A few days later, in the evening, in a corner of the palace, Yu Wen Wen was sitting in a bathrobe on a recliner by the pond, focusing on reading the information. Zhang Lihua and Yuchi Mingyue, who had already entered the water, did not dare to disturb him when they saw this.

Yuwen Wen received the information submitted by Huangzhou today. As he looked at it, he became addicted to it until now. The two of them had no choice but to wait in the soup spring.

The reason why soup springs are not called "hot springs" is because the word "wen" should be avoided. Of course, there is no natural spring in the Chang'an Palace. The "soup" in this soup pond is actually the hot water burned from the boiler.

Therefore, soaking in a soup spring is equivalent to taking a bath, but the temperature of the water is slightly higher, and if you soak it for too long, you will feel dizzy.

Looking at the clock, the two of them had been soaking in the soup spring for more than half an hour, and could only sit aside with water wrapped in a bath towel and discuss finances.

The General Administration of Steamship Investment and Trade has been established, and the busy Bingzhou coal mine has begun. The palace has invested in mining affairs, and the supervisor is Zhang Lihua, so he has been busy for a while.

Yuchi Mingyue manages the accounts, and the accounts of all industries in the palace must be reviewed to share the worries of his sister. Sometimes he also directly manages the "funding", so Zhang Lihua often holds a "small meeting" with Yuchi Mingyue.

The two of them were discussing the matter, but Yuwen Wen was still looking at the information. As she looked, she couldn't help but squint her eyes.

The information in hand comes from Wuzhuangguan, Huangzhou. The content is an introduction to a metallurgical technology. This metallurgical technology is still being improved and requires a lot of financial support. The amount of funds is so large that it must be approved by Yu Wen Wen.

Yuwen Wen is not hesitant to allocate funds to conduct scientific and technological research, and the Taoist priests of Wuzhuangguan have indeed developed many useful technologies over the years, but this time, the amount of funds required is so large that Yuwen Wen hesitated.

The reason why he hesitated was not that he was reluctant to spend money, but that the prospects of this metallurgical technology, which required continuous high investment, did not seem to be as optimistic as the applicant described.

Several Taoist priests from Wuzhuang Temple studied arcs until they became obsessed with the invasion. Finally, they figured out something called an arc furnace, which can be used to smel metal. It is iron now, and steel can be made in the future.

The principle of this thing is that the electrode arc will generate high temperatures, so two electrodes can be installed in a heat-resistant furnace. After powering on, the ore or metal in the furnace will be melted by the high temperature of the arc.

There are generators in Huangzhou, of course this is not disclosed to the public. The application of arcs was very early. Arc lamps were research results, but they could not be used for long-term lighting. They are now used to create "magic powers".

Taoist priests from Wuzhuang Temple can apply to use "electricity" and conduct various experiments. Arc lamps are one of the devices, but they are used for metallurgy...

Yuwen Wen doesn't know much about metallurgy technology, but he always knows that metallurgy depends on high temperature to melt ore and metal. With the current technical level, only by burning coke can we obtain a higher furnace temperature to make steel. As for arcs...

Of course, arcs have high temperatures. The arc lamps developed more than ten years ago are used because high temperatures will cause rapid loss of electrodes, so the lighting time is not long.

But can this thing be used to melt ore and metal?

Experiments show that the high temperature of the arc is so high that it can melt iron into molten iron? True or false!

Where do you go to make furnace bodies that are high-temperature-resistant materials?

In Yuwen Wen's mind, problems arise. Electric arc furnaces are available in "modern", but because they involve electricity, it is believed that the metallurgical technology that only appeared in the electrical era will not appear earlier than the mid-19th century.

As a result, in this era when even a steam train could not be made, an electric arc furnace emerged?

Yuwen Wen was a little surprised as he thought about it. He had a criminal record of fabricating data to deceive "investment", so when he saw the information of the electric arc furnace, he was that someone was "experienced" to deceive his investment.

Even if those Taoist priests said in the information, Yuwen Wen would not believe it easily, because it was unscientific and wanted to run away before the road was well, and it would only fall miserably.

The application of electricity is a major area where he burns money, and the results are not without them. Generators, telegraphs, arc lamps, and electric bells are one of the results.

However, because it is impossible to effectively "steady voltage" and "steady current", the life of the power device is very short and it is far from practical.

Electric lights are impossible, and electric motors are impossible. Although they are made of electric fans, they can indeed blow the air after powering on. When the "world's first electric fan" is spinning, Yu Wen Wen blew the wind, and tears almost flowed out with excitement.

But it doesn't make any sense.

Because the motor will quickly burn due to overheating, and the bearings of the fan cannot withstand high speeds and are easily damaged.

Wired telegraphs are barely useful, but as the wire length increases, the signal delay phenomenon becomes more and more serious. So far, it is impossible to explain this phenomenon theoretically, let alone solve this problem.

The electricity that Yuwen Wen burned money was actually based on his "high school physics knowledge". Without a solid theoretical foundation, he would have thought too much about "inventing" electric lights (arc lights do not count), and even electric fans are very difficult.

