The young man jumped down from the ladder and scratched his head: "Madam, how on earth is the lightning stored in here? Why can it be stored and turned into a lamp?"

Lin Jin pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Where is your physics?"

This is because I haven't learned about electromagnetism yet, otherwise why would I think that this electricity is storing lightning.

Miao Wenrui scratched his head. He had only been in the Imperial College for a short time. He knew that other people were studying something called physics. He had also read the book for a few days, but he could not always grasp the meaning and only had a superficial understanding.

"We have learned electromagnetism. He has just come to the Imperial College and is having trouble keeping up with his studies. Madam, you can just ask us directly." Another young man answered Lin Jin before Miao Wenrui could, trying hard to show off in front of Lin Jin.

The elders in their family had told them that the prime minister's wife was not only favored by the prime minister, but also a person of real ability and wisdom. They must build a good relationship with this lady. It would be best if they could win her favor. If one day she could mention her in front of the prime minister, their career would be much smoother.

Miao Wenrui smiled awkwardly, stepped back from the crowd, left his seat to them, and stopped embarrassing himself. He was old enough so his parents hoped that he could have a good future, so they sent him to his ancestral home outside the capital, and he was admitted to the Imperial College thanks to his uncle.

Lin Jin took in all the little actions of these people, but she didn't say anything. Every place is a small society, and she didn't know the whole story. It would be bad for her to interfere in these people's affairs. It would be easy to do bad things if you are short-sighted.

"Madam, this lamp needs electricity to light up. Is it because there is a magnet inside?" Guan Heqian asked. However, he didn't understand what the other piece on the roof was used for if it was because of the magnet.

"No." Lin Jin smiled and shook her head, explaining the principle to him, "This is not magnetoelectricity, it's the photovoltaic effect, which is somewhat different from electromagnetism."

Since these people have learned about electromagnetism, they naturally also know the concepts of photons and electrons. She directly and generously talked about the principle of photovoltaics, borrowed charcoal pencils, and taught them while drawing.

A group of young men from the Imperial College listened with great interest, and their eyes changed from disbelief at first to shock and admiration later on when they looked at Lin Jin. They didn't expect that Lin Jin actually knew physics, and was so good at it. Before this, they always thought that this knowledge was probably discovered by Song Shiqiu, and he just wanted to give the credit to Lin Jin.

The title of Prime Minister's wife seems to be impressive, but they all know that this lady's family is not well-off. Even the promising Liu Zhengqing only relied on the Prime Minister's help. Without the identity of Prime Minister's wife, Lin Jin would still not be able to enter the eyes of the public.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so long since any lady had sent Lin Jin an invitation to have a small gathering to enjoy the scenery or something like that.

Even though there are occasional rumors about Lin Jin's talents, it is still hard to believe without seeing it with one's own eyes. As for the Taiyuan Prefecture group, everyone knows that Song Shiqiu has extraordinary powers. Who knows whether those so-called abilities are the work of Song Shiqiu?

Lin Jin reviewed all the knowledge points and when she turned around, she saw a group of young men with shining eyes. It was the look of someone seeing... prey?

Lin Jin wondered if she was overthinking or seeing things. It was totally impossible for her to have any hunting relationship with these people. She was definitely overthinking. She probably didn't sleep well these days and her eyes were blurry.

In fact, they had many more questions they wanted to ask Lin Jin, but when they saw Xi Tianrui's eyes, they could only stop talking tactfully and didn't dare to ask another question.

"The lamp has been installed, so I won't disturb you anymore." Lin Jin guessed that they would probably continue to study the solar lamp. After reminding them of what not to touch, he took them away.

Xi Tianrui gave the group of children a warning look, and sent Lin Jin away from the Imperial College. He did not forget to make up for the group of students: "They have been quite interested in physics recently, and this is the first time they have seen such a novel object, so it is inevitable that they may be a little out of control."

"It's okay. It's better to be lively at this age. If they are as mature as us, that would be a problem." Lin Jin thought it was normal. Fifteen or sixteen years old is the age of curiosity, and not everyone is mature. "I should be happy if they are willing to learn. If they don't want to learn, that would be troublesome."

It is still unknown how long it will take to popularize the subject of physics.

After physics, the next step is chemistry. With chemistry, many substances can be extracted, such as the most common antipyretic drug ibuprofen.

Seeing that she was not angry, Xi Tianrui also smiled and said, "You are right. These kids are at the age of being curious, but..."

"But what?" Lin Jin didn't understand why he looked so embarrassed. "Your Excellency might as well just say it."

"However, we haven't learned physics as thoroughly as you have. I wonder if you would be willing to come to the Imperial College to teach these boys?" Xi Tianrui knew that after what happened today, these people would definitely be convinced by Lin Jin. Even though Lin Jin was a woman, she was more than qualified to teach them.

Lin Jin didn't expect that she had this idea. She wanted to agree, but when she thought about the current situation, she refused him: "No, I still have to teach them at the Women's Academy. If I leave, what will happen to those girls?"

Xi Tianrui's eyebrows slightly frowned, and a faint "川" appeared on his face, as if hesitating: "Madam, I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"But it doesn't matter."

"I have also seen the knowledge of the girls in the Women's Academy. Their comprehension is far inferior to that of the boys in the Imperial College. You are not as good as..." Xi Tianrui paused appropriately and did not continue speaking, but they both understood what he meant.

Lin Jin's mouth twitched. She didn't expect Xi Tianrui to think like this: "Master Xi, I am also a woman. Their knowledge may not be as good as the boys in your Imperial College, but it does not mean that they have poor understanding. These young men in the Imperial College have been studying for many years."

There is no comparability at all. It's just individual deviation and has nothing to do with gender.

"How can you be the same as those girls?" Xi Tianrui disagreed with Lin Jin's statement. There were only a few women like Lin Jin in the world, but there were a lot of girls in the women's academy, and there was no difference between them.

"It's true that they are different. No one is the same as anyone else, but this is not the criterion for distinguishing between good and bad. Lord Xi, don't you think that you are too prejudiced against women?" Lin Jin smiled slightly and was not angry. She understood why Xi Tianrui had such views. These were all acquired from what he had seen and heard since childhood, but she did not agree with it.

Even though she had just brought up the subject of physics, the starting points for men and women were still different. In the past, the books that women read restricted them, but men were different. Although they had not studied physics systematically, the books that men studied contained relevant knowledge of physics.

Some women find this knowledge obscure and incomprehensible, but this is not the case in the eyes of men, because these men have been exposed to it for a long time.

"If this is what you think, I will never set foot in the Imperial College again." Lin Jin originally thought that this matter was not without room for negotiation, but if Xi Tianrui said so, there was really no way to negotiate.

She originally thought that perhaps boys and girls could take classes together as before. She would not abandon the women's academy and could also catch up with the progress of the Imperial College.
