Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Apart from the big red flowers and silk cloth hanging on the huge machine, there was nothing else, but the workers here began to operate in an orderly manner.

When a cart of fiery carbon that had already been burned outside was poured directly into the furnace of the steam engine by the iron cart driven by a pulley pulled by a horse.

The blower driven by another small steam engine outside began to blow.

The blazing charcoal fire started to burn, and Li Shimin and the others watched in place until about half an hour later, the huge flywheel on the main steam engine began to rotate slowly.

"It's moving!" A minister couldn't hold back and shouted directly, and no one cared about him at this time.

Because the huge flywheel made of iron or steel probably weighs a thousand kilograms, and the flywheel cannot be driven by manpower, so it started to rotate like this, and the speed began to get faster and faster.

When the speed of the flywheel reaches a certain level, the speed-controlling steam valve above starts to automatically release steam to control the speed of the flywheel, and the huge flywheel starts to drive the machines next to it to rotate.

To be honest, Li Ke didn't even know if this was Datang's first steam turbine.

Although there is a big gap between it and the tall and heavy steam turbines of the later generations, which can easily have [-] to [-] horsepower, it may only be based on the principle of convenience, but it uses steam, right?

"Your Highness, everything is going well. The generator is running well! The lighting test can be carried out." The director of the power plant ran over excitedly.

"Father, press this." Li Ke took the wooden switch from the side with ease, and there was a long wire attached to it.

To be honest, no one knows how much Li Ke spent to strip out these cables in the warehouse. Datang can barely produce the wires on the poles outside, but this kind of cables with insulating materials can be produced by Datang. no.

The main reason is that the output of rubber and eucommia gum cannot keep up. To be precise, it is eucommia gum. Rubber is still a small sapling, and it has a fart.

Eucommia gum can also be used for insulation, but the output of Eucommia gum is not enough, and processing Eucommia gum into special shapes is also a problem in the current production line.

Therefore, these cables were pulled out by Li Ke from the warehouse in his mind. Fortunately, he can directly bring them out when he touches these cables, otherwise, Li Ke would have to disassemble them several times Year.

Li Shimin took the switch: "Just flip it down?"

"Yes, just pull it down." Li Ke nodded.

Li Shimin directly turned the wooden switch to the other side, and then several large light bulbs arranged on the surrounding walls were directly lit up!The light bulb tested here was also taken out by Li Ke.

Datang Bulb Factory is already able to produce, but the efficiency is a bit slow, and it will not be able to produce until some subsequent machines and production lines are completed.

But the efficiency is not very high. Until the Shangyuan Festival next year, it is estimated that all the light bulbs in Datang Everbright City can barely keep up with the progress, but some important occasions inside must use the light bulbs disassembled by Li Ke.

Also so-called.

The so-called "one life is two, two is three, three is all things." With the first one, there will be countless others!

When the bright light bulb completely illuminated the entire venue, all the craftsmen applauded enthusiastically. Although Li Shimin didn't know what it meant, he also started applauding, and other ministers naturally followed suit. up.

Although they don't know what it is, they do know that such a glass-covered thing emits a bright light that far surpasses countless candles, and this kind of light is definitely not afraid of the wind. Only a few light bulbs can illuminate such a large venue. so bright.

Doesn't this mean that the night of Datang will finally be lit by these bulbs?Is this electricity?

"Historist, is Qiju Lang there?" Li Ke asked.

"The minister is here." Several people stood up.

"Remember one sentence, this is an insignificant switch that my father flicked, but it opened up a new era of energy for mankind! This is a small step for my father, but it is a giant leap for human civilization! "Li Ke said seriously.

"Yes!" The historian and the living man were a little excited. They had completely witnessed a major event in the Tang Dynasty, although they were ignorant and didn't quite understand what it meant.

But Li Ke knows that electricity, an energy source, will play a very important role in the era of human civilization, and this time...maybe incomparably long!Unless one day some spirit revives in this world, countless new energy and energy emerge.

Otherwise, electricity will run through most of the future civilizations of mankind.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Ke strangely, this... is quite a big word.

Of course Li Shimin and the others understand the word human beings. One small step for Li Shimin, one giant leap for human civilization?He obviously thought more about what this meant than the other ministers.

Moreover, even though Li Shimin doesn't quite understand what it means to make Li Ke say such words, he knows that perhaps in the future, this sentence will carry more weight in the history books than his Tian Khan and the like. Much more.

"Your Highness, shall we continue to test the next step?" the craftsman continued to ask.

"Of course!" Li Ke nodded.

"Get ready to test the motor!" The craftsman here immediately said loudly.

The motor, that is, the motor, this thing...how should I put it, it is amazing before I figure out all the principles of electricity.

But after figuring out all the principles, the motor is really simple. As long as the simple motor is not hand-wounded, anyone can wind it out by hand.

In Datang, the difficulty is not high, it is nothing more than copper wire, the difficulty of copper wire production is slightly higher, but in fact, with the steam engine, copper wire and copper wire drawing are much simpler.

At least it is much simpler than before.

Winding a motor...is easy, of course.

Li Ke took Li Shimin and the others to another room. In this room, there is an improved spinning jenny machine, oh, it is now called Shuwang spinning machine.

It can use a brand-new motor as power. Although it is small in size, it also means that Datang's industrial revolution has completely started.

The King of Shu spinning machine has never been exposed to the outside world. Although Li Ke changed the title of King of Qin, its name has not been changed by the craftsmen, because the name is a commemoration.

But today, dozens of ministers from the Tang Dynasty saw this brand new spinning machine of King Shu with their own eyes.

It is actually different from the original spinning jenny that Li Ke took out. Most of all the parts have been changed to iron. In addition, it is also equipped with brand new power facilities such as bearings.

When a motor next to it was ready, several craftsmen quickly connected all its cables.

"You guys start right away, let's watch the ceremony." Seeing that the craftsman was about to hand over the switch again, Li Ke waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Yes!" The craftsman was not polite, and said loudly, "It's the first motor test, ready to start."

A dozen or so craftsmen around the motor stared at the motor without blinking, and each of them held a notebook, paper and pen in their hands.

After finishing speaking, the craftsman directly pressed the switch in his hand.

Then the motor started to rotate quickly, especially the flywheel outside it rotated very fast.All craftsmen immediately started a series of procedures such as inspection and recording.

Once they were done, the motor stopped again and they started belting the motor's flywheel.

After the belt was installed, these craftsmen restarted the motor. When the motor started to rotate, driving the flywheel of the spinning machine to rotate rapidly, more than a dozen silk threads were simultaneously spun into silk threads at a terrifying speed and wound on the silk spindles. above.

This scene made all the ministers go crazy. For the first time, they felt what a new energy era is!
