Chapter 168: Great Qin, a technological blowout
Recently, the rain in Xianyang has been falling non-stop, and it is not falling much, but it just doesn't stop. This rain seems to herald another harvest season in a few months.
Chen Ping, Zhao Que, and Gai Nie took care of the integrated intelligence agency, and Li Chen seemed to have a rare leisure. He has always been a lazy and self-aware person, Li Chen knows very well in his heart, whether it is IQ or emotional intelligence, he is difficult to compare with these people who have left their names in the annals of history. His strength lies in his insight and vast amount of knowledge, which is thousands of years ahead. So, he was always a strategist and not a tactician. Provide a general direction, and leave it to these Daqin trendsetters to improve and supplement.
In Lijiazhuang, Li Chen is holding a stack of books. That's right, he just returned from Earth space. Although there is an empty earth, the limitations of this plug-in to Li Chen seem to be very large, and he can only take out the moving things he can from the earth space at a time. As a result, there are far fewer options to choose from each time you enter Earth's space. Books represent the knowledge that the earth has accumulated over thousands of years, and it seems to be the most cost-effective option.
It has been said that human wisdom is endless. In previous lives, scientists have studied that the smartest person recorded on the earth is Albert Einstein, and Einstein's brain domain development is only about three percent. Therefore, everyone's potential is endless. Now, Li Chen fully agrees with this sentence.
Since the library in Lijiazhuang was opened to this group of private scientists, the scientific and technological level of the Damo Academy seems to have been plugged in by wings, and it has advanced by leaps and bounds. These people all signed a contract with Li Chen, and they were born as his Rong Lu Hou in this life, and they died as his Rong Lu Hou's dead people. Therefore, there is really no need to hide and tuck away the knowledge.
No, these scientists have been learning about the Big Bang ever since. It is no longer satisfied with the small work of improving farm tools and improving weapons. They began to do their own research based on the above records, and one by one they invented and created inventions that worked tirelessly all day long as if they had discovered a new continent.
Li Chen likes the atmosphere of the Damo Academy very much, and scientific research should be like this. These days, Li Chen is busy and watching these scientists tinker with rare things.
"Master Hou, you see, this is the arquebus I made based on the records in the book. It's just that the limitations of this arquebus are too great, the reload is too slow, and it can't be used in rainy, windy and sandy weather. The penetration of armor within 100 meters is greater than that of the Qin crossbow, but the starting range is far less than that of the Qin crossbow. The folk scientist, who studied muskets, pointed to the arquebus next to him, apparently not satisfied with the arquebus.
Arquebuses, and even flintlock pistols did not have an absolute advantage over Qin crossbows. This kind of musket, which requires front-loading and has no rifling, is difficult to compete with the Qin crossbow in terms of rate of fire and range. This is also the reason why Li Chen was equipped with artillery in the army for the first time but not with muskets.
"Technology needs to evolve from generation to generation, and what we can do is speed up the process." Li Chen patted the scientist on the shoulder and said kindly.
"Master Hou, don't worry, I will definitely research the breech gun as soon as possible." Hou Ye's identity actually patted me on the shoulder, and he was full of energy at this moment.
Walking out of this laboratory for studying muskets, Li Chen walked into a room next to him. Compared with the knocking next door, this Ke Ke is much quieter. Under the oil lamp, writing and drawing.
Obviously, he was so attentive that Li Chen walked behind him, and he didn't even notice it. Li Chen looked down at his desk, well, he was drawing. It's just that this big ship is a little familiar. ", aircraft carrier."
"Master Hou." Li Chen exclaimed in surprise and blinded the man.
"You, come on." Li Chen patted him on the shoulder as usual, and then walked out of the room.
For this science madman, Li Chen really didn't know what to say. "Brother, your steps are a bit big, it doesn't matter if you pull the eggs, I'm mainly afraid that the egg yolk will be pulled out for you."
"Master Hou, you see this is the leather glue I researched, and it can be used on the wheels to make the carriage and horses more labor-saving." A seventeen or eighteen-year-old man said, kicking something under his feet inside.
His invention is similar to a rubber tire, which costs a little more than rubber, but looks much better in quality. And rubber trees mainly grow in tropical South America, Daqin does not have them, Li Chen has seen a few in the earth's space, but this thing is too heavy for him to move, there is no way to get Daqin.
Looking at the young man in front of him who was younger than himself, Li Chen felt as if he had come to Daqin to make up the numbers.
"Hey, what is this?" Li Chen, who was about to go out, suddenly saw a figure lying under the table.
"Could it be that this kid is a scientist on the surface, but secretly he is a murderer." A raging Sherlock Holmes fire ignited in Li Chen's heart.
"Who is under the table, you can't enter outsiders in the Dharma Academy, don't you know?" Li Chen asked.
"Master Hou, under the table is my girlfriend, not a person." The young man said with a twist.
"I said that it was your girlfriend, and I said that I was not a person, and you couldn't be a fool for me." Li Chen's tone was a little angry.
The young man seemed to know that this matter would not be explained, and he was afraid that it would not work, so he dragged the figure under the table up: "Master Hou, look, this is my girlfriend, but she is really not a person." ”
&nb will play. Li Chen looked at the humanoid doll in front of him and exclaimed.
"Is this also a new use for developing leather glue?" The young man said with some indignation.
"Master Hou, look, steam engine."
"Master Hou, this is the top master of our Damo Academy, we are sure to build a steam engine within a year, and at most two years to make the steam train land." Da Niu said confidently.
Compared with the petty fights with others, Da Niu led the top team of the Damo Academy to conduct research on the steam engine. Once the steam engine lands, then the train and ironclad ship will inevitably be the biggest help for Daqin's Black Dragon Banner to be planted in the world.
After a day of shopping in this Damo Academy, muskets, leather glue, cement, hydraulic lathes and so on can be said to be technologically mature, these things can be mass-produced immediately as long as Li Chen wants.
Steam engines, internal combustion engines, radio ...... Although there are still technical barriers to these things for the time being, they cannot really be manufactured. But human wisdom is infinite, and barriers can be breached. It is foreseeable that these things may not become a reality in ten years, maybe twenty years, or even three or five years.
It can be expected that in the next 20 years, Daqin will inevitably be an era of technological blowouts. The yellow-skinned and black-glassed Qin people must be the best race on this planet. The Qin people, who have untied the shackles of knowledge, will inevitably give birth to their own Einstein and Edison.
Science and technology are the primary productive forces.
