The people in the three-story attic thought that this exhibition was necessary for different purposes, and whatever was deemed necessary must have achieved some purpose.

Chen Jian was not hostile to the few people standing next to him who were mercenary, extremely self-interested, and bent on making a fortune.

All these words that don't sound very good can be regarded as a manifestation of the realization of self-worth in life under the background of a specific era.

In the era of private ownership and commodity trading, at this moment when gold and silver money are distorted into the inherent attributes of all human labor incarnations, and whether commodity producers and traders can make the last leap into money and worship money, gold and silver, many people pursue the value of life and self-realization, and it is natural for many people to work towards money, gold and silver.

If you want to borrow the power of these people, you can't use the values that don't belong to their world to talk about it.

The conversation in the attic went on for a long time, and some people lacked interest in the "future" pavilion, so Chen Jian did not talk to them in detail about what he wanted to exhibit.

Those people are right, the future, or the future that Jian Chen believes, belongs to everyone, and this future will spread at an unprecedented speed.

The world is no longer isolated.

Just as the Preparatory Committee for Minerals, Metallurgical and Infrastructure Investment had recently held secret talks with the Swedes, the Russians half a world away began the First Battle of Moscow, driving the Polish and Swedish armies out of Moscow. In the aftermath of the war, Sweden was in dire need of reforms, new ordnance and mining techniques, and large loans could be pledged even with customs duties, tax rights, and salt taxes.

Just as the Indian company of Huaxia wanted to be able to anchor in Wangbei City and carry out trade and aggression against India. Japan, the largest trading partner of the city and the place where the silver was acquired, was engaged in a full-scale purge of Catholicism, and the remnants of the Toyotomi family were surviving in Osaka, perhaps secretly buying muskets and cannons that had been shipped from here. Once the Toyotomi family is finished, in the face of external anti-feudal ideas and new weapons, it is still unknown whether Japan will be able to close the country or allow this side to charter trade, even if Japan, as one of the first official organizations in Asia to cross the Pacific Ocean and go on pilgrimage to Rome, it is the best choice for the feudal lords to know that the outside is developing and close the door and pretend not to know.

Just as the telescope was transmitted to the battlefield of the Spanish-Dutch War, just as the Fransma and the Andalusian horse were transmitted back from the Low Countries, just as the two trigonometric tables corrected each other, all these things made the course of the world much faster, and there were many detours.

With the spread of systems such as mechanics and gravity, Galileo did not stubbornly believe that the orbits of the planets were perfectly circular, as in history, nor did he believe that the tides originated from the movement of the earth to support the heliocentric theory. The Meridian Observatory in Mincheng is debating whether Neptune is a planet or a star other than the Sun, and is puzzled by Saturn's rings, wondering why the two "moons" do not orbit motionless.

In addition to the purely academic controversy, since the Meridian Observatory in Mincheng is called the Meridian Observatory, it inevitably has a requirement for surveying and mapping. Chen Jian also brought a letter from Mr. Benchu with him when he came to the capital this time, hoping to obtain a grant from the Ministry of Industry to observe the Jupiter eclipse caused by Jupiter's moons, and to calculate the longitude by time difference. And he swore that within twenty years he would be able to try to draw a perfect picture of the republic with absolutely correct latitude and longitude.

Originally, the longitude had a close relationship with the Nanyang Company, but after discussion, the Nanyang Company decided not to donate, believing that it was purely uncomfortable to observe Jupiter's moons with a telescope on the ship, and that it had nothing to do with them to draw a full map of the Republic.

…… All these things that have happened in the world that have been linked together in a year have convinced Chen Jian that this exhibition with the theme of "Future" in three to five years will be feasible, and it will also be an opportunity for more people to intuitively feel what kind of changes are taking place in the world.

These people don't need to know that this exhibition is not just about technology and goods, but about a whole new world.

A new universe, a new sun and moon, a new earth, a new motion and mechanics, a new chemistry, a new biology, a new city, a new relationship between factories and production, all sorts of things.

The future is always the future, not as close as Chen Jianmeng deceived the people around him, the future should always be in front of it, and there is no end to it.

The world will always be there, but the perspective of understanding the world will be very different, and the new generation of people will try to interpret the world with a new worldview, imagine the future, and work towards the future.

