At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 266 What Is Electricity?

When the Academy of Sciences was first established, the Imperial Academy often ridiculed others.

Now that he had just been slapped in the face, he still took the initiative to come to the door, so he had to be ridiculed by others.

As the saying goes, the world is full of reincarnation, who will the heavens spare...

Tong Xuan secretly sighed in his heart, it's no wonder that people are so angry, just accept it!
"I would like to ask, is there a colleague in the Academy of Sciences who specializes in electricity?"

"Electricity?"

The man froze for a moment, then shook his head and said, "There is no such subject for now."

Tong Xuan was a little surprised, why didn't you mock me?
"Excuse me, who is the colleague who compiled the Encyclopedia of Natural Science?"

"That's a lot, but the article about electricity was written by Mr. Pei himself."

"Oh?"

Tong Xuan asked again: "Excuse me, where is Xueshi Bei now?"

"In the East Palace, assist the emperor in researching light steam engines."

"Steamed...chicken?"

"It is a light steam engine, because the first generation steam engine is too large to be applied to trains and ships, so it needs to be improved."

Tong Xuan didn't understand, so he could only say, "I've been taught."

The other party nodded, then turned and left.

Tong Xuan walked out of the gate of the Academy of Sciences, and suddenly realized, no, why didn't you mock me?

He looked back and saw that everyone was in a hurry, as if they had no time to pay attention to him.

Back at the Imperial Academy, the surroundings immediately became a leisurely state, drinking tea, chatting, holding a history book to talk about the past and the present, completely different from the tense and busy atmosphere of the Academy of Sciences.

Tong Xuan came to his public room and picked up a historical material of the Han Dynasty, but he couldn't read it.

All morning he had been thinking about electricity.

Electricity, what is it?
At noon, he couldn't bear it anymore, walked out of the Imperial Academy and came to the East Palace.

Fan Zhong stepped forward to stop him and asked, "What are you doing?"

"The Hanlin Academy is writing Tongxuan, please see Bachelor Bei if you have anything to do."

"Bachelor Bei is busy, I'm afraid it's inconvenient!"

Tong Xuan thought for a while and said, "Can I wait here?"

Guard Fan Zhong stared at him and looked up and down, dissatisfied: "Is your Imperial Academy full of food, always making trouble with other Academy of Sciences, is it because you lost in the competition yesterday and are not convinced?"

"Forehead……"

Tong Xuan was wronged, I haven't eaten yet!
"I have some scientific questions, and I want to ask Mr. Bei for advice in person."

"Teaching questions?"

Fan Zhong looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What's the problem?"

"A question about electricity."

"I know this. When it rains, thunder strikes, didn't it kill several people yesterday?"

Fan Zhong still has a say in the power of thunder and lightning.

He chopped off the copper wire with one knife, causing an explosion. Thinking about it afterwards, he was also terrified.

Tong Xuan smiled mischievously and said, "I'm here..."

While talking, the voice of talking came from the door, and it was getting closer.

"Just follow this model, find skilled craftsmen, and build a finished product as soon as possible!"

Tong Xuan was startled, and hurriedly prostrated himself: "My humble minister kowtows to the emperor!"

"Free gift!"

Zhu Qizhen was pulling Beilin to talk, when he saw this person, he greeted him casually, and walked over.

Belin listened attentively, nodding her head, holding a small notebook in her hand, and kept recording.

"Send a copy of the blueprint to the Nautical Academy. The steam engine on board is different. They can improve it according to actual needs based on this blueprint..."

In the middle of Zhu Qizhen's speech, he suddenly felt something was wrong, turned his head abruptly, and asked, "Who are you?"

Tong Xuan was startled, and hastily saluted, "My minister, Tong Xuan of the Hanlin Academy, kowtow to the emperor!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and asked again: "Why did you follow me?"

"Reporting to the emperor, my minister... I want to ask Bachelor Bei about something, but I see that Bachelor Bei is busy, so, so..."

Belin was puzzled, "What can you do with me?"

Tong Xuan hurriedly said: "The students read the Encyclopedia compiled by the Academy of Sciences yesterday and benefited a lot. At the same time, they also have many questions. I wonder if Bachelor Bei...can you teach me a thing or two?"

Belin asked again: "What questions?"

"It's mainly about the chapter on electricity. Students don't understand. Since electricity exists naturally, you can see it when it thunders. Where do you usually hide it? It is also said that there are electric fish in the deep sea. Fish have mortal bodies. How can they discharge electricity? If Fish can discharge electricity, so can people also discharge electricity? Yesterday in front of the Fengtian Temple, the students saw with their own eyes that electricity can be guided. The skin, hair, beard, and clothes of those colleagues were all burnt. Is it the same as fire, can generate heat? If so, how to use it?"

Tong Xuan was afraid that others would not have time to talk to him, so when he got a chance, he poured out all the doubts in his heart like beans in a bamboo tube.

Belin was stunned for a while, and for a moment, she didn't know how to answer.

Zhu Qizhen had a long-lost smile on his face, and asked, "You said just now that you are from the Imperial Academy?"

Tong Xuan hurriedly saluted and said: "Weichen is the No. 15 in the second-class examination in this year's palace examination. He was entrusted by Shengen to enter the Hanlin Academy and served as the Hanlin editor."

"Belin!"

Zhu Qizhen suddenly said: "Immediately issue a transfer letter and transfer this person to the Academy of Sciences!"

Belin wondered, "Going to the Academy of Sciences... for what?"

"Study electricity!"

Zhu Qizhen waved at Tong Xuan and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

Tong Xuan shook his head: "Not yet."

"Go, go eat with me!"

"what?"

Tong Xuan stood where he was, dumbfounded.

Fan Zhong pushed him from behind: "The emperor treats you to dinner, so hurry up and follow!"

Tong Xuan was at a loss and hurried to follow.

As Zhu Qizhen walked, he asked, "Have you read any books on natural science before?"

Hearing this, Tong Xuan looked a little guilty, and said: "Go back to the emperor, no..."

Before that, the so-called natural sciences were all tricks and tricks in his mind, and he didn't bother to read them at all.

"So, the series of questions you just asked were all based on yesterday's feelings?"

"Go back to the emperor, that's right!"

"Yes, Not Bad!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and said to Bei Lin: "This person is entrusted to you, immediately bring him a research group to study electricity!"

Belin saluted and said, "I will do it now."

Tong Xuan looked flattered, but didn't know what to do.

Belin whispered next to him: "The chapter about electricity in the book was written by the emperor himself. If you have any questions, why don't you hurry up and ask the Pope?"

Tong Xuan's expression was startled, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you, Bachelor Bei, for your guidance!"

At this moment, he was greatly shocked, he did not expect that the emperor knew so many things!
Moreover, I just asked a few questions before being transferred to the Academy of Sciences and brought myself a research group.

This is a great trust!

Thinking of this, he felt a burst of emotion.

Since then, my life has been on the verge of being electrocuted.

If you don't develop a ugly Yinmao, you can simply pull the copper wire and electrocute yourself to death!
