Zhang Xianyong showed the experiment that glass rods can adsorb each other after rubbing against each other in the main hall.

After that, anyone who has the ability and can afford to buy a glass rod unconsciously experiments with this seemingly very unimaginable thing.

It can be said that there is a gust of experimental wind blowing in the whole city of Beijing.

As the weather gradually gets colder and the dry season comes, people gradually wear sweaters. For this kind of thing that can be experienced by oneself, it is no longer difficult to understand him, and the problem of electricity has gradually been accepted by the world.

The bright sparks in the darkness and the sound of "popping" are a good verification of what Zhang Xianyong said, these sparks rubbed out are the same as the thunder and lightning in the sky, but the size is different.

……

The largest scale of the experiment belongs to Zhang Xianyong.

He experimented with everything that could be triboelectric in an exhaustive way, hoping to find a larger, more and more coherent electricity that could be rubbed together. I also hope to find a way to store electricity.

Because after the glass and silk are rubbed, the glass rod will be electrified; Because when the fur rubs against the rosin stick, it will carry another kind of electricity. Therefore, Zhang Xianyong pinned his hopes on this to a large extent.

A device was created that rubbed the glass rod with silk and the rosin stick with the fur.

Zhang Xianyong felt that he had found something that could produce electricity more sustainably, and decided to show him to the emperor.

……

Qianqing Palace.

Recently, Yang Reform has been mainly busy with the cement factory, and he is also paying attention to the military trends outside the Guan, of course, he is also paying attention to the electrostatic experiments that are now popular throughout Beijing, and he is also paying more attention to the development of the new granary Liaodong. Several other granaries such as Ryukyu, Dongting Lake, Poyang Lake, etc. have gradually been on the right track, but there is no need to worry too much. Only the newly developed Liaodong, Yang Reform is a little uneasy.

looked at the report sent by Sun Chengzong.

Yang Reform is still relatively gratifying, this year did not spend so much money in vain, and the sweet potatoes planted this year have a bumper harvest in sight.

“…… The situation in Liaodong this year looks good......" Yang Gengai read Sun Chengzong's report and said happily.

"It's all Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen slapped a sycophant.

Yang Gai smiled and put away Sun Chengzong's recital.

This year is the first year of large-scale development, and Yang's reform is mainly based on planting sweet potatoes, supplemented by other grain crops, to lay the foundation for next year's larger-scale development.

“…… Companion, bring me those things from me...... "Yang Reform has finished his business and is ready to spare some spare time to do other things.

As for what to do? Of course, it is to "play" the most fashionable "electricity" experiment at the moment.

After Zhang Xianyong performed in the court, this kind of friction and electric "spell" immediately swept the whole world, Yang Reform is of course no exception, and he is also playing this trick, of course, Yang Reform is playing more advanced, others are still playing with silk rubbing glass rods, he is already playing with electrostatic electrostatics.

"Slave maid, this will ......be taken for Your Majesty," Wang Chengen agreed.

After a while, Yang Reform's "toy" was taken.

It's actually an electrical appliance.

Two discs with metal foil attached to them......

Yang Gai is preparing to start improving this electrical appliance. I heard Wang Chengen's report: "Your Majesty, Zhengyi real person Zhang Xianyong asks to see." ”

"Oh, he's coming, see you!" Yang Gengai put down the work at hand and prepared to see Zhang Xianyong first.

……

After a while, Zhang Xianyong arrived.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Xianyong saluted with joy on his face.

"Excuse me, seeing the Qing family so happy today, presumably, there is a big harvest......" Yang Gengai asked. Seeing Zhang Xianyong's happy face, Yang Reform didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Yang Reform was also very depressed, why did others start directly from the generator and directly go to the hydroelectric generator when they engaged in science and technology, and they had to start from the Leiden bottle and the friction electricity? This is simply more than a grade off, and Yang Gai secretly sighed that his life was miserable. …,

"Back to Your Majesty, thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, the minister has finally made progress...... Zhang Xianyong said quite happily.

"Oh, what's the progress?" Yang asked Gengai. Although there has been progress, Yang Reform is still quite depressed, this technology tree has only climbed to the stage of electrostatic starter, even if there can be any progress, how good can it be? It's nothing more than going around in the circle of static electricity, and there is still a 108,000-mile way to go with industrialized and practical electricity.

