Chapter 736: Four Major Energy Stages, But I Hope That The Future Prosperity Will Be As Desired [Ple
After the Saint Banheng family agreed and allowed their craftsmen to come and learn the techniques of building hydroelectric generators and electric lights from the craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences, the civil and military officials gradually became quiet.
But quietness returned to quietness, and all the civil and military officials looked at Saint Ban Heng with more and more amazement and shock.
If they didn't know the value of the five words "Ke Sheng Ban Hengshi" before, then now they are extremely clear about what the five words "Ke Sheng Ban Hengshi" mean:
[That is the Saint who made the thunder in the sky turn into light in the world, so that the common people no longer have to worry about the night!]
[That was unprecedented, the Saint who was truly the first to discover, propose, invent, and actually apply electricity!]
[That is the Saint who invented various generators and electric lights from scratch, and built a system for applying electric power to electric lights!]
[That is the Saint who is based on the present, but has discovered electricity across the ages, and invented generators and electric lights. He will usher in great changes in the electric age in the next few decades or hundreds of years!]
At this moment, the admiration and admiration of all the civil and military officials for Ban Heng, the Saint of Science, could be said to have reached an unparalleled level.
At the same time, a group of civil and military officials were also thinking about the idea of the Academy of Sciences:
[Although Saint Banheng has not yet developed a thermal generator, there is no doubt about the importance and great prospects of electricity and electric lights. 】
[In the future, whoever masters the ability to build thermal generators can almost be said to represent a huge coal mine, which will definitely bring huge benefits to himself and his family. 】
[And with the wisdom of Saint Banheng, it is only a matter of time before the thermal generator is developed. 】
[After all, Saint Banheng just said that the principle theory of thermal power generators has been studied and understood, so is it still far away from a truly usable fire "633" power generator? 】
[If you can be admitted to the Academy of Science at this time, you may even be lucky enough to become a disciple of the Science Saint Ban Heng, and work with the Science Saint Ban Heng to research and invent thermal generators. 】
[Then maybe in the future, the descendants of our family will be able to ride on the glory of the scientific saint Ban Heng and leave their names in the history together. "Then my ancestral graves will really be rich and green!"
[Give my kid another chance. If he fails to get into the Academy of Science for the People this time, Lao'zi will break his legs!]
After seeing the importance and huge prospects of generators, electricity, and electric lights, every civil and military official was thinking about how to seize their own interests.
The best way to seize a share of the benefits is to let your son take the exam of the Academy of Sciences for the People, enter the Academy of Sciences for the People, and become a scientific student of the Academy of Sciences for the People.
In this way, after their children learn how to make and use generators, electricity, and electric lights, they will naturally be able to take the lead in the great changes in the electric power era that will begin in the next few decades or hundreds of years.
Of course, this is the plan, but whether it can be implemented smoothly is another matter.
Because the people who want to take the exam for the Academy of Science are not them, but their own kids.
Thinking of those unsatisfactory brats in their family, many civil and military officials were so angry that they couldn't help but start grinding their teeth.
Since the establishment of Saint academies one after another, the other second sons in their family, other than the legitimate sons, have also seen a relatively better future.
In the end, a better way out was given to them, but the second sons failed to live up to their expectations. From Wanmin Agricultural College to Wanmin Medical College, they failed to pass the main examination for four consecutive years.
You must know that they are also outstanding talents who fought out of the thousands of troops in the imperial examination, were named on the gold list, and stood out.
As a result, their children did not inherit any of their talents. They could not study, farm, or study medicine. They were simply useless snacks!
Oh no, calling them trash snacks is flattering them.
At least the snacks can be used to pad the stomach. Those useless brats have no other use besides making them angry to death.
Many civil and military officials have made up their minds to lock up the second sons when they return home after today's events are over, so that they can learn craftsmanship from the workers in the family.
If they fail to get into the Academy of Science for the People, they will no longer be able to leave home, and it will save them the embarrassment of going out.
After viewing the Electric Power and Energy Exhibition Hall, Yan Changqing took Zhu Yuanzhang and a group of civil and military officials to the last small branch of the Future Energy Exhibition Hall.
However, when they saw the last small branch of the Future Energy Exhibition Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang and all the civil and military officials had a look of surprise on their faces.
Because compared with the previous energy exhibition halls, the things in the last energy exhibition hall were things they had seen before.
For example, the original "Heng's Solar Furnace"
Another example is the "hydroelectric generator" we just saw.
There is also the "wind turbine" that Saint Banheng mentioned before.
