As the afternoon approached evening, the sky above the palace quickly darkened, and the whole world shone with an eerie amber light, heralding the imminent arrival of a heavy rain.

In the square in front of Richard's palace, a soldier of the guard, holding a strange kite made by craftsmen, looked nervously at the sky above him.

There was a "boom", a muffled thunder sounded between the clouds in the sky, and a cool breeze blew violently across the square.

The guard soldier turned his head to look to the side, saw Richard nodding, swallowed his saliva with a "bang", and had the courage to raise the kite.

The kite was no ordinary kite, but a thunderbolt kite, with a small string of gold chains on it, a thin silver wire woven into the string of the towed kite, and a strangely shaped bottle attached to it at the very end.

This is the method that Richard came up with after three consecutive failed experiments - to catch thunder and lightning with a kite.

In fact, many people have this kind of thinking, and some people put it into practice. In the history of modern earth, in June 1752, the American scientist Benjamin Franklin took his son to lift a kite with a copper key into the air, and when the kite was struck by lightning, the current was successfully drawn down the wire on the kite line, proving that thunder and lightning are also a kind of electricity, and Franklin became famous.

This is considered the knowledge in the textbook of the modern earth primary school, and there is no difficulty in operating it at all, and the only thing to consider is how to store the lightning that is drawn down. Richard's choice was the Leyden bottle, the bottle that hung at the very end of the kite rope.

The Leyden bottle was developed by the Dutch scientist Massenbrock in 1745 in the history of modern earth.

The most primitive Leiden bottle is just a glass bottle or ceramic bottle, with tin foil pasted on the inner and outer walls of the bottle, and the tin foil in the bottle is connected to a metal rod inserted in the bottle through a metal chain, and the upper end of the rod is a metal ball with a diameter of about one centimeter. This structure uses the principle of a capacitor to store a certain amount of charge and release it when it is used.

Despite the simplicity of the structure, the current released is strong enough, in an experiment in Paris in 1748 on modern earth, the current released by the Leyden bottle made more than 200 monks holding hands jump collectively.

So this method is absolutely satisfying.

Richard thought as he looked at the guards.

The wind in the square was slowly getting stronger, and the kites in the hands of the guards rose higher and higher, reaching the sky.

"Boom", a little lightning flashed, and the gloomy earth suddenly lit up, followed by thunder.

The guards were startled, but they gritted their teeth and held their breath as they controlled the kite to continue to rise.

"Whirring", the wind grew angry, and the electric light between the clouds flashed frequently.

Suddenly, there was a thunderous explosion, and a thunderbolt fell on the kite in the sky.

With a "boom", the entire kite was directly ignited into a ball of fire, and the flames spread rapidly down the kite line, along with thunder and lightning.

The soldier's face turned pale for a moment, and his eyes widened suddenly. Looking at the flames, the hand uncontrollably let go, and the Leyden bottle hanging from the end of the rope immediately fell to the ground.

Edward, who was standing next to him, saw it, cursed, and rushed out. He kicked the soldier hard, and then the whole person pounced, reaching out to catch the Leyden bottle that was about to hit the ground.

The next moment, Edward's eyes widened, and he saw a blue electric light follow the kite string and fall into the bottle in his hand. A faint numbness enveloped his body, and at the same time, the hairs on his body stood up uncontrollably, giving rise to great fear in his heart. It was a fear of the unknown that kept him unable to move for a while.

After a long time, feeling the numbness on his body dissipate and the hair that stood on his feet returned to normal, Edward took a deep breath before moving. glaring viciously at the guards next to him, he quickly ran towards Richard in the palace with a Leyden bottle.

As a result, when he entered the palace with his front foot, a downpour fell on his back foot, and in an instant the whole world turned into a white expanse, and all that entered his ears was the sound of "boom, boom, boom".

Edward was surprised for a moment, a little rejoicing, then turned his head to look at Richard, and carefully handed over the Leyden bottle: "Your Royal Highness, it's all done." ”

"Hmm. Richard took the Leyden bottle and nodded, but without saying much, turned and left.

Edward said quickly behind him: "Your Royal Highness, you didn't eat lunch, then you ...... dinner" Before he finished speaking, Richard's figure walked up the stairs on the second floor and disappeared from sight.

Edward saw it, smiled helplessly, and said to himself: "Alas, is this going to go without food for a whole day, if you don't eat tomorrow morning, it will really be another whole day." Alas, it's really hard for me to be the captain of the guard......"

......

The next morning, it was not yet fully light.

Yawning, Edward walked past the palace's dining room, glanced at it casually, and suddenly glared at it, and saw Richard appear in the dining room, eating breakfast.

This!

Edward rubbed his eyes vigorously, found that he was really not mistaken, walked into the restaurant with a little disbelief, and greeted: "Your Royal Highness, you ...... Why did you wake up so early today?"

"Well, I just can't sleep. Richard let out a faint voice, sliced the white bread with a knife, smeared it with sour jam and sent it to his mouth.

Richard frowned as he ate, as if he was thinking about something.

Last night's test with natural lightning and a Leyden bottle naturally failed, otherwise I wouldn't have sat in the dining room so early for breakfast.

Last night, according to the description of "The Monroe Chapter", Richard made a second attempt to reshape the science of life. After entering the astral projection, it took a lot of effort to finally make the consciousness body awaken the physical body, and then released the current in the Leyden bottle to the physical body, hoping to enhance the body's biological current and enter a "highly activated state", and then "open up the source of law".

The current strength of the Leyden bottle was indeed enough, and in a very short period of time, Richard clearly felt some kind of magical change in his body, but ...... And only in a very short period of time.

Because the nature of the Leyden bottle is a capacitor, the current released is disposable and there is nothing left when it is used up. Therefore, when the stored charge is exhausted, the "high-energy activation state" disappears instantly, the body returns to normal, and there is naturally no way to start "opening up the source of the law".

"Sure enough, if you want to really crack this second life remodeling, you can't be opportunistic, you have to really put in some energy. Richard said in his heart.

Eating a slice of white bread smeared with sour jam again, Richard had already made up his mind.

It is not difficult to obtain a stable and strong current, even in the current medieval world, with simple materials. The main problem is that the process is cumbersome, and I have never wanted to be too troublesome, so I will test fruit batteries and the like. And now that it can't work, then we can only use the most cumbersome, troublesome and direct method.

Reaching out to pick up the quilt, drinking the warm water inside, and gently wiping his mouth with a napkin, Richard raised his head and looked at Edward, and commanded, "Get the craftsmen of the palace?"

"Now, here?" said Edward.

Richard nodded in confirmation, "Yes." ”

"Well, yes, Your Highness the Prince. Edward listened and walked out quickly.
