Chapter 487: Academy of Sciences

Zhang Chu recruited a large number of disaster victims from Shanxi and Shaanxi to set up farms outside the Guan, and then he began to worry about the food problem of these people, although no one will starve to death, but it is not a way to go on in the long run. The ultimate solution www.biquge.info is to increase crop yields.

At this time, the soldiers in the snow reported that the person Zhang Chu was looking for had been found, and this person was Song Yingxing, a famous scientist in history.

Song Yingxing was not very famous at this time, on the contrary, he was very unsatisfactory on the road of studying and becoming an official, he participated in the imperial examination many times and did not reach the first, and finally Song Yingxing was only a teacher in Fenyi County, Yuanzhou Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, which is equivalent to a principal of the county middle school, but it will not be long before he publishes and distributes his famous masterpiece "Tiangong Kaiwu", "Tiangong Kaiwu" has a total of three volumes and eighteen articles, including agriculture, handicrafts, such as machinery, bricks, ceramics, sulfur, candles, paper, weapons, gunpowder, textiles, dyeing, salt making, Coal mining, oil extraction and other production technology, is the world's first comprehensive work on agriculture and handicraft production, is a comprehensive scientific and technological work in ancient China, is an encyclopedic work, foreign scholars call it "China's 17th century craft encyclopedia".

Song Yingxing was not very enthusiastic about the people sent by Zhang Chu to invite him. Scholars have never had a good impression of martial artists, and even Song Yingxing, an outlier among scholars who are more likely to be than books, doesn't think that there will be any development if he follows a general soldier who was born as an anti-thief.

For this point, Zhang Chu has long been prepared. When a physics textbook of the junior high school of the Security Army was placed in front of Song Yingxing, Song Yingxing was immediately attracted after reading it briefly. And when he heard that this book was written by Zhang Chu, and he had a more advanced high school textbook there, Song Yingxing was not calm. Immediately packed up his things and the people who came to invite him embarked on the road north to Liaodong.

Song Yingxing couldn't care about the bitter cold in the north, nor did he care about the flames of war. As the old saying goes: "If you hear the Tao, you can die at night." If you can understand the profound knowledge written by Zhang Chu, it is worth enduring some hardships and taking some risks.

Zhang Chu specially ran back to Lushun to pick up Song Yingxing, and Sun Yuanhua and Tang Ruowang also arrived here at the same time. Now that Emperor Chongzhen is dead, Sun Yuanhua, the criminal minister of the Ming Dynasty, can resurrect the once dead.

In the past two years, Zhang Chuke has not let Sun Yuan live a leisurely life incognito. Sun Yuanhua was arranged by Zhang Chu to be in charge of the development and improvement of artillery in the arsenal. This time, I came to see Zhang Chuyi to build a new arsenal in the northeast region, and at the same time, I also came to report the good news to Zhang Chu, and the new artillery system can be put into practice.

Zhang Chu has only seen the basic principles of this new type of artillery system and retreat on the forum, but it is difficult to really implement it, but Sun Yuanhua must not be an ordinary person, Zhang Chu opened a window for him, and he gave Zhang Chu a new world.

In the past two years, Sun Yuanhua has overcome one difficulty after another from materials to technology, and finally succeeded in testing artillery that can be used in actual combat.

The reason why Zhang Chu and Sun Yuanhua spent so much energy on the artillery system and retreat machine was because they knew the important role of this invention in the war, not to mention that if the artillery on the battleship arranged this kind of control and retreat machine, the artillery could be quickly reset after firing, and the rate of fire of the artillery could be increased several times, and the power of a gun was equivalent to several in the past, and the quickly reset artillery did not have much displacement, and it was very convenient to correct the parameters of artillery shooting, which would make the artillery more accurate. Security warships equipped with such artillery will have few rivals on the seas today.

Tang Ruowang went to Shanxi with a heart to preach the world, but in the end he was moved by Zhang Chu's various magical ideas and spent more energy on developing novel machinery. This time he also brought a batch of strategic materials to Zhang Chu, the boxes are his newly manufactured telescopes, Zhang Chu's people have been burning silver for many years to conduct experiments, and recently made transparent glass, Zhang Chu immediately asked Tang Ruowang to use this batch of glass to try to make telescopes, with transparent glass to make telescopes is not a difficult thing for Tang Ruowang, so he quickly made a batch of telescopes, and after completion, he and Sun Yuanhua went to Lushun to send them to Zhang Chu.

Song Yingxing arrived in Lushun by boat and was shocked by everything here before he went ashore, and the port was full of all kinds of ships, some of which were very large and Song Yingxing had never seen before.

The people who followed Song Yingxing introduced him to him, and he learned that it was a warship of the security army. Other small boats are a large number of cargo ships carrying grain and some fishing boats that go out to sea to fish. In order to solve the problem of food for the people in Northeast China, Zhang Chu not only built a ship to transport grain from the south of the Yangtze River, but also built a large number of fishing boats to go to the sea to fish. It can be regarded as trying to make the victims have a bite to eat.

Song Yingxing was very relieved after hearing this, he thought that most of the generals were vulgar people, but he didn't expect that this Zhang Chu not only knew a lot of advanced knowledge, but also was a kind-hearted person. I'm thinking about how to keep the victims alive.

Song Yingxing walked down the dock of the sea boat and saw Zhang Chu and Sun Yuanhua who came to pick him up, Song Qingxing was first shocked by Zhang Chu's youth, originally he thought that people with so much knowledge should be old people who have read books for many years, but Zhang Chu is only in his twenties, even if he starts learning from his mother's womb, how much can he learn.

What shocked him even more was that he actually met Sun Yuanhua, the man who had been declared dead. Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua were both giants in science at this time.

Song Yingxing is also a person who is obsessed with science and technology, and a few days ago he was sad about the loss of characters like Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua, but he didn't expect Sun Yuanhua to be able to escape death this time.

Zhang Chu took Song Yingxing to his general yamen, and did not have too much politeness with him, but directly said his thoughts.

According to Zhang Chu's idea, he will open the Academy of Sciences of the Security Army in Lushun. This dean was naturally served by Sun Yuanhua, and Song Yingxing assisted Sun Yuanhua as his assistant.

"Do you think my idea will work?" Zhang Chu asked everyone.

"It is necessary to develop science, but it is very expensive to carry out scientific exploration, and there is a possibility of failure." Song Yingxing reminded.

"No matter how much money you spend and how many failures you experience, you must also promote the development of science and technology." Zhang Chu comes from the future and knows that the level of science and technology will determine the fate of a country.

"Thank you for your support of scientific research." Song Yingxing hurriedly said.

Zhang Chu is a man who does what he says. It didn't take long for the Academy of Sciences to choose a site and start construction. In order to ensure the advancement and convenience of the Academy of Sciences, Zhang Chu adopted many new construction technologies in the construction. Even the cement and steel bars that are usually used to build the castle were brought over, and a three-story building of the Academy of Sciences was built according to Zhang Chu's drawings.

Sun Yuanhua and Song Yingxing were very excited, and now they had a place to do their studies quietly.

But Zhang Chu didn't want the two of them to do research here with peace of mind, but wanted them to solve the problem of farmers farming and study how to increase grain production. (To be continued.) )
