After visiting the astronomical telescope in the astronomical area, Yan Changqing continued to take Zhu Yuanzhang and others to the energy area of the next era.
The entire era energy area, Yan Changqing is modeled after related museums in previous lives, with multiple exhibition halls, each covering an area of at least one or two acres, and as many as several acres, or even more than ten acres.
One of the exhibition halls is the Ancient Energy Exhibition Hall.
The first thing displayed in front of them was a group of Yuanshi barbarians made of wax figures and dressed in leaves and animal skins, surrounding a ferocious beast that had just died, eating the flesh of the beast raw with hair and blood.
The blood of beasts overflowed and solidified at the corners of the Yuanshi barbarian's mouth made of wax figures, splashing red on the fertile land.
"Rubbing hair and drinking blood, what a barbaric behavior this, this, this is!!!"
Song Lian looked at the scene in front of him and immediately remembered the record in the "Book of Rites: Liyun": "There is no cremation, eating grass and trees, the meat of birds and beasts, drinking their blood, rutting their hair, and no hemp silk , clothes with feathers and skins.
Looking at the stunned Zhu Yuanzhang and all the civil and military officials, Yan Changqing explained:
"In ancient times, the human race did not know how to use fire, so they could only eat birds and beasts raw with hair and blood."
"What you see now is a scene of ancient Human Race life made of wax figures."
Yan Changqing then moved to another pile of wax figures and introduced:
"Fire is everywhere in nature."
"The volcano erupts violently, spewing out strong mountain fires; the lightning and thunder are fires from the sky. When they fall into the forest on the ground, they will cause mountain fires in the dense and deep forests."
"However, when fire burns an animal or a human, it will cause the animal or human to scream and wail in pain, and then die."
"So in the ancient Yuanshi period, whether it was an animal or an ancient human race, they all had an attitude of avoiding fire.'
Zhu Yuanzhang and a group of civil and military officials looked at the pile of beasts and ancient human race wax figures that were fleeing in front of them in front of the mountain fire caused by thunder. Listening to Saint Ban Heng's narration, a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes. The color of thinking.
"But in ancient times, unlike today, it was very difficult to hunt animals for food."
"So, both forced and destined, there was a 400-year-old Human Race who couldn't hunt for food and had no enough to eat. He had to take risks to pick up the beasts burned to death by the Thunder Mountain Fire as food."
"And this taste immediately made this ancient Human Race discover that the beasts roasted by the Thunder Mountain Fire were much more delicious than the beasts dripping with blood that they had eaten raw before."
"Since then, the ancient Human Race has gradually realized that food cooked by fire is more delicious."
"So they began to take the various beasts they captured to find the Thunder Mountain that had not yet been extinguished.
As Yan Changqing narrated, Zhu Yuanzhang and a group of civil and military officials also looked at another pile of ancient Human Race wax figures.
This bunch of ancient Human Race wax figures are no longer afraid of the Thunder Mountain Fire. Instead, they lead the beasts everywhere in search of the Thunder Mountain Fire.
Once he finds the Thunder Mountain Fire that has not been extinguished, he immediately puts the prey in his hand into the Thunder Mountain Fire for roasting with joy.
"But the Thunder Mountain Fire does not happen all the time. It may only happen once or twice every ten days and a half."
“And even if the Thunder Mountain Fire occurs, the ancient Human Race may not be able to find and cook its prey before the Thunder Mountain Fire is extinguished.
"And how can the ancient Human Race, who has tasted barbecued and cooked food, accept that he can continue to return to a life of eating hair and drinking blood."
"So, being forced to do so and destined to do so, the ancient Human Race began to think about how to preserve the Thunder Mountain Fire and keep it alive for a long time."
“Then, they discovered that as long as they added firewood to the Thunder Mountain Fire before it went out, the Thunder Mountain Fire could continue to burn.
"So, the ancient Human Race began to borrow thunder mountain fire, ignite firewood, and then bring it back to the tribe."
"At the same time, in order to prevent the firewood from going out, whenever the firewood is about to burn out, new firewood will be thrown in to ensure that the firewood does not go out."
Yan Changqing stood in front of the pile of Yuanshi wax figures and spoke calmly.
Among the pile of Yuanshi wax figures in front of him, one Yuanshi wax figure took firewood to borrow the Thunder Mountain Fire to light, and another Yuanshi wax figure took (bhed) the lit firewood and walked toward the tribe.
Another Yuanshi wax figure puts the firewood in the middle of the tribe, while another Yuanshi wax figure is ready to put in new firewood at any time to pass on the firewood.
Seeing this scene, Song Lian couldn't help but sigh:
“This is the origin of passing on the fire from generation to generation!!!”
Zhu Yuanzhang and other civil and military officials couldn't help but nodded in agreement when they heard Song Lian's words.
"However, even in ancient times, the Human Race discovered that it could use thunderous mountain fire to light firewood."
"However, it is still very difficult to keep the fire burning for a long time."
"Because the firewood may be blown out by strong winds, it may be extinguished by rain, and it may not be ignited because the firewood contains moisture, etc."
"So the ancient Human Race once again had to find other ways to better preserve the Thunder Mountain Fire."
"In the long practice of life, it is either a coincidence or destiny."
"An ancient Human Race suddenly discovered that if you put a hard and sharp piece of wood on another piece of equally hard wood, and drill holes with all your strength, you can actually drill out sparks, and then produce 'thunder' Mountain fire'!"
"So, after many repeated trials, the ancient Human Race finally successfully mastered the ability to drill wood to make fire!"
Yan Changqing moved again, walked to another group of Yuanshi wax figures, and told.