"Back to Your Majesty! Thanks to His Majesty's blessing and the efforts of the ministers, the discharge can finally be clearer, and the discharge is no longer unpredictable, but can be continuously ......," Zhang Xianyong said excitedly.

"Oh, is it? Then don't you take a look at it......" Yang Gai said pretending to be a little happy. It's not that Yang Reform doesn't want to be happy, but he really can't be happy, and there is still too long to go on this road.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Xianyong agreed.

After a while, Zhang Xianyong's things were brought in.

This is a triboelectric device. Divided into two parts, each has a large seat, and there is a piece of something on the seat, Yang Reform can see at a glance, one is glass rubbing silk, the other is rosin rubbing the fur ......, and then there are copper wires on the silk and fur, and the copper wires are close to each other, it seems that this is ready to do a discharge experiment......

Yang Reform saw that. An enlarged version of the glass rod friction energized plus the rosin stick frictional energized......

"Your Majesty, please allow the minister to show ...... for Your Majesty" Zhang Xianyong said happily, after such a long time of busy work, he finally has a way to continue to power up.

Yang Reform didn't speak, just raised his hand and let Zhang Xianyong do it himself.

Zhang Xianyong was so happy that he began to use the device. Stepping on two seats with his feet, holding a handle in one hand, he began to lift and rub the two electric devices up and down, one side was lifting up and down the glass, and the other side was a rosin block that was lifted up and down.

Yang Reform looked at it, this is very funny...... I want to laugh, but I can't laugh, I am too low, Yang Reform has been thinking about whether to give Zhang Xianyong more fulcrums, lest he has been spinning in this "low-level" level, and now Yang Reform has seen Zhang Xianyong's "progress", Yang Reform feels that it is necessary to overtake the progress.

Zhang Xianyong rubbed the two energizing devices with both hands at the same time, this effect, not to mention, there is, the place where the two copper wires are close to each other, it seems to be faintly visible, there is a "pop" sound, it seems to be discharged......

Yang Reform looked at that ......

Zhang Xianyong was busy for a long time, and when he saw the two copper wires, he seemed to have a discharge phenomenon, so he stopped.

“…… Qiyu, Qiyu Your Majesty ......, this, this is the latest achievement of the minister, with ,...... In this way, you can ,...... More electrical ,...... can be rubbed out Root ......, this, what if...... It is even more obvious when you look at it at night,...... It's not conspicuous during the day......" Zhang Xianyong stammered.

"Not bad, not bad......" Yang Reform nodded, looking at Zhang Xianyong pulling the two electric devices so hard, Yang Reform was not easy to pour Zhang Xianyong's cold water.

"Your Majesty Xie's praise......" Zhang Xianyong was busy for a while, and received a compliment from the emperor, and finally he was not busy in vain.

Yang Reform praised Zhang Xianyong slightly. Regarding the power starting device, Yang Reform is ready to do it himself, if this matter is let Zhang Xianyong ponder slowly, I am afraid that there will be too much progress in a hundred years.

"By the way, what progress has the Qing family made on how to distinguish between yin and yang?" Yang asked another question, that is, the question of determining the positive and negative of electricity.

The friction between different materials will have different charging effects, and the friction of different materials on the same kind of object will also give different charging effects, which shows that different objects have different binding abilities to electrons, and the charging will be different under different conditions. …,

This is a profound concept for the current Ming Dynasty, and it may be difficult to understand, but this kind of large-scale experiment is an indispensable step, which is very helpful for further understanding the performance of electricity.

Of course, Yang did not expect to discover any electrons, nuclei or the like, but just wanted to provide the necessary theoretical support for his next step. Although Yang Reform wants to develop by leaps and bounds, this road still has to be done step by step.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent, at present, I still haven't found out how to distinguish between yin and yang, I can only know that between the two, there is a yang electricity and the other is yin electricity,......" Zhang Xianyong said this, and he was more depressed, originally thought that he would soon find out the difference between yin and yang, but until now, he has not found a way.

“…… However, Chen also found an interesting thing...... "Zhang Xianyong has also done so many experiments on electricity, and finally found something interesting, and it is not for nothing."

"Oh, tell me about ......," Yang said.

“…… Your Majesty, that's the case, it stands to reason that the glass rod rubbed with silk touches the rosin stick rubbed with fur, and the two are to be attracted, because one yang and one yin are ......, but Chen found that after rubbing the glass rod with fur, the glass rod and the rosin stick are mutually exclusive,...... "Zhang Xianyong also said suspiciously.

