At the foot of the coal mountain, there is a vast Tiangong Research Institute, which extends eastward from here and occupies a large area of land, which was originally the territory of the Seal Ribbon Supervisor and the Imperial Horse Supervisor, but after the palace was restructured, the dismantling of these departments, the merger of mergers, all shrunk a lot, vacated these places, and just took advantage of them. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, the Tiangong Research Institute was very lively, countless craftsmen came in and out here, craftsmen from all walks of life, some were identifying various minerals and metals, defining them, and some were standardizing various technical processes and terms, such as shipbuilding, ironmaking, and so on.

Others are unifying weights and measures, collecting various folk measuring tools, and then re-standardizing, and creating the most primitive and standard model.

Coincidentally, Xu Guangqi's new first unit of length is also based on the meridian, but it is different from the parallel fraction of the meridian line for the length of the meter defined by the French in later generations, one meter is one forty million of the meridian, while Xu Guangqi takes one thirty millionth, and the second name is called Bu.

That's right, they just redefined the length of the next step, and then the defined step was almost more than one meter three, which was shorter than the one meter five estimated by Zhu Youxiao before.

However, as a modern person from later generations, he really can't accept the change of the unit of measurement, if it really changes, then he will soon become a number blind? Anyway, I also figured out the Latinized Chinese Pinyin, which made history a layer of mystery, and I didn't care about making a rice for no reason.

Therefore, when Xu Guangqi came with his own redefined step length plan with great interest, he was vetoed by His Majesty the Emperor, and then changed it, and even the decimeter centimeter, the cubic meter of volume, and the weight of one ton of water level per cubic meter were defined by His Majesty the Emperor.

Looking at the emperor with a satisfied face after the spit flew sideways, Xu Guangqi's resentment could almost break through the sky, if it was really possible, he really wanted to scold, since your old man already has an idea, why do you still let us toss around.

"Hehe, Xu Aiqing, if I intervene directly and don't let you test it yourself, how can you accumulate experience." This was the explanation given by the emperor after feeling his resentment.

Although no matter how you look at it, it seems like the emperor made excuses and excuses for himself, but don't say it, if you think about it carefully, it still makes sense. This kind of very reasonable excuse made Xu Guangqi speechless.

In this way, in the pain of Xu Guangqi, in the hands of Zhu Youxiao, intentionally or unintentionally, the weights and measures of the Ming Empire in this world gradually moved closer to the China of later generations.

As for the strange letters that resemble the Taixi script, they were gently uncovered by Zhu Youxiao's eclectic sentence, and in this world where there are no other time-travelers, this new standard of weights and measures has become the invention of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and has spread to the world with the expansion of the Ming Empire, becoming a means of cultural invasion.

"This is called giving back to others in the way of others!" In the Forbidden City, looking at those familiar units, a certain traverser was secretly having fun when he was fine.

The above three are the places with the largest number of people in the Tiangong Research Institute, but they are not the most important places at present, although these are the basis for the Tiangong Research Institute to resound in the world in the future, stand on the top of the world, and become a holy place of science, but obviously from the current point of view, these are not the most critical.

The real key point is the cutting-edge applied research led by Xu Guangqi. Before, there were only Xu Guangqi, Song Yingxing, Sun Yuanhua and a dozen middle-aged masters with strong receptivity, but then Li Zhizao, Gao Lao, Tang Ruowang, and Bo Fanji were added.

The most famous achievements here were the Apocalypse II smoothbore musket and the open-hearth steelmaking method that could be mass-produced. Well, that messy stove that has been modified is also an open hearth, and the energy production is considered a cross-era invention in this era of scientific deserts.

Today, both products are officially expanding, and open-hearth steelmaking and hydraulic forging and drilling machines are all being expanded aggressively. If a single production capacity is insufficient, it depends on the number of piles, compared to the number of people, Daming has never been afraid of anyone.

At this time, a new technology research was launched here - steel keel, and such a key technology is related to an epoch-making gunboat - the flying clipper gunboat, a kind of battleship that can almost retain the speed of the flying clipper, but has not weak firepower.

Moreover, if the steel keel is successfully launched, Zhu Youxiao's shipbuilding ability can immediately go to a higher level, and he will no longer have to climb for three years, and he will not be able to build a ship after the whole material is dry.

Even, the manufacture of this type of ship is also related to the improvement of the Galen ship, and even the improvement of the Fu ship. If a steel keel can be made, then a hard sail made of steel is no problem, and even a steel mast is possible. The steel keel is just a technology, but there are many things involved behind it.

It can really be said that it affects the whole body, and the key is extreme.

However, these really have nothing to do with Zhu Youxiao, those things in his head have long been hollowed out by Xu Guangqi, and a lot of the technical information in his computer has been turned into words and stored.

Other raw materials are added to the steel to increase strength and toughness and reduce weight.

Of course, although he can't help much, he is still happy to run here, anyway, he hasn't married a wife yet, he has time to run more, see a fresh, if he has a wife in three months, I'm afraid there will not be much chance to set foot here again.

In this way, in the atmosphere of scientific research, which Zhu Youxiao spent leisurely and experienced the envy of later generations, time passed, and he slid towards July 15 step by step.

On the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the Zhongyuan Festival of Taoism, the Yulan Festival of Buddhism, and the Ghost Festival in modern folklore, this is a very magical day, and Zhu Youxiao will preside over the Taoist Reform Conference on this day.

As the day approaches, more and more Taoist priests appear in the Beijing Division, these Taoist priests come from different sources, Longhu Mountain, Maoshan Mountain, Wudang Mountain, Qingcheng Mountain, all kinds of sects, all kinds of sources, at this time all put aside the past disputes, gathered in Beijing.

Even, there are some great monks who have heard the wind, they have also heard some news, and they have come to me with a smell.

The arrival of so many masters made the good men and women of Jingshi very happy, and they speculated one after another what was the reason for so many masters to flock to Jingshi.

For a time, many legends and stories spread among the people of the capital, and the entire Beijing Division, with the arrival of these people, became very noisy and stormy.

[Author's digression]: The feast said: Actually, I want to save some words, every time I interpret the data, I feel a little cheated on the number of words, of course, I don't want to think about these all the time, with modern plain and easy to understand.
