Chapter 13: Embark on the Way Home

After all, there is a foundation in his previous life to support it, if there are still some language and cultural things to adapt to in elementary and middle school before, then when Chen Zeyu comes to MIT, at this time, he can be said to have completely adapted to everything around him.

Chen Zeyu usually spends a lot of time in the school library, looking for all kinds of materials he needs, the library of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is complete with all kinds of materials, Chen Zeyu takes everything he needs into the space and directly stores it in his laptop hard drive after shooting.

Usually when he has time, Chen Zeyu began to classify and sort out in the same way, and all the things that can be realized in this era and help the most with realistic plans have been picked out by him.

Chen Zeyu did not come here to gild, but really planned to use this college time to completely connect the technology of his previous life with this era.

Perhaps because of his superhuman memory and logical thinking ability, Chen Zeyu began to learn knowledge outside of his major because of his physical advantages, and his courses include: Latin, French and History, Analytic Geometry, Physics, Chemistry, Basic Drawing, Mathematics (Spherical Trigonometry), Basic Mechanics, Physical Geography, Botany, Economics, Cartography and Surveying, Graphic Geometry, French, Topography, Field Engineering, Surveying Railway Routes, Calculating Subgrade Earthworks, Civil Engineering, Rock Drilling, Geology, Mining and Metallurgy, and Dynamics, basic mechanics, steam engines, days, hydraulics and much more.

In just one and a half years, Chen Zeyu completed all the bachelor's programs in metallurgy at MIT and received his diploma with honors, after which Chen Zeyu continued to study at MIT's graduate school.

When the time came to a ** zero year, an economic crisis broke out in the United States, although the spread was not widespread, and it did not affect the lives of ordinary people, but the stock market was still volatile, and Chen Zeyu took advantage of this time to make a big deal.

During this time in school, Chen Zeyu was introduced by Rong Hong, who he met by chance, and also met two other "traitor students" from the Qing Dynasty, Deng Shicong and Kuang Jingyang, who were in their twenties, both of whom were one of the first three batches of young children who were sent to study abroad by the Qing Zheng Axe, lived in the United States for nearly ten years, and finally were admitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Unlike the Rong Kui brother I met a few years ago, both of them came to Massachusetts from China to continue their studies after returning to China, and life was very embarrassing at this time. Chen Zeyu was very sympathetic to their plight and invited them to stay in his hotel in Boston, where Deng Shicong is now a graduate student at MIT metallurgy, like Chen Zeyu, and Kwong Jingyang is a chemical engineering major.

Because he was a chemical engineering major in his previous life, he got along very well with each other, and after a few shows, Kwong Jingyang was deeply shocked by the breadth of Chen Zeyu's knowledge.

Therefore, as soon as he had time, he ran over to ask Chen Zeyu for advice, and he benefited a lot in a short time.

Of course, for Chen Zeyu to enter graduate school in Massachusetts at such a young age, the two have become "numb" after a long time.

In the long time they got along, Chen Zeyu slightly revealed to the two the idea of overthrowing the Qing court regime and establishing a new Chinese national republican regime. This is also what Chen Zeyu said when he saw that they had already cut off their braids, and as expected, the two seemed to have become accustomed to this kind of remarks. Originally, it was not that he disagreed with Chen Zeyu's idea, but he felt that he might not have such ability.

Now that such an anomaly as Chen Zeyu has emerged, he also showed his heart at the first time.

In April 1894, when Chen Zeyu had just turned 14 years old, he once again created the miracle of a genius boy at MIT.

When Chen Zeyu came to college at the age of only 11, various colleges at MIT expressed strong concern. Unexpectedly, in less than three years, this Chinese teenager created a miracle again, and obtained a double master's degree in metallurgy and chemical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in advance with excellent results in various scientific fields.

Not only that, Chen Zeyu's graduation thesis, the publication of the heap-leaching carbon slurry combined metallurgical process, even caused a big shock in the major precious metal smelting company groups in the United States. Chen's paper redefines the smelting of precious metals in the past, especially gold, and provides practical smelting technology solutions, which can regain the value of many low-grade gold mines that have been abandoned in the past.

You must know that this technology was only proposed in the 20th century in the original time and space, and now Chen Zeyu has published it as his master's thesis in metallurgy, and the sensation caused can be imagined.

Of course, Chen Zeyu had already applied for patents around the world before he published it. Major precious metal mining and mineral companies in Europe and the United States have come to negotiate the purchase of patents and production technologies.

For this alone, Chen Zeyu has made a lot of money, and he can't use it for the time being anyway, so why not make a big profit first.

