Chapter 1123: The pain of Tian Ping's life
The Royal Institute of Technology, which has been developing for many years, has already become the base of scientific research in the Tang Empire, where there are textbooks compiled by Li Xuan himself and educational plans formulated.
Because of the restrictions of the times, the education and scientific research of the Royal Institute of Technology are somewhat deformed, Li Xuan told them a lot of mathematical formulas, told them that there are atoms and neutrons in the world, and also told them some other chemical knowledge.
But these are some superficial knowledge, so the teachers and students of the Royal Institute of Technology know and can skillfully use many mathematical formulas, many physical phenomena, but if you ask them to demonstrate these phenomena in detail, it is unlikely.
Put simply, they know some of the results, but they don't know what causes them.
So for so many years, in fact, many of the scientific research projects of the Royal Institute of Technology are actually copying, demonstrating those things that have been said by Li Xuan.
Because you only know the result and don't know the process, it's really useless!
It's basically like you know that the atomic bomb is powerful, but you don't know how the atomic bomb was made.
In recent years, Li Xuan has almost copied a lot of scientific knowledge in his head, but in his mind, he is just an ordinary person, if you let him play with the system, engage in the organizational structure, and the personnel system is okay, if you ask him to write down the formula and manufacturing process of a certain alloy, it will be pure nonsense.
Many times, he can only tell the teachers and students of the Royal Institute of Technology that the simple structure of something is useful and useful, but how to create it under the current level of science and technology requires the teachers and students of the Royal Institute of Technology to work their own.
The steam engine is the most obvious example, the principle Li Xuan has long told them, and even the direction of improvement is very clear to tell them, first take the road of low-pressure steam engine, then take the road of high-pressure steam engine, and then improve the efficiency of steam utilization, the specific application has long been said, it can be used as industrial power, but also can be used as the power of transportation, moving on the ship can push the ship to move, and the loading car can pull the car to travel.
But the principle is there, and the application direction is also there, but how to achieve it?
Turning a low-pressure steam engine into a high-pressure steam engine, in fact, there is no need for Li Xuan to remind them, those teachers and students who study steam engines can calculate mathematically, and conclude that the greater the steam pressure, the greater the power.
However, the requirements for materials and manufacturing processes of high-pressure steam engines are too high, and they cannot be built alive or dead!
What can be done about this!
Otherwise, in the past few years, the Royal Institute of Technology would not have always only patched up the low-pressure steam engine, instead of engaging in high-pressure steam engines.
The steam engine is just a microcosm of the scientific research and development carried out by the Royal Institute of Technology, in fact, many projects have similar problems!
They know the principle, they even have detailed design drawings, but they can't build it!
Well, by the way, the later generations of Huaxia are almost like this, even if the Yankees give us the F119 engine drawings used in the F35 as they are, and then teach us how to build them by hand, we can't build them, because we don't have the raw materials to make this thing, and we don't have the equipment needed for processing......
This thing is the flower of industry, and the basic materials and processing technology are the core!
Only give you a finished product drawing, not give you a material and processing technology to use.
If you really want to make these things, you need a complete industrial system that can support them, not just a set of finished product design drawings.
For the sixteenth century, the steam engine was a veritable flower of industry, although this thing seemed to the later generations to be extremely simple, but the various technologies designed in it also required a corresponding industrial base to be built.
Not to mention the rest, light is a material that can withstand high-pressure steam, and now the Tang Empire is temporarily gone!
Otherwise, the Royal Institute of Technology spends hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for Mao every year on the research and development of various basic materials!
The scientific research in the Royal Institute of Technology is so deformed, but the task is so heavy, it can be said that the Royal Institute of Technology independently undertook the important task of promoting the progress of science and technology in the empire, and in this environment, the requirements of the Royal Institute of Technology for teachers and students are also very perverted.
Those who can be admitted to the Royal Institute of Technology are all geniuses, and those who can successfully graduate from the Royal Institute of Technology and finally stay in the school to teach, they are all geniuses among geniuses!
There is no other reason, in such a simple and deformed scientific research environment, whether it is learning or scientific research, it is actually very dependent on IQ!
Only a true genius can learn and master advanced knowledge from Li Xuan's words, and then apply it practically.
This makes it difficult to get into the Royal Institute of Technology, but even more difficult to graduate successfully.
The Royal Institute of Technology admits about 100 students every year, but the students who successfully graduate every year, that is to say, are not allowed, and there are only thirteen people who successfully graduate this year and stay on to teach!
And the rest of the people were basically discouraged from their freshman to senior years!
No way, although the Royal Institute of Technology has a lot of money, it also spends a lot of money, and the funds required to train a scientist are huge, especially when senior students conduct various experiments, it is like spending money!
According to the internal statistics of the Academic Affairs Office of the Royal Institute of Technology, the Department of Chemistry of the Royal Institute of Technology has trained a total of 26 graduates in the past so many years, and over the years, the expenditure of the Department of Chemistry is 3.3 million taels of silver, that is to say, for each graduate of the Department of Chemistry, the average cost is more than 120,000 taels of silver!
Yes, you read that right, it is twelve taels of silver, not one hundred and twenty taels, nor one thousand two hundred taels, but more than twelve thousand taels of silver!
