The officials in the court looked at Lu Chen with complicated expressions. They all felt that if Lu Chen devoted himself to serving as an official in the court, his achievements would be limitless.
Look at how this person uses the power in his hands to the extreme. This is something many officials will never learn in their entire lives.
The National Master has the right to govern all religions in the world, and Lu Chen is already using Taoism and Buddhism like dogs. The officials present couldn't imagine what a tragic scene it would be if they became Lu Chen's subordinates one day.
Lu Chen sneered in his heart. The court of Da Qi was a sieve. He wanted to see how interesting the expressions of the Buddhist and Taoist sects would be after this news spread.
Especially the Buddhists, who keep talking about saving all living beings all day long. Now that the people are in trouble, it’s time for you masters to take action.
Lu Chen would never allow such things as preaching in prosperous times and staying behind closed doors in troubled times.
Buddhism has always claimed that if I don’t go to hell, who will? Now Lu Chen doesn’t ask them to go to hell, as long as they go to the city to help control the epidemic.
What? You're saying monks can't heal? But they must be strong, right?
If you can’t heal a disease, can you also carry a stretcher? If you can’t heal a disease, can you also dig a grave to bury a person?
What? You mean an ordinary man can do this?
What a joke! The men under my command are all good people. They are very useful if they are kept. How can they be wasted here in vain?
Since he decided to get involved in the epidemic, Lu Chen's work intensity suddenly increased.
During this period, he was not only busy arranging the mock examination room, but also responsible for allocating various materials and helping Fan Zeng familiarize himself with various processes. He was so tired that he rarely even went to his beloved brothel.
"Electricity and magnetism are close partners. If you wrap copper wire around a cast iron block and the resulting mixture is struck by lightning, it will form a strong magnet. This is the phenomenon of electromagnetism. With a strong magnet and a coil, you can generate electric current by cutting the magnetic flux lines. This is the technical principle of a hand-cranked generator."
"Of course, this is just theoretical knowledge. There's still a lot of work to be done before we can truly put it into practical application. Currently, the main task of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is to translate the theoretical knowledge I have into reality. Our current technical difficulties lie in how to generate uniform mechanical energy and how to apply the resulting electricity."
"My current solution is to use a waterwheel to generate cheap mechanical energy, but it's always difficult to control the amount of water in the waterwheel. As for the practical application of hand-cranked generators, apart from making electric chairs, there are relatively few scenarios where they can be used."
Lu Chen took Fan Zeng and Li Xiang around the Chinese Academy of Sciences, explaining to his two apprentices the various experiments they were going to do and their future practical application scenarios.
The two apprentices listened and nodded like chicks pecking at rice.
Although they don’t understand most of the things, it doesn’t stop them from thinking that their master is very powerful.
Controlling thunder and lightning, isn't this a power only gods possess? The teacher is indeed an immortal!
Lu Chen looked at the unfinished hand-cranked generator with mixed feelings.
In fact, his original plan was to develop the steam engine first. After all, the development of technology on Earth was that steam civilization came first, and then electric civilization.
But after actually operating it, we found that the development of steam civilization is actually not easy. On the contrary, things like hand-cranked generators are easier to make.
Unfortunately, when it comes to subsequent practical applications, the threshold for those things in electric civilization is too high. According to the current technological level of Da Qi, it is definitely impossible to do it.
Therefore, the current application of hand-cranked generators is limited to devices used for torture such as the electric chair.
But you know what, this thing is really effective in torture and forced confessions.
Firstly, it could really cause great harm to the prisoners. Secondly, in the eyes of the people of Da Qi, lightning has always been something that can be controlled by gods. Therefore, when the prisoners were electrocuted, their faith had collapsed before their bodies collapsed.
Anyone who has been to the electric chair will say what they think, and user feedback is all positive.
"How have you read the infectious disease prevention manual I gave you?" Lu Chen turned to ask Fan Zeng.
"I've read it through. Give me two more days and I'll definitely be able to memorize it all."
"Memorizing isn't the goal; being able to apply it flexibly is what makes you truly learned. While there's still time, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. I'll be sure to answer them for you."
After hearing this, Fan Zeng was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. He immediately raised some of the parts of the book that he didn't understand, and Lu Chen really broke them down and explained them to him bit by bit.
Fan Zeng was even more moved by this. He had been studying for more than ten years and had never seen such a dedicated and responsible teacher.
Lu Chen felt somewhat unworthy of Fan Zeng's gratitude.
His purpose of taking in this cheap apprentice was not simple from the beginning, and what Fan Zeng was going to do later was extremely dangerous. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a life-or-death situation.
Now if we can educate him more about medical care and infectious disease prevention and control, we might as well do more. Maybe we can save his life.
Li Xiang, who was accompanying him, was also very clear. He ate the food in his hand and said, "Junior brother, you have a heavy responsibility when you go to the south this time. I don't have anything to give you, so I will send a few capable men to help you with things."
Fan Zeng bowed hurriedly and said, "Thank you for your care, Senior Brother. With your help, I will surely be even more powerful."
"Junior brother, don't say that. You're doing this for the sake of our royal family, and I should be the one thanking you. Just work hard, and when you return, I'll definitely commend you to our father."
"In fact, I am very envious of you, Junior Brother. If it weren't for this status that is holding me back, I really want to go with you."
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows when he heard this and thought to himself, forget it.
You are a prince. If something really goes wrong with you, how am I supposed to explain it to your father?
"Are you free? Have you finished your homework? The Autumn Examination is coming up in August, so you should take the test so I can see how well you've studied. If you don't do well, I'll hang a big duck egg around your neck!"
This is how naughty children should be educated. Li Xiang became obedient at that time.
Lu Chen turned to look at Fan Zeng and said, "Even if you're away on business, don't neglect your studies. His Majesty will certainly use you when you return. However, I still hope you can take the imperial examination. The first mock exam is coming up soon. Do you have confidence in yourself?"
"Please rest assured, Master. I will definitely not let you down!"
Lu Chen nodded in satisfaction, and then said to his two disciples, "Tomorrow is the day when the candidates will visit the examination hall. You two should go and receive them then."
Fan Zeng nodded hurriedly and said, "I will obey your orders!"
Li Xiang was a little curious and asked, "What about you, Master?"
"You bastard! Your master is busy with all kinds of prostitutes. Do you think I should personally handle such a trivial matter?"
"Now that the four southern cities have been hit by disasters, the price of medicine has skyrocketed. I must visit some female donors and ask for some alms from them."
