Wang Maoduan vowed never to modify the almanac again.

This disaster must have happened because I arbitrarily pretended to be the Taoist Patriarch and spoke nonsense.

In short, if the captain of the guards had not used his common sense and decided to wait and see what the situation was, those guards who were loyal to Lin Hai would have chopped off his bald head the moment the mosaic covered the training ground.

Of course, the captain of the guards later said he was worried that Mosaic was poisonous, and according to common sense, the antidote must be in Wang Maoduan's hands, so he spared his life. It was definitely not because he was also scared and forgot to kill him immediately...

But no matter what, after Bao Gu's careful examination, there was no health problem for everyone present, and Wang Maoduan, who had been detained in the dungeon, was finally freed.

Of course, Ling Yang looked solemn after being examined. He lowered his head and walked away quickly, heading straight to the pharmacy. He bought a lot of wolfberries, tiger penises, and other things. That's another story.

In any case, forget about the cannon.

This made Lin Hai very distressed.

He had a gloomy face for several days in a row, and looked like he wanted to keep strangers away, which was very scary.

After all, an angry principal is not scary at all, but an angry Qinghebo is a little scary, and an angry emperor will make everyone feel that their head is bought with a loan and placed on their neck, and it will be taken away if they are not careful.

The reason why Lin Hai was angry was actually very simple.

He originally thought that the world's technological blockade blocked steam power and gunpowder explosions.

Therefore, as long as they gave up steam engines and gunpowder and used electric motors and explosives instead, they could easily (not) bypass the technological blockade. But now he understood that the blockade against gunpowder not only blocked the explosive properties of gunpowder, but also blocked the fact that the gas in a confined space could expand rapidly and push objects.

This is totally illogical.

If the gas is not allowed to expand rapidly and do work, then why can the explosive pack explode?

Since the explosive pack can explode, why can it only produce mosaics when it is placed in a gun barrel or tightly wrapped with iron sheets?

No matter who was responsible for this blockade, Lin Hai really wanted to talk things over with him. How could this be done?

What’s the difference between this and cheating?

They simply ignored the distribution of the technology tree and forcibly cut off several branches. Even after the branches were cut off, only part of them disappeared, and the other part was still floating next to the technology tree like a rootless tree.

However, due to the failure to develop a good energy storage mechanism, commonly known as a battery, the electric motor that He Chun had worked so hard to develop was completely useless.

It’s not that it’s completely useless.

It’s just that the electric motor needs electricity to drive, so it has to be connected to a generator, and the generator... there is no suitable power. The steam engine is completely blocked, and whether the internal combustion engine is blocked or not, it is not something Lin Hai can make now, so the energy used by the light generator that He Chun showed to Lin Hai is: human power.

Each kilowatt-hour consumes two steamed buns.

As long as the person cranking the handle has enough strength and persists long enough, the crank accelerated by the gear set can drive the coil to rotate continuously. It is true that it can generate electricity, but it is also true that it can disable the arm.

Of course, Qinghe's battery technology is not without any progress, but the battery made of silver plates, zinc plates and sulfuric acid is not only expensive, but most importantly, it is extremely heavy. After being assembled with an electric motor, the power generated is not enough to drive itself, let alone be used as power.

This caused Lin Hai's electric drive plan to fail.

Originally, Lin Hai thought that Ling Yang would also stop the research on electricity. However, Ling Yang, who was drinking water soaked with a strange stick-shaped object and chewing wolfberries, silently approved the new budget supplement plan submitted by He Chun.

"Putting aside the fact that you shouldn't bring such bizarre things to me, first explain to me why you agreed to He Chun's budget so readily."

Lin Hai looked at Ling Yang with disdain and asked him to put the cup back before answering.

"Your Majesty, although your proposal to use electric motors to drive carts capable of traveling a thousand miles a day is indeed difficult to accomplish, electricity is not without its advantages."

Ling Yang quickly put the last few wolfberries in his hand into his mouth, chewed them, and then answered.

"Explain."

"Although He Chun's battery is heavy and has safety issues, our evaluation shows that these problems can be solved sooner or later. If they can be solved, then the electric car you mentioned is not impossible.

What's more, He Chun built a dam outside the city to block the water, generating hydroelectric power that goes directly to electric motors. These motors provide excellent power to our factory, directly increasing our production. This alone is worth the price."

"You won't mention the function of electric light?"

"Electric lights are also very useful. We plan to install electric lights in your palace and government offices across the country. They'll be hand-cranked and powered by batteries."

"Don't you consider civilian use?"

“We have considered it, but the cost is too high. To be honest, the national grid plan you proposed seems like a fantasy to us. We do not have the ability to provide electricity to every household.

Not to mention that we don't have that much electricity, even if we did, we wouldn't be able to deliver it to every household. After all, not every city or village has the conditions to build a dam to block water for power generation. Even if we did, we wouldn't have the money."

"So you're installing it in the government office because you're planning on working at night? Otherwise, I wouldn't agree to spend money to install it in the government office."

Lin Hai felt a little horrified when he said this. Could it be that he had invented 996 in advance?

"Well... we, as ministers, share the country's worries, day and night. This is our duty..."
