Li Lizhi looked at her in surprise, a little bit unable to believe her ears, "Generator? You said you can make one right now?"

The little princess nodded and explained excitedly, "A generator is a magical machine that can convert other forms of energy into electrical energy."

"With it, we can get a constant supply of electricity, which is what Xiaorangjun calls da electricity!"

Li Lizhi was so shocked by the sudden news that she was speechless.

She always thought that it would take at least several years for Datang to enter the electrical age.

However, I didn’t expect that Sizi had already taken the lead and could now make a generator.

Doesn’t that mean that my long-awaited dream of cultivating immortality through technology will soon be realized?

"Sizi, can you really build a generator?" Li Lizhi asked with some doubt and hope.

"Of course, sis!" The little princess nodded vigorously. "It's actually very easy to build a generator!"

Seeing Li Lizhi's surprised and slightly confused expression, the little princess's smile became even brighter.

She took Li Lizhi's hand, and the three of them sat around the Changle stove, and then began to explain in detail.

"Sister, do you know that the principle of a generator is actually to use the relative movement of the magnetic field and the wire to generate electric current?"

The little princess explained in the simplest language possible, "We can imagine that there is a fixed magnetic field.

Then you have a wire that's moved very quickly through it, and that creates an electric current in the wire."

Magnetic field? Conductive wire? Relative motion? Electric current… Hmm, I understand a little bit about electric current…

Although Li Lizhi was confused, she could feel the confidence and enthusiasm in Sizi's words.

She nodded, encouraging Sizi to continue.

"The key to making a generator is to create a device that can generate a strong magnetic field and a mechanical part that can rotate efficiently."

The little princess continued, “I have thought of a simple design.

All you need is some copper wire and iron, plus a hand-turned rocker, to create a simple hand-cranked generator."

"So, now all we need to do is find these materials and assemble them according to your design to make a generator?"

Li Lizhi tried to conclude, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.

The little princess nodded with a smile on her face, "That's right, sister! Actually, these materials are not difficult to obtain.

Copper wire can be obtained from the craftsmen in the palace, and iron can also be found from them.

A joystick is even simpler; you just need to find a sturdy wooden stick.”

As she spoke, the little princess stood up eagerly.

"Sister, wait for me a moment. I'll go prepare the materials now, and then we can build the generator together!"

Li Lizhi looked at the little princess's energetic and motivated back and couldn't help but sigh in her heart:

It is true that the new generation pushes the old generation forward. As an older sister, I guess I need to learn more from Sizi in the future.

The little princess then ordered her maids to find all kinds of materials needed to make the generator.

After a while, all the materials were placed in front of her.

Under the little princess's skillful command, the maids began to assemble the generator according to her design.

Li Lizhi also participated in it with great interest.

Although she was not good at these manual labors, she still tried her best to help pass tools and fix materials.

With the joint efforts of everyone, a simple hand-cranked generator was soon born.

The little princess carefully shook the joystick, and the copper wire of the generator slowly turned, successfully generating electricity.

However, in the Tang Dynasty, even the light bulb had not been invented, let alone modern electrical appliances such as electric motors and rice cookers.

Therefore, although the power generation was successful, how to demonstrate the existence of electricity to the public became a new problem.

Fortunately, this did not stump the clever little princess.

She is well aware of the truth that "If we don't have guns or cannons, we can make them ourselves!"

In the current Tang Dynasty where resources are limited, the simplest resistance wire electrical appliances are undoubtedly the easiest exhibits to make.

The little princess ordered her maid to get some thin iron wire from the craftsman, wrap it into a certain shape, and then fix it between the two wooden boards.

She planned to make a simple electric heater, heating up an iron wire through electric current, thereby visually demonstrating the power of electricity.

When the generator was connected to the electric heater and the little princess carefully cranked the hand-cranked generator's joystick, everyone watched nervously and expectantly.

As the rocker slowly turns, the current generated by the generator flows through the electric heater, and the thin iron wire gradually becomes hot and red, emitting a weak heat.

"Sister, Chengyang, look! This is the power of electricity!"

The little princess pointed at the red wire and said excitedly, "This wire is hot and red because the current passing through it generates heat.

The power of electricity is extremely strong. It can make objects heat up, glow, and even drive machines.

And this is just the tip of the electricity iceberg.

With electricity, we have the ability to create more miracles, such as lighting up Chang'an every night and making all kinds of electrical appliances surrender to our Datang..."

Just as the little princess was explaining to everyone, there was a sudden "snap" sound, and the originally red wire broke instantly.

The little princess was slightly stunned, then she giggled, "It seems our electric heater needs some improvement.

The current was too strong for the wire to handle, so it burned out."

Li Lizhi and Princess Chengyang were shocked by this sudden change.

But seeing the little princess so calm, they gradually felt relieved.

Xiao Chengyang asked curiously, "Then how can we improve it?"

The little princess pondered for a moment and replied, "We can try to use thicker wire, or find a material that can withstand a larger current.

At the same time, we also need to learn to better control the strength of the current to prevent excessive current from damaging equipment."

A glint of inspiration flashed in her eyes, and she continued, "Right! Carbonized bamboo filaments might be a good choice.

Although light bulbs usually use tungsten filaments as a material, carbonized bamboo filaments can also conduct electricity and emit light, and are simpler and more convenient to make. "

"Carbonized bamboo filaments?" Li Lizhi and Xiao Chengyang asked in unison, their faces full of curiosity.

"That's right! It's a carbonized bamboo filament light bulb." The little princess explained.

"All you need to make this bulb is sintered charcoal, bamboo filaments, paste, and a few hand tools.

We can cut the bamboo strips into appropriate thickness and length, and then carbonize them at high temperature to turn them into carbonized bamboo strips.

Next, the carbonized bamboo filament is placed in a light bulb. When electricity flows through it, it will glow and heat up like the previous iron wire.

Furthermore, carbonized bamboo fibers are more resistant to high temperatures and therefore won’t burn easily.”

At this point, the little princess' eyes sparkled with unconcealable excitement, and she continued in a high voice:

"Most importantly, the carbonized bamboo filament bulbs can emit dazzling light and heat, making our hall brighter!"
