Chapter 131

On Blue Star.

Qin Mu looked at the conversation between Yan and Shen Lian and showed a gratified smile.

"I didn't expect that even without my guidance, someone would trigger research on electricity..."

Shen Lian's sudden appearance was something he didn't expect.

A dignified immortal cultivator actually immersed himself in science.

Standing out from three hundred million people.

Trying to use lightning as a carrier to transmit sound.

And this method...

Is undoubtedly the most correct path.

In the development of civilization, after the steam age.

What follows.

Is the electrical age.

Steam reformed power, promoting the rise of factories.

And electricity...

Is a more thorough power revolution.

Its appearance will overturn all previous production methods and lifestyles.

Leading Blue Star to another era of rapid development.

However...

For now.

Electricity has appeared, but it is still in the lowest stage of research.

Still very immature and extremely immature.

It still needs constant perfection.

Great Yan Calendar Year 80.

This year.

Yan is already 116 years old.

Although he takes medicine made from spiritual herbs of the immortal cultivation world every day.

But after eating it for decades.

His body has gradually developed drug resistance.

The life-extending effects of those low-rank spiritual herbs are becoming smaller and smaller.

His body has begun to age again.

And the Great Yan Kingdom is in its prime, running rapidly like a fierce horse.

The national power value is higher year by year.

Palace, in the hall.

People from the Research Institute are reporting the invention situation over the past year.

"Your Majesty, in the past year, the number of inventions and creations approved has exceeded one hundred thousand for the first time."

"Among them, 2,316 items have significant application value, and the Research Institute is preparing to promote and popularize them nationwide."

"And regarding research on the application of electricity, theoretical research in terms of materials, conductivity, properties, etc., is also increasing."

"..."

Because of Shen Lian's appearance.

Driven by the role model effect.

A wave of research on electricity has surged nationwide.

Various theoretical studies on electricity are often submitted to "Great Yan Science."

Although many are nonsense and have no value.

But there are often a few eye-catching articles in the private sector that deeply study the various properties of lightning.

And because of this...

The Great Yan Research Institute now understands electricity more and more deeply.

Yan sat on the dragon chair and nodded slightly.

Then asked: "How is the progress of artificial electricity generation?"

Among the people from the Research Institute.

Shen Lian hurriedly stood out: "Replying to Your Majesty, the day before yesterday, an article on the causes of lightning published in 'Great Yan Science' gave me inspiration."

"I already have a clue, within a year, I will definitely be able to research a method for artificial electricity generation!"

Yan's eyes lit up slightly, and he raised his eyebrows.

He didn't expect that Shen Lian actually had the confidence to manufacture lightning?

He reads every issue of "Great Yan Science."

He naturally knows about that article.

It explains that lightning appears because there are a large number of micro-dust and water vapor in the air, rubbing at high speed in the high altitude.

Forming heat and electrical energy.

At first, the electrical energy is small, then it accumulates and continues to amplify.

Therefore, lightning is formed.

So the lightning seen on the ground often needs to brew for a period of time before it is generated.

This article is well-founded, so it was included in "Great Yan Science."

"This article may have errors, but the fact that it says lightning comes from friction between particles is very reasonable."

In the hall, Shen Lian took a deep breath.

And continued: "As an immortal cultivator, my five senses are sharp, and I can feel that friction in daily life can produce some kind of electricity, which is very similar to the properties of lightning."

"It's just that the energy is extremely small, so it hasn't been discovered by the world."

After Yan finished listening.

His eyes became even brighter.

He has also had this feeling that Shen Lian mentioned.

Especially in autumn and winter, it is particularly obvious.

He looked down at Shen Lian and said lightly: "Since there is already a direction, then accelerate the research. My... time is not that much."

Shen Lian's body trembled.

Not daring to look directly at this emperor with eyes like fire.

The ministers hurriedly knelt on the ground, constantly shouting "Long live Your Majesty."

Only Yan himself knows...

The medicine refined from spiritual herbs can no longer stop his body from aging.

At most ten years.

