Chapter 347: Daming Electric
The action was fast, Ruan Quang Binh didn't think much about it... After all, the footsteps of the Ming army can be said to be getting closer and closer to them, and a large number of Tusi tribes have lost their determination to resist the Ming Dynasty.
They began to flee one after another, and most of them chose to flee to the west.
Nguyen Quang Binh knew those places, compared to Annan.
It could be said that it was a more barren and inhospitable place, but he also knew that when the war began, the fate of the loser was often not something that people cared about.
Winner, take it all!
.....
"It's lit! It's lit up! ”
"That's right! The light bulb really comes on! ”
Daming Shuntianfu.
A group of researchers at the Royal Academy of Sciences were cheering happily around a small light bulb.
It took them a long time to invent the electric light technology recorded in the technical books from scratch.
On the other side, a researcher was looking at everyone with a bitter face, and then said, "Don't just look at the light bulbs!" Look at me... Who designed this power generation device, it's too arbitrary... I'm going to be kicked to death."
"Oops! Xiao Li! You can't let it up! I'll go back and say to the kitchen master.. Today I will give you a special chicken stew to make up for it, and as for now, stick to it first! ”
"Ahh Director... All right! I'll just keep pedaling! ”
The light on of the light bulb and the simple power generation structure worked normally, and it was like a stimulant for everyone present.
This means that electricity really exists and can be harnessed.
In the days that followed.
The researchers of the Daming Royal Academy of Sciences have been working non-stop, uniting all the talents they can find in Beijing to develop and produce the most important part of the book "Basic Knowledge of Electricity".
Tension pervades the Royal Academy of Sciences' testing grounds.
One researcher was a little stunned and said, "It's easy enough for us to get the electricity out... Isn't it a little too hard to make a generator..."
Unexpectedly, another person on the side turned his head and said: "We have been studying electricity for several months, but we have not achieved anything to stabilize power generation... Rather than that, it's better to just give up! Shame on the emperor! ”
"Ahh Stick to it.. Hold on! It's just the last step! ”
The fellows also brought with them a number of students from the Royal Academy of Sciences, including many who had already graduated, who remained on campus.
In order to witness the final step, which is the manufacture of the generator.
The composition of the generator is complex and complex, but if it is divided into several parts, the main components are only rotors, stators, end covers, bearings and other components.
Inside the compound, there is a steam engine that has just been pulled from the Royal Directorate of Industry.
Magnet.. Copper wire..
Scattered on the table, all the researchers in charge of assembling them had their hands on insulated gloves made of natural rubber in advance.
Although many people have never really seen what the electric current looks like, the rigor of new knowledge... Or tell them that everything in the books must be right!
This is not to suppress their creativity, but to teach them to explore within reason.
Instead of putting their lives on the line.
The copper wire is wound around the magnet one by one, and the assembled magnet ring is then installed in a cast iron shell prepared in advance.
If nothing is wrong, then they have already completed the vast majority of the steps of assembling the generator, for hours on end.. All the assemblers present did not slack off in the slightest, let alone rest for a second.
Finally.. After assembling the generator and the steam engine next to it, one of the researchers excitedly said, "Turn on the light bulb!" ”
"Good! Let's spread out, let's turn on the light bulb now! Only then will you be able to see more intuitively whether the generator is really generating electricity! ”
Everyone immediately spread around, and when the light bulb was also connected by wires, the researcher on the side nodded with a serious expression.
"Give the steam engine .. Let's start the fire! ”
The steam engine was activated, and it didn't take long for the generator to rotate with the steam engine...
After a while, someone saw the arc next to the generator.
"Look! The generator is really flashing with electric light! ”
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't pull me! I see it.. I see it! ”
"Are we going to make it?"
And as the arc flickered, almost instantly, the light bulb not far away burst on... Even in the daytime, the light bulb lit up in full view of everyone!
The brightness is very high... This is due to the strength of the current.
The generator is indeed much more reliable than the previous manual stepping on the chain.
As the light bulb lit up, everyone present looked excited, and even hugged each other, and one person shouted: "Long live the Royal Academy of Sciences!" ”
"Long live the Ming Emperor!"
"Long live Daming!"
This little sun-like thing will take a while...
It was very honorably laid off.. But everyone's excitement has not stopped, because everyone knows very well that there are still many imperfections in the current generators...
For example, there may be a lot of shoddy work in the internal structure, after all, manual work... Inevitably, things happen.
And the light bulb went out again, and it was recorded in the book early on, and the service life of this kind of bulb with carbon filament as the filament itself is not too long...
What's more, such a powerful current is now used to power it.
It's strange if it doesn't burn it..
After a while, the director of the Electric Power Research Institute of the Ming Royal Academy of Sciences finally stood up, and he was also celebrating with excitement just now.
coughed, cleared his throat, and then heard him say: "In the future, we will use electricity to transform the Ming Dynasty!" We want to bring light to thousands of homes every night! But in the process, I want to... We still have a long way to go, and we still have a lot of difficulties to overcome! Let's keep up the good work together! ”
"Director! We do! Even if he only studied electricity all his life, we all feel that we have no regrets in this life! ”
The enthusiastic researchers replied loudly.
In the following period, everyone returned to normal work and dismantled the entire structure of the generator again.
The possible problems are once again carefully investigated, after all, when the steam engine was started... There was a slight tremor on the generator's casing.
This proves that there is still a problem with the magnetic coil inside.
They are also required to continue to work on improvements.
