In the research room of the Royal Academy of Sciences, it was crowded, and Zhao Xiang had already washed up and changed into the clothes sent by his daughter-in-law. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info However, although the whole person was neatly groomed and looked much refreshed, it was difficult to hide his bitter gourd face expression, standing beside Yang Lin, and muttering: "Your Majesty, you can make me miserable this time~, my tigress will not give up"

As soon as this remark came out, it was almost a conditional launch, Zhao Xiang looked around weakly, this meow, that look, caused everyone to laugh, their thoughts flew, and they couldn't help but think of what they had just done.

"Ha~Ha~"

Yang Lin laughed uncontrollably, and said knowingly: "Hey~ Lao Zhao, what does this have to do with me?" You ask yourself, did I force you to say those things just now? Have you forgotten who said that you are so high-spirited and quite manly, and no one forced you to say anything about a husband, right? If you want to complain, you can only hope that you will be coaxed and blown too much, which can not blame me~! ”

Zhao Xiang suddenly felt depressed, and was speechless when asked rhetorically, and had nothing to refute, so he had to say brightly: "Okay, when I didn't say it, hey~ I can only admit that I am unlucky, and I can't complain about others, I can only blame my mouth." ”

After saying this, he seemed to think of what happened to him when he went home at night, and his wife Henwei, who was about to face, sighed deeply: "Hey... When I go back tonight, how should I get through that level? ”

Hearing this, seeing Zhao Xiang's sad appearance, and no longer having the look of the husband who had just boasted, everyone sighed for a while, and couldn't help laughing, but Yang Lin smiled and said disapprerovingly: "Old Zhao, don't worry about that, hurry up and introduce the achievements of your Royal Academy of Sciences." If you can make me feel comfortable and happy, maybe you can come up with a trick to get you through tonight's difficulties and make sure you don't get punished or something! ”

In an instant, Zhao Xiang's eyes lit up, and he saw that the emperor was very confident, as if he had seen a savior, and immediately showed a flattering face, and said like a treasure: "Your Majesty, you come with me, during this time, the Royal Academy of Sciences has studied a lot of good things, basically broke through the technical difficulties, and is now discussing with the engineers of the Royal Academy of Engineering to improve those things, if it goes well, within a month, it can be applied to practice, popularized and used, and it is definitely beneficial to the country and the people!" ”

Yang Lin's face was very calm, but he was curious in his heart, and said lightly as he walked: "Oh~? Lao Zhao, what have you all invented that makes you so smug and seem to be very happy? ”

As soon as he heard the word smugness, Zhao Xiang immediately felt uncomfortable. However, I had to force a smile and introduced: "Your Majesty, since a year ago, you raised the issue of electricity and magnetism, and gave a lot of hints. After a year of research and expansion, our scientific team has enriched the content of the two theories, tried to apply them to practice, and came up with some inventions. ”

While speaking, under the leadership of Zhao Xiang, everyone has come to an area of the research room, and there are some models on the ground, seeing these, Zhao Xiang is very excited and proud to continue: "We have expanded and improved on the principle of the steam engine, and according to some conclusions obtained in magnetic generation, we have developed a set of power generation equipment. ”

"~ Your Majesty, please see, as long as this set of equipment is developed and put into practical application, the cost of electricity can be greatly reduced. Moreover, there is no water pollution caused by the production of electricity from those batteries, and the pollution generated by this set of equipment is much lighter, and only the supply of coal is sufficient. ”

Yang Lin looked at this set of power generation equipment, and after looking at it for a while, he sighed lightly and suddenly asked: "Hey~ Lao Zhao, the operating principle of your power generation equipment should be borrowed from some technologies of steam engine ships, right?" ”

Zhao Xiang rubbed his head, did not shy away at all, nodded, and said honestly: "Your Majesty, you are really sharp-eyed, this set of power generation equipment is indeed borrowed from some technology of steam engine ships. Although the steam engine steamer still had some flaws, the short range, the high cost and the high noise. However, its technology is very advanced and forward-looking, and it is almost an indispensable part of the keel of this power generation equipment. ”

Hearing this, Yang Lin was already unconcealably excited, the world at this time was still the era of the steam engine, it was all mechanical principles, and there was no country that applied electricity to practice. Not only is the technology of electricity not mature enough, but it is also very rough, but also because its cost is very high, and power generation is a battery.

From machinery to electricity, it is definitely a cross-era jump, once a variety of power technology blowout, whether it is national defense, or the development of the country, the Guangzhou Dynasty will enter the fast lane of rapid development, far more than other countries, some problems will be solved.

