Chapter 686: Fragments

The Science and Technology Commission, located on the west side of Imperial Capital Street, is a modest government agency in Beijing, but it is a very important institution for the Chinese scientific community. Over the years, we have provided a lot of consulting services to the government. Of course, they also need to compile a monthly report on world science, so that the emperor, officials, and teachers and students of the academy can keep abreast of the latest trends in world science.

Of course, the Imperial Science and Technology Committee had a more important mission – to assist in the introduction of Western technology from domestic enterprises. Different from the scattered introduction of technology from other countries, as early as the period of the Governor's Office, in view of the backward situation of technology, in accordance with His Majesty's instructions, it adopted the shrewd measures of "technological salvage" and "optimizing the cutting-edge", so as to quickly and successfully absorb the technological accumulation of Western countries for more than half a century in less than 10 years at a very low cost and with extremely high efficiency, and rapidly shortened the gap between the scientific and technological level of China and Western countries. "Technical salvage" means that when the technology is introduced, the technical data, equipment samples, and process routes quoted and sold by foreign manufacturers are analyzed and judged, and efforts are made to "salvage" the applicable technology. The "optimal cutting-edge" means to find the "new" and "excellent" among the appropriate technologies, so as to ensure that the introduced technologies will not fall behind immediately after the introduction.

Of course, in addition to the large-scale introduction of technology, more important is the introduction of large-scale equipment, after the first year of Kaihong, the country began to enter large-scale construction, in five years, the domestic government and private enterprises introduced more than 100,000 sets of machinery and equipment, in the same period Britain and France and other countries 85% of machinery exports, are sold to China. In this process, the Science and Technology Committee also plays a very important role, they have drawn up a list of imported machinery and equipment, and sometimes even directly sent people to participate in the negotiations, through government subsidies, the introduction of equipment production technology patents.

In addition to the introduction of technology, the Science and Technology Committee also guides domestic factories and schools to conduct corresponding technical research, so that the country has surpassed the United Kingdom in many technical fields. Especially in the fields of electricity and chemistry, after several years of hard work, China has been far ahead of the UK. In this process, the guiding role of the Science and Technology Committee can be said to have made great contributions. But even so, to the outside world, the Science and Technology Committee is still a body with a not very good reputation.

Compared to other government agencies, the CST is completely hidden in a garden, so much so that it looks like a huge garden rather than a government agency, and in many cases, it is often misunderstood as a closed garden.

In the office on the sixth floor of the Science Building, in front of the wide-curtain floor-to-ceiling window of the office of the Pre-Research Division of the Science and Technology Committee, a face that looked a little too thin was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed eyes.

Unlike any other city, the Imperial Capital has so many firsts as a city, with gas pipes, flush toilets, wide streets, dense gardens, and of course, elevators! As the director of the General Research Department, Chen Guang has been most proud of the elevator, although the safety elevator was invented by the American Elisha Graves Otis, but two years after the safety elevator he demonstrated in 1854, Chen Guang has already designed and manufactured the first Chinese elevator, unlike Otis using a steam engine, the elevator uses an electric motor. And the world's first passenger elevator was installed in the Yangtze River Department Store in Wuchang that year. The imperial capital is the first city in the world to popularize elevators, and it is precisely because of the emergence of elevators that the imperial capital has emerged as high as ten floors and more than ten floors.

It's not the tallest building, and there are even taller buildings in Shanghai.

As the inventor of the elevator, the reason why he became the head of the pre-research department that leads the domestic scientific and technological research and development institutions is not only because of the elevator, in fact, the elevator is just one of his many inventions, in many times, there will always be many strange ideas in his mind, and in the end, those domestic enterprises and schools will help him turn those ideas into reality.

"Perhaps, I will be able to see something, when my consciousness is immersed in the universe again, when I am immersed in that beautiful, magical picture, I suddenly see many things, some of those things, which will eventually become some inventions, of course, there are many things, things that I can never explain and understand......"

With his back to the reporter, Chen Guang did not hide the inventions he "saw", or rather, he saw many physical objects, and there were some things that he himself could not understand.

"Your Excellency, you mean, you can see those inventions?"

As a reporter, Huang Weiping has seen too much news that can even be described as strange, and as a reporter, he knows very well that many readers like the kind of news with strange talks. It can even be said that, at some point, they all play a guiding role.

But this is not the reason why Huang Weiping came to interview this time, but because the director has repeatedly claimed that many of his inspirations are not his inspirations, but because he "saw" those inventions.

"Well, that's what it means!"

In the face of reporters' inquiries, Chen Guang did not deny it, and he even deliberately emphasized.

"I think maybe there's a place in the universe where people don't know when, and then they see something, and eventually, you can understand it, accept it, and then turn it into a real invention, and I think maybe, maybe that's the source of inspiration......"

As a believer, Chen Guang did not emphasize God's "revelation," although many times he privately regarded this inspiration as God's "revelation" to him.

"My lord, I noticed that there is ...... in your office"

Huang Weiping glanced at the spacious office and said in an admiring tone.

"It seems that more often than not, you're studying, you're doing theoretical research."

This office is full of all kinds of materials and books, and there are many formulas on the desks, bookcases, even the floor, and even the blackboard, so it is more of a research room than an office.

"If, in your dreams, you see a new type of engine, can you invent it?"

Staring at this reporter, Chen Guang asked rhetorically.

