Chapter 1581 Pies that fell from the sky? (Da Zhang asks for a monthly ticket)(1/9)
The chaotic situation in Chang'an City did not prevent the construction of the power generation workshop.
Originally, everyone was not very clear about their progress, but because of Addison's affairs, everyone focused on the power generation workshop.
Any progress in this matter will be remembered.
Although this made some people very unhappy, it also made some people feel relieved.
"Langjun, Guanshishan Academy has increased the order volume of copper wires. Now we don't have to worry about whether the workshops that have just begun to expand will have no future."
Lu Ming has been running hard to Lu Xuan during this period.
I didn’t see Lu Xuan a few times a year before, but now I can see him several times a month.
This is a very important thing for people like him who still have some ambitions.
Why do many people in later generations look for opportunities to show their presence in front of their leaders?
Isn't it just because I want to get a promotion and a salary increase?
That's all.
‘This is the Changsun Party who is behind the scenes, but he didn’t expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would completely ignore it.
I guess Chang'an Chong is going to be so angry.
If Changsun Wuji was still in Chang'an City, the situation might have been even more complicated.'
Although the relationship between the Lu family of Fanyang and the princelings was not good.
But as far as the power generation workshop is concerned, Lu Xuan is obviously still standing on the side of Guanshishan Academy.
Because of the development of electricity, the demand for copper wire will be a very large increase.
This is related to the interests of the Lu family in Fanyang's copper smelting and cooking.
It also affects the future benefits of their family's expedition teams everywhere.
If the expedition team finds new copper ore in the Americas or Australia, but the copper price continues to fall, it will be embarrassing.
Is this development or not?
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince is just a deed that you impeached you. I am mine. All the impeachment memorials are kept at the end of the day.
I heard that many people on the Censorate are still thinking about making a joint impeachment memorial, but I don’t know if I can do it.”
"Everyone is smart, and this is obviously a matter of mantis armed in a car. There are not necessarily so many people who will join forces.
If the Censorate really has this courage, then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely have tough means waiting for them.
Look at the Yang Benman who resisted, after he became famous for his "Yang Benman's name".
If it weren't for the Tang Dynasty's ships roaming all over the world, Yang Benman's Yang family tea industry would have developed very well, so Yang Benman would probably have been infamous for thousands of years."
Lu Xuan spent almost all these years in Chang'an City.
He naturally has a very say in all kinds of things that have happened over the years.
"In order to make everyone realize that no one can stop the construction of power generation workshops, His Royal Highness fully supports the development of power-related industries. I estimate that the development speed of power-related industries will be faster than we imagined.
Langjun, should we also speed up the expansion of the workshop?”
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Ming threw out the main purpose of his coming today.
No matter which shopkeeper you are, I definitely hope that the bigger the workshop you manage, the better.
"Accelerating can speed up, but there is one problem we need to pay attention to.
The "Datang Daily" does not mean that the copper wire is prone to electric shock when it is powered on. If it is used as a wire, it is very likely that something imitates electric shock can be wrapped around it.
You need to study how we should produce this new type of transmission wire.
Otherwise, the electric shock accident will occur due to our copper wire, and it will be a big trouble."
Lu Xuan recently studied papers and articles related to electricity and has also gained some new understanding of electricity.
Obviously, the topic of electric shock will be inevitable for a long time to come.
Even more or less, electric shock accidents may occur.
At this time, we naturally need to avoid this matter being involved with our own workshop.
"Langjun, I heard that there are already many people studying this matter in the Shufangcheng.
According to the latest news released by the Steam Engine Research Institute of Guanshishan Academy, we need to wrap an insulating layer outside the copper wire.
But we are still asking what is insulated, that is, it is not conductive.
I think this matter will come to an end soon.”
Lu Ming naturally considered things that Lu Xuan could realize.
However, their workshop is positioned as smelting of copper ingots and processing of copper wires. There is no plan to make the workshop's business scope too diverse.
Therefore, for the insulating materials, they are more interested in cooperating with other workshops.
Or they continue to sell it to other workshops, and others process the transmission copper wire wrapped in the insulating layer and come out.
"You are ready, you still have to pay more attention to this matter."
Lu Xuan had no intention of doing everything himself.
But this matter is more critical, so he asked specifically.
...
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Michelin, this ammeter has not changed at all. Will it be broken?"
In the Michelin rubber workshop, Wang Heng and Michelin were doing experiments in the laboratory.
"No, I just connected the copper wire to the wire, and the ammeter has obvious rotation. It is impossible to break it now, right?"
Wang Heng said with some uncertainty.
"Let's increase the voltage again. Normally, the larger the voltage, the larger the value displayed in this ammeter."
Michelin made a suggestion.
However, as the voltmeter values rise, the ammeter still has no movement.
"It's still not rotating. Is this rubber really not conductive at all?
Even if it is wood, we have a little conductive performance after just now."
Wang Heng was very curious and quickly touched the rubber with his fingers, and then quickly left.
But there was no feeling of electric shock.
"Wang Heng, this is a good thing. Aren't we going to participate in the research on insulating materials now?
Since this rubber is a good material, it is the best news for us.
If it is other materials, we may not have much experience and need to consider whether to intervene in this industry.
But if it is rubber, there is nothing to worry about.
Our workshop’s main business will revolve around rubber in the future, but the products are not limited to pneumatic tires.
Being able to discover more uses of rubber means that our workshop will become more abundant in the future, which is the best news."
Michelin breathed a sigh of relief and felt more anticipated.
“This rubber is really amazing and always gives people unexpected surprises.
According to the experimental list we have compiled at present, in addition to various metal materials, rubber is easier to process.
Things like stones and soil are not very conductive, but obviously do not have processing value.
As for metals, whether silver, copper, or iron, they have good electrical conductivity and are simply impossible to make insulating materials.”
“Yes, the next step we need to consider is how to wrap the rubber outside the copper wire.
Once the research on this process is completed, we will know which type of rubber product we need to produce.
However, I think we only need to study this process of making insulated copper wires, and we may not necessarily have to produce copper wires ourselves.
After all, this is not what we are good at, we just need to make rubber products well."
Michelin has always had its own unique insights into the direction of product research and development.
Although many workshops are taking the route of diversified operations, they are working hard to enrich their product styles.
However, Michelin has always adhered to one view that it only produces rubber products in its own workshop.
It’s good that other industries have a lot of promise, so let’s leave it to others.
This kind of concentration is actually very rare in this era full of opportunities.
"If you want to wrap rubber on copper wire, the processing technology of this rubber must be very different from the ones we use on pneumatic tires.
It is necessary to study the formula carefully and see which smelting method is the most suitable for making insulating materials.
