Chapter 264: The Cult of Science
'Hmm.... Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info', Li Chen stretched his waist greatly, 'It's so comfortable, I haven't slept so comfortably for a long time.' Li Chen got up and said to himself, but soon he came back to his senses, "Where is this?" I remember.... ’
Li Chen looked around a little and realized that this was not his bedroom. This is a very traditional Japanese-style, or early Tang Dynasty bedroom, with tatami mats on the floor. There are several cabinets against the wall, a low table by the window, and a few ink paintings hanging on the wall.
Where is it? Li Chen thought about it carefully, he remembered that he was talking to Yang Er and his housekeeper Fu Bai, what he said, he couldn't remember it clearly, but it didn't matter, by the way, he seemed to be drunk, this should be the Yang family's guest room.
'Ah, you're awake. At this time, the paper door of the Japanese style was opened, and a woman walked in, Li Chen turned his head a little expectantly, it was not Xiaohong, it was Green Lotus, and Yang Er was followed by him.
I'm so sorry to get drunk. Li Chen remembered the wine entertained by the Yang family, it was very delicious, and he poured it as juice for a while.
"It doesn't matter, this wine is made of osmanthus, and it is known for its strength in the future, but this wine is good, and it won't go up when you wake up." Yang Er said. 'What time is it now?' ''Li Jun, you haven't slept for long, and it's only afternoon.''
Yang Er knelt next to Li Chen, took the hot towel handed by Lu He, and handed it to Li Chen, Li Chen took it and wiped his face, "Since it's not too early, I'll take the children back." "Don't worry, I've already asked someone to prepare dinner, let's go after eating." Since they had all bothered about lunch, Li Chen had dinner here again before taking the children back.
'Uncle, tell us. Although he fell asleep drunk all afternoon, and delayed going to other places to pay New Year's greetings, there was nothing to do during the New Year's period anyway, and he didn't go today, and he could go another day.
On the way back, Li Chen was riding on a donkey and humming a song, a group of children were chattering in the car, Li Chen didn't ask what they were talking about, but when he rode Amao's car, he saw Li Chen and quickly asked.
"What kind of method did that fake Taoist priest use, it was obviously a piece of paper, why would a knife turn red when he stabbed it in?" ’
'What do you say?' Not only Ah Mao wanted to ask, but the car's return also looked at Li Chen, "I want to talk about capillary phenomenon, but that's not right." Ah Mao scratched his hair in distress, "Actually, the answer is very simple. ’
There's something wrong with that knife, it looks like it's just an ordinary knife, but there's a notch on it, and you can put red paint into it, so that when the knife stabs in, it will naturally turn red. Li Chen was puzzled, and they had been pestering him since last night, asking him to explain that immeasurable trick. Li Chen is still the same as usual, let them think for themselves first, and then answer them last.
"Uncle, I just ha...", hearing the answer, Ah Mao smiled and told Li Chen the interesting things he had just heard when he was playing at Yang's house, "Uncle, you really scared them all." ’
I've heard a lot of people say that my uncle only joined the WTO after cultivating in the mountains for a hundred years, and he is 200 years old this year, and he looks like he is only in his thirties. "What kind of cultivation for a hundred years, people say that Uncle is a god in the sky, otherwise how to attract thunder and lightning, and I heard that someone wants to build a temple to worship you." A group of children chattered, exchanging news from the street when they were playing in Yang's Mansion today.
That false Taoist priest, I heard that he still can't get out of bed, and people say that he will die soon. Everyone was laughing at him, saying that the fake fairy met the real fairy today. ''Doesn't he say he's crazy?'' The crazy six relatives don't recognize it? ''Does he have six relatives?'' ''Anyway, it's so crazy that no one can recognize it.'' ’
They are so envious of us. Suddenly, one of the children changed his words, "They all envy us and say that we have been adopted by the gods." The boy said a little smugly, 'They envy us to death.' ’
'Then will we also be immortals in the future?' ''Fool, how can there be immortals in this world, Uncle has taught us how to generate electricity.'' "Yes, yes, they are so stupid, how can Uncle attract any thunder and lightning." ''It's all natural phenomena, and there are no gods and monsters in this world.'' Everything is science', in the past few days, Li Chen has raised this group of children with a sense of superiority, from the original fear to now becoming an admirer of science.
In fact, it is not difficult to attract thunder and lightning at all. The principle of the generator is to cut the magnetic circle, and the magnetic field will produce magnetic force when the magnetic field changes. With the craftsmanship of the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty, it is still possible to build a small generator according to the drawings given by Li Chen, but it is still possible to need money, not to spend a lot of money, and the craftsmen are not willing to do this kind of seemingly inexplicable thing.
Then that day the fake Taoist priest was not called with a generator, of course, to call him. Li Chen uses a battery, and the principle of the battery is a lead plate and a piece of lead dioxide, immersed in concentrated sulfuric acid, and a partition to prevent short circuit is added in the middle, and it is completed. Although the principle is simple, it is easy to use, and a century after its invention, it is still in common use.
Isn't it simple? Although it was not until the 19th century that the lead-acid battery was invented, it was either the process technology that limited its appearance, or whether it was known or not. Of course, if you want to climb the tech tree from scratch, it takes a lot of work. But Li Chen is not stupid, just know how to use it, climb the technology tree, and understand the principle? Let those who have leisure go and play slowly.
As for you saying that there was no sulfuric acid in ancient times? That's not a problem at all, okay, this kind of thing is simpler, in fact, as early as the early Tang Dynasty, the Chinese have long known how to extract sulfuric acid, and they knew it in the Tang Gaoyuan period, which can be obtained by distilling stone gall. When all obstacles are no longer a problem, it's just an idea.
With a generator and a battery, it was easy for Li Chen to take them to do some electricity experiments. Li Chen no longer has to take the road taken by his predecessors, in order to prove that the electricity in this world is the same, especially when flying kites on rainy days and attracting thunder.
Speaking of which, Franklin was really lucky. It should be said that people with great achievements have great luck? Although I don't know how many predecessors have done experiments like him to attract lightning, but he succeeded.
The public experiment again can be successful and make him famous. After that, I don't know how many people tried to replicate this experiment, but they all failed, and they were electrocuted. Now that we have a generator, we can experiment with it, even if the power is a little worse.
That's why there is something to attract thunder and lightning, the two wires touched Li Chen's hand, sparks flew everywhere, and then give the fake Taoist priest a moment, let him enjoy the taste of thunder and thunder in the sky, and stop coming out to deceive.
As for him being crazy, or not being able to get out of bed, it was purely because he was scared, Li Chen didn't really want to electrocute him. (To be continued.) )
