Li Mo Got Into the Royal Academy of Sciences!

On the podium.

After explaining the theory, Li Mo then moved on to the practical application.

After explaining the principle of his generator, he then proceeded to explain it.

He concluded:

"I've named it the hand-cranked magnetoelectric generator. As long as human power, water power, or a steam engine drives this shaft to rotate continuously, it can continuously convert mechanical work into a stable current and transmit it out. If it's deployed on a large scale, I believe we will obtain a cleaner and more efficient energy source. That concludes my explanation. If you have any questions, please raise your hand."

In the first row, Assistant Professor Lambert from the Department of Mechanical Engineering immediately raised his hand.

Li Mo: "Professor Lambert, please go ahead."

Lambert rose, exuding elegance, and said, "Li Mo, I must commend your mathematical talent; you are the most brilliant person I have ever met..."

Li Mo scratched his head. "Professor, state your question."

Professor Lambert nodded and gently offered his thoughts. "Based on what you just said about large-scale deployment, I think it's difficult to achieve in reality."

"I think there's a problem with the gains and losses in energy conversion. We'll eventually have to use a steam engine to drive it, right? But the problem is, since there's already a working steam engine in the factory, why go through the extra work and waste a lot of heat?"

"There are also material issues. Magnetic force has an upper limit, and it is not resistant to vibration and high temperatures. On an industrial scale, magnets will demagnetize and fail in less than half a month."

"Based on these two points, I think this hand-cranked generator is theoretically very ingenious, but it's still too idealistic to expect it to leave the laboratory and be applied to actual production and daily life."

Several teachers around nodded in agreement after listening.

The students in the audience started whispering among themselves.

"Professor Lambert is right."

"See, I told you, what Li Mo said today was something new and interesting to hear..."

"Indeed, mathematics is a subject for geniuses, but engineering and mechanics require more practical experience. Li Mo's idea is not solid enough."

"He's only sixteen after all. It's already quite remarkable that he's so good at math. You can't expect him to understand calculus and also know more about building machines than a professor in the mechanical engineering department, can you?"

Li Mo felt that this question was not easy to explain.

Do I need to explain to everyone what long-distance power transmission is, or what it means for an electric motor to replace the workshop overhead shaft?

Anyway, the purpose of today's salon is just to popularize Ohm's Law and Joule's Law.

If you don't understand, then so be it. We don't even have a high-powered prototype on hand to bring to the auditorium to prove anything...

Let the bullets fly for a while.

Li Mo said, "Thank you for your correction, Professor Lambert. Time is almost up. If there are no other questions, we'll conclude today's third salon..."

"Wait a moment!"

A loud voice rang out.

Everyone turned around.

The visitor was none other than Professor Bryce.

In fact, Professor Bryce had arrived excitedly five minutes earlier.

This afternoon, the official reply from the Royal Academy of Sciences arrived at his office.

After Blythe opened the envelope and read it, he was so happy that he forgot about afternoon tea and grabbed his bag to run to the salon.

Originally, I planned to report this good news to Li Mo after Li Mo's salon ended, to give my little partner a surprise.

To everyone's surprise, upon arrival, I heard Lambert speaking eloquently from the audience.

They said, "This generator is difficult to implement in reality."

Then I heard several students around me muttering, "Not as solid as their math skills."

What infuriated Professor Bryce even more was that Li Mo on stage didn't even bother to defend himself; he simply packed up his things and prepared to leave!

--Who gave you permission to leave work?! You're so young, how can you sleep?!

Professor Bryce couldn't stand it anymore; he had to help his partner pull off this impressive performance!

He strode forward.

As he passed Assistant Professor Lambert, Assistant Professor Lambert bowed respectfully.

"Professor Bryce."

Professor Bryce glanced at him, his eyes mocking. "You just wait."

Assistant Professor Lambert tilted his head, not quite understanding what he was waiting for.

Blythe stepped onto the stage, lightly shoving Li Mo aside with his buttocks, and stood in the middle, saying:

"Mr. Lambert, you just questioned whether Li Mo's generator was limited by practical conditions and believed that it couldn't leave the laboratory, right?"

Lambert paused for a moment, unsure of the academic luminary's purpose, and could only nod awkwardly, saying, "Yes, Professor Bryce, judging from the current situation, this bottleneck does indeed exist..."