All the novelties in the "Future" exhibition hall are reduced to a new system dressed in the cloak of "science", making it a power that people worship and expect, a power that can be held in the hands of people as if they are transcendent from God, and a power that makes people gush out of extreme self-confidence and conceit to conquer nature.

Compared with the money to be made in the intermediate process, and compared with the expansion of foreign trade in the near future, the real purpose of this exhibition is far more than that, and even the rest of the purposes seem to be worth mentioning.

The more people look at the world from a similar point of view, the faster the world can change. The future should be created and participated in by countless people, and the value of popular science and education is higher than that of a machine in a 20-year cycle.

…………

Acts and actions that sound so lofty are subject to the state of technology at this time, and can only be done at the most elaborate level of craftsmanship and laboratory.

After completing many things in the capital, Chen Jian, who was full of ambition, returned to Mincheng with many young people who were deceived or who really wanted to understand the world.

There were a lot of turmoil in Mincheng after he left, but he didn't focus on those things immediately, because he felt that the internal handling was not bad before, even if there were some minor problems, the general direction was right.

As for what to do in the future, it will need an expanded meeting to discuss, and it will only be held after the group leaders from Dahuang City, Wangbei City, Holland and other places have returned to Mincheng.

Even though a messenger had been sent half a year earlier, the speed of the spread of the Age of Sails was really impressive, and it was optimistic that this expanded meeting would be three months later, and that we would have to wait for the trade winds, the great force of nature.

After the junior brothers and sisters came to Mincheng, some of the senior brothers who came here earlier took them to play or familiarize themselves with the situation here, and then they had to study again, taking the foundation of those bold assumptions as the foundation of the discipline and re-learning for a year.

Naturally, they were not needed at this time, and there were also many craftsmen and young people who had gone through the academy to use, and they only had to do a wage-paid job, the only difference was that the wage-based work did not generate profits.

Mincheng is the foundation of Chen Jian, and unlike the capital, it can really be regarded as a place where the wind and the rain come.

The organization and the large amount of money that had been going on for many years, as well as the fact that the party had agreed on this experiment about the future and the fact that Chen Jian had donated all his private property as party property, had made his campaign more rapid than ever.

A large row of houses was prepared in the original school hall in Mincheng as a laboratory for the non-mechanical part of the "Future" theme exhibition.

It doesn't look like a normal school house, and there are no dazzling array of experimental equipment, so you can say that everything has to start all over again.

The only thing that is not considered to be starting from scratch is the money, fame, organization and academy accumulated over more than ten years, and some people who have received natural knowledge education and are now grown up to work.

Thinking about the various plans for future exhibitions, Chen Jian divided the entire laboratory into thirteen departments, recruited a large number of young people from those party-controlled academies according to the criteria for recruiting employees, and gave them a salary higher than normal work.

It sounds like an earth-shattering event that will affect the future.

But in practice, it is not much different from those miners who fight bags at the docks or dig coal in the mines.

When Marie Curie boiled asphalt all day, she was probably in such a state.

For example, the No. 1 laboratory has enrolled more than 40 young people. Aside from the fact that they have received a natural knowledge and school education, they are not much different from hired laborers.

What makes them happiest is that reading seems useful, because this knowledge can finally be exchanged for a slightly higher salary than others.

More than 40 young people served as assistants, led by a senior brother of Chen Jian, and the main technical force was four workers who had been transferred from his glass workshop.

What they have to do is that Chen Jian spends money to buy bauxite from outside, and then under the leadership of the material distributor, the bauxite is grinded, crushed, rinsed, and then used a basket in water to use a dustpan to turn the pods and beans the same as the beans, using the difference in density to separate the slightly cleaner bauxite.

The bauxite is then subjected to a second process in the same laboratory, where it is washed and dissolved and filtered with soda ash, and then the gas generated by the calcined limestone in a sealed iron furnace is introduced into the precipitation, filtered and washed again......

Even many of them don't know what they're doing, but they only vaguely know that it's related to "science", and they also take advantage of the trend to reduce the level of science to a level similar to that of a laborer.

Rudimentary tools, strict rules and regulations, repetitive and boring work day after day, the work that looks similar to that of a potter in a coal mine or a ceramics factory.

But many people are still excited, they feel that they are working for "science", which is a very different kind of business from those jobs, and there is a special sense of excitement and satisfaction.

In fact, it is only a hired laborer, and it is not fundamentally different from a labor force.
