In Li Zexuan's plan, Yanhuang College was not just a place to teach or study.
The college had the important mission of revitalizing the industrial base of the Great Tang Empire. In the future, Li Zexuan would let some teachers or students from the college take the lead and participate in some major projects.
The dam on the Ba River was only the first project Yanhuang College had undertaken!
As engineering developed rapidly in the future, the college would have to take the lead in more and more projects. He wanted to make the college similar to the top universities in modern times, forming a perfect closed loop of production, learning, and research!
"Mr. Mo, in your opinion, how much will it cost to build this dam?"
In the meeting room, after confirming the candidate to preside over the construction of the dam, Li Zexuan turned to Mo Huai and asked.
Mo Huai thought for a moment and shook his head. "It's hard to estimate at the moment! But I'm sure that the cost of building this dam will be much higher than building the cement road last year! I'll think about the dam's construction plan and estimate the cost when the time comes! "
Li Zexuan nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Mo!"
"No problem, no problem!"
Mo Huai waved his hand.
Putting aside his identity as a teacher of the college, as the son of the Mo Family, he was very passionate about this kind of project. Although the task given by Li Zexuan seemed difficult, it was also a difficult challenge for Mo Huai. He was very willing to accept this challenge!
In this aspect, he was somewhat similar to Yan Shaoning!
"Yamachō, what should I do?"
Ever since Mo Lingwei came to the meeting room, she hadn't said a word for a long time. At this moment, she saw that Li Zexuan had assigned everyone's tasks except for her. She couldn't help but frown and say unhappily.
Li Zexuan immediately broke out in a sweat. He did not expect that he had forgotten about this tigress. This woman was so ruthless that he could not afford to offend her. At this moment, he thought of a plan and quickly said,
"Ahem! Ink Girl, it's indeed inappropriate for a girl like you to participate in the construction of the dam, but … "
Mo Lingwei hated it when people thought that women were weak. When she heard this, her eyes immediately widened and she was about to explode in anger. Fortunately, she heard the twist at the end of this sentence and her anger subsided. She wanted to hear what Li Zexuan had to say next.
When Li Zexuan saw the girl's reaction, he found it funny and continued.
"However, I still have a very important matter that I want to hand over to the Ink Girl. Its importance is no less than the dam on the Ba River!"
Mo Lingwei's eyes lit up, and her expression quickly turned to one of excitement. "Yamachō, what kind of mission is it?"
Looking at her competitive appearance, Li Zexuan felt a little speechless. He thought to himself, Why is this like coaxing a child?
"Last year, I made the telegraph machine. Ink Girl should already know the general principle behind it. The reason why I want to build this dam this year, other than to store water to prevent drought, is to use this dam to generate electricity.
The most important thing is the generator. I have already drawn the blueprint for the generator, but having the blueprint does not mean that it can be built successfully. There are still many technical difficulties! Therefore, I am giving this mission to you, Ink Girl. If you succeed, Tang Dynasty will have a new thing because of you. This thing will also bring about earth-shattering changes to Tang Dynasty! "
Mo Lingwei was taken aback. From Li Zexuan's words, she could feel the unparalleled importance of this generator. However, she still did not understand what this generator was, so she asked, "What is it?
"Yamachō, what is a generator? What does this generator have to do with the dam? "
Li Zexuan thought for a moment with his hands behind his back. After a while, he said, "In this world, all things are energy conserved! We can usually obtain energy from food by eating. The energy we obtain is usually used to walk, talk, think, or perform other activities.
For example, when I push this chair, I use my own energy to generate kinetic energy for the chair. The energy I use is equal to the kinetic energy generated by the chair and the heat generated by the friction between the chair and the ground. This is the principle of energy conservation!
As for the relationship between the dam and the generator, I built the dam mainly to raise the distance between the river and the riverbed to create a potential difference. When the river flows from a high place to a low place, the kinetic energy of the river will cause the generator to move. The generator will then convert this kinetic energy into electricity, and we will be able to obtain the electricity we need! "
"Conservation of all things energy?"
Before Mo Lingwei could say anything, Mo Huai could not help but exclaim, "Back then, the Mo family's Divine Ancestor also said that all things in the world are born from something, and something is born from nothing. However, something cannot be created from nothing. Could this be what you mean, Yamachō ~?"
Although Li Zexuan had previously said that he was not the reincarnation of the Mo family's Divine Ancestor, Mo Huai could not help but think so sometimes. After all, Li Zexuan's knowledge was too advanced.
Li Zexuan said in surprise, "I didn't expect the Mo family's Divine Ancestor to have such knowledge back then. This junior is really impressed!"
Mo Lingwei said proudly, "Hmph! Of course! There is nothing the Divine Ancestor doesn't know. However, Yamachō, you have to give me the blueprint as soon as possible. I will take it back and study it carefully! "
Li Zexuan nodded and said, "Okay! I will get someone to send the blueprint to Ink Girl in the afternoon. I hope you can understand it as soon as possible! "
In fact, he was laughing in his heart. This generator was not like an astronomical telescope. Its internal structure was very complicated. Although the Mo family was good at engineering, they definitely did not know anything about electricity. He hoped that when Mo Lingwei saw the blueprint, she would not come looking for him with a big head!
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Mo Lingwei did not know about Li Zexuan's sinister intentions. She nodded happily and replied.
"Oh! It will take a long time to complete the dam. During this time, I suggest that Ink Girl study the academy's physics textbooks for the first and second semester. It will be very helpful for you to build the generator! "
Li Zexuan thought about it and gave Mo Lingwei a suggestion out of goodwill.
This was because the academy's second volume of physics textbooks had already started to explain electricity. If Mo Lingwei studied it carefully, she would encounter much less resistance when building the generator.
"Oh! Then I will ask my father for two textbooks! "
