Chapter 77: Long Live Electricity!

"The dignified king of a country, so untrustworthy, no wonder Daming has become like this now." Daniel Zhang said indignantly.

"Don't worry, there will be opportunities in the future, and the emperor will come again to invite us to send troops." Zhou Xian smiled lightly.

Everyone was confused and didn't understand the meaning of Zhou Xian's words.

"We must first run Datong Mansion well, and then find an opportunity to occupy the entire territory of Shandong." Zhou Xian continued.

There was nothing else to do in today's meeting, and after a while of discussion, the meeting was adjourned.

At present, there are three schools in Xingjing, namely Xingjing Primary School, Xingjing Middle School, and Xingjing University.

Xingjing Primary School for three years, Xingjing Middle School for three years, Xingjing University for three years, a total of nine years, all the expenses of the nine years of study are paid by Xingjing, students do not have to pay a penny, referred to as nine years of compulsory education.

Xingjing Primary School has the largest number of students, reaching more than 10,000 people, and is mainly taught by some Xiucai teachers.

There are only more than 2,000 students in Xingjing Middle School, and they mainly learn some basic knowledge such as Chinese, mathematics, physics, and chemistry.

Seungkyo University requires passing the exam to enter, so the threshold is relatively high.

After the meeting, Zhou Xian came to the School of Electric Power of Xingjing University, and after a month or two of learning the basics, the 53 students of the School of Electric Power have learned the basic knowledge of electricity.

Zhou Xian came today to make a generator, it is not convenient to have no electric lights at night, as soon as it gets dark, there is only sleep, and there is no entertainment at all, so Zhou Xian wants to get the electricity out to add a touch of brightness to the night.

When Zhou Xian came to the Electric Power College, the students were looking at the books written by Zhou Xian.

Zhou Xian walked into the classroom, and the students were immediately excited, every time Zhou Xian came, they were able to learn a lot of knowledge about electricity, and they also remembered it deeply.

Zhou Xian glanced at the students sitting below and said, "Today, we are going to start making generators. ”

This sentence immediately made the students below boil.

"Are you finally going to build a generator?"

"We've finally been able to get electricity out, and after studying for so long, I haven't seen electricity yet!"

You must know that they have been learning electricity for a month or two, and they have not seen anything related to electricity, if it weren't for Zhou Xian's use of the mysterious ball of light to teach them the knowledge of electricity, they would all think that there is such a magical thing as electricity in this world.

Now that I heard Zhou Xian say that he was going to start making generators, how could he not make these students excited.

Zhou Xianxian first taught the principles and manufacturing methods of generators to the students.

Generators are usually composed of stator, rotor, end cap and bearing.

The generator is divided into DC generator and alternator, and what Zhou Xian wants to do is an alternator, which drives the generator through the steam engine to generate electricity.

In the future, a hydroelectric power station will be built on the Ink River, and a coal-fired thermal power station will be built to provide electricity to the entire Hoshikyo.

Zhou Xian took the students of the Electric Power Institute to the Arsenal, where a test workshop had been left for the Electric Power College.

In the workshop, there was a steam engine that Zhou Xian had prepared, as well as two large magnets and an iron shell that had just been produced, and the copper wire had also been pulled, so Zhou Xian took the students to wrap the copper wire around the rotor.

After four hours of busyness, Zhou Xian and the students of the School of Electric Power finally completed the manufacture of the first generator.

Then they installed the generator on the steam engine.

As the steam engine slowly turned, so did the generator.

Since no light bulbs were manufactured, Zhou Xian didn't know whether the two wires of the engine were electric.

Zhou Xian suddenly thought that he could make a carbon arc lamp for lighting.

Carbon arc lamps use the discharge arc generated when two carbon rod electrodes in contact are energized in the air and then separated.

Carbon arc lamps used in public places were replaced by tungsten light bulbs later.

As soon as he thought of it, Zhou Xian found Zhao Laoyan and asked him to find two carbon rods for himself.

Zhao Laoyan quickly found two carbon rods, which were many in the mine Zhang Yun.

Zhou Xian stopped the steam engine, and then tied two carbon rods to the two wires.

After restarting the steam engine, the generator began to spin, and as the generator rotated faster, an electric arc appeared between the two carbon rods.

Soon, the arc light became brighter and brighter, and it had reached the brightness of the incandescent lamp in later generations, and Zhou Xian looked at this bright light, as if he had returned to the twenty-first century.

When the carbon arc lamp was lit, everyone in the workshop was boiling, and the students of the Electric Power College shouted wildly.

"Long live the electricity!"

"Long live the electricity!"

"Long live the electricity!"

Zhao Laoyan witnessed this historic moment, and shouted excitedly.

The entire power workshop was filled with "Long live the electricity!" Voice.

"Don't look directly at the carbon arc lamp with your eyes for a long time, it will damage our eyesight." Zhou Xian reminded.

The workers of the arsenal heard the sound of the power workshop and also came over to see what was going on, and they were shocked when they saw the glowing carbon arc lamp.

Their eyes didn't dare to look directly at the carbon arc lamp because it was so bright that it looked like a small sun, something they had never seen before.

Zhou Xian looked at the expressions of these people and felt that it was necessary to let the entire Star Kyoto see the carbon arc lamp, so that the people could understand electricity as soon as possible.

After the people in the workshop quieted down, Zhou Xian said: "We will pull this generator to Xingjing Square, and at night, light it up so that the people of Xingjing can see it." ”

Hearing Zhou Xian's words, the students became excited.

"Okay, let the entire Star Kyoto know that we have electricity!"

The students shouted in high spirits.

It was already past six o'clock in the afternoon, and it was almost dark, so Zhou Xian asked the workers to help move the steam engine and generator to the big stage in Xingjing Square.

By the time we moved to the square, it was already dark.

Zhou Xian and the students quickly assembled the engine and carbon arc lamp, and then added firewood and coal to the steam engine.

Soon the steam engine was working, the generator was spinning, and the carbon arc lamp was slowly turning on.

Soon the carbon arc lamp reached the highest brightness, and when the carbon arc lamp was lit, the onlookers were shocked.

They had never seen anything like this before, and their eyes would be dazzled after a long time, and this thing was like a small sun, illuminating a radius of one or two miles as if it were daytime.

The onlookers let out bursts of cheers.

"Is this the little sun?"

"We Xingjing have created a small sun!"

At this time, Zhou Xian took out a simple horn and introduced loudly: "The people of Xingjing, this is the generator and carbon arc lamp invented by the students of the School of Electric Power of Xingjing University, with the generator and carbon arc lamp, we don't have to touch the dark at night anymore, don't use your eyes to look directly at the carbon arc lamp for a long time, that will damage our eyes." ”

"What is a generator? Do you know? ”

"I don't know, but it's made by the people in Seungkyo University, it should be very powerful."

"Yes, I heard that the people who can enter Xingjing University are the dragons and phoenixes among people, and they can't enter Xingjing University without the ability."

"Is this the talent cultivated by Zhou University and Xingjing University? It's possible to make something like this. ”

Soon, more and more people came to Xingjing Square, and everyone wanted to see the glowing carbon arc lamps with their own eyes, and the people cheered and jumped on Xingjing Square.

Soon, everyone in Xingjing knew that there was a generator and a carbon arc lamp in Xingjing Plaza.

Everyone wants to go and see, but there are too many people in Xingjing Plaza, and it is still crowded in the middle of the night, and many people can't sleep in order to take a look at the carbon arc lamp.

Since then, after the hot air balloon and the train, Xingjing has one more project, that is, to go to Xingjing Plaza at night to see the carbon arc light.
