Chaoyang put down the report and walked to the office window.
It was around seven in the evening by now, and nightfall was gradually taking over the remnants of the setting sun, but the city before him still shone with dazzling light. A multitude of sensor-activated street lamps had replaced the old kerosene lamps, and many households had also purchased stable light fixtures that didn't rely on any fuel, allowing them to do whatever they wanted all through the night. As a port city, the cost of tallow candles had always been low, and the nightlife had long been integrated into the concept of living in Magnificent Castle. Now, with even more stable and bright illumination, it already had a touch of a city that never sleeps.
If it were the newly arrived Chaoyang, upon seeing this urban nightscape, he would have certainly thought that electricity had already been fully developed here.
In fact, these lamps were replicas from the relics found in City of Defense.
