Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 631 Forming a Research Institute

Taichang originally thought that a few simple experiments could be done as long as the materials were ready.

However, at this moment, he found that his thinking was a bit too simple.

For example, the experiment of using a magnetic field to generate electricity cannot be done now.

He stared at the materials on the table, frowned and pondered for a while, then couldn't help sighing: "Oh, it looks like we have to quickly form a research institute."

What is this institute for?

Cheng Jiashuo couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by the research institute?"

How about this?

Taichang thought for a while, and then explained: "The research institute is a place where you can concentrate on developing new things."

Cheng Jiashuo was still a little puzzled and said, "Your Majesty, isn't there a place to develop new things?"

Taichang shook his head slightly and said: "The places you mentioned are all found temporarily, there is no special equipment, and there is no dedicated person to cooperate with you.

You don't have any specific goals, and you may feel that after finishing this, you can do other things, or even take care of other things.

This is not acceptable and cannot promote the development of technology.

The research institute I'm talking about is dedicated to the research of new things, equipped with special equipment, and dedicated personnel to cooperate with you.

And you need to determine your goals, concentrate on research, and keep researching.

For example, the one you are developing is actually an aircraft for manning.

So, what is our goal?

Our goal is not to carry two people around the sky and forget it.

Our goal is to make this thing a people-carrying tool like trains and ships, which can carry many people to long-distance places. "

Oh, that's what it means.

Cheng Jiashuo hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I understand."

Taichang then sighed again: "It's like now, without special equipment and special personnel to cooperate, this experiment cannot continue."

Cheng Jiashuo quickly asked: "Your Majesty, what do you need, I will send someone to bring it to you immediately."

I need so many things, you won't be able to get them for a while.

Taichang sighed slightly again, then picked up a magnet and said, "I need a few iron rods of this size."

It was so simple, Cheng Jiashuo waved to an old blacksmith immediately.

Immediately afterwards, Taichang gestured with a magnet again: "I need to make this magnet rotate without touching anything nearby."

Uh, this one is a bit more difficult.

Cheng Jiashuo couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this.

Alas, I can only make do with it first.

Seeing this, Taichang could only helplessly ask: "Whoever is a carpenter here, come here."

Cheng Jiashuo quickly raised his hand and called several old carpenters over.

Taichang immediately picked up a wooden square and gestured: "You have to dig a hole in the middle of this wooden square, insert this magnet into it, fix it, then round the two ends of this wooden square, add bearings, and then use wooden A frame to set this thing up, clamp the bearings, and then a handle for turning has to be added to the outer end."

Well, this thing is actually not complicated. To put it bluntly, it is similar to the wheel with buckets hanging above the well, except that this wheel does not need to hang the bucket, and only needs to plug the magnet into the middle of the wheel.

The problem is that there are no wheels of exactly this size, and there is no special processing equipment here.

Cheng Jiashuo thought about it, and had to ask a few carpenters to take a magnet and rush to the nearby factory for processing.

Soon, the old blacksmith who just ran out came over with some iron rods.

Taichang took the iron rod, and couldn't help sighing slightly: "Yaoguang, you see, this is the fundamental reason why I want to set up a research institute. Now we are just doing a small experiment, so we have to wait and see. .

If you really want to develop something new, it will be thousands or even ten thousand times more complicated than this simple experiment.

You said, if we have to wait for this and that to develop new things like this, do we have to wait for months or even years? "

Well, this one does.

Cheng Jiashuo nodded repeatedly: "What the emperor said is absolutely true."

Taichang sighed slightly again, then took out the magnet under the glass, and stuffed an iron rod of about the same size into it, and then the other party wisely said: "Mizhi, do it again."

Without hesitation, Fang Yizhi picked up the wooden stick and scratched the glass a few times, and then tapped the glass lightly with the wooden stick.

This time, of course, there was no reaction at all, because ordinary iron rods have no magnetism.

Taichang picked up another roll of copper wire that was one minute thick and thin, and pulled it out about three feet long. Then he wound the middle of the copper wire around the iron rod several times, and then put the iron rod back under the glass. : "Mizhi, do it again."

Fang Yizhi took the trouble to scrape lightly a few times with a small wooden square, and then tapped lightly.

This time, of course, there was no reaction at all, because ordinary iron rods are not magnetic even if they are wrapped with copper wires.

Taichang saw that several carpenters hadn't completed the work, so he simply explained in detail: "The experiment we are going to do this time is how to convert magnetic force into electrical energy, and how to convert electrical energy into magnetic force.

