0254 Late Ming Dynasty Scientists

Money, driving countless people crazy.

right, let countless people worship.

And when money + power, its power is enough to change the world, except that it can't change life and death, there is nothing they can't do.

With the strong support of Chongzhen's money and power, Xu Guangqi's career is in full swing, this guy is like a chicken blood, working day and night.

So much so that he almost burped, and later Chongzhen forced him to rest, otherwise this Daming Institute of Technology madman would have died a long time ago.

Xu Guangqi is so desperate, Daming's scientific research career can be said to be thriving, he built the Daming Academy of Sciences, gathered a large number of science and engineering maniacs such as Sun Yuanhua, Song Yingxing and so on.

These science and engineering maniacs get together every day to study and research, unlike the literati and writers, who love to visit a kiln every day and prostitute a famous prostitute or something, which is called romantic.

So Chongzhen especially likes these science and engineering maniacs, he runs to the Daming Academy of Sciences at two ends in three days, uh~ except for Sun Yuanhua, the bastard.

Sun Yuanhua is known as a bomb maniac, and this guy is also full of a group of crazy people who love bombs, and these crazy people love to specialize in bombs every day, so much so that they have killed several of their own people.

But so what?

Even if they are killed or maimed, they can't change their love for the bomb business!

Fortunately, Chongzhen has a lot of money, so that these sub-bomb maniacs can live a worry-free life, and their families have also been treated very well, so this is Chongzhen's favor, right?

It's a pity, because these sub-bomb maniacs have no worries, they are even more unscrupulous when they play with bombs, and they don't take their own lives seriously at all, and they don't take the lives of other people in the Academy of Sciences seriously, and even the Academy of Sciences has been blown up by them several times, which is simply a public outrage.

In the end, Chongzhen had to drive Sun Yuanhua and his disciples and grandchildren to the deep mountains and old forests, and sent eunuchs to keep an eye on them, and they restrained a little.

So there are no bombs in the Academy of Sciences today.

Led by Xu Guangqi, Chongzhen was visiting their new spinning machine, which resembles the symbol of the Western Industrial Revolution...... Jenny machine.

Xu Guangqi's new spinning machine is also placed vertically, and it can spin 80 threads at a time, which is equivalent to an 80-fold increase in efficiency.

And whether it is cotton, linen, or wool or something, you can use this new spinning machine to spin into thread, although the current new spinning machine spinning thread is still very thick, but enough.

This thing is the most suitable for spinning wool thread, and the spun wool thread can be used to make sweaters, and a lot of silver is coming?

With the silver, let's conduct follow-up research, and then we can make wool tweed, and the money is even greater.

Chongzhen looked at these new spinning machines, and then looked at Xu Guangqi and others, they are my Ming scientists, these people have haggard faces, all of them have dark dark circles under their eyes, and I don't know how many all-nighters they have to make this machine? It's not easy.

Although Chongzhen was a scientific scumbag before he crossed over, the people he respected the most were scientists.

What a pity!

It was these scientists who were most despised by the ancient literati and artists, and even though they promoted the development of human civilization, even though they changed the lives of countless people, the literati and artists still contemptuously called them craftsmen.

Tang and Song poems, how many of them describe these people? Literati and writers would rather spend a lot of time singing about prostitutes, describing resentful women in boudoirs, talented and beautiful women, etc., but they are not willing to spend a little more pen and ink for them.

But it is precisely these unknown so-called craftsmen who push the wheel of history.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty in history was already very powerful in science and technology, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best in the world, especially in shipbuilding, astronomy, medicine, mathematics, chemistry and agriculture.

The kings of the Ming Dynasty also attached great importance to scientific research, especially artillery, and Chongzhen still allocated money to invite Portuguese people to engage in artillery when he was extremely short of money.

As for other scientific research, it is also in full swing, and outstanding figures such as Xu Guangqi, Song Yingxing, Fang Yizhi, Sun Yunqiu, and Zhu Zaiyu have emerged.

As well as "Heavenly Creations", "The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration", "Physics Knowledge", "Algorithm Unification", "Plague Theory", "Mirror History", and other scientific masterpieces, it seems really incredible now!

At that time, there were so many scientific giants in China, so many scientific masterpieces, microscopes, and magnifying glasses that could be made, but they were lagging behind?

Originally, China had the opportunity to stand on top of the world, but unfortunately, it was all those aliens, these uncivilized wild monkeys, opportunistically won the world, and then closed themselves to the country and imprisoned scientific research, which plunged China into ignorance for more than 200 years.

So much so that when the foreigners' strong ships bombarded the ancient country, these wild monkeys thought it was witchcraft, and they actually tried to use the blood of black dogs and women to break it, and they were so ignorant and ignorant? The mouth of the foreign adult was smiling.

And then ......

A group of so-called new-style characters have emerged, most of whom are literati, and they blindly worship foreigners.

Learn what foreigners want to marry freely, carry out a vigorous movement to divorce old wives, new men to stay in the foreign world, new women to marry foreigners proud, China from top to bottom a foreign style, all the traditional clothing and culture are denied, called old-fashioned!

Phew, Chongzhen looked down on these so-called new-style characters before he crossed over, and he liked the scientists who contributed in obscurity even more.

It's just that scientists are more pragmatic, not like literati who can jump, today to make a lace news, tomorrow to make a romantic affair, come and go and have a reputation, called a master!

Phew's Master......

Now that God has descended on the Ming Dynasty, I will definitely let our Ming Dynasty's scientific research continue to flourish, so that the Ming Dynasty can once again stand on the top of the world, overlooking the small barbarian countries of the West.

By the way, and the Americas......

Chongzhen felt that this America should also be the Ming Dynasty, and I must not let the European hooligans occupy the Americas this time, and my scientists will definitely study strong ships and cannons to kill these dog hooligans.

Chongzhen has always wanted to open the sea, and the profit of the ocean is the greatest, but now the country is still very turbulent, and the silver he has in hand is not particularly large, which is not enough to support the ocean voyage, so he must get money first.

Chongzhen stroked the new spinning machine, just like stroking a gold ingot, the more he touched, the more he loved it!

Chongzhen was very satisfied with Xu Guangqi's research. He was ordered to make a copy of this new spinning machine and transport all of them to Xuanfu.

Now that the Xuanfu mutual market is vigorous, the wool is almost piled up, and if the wool is not consumed, I am afraid that the warehouse will be crowded.