"Oh, so what does that mean?" Yang Reform asked, although Yang Reform came from the later generations, but in fact, he had already returned things to the teacher, and there were only some common sense things left for the knowledge of electricity, such as not touching the wires ......, other positive and negative electricity problems, and what electron nucleus strength and weakness problems, all of which were slim......

“…… Your Majesty, this shows that according to the principle that yin and yang attract, either both have yang electricity, or both have yin ......electricity, otherwise, there will be no expulsion between the two...... Zhang Xianyong said strangely.

"Well, this makes sense...... Yang Reform thought about it and said, in fact, Yang Reform at this time didn't know whether this was the case or not, but based on feeling, since Zhang Xianyong was so sure of this matter, it was basically this matter.

“…… Your Majesty, later, the minister rubbed the glass rod with other things, and found that after the glass rod rubbed with the rosin, the glass rod and the rosin stick rubbed by the fur attracted each other......" Zhang Xianyong said the strange thing he encountered.

Yang Reform has begun to get dizzy, what is this! It's really not that simple to engage in science and technology, and if you don't do it yourself, you can't understand these phenomena at all.

"This ...... It is really interesting, that is, when the same thing is rubbed by different things, the electricity it carries is different? Yang said intuitively.

"Back to Your Majesty, exactly, the minister is also curious...... why such a strange thing happened, the minister has recorded this situation, and according to the different parts that are charged after friction, a table is arranged, Your Majesty, this thing in the front, rubbing the things in the back is arranged after the things, if the one in front is charged with yang, then the one behind is charged,...... If the things in front of you rub against the two things in the back, then the back ones are all negatively charged, because the front ones have to be yang, so when the two things in the back are close to each other, they will repel ......" Zhang Xianyong said seriously.

Yang Reform is dizzy and big-headed, Yang Reform has been dizzy by Zhang Xianyong. What is it and what is it......

Yang Gai thought about it for a long time, and finally raised a little eyebrows, and said, "The Qing family said that the fur is in front of the glass and rosin?" Therefore, when the fur rubs the glass and rosin, the fur in the front is with a yang electricity, and the back is with a yang electricity, and the yin and yang are attracted to each other, so the glass rod rubbed by the fur and the rosin rubbed by the fur are both with a negative charge? ”…,

Yang Reform finally figured out some clues and said with difficulty.

"Back to Your Majesty, it is ......, the minister thinks, although it is impossible to determine what is yang electricity, what is yin electricity, but it is also an interesting thing, if it can be classified as yang electricity by rubbing the things in the front of the arrangement, then rubbing out of the things in the back can be designated as yin electricity...... different objects and different objects rubbing, some can have yang electricity, some can have yin electricity, and so on......" Zhang Xianyong shook his head and said.

Yang reformed that dizzy, what a shallow knowledge, he was so vague.

"This, this matter, let's talk about it later, if the Qing family finds it convenient, you might as well ......divide it like this first," Yang Gengai said dizzily, participating in scientific research and refining theories is indeed not an easy task, and the head has to be logically burned.

"Command!" Zhang Xianyong said.

"By the way, what about the table that is lined up? Can you bring? Yang Reform asked, although this is not a big discovery, but it is definitely an unfilial progress, Yang Reform who is crawling in the static pile will not dislike this progress.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister brought ......" Zhang Xianyong seemed to wake up all of a sudden, said, and then sent what he brought.

Wang Chengen took it and transferred it to the emperor.

Yang Gengai looked through it, and it did list the electrification of various substances, and arranged them in an order according to the different charges. Yang Gai took a look. The fur is larger than the glass, the glass is larger than the silk, and then there is a wooden strip and a rosin ......, a very interesting arrangement.

"It's really interesting...... Yang Reform looked at it for a while and said, seeing this, Yang Reform remembered some eyebrows.

“…… In other words, the electric thing of the Qing family does not necessarily have to rub the glass against the silk, nor does it necessarily have to rub the rosin with the fur, right? Yang reformed and said.

"Back to Your Majesty, yes, as long as two things with different arrangements rub off, electricity can be generated, but the strength of electricity ......, it doesn't have to be glass to rub silk, and it doesn't have to be a sweater to verify the electric ......" Zhang Xianyong said extremely happily, according to the conclusion he has reached now, he can finally let go of the dilemma of experimenting with people, because if the production of electricity cannot be separated from people, he will not be able to make much progress, because there is no person for him to rub for a quarter of an hour without stopping.

