Zhao Zhen returned to the palace to recruit Zhang Zhibai, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, to hand him the distribution map of various mines, and ordered the immediate excavation of ore and the construction of the industrial park. In order to facilitate the transportation of ore, or water or land transportation, the relevant roads are in full swing.

Due to Zhao Zhen's more straightforward explanation, it didn't take much time for the general to complete the production of the first grenade. Zhao Zhen personally went to participate in the trial experiment, the effect is not much different from what he imagined, the trained soldiers can throw forty or fifty meters, and the effective killing radius is almost ten meters, even if it is wearing armor at five meters or the like, it may only be able to resist at close range only the infantry armor of the Song Dynasty can resist at close range, provided that the people inside are not shocked to death.

Later, Zhao Zhen felt Duan Xin's contribution to firearms, and specially named him Leibo, hereditary replacement, as the second lucky person to win this honor, which shook the government and the opposition for a while, and also attracted more people with ideas and abilities to come to the capital to try to break into Zhao Zhen's field of vision.

Zhao Zhen still doesn't know these situations at the moment, and he is still having a headache for the replacement candidate, after all, talents who understand invention and creation and science in this era are too rare, and his friends are too young to control such an important department, and the famous Shen Kuo Su Song and others in later generations are either not born yet, or are still breastfeeding.

After thinking hard, Zhao Zhen finally remembered the three masters of the Royal Academy, and then he showed a knowing smile.

Bi Sheng, one of the "Three Heroes", already has a job to do, so he won't consider it for the time being. The rest of Yan Su and Zeng Gongliang are all famous figures in history, especially Yan Su is a Jinshi from the Eight Classics. Originally, Zeng Gongliang was admitted to the imperial examination in the second year of Tiansheng in history, but due to the appearance of Zhao Zhen, there is no plan to hold the imperial examination at this moment, so he is still only a white body, but this does not affect his ability.

Yan Su (991-1040) was a painter and scientist in the Northern Song Dynasty. The word Muzhi, a native of Qingzhou (now Yidu, Shandong). Less lonely and poor, ingenious and extraordinary, Zhenzong Dazhong Xiangfu years (1014) Jinshi, official to Longtu Pavilion straight bachelor, known as "Yanlongtu". Knowledgeable, proficient in astrophysics, there are compass cars, drums, lotus drains and other instruments of the creation and invention, author of "Treatise on the Tides", drawing the "Tide Chart" to illustrate the principle of tides. He is good at painting poetry, and he is a pioneer of literati painting. This is the parity of Yansu in later history, although it is very brief, but the lotus drain and the "Sea Tide Map" are enough to show how good he was in the Song Dynasty.

Zeng Gongliang is actually slightly inferior to Yansu, and his reputation in history is better than Yansu, mainly because he and Ding Du Chengzhi compiled the "General Essentials of the Wujing", which was the first officially compiled encyclopedia of military science in ancient China. It can be said that it is this "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" that has won him a great reputation, but since he is known as the Northern Song Dynasty military expert, Zhao Zhen will certainly not waste him.

In 1015 A.D., the second year of Tiansheng, Emperor Renzong of Song pondered and meditated in the vertical arch hall for a day, if there was something gained, he wrote hard, and left Mobao said: "The Great Song Dynasty Royal Research Institute".

The next day, under the holy decree, he was promoted to the Great Song Dynasty Royal Research Institute, independent of the four academies and six departments, and was responsible for research. Bai Jinshi Yansu was appointed as the Governor of the Imperial Academy, a bachelor of Baowen Pavilion, and served as the President of the Royal Academy, and posthumously conferred the title of Honorary President of the Royal Academy. The Royal Academy temporarily consists of the Firearms Division, the Machinery Division, the Agriculture Division, the Industry Division, the Medicine Division, and the Materials Division. Changed the name of Qin Tianjian to Qin Tiansi, and merged it into the Royal Academy, in charge of astronomical and geographical research. Zeng Gongliang, Wang Shenli, Chen Xinhua, Zhang Qirui, Xiang Zhongtian, Yang Sien, Li Xingxiu, Wu Ren, Xie Xinran and Ding Du were transferred to the Royal Academy.

