Chapter VII Scientific Research Process

The focus is on these details, the vertical spinning spindle is large, small, insufficient clearance and other problems, will affect the efficiency of Jenny's spinning machine.

What Zhu Shun has to do now is to finalize these details that affect the efficiency and quality of Jenny's spinning machine through data calculation, which is the basic process of scientific research.

First, a theoretical model is designed, and then it is calculated over and over again.

Until the calculus is basically correct, the experiment is finally carried out.

Zhu Shun couldn't afford to buy paper at home, so he could only write and draw on the wooden board, and after calculating for most of the day, he had just determined the size of the vertical spindle when a person walked in outside the door.

In order to save money for his son's marriage, Zhu Shun's father would take advantage of this time to go to some private kilns to do private work every time the official kiln was on holiday.

It's a little hard, but I can't be happier to think that every extra day of work can save a little more money for my son to get married.

There were only two people left in the family, Zhu Shun and his mother, worried that the squire would bring someone over to make trouble, so Zhu Shun immediately picked up a wooden stick.

Turning around, he saw that it was Ambassador Zhang who came over, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Why does Uncle Zhang have time to come to me today." ”

Ambassador Zhang searched for a long time but couldn't find a place to sit in the dilapidated courtyard, so he could only stand: "Haha, you kid is a big celebrity now." ”

"The rifled gun invented has already stirred up the entire court, and even many people in the market know your name."

Zhu Shun didn't understand what Ambassador Zhang meant, the invention of rifled guns could indeed alarm the upper echelons of the Ming Dynasty, but how could it disrupt the court.

This is just an invention, not a gold mine, in order to share the benefits of the gold mine, those corrupt officials desperately want to stuff their own people into it.

Ambassador Zhang also did not expect that an invention that could bring changes to the Ming Dynasty would be opposed by the Donglin Party, so he told Zhu Shun in detail what happened in the early dynasty.

Zhu Shun knew the ins and outs of this matter, first of all, he was angry, not angry that the Donglin Party people were blocking his path to becoming a full-fledged official.

It is angry at these moths and cut off the hope of rejuvenating the country through science and technology, which is not harmful to the Ming Dynasty, but has endangered the rise of the Chinese nation.

You must know that the Royal Society will soon be established in England, and it will try to improve the status of scientists, even comparable to the nobility of the Ying Kingdom.

Just a few decades after the founding of the Royal Society, the famous scientist Newton died, and the nobles regarded it as the greatest honor to be able to carry Newton's coffin.

Who was Newton's coffin bearer?

Lord Chancellor and President of the House of Lords, two dukes and three earls.

It is precisely because of the continuous improvement of the status of scientists that a large number of talents have been invested in scientific research, and after hundreds of years of accumulation, there has finally been a blowout of scientific and technological talents, triggering the first industrial revolution.

If it is in China, where does the scientist have any status, Shinong industry and commerce, not as high as Shinong, nor businessman has money, and it is really the lowest level of society.

Zhu Shun knew that he had come to the Ming Dynasty, and one of the things he wanted to do most was to change the social structure of ancient China and continuously improve the status of scientists.

As long as the status of scientists is raised to the level of Yingguo, no matter which Han Chinese are in power in the future, scientists will no longer be regarded as craftsmen at the bottom of society, but as the hope of the country's rise.

At that time, no one will be able to stop the rise of the Chinese nation.

With the help of his knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry, Zhu Shun triggered the first industrial revolution in Daming in advance, and he was able to realize his biggest dream.

Science and technology have always been ahead of Europe and the United States for 50 years.

The meal has to be eaten in one bite, and the road has to be walked step by step, as for how to realize this great ideal, Zhu Shun already has a plan, but he has to figure it out slowly.

Zhu Shun put down the wooden stick in his hand, remembered something, and suddenly said: "Can this person who participated in the competition be replaced by my second uncle." ”

Hearing Zhu Shun's request, Ambassador Zhang was a little embarrassed, after all, this matter is not only related to whether Zhu Shun can serve as the head of Wang Gongchang.

It is also related to the future status of the West French in the court, if they are severely suppressed by the Donglin Party this time, the West French will never be able to turn over in the future.

It's not about power, it's about whether or not you can use Western Law to save the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Shun's next sentence dispelled Ambassador Zhang's concerns: "My second uncle used to be a sergeant at Shanhaiguan. ”

Not only did it dispel Ambassador Zhang's concerns, but it also made him more confident of victory, which was a brave border army that often fought with the Jurchens at the border pass.

Ambassador Zhang laughed: "We originally wanted to find a border soldier, but unfortunately they are too young. ”

"After all, there are often wars in Shanhaiguan, and there are too few veterans who can survive in the sea of corpses and bones, so I didn't expect to meet them here."

"It's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, it doesn't take any effort to get it, and the official will go to report the good news to Xu Shilang now."

Ambassador Zhang left here in a hurry, and Zhu Shun also went to the second uncle's house next door, and the second uncle was practicing a few children at home.

Zhu Shun's family lived in an earthen house, and the second and third uncle's families were even poorer, with only a few thatched huts that leaked.

The second uncle saw Zhu Shun coming, with a dark face and a grin.

Zhu Shun walked under the jujube tree, whispered something to the second uncle, and left here, going back to continue calculating the details of Jenny's loom.

Zhu Shun kept his head stuffy and built Jenny's textile machine at home, not knowing that this party struggle was intensifying and setting off a bigger storm.

The richest in the capital is the Jin merchants, the arms business is always the most profitable, the Jin merchants have been smuggling weapons and grain to the Jurchens over the years, and they have made a fortune that rivals the country.

Jin Shang, who has a sensitive sense of smell, how could he let go of this good opportunity to make a lot of money, so he opened a gamble in the capital.

This competition was originally decided to be won or lost in one game, but the Jin merchants colluded with the Donglin Party to change it to a best-of-three game, which greatly enhanced the flexibility of the gambling game.

Bird Gun won all three games, one to five.

Bird's gun has two wins and one loss, one to one.

There is also a rifled gun that is purely open and playing, whether it is a full win, or two wins and one loss, as long as it wins, it will be ten to one.

On the chessboard street in the capital, there is a four-entry mansion.

The middle-aged Jin businessman, who took the lead in organizing this gamble, looked at the white silver in the cellar, poured out the snuff from the Doucai snuffbox, put it on his nose and took a deep breath.

The middle-aged Jin merchant's surname is Huang, and he is a famous cotton yarn businessman in the Jin merchants, looking at so much silver, he almost didn't treat Zhu Shun as the God of Wealth.

If Zhu Shun was here, Jin Shang surnamed Huang would definitely hug Zhu Shun and kiss the two fiercely.

Jin Shang, surnamed Huang, saw that there was a stick of incense, and he was addicted, locked the three-story iron door of the cellar, and walked out.

A steward came in front of him, and the steward was still holding a few contracts in his hand: "Master, Xu Guangqi, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and Bi Maokang, the right attendant of the Ministry of War, have also bet." ”

Jin Shang, surnamed Huang, took the contract in the steward's hand, glanced at it, and couldn't help but be shocked by the numbers on it: "Aren't these West French people all poor, why did they bet so much." ”
