"What on earth do you mean?" Li Shimin didn't think about it, but he had figured it out now. If he couldn't understand, he didn't think about it, so Li Shimin directly raised his leg and kicked Li Ke on the butt.
"Hey, it's not interesting. I have such great ambitions to make sacrifices and dare to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky! Let's go, dad, ministers, let you see the sky of the Tang Dynasty. It is about to change." Li Ke casually patted his butt. Then he opened his mouth and said.
Everyone looked at each other. These two lines of poetry are what His Highness the King of Qin dared to say. You can understand this thing however you want.
But His Majesty doesn't care, and they certainly don't care either.
Naturally, he followed Li Ke directly.
When they walked to the door of the power plant, they saw a sign standing at the door of the power plant with the words: Chang'an Power Plant.
A group of people were already standing at the door.
Seeing Li Shimin coming, this group of people naturally bent down to salute Li Shimin and everyone else.
Li Ke then said: "Father, everyone, come on and take you to visit the current Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty has changed."
"Let's go, I want to see how different the Tang Dynasty is now from the Tang Dynasty before." Li Shimin was also a little curious.
In terms of industry, Li Ke was the first to do it, and Li Shimin and others only had some understanding, but no in-depth understanding.
What's more, some technologies are developing too fast, innovating almost every few months, and of course they can't keep up.
Normally climbing the technology tree involves slight improvements in the middle, but the way Datang climbs the technology tree now is that after Li Ke confirmed that they had mastered this knowledge and the new underlying knowledge, he provided them with a more complete Brand new technology.
That's why Datang's technological progress was so fast, especially after solving the steam engine, it solved the biggest power problem. With the power source, human research in certain aspects will be greatly accelerated. To put it bluntly, it is the way to obtain energy. It’s different.
Stepping into the power plant, after walking for a short time, I saw a tall chimney and some strange-shaped cement-reinforced poles with various rough steel components on top.
These are the first-generation transformers, but they have improved a lot compared to the first-generation transformers in history, and are considered the first relatively stable transformers.
"Everyone, what you are seeing now is the first power plant built by Datang State Electric Power Grid Corporation. In the future, such power plants will be spread throughout most of Datang. Eventually, the entire Datang will be connected through such wires. All cities in the city are connected." Li Ke pointed to the pole in the distance where some wires had been installed.
"Your Highness, what exactly is this electricity? Is it related to the thunder and lightning in the sky?" Duan Lun in the crowd couldn't hold back and asked directly.
As the Minister of Industry, he cannot really know everything.
"Yes, it is the electricity of thunder and lightning. We have all seen thunder and lightning on rainy days, but thunder and lightning is the most powerful release of electrical energy in nature. It releases too much energy at one time, and we humans have no way to use it."
"Now in this power plant, we use man-made machines to generate electricity smoothly, so that this power can be output continuously, effectively and stably, so that it can be utilized by us."
"This... Your Highness, how could thunder and lightning be used by others?" A minister couldn't help but continue to ask.
"It's not impossible. When you take off your clothes at night, sometimes there will be a crackling sound. That is static electricity, which is also a type of electricity. It is just that it is very weak, so it is harmless to our human body."
"Now we just want the electricity to meet the standards we use. Come on, let's go in and take a look." Li Ke introduced them to them with a smile, then raised his legs and walked inside.
The factories in front are very large. They are very similar to some factories that Li Ke once visited just after liberation. They have red brick structures and a huge steel frame structure on the ceiling.
When they entered this huge specially-built factory, everyone was stunned.
Because there is a huge steel object inside, at least eight or nine meters high!
Just this huge thing was something they had never dared to think of before, because it would require... so much iron! I'm afraid that such a behemoth can't even cast ten thousand bright light armors, right?
Li Shimin was also shocked. The huge machine industry is the greatest romance of mankind. Modern ordinary people will be shocked by these huge machines when they enter these large factories, not to mention the people of the Tang Dynasty?
Li Shimin knew that Datang's steel output was very large, but... this one factory alone consumed so much steel... No wonder Li Ke didn't care about the 10,000 Mingguang armors given to Tubo!
All the ministers were stunned. Is this... the industry that His Highness has been talking about?
Duan Lun's mind began to think of some workshops that were supervised by the previous officials. Those pure manpower, small parts, etc. were not comparable to the behemoth in front of him?
Let's put it this way... Damn it, all the ministers in other departments will have to look at my face from now on! I am a worker! Industry! department! Yet! Book!
These behemoths are all under my control.
Oh no, Huangfulin and Li Shangshu are so flattering. One is responsible for the financial expenditure of the Tang Dynasty, and the other is responsible for managing the financial expenditure of the Tang Dynasty.
If this gets stuck for a little while, I will have to get down here. Other than that, everyone else should retreat! If you don't treat me to three meals in a shopping mall, I won't be able to handle this.
"Here, how much stone and iron is needed? How much armor can be made from this?" A minister couldn't help but ask.
"Actually, most of this place is made of steel." Li Ke said lightly, iron? Cast iron exists, but cast iron components account for at most one-third, and most of the rest is steel.
"Stainless steel?!" Everyone was dumbfounded. These are iron and they are going crazy. You tell me it is steel now? !
"How does this thing... work?" Li Shimin took a deep breath. This bastard has all these good things. If he didn't bring his father to see it earlier, why don't you bring me to see it first? Why am I embarrassed here? !
I will definitely beat you too much.
"Today is the trial operation of the power plant. Please come and watch the ceremony." Li Ke said with a smile. "Get ready for the test."
"Get ready for the test!" Following Li Ke's order, several craftsmen over there became excited immediately. They were all young and seemed to be less than thirty years old.
Several people quickly brought over the things prepared aside. It was actually simple, just a piece of red silk cloth and a big red flower woven with red silk cloth in the middle.
Looking at this big red flower sealed in his memory, Li Ke's expression was somewhat strange. Some traditions...should be traditions, and he had to let them become traditions across time and space.
