Chapter 71 Tmall Genie?

During the Hongwu period, Jinling City.

"The internal combustion engine should correspond to the steam engine, which means improving the efficiency of energy conversion." Zhu Yuanzhang tapped the armrest of the seat with his fingers, and then added: "As for the Dyson sphere, it corresponds to the unstable power generation of wind, water, light, etc., which should be used to stabilize these resources?"

Zhu Yuanzhang tried to imagine it. Not to mention that the wind is unpredictable, rivers alone have dry seasons and flood seasons. Is it possible to obtain these resources stably?

And "photovoltaic" means using light to generate electricity, but whether it is cloudy or sunny, it is impossible for human power to control it.

Obviously it's impossible. Zhu Yuanzhang thought helplessly, maybe he is just bragging.
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true."

"According to the naming rules of later generations, this internal combustion engine should be a device that burns internally, isn't it similar to a steam engine?"

"That's wrong. A steam engine still relies on burning coal externally to heat it into steam, but this internal combustion engine probably burns coal directly inside the steam engine." Liu Ji never stopped making shocking remarks.

Hu Weiyong and others squinted their eyes and thought for a while, and they also felt that it made sense. Of course, this was a speculation based on the naming rules of later generations.

"Yes, I think so too." Zhu Yuanzhang confirmed Liu Ji's guess, "What is this Dyson Sphere?"

Obviously, the naming sentence is Dyson-sphere, which means Dyson could be a person? Or something else?
This is all we can deduce from the name. After all, no one here knows this guy.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not discouraged when he saw that no one could explain it. He continued, "According to Tianmu, this light can also generate electricity. What do you think?"

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, he paid more attention to "photovoltaic power generation". The reason is simple: it can be used all over the country and has more advantages than hydropower, thermal power, wind power, etc.

Like thermal power generation, although it generates electricity, it still consumes a lot of coal, which is very inappropriate, or not so cost-effective.

As for hydroelectric power generation, it can only be generated in places where the water flow is fast, not to mention wind power, which is only available all year round.

The utilization of various resources in later generations can be said to have reached its extreme.

The crowd exchanged some opinions, and someone stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the principle of power generation is nothing more than a coil rotating between two magnets. So in my humble opinion, it must be the sunlight shining on the water surface that generates water vapor that drives the coil to rotate, just like a steam engine."

"That makes sense. That should be the case."

"Not bad, not bad. Lord Hao has always been prudent in his work. This is the result of careful consideration and it is obviously not wrong."

"It makes sense."

Many people agreed, while Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, Hu Weiyong and others frowned and thought.

Hu Weiyong thought to himself that indeed the power generation principle mentioned by Tianmu was that the coil could generate electricity by rotating between two magnets.

At present, both hydroelectric power generation and thermal power generation use this principle. Or even wind power generation, which has not been tested, you can tell with a little thought that it uses this principle.

PV?

At present, the most likely possibility is the use of this principle.

However, the statement that "sunlight shining on the water surface produces water vapor" is probably biased.

Hu Weiyong glanced at His Majesty inconspicuously, but couldn't tell what His Majesty's emotion was, so he chose to remain silent.

The official who stood up couldn't help feeling proud as he listened to everyone's discussions, but since there was no response from His Majesty or His Highness, he plucked up the courage to glance at His Majesty, and happened to meet his calm eyes.

Hao Ren was shocked. Could it be that His Majesty did not agree with this statement? But this was also the closest explanation to the principle of power generation.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked him up and down, smiled and said, "Please sit down, Mr. Hao. What you said does make sense."

Then he looked at the people in the Science Department and asked, "Do you have any other opinions?"

This means that His Majesty does not agree with this explanation. As soon as Hao Ren sat down, his face turned red.
"I don't think so?" Someone from the Science Department immediately jumped out.

"Oh? What do you have in mind?"

"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, the conclusion that 'light shining on water produces steam that drives the machine to rotate' is really not in line with common sense."

Hao Ren looked at the young man from the Science Department and was about to stand up and scold him, but his old friend next to him pulled his clothes. He turned around and saw his old friend shaking his head imperceptibly, and then he woke up.
Your Majesty, this is specifically to support the Ministry of Science. After all, as the various subjects mentioned by Tianmu become more and more obscure and profound, this number of people is not enough.

You know, the current staff of the Science Department is supplemented by some students from the Imperial College, and they are still busy every day.

The Ministry of Science itself does not have much real power, and is certainly not attractive enough compared to the six ministries. Who among the six ministries would choose the Ministry of Science?

Your Majesty's move has demonstrated your attitude of importance, which has not only won the hearts of the scientific community, but also given more hesitant scholars hope. If this is done well, it will catch your Majesty's eye!

Isn't this a meteoric rise? If you honestly enter the six ministries and follow the seniority system, when will you be able to make your mark? Besides, the imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty have not been held yet, so who knows when they will be held.

I have walked into this embarrassing situation and I have to lose it anyway!

Hao Ren stroked his aching chest, his fat palm clenched into a fist: Lao Zhu, you are so mean!
The young man received the emperor's signal and continued, "Have you ever noticed how long it takes for a basin of water to evaporate in summer?"

The civil officials were still a little confused and cautious, and kept silent. The military officers were careless, saying, "It will take at least 1-2 hours."

"Yes, the evaporation efficiency of the water surface is so low when sunlight shines on it. How could it be that the evaporated water vapor drives the coil to rotate?"

