Chapter 459: Galileo laments the greatness of the ancient Chinese

The Mechanics and Optics Laboratory of the Royal Academy of Sciences is located in the West Courtyard of the Royal Academy of Sciences, close to the Taiye Pool, so even in the middle of summer, it can be as cool as spring, coupled with Zhu Youxiao's preferential treatment, the Inner Palace Supervisor is specially ordered to allocate an additional 10,000 silver dollars per month to the Royal Academy of Sciences outside the Ministry of Works, so as to prevent these Ming scholars who are still doing scientific experiments on hot days from heat stroke.

Galileo had just come out of the cold laboratory and entered the newly built optoelectronic laboratory.

However, the laboratory requires ventilation at all times, and the windows must be large and the space must be large, so in addition to the biological laboratory needs some low temperature areas, this kind of mechanics and optoelectronics laboratory cannot use ice to achieve cooling.

Because of this, as soon as Galileo entered, he felt a scorching hot wind coming towards him, and he suddenly felt that his whole body was hot like a fire, which made him feel a little depressed.

However, he is not only depressed because this is a summer that is even more unbearable than his hometown of Florence, but also because he is not so free to engage in scientific research in this country as he imagined, because the imperial court will always establish the direction of the subject for you according to his needs, and if you want to get more project funds from the imperial court, you must also apply to the imperial court and it is best to focus on the subject of the imperial court, so that the imperial court will not be stingy with the allocation of funds for your subject.

This led to many pedantic scholars flocking to the subjects that the imperial court, especially His Majesty the Emperor, were interested in, or were more interested in applied research that saw money, while Galileo was reluctant to follow the baton of the imperial court, but when he first came to the Ming Dynasty, he urgently needed to improve his material life, so he was very bored.

Fortunately, the topic of the photoelectric effect, which the imperial court focused on, was what he was interested in, so he took the initiative to apply for this topic when he found Bi Mao and cooperated with Fang Yizhi.

Galileo admired Fang Yizhi, who was younger than himself but was proficient in Chinese Confucianism and Yangming, and was also extremely interested in natural philosophy. But Fang Yizhi was obviously bolder than him, perhaps because of his youth and impulsiveness, he decided to go to the wire to collect electricity during a thunderstorm.

Galileo didn't know how Fang Yizhi collected electricity, but he learned the next day that Fang Yizhi had been electrocuted and was still resting at home.

As a result, he is now the only one in charge of the laboratory.

Galileo liked the configuration of the Ming scientific research laboratory, which was obviously much larger than the private laboratory of the Grand Duke of Toscan in Florence, and was built in a rich area of the royal garden, which was well isolated from the hustle and bustle of the city, but the location was in the center of the city, so that it was convenient and efficient to collect experimental materials.

Not only that, every experimenter here has to wear a uniform white coat, from the dean Xu Ge to the intern, as long as they enter the laboratory, they have to do so, and there are even laboratory regulations such as not fighting, dining, and making noise in it, and there are special requirements for some special laboratories.

This made Galileo feel that it was very formal.

In the laboratory, there are a variety of special laboratories and equipment, test tubes, flasks, beakers, funnels, condensers, gooseneck flasks, chromatographic separators, petri dishes and other utensils are everything, and placed in a regular manner, as well as special department management, and the laboratory also has a low temperature laboratory, a high temperature laboratory, a variety of biochemical test benches suitable for impact, combustion, extraction, etc.

It can be said that in Daming to engage in scientific research, as a scientific researcher, you don't have to purchase any equipment and build a laboratory by yourself, but directly put forward your needs to the Procurement Bureau of the Royal Academy of Sciences, and you don't need to pay a penny, but the Royal Industries Company will send the equipment you need in the fastest time.

Although Fang Yizhi was almost killed by lightning, he also encouraged Galileo to continue to do experiments in electricity, before that, he and Fang Yizhi had already learned about the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction according to the data of the Royal Academy of Sciences, and Galileo originally wanted to prove whether the electromagnetic induction provided by this information was correct.

However, due to the urgency of the above, he had to directly take a step forward and directly do the experiment of using magnetic induction to generate current, so he did not first demonstrate the correctness of this information.

However, Galileo is also very curious, why the Royal Academy of Sciences has so many mysterious information, these materials provide content sometimes beyond human imagination, but the logic is very reasonable, every time Galileo asked Fang Yizhi, Fang Yizhi just deduced that this is the mysterious information left by the ancestors of China, and the descendants are not as good as the ancients, so they have to try to explore the mystery left by the ancients.

This is actually an excuse that Zhu Youxiao deliberately made, but the people of the Academy of Sciences have to believe it, and now Galileo has to not believe it.

The machine in front of him consists of two large magnets and countless copper wire coils, as well as small magnetic needles and gold wires, etc., which are all used by Galileo to do electromagnetic induction experiments, he has failed no less than ten times, and the information of the Royal Academy of Sciences has been gnawed by him countless times, and he even directly replaced the wire material with gold, in order to catch the current as soon as possible, of course, he sometimes doubts whether the electromagnetic induction mentioned in this information is correct, and whether he is doing useless work.

Galileo decided that if he didn't succeed this time, he would have to honestly follow the steps, like Fang Yizhi, first find a way to collect electricity, then prove the existence of electromagnetic induction, and then find a way to generate electricity through magnets and copper coils.

After a busy morning, Galileo, who was already sweating profusely, finally completed the construction of the experimental equipment, and began to turn to the iron rod to cut the magnetic field, just when he thought that the experiment would fail again, he found that the small magnetic needle suddenly moved, Galileo suddenly sighed in his heart, he couldn't even believe the result in front of him, and thought it was because of the wind.

But when he looked back and saw that he had closed the window to avoid interference, and that the small magnetic needle was still rotating while he kept cutting the magnetic field, he finally confirmed that he had successfully achieved electromagnetic induction.

Galileo was overjoyed and wanted to go crazy, he had forgotten the stuffiness of the laboratory, he urgently took out a notebook to record all the details, and wanted to optimize the experiment as soon as possible, and create a set of equipment that can generate electricity as soon as possible, he was excited to find Fang Yizhi as soon as possible and tell him about his great discovery.

However, it occurred to Galileo that all of this seemed to have been revealed by the mystical information of the Royal Academy of Sciences, that is, the ancestors of this ancient empire had already known the mysteries, that is, they were the first discoverers of the experiment of how electricity was generated, and that he had only copied and reenacted their experiments.

Thinking of this, Galileo couldn't help but feel a little lost, sighed helplessly, and wrote in his diary when he returned home in the evening: "These great descendants of Yan and Huang, how many secrets do they still have not yet been known, God, why do you care for them so much." ”

Galileo sighed and couldn't help but be more determined to continue his scientific research career in Daming, because he found that in this country, he could always learn a lot of things that he couldn't learn before, and he even decided to apply to Zhu Youxiao, he wanted to send a letter back to Europa, telling his family that he would always stay in this country called Daming, and he would be buried here in a hundred years.
