in a few days

University of California, Electrical Energy Applications Laboratory

This comprehensive university with the largest scale, the highest level of scientific research, and the most complete curriculum in the Tang Dynasty is also one of the top universities with the highest level of research and development in the world today. His Majesty the King will come to inspect it every two or three months to meet the high-level Scholars and professors discuss development issues at the forefront of science and technology.

After going to the material application laboratory, His Majesty the King came here to listen to the relevant reports on the research and development of electric energy application equipment, which seemed to be very important.

The first industrial revolution was the great emancipation of productivity marked by the application of steam power, and the second industrial revolution was the blossoming of technology represented by electrification and chemical engineering, which had sprouted in the middle of the 1th century and was accumulating strength for thick and thin development.

Of course, the Datang Kingdom cannot miss this wave of technology, and must lead the world's electrification industrial revolution. It has continuously invested in research and development, and has achieved fruitful results.

Since Faraday, a British physicist, discovered the law of electromagnetic induction in 1831, top scientists from all over the world have devoted themselves to research in the field of electromagnetism and achieved rapid development.

At present, there are two main research and development directions in this frontier field; one is complete sets of generator equipment and power transmission equipment.One is the application of electric energy.

In the field of generator complete equipment development, in 1832, French scientist Pixie made the original generator by applying the principle of electromagnetic induction.

The original generator equipment was relatively bulky, and its driving force was manpower, so it was difficult to obtain high-power current by increasing the speed.

From 1833 to 1835, Saxstone and Clark invented new devices such as rotating coil armature and stationary magnet structure. The introduction of these new devices greatly reduced the operating equipment of the generator, thereby improving the generator's efficiency. Rotating speed.

The research and development results of Datang Kingdom's electric energy application laboratory are that the German scientist Siemens made a major improvement on the generator and made it into an electromagnet generator.

The electromagnet generator uses electromagnets instead of permanent magnets to enhance the magnetic force and can generate a powerful current that is far beyond the reach of Pixie's generators. It has the ability to be popularized and applied in reality.

During the improvement of Siemens generator, the Italian physicist Pachinuti invented the ring generator armature.This kind of armature is to replace the coil wound on the iron mandrel by winding the coil on the iron ring, thereby improving the efficiency of the generator.

inspired by this
Siemens used Pacchinuti's annular generator armature to manufacture a generator set with excellent performance at the end of 1858. This generator has excellent performance and already has the main features of future generators. It began to be used in factories, mines and other fields Promote apps.

Shortly thereafter, the Kingdom Fund, the University of California, the Government Science and Technology Fund and Professor Siemens held 60%, 18%, 15% and 7% of the shares respectively to establish Siemens Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd., which is dedicated to the production, development and promotion of complete sets of generator equipment and power transmission. equipment.

in the field
The Datang Kingdom has already taken the lead, and Mr. Siemens, a German scientist, who was famous in the German industry in history, traveled across the ocean to develop his career because he was hired by the University of California, Datang Kingdom with a high salary.

In terms of respecting knowledge and talents, California has formed an unprecedentedly relaxed and favorable environment, and has formed a top innovation force centered on the laboratories of various colleges and universities. It has a worldwide reputation and is known as the "Science Valley".

No matter which country the experts and professors come from, as long as they have real talents and knowledge, they can be respected and hired with high salaries here. It is very convenient for teaching and educating people, conducting scientific research, applying for patents, and holding scientific lectures.

The World Science Conference held in California last year attracted many European scientists to stay in this sunny and beautiful seaside city for development, which made Chang'an City more and more famous.

only these few years
A series of colleges and universities such as the Canadian Institute of Technology, the North American Institute of Petrochemical Engineering, the Royal Medical University, and the Canadian Teachers College have been established one after another, further enriching the strength of Chang'an's scientific and technological circles and creating a more intense research and development atmosphere.

The second research direction, the application field of electric energy is mainly electric lamps.

The electric lamp is a lighting source that emits light and heat through electric energy. The world's first incandescent lamp was invented by Henry Goebbels (Edison actually found a suitable material, that is, invented a practical incandescent lamp, and the light bulb was as early as appeared in 1).

The accurate technical name of the light bulb is "incandescent lamp". The periphery of the light bulb is made of glass, and the filament is kept under a vacuum or a low-pressure inert gas to prevent the filament from oxidizing at high temperature.

The current R&D challenge is;

The filament life of incandescent lamps is relatively short, only an average of 400 hours, and there is still a slight gap between popularization and application.

