Xu Shou, vice minister of science and technology, has been following Emperor Zhang Luo on the affairs of the Royal Academy of Sciences recently, and if he wants to say who knows the situation of the Royal Academy of Sciences best, he is naturally responsible. At this moment, he stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty's decree, Wechen will briefly introduce to the cabinet members the relevant situation of the newly established Royal Academy of Sciences.

Three months ago, His Majesty ordered the formal establishment of the Royal Academy of Sciences, and allocated a large area of the royal gardens in the northwest of his private palace as the base of the Academy of Sciences, and allocated 800,000 holy dollars from the royal treasury as the initial cost of the establishment of the Academy of Sciences.

At the same time, His Majesty collected scholars with a certain degree of popularity and research in a certain professional field in the Chinese Empire and around the world to become the first batch of academicians, and the authoritative professional engineers in all walks of life were regarded as experts in this field and filled into the Royal Academy of Sciences as corresponding academicians. At present, the Royal Academy of Sciences has recruited a total of 24 Chinese scholars and engineers, 58 foreign scholars and experts, including 32 official academicians, 10 Chinese, and 22 foreign academicians who have entered the nationality of the Chinese Empire; There are a total of 14 alternate academicians or correspondents, all of whom are Chinese engineers; The remaining 36 foreigners, experts and scholars, because they have not yet joined the nationality of the Chinese Empire, are all listed as foreign corresponding academicians, and they are still in the West and other places, waiting for them to decide whether to come to our Chinese Empire, and then decide whether to admit them into the Academy of Sciences to become full academicians.

Full Fellows, each of whom receives a royal subsidy of 1,000 Syrd. per year, is also allocated a certain amount of research and development funds by the Royal Academy of Sciences, depending on the respective research projects.

His Majesty has decided that the Royal Academy of Sciences will allocate 2 million S$ per year from the Royal Treasury as the development fund of the Royal Academy of Sciences, and set up a development fund to maintain the operation of the Royal Academy of Sciences.

By the way, I almost forgot to introduce it, today, the Royal Academy of Sciences focuses on natural sciences, including physics, mathematics, chemistry and medicine, geography, agriculture, astronomy, military science, etc., most of which are physics and chemistry in Gewu. ”

Luo Zenan asked first, and it was the part he was most concerned about: "Your Majesty, Lord Xu, I don't know who this candidate for the president of the Royal Academy of Sciences is?" Also, can you put humanistic philosophy into it? ”

Xu Shou's face was slightly red, and he said embarrassedly: "This, the current honorary president of the Royal Academy of Sciences is His Majesty himself!" By the grace of His Majesty, Xu was added as the first president of the Royal Academy of Sciences, and there were two other vice-presidents, namely Academician Otto, an expert in internal combustion engines, and Academician John Erickson, an expert on ironclad steam warships.

As for the philosophy of humanities, this is currently the scientific science of the Royal Academy of Sciences, which is mainly Western, and reluctantly puts part of Chinese medicine and astronomical calendar into it. Your Majesty, look at this ......"

Xu Shou couldn't decide whether to put Luo Zenan's humanistic philosophy into the Academy of Sciences, so he asked the emperor.

Feng Yunshan shook his head and said, "The Royal Academy of Sciences, as the name suggests, is my royal funding and support, and the Academy of Sciences mainly works for me. And the Academy of Sciences, mainly natural sciences, humanities and philosophy, is not included for the time being. If the Royal Academy of Sciences is established and the results are significant, the establishment of the Royal Academy of Humanities will be considered in the next step, and then it will be considered to be included. Of course, your cabinet can discuss it, and if you want to set it up, you can also set up the Imperial State Academy, but I can't afford this operation fee, so you can find a way to solve it with the Ministry of Finance and Taxation. ”

After listening to the emperor's words, everyone understood that the emperor attached more importance to the natural sciences of Gewu, and it was also clear that it was sponsored by the royal family, so it was naturally difficult to say anything.

Li Hongzhang suddenly praised: "Your Majesty is really far-sighted, the Royal Academy of Sciences has been set up, and the last two months have been very busy, and there must have been a lot of results, right?" ”

Feng Yunshan laughed and said, "Li Aiqing, you don't have to be a sycophant on the surface, but in fact, you are probing." Recently, I have indeed been staying at the Royal Academy of Sciences, why, Li Aiqing, do you have an opinion about me, and think that I don't care about your cabinet? ”

"How dare Wechen! Your Majesty is wrong to blame Weichen! Li Hongzhang hurriedly begged for mercy, but he could be laughed and scolded by the emperor, obviously, Li Hongzhang found that he was right, the emperor was indeed very satisfied with the Royal Academy of Sciences, so he deliberately mentioned this matter: "Weichen just guessed that His Majesty attaches so much importance to the Royal Academy of Sciences, and the Academy of Sciences is so busy, there must be very important results." Weichen inquired, and everyone was happy. ”

Feng Yunshan was happy and said with a smile: "Don't say it, I have been in the Royal Academy of Sciences for two months, and I have really made some famous names!" As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Shou.

Xu Shou understood, and immediately said: "Indeed, with His Majesty sitting in the Royal Academy of Sciences, the academicians are full of energy, coupled with His Majesty's series of instructions, especially the directional and wise choice, so that the academicians have reduced countless groping and forks in the road, saved countless time and energy, and many of them are straight to the topic and solved."

Recently, because the personnel of the Royal Academy of Sciences have been in place one after another, the direction and topics of study have gradually increased, especially Your Majesty, a dignified emperor of the Chinese Empire, who is still with us academicians all day long, so that all the academicians in the Academy of Sciences are very moved and excited, and the fighting spirit is high, and everyone works overtime and works hard, and the results are remarkable. ”

Xu Shou paused, and continued excitedly and proudly: "First of all, the most important invention is naturally Academician Otto's development of the four-stroke reciprocating piston single-cylinder horizontal gas engine!" For the internal combustion engine, you may not be familiar with it, but Your Majesty said that this internal combustion engine will be more widely used than the steam engine in the future, because the internal combustion engine is lightweight, small in size, and has high thermal efficiency, which is more practical and convenient than the steam engine. When the internal combustion engine is perfected and put into practical use, it is very likely to bring about a historic change in the entire field of power machines!

Adults can imagine that the steam engine was first invented and applied to machines to drive the efficiency of machines instead of human and animal power. Steamboats, trains, textile machines, and all sorts of other industries have all had to do with the steam engine, and now that this internal combustion engine has been invented by our Royal Academy of Sciences, and when it is put into use after a while, that kind of change will surely shock the whole world! ”