Now an electric arc furnace appears, and no matter how he looks at it, he feels like a lie.

Those who dare to deceive the emperor must pay a price, but Yuwen Wen has no evidence to prove that the Taoist priests forged experimental data. If they get angry like this, they will seriously undermine the Taoist priests' enthusiasm for research.

I have to think of a more tactful way to pinch off the so-called electric arc furnace.

As he thought about it, Yuwen Wen stood up and walked forward with the information. Zhang Lihua and Yuchi Mingyue, who were beside him, thought he was about to go down to Tangchi after he was finished. They were about to get up to serve him, but they saw Yuwen Wen step on the air and fell off the pond with a "thump".

Yu Wenwen, who was distracted from the water because of distraction, choked a few sips of water without any protection. When he was shocked, his first thought was to fall into the trap. He quickly pinched his nose and looked at the bottom of the pool.

At the bottom of the pond, I picked up a decorative pebbles, my body shrank, turned my head to look at the water surface, but I saw two splashes of water splashing. I knew that an assassin was chasing me, and I kicked the bottom of the pond with both legs, holding the pebbles and looking up at the water surface.

Just as he was about to suffocate, his head was exposed to the water. After taking a few breaths, he raised his hand holding the pebbles and was about to "spend" at the assassin who was swimming over, but found that it was Zhang Lihua.

And Yuchi Mingyue.

Zhang Lihua was shocked when she saw Yuwen Wen holding pebbles and was about to throw them at her. She was shocked by Yuwen Wen's actions and was stunned.

The scene was a bit awkward, Yuwen Wen threw the pebbles and explained in a nae: "Oh, I thought there was an assassin..."

Zhang Lihua was a little helpless, but she didn't know what to say. Yuchi Mingyue's eyes turned red immediately, she covered her mouth and turned around and walked towards the shore.

Yuwen Wen swam over quickly, but the other party shook his hand away. Seeing his sister-in-law, Pear Blossoms, Yuwen Wen was wise in a hurry: "Si Niang! Good news, good news!"

In order to save the person, Yuchi Mingyue, who jumped into the pool before she even had time to take off her bathrobe, was unmoved after hearing this, and cried and wanted to go ashore. Yuwen Wen pulled her hard: "The electric oven is about to have an electric oven!"

"With the electric oven, I will make many delicious pastries! Is it good for Si Niang to make it for her brother-in-law to eat?"

......

At night, the moonlight was bright, but there was a sound of slap in the bedroom. Next to the gas lamp, Yuchi Mingyue was drawing sketches with a smile, not affected by the movements behind her.

My brother-in-law (husband) has agreed to the future Yuzhou (steam cruise ship), and her name will be chosen by her.

This is a power that Yuchi Mingyue has been pestering for a long time but can't get. Now that she has achieved her wish, the previous grievances have disappeared. As for the magical "electric oven", she is also very much looking forward to it.

It is said that the electric oven can accurately control the temperature and then bake various delicious pastries. When Yuchi Mingyue thinks of the future, she can prepare various small pastries for her children and husband, she feels very happy.

This is how the family should be. Yuchi Mingyue doesn’t ask for too much. She just wants to be with her brother-in-law (husband) and sister, and just live a peaceful life.

Of course, she also likes to eat snacks. When she thought that the electric oven could make many delicious pastries from her brother-in-law, Yuchi Mingyue was very excited like a mouse falling into a rice jar.

On the couch, the sound of slapping continued. Yuwen Wen lay on the couch, enjoying Zhang Lihua's light massage comfortably.

Originally, we were going to "go to three" tonight, but Yuchi Mingyue's design cruise ship "decoration" was in full swing, and Yuwen Wen's thoughts soon flew elsewhere.

The electric oven was called out by Yuwen Wen in a hurry, because this thing is very common in "modernity", and Yuchi Mingyue likes to eat snacks and small pastries, and will definitely like this new kitchen utensil.

He felt that it was not difficult to invent an electric oven, but it was easier to implement in this era than an electric arc furnace.

The electric arc furnace relies on the high temperature of the arc to melt metal. The temperature in the furnace is at least thousands of degrees, and it must also be used with a high voltage; the electric oven relies on the resistance to heat up the food, so the temperature in the oven is only a few hundred degrees. It is clear at a glance who is safe and who is dangerous.

He wanted to "invent" electric fans and other electrical appliances, but they were easily burned and worried. So, on the other hand, if you find a way to make the electrical appliances more likely to heat up, wouldn't it turn waste into treasure?

Although electric ovens are of little use to promote productivity and may not be practical, the principle of electric heating (resistance heating) can not only be used to bake food, but also have many uses.

Yuwen Wen felt that over the years, he had never expected that using electric heating would have been wasted a lot of time.

Forget the electric arc furnace, it’s a waste of money, and the soldering iron is much more practical!

Just as I was so comfortable, I heard Zhang Lihua ask: "Erlang, the envoy who was on the Western Land should leave Persia and go to Rome, right?"

Yuwen Wen nodded after hearing this: "Well, it's been almost two years since we've been out, and it's time to arrive."
