Steel Dynasty - Chapter 805

[Chapter 804 Electric Power Progress]

Bright eyes shine on the spacious streets of Qingzhou.

After rejecting the pretentious petitions of King Yong and King Huainan to resign and return home, he and Qian Dafu, dressed in plain clothes, rode a carriage to Qingzhou University.

This incident seemed to be caused by officials, but there were obviously also the efforts of King Yong and King Huainan behind it.

Now they were obviously very scared. A strong emperor would undoubtedly be a disaster for the vassal king, so they would test Xiao Ming’s attitude.

Xiao Ming didn’t take this episode seriously, because for him, neither King Yong nor King Huainan was enough to be called a threat, and they could naturally be resolved using peaceful means.

Compared with this matter, what he is most interested in is the education issue of Dayu Country. Now Dayu Country has entered the era of steam industry. With this foundation and the corresponding technology, Dayu Country can move towards a better future in science and technology. high direction.

And the most important thing is that he is vaguely worried now. It will be seven years after he enters this world. There are still several seven years left in a person’s life. He doesn’t want to leave any regrets in another life.

If he does not make full use of the technology crystal, most of the technology in the technology crystal will probably be buried with him, which is not what he wants to see, not to mention that the technology crystal also contains black technology.

As a builder of civilization, it would be a failure if he could not fully realize technology. Because of this consideration, he decided to improve the development of technology as soon as possible.

After all, in the past, the industrial foundation was poor, and he had no technology but could not realize it. But now, all conditions are mature, and the only difference is his technological knowledge.

Thinking about these all the way, the group arrived at Qingzhou University.

At this time, Chao Zhengwen was already waiting for him. As the chief cultural and educational officer of Dayu State, he had been working in the Ministry of Culture and Education next to Qingzhou University.

“Your Majesty, Lin Wentao, Lu Tong and a group of elite students are waiting for you in the university hall.” Chao Zhengwen looked excited.

Emperors of all dynasties have never given lectures in person. Their emperor set a precedent, which made their Ministry of Culture and Education look good.

Xiao Ming smiled. The university hall is now filled with the best students from the Great Chongqing Kingdom in the past seven years. Now these students have mastered basic scientific and technological theories, and it can be said that their scientific literacy is already very high.

Because of this, they could easily understand what he was saying.

“That’s very good. I have an idea. From now on, this great hall will be renamed the Emperor’s School. Only the best students can enter the school. All students who attend classes in the school will be the Emperor’s disciples.” Xiao Ming told Chao Zhengwen said.

“It is a great privilege to be able to listen to the emperor’s teachings. The veterans are also very envious. These students are so happy to know about it.” Chao Zhengwen bowed and smiled.

Xiao Ming nodded and followed Chao Zhengwen to the university hall, where more than 500 people were waiting for him.

Seeing Xiao Ming, all the students in the school stood up and bowed and said, “See you, Your Majesty.”

Walking up to the podium, Xiao Ming evened his hands and said, “Without courtesy, now that you have entered the school, you and I shall be masters and disciples. Rather than being a monarch, I hope you will not be afraid of seeking knowledge because of my imperial dignity.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Lin Wentao and Lu Tong looked at each other excitedly.

Although they were the best students at Cheongju University, they knew very well that they were nothing compared to Xiao Ming.

The ministers may have reverenced the emperor because of their fear of imperial power, but they admired him because of his science.

On weekdays, they also like to listen to Xiao Ming’s lectures the most. Every time there is something they don’t understand, just a few words from Xiao Ming can make them suddenly understand.

More than 500 people sat down, and Xiao Ming said: “It’s still the old rule. This time you ask questions about what you have learned, and I will answer them in detail.”

Since there were a total of 500 people who came to the school this time, and among these 500 people, What they learned was complex, so he could not give unified lectures. He could only answer their confusion in their studies by asking questions and provide detailed explanations of some difficult points.

As soon as he finished speaking, a student suddenly stood up and asked: “Your Majesty, Cao Min Su Liangcai has been conducting research on electricity. Now with the help of the Minerals Department, Cao Min has successfully completed electricity experiments using magnets and coils. Cao Min thinks that using this principle It is possible to develop a generator and use the power of a steam engine to turn the generator to generate electricity. However, ordinary people are still a little confused. This is because the magnets in the generator are not enough for the generator to generate enough current.”

Xiao Ming was startled. The first question surprised him. Seven years of modern education still surprised him. The knowledge level of many students was basically equivalent to modern nineteenth-century technology.

He had heard about this Su Liangcai from Lin Wentao last time. Now that he looked carefully, he was also a gentleman-like figure.

I have to say that Xiao Ming is still looking forward to electricity, because once electricity is available, the entire society will undergo greater changes than in the steam era.

However, without the steam engine era, it would be impossible to transition to the electric age at once. The reason is very simple. As Su Liangcai said, this generator requires steam engine power to generate electricity, and this is also the basic principle of thermal power plants.

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Ming said, “Ordinary magnets are not capable of generating electricity in generators. What you need are rare earth magnets.”

“Rare earth magnets?” Su Liangcai was startled.

Xiao Ming smiled and said: “Lin Wentao mentioned you to me. I have always been interested in your research. I didn’t expect your progress to be so fast. In this case, I will ask the Minerals Department to find the rare earth magnet as soon as possible, but now you can’t I hope to see a complete set of power generation machinery before the rare earth magnets arrive.

A smile appeared on Su Liangcai’s fair face. He bowed and said, “Yes, Your Majesty. We will do our best.” Upon

seeing this, the students all showed their faces. He had an envious look on his face, and being praised by the emperor meant that Su Liangcai was on the right track.

After Su Langcai, Lu Tong and Lin Wentao raised questions about chemistry and steam engines respectively. Lu Tong’s question was about vulcanized rubber, while Lin Wentao’s question was about triple-expansion steam engines.

These two issues are also crucial to the current scientific and technological development of Great Chongqing. Mobilizing the knowledge in scientific and technological crystals, he explained in detail the problems of preparing rubber and triple-expansion steam engines for the two of them.

Under the influence of the technology crystal, the two of them seemed to have personally experienced the manufacturing process of rubber and triple-expansion steam engines, and some technical difficulties gradually became clear.

After the three people asked questions one after another, the school suddenly became lively, and every student asked questions enthusiastically. Although some questions made Xiao Ming dumbfounded, he still explained them in detail.

However, relatively speaking, many of these questions are valuable, and from the questions he also learned about the current development of science and technology in Qingzhou.

Generally speaking, the substances in the periodic table of elements have been verified by students. Cobalt, manganese, boron and other chemical elements are no longer symbols in books.

The answer started at ten o’clock in the morning and lasted until three o’clock in the afternoon when Xiao Ming went back. In addition, Xiao Ming also personally participated in the experiment to promote the development of science and technology. After all, while the country of Chongqing was developing, the West was also developing. If you master technology It would be a shame for him to be left behind by the West despite the spar.
