How to say the idea of the car, the progress of this research and development is really unpredictable, maybe lucky, Daming appeared a genius in this area, a few years to become, maybe slowly developed, it will take more than ten years or even decades to develop the engine.

The current Daming demand for cars is not very urgent, so Zhu Cijiong set a long-term goal, within five years to be able to make tires and frames, first to be able to drive and then consider the issue of speed.

As for the person in charge of the project, Wang Zheng seems to be very interested in this, Zhu Cijiong simply handed him over to be responsible, and the personnel let him summon it, first invest 100,000 taels a year, and reward 1 million taels if he can make a car on the road within five years, and the follow-up progress will be talked about when the time comes.

The next thing to say is really a bit ahead of its time, so on the third day, at the beginning, Zhu Cijiong said very solemnly: "What I am going to talk about next is difficult to make, but every thing, if it can be made, it will be of great benefit to Daming, so don't be afraid of difficulties, as long as you can succeed, it will not be too late for decades or even hundreds of years!" “

When the people below heard this, they were immediately dumbfounded, what is it, so difficult, it takes decades or even hundreds of years to study!

Zhu Cijiong carefully recalled the guns of later generations, then looked into the distance and said with hope: "You may not know, in fact, there is not only one kind of gunpowder, but there is also gunpowder that is more powerful than black powder. For example, guns nowadays must rely on open flames to ignite, but there is a kind of gunpowder that explodes on its own when hit directly; Also, the current gunpowder, as soon as it explodes, will form a large smoke, which can be dispersed for a long time, seriously obstructing people's vision, in fact, there is a kind of gunpowder, after the explosion, the smoke is very small, basically will not block people's vision, these, all need us to develop. “

These are even more difficult for people in the Ming Dynasty to understand, is there any other gunpowder besides black powder?

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Cijiong explained the characteristics, production methods and functions of thundermercury, nitroglycerin, smokeless gunpowder and even TNT according to his own memory.

For example, thundermercury is a good detonation material, with thundermercury, there is no need for flint ignition, direct impact can be detonated, bullets and shells can be made into the appearance of later generations, in the back to make an ignition cap, directly with the firing pin impact can ignite gunpowder, bullets and shells are launched, the development of guns will produce leapfrog progress.

Of course, these require a long period of experimental accumulation, and even life-threatening, Zhu Cijiong thought about it, and finally handed over the project to the more stable Bi Maokang, and strictly forbade him to participate in the experiment.

He also made strict regulations for the experimenters and experimental sites, and must take necessary protective measures, and implement isolation, one person and one laboratory, and try to avoid affecting others.

The reward for these is high, investing 100,000 taels a year is basic, and if you succeed, you will be rewarded with 1 million taels, and there is no time limit.

Next, Zhu Cijiong put forward the idea of a wired telephone, which is even more illusory, thundermercury, nitroglycerin, smokeless gunpowder, TNT and black powder as a reference, wired telephones are simply fantastical, hundreds of miles or even thousands of miles away can talk, clairvoyance and tailwind ears are not so powerful!

However, it seems that when Zhu Cijiong said this, Xu Fuyuan actually showed a strong interest, since someone is willing to study it, it is naturally the best, Zhu Cijiong directly designated Xu Fuyuan as the project leader of the wired telephone, and the same is to invest 100,000 taels every year, no time limit, and as long as the results are made, the entire project team will be rewarded with one million taels every ten years.

For this, it cannot be said that after success, millions of taels or even tens of millions of taels will be directly rewarded, because this difficulty is indeed very great, and it is very likely that a generation of researchers will not be able to study it, so this generation of researchers will not get anything, so Zhu Cijiong specially set up a ten-year award.

The next thing, Zhu Cijiong didn't have a draft, he just thought of what to say.

For example, he thought of voltage from the wired telephone, and he didn't dare to use high-voltage electricity in the phone, otherwise he would accidentally electrocute people to death, how to change the voltage, it's very simple, the transformer is just two sets of connected coils, this is not very difficult.

From the transformer he thought of the welding machine, low voltage, strong current, a short circuit will produce a terrible high temperature, this is actually not very difficult, as long as the winding wire of the transformer is thickened, try a few more times to try out, the main difficulty is the production of welding electrodes.

There are too many types of welding electrodes in later generations, and it is impossible for Zhu Cijiong to remember what the raw materials of each type of welding electrode are, fortunately, since ancient times, there have been many welding materials, but generally the things that need to be welded and the welding materials are thrown into the furnace to heat up to make them welded together, this method is too troublesome, and there is nothing that can be done for the welding between long welds and large objects, with electric welding machines, these are not a problem.

That is to say, the development of welding electrodes is not impossible for people at this time, and there are many ready-made materials since ancient times, as long as you try slowly, you can always succeed.

Because the welding machine is electricity-related, in the end, Zhu Cijiong handed over the project to Xia Yunyi, according to everyone's description, it seems that the welding rod is not very difficult, so he set the research and development cycle of the welding machine to five years, the same is to invest 100,000 taels every year, and directly reward the project team with 1 million taels after success.

After such a batch of projects are decided, Bi Maokang, Wang Zheng, Sun Yuanhua, Xu Fuyuan and Xia Yunyi all have goals, and once they succeed, they will receive huge rewards, and it seems that only Song Yingxing is not specifically responsible for the project.

This definitely doesn't work, if you want to talk about invention and creation, Song Yingxing is definitely one of the best, it's just that by mistake, all the projects that Zhu Cijiong can think of have been arranged for others, and Song Yingxing is left with nothing to do, what should I do?

must find him a project, if nothing else, just to reward him for his contributions to Daming over the years, he must be paid enough.

For this reason, Zhu Cijiong racked his brains, thought about it for a long time, and finally thought of a good project.

On the last day of the seminar, Zhu Cijiong did not talk about anything or draw anything, but asked directly: "Do you know what fierce fire oil is?" “

Naturally, many people know about fierce fire oil, because there was a record of fierce fire oil in the Han Dynasty as early as possible, and there is a detailed record of fierce fire oil in the "Mengxi Written Talk" written by Shen Kuo in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Song Yingxing is the most knowledgeable about these, he coughed directly, stood up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the fierce fire oil Weichen has seen it in many books, the fierce fire oil is like ink, and the fireworks are violent, since the Han Dynasty, there have been people in Shu who have mined it and used it to cook salt." “

Zhu Cijiong nodded with satisfaction: "Well, this is this thing, because it is mined from stones, "Mengxi Pen Talk" also gave it a nickname called oil, and it will be called oil in the future." In fact, it is wrong to burn this oil directly, as long as it is heated to a certain temperature, it will separate a lot of things. Among them, there is oil as pure as water, which can be used as lamp oil for the people; There is white wax, which can also be used for night lighting; There is also a black sticky residue that can be used to pave the road. Of course, there are many other oils, such as gasoline that vaporizes like steamed wine, and it is up to you to test and summarize them slowly. “

The refining of this oil is simply tailor-made for Song Yingxing, he really showed a strong interest, Zhu Cijiong did not hesitate to hand over this project to him, and offered a reward, the same 100,000 taels of research and development funds per year, and 1 million taels for each oil refined! ”

At this point, the vigorous seminar is successfully concluded, Zhu Cijiong proposed a lot of things, of course, he did not want Bi Maokang and others to develop all these things within a few years, he just specified the direction for the technological development of Daming, as long as these directions go on, Daming will definitely reach the top of the world!
