Chapter 367 Science and Technology News

I stretched out my hand and motioned to Xiao Qi beside me, asking him to pour tea for Jia Yidao and Chen Yuan, and his expression became serious: "Chen Yuan, the matter about the nemesis of the cavalry is a first-class military secret of our dynasty, so it is inconvenient for me to tell you, and I ask you to keep this matter a secret." ”

Chen Yuan didn't seem to be joking when he saw me, but he didn't believe that the Mongolian cavalry would have any nemesis, but he still responded: "Your Majesty, don't worry." ”

"Well, Chen Yuan, I believe in you, before you came, I also checked your situation and knew that you were a loyal and righteous man." I smiled and continued to answer the question I had just asked, "Judging from the three points of manpower, material resources, and financial resources I mentioned, our dynasty's financial resources are superior, and our country's military strength is slightly superior, and our army's military strength with the way of restraining the cavalry is at least not weaker than that of the Mongolian army. ”

Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully, Jia seemed to be interested: "Your Majesty, there is another point, the number of Mongolians is scarce, and they can't be mentioned with my Han nation at all. ”

"Well, what Taishi said is very important, the only thing I want to correct is that the Mongols are not only facing the Han nation, but the entire Chinese nation, including all the ethnic groups in our dynasty, such as the Miao family."

Jia Rudao bowed his head slightly: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Chen Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Chen Yuan is just an official of Annan Kingdom, and the relevant direction still needs to be decided by the monarch." ”

"Chen Yuan, Chen Xuan of Annan is too upright and does things according to his own subjective consciousness, while Chen Huang is too weak, indecisive, and not a person of great talent, I have said so much to you today, and the purpose is very clear, that is, one day, when I include Annan and the southern Champa country of Annan into the territory of our dynasty, I hope you can preside over the overall situation there."

My outspoken words made Chen Yuan uneasy for a while, Chen Yuan lowered his head and drank tea silently to hide his inner apprehension,

After a while, Chen Yuan spoke: "Thank Your Majesty for your respect, but this matter is very important, and Chen will think about it more." ”

"Mr. Chen Yuan, don't worry, these times you and your mission stay in Lin'an for a few more days, by the way, look at the new atmosphere of our dynasty, I only hope you can understand, as an official should be the people, if Chen Huang can give you the people of Annan happiness, you can live and die with it, that is both loyalty and righteousness, if not, then there is no need to stick to the morality in your heart, that is a good bird and choose wood, the world, after all, it is the world of the people of the world."

"Yes, Your Majesty, Chen Yuan will think about it seriously."

"Well, Xiao Qi, let Ma Tingluan come in."

"Yes, official."

Ma Tingluan, who was waiting outside, hurriedly entered the apse with Xiao Qi: "See Your Majesty." ”

"Excuse me, Ma Aiqing, tonight on behalf of me, you will set up a banquet to ceremoniously entertain the envoy Chen Yuan and the members of the Annan delegation, and let Wen Tianxiang of the Government Council also attend."

"Yes, I obey."

"Alright, Chen Yuan, after I defeat the Mongols, you can give me an answer."

"Yes, Your Majesty, Chen Yuan retired."

For the personnel arrangements of Annan after the future, I naturally will not let Chen Huang continue to be in power, Chen Huang is the former monarch of Annan, even if he surrenders, I am only ready to let him hold some fictitious positions, such as what kind of prince and the like, so, I need to support the local strength that is loyal to me and capable, there is no doubt that Chen Yuan is a good choice, of course, all this will have to wait until after the Song and Meng Wars,

In mid to late August, the Royal Academy of Sciences has developed a new type of glass that I call glass, as well as soap, tooth powder, toothbrushes and other items, in addition to the right to sell glass by the Ministry of Commerce to organize the auction agency, soap and other basic daily necessities I have handed over to the Shifeng Commercial Bank and the Great Song Dynasty State-owned Commercial Bank, such items as soap and toothbrushes are commonplace gadgets in later generations, inconspicuous, but in this era can change people's living habits, this is the benefit of science and technology,

Although these new products are far from being compared with future generations, they have taken a big step forward.

Since August, Lin'an University began to move to a new site outside the city, the Royal Academy of Sciences moved to the original Gongyuan, since the March Science and Technology Month activities, the staff of the Academy of Sciences has expanded rapidly, many people from all over the country have gathered in Lin'an, after the audit became a member of the Academy of Sciences, most of these newcomers have a skill, although there is not much theoretical knowledge, but the hands-on ability is first-class, in the Academy of Sciences huge funds and advanced equipment support, and then through everyone's collective efforts, Of course, it will take some time for these achievements to be transformed into items that adapt to people's lives, but there is still no progress in high-end products such as steam engines.

After lunch, I left the palace with Yuan Jian and Xiao Qi, changed my mask in the Shifeng Trading House, and came to the Royal Academy of Sciences that had just been relocated, compared to the original lively scene, it was much quieter here, although the number of the Academy of Sciences had reached more than two hundred, but it was still not comparable with the number of people in the university,

Quan Jue, Shen Yiqiu, and Yun Bofei, who were waiting in the room, hurriedly saluted when they saw me coming, "I've seen Gongzi." ”

"Yes." I sat down and said, "Let's all sit down." ”

"Gongzi Xie."

