Chapter 155: The Development of Science and Technology
In the face of such a huge **, Shen Xing knows that the situation should not be underestimated, because this group of millions of young people are the direct victims of the new system of education that they have changed, in fact, Shen Xing also expresses understanding and sympathy from the bottom of his heart, who has studied for ten years but can't take the exam and become an official, he will also jump and do it.
After thinking about it again and again, Shen Xing still decided to conduct the last imperial examination of the Chinese Empire, and the number of admitted personnel was unprecedented to reach 100,000, but the rules of the examination were not just a single township examination, government examination, and palace examination. He adopted a more humane interview and made the necessary age restrictions, and anyone over the age of 50 could only be retained at the county level even if he passed the exam.
The interviews were divided into five or six sessions, and if successful, they had to go through a year of advanced study at the official academy to get used to the ordinary management of officials under the new system. Shen Xing also issued a notice, repeatedly stating that if the students who failed this time still want to become officials in China, they must be admitted to the new-style universities in various states and provinces before they can further participate in the annual selection examination for grassroots officials.
With such a painstaking effort and effort, it was easy to resolve the nationwide resistance**, which was amazing that Qian Qianyi was also praised at the weekly meeting of the China Committee, and a group of old officials in Qianming did not hesitate to praise it. Land, housing, education, and legal systems are slowly getting on the right track.
After such a fuss about the imperial examination, Shen Xing can really put his mind at ease to engage in scientific and technological development, and the steam engine he is most concerned about has been three years after Tang Ruogang's participation, but there is no good news for a long time. In terms of weapons, under the leadership of Bi Da Niu and the old man, they are thriving day by day, and they are full of tricks.
A few days ago, someone sent a shoulder test cannon, which really scared Shen Xing, and the super large cannon specially designed for warships with a super shooting distance heard that just one cannon costs tens of thousands of taels of silver. Shen Xing wanted to cry without tears after seeing it, these guys from the Ministry of Military Industry were really not distressed, and they were getting more and more excessive.
But I can only smile and smile, who told me that I didn't go through the brain's nonsense? Words that are spoken are as unrecoverable as spilled water. Fortunately, they are not doing useless work everywhere, and they have also created the prototype of an automatic rifle on the principle of heavy machine guns. It really comforted Shen Xing's old arms, thinking that the tens of millions of dollars a year were finally not spent in vain.
When Shen Xing took a large group of women to Nanjing University, Tang Ruowang did not disappoint under the stimulation of missionary ambitions, and the equipment in the laboratory, which was the size of half a house, made Shen Xing cry excitedly.
"Comrade Lao Tang, you have lived up to the expectations of the Chinese people! And those of you who are fighting day and night on the front line of scientific and technological research are heroes! Shen Xing looked around at everyone in the room and said loudly. Tang Ruowang was also overwhelmed with joy, and he pulled a blonde and blue-eyed young man in front of Shen Xing in the crowd.
"**My lord, this steam engine has been successfully researched, and Dennis Baben has contributed a lot! It was he who brought the knowledge of physics! Of course, the details you gave me earlier are the key to opening the door to my mind! Seeing this, Shen Xing shook hands with Dennis Papen very enthusiastically, he didn't know that this young man who graduated from French physics with an unremarkable appearance was the first person to invent the first generation of steam engines many years later.
It's just that by mistake, inspired by the knowledge content written by Shen Xing, Dennis transcendentally improved the advanced technology that was originally Watt's work in advance. In this way, the first relatively complete steam engine was born in the land of China, which made a small step forward in human industrial science and technology.
After Shen Xing visited the demonstration of the steam engine, he not only rewarded the personnel involved in the research and development, but also instructed on the spot to increase the proportion of scientific research funds, and repeatedly encouraged them to make persistent efforts to improve the process and use the steam engine in major industries. On a whim, he gave a detailed speech on the idea of a train in a class at Nanjing University.
Such a whimsical idea instantly made those foreign scholars shout in shock, and they ran to Shen ** to explain their research direction and hope to get corresponding financial support. Although Shen Xing knew that most of these people's research was now on paper, and even if a lot of money was invested, there might not be results, but he agreed to it all in the spirit of buying horse bones.
Of course, he politely rejected studies that seemed to be nonsense to the extent of his knowledge, and suggested that these scientists change course. Just as Shen Xing was about to leave after answering everyone's demands, Zhao Min walked up to him with a young foreign youth.
The young man was very reserved, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped. "Husband, he is my classmate at the Royal College in the United Kingdom, his name is Lankern, majoring in physics, but his interest is very strange what is called electromagnetic knowledge! He also hopes to get your support to continue his research, but he is afraid that you will refuse. Because there is no university in the world for this science! ”
As soon as Shen Xing heard the word electricity, he remembered his poor mobile phone, he really couldn't dream that someone else could say electromagnetism in 1642. In order to charge the mobile phone, he did not work hard to learn Franklin to fly a kite to attract electricity, and even built a resistor with reference to Xiang Shaolong's method in Xun Qin Ji.
