Song Yingxing really showed extraordinary talent in learning, and everything he had seen, whether it was images or words, could be directly memorized.

This kind of unforgettable person has a virtual screen in front of his eyes, and everything they have seen can appear on the screen.

In the 21st century, there are about 1,000 people in the world who have such ability, and most of them have come into contact with the Tao Te Ching, which is the most printed religious book in addition to the Bible overseas, and is known as a textbook of human behavior.

Because of the existence of such people, there is a phenomenon of 'reciting backwards', and they actually look at that screen and read it backwards.

Of course, memory and comprehension are different, and learning is divided into two steps: memory and learning.

But this kind of memory ability has brought great convenience to Song Yingxing's charging, he is immersed in learning every day, there is nothing he can't remember, Song Yingxing only needs to understand those knowledge.

After visiting various workshops and advanced technology, as well as coming into contact with the textbooks of physics, chemistry and mathematics written by Zhao Yan, Song Yingxing knew what the real heavenly craftsmanship was, as long as he learned these knowledge, he could slowly transfer them to production, especially the textile machinery and steam engine left him the most impressive.

Song Yingxing studied very hard every day, and Song Yingxing's crazy improvement in science directly alarmed Zhao Yan, who was the fastest improving student in the history of the university.

For this reason, Zhao Yan began to run to teach him in person, and Song Yingxing could feel that Zhao Yan valued him.

The so-called soldier dies for his confidant.

Zhao Yan was also very surprised by Song Yingxing's unforgettable vision, such superpowers can often be seen in historical records, but he always had a half-believing attitude before.

"Chang Gung, how can I turn on such an ability?" After Zhao Yan had an in-depth understanding of this superpower, he asked Song Yingxing.

"The students also opened it unintentionally, but I think it has something to do with the Tao Te Ching and Guan Xue." Song Yingxing replied, Zhao Yan nodded clearly, did not go into further discussion of this issue, but continued to teach Song Yingxing a lesson.

For Zhao Yan, although this kind of thing exists, it is too ethereal to want people to have this ability universally, and at the same time, he doesn't believe in Song Yingxing's answer.

Zhao Yan's knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry is not very in-depth, he only knows some systematic and relatively shallow things, and he has reached the level of high school textbooks.

Those more advanced things have to be studied by others, and Zhao Yan is not a qualified teacher, and he does not have so much time to attend classes.

Therefore, Song Yingxing's arrival made him see the possibility of withdrawing, as long as Song Yingxing learned the mathematics, physics and chemistry knowledge he knew, he would not have to take these basic courses in person in the future, just let Song Yingxing take this position, Zhao Yan already planned to give Song Yingxing a position as vice minister of education.

Because of the high scholarship stimulus given by Zhao Yan and the high reward for research results, the Academy of Science and Technology is immersed in a strong curiosity.

They are constantly learning and verifying the knowledge and theories given by Zhao Yan, and constantly trying to apply this knowledge to practice.

A researcher named Li Yuan used pyromanganese ore (containing manganese dioxide) and concentrated hydrochloric acid to obtain chlorine gas for the first time, and then mixed bauxite, charcoal, and table salt, and heated it to obtain NaCl and Alcl double salts after entering chlorine gas, and then fused this double salt with excess sodium to obtain metal aluminum.

Aluminium is the third most metallic element on the surface of the bottom shell, with a metallic luster similar to that of silver.

Under the guidance of Zhao Yan, the Institute of Science and Technology also manufactured a thermos flask, the principle of the thermos pot is extremely simple, the main body is the glass, the glass is blown into a double layer, the inside is pumped into a vacuum, and then the silver is plated inside.

Because it is composed of two glass bottles inside and outside, the two are connected into one at the bottle mouth, and the gap between the two bottle walls is drawn into a vacuum to weaken the thermal convection, and the surface of the glass bottle wall is plated with a bright silver film to reflect infrared heat radiation. When the inside of the bottle is high, the heat energy of the contents does not radiate outward; When the temperature inside the bottle is low, the heat energy outside the bottle does not radiate to the bottle, and the thermos bottle effectively controls the three ways of heat transfer: conduction, heat convection and radiation.

The thermos flask can not only be used to provide all kinds of research, but it is also a must-have for daily life, and the glass factory has added a new product.

The happiest person is Zhao Quan, and the commercial bank has sold new products, all of which are monopolies.

Aluminum can be used to make aluminum pots, aluminum bowls and other things, the heat transfer effect is much better than iron pots, and the weight is lighter, and it is not so easy to rust.

The thermos flask is a very convenient thing, after having the thermos flask, it is very convenient for people to make tea, as long as the price is cheap enough, it can be popularized to the people's homes.

However, Zhao Yan did not allow the sale of pots and pans made of aluminum in China, because aluminum is harmful to the human body, and aluminum products used in food cooking and food packaging are only allowed to be produced as maritime trade products.

…… Although the Chinese New Year is approaching, all parts of the country are busy, especially the textile mills, although they are in a state of shutdown during the autumn and winter when the river flow drops, there is still a lot to do.

