Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 635 Rewards
In Wubei City, in that smelly factory building.

Fang Yizhi leaned against the charged coil with two copper wires in his gloves, and looked at the pointer of the simple voltmeter, he couldn't help but let out a long breath.

This simple voltmeter is finally made.

After thinking for a while, he turned off the steam valve first, then raised his head and shouted: "Old Wang, come and help me."

Old Wang, the craftsman's foreman heard the words, hurried over and said courteously, "Master Fang, what's your order?"

Fang Yizhi pointed directly at the hand-cranked simple generator on the table and said, "You turn this handle, and I'll try this voltmeter."

Uh, I don't know what kind of voltmeter Mr. Wang is.

However, he can still do the simple job of turning the handle.

This is a reel, the same as the reel used to draw water from a deep well, except that this reel is very small, and there is no bucket underneath, so it doesn't take much effort to turn it.

Without hesitation, he grabbed the handle of the wheel and turned it carefully.

Fang Yizhi didn't say anything, and directly put two copper wires on both ends of the coil of the hand-operated generator to measure.

The old Wangtou was afraid of breaking things, so he turned very slowly.

The voltage sent out in this way is very low, and the pointer moves slightly.

Fang Yizhi thought for a while, and then said seriously: "Hurry up."

When the old Wangtou heard the words, he turned around vigorously.

This time, the pointer finally turned to the right.

However, the range of rotation seems to be much smaller than that driven by the steam engine.

Fang Yizhi stared at the pointer and thought for a while, then said seriously: "It's not too fast or too slow."

Uh, what does it mean to be neither fast nor slow?
The old Wangtou could only reduce the speed by about half, and then asked carefully: "Master Fang, how is this speed?"

Sure enough, as soon as the speed decreased, the pointer began to turn back.

Fang Yizhi nodded slightly, indicating that it was all right, then put down the copper wire in his hand, took off his gloves, and asked solemnly: "Is the emperor just here?"

Not only is the emperor coming!

You are too focused on your work, and you ignore so many officials from the Ministry of Industry.

The old Wangtou said helplessly: "Yes, Mr. Fang, not only the emperor came just now, but also Mr. Bi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and many servants of the Ministry of Industry."

Uh, sorry, sorry.

Fang Yizhi quickly asked, "Where are they?"

How would I know!

The old Wangtou reckoned: "The emperor and Mr. Bi have been gone for more than an hour."

Then there's no way.

Fang Yizhi looked at the messy workshop, then waved his hand and said: "Let everyone stop for a while, tidy up your things, arrange them neatly, and sweep the floor."

In fact, he is not the kind of person who does not understand the world at all, and he is not the kind of person who cannot take care of himself.

He's just too focused on researching.

After Taichang demonstrated to him the magical relationship between electricity and magnetic field, he became interested in it. In addition, Taichang then told him to make a simple voltmeter. It's running around.

He originally thought to develop this simple voltmeter first, then tidy up the factory, and then invite Taichang to come and have a look.

After all, the simple voltmeter was the task Taichang entrusted to him.

As for the factory building, there were not many things in it, and it would not be a hindrance if it was placed casually, so he was not in a hurry to tidy it up.

Unexpectedly, after he had been busy for less than two days, Taichang came here with a group of officials from the Ministry of Industry.

Alas, this matter is done.

I don't know how the emperor will feel when he sees this messy factory building.

He was instructing several craftsmen to tidy up the factory buildings, when Taichang unexpectedly brought a large group of people over.

This time, it's not just officials from the Ministry of Industry, but also a bunch of artisans.

Fang Yizhi was stunned when he saw the battle.

Why did the emperor bring such a large group of people here?
Taichang was also stunned when he saw the appearance in the factory building.

This kid actually knows how to take people to pack things?
Fang Yizhi was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hands and said, "Students refer to the emperor, and respect to the adults. Earlier, the students were busy developing the things that the emperor gave to them. I didn't know that the adults came. I'm sorry, but I hope you will forgive me. "

It turns out that this kid is not a nerd.

Taichang waited for Bi Maokang and others to greet Fang Yizhi for a few words, and then asked: "How is it? Have you made a simple voltmeter?"

He guessed that if this kid didn't make a simple voltmeter, he wouldn't be busy with other things.

Sure enough, Fang Yizhi nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the students have already made a simple voltmeter, and the students also found that the faster the magnet rotates, the higher the voltage will be."

This kid is really a genius!

Although the simple voltmeter is not very complicated, nor is it so simple, there is at least one problem that Taichang didn't want to understand.

That's how to prevent the iron block under the pointer from being sucked to the head every time.

After all, as long as a magnetic force is generated in the coil, the iron block will always be attracted to the coil, no matter how strong the magnetic force is, the result will be the same. stop.

Once the iron block is sucked to the end, the pointer must point to the end.

That is to say, regardless of the voltage, as long as the generated magnetic force can attract the moving iron block, the iron block will be sucked to the end, so that the accurate voltage cannot be measured.

This is what he saw when he came here earlier.

