The rubber tree, which developed like a spider's web through the Ming Dynasty, has found the sea trade that envelops the four seas.

It's kind of incredible.

Rubber origin: South America.

Daming's current maritime trade does not involve South America.

I don't know how Bai Xiu got it.

There is only one possibility, when Bai Xiu led his team to sail around the world, he had already arrived in South America, and after discovering the rubber trees he had deliberately confessed, he sent a boatload of saplings back on the way back.

With the rubber tree, the rest is handed over to the chemical group in charge of Yu Kang of the Academy of Engineering Sciences.

Sooner or later, rubber will be made.

With rubber, the problem of line protection of wires is solved.

And transformers ......

Actually, it's not that hard.

Junior high school physics involves this knowledge.

The main principle is the change in the number of copper wire coils before the input and output of the transformer, so as to change the voltage and ensure that the power generated by the hydroelectric power station is within the usable range.

Because of long-distance transportation, high pressure is actually required.

took a piece of rice paper, made a design drawing and explanation of the general principle of the transformer, and handed it to Lu Chunjing, "This is a machine that solves the size of the power and achieves the purpose of stable transmission. ”

Lu Chunjing was shocked inexplicably.

I can't believe my eyes.

It has only been a long time since the question was raised, but after just saying a word, His Majesty immediately got along with the solution and directly designed the principle of this machine.

Is it really born to know?

Lu Chunjing looked at the design drawing, "Transformer? ”

Zhu Jianji hummed, "The size of the electricity, I thought of a relatively new ranking, called voltage, using voltage to describe and engrave the size of electricity, and this machine can convert voltage, so as to ensure the stability of the voltage used and transmitted." ”

Lu Chunjing was breathtaking.

served.

If human beings control the flames, it is a sign of the origin of civilization.

Then His Majesty controls the thunder and lightning that can only be found on the heavenly dome, which is a miracle that people can overcome the sky.

Zhu Jianji smiled: "Is there anything else?" ”

Lu Chunjing shook his head.

Zhu Jianji smiled: "If it's okay, just retire - wait!" ”

Zhu Jianji slapped his thigh reluctantly.

it!

Ride a donkey to find a horse.

Since hydroelectric power stations can be built, why not engage in electric motors?!

The principle of the electric motor is also very simple!

The current power generation method is electromagnetic induction, which generates an electric current through a copper wire around a magnet, while the motor is reversed, and the electric current flows through a magnet wound with copper wire, and the motor rotates when it comes.

If you can generate electricity, why can't you get an electric motor?

Zhu Jianji suddenly cheered up.

Stopped Lu Chunjing, "Wait a minute, I have another idea, since we can generate electricity, we can use electricity to make a motor powered by electricity, which can be widely used in a variety of industries." ”

For example, machine tools.

Today's machine tools rely on hydraulic power, which is actually outrageously inefficient.

It's better than artificial.

But if the motor is developed......

The real machine tool will bring a new chapter to Daming's industry.

Lu Chunjing looked dazed, "What motor?" ”

Zhu Jianji picked up a piece of rice paper, waved his pen, and quickly drew another schematic diagram of a generator, and then said to Lu Chunjing: "Look, this is the power generation principle of our light artifact, isn't it?" ”

Lu Chunjing nodded.

Zhu Jianji said: "Then the question is, if we turn this setting upside down, use a hydroelectric generator to generate electricity, and then transmit it to the workshop in the city, and the motor in the workshop is the upside-down generator, after the current passes, can it drive the impeller to rotate?" ”

Of course it can drive.

The reason why I said this was to let Lu Chunjing send people to experiment.

lest you know everything, make yourself like a fairy, and it's not good to spread it.

Lu Chunjing thought thoughtfully, "Whether the coil on the magnet on which the electricity flows through the light artifact can drive the impeller and how big the impeller can be driven, this is uncertain, but it ......."

Lu Chunjing's eyes lit up, "If this idea is successfully verified, does it mean that many things can be replaced with this motor, so as to achieve the possibility of large-scale production?" ”

Zhu Jianji hummed, "The most direct point is that we can develop a car driven by electricity, instead of the traditional horse-drawn carriage and ox cart powered by ox and horse." ”

The cost of electric trains is too high.

Zhu Jianji will not do it at all at present.

But then you can say, for example, it's easy to understand, and it's not a long-distance electric train, but you can have a tram system in Beijing.

And electric motors are used for more than just trams.

Lu Chunjing cheered up, "That Weichen went back, immediately arranged for manpower to conduct experiments and tackle key problems, and asked His Majesty to issue an order to let the Ministry of Industry provide some steel to be used first." ”

Zhu Jianji said: "At present, there are more projects on the power company's side, so you are busy?" ”

Lu Chunjing thought for a while, "Weichen can, but the manpower is tight, and there are actually a lot of people who can be recruited, but Your Majesty, you know, these projects of our power company are risky, and there is no certain professional technology, so I really don't dare to use people indiscriminately. ”

Zhu Jianji sighed: "Indeed, electricity is like a thunderstorm in the nine heavens, and a little carelessness is a safety accident, but electricity has to be engaged, so we can invest a little more and improve the treatment of the subordinate personnel of the power company as much as possible, especially in skills and safety training!" ”

Lu Chun nodded, "But most of them are illiterate, and they are not easy to train." ”

Zhu Jianji also felt a headache.

The people of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to those who have read books, ordinary people are really not good at getting electricity, but those who have read books have a dream of imperial examinations, who wants to be a worker?

】

At present, the Royal Power Company is overstretched.

If it weren't for the high salary, if it weren't for the title of imperial businessman, the power company would not be able to recruit people at all.

It seems that the Xinhua dictionary edited by Chen Xianzhang must speed up the progress.

After thinking about it, he said to Lu Chunjing: "The cement plant, the steel plant, and the electric motor, these three projects were approved at the same time, as for the shortage of manpower...... In this way, I will allocate 300,000 taels of silver to you from the account of the East Palace, and use these 300,000 yuan to establish an electrician school, and then the recruitment target must be young people between the ages of 20 and 30, and they must be from the city, and it is best to be literate. ”

Lu Chunjing immediately received the order.

Zhu Jianji got up and walked to Lu Chunjing's side and took a deep breath, "Brother-in-law, I will give you a foundation, if you really run the Royal Power Company as prosperous as I expected, in the future in the history books of my Ming Dynasty, the dazzling degree of the three words Lu Chunjing is likely to be higher than Bai Xiu, and slightly lower than Yu Qian, Wang Yue and Hang Min." ”

After a pause, "But it will definitely go down in history and become the ancestor of the electricity industry." ”

Jusheng Luban!
