Scientific development has never been achieved overnight, even if Emperor Chongzhen is already half a golden finger.

Emperor Chongzhen pointed out that the steam engine is the main scientific development in the future, and then part of the energy should be allocated to the research and development of the internal combustion engine.

Emperor Chongzhen pointed out that electric energy is a treasure given to the world by God, and it must be studied and studied how to use it.

Emperor Chongzhen pointed out that there are no gods and Buddhas in the sky, because this starry sky is also a gift from God to mankind, and the gods are all in another plane, with spatial barriers, and mortals cannot pass through.

However, all this is useless, except for Zhang Xianyong's more pious cultivation, in the hope of one day being able to sanctify his body and cross the spatial barrier, the biggest change left may be the impact on the Ming soldiers.

For the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, if they follow the true destiny of Emperor Chongzhen, if they fall behind a military merit or something, even if they can't be a heavenly soldier after death, they must at least have an errand in the underworld, so that they can take care of their descendants, right?

Perhaps in another aspect, it has also infinitely enhanced the cohesion of the people of the Ming Dynasty, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy.

As for the Royal Academy, Emperor Chongzhen is already eager to pull out the seedlings to help them grow, and it is best to get a few engineering dogs to cross over.

Without him, the Royal Academy's research on weapons is still on the top, and the appearance of the all-metal cartridge case of the rifle is almost a major subversion of the original way of warfare, and even the Governor's Office, which has been pondering all-firearms operations, has to study new tactics with it.

In other respects, however, it can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

The steam engine is still good, even if there is no urging from Emperor Chongzhen, the strong demand of the people from the bottom up is forcing the Ministry of Railways to make faster and more stable trains.

Naturally, the Ministry of Railways did not have the strength to study steam locomotives, and even if it had the strength, it could not resist the huge cost of building a railway, so it naturally pushed the problem to the Royal Academy.

was annoyed by the Ministry of Railways, and couldn't directly kill the people from the Ministry of Railways, so the Royal Academy naturally devoted more energy to the research and development of steam locomotives.

Then the internal combustion engine and electricity became the mother's raising,

Of course, the standard of this stepmother is compared with the investment of the entire Royal Academy in various projects, if you let those private capital look at it, this stepmother's fingers are exposed casually A little bit is enough to eat.

The internal combustion engine has not moved for a long time, which Emperor Chongzhen is not in a hurry, anyway, it is basically impossible to drive a car before Chongzhen fifty years ago, from the harem to the court to the people, they will also oppose driving themselves.

They will even object to getting into a car - just like if they can go up when the ironclad is docked in port, and if they want to sail on the ironclad, they will be opposed by a large number of people.

As for electricity, it's even harder.

People in the Ming Dynasty may not be able to imagine how widely used electricity was in later generations, and after having seen the various wonderful uses of electricity, it is basically impossible to say that Emperor Chongzhen did not pay attention to the study of electricity.

The problem is that Emperor Chongzhen himself is also a novice in science and engineering, and there is basically nothing left except for the concept of winding - come to Taiwan in advance, Emperor Chongzhen can make up N more programs, but how can there be computers in the Ming Dynasty?

After staying in the harem for a few days, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but run to the Royal Academy again, and the target was still a light bulb.

The light bulb is definitely a good thing, and it would be very useful to install it on a steam locomotive first, even on a horse-drawn carriage.

Leaving aside the kind of changes that horse-drawn carriages would bring to the people at night, the military usefulness alone was great—the reason why the army rarely marched at night in ancient times or did not march at all was due to the backwardness of lighting means and the existence of night blindness.

Night blindness was no longer a problem for Da Ming at this time, and with the increase in food production, more people could already afford to eat meat, not to mention the soldiers in the guard.

Without a lack of nutrition, there is basically no soil for night blindness, except for a very few congenital night blindness.

The most critical problem is the backwardness of night lighting methods.

It's not impossible to march by torches, but the limitations of the torch thing are too great, even if you are afraid of rainy weather, a large number of soldiers carry torches to advance, even if you force the march at night, how much combat power can you have left after arriving at the place?

