Tong Xuan no longer cared about the glass cover that he had worked so hard for and rushed forward. 駧
There was thick smoke and flames rising into the sky in the electrical power laboratory. Many people were putting out the fire.
This house is mostly made of wooden structure. If it catches fire, it will be difficult to put out the fire due to the wind.
Click——
However, the beams were burned out, a corner of the roof collapsed, and the bricks and tiles fell to the floor.
Tong Xuan was about to cry without tears. He didn't care about the fire at the moment and rushed in with his head in his hands.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Someone immediately stopped him, but Tong Xuan almost went crazy and shouted: "Let me go in!"
"Are you crazy? This kind of fire is going to kill you?"
"Let me go, I..."
Tong Xuan was being dragged tightly and could not break away no matter what. He was anxious and angry. He felt his blood surge, his vision went dark, and he fainted to the ground.
"Someone fainted, hurry, hurry!"
At this time, several members of the medical research team ran over and started to rescue him.
"Scholar Xia is here!"
I don’t know who shouted, and everyone immediately made way. 駧
A young Hanlin came over, knelt down, put his head on Tong Xuan's chest, listened for a moment, and said, "The heartbeat is normal, it should just be syncope."
This person's name is Xia Ying, and she is the leader of the medical research team. The medical team and the electric power team are the closest. When they saw the fire here, everyone ran out to put out the fire.
"Get a basin of cold water!"
Xia Ying gave the order, and someone immediately ran to a nearby water tank and brought back a basin of water.
Wow!
The rescue method is very simple and rough.
A basin of cold water was poured on his head, and Tong Xuan suddenly woke up. 駧
He sat up, looked around blankly, and murmured: "Where are you, what happened?"
Then, when he saw Xia Ying, he asked: "Xiaoshi Xia, why are you here?"
Xia Ying thought for a while and said: "Brother Tong was so anxious that he fainted. The laboratory is destroyed and can be rebuilt. If the body collapses..."
"Ah?"
Tong Xuan finally remembered that the laboratory was on fire and the prince was still inside!
He turned over and jumped up, about to rush in, but was stopped again.
"Brother Tong, what are you doing? The fire is too strong and it is difficult to save..." 駧
"Let me go!"
Tong Xuan's heart was filled with despair, as if he had already seen his own end...
"Master Tong, what's wrong with you?"
A childish voice sounded in his ears, and the people around him hardly paid much attention to it. However, in Tong Xuan's ears, this voice was like a bolt from the blue, and like being bathed in the spring breeze.
He slowly turned his head, and then he saw that face that made people both love and hate him.
"Your Highness, are you... okay?"
Zhu Jianshen shook his head and said: "I run fast, it's okay!" 駧
At this time, when people around heard that the child was a prince, they hurriedly paid tribute.
Zhu Jianshen also returned the gift in a decent manner. Tong Xuan, as if he had been given a new lease of life, pulled Zhu Jianshen up and said, "Your Highness, this is dangerous, you should stay away."
"Master Tong, your equipment..."
"No more!"
"But... didn't you say that those devices cost you a lot of effort..."
Tong Xuan waved his hand and said feebly: "We'll just deal with it later."
Zhu Jianshen nodded as if he understood something, and then said: "Master Tong, that thing you made is so magical. Just turn it and it will burst into flames." 駧
"Ah?"
Tong Xuan stopped and asked doubtfully: "Your Highness, what did you say...fire came out?"
"It's that shelf with a circle of copper wire on it..."
Zhu Jianshen said and gestured.
Tong Xuan suddenly became anxious: "Didn't I tell you, don't move!"
Zhu Jianshen curled his lips and said: "I didn't move, I just..."
"Just what?" 駧
"Just turned around..."
"What was transferred?"
"That handle!"
Tong Xuan thought for a while and asked: "Is it the stick in the middle of the coil and a magnet on it?"
"Is it a magnet?"
Zhu Jianshen scratched his head and said: "I don't know what it is, but I can turn it when I see it, and then..."
"Then what?" 駧
"Then there was a fire."
Tong Xuan had doubts in his eyes and asked: "Your Highness, please tell me clearly where the fire started?"
Zhu Jianshen replied neatly: "Coil!"
"How could a coil catch fire?"
Tong Xuan shook his head, looking noncommittal.
Because the coil is made of copper, I have never heard that copper can burn.
"It's just a coil, with a layer of cloth on top..." 駧
After hearing Zhu Jianshen's explanation, Tong Xuan suddenly understood that it was the cotton yarn on the coil!
Although he didn't understand why the emperor asked him to wrap a layer of cotton yarn around the coil, he still did it.
At the same time, another question came to his mind: Why does the cotton yarn on the coil catch fire when the magnet is turned?
This is a question worthy of further investigation!
According to historical records, humans first used sky fire, which was to strike trees with lightning, causing forest fires, and then carry the fire back to the caves.
Later, Suiren invented the method of drilling wood to make fire. From then on, humans no longer relied on God for using fire.
Today, the methods of making fire have become fire sickles and flints. The two strike sparks and ignite the tinder, thus obtaining fire.
There is also a kind of fire seal, which is to burn mugwort, cotton and other materials until they are translucent and then flame out and seal them. When you need to use fire, you only need to open a hole to let air flow in, and it can quickly rekindle.
It looks like it can ignite just by blowing it, but in fact, it is burned inside.
No matter what, if you want to start a fire, you cannot do without flint.
Tong Xuan's brain was racing because he thought of those old academics from the Hanlin Academy who, in order to prove the absurdity of the Academy of Sciences, did not hesitate to use their own bodies to provoke thunder. In the end, five died and one was injured. How could it be so tragic?
He noticed at that time that those who were electrocuted and injured were all burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.
In other words, to a certain extent, electricity, like fire, can burn the human body, and in severe cases can cause death.
Moreover, the energy of electricity seems to be greater, and the whole process is completed in an instant. 駧
Flame is a slow process, just like boiling water in a steam furnace. You have to continuously add coal and heat it bit by bit before the water can finally be boiled.
According to Zhu Jianshen's description, the cotton yarn wrapped around the copper wire suddenly caught fire. Could it be that electricity appeared in the copper wire?
Does this mean that the experiment was successful?
His mood was very complicated, both excited and hesitant.
Excitedly, electricity appeared in the copper wire, which showed that my research was in the right direction.
At the same time, he was full of doubts, because he really couldn't figure out how these electricity appeared?
In his understanding, nothing in the world can appear out of thin air.
Just like fire, it requires the burning of wood or coal. When the fuel is exhausted, the fire disappears.
However, electricity seems to appear out of thin air, which is confusing.
