Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 29 The birth of the generator

Li Wei, who finally won some human rights for himself, went back to work full of energy.

As soon as Li Wei left, the sadness and dissatisfaction on Zhu Yuanzhang's face disappeared.

We can't cure you yet!

"Father, are you just agreeing to his conditions?"

Zhu Biao watched him leave arrogantly and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang doubtfully. In his impression, his father was not such an easy person to talk to.

"What did we promise him?"

"Well, just a salary increase, a house next to the imperial city, and free time?"

Zhu Biao didn't understand why his father loved Li Wei so much.

"Haha, whether his salary will be increased or not depends on his performance. In the end, it is up to us to have the final say. The house is lent to him, not given to him as a reward. As for time freedom, he has not been quite free this month. Do we have the final say? What's the difference?"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.

Zhu Biao was stunned. Doesn't this mean that he was given almost nothing?

"But Father, have you promised him?"

"Who heard this?" Zhu Yuanzhang stared.

its me!

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's big eyes and weighing the distance and distance, Zhu Biao did not say these two words.

"Why doesn't Father blame him for his willful behavior?" Zhu Biao was still puzzled.

"Do you know what kind of courtiers we like best?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "What we like most is the kind of courtiers who are both capable and careless!"

Zhu Biao:?
"This is what Li Wei is like. You see, he has been in the court for more than a month, but we can be sure that he can't even recognize all six ministers!"

If Li Wei's future bosses hear these words, they will definitely nod their heads in agreement. Li Wei's popularity in his previous company was very average.

It's not that I have any conflicts with everyone, but I'm too willful and straightforward, and I don't understand the world at all, so I can't get along with those mean-spirited people in the office.

Such a person is destined to be a loner in the Ming Dynasty, and he would not be happy to have him form a party.

In fact, Li Wei is like this. Compared with the intrigues in the court, he prefers to work with the craftsmen of the Bingzhan Bureau.

So Zhu Yuanzhang was very relieved about him now, and even felt that digging holes before was unnecessary. With his straightforward nature, he would offend the courtiers sooner or later.

"But, is he that capable?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the elder: "This boy is very capable. Don't tell me that he doesn't know how to do this or that. In fact, he just doesn't want to work for us. Whatever he can do, it will be useful to our Ming Dynasty." Very useful."

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's high evaluation, Zhu Biao was dubious.

……

After returning home in the evening, Li Wei began to plan his future.

When he first came to the Ming Dynasty, he was busy surviving and escaping. After leaving the palace, he felt that his career prospects were bleak and there was nothing to plan for. Now that he had negotiated terms with Zhu Yuanzhang, he finally had some expectations and yearning for the future.

He doesn't ask for any princes or generals, he just wants to be able to enjoy life comfortably. He wants to have a villa, a luxury car, and all the air-conditioning, heating, major appliances and small appliances can be made!
These are serious matters. What princes and generals can compare with the convenience brought by these technologies?
Although apart from luxury cars, these are not related to what Zhu Yuanzhang requested, the technologies are similar. If you can build anything, you can build these, especially cars, which are the master of various technologies!
After determining the goal, Li Wei began to draw a flow chart on paper.

Build the generator first, this is a sure thing.

Then mobile phones and computers can be used. Use design software to draw the design drawings of the flintlock gun. Drawing with bare hands is still not as convenient as using a computer. For example, deleting and editing only requires a few operations on the computer, but it is troublesome on paper.In addition to flintlock guns, there are also steel materials, and there is a lot of information in the computer. When Boss Gou wanted to develop a new product, although he only produced a defective product in the end, he downloaded a lot of information on various materials. Although it cannot be said that These materials can be created based on these data, but it is always easier when you have a reference target.

As for steelmaking, the main thing is high temperature, and the blast furnace must be built. As for blasting, if you can make a generator, you can make an electric motor. In principle, electromagnetic induction is the opposite.

Of course, it’s not possible to rely on human power to generate electricity. It’s okay to use the little electricity you need to charge computers and mobile phones.

You can also consider waterwheels. Well, waterwheels are subject to geographical restrictions, but Yingtian Mansion is close to the Yangtze River, which is fine, but it is far away from the palace, so you have to discuss it with Lao Zhu.

If that doesn't work, just build a steam engine. The main purpose of a steam engine is finishing, which requires machine tools.

What rubber doesn’t exist?Replace leather with rubber, although rubber is better, but there are many alternatives.

And this is for static sealing. Dynamic sealing uses piston rings, which are metal parts. And the sealing does not have to be completely closed. Even moving parts in the later industrial era will leak. As long as there is not much leakage, it can be used. , nothing more than a waste of points...

Li Wei's writing and painting are ultimately boiled down to three elements:

The first is people, not only labor force, but also talents!This can only be taught slowly by opening a school.

The second is money. There is a lot of money. Li Wei feels that Zhu Yuanzhang is so poor that he should not be able to support it and has to find a way on his own.

If Zhu Yuanzhang knew what he was thinking at this time, I don't know what he would think.

The third point is policy support. With Zhu Yuanzhang’s support, there should be no problem.

In fact, Li Wei was wrong in this regard. Among these three points, the third point is the biggest resistance, the resistance from this entire era!
After the planning was completed, Li Wei became busy in the following days.

Fang Jianbao had already found the red copper that Li Wei wanted. At Li Wei's request, the craftsmen first made the red copper into strips and then used drawing boards to draw them into copper wires.

After the copper wire is finished, it is painted.

Li Wei also drew the drawings by hand and asked the carpenters to make the stator shell, wind the copper wire coated with insulating paint into the stator coil, then shape the prepared magnet into a suitable shape and install it on the shaft.

In the bearing position, Li Wei asked the craftsmen to make a double iron ring with several cylindrical bearings in the middle. Although it is not as good as later industrial products, it is better than nothing.

Added some more grease for lubrication.

Then, under Fang Jianbao's resentful eyes, he dismantled his "tricycle" and connected the pedals and gear components to the motor shaft.

It took several days to complete this first human-powered generator!

Then Li Wei went to Zhu Yuanzhang and asked for a multimeter to measure the voltage.

It was found that the voltage was unstable due to the unstable pedaling speed.

The next step is to improve, add a flywheel to store inertial kinetic energy to stabilize the speed, and add a ratchet mechanism to prevent reverse rotation.

After repeated calculations, tests and corrections, a relatively stable voltage was finally obtained.

Li Wei, who was tired and sweating profusely, stood up and admired this rough-looking generator. He felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart, which made him feel satisfied and proud!

As soon as electricity was connected to his hometown when he was a child, he began to tinker with electricity without a teacher. After being exposed to electricity a few times, he figured it out. He was able to repair TVs before he was ten years old. It can be said that he is very talented in this area of ​​electricity. .

The craftsmen looked at this high-ranking official who had been working with them for so many days. Although they didn't know what Li Wei was making, they couldn't help but be happy to see Li Wei happy.

During these days of getting along, Li Wei had no official airs at all and never beat or scolded them. Even if they did not do well, he would only scold them. This made them sincerely grateful and felt a little close to Li Wei.