“…… There is electricity, there is electricity......" Yang Reform was impressed by Zhang Xianyong, but he didn't expect that after Zhang Xianyong did this business, his thinking ability increased greatly.

“…… So what are you going to do next? Yang Reform asked with interest, Yang Reform remembered that the two discs he made were not static electric motors? Although Zhang Xianyong is still rubbing glass with silk, it is still quite a "primitive" means, but Zhang Xianyong is constantly improving. I didn't use silk or fur for the disc motor......

Thinking of this, Yang Gengai realized that once the seeds of science and technology are planted and flourish, they do not necessarily need to move the boulders for these seeds to provide growth space, and the seeds of science can open the boulders by themselves.

"Back to Your Majesty, the next step is to use other things to make electric things, no longer use this bulky and friction-resistant thing............ this silk and fur rubbed too much, there will be a danger of ignition, it is still quite dangerous, it is impossible to rub electricity all the time," Zhang Xianyong said excitedly.

"......" Yang Reform was speechless for a while, he was still worried that Zhang Xianyong's progress was too slow, and he also laughed at Zhang Xianyong's methods for being too primitive, but now it seems that it may not be.

"It makes sense, the Qing family got to the point, always rubbing silk and fur, it is indeed impossible to supply power for a long time, sooner or later you have to find that durable thing to replace ......, I also heard that the Qing family found a lot of people wearing sweaters to rub electricity, I heard, and used a lot of ice cellars? Is there such a thing? Yang Gengai sighed a little, and asked about this matter again, which is now half of the "laughing stock" of Beijing. …,

Zhang Xianyong's shame, he can't do this because he can't do this, it is enough to make people laugh at the friction of cotton clothes on a hot day.

"Back to Your Majesty, it won't be now, and the minister won't use his body to rub the electricity anymore......" Zhang Xianyong hurriedly said.

“…… Well, I really hope that the Qing family can find a better way to power up more durably......" Yang said with a smile.

"Your Majesty will not be disappointed." Zhang Xianyong immediately said with great interest, breaking away from the human body, silk and fur electricity, is a big breakthrough for him to make electricity for a longer time.

……

Zhang Xianyong left, watching Zhang Xianyong go, Yang Reform was slightly disappointed. Thinking that in the past, Zhang Xianyong would definitely ask himself to ask for a "cheats" or something before he was willing to go, but today, Zhang Xianyong left with great interest, and he didn't ask himself for "cheats" at all.

Zhang Xianyong left, Yang Reform took out his own "toy" again, two discs made of starting motors, this kind of thing, in fact, only appeared in the nineteenth century, Yang Reform is still hesitating, whether to tell Zhang Xianyong, but now, Zhang Xianyong has been able to "evolve" to this point, began to seek a strong and durable electric material ......, isn't this his own starting motor?

Yang Gengai thought for a while, then dismantled the thing and threw it into his "toy box". This thing, let's leave it to Zhang Xianyong to do, I don't necessarily need to interfere too much in this matter.

Yang Reform is thinking about the problem.

Wang Chengenyu reported: "Your Majesty, Yan Shenggong asks to see you. ”

"Yan Shenggong? Kong Yinzhi? Yang Reform's brain was half ringing before he remembered who this was, and felt strange, what was Kong Yinzhi doing here? Could it be that Zhang Xianyong is too prosperous to see that his heart is unbalanced?

"Your Majesty, exactly!" Wang Chengen agreed affirmatively.

"See you!" Yang Reform didn't think much about it, and said immediately.

"Slave obeys!" Wang Chengen agreed, and then went to do something.

After a while, Kong Yinzhi arrived.

"Your Majesty!" Kong Yinzhi is respectful, and he is still meticulous.

"No courtesy, sit down......" Yang Gengai motioned for Kong Yinzhi to sit down.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Kong Yinzhi sat down in a proper manner.

Yang Gengai observed Kong Yinzhi, and saw a lot of things from Kong Yinzhi's eyes, Kong Yinzhi's eyes were most respectful and cautious, but there was some confusion, incomprehension, fear, panic, and even dissatisfaction.

What is in a person's heart can be revealed through the eyes, and even those who can hide it will more or less miss some of it.

