Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 677 Generators

The steam locomotive quickly shuttled through the green fields, and Newton carefully observed the changes in time and distance.

He didn't dare to look back at her cousin, but he was secretly happy that he was actually kissed by his cousin.

Cousin Newton saw that her cousin was really serious about calculations, so she didn't want to disturb her. Finally, she was invited by Princess Mary to watch the scenery outside the window with Princess Mary.

Boyle in the other carriage was so attracted by an article titled "The Phenomenon of Co-heating of Sulfur and Rubber" in an unknown academic journal in Ming Dynasty that he forgot to appreciate the scenery of the Yangtze River.

Hooker has been thinking about what would happen if Daming's steam locomotive collided with another one, and whether it satisfied the law of collision.

When the steam locomotive arrived in the suburbs of Beijing, Newton and others changed the carriage, and Jin Yiwei was responsible for bringing it into the capital.

In the name of meeting Princess Mary, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian received Princess Mary and Newton and others in Qianqing Palace.

What Zhu Youjian is most interested in is Newton. For Western women like Princess Mary, he doesn't have much expectations. After all, they are just the same physical structure, and most of them have different skin colors.

This is the first time Zhu Youjian has seen Western fans from England. He has an instinctive vigilance towards this country. After all, in his memory, he was the one who fired the first shots of the modern powers.

"Which of you can speak Chinese?"

Zhu Youjian first asked this question. What he is most concerned about now is the degree of promotion of Chinese in the world. This is also the most important reference standard for him to identify second- and third-class citizens. If these people in front of him can’t even speak Chinese, he will Not much interest in talking to them anymore.

Newton and Boyle stood up: "Newton (Boyle) has met His Majesty the Emperor of Ming!"

"You are Newton? When did you learn Chinese?" Zhu Youjian didn't expect that Newton had already learned Chinese, so he couldn't help laughing, pointing to the two Western women in the veil, and asked:

"Which one is your lover?"

Newton was a little dumbfounded, and couldn't help but froze in place, not knowing how to answer for a while.

And his cousin was staring at Newton at this time.

"I asked you something, why didn't you answer?" Zhu Youjian asked sternly.

"Your Majesty, I don't know who my lover is, the question you asked,
"Your Majesty, Emperor Ming, I don't know who my lover is. Newton doesn't know how to answer the question you ask."

Newton replied suddenly.

Zhu Youjian couldn't help laughing dumbfounded: "Didn't you say that Newton is very smart, but I don't seem to be able to see it today, anyway, let Newton go to be an assistant to Xu Yin of the Imperial University, since he has no lover, let his cousin Responsible for taking care of his food and daily life."

"Boyle, you go to Fang Yizhi of Daming Industrial Academy to be a chemical assistant!"

"Hu Ke is sent to participate in the research and development of the steam armored warship."

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian pointed to Princess Mary after finishing the arrangements: "Take her to see the queen, and let her come to the Qing Palace tonight.

In the evening, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian returned to the Palace of Marshal, and really began to get close to Princess Mary of the British royal family.

Zhu Youjian lifted her veil, and saw a fair duck-egg face under the golden curly hair, a pair of royal blue eyes with eyelashes slightly drooping, hands like water onions placed between the legs that were close together, holding the bracelet .

Zhu Youjian held her hand and slowly moved closer.

Silent all night.

Wait until the next day is already bright.

Red spots like plum blossoms were left on the brocade couch. Princess Yingjili became the wife of Emperor Zhu Youjian of the Ming Dynasty, and was named permanent residence soon after.

Newton began to like life in Daming, because here he can not only continue to study his favorite mathematics and physics, but also get along with his cousin day and night.

But Newton seems to have never learned how to improve his relationship with girls.

Although he ate and lived with his cousin, he never chose to propose to his cousin.

However, Newton has already established a good relationship with Xu Yin.

Even successfully helped Xu Yin explain the principle of electromagnetic induction in more detail, and evolved several formulas rooted in the law of electromagnetic induction.

Xu Yin used Daming's existing mechanical knowledge to create a sketch for the generator, and Newton helped him successfully establish the mathematical model of the thermal generator.

As a result, the time required for Xu Yin to complete the drawings of the thermal generator was shortened a lot.

After Newton mastered the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction and the technology of using chemical reactions to manufacture batteries from Xu Yin, he also became fascinated by electrification research.

In the summer of Chongzhen's 45th year, Xu Yin's team manufactured the first DC generator.

Naturally, Newton also participated in this.

The first DC generator was first applied to the lighting application of electric lamps, and the Ministry of Industry of Daming helped the Manufacturing Bureau to build the first thermal power plant in Daming.

The first thermal power plant consisted of only ten generators to form a generating set, and first took the Shufang at the right gate of Chang'an as the test area to construct a household electrical circuit diagram.

Soon, at the end of the year, almost every household in the Chang'an Right Gate area was connected to electricity, but the power was not strong, and the lighting was still worse than the mercury lamps of later generations, but it was much better than candles.

Although, from time to time, power outages or even electric leakage and electric shock accidents often occur because of circuit failures.

However, with the improvement of technology, by the autumn of Chongzhen 46, the Changan Youmen area had begun to fully realize the popularization of safe electric lights, and low-cost electricity was provided by engines.

The people of Ming Dynasty were shocked by the appearance of electric lights at the beginning, but they did not expect to be able to install electric lights in every house, and even meet the demand for long-term lighting.

The Cabinet Ministry of Industry began to approve the establishment of several batches of thermal power plants and added many generating units.

As a result, the entire capital city of Ming Dynasty achieved the goal of electrification, but the environmental impact became more and more serious, and the air quality in the city began to decline. In addition, the demand for coal was also increasing sharply.

But fortunately, the people of Ming Dynasty don't care about the environmental experience, they only care about the industrial experience, so they don't care.

And there is no need to worry about coal. Today's Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, and the railway transportation is increasingly developed, which is completely sufficient to meet the domestic demand for coal.

Xu Yin's team is still working on the improvement of generators, not only trying to manufacture alternators, but also trying to manufacture hydroelectric generators, so as to realize the accumulation of electric energy by using hydraulic mechanical energy.

However, the manufacturing of hydroelectric generator sets is more difficult, so Xu Yin and his team members such as Newton had to continue to concentrate on research.

Although electrification is the forefront of Ming Dynasty's current technological development, the manufacturing of locomotives still occupies the mainstream of research.

With the invention and manufacture of steam locomotives, Fang Yizhi's team has been thinking about developing a steam locomotive that can replace horses and make it easier for people to travel.
