Little Cat introduced confidently, “You can put ice or not. As long as you bend it at the beginning and make it spin, the spray fan can keep spinning.”
Bai Wutong smiled and said, “The design is very ingenious. It must be very comfortable in the summer.”
He was very talented. If he could use electricity, in time, Little Cat would definitely be able to design a real electric fan or air conditioner.
There were detailed teaching guidelines in the books of the Electromagnetic Induction Formula that could allow everyone to fully understand how magnets produced electric current.
Little Cat had yet to come into contact with this knowledge and did not study electric current. Bai Wutong led him to the research lab to see the small electric motor.
This was the first time Little Cat had entered the research room. Here, every big shot in the research field had their own separate area. There were the most researchers in the electromagnetic induction area.
Little Cat was led by Bai Wutong. The researchers all respectfully retreated to the side and waited for Bai Wutong to ask them questions.
Little Cat’s eyes were filled with curiosity as he looked at the small generator.
Bai Wutong introduced, “This is called a generator. It can generate electricity, and electricity can provide energy. This energy is like the power driven by your spray fan using water circulation.”
Little Cat was surprised that there was such a thing. Bai Wutong summoned He Jinchuan, the engineer in charge of repairing the power plant. “How’s your research progress?”
He Jinchuan had already created the prototype of an incandescent lamp according to the idea provided by Bai Wutong.
He had originally wanted to report to Bai Wutong. When Bai Wutong asked, he immediately got someone to bring up the research results of their team.
He Jinchuan and the others were inexperienced. The circuit boards were densely packed and messy. One could see a wick that had yet to be connected to the electric current.
He Jinchuan introduced enthusiastically, “Great Empress, please take a look. As long as you connect the circuit here, the wick will light up. If electricity can be produced on large scale, and electric lights are popularized, it can completely replace candles in the future.”
Little Cat’s eyes widened in disbelief.
The strange thing in front of him was just a pile of messy metal. How could it replace the convenient and easy to burn candles?
At Bai Wutong’s signal, He Jinchuan connected the circuit in the next second.
The wick lit up.
The weak bit of light was not obvious in the bright room, but it was enough to make one click their tongues in surprise.
Little Cat couldn’t help but be excited, while Bai Wutong was abnormally calm.
He Jinchuan thought that Bai Wutong was dissatisfied with their research results or that she had seen brighter electric lights from foreigners.
He hurriedly covered the wick that was emitting a weak light with a round transparent glass cover and asked everyone to extinguish the candles around them and close the curtains in the room.
The room darkened, but the small wick lit up the entire room in an instant.
This was the first time many people had seen the research results of He Jinchuan’s team. They were amazed by this and could not help but ask, “Won’t it go out?”
He Jinchuan raised his head proudly. “Not as long as we keep supplying electricity!”
“Besides, electric lights don’t produce thick smoke, nor do they need to be re-ignited. Even outside, as long as there’s a protective shield above your head, electric lights can still last for a long time and illuminate the world.”
It sounded much more convenient than candles, but more researchers were very interested in the principle of electric current supplying energy.
Especially Zhao Yuan. After he developed the bicycle and made everyone’s daily journey more convenient, he had always wanted to surpass the speed of the bicycle.
The sudden illumination of the electric light gave him a flash of inspiration. He wanted to grab something, but for a moment he couldn’t make sense of it.
Bai Wutong looked at the electric light and smiled in fascination. “The electric light is so beautiful.”
He Jinchuan thought that Bai Wutong was praising him and hurriedly said, “We can still improve it a little and make it brighter and more convenient.”
The idea to make electric lights was given by Bai Wutong, but he was really a genius to be able to make electric lights in such a short period of time with Bai Wutong’s description and hints.
Bai Wutong praised him generously, “Mr. He’s circuit energy board structure will definitely change the entire world.”
He Jinchuan felt smug from the praise, but he did not forget that this was all thanks to Bai Wutong. He hurriedly said, “No, no. It’s all thanks to the Great Empress’s guidance.”
Bai Wutong smiled and silently thanked Einstein for taking care of all of humanity.
Little Cat kept staring at the electric light, his face filled with curiosity.
Bai Wutong pointed at the electric lamp and said, “The electricity produced by the generator can be converted into energy and light up the wick, turning it into an electric lamp that illuminates the world. If you can think of a way to apply the energy of electricity to the spray fan, you might be able to create a more convenient and small spray fan.”
Little Cat widened his eyes in excitement, as if a door had opened in his heart.
When Zhao Yuan heard this, he was immediately enlightened. If he could also use the energy of electricity on the bicycle, would he be able to design a traveling tool that could run faster?
Afraid that he would forget, he hurriedly recorded his inspiration. After he did, he did not forget to ask Bai Wutong, “Great Empress, if the energy of electricity is transferred to the bicycle, can it also make the bicycle run faster?”
The Great Empress was knowledgeable and talented. The basic knowledge of mathematics, physics, and chemistry that they had learned was summarized by the Great Empress. She would definitely be able to give him the right guidance.
Little Cat and the others also watched eagerly, waiting for Bai Wutong’s answer.
Bai Wutong smiled and said, “The electricity produced by the magnetic field can be converted into energy. In the end, it still depends on your ingenious design. If the electric lights can be lit, I believe the other things can too.” She looked at Zhao Yuan, who was looking at her, and encouraged, “Maybe next time, even if we don’t use our feet, as long as we maintain a specific direction, the bicycle can run on its own.”
Zhao Yuan’s eyes shot out lasers. He wished he could pull He Jinchuan along and discuss how electricity could be converted into energy.
The others stared at the circuit board in deep thought. What better thing could they make with electricity?
Bai Wutong looked at Little Cat again. “Do you think this place is interesting?”
Little Cat quickly nodded. “Yes, yes, it’s very interesting!” He wanted to understand the principles of the generator now, but he was too embarrassed to ask.
This was because he was still a child in everyone’s eyes. How could a child enter the research lab? He had yet to even attend university.
Moreover, something like this must involve the internal secrets of Carefree Kingdom.
Bai Wutong smiled. “Do you want to see how electromagnetic induction is produced?”
Little Cat nodded crazily. “Yes, yes, yes.” He said yes three times in a row.
Bai Wutong brought Little Cat out of the research room and arrived at Qinghe University.
Physics was set up as a major by her. Any student who entered Qinghe University could choose any of the courses.
Bai Wutong led him to a physics experiment classroom at Qinghe University. There was a lot of experimental equipment here.
Bai Wutong asked Little Cat to sit down and took out a coil, a powerful magnet, and a small wick. “Let’s play a fun game..”