"Haha!" Professor Bryce chuckled and said, "Gentlemen, Li Mo already has a solution; he's just too lazy to say it!"

Having said that, the professor pulled out a parchment document and announced loudly:

"Gentlemen, this is the official reply from the Royal Academy of Sciences!"

These words shocked the entire audience.

Even Estelle silently raised her head.

--Royal Academy of Sciences!

These five words are incredibly valuable.

For Mondel Town, this was a complete and utter defeat!

After enjoying everyone's reaction, the professor said:

"Based on the blueprints of 'Structure of Self-Excited DC Generator and Law of Electromagnetic Induction ' sent by Li Mo, the Royal Academy of Sciences personally built an industrial prototype, powered by a two-horsepower steam engine, and tested it, which ran continuously and stably for a full twenty-four hours!"

"In view of the groundbreaking value of this achievement, the Royal Academy of Sciences adopted three resolutions:"

"First, Li Mo's full article, 'On the Law of Electromagnetic Induction and Self-Excited Generators,' will be published as the cover article of this fall's * Royal Journal of Natural Philosophy *, and the formula for induced electromotive force proposed in the article will be officially named after Li Mo!"

"Secondly, the Royal Academy of Sciences has granted Li Mo a special research grant of fifty gold pounds per month!"

"Third, exempt Li Mo from the entrance examination for higher education; he can report directly to the Royal Academy of Sciences in October!"

Having finished speaking, Professor Bryce put his hands on his hips and said with great confidence:

"Now, does anyone still think this generator can't be landed? Speak up!"

The entire audience was so shocked that they fell completely silent.

Especially those who previously thought Li Mo had lost his creative spark.

Now they all lowered their heads and dared not utter a word.

That's the Royal Academy of Sciences!

In the entire Mondel Town, apart from Professor Bryce himself, there wasn't a single person who even remotely connected to him!

The town has been established since ancient times.

No one has ever been admitted to the Royal Academy of Sciences!

What does this mean?

This is even more outrageous than Li Mo being accepted early to Wellington!

Professor Lambert remained silent for a moment.

Then, he silently stood up on the chair and announced loudly, "Everyone, let us congratulate Li Mo!"

After saying that, he jumped off the chair! Then he took off his coat and waved it in the air!

Other teachers and students quickly followed suit.

Some are whistling, some are shaking their clothes, and some are patting their stools.

Wayne even started tap dancing with his cane!

Helen unconsciously curved her eyebrows into a smile and whispered to Anna beside her, "I knew it, there's nothing Li Mo wouldn't do."

Anna blinked and glanced at Helen again.

Helen: "Hmm?"

Anna looked away, gently patted her hair, and said, "It's alright."

Estelle looked at his expressionless face, but she was somewhat surprised.

Those misers at the Royal Academy of Sciences were surprisingly generous this time.

There is only one reason:

Li Mo's achievements were even more astonishing than those described in the official documents.

The cheers lasted for a full two minutes before they subsided.

After finally managing to deal with the group of engineering professors who surrounded him, Li Mo made an appointment with Professor Bryce to go to the observatory the next day before he was able to leave.

It was already evening, and the setting sun painted the western part of Mondel Town red.

Wayne was excited the whole way. "Li Mo! You're really going to the Royal Academy of Sciences! It's the Royal Academy of Sciences! Li Mo! Don't forget me when you become successful!!"

Li Mo laughed and said, "Don't forget, we're going to take the entrance exam for the Royal Academy of Sciences together."

Wayne choked up and said, "Me... do I have to take the exam too?"

Estelle asked, "Do you want to take the entrance exam for the Royal Academy of Sciences together?"

Wayne sighed. "Yeah, that's what we agreed on, but... it might still be a bit difficult."

How difficult is it?

"You didn't know that? Sigh, Estelle, with our results, we basically shouldn't have any hope."

"Oh."

Estelle remained silent, lost in thought.

Then she asked, "Li Mo, what practical uses does a hand-cranked generator have in daily life?"

Helen asked curiously, "Yes, Li Mo, are the glass bubbles and blackened cotton threads made in the workshop related to this generator?"

Li Mo turned to look at Estelle and Helen, a smirk playing on his lips:

"You've come to the right place. Come on, come on, I'll show you a magic trick when we get back—"

My light bulb can do a backflip!