For example, the mining of mineral deposits, the smelting of metals, etc., will be completely and completely solved with the widespread use of electricity.

Thinking of this, Yang Lin turned to look at Zheng Yi's sister-in-law, and said solemnly: "Zheng Yi's sister-in-law, go back, you specially approved some copper and iron, and specially allocated them to the Royal Academy of Sciences and the Royal Academy of Engineering, so that they can make a set of real power generation equipment." And coal, which is already in the spring and the demand for coal is already very low. Therefore, as long as the two houses need coal, they must be allocated unconditionally! ”

However, Zheng Yi's sister-in-law is an ancient person after all, she has never heard of the concept of electricity, and she is not as excited as everyone else, seeing that the emperor said solemnly, she also had to pay attention to it, and immediately promised: "Yes, the emperor, as long as it is copper, iron and coal used for power generation equipment, how much does the two houses want, I will try my best to satisfy them, and apply this set of technology to practice as soon as possible!" ”

Yang Lin nodded with satisfaction, the scientists and engineers of the two academies were excited, and they couldn't help themselves, this set of power generation equipment was their child, it was their hard work, countless days and nights of hard research, thinking that there would be a real thing soon, and they were about to witness it with their own eyes, how could they not be excited? How to be unhappy?

At this time, without waiting for Zhao Xiang to express his happiness on behalf of everyone, Yang Lin's expression suddenly closed, and he said in a deep voice: "Old Zhao, I know that if this power generation equipment runs non-stop, it will need to consume a lot of coal, and when the time comes, it will inevitably cause serious air pollution. Therefore, the place where this power generation equipment can only be displayed is in the suburbs, far away from Beiping City. After the power generation is successful, the wires are erected to introduce the generated electricity into the city of Beiping for daily use. ”

For a while, the pleasant atmosphere just now cooled down, especially those scientists and engineers, who were very puzzled. If the power plant is placed in the suburbs, there will be many constants, and the scientists and engineers in charge of power generation equipment will inevitably follow them, so as to monitor the operation of the equipment and obtain first-hand current affairs information, which can be conducive to the improvement and perfection of the equipment.

However, the construction of a power plant and a place for scientists and engineers to live is also a small project, and in a short period of time, it is difficult to see the results and the operation of the power generation equipment.

If the power plant is placed in the city, there is no need to worry about the food and lodging of scientists and engineers, and the construction period will be shortened by more than half simply by building a power plant. However, seeing Yang Lin's expression of no bargaining, Zhao Xiang glanced at everyone, and had no choice but to say helplessly: "The emperor is right, to build such a large power plant, the amount of coal consumed to run the equipment every day is very huge, and the noise is not small, which will affect the clothing, food, housing and transportation of the residents in the city." ”

At this point, everyone had to compromise. However, someone still said: "Since the location of the power plant cannot be changed, can the emperor, give priority to the construction of the power plant and put those equipment in place as soon as possible?" As for the accommodation of our people, it is not very important, just deal with it~! ”

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, the construction of power plants is the priority, and everything else is secondary." Many scientists and engineers echoed each other, their faces full of anticipation.

Yang Lin looked at it and knew that the scientists and engineers who were talking about this should be those who jointly developed power generation equipment, understood the urgency of these people, and were eager to immediately turn their inventions into results.

Thinking of this, seeing everyone's expectant eyes, Yang Lin nodded heavily, and said loudly: "Okay, just do what you say." However, for your safety and to keep the construction period intact, I will send an army to be stationed there when the project starts, just in case! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone said in unison.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xiang turned sideways, pointed to a light bulb and said: "Your Majesty, please see, this is based on your suggestion, some improvements, the filament is replaced with tungsten metal material, and the inside is also pumped into a vacuum, and the longest life that can be used at present is about 1,000 hours." ”

"Also, its power supply is based on the principle of magnetoelectric conversion, as long as the hand shakes the guard and keeps rotating, it can generate electricity, and the bulb will be able to light up immediately!"

Between speaking, in order to increase the persuasiveness of his words, Zhao Xiang took a step forward, closed a switch, held the guard, and shook it quickly.

