Steel Dynasty - Chapter 926

[Chapter 922 Incandescent Lamp]

A ray of autumn wind blew by, and the fallen leaves rustled down, laying a golden carpet on the gravel path of the harem.

In the imperial garden, Xiao Ming was enjoying chrysanthemums with Fei Yue’er and others.

Now Xiao Yi is five years old and has a strong head. In modern times, he is about to go to elementary school. However, he did not hire a teacher for Xiao Yi, but left Xiao Yi’s education to Fei Yue’er.

Following Xiao Ming, Fei Yue’er was greatly influenced by Xiao Ming. Although she did not participate in any scientific research, in Xiao Ming’s view, Fei Yue’er’s knowledge was no less than that of people like Lin Wentao, and was even higher. He was one step ahead, so he felt relieved to have Fei Yue’er personally teach Xiao Yi.

He has always been loyal to this recognized crown prince, and he does not want Xiao Yi to go on the road of reversing history in the future.

Behind Xiao Yi were Cui Xueer, Luluo and Ziyuan. The three of them were pregnant last year and now they have successfully given birth to a prince and a princess.

Cui Xueer gave birth to a second prince named Xiao Tong, Lu Luo gave birth to a third princess named Xiao Yushu, and Aster’s child was a fourth prince named Xiao Xuan.

Now three people are each pushing a stroller behind Fei Yue’er. The four of them are talking and laughing. This stroller was designed and produced by Fei Yue’er.

Although the materials are incomparable with modern strollers, it is still a transcendent industrial product in the country of Chongqing, and this stroller is very popular with Cui Xueer and the others.

Because this way they could push their babies out to play, and under their leadership, strollers quickly became popular in Qingzhou. Soon, a private workshop specializing in the production of strollers was established, and strollers began to appear. In the homes of some wealthy people.

“Your Majesty, Pang Shoufu wants to see you. “

While everyone was playing, Qian Dafu came over.

Fei Yue’er laughed when he heard this: “This Pang Yukun just doesn’t want to see the emperor relaxed, so he just stayed with us for a while and then he came.”

“No, it’s rare for the emperor to be so leisurely and relaxed.” Cui Xue’er teased the child and agreed. .

Aster and Pothos looked at each other, pursed their lips and smiled.

Xiao Ming shook his head gently. Pang Yukun had offended the four women Fei Yue’er now, but Pang Yukun did have something to do every time he was free.

However, he also knew that something big would happen every time this happened, and this time he basically knew that there should be a breakthrough in electricity.

“Don’t make fun of Pang Shoufu. There is probably something going on at the power plant this time.” Xiao Ming said calmly.

“Power plant.” Fei Yue’er’s eyes lit up and she said, “So we will be able to use electricity soon?”

Cui Xueer and others had already learned about the magic of electricity from Xiao Ming, and they couldn’t help but Showing expectant eyes.

“It’s no accident, it should be.” Xiao Ming looked proud.

Thermal power generation has always been a matter of great concern to him. In his opinion, this is more important than defeating Japan.

Fei Yue’er nodded, said nothing, and took Cui Xue’er and others to entertain themselves.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming and Qian Dafu went to the imperial study. As he expected, as soon as they entered the imperial study, Pang Yukun told them about the thermal power plant.

“Your Majesty, this time Su Liangcai also developed something called a transformer. It is said that this thing is very important for power transmission.” Pang Yukun said excitedly.

Xiao Ming showed a relieved look. During the period of attacking Japan, he had been correcting the problems in the scientific and technological development of the Chongqing Kingdom. He felt that there was no need to repeat the detours taken in the development of science and technology.

So we directly studied a complete power transmission system with Su Liangcai. This system included generators, transformers, and transmission wires.

Among them, generators and wires already had mature technologies during the construction of thermal power plants. What they lacked was transformers, so he handed over the principles and structure of transformers to Su Liangcai.

This simplifies the production of transformers, which are the original transformers and have been around since the 19th century.

This kind of transformer is composed of an E-shaped iron core and a coil. The coil has two or more windings. Its principle is similar to a Faraday induction coil. It can transform AC voltage, current and resistance.

With this thing, thermal power plants can transmit power farther. Therefore, Qingzhou Electric Power can be said to have avoided the initial experimental stage and directly entered the application stage.

In the past two years, Su Liangcai has also trained a large number of electric power talents. After the thermal power plant is put into production, Dayu Electric Power Company will be established under his leadership, officially opening the electric power era.

“Well, this Su Liangcai’s efficiency is pretty good. Let’s go and see what kind of electric performance he can show me.” Xiao Ming said.

Pang Yukun was also looking forward to it. He and Xiao Ming got up and walked out together. Under the protection of the guards, the three of them arrived at the thermal power plant located in the western suburbs of Qingzhou.

Standing outside a thermal power plant, the first thing you notice is that there is a huge chimney in front of you, but this is the standard structure of a power plant.

Su Liangcai was leading the workers of the thermal power plant who were waiting for Xiao Ming’s arrival. When he saw everyone arriving, he immediately came forward to greet them.

“Your Majesty, Qingzhou Thermal Power Plant is officially generating electricity. Your Majesty, please take a look inside.” Su Liangcai said with a proud tone.

Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun looked at each other and followed Su Liangcai into the power plant.

Compared with modern thermal power plants, the current Qingzhou thermal power plant is still a bit rough. To put it simply, the entire thermal power development is composed of a large steam engine and a large generator. The steam engine is connected to the generator. A huge boiler was connected to the steam engine.

At this time, a large amount of coal is entering the hopper through the conveyor belt, and then enters the combustion chamber through the hopper. The water is evaporated above the combustion chamber, and the steam enters the cylinder of the steam engine to drive the steam engine to do work and drive the generator to rotate.

The electricity enters the transformer and is transmitted to the grid through the wires connected to the generator.

“Your Majesty, this way.”

Su Liangcai led Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun through the production workshop of the power plant and into the office area on the west side.

Stopping here, Su Liangcai pointed to the light bulb lighting up in his office and said, “Your Majesty, please look.”

“Your Majesty, this, is this an electric light?” Pang Yukun was dumbfounded.

At this time, a glass-encased light bulb above his head was emitting bright light, which shocked Pang Yukun for a moment.

“Your Majesty, after experimenting with many materials, I found that tungsten wire has the best effect and is also the most durable.” Su Liangcai looked at Xiao Ming with admiration.

Without his guidance, he would have taken more detours, and fortunately, in order to make knives, Dayu State began to use tungsten as a metal very early, so tungsten filament light bulbs did not have too many difficulties.
