Xu Mochen felt that everyone's expressions were strange, so he didn't think much about it and followed Fang Mingying's words: "It's almost the same, but not as powerful as lightning.
The energy of lightning is about 1 billion joules. If converted into electricity, it is almost 280 degrees."
Now, the electricity consumption of any household for several months.
Everyone was collectively stunned.
Only then did Xu Mochen realize that he was getting ahead of himself. He coughed and said, "To put it simply, this electricity can be used in many ways.
For example, have you seen waterwheels? They are now needed for farmland irrigation, and some require people to step on them to turn them.
But if it is an electric waterwheel, it can automatically rotate as long as it is powered on.
Just think of it as a kind of energy."
Everyone is unaware of the severity.
The Fang brothers and sisters studied under the master Linglong Pavilion and have unparalleled dexterity in the world. Many hidden weapons and precision instruments are made by them. Whenever they see something novel, they look at it carefully.
As for what electricity is, His Majesty has explained it. If you don’t understand, you have to pretend to understand.
Otherwise, what will happen to His Majesty’s face?
Then everyone suddenly realized, Duan Bailian nodded frequently: "Your Majesty, this electricity is a good thing."
Xu Mochen didn't answer. He was a little embarrassed by the horse photo.
"Your Majesty, as long as we use this thing, we can create electricity." Fang Minghang asked.
"This can only be used for your initial experiments," Xu Mochen's heart is not that big yet. After all, this is just replaced with "Teleportation Dao Fruit" and is not considered a high-end product. "You must first understand its principle." p>
He did not intend to popularize the knowledge of physics. After traveling through time and ascending the throne, he was busy unifying the world. Newton Ampere had long been lost to a foreign world.
The principle of this generator is actually to use the electromagnetic effect to make the metal coil move to cut the magnetic wire, forming an electric potential difference, which is converted into current.
To make the metal coil move, other power is needed, such as hand push, water power, wind power, steam piston, etc.
Xu Mochen has roughly studied it, so it can be said to be easy to understand.
But even if this ring armature generator is running, its power is very small.
Xu Mochen is not entangled. What is more important is to let people around him understand how the machine works.
"There are three problems to be solved," Xu Mochen finished the basic explanation and began to summarize, "One is this coil. At present, whether the copper coil can be smelted and manufactured."
Duan Bailian carefully touched it several times: "Your Majesty, the copper wire can be pulled by a winch to gradually lengthen and shape it, but ordinary people estimate that it cannot be pulled so thin."
"It doesn't have to be so detailed," Xu Mochen shook his head, "You may not have heard clearly, but the generator I want to make is about ten times the size of this."
Duan Bailian was shocked: "It's so big, it's almost the same as a room."
Xu Mochen nodded, this is considered too small. You haven't been to a power plant yet: "It means that we need to expand the entire component according to a certain proportion."
Duan Bailian mused: "It can be done. The common people will immediately think of a way to make a similar one when they get back.
It’s just this coil, how do you put it together..."
"I'll do it," Fang Minghang volunteered, "Your Majesty, I will disassemble it one by one and study it. Now it seems that the seams in some places are very different."
Xu Mochen couldn't help but admire him. As expected of someone from Linglong Pavilion, he had a unique vision: "This is welding technology, and we haven't mastered it yet."
The people here, the Fang brothers and sisters, knew about the existence of immortal cultivators, but due to the presence of other human races, he did not delve into this topic.
It is estimated that His Majesty got it from some powerful immortal cultivator, thinking of introducing the technology into the mortal world.
He is worthy of being the emperor of the human race, caring about the country and the people.
"Then Mr. Duan needs to pay more attention when pouring, including forging. I'm afraid more manpower will be needed." Fang Minghang thought of a solution.
"The first one, I didn't think about how durable it would be," Xu Mochen was very relaxed, "First put the power on.
And machines that use electricity are developed. In the future, electricity can be used to make steel, getting twice the result with half the effort."
Duan Bailian also became interested. This electricity can also make steel.
"The second problem is the magnet. What you see so far is the magnet itself," Xu Mochen pointed, "but what we want to make is a large generator. Natural magnets that are too big may not be found in Daqian.
.
Even if it is found, the energy efficiency cannot keep up, so this needs to be changed to electromagnet mode.
As for the details of the modification, I will provide it when the time comes."
The last remaining problem is the electric wires and lights.
Putting the light on temporarily is the way to use it, but the wires must be resolved.
"Essentially it's a copper core, and then it's wrapped with an insulator like rubber or plastic." Xu Mochen gestured.
No one has any idea about insulators.
"It's something that can block the flow of electricity." Xu Mochen knew that there was no rubber plastic in this world, so he could only give an example, "I will do a simple experiment."
Understanding electricity is actually very fast. Friction produces static electricity, which is completely stress-free for him.
After the performance, everyone felt incredible.
It cannot be seen or touched, but it exists.
"Your Majesty," Fang Minghang said his opinion, "Wouldn't it be okay to wrap a copper core with wood or something like that?"
"No, one is difficult to bend," Xu Mochen shook his head, "the other has a low ignition point and is easy to catch fire."
"Where's the fire paint?" Fang Mingying asked.
"The direction is right, but the ignition point of the fire paint is lower." Xu Mochen still shook his head.
I thought, if rubber is not easy to explain, rubber trees can.
"It's a kind of tree. When you cut a hole, a thick white liquid will flow out," Xu Mochen tried hard to explain, "That's natural rubber liquid."
Everyone frowned, they had never heard of this thing.
"Sir," Zhao Yuheng stepped forward after hearing this, "I used to follow my master and spent some time in the southern states of Daqian. There is indeed a kind of tree there that will ooze white liquid after being cut, and there is a lot of it.
As for whether it is the rubber tree you mentioned, I will have someone check it out."
Xu Mochen smiled: "The high probability is that it does not exist in the cold regions of the east, west, north, and most of them can only grow in the southern region."
When there is a possibility, there is hope.
After discussing the details, Xu Mochen left the generator at the research institute.
Even if there is a finished product, it is still not easy to imitate it and expand the scale more than ten times.
Experts like the Fang brothers and sisters also need to study again and again.
After the matter was settled, Xu Mochen returned to the imperial study.
This step is very critical and directly affects the starting point of Daqian mortals.
There is a big gap between the steam age and the electrical age.
He took a breath and heard an emergency report coming from outside.
There is news from Tang Derun.
Xu Mochen asked the embroiderer to come in, and after receiving the letter, he extracted the information.
According to the news, Tang Derun and his party have arrived near Tianyi Temple, and there is nothing unusual for the time being.
But he mentioned that his whereabouts should not be hidden from the immortal cultivators in the capital, and Xu Mochen needed to pay attention.
"Tianyi Temple." Xu Mochen pulled up the map and his eyes fell on a mountain peak near the capital.