Originally, he thought it would take Fang Yizhi at least a day or two to solve this problem.

Unexpectedly, this kid solved the problem in more than an hour.

Taichang couldn't help nodding with satisfaction and said: "Okay then, don't worry about these things, let's make a good plan for this place first, and see how the factory building and the courtyard where you live should be built."

Uh, do you want to build factories and residential courtyards?
Fang Yizhi was stunned again when he heard the words.

Now there are only a few craftsmen under his command, and the inside of a factory seems empty.

Also, although there are only a dozen or so courtyards in this grid city, there are less than ten of them in total, which is enough to live in.

He was stunned for a moment, and then said cautiously: "Your Majesty, there are already enough factories and living courtyards here, do you want to build more?"

How can these few factories and a dozen yards be enough?
Without hesitation, Taichang said: "I'm going to build this place into a specialized electric power research institute, and then assign you ten directors of the Ministry of Industry, one hundred disciples and one thousand artisans."

Ah!
Fang Yizhi was dumbfounded and said, "Your Majesty, don't you need so many people?"

Why not?

Taichang thought for a while, and then asked, "What is the effect of wrapping the copper wire with rubber and paint?"

Fang Yizhi said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, this humble minister hasn't had time to take care of it, it seems that rubber and paint don't work very well.

The rubber wrap is uneven, ugly and not easy to use.

The paint is too thin to wrap it, and it will make a hole when touched.

Weichen guessed that he would have to find all kinds of rubber and paint to try them all, and then develop a special machine to do this work, and the hand-wrapping would definitely not be even. "

Isn't that right?

Taichang couldn't help but spread his hands and said: "Look, don't you need two principals to be responsible for this? You only need to explain this simple matter to them. You can't waste your precious time on these things. .”

Uh, well, these things are simple, but they do take a lot of time.

Fang Yizhi nodded quickly and said: "What the emperor said is very true. These two matters really need to be handled by two experienced directors of the Ministry of Industry."

Taichang added another point: "Also, this simple voltmeter, including the simple generator, has been successfully developed, you can't just make do with it and mass-produce it for people to use?

A simple electric meter must have a dial, and then seal it with glass or something?
A simple motor must have a fixed pattern, and then cover it with a cover, right?

Is this another two directors of the Ministry of Industry to help you deal with it?
There are also electric lights, motors, telegraphs, including things wrapped after the wires are butted, and so on.

After you research these things, do you need someone to make finished products for you? "

Uh, well, these have to be taken care of by someone.

The question is, isn't it the development of the motor? Why did two more things come out?

Fang Yizhi couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, what is an electric light, and what is a telegraph?"

Taichang shook his head slightly and said: "I will explain this to you in detail later, tell me, is it enough to build you a mansion of one hundred mu?"

Uh, why build such a big mansion?
Fang Yizhi waved his hands again and again and said, "Your Majesty, there's no need, the students feel that the courtyard they live in now is good enough."

Taichang suddenly asked again: "Have you eaten yet?"

Fang Yizhi rubbed his belly and said awkwardly, "The students haven't eaten yet."

Taichang asked again: "What did you eat these two days?"

Fang Yizhi said without hesitation: "Students have been eating at Lao Wangtou's house for the past two days. Students can eat whatever they eat."

Oh, how can this work?

Taichang couldn't help shaking his head and said: "You are going to get married and have children in the future, can you let them live with you like this? How about this, you first invite a few maids and old mothers to take care of your life, and when the house is built, then More please."

These all cost money!

Fang Yizhi said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the student's family has a lot of expenses. Moreover, my father hired several gentlemen for the student and bought a lot of books. The student only brought a few dozen taels of silver."

The issue of money is the focus of what I will talk about next.

Naturally, Taichang would not let these geniuses work in vain.

He raised his hand without hesitation and said, "Zi Ru, bring the 1 taels of silver."

Hearing this, Cao Huachun quickly raised his hand to beckon an eunuch who was carrying a box, and ordered him to open the box, then took out the banknotes from inside, counted them carefully, and then respectfully handed over a handful of banknotes to Taichang.

Taichang directly stuffed the silver bill into Fang Yizhi's hand, and then solemnly said: "I can't let you work for nothing, this is a reward for you to develop a simple voltmeter, you can take it first."

My God, this time I will reward 1 taels!

Fang Yizhi looked at the banknote in his hand and tremblingly said: "Your Majesty, this reward is too heavy, the students can't bear it!"

Taichang shook his head slightly and said, "It's not a big deal. I'll give you a big reward when you develop electric lights, motors, and telegraphs."

Immediately afterwards, he turned back to Bi Maokang and said: "Menghou, you should write out the charter first. In the future, we will set up various projects for the research institute, and if one is completed, there will be a reward, at least 1 taels.

After all, their main focus will be on studying these projects in the future. We can't let them study hard for a lifetime and get nothing.

Therefore, anyone who completes the research projects we set up will be rewarded heavily.

As for the specific rewards for each project, let's go back and discuss it carefully. "
