Chapter 336: Electricity, from beginner to proficient

"Oh? Is it? "When the news came that the Chunnan army had conquered the Great South Pass, consolidated all the defensive lines south of the Great South Pass, cleaned up the local resistance, and changed from the side attacking the pass to the side defending the pass, Ye Tao also asked casually, is it that Chunnan won the victory, it was expected, and there has never been a general who can get so much support and almost unlimited troops as Chen Xujing. And Chunnan really did one thing: as long as the result, regardless of casualties. Imagine, in this case, if Chen Xujing can't capture the Great South Pass, then the country of Chunnan will be too disappointing.

And under such excellent conditions, Chen Xujing's results were much stronger than expected. From the beginning of the entire attack in Chunnan to the recovery of Da Nan Pass, the total number of troops mobilized in Chunnan was 442,000, the total casualties were 97,000, and the total number of enemies destroyed reached 175,000. This number alone is fine, but considering that the offensive launched by Yunzhou at the same time almost caused the same order of magnitude of casualties as Xiling, although there are quite a lot of moisture among the non-main battle troops, but under the advantages of one or the other, now Xiling is under the attack on both sides, and the military losses are only heavy, which is needless to say. Moreover, now that Xiling is still storming Danan Pass, it is estimated that Xiling will never give up without paying tens of thousands of losses. The loss of military strength was only one aspect, and the greater loss was the rare crushing defeat of Xiling at the hands of Chunnan. When Chunnan has the confidence to fight with Xiling and has the confidence to reap the victory, even if the cost is high, it means that Chunnan has begun to have the posture of a strong country. Of course, a large part of the formation of this posture of a great power is due to the allied Dongping. As an ally, whether Dongping sent troops to attack the Zhenbei Military Division this time, whether it was a feint in the army at Xunshan Pass, or a positive attitude in providing all kinds of ordnance, equipment and consumables, Chunnan was seen up and down. At this time, Dongping's high-level officials such as Tan Xiaopei and others had no opinion on Ye Tao's exposure of the airship to Chunnan in advance, and when Chunnan's confidence was now inflated, if there was nothing that could scare them, it would be a headache.

Stimulated by the fall of Da Nan Pass, Xi Ling's attitude became more and more obvious, they almost gave up Zhenzhou clearly, although they did not withdraw troops from Taizhou and Zhongzhou for two weeks but replenished a considerable number of troops to two weeks, but that was just a compensatory preparation for strengthening the defense of the northern front after the loss of Zhenzhou, whether it was strength or combat effectiveness, there was still a great distance from launching an offensive of sufficient scale. And the Xiling army pressed southward, which made Yunzhou breathe a sigh of relief. After strengthening the defense of the northern tribes and the Northern Liaoxi Route Army, Yunzhou began to pay attention to administration, governance, economy, and so on. When the Northern Xinjiang Jingluo Mansion and the Zhenzhou Governor's Mansion began to operate smoothly, Ye Tao was idle. He can wait for the birth of a child with hope, he can drill into the research institute and try to get the basic photographic equipment out first, and he can also steer the research on electricity in the research institute on the right track.

In terms of the research of photographic technology, Ye Tao is mainly responsible for the research of mechanical structure, and the teams of Ye's Workshop Research Institute are becoming more and more experienced in terms of chemical composition and materials. This is how all kinds of research are being conducted. In the beginning, everyone didn't understand the method, and they didn't know how to conduct the experiment in the most efficient and scientific, but when such a system was gradually established, when each team had a set of their own database, and could refer to each other and discuss with each other, the research went more and more smoothly. Although it is still very limited to use a glass substrate, after a period of experimentation, the image is quite clear when the exposure is correct. Ye Tao's research and development of the mechanical structure of the camera has progressed even faster. After a period of debugging, the camera produced by Yip's workshop is quite modern in terms of purely mechanical structure. The camera uses a four-inch by five-inch glass negative, which is manually loaded. The camera can change lenses and can accurately switch between hundredths of a second, sixtieth of a second, tenths of a second, quarter of a second, half a second, one second, and manual shutter release steps, and even an external shutter release cable. So far, Yip's workshop has only produced three types of prime lenses, one wide-angle, one standard, and one telephoto. Purely in terms of optical properties, it is quite good. Now, this kind of camera, which looks relatively mature, still needs to wait for a newer generation of negatives before it can be put into practical use. And that requires a lot of testing, but I can't rush it out all of a sudden. At this time, Ye Tao simply began to fully roll out the electrical research of Ye's workshop.

