"What's the good news?"

Zhao Heng's eyes lit up slightly and asked.

The good news that can make Xi so excited should not disappoint him.

"My lord, the steam engine has been developed!"

Xi said excitedly.

"The steam engine was developed? That's great! ”

Zhao Heng couldn't help but stand up abruptly when he heard this, and said in surprise.

From the day he crossed over, he had been obsessed with getting the steam engine out.

The steam engine is a kind of reciprocating power machinery that converts steam energy into mechanical work, simply put, it needs a boiler that can make water boil to produce high-pressure steam, and then use wood, coal and other combustibles as a heat source to cause the steam to expand continuously to push the piston to move.

It's a pity that due to the technical level of this era, coupled with only his theoretical guidance, the development process has been very slow.

Now, after more than three years of research, Daqin's first steam engine was finally born.

This also means that Daqin has successfully entered the industrial age.

The most important thing is that the development of the train can finally begin.

"Hey, you go back to Baiyucheng, tell the researchers of the steam unit, let them continue to improve the steam engine, and immediately start laying a railway from Baiyucheng to Xianyang, you stay there for the time being, presiding over the laying of rails and the development of trains."

Zhao Heng rubbed his hands with some excitement and said to Xi.

The steel mill in Baiyucheng, which has been refining steel day and night for three years, can finally come in handy.

It is believed that when the rails are successfully laid, the steam engine should be able to be improved to the second or even third generation, which is enough to provide kinetic energy for the train.

He wants to make the railway from Baiyucheng to Xianyang City successfully connected to the train within half a year.

At that time, the various resources of Baiyu City can be continuously sent to Xianyang in a short period of time.

Next, he will lay a nationwide railway, ensuring that he can reach any county in Daqin within three days.

There is a gallop road built by Yingzheng to lay the foundation, and it should not be difficult to do this.

"Yui!"

After saying yes, he walked out of the hall quickly.

For the tasks ordered by the lord, he will not give half a discount.

The lord asked him to return to Xianyang immediately, and he would not stay for a moment, and the lord asked him to preside over the laying of railroad tracks and the development of trains, then he would complete the task satisfactorily, and there would be no room for error.

"I just don't know when the generator will be developed."

Zhao Heng sat back in his chair and said secretly with some expectation.

To say that in this era, the most unaccustomed thing is that there is no electricity.

There are many things that cannot be done without electricity.

Dozens of small electric donkeys in the portable warehouse, as well as nearly 100 walkie-talkies, are waiting to be charged.

In addition, electrical appliances such as rice cookers, microwave ovens, and refrigerators must also have electricity in order to work.

What is certain is that once there is electricity, the development speed of Daqin will be at least several times faster, and it is not impossible to even directly enter the electric age.

If you can get a few more satellites into the sky, and then set up base stations across the country, TVs, mobile phones, these can naturally be used, it would be beautiful to think about.

When the time comes, do you want Ying Zheng to make a national report on TV?

Well, the big military parade must be indispensable, by the way, there is also the Spring Festival party for the New Year, which must also be arranged.

Thinking about it, Zhao Heng couldn't help but laugh, and smiled a little silly.

In fact, he actually knows very well, let alone satellites, even if it is to set up a base station, or even to get the first generation of black and white TV and big brother out, it is estimated that it will not be more than ten years, and it is impossible to do it.

After all, the science books he took out from his storehouse were all just basic knowledge, and at most they reached the level of physical chemistry in high school in later generations.

Unless there are all kinds of high-tech and complete technical information in the second and third layers of the portable warehouse, and even the finished black technology products, Zhao Heng can only fantasize about it in a short time.

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but wonder again, when would he be able to enter the second and third floors of this portable warehouse? Or, what conditions must be met for it to be open to him?

……

Time flies, a month's time, and before you know it, it has passed.

Today, the basic buildings such as teaching buildings, dormitory buildings, and canteens in ordinary campuses have basically been completed.

Next, it is the fine decoration and the enrollment of the whole Xianyang range.

And these two things, Zhao Heng naturally didn't plan to do it himself, and directly handed it over to Shuang to be responsible for presiding.

What he is most concerned about now is still the scientific research institute, and the building of the scientific research institute is also nearing the end at this time.

It is estimated that in three days at most, the scientific research institute will be officially listed.

After this month's deployment, the preliminary members of the scientific research institute have basically been allocated.

Zhao Heng temporarily divided the scientific research institute into six departments, the technical department, the security office, the logistics office, the manufacturing office, the management office, and the training office.

The president of the scientific research institute is naturally none other than him, who is responsible for all matters in the institute.

The security department is in charge of Wang Li, and there are 3,000 guards under his command, so I believe that the safety of the scientific research institute basically does not have to worry.

The heads of the other departments are all new talents deployed from Baiyu City.

After three years of training, the professional level of these new talents, although far from being comparable with the elites of later generations, is enough to be used at present, at least much better than those subordinate officials in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The Technology Department, composed of more than 20 scientific researchers from Baiyucheng, is responsible for conducting research on various science and technology, as well as improving and perfecting existing scientific research products.

The logistics department is naturally responsible for the livelihood of the scientific research institute, as well as the procurement and distribution of various materials.

The manufacturing department, simply put, is to turn the research results of all scientific researchers into real objects.

The management office is responsible for more miscellaneous aspects, such as personnel, finance, supervision and so on.

The training department is mainly responsible for selecting new talents with outstanding ability from ordinary campuses, and then training them to become junior scientific researchers.

In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of scientific researchers for research and development, Zhao Heng has formulated a complete incentive system, and also divided the professional title level for scientific researchers.

There are six levels in total: junior researcher, intermediate researcher, senior researcher, expert, engineer, and academician.

In terms of treatment, although the researcher cannot be directly knighted, he can get a lot of money, property, real estate and land.

The treatment of junior researchers is not lower than the title of hairpin, the title of intermediate researcher is not lower than that of the official doctor, the title of senior researcher is not lower than the title of the fifth doctor, the title of expert is not lower than the title of Zuo Geng, the title of engineer is not lower than that of the young master, and the title of academician is not lower than the title of the chief of the eldest uncle.

Even, if a researcher makes a great contribution, Zhao Heng will do his best to win a knighthood for him.

If it really doesn't work, when the Huns, Baiyue, and Peacock Dynasty are fought in the future, they will be sent directly to the front line to gild and mix military merits.

"Sir, I don't understand, what is this science?"

Outside the building of the scientific research institute, Ying Zheng asked Zhao Heng with a puzzled look.