A few months later, Deng Shicong and Kwong Jingyang, two of Chen Zeyu's "tenants", also graduated from MIT in turn, and both of them were ready to return to China directly, but under Chen Zeyu's "strong invitation", the two still decided to go to his uncle's Luzon territory with their little brother to "visit".

In July 1891, Chen Zeyu and everyone got on a steamer bound for Sizhejiang in the Philippines, of course, Chen Zeyu did not go back empty-handed, followed by a fleet of seven freighters loaded with all kinds of machinery and equipment.

Since Chen Zeyu came to North America, this kind of fleet between San Francisco and Luzon has had such a fleet every season.

Since he has decided the path he wants to take, then some of the means are understandable, Chen Zeyu used his super power to steal all kinds of equipment and design drawings all over the United States, even some shipyard facilities, of course, he also knows how to disperse. The stolen things are naturally kept in their own space, and sometimes it takes some means to do something.

In addition, it is also because of Chen Zeyu's space size limitations, no matter how convenient it is, after all, there is only a range of five hectares, Chen Zeyu can only try to pick some more valuable targets, Chen Zeyu looked at these achievements in the space and smiled happily. Some people may think that it is redundant, but the truth is quite the opposite.

For example, the Philippines, where his uncle Chen Yanyou is located, is actually not a small resource, but because of the lack of machinery, what he had to do in the past will always be controlled by others. It's like Chen Zeyu casually bought some gun-making equipment in the United States, but when you take these machines to the Philippines, they are a pile of scrap metal, because you don't have all kinds of qualified steel raw materials.

My uncle's shipyard in Sizhejiang is quite large, especially after adding more than a dozen large steel docks in recent years, even if you want to build a 10,000-ton cargo ship, but in addition to the engine, you also have to steel. Although steam engines were made in-house in the past, most of the parts for the steam engine, except for a limited number of them, were purchased from outside.

Not to mention the steel required to build steel ships, and there is still no decent ironworks in the entire South Seas.

No, it should be said that in this era, except for the eastern United States and Europe, all over the world, especially the Pacific coast, there is not a single large-scale steel company. At this time, even the British colonies in the Indian Ocean had to bring in local raw materials from land and sea to build railways. On the Asian side, there was the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant, which was built under the auspices of Zhang Zhidong of the Qing Dynasty, and the Hachiman Iron and Steel Works, which was built with the power of the United Kingdom, but at this time, both were also limited by raw materials, and the steel built was not only scarce, but also far more expensive than the steel imported from Europe, and the degree of loss of production costs can be imagined.

And without a steel plant, without a steam engine factory, all development must be constrained.

On the one hand, the initial investment in these basic areas of heavy industry is extremely large, and on the other hand, European countries have set threshold restrictions on many of these aspects. Sometimes even if you have the money to buy, but if you want to get these high-tonnage pressure forging machines, all kinds of high-precision industrial machine tools, the other party will rarely allow it, and there are such transactions are generally useless goods eliminated by the other party's industrial upgrading.

In this time and space, the Qing Dynasty and the United States, even the United States, have been doing this kind of thing. The difference is that the Qing Kingdom is completely a plate of loose sand, with a hammer in the east and a stick in the west. Although it was poor and weak in the early days, it has always been a heavy industry base with the strength of a country.

In a way, a large part of the reason why the United States has been able to read is because of the interference of the French. If it weren't for the fact that the French had opened up to the American readers in all aspects of industry, the United States would not have been able to hold on to it, and the significance of a group of armed bandits and a group of armed bandits capable of producing their own arms was self-evident to the British North American colonial army.

Why did all the armed forces of the United States have a variety of weapons in the early days of reading, but after several defeats, the equipment began to be unified. It is not for nothing that the construction of railroads in the United States was almost invisible in the early nineteenth century, but then it continued to spread throughout North America even under the hostile policy of Britain.

Now, Chen Zeyu's space is filled with various types of industrial machine tools and various high-precision forging presses, and as for the rear fleet, it is completely for Chen Zeyu's space to cover up. You can't come then, just take out a few machines for nothing in two days, even if it's a God's golden finger, you have to cover it up a little.

When it was just getting dark. The lookout on the steamer had already seen the destination, and with a loud trumpet, all those who had just gotten up swelled up in ecstasy—they had gone home.

Everyone poured onto the deck, only to see a few docks in the distance, which was the Sizhejiang Port in Luzon.

Several ships entered the port of Sizhejiang, and Deng Shicong, Kwong Jingyang, and other passengers who had just arrived here looked at this port city that had gradually prospered with curiosity.

