Chapter 73: Shoddy Light Bulbs

"Bright ...... Bright...... Buddha bless! Be sure to be bright! ”

Xiang Zhongtian clasped his hands together, his eyes closed, and kept thinking about the gods and Buddhas praying.

Zhao Zhen: "Zhongtian, when did you believe in Buddhism?" ”

"Didn't you believe in Buddhism?" Xiang Zhongtian was stunned by Zhao Zhen's question.

Zhao Zhen: "Then what are you doing here?" ”

"Hey, hey!" Xiang Zhongtian said with some embarrassment: "The minister is just too nervous, do you know, Your Majesty?" If we succeed in making the light bulb you are talking about, it will be a great miracle! That's right, it's a miracle! ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's bright! It's on! Chen Xinhua pulled Zhao Zhen's sleeve and called excitedly.

Zhao Zhen and Xiang Zhongtian turned their heads to see that the light bulb turned red and slowly brightened the moment Wang Shen closed the knife......

"It worked! It's a success! It worked......"

Although they have studied for more than ten years, coupled with Zhao Zhen's explanation to them before, they already know the principle of light heating and luminescence. But it's one thing to know, but it's another to actually see it born from your own hands. When the few people present saw that the light bulb was really lit up as expected, they couldn't help but hug each other and cheer enthusiastically, and Xiang Zhongtian even hugged Zhao Zhen and jumped up.

After being excited, Xiang Zhongtian found out about his abrupt move and hurriedly apologized to Zhao Zhen: "The emperor forgives him!" The emperor forgives the sins! The minister was too excited......"

"It's okay!"

Zhao Zhen tidied up the clothes that had been crumpled, and Xiang Zhongtian also carefully helped tidy them up.

However, before everyone's joy had passed, the light bulb stopped glowing after emitting a glimmer of dazzling light.

"Hey, why isn't it on?"

Wang Shenli was the first to notice the abnormality of the light bulb, so he walked over and pulled the light bulb, but there was still no response.

Li Xingxiu: "Sir, you turn off the gate knife and check the line!" Is the line not connected? ”

Wang Shenli: "Yes, yes, I'm checking it!" ”

After saying that, he went to turn off the gate knife and carefully inspected the line again.

"Still not lit?"

The gang went up to tinker for a while, but there was still no response.

Zhao Zhen suddenly noticed that there was a black block on the light bulb, and couldn't help but think of something, so he shouted at them: "Okay!" Stop tinkering with it, show me the light bulb! ”

Wang Shenli hurriedly took off the light bulb and sent it to Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty, please take a look!" ”

Zhao Zhen took the light bulb in his hand, looked carefully at the bright place, and then shook it a few times and continued to check.

Seeing this, Wang Shenli asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Did you find any problems? ”

Zhao Zhen held the light bulb in one hand, and with the other hand stretched out his finger to point at the light bulb and said to the big guy: "You all come and see, the thin tungsten filament inside the light bulb has been broken, so it can shine." ”

Subsequently, everyone looked at each other, and sure enough, as the emperor said, the tungsten wire had been broken, and it really couldn't be found if I didn't pay attention.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry! It's the minister who didn't do a good job of tungsten wire, please ask the emperor to condemn him! Chen Xinhua shrugged his head and walked up to Zhao Zhen and said.

"Don't look like this, people who don't know think I've you!" Zhao Zhen put a hand on his shoulder and said to him with a smile: "Besides, this is not necessarily a problem with the tungsten wire, maybe the whole process is not up to standard, such as the pumping is not pumped well, the sealing is not done well, etc., and even the power output of the engine is unstable, and all the details of the problem will cause the tungsten wire to be burned out in a short time." There is another problem, originally this bulb should be filled with inert gas, so that the life of tungsten filament combustion will be longer, but we have not been able to get high-purity inert gas now, so we can only use a vacuum. Therefore, you have to put more effort into perfecting the current processing technology and strive to make the bulb light up longer! ”

Wang Shenli took the lead and responded: "Yes, Emperor! Wait a little and hurry up and ponder! ”

"Hmm" Zhao Zhen bowed: "Sir, you can find a suitable place around the capital, build a small hydropower station first, and then when they are all done, I will be able to use electric lights." ”

Wang Shenli: "The emperor can rest assured! Wait for the ministers to tinker with the electric lights, and the first one will be the first to install the palace for you......"

"Minions......" Zhao Zhen waved his hand: "Don't worry about the palace first, I have another use, and when you get your things ready, I will inform you at that time." By the way, one more thing, don't forget to tinker out the transformer, you guys are lucky this time, the voltage is just enough for the lamp, otherwise you wouldn't even want to make the bulb light up today! ”

"Understood! Rest assured! Isn't the transformer just a matter of two coils, wrapped in the minister, proper! Wang Shenli patted his chest and said unashamedly.

"You kid......" Zhao Zhen pointed at him and said angrily: "Okay, go and go about your own business!" I'm going to talk to your dean about something! ”

"Congratulations to the emperor!"

Zhao Zhen left them and shook towards Yansu's astronomical observation building with his hands behind his back, Xiao Shunzi was holding a kettle in one hand and shaking a fan for him in the other, while he himself was sweating like rain, and he didn't know whether it was hot or fat.

"Look at you, I usually let you exercise with me, but you push back and forth, and now you are so fat, it is so difficult to walk, and I don't know if you will take care of me or I will take care of you in the future!" Zhao Zhen looked at his pitiful appearance, but he couldn't help but snatch the fan and shake it himself, and counted him down by the way.