There are even small and large gunpowder packets placed in it.
Looking at the puzzled looks of Zhu Yuanzhang and all the civil and military officials, Yan Changqing also opened his mouth to explain:
“From ancient times to the present, and into the future, I have seen the development and changes of energy in the world. In my opinion, it can be roughly divided into the following stages.
"The first stage is to focus on Yuanshi's natural energy, such as burning straw, firewood and the like."
"The second stage is to focus on coal (fossil fuel), such as coal-based products such as briquettes."
"The third stage is to focus on oil and natural gas (liquid and gaseous fuels)."
"The energy used in the above three stages is all non-renewable energy."
"Like coal, oil, natural gas, etc., after they are dug and mined, there will be no more."
"In other words, even if they will appear again, it will be millions of years later. At least compared to us humans, we cannot wait for them to regenerate again."
"Maybe the huge storage capacity of coal, oil, and natural gas is enough for us to use it for hundreds or thousands of years, but no matter how long it can be used, it will eventually run out."
"Moreover, we cannot leave nothing to future generations with energy sources such as coal, oil, and natural gas."
"Therefore, the development of new, renewable energy has become a core requirement of the fourth energy stage."
Having said this, Zhu Yuanzhang and all ten civil and military officials nodded.
That's right, as ancestors, we cannot use up all coal, oil, natural gas and other resources, but we must leave some for future generations.
Therefore, what Kesheng Banheng said, it is very reasonable to develop new and renewable energy.
In the future, we should indeed develop some new and renewable energy sources to reduce the consumption of coal, oil, natural gas and other resources, and leave hundreds of millions of resource wealth to future generations.
Yan Changqing walked up to the solar furnace, which had been shrunk a thousand times and could only be regarded as a model, and further introduced:
"Solar energy, hydropower, wind energy, tidal energy and other energy sources, in my opinion, are new and renewable energy sources that meet the requirements of the fourth energy stage!"
"For example, solar energy, the solar furnace shown before, can gather a large amount of sunlight, thereby forming a localized high temperature that can melt even steel."
"In addition to melting steel, it can also be used in other ways.
"For example, the thermal power generator being studied mainly works by burning the chemical energy of coal, oil, natural gas and other fuels to form steam thermal energy, which is then converted into mechanical energy and finally generates electrical energy.
"But the high temperature formed by the accumulation of solar energy can also form steam heat energy, which can then be converted into mechanical energy and finally generate electrical energy.
"In other words, solar energy can be used to generate electricity, and such machinery can also be named a solar generator."
Then Yan Changqing walked to the hydraulic generator model and the wind turbine model, and then said:
"Another example is hydraulic power, which is also a renewable energy source, and with the help of hydraulic power, we can also convert it into mechanical energy and finally generate electrical energy.
"We name machines that use water power to generate electricity as hydroelectric generators."
"Another example is wind power, which is also a renewable energy source. With the help of wind power, we can also convert it into mechanical energy and finally generate electrical energy.
"We name machines that use wind power to generate electricity as wind turbines."
After talking about the power of water and wind, Yan Changqing then walked to a waterwheel immersed in a glass water tank. While turning the fan blades on the side of the glass water tank to imitate the tide of sea water, he said:
"In addition to solar energy, water power, and wind power, tidal energy is also a renewable energy source."
"The so-called tidal energy refers to the energy contained in the periodic rise and fall of sea water. The water level difference is expressed as potential energy, and the speed of the tide is expressed as kinetic energy."
"Both of these are renewable energy sources that can be harnessed."
"To take the simplest example, we can see waves at the beach constantly pushing and hitting us, and then pulling them back."
"This back and forth creates a cyclical driving force. If a waterwheel is placed in the sea, the waterwheel will then pull the generator rotor through the rope."
"Then when the tide of the sea rises and recedes, the water wheel will be pushed back and forth to rotate, and the water wheel will drive the rotor of the generator to rotate rapidly, and finally generate electricity."
"We can name this machine that generates electricity through tidal energy a tidal energy generator."
Yan Changqing put down the rotating fan blade again, picked up a pack of explosives, and said cautiously:
"We all know more or less the uses and power of gunpowder."
“But apart from being used to capture cities, conquer mountains and crack rocks, can gunpowder also have other uses, such as generating electricity?!!”
"When gunpowder explodes, it will generate huge heat energy. Can this heat energy be converted into steam heat energy, then converted into mechanical energy, and finally regenerated into electrical energy?!!"
"I think it is possible. Although we cannot control or utilize the heat generated when gunpowder explodes now, I believe that if gunpowder continues to develop.