With electric light, it's completely different.

The capacity of the battery can be slowly increased, and some of the cattle in the Royal Academy will slowly increase the capacity of the battery, even if it can't last too long, bring a batch of reserve head offices, right?

Especially after the household appliance such as a flashlight is applied to the army, it has many benefits.

Song Yingxing was not surprised by the arrival of Emperor Chongzhen, but after a simple greeting with Emperor Chongzhen, he plunged into the laboratory again and pondered the problem of the light bulb.

In front of the large number of light bulbs that were swinging open, there were small signs indicating what material the bulb used as the filament and when it was lit.

After half an hour, the light bulb began to go out, and Song Yingxing also put a cross on the corresponding brand, which meant that this material was not enough to be used as a filament.

It wasn't until the sun went down again that the last light bulb that was still on flickered a few times and finally went out.

Song Yingxing sighed, and after cleaning up the things on the experimental table, he bowed to Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, the longest time to experiment at the moment is only four hours, and if you want to find a durable material as a filament, I am afraid it will take a long time." ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said with a smile: "Slow experimentation is, this kind of experiment itself is unknown, what I have is patience, Song Aiqing should not be in a hurry."

However, I came today to discuss with Song Aiqing what would happen if I replaced the simple metal wire with an alloy? For example, what about using black wire, mixing silver or copper, and then testing?

Can all kinds of metals be mixed together like lead and tin, or copper and lead? If so, what would their characteristics be? ”

Xu Guangqi was suddenly a little depressed: "Your Majesty, there are thousands of materials in the world, if you carry out synthetic experiments on various materials separately, and find out their characteristics, not only will it take a long time to prolong, but even the cost is a big problem?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "Ten million runs!" The Royal Academy has set up a separate branch for materials research, and I have set aside 10 million yuan a year for the research of various materials.

If this matter can be successful, if other colleges want to use any new materials in the future, they just need to find it according to the map, and then get the formula from the materials college. ”

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen knew that this kind of basic science was expensive, and it was particularly difficult to see the results, and he didn't see that the commercialized groups and sciences in later generations were playing applied science instead of basic science.

As for this kind of basic science, only the state will be willing to keep throwing money, and it is a persistent money every year, because it is difficult to see results in this kind of basic science, and the cost is too large for ordinary people to afford.

The cost problem is naturally not a problem for Emperor Chongzhen, the gold and silver that Shaofu transports into the interior every year add up to tens of thousands of taels, and Emperor Chongzhen naturally does not want to watch these gold and silver grow hair in the treasury.

If the money is spent and circulated in the market and the overall economy, it can be called money, or it is a pile of dead things or a pile of waste paper, and there is no use for fart.

Since Emperor Chongzhen wants to be the leader of this injustice, Song Yingxing naturally has no reason to refuse, anyway, regardless of whether the court is still a royal academy, he knows that Emperor Chongzhen's internal wealth is so rich.

After thinking about it, Song Yingxing still bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, do those overseas barbarians have any new materials?" Or can you get some materials from over there? ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled: "Do they have any new materials, you have to ask the people of Jinyiwei, I really don't know." But Song Aiqing can rest assured, I turned around and instructed Wang Guoxing's Jinyi guard to explore and buy for you overseas, no matter what the materials are, can I get a copy for Song Aiqing? ”

Song Yingxing was suddenly overjoyed and thanked Emperor Chongzhen again.

After receiving Song Yingxing's salute with a smile, Emperor Chongzhen was about to tell Wang Chengen to prepare to sleep in the Royal Academy, but Wang Guoxing hurried to the Royal Academy.

Although he didn't know what Wang Guoxing was running to, Emperor Chongzhen still pointed at Wang Guoxing with a smile and said to Song Yingxing: "No, just mentioned him Wang Guoxing, he really came here." ”

After casually telling Wang Guoxing about the conditions he had just promised Song Yingxing, Emperor Chongzhen asked, "What's wrong?" What's going on? ”

Wang Guoxing took out a piece of music from his arms and handed it to Wang Chengen, and then bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, it's news from the Wa Kingdom." ”

Emperor Chongzhen was suddenly surprised.

