Using Heavenly Thunder
Zhu Qizhen was very happy because all he needed was someone like Tong Xuan who would think about problems when he encountered them!
In the Ming Dynasty, the foundation of natural science was very poor and it was normal for everyone not to understand it.
If you are afraid, you will be afraid. If you don’t understand or think.
For thousands of years, scholars all over the world have been subjected to Confucianism and have entered a level of self-confidence and unchanging life.
Now, what the Academy of Sciences needs to do is to break the monopoly of Confucianism.
Only when you think about it and find the problem can you solve it in a targeted manner.
After lunch, Zhu Qizhen took Tong Xuan to the imperial study room and chatted for the whole afternoon.
Tong Xuan was quite reserved at first. After a conversation, he began to immerse himself in the ocean of knowledge, as if he opened the door to a new world.
Back to the Hanlin Academy, with the surprise expression of everyone, he took the order and went out to turn left and came to the Academy of Sciences.
Belin soon arranged a public housing for him, and then dispatched some personnel from other research groups to form an electrical research group, allocating 500 taels of silver at one time as startup funds.
Tong Xuan was stunned with the money!
Didn't do anything, just give money?
He was just starting out, his eyes were dark and he didn't know where to start.
Everyone else looked at him because he was the team leader.
After thinking about it, Tong Xuan decided to start with the experience of his predecessors.
The Hanlin Academy successfully demonstrated that people can attract thunder in the sky at the cost of one death and five injuries.
The emperor didn’t say that electricity is a kind of energy, and since it can be used, it can be used.
Well, start with Tianlei!
He did it as soon as he said that, and immediately arranged tasks for the team members, purchased a large amount of copper wire and other materials, and prepared for a vigorous power revolution.
A few days later, Zhu Qizhen was reviewing the memorial in the imperial study room, and Beilin came to report excitedly.
"The Emperor, the Electric Power Research Group of the Academy of Sciences is preparing to announce the latest experimental results. Please move to Fubiting and come to guide you!"
Zhu Qizhen was puzzled and asked, "Why do you want to go to Fubi Pavilion?"
Belin looked mysterious: "I am not convenient to disclose it, please move on and see!"
Zhu Qizhen nodded, put down the memorial in his hand. As soon as he went out, he saw dark clouds and another heavy rain was seen.
"It's raining, it seems that your experiment is about to be rescheduled."
But Belin shook her head and said, "Back to the emperor, this experiment is to be carried out on rainy days!"
Zhu Qizhen had a vague premonition, but he didn't say much, and followed Beilin to Fubi Pavilion in the front hall.
There are four pavilions in the Forbidden City, namely Wanchun Pavilion, Fubi Pavilion, Qianqiu Pavilion and Chengrui Pavilion.
Fubiting is connected to the Jinshui River on the West Road of Gongnei. In summer, lush lotus leaves are connected to form a unique landscape.
At this time, Tong Xuan led the power research team and was ready.
Since the last time the Academy of Sciences became famous in one battle, not only the Hanlin Academy, but also the six ministries and nine ministers all looked at the Academy of Sciences with admiration. I heard that there are new things today, so I put down my work and ran out in groups to watch the fun.
When everyone heard that the emperor was coming, they hurriedly made way.
Zhu Qizhen looked at the scene, kites, copper wire, this...
Why does it feel familiar?
Tong Xuan stepped forward and bowed and bowed.
Zhu Qizhen asked: "How is the Qing family preparing to experiment?"
Tong Xuan replied: "Inspired by the emperor, I believe that electricity is a huge energy. Therefore, after returning to the Academy of Sciences, the first research topic was how to use heavenly thunder."
Zhu Qizhen was shocked and directly used lightning?
This step seems to be a bit big!
Even in the 21st century, people cannot store and use lightning. After only a few days of research, they solved it?
He looked at the kite and copper wire suspiciously and asked, "Is this all your experimental equipment?"
"Back to the emperor, that's right!"
Looking at Tong Xuan's confident expression, Zhu Qizhen secretly praised in his heart. It is said that the ancients were so powerful, and modern people are far less intelligent than the ancients. Is it true?
If lightning can be really used, this will be a earth-shaking change. The Ming Dynasty... no, the history of science in the entire world will be completely rewritten!
Thinking of this, he nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, let's start!"
Tong Xuan received the order and began to command.
It was still a kite full of copper pieces, which was flew into the sky.
At this time, the dark clouds were getting lower and lower, and heavy rain might pour down at any time, but everyone was unwilling to leave and were waiting to witness the miracle.
Huai'en ordered someone to take Luan Gai, but Zhu Qizhen waved his hand to stop him.
Because Luan Gai will block his vision, he has to witness all the process of the experiment with his own eyes and is unwilling to miss any details.
Cracklala!
In the clouds in the horizon, positive and negative charges began to collide, lightning appeared, and then there was a deafening roar.
Everyone stared at the swaying kites in the sky, like warriors who were fearless of death, plunging into the thunder clouds.
Zhu Qizhen frowned. This situation was exactly the same as before. It was OK to attract thunder. The question was, how to store it and how to use it?
In his perception, a large battery or an engine should be connected below.
However, in the Ming Dynasty, natural sciences are just beginning, and these things are still far away.
How to use it?
Tong Xuan directed the man to release the kite, tied it to the stone pillar beside him, and then threw one end of the copper wire into the pond.
Seeing this operation, Zhu Qizhen widened his eyes. Could it be that there was some secret weapon hidden under the water?
Cool!
Another thunder exploded, and the kite in the clouds suddenly flashed!
Here comes!
I saw a huge silver dragon connected between heaven and earth.
Bang!
Lightning followed the copper wire and plunged into the pond, causing a considerable explosion.
Tong Xuan was overjoyed and shouted: "It's done!"
Zhu Qizhen looked in the sound and found nothing abnormal.
Everyone stretched their necks and looked at the pond, but nothing happened.
Gudu Gudu...
The water rolled, but a fish floated up.
This is a koi, more than half a foot long, and is an ornamental fish raised in the pond.
On weekdays, people often come to feed them, so the fish here are not afraid of people. Every time they see someone coming, they will float to the water and wait for food.
At this time, my belly was turned up and I must have been corona.
Immediately afterwards, the second and third...
Soon, the surface of the pond was full of corona fish, large and small, all kinds of fish, and all kinds of fish.
Zhu Qizhen's face was stiff and seemed to be shocked.
Tong Xuan pointed to the water and said excitedly: "Prince, please see, use the thunder to fry fish!"
Zhu Qizhen:...
Tong Xuan looked proud and continued, "I have tried it. The fish hit by thunder are electrocuted or corona, non-toxic and harmless, and can be eaten directly."
Everyone surrounded the pond, marveling, but Zhu Qizhen wanted to cry without tears.
Let you study how to generate electricity, but you are causing thunder and causing fish to explode?
Going off the wrong way!
