Electricity is a problem that Yang Yuanzhao has always considered, and from the 21st century, he did not bring a generator, which is the only regret. The application of electricity in many aspects is very prominent, fortunately, this is 1908, the dawn of electricity, has shone in the whole world, in the United States, Europe, electricity has begun to gradually enter thousands of households, this era of China, also has electricity.

As early as 20 years ago, in 1882, the British established the Shanghai Electric Light Company in Shanghai, from the early arc lamp, to the later neon light, the lights almost illuminated the night of Shanghai, and the nightlife of Shanghai began to become more and more mysterious and charming.

When he went to Shanghai last month, Yang Yuanzhao came into contact with Shanghai's electricity, and under the introduction of Harpy, in the name of study, he visited Shanghai's power plant and Dianguang Company, and copied Shanghai's generator, which is not very powerful.

Direct current, this is the mainstream of this era, alternating current has come out, it was invented by the great inventor Truss, but unfortunately at this time, he is still just an ordinary engineer, facing the vested interests of direct current Edison, his alternating current invention, facing the difficulty of promotion, and even the threat of suppression, at this time, he should be the most difficult moment.

Baotou needs more scientists, this time, to raise funds from Shanghai, and even under very difficult circumstances, buy Blackstone, and use an all-in-one machine to refine pure tungsten powder, just to raise more funds, part of these funds will be used to send students overseas, part will be used to introduce advanced equipment, but more, will be used to recruit personnel.

China has lagged behind this era, especially in the development of science and technology, and today, with the rapid development of science and technology, China is lagging behind the world in many aspects of science and technology.

Yang Yuanzhao came from later generations and understood many directions for the development of science and technology, but China, which is weak, does not even have the ability to conduct basic research for the time being, and this must be imported from abroad.

silently added Truss's name to the invitation list, and recalled as much as possible that in this era, inventors who have not yet become famous, and in the end, there are only a few names that are written down.

Thoughts, once again back to the decoration of the house, DC to AC, this is not difficult to solve, from the later generations to bring the mobile phone charger, is AC to DC, a little research, reverse the process, and increase the capacitor voltage, reluctantly made, about 220 volts AC, and then calculate the power consumption of the whole house, air conditioning and refrigerator, is a large power consumer, it is summer soon, this voltage must be guaranteed, fortunately, there is an all-in-one storage zài, big deal, Let the installed capacity be larger, how to say, this is ordinary residential electricity, it costs a little more, what, he is not ready to popularize electricity in Baotou for the time being, that is a matter of the future, perhaps, wait until the inventor Truss is really recruited.

AC and DC converter, after several real years, so that the entire capacity can support the whole home of the Cheng dù, the air conditioner is a special line, there is a generator, to supply power to him, after doing this qiē, it is considered interior design, in different places indoors, arrange wires, lights, electrical box sockets, most of the things in it, are brought from the afterlife, there is a template, with the help of the all-in-one machine, copied out.

Early the next morning, Yang Yuanzhao began the work of wiring, the wires are ready-made, and found a few craftsmen, as well as those servants, yesterday's incentives, plus the sumptuous food, so that they are very motivated, Yang Yuanzhao stared at one house after another, watching them put the wires and sockets, one by one in place, three large yards, residences, plus maids' rooms, more than 25 houses, just the wires used thousands of meters, in order to avoid rework, but also for the sake of beauty, in each room, Yang Yuanzhao left seven or eight bolts, Yang Yuanzhao Now, it is unlikely that every room will be equipped with air conditioning, this electricity can't withstand it, but it's still possible to install an electric fan.

At that time, it was brought over by the all-in-one machine, and there was an electric fan in the living room, only half, the most complete motor and control device, with the help of this, Yang Yuanzhao reluctantly made zuò out of the ceiling fan and floor fan, for the summer can only resist, the summer temperature is not high compared to the later generations of this era, the electric fan is enough, no fan fan, the automatic gentle breeze, will make this hot weather, become very comfortable.

The generator was arranged 500 meters away, the house where he lived, not too far from the outside of the town, 500 meters away, just a piece of farmland, spent a certain price, after buying an acre of land, surrounded by bricks, it is considered a power plant, currently placed 5 generators, the daily production of electricity is about 3600 kilowatts.

3600 kilowatts, it seems a lot, but when converted into the degree commonly used in later generations, one kilowatt-hour is equal to one kilowatt-hour of electricity, 24 hours a day, the daily electricity is about 150 degrees, basically enough to drive more than a dozen fans, dozens of energy-saving lamps, as well as two air conditioners and a refrigerator.

In this era, the installed kilowatts of electricity are not large, and the common millions, or even tens of millions of kilowatts of thermal power stations in later generations, as well as the famous Three Gorges Project, in 1908, are just a myth, but Yang Yuanzhao copied the 18,000 horsepower cruiser engine, which is the largest steam engine he has been able to find so far, used as the power of the generator, and the overall power will rise to a satisfactory degree, but this requires an electric power expert to modify these.

Yang Yuanzhao is very clear that the most suitable for power generation should be the steam turbine, thermal efficiency, much higher than the steam engine, if coupled with turbocharging, the heat utilization ratio, will be many times higher than the ordinary steam engine, Yang Yuanzhao knows some turbine engines and turbocharging theory, materials are a key, even if there is an all-in-one machine, but the materials he can use are more collected from the BMW 999 engine, and the performance indicators of large turbocharging, not particularly consistent, eagerly, It is better to use a full-fledged steam engine that has been tested in real combat and for decades.

The weather around mid-May, Baotou here, has been warmed up, after a day of tiredness, almost everyone sweats, in the special bathhouse bath, the hot water, do not have to burn themselves, to mention, many slaves in the private discussion, Yang Yuanzhao has a very high status, specially made zuò out of the furnace, because of the good sealing, in the hot water at the same time, the thermal effect is also very high, greatly saving coal, this is also another focus of discussion.

At night, today is a month of dark weather, and a large group of dark clouds, only more than 7 o'clock, the sky is completely dark, under the leadership of Sun Fusheng, the servants turned on the lights in the yard, in the dark night, the lights appear so bright, Yang Yuanzhao did not stingy with electricity, directly illuminated all the yards, especially at the front, several 100 watt energy-saving lamps, the yard is illuminated as if it were day.

Sun Fusheng and many servants all felt numb, this master, it seems, is really not simple, the night is as bright as day, and there are those machines that will automatically blow the air, a few young people, almost all night sleep, they are all studying, why does this fan turn, Yang Yuanzhao repeatedly warned, they will not touch the socket casually, let alone touch the fan blades that are covered, but sitting in front of the fan, feeling the wind blowing slowly from the fan, discussing the principle of this fan is still okay.

There are different opinions, some say that it is a spell, and say that it is a Western thing, and some say that it is auspicious, in short, it is unthinkable, but there is one thing, which is recognized by everyone, they came to the right place, where there are people, and they are so good to ordinary servants, and unconsciously, people's hearts are so gathered.

Yang Yuanzhao's house, after the electricity was connected, began to be completed at the fastest speed, and at this time, the reclamation company also ushered in a new round of busyness, and the day of cotton transplantation finally came.
