A hydroelectric power station is a power station that uses the kinetic energy of strong water flow generated by water levels to generate electricity.
Use the energy of water in the river to push the turbine to drive the generator set, thereby generating electricity!
The electricity produced is transported to a laboratory three miles away.
Several light bulbs were prepared there in advance to test whether the power generation was successful!
Under the leadership of Huang Yuan, Ying Zheng, Ying Feiyu and hundreds of officials visited this small hydroelectric power station and gave a detailed explanation!
"Okay, we already understand the general principle, let's start the operation!"
After turning around, Ying Zheng issued an order.
Then the gate was opened, and the water flow rushed out along the route designed in advance, pushing the turbine and starting to generate electricity!
The electricity generated is sent through a transformer to a laboratory three miles away.
If you want to see if everything goes well, you have to go to the laboratory!
"Your Majesty, please move to the laboratory three miles away!"
Huang Yuan stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
"okay!"
Ying Zheng responded and walked towards the steam car.
Now Ying Zheng seems to have the demeanor of a leader.
As long as they appear in public places, they will not drive themselves at all, but will be driven by the soldiers of Heibingtai.
Act as a driver while protecting Ying Zheng's safety!
Therefore, in addition to having extremely strong reconnaissance capabilities and superhuman strength, among the requirements for recruiting guards at Heibingtai, there is another added requirement: they must have a driving qualification certificate issued by a technical school!
This is what later generations would call a driver’s license!
Since there are not as many signs as in later generations, it is not difficult to get a driver's license. As long as you go to a technical school and practice a little, you can get it!
"Alas...! I don't know when our car will be ready?"
Watching Ying Zheng drive away with Ying Feiyu, the old guys all had sad faces and were extremely helpless.
They are six ministers, and the carriage is at the front of the hundred officials, behind Ying Zheng's steam car.
In other words, they were eating the dust kicked up by the cars all the way!
Even if there is a curtain to block it, when the carriage runs, the curtain will flutter in the wind, and a lot of dust will still pour into the carriage.
It’s miserable!
"Who knows!"
"When our car is finished, we can follow His Majesty and let others eat ashes!"
"Yes! Then let them experience how we feel now!"
"Alas! I feel like my face is covered in ashes now, and I can hold off two kilograms of mud!"
"Everyone is the same! It's useless to say anything else, just get on the carriage and follow, otherwise His Majesty will be blamed...!"
After pouring a lot of bitter water, the old guys hurriedly got on the carriage.
Fortunately, the laboratory is not far from the power plant, and we will arrive in a short time!
"Your Majesty, please come in!"
Carriages arrived one after another, Huang Yuan squeezed to the front and led Ying Zheng into the laboratory.
It's said to be a laboratory, but it's actually just a small room without windows.
It was pitch black, and a few light bulbs were hung on the ceiling for testing!
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness, wait a moment!"
Huang Yuan flipped the switch, and several light bulbs in the room suddenly lit up.
It flickered on and off at first, and then stabilized within a short time!
"Success!"
Seeing the room suddenly light up like daylight, Ying Zheng smiled happily.
This means that water can really generate electricity, and the light bulb can keep lighting up even without manual shaking!
"Great, it really worked!"
The moment the light bulb came on, Ying Feiyu almost jumped up with joy.
"This electricity is really awesome, it can actually make the house so bright!"
"Didn't you hear what His Highness the Prince said? As long as electricity becomes popularized, in the future every household will no longer need oil lamps and candles, they will all be able to use this bright electric light!"
"That's great. Reading and writing will be much more convenient then!"
"It's not just about reading and writing, electricity can also bring a lot of convenience to our lives in the future...!"
The laboratory is very small, and the officials took turns to visit the room, and they were filled with emotion after leaving the room.
Such a scene was something they had never dared to imagine before!
"Your Highness, this power plant has been successfully constructed and has been proven to be able to generate electricity successfully. Now, is it time to put the matter of becoming a shareholder on the agenda?"
Looking at the bright electric lights in the room, Zhang Han quietly approached Ying Feiyu and asked quietly.
"Well! It's really time to look into investing in shares!"
Ying Feiyu nodded.
"Great, I will ask my wife to find out all the remaining money at home when I get back, and wait to buy shares!"
Zhang Han clenched his fists excitedly, seemingly full of energy.
The fact is that these old guys have been waiting for this day for a long time.
Several reporters from the newspaper were accompanying us this time. After seeing the electric light, their jaws dropped!
When I got back, I wrote a detailed report, which was published on the front page of the next day, occupying a large space!
Next, electricity caused an unprecedented sensation throughout Great Qin!
This time, the people of Xianyang were even more shocked than when they saw the steam train for the first time!
Like Ying Zheng and others, before this, people's understanding of electricity only stayed at the powerful thunder and lightning!
I never thought that one day people would be able to control thunder and lightning, or even use lightning!
Fortunately, the report was written in enough detail, so that people gradually changed from initial fear and disbelief to shock and admiration!
"His Royal Highness is so amazing. Not only can he utilize the inconspicuous steam, but he can also create and utilize electricity!"
"This newspaper says that using electric lighting can turn night into day? Does that mean that when I sew clothes in the future, I won't have to light four or five oil lamps?"
"It's more than that! It is said that after electricity becomes widespread, not only can we make clothes without hurting our eyes, but we can also use electricity to drive various machines!"
"No! The newspaper said that electricity will penetrate into the lives of ordinary people like us in the future and will be a necessity in our lives...!"
For a time, electricity immediately became a hot topic among people all over the Qin Dynasty.
In addition to them, officials from all walks of life in Da Qin are also discussing electricity!
"You think, how could His Highness be so smart? We thought that the invention of the steam engine was of no use. Building a factory specifically was nothing more than a waste of money! But we didn't expect that there would be not only steam trains, but also steam ships and steam weaving machines. Cloth machines, steam tractors, etc., make His Highness the Prince a lot of money!"
"Now that we have developed electricity, it will be integrated into people's lives! In this way, won't we make more money?"
In a teahouse in Xianyang City, several officials were drinking tea and chatting.
One of the court officials expressed admiration for Ying Feiyu!