He might die of old age and return to the yellow earth.

Great Yan Calendar Year 81.

Great Yan Research Institute.

Under Shen Lian's leadership, everyone is experimenting with an epoch-making invention.

Simple generator!

After years of overall research, the Great Yan Kingdom has endless theories about electricity.

Based on these theoretical studies.

Shen Lian took many fewer detours and finally developed a simple friction generator.

This is a large box with a length and width of more than three meters.

Inside, there are fuel tanks, mechanical friction devices, electric circuits, and power output devices.

Very perfect.

"Ignite the fuel!"

"Mechanical acceleration!"

Shen Lian gave an order.

The fuel was ignited, and inside the simple generator, violent friction was taking place.

And he...

Relied on his sharp five senses to begin sensing whether familiar electricity was being generated inside.

More than ten seconds later.

The potential energy driven by friction became greater and greater, and a very weak energy was generated inside.

And with the acceleration of friction, it became greater and greater.

Finally, it followed the electric wire and entered the power storage device.

"Succeeded!"

Shen Lian, who sensed all this, was extremely excited.

He hurriedly ordered people nearby to record the data of this experiment.

For example, how many circles of friction, how much fuel consumed, how much electricity can be generated, etc.

Subsequently.

This news was learned by Yan for the first time.

Yan hurriedly came to visit.

Looking at this large simple generator, he was extremely excited.

"Continue to perfect it, launch the most efficient generator, and then promote it nationwide. I want all of Great Yan to use telephones and telegraphs!"

Yan issued a decree on the spot.

Two months later.

The final version of the generator, which was constantly perfected, came out.

The Research Institute was responsible, in conjunction with the Ministry of Works, to promote it nationwide.

In every city within the Great Yan Kingdom...

Large power plants began to be built.

To supply electricity.

And major factories keenly sensed business opportunities.

Began to produce electric wires in large quantities, further promoting the laying of circuits within Great Yan.

Gradually.

The Great Yan Kingdom underwent earth-shaking changes again.

Electric poles were erected one after another, prioritized for laying in large cities.

With the establishment of power plants, electric wires began to be popularized.

The wealthy people in Great Yan...

Bought telephones and telegraphs for the first time and installed them in their homes.

Being able to communicate over long distances and transmit text is really too convenient.

Silently.

The lifestyle of the people of Great Yan changed again.

Great Yan Year 81.

End of the year.

Palace, in the hall.

The ministers were reporting the overall situation of the Great Yan Kingdom this year.

"Your Majesty, in the past year, the total output value of the Great Yan Kingdom reached 11 trillion, an increase of 11% year-on-year."

"Among them, the fastest growing is the communication field of telegraphs and telephones."

"Once this brand new field appeared, the total production value reached an astonishing 574.2 billion."

"After one year, 468 large cities nationwide have built power plants and laid electric wires."

"Other remote areas are expected to be gradually popularized in the next few years."

"And in administrative office work, the imperial court has planned to reform paper decrees and pass telegraphs, which can be conveyed more accurately, save time, and improve efficiency..."

On the dragon chair.

Yan listened to the rapid development of the Great Yan Kingdom this year and was very gratified.

The telegraphs and telephones inside the palace were the first to be laid and installed.

Now.

He can sit in his bedroom and pick up the phone to call any minister.

Any political decree can also be released to the whole world through the emperor's special telegraph machine.

Very convenient.

Like a divine method.

Such things.

Decades ago, he wouldn't even dare to think about it.

"This is the power of technology."

He muttered these words.

Feeling it more and more deeply.

Under the guidance of the God, the Great Yan Kingdom is becoming stronger and stronger.

Now it can even control the power of lightning!

Great Yan Calendar Year 82.

In the vast territory of the Great Yan Kingdom, vigorous infrastructure projects are being carried out.

Major cities, even remote towns, are trying to lay electric wires.

Various power plants have also emerged as the times require.

Distributed within Great Yan.

Thousands of large and small ones have appeared.

However...

A shocking problem soon appeared.
