Six Eighty-One Flags and Flags Swing Wild and Block the Clouds (4)

The third year of Longjing was the 1653rd year of the Yeli calendar. The Inquisition of the Holy See was still executing heresy. Modern science was like a weak bud, swaying between truth and religion. At this time, no scientists were born, and the natural sciences of the whole world were driven by a few people.

For example, René Descartes won the first Sungai Award, but unfortunately he failed to receive the prize.

For example, Bryce Pascal. He was a young genius. He mastered Euclid's "The Origin of Geometry" at the age of twelve, and discovered the famous Pascal's hexagonal theorem at the age of sixteen; he wrote "The Theory of Conic Curves" at the age of seventeen - that was the greatest progress in the Theory of Conic Curves since ancient Greek Apollonios.

In 1642, Pascal designed and produced an addition and subtraction computing device that can carry automatically, which is called the world's first digital calculator, providing basic principles for future computer design. If Zhu Cixuan had not released the law of pressure for one year, the pressure units in later generations would have been named after his surname.

This genius had just passed the stage and was in his prime. Because he heard that Descartes won the Sungai Award, he learned about the Ming Dynasty, which was far away on the edge of the world.

For Pascal, who has always been weak and sick, it is really a desperate task to travel across the ocean to the far east. Fortunately, traditional Chinese medicine is the best at organizing. Zhu Youjian, the Tang king who invited Pascal to the Ming Dynasty, specially arranged two doctors as Pascal's health consultants to ensure his health on long-distance trips. It is precisely this kind of courtesy that made Pascal full of affection for the Ming Dynasty and was very willing to spread his research results in the Ming Dynasty. However, when he arrived at the Ming Dynasty, he moved into the visiting professor's courtyard arranged by Jingshi University, Pascal was exposed to the scientific achievements of the Ming Dynasty for the first time.

"These studies go further than me," Pascal said in response to calculus.

"I can only improve the water press in the Ming Dynasty. It's frustrating to think about it." Pascal was depressed for a while after reading the Ming Dynasty textbook.

However, he had a genius that ordinary people did not possess. After accepting the scientific system of the Ming Dynasty, he quickly showed the power of genius and invented mercury barometers one after another, making great achievements in gates, pistons, etc. Finally, he turned his attention to the study of cycloids and studied pendulum clocks with Christian Huygens to facilitate ships to navigate at sea to determine the longitude position.

Christian Huygens was a genius who was no less than Pascal. At the age of thirteen, he made a lathe by himself. Later, he made many achievements in mathematics, astronomy, physics, etc., and his research field was similar to Pascal. He was six years younger than Pascal and was also invited by the King of Tang. He went to the Ming Dynasty as one of the visiting professors of Jingshi University. Below these two geniuses, there are many European scholars and missionaries. Now that the entire European economy is in a post-war downturn, it is naturally a good choice to go to the East to earn high-purity silver. Especially the scientific strength shown by the Ming Dynasty is no less than that of Europe. From the introduction of the princes, it can be seen that the Ming Dynasty has no religious pressure and the academic environment is more relaxed than that of Europe.

The new ideas brought by these Europeans undoubtedly promoted the scientific development of the Ming Dynasty and became an opportunity for the formal establishment of the Imperial Ming Academy of Sciences.

In the early morning of the 12th day of the first lunar month of the fourth year of Longjing, the third son of the emperor was born.

It only took half an hour from being pushed into the delivery room to the end of the production, and it was extremely smooth. Therefore, the nickname of the third son of the emperor was called Jia Ge, and he was more loved by Duan than his two brothers.

The banquet to celebrate the birth of the third son was held on the evening of the same day. In addition to the civil and military officials in Beijing, there were also gentlemen from Jingshi University and Xinglin University - they made a lot of efforts.

During the meal, Zhu Cixuan met with two Thai scholars, Pascal and Huigens. At their suggestion, he took the lead in setting up a fixed academic society as a scientist to allow outstanding scientists from all over the world to participate. He helped each other and jointly promote the scientific progress of mankind.

Therefore, the establishment of the Huangming Academy of Sciences was officially put on the topic, and finally 18 chief scientists were selected, and the 18 chief scientists elected the chairman. Zhu Cixuan undoubtedly took on the position of chairman. Because considering the busy affairs, a secretariat was established to handle daily affairs.

Pascal is the only foreign academician among the eighteen chief scientists. Huygens was still young and did not have enough research results, so he was naturally defeated. However, he is still the youngest academician of the Academy of Sciences.

The new Academy of Sciences is located next door to Jingshi University, and it is also a place with beautiful mountains, rivers and scenery. This compound is only responsible for the gatherings and temporary residences of academicians of the Academy of Sciences, while the research institution borrows the laboratory and experimental field of Jingshi University.

As a courtesy, the current highest-end technical product of the Ming Dynasty was also open to them. However, in actual application, some of them are the commercial secrets of each company. Only a few researchers can know it with the help of the power of the court and will not be made public.