Now, Yip's Workshop's technical system has reached a bottleneck. In terms of craftsmanship and mechanical technology, Ye's workshop has almost reached the pinnacle, just watching Ye Tao take out such complex things as airships and cameras, and the whole workshop can quickly complete the stage from drawings to real objects with full efforts, and it can be seen that it can be manufactured without obstacles. It may not be as good as it could have been in terms of performance, but the subsequent adjustments were quickly followed, with new materials, more efficient processes, and corrections to imperfections in the initial design quickly in place, and the whole workshop did not even feel any pressure to do so. When Ye Tao realized this, even if it was a little reluctant, he would put the development of electricity on the agenda, not to mention that it seemed to be a natural thing now.

In order to arouse the interest of the whole workshop in electricity, Ye Tao plagiarized the experiments played by the teacher when he first came into contact with electricity. The electrostatic test was not sensational, but the effect of two people turning the two turntables with force was quite amazing, and the result was a crackling electric spark between the two metal rods that did not touch each other.

"Originally, didn't you say that Lord Ye was the reincarnation of the Fire God...... Why now, playing Thor's trick? "When the first internal public demonstration of the Yip's Workshop ended, some people began to ask questions in the Yip's Workshop, where the mind wanted to be active and jumping.

"Of course it's the reincarnation of the Fire God, otherwise, how can Lord Ye know how to extract the fire essence from the ground and make it into a fire oil bomb?"

"The oil bomb was made by the Gao family......

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, the oil bomb made by the Gao family and the current oil bomb are one in the sky and one underground, if you want to talk about power, it can't be compared."

"Don't be idle, what is the trick that Lord Ye made today? …… The flickering, crackling, small sound, but it was indeed thunder, right? ”

“…… Don't say, it's really, don't adults call it electricity? It must be. ”

"You say, what is Lord Ye going to do? It's all openly taught, and we all can learn it. This Lord Ye doesn't take the fairy things too seriously, right? This is a revelation of heaven, but it will be a disaster. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, how many times has Lord Ye said it, whether it's an airship, an oil bomb or electricity, it's all science. Science! Do you understand? ”

Ye Tao never imagined that his demonstration in order to arouse everyone's interest in learning electricity would actually spark a debate between occultism and science in Yip's workshop. And because Ye Tao has always made the truth clear when teaching technology and establishing a technical system, many people in Ye's workshop have transformed from agnostics to staunch believers in science.

Ye Tao's demonstration of the entire workshop is not unusual in the eyes of some people. It is the elite in this part of the research institute who has been following Ye Tao to make various experimental instruments, strictly speaking, teaching aids. This group of people was also the first to listen to Ye Tao explain the basic principles of electricity. After all, Ye Tao is not the kind of person who has never touched the content of electromagnetism after the college entrance examination, and in the original time and space, as an industrial designer, it is unimaginable that he does not understand the content of electromagnetism. Although it was so many years apart, recalling those contents was inevitably a little rusty at the beginning, but as the explanation progressed, Ye Tao became more and more proficient. Afterwards, I looked through the records of those technicians and technicians who took notes carefully, picked up the gaps, and revised them again, and a set of basic electromagnetism tutorials came out. This version of the electromagnetism tutorial is so easy that it's basically a beginner's level of difficulty all the way up to high school. After all, the current technical conditions, it is meaningless to go deeper and higher.

After Ye Tao gave a total of eight lectures on electricity that lasted for more than half a month, the whole workshop would make the first batch of electrical products according to Ye Tao's requirements, including electric lights and other things. In fact, regardless of the difficulty of mass production, in the research institute, Ye Tao has successfully produced quite bright bulbs. The outside is a vacuumed glass cover, and the inside is made of tungsten wire, which is very simple and classic. But what is more classic is that the technicians of our Yip's workshop found that metal conductivity will glow, and after they enthusiastically tried various materials, they quickly made an electric furnace. Yip's Workshop has set up a total of four windmills for wind power generation tests, as well as trial production and testing of power transmission and distribution systems and equipment for voltage rises and downs.

The equipment of the cable telegraph is concise and easy to understand, and in the case that the basic principle is very clear, and the production process in all aspects can be coordinated, it was immediately made out and began to be tested online, between Ye's workshop and the villa outside Ningyuan City, where Ye Tao's family lived, telegraph lines began to be erected, and two telegraph stations began to be established, but the more troublesome thing is that now the technology of sending messages for specific telegraph stations without affecting other telegraph stations has not been solved. Ye Tao is not a god after all, and it is no problem to develop some basic equipment according to basic electrical principles, but this kind of switch technology is a little troublesome. However, telegraph equipment can greatly improve the efficiency of information transmission. The officials of the Transletter Bureau quickly came up with a plan to establish six regional general telegraph stations and thirty-two small telegraph stations throughout Yunzhou, and the General Bureau would be located in Gondor in the future. The small station only transmits messages to the sub-district terminus, and multiple lines are set up between the terminus and the terminus to transmit messages in parallel. Then send it to the substation through the main station. Although it is a bit complicated, through such a relay method, it should be possible to achieve a relatively good communication level without the development of switch technology.