Xiao Shunzi pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Your Majesty! The slave has worked hard to lose weight, but it just won't lose this fat! ”

Zhao Zhen: "Don't make excuses with me, it's not easy to work with me, you have to exercise with me every day in the future, I still don't believe that I can't get rid of the fat on your body!" ”

Xiao Shunzi could only touch her tears and admitted: "Yes, yes, yes!" ”

As he spoke, Zhao Zhen quickly walked to Yan Su's place, he gently pushed open the door, and found that Yan Su was writing and drawing on paper, and after a while, he ran to the telescope to look at it for a while, and then came back to continue painting.

"Yan Aiqing, what are you busy with?" Zhao Zhen put his head on Yan Su's table, revealing two rows of large teeth, and looked at him with a smile.

"Ahh Yan Su was suddenly startled, the pen was thrown out, and when he looked at it, it turned out that the emperor was coming, and hurriedly bypassed the table to greet him: "The emperor has arrived, and he has not greeted him from afar, and he hopes that the emperor will forgive his sins!" ”

Zhao Zhen: "No courtesy, no courtesy!" How many times have you said it, don't be so outward! ”

Yan Su: "There is a difference between the monarch and the minister, the etiquette that should be there still has to be, you are sympathetic to the minister, but the minister can't get an inch!" By the way, the emperor, why don't you send someone to inform you today, and the ministers can welcome you! ”

Zhao Zhen found a place to sit down at random, and Yan Su quickly poured him a cup of tea, and then sat down at Zhao Zhen's signal.

"Didn't I ask Wang Shen to take care of them to get a project related to electricity before, but now I'm here to see how they are doing. I thought that Yan Aiqing had less contact with electricity, and that your astronomical research was also very important, so I didn't bother you. By the way, how are you doing now? Did you find anything new? ”

Yan Su took the drawings he was drawing and spread them in front of Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty, please see, this is the trajectory of several stars that the minister is recording, and the minister plans to slowly record all the stars that can be seen, but so far the data is too little, and no rules have been sorted out." ”

Zhao Zhen looked at an image picture of various lines intermingled, and his eyes were dazzled, and he could only say that he was really not interested in this aspect, just to avoid Yan Su's excitement, and pretended to be looking very hard.

However, it didn't take long for Zhao Zhen to give up his efforts, looked up and asked: "Aiqing, when I came in just now, I saw that you were doing it alone, this is a very time-consuming and laborious project, why don't you find a few students to help, just train students!" ”

Yan Su: "Back to the emperor, the minister has found a few talented and interested children in the Royal Academy, usually they are recording, but today is not a holiday, the minister let them go home, these children study very hard for a day, and let them go back easily and easily during the holiday!" ”

Zhao Zhen nodded: "They have to be in school and here, and it is really hard to run on both sides, so let's do it, Aiqing, you can take out a little bit of the scientific research fund and send it to them, just as the salary for them to work here." ”

Yan Su: "Yes, Your Majesty!" On behalf of them, thank the emperor for his love! ”

Love! You have to love it! They are the capital of their own "misdeeds" in the future, and they must buy people's hearts in place.

Zhao Zhen said in an old-fashioned manner: "Young people are the future of the country, I must care more!" ”

Yan Su smiled and said, "Your Majesty, look at what you said, you are still very young!" By the way, do you have something to do with your minister's search today? ”

Zhao Zhen: "Don't hide it from Aiqing, I'm really a bit of a problem." Yes, I plan to build a road to Xijing Luoyang, but this road is different from the kind of road that is being built now, but a new road. This road has relatively high requirements for the roadbed, requiring the overall smoothness of the road surface, and the curvature can not be large, and the specific parameters need to be tested by Aiqing himself......"

"Wait! Your Majesty, you should remember it! Yan Su hurriedly took out the booklet he was carrying and spread it on the table: "Your Majesty, see if you can be more specific, and the minister will write it down." ”

"Bring me the pen, I'll give you a gesture!"

Zhao Zhen took his pen and drew in the booklet and said, "Aiqing, didn't I let you tinker with the steam engine before!" After their efforts during this time, the materials and processes have been greatly improved, and it must not be far from practicality. So, I have to plan ahead so that I don't waste time, don't I? The road I had asked Aiqing to build was for it, and it was to be made up of two tracks made of steel, on which a large cart would run with a number of carriage-like carriages, and the steam engine would use to pull its head. If I say that, can Aiqing imagine it? ”

Yan Su shook his head and said apologetically: "The emperor forgives his sins!" I really can't imagine the big car you said, if it is really according to what you said, how big this car can be! Can a steam engine pull? ”

Zhao Zhen: "Don't worry about this question Aiqing, I said it's okay, then it's absolutely fine!" You see, I drew a simple diagram, and it's much more intuitive for you to see it this way. Aiqing, what you have to do now is to lead everyone to determine the height and width of the car, and then make the model of the car and track, and then use this to find the parameters of road construction, mainly the problem of curvature and slope. After that, Aiqing still has to complete the road survey task, and I think about it, only Aiqing's school time is the most suitable to do this! ”

Yan Su: "The emperor's words make the old minister embarrassed!" There are too many new things in your mind, and the old minister can't keep up with the rhythm, so the minister can only do his best, and if he is uncomfortable, he hopes that the saint will forgive his sins! ”

"Haha......" Zhao Zhen smiled: "Aiqing, this is a joke, if you are so knowledgeable and learned, who else can I find!" ”

After arranging the work, Zhao Zhen became the shopkeeper again, and continued to go back to play the role of the emperor. (To be continued.) )
