The ministers of infrastructure knelt down and begged the scientific research boss to be enthroned

Chapter 25 Electric Fan

"It's already June. According to what Her Majesty said, the exam will start in July and August, which is the hottest time of the year. It is very easy to suffer from heat stroke when taking the exam at this time!"

To be honest, Wei Chenrui really didn't ignore this issue: "I haven't thought about this issue carefully, but it's not a big problem, just improve the exam environment. I'm good at this."

"As for how to improve, I still need to study and study, one month is enough."

Wei Chenrui really has the confidence. When it comes to clearing away heat and heat, with the current conditions, she can use ice.

As a top scientific researcher, Wei Chenrui was familiar with using nitrate to make ice.

Of course, Wei Chenrui would prefer to use the air conditioner.

It's a pity that with the current conditions and time, it is impossible to make a fuss.

However, the air conditioner can't be tossed out, and the electric fan is fine.

It is achievable to use batteries to drive electric fans.

After being aggrieved for a long time, Pei Qianhuo finally found a chance to vent his anger: "It turns out that Her Majesty the Empress Dowager has also considered something, look at your swearing appearance, I thought that you really did what you said, what? It's all thought through."

Before the emperor could get angry, Wei Chenrui said first, "Lord Pei must have a bad memory, as I said before, people make mistakes, just change it."

"Besides, it's just that the hall didn't think carefully, and it wasn't a mistake. There's no need for Mr. Pei to hold on to it so tightly."

"Don't forget, it's because of you that the hall needs to worry about reopening the scientific examination."

"If it wasn't for your unfavorable supervision that led to such a serious incident of imperial examination fraud, His Highness would not be bothered to worry about it."

After being teased by Wei Chenrui, Pei Qianhuo became honest and didn't dare to shout anymore.

The emperor also remembered that he had only scolded Pei Qian and Huo Yitong but hadn't punished him yet, so he dared to mock his daughter in front of him.

This is unbearable: "Don't tell me, my granddaughter, I have forgotten that the chief and deputy examiners and a group of officials headed by Pei Shangshu will be fined for three months and banned for one month!"

In order to prevent Pei Qianhuo from causing trouble and making Wei Chenrui unable to proceed smoothly, the emperor simply restrained them.

A month later, preparations for the imperial examination had been completed, and it was too late for them to do anything else just waiting for the exam.

The emperor made such a punishment, but no one knew that the emperor was on Wei Chenrui's side.

If you are sober, you will not say anything.

Chen Qingyu received Wei Chenrui's apology and affirmative reply, and stopped talking.

The morning is over.

After returning to the East Palace, Wei Chenrui plunged into his laboratory and turned on the electric fan.

Wei Chenrui has not yet tossed out the plastic, so the fan casing, fan blades and other parts can only be made of wood.

Wei Chenrui was born in a womb. He has lived in Zhaoguo for more than ten years. Most of the time he was tossing and tossing wood.

Electric fans are naturally inseparable from electricity.

Wei Chenrui tossed and tossed for a day. After finishing the fan leaves, base, casing and other parts, he started to toss and turn the electricity.

It is convenient to make dry batteries, but it is a burden on the environment, and it cannot be reused. It was passed by Wei Chenrui.

Dry batteries can't be used, but batteries can, just need some electrolyte.

Copper and iron are regulated metals, but gold and silver are very good. Silver has better conductivity than copper. Wei Chenrui naturally chose silver wire as the wire.

To solve the wire problem, we must consider the problem of the insulation layer. Wires without an insulation layer are prone to leakage and cause danger.

The insulation of ceramics is very good, but it is too late to make it now.

Moreover, ceramics are too hard to change shape, which is not very desirable.

After much deliberation, Wei Chenrui thought of tape.

Just like that, bit by bit, Wei Chenrui tossed out an electric fan in three days.

The battery was already in place, so Wei Chenrui began to experiment how long his own battery could power the fans.

Finally, the results showed that the battery can run the fan made by Wei Chenrui for two hours.

After two hours, the water in the electrolyte will gradually evaporate, and the electrolyte needs to be added again.

After the results of the experiment came out, Wei Chenrui showed them on the fifth day when he went to court, that is, when the ministers handed in the test questions.

Feeling the coolness brought by the electric fan, Chen Qingyu had nothing to say.

Seeing the ministers scrambling to stand next to the electric fan, the emperor looked proud.

To be honest, the emperor also wanted to feel the coolness brought by the electric fan, but he was embarrassed to go down and compete with his courtiers, so he pretended to cough.

As the chief eunuch next to the emperor, Liu Xi could naturally see the emperor's longing, and also knew the meaning of his cough, so he hurried down and approached Wei Chenrui and said, "Your Majesty, you have to let the emperor give such a good thing." Feel the feeling to show your filial piety!"

Wei Chenrui looked up and saw the emperor stretched his neck, his eyes were unblinkingly staring at the electric fans in the crowd, eyes full of longing.

Wei Chenrui held back his laughter and shouted to the crowd: "Okay, my lords, feel that this is over, we have to continue the morning."

All the ministers, it was only now that I remembered that it was still the morning court, and the emperor frowned at the right time, looking like he was about to get angry.

The ministers secretly raised their heads to look up, just in time to see it, touched their noses at the same time, and returned to their positions in embarrassment to stand still.

Seeing that everyone had already stood up, Wei Chenrui hurriedly moved the electric fan and battery to the side of the emperor.

Fearing that others would accidentally drop it, Wei Chenrui didn't let anyone intervene. He only ordered the eunuch to move a table and put it next to the emperor's dragon chair when moving it, so that it would be convenient for storage batteries and electric fans.

Feeling the coolness brought by the electric fan, the emperor felt very comfortable, and squinted his eyes happily, enjoying it.

If it wasn't for the worry that he was still in the morning court, the emperor would probably be able to fall asleep.

It's also very hot in June, and it's not uncommon to sleep well at night.

After feeling comfortable for a while, the emperor said: "My lords, what do you think of this electric fan?"

Chen Qingyu was the first to stand up: "My Majesty, this electric fan is very good. It can not only solve the problems of the students, but also solve the problems of the common people. It is really a good thing that benefits the country and the people."

"It's just that there are too few electric fans, so I'm afraid they won't be able to benefit all candidates!"

"That's right, this electric fan is too small. Each candidate has a separate compartment. I'm afraid that one electric fan can only be used by one candidate."

"That's right, that's right, when we experienced it just now, only three people could blow the wind."

With Chen Qingyu taking the lead, other ministers also expressed their opinions.
