A few days later

University of California, Energy Applications Laboratory

His Majesty the King will come to inspect the Tang Kingdom every two or three months to discuss the development of cutting-edge science and technology with high-level scholars and professors.

After visiting the Materials Application Laboratory, His Majesty the King came here to listen to the relevant reports on the research and development of electrical energy application equipment, which seemed to be quite important.

The first industrial revolution is the liberation of the productive forces marked by the application of steam power, and the second industrial revolution is the blossoming of science and technology represented by the electrical and chemical industry, which has sprouted in the middle of the 19th century and is accumulating strength for the accumulation.

Of course, the Tang Kingdom cannot miss this wave of science and technology, and to lead the world's electrification industrial revolution, it has continuously invested in research and development, and has achieved fruitful results.

Since 1831, when the British physicist Faraday discovered the law of electromagnetic induction, top scientists from all over the world have devoted themselves to the research in the field of electromagnetism and have made rapid progress.

At present, there are two main R&D directions in this frontier field; One is generator complete sets of equipment and power transmission equipment. One is the application of electrical energy.

In the field of the development of complete sets of generator equipment, in 1832, the French scientist Pixie applied the principle of electromagnetic induction to make the first generator.

The original generator equipment was relatively cumbersome, and its driving force was manpower, and it was difficult to obtain high-power current by increasing the rotational speed.

Between 1833 and 1835, Suston, Clark and others successively invented new devices such as rotating coil armatures and stationary magnet structures, and the introduction of these new devices greatly reduced the operating equipment of the generator, thereby increasing the speed of the generator.

The R&D result of the Datang Kingdom Electric Energy Application Laboratory is that the German scientist Siemens has made significant improvements to the generator and made an electromagnet generator.

The electromagnet generator is to replace the permanent magnet with an electromagnet, so that the magnetic force is enhanced, and the powerful current that can be compared with the generator of Pixie can be generated, and it has the ability to promote and apply in reality.

During the improvement of the Siemens generator, the Italian physicist Pacinuti invented the ring generator armature. This armature uses a coil wound around an iron ring instead of a coil wound on an iron mandrel rod, which improves the efficiency of the generator.

Be inspired by this

Siemens made use of the ring generator armature of Pachinuti at the end of 1858 to make a generator set with excellent performance, this generator has excellent performance, has the main characteristics of the generator in the future, began to be popularized and applied in factories, mines and other fields.

Soon after, Siemens Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd. was established by the Kingdom Foundation, the University of California, the Government Science and Technology Fund, and Professor Siemens with 60%, 18%, 15%, and 7% of the shares, respectively, to produce, develop, and promote complete sets of generator equipment and power transmission equipment.

in the field

The Tang Kingdom has taken the lead, and the German scientist Mr. Siemens, that is, the famous Mr. Siemens in the German industry in history, was hired by the University of California in the Tang Kingdom to cross the ocean to develop his career here.

In terms of respect for knowledge and talent, California has formed an unprecedented relaxed and preferential environment, forming a top innovation force with major university laboratories as the core, and has a great reputation around the world, known as the "Science Valley".

No matter what country the experts and professors come from, as long as they have real talents, they can be respected and hired with high salaries, whether it is teaching and educating people, carrying out scientific research, applying for patents, or holding scientific lectures, it is very convenient.

The World Science Congress held in California last year attracted many European scientists to stay in this sunny and beautiful coastal city to develop, making Chang'an City more and more famous.

Only these years

A series of institutions of higher learning, such as the Canadian Institute of Technology, the North American Institute of Petrochemical Technology, the Royal Medical University, and the Canadian Normal College, have been established, which has further enriched the strength of Chang'an's scientific and technological community and created a stronger atmosphere for research and development.

The second research direction is mainly electric light.

The electric light is a source of light that emits light and heat through electrical energy, and the world's first incandescent lamp was invented by Henri Goebbels (Edison actually found the right material, that is, invented the practical incandescent lamp, and the light bulb appeared as early as 1854).

The exact technical name of the light bulb is "incandescent lamp", and the outer perimeter of the light bulb is made of glass, which keeps the filament under a vacuum, or inert gas at low pressure, and the function is to prevent the filament from oxidizing at high temperatures.

The current R&D challenges are;

The filament life of incandescent lamps is short, only 400 hours on average, and there is still a slight gap from the popularization and application.

