Daming: Apocalypse of Longevity

Chapter 108 Electricity
However, Zhu Tianqi thought about it again. Nowadays, Westerners have not solved the mystery of thunder and lightning, and have not understood the principle of thunder and lightning. Therefore, for this natural phenomenon that is difficult for them to explain, they can naturally only blame ghosts and gods. In fact, today's Westerners Compared with the Ming Dynasty, people were not much better in this regard. Xu Guangqi did study science, but he also believed in foreign religions. This is not a contradiction.

After thinking about this, Zhu Tianqi couldn't help but shake his head and smile, and then continued: "What if I told you that this power of thunder and lightning can also be controlled by humans!"

After hearing this, Xu Guangqi was even more surprised and confused. He found it unbelievable and could not understand Zhu Tianqi's words. He could only guess that Zhu Tianqi was using this to hint at something else. It's just that it's hard for him to guess at the moment.

Therefore, Xu Guangqi could only reply: "If the power of thunder and lightning can really be controlled, only a true dragon emperor like the emperor can control it in this world, and ordinary people will probably end up being shattered to pieces!"

When Zhu Tianqi heard this, he couldn't help laughing loudly. It was rare for Xu Guangqi to say such flattery. I'm afraid this was because the matter he talked to him about today seemed a bit too much to him. Too ridiculous!

Seeing Xu Guangqi's shocked and confused expression, he looked very embarrassed. Zhu Tianqi stopped laughing, waved his hands and said seriously: "Okay Xu Aiqing, I won't beat around the bush with you. I just told you about driving." The matter of thunder and lightning is a science, just like the mathematics, agriculture and astronomy you are proficient in, it is called 'electricity' and has nothing to do with ghosts and gods!"

"Electricity?!" Xu Guangqi frowned, obviously because this topic was too high-end and advanced, making it difficult for him to follow Zhu Tianqi's ideas.

Zhu Tianqi also realized that if he kept talking in vain, it would be difficult to explain to Xu Guangqi what electricity is, and it would also be difficult for Xu Guangqi to accept that humans can "tame" electricity!
So Zhu Tianqi secretly opened the Krypton Life store and asked Xu Guangqi: "Xu Aiqing, I don't know if you have noticed that every time the weather is dry, electric sparks often burst out between the clothes and fabrics."

Xu Guangqi thought about it for a moment and immediately replied: "But there is such a thing. Could it be that this electric spark and the thunder and lightning in the sky are the same thing?"

Zhu Tianqi nodded slowly and said: "You can also say that, but the electric sparks generated between the clothes are too insignificant compared to the thunder and lightning. At most, it only makes me feel a sting, so I say , Electric energy also needs to be divided into different sizes.”

At this point, Zhu Tianqi turned to ask: "Xu Aiqing, what do you think electricity can do for us?"

Xu Guangqi thought for a while and said: "I believe that electricity is similar to fire, it can emit light and heat. As for other things, I can't think of more!"

Zhu Tianqi nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, for the application of electricity, lighting and heating are two very common application directions. However, the role of electricity is not limited to this. It has many other applications." role."

Taking advantage of the conversation, Zhu Tianqi had already found a set of physics experiment equipment for middle school students in the Krypton store. He bought it after spending ten days. Then he deliberately leaned over and pretended to take something from under the desk. I took out this set of experimental equipment from the Krypton Life Store because I was afraid that I would conjure these things out of thin air and scare Xu Guangqi.

Zhu Tianqi put the box in his hand on the table, and then stood up. While opening the box of experimental equipment and taking out the experimental equipment, he called Xu Guangqi to come closer and look at it, "Xu Aiqing, come with me to do a small experiment." !" Xu Guangqi has a strong thirst for knowledge, so when he heard that he was going to do an experiment, he naturally came forward very curiously and looked at the strange experimental tools on the table. One of them was the same as the one Zhu Tianqi just handed him. That sketch showed something very similar, a hollow glass sphere (a small light bulb) connected by a thin line.

Zhu Tianqi placed the experimental equipment and connected the small wires. Then he held the handle of the simple generator and said, "Xu Aiqing, you have to watch carefully next. I am going to use this little thing to make Power on!"

After hearing this, Xu Guangqi's eyes widened immediately and he stared at Zhu Tianqi's hand and the small light bulb on the desk. He even felt a little excited and nervous.

As Zhu Tianqi shook the handle of the simple generator, a current was generated, and the small bulb suddenly lit up. The filament in the bulb was hot and bright, as if a small arc was locked in it. At least that was how Xu Guangqi was. thought.

Seeing Xu Guangqi's eyes straightened, Zhu Tianqi knew that Xu Guangqi's interest in electricity had been ignited. Then, he could guide him to study electricity and lay the foundation for Ming Dynasty's electric power industry. This is why Zhu Tianqi Obviously you can just take out the drawings and instruct the engineering department to manufacture and construct according to the drawings, but you have to explain the electrical reasons to Xu Guangqi here.

Zhu Tianqi then took out a battery box from the box and said to Xu Guangqi: "Xu Aiqing, just now I used this suggested generator to create electricity, which made the small light bulb glow and heat. And now I have this thing in my hand. It’s used to collect and store electricity, and its name is a battery.”

As Zhu Tianqi spoke, he unplugged the wire from the simple generator and connected it to the battery box, and the small light bulb was lit again. “Battery can store the electricity created by the generator and use it when we want to use it!”

Xu Guangqi has already initially understood the production and storage of electricity. Although he still lacks knowledge about electricity, since it is energy that can be created and stored by humans, it is naturally of great value to production and life, so Xu Guangqi was very excited. .

Xu Guangqi couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, since the electricity can be created and stored using these devices, it will bring us light and heat. As long as we imitate these devices and create larger ones, Can we create and store more electricity to obtain more light and heat?"

"That's right!" Zhu Tianqi affirmed, "As long as we have enough electricity, we can use this electricity to help us do many things, not just to obtain light and heat, but to use it for lighting and heating.

Of course, when the power we obtain becomes larger and more abundant, we need to go through certain processing before we can use it. This is more complicated. In short, it requires a lot of complex equipment, and these equipment are based on our current technology. Levels can't be made yet, so I won't explain much for now! "
