"Wu! Let me introduce you to Mr. Franklin from the Empire's North American Territories. He might be able to answer your questions! George enthusiastically introduced a medium-sized fat man to Wu Sangui.

"Hello! Mr. Franklin, it's a pleasure to meet you. "Having dealt with the British for a long time, Wu Sangui has become more and more like an Englishman.

The British Empire's North American Territory is a very rich place. It is said that cotton, corn, and the latest demand for rubber were cultivated there. Of course, the local white people still make a living from farming and business. Naturally, the heavy work was done by the black slaves who had been trafficked.

"Hear Mr. George, you have a way of using electricity, and I'd love to see it." Franklin saluted Wu Sangui, because Wu Sangui was a person with a title.

"It's this!" Wu Sangui took out the drawings that he had managed to get, and on them was an iron pillar tightly wrapped with copper wire.

"The Ming people call this thing a motor, and electricity can make the iron pillar rotate through this thing. Thus driving heavy things, such as shells on warships. With this thing, our warships can build larger guns that can fire shells of a larger caliber. "Wu Sangui doesn't understand this thing at all, but he got some information through the insider. He very much wanted to find an expert in the UK through George. Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon, finally the experts are here.

Franklin pulled out a pair of glasses from his bosom and placed them on them, then carefully examined the hand-drawn sketch.

The drawings are very sloppy, and there are square words in some places. Franklin guessed that this should be the text of the Ming Kingdom.

"You say this thing is copper?" Franklin asked, pointing to the dense circle of things.

"That's right! The copper wire was entangled, and I didn't understand how this thing worked, but I knew that the Ming army used this thing as a power to lift very heavy shells. If we can also build this thing, our warships can fire shells of the same caliber as the Ming Navy, or even larger! Wu Sangui's eyes were full of hope when he looked at Franklin.

He dreamed of having a cannon as powerful as Da Ming! And electricity, it seems, doesn't stop at being able to do that.

"In North America, I invented a lightning rod. Because I found that inside the clouds in the sky, there is electricity. When positive and negative electricity meet, powerful flashes and explosions are produced. This phenomenon is called lightning and thunder.

With an iron rod and a copper wire, lightning can be channeled into the ground. This will prevent buildings of a certain height from being struck by lightning! But we haven't yet discovered how the continued reliable power supply came from.

I can study this drawing you provided, but if you can't provide more information, I'll have a hard time getting it out in a short period of time. Franklin took off his glasses and shook his head helplessly.

"I still worked hard to get the drawings of this motor. It is said that power generation devices are manufactured by different manufacturers. Then, it is pulled to Changxing Island for assembly. Those manufacturers don't know what they're doing, and it's basically impossible to get the drawings of the power generation device.

I can only send someone to find a way to inquire, hoping to get information that will be useful to you. Until then, the only things that will help you are the bits and pieces recorded in this book. Hope it helps! Listening to Franklin's words, Wu Sangui's eyes darkened.

I finally invited an expert, but I didn't expect to understand it.

The information revealed by the inside line that the principle of these things was drawn by Li Xiao and told those researchers. Eventually, it was the researchers, and the manufacturing perfection began to be promoted.

Li Xiao, Li Xiao! How does this head grow! Anything goes!

"Mr. Wu, please allocate me some laboratories, and then make some experimental equipment according to my requirements, and I will start working tomorrow. As long as you have further information, I believe we will be able to build this kind of thing called a motor. Franklin was obsessed with electrodes, and he was the first to propose the idea of electrodes being positive and negative.

I thought it was the world's leader, but I didn't expect that in the far east, there were already people who could start generating electricity and use it as a driving force.

No one knew the role of electricity better than Franklin, and in his opinion the effects of electricity on human beings would be all-encompassing.

"That's fine, I want you to get the motor out of it soon. In this way, our ships will also be able to be armed with larger caliber guns. ”

Helplessly sending Franklin away, Wu Sangui drooped his head. After fighting with Da Ming for all these years, Da Ming is becoming more and more incomprehensible to him. I heard from the people sent to Daming that the capital is now using electric lights. At night, if you pull the lamp rope, there will be a light bulb on the top of your head, which is said to be brighter than ten giant butter candles.

Li Xiao! It all comes from Li Xiao! Sometimes Wu Sangui is very suspicious of whether Li Xiao is a human being.

"Wu! Don't be discouraged, the last time you hit the Ming fleet with mines and sink their three ironclad ships, you can be regarded as avenging Drake. Now the shipyard is at full capacity, and in two months there will be a super ironclad launched. The battered Hood is also about to be repaired. Add to the warships built by other shipyards, and we will have four ironclads this fall.

And the newly built ironclad ships are more advanced than those that Drake lost. Don't be afraid! With resources from all over India and the Middle East, and PhD groups from Oxford and Cambridge, everything will be fine. George patted Wu Sangui's shoulder and cheered up the slightly decadent Wu Sangui.

"Have you heard? Li Xiao began to attack the Western Regions, once he was allowed to take the entire Western Regions. He would attack south through Afghanistan, and then India itself would be threatened. Before that, the new home of Po City must be defeated. Otherwise, let's just wait to get out of India. ”

"Things are not so bad, the newly formed Indian divisions, I think it's not bad. In particular, the Gurko Division, which was composed entirely of Nepalese Gurkos, fought very bravely. It was with them the help of them that we were able to put down the rebellious states in the north a few days ago. Even if Li Xiao personally brought the Ming army to come, he would not be able to get any bargains. ”

"That being said, I'm still a little worried."

"Oh! Good news for you, there's something new going on with Dr. Watt. He developed a gasoline engine, which used gasoline as fuel to generate power. It's still immature, but it's going to be very promising, and I think you should take a look. ”

"Really!" Wu Sangui's eyes lit up with excitement.