"Then one day gunpowder will be more powerful, more versatile, and more controllable, and will become one of our new, renewable energy sources!"
What Yan Changqing is talking about here is actually nuclear energy, but the gunpowder of this era is still a long way from the nuclear energy of the future.
But it doesn't matter if the road is long, he can point out the direction of the road now.
In this way, in the future, people will naturally continue to follow the directions of solar energy, water power, wind power, tidal energy, gunpowder, etc., until they walk out of Tongtian Grand Dao!
After coming out of the Ancient Energy Exhibition Hall, Present Energy Exhibition Hall, and Future Energy Exhibition Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang
, and all the civil and military officials looked back at the three energy exhibition halls, feeling a sense of loss in their hearts.
It was as if they had just had a big dream looking back on the past, basing themselves on the present, looking forward to the future, and traveling through time and space.
In the dream, they seemed to have really traveled to the future era when oil, natural gas, and electric energy were used, and saw the extremely bright and bright scenes of the prosperous times.
And when they came out, their dreams woke up, and the extremely bright and bright scenes of the prosperous future remained there.
It is even very possible that they will not be able to truly wait and see the extremely bright and bright future in this life.
Song Lian on the side turned to look at the science saint Ban Heng and sighed deeply:
"Science Saint, you are so kind, allowing me to have a glimpse of the energy prosperity in the next tens or hundreds of years!!!"
"But you, Science Saint, are so cruel. You only allowed me to see such a prosperous energy age at a glance, but you will never wait until the real energy prosperity comes in this lifetime!"
Compared with Song Lian, who only lived seventy-one years old in the original history, he was not exiled in this life and lived to be seventy-four years old this year.
Song Lian estimated that he had at least one and a half years to live, and at least two or three years to live.
However, whether it is one and a half years of life, or two or three years of life, it is impossible to wait for the use of oil, natural gas, and electricity as described by the Keban punch press.
It’s the age of bright and prosperous energy.
Is there anything more tragic in this world than that you have clearly seen the prosperous age, but cannot wait for that prosperous age to arrive?!!
At this moment, Song Lian suddenly understood why emperors such as Emperor Qin, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Wu and Tang Zong, who were so talented and resourceful, sought immortality in their later years.
If possible, he would also like to borrow fifty more years of life from the sky, at least to allow him to truly wait until that prosperous age arrives!
Other similarly old generals, such as Wei Guogong Xu Da, Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong, Song Guogong Feng Sheng, Xin Guogong Tang He, Ying Guogong Fu Youde, etc., could not help but feel sad when they heard Song Lian's words.
The world was conquered by them and the emperor through hard work and hard work.
But now, they are getting old, and they may leave Hexi someday.
There is no way we can wait for the extremely glorious and splendid future prosperous times described by the scientific saint Ban Heng.
How sad this is!
Looking at the gloomy-looking civil and military officials, Yan Changqing enlightened with a gentle expression:
"If you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach a thousand miles; if you don't accumulate small streams, you can't reach a river or sea."
2.8 “Everything in the world is not achieved overnight, but occurs step by step and accumulates.
"Someone has to take the first step, and then someone will take the second, third, and even the fourth and fifth steps."
"If we don't take the first step and lay a good foundation for future generations, how will they take the second step in the future, and how will they stand higher and walk better on the basis of the foundation we laid? The further away, the better the life?!!”
"Although it sounds like a bit of a loss, who calls us the ancestors of future generations?!!"
"As an ancestor, it's not impossible to suffer a little loss and suffer a little.
"The worst that can happen is that when the prosperous times come in the future, future generations will come to our graves to chat and tell us whether the prosperous times in the future will be as we wish!"
"If the prosperous times in the future go as we wish, then no matter how much we suffer and how much we suffer now, it will still be worth it!"
Hearing the comforting words of the Science Saint Ban Heng, Song Lian became generous again and said with a hearty smile:
"Saint is right, I am obsessed with it."
"Although I have no chance to see the prosperous age in the future, if the prosperous age in the future can be as we wish, then no matter how much we suffer and how tired we are, it will still be worth it!"
"After all, all the efforts I have made in the past and today are not just for the hope that future generations can live a better life than me!"
"If future generations can live a better life than us, then we have nothing to complain about!"
The elderly civil and military officials on the side also smiled and became excited again when they heard the words of Saint Ban Heng and Song Lian.
After all, the science saints Ban Heng and Song Lian were right. All the efforts they made in the past and today are just to hope that future generations can live a better life than them.