The results were all in vain, until I remembered that charging is not simply to attract electricity, but to change DC and AC to be feasible, and I was desperate and scolded the TV series for being brainless and harmful.
Now that such a pioneer who was interested in the study of electricity suddenly appeared in front of him, his joy was uncontrollable, and he took a few steps forward and hugged Lankern. "Good boy, how did you think of electricity, I will definitely support you vigorously, what do you need, just ask, whether it is funds, equipment or personnel, all to you!"
Although Zhao Min was surprised by Shen Xing's situation, he still translated the words as they were, and Lan Keen was overjoyed when he heard it, and then took out a crumpled book in the small bag he was carrying. Shen Xing couldn't read English and looked at Zhao Min suspiciously.
"This is Gilbert's Theory of Magnetism, a graduate of St. John's College, Cambridge, a doctor of medicine, a personal physician to Queen Elizabeth I, and an amazing physicist!"
Shen Xing touched the book and shouted in his heart, I grass, the sun never sets The empire is really full of talents, and it is not unreasonable for it to take the lead in the industrial revolution! It seems that he has to speed up his pace, riding the Chinese Empire and winning at the starting line.
"Such a powerful character, Minmin, why don't you bring China!" "What do you say, husband? It's been more than 30 years since they died! "I wrote it more than thirty years ago, and Shen Xing's hairs stood on end in shock again.
"Minmin, I have the power to support Lanken's research, and I will give him the relevant electrical materials, you tell him to try to find more like-minded people in the UK, and I will give you a task, and I will ask Brother Tiankuo to collect all kinds of books from Western countries when I go back, and you are responsible for arranging translations for people who are proficient in Chinese and English, remember to spend money to train a batch of people who are not professional, and knowledge cannot be sloppy!"
Zhao Min smiled and nodded, she really couldn't imagine that Shen Xing, who hated learning the most since childhood, would now attach so much importance to scientific knowledge and translate all Western literature, thinking about it, admiration rose endlessly, and the whole person immediately stepped forward and kissed Shen Xing deeply.
Everyone present was dumbfounded, the foreign devil was not surprised, the local scholars in China blew up the pot Where do you care if you are ** and Mrs., some older grades pointed at Shen Xing's nose and scolded, what kind of bad morals, I don't know how to be honest...... Fortunately, Shen Xing ran fast, otherwise he might have been scolded to death!
On the central street of Nanjing, Shen Xing and the women sat in a rickshaw to slowly enjoy the scenery on the side of the street, and Zhao Minmin looked at the rickshaw under him like a curious baby. "Why is this car so amazing? Compared to the carriage, it doesn't feel bumpy at all! Shen Xing smiled without saying a word, and then pointed to the bicycle that was patrolling the street and riding quickly.
"That's called magic, you see they only need to step on their feet to move forward, the wheels are wrapped in a large amount of cow tendon cotton and cowhide to reduce vibration, this young master invented a great thing, isn't it? There is also that rubber tree China has also been introduced and planted in large quantities from South America, and more sophisticated tires can be made when the technology matures! ”
Zhao Minmin and Alice clapped their hands and couldn't help but shout, praising Shen Xing's genius idea again and again! , Liu is like this, but Dong Xiaowan and others are stupid. "Sister, you see that the husband is showing off to others again, and he doesn't blush when he plagiarizes the inventions of later generations!" Liu Ru took measures with his hand, Dong Xiaowan's forehead and whispered: "You dead girl, you just don't have a long memory, if he hears it, he will definitely not spare you at night!" What your husband said is too amazing, do you really believe it? The soul flies out of control, and the shuttle is too unbelievable. ”
"Are you saying that the husband may be chaotic and make it up, but that magical mobile phone is what we have seen with our own eyes!" "The world is so big, you see there are so many things in the West that we have never seen, what can a small mobile phone say! Remember not to say anything that slanders your husband's reputation in the future! Dong Xiaowan looked at Shen Xing with a flat mouth, and then nodded heavily.
"Ah, the husband is looking at the big carriage, why does it have eight horses pulling and running on two iron rods!" Shen Xing was also amazed, but he didn't expect that the urban public transport system he had planned two months ago would be completed and implemented so quickly. The driver who pulled the car wiped his sweat with a cloth, turned his head and said to Zhao Minmin: "**Madam, you are coming to Nanjing for the first time, this is called the bus Yamen, the newly built ground is paved with rails, and the carriage is labor-saving, so the bus can seat dozens of people?" It's only a dime, and it robs us of a lot of business! ”
"Then you're against this bus running!" Shen Xing asked deliberately. "No, no, don't laugh at the villain, this bus is for ordinary people to ride, it is convenient for everyone to travel, where will the rich people squeeze, how comfortable our rickshaw is, isn't the villain also worried about the future? In case this bus is getting better and better! Let's ...... business."
Shen Xing also laughed after hearing this, is it the driving force for social development that the common people have a sense of competition? If you are poor, you will think about change, and if you change, you will be accessible.
