At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 267
Zhu Qizhen is very happy, because what he needs is someone like Tong Xuan who can think when encountering problems!
In the Ming Dynasty, the foundation of natural science was very poor, and it was normal for people to not understand it.

If you are afraid, you are afraid, you don’t understand, you don’t think.

For thousands of years, scholars all over the world have been influenced by Confucianism, and they have entered a level of complacency and obstinacy.

Now, what the Academy of Sciences has to do is to break the monopoly of Confucianism.

Only when you think about it and discover the problem can you solve it in a targeted manner.

After lunch, Zhu Qizhen took Tong Xuan to the Imperial Study Room and chatted all afternoon.

Tong Xuan was quite reserved at first, but after talking for a while, he began to immerse himself in the ocean of knowledge, as if he had opened the door to a new world.

Back at the Hanlin Academy, amidst the astonishment on everyone's faces, he took the transfer order, went out and turned left, and came to the Academy of Sciences.

Belin quickly arranged a public house for him, and then transferred some people from other research groups to form an electrical research group, and allocated 500 taels of silver at one time as start-up funds.

Tong Xuan took the money and was dumbfounded!

Didn't do anything, just give money?
He is also just getting started, his eyes are darkened, and he doesn't know where to start.

Everyone else looked at him because he was the team leader.

After much deliberation, Tong Xuan decided to start with the experience of his predecessors.

At the cost of one death and five injuries, the Imperial Academy successfully demonstrated that people can induce thunder from the sky.

Didn't the emperor say that electricity is a kind of energy, since it can be induced, it can be used.

Well, let's start with Tianlei!
As soon as he said it, he immediately assigned tasks to the team members, purchased a large amount of copper wire and other materials, and prepared for a vigorous electric revolution.

A few days later, Zhu Qizhen was reviewing the memorial in the imperial study, and Bei Lin came to report excitedly.

"Your Majesty, the Electric Power Research Group of the Academy of Sciences is preparing to announce the latest experimental results. Please move to the Fubiting Pavilion and come to guide us!"

Zhu Qizhen was puzzled and asked, "Why do you want to go to Fubiting?"

Belin looked mysterious: "It's inconvenient for me to disclose, so please take a look!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded, put down the melody in his hand, and as soon as he went out, he saw dark clouds and another rainstorm.

"It's raining, it seems that your experiment will be rescheduled."

Belin shook her head and said, "Return to the emperor, this experiment is going to be carried out on a rainy day!"

Zhu Qizhen had an ominous premonition, but didn't say much, and followed Bei Lin to the Fubiting Pavilion in the front hall.

There are four pavilions in the Forbidden City, namely Wanchun Pavilion, Fubi Pavilion, Qianqiu Pavilion and Chengrui Pavilion.

Fubiting is connected to the Jinshui River on Gongnei West Road. In summer, the lush lotus leaves form a unique landscape.

At this time, Tong Xuan led the electric power research team and was ready.

Since the last time the Academy of Sciences became famous in a battle, not only the Imperial Academy, but also the six divisions and nine ministers have all admired the Academy of Sciences. They heard that today there is a novelty, and they put down their work and ran out in small groups to watch the fun.

Hearing that the emperor was coming, everyone hurried out of the way.

Zhu Qizhen looked at the scene, kites, copper wires, this...

Why is there a feeling of déjà vu?

Tong Xuan stepped forward, kowtowed and saluted.

Zhu Qizhen asked: "How does the Qing family plan to experiment?"

Tong Xuan replied: "Inspired by the emperor, the ministers believe that electricity is a huge energy. Therefore, after returning to the Academy of Sciences, the first research topic is how to use sky thunder."

Zhu Qizhen was shocked immediately, directly using thunder and lightning?

This step seems to be a bit big!

Even in the 21st century, people are unable to store and utilize lightning. You have only studied it for a few days, and you have solved it?

He looked suspiciously at the kite and copper wire, and asked, "Is this all your experimental equipment?"

"Go back to the emperor, that's right!"

Seeing Tong Xuan's confident expression, Zhu Qizhen secretly marveled in his heart, saying that the ancients were so powerful, and modern people are far less intelligent than the ancients, is it true?

If it is really possible to use lightning, it will be an earth-shaking change, Daming... No, the history of science in the entire world will be completely rewritten!

Thinking of this, he solemnly nodded and said, "Okay, let's start!"

Tong Xuan got the order and began to command.

It is still a kite covered with copper sheets, which is released into the sky.

At this time, the dark clouds were getting lower and lower, and the torrential rain might pour down at any time, but everyone was unwilling to leave, and they were all waiting to witness the miracle.

Wynn ordered someone to take the luan cap, but Zhu Qizhen waved his hand to stop it.

Because the luan cover would block his view, he wanted to witness all the process of the experiment with his own eyes, and he didn't want to miss any details.

Crack!
In the clouds in the sky, positive and negative charges began to collide, lightning appeared, and then there was a deafening roar.

Everyone stared at the kite swaying in the sky, like a brave warrior who did not fear death, plunged headlong into the thundercloud.

Zhu Qizhen frowned. This situation is exactly the same as before. It is possible to induce thunder. The question is, how to store it and how to use it?

In his cognition, a large battery or an engine should be connected below.

However, in the current Ming Dynasty, natural science has just started, and these things are still far away.

How to use it?
After Tong Xuan directed the kite to fly, it was tied to a stone pillar beside it, and then, one end of the copper wire was thrown into the pond.

Seeing this operation, Zhu Qizhen's eyes widened. Could it be that there is some secret weapon hidden under the water?
cool!

There was another thunderclap, and the kite in the clouds suddenly flashed brightly!
coming!

I saw a huge silver dragon connecting the sky and the earth.

boom!
The lightning followed the copper wire and plunged into the pond, causing a big explosion.

Tong Xuan was overjoyed and shouted: "It's done!"

Zhu Qizhen followed the prestige and found nothing unusual.

Everyone straightened their necks and looked towards the pond, but nothing happened.

goo goo goo...

The surface of the water was tumbling, but a fish floated up.

This is a koi, more than half a foot long, and it is an ornamental fish raised in the pond.

On weekdays, people often come to feed them. Therefore, the fish here are not afraid of people. Every time they see people coming, they will float to the surface and wait for feeding.

At this moment, her stomach turned upside down, probably because she was stunned.

Immediately afterwards, the second, third...

Soon, the surface of the pond was full of stunned fish, big and small, of all kinds, of all kinds.

Zhu Qizhen's face was stiff, as if he was shocked.

Tong Xuan pointed at the surface of the water and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, please see, you can fry fish by using thunder!"

Zhu Qizhen: ...

Tong Xuan was full of pride, and continued: "I have tried it, and the fish hit by the sky lightning, no matter whether it is electrocuted or stunned, is non-toxic and harmless, and can be eaten directly."

Everyone gathered around the pond, tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk in amazement, but Zhu Qizhen wanted to cry but had no tears.

You were asked to study how to generate electricity, but you fired mines and fried fish?
You've gone astray!
