Chapter Ninety-Three: The Explosion of Technology

After the grain and household registration matters were reported, Wang Sizong confidently stood up with the jade plate and reported to Jiang Yin the most meritorious development history of the New Song Kingdom. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Your Majesty, according to the explanation of the Academy of Engineering, the two state institutions of the Perak Academy and the General Prison have been basically established, and the craftsmen invited by them are all outstanding craftsmen selected from the four states and counties of the New Song Kingdom.

According to the drawings and research directions provided by His Majesty, we have studied pellet gunpowder and automatic water wheelers, and not only that, but we have also made the hot air balloon you mentioned according to the principle of hot gas floating. "Wang Sizong is always full of curiosity about modern technology, coupled with his intelligence and intelligence to be admitted to the top prize, so he studies modern things very quickly.

"That's right, it's only been half a month, and the Academy of Engineering has been researching so fast." When he heard the news, Jiang Yin was greatly relieved, and it was in vain that he did his best to bring so many drawings of modern craftsmanship from modern times.

"Not only that, but we are now working on the polishing of transparent glass, and according to the words of a glaze craftsman from the Great Food Country who will be the supervisor of the glaze department, he can already polish it into the kind of concave and convex mirror that His Majesty requested."

Hearing the news, Jiang Yin smiled even happier, "Did you bring samples here?" ”

"The minister is prepared." As Wang Sizong spoke, he took off a brocade cloth bag from his waist and handed it to a strong man with a plate who walked over, the strong man took the bag, walked quickly to the high platform, and then bowed down and held the plate in front of Jiang Yin.

The detective got the brocade cloth bag, Jiang Yin opened the bag and poured the contents on the dragon case.

Three polished lenses were full of the smell of art, Jiang Yin picked up one of them, put it on the table and looked at it carefully.

This is a standard convex lens, thick in the middle and thin on both sides, so that you can see the magnified object below by hanging your gaze above the convex lens.

Jiang Yin played with interest for a while before holding up the convex lens and asking, "Can this thing be mass-produced now?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, now this kind of concave and convex mirror can not be mass-produced, although we can already make glass by firing sand and stone, but the scrap rate of grinding a piece is very high, if you are not careful, a piece of glass will be scrapped, so it cannot be mass-produced." Wang Sizong said with a little disappointment.

"It's already pretty good." Jiang Yin comforted, "This thing is a good thing, we already have a lot of old people in the court, Yang Yushi, Chen Inspector, I heard that they all have old eyes and faint problems?" As long as you can hang something on your eyes, you can counteract the symptoms of presbyopia.

And as long as two lenses with different concave and convex lenses are combined at a certain distance, you can make a 'clairvoyant mirror' that can be seen thousands of meters away, and if it can be combined with a hot air balloon, it is really a good choice for observing the enemy's situation. ”

Hearing Jiang Yin say this, Wang Sizong's face suddenly turned happy, and he couldn't wait to go and test Jiang Yin's statement now.

"Last time I remembered that I brought a batch of mirrors from overseas, and then wrote three ways to make mirrors with drawings, do you have any research now?" Jiang Yin asked, if the New Song Kingdom can make mirrors, then Jiang Yin is confident that he can export this kind of thing in large quantities, and there are countless noble ladies in the Khitan and Great Song Dynasty who will flock to things like mirrors.

Wang Sizong shook his head, "Our engineering academy has spent a lot of effort on the research of mirrors, but now except for the first mercury mirror, we can preliminarily complete it, and the other two are still clueless. ”

Seeing that Wang Sizong was a little depressed, Jiang Yin said in a harmonious voice: "Xi Ruan Mo is in a hurry, you have done a good job now, it is conceivable that the future scientific and technological development of our New Song Kingdom will definitely climb steadily." ”

Hearing Jiang Yin's encouragement, Wang Sizong also reinvigorated his spirits, "The minister must live up to his mission." ”....

.....

After Wang Sizong finished reporting, Shi Shouxin stepped forward with a jade plaque and reported to Jiang Yin: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to say, please play." ”

"Quasi-play."

"At the beginning of July, the road systems of the four prefectures and counties of the New Song Kingdom have basically been established. With Cangzhou as the center, three wide asphalt roads lead to Qingzhou, Dezhou, and Dizhou respectively, and these three asphalt roads are No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 national highways, and there is a township road in the other three states to connect these three states and counties, and now one hundred and thirty-six villages under the rule of sixteen county seats, each village, has also built a county road to connect the states and counties of each state. ”

Shi Shouxin's report was not surprising to Jiang Yin, road construction is something that Jiang Yin has always attached great importance to the New Song Kingdom, so he did not hesitate to use a large number of modern people and modern road building tools.

Asphalt mixture mixing equipment, asphalt mixture paver, stabilized soil mixing equipment, straightening and cutting machine, asphalt spreader, stone chip spreader, etc., these machines are extremely expensive to buy.

The speed of modern people to build roads, is these ancient people can not imagine, just one month, four main roads have been built, multiple sections at the same time, multiple machines at the same time, in the case of wages in place, modern workers to build roads fast are like galloping horses on the highway.

The construction speed of 8,000 meters a day was played out every day in the four prefectures and counties of the New Song Dynasty, and in two months, the New Song Dynasty built a total of no less than 480,000 meters of asphalt roads.

This era is not like later generations, all kinds of overloading can crush the road, this era of two horse-drawn cars is already the heaviest, so this level of wear, even if you run for ten years without maintaining the road, the asphalt road will not have much damage.

"As I said before, every township should have a village head, every village should have a village head, and every ten households should have a security chief, can this matter be implemented together with road construction?" Knowing that the road was repaired, Jiang Yin asked about the manpower supporting the road.

"Back to Your Majesty, ten people and one chief, one village and one village head, one township and one township head, this matter has been arranged, here is the selected list introduction, Your Majesty can check it." Shi Shouxin took out a thick booklet from his sleeve robe and handed it to the strong man who delivered the message.

Jiang Yin took the booklet from the guard's hand and flipped through it casually, all the people who read on it were scholars from every township and county, and the worst were at least Tongsheng, and he immediately nodded with satisfaction: "Since the list has been arranged, it will be implemented according to this in the future."

I will set up a special edition of the official newspaper in our new Song Kingdom, and this official newspaper will be published once every seven days, and every time it comes out, I will go to the messenger post station to convey it to all prefectures, townships and villages through the transportation network of our New Song Kingdom, and at least the chief of security in all places can receive this kind of official newspaper, and I ask my people to know the new policies of our New Song Kingdom as soon as possible......"