"Since we can't find a suitable material for the filament, we'll experiment extensively." Li Cha didn't want to cheat on such a trivial matter, so he waved his hand to use the banknote ability, and transferred to the university president to order;

"The laboratory will make a table to list all kinds of high-temperature-resistant materials that may be applied to the filament, and test them one by one. There are so many college students in the school, and they will recruit some R&D assistants by issuing subsidies to complete this project as soon as possible. Similar methods can be used for a large number of simple and repeated experiments in the future, freeing up scientists to do more important research."

"My minister understands, and arrange as soon as possible according to His Majesty's instructions."

"In some important scientific research projects in the future, arrange some scientific research assistants for professors, free them from heavy basic experiments, and try to provide them with better research conditions."

"Your Majesty is kind, I will keep it in my heart."

"Ah."

After giving the order, Li Cha felt relieved.

If the laboratory invented the durable incandescent light bulb earlier than Edison in history, then with the practical application of generator equipment, the electrification process can be started.

In Chang'an, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and other world-class cities, the brilliant lights are the symbol of the night life of the metropolis, which can drive the night economy and enrich the cultural life of mankind. It is of great social significance and contains huge economic benefits.

The world's early large electrical equipment companies all started from the seemingly inconspicuous electric lamps, gradually accumulated strong development capital, and applied electrification equipment to a wider range of fields. This is a process of gradually expanding market demand.

It is human nature to yearn for light at night, and they will be intoxicated in the illusion created by gorgeous lights. The most typical examples are nightclubs and bars, streets with blurred lights at midnight, and luxurious night banquets that the upper class linger on, all of which are incandescent lamps. broad market.

It has to be said that in order to promote the industrial development process of the Tang Kingdom and find a support point for future industrial development, Li Cha was as worried as his old father.

"Professor Siemens, first of all, I would like to congratulate you. The first batch of Siemens generator products have been highly praised in the industry. This has added new strength to the industrial development of the kingdom, which is not easy!" Li Cha said with a smile.

Professor Siemens saluted his chest with a humble expression, raised his head and said gratefully; "Thanks to the enthusiasm of this city for scientific researchers, Siemens Electric Co., Ltd. has been able to make great progress. kindness."

"You're welcome. The Tang Kingdom has always respected knowledge. It is more willing to create an atmosphere conducive to scientific development. It is willing to explore the unknown and promote industrialization to benefit mankind. This is the original intention of the king and the consistent policy of the government."

Speaking of here
Li Cha turned to the crowd and said loudly in an inflammatory tone;

"Knowledge is wealth and knowledge is power.

From the development history of Siemens Electric Company and Nobel Chemicals Company, we can see that Datang Kingdom welcomes experts and scholars from all over the world to come here to start businesses and develop, and to turn their ingenuity into reality for the benefit of everyone.

in this process

Both the government and private forces are willing to invest in creation and invention. With sufficient soil and government support, technology-based enterprises can thrive and bear fruit.

In terms of finance, taxation and capital, the Royal Government has preferential support policies for technology-based enterprises, which reflects the Royal Government's greatest sincerity, which cannot be achieved in any country in the world.

Nobel Chemical Company has developed rapidly since its establishment, and its sales last year reached 730 million yuan. This company has also become a star enterprise in the Kingdom. Professor Nobel has received huge benefits and government awards for this, and was awarded the Lifetime Baron of the Kingdom award.

The Kingdom's laws protect the interests of experts and professors, and protect the sanctity of all research and development achievements.

The Kingdom advocates freedom of belief. Here, you will not be persecuted because of your religious beliefs. This situation exists widely in European and American countries, so I won't go into details.

Here, as long as experts and scholars are willing to join Chinese descent, you can marry as many women as you want, of course, there is only one wife.

Datang Kingdom is the country with the most open and relaxed social atmosphere, and the best research and development environment. California is the best in this regard, and everyone must have experienced it for themselves.

Here again I solemnly promise as king;

Datang Kingdom unswervingly maintains legal dignity, protects and respects intellectual property rights, and respects talents. This will not change in the next 100 years or even longer. "

His Majesty's impromptu speech won a tidal wave of applause, and the experts and scholars present were so excited that they could not wait to write the good news to their friends in Europe immediately, so that they could pack their bags and come to California.

It's so good here, it's a paradise for scientific research.

In today's European feudal kingdoms, apart from Britain, which is more enlightened, the attitude towards scientists in other countries is generally to prevent and suppress, and many of them are thrown into prisons at every turn.

The United Kingdom first proposed and passed the "Patent Law", but this stuff was not liked at all in many feudal kingdoms in Europe, and no one took it seriously.

Plagiarism of British scientific research results abounds. The British can only block the export of sensitive industrial equipment, such as the Jenny textile machine. The British strictly guard against exporting to the United States.

No way, Yankees do not have the concept of patents.
