Villager of Daming

Chapter 425 We want everything we see (second update)

'Woo~~Woo~~' The little train roared, pulling people back to continue eating and drinking.

It's a little awkward for adults to sit on a small train, but it's always faster than walking.

This time everyone has gained a lot of knowledge, and when they returned to the original place, there were more people discussing with each other.

They knew that His Majesty would not talk to them, so they probably had many things to ask Chief Zhu.

Hu Weiyong began to feel restless, he felt that he was wronged, and he just wanted to embarrass Xiaqiu Village, but in the end...

"Yichang, you need to quickly install the hydroelectric generator for us. There is a moat behind us, and there is Xuanwu Lake. Send us that boat too."

Zhu Yuanzhang sat down and drank a few sips of wine, and began to ask for things in his office. He wanted to have a light bulb.

"Your Majesty, the transmission of electricity requires a lot of copper. After being drawn into wires, paper and enamel are used to coat the insulation. Insulation such as rosin and white wax is used in power generation equipment.

But this electricity!There is a problem, if you accidentally touch it, you will die.

After eating, you can try it with a sheep, and His Majesty will know when the time comes.

At that time, if there is a problem with the electric lights in any part of the palace, people from Xiaqiu Village must go to solve it.

At the same time, candles and oil lamps are always on hand. I don’t know when a light bulb will fail, or there is a problem with the place where the electricity is transmitted.

When the wires are connected, walk in the pierced bamboo tube, so that they cannot be drenched by rain, nor can they be placed in a damp place.besides……"

"Yichang don't have it for now, write these down, let's find someone to read, and let's not touch that lamp and wire."

Zhu Yuanzhang got a headache when he heard it, so he just lay flat and didn't touch it, just use the light.

As for the copper wires, if Daming lacked copper, how could it still lack the wires in the palace?
The head of the village nodded, since this is the case, there is nothing else to do, and the village will solve the rest.

Including blowing the bulb, putting in the carbon filament, then pumping out the air, sealing it well, and then it can be used.

For Xiaqiu Village, the cost of light bulbs is very low. The key is that every household can light up the lights at any time, and it also saves fuel and candles.

And the cost of the generator...

It cannot be counted that way. The generator is built for a purpose and will be used in conjunction with other motors.

"Master Zhu, can't you pull the generator line from your village to the palace?" Empress Ma felt that it would not be easy to rebuild a waterwheel for power generation.

"The queen is like this, our village needs to do other things, and that one waterwheel may not be enough.

There are also many places in the imperial city that need electricity, so it is just right to have a separate power generation device.

At the same time, it is convenient for the people in the village to use it to practice their hands, as if they are re-familiar with what they have learned before.

Generating equipment and electric lights, the longer they are used and the more people use them, the more money they save.

Regardless of the use of copper, copper wires are not consumables, they can be used for a long time, and they can be re-melted and re-drawn after they are broken.

In fact, silver can be used to make wires, and it is better than copper, because of the price..."

The head of the village disagreed with the use of the same power generation equipment between Gongli and Xiaqiu Village. If something went wrong, someone would blame Xiaqiu Village.

Take it out separately, tell in advance that it will be bad if it is good, and if it is broken, we will send someone to repair it.

If you want to save copper, you can use silver. Of course, silver oxidizes faster than copper, and needs better anti-oxidation packaging, which is more troublesome.

"Okay, okay! We need to make more useful things. If Xiaqiu Village didn't make this lamp, the craftsmen don't know when they will be able to figure it out."

Empress Ma had no idea how difficult the steam engine technology, power generation and electricity application technology developed by Xiaqiu Village was.

She thought that the craftsman would figure it out eventually after pondering it slowly.

Zhu Wentian ate slowly beside him, he was the most tired person recently.

The application of steam engines and generators took many years in history, and countless people took countless detours.

He directly copied what was ready-made, without thinking and trying step by step.

With electricity, you can grind noodles at any time, and you don't have to go to the river to borrow the power of a water truck to grind them into decorations.

……

As the sky gradually darkened, someone went to pull the switch, the kind that pulls the rope, pull once to turn on the power, and pull again to turn off the power.

In fact, the same switch can be made without any technical difficulty.

However, there is a problem with the switch that you press, you must go to the wall to press it, and the rope is used instead of the length of the wire to save copper wires.

As long as the rope is long enough, with a few turns in the middle, it can be pulled at a distance of ten meters.

It is convenient when sleeping at night, pull the rope after lying down, and pull it again when getting up at night.

The switch type is also fine. You have to make several switches to connect them, and the middle is all copper wires.

Everyone looked up at the light bulbs, some were made of colored glass, and some were made of transparent glass.

"That's not bad. It's brighter than a glazed lamp when it's so high up. If you want it to go out, just pull it?"

As Zhu Yuanzhang said, he went to pull the rope, and with a click, part of the lights went out, and other people beside the rope hurriedly helped pull it, and it was all black in an instant.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned on some lights with another click, and the others continued to follow suit.

"Don't imitate us, let's just take a look, it's dark all of a sudden, it's scary." Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid of scaring the baby.

He stretched there a few times and thought it was fun, so he sat back and ate two bites.

He didn't intend to leave today, he just stayed here and felt the electric lights.

Xiaqiu Village has already prepared houses for them, and Xiaqiu Village has all the things that are necessary for normal life in the palace, but some palaces in Xiaqiu Village may not have them.

For example, every household has a flush toilet, and a tall water tower is built of concrete over there, pumping water from the river every day and distributing the pipes to each household.

The pipes are all clay pipes, sealed with hemp and lacquer, and the same is true for the sewers, which are all concentrated in the sewage treatment plant.

Because the people in Xiaqiu Village were too busy and had nothing to do, Zhu Wentian asked them to build the village.

As for how the water is pumped from the river to such a high water tower?It's too simple, the Archimedes screw pump, just turn and turn and it will go up.

Now that there is electricity, Zhu Wentian doesn't plan to use the electric pump to pump up the water, the lift is not enough, and the seal is difficult.

Since night...

"We also want to lift out the stones on the ground in the palace first, and we also want this flusher, so we don't need to use buckets."

Zhu Yuanzhang fell in love with this toilet immediately, and he didn't care how to deal with the sewer and sewage.

Anyway, Xiaqiu Village is using it, so Xiaqiu Village has a solution, hand it over to Xiaqiu Village, and let them direct people to work.

……

The next morning, after everyone had dinner in the village, some went to court, some returned to the palace, and people from Xiaqiu Village followed.

They depend on the terrain, Zhu Wentian is the main force, wherever they go in the harem, people will avoid them.

At noon, when the group returned to the village, the chief asked Hanhan, "How is it?"

"The moat is in the way, the height of the imperial city is higher than the surrounding areas, anyway, the last one can reach the imperial city when the flood occurs.

There is no place suitable for a sewage treatment plant around, so it can only go north, requiring pipes to pass through the moat, and the amount of work is not small.

I don't know how long His Majesty asked to finish it. We will go to the north with the crown prince in a few days. "

Zhu Wentian didn't think there was a problem elsewhere, except that the sewage pipes needed to cross the moat.
