Super God: Rise of Civilization

The president of the engineering academy was personally holding the handle of an instrument that was less than fifty centimeters long and gently shaking it.

The instrument consists of a large gear and a small gear on the left, a hollow piece of wood in the middle, and a small crank handle on the right.

There is an iron wire at the bottom, which connects to an unidentified object set to the left. There is also an iron wire at the tail of the instrument, which connects to an object five centimeters away from the gear to the left.

As the president of the engineering academy shook the handle, the instrument's pointer began to move.

"Dean, it's done, it's done."

"Three volts, the voltage is three volts."

Upon seeing the voltage displayed on the instrument, the Imperial Academy of Engineering researcher responsible for monitoring the voltmeter exclaimed excitedly.

They finally managed to build a generator.

Although this is the simplest generator and its function is not significant, it is still of great importance to the Star Empire.

"A hand-cranked generator?"

Yang Yu, standing in the corner, narrowed his eyes. A smile played on his lips.

The advent of the generator marked the beginning of the Star Empire's transition to the electrical age.

He did not linger at the Academy of Engineering, but quietly left and returned to the Imperial Palace.

"Dean, should we present it to His Majesty now?" A researcher looked uncertainly at the Dean of the Academy of Engineering and asked tentatively.

"Need not."

The director of the engineering institute shook his head. The hand-cranked generator was not very useful, but it was of great significance. He said, "From now on, this hand-cranked generator will be placed in this laboratory. Anyone who needs to use it can use it, but they cannot take it away."

……

Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.

The advent of generators signified that the Star Empire had officially entered the electrical age.

With the help of the engineering institute, internal combustion engines and electric motors were also developed.

Even the light bulb was invented.

At the same time, it also means that the pollution of the Star Empire, belonging to the industrial age, has begun.

Upon witnessing the positive effects of electricity and electric lights, the Ministry of Finance immediately began to vigorously promote them.

What hindered the development of the electrical age?

Who has the guts?

No one dares to hinder the progress of the times, nor can anyone stop it.

The current situation of the people under the empire's rule is related to the performance evaluation of officials, so they dare not hinder the empire's development.

Year 132 of the Star Era.

After about thirty years of electrical development, the Star Empire has truly entered the electrical age.

Electrical equipment such as telephones, radios, internal combustion engines, electric motors, machine tools, and generators have also been developed.

However, Yang Yu still had no clue about the car he was so eager to get.

But on this very day...

The secretary-general walked excitedly into the Imperial Garden, but seeing His Majesty the Emperor admiring the flowers in the garden, he quickly suppressed the smile on his face.

"I could see you were very happy even from a distance. What good news is it? Tell me."

He put down his teacup and looked at the secretary-general.

"Your Majesty, the Director of the Imperial Academy of Engineering requests an audience."

"Oh? Please have him come over!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Yu said softly.

The president of the Chinese Academy of Engineering is already in his eighties.

Although I am very young compared to him, I have existed with the empire for a century, while he has only lived for a hundred years; there is no comparison.

Moreover, during his years in office, this dean truly dedicated himself to the empire.

From the end of the steam age to today's electrical age.

He had already given his entire life for the empire.

"promise."

Not even enough for a cup of tea.

A man with a slightly hunched back, looking nothing like the sprightly old man he was thirty years ago, dressed in simple clothing belonging to the Star Empire, accompanied by two short-haired youths who resembled bodyguards, cautiously looked at the faltering old man, "This old minister..."

"no."

Yang Yu waved his hand, "I have already said that you are over seventy years old and do not need to perform the rites."

"The proper etiquette must not be disregarded. You are the ruler and father, and I am the subject."

The old man said stubbornly.

"sit!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"What business does my dear minister have with me?"

After the old man sat down, Yang Yu asked curiously, "But in some places, were you being held hostage?"

"Your Majesty, your old minister has lived up to your expectations and has successfully developed the automobile."

The old man said.

"Really?" Upon hearing this, Yang Yu's eyes lit up. The car had been moved out?

then.

Yang Yu then followed the old man to the Engineering Institute to examine the Empire's latest inventions.

Over the past hundred years, the Star Empire has not reduced its investment in road construction; smooth cement roads stretching in all directions are just waiting for the arrival of automobiles.

We arrived at the experimental site of the Imperial Academy of Engineering.

When Yang Yu looked at the black car parked at the experimental site, surrounded by many researchers examining it, his eyes lit up. The car, this epoch-making thing, had finally arrived.

"Your Majesty, please."

The old man said.

Without hesitation, after the Imperial Guards separated the researchers, he followed the Dean of the Engineering Academy toward the Star Empire's first car.

Meanwhile, the researchers standing next to the vehicle quickly opened the car door for the emperor.

"Still a scissor door? That's creative, really creative."

Yang Yu was full of praise; the Empire's researchers were truly creative.

The first car actually uses a scissor door design, not bad.

Once inside the vehicle, the space is quite large, but all the facilities are very basic.

The president of the engineering academy, with the help of others, got into the car.

A researcher also got into the car and sat in the driver's seat.

"Your Majesty, please fasten your seatbelt."

The president of the engineering academy said.

"seat belt?"

"When our engineering institute was designing cars, we considered that if the car was going too fast and there was a sudden event ahead, the people sitting in the car would be thrown forward uncontrollably during a sudden stop, which could cause unnecessary damage. So we developed a protective measure, which we call a seat belt."

"Good, as expected of the Imperial Academy of Engineering, on which I have placed high hopes, it has considered everything thoroughly."

Yang Yu's eyes lit up. The Imperial Academy of Engineering had indeed brought him a pleasant surprise; even seatbelt protection measures had appeared.

It's far superior to the design of the first car in Yuanxing's history.

"The design of this car mainly utilizes a single-cylinder four-stroke gasoline engine and electronic ignition..."

The president of the engineering institute patiently explained to the emperor the structure and working principle of the car.

Yang Yu didn't interrupt him, but fastened his seatbelt and sat down next to him to listen to his story.

The car started, but it was moving very slowly, yet Yang Yu was still very satisfied.

Slow speed is not a problem.

It's unrealistic to expect someone to become obese overnight.

The car drove around the plaza of the Imperial Academy of Engineering once and then stopped.

Yang Yu got out of the car, looked seriously at the scientific researchers present, and said: "Today will surely be recorded in the history of the empire, and you will be remembered in history books, just like the first, second, third and fourth presidents of the Academy of Engineering, becoming a significant part of the empire's textbooks."

"We will dedicate all our knowledge and skills to the development of the empire, and live up to His Majesty's and the empire's expectations."

The researchers' faces were flushed.

It's enough that textbooks record it; let them die now.

"Your Majesty." Just then, the Secretary General hurriedly pushed through the crowd and whispered in Yang Yu's ear, "The Prime Minister passed away ten minutes ago."

Yang Yu immediately abandoned any intention of lingering there. He turned to the Dean of the Academy of Engineering and said, "My dear minister, something has come up on my end that I need to deal with. Go ahead and do your job. I and the Empire are your greatest support. Your rewards will be distributed after I have dealt with the matter there."

"Your Majesty, please attend to the matters at hand. This old minister is not in a hurry."

Chapter 15 [The Glider Departs]

Back to the Imperial Palace.

Yang Yu listened to the report from the Divine Machine Guard and fell into deep silence.

"I have failed you all."

He felt guilty towards these ministers. The three previous prime ministers, including the ministers of education and justice, almost all died on the road to serving the empire.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister's secretary has delivered a letter to you. It is from the Prime Minister himself."