Since Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, there are many monsters, and the people are no stranger to this, as long as it does not affect everyone's life, they will all be hehe, but for some people who have a heart, it is not necessarily true. Of course, for those who are not good at the way of the imperial examination, but only love the art of Gewu, Zhao Zhen's move undoubtedly pointed out a bright road for them, so that they can see that there is another way to get ahead in addition to the imperial examination, so these people are slowly gathering to the Jingshi.

Unlike these people, the one in a corner of Shandong is both happy and depressed. I am glad that Zhao Zhenjing has made his "stormy" plan easier, and I am depressed that the "deviant and apostasy" of the saint is intensifying, and I deeply feel that the burden on my shoulders is getting heavier and heavier.

Subsequently, Zhao Zhen convened the relevant officials of the Royal Research Institute in the Vertical Arch Hall to discuss the relevant matters of the Research Institute.

"The reason why you are here today is because of the Royal Academy, and I am not just here to change my name. The institute aims to study its reasoning and study its poverty, conduct in-depth research on daily news, grasp its principles, and carry forward its use. I have gathered all of you today, all because you have excelled in a certain aspect, and I hope that you will make good use of them in the future and contribute to the prosperity of my Great Song Dynasty! "Although the Chinese civilization has a long history and has made extensive use of the power of nature, later generations have recognized that the Chinese civilization has made little contribution to the progress of human science and technology. The root of this lies in the fact that the ancient sages only liked to use a lot of natural manifestations and did not seek their roots, and instead of forming a set of effective theories, they evolved into a skill of teaching by word and deed. This is also the biggest sorrow in Zhao Zhen's technical control, he hopes to change the future from now on......

"Obey the holy decree!"

"Maybe there are still some of you who disdain this, thinking that it is just so, then you are very wrong, I say a responsible word, your future achievements will greatly affect the fate of my Great Song, do not despise it!"

"Wait for you to understand!"

"I am talking so much now, so I am going to say something real, as we all know, I am short of war horses, and I am unable to form a cavalry of scale. Although our soldiers had the best armor of swords, guns and armor, they could not resist the onslaught of the enemy's cavalry, and they were lucky enough to defeat but were unable to pursue, and they were defeated but did not even have a chance to run. But since this situation has been in this situation, since Taizu, has anyone thought about improving weapons for decades? When I was still the crown prince, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I instructed the general to make appropriate improvements to the bow and crossbow to increase its power", and at the same time improve the production method and greatly increase the output. In this way, I formed a new army with these crossbows, and led them to victory over the same number of party cavalry, and although they were not elite soldiers, have you ever seen such a victory? ”

"The emperor's martial arts are world-famous, and the ministers admire him!"

"This has nothing to do with whether my martial arts are covered or not, and you must have all seen that I have only made slight changes to the original bow and crossbow, such as the change in the shape of the arrow, and I don't know why this is so? Which Aiqing will talk about it. ”

After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he looked like the teachers of later generations, his eyes swept over the audience, and they all buried their heads in hard thought like students, and resolutely did not give you a chance to make eye contact.

In the end, Wang Shenli felt that the atmosphere was too depressing, and he relied on himself to mix with the emperor, so he had the courage to return: "Back to the emperor, Weichen thinks it should be the reason for the air......"

"Go on!"

"The minister remembers that the emperor once said that there is a kind of invisible air in this place where we stay, just like the wind. Air can provide buoyancy, just like a kite can fly in the sky, but it also increases drag, just like we feel strenuous to walk against the wind. Your Majesty, you changed the arrow to a spiral, and the minister thought that you wanted the arrow to move forward in a spiral shape due to air reasons, so as to reduce the resistance to advance, so that the carpenter rotated the drilling, and the arrow advancing in the spiral not only flew far and shot accurately, but also had more destructive power. This is the view of the micro minister, please correct the emperor! ”

"What the gentleman said is basically like this, but in fact, it is just like that, that is, to summarize and reuse the things in ordinary life, but the vast majority of people turn a blind eye to these things! Therefore, I want you to slowly change this kind of thinking, lead the direction of my Great Song people's thinking, and do the purpose of learning from things and applying what you have learned. ”

"Thank you for the emperor's teachings, and the ministers keep it in mind!"