The current steam engine is not an era two years ago, and anyone can imitate the principles as long as they know them. Even if Europeans know various data indicators, they cannot be manufactured with their craftsmanship.

Huiyuan Bo Liao Zhen is also one of the eighteen chief scientists. He no longer participates in the gravel and road construction industry of Liao's family. Instead, he leads his disciples, students, nephews from the clan to specialize in steam engines, and manufactures new models with more abundant power, higher energy utilization and lighter mass.

Now his research has been ahead of Jingshi University, like a powerful general in the field of science.

This also led to Zhu Ciyang's investment in Royal Capital not only for the sake of high profits, but also for the protection of such high-tech enterprises.

It was Liao Zhen and his "Imperial Ming Power" that made the spring plowing in the fourth year of Longjing a cross-age product such as a "plowing machine".

In the spring season in North China, it is also the busy farming season. Under the attention of His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor, Wutai huge plowing machines generate fire and accumulate heat, making a roar in the rolling smoke, dragging heavy iron teeth, breaking through the soil, and pulling out waves of soil straight.

All the people watching were ecstatic, especially when they found that there were two women on the plowing machine, one holding the steering wheel and the other shoveling coal into the furnace with a shovel, which was even more surprising. This means that women can also undertake heavy farm work in the future, allowing men to do more money-making work.

"Why don't you wrap that stove? Isn't it a waste of coal when exposed like this?" Chongzhen pointed to the stove exposed outside.

The design of this plower is more like an old locomotive, and the furnace chamber is exposed to the outside to dissipate heat and avoid the operators being troubled by high temperatures.

Before Zhu Ciyang could answer, the onlookers suddenly gave out a cheer. It turned out that the plowing machine had turned a big turn and plowed back from the other end. Who wouldn't be excited to see that the workload he had been busy for half a day was completed so easily?

Chongzhen quickly threw away the technical problems and exclaimed: "If there were such machines in Daming villages, wouldn't it be difficult to save time during the busy farming period?"

"This machine is so good at consuming water and eating coal. It is really inconvenient to use it in places where there is no coal production." Zhu Cilang said: "My son wanted to use him in Liaoning and Haixi. The land there is wide and it is also a coal-producing place, which is just reclaimed as a large granary."

Zhu Cixuan knew another passionate story of developing the Great Northern Wilderness in time and space. In that story, the young Republic mobilized 100,000 troops to reclaim the Great Northern Wilderness. Although it had a sign of "mechanization", the country at that time was poor and deserted, and there was nothing to do with tractors and cars. The thatched huts that the army reclaimed was not as good as the barracks of the current Ming army. It would still turn the Northeast into an important grain-producing area in China?

Although there are not many plowing machines now, the population of Ming Dynasty is only 130 million. There are also grain supply areas such as Huguang, Annan, and Siam. The demand for grain in the Northeast is not urgent, so you can take it slowly.

The birth of the plowing machine occupied the vast area of ​​the Huangming Newspaper and the northern newspapers.

These newspapers were only spread to Yongming County, Mowenhe Prefecture, Haixi Governor, Mowenhe Prefecture, a month later. However, the young man holding the newspaper skipped the relevant reports without blinking and quickly flipped through the page. He did not read them carefully until he saw a report as big as a piece of dried tofu.

This is an article reproduced from a Jiangnan newspaper. The general meaning is that Wulin University discovered a pharmaceutical folk remedy from a temple in Changzhou. Research shows that the agent produced by this method does have better therapeutic effects than other medicinal materials.

Specifically, the monks in the temple scraped the penicillium grown from the fruit into rice juice, mixed taro juice, sealed it and buried it underground, and took it out for several years. This juice was used to use it to patients infected with the golden sores, and the curative effect was unexpectedly good. Because it was difficult to prepare, this medicine was also called Guanyin Lu. According to the monks, it was the power of Guanyin Master to be born.

However, the contemporary Ming Dynasty already had the concept of bacteria and had long had the philosophical idea of ​​the generation and restraint of all things. Naturally, it would not believe that it was the magic power of Guanyin Master. Otherwise, the Master would have to breathe, so why would he have to be buried in the soil for several years?

So Wulin University imitated this medicine, but it was not buried in the soil, but it was constant temperature, increasing the concentration of rice juice and taro juice. Finally, it was found that the medicine juice could work closely with Penicillium. Simple rice juice and taro juice did not have medicinal effect. Therefore, this newly discovered medicine was called "penicillium agent". Although the yield was very small, the effect was amazingly good.

"In this way, the army in Xiding America will be even more powerful." Yang Wei closed the newspaper in his hand and walked out of his vocational house.

He has now taken over the captain's Xinghui, who is affiliated with the Korean Division of the Far Eastern Front, and serves as assistant chief of staff of the division. This time he came to Yongming City to contact the tank division, which also belongs to the Far Eastern Front, and agreed on the defense zone and communication password.
