Chapter 1578 Power Generation Workshop(1/4)
"Liu Jie, why are you doing this? Such a thing has caused a lot of storm in the city!"
In Guanshishan Academy, Xu Jingzong looked at Liu Jie standing in front of him with a bad expression.
As Minister of Education, Xu Jingzong has always been very concerned about Guanshishan Academy.
After all, this is his place to make his fortune.
But in the past few days, Guanshishan Academy has become a joke among many people.
This made Xu Jingzong very dissatisfied.
There was a lot of controversy outside. Even if the intelligence investigation was not reported to His Royal Highness the Prince, others would definitely mention this matter.
At that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely feel his face is dull.
This is also the reason why Xu Jingzong was so annoyed.
It’s not bad to see Shishan Academy, but it’s hard to accept His Royal Highness’s embarrassment.
"Minister Xu, this matter is just a dispute caused by a coincidence between the School of Geology and the School of Chemistry on related research on light bulbs.
But in essence, it is a contradiction accumulated by the two academies for a long time.
As a large fund consuming Guanshishan Academy, various disputes arose between the College of Geophysics and the College of Chemistry in previous years to grab scientific research funds.
However, it was not as intense as today before, and this time it was a coincidence.
The School of Chemical Technology, which was invented by the School of Geophysics, easily improved the life of the bulb on this basis.
I also specially studied the papers published on both sides. In addition to the filaments, the structure of the light bulbs in the School of Chemical Technology is exactly the same as that of the Academy of Gewu.
Although they made this clear in their paper, they even specifically thanked the Academy of Sciences for their research and practice.
But Li Yan must be very upset after seeing it."
Liu Jie felt that he was so unfair.
He obviously did nothing, but he was criticized.
Maybe I have to add some explanation to His Highness the Crown Prince when I look back.
It’s really a matter of people sitting at home, and disaster comes from heaven.
“Hasn’t this light bulb been researching at the School of Physics before?
When did the School of Chemical Engineering start researching these things?”
Obviously, in Xu Jingzong's eyes, he also felt that the light bulb should also be the research object of the Institute of Geology.
Li Yan and the others must think so.
That's why it doesn't count.
"As far as I know, the School of Chemical Engineering only started to study light bulbs after Li Yan and his team published their paper last time.
And they actually did not study any other types of light bulbs except for studying bamboo silk light bulbs.
But it was just a bamboo silk bulb created by the Academy of Geophysics. After they arrived at the School of Chemistry, they made a simple improvement and achieved a breakthrough in their lifespan.
No wonder Li Yan and the others feel so frustrated.”
Liu Jie explained the whole story relatively objectively.
After hearing this, Xu Jingzong had a general understanding of what was going on.
There is no way. If you study the results for a long time, you will finally make some progress and then announce them to the public.
People have improved this thing directly on your basis.
Then when everyone uses this product in the future, they only remember the person who perfected it, not the person who invented it.
You must be very uncomfortable in your heart.
"Hey, forget it, it's hard to say who is wrong in this matter. Strictly speaking, no one is wrong.
However, such a thing happened between the School of Gentlemanship and the School of Chemistry, which will definitely have some impact on their relationship.
Many of our projects require cooperation between the School of Gentlemanship and the School of Chemistry, and this matter cannot affect the subsequent cooperation.
Let’s do this, the Ministry of Education allocates a fund to the Geophysical College, and you can also communicate with Li Yan carefully.
Let them stop making jokes.”
In the end, Xu Jingzong could only adopt a method of mixing things.
Otherwise, if this matter continues to be riotous, it will be lost to Guanshishan Academy and the Prince's Mansion.
...
"Your Highness the Prince, Guanshishan Academy proposed to build a power generation workshop in the Workshop City to provide power supply to Workshop City and Daming Palace.
However, according to their plan, the investment in this power generation workshop is still very large.
If you want to meet the electricity needs of these places, according to the relatively simple estimate now, you will also need to invest at least one million dan to meet the requirements.
This mainly involves the research, development, production and installation of a large number of steam generators, as well as the investment of a series of equipment that you want to provide.
In order to cooperate with the construction of the power generation workshop, it is necessary to consider the power transmission problem simultaneously.
Although the plan for this power generation workshop is to solve all problems within the next three years and then put them into operation.
But I think the impact of this matter is quite large, so I came here to report it to you."
Wang Fugui brought Li Yan, Rao Yongxiang, Liu Jie, Dai Quan and others to the Prince's Mansion to explain the construction of the power generation workshop.
Such a thing has never appeared before.
They actually have many questions about how to build it appropriately.
So this time it is not so much a report, but rather a desire to come and listen to Li Kuan's guidance.
The princelings knew very well what big problems they encountered and when there was no good idea, they went to Li Kuan for guidance.
Often, unexpected results can be achieved.
"Power generation workshop? Have you considered the issues that you need to do in this workshop, how to operate in the future, and what supporting facilities need to be simultaneously deployed?"
Li Kuan naturally knew that electricity represents the future.
But now he is promoting it so quickly in Chang'an City, and he is still a little surprised.
Because the light bulb has just been developed, it is a bamboo wire bulb, not a classic tungsten wire bulb in later generations.
He was also having some questions about whether it was suitable or not.
"Your Majesty, that's how we think about it.
Now that the light bulb has been basically researched, the main follow-up is the problem of large-scale mass production, which should be easier to solve, and there will be results within this year.
This is equivalent to providing the final product for the use of electricity, so that we will not have no place to go after our electricity is emitted.
As for the power generation equipment involved in the power generation workshop, our Steam Engine Research Institute has been studying it.
So far, good results have been achieved, and the main focus is to further research and launch large-scale generators.
In this regard, I am confident that there will be a preliminary result next year for the use of the first phase of the power generation workshop.
As for other supporting facilities, they are mainly voltage regulation equipment and electricity transmission equipment.
In this regard, our School of Geophysics is also fully researching. We will also publish demands to the outside world and encourage all workshops in the workshop city to participate in this project.
According to current estimates, these projects can achieve phased results next year.”
Li Yan stood up and answered Li Kuan’s question.
Rao Yongxiang did the advantage, and the things that showed his face today will definitely be left to Li Yan.
Rao Yongxiang did not argue with Li Yan again.
"Create the electricity, according to your current research situation, the problem should not be particularly big, it is just that the efficiency of power generation may not be high.
But after the electricity is emitted, it is not so easy to finish.
Although you have made light bulbs now, if the voltage provided to the light bulb is unstable, the life of the light bulb will be greatly affected.
You must carry out this research as soon as possible.
In addition, you all know that electricity will suffer from loss during the transmission process.
Although you are now using copper wire to transmit electricity, the copper resistance is relatively low.
However, if you want to use more places to power, the cost of copper wire is obviously too high, so you need to consider whether there are other ways to pass it on.
Of course, if it is just an experimental transmission, it is OK to use copper wire to verify it first.
In addition, if the voltage is not very high during the transmission process, the transmission loss will be relatively large.
However, if the voltage is too high, the risk will increase and the technical difficulty will increase.
The pros and cons of this aspect can only be determined after repeated trial and error.
Finally, there is the use issue. It can be foreseeable that the cost of electricity will definitely be very high in the next few years.
In this case, how to reduce the cost of electricity and how to make wealthy businessmen willing to install electric lights is also something that needs to be considered.
