Lin Hai found it difficult to explain why he knew this knowledge.

Although he had basically returned the education he had received to school for free, he still knew much more than the people in this world.

Up to now, Lin Hai has been evading this issue by saying "Don't ask" and "Why do you ask so many questions?", but one day he will face questions that he cannot answer.

That's why he always hopes that researchers will do something he doesn't expect.

Simply put, "seeking knowledge" is a kind of ability, and the correct way to use this ability is called "scientific research." Lin Hai actually wants to cultivate his own scientific research team very much, but if he wants to do this, then the most he can do is to put forward some ambiguous viewpoints in an inspiring way, and then let the team find the path to verify or falsify them themselves.

But this would require huge investment, both in terms of time and money costs, which Lin Hai cannot afford at this stage.

The pressure from the outside world forced him to adopt a more "helping things grow by lowering the seedlings" approach to promote the improvement of Qinghe's technological level in a short period of time. This led to the fact that all researchers actually had only one action, which was to constantly replicate Lin Hai's words through experiments.

Lin Hai knew that this wasn't scientific research; perhaps "concretization of thinking" would be a more appropriate term. The end result was that Qinghe's actual scientific research level remained the same as elsewhere in the world: practically zero.

Of course, this is a chronic disease. Although it is also fatal, it can at least be delayed for a while.

And what Lin Hai needs most is this period of time.

"First of all, there's nothing wrong with the choice of magnetite, but I don't believe you haven't thought about making a larger generator. If the generator is larger, then the existing natural magnetite will not be able to meet the demand. Have you ever considered this?"

"The second issue is power. Well, the manual cranking method isn't impossible, but as you can see, there's a limit to how long and how fast one person can crank the handle continuously. If this technology is only used by me, then it's not a big problem. I can just find someone from the prisoners undergoing rehabilitation to crank it. But what if we want to roll it out to everyone? We can't have a dozen prisoners in each household taking turns, right?"

"The frequency of the manual cranking cannot be guaranteed, which means the output current is also unstable. How do you plan to solve this problem?"

"at last..."

Lin Hai wanted to continue talking, but seeing He Chun's head lowering lower and lower, even to the ground, he held back. After all, for ordinary people in this world, electricity is a kind of energy that is the wrath of heaven and earth, representing the will of heaven and earth. Not to mention generating electricity, even researching it is terrifying and makes people feel at a loss as to where to start.

I finally have a student who's determined to study electricity. What if this blow is too severe and he never recovers?

A thought turned around in his mind for several times, and Lin Hai felt that it was better to speak out. He raised his hand and patted Shi Zhener, who was quietly pulling at the corner of his clothes. Lin Hai asked: "Finally, has anyone of you been electrocuted?"

Perhaps because the tone of this last question was completely different from the previous three, He Chun reluctantly raised his head and answered, "Yes, we've all been shocked, but we haven't figured out a solution yet. A few days ago, we installed an iron casing on the generator, but it didn't do much... Then we realized that the casing would delay maintenance and kept burning up the machine, so we threw it away."

Well, Lin Hai didn't know how to describe these foolhardy people. He could only point out their lack of basic knowledge. Especially in the night school, in order to get them ready for graduation and employment faster, he'd basically skipped any electricity-related knowledge. After all, in this world, being a lieutenant general or a county magistrate didn't really require such knowledge...

Well, luckily it was the oldest hand-cranked generator, so at most it would just be a temporary boost, no big deal.

"Principal, I think our thinking is actually wrong." He Chun took a deep breath and then said this sentence forcefully.

"Oh? What's wrong? Tell me." Lin Hai began to feel that things were getting interesting.

"We lack basic knowledge about electricity, but we've already reached the stage of generating electricity. It's like we've started firing ceramics before we understand the properties of fire. We're just taking our chances. It's a waste of time and energy."

He Chun looked at Lin Hai curiously and asked, "You can tell me about the theories of magnetoelectricity and electroluminescence. These two theories have been proven to be correct, so you should know more basic knowledge about electricity. But why are you reluctant to talk about it? You even urged me to finish a generator first?"

"Yes, I know the answers to the above questions, including the more basic knowledge you mentioned. But I won't tell you."

Lin Hai held the teacup and blew away the tea leaves on it very carefully. Hmm, it was not a good tea. It seemed that the scientific research funds were not misused.

"Since we're talking about this, let's talk about it. This is also what confuses me. Sit down, everyone, and see if you can solve my problem."

"I know more than you think. That's a fact. But the extent to which I should share this knowledge with you is something I've always struggled with, or rather, found difficult to decide."

"Are you worried that we know too much that we shouldn't know?"

"Hahahahaha, that's not the case. It's all human knowledge, and can be passed on to each other. There's no question of it being contaminated by unknown knowledge."

"?"

"Oh, just a joke."
