I am Peter III, Emperor of the Hexagon of the Goose Kingdom

Chapter 170 The Virgin Mary said that this artifact is called a lightning rod
Peter said:
"To prove that I have obtained the divine enlightenment, I must forge some artifacts according to the method taught by the Holy Mother, so as to prevent lightning from destroying the burning house."

"After these artifacts are finished, you can wait for the thunder and lightning to fall and watch to see if any houses are burned down."

After speaking, Peter led the crowd away.

Leaving the bishops and priests looking at each other, Adrian couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. He even wondered if Peter had conceded on purpose, but the price of this concession was too high. An emperor pretended to preach the Holy Spirit in front of so many people. , is no small matter.

The people of Moscow also watched this scene and couldn't help talking about it.

For these common people, they could even go to the palace to sing and dance one day every week in the past, so there is no obvious restriction.

But later I don’t know why this practice was not allowed, but it is still no problem to gather around the Red Square to watch.

"Is what His Majesty said true? Has His Majesty really received the holy enlightenment?"

"It should be true. That's His Majesty, and he said it in front of so many people. How can it be false?"

"Hmph, you're overthinking it. The patriarch has lived for so long and is well-known to be devout. He has never received holy enlightenment, so he is considered His Majesty, but how is it possible? Have you forgotten that His Majesty believed in Lutheranism before?" ?"

Amidst the crowd's discussion, when Peter's previous religion was pointed out, the people couldn't help but fell silent, feeling a very strange emotion.

Some don't want to believe it.

Is His Majesty lying in front of so many people?
As soon as she returned to the palace, Queen Elizabeth rushed over after receiving the news, called Peter into the palace alone, and said solemnly:
"Peter, you don't want to go out these few days. I will inform the imperial doctor and say that you are sick because you are talking nonsense due to your weakness. Adrian, I will go to him and measure him. Let it go like this."

Seeing that his aunt was about to assign Polia to find Adrian, Peter quickly stopped him:
"Aunt, what are you in a hurry for? Do you think I'm talking nonsense?"

Elizabeth looked at it seriously and said: "It's not like, but you are just talking nonsense, no one can stop the thunder and lightning."

"Polya, let's go."

"stop."

Peter had no choice but to stop Polya first, telling his aunt not to be so anxious, but he was also a little moved.

My aunt didn't blame him for talking nonsense in public, but only thought about how to deal with the aftermath. Where can I find an aunt who is so worried about her nephew?
Then Peter said sincerely to his aunt:
"Auntie, you believe me, this is indeed not Shengqi, but there is indeed a way to prevent lightning from destroying the house."

"Even if there is no Adrian in this matter, I still have to do it. No matter how beautiful the house in our country is now, the main structure is made of wood. Once it is ignited by lightning, the consequences will be unimaginable. It will burn to pieces..."

Peter held his aunt's hand and reassured her heart.

Peter didn't exaggerate, although the things in the palace are so gorgeous, exquisite and magnificent, but many things are in the same set.

When the empress lived in St. Petersburg, these things moved to St. Petersburg, and when she lived in Moscow, they moved to Moscow.

In the event of fire damage, the loss is absolutely disastrous.

According to historical records, there was a fire in the palace. Although it was not caused by lightning, thousands of pieces of fashion and boxes of stockings that my aunt loved were burned.

Moreover, compared with the imperial palace, the houses that the common people live in are not as tightly sealed as the imperial palace. Some houses even do not close the doors tightly.

"Peter, are you really all right?"

Elizabeth asked worriedly.

Peter shook his head firmly: "It's okay, Auntie, I'm serious."

Seeing the expression on Peter's face and his well-organized words, Elizabeth sighed. Seeing her nephew's insistence, she couldn't dissuade her any longer. She just nodded and went back to the palace.

Looking at the back of his aunt leaving, Peter knew that his aunt still didn't believe it, but it wasn't his fault at all.

He has nothing to be proud of, it's just that the science of this era has not developed to that point.

Eight years later, in 8, in order to prove that lightning can discharge, Franklin flew a kite into the sky, and then invented the lightning rod.

In fact, Dongfang had lightning rods earlier, but they were not called lightning rods at that time, but pins, and the room where the pins were inserted on the building was called a lightning protection room.

If it is to make lightning rods according to the specifications of the 21st century, it is of course difficult now, but it is completely possible to make them so fine and completely useful now.

Just follow the principle of the lightning rod.

That is, when the thundercloud discharge is close to the ground, it distorts the electric field on the ground. At the top of the lightning rod, a space where the local electric field is concentrated is formed to affect the development direction of the lightning leader discharge, guide the lightning to discharge to the lightning rod, and then pass through the grounding down conductor and The grounding device introduces the lightning current into the earth, so that the protected object is not struck by lightning.

In addition, the material of the lightning rod must contain a metal element. You can choose a steel pipe or an iron pipe, and then bury it underground with an iron wire.

Peter now has very skilled drawing skills. He first drew a detailed sketch of the lightning rod according to what he could do in this era, and then asked Vorontsov to call a large number of skilled blacksmiths.

Some of these blacksmiths were petty bourgeois, some were serfs, as long as they were good at work, they didn't care.

Peter showed them the drawing of the lightning rod and asked:

"Can it be done?"

Seeing this, the blacksmiths expressed respectfully and rigorously:
"Your Majesty, if it's like what's on the blueprint, it can be done."

Peter asked again, "How long will it take?"

One of the oldest blacksmiths replied:
"If it's one piece, one day will do."

Peter smiled.

Vorontsov looked at the drawing at this moment and said:

"Your Majesty, is this the artifact you mentioned?"

Does this thing have anything to do with lightning?Can a small thing achieve the effect His Majesty said?

Ever since His Majesty said those words in front of so many people, he has been very anxious, thinking about what to do if His Majesty failed, and how to remedy it.

Now he is suddenly not in a hurry because he has thought of a solution!
Since this piece of His Majesty needs blacksmiths to make it, if it fails, it must be because the blacksmiths made something wrong, which naturally does not damage His Majesty's reputation.

In his opinion, His Majesty is still too kind to Adrian, and there are not a few obedient churches at the moment. As long as the order is enforced, Adrian will not be able to cause any trouble.

To Vorontsov's question Peter replied:

"Yes, this is it."

Then he smiled:
"The Virgin Mary said that this artifact is called a lightning rod."