"I may be able to see a lot of things, but I need to understand all of them, otherwise, it's like an old farmer seeing a train, there is no other meaning than surprise, inspiration is everything, but if you can't understand it, then what's the point of inspiration?"

In the face of the reporter's inquiry, Chen Guang said in a calm tone, and then he once again cast his eyes out of the window, all along, perhaps it was God's favor that allowed him to see those "inspirations", and it was by relying on those messy and scattered inspirations in his mind that he was able to play a very key role in the pre-research department.

Is this really God's favor?

"My lord, I heard that you were once a student of His Majesty!"

At the end of the interview, Huang Weiping suddenly thought of a question, and then looked at him and asked.

Your Majesty......

The reporter's question made Huang Weiping stunned, and then he looked towards the imperial statue of His Majesty on the wall.

"Yes, it is really a blessing for Huang to be taught by His Majesty!"

He heard the reporter ask again.

"So, in your opinion, what you have achieved today is the teaching of His Majesty back then, or the grace of God?"

"God's grace!"

In an instant, when he saw the news in the newspaper, Zhu Yifeng's whole person was suffocated.

Maybe other people don't know what God's grace is, but he knows very well what the knowledge of those students when he was in Wuchang was there, and many of the knowledge he taught are found in this world and in the future, although those knowledge is messy, or even just some "knowledge fragments", if they can sort out the fragments of that knowledge, those knowledge will definitely subvert the future of world science!

Of course, the provider of more fragments of knowledge is not him, but ...... The unknown artificial intelligence in his brain, he will always remind Zhu Yifeng of his existence when he is inadvertent.

Why?

What is your purpose?

When question marks appeared in his mind, Zhu Yifeng's brows were tightly locked, until now, he had no way to determine whether that "thing" had good intentions towards himself or even human beings, but it was undeniable that he had given too much help to the country in the past ten years, especially in the past six years.

Those seemingly inconspicuous pieces of knowledge, promoting China's scientific progress, it can even be said that if you leave those "knowledge fragments", maybe there will be no current China, just like after the outbreak of the war, in the face of the rapid surge of merchant orders, the shipbuilding industry desperately rushed to work overtime, electric welding technology was quietly invented, the invention of electric welding technology, so that many small shipyards have the ability to manufacture steel-hulled ships, and even last year, in Changxing Shipyard, the primary segmented manufacturing technology has also been applied.

Is it all due to the innovation of the technologists, or is it the impact? But one thing is for sure, the inventor of electric welding technology and segmented manufacturing technology is one of Zhu Yifeng's students in Wuchang, and he does not know how many "knowledge fragments" those students get from him or it in the process of learning from him, but as they deepen their research in certain fields, they will eventually sort out those "knowledge fragments" and eventually turn them into theories or products.

Was it the "fragment of knowledge" that he himself inadvertently instilled in them, or was it the indoctrination of that "thing"?

Now Zhu Yifeng can't tell the difference, as for that "thing", it has not appeared for a long time.

Could it be that he has disappeared?

Just then, there was a knock on the thick oak door of the office.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Zao, the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, asks to see you."

When the voice of the attendant came, Zhu Yifeng closed a notebook on the table, and then opened the safe in the desk.

This notebook was a gift he left to his son, and he knew very well that this knowledge in later generations would be at best comparable to ordinary middle school physics, chemistry or popular science magazines, and if it was studied at the right time, it would produce an astonishing effect, and this knowledge might even cover the whole world.

Atomic bombs, nuclear energy, rockets, satellites, electronic computers, the Internet, personal computers, ...... Wait, there are so many secrets recorded here, too much knowledge that can upend the course of human science. Aside from his brain, there was only one place where this knowledge could be properly kept, and that was the office that was guarded by the squire every day.

After closing the safe, Zhu Yifeng commanded outside the door.

"Xuan!"

Even if it is innovative, many of the old rules are still in use, after this "announcement", the door was opened, Zheng Zaoru wearing a suit walked in, after the Governor's Mansion returned to Guangdong, Zheng Zaoru, who had just been admitted to the Zhongxiang Trial, became the first batch of foreign students in Guangdong Province after several screenings, and after studying in the UK for two years, he entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, from the ambassador to France, and then to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, for him who was only forty years old, he was naturally grateful to His Majesty for his kindness.

"Minister, see Your Majesty!"

As in the past, Zheng Zao bowed respectfully and stood there with his head bowed.

"Sit!"

As a scholar, he naturally has the right to sit down, in fact, after he entered His Majesty's office, the attendant had already brought him a chair and placed it in a specific position, three meters away from His Majesty's desk. But it was not until His Majesty asked him to sit down that he thanked him again, and then sat down respectfully.

"Zheng Qing, how many times have I told you, don't be so cautious, you are a scholar, and you have the right to sit in front of me!"

His Majesty's reprimand made Zheng Zaoru shake his head and said seriously.

"The king is the king, the minister is the minister, His Majesty exempts the ministers from kneeling, which is the emperor's grace, and gives the ministers to sit on the courtesy, which is an unprecedented courtesy, and the ministers can not be favored and arrogant because ......of the emperor's grace of His Majesty."

All right...... Faced with Zheng Zaoru's answer, Zhu Yifeng only smiled slightly, sometimes, he needed the minister to tell him in this way that he was the emperor. But he didn't want to dwell on the etiquette, so he asked.

"Zheng Qing, is there any news over there?"