And that's just a chemistry department at the Royal Institute of Technology!
At present, the Royal Institute of Technology has a total of ten departments, including mathematics, physics, chemistry, mechanics, astronomy, geology, navigation, medicine, agriculture and forestry, and economics.
Among them, the three major departments of physics, chemistry, and mechanics are all big money-burners, and at the same time, they are also the most competitive departments, not real geniuses, they will never be able to mix, and the other departments are a little better, but the pressure is also numerous.
Tian Ping's admission to the Department of Economics was quite good, because at the time of the entrance examination, the Department of Economics was the least competitive department, and comparatively speaking, those who were really confident geniuses would apply for the Department of Science, rather than the Department of Economics, which was biased towards theory.
However, even so, Tian Ping, a genius, failed to persevere, and mixed up for six years, let alone graduate, and even did not get up in his senior year, and was finally forced to quit.
Even if he, a graduate of the Royal Institute of Technology, is already very awesome in the eyes of others, he has just been persuaded to retire, and there are a lot of people outside rushing to ask for him.
The people from the Ministry of Commerce found him and said that as long as he went to the Ministry of Commerce, he would start with the sixth grade, and he would be in Gyeonggi without going to the local post, and he would definitely be able to rise to the fourth rank within three years.
The people from the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises also found him, saying that there are many enterprises under the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, and he can choose whatever he chooses, no matter where he goes, the worst is a department manager, and after a few years, there is no problem at all with the number one leader of a large enterprise in the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises.
As for the big businessmen of the people, not to mention, people and the official compete for talents, and the others are unreliable, so they can only use money to smash, at that time, those big businessmen who came to win him over, they all came directly to the door with the bank check of the Royal Bank, as long as he agreed, he could immediately get a large number of thousands of taels of silver or even tens of thousands of taels of silver for the signing fee.
However, Tian Ping finally chose the solicitation of the Imperial Assets Division!
To be an official, to be honest, this is not what Tian Ping wants, if he wants to be an official, he will not go to the Royal Institute of Technology back then, but will go directly to participate in the imperial examination, with his intelligence, a doctor is a matter of minutes.
Besides, although he was persuaded to retire, he still retains the treatment of the sixth grade, the students and teachers of the Royal Institute of Technology, that are all graded, and the grade is not low, although this grade only has treatment and no real power, and the grade is different from the grade of ordinary officials.
Even if he was persuaded to retire, his grade treatment was still retained!
Even if he doesn't do anything, he can still receive a monthly salary, and locally, his status is enough to be on par with a county order.
Since he has grade treatment, he simply won't be an official.
He was more interested in the economy, and originally wanted to enter the Royal Bank, especially the Strategy Department of the Royal Bank, which was the most professional economic research institution in China except for the Economics Department of the Royal Institute of Technology.
Later, he simply gritted his teeth, and the Third Securities Company had just been established at that time, in order to attract talents, he was willing to spend money, and for the sake of the annual salary of 8,000 taels of silver, plus high dividends, he could earn tens of thousands of taels of silver in a year, so it was difficult for him to go to the Third Securities Company.
As a result, he became the general manager of Third Securities!
Born in the Department of Economics, he formulated various development plans from the height of economic theory, and with a group of people who didn't know what stocks were a few years ago, and who may have been ordinary bookkeepers and shopkeepers before, he was stunned to make the Third Securities Company the largest securities company in China, managing assets of more than 10 million taels of silver!
When Xuanping was nine years old, he also gained a lot of excess profits for customers and the company, and his annual salary and dividends added up to more than 60,000 taels of silver.
Even in the financial industry, which exudes the smell of money everywhere, such an income can be regarded as an absolute high salary!
But even so, failing to successfully graduate from the Royal Institute of Technology and stay in school is still the pain of his life!
If he can successfully graduate and stay in school to teach, then at least it is a three-grade treatment, and the entry and exit are all the kind escorted by the guards, and the ministers of the ministry have to politely shout Professor so-and-so when they see it, not to mention the treatment of life and economy, the top enjoyment.
If a major scientific research achievement is made, the knighthood will be obtained in minutes.
In today's Tang Empire, in addition to the military, the most concentrated titles are not anywhere else, but at the Royal Institute of Technology.
Among the teachers and students of the school, there is one marquis, two counts, seven viscounts, and more than twenty barons!
As for being an official in the imperial examination, don't expect to be knighted in this life!
Now if you want to get the title of the Tang Empire, there are only three ways, one is that you are a clan, a relative of the emperor and the country, so as to obtain the title!
The second is to join the army, risking death to kill the enemy and be knighted for military merits!
The third is to be knighted for major scientific research achievements!
Otherwise, why do you think there are countless geniuses every year who want to be admitted to the Royal Institute of Technology, and then bury themselves in the laboratory all day long, in addition to the yearning for science, it is naturally inevitable to yearn for glory and wealth!
Li Xuan's idea is very simple, give enough treatment to scientists, so that the development of science and technology can be stimulated!
How can he conquer the world without scientists, without advanced guns and battleships?
Is it possible to rely on drama and construction businessmen?