Song Lian pointed to the wax figure of Yuanshi in front of him, who was making fire by drilling wood, and said excitedly:
"Sui! Sui! Sui!!!"
"This is the Suiren Clan sage!!!"
Although the "Suiren Clan" in front of them looks like the tall, mighty and imposing Suiren Clan they imagined in their minds, it is completely different from the Suiren Clan of the ancient Saint of Human Race.
However, thinking that this "Suiren Clan" was just a wax figure made by Saint Ban Heng based on the legend of the Saint of Suiren Clan's "drilling wood to make fire", Zhu Yuanzhang and other civil and military officials finally nodded against their will.
Since the ancients learned to make artificial fire, people's lives have undergone earth-shaking changes. People have become accustomed to eating cooked food, began to use fire to drive away ferocious beasts that threaten people, and began to use fire to drive away the harsh winter.
"Ever since the ancient Human Race learned how to make artificial fire, the life of the ancient Human Race has undergone earth-shaking changes. People became accustomed to eating cooked food, began to use fire to drive away ferocious beasts that threatened people, and began to use fire to drive away severe... ………”
"At this point, the ancient Human Race has gradually left the Yuanshi barbaric stage and begun to enter the tribal civilization stage."
"The era of fire, or firewood as the main energy source, has continued since ancient times to this day."
"This is the Ancient Firewood Energy Exhibition Hall!"
At the end exit of Exhibition Hall No. 1, Yan Changqing concluded with a calm expression.
Zhu Yuanzhang and other civil and military officials also had expressions of interest on their faces. The ancient firewood energy exhibition hall they just passed through seemed to take them back to the ancient times.
Witnessed with my own eyes how the Suiren Clan and other ancient Human Races discovered, utilized and mastered fire.
This feeling is still very fresh and interesting for them.
Immediately, Yan Changqing also led Zhu Yuanzhang and a group of civil and military officials into the No. 2 exhibition hall, which is also the contemporary energy exhibition hall.
As soon as they entered the Contemporary Energy Exhibition Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang and a group of civil and military officials saw a very familiar scene.
In front of them was a group of city life composed of hundreds of wax figures.
Among them, there are people who use firewood to boil water, heat, and cook, and there are also people who use briquettes made from coal to heat water, heat, and cook.
There is even a scene at the back showing how to make briquettes.
At the same time, Yan Changqing also introduced:
“From the ancient firewood energy exhibition hall just now, we can see that the energy mainly used by the Human Race has basically not changed much for thousands of years.
"Firewood has always been the main energy source."
"In the Song Dynasty, the main energy used by Human Race began to show new changes - coal!"
"However, although coal was used on a large scale in the Song Dynasty, people in the past did not realize the existence of carbon monoxide, and there was no way to avoid coal poisoning."
"So although coal has appeared, it has not really been promoted and used on a large scale."
"So from the Song Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, the main energy used by the people was firewood as the main energy source and coal as the supplement."
"Now, as we realize the existence of carbon monoxide and know how to avoid coal poisoning.
"The use of coal has begun to be promoted and applied on a large scale."
"And with the development of time, in the next ten years, ordinary people will gradually evolve into an energy use method based on coal and firewood as a supplement."
"By then, it can also be called the coal energy era!"
In this regard, neither Zhu Yuanzhang nor all civil and military officials had any objections.
Although briquettes made from coal were only promoted and sold in Dali last year.
However, due to the role of briquette stoves, it is guaranteed that ordinary people will basically not die of carbon monoxide poisoning when using briquettes. In addition, briquettes are cheap.
It can be said that briquettes became very popular once they were promoted and sold.
This can be seen from the fact that the Ministry of Household Affairs sold 20 billion pieces of briquettes last year alone.
And 20 billion pieces of briquettes, is that a lot?!!
To be honest, not much.
There are at least 60 million people in the Ming Dynasty. On average, one person consumed about 333 yuan of briquettes last year.
On average, 333 pieces of briquettes are consumed in a year, and an ordinary person consumes less than one piece of briquettes a day.
If calculated based on the actual demand for briquettes by the people of Ming Dynasty, this quantity is far from enough.
After all, in addition to the common people, the amount of briquettes consumed by other royal families, noble marquises, civil and military officials, gentry, landlords, subordinates, and other industries such as restaurants, restaurants, breakfasts, stalls, etc. is even more ordinary. Thousands of times as many as ordinary people.
Therefore, based on this situation, the Ministry of Revenue has just formulated a plan to sell 30 billion pieces of briquettes this year to earn an estimated fiscal revenue of tens of millions of dollars.
Therefore, under such circumstances, Zhu Yuanzhang and a group of civil and military officials had no objection to Saint Ban Heng's statement that "in the next ten years or so, ordinary people will gradually evolve into an energy use method dominated by coal and supplemented by firewood." No objection.
Then everyone passed through a group of city life figures composed of wax figures and entered another small area.
In this small area, Zhu Yuanzhang and a group of civil and military officials also saw
A somewhat familiar scene.
Rural families composed of wax figures have no firewood or briquettes under the stoves in their homes, only a gas pipe.
The wax figure holds a fire folder in his hand and is about to light a fire.
"After briquettes made from coal, biogas digesters will be further promoted and applied in the next few decades.'
"With the promotion and application of biogas digesters, in the future people will gradually evolve into an energy use method that attaches equal importance to coal and biogas, supplemented by firewood."
"Biogas can also be said to be the next energy era after the coal energy era!"
"Whether it is the coal energy era or the biogas energy era, this can be clearly foreseen at the moment and can be clearly witnessed in the contemporary era."
“So this exhibition hall is also called the Contemporary Coal and Biogas Energy Exhibition Hall!”
Yan Changqing also concluded once again.
