"The principle of a generator is probably like this. Among them, the power of the generator includes coal, gasoline, diesel, etc.!"
Lin Fan explained.
When he mentioned gasoline and diesel, Lin Fan was also stunned. He seemed to have nothing to do. These people didn't know what gasoline or diesel was, so they must ask themselves.
"kindness?
Your Highness, we all know about coal, but what are these gasoline and diesel?"
Gao Tianyun asked.
"Ahem! To put it simply, gasoline is a kind of fuel, and diesel is also a kind of fuel. These two substances are refined from the same substance!"
"Our Ming Dynasty currently does not have the technology to refine these two substances. You create a generator first, and then I will send people to find this substance and let you study the method of refining it."
Lin Fan coughed twice and said.
"That's it! Our Ming Dynasty does have a lot of things, but we don't know how to refine them!"
One person said.
"Your Highness, the principle of this generator is very complicated. If we were to make it, it would probably take several years!"
Someone said.
Gao Tianyun said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, don't worry, we will do our best to do this!"
Lin Fandao: "I recruited a talent some time ago, named Xing Fengchu. This person is proficient in mathematics. I will ask him to come to the Ministry of Industry to help you!"
"In terms of making generators, you may not be one-third as good as him, so you must learn with an open mind!"
"Your Highness, do you really have such a talent?"
Gao Tianyun asked in shock.
"This is natural. Can I still lie to you?"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, if this person is really a talent, we will definitely learn from him humbly!"
Gao Tianyun and others assured.
After instructing the household department to do these things, Lin Fan left directly. Next, he would find a spacious place outside the city and build another venue.
This place is naturally a place where glass is produced, which is the basis of light bulbs!
Because of the knowledge from his previous life, Lin Fan knew that only tungsten filament was the most suitable filament for light bulbs. However, tungsten metal was relatively rare.
Even today's Ming Dynasty does not have much reserves, and the exterior of the light bulb also requires aluminum and copper, which are relatively rare materials.
This further illustrates that the Ming Dynasty must quickly abolish copper coins and silver as currency and replace them with paper money!
"Your Highness, according to your instructions, I have purchased a large amount of sand. However, why don't I know what this kind of thing is used for?"
Hong Rulong came to Lin Fan's side and asked in a deep voice.
He is the leader of the Beggar Clan, and at the same time, he is also the general manager of Shunlu Express Company. Lin Fan entrusts him with many of his external affairs.
"If these sands are exposed to high temperatures of several thousand degrees, they can melt, and if they solidify again, they will turn into transparent glass!"
"This thing is of great use to me. You must find some professionals to do it and make it according to this shape and size!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice and handed Hong Rulong a blueprint.
This is a drawing he drew based on the size of the light bulbs in his previous life, because he has to ensure that the error of each light bulb cannot be too large. Therefore, the probability of this light bulb being defective will be extremely high!
However, as the manufacturing process matures, the yield of light bulbs will slowly increase, and at worst they will just cost more in the early stages.
Hong Rulong frowned when he saw the shape Lin Fan asked him to make, and said: "Your Highness, this thing is like an egg with a hole in it. It cannot drink water, and it cannot hold anything in it. What's the use of it?"
Hong Rulong was still puzzled, and Lin Fan didn't bother to explain to him, saying: "Just follow this, you can do more, and after a while, a new batch of cars will be handed over to you!"
"That's great! Your Highness, let's drop by the express delivery company. Recently, there are more and more orders. Because our prices are cheap, all the goods that were originally delivered to the escort agency come to us!"
Hong Rulong said excitedly.
"Haha! This is a normal thing. We have a car and the transportation cost is much lower than theirs. However, we have to be careful recently to avoid being hijacked by gangsters!"
"Also, improve the quality of employees. If anyone is found to dare to steal customers' items, they will be punished and will not be tolerated!"
Lin Fan said coldly.
"Yes! Your Highness, I heard that you are in urgent need of 200,000 pieces of cotton-padded clothes. We need to handle them. We have courier companies along the way and have cooperated with many businessmen!"
Hong Rulong said in a deep voice.
"Haha! Your suggestion is very good. Given the current situation, most people have prepared cotton-padded clothes for the winter. If you buy them at this time, it will not affect the price of cotton-padded clothes!"
"Let's do this, you buy 100,000 pieces first, and I'll let others prepare the rest!"
Lin Fan said with a smile.
As for who would prepare the remaining 100,000 pieces, it was naturally Wang Siliang who was far away in Guizhou. This guy should have been executed long ago, but Lin Fan didn't take action at that time!
Keep him just for today!
This person was able to maintain 50,000 elite soldiers in Guizhou Prefecture, which shows that he had a lot of money-making methods and must have had many contacts with merchants.
On the same day, Lin Fan sent someone to Guizhou Prefecture to inform Wang Siliang of this situation.
When Wang Siliang heard that Lin Fan asked him to buy another 100,000 cotton-padded clothes, he was so angry that he smashed all the tables, chairs and benches!
"Damn it! It's so abominable! Who does the prince think I am?"
Soft persimmon?
No! Is it softer than a soft persimmon?"
"You actually asked me to prepare another 100,000 cotton-padded clothes for him. Where can I go to dress him up?"
Wang Siliang said angrily.
The official on the side said solemnly: "Master Wang, His Highness the Crown Prince seems to have not said that it is not allowed to buy within the territory of the Ming Dynasty this time!"
"Well! What you said gave me a heads up. Since you can buy it in the Ming Dynasty, you should hurry up and prepare it!"
"One hundred thousand cotton-padded clothes, we need to buy a lot of them. Otherwise, the prince will definitely use this as an excuse to find fault with us!"
Wang Siliang said in a deep voice.
"Master Wang, there is no way we can continue like this!"
One person said in a deep voice.
"kindness?
What else do you want to do?
Annan Kingdom was defeated and the 50,000 elite soldiers were gone, so what use are the 20,000 to 30,000 city defenders we have now?"
Wang Siliang said angrily.
"Ahem! Mr. Wang, don't you think that His Highness the Crown Prince keeps asking us to prepare supplies for him, is it actually because of you?"
The official coughed twice and said.
They are not fools. There were so many state capitals in the Ming Dynasty, but Lin Fan just asked them to prepare supplies in Guizhou. This meaning couldn't be more obvious!
This is forcing Wang Siliang to return to Beijing, and for them, it is indeed not a good thing for Wang Siliang to stay here.
