Daming: Apocalypse of Longevity

Chapter 109 Simple Generator
Since even Zhu Tianqi said it was complicated, Xu Guangqi naturally didn't ask any more questions. He didn't even take the basics of electricity seriously, let alone consider the complicated knowledge behind it.

Zhu Tianqi immediately took out the books and materials he had prepared for Xu Guangqi, covering everything from the most basic junior high school physics and electricity knowledge, to the principles and manufacturing of generators, to the construction of simple small power stations.

"Xu Aiqing, please take these materials back and look at them first. Then, based on the sketch I drew for you, first build a small generator. After you successfully build the generator, we will talk about the next step!" Zhu Tianqi said.

Xu Guangqi hurriedly took these books and saluted: "I obey the order. After I go back, I will study these materials with great concentration and build a generator for the emperor as soon as possible!"

In fact, the manual work of making small generators is a piece of cake with the talent Zhu Tianqi inherited from Zhu Youxiao. The reason why he did not make it himself was to let Xu Guangqi do it according to the drawings. The purpose of making generators with data is naturally not to embarrass Xu Guangqi, but to pass on knowledge and technology.

Zhu Tianqi is a time traveler and already knows these basic electrical knowledge. Now that he has the bonus of construction talent, he has no problem with his hands-on ability. For him, making a simple generator does not serve any learning or training purpose. It is only meaningful to pass on knowledge and technology and let others build generators based on the information and help they provide.

After all, no matter how knowledgeable and powerful you are about technology, you are still just one person. You cannot accomplish big things by relying on the strength of one person alone. Besides, as the king of a country, you do not have so much time and energy for R&D and production.

Only by teaching knowledge and technology to more trustworthy people can we truly improve Daming's technology and production level, accomplish more great things and create more miracles.

Xu Guangqi's meeting with the Holy Spirit can be regarded as the "door to the new world" opened by Zhu Tianqi. He was full of interest in the new energy source of electricity. As soon as he got home, he couldn't wait to flip through the books and materials in his hands and started reading. He didn't even bother to eat. , and couldn't care less about sleeping, almost to the point of obsession.

Five days later, Xu Guangqi built a simple generator that was two feet long and one foot high. It was made of wood and had a big shake handle hanging on the outside. At first glance, it looked like a large wooden barrel with a shake handle. A passionate person would never guess what this is!

Xu Guangqi immediately ordered someone to carry the newly made simple generator to the palace and asked for a meeting outside the Qianqing Gate.

When Zhu Tianqi heard that Xu Guangqi had built the generator so quickly, he naturally ordered Wang Yuanbao to summon Xu Guangqi into the Qianqing Palace. Then he saw the "big wooden barrel" made by Xu Guangqi.

Xu Guangqi gave a salute, and then said: "Your Majesty, this is the generator that I made according to the drawings you gave me, but I don't have the glass ball that can catch electricity, so I don't know if this generator can work or not." Make electricity!”

Zhu Tianqi immediately thought of the light bulb that Xu Guangqi referred to as the "glass ball that can capture electricity", couldn't help laughing, and said: "You are talking about electric lights, right? That is not something used to capture electricity, but through Electricity to make light, to light things.”

Xu Guangqi was slightly stunned, but he was not entangled by this matter. According to his thinking, since the emperor now said that the glass ball called "electric lamp" was not used to capture electricity, but to illuminate, then it means that before The arc in the glass ball I saw was not captured electricity, but "working" electricity.Zhu Tianqi looked at the generator built by Xu Guangqi. There were two copper wires left on the front end to output power. However, these two copper wires were very thick, and it was impossible for a generator of this size to be connected to the experimental equipment. Small bulbs should be used for testing, but larger bulbs should be used.

Zhu Tianqi then bought a lamp socket with wires and an ordinary household tungsten filament bulb from the Krypton Life store. He first screwed the bulb into the lamp socket, and then connected the wires to the two copper wires of the generator. , then clapped his hands and told Wang Yuanbao: "Go over and shake the handle and try it!"

Wang Yuanbao looked at the generator and the light bulb that Zhu Tianqi had just connected. These things looked indescribably weird in his eyes, and the fear of the unknown instantly filled his heart, and even more What's more, Zhu Tianqi and Xu Guangqi kept talking about "thunder", "electricity" and other things he couldn't understand, which made him feel even more scared.

However, no matter how scared he was, he could not disobey the emperor's order, and he had to fight even if there was a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire in front of him. Therefore, even though he was extremely frightened in his heart and had cold sweat on his forehead, he still swallowed, walked forward, and held the hand with both hands. Shake the handle, gritted his teeth, and started shaking.

Zhu Tianqi glanced at the light bulb that was not moving, and shouted loudly: "Shake it faster, speed up!"

Wang Yuanbao was frightened by the scolding, and then he gritted his teeth, closed his eyes tightly, and quickly shook the handle of the generator as hard as he could.

Finally, the light bulb began to flash, and then it lit up completely, emitting a dazzling light that surprised the palace maids and eunuchs present, as if they had seen a miracle!
However, Xu Guangqi, who had already seen a small light bulb light up in a previous small experiment, did not show too much surprise. Instead, he was more excited and happy that the generator could successfully generate electricity.

Zhu Tianqi couldn't help but smile and clapped his hands: "Congratulations, Xu Aiqing, you succeeded in making a generator for the first time!"

Xu Guangqi was also smiling and overjoyed. He bowed to Zhu Tianqi and said, "This all depends on the drawings made by the emperor and the information given to me. Otherwise, how could I make such a wonderful thing! "

After hearing this, Zhu Tianqi waved his hand and smiled: "Okay Xu Aiqing, you don't have to be humble. Even if you have ready-made information and drawings, not everyone can successfully build a generator in one go."

After saying this, Zhu Tianqi led Xu Guangqi to his desk, spread out a piece of white paper, picked up a pen and drew on the paper and said: "Xu Aiqing, you should have already known about the generator by making this generator. Power generation mainly relies on the rotation of this crank. Now we use human power. The human power is too small and cannot last long. The electricity that can be created is both small and small.

So we just need to find a way to replace manpower and let the crank rotate rapidly, so that the generator can continuously generate electricity for our use! "
