"Wu! Let me introduce you to Mr. Franklin from the North American territory of the empire. He may be able to answer your questions!" George enthusiastically introduced a fat man of medium height to Wu Sangui.

"Hello! Mr. Franklin, nice to meet you." Wu Sangui has been dealing with the British for a long time, and his speech is becoming more and more British.

The North American Territory of the British Empire was a very fertile place. It is said that cotton, corn, and rubber were grown in large areas there. Of course, the local white people still made a living by farming and doing business. Naturally, those menial jobs

There were trafficked black slaves to do it.

"I heard from Mr. George that you have some ideas about the application of electricity. I would like to see it." Franklin saluted Wu Sangui, because Wu Sangui was a person with a title.

"This is it!" Wu Sangui took out the drawing that he finally obtained. On it was an iron pillar wrapped tightly with copper wire.

"People in the Ming Dynasty called this thing a motor. Electricity passing through this thing can make the iron column rotate. This can drive heavy things, such as cannonballs on warships. With this thing, our warships can build bigger cannons.

It can fire artillery shells with larger calibers." Wu Sangui didn't understand this thing at all, but he got some information through inside lines. He really wanted to find experts in this field in the UK through George. He hoped for the stars and the moon, and finally the experts came.

.

Franklin took out a pair of glasses from his pocket, put them on, and then carefully examined the hand-drawn sketch.

The drawings are very sloppy, and there are square characters in some places. Franklin guessed that these should be the characters of the Ming Dynasty.

"You said this thing is copper?" Franklin asked, pointing to the dense circle of things.

"Yes! It's made of copper wires. I don't understand how this thing works, but I know that the Ming army used this thing as power to lift very heavy artillery shells. If we can also build this thing, our

Warships can fire shells of the same caliber as the Ming Dynasty, or even larger!" Wu Sangui looked at Franklin with hope in his eyes.

He dreams of having a cannon as powerful as the Ming Dynasty! And electricity seems to be more than capable of doing this.

"In the North American territory, I invented a lightning rod. Because I discovered that there is electrical energy in the clouds in the sky. When positive and negative electricity meet, a powerful flash and explosion will occur. This phenomenon is called lightning.

Thunder.

Through an iron rod and a copper wire, lightning can be led underground. This can prevent buildings at a certain height from being struck by lightning! However, we have not yet discovered how the reliable power supply comes from.

I can do research through the drawing you provided, but if you can't provide more information, it will be difficult for me to come up with this thing in a short time." Franklin took off his glasses and shook his head helplessly.

"I got the drawings of this motor after a lot of hard work. I heard that the power generation devices are manufactured by different manufacturers. Then they are taken to Changxing Island for assembly. Those manufacturers don't know what they are doing.

It is basically impossible to get the drawings of the power generation device.

I can only send people to find ways to inquire, hoping to get useful information for you. Before that, the only things that are helpful to you are the scattered things recorded in this notebook. I hope it is helpful to you!" After listening!

Wu Sangui's eyes darkened at Franklin's words.

I finally hired an expert, but I didn't expect that he couldn't understand it either.

According to the information revealed by insiders, Li Xiao drew drawings and told the researchers about the principles of these things. In the end, the researchers completed the production and then began to promote them.

Li Xiao, Li Xiao! How does this head grow? How come he can do everything!

"Mr. Wu, please allocate some laboratories to me and manufacture some experimental equipment according to my requirements. I will start work tomorrow. As long as you have further information, I believe we will be able to create this thing called a motor.

"Franklin was extremely obsessed with electrodes, and he was the first to propose the idea that electricity can separate positive and negative poles.

I thought it was the world's leader, but I didn't expect that someone in the far east could actually start generating electricity and use it as power.

No one knows the role of electricity better than Franklin. In his opinion, the impact of electricity on mankind will be all-round.

"That's no problem. I hope you can get the motor out as soon as possible. In this way, our ships can be equipped with larger-caliber artillery."

Having no choice but to send Franklin off, Wu Sangui drooped his head. After fighting with the Ming Dynasty for many years, the Ming Dynasty became increasingly difficult for him to understand. I heard from the people sent to the Ming Dynasty that the capital now uses electric lights. At night, all he needs to do is turn on the lights.

If you pull the rope, a thing called a lightbulb will light up on top of your head. It is said to be brighter than ten giant butter candles.

Li Xiao! All this comes from Li Xiao! Sometimes Wu Sangui wonders if Li Xiao is a human being.

"Wu! Don't be discouraged. The last time mines severely damaged the Ming fleet and sank three of their armored ships, it was considered revenge for Drake. Now the shipyard is operating at full capacity, and there will be a super ship in two months.

The ironclad ship was launched. The heavily damaged USS Hood will soon be repaired. Together with the warships built by other shipyards, we will have four ironclad ships this fall.

Moreover, the newly built ironclads are more advanced than those lost by Drake. Don’t be afraid! We have the support of resources from India and the Middle East, as well as the doctoral teams from Oxford and Cambridge, everything will be fine.” George patted Wu Sangui.

shoulder to cheer up the slightly decadent Wu Sangui.

"Have you heard? Li Xiao has begun to attack the Western Region. Once he takes over the entire Western Region, he will attack southward through Afghanistan, and then India will be threatened. The city of Xinjiapo must be defeated before that.

Otherwise, we will just wait and get out of India."

"Things are not that bad. I think the newly formed Indian divisions are not bad. Especially the Gorko Division, which is composed entirely of Nepalese Gurkos, fought very bravely. It was only thanks to them that we settled the matter a few days ago.

We have defeated several rebel states in the north. Even if Li Xiao comes in person with the Ming army, he will not be able to get any benefits."

"Having said that, I'm still a little worried."

"Oh! Let me tell you good news. Dr. Watt has made new progress. He has developed a gasoline engine that uses gasoline as fuel to generate power. Although it is not yet mature, the research will be very promising. I think you

You should take a look.”
