592 Lamps that can't be blown out
In Qin, an invention is accelerating the electrification of Qin. Electric light finally came out. However, there seems to be a lot of electric lights.
There was a lot of good news from the electrical laboratory of Qinguo University at once.
The first type of electric light is from the arc profession. Arc students invented an arc lighting that utilizes between two carbon rods. In fact, a lamp capable of illuminating has been discovered in the laboratory before. Platinum wire can also emit light when electrified, but this metal has just been recognized and cannot be popularized on a large scale, so it was rejected under material limitations.
The other type of electric lamp is a carbonized bamboo wire, which is placed under a vacuum glass bottle and emitted light. This kind of electric light is more practical. Experimenters are counting how durable the bulb is.
However, people don't care about that, it's a lamp that can't be blown out. And, as factories build power plants, more and more trees are being built. As a result, people have a deep understanding of electricity.
"I think we've found a chance to make a fortune." A young man who made a fortune speculating in stocks said to another. He decided to invest in this project. The prospects for this project are too broad.
Not only these two young people, but many people decided to invest in this project. Think of the light that a single lighting device can emit the light of several kerosene lamps. This is one of a kind.
The newspaper immediately reported on the matter. When Shang Wen still has to negotiate. But Han Shu had no intention of negotiating at all.
"I heard that you have invented a lamp that cannot be blown out. Can I go over and have a look? Han Shu asked.
"Yes, of course." Shang Wen said.
So Shangwen took Han Shu to visit the electric light.
The experiment was going on because the experimenter was going to test his lamp to see how long it could emit light. Coincidentally, King Qin was also there. King Qin looked at the lamp with a glass cover with interest. It's not surprising at all that there is a glass cover, it's strange that this glass cover is sealed. It was introduced that it was a vacuum.
King Qin looked at this kind of light that could be lit as long as he touched the switch and turned off by touching it again.
"Hehe, you don't need a fire, this lamp can be lit. It's weird. King Qin asked curiously.
Han Shu looked at the electric light curiously. This light is not blown out. It's controlled by a small thing. The concept of electricity. It was the first time it had been in her consciousness.
"What's it called?" Han Shu asked.
"Electric light." Shang Wen replied.
"Electric light." Han Shu said. King Qin saw that King Han was also coming. Say hello to each other naturally. Shang Wen naturally accompanied.
But the reporters recorded the moment with their cameras. The significance of electric light is very significant. This is a new thing that can enter thousands of households and become popular.
The human world has day and night. But the advent of electric lights. Begin to make the night envoys of mankind as if they were day.
The advent of electric light was soon reported in the newspapers. Some technical issues have not yet been resolved.
This kind of light bulb, which is powered by carbon filament under vacuum, is only the first experimental light bulb in the Qin state. Although there is a longer period of time. Time has proven that this light bulb has nearly 400 hours of care time, which is more than enough. But for the future development needs to see. This is not enough.
And the bulb is still made of an organic fiber. That is, the fiber material that has existed in nature. The subsequent development of a carbon rod filled with nitrogen under a glass bulb and energized carbon rod to emit light and carbon filament incandescent lamps did not have the same tungsten bulb as used in current bulb technology.
Not only these, although the electricity of the Qin State has made great progress, the level of development of electricity is very inconsistent. For example, the voltage used by light bulbs. Arc bulbs use a higher voltage. Carbon filament incandescent lamps, on the other hand, use a lower voltage. And the voltage standards used by individual power plants are very different. From 42 voltages, the voltage of the Qin State unified voltage standard. Ranging from 125. And there is also a high voltage of up to 990 voltage. This was very uneven in the development of the Qin state.
At the same time, the development of insulated wires in Qin is not optimistic. At this time, there are several types of insulated wires. Natural resin materials are still dominant. The second is polymer polyvinyl chloride. The chemical pole of the Qin State discovered this compound by chance.
When vinyl chloride is irradiated by sunlight, a white solid is formed, which is found under this method. However, the researchers of the Qin State do not seem to have continued to study the rapid industrial production method, and they still use this more primitive method of sunlight production. Although other methods have been studied, they are still the main industrial method for the production of PVC.
The output of polyvinyl chloride directly determines the future direction of electricity in the Qin country. If there is no absolute material to replace natural resin, then the popularization of electric lighting in the Qin State will be limited by this.
These questions are naturally not known to King Qin and King Han. They were just curious about it, and the King of Qin hoped that this kind of electric light could be used on a large scale in the palace of the King of Qin. Because the illumination of this lamp far exceeds the brightness of candles, kerosene, etc.
Something new always attracts a lot of people's attention. Small and medium-sized companies in the Qin State began to look for these technicians to upgrade the technology.
However, there are also shrewd people who have noticed that in order to develop and popularize this kind of thing, it is necessary to need wires. So they turned to another technology that could popularize wires on a large scale.
Shang Wen's worries were completely unnecessary, because in the Qin State of commercial liberalization, as long as people need it, then there will always be someone who will come up with a way to solve these things. Aren't the wires missing? Naturally, some people want to get it.
Experimentalists have discovered that organic peroxides can accelerate the polymerization of vinyl chloride, and this discovery is being transferred to the commercial field to speed up the production of polyvinyl chloride.
Just when all eyes were on electricity. The automobile industry of the Qin State also had new inventions.
The first is the advent of gasoline engines. The advent of batteries and electric plugs allowed the appearance of light internal combustion engines such as gasoline engines, and then people used them in cars.
Secondly, there were two major differences in the cars of the Qin State. One is a wheeled car. This is nature. But the other is tracked. This tracked type is mainly a product of diesel engines.
Since there is no rubber and therefore no tires, wheeled cars are prone to bumps. And the advent of the tracked type changed the situation. They can be very stable. But the speed was slow, but their payload was a huge advantage, and the difference was immediately contested. The state of Qin held the first mechanical car competition