Although several of the docks have just been built, they are no less capable of accommodating ships than the Port of San Francisco in the United States, and they are equipped with machinery for unloading cargo, many of which have never been seen elsewhere in style, and the port's warehouses are large enough to accommodate all the cargo. Compared to six years ago, a large number of cargo ships are unloaded here every day, storing large quantities of goods in the warehouses of the docks. Around the port and wharf, a thriving town of tens of thousands of people, most of whom were families of workers working for the Tan shipyard, gradually formed.

Now Sizhejiang has gradually formed its own two urban districts - the port area near the dock and the central city centered on the original Chinese residence, but the area where their villas are located is still quite empty, after all, Chen did not want to live in a noisy place when planning.

On the whole, compared with the past Sizhejiang, this land is now countless times more lively. In addition, with Sizhejiang as the center, countless Chinese have reclaimed a large amount of wasteland around it, and all kinds of crops are planted everywhere, among which there are many South American rubber trees that Chen Zeyu vigorously promoted the planting, which is equivalent to increasing the strategic reserves of Chen's chaebol in the future.

In the original time and space, the Far Southeast Ocean was first introduced by British colonists from Brazil in the late 19th century to try to grow rubber in the Indo-Burmese region. Chen Zeyu's move can be regarded as changing history a little, but I don't know where the breeze from the butterfly's wings will cause a storm again.

On August 3, Chen Zeyu and everyone finally returned to the Sizhe family villa in Luzon.

"Hanyin! My baby, great, you're finally back! Chen Zeyu accepted a hug and kiss from his aunt with a smile. Aunt Helen! You're still so pretty! Chen Zeyu patted Helen's ass.

"Oh! It's so glad you say that! "Welcome home!" Then Chen Zeyu hugged his uncle, uncle housekeeper and others one by one.

"I miss you too" Chen Zeyu sighed silently in his heart, and then Chen Zeyu introduced his two friends to his family - "This is my friend in Massachusetts, Deng Shicong!" "This is also my friend, named Kwong Jingyang" After everyone introduced themselves one by one, my uncle pulled Chen Zeyu and the others and began to talk......

During the few years that Chen Zeyu went to school, the development of Sizhejiang did not stop.

With the huge financial support of the Chan Avalanche Group, the entire Philippine archipelago has now begun to populate with the Chan family's mines and rubber plantations. In addition, all kinds of infrastructure have been left behind, and in the eyes of Westerners, the eastern part of Luzon, with Sizhejiang as the center, is now full of magic.

Originally, it was still a tidal flat, forest and wasteland, but in the blink of an eye, it was already full of high-rise buildings, birds and flowers everywhere, the only deficiency was the noise in those buildings from time to time, but these were vigorous voices in Chen Zeyu's ears.

Of course, the armed forces that Chen Zeyu attaches the most importance to have not relaxed. Today, there are more than 10,000 Chinese full-time armed personnel belonging to the Chen Avalanche group scattered all over the Philippines, and the non-full-time armed personnel who usually only receive training are even more innumerable.

I didn't want to say it, but I don't know if a certain reader is too interested, and he actually chatted with the Sprinkle family on MSN about one bug after another. Although I can't guarantee that there are no mistakes, except for a few gold fingers that I opened before, on the whole I dare to say that the logic is passable. You have been clamoring that the previous pig's foot weapon patent was too profitable, and I will give you a popular science education here. You say that the cost of the weapon patent I set for the protagonist is too high and unrealistic, I don't know what the reader thinks, but as far as I know, if I have to make a comparison, the history of 1871 Henry. The Martini rifle invented by Martini was adopted by several British arms factories and was paid a patent fee of eight shillings each. There are examples of this in the historical records of the British Museum, and since you are so energetic, you might as well go through it. In the British currency, one pound sterling is equal to twelve shillings, and eight shillings is two-thirds of the pound sterling. Although the exchange rate between Britain and the United States was in a period of decline throughout the nineteenth century, the exchange rate between the US dollar and the British pound was well documented before 88 years ago at about 1:5, or 8 shillings, or 3. 3333… U.S. dollars, I just set a three dollars, I really don't know where it is expensive, maybe this reader didn't figure out the concept of the dollar at that time, if more than ten years later, what you said may be true. Finally, I may not be very good at writing, but don't underestimate my requirements for logical rigor in my work. Until the end of the nineteenth century, the dollar was far less popular than the British pound in the world, and the British dollar was the real gold dollar. You're also right, I did play with tickets, but I was confident that I would write this book well.
