Chapter 1316 Lightbulb Grid Plan
"Success!" Jiang Xingchen stood up and asked loudly: "Is the light bulb?"
The materials have been solved long ago. Since tungsten was not found, Jiang Xingchen chose the carbonized bamboo wire based on his memory in his previous life. The difficulty lies in the production process of the light bulb and the vacuum experiment. Because not only does it need to extract oxygen and vital energy, but also increases the thickness of the glass to resist pressure, which requires a lot of experiments.
As for inert gases such as argon gas into the light bulb, the current technology of Xingchenling cannot be achieved. First of all, he has not yet studied the separation of gas. Of course, after electricity, you can study compressors. Whether it is gas separation or ammonia synthesis, they will play a major role in future development. Especially with the synthesis of ammonia, it will have a huge effect on future weapons development.
"That's right! For so long, our glass production technology is very mature, and we have already studied certain results before, and the process problem was solved quickly. The vacuum was referenced as an air pump, and I don't know if the effect is OK. But the light bulb was indeed lit!" Xianning said excitedly. The first electric light in the world was born in her hands, which really made her so excited.
"Let's go and have a look!" Jiang Xingchen didn't care about writing any novels. Mei'er's advice to not let her work was even left behind and trotted out of the door...
In the laboratory, thick curtains around it fell, and it was pitch black. Except for the silence of breathing in the room, everyone was waiting for Jiang Xingchen to sway the generator with his own hands.
"Buzz~" The sound of the rotor rotating at high speed sounded, and light suddenly appeared in the middle of the room, illuminating more than ten faces around.
The lights and lights made Jiang Xingchen's face flicker, but everyone could see the happy smile clearly. Just as Xianning said, the first electric light was born, and the faint power generation of the hand-cranked generator was almost as bright as lighting several candles at the same time.
"Xingchen, how about it?" Xian Ning asked with a smile.
"Very good!" Jiang Xingchen nodded with satisfaction and said, "Make another bigger generator, use a steam engine to drive the rotor, and then try again."
"Okay, I'll start right away. Call Mei'er, Grandpa Fu and others tomorrow night to experience the lights together!" Xianning nodded vigorously...
After Jiang Xingchen returned to his ward, he couldn't do anything anymore. Just like Xianning, the excitement brought by the successful development of the electric light. No matter how good his mentality is, he cannot control his inner emotional fluctuations.
The novel story can't be written anymore, and he didn't fall asleep even late. What appeared in his mind was the lights of the stars leading the future.
It was not until late at night that Jiang Xingchen's mood calmed down slightly because he thought of the next plan. The invention of the light bulb was just the beginning. The power grid construction behind was the big one. The construction of power plants and the laying of lines all require exploring from scratch, but he does not have the experience and knowledge in this area.
In addition, professionals must be trained. Electricity is not a joke, and if it is not done properly, it will cause death... There are also research on transformers, research on enameled wires, and design and use of serial and parallel connections after connecting to residents. So this is just the beginning, and it is still early to become popularized, and many problems are required for customer service.
Before he knew it, Jiang Xingchen fell asleep. When he woke up, it was the next morning, and the sun was rising.
Sit up slowly, and there were warm rice porridge on the table next to him, as well as fried wild pheasant eggs and a few side dishes. Jiang Xingchen couldn't help but smile, and it was clearly what Mei'er prepared for him. Although they have servants to serve him now, Mei'er insisted on cooking every day for cooking.
After washing and having breakfast, Jiang Xingchen sent someone to find Xianning, Grandpa Fu and Meier. The light bulb has been invented. Then the power grid plan is to be implemented. This is another super-large project, power plant, wiring laying, and home access.
Grandpa Fu and Mei'er were talking while recording, allocating funds, materials, construction, and cultivating professionals. Xianning disappeared from yesterday's excitement, very serious and serious. Just as Jiang Xingchen said, there are many difficulties that need to be overcome later, and it is very dangerous.
Not to mention that in the future, the days ahead need to go hand in hand, power grid planning, telegraph machine research and development, and clock production.
"It seems that some of the days in the future are busy!" Xian Ning said in her heart. At the same time, she was also somewhat expectant. After the injury healed, she was more enthusiastic than before. On the one hand, she was passionate about research and wanted to see these great inventions born in her hands. On the other hand, it was also a reward for Jiang Xingchen. When she just woke up, Jiang Xingchen said that it was a joke to let her work hard in the future, but she took it seriously.
"Brother, should you call Mr. Duan Qingshi?" Mei'er asked. The power grid was going to enter the house in the end. How could it work if you didn't tell Duan Qingshi?
"Go to the Lord's Mansion tonight and everyone will see the effect of the lights with their own eyes. I'll talk to him later!" Jiang Xingchen said.
"Sir, if you invest in the power grid plan immediately, you will have to use the money for building the railway... and we have more than one power grid, so we have to have it on the steel plant!" Grandpa Fu frowned and said. If the development of various places is accelerated at the same time, funds are really too short of funds, and every project is a big deal.
"The dividends of this batch of paper and cement are almost here, and there are also many sales of perfume, soap, tea, porcelain, clothing, and honey. Let's use them for preliminary preparations first!" Jiang Xingchen said.
"Sir, how can there be so many! Although these products earn a lot, they also spend a lot. The annual investment in Xincheng is more than 300 million. In addition, we have tens of thousands of craftsmen, private soldiers, and soldiers to support them. There are hundreds of thousands of workers in various places, which all require money... Also, fighting these battles has consumed a lot. The tourism industry in the territory this year is simply to pay money, plus those monsters and wild wolves..."
"Stop!" Jiang Xingchen hurriedly raised his hand, and every time Grandpa Fu calculated this for him, he was overwhelmed.
"Just tell me, are there any money invested in the early stage?" Jiang Xingchen asked.
"There are, there are, but there must be a batch of emergency responses, and you cannot devote yourself to it all! Not only do you need to select a site and survey the power grid construction, but you also need to have line installations. The preliminary preparations are also a lot!" Grandpa Fu continued to complain.
"The emergency is easy to deal with. The railway construction will not be so fast. Use that first... Han Xiaowu's construction is not a short time, and the money can be called over there!" Jiang Xingchen finished speaking. When he saw Grandpa Fu was about to speak, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Just say that, I'll make money soon. I promise!"
Grandpa Fu finally nodded and stopped talking. Jiang Xingchen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Xian Ning and Mei'er couldn't help but smile.