"You mean the principle of photovoltaic power generation is different from that of hydroelectric power generation?"

The young man frowned and said seriously, "No, I just said that the conclusion that sunlight evaporates the water surface to form water vapor, which then drives the coil to rotate, is unreliable."

Seeing that the man was still trying to commit suicide, Hu Weiyong stepped out and interrupted him, "That makes sense. The evaporation efficiency is indeed much lower, far inferior to thermal power generation!"

Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded, confirming this statement. It was really that Hao Qing's explanation was too outrageous.
Finally, he summarized: "From now on, when discussing matters in front of the tent, regardless of official rank or status, everyone should speak freely and express their opinions." "Yes." Everyone agreed and took note.

"Let's put the photovoltaic power generation issue aside for now. The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Science must hurry up and build the steam engine for the skylight."

This was said to the people from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Science, so the people from the two departments agreed again.

During the Zhenguan period, Chang'an City.

Similar scenes are also taking place, but they are much more harmonious.

The most discussed ones are photovoltaic power generation, internal combustion engines and Dyson spheres.

He could understand how wind, water and fire generate electricity, but how did light generate electricity? Li Shimin stretched out his hand to feel the warm winter sunshine, but he still couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

There is also the internal combustion engine, which, according to Tianmu, should be more efficient than the steam engine.

We have no idea what a Dyson sphere is, so we can only keep it on record.

The sky screen switches, this time to a darker indoor scene.

[Man: It claims to know everything about astronomy and geography. Today I will test it on the world map. Find an island. Let me see it. This is it.]

【Man: Tmall Genie】

【Tmall Genie: I am here】

【Man: Socotra Island】

[Tmall Genie: Socotra Island is an archipelago in the western Indian Ocean. It belongs to the Socotra Province of YEMEN. It is located about 350 kilometers south of the Arabian Peninsula, east of the Horn of Africa, and at the junction of the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Aden. The archipelago consists of four islands with an area of ​​650 square kilometers and the main island area of ​​3635 square kilometers.]

During the Zhenguan period, Chang'an City.

Li Shimin looked at the sky. The scene was relatively dark at first. From the sky he could see a spherical world map and a long thing that looked like a white steamed bun?

However, there are numbers 17:49 on this long steamed bun, which is obviously the time, similar to the sundial of today?

Then Li Shimin looked at the man talking to himself, turned on the light of the world map, and then shouted "Tmall Genie".

Not only Li Shimin, but all the civil and military officials were dumbfounded!

"No, how can this white bun talk? Could it be a spirit?"

"."

"Speaking of which, shouldn't we focus on why it is so knowledgeable?" someone said weakly. After all, the man who did not show up on the sky curtain really picked a place at random for the Tmall Genie to guess, and he had never even heard of this island.

And they also saw that when the long white bun spoke, it showed various symbols, which looked a bit like human expressions.
"Could it be that a human soul is imprisoned in there?" A general also asked in a trembling voice, but everyone simply ignored this.
"What era is it now? You still believe in feudal society's stuff." Cheng Yaojin said disdainfully.

The general in front was somewhat embarrassed by the retort. He glanced at Cheng Yaojin with a smile and swallowed back what he wanted to say: "Doesn't feudal society include our Tang Dynasty?"

During the Hongwu period, Jinling City.

Xu Da was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up. Yun Gong would definitely like this thing.

Who doesn’t like a talking bun? And when it talks, it has all kinds of expressions, especially this ￣︶￣. Xu Da felt his heart melted by its cuteness.

The people from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Science had different expressions. The people from the Ministry of Industry looked embarrassed. The Minister of Industry An Ran thought to himself: "It's over. What if His Majesty and His Highness are bewitched by this raccoon? I really can't do it. Or you should just fire me."

Zhu Biao, who was mature beyond his years, had a gleaming look in his eyes: "Dad, this is the Sky Tmall Elf who knows everything about astronomy and geography!?"

"Tmall Genie?" The name was rather strange, but once Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down, he saw the wires: "This thing uses electricity."

Many people saw the wires extending from the fuselage and knew that what His Majesty said was true.

"What's the principle behind this?" The people from the Science Department were scratching their heads anxiously, trying to figure it out.

【Man: Tmall Genie】

【Tmall Genie: I am here】

【Man: Ascension Island】

[Tmall Genie: Ascension Island is a British overseas territory located in the South Atlantic Ocean. The entire territory includes an archipelago and several affiliated reefs. It is administratively affiliated with the St. Clare Colony, and its capital is Georgetown.]

Then the man on the sky curtain turned the map a few times and randomly mentioned a few places, which were completely unrelated. However, no matter how much he asked, the long white bun voice, although it was a girl's voice, was still steady and confident.

Hexing Tea and Snack Shop.

The naughty child Fang Bi's eyes lit up: "Dad, I want to"

His father interrupted him directly: "You want to be beaten, right?"

"."

Shopkeeper Wan smiled when he heard this and said, "I want it too."
Damn, Tianmu mentioned many objects, such as hot plates, light bulbs, electric water heaters, rice cookers, etc.
According to his intuition about the market, every item is a hot-selling product, but the materials are hard to find.

If the above products are considered hot-selling products, then this Tmall Genie is his favorite. A three-legged frog is easy to find, but where can you find a talking bun?

In fact, it was not just Shopkeeper Wan, but all the bosses of the various businesses in Jinling City who had some power were eager to get one. What a good thing, and what a nice name! !
