Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 240 The Generator Appears

"Master, my subordinates have already sent away the household officials sent by the imperial court. They don't even think about taking a dime from us." Chen Ting waved his sleeves and walked into the Chu State like a foolish son of a landlord's family. Cloud backyard.

"Oh? They didn't make trouble, did they?" Chu Yun said.

"On our territory, they don't dare to make trouble. If they make trouble, they will be detained and thrown to Anshan to mine. Anyway, we have done a lot of things like this." Chen Ting said, "Hey, military lord, you can do it What's this?"

Chen Ting was surprised to see an iron bump in Chu Yun's backyard, which was strange in shape and he had never seen it before.And beside Chu Yun, there were a few unfamiliar Western experts.

"This is a good thing. It is worth a million taels of silver. No, even if it is a million taels of silver, I will not change it." Chu Yun said.

"Things worth a million taels of silver?" Chen Ting seemed to see a treasure, his eyes lit up, "That is to say, if our finances are tight, as long as we sell this thing, we can solve the urgent need?"

"Hey, I'm just describing its value. I don't think it can be sold for millions of taels of silver. Besides, except for a very few people, no one can understand its value. This treasure is called a generator." Chu Yun said, "Are you right, Faraday?"

"Yes, the future belongs to the era of electricity, and electricity will overturn the whole world!" said an old scientist.

If people from the same era as Chu Yun heard that the famous Faraday was also summoned, their jaws would fall to the ground in surprise.This is the "Father of Electricity" and "Father of Alternating Current", the founder of the field of electric field research!

Although Chen Ting couldn't feel Faraday's greatness, Chu Yun was still very self-indulgent.Hmph, I created Newton and Faraday, are Einstein and Edison still far behind?
The system has very strict technical restrictions on the military field, especially after the humane restrictions have been exceeded, some military technologies cannot be opened even if Chu Yun is civilized.And some unrestricted military technology, such as iron-clad steamship technology, requires a huge amount of civilization points of 100 million civilization points, which makes Chu Yun helpless.

However, the system is loosely open to technology in production, life, and the environment. Basically, as long as there is a civilization point, it can be opened.So Chu Yun began to work on the technology of the second industrial revolution.When it comes to the second industrial revolution, it is not at the same level as the first industrial revolution. There are too many important technologies.Electricity, internal combustion engine, petroleum, antibiotics, smokeless gunpowder, rubber, alloys, plastics, any one of them is a technology capable of subverting the world.However, because the second industrial revolution has too many and complicated technologies, which involve many modern disciplines such as physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics, the number of civilization points required is calculated in tens of thousands, and those with more are calculated in hundreds of thousands, and more It's about a million civilization points.

Now Chu Yun spends almost all of his accumulated civilization points, just uncovering a small corner of electric technology.This time it was not just Faraday, but also the technicians of the Anglo-French Union Company that produced the electromagnetic DC generator driven by the steam engine, and the American scientist Morse who opened the era of practical wired telegraphy.

"This is Mr. Edward, the chief technician of the Anglo-French Alliance Company. We are going to the Liaonan Power Supply Bureau, and the Anglo-French Alliance Company that came to our southern Liaoning will be merged into the Liaonan Power Supply Bureau. It will be responsible for the production of industrial and commercial generators and wires. And this Mr. Morse and Mr. Faraday joined the Academy of Sciences to study electric fields and practical wired telegraphs." Chu Yun said.

The technology started at this time is only a DC generator, but it can already be used in production.Especially railway communications.Of course, the field that Chu Yun most wanted to use was military.

As the territory became larger and larger, Chu Yun had little control over the newly merged distant territories, so he urgently needed instant messaging tools to closely link these territories together.Otherwise, it will take ten days and eight months to send someone to send word to Ryukyu, and the day lily will be cold.

"Electricity? Electric field? Telegraph? Electric wire? What are these?" Chen Ting was at a loss, "Why can't I understand at all?"

"How should I explain it to you? Electricity is another mode of energy. With electricity, many electrical appliances can be used..." Chu Yun saw Chen Ting's dazed look. The more he tried to explain, the more confused he would be. .After all, it is difficult to describe to the ancients who have not seen the benefits of electricity what they have not seen, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, this research is carried out as a secret project, you just need to be responsible for providing finances, and ensure that the project will not be interrupted. Wait until Once the telegraph and generator are produced, and the wiring is built, you can feel the charm of electricity."

"Master, you want to start a new project?" Although Chen Ting couldn't understand the difference between the electricity Chu Yun said and the lightning in nature for the time being, he felt that this was another big pit!
Chu Yun has already created a lot of pits. The Ministry of the Army has a large pit for guns and artillery, and the Ministry of the Navy has a large pit for battleships. The railway company wants to build the Liaonan-Liaodong Railway. The Academy of Sciences is also a big pit, and the construction of the Anshan mining field is still a big pit... In short, the pit opened by Chu Yun is already very large, and new pits are constantly being opened.

It is said that Chu Yun was also planning the main artery of the Siberian Railway, and Chen Ting was so scared that he couldn't sleep well for several days and nights.It wasn't until Chu Yun personally said that he would not consider the matter of the Trans-Siberian Railway within five years that Chen Ting breathed a sigh of relief.

"If you just set up wired telegraphs in major military strongholds, the cost is actually not too high. Of course, this is compared with railways. When electrical appliances become popular in the future, AC thermal power plants and hydroelectric power stations will be the big ones. Not yet." Chu Yun said, "Let's invest 5 taels of silver in the first phase to prepare."

"My lord, now I'm going to ask for 5 taels of silver. The power plant and power station you mentioned should be rebuilt in a few years after the subordinates retire. If you make such a fuss, the subordinates will lose several years of life." 50 Chen Ting, who is many years old, has black lines on his face.

If you are not in charge, you don't know how expensive materials, rice, oil and salt are!
"If you don't have money, go grab it. Take down the prairie, sell firearms and food to the peasant rebels in Shaanxi, and force them to rob the imperial granary. We will reap the benefits of the fisherman and make a lot of money." Chu Yun thought happily , "What's more, starting to develop electricity now, it will be used as industrial power in the future, and its efficiency will be much higher than that of steam engines."

"Sell firearms and food to the peasant rebels, let them fight with the court?" Chen Ting was dumbfounded.What is this operation?
　I'm tired, there is only one update today, let's see if I can make up for it tomorrow.