"Since we couldn't find a suitable material for the filament, we tested it extensively." This kind of trivial thing Richard didn't want to open the golden finger, and directly waved his big hand to use the ability to use money, and turned around to let the president of the university command;

"The laboratory made a table to list various high-temperature resistant materials that may be applied to the filament, and tested them one by one, and there were so many college students in the school to recruit some R&D assistants by issuing subsidies to complete the project as soon as possible. A similar approach can be used in a large number of experiments such as simple repetitions in the future. Free up your hands for more important research. ”

"Weichen understands, as soon as possible, according to His Majesty's orders."

"In the future, in some important scientific research projects, some scientific research assistants will be arranged for professors, so that they can be relieved from heavy basic experiments and try to provide them with better research conditions."

"Your Majesty is merciful, and Weichen keeps it in mind."

"Hmm."

After the command, Richard calmed down.

If the laboratory had invented the durable incandescent light bulb earlier than Edison in history, then the electrification process could have been started with the practical application of generator equipment.

In Chang'an, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and other world-class cities, the brilliant lights are the symbol of the metropolis's nightlife, which can drive the nighttime economy and enrich human cultural life, which is of great social significance and contains huge economic benefits.

The world's early large electrical equipment companies started from seemingly inconspicuous electric lights, gradually accumulated strong development capital, and applied electrified equipment to a wider range of fields, which is a process of gradually expanding market demand.

It is natural for humans to crave light at night, and they will indulge in the illusion created by brilliant lights, the most typical examples are nightclubs and bars, midnight streets with blurred lights, and lavish night parties where the upper class lingers, all of which are vast markets for incandescent lamps.

I have to say that in order to promote the industrial development process of the Tang Kingdom and find a support point for future industrial development, Richard was as heartbroken as his old father.

"Professor Siemens, first of all, I would like to congratulate you, the first batch of Siemens generator products have been highly praised in the industry, which has added new strength to the industrial development of the kingdom, which is not easy!" Richard said with a smile.

Professor Siemens humbly touched his chest, raised his head and said gratefully; "Thanks to the city's passion for scientific researchers, Siemens Electric has been able to grow so far, and I am personally grateful for His Majesty's kindness."

"You're welcome, the Tang Kingdom has always respected knowledge, is more willing to create an atmosphere conducive to the development of science, is willing to explore the unknown, and promotes industrialization and progress for the benefit of mankind. This is the original intention of this king and the consistent policy of the government. ”

Speaking of which

Richard turned to the crowd and spoke loudly in a fanning tone;

"Knowledge is wealth, knowledge is power.

It can be seen from the development history of Siemens Electric Appliances and Nobel Chemicals that the Datang Kingdom welcomes experts and scholars from all over the world to come here to start a business and develop, turn their wisdom into reality, and benefit everyone.

In the process

Both the government and the private sector are willing to invest in the creation of inventions, with sufficient soil and government support, so that science and technology enterprises can thrive and bear fruit.

In terms of finance, taxation and capital, the Royal Government has preferential support policies for science and technology enterprises, which reflects the greatest sincerity of the Royal Government, which cannot be done in any country in the world.

Since its establishment, Nobel Chemicals has grown rapidly, with sales of 7.3 million yuan last year, and the company has also become a star enterprise in the Kingdom, for which Professor Nobel has won great benefits and government awards, and has been awarded the honor of Baron for Life.

The laws of the kingdom protect the interests of experts and professors, and protect the sanctity of the research and development results of all.

The kingdom advocates freedom of belief, and here you will not be persecuted because of your religious beliefs, and this is widespread in Europe and the United States, so I will not repeat it.

Here, as long as experts and scholars are willing to join the Chinese, you can marry as many women as you want, of course, there is only one wife.

The Tang Kingdom is the country with the most open social atmosphere, the most relaxed, and the best R&D environment, and California Province has done the best in this regard, which everyone must have personally experienced.

Here I solemnly promise once again as a king;

The Tang Kingdom unswervingly upholds the dignity of the law, protects and respects intellectual property rights, and respects talents, and this will not change for the next 100 years or even longer. ”

His Majesty's impromptu speech was met with a flood of applause, and the experts and scholars present were so excited that they were eager to write to their friends in Europe to share the good news and ask them to pack up and rush to California.

It's so nice here, it's a paradise for scientific research.

In the feudal kingdoms of Europe in today's era, except for Britain, which is more enlightened, the attitude of other countries towards scientists is generally to prevent and suppress, and there are countless people who are often put in prison.

Britain was the first to initiate and pass the Patent Act, but it was not well received in many feudal kingdoms in Europe, and no one took it seriously.

Plagiarism of British scientific research results abounds, and the British can only block the export of sensitive industrial equipment, such as the Jenny textile machine, and the British strictly guard against the export to the United States, and the violators are punished with heavy sentences.

There is no way, the United States does not have the concept of patents.
