Academy of Sciences, conference room.
Looking at everyone present, Li Xin once again congratulated the Academy of Sciences on its achievements. He then instructed Bai Fenglan to allocate a bonus specifically for the Academy of Sciences from the royal family's account upon returning.
Moreover, this bonus was issued separately and was unrelated to the bonuses awarded by the imperial court.
Upon receiving this news, the colleagues at the Academy of Sciences were overjoyed and expressed their gratitude.
"Sit down, sit down."
Looking at everyone, Li Xin smiled and said, "You have made such great contributions, I, Li Xin, will naturally not treat you unfairly. Moreover, the future technological development of our Great Gan Kingdom rests on your shoulders, and we will rely on you for many things in the future!"
"Your Majesty is too kind."
Wang Zheng clasped his hands in a fist and replied, "This is what we should do. Your Majesty, please feel free to give us any instructions."
"Yes, there is indeed something!"
As he spoke, Li Xin beckoned to Bai Fenglan and instructed, "Fenglan, take out what we brought and show it to everyone."
"yes!"
Bai Fenglan quickly agreed.
Immediately, Bai Fenglan picked up a box next to her, placed it on the table, opened it, and carefully took out the contents, arranging them one by one on the table.
Looking at the things on the table, Wang Zheng, Sun Hedou, Zhou Qing and the others were stunned. They frowned as they looked at these things, somewhat puzzled, not understanding what they were.
Inside the glass dome, there seems to be some kind of silk?
What are these coils for?
For a moment, everyone was puzzled.
While everyone was wondering, Bai Fenglan skillfully assembled the items together and connected them with copper wire.
Before long, the small generator, tungsten filament incandescent lamp, switches, and other components were connected.
"Everyone, watch closely!"
As she spoke, Bai Fenglan gripped the crank and gently began to turn it. Once the speed increased, Bai Fenglan turned the switch off.
Whoosh!
Instantly, the tungsten filament incandescent bulb inside the glass cover emitted an orange glow.
Everyone in the room was stunned.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at the scene before them, dumbfounded.
"This glass dome is now lit?"
"Am I seeing things?"
"How can it be lit up?"
"How can it glow?"
Everyone looked horrified and said in surprise.
However, these people were all senior members of the Academy of Sciences, and extremely intelligent individuals. In an instant, they understood the problem.
"Could it be that the machine's rotation is generating something that makes the things inside the glass enclosure glow?"
Wang Zheng frowned and spoke.
"Old Wang, you guessed right!"
Li Xin took out a booklet, handed it to Wang Zheng, and said, "This machine is called a generator. It generates current by turning a crank to drive a coil to cut magnetic field lines. The current passes through a copper wire, causing a tungsten filament incandescent lamp to light up. This principle is called electromagnetic induction!"
Upon hearing Li Xin's explanation, Wang Zheng quickly took the booklet and carefully flipped through the records inside.
The content is very simple: it introduces the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction and explains how to make a small generator and a tungsten filament incandescent lamp.
Wang Zheng quickly finished reading through it.
Is it really that amazing?
Wang Zheng's eyes widened as he handed the booklet to the others.
Other members of the Academy of Sciences also gathered around, carefully examining the contents of the booklet.
After everyone had finished reading, Li Xin said, "For us, this is another epoch-making product. This time, besides inspecting the recent achievements, I came to the Academy of Sciences to entrust this matter to them!"
"electricity!"
"This is a new product comparable to the steam engine, so we need the cooperation and research of the Academy of Sciences!"
Wang Zheng quickly stood up, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, our Academy of Sciences will definitely assign specialized personnel to be responsible for studying this matter."
"but,"
Wang Zheng frowned and said, "We've only just come into contact with this electricity thing. If Your Majesty has any specific instructions, you can give us them directly."
"Old Wang,"
Looking at Wang Zheng and the rest of the Academy of Sciences, Li Xin said, "Regarding electricity research, I have a few general directions. First, what you see in front of you now is a small generator with relatively low power. The electricity it generates can only power one tungsten filament incandescent lamp, which is too little. Therefore, initially, you can refer to the principle of the small generator and scale it up several times to create a larger generator. Once the large generator is manufactured, we should try to establish a dedicated factory to start mass production as soon as possible. At the same time, the tungsten filament incandescent lamps should also be developed simultaneously. Then, we can install tungsten filament incandescent lamps for lighting in the capital! This is the first step!"
Wang Zheng nodded slightly and said, "This task is relatively simple. Imitation is something our Academy of Sciences often does. Your Majesty, please rest assured!"
"Uh-huh!"
Li Xin nodded slightly and continued, "The second thing is that while we are replicating and building generators, we must also carefully study the principles of generators and their applications in other areas. A coil cutting magnetic field lines generates current; this is the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction. This is mechanical energy, converted into electrical energy. The reverse is also true. Electrical energy can also be converted into mechanical energy, driving a motor to generate energy. This will also be another way of generating kinetic energy, and you should study it carefully. Elder Wang, establish an Electric Power Institute within the Academy of Sciences specifically to handle this matter!"
"good!"
Wang Zheng's eyes lit up. He understood the concept of converting mechanical energy into electrical energy and vice versa. He also realized that, just as His Majesty had said, this was another great invention comparable to the steam engine!
Wang Zheng immediately replied, "Your Majesty, rest assured, our Academy of Sciences will certainly live up to our mission!"
"good!"
Immediately, Li Xin handed over to Wang Zheng other books on electricity knowledge that he had found in the field of smart technology.
Although the knowledge in these books was very advanced, with the development of generators, and the expertise of researchers at the Academy of Sciences, the understanding of this advanced knowledge would deepen as they studied the principles of generators and electromagnetic induction phenomena.
In this way, one can quickly understand and learn the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction and make use of it!
After giving these instructions, Li Xin then instructed the Academy of Sciences and the Beijing Manufacturing Bureau to establish a power equipment factory in Beijing, specifically responsible for producing products such as magnets, coils, tungsten filament incandescent lamps, copper wire, and switches.
These products will also be power infrastructure.
Once the large generators are manufactured, they can be put into use quickly!
