Ming Zuo

Chapter 1594

The location of Fang Yizhi's research institute is very remote.

It wasn't that he was excluded, nor was it that the Academy of Engineering made things difficult on purpose.

Looking at the more than 20 lightning rods in the courtyard, Zuo Menggeng felt that normal people would probably stay far away from here.

Before going in, he even raised his head to look at the sky.

When he saw that the sky was cloudless and the sun was shining brightly, he walked in with confidence.

Otherwise, it is really easy to be struck by lightning.

After crossing the spacious courtyard and coming to the inner room, I finally saw the figures of Fang Yizhi and Chen Shuangjin.

It's just that the appearance of the two of them almost made Zuo Menggeng's eyeballs fall out.

I saw that the long hair of the two of them was all pointing upwards, which looked like a crazy doctor.

Moreover, the faces of the two were very stiff and dull, and their eyes were dull but fanatical.

"What are you doing?"

Fearing that something might happen to the two of them, Zuo Menggeng hurriedly asked.

Fang Yizhi scratched his head and didn't think there was anything wrong with their appearance.

"We're testing the size of the electricity."

Zuo Menggeng squeezed between the two, only to see a crude instrument on the table.

A large, dark disc was erected and secured with brackets.

There is also a manual crank handle on one side of the disc.

The front end and the outer edge of the disc are parallel to each other, and each has two bends wound with copper wires.Two fine brushes protrude from the curved front end, which are attached to the disc.

At the back of the bend, after the two copper wires are connected together, they become one and extend out.

At this time, Fang Yizhi was shaking the disc, while Chen Shuangjin's hand touched the copper wire.

Zuo Menggeng was terrified, and quickly kicked Chen Shuangjin out, stopping the madness of the two.

"To test the power level, don't you know how to make a dashboard? How can you try it with your body?"

The simple instrument on the table is a DC generator.

That black disc is actually a polished magnet.

After the disk is rotated, the bending of the copper wire and the direct formation of the magnetic field.It is then converted into electrical energy through carbon brushes and exported by copper wires.

It can be said that this instrument is quite similar to the first DC generator in history.

This is enough to show that Fang Yizhi's research is on the right track.

But in any case, using the body to feel the magnitude of the electric energy is enough to be called crazy.

"Yes! Why didn't we think of it?"

Receiving the reminder from Zuo Menggeng, Fang Yizhi and Chen Shuangjin smiled and started to make it immediately.

In this regard, Zuo Menggeng called it a fluke.

If he hadn't come, these two crazy guys might have turned into coke when the DC generator was more powerful.

Dashboards are very simple to make.

Fang Yizhi and Chen Shuangjin found a wooden plate, and then pasted different scale numbers on it, and then installed a pointer, which was shaped like a watch.

In this way, after the electric energy is transmitted to the instrument panel through the wire, the pointer can clearly reflect the magnitude of the electric energy.

Zuo Menggeng watched the experiment live.

It was found that the maximum power that this hand-operated DC generator can provide is only the number five, which is obviously very weak.

But it doesn't matter. Now that he has made a good start, he is very much looking forward to the fact that electricity can serve mankind earlier.

Fang Yizhi was also very happy.

"Now there is a way to test the current, but how should it be expressed?"

The magnitude of current, like any other numerical value, requires a unit name.

Originally called Ampere in history.

But now European and American countries have just started, and the research on electric power is far away, so naturally there is no corresponding name.

Zuo Menggeng was about to speak out about Ampere, but Chen Shuangjin was one step ahead.

"Your name is Mizhi, why not call it 'Mi'."

Fang Yizhi nodded upon hearing the words, and approved of this method.

When Zuo Menggeng saw it, he was happy to see it succeed.

It is an honor to be able to leave a Chinese figure in the history of scientific development.

I believe that when people in the future refer to electricity, Fang Yizhi will be an unavoidable name.

He simply proposed.

"If the strength is lower than the current one, it can be named as millimetres, microdensities. For other numerical units, use your last name to express it."

Anyway, amps and volts are all Western names.

Since Westerners can use it, there is no problem in naming it with Chinese names.

Regarding the field of electricity, Zuo Menggeng could not provide much guidance to Fang Yizhi, and his understanding was very limited.

Just to let you know that you can try to use carbonized bamboo wire or tungsten wire to try to convert electricity into light.

As for when it will be successful, it depends on the efforts and luck of Fang Yizhi's team.

In short, Zuo Menggeng was in a good mood after visiting the Academy of Engineering.

The endless scientific research results and technological progress will bring endless assistance to the development of the empire.

He believes that if it continues, the only thing in this world that can be called the sun never sets is the empire.

"Your Majesty, the Southwest Strategic Cluster and the Northwest Strategic Cluster sent reports at the same time."

The winter is slowly passing, and the military operations that have been suspended for several months have begun to enter a period of frequency again.

Zuo Menggeng's work also began to shift from the civil and political field to the military field.

Now, although the Central Plains have been settled and Liaodong has been recovered, there are still Yunnan in the southwest, the Western Regions in the northwest, and Mobei in the north, which have not been included in the territory for the time being.

However, the reports sent by the two strategic clusters were completely opposite.

"The Southwest Strategic Group reported that Mu Tianbo, Sun Kewang and the Burmese army have defeated Shadingzhou and besieged it in Kunming. I believe it will not take long to break through the city. The Southwest Strategic Group has judged that now is the best time to enter Yunnan. Period. Not only can all parties be wiped out, but they can also push the boat along the way and conspire against Burma."

The rebellion in Sha Dingzhou back then was nothing more than seeing the opportunity and catching Mu Tianbo by surprise.

In fact, the strength of Sha Dingzhou is not very strong.

After receiving the help of Sun Kewang and the Burmese army, Mu Tianbo's strength increased greatly and gradually reversed the situation on the battlefield.

In the battle of Dali, although the rookies of the two sides pecked at each other, in the end, Mu Tianbo had the last laugh when their strengths were clear.

Sha Dingzhou retreated all the way back to Kunming, but failed to run back to Mengzi, and was blocked in the city by the three-party coalition forces following behind.

By now, the situation in Yunnan is almost settled.

The Southwest Strategic Cluster, which has been waiting so itchy, finally decided to end, not only to clean up the mess, but also to take Myanmar into it.

The empire is not the Qing Dynasty, and it has no clear understanding of the situation in the world.

After exploration, the empire has even established a firm foothold in the Indian Ocean, and is well aware of the strategic value of Myanmar.

However, Myanmar has always been a vassal state of the Central Plains Dynasty and has always been submissive.Without a suitable excuse, the empire has no way to crusade.

Otherwise, it is not in the interests of the empire to cause panic and disunity among all the vassal states in the Indochina Peninsula.

Now that Burma supports the Remnant Ming Dynasty, it is tantamount to giving the empire an excuse.

In this way, the empire's conquest of Burma was justified.
