Chapter 764 The officials were shocked!
Chapter 764 The officials were shocked!
"Mr. Wuhou, what you said makes sense, but this fire energy can be used to cook and wind energy can be used to drive ships. What about lightning?"
An official asked.
"Haha! Your understanding just now is wrong. Whether it is fire, water, or wind, their uses are far more than what you know!"
"The big reason why wind energy can only be used to drive warships now is that we are backward in technology and cannot use wind energy."
"And, fire energy can not only be used to cook, but also to drive warships. We only need to build the corresponding engine!"
"And similarly, electricity is the most powerful of all energy. Once developed and used reasonably, it can shock the world!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
What Lin Fan said caused a storm in the hearts of the officials. They never thought that Lin Fan could say such a shocking word.
Thunder and lightning can actually have such a great purpose, but officials still don't believe it.
"Mr. Wuhou, what you said just now is indeed a bit credible, but how to control this lightning?
We have never thought of a way!"
"Mr. Wuhou, it's not that we don't trust you, but you don't have any evidence to prove that lightning is controllable, so we can't trust you!"
The officials all spoke out.
They can still believe in the use of wind, fire, and water, but the use of lightning is too illusory.
Lin Fan said in a deep voice: "We have made the first generator in our Sihai Academy, and also made light bulbs. If you don't believe it, I can take you to take a look."
"What! Sihai Academy has made a generator?"
An official asked.
"Yes, the generators of Sihai Academy can already be used, and soon, the generators will be used throughout Sihai Academy."
"And the direct benefit of generators is that Sihai Academy no longer needs candles to shine, and the entire Sihai Academy will be particularly bright."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
this……
The officials were speechless. If this was the case, they would have nothing to say.
"Oh! Does Sihai Academy already have that generator?
If so, you can take us to see it.”
Yao Guangxiao said with interest.
A group of people set out and headed towards Sihai Academy. At this time, the students of Sihai Academy were stepping up the production of light bulbs, and Songzan Guoguo also made corresponding equipment.
Li Yan's arrival also aroused the exclamation of the students of Sihai Academy. They all put down their work and came to Li Yan.
"See Your Majesty!"
The students said one after another.
Li Yan saw that the students of Sihai Academy had extraordinary temperament. This temperament was not the elegant temperament of those great scholars, but a brand new and convincing temperament.
"Yeah, very good! I'm here today to see the generator!"
Li Yan said with a smile.
The students said one after another: "Your Majesty, there are so many wonderful things about this generator. We will guide you in front of you!"
The students led the way in front, and a group of people headed towards the generator room. As soon as they entered it, they heard the roar of machines.
Li Yan was shocked when he saw the huge iron generator. He looked at Lin Fan and said, "Lin Fan, is this the generator?
It's really strange!"
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, come here, I will cover up the beauty of this generator for you."
As he said that, Lin Fan led them to the demonstration place. When he turned on the power gate, there were arcs flying, which were extremely magical. The officials also widened their eyes because Lin Fan really controlled the lightning!
"This! This is definitely lightning! It's amazing, Lord Wenwu Hou, he really controls lightning!"
The officials said in shock.
But Lin Fan smiled and said, "This is just showing you that this generator can produce lightning. Look there, there is what I call the light bulb."
After saying that, Lin Fan pointed to the light bulb in front and said, Li Yan and the ministers looked at the light bulb. Lin Fan turned on the switch, and then the light bulb lit up.
The originally dim room was instantly illuminated, just like under the scorching sun.
The ministers were all shocked, and Li Yan said in surprise: "This! This thing is actually brighter than a hundred candles! This thunder and lightning is really magical!"
"It's amazing! If there could be such a light bulb at the home where I'm waiting for, wouldn't it be clear that I could see clearly at night?"
The officials were also surprised.
Lin Fan could already tell what it meant from the officials. They felt that this lightning was a rare thing.
It is worth letting them experience it first, and they don’t even intend to promote it to the people in the future, so that they will never use electricity.
"This is natural. If this light bulb can be installed throughout Chang'an City, think about it, can the people travel at night?"
"If this happens, there is no need for a curfew in Chang'an City. You know, you can actually do a lot of things at night!"
Lin Fan said.
"What! Lord Wuhou plans to spread this light bulb throughout Chang'an City?
This is really OK?”
officials asked.
"Of course, but one generator is not enough. Moreover, the operation of the generator requires energy consumption!"
"This generator is a coal-fired generator, which means that it only needs to consume coal. According to the current cost, it will consume about one thousand kilograms of coal every day."
"And the cost of manufacturing a generator is about one million taels of silver. The entire Chang'an City requires at least ten such generators."
"And, current needs special wires to transport, so there is a cost of about tens of millions of taels."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
hiss!
After Lin Fan said that, the officials were shocked. Unexpectedly, the cost of laying light bulbs in the entire Chang'an City was about 30 million taels.
"Mr. Wuhou, now my Tang Dynasty can't afford this money at all!"
The officials said in a deep voice.
Lin Fan said: "You guys just saw the investment in front of you, but didn't see the later income!"
"kindness?
Lord Wuhou, can you still have income in the later stage?”
An official asked.
"This is natural. I'll ask you, how long can one hold it and burn?"
Lin Fan asked.
"Mr. Wuhou, one can burn for about an hour."
The official replied.
Chapter completed!