Originally, it was planned to let the Wa State carry countless black cauldrons of slave labor to death for the Ming Dynasty, so Chongzhen "imported" a large number of Japanese slaves from the Wa State as overseers, plus Masahito and Tokugawa Iemitsu These two guys are indeed good people, so Emperor Chongzhen did not rush to kill the Wa State.

Now these dwarves actually took the initiative to jump out and do something?

After taking the concert and looking at it a few times, Emperor Chongzhen squinted his eyes, closed the concert with a snort, and sneered: "Go, go back to the palace." ”

The double-flowered red sticks on both sides of the civil and military, Lu Xiangsheng and Zhang Zhiji were soon carried to the palace to see the saint.

After also reading the recital, Zhang Zhiji's eyes couldn't help but narrow: "The smoke of the Wa Kingdom is actually a lot of benefits for my Daming, so I don't have to worry about them, right?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng also bowed down and said: "The Japanese civil strife, Masahito and Tokugawa Iemitsu began to purge those daimyo under the banner of the King of Light after the Su Goose Palace, which originally had nothing to do with my Ming Dynasty, but Weichen was worried that it would affect the people along the coast."

Zhang Zhiji laughed and said: "Although Lu Ge Lao can rest assured, there are only some Japanese slaves, no matter how they toss, as long as they dare to come to my Daming coastal area to make trouble, no matter how much it is, it is guaranteed that there will be no left." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "They may not dare to come to the ports and towns along the coast of my Daming Dynasty to make trouble, but what if they make trouble at sea?

Those ronin warriors who have lost their masters already have no status, and after becoming a widow, they have been demoted to a higher rank, what else do they have to fear?

If they don't care about the life and death of the Japanese kingdom, as long as they keep harassing our Ming merchant ships at sea, what will they do? Do you still need to equip the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty with weapons? ”

Zhang Zhiji shook his head and said, "That's not true." To put it bluntly, they are still pirates, and the best way to deal with pirates is to let another pirate deal with them.

For example, Li Qizi's department, who is now fighting the autumn wind on the Mughal and Ottoman sides, is a pirate, and they have fought with the Japanese many times before, let them deal with those Japanese invaders, and the court does not have to spend a single soldier, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”

Lu Xiangsheng suddenly sneered and said, "Grandpa Zhang, you only remember their identity as pirates, but you forgot that they are also the people of the Ming Dynasty, right?" You let these innocent Ming people face the Japanese invaders, how can you bear it? ”

Zhang Zhiji never thought that Lu Xiangsheng would dare to talk nonsense with his eyes open in front of Emperor Chongzhen - Li Qizi's gang of pirates is innocent?

Pull it down, if it weren't for Jinyiwei's grandson who had all their case records erased, one of these pirates would have been killed a long time ago, and they would still be pirates in the open sea in the name of a merchant ship as they are now?

As a regular army, Zhang Zhiji has always had a prejudice against supernumerary troops like Li Qizi, who were transferred from pirates, even if these pirates have never harmed the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Zhiji was about to open his mouth to refute Lu Xiangsheng's words again, but Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said: "It's far away, as long as there is civil strife in the Japanese Kingdom now, it is not clear what the specific chaos will become."

As for the problem of the Japanese invaders, it will be left to the East China Sea Fleet to solve, and that side is their defense area, and try not to involve civilian merchant ships.

I am calling you here now because I also want to discuss with you, how to deal with the civil strife in the Japanese Kingdom is the most beneficial to my Ming Dynasty? ”

Zhang Zhiji immediately bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the best way to deal with the civil strife is to ignore them and let them mess around, and I, Daming, also happened to sell them some arms from it."

In addition, I can also get some more overseers from the Wa Kingdom to monitor those barbarian laborers for me. ”

After brushing his beard, Zhang Zhiji pondered and said, "It's just that there is still a difficult thing here, which is really not easy to do?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen suddenly sighed and said, "The British public is referring to Princess Liao's side?" ”
