Chapter 014 [The Birth of the Automobile]
Academy of Engineering.
A group of people gathered around the experimental table, looking carefully at the new invention, which was not very large.
Yang Yu, who came to the Engineering Institute, came to the test laboratory of the generator through guidance.
Seeing so many people gathered together, I didn't bother them, and found a corner to look at the experimental table.
The dean of the Academy of Engineering was holding the grip of an instrument that did not even have a total of fifty points, and shook it gently.
The instrument consists of a large and pinion on the left, hollow wood in the middle, and a small swinging grip on the right.
There is an iron wire underneath that connects to an unknown object set to the left, and a wire at the tail of the instrument that connects to an object that is five centimeters away from the gear to the left.
As the dean of the Academy of Engineering shook the grip, the instrument actually had a pointer beating.
"Dean, it's done, it's done."
"Three volts, the voltage is three volts."
Seeing the voltage displayed on the instrument, the researchers of the Imperial Academy of Engineering, who was in charge of watching the voltmeter, said excitedly.
They've finally made a generator.
Although this is the simplest generator and does not have much effect, it is also of great significance to the Star Empire.
"Hand crank generators?"
Yang Yu's eyes in the corner stared. A smile on his face.
When the generator appeared, it was decided that the Star Empire would move towards the electric age, and it began.
He did not continue to stay in the Engineering Academy, but quietly left the Engineering Academy and returned to the Imperial Palace.
"Dean, do you want to present it to Your Majesty now?" A researcher asked tentatively as he looked uncertainly at the dean of the Academy of Engineering.
"No, you don't."
The dean of the Academy of Engineering shook his head, the role of the hand-cranked generator is not great, but it is of great significance, and said: "In the future, this hand-cranked generator will be placed in this laboratory, and anyone who needs to use it can use it, but it cannot be taken away." ”
……
Time flies, time flies.
When the generator appeared, it meant that the Star Empire officially entered the electric age.
The internal combustion engine and electric motor unit have also been studied under the scrambling of the Engineering Institute.
Even electric lights have been developed.
At the same time, it also means that the Star Empire belongs to the pollution of the industrial age, and it has begun.
After the Ministry of Finance saw the effects of electricity and electric lighting, it immediately began to vigorously promote electricity and electric lighting.
Hindering the development of the electric age?
Who has the guts?
No one dares to hinder the development of the times, and they can't stop it.
Now the situation of the people under the empire is related to the performance evaluation of officials, and they dare not hinder the development of the empire.
132 years of the Emeral Era.
After more than 30 years of electrical development, the Star Empire has truly entered the electric age.
Telephones, radio stations, internal combustion engines, electrical units, machine tools, generators and other electrical equipment have also been developed.
But the car that Yang Yu was thinking about still didn't have the slightest clue.
But on this day.
The secretary general walked into the imperial garden excitedly, looked at His Majesty the Emperor who was admiring the flowers in the garden, and quickly restrained the smile on his face.
"I've seen you happy from a long distance, what's so good? Tell me about it. ”
He put down his teacup and looked at the Secretary-General.
"Your Majesty, the President of the Imperial Academy of Engineering asks to see you."
"Oh? Please come here! ”
Hearing this, Yang Yu said softly.
The president of the Academy of Engineering is already in his eighties.
Although he is very young compared to his age, he is with the empire, and he is only a hundred years, which cannot be compared.
Moreover, during the years of this dean's reign, he was truly dedicated to the empire.
From the end of the steam age to the current electric age.
Already a lifetime for the empire.
"No."
Less than a cup of tea.
A man with a slightly rickety back, who didn't look as energetic as he did thirty years ago, was wearing a simple costume that belonged to the Star Empire, followed by two young men who seemed to be bodyguards, and looked cautiously at the old man who was faltering, "Old minister......
"Excuse me."
Yang Yu waved his hand, "I have said it, I am over seventy years old, and there is no need to salute." ”
"Etiquette cannot be abolished, you are the monarch's father, and I am the courtier."
The old man said stubbornly.
"Sit!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"What is Aiqing looking for?"
After the old man sat down, Yang Yu asked curiously, "But in some places, has he been held hostage?" ”
"Your Majesty, the old minister lived up to his high expectations and researched the car."
The old man said.
"Really?" Hearing this, Yang Yu's eyes lit up, and the car was taken out?
Then.
Yang Yu followed the old man to the Academy of Engineering to check out the latest inventions of the empire.
In the past hundred years, the Star Empire has not reduced the construction of roads, and the flat cement roads that extend in all directions are waiting for the arrival of cars.
Come to the experimental site of the Imperial Academy of Engineering.
When Yang Yu looked at the black car parked in the experimental site and surrounded by many scientific research workers, his eyes lit up, and the car, this epoch-making thing, finally came.
"Your Majesty, please."
The old man said.
He did not hesitate, and after the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army separated from the scientific research workers, he followed the president of the Academy of Engineering to the first car of the Star Empire.
And the scientific research worker standing next to the vehicle hurriedly opened the door for the emperor.
"Or scissor door? Be creative, be creative. ”
Yang Yu was full of appreciation, the scientific researchers of the empire are really creative.
The first car, which actually used the design of the scissor door, was good.
Entering the car, the space is relatively large, and all the facilities are very simple.
The dean of the Academy of Engineering also got into the car with the help of others.
A scientific researcher also got into the car and sat in the driver's seat.
"Your Majesty, please fasten your seatbelts."
said the president of the Academy of Engineering.
"Seat belts?"
"At the beginning of the design of the car, our engineering institute considered that if the car is too fast, but there is an emergency ahead, in the case of sudden braking, the person sitting in the car will throw forward uncontrollably, which is likely to cause unnecessary losses, so we have developed protective measures, which we call seat belts."
"Well, it is worthy of the Imperial Academy of Engineering, which I have high hopes for, and it is well considered."
Yang Yu's eyes lit up, the Imperial Academy of Engineering really brought me a surprise, and the seat belt protection measures appeared.
It's much better than the design of the first car in the history of the planet.
"The design of this car mainly uses a single-cylinder four-stroke, a gasoline engine, and an electronic lighter......"
The president of the Academy of Engineering tirelessly explained to the emperor the structure of this car and the working principle.
Yang Yu didn't interrupt him, but fastened his seat belt and sat next to him and listened to his story.
The car started, but it was very slow, but it still made Yang Yu very satisfied.
Slow speeds are not a problem.
It is unrealistic to eat a big fat person in one bite.
After the car circled around the square of the Imperial Academy of Engineering, it stopped.
Yang Yu got out of the car, looked at the scientific research workers present, and said: "Today, it will definitely be recorded in the history of the empire, and you will be remembered in the history books like the first, second, third and fourth presidents of the Academy of Engineering, and become a strong stroke in the imperial textbooks." ”
"We will devote our lives to the development of the empire, and live up to Your Majesty and the empire."
The faces of the scientific researchers were flushed.
It would be enough for the textbooks to record that they would die now.
"Your Majesty." At this moment, the Secretary-General hurriedly separated the crowd from outside and whispered in Yang Yu's ear: "Prime Minister, ten minutes ago, passed away. ”。
Suddenly, Yang Yu had no intention of staying here, turned his head to look at the dean of the Academy of Engineering, and said: "Aiqing, something happened to me over there, and I need to deal with it, you let it go, I and the empire are your biggest backing, and your rewards will be distributed together after I deal with the things over there." ”
"Your Majesty will deal with the matter at hand first, and the minister is not in a hurry."