"Xiao Shunzi, give the things to the ministers!" Zhao Zhen instructed Xiao Shunzi.

After everyone took the book, Zhao Zhen continued: "What you Aiqing holds in your hands is the tone I set for the Royal Academy, and you all look at the responsibilities you need to bear in the future." Now I will assign you to Yan Su as the dean to be responsible for the establishment of the research institute, and personally lead the Qin Tiansi, focusing on astronomy and geography. Zeng Gongliang and Ding Du led the firearms department, mainly engaged in weapons development. Wang Shen led the Machinery Division, mainly engaged in equipment design and manufacturing. Chen Xinhua, Zhang Qirui, Yang Sien and Li Tiezhu are in charge of the Materials Division, specializing in various materials research. Xiang Zhongtian is in charge of the Department of Agriculture, mainly for the improvement of crops and the promotion of new crops. Li Xingxiu is in charge of the Department of Industry, which studies the methods of building all kinds of buildings. Wu Ren and Xie Xinran led the Department of Medicine, focusing on medical and disease pharmaceuticals. Temporarily awarded four ranks, and promoted according to merit in the future"

"Thanksgiving!"

"Flatten! The general situation is like this, each of you is familiar with what you are responsible for, you need to find it yourself, you need to list the things you need, and I will prepare it for you. In the future, if you find any projects that you are interested in, you will write a report and submit it to me and the cabinet for review, and once it is approved, it will ensure the smooth implementation of your project, so you should use your brains and brainstorm when you set up the project, understand? ”

"Wechen understands!"

"Of course, I will sometimes directly assign you research tasks, these tasks are difficult, you should be mentally prepared."

"Please rest assured, the emperor will swear to complete the task!" The people in the hall shouted passionately. I don't know that the soldiers of the day always say that they swear to complete the task, and they are dead and complete a bird, and this slogan is passed down by you!

"It's not that serious, just do your best! I'll decide the first research project for you. Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said to everyone.

"Please ask the emperor to command!"

"Yan Aiqing, what I gave you is a big problem! I want you to study the shape of the earth we are stepping on, and what does the Tengu Eating Day have to do with my virtue? I believe you've seen all of these things in the Royal Academy, but I want you to convince the people of the world in your own way, after all, they believe in the saying that the sky is round and the land is round. ”

"Obey the order!"

"The first topic of the firearms group's research is the use of existing gunpowder, before this Lei Bo Duan Xin Duan Aiqing has completed the development of grenades, catapult mines and suggested mines, I believe that after these things are mass-produced, our Great Song army will no longer have to be afraid of the Northern Barbarian Cavalry, I hope you will continue to carry forward in the future, create more weapons to kill the enemy, and protect the peace of my Great Song Dynasty!"

"Your Ministers obey!"

"The Machinery Division has given you a big problem, and you must have noticed that when we boil water, we will put the lid up after the water is boiled. A pot of water can lift the lid, but what if there is more water? I believe that this power can be used by me, so I named this project the 'Steam Engine' project, and I have some references for you to take a look at! ”

"In addition, Shen Lier and others should implement the various common standard units that I have taught you in the Royal Academy as soon as possible, and make standard samples to be promoted to all parts of the country as soon as possible, and the time unit will be completed by you to assist Yan Aiqing as soon as possible, and the new measurement unit will be adopted in the future, so that my Da Song can do the same track and the same distance from the road!"

"The emperor can rest assured, just leave this matter to the ministers."

"Then I'll see! The future of the Great Song Dynasty is up to you! ”
