Shake your head and get rid of those messy thoughts.
Fang Zhengyi said loudly, "Everyone follow me and line up to enter. The space in front is quite narrow. Please go upstairs in an orderly manner and follow my instructions."
All the officials agreed in unison and followed Fang Zheng forward.
After walking a few steps, I arrived at a mysterious place.
Emperor Jing stood still and looked around.
In this space, there are two doors on each side.
The door was made of iron, and behind each door stood a woman in a strange uniform.
The uniform is simple and capable, somewhat like a variation of the cheongsam, except that the lower body is replaced with long pants and there is a small hat on the head.
Fang Zhengyi walked in front of Emperor Jing and explained, "Your Majesty, let's go upstairs from here."
Emperor Jing was puzzled and asked, "How do we get upstairs here? Where are the stairs?"
Fang Zhengyi pointed to where the uniformed woman was and said mysteriously, "This is the 'staircase'."
"oh?"
"You'll know once you go in." Fang Zhengyi said as he walked to the iron gate and pushed it hard.
The iron door was immediately folded and put aside.
Then, President Fang shouted in a very servile manner: "Everyone wait here, let His Majesty go first! Someone will pick you up later! And those who are from Taoyuan County, come over!"
Ao Chen and Wu Sheng walked out of the crowd.
Fang Zheng pointed to the space at the door and explained to Emperor Jing: "Your Majesty, this thing is called an elevator. Take the elevator and you can go directly to the top floor."
"Elevator!?" Emperor Jing was a little confused.
He could understand the word "ladder", but was completely confused when the word "electricity" was added.
"Your Majesty, please come in, and I will explain."
Emperor Jing did not hesitate and took Li Yuanzhao into the elevator.
After Wu Sheng and Ao Chen entered the elevator together, Fang Zhengyi entered last and closed the iron door.
Judging from its appearance, it is obviously an ancient cage-type elevator, which is only used on construction sites in later generations.
Schematic diagram
The interior decoration is very gorgeous, all decorated with precious wood carvings. The upper three sides use huge glass mirrors as back panels, making the originally small space appear much more spacious.
Emperor Jing looked around before noticing that the woman in uniform had a panel in front of her.
There are numbers written on it.
1, 2, 3, 5....16.
This symbol represents the first to sixteenth floors.
Without waiting for Emperor Jing to ask, Li Yuanzhao frowned and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a modified elevator from a factory, right? But why is it called an elevator? And what are the meanings of these numbers in front?"
Fang Zhengyi expressed his admiration in his heart.
The prince is indeed a good candidate for scientific research, he saw through the essence of the matter at a glance.
At present, this cage elevator is indeed a modified factory elevator, and the steam unit is located on the top floor. Now this thing can be said to be quite imperfect...
I just brought out the unfinished product today to show off and fool my boss.
Except for the one for the 16th floor, all other elevator buttons are decorations...
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, to be honest, this elevator is indeed a modified version of a factory elevator, and it is called an elevator because it uses electricity."
"Can thunder and lightning also be used?" Emperor Jing was completely confused.
Today was another eye-opener for him, but now Fang Zheng told him that electricity could be used by humans, which was really hard to accept.
"Yes, electricity can be used, and scientists at Dongjiao University have already figured out how to generate electricity."
Fang Zheng pointed to the button and explained calmly, "When this button is pressed, the people upstairs will receive a message and the elevator will be activated to take us up. The process is done by transmitting messages through electricity."
Emperor Jing had a bitter look on his face, indicating that he didn't understand at all.
Fang Zheng said upon seeing this: "This is a little complicated. Your Majesty, don't think too much about it. Let's go up first. I will give you the detailed information later. You will understand it at a glance then."
It's said to be a bit complicated, but actually it's not that complicated.
The people at Dongjiao University did figure out how to generate electric current, but unfortunately, it was like a newborn baby, it was useless.
As soon as Fang Zheng knew about it, he immediately decided to apply it to elevators.
Its only function is to simply transmit signals through a wire by turning on and off the power, that's all...and it can only control one layer at the moment.
The biggest purpose of applying this "baby technology" here is to inspire the students of Dongjiao University.
The development of electricity was slow. Although he left behind words such as magnetism generating electricity and electricity generating magnetism, they were ultimately too vague.
Academic progress has its own rules. Currently, there is no Tesla-like genius. It is already quite remarkable that the school can generate electricity.
If they knew that their academic achievements have great value and potential, it would surely stimulate more talents to develop in depth and engage in research.
Now can be said to be the best time for publicity.
Fang Zhengyi is like an unscrupulous businessman who holds a press conference to sell mobile phones with only a PPT, trying his best to shout...
As for the finished product, isn't it time to go on the market yet?
So what if there really is a problem?
It’s not like it can’t be used!
When Fang Zheng signaled the elevator attendant to press the button, Li Yuanzhao said seriously, "Wait a minute!"
"Old Fang! There are many problems with elevators. There have been many news reports of elevators falling in factories. Don't you know that? This is the 16th floor."
Emperor Jing was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and looked at Fang Zhengyi with a stiff neck.
What? This thing can still fall! ?
If that person really fell from the sixteenth floor, wouldn’t he be smashed to pieces?
Fang Zhengyi said calmly, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Many issues have been taken into consideration when designing this building, including fire prevention, lighting, and escape. The safety of the elevator is of utmost importance. To ensure safety, a new design called a safety clamp has been added to the elevator, which is different from the lift."
"If the elevator is likely to fall, the safety clamp will hold it firmly in place and prevent it from falling. Moreover, the materials used are of the best quality, so you can rest assured about its safety. I will never joke with your Majesty's safety."
Li Yuanzhao nodded and then fell into deep thought.
He trusted what Lao Fang said 100%, and it was not a problem to implement such a function in engineering.
However, I should take some time to study the specific structure of this safety clamp...
Emperor Jing also breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand and said, "Okay Zhengyi, no need to explain further, let's go up first."
