After returning to Xianyang from Yanmen County, the old guys woke up their sons and talked for a while, then packed up and went directly to the morning court.
So throughout the morning, Zhang Han and others had their heads drooped, listless, and said not a word.
They don't even know what the officials reported or what Ying Zheng said!
I finally made it to the end of the morning session, thinking I could go back home and catch up on a good night's sleep, but I was left behind by Ying Zheng to see the hand-operated generator that the young lady was talking about!
After hearing this order, the veterans could only sigh deeply!
All right!
This is really going to kill them!
"Are you sure...this thing can produce thunder and lightning?"
The moment he saw the hand-cranked generator, Ying Zheng immediately frowned with an expression of disbelief.
The other old guys walked around the hand-cranked generator and shook their heads, not optimistic about it!
In their imagination, electricity should be so powerful that even if it could be created artificially, it would still have to be a giant machine.
The one in front of me, despite its small size, seems to have a very simple structure.
Can this send out electricity?
"Father and I have told you that the electricity we want to produce is not thunder and lightning, and the power will not be that huge, but a stable and continuous electric current!"
Ying Feiyu explained again.
This hand-operated generator is a system reward. Although he is not very satisfied, it is still better than nothing!
At least this can help Ying Zheng and others understand electricity and develop it!
"Father, you see, this is called a wire, and it can transmit the electricity generated by the hand generator!"
"And this is called a light bulb. As long as power is transmitted here, this light bulb will brighten, thus lighting up the entire house!"
"And this wheel is the most important part of the entire generator. As long as you shake the handle and make the wheel spin, electricity can be generated!"
Ying Feiyu patiently explained the structure and function of the hand generator to everyone.
"Okay, okay! I know, show it quickly!"
Ying Zheng waved his hand to urge.
"good!"
Ying Feiyu nodded and asked the palace maid to cover all the windows.
In just a moment, the room became pitch black!
Then he called a young chamberlain and asked him to get ready and shake the handle.
"yes!"
The waiter responded, rolled up his wide sleeves, came to the generator, and slowly started shaking it.
Everyone also locked their eyes on the light bulb.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was no response from the light bulb!
"You can't do this, you have to hurry up!"
The hand-operated generator was also the first time that Ying Feiyu had just exchanged it from the system warehouse.
According to his guess, the light bulb never responded, probably because there was not enough power!
"yes!"
The chamberlain took the order and immediately sped up.
Sure enough, the light bulb suddenly glowed brightly.
The old guys were caught off guard and were so shaken that they couldn't open their eyes, so they quickly used their large sleeves and robes to cover themselves!
However, just for a moment, the lights went out again!
Next, there is an intermittent and weak light!
"What...what's going on?"
Ying Zheng didn't know why and asked, pointing to the light bulb that gave off a faint light.
"It must be that the waiter lacked physical strength. After shaking it violently for a few times, it lost strength, causing the voltage to become unstable!"
"I see!"
After realizing it, Ying Zheng glanced at the young chamberlain.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me, slave... I am really exhausted!"
The little chamberlain thought he was in danger, so he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
"Okay, get out!"
The light bulb gave off a dazzling light, and whatever interest Ying Zheng had just had was now disturbed, and he was inevitably in a bad mood.
But I’m not too harsh!
"Father, this is the first time this hand-operated generator has been used, and they don't know how much strength to use! Besides, they have lived in the palace for a long time and have never done any strenuous work, so they lack physical strength!"
Ying Feiyu said with a smile.
"If I can make this thing light up with just my strength, I can do it!"
Wang Ben showed his arms and rolled up his sleeves and recommended himself.
"Then it's my father-in-law's fault!"
Ying Feiyu nodded and asked Wang Ben to shake the handle.
"Just watch it!"
Wang Ben is strong and strong, with muscles all over his body. He has no problem traveling long distances, let alone shaking a small handle.
In just a moment, the light bulb came on again.
"It's on, it's on, it's on again!"
Zhang Han and others cheered in surprise.
Based on the experience of the last time, this time the veterans did not look directly at the light bulb, but observed it with their peripheral vision!
"Hey! The light emitted by this electricity is really bright! Such a small thing is even more dazzling than the light emitted by ten candles! It lights up the room brightly!"
Ying Zheng's eyes were filled with surprise.
"Yes! Your Majesty, if your imperial study room can be illuminated with this electric lamp, it will save your eyesight when you stay up late to review memorials!"
Zhang Han smiled excitedly.
"It's really easy on the eyes, but it's a bit laborious!"
Just when everyone was filled with surprise, Wang Ben's voice intervened at an inappropriate time.
Immediately afterwards, the light of the bulb became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared!
At the same time, Wang Ben gasped and let go of the crank handle, "No, Your Majesty, I really can't shake it anymore. This thing takes too much effort!"
A hand-cranked generator seems simple, but if you want the light bulb to light up continuously and stably, you have to keep cranking it.
Although Wang Ben was strong, his arms were sore if he kept shaking the handle so fast!
"Hmph! Lao Wang, didn't you promise us to see it just now? What? Is this what you wanted us to see?"
Zhang Han breathed out from his nostrils and snorted coldly.
The light bulb that emits dazzling light is a new thing, but it goes out before they can see enough, which is really disappointing. No wonder His Majesty was unhappy just now!
"Lao Zhang, don't stand and talk without your back hurting. If you don't believe it, go try it! If it's not done properly, even the light bulb won't light up!"
"Just try it!"
Zhang Han was also a general before he became the Shaofu and the Minister of Household Affairs. He often led troops to fight and considered himself to be in good physical strength.
But just after shaking it for a while, the light bulb just gave off a weak light, and then it failed.
"Um... Your Majesty, I'm ashamed to say that this thing is really exhausting! After just a while, my arms are sore!"
Zhang Han shook his arms back and forth and said with a grimace.
"Humph! Lao Zhang, you are not as good as me. At least I let the light bulb light up steadily for a while, but you didn't even light up!"
Given the opportunity to counterattack, Wang Ben naturally would not miss it and mocked Zhang Han.
This time, Zhang Han didn't even fart.
There's no way around it, that stuff is definitely physical work, and most people really can't do it!
"Take away all the curtains from the windows!"
Ying Feiyu ignored the bickering between the two and gave instructions to the palace maid.
Then, the sun shines into the house again, restoring the light in the house!