First of all, it is necessary to deal with the cotton purchased from all over the country, especially this year, the cotton purchased is relatively large, and the cotton in Henan and Shandong, the east and west prefectures are almost completely purchased by the commercial banks, and the cotton in the south is also not spared, and the personnel of the commercial banks have swept the cotton-producing areas in the south over and over again.

As soon as the cotton was picked, it was transported by the merchant houses through the land and water routes, and when the cotton was first picked, few merchants came to buy the cotton, because it took some time for the cotton farmers to process the seeds.

Cotton can generally be picked three or five ways, some cotton farmers pick the cotton, even to deal with the previous year, or even a year can not be disposed of, to leave it for the second year for processing.

Therefore, there is cotton to buy all year round, and people who go early may not be able to buy processed cotton, but the textile mill does not follow common sense, and they also want the cotton that has just been picked, so it is naturally what cotton farmers are willing to see.

Because the cotton picked in the past needs to be processed by itself, if the manpower is not enough, the cotton cannot be planted too much, and the yield is limited by population factors.

And without this constraint, cotton can be planted as much cotton as possible. Shandong's eastern and western prefectures were stimulated by this, and cotton production soared. Once the staff of Jimin Commercial Bank went to buy cotton, the vast majority of cotton farmers chose to sell it immediately and exchange it directly for cash.

After the cotton is transported to Shandong, the workers of the textile mill will use the cotton binding machine to peel the cotton seeds during the shutdown period, not only the workers of the textile factory, but also the old and the weak and women who have free time will also take a cotton binding machine back to peel the cotton seeds to earn some wages.

A simple cotton tie machine can't stop the momentum of diffusion at all, because the principle of this kind of thing is too simple, and it is very simple to manufacture.

It's just that the speed of transmission is not so fast, and at this stage that has not yet spread, those cloth merchants are powerless to fight this kind of chaotic fist.

To put it seriously, Jimin Commercial Bank is seriously disrupting the market order.

The stripped cottonseeds are generally used to extract oil and then used as oil lamps. Cotton oil is naturally not edible, eating will cut off offspring, cotton oil contains a strong spermicidal function, cottonseed cake is used to fertilize.

With the increase of textile experience, textile mills pay more attention to the pre-treatment of cotton, and cotton with different textures is stored separately, and then matched when weaving to increase the overall quality.

The better the quality, the higher the selling price.

Next year the textile mill has a capital of fifteen million, and there is almost no backlog of cotton cloth at the moment! Because the cotton cloth shipped out by the trading house was sold out almost immediately, there was no backlog problem at all.

However, there was a large backlog of cotton yarn, because the trading houses no longer supplied cotton yarn to the south, but let the textile mills spin their own cotton cloth.

This winter is also a busy time for rivers in Shandong, and many people are busy setting up hydraulic looms to meet next year's production needs.

Due to Zhao Yanxiong's annexation of Shandong, the yarn mills and weaving mills of textile mills are generally concentrated in the east and west lines, with the east line being transported by sea and the west line taking the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, but most of the textile mills began to move to the west line.

Because not long ago, there was an incident that made Zhao Yan very angry, a cotton boat from Songjiang was robbed by pirates on the way.

Although the loss is not too great, Zhao Yanyan, who lacks ships, can not be angry! However, the action of revenge has also begun, the First Fleet has set off a month ago, but Zhao Yan is still unclear about the battle situation of the First Fleet, in this era of underdeveloped information transmission methods, everything is a long wait.

…… It is said that Cao Li led a fleet of seven ships to launch a raid on the east coast of the Americas again, but this time Cao Li continued to sail north under the leadership of a Spanish guide.

The temperature was getting colder, and at nine o'clock in August, they made it to Newfoundland, and when Cao Li's fleet sailed to Newfoundland, they saw swarms of fishing boats working through the rough waves.

What stunned Cao Li was that he saw a large area of silver light in the sea area of Newfoundland Island, and fish were surging in the sea, like the turbulent waves.

"That'...... Is that...... Fish? How are there so many~! Cao Li was dumbfounded, and suddenly shouted to the person: "Map." ”

Yang Yichuan hurriedly took out the carefully stored map, which was a map drawn by Zhao Yan, which was a little crooked and not very accurate.

"Isn't it here?" Cao Li pointed to Newfoundland on the map and asked, and the positioning officer of the fleet hurriedly measured it with a sextant.

"Report to the Commander, this is the island."

"Grandma's, why are there so many fish, more than Zhoushan's fish." Yang Yichuan looked at the surging fish, and rarely burst into a foul mouth, "You can go ashore when you step on the fish~!" ”

"My lord said that there is a fishing ground in North America and South America, and we have positioned the fishing ground in South America, but the fish there cannot be eaten, and can only be used to make fishmeal, and there is no development value at present, and the fishing ground in North America is estimated to be here." Cao Li thought for a moment and then said.

"It's a pity that such a rich fishing ground is occupied by the Xiyi people, and this place will belong to the Empire." Yang Yichuan looked at this sea area, and his eyes showed fanaticism.

The Newfoundland Fishing Grounds, one of the four largest fisheries in the world, produced an endless supply of cod, which later perished due to the frenzied fishing of large trawlers.

All the officers and men of the American Fleet who arrived in Newfoundland looked at this magnificent school of cod, and their eyes showed a fanatical ** - the rich land and sea will belong to the Empire!
