For the past half a month, he had been doing these boring experiments.
Sometimes, they would fail inexplicably, and then they would start to find the reason and experiment again.
Only after the experiment was successful and the most standard and correct operation was found would the next experiment be carried out.
To be honest, he was a little surprised at how he had persisted.
"Perhaps everything is for the future, to control fate!”
Li Ke shook his head and chuckled.
He knew very well that if he wanted to get what others could not get, he had to do what others could not do!
Every experiment he did now, every thing he did, was a card in his hand after he transmigrated!
The more cards he had, the bigger the cards.
Only then could he control his own fate!
Therefore, he had been brainwashing himself, telling himself to experiment seriously and not let go of any details.
Just like that, he found happiness and motivation in the experiment!
If others brainwashed you, it would be like painting a cake.
But if he brainwashed himself, he would be invincible!
Fortunately, the experiment in this half a month of madness had yielded a huge harvest!
Not only did he complete his chemistry experiments, but he also completed some physics experiments!
For example, the steam engine, compass, gunpowder, electricity generation, and so on.
Of course, the experiments he was talking about were all laboratory projects, not the kind that would be mass-produced.
For example, the steam engine experiment. He definitely wouldn't build a real steam engine, which was obviously unrealistic.
Not to mention the need for a large amount of steel and the need to find a factory to process it.
The size of this laboratory was not enough!
The steam engine experiment that he was referring to was a simple steam engine that he had made himself. It was made using cola cans, infusion tubes for transmitting steam, alcohol lamps, and other equipment.
Although it was simple, the principle was exactly the same as a real steam engine.
He even bought a real steam engine model from the Internet! (There are pictures)
Although it was called a model, it could actually be used.
It was a scaled-down real steam engine!
He used an alcohol lamp to heat the cylinder of the steam engine. The water inside was heated to produce hot steam.
Through the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, the hot steam expanded and then pushed the steam engine's pistons to do work.
A single thermal expansion and contraction was a single movement of the piston.
The repeated expansion and contraction formed an endless supply of power!
As long as the boiling water continued, the steam would continue, and so would the power!
Otherwise, why did it say that the progress of mankind was to study how to boil water!
The steam engine boiled water and converted heat energy into kinetic energy.
The thermal power plant also boiled water, converting the heat energy into kinetic energy through the steam turbine, and then converting the kinetic energy into electricity through the generator.
Even nuclear power plants used nuclear energy to boil water to generate electricity.
Even the current nuclear powered aircraft carriers sounded quite advanced.
But that still required boiling water, and it was a steam engine!
However, the steam engine used to boil water by burning coal, but now it used nuclear energy to boil water.
After the steam engine, Li Ke experimented with gunpowder.
Of course, it was only a very small amount of gunpowder. He did not dare to make too much.
Firstly, it was not safe in the laboratory. Secondly, he had not transmigrated yet. He would be punished by the laws of this world.
However, a small amount of gunpowder was enough for the experiment. He only wanted to verify the formula and process, not how much gunpowder he wanted to make.
He started with the most basic black gunpowder, using three raw materials, namely, potash, sulfur, and carbon, to make some black gunpowder.
He had followed the most perfect formula, so the quality of the black gunpowder was still very high, which made him very satisfied.
Next was the single base gunpowder.
This was the gunpowder that Li Ke wanted to focus on producing after he transmigrated.
This was because this was more powerful, and relatively speaking, the technical difficulty was not particularly high. It was suitable for large-scale application.
The experiment on the single-base gunpowder was also very smooth, and there were no errors.
After that, it was the double-base and triple-base gunpowder.
To be honest, he was a little nervous when he was making double-base and triple-base gunpowder.
After all, this thing was quite powerful. Although he was only making a small amount, it was inevitable that he would be nervous.
Fortunately, he had the most standard experimental procedures in mind. All the operations were the most standard, so there were no accidents in the experiment.
"In the future, the single base will be used as gunpowder for bullets. The double and triple bases will be used as gunpowder for cannonballs!”
Li Ke categorized the uses of these three types of gunpowder according to their power.
The experiment with the compass was much simpler. He rubbed a steel needle against the magnet a few times, then placed it on the surface of the water. The steel needle immediately pointed north.
Yes, although it was called a compass, the needle was actually pointing north.
Then, he experimented on how to generate electricity.
Power generation was actually the process of metal cutting through the magnetic field.
Metal cutting magnetic fields would produce electric currents. This was something that he had learned in junior high school physics.
However, how to generate electricity on a large scale, how to transmit electricity, and how to control electricity required more profound knowledge.
He could only do a simple experiment in the laboratory to generate electricity. The rest of the things could only be done after he transmigrated.
However, he had already memorized the theory in his mind. After he transmigrated, he would specially train a group of electric power talents for them to study and ponder.
Other than that, he also did a lot of physics experiments.
Basically, he had done all the experiments that could be done in the laboratory!
Half a month ago, he was a theoretical expert because he had read a lot of professional books.
After half a month of crazy experiments in all aspects, he had now become a high-level talent who had both theory and practice!
Right now, he was walking on two legs and was very stable!
He has both theory and practice.
Although there was only half a month left before transmigration.
However, he was filled with confidence!
