"Play!"

A sound of electric sparks was simply the most pleasant sound in Hong Yi's ears.

"Lai Jiayu, our lead-acid battery can indeed be recharged and discharged repeatedly.

Although there are still some problems, I think the research ideas you have raised are not any problems."

Hong Yi was a little excited and talked to Lai Yuanhong.

Since cooperating with his Hongyi Production Institute and Lai Yuanhong, battery research has made great progress.

"Hong Yi, I think although this lead-acid battery is a very important research direction, there should be no problem when used in the engine.

But I think this is just an application of the battery, and it should have many other applications.

I don’t know if you read the latest published Science Journal yesterday?

A joint article by Li Yan and Zhao Xiaoer from the Steam Engine Research Institute of Guanshishan Academy was published on it.

In their articles, they introduce in detail the working principle of the electric light and the discovery process.

And the experimental results of various filaments were published in the paper.

To be honest, I think this may be the most important paper in the Tang Dynasty's science and technology circle in the 22nd year of Zhenguan, no doubt about it."

Lai Yuanhong also has a certain understanding of the progress of the Engine Research Institute.

Obviously, until now, they have not even made a prototype.

In this case, it is definitely not a matter of one or two days to mass-produce the engine on a large scale.

But Hongyi Production has invested so much resources to develop batteries.

If there has never been a way to mass-produce batteries and provide funds for the workshop.

Then it is hard to say when this project can last.

Many times, your research may not be wrong, but you often cannot wait for the final gain.

Because before dawn comes, you may have died.

"I have read that paper, it is indeed very impactful.

Steam generators are used to generate electricity, converting the energy of cellular coal combustion into electrical energy.

Then using electricity to light up the light bulb is definitely a very innovative thing.

But I think that under such a lot of trouble, it only provides electricity to a small number of light bulbs.

Is this a bit too high?

Even wealthy businessmen may not be able to afford it.”

As the shopkeeper of a workshop, Hong Yi is obviously more concerned about the costs and benefits of a project.

Obviously, the cost of electric lights is very high at this point in time.

And the cost of power generation is not to mention.

He also has a steam generator in his own workshop to assist in his research.

So he knew very well how high the cost of a steam generator was and how low the input-output ratio was.

"The production cost of any new thing will definitely be very high.

Because their current production status is still in the laboratory state, they have not entered large-scale industrial production.

Once it is operated by building professional workshops, the cost of these products will definitely drop significantly.

At that time, their opportunity came.

Of course, I mentioned the light bulb to you today, not to say that you want to transfer the research direction of the workshop to this field.

Instead, I think there can be some connection between batteries and light bulbs.

For example, can we directly use batteries to power the light bulbs so that the light bulbs can be lit anytime and anywhere?

If our battery is made small enough, can we just walk with it?

This way, the battery and light bulb can replace the torch?"

Lai Yuanhong expressed his thoughts in one breath.

Obviously, this year had already emerged in his mind when he read the Journal of Science.

Hongyi Productions should not just simply study batteries.

Instead, we should find ways to find better application scenarios for the battery.

Only in this way can the battery enter the stage of mass production immediately.

"Lai Jiayu, what do you mean is that our workshop can produce a movable lighting device?"

Hong Yi digested Lai Yuanhong's words and his eyes gradually brightened.

Obviously, this thing has never appeared before.

But just listening to it, you can feel that it should be very promising.

In the current Tang Dynasty, even in the mansions of noble families, lighting is a problem.

Although there are already kerosene lamps and cheap whale oil candles, indoor lighting is OK, and if you go outdoors, it will not be so convenient.

Even if it is a kerosene lamp with a glass lampshade, it is not satisfactory to use due to its limited brightness.

If the battery and light bulb can be really combined, that would be amazing.

"Yes! The lead-acid batteries we are currently studying in our workshop can be recharged and discharged.

Once electricity is popularized to a certain extent in the future, its application prospects are very broad.

Of course, you may be worried that some people will not be able to charge the battery after buying it, so that they will not be able to fully utilize its advantages.

Then we can also study a battery that does not require charging.

In recent experiments, we have actually encountered situations where this kind of battery can be made.

This kind of battery that does not require charging is easier to make and cheaper.

I think I can now go to the Steam Engine Research Institute of Guanshishan Academy to discuss it and see if I can buy a batch of light bulbs for them to cooperate with our batteries for experiments."

Although Lai Yuanhong was just a teacher at Guanshishan Academy.

However, he traveled around the world and even stayed in Southeast Asia for several years, and his experience was still very extraordinary.

Besides, few of the teachers who watch Shishan Academy these days are real nerds.

"From the situation described in the paper, the light bulbs at Guanshishan Academy Steam Engine Research Institute are still in the experimental stage.

In this case, we go to them to buy it, will they be willing?"

Although Hong Yi was also born in Guanshishan Academy, everyone knows that everyone often attaches great importance to his research results.

If you have entered commercial production, then naturally there is no problem with how much you want to buy.

Just give the money in place.

However, if it is a product in the experimental stage, many people are worried that others will overtake after using these products for research.

Therefore, it is also very common for unwilling to sell products at this stage.

"Although light bulbs have not been produced on a large scale, judging from the data on their papers.

The lifespan of the latest light bulb has reached more than a hundred hours.

In this case, it actually has some commercial value.

I think they dare to publish this paper, and they must be somewhat sure of their research on this light bulb.

Besides, if they really don’t want to, we can promise that Hongyi Production will not involve the production and production of light bulbs in the future.

Our main business is to make batteries, but to produce lighting equipment that utilizes batteries.”

Lai Yuanhong is obviously more confident than Hong Yi.

Everyone is considered a person in the same circle, and they don’t want to compete with you. What’s there to hesitate about?

To put it bluntly, Hongyi Production Institute went to buy light bulbs, which is actually a good thing for Li Yan and the others.

After all, after their light bulbs are developed, they must also consider the future industrialization issues.

Before the power problem was solved, the mobile lighting equipment produced by Hongyi Production may be the main market for light bulbs.

"Well, no matter what they think, I'll go over to discuss with them in the afternoon.

If they want, then it is naturally the best.

If they really don’t want to, then we will also make a batch of light bulbs, which is not impossible to consider.

Anyway, we are just trying to confirm the effectiveness of our batteries now.”

Hong Yi, who has already felt the future of this project, is now very interested in the plan proposed by Lai Yuanhong.

Once this plan is implemented, then his Hongyi Production Institute will completely gain a reputation in the Tang Dynasty.