Yang Lin smiled and nodded, looked back and forth between the power generation equipment and the light bulb, and said, "Well, it's good, it's good." Zhao Xiang, this power generation equipment should be similar to the power supply system of the light bulb, right? You only need to replace the guard with steam as the power, and the energy will continue to generate electricity, right? ”

At this time, a scientist stood up and responded: "The emperor is wise, it is this principle, compared with the original mechanical energy supply, the power system is introduced in the middle. Like mechanical movement, it is not easy to manipulate, and the operation is unstable. Electricity is different, we can adjust its current and voltage, we can control its output, and provide a stable operation of power. ”

Immediately afterwards, the scientist pointed to the sky, and a fan appeared in everyone's sight, and said: "Your Majesty, this is the fan you invented." In the beginning, it was powered by donkeys, and then by steam engines. However, both types of power are very unstable, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, which is very inconvenient. Now it's different, with this power system, the fan has a division of grades, so as to choose different sizes of wind power. ”

Zheng Yi's sister-in-law was stunned, and turned to surprise. She knows that this fan first appeared in Guangzhou, it was invented by the emperor, and she has one in her own residence, which can be said to be an indispensable thing for summer escape. However, what has been criticized is that, as the scientist said, the fan is very unstable and cannot choose the size of the wind.

Looking at the hanging fan, which was exactly the same as what he had seen, Yang Lin couldn't help but be overjoyed, turned his head to look at Zheng Yi's sister-in-law, and said with a smile: "Zheng Yi's sister-in-law, it's not long before summer now, whether you can use a new fan this summer and enjoy a stable wind speed, it's up to you~!" ”

Zheng Yi's sister-in-law was slightly stunned, then reacted and promised: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely build a power station on the outskirts of the city before the summer comes, and strive to deliver the electricity you said to Beiping City when the heat comes." ”

Yang Lin smiled slightly, pointed to the light bulb, and said loudly: "Not only that, but this thing should also be popularized." ”

Immediately, Yang Lin showed a mysterious smile and said seriously: "These two things are rare things, very convenient, if they are used well, this summer, the imperial court will have a lot of income, and there will be no problem with finance~"

Hearing this, Zheng Yi's sister-in-law and a few people beside her lit up, and Zheng Yi's sister-in-law, the minister of industry, took the lead in saying: "As long as the market for light bulbs is opened, ordinary people may not be able to afford it, but those rich people will definitely flock to buy it one after another." Also, if you buy a light bulb, you have to use electricity, and the court can collect electricity, and for these two alone, some of the court's expenses have been found! ”

The Minister of Taxation was not reconciled, and then said: "Whether it is a light bulb, a fan, or a power plant, after a long time, some merchants will see the opportunity to make money, and they will build factories, produce and sell them one after another, so that the imperial court will have a new tax, and the treasury will be full." ”

These words reminded Yang Lin of another issue, that is, patent application and protection. Just secretly decided, but did not show it, Yang Lin looked at several ministers, and said praisefully: "Not bad, not bad, my head is turning very fast!" ”

Immediately, Yang Lin looked at Zheng Yi's sister-in-law and said with a smile: "Zheng Yi's sister-in-law, you have seen so many things and said so much, you should know the purpose of this trip, why did you bring you to the Royal Academy of Sciences and the Royal Academy of Engineering?" Why do you have to shift the focus of your work and turn your invention into a result? ”

"Your Majesty, I know that it is not only to transform these inventions that benefit the country and the people into reality, which is really beneficial to the people, but also to increase the financial revenue of the imperial court, and not to focus on the people only with the eyes of finance and taxation." Zheng Yi's sister-in-law smiled and nodded, the more she talked, the more confident she became, and the more determined she became, this is the real reason why the emperor brought herself.

"Yes, that's what I meant."

After Yang Lin finished saying this, he seemed to think of something again, turned to look at Zhao Xiang, and said meaningfully: "Zhao Xiang, I remember that in this magnetoelectric conversion, there is an eddy current, and the temperature of the eddy current heating is very high, isn't it?" ”

Zhao Xiang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Yang Lin to ask this question, but he didn't panic, and then opened his mouth and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, as long as you can provide sufficient power, the more turns you can wrap around, the higher the temperature of the center of the vortex will be, and under such high temperatures, it is very suitable for smelting metals and can refine high-purity steel." ”

Obviously, Zhao Xiang had realized the intention of Yang Lin's question, so he casually said that he told about another current phenomenon, eddy current, and the high temperature it generated.

Yang Lin was very satisfied, as if reminding, and as if he was muttering to himself: "Hey~ It seems that it is very important to build a power plant, as long as there is electricity, many things can be easily solved, and it is much more convenient." ”

Immediately, without waiting for everyone to react, Yang Lin waved his hand and said loudly: "Okay, Zhao Xiang, let's not just stay here." I've heard that you've invented a lot of things in a little over a year. But let me take a good look at whether those things are worthy of the high salary I give you? Is it worth the amount of money I have invested? ”

"Okay, Your Majesty, I'll take you to see other good things, and I will never let you down~!"

Zhao Xiang agreed, and led everyone away, mighty.