"The Qing family came to see me, but is there something wrong?" Yang Gengai asked, seeing clearly what was in Kong Yinzhi's eyes, Yang Gengai already had a rough idea of what Kong Yinzhi was thinking.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has puzzles, and I hope Your Majesty will not hesitate to explain ......" Kong Yinzhi said cautiously and respectfully.

"Oh, what's the puzzling? The Qing family might as well come and take a look......" Yang Reform asked, looking at this cautious Kong Yinzhi, Yang Reform had already seen his heart through his epidermis.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's like this, the recent demonstration of electricity in the capital is booming, and the minister is puzzled, is this matter a good thing or a bad thing for Daming? Isn't this too bizarre, is it worth immersing my head in it? Kong Yinzhi still spoke cautiously, but there was a lot of thorns in these words.

Hearing this, Yang Reform's first feeling was that there were bones.

Isn't Kong Yinzhi a soft bone? How do you feel such a thing as bones in his words now? Thinking about it, I immediately understood that the Ming Dynasty was engaged in "scientific research", and the stubborn forces that were old and young and unwilling to make progress would definitely rebound, and this Kong Yinzhi was probably a flagpole they raised again.

"That's right! Then I asked the Qing family, what does the Qing family think about this matter? Yang Gengai figured out Kong Yinzhi's intention, and asked with a smile, Kong Yinzhi is passing pressure and dissatisfaction to himself again, the pressure is those conservative forces, and the dissatisfaction is only from himself. …,

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter may be intentional, Zhang Zhenren's spell may be really exquisite, but the minister thinks that the plaything must not be discouraged, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces have not entered it and cannot extricate themselves, Your Majesty, this is ......" Kong Yinzhi said.

"Well, what the Qing family said is still reasonable, indeed, the courtiers should have the appearance of courtiers, it is indeed not easy to participate in too many of these things, these things, it is better to hand them over to Zhang Zhenren and hand them over to Yousi to do, of course, for these fresh foods, the ministers must also know about it, otherwise, they can't keep up with the times!" Yang Reform said that today's Yang Reform does not have to compromise with others everywhere, but can let others compromise with himself, and his ability is different, and his attitude is different.

"Your Majesty is reasonable...... Kong Yinzhi immediately said, the emperor seems to have made concessions, but in fact, there is no concession at all, those playthings that are demoralized, those things that are harmful to his Confucianism, will still be popular, and he Kong Yinzhi can't prevent these things from happening. Now the reputation of Taoist Zhang Xianyong, who is chasing the saint, has a huge reputation in the government and the opposition, and it is not so easy to deal with Zhang Xianyong, not to mention that there is an emperor standing behind him.

"The Qing family came here today for this?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has something to ask Your Majesty for advice today......" After saying this somewhat unpleasant thing, Zhang Xianyong quickly corrected his attitude and was ready to talk about his own business.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Your Majesty, the minister has been guided by His Majesty before, and has learned a lot from the four words of people's livelihood and civil rights, and now I still want to ask Your Majesty, what else does the minister need to understand?" Kong Yinzhi asked, what he is talking about now is his own business, the emperor promised him to become a saint, but I saw Zhang Xianyong getting more and more beautiful, getting closer and closer to the saint, but he, a descendant of the saint, Yan Shenggong, seems to have no movement, but has the meaning of being suppressed by Zhang Xianyong, not only did he not move towards the saint, but it made people feel that even the Confucian family, even Confucianism was suppressed by Zhang Xianyong, but it was even farther away from the saint, Kong Yinzhi felt afraid, not only afraid that the emperor promised his saint that there was no shadow, On the contrary, the position of the saint of his family is also dangerous, and the position of his Confucian family is also dangerous.

"This ......," Yang pondered. It's not that he doesn't understand what Kong Yinzhi wants, it's not that he doesn't understand what Kong Yinzhi thinks in his heart. In fact, Yang Reform has designed a way for Kong Yinzhi, but it is by no means convenient to say now, confess to Kong Yinzhi, you have to repair the altar to say, now, you really can't give Kong Yinzhi a thorough understanding, otherwise, this person is too talkative, I am afraid that it will affect the construction of the altar.

Yang Gengai thought about it, and already knew in his heart that it was not suitable to confess to Kong Yinzhi at this time, and he had to be fooled by him for a while.
