Chapter 472 Company
And the materials produced by the steelmaking and foundry factories in Wan Qiyang are the only ones in the world. Like springs, bearings are particularly important components, only Wan Qianyang's factory produces, no one wants to imitate it, because many elements they have no way of knowing how to get it, and this period of time has passed, the School of Physics of Cambridge University has also been built, the laboratory has also been completed, Wan Qiyang as the first branch of the School of Physics Branch Dean gave a class for everyone, this class is all the industry elites and all kinds of professors, everyone watched Wan Qiyang made a pocket version of the steam machine he invented and put it on the desk, There are a lot of copper wires, and the treatment of this copper wire alone really gave Wan Qiyang a headache for a while, because there is no plastic now, and there will be no insulating glue. Therefore, Wan Qiyang can only do not touch them when they are wound, so the volume of the copper coil has been increased even more, and everyone looks at these equipment and tools inexplicably, not knowing what kind of experiment Wan Qiyang is going to do.
We all know that physics and chemistry are inseparable from experiments, and all theories are completed and proven through experiments. And Wan Qiyang wants to bring you another sensational invention on the first day of teaching, that is, the generator. Wan Qiyang first talked about the formulas that needed to be explained and wrote them on the blackboard, but everyone didn't know why, so they all sat quietly in the teaching and research room and watched Wan Qiyang carefully record countless formulas and solutions on the podium.
"Greetings, ladies and gentlemen! Today is an ordinary day, but you may remember what happened on this day and what kind of changes it will bring to humanity. I will prophesy that in two hundred years at most mankind will go to sea and fly into the sky, and it will only take two hours from London to Paris. I often come to prove everything I said, and now you look at the laws and formulas on my board, and some of you must know it, but today I will talk about a machine that I invented, which I call a generator, and the generator is used to generate electricity as the name suggests. What is electricity used for? I tell you that there are many things that can be done with electricity in the future, and the most direct is that it can bring light to everyone, okay, let me do an experiment for you. Everyone watched carefully, and after the experiment, everyone came to ask questions. After Wan Qiyang finished speaking, he directly connected all the machines, and then used coke as fuel to start the steam engine to work, and then drove the transmission shaft to start the generator to work. At this time, everyone heard a motor noise, and then Wan Qiyang opened the thing wrapped in black velvet cloth and showed up, and everyone found that it was a glass sphere, but there was a core in the very thin glass, like a swim bladder in the belly of a fish, and the tail was still metal.
When all the machines are connected, everyone is still very puzzled, not knowing what surprise this so-called generator will bring to everyone.
After watching Wan Qiyang finish everything, everyone looked at everyone, and then suddenly pressed the switch with their hands, and at this time, the glass bulb emitted a dazzling light. Everyone was completely shocked at this moment, and it really brought light to everyone! It's amazing, everyone only then understands what Wan Qiyang said just now.
Subsequently, Wan Qiyang explained the principle of electricity generation once, and applied for a patent, and Wan Qiyang really registered a company called "Edison Electric Company". Everyone listened to Wan Qianyang's class and felt very worthwhile, and witnessed the new invention, at this time, some professors began to ask questions, as long as all kinds of more professional topics are related to the knowledge that Wan Qianyang said, he gave answers, and some questions exceeded the topic, Wan Qiyang also made a more detailed answer, which made the principal and vice president who participated in the lecture admired, it is simply the treasure of Cambridge University!
Before leaving, Wan Qiyang also told the principal about the construction of the laboratory in chemistry, and also said that he would provide a set of latest discoveries.
During the whole lecture time, Vivian sat in the first row and listened carefully, watching Wan Qiyang's answers to all kinds of questions make the questioners very satisfied, and her adoring eyes became brighter and brighter!
Because of the establishment of the School of Physics, Wan Qiyang will not participate in the enrollment of these things, he only did one thing, that is, to provide professional teaching materials for the college, which is a very outstanding contribution, Cambridge University has created a bust statue of Wan Qiyang in the school on the square opposite the entrance gate of the Physics Branch, it seems that English scholars still value talent and knowledge, and do not care what identity and nationality this person is.
At the same time, the laboratory of the School of Physics has also begun to be put into use, due to the use of the laboratory, many of Wan Qiyang's inventions can be carried out here, of course, the prototypes are models, and the products need to be processed in the factory. In addition, Wan Qianyang's registered 'Edison Power Company' was born ahead of schedule, and it was first installed on the streets of London, and provided free electricity supply for everyone between dark and 10 o'clock in the evening, which made the people of the whole UK know that the streets of London are bright at night. To this end, Wan also asked Henry to convince the shopkeepers of a shopping street that if they wanted to open their shops at night, they could install electric lights for them free of charge and provide them with a month's free electricity, which was Wan Qianyang's first coal-fired power plant in England.
To be honest, such an advanced new thing, especially conducive to people's lives, which makes it very easy for everyone to accept, and then all the businesses that use electric lights also see another business prospect, have to pay to buy electricity, at the same time, Wan Qiyang also organized the school to develop new products, in fact, he also registered a patent, but let the school also join the production of accessories.
With the invention of the generator, Wan Qiyang also put the research and invention of telegraph and telephone on the agenda. He came up with the principles and some technical support, and the rest was left to the laboratory and his own company to develop. In fact, the telephone is not troublesome, but the materials needed for some parts have not yet been invented, so Wan Qiyang invested in the construction of the laboratory of the chemistry branch of the University of Cambridge.
At this time, Wan Qiyang realized that he had unknowingly come to England for two years, and if he returned to China now, then some things would be delayed here, but at this time Wan Qianyang did not do this, because he received a letter from Song Changqing in China two months ago, which explained that after Chongzhen inherited the throne, the first major thing was to successfully wipe out the eunuchs and eunuchs. There has been no change on the side of Lord Cheng in Sichuan, and there is news in the capital that another group of people joined the battle when the capital was arresting Wei Zhongxian's group of dead friends who were about to escape, and the result was naturally a three-party fight, and Wei Zhongxian's gang were all destroyed, but at the same time, it was not found that the stolen goods and money carried by a group of people in his dead party were said to be related to other mysterious people, but there has been no news of it.