"Quanjue, although this place is not big enough, it is enough for you to use, the reason why the Academy of Sciences moved to Gongyuan is because it is close to Shifeng, I can come and see it at any time, of course, the future Academy of Sciences will be divided into many branches with the subdivision of disciplines, and at that time, this place is still not enough."

"With the successive construction of several major industrial bases such as iron and coal in our country, the development will be faster and faster in the future, and the three of you, as the highest level of our scientific and technological circles, must open your mind, dare to think about what your predecessors did not dare to think, and boldly innovate, this time the folk scientists have brought a lot." Whimsical' creativity, in this regard, we must first not deny, but boldly assume that our Chinese nation has a lot of ancient legends, for example, in ancient times, there was a saying that the wind and ears can be heard, and the sound can be heard thousands of miles away, I think, you will think that this is just an impossible myth and legend, but I can tell you for sure that in the future, this can be achieved. ”

"Ahh

"You don't have to be surprised, before the ancients drilled wood to make fire, no one would have thought that there would be such a thing as fire, the so-called science, is to continue to explore the unknown territory, in addition to you to have such a consciousness, but also to instill such ideas to the people of my dynasty, the purpose of my visit this time is to tell you, taking advantage of the residual heat of the science and technology month has not disappeared, publishing a professional newspaper sponsored by the Academy of Sciences, to popularize popular science knowledge, publicize scientific views, broaden thinking and horizons, let me towards more talents, In particular, young people who are interested in this kind of science are joining in scientific exploration. ”

"Publish a newspaper." Quan Jue asked,

"Yes, this newspaper is called Science and Technology News, the content of the newspaper is jointly written by your Academy of Sciences and Lin'an University, and I will transfer two editors from the Great Song Dynasty Royal Newspaper to be responsible for typesetting and distribution."

"Yes, Childe."

"Everything needs to be continued in order to be effective, especially things like science and technology, which are both rational and emotional, Quanjue, I have informed the royal newspaper that someone will come to contact you tomorrow."

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

I took a sip of tea, took out a booklet, handed it to Quanjue, and said, "This is the information I have recently compiled about the steam engine, and you can see if it will be helpful to your research." ”

I can still remember some of the basic principles of the steam engine, and after returning from Dali, I spent several nights writing down all the information and diagrams I could remember.

The simple steam engine is mainly composed of cylinder, base, piston, crank connecting rod mechanism, slide valve distribution mechanism, speed regulating mechanism and flywheel, etc., the cylinder and the base are static parts, the new steam from the boiler enters the slide valve chamber through the main steam valve and the throttle valve, and enters the left or right side of the cylinder alternately under the control of the slide valve, so as to promote the piston movement.

Of course, the efficiency of this simple steam engine is very low,

The reason why I attach so much importance to the steam engine is because the world's first industrial revolution is marked by the widespread use of the steam engine as a power engine, the industrial revolution has a role in transforming society, more than the political revolution, after the first industrial revolution, the factory system replaced the manual workshop to become the main body of society, showing a new appearance of the capitalist social mechanism, driving the rapid evolution of the whole society, and making Britain the most advanced country in the world in one fell swoop.

At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the earliest germ of capitalism in China had already appeared, and if I could carry out an industrial revolution in my lifetime, it would make the Song Dynasty enter a new field.

After reading it, Quan Jue handed it to Shen Yiqiu and Yun Bofei,

"You have mobilized all my talents in this field to form a steam engine research group, and the Academy of Sciences is also very close to me, and I will come often in the future to discuss with you."

Shen Yiqiu nodded and said, "Yes, Childe." ”

"Mr. Shen, everything is normal in the affairs of the university."

"Childe, everything is normal, after the new students enter this year, there will be about 3,000 students in Lin'an University."

"Well, these students are my hope for the future, and the school's various supporting measures must keep up, and it is necessary to ensure the quality of learning for the students."

"Yes, please rest assured."

"Bo Fei, what about the situation of the Gunpowder Superintendent."

"Childe, the production speed of muskets has been improved, we estimate that by next year, it should be able to produce 20,000 pieces per year, and the artillery has also made a great breakthrough with the help of Wanyan, next year's plan is to produce 30 to 50 guns per month, and the output of throwing grenades is estimated to reach 1,500 pieces per month, at present, I and Wanyan, Zhao Yuncong and others are developing the next generation of musket artillery, and Chen Dongping is in charge of the expansion of the arsenal."

"Okay, step up the research and development, in addition, although the formula of gunpowder is given to you by me, you can also continue to develop its proportion, or add other additives to make more powerful and smaller gunpowder, Mr. Shen, Quanjue, you fully cooperate here."

"Childe, my subordinates understand."

"I told Chen Yuan, the envoy of Annan, a few days ago, that the Mongolian cavalry already has a nemesis, and if you work harder, I will definitely let the invincible Mongolian iron cavalry fall under the guns of our Great Song Dynasty."

After leaving the Academy of Sciences, I asked Xiao Qi to inform Fang Ling, Wen Zhang, Zhang Quanyi, and Tian Xiuyan to have dinner together at the Shifeng Commercial Bank, and I was going to tell them that they would rush to Longhu Mountain to watch the discussion before September 9.