You see, like this, wrap the copper wire around the iron rod a few times, and then turn on the electricity, the iron rod will become like a magnet, generating a magnetic field or magnetic force.

And this electricity has to be generated by a magnetic field.

You remember, this is the most important point, when the closed loop cuts the magnetic field lines, it will produce a current.

At the moment, we can only use this method to generate electricity. "

Most people will probably be dumbfounded when they hear this for the first time.

Fang Yizhi listened, but began to think about it seriously.

He pondered for a while before asking: "Your Majesty, what is a closed circuit."

Good question.

Taichang directly folded the copper wires at both ends, stretched them out of the table, then folded them into a roughly rectangular shape, put the two ends of the copper wires together, and then twisted the two ends together, and then introduced: "Look, This is a closed circuit in which electricity can flow, and the circuit must be composed of metal wires and loads that consume electricity."

Fang Yizhi thought for a while, and then asked: "Your Majesty, is metallicity a thread made of gold, silver, copper, and iron?"

Taichang nodded slightly and said: "It can be said that there may be more kinds of metals in the future. In short, it must be a thread made of metal."

Fang Yizhi continued to ask: "Your Majesty, what is a load?"

Taichang pointed to the iron rod wrapped around the copper wire and said: "This is a kind of load, which can convert electrical energy into magnetic force. A load is something that consumes electrical energy. If you keep generating electrical energy in your circuit without consuming it, The electric energy will be converted into heat energy, and the metal wire will become hotter and hotter, and if the accumulated electric energy is too much, the metal wire will even be blown in one fell swoop."

Fang Yizhi nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by cutting the lines of magnetic force?"

Hey, why haven't things been done yet?

Taichang looked at the door, and then explained helplessly: "You have also seen the various patterns formed on the glass just now, that is the appearance of the magnetic field, or the appearance of the magnetic force lines in the magnetic field.

In fact, there are magnetic force lines around the magnet, but we cannot see it without the help of iron powder.

Cutting the magnetic force line means to keep the closed loop rotating in the magnetic field. Because we cannot see the magnetic force line in this process, it seems that the coil is only rotating there, but in fact the coil is cutting the magnetic force line there.

It’s as if we form a knife with our hands and keep waving in the air. In fact, we are equivalent to cutting the air, but the air is invisible and unfeeling. Therefore, our feeling is just waving our palms. Didn't know the air was cut by us.

In this case, we can light a few sticks of incense to make the air full of incense mist. In this case, we can see the changes in the air clearly by chopping with a hand knife. "

If this is said to other people these days, it will definitely be in the fog.

Fang Yizhi heard the words, but nodded again and again and said: "Student understands, the reason why your majesty asked someone to make a rotating magnet is because the magnet is easy to rotate, but this circuit cannot rotate, right?"

This kid is really a rare genius!

Taichang nodded again and again and said: "Yes, it is actually the same principle no matter whether it is rotating the circuit or rotating the magnet."

Question, why hasn't this rotating magnet thing been done yet?
He couldn't help but looked up again to the door.

Fortunately, a carpenter hurried over with a small wooden frame in his arms.

This thing is really simple, just a wooden square that can rotate between two small uprights.

After a general look, Taichang couldn't help frowning.

He forgot that the turning handle sticking out was a little in the way.

That doesn't matter too much, though, as long as the magnet rotates roughly within a box of folded copper wire.

He directly folded the square frame made of copper wire up a little bit, let go of the handle, and then ordered someone to fetch a stool and place the turret in the corresponding position, so that the magnet was roughly suspended on the square frame made of copper wire In the middle, the other party said wisely: "Mizhi, go knock on the glass again, don't stop."

Hearing this, Fang Yizhi quickly picked up the small wooden cube and tapped it on the glass.

As a result, there was no reaction at all, because there was no electricity in the copper wire yet.

Taichang immediately reminded: "I'm going to turn the magnet in the middle of this loop, pay attention to the iron powder on the glass."

After that, he grabbed the handle and turned it slowly.

This rotation is too slow, there is not much magnetic force, and the magnetic force lines formed by the iron powder on the glass are relatively blurred.

Taichang looked at it, immediately speeded up, and turned quickly.

This time, the magnetic force lines on the glass finally became clear, as if a magnet was placed underneath.

Seeing this, Fang Yizhi couldn't help showing a hint of eagerness in his eyes.

This electricity is really interesting!
