Chapter 450: You Created a New Era
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Bai Wutong’s due date was at the end of the month. Everyone carefully avoided her and carried a comfortable chair for Bai Wutong.
Bai Wutong looked at Little Cat and said gently, “I heard that you can deliver electricity into the doll, so I came to take a look.”
Bai Wutong could have summoned him over, but she came personally. Little Cat hurriedly introduced, “Yes, I set up a device similar to a generator in the doll. This device can generate electricity and allow the electricity in other generators to be stored in it. When the doll has no electricity, it can be connected to other generators in the device and charge electricity.”
A researcher said, “Then we’ll need another generator to replenish the power. Won’t it be very troublesome?”
He Jinchuan shook his head. “When the power plant is built and perfected, there’s no need to use a small generator. By connecting the wiring to the interface, you can directly use electricity and turn on the electric lights. It’ll be very convenient to use such portable lights where the wires can’t be inserted. This is a great creation.”
He Jinchuan’s explanation made everyone’s eyes light up. Indeed, if they could use electricity portablely, then even if they were far away, the machinery they had created that needed to be supplied with electricity could still be used.
Especially Zhao Yuan, his eyes seemed to shoot out lasers. He did not expect Little Cat to really accomplish it.
He said excitedly, “Can you show me the internal structure?”
He had also been trying to combine a generator with a bicycle, but the energy required was too great. There was no way to operate at high frequency without connecting to the wires. Little Cat’s invention was like timely rain to his idea.
The others also looked curious. If they could use this technology, they would definitely be able to make Carefree City stand at the peak.
After receiving He Jinchuan’s affirmation, a smile appeared on Little Cat’s face. He opened the doll’s stomach and took out the power storage device. He let everyone see the internal circulation structure up close and explained in detail where he had obtained his inspiration.
Bai Wutong thought that the power storage device that Little Cat mentioned was like a lithium battery. However, what was magical was that it was different from the principle structure of a lithium battery. Instead, it was similar to the energy change structure caused by the recent apocalypse. It was seen through by Little Cat from the books and he directly skipped the lithium-electron era that would cause pollution and entered the era of environmentally friendly energy.
It had to be said that some people were born geniuses in this field.
Bai Wutong had only used space to impart some knowledge, but he could already draw inferences and reach the peak of the era.
Bai Wutong sighed. “The wirelessly stored electrical devices can allow machines to be unrestricted by the electric wires. We can also have light when we travel at night. Little Cat, you’ve created a new era.”
Little Cat said humbly, “Although the power storage device is convenient, the power is still not as high as wire transmission. We need to use high-power electric lights, so we still have to rely on wired devices.”
Most modern large mechanical cars relied on oil to circulate. Electric cars needed specialized conversion equipment, while solar hover cars needed solar light speed plates. Bai Wutong had detailed steps, processes, blueprints, and videos, but she could not reveal them all in one go. In the future, she would reveal a little and let them continue to explore before learning these technologies.
Bai Wutong smiled and said, “There’s no need to be humble. You’ve made a great contribution to our Carefree Kingdom.”
Little Cat revealed a rare look of embarrassment. “I just want the Great Empress to be able to use a more convenient fan, but I haven’t made it yet.”
Bai Wutong smiled and said, “It’ll be done soon. Are you willing to become a high-level core researcher of the research institute?”
Little Cat looked up suddenly. “Can I?”
Bai Wutong looked around. “Everyone can see your talent. If you don’t join the research institute, it will probably be our loss.”
The researchers in the research institute were evaluated on several levels.
There were only a few high-level core researchers now. They enjoyed the treatment of national treasures and were specially protected by guards.
Little Cat was not even 10 years old, but he was already comparable to the others. Envy flashed across the faces of the other researchers, but they had to admit that Little Cat was talented. Perhaps they would not be able to achieve his results in their lifetime.
There were people and things that Little Cat liked in the research institute. If he could obtain the title of a high-level core researcher, he could freely enter the research institute’s library and various research rooms. Little Cat held his breath and nodded excitedly. “I’m willing.”
Bai Wutong smiled and personally awarded him the medal of a high-level core researcher. She said to the others, “After the power station is established, daily electricity usage will become a common occurrence. I hope everyone can continue to work hard and create a new world for the lives of the commoners.”
“We will remember the Great Empress’ instructions.”
The tools for the workers in the mine were still torches. It was inconvenient to use torches. With Little Cat’s charging device, they could produce flashlights and headlamps in large quantities, making it safer and more convenient for the miners.
Bai Wutong asked He Jinchuan to develop a flashlight with strong lighting and build a temporary charging table in the mining area. When the flashlight and headlamp ran out of battery, they could charge at the charging table.
When Little Cat heard this, another idea appeared in his mind. What if there was a portable charging device? Would it be able to be replenished in time if there was a temporary power outage on the way down the mine?
The use of different filaments could make the wick appear in different states. After a week of hard research and experimentation, He Jinchuan finally created a portable flashlight and headlamp for the mine. Zhao Yuan borrowed it to study it and even designed a bicycle headlamp.
On the other hand, Little Cat had modified the Little Cat doll into a Little Cat lamp on the basis of He Jinchuan’s improved wick. A hat with light grew out of the cute little cat’s head. It was novel and cute.
Little Cat tried it for a few nights. Compared to the flickering dim kerosene lamp, it was more convenient and did not have any smell. The light was also much more stable.
He felt that the device to pull the string was too inconvenient. If the string broke, Zhang Tiantian would have to carry it back to him.
Little Cat stayed up for another night and modified the string on the device to a button switch.
As long as he pressed the button, the Little Cat lamp would light up. If he pressed the button again, the Little Cat lamp would be turned off.
He was very satisfied with his settings for the button switch. He even specially let He Jinchuan take a look.
He Jinchuan designed a switch for the flashlight and headlamp. When he saw Little Cat’s button switch, he praised, “When household electric lights are popularized to thousands of families, the button switch you designed will be more compatible with the wall aesthetics. Hurry up and apply for a patent.” Little Cat thought that this was not a big achievement, but He Jinchuan said, “If you don’t register and someone beat you to it, you’ll vomit to death if someone uses it to publicize your achievements in the future. Go and register. It won’t take much effort.”
He Jinchuan was teaching him to avoid future trouble. Little Cat accepted his kind suggestion, but Zheng Guo, who was in charge of registering patents, was dumbfounded.. In just a short period of time, Little Cat had already registered three patents with him!
