When the Academy of Sciences was founded, the Hanlin Academy often ridiculed others.
Now that I had just been slapped in the face, I took the initiative to come to the door, and I was inevitably ridiculed by others.
As the saying goes, the world is full of reincarnation, no one will be spared by heaven...
Tong Xuan sighed secretly in his heart. Now that things have happened, I can’t blame him. If he is angry, he can just bear with it!
"I would like to ask if there are any colleagues in the Academy of Sciences who specialize in the study of electricity?"
"Electricity?"
The man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "There is no such topic at the moment."
Tong Xuan was a little surprised, why didn't you laugh at me?
"Excuse me, which colleague compiled the Encyclopedia of Natural Sciences?"
"That's a lot, but the article about electricity was written by Bachelor Bei himself."
"Oh?"
Tong Xuan asked again: "Excuse me, where is Bachelor Bei now?"
"I'm in the East Palace, assisting the emperor in researching light steam engines."
"Steamed...chicken?"
"It is a light steam engine, because the first generation steam engine was too bulky and could not be applied to trains and ships, so it needs to be improved."
Tong Xuan didn't understand, so he had to say: "I have learned a lesson."
The other party nodded, then turned and left.
Tong Xuan walked out of the gate of the Academy of Sciences and suddenly realized, that's wrong, why don't you laugh at me?
He looked back and took another look. Everyone looked in a hurry, as if they had no time to pay attention to him.
Returning to the Hanlin Academy, the surroundings immediately turned into a leisurely state. Drinking tea, chatting, holding a history book and discussing the past and present, it was completely different from the tense and busy atmosphere of the Academy of Sciences.
Tong Xuan came to his apartment and picked up a historical material of the Han Dynasty, but he couldn't read it.
Throughout the morning, he was thinking about electricity.
Electricity, what exactly is it?
At noon, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he walked out of the Hanlin Academy and came to the East Palace.
Fan Zhong stepped forward to stop him and asked, "What are you doing?"
"The Hanlin Academy edited Tong Xuan and asked to see Bachelor Bei about something."
"Scholar Bei is busy right now, I'm afraid it's inconvenient!"
Tong Xuan thought for a while and said, "Can I wait here?"
Imperial guard Fan Zhong looked at him up and down, and said dissatisfiedly: "Is your Hanlin Academy full of food? It is always difficult to get along with other people's Academy of Sciences. Is it because you lost in the competition yesterday and you are not convinced?"
"Um..."
Tong Xuan is very aggrieved, I haven’t eaten yet!
"I have some scientific questions, and I would like to see Mr. Bei for advice in person."
"Questions for advice?"
Fan Zhong looked at him doubtfully and asked, "What's the problem?"
"About the problem of electricity."
"I know this. Thunder struck when it rained, and didn't it kill several people yesterday?"
Fan Zhong has quite a say in the power of thunder and lightning.
He cut the copper wire with a knife, causing an explosion. Thinking about it afterwards, he was still terrified.
Tong Xuan smiled and said: "I'm..."
As he was talking, voices came from the door, getting closer and closer.
"Just follow this model, find skilled craftsmen, and build a finished product as soon as possible!"
Tong Xuan was shocked and hurriedly prostrated: "I'm a humble minister, please bow to your Majesty!"
"Free gifts!"
Zhu Qizhen was talking to Beilin. When he saw this person, he said hello casually and walked over.
Beilin listened attentively, nodding her head, holding a small notebook in her hand, and kept recording.
"Send a copy of the drawing to the Navigation College. Shipboard steam engines are different. They can make improvements based on this drawing according to actual needs..."
Halfway through Zhu Qizhen's words, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned around suddenly and asked, "Who are you?"
Tong Xuan was startled and hurriedly saluted and said: "Wei Chen, Tong Xuan of the Hanlin Academy, come and see me"
Your Majesty!"
Zhu Qizhen nodded and asked, "Why are you following me?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Wei Chen... Wei Chen wanted to ask Academician Bei for advice, but he saw that Academician Bei was busy with his affairs, so, so..."
Beilin asked in confusion: "What do you want from me?"
Tong Xuan hurriedly said: "The students read the encyclopedia compiled by the Academy of Sciences yesterday and benefited a lot. At the same time, they also have many questions. I wonder if Bachelor Bei can... give me some advice?"
Beilin asked again: "Any questions?"
"Mainly the chapter about electricity. Students don't understand. Since electricity exists naturally and can be seen during thunder, where is it usually hidden? It is also said that there are electric fish in the deep sea. Fish are mortal bodies. How can they discharge electricity? If
Fish can discharge electricity, so can people also discharge electricity? Yesterday, in front of Fengtian Hall, students saw with their own eyes that electricity can be directed. The skin, hair, beards, and clothes of those colleagues were all burnt. In this way, electricity
Can it generate heat just like fire? If so, how to use it?"
Tong Xuan was afraid that people would have no time to talk to him, so when he got the chance, he would pour out all the questions in his heart like beans from a bamboo tube.
Bei Lin was stunned for a moment, and for a moment, she didn't know how to answer.
Zhu Qizhen showed a long-lost smile and asked, "Did you just say that you were from the Hanlin Academy?"
Tong Xuan hurriedly saluted and said: "Weichen is the 15th among the top two in this year's palace examination. He has been admitted to the Hanlin Academy by divine grace and served as Hanlin's editor."
"Beilene!"
Zhu Qizhen suddenly said: "Immediately issue a transfer letter and transfer this person to the Academy of Sciences!"
Beilin wondered: "What are you going to do at the Academy of Sciences?"
"Study electricity!"
Zhu Qizhen waved to Tong Xuan and asked, "Have you eaten?"
Tong Xuan shook his head: "Not yet."
"Let's go have dinner with me!"
"Huh?"
Tong Xuan stood there, dumbfounded.
Fan Zhong pushed him from behind: "The emperor invites you to dinner, so hurry up and follow him!"
Tong Xuan was a little overwhelmed and hurried to follow.
As Zhu Qizhen walked, he asked: "Have you read any books about natural science before?"
Hearing this, Tong Xuan looked a little guilty and said: "Back to the emperor, there is no..."
Before that, the so-called natural sciences in his mind were just tricks and tricks, and he didn't bother to read them at all.
"So, the series of questions you just raised were all inspired by yesterday's thoughts?"
"Back to the emperor, that's right!"
"Well, not bad!"
Zhu Qizhen nodded and said to Beilin: "I'll leave this person to you. Send him a research team immediately to study electricity!"
Bei Lin saluted and said: "I will do it now."
Tong Xuan looked flattered, but didn't know what to do.
Beilin whispered beside him: "The chapter about electricity in the book was written by the emperor himself. If you have any questions, why don't you go and ask the Pope to speak to you?"
Tong Xuan looked shocked and said quickly: "Thank you, Bachelor Bei, for your advice!"
At this moment, he was greatly shocked. He didn't expect that the emperor knew so many things!
Moreover, I just raised a few questions and was transferred to the Academy of Sciences, where I was given a research group.
This is a great trust!
Thinking of this, he felt a surge of emotion in his heart.
From then on, my life was in danger of being electrocuted.
If you don’t develop a Chou Yin Mao, you can just pull a copper wire and electrocute yourself to death!
