Chapter 780: The Nature of Capital

Zhang Shun didn't understand at all how he could sit opposite the famous grandfather as a small person, this was too unreal. Because of Chen Fan? If it was a young man who had just come out of society, Zhang Shun would definitely think so. The question is how can a person who graduated from a vocational and technical school at the age of eighteen, and it has been eight years since he graduated from a vocational and technical school, and his children are all in elementary school, so naïve?

Facing Chen Xie's smiling expression, Zhang Shun calmed down, slowly stood up and arched his hand: "Grandpa, I don't know what blessings the little one has, and I am very scared to be able to sit in front of you!" Please also ask your grandfather to explain! Although the smile on Chen Xie's face was slowly disappearing, Zhang Shun's tone was still getting more and more firm, until he finished speaking, his entire back was covered with sweat, his clothes were soaked, and the edges of his pants were also wet.

Su Haochen and Wang Ben, who had been standing aside to watch the excitement, also showed surprised expressions at this time. This kid is really not simple, in the face of his grandfather, he can speak so smoothly, which shows that he is very sober in addition to being highly nervous.

Zhang Shunbiao's attitude made Chen Xie very satisfied, and it can even be said that he was satisfied beyond the standard. Raising his hand and beckoning, Ah Xi, who was dressed as a female soldier three steps behind him, stepped forward and touched a magazine with both hands. After Chen Xie took it, he opened the imprint he folded, spread out the magazine on the table, and said lightly: "You wrote this paper, right?" ”

Zhang Shun has been observing, the moment the magazine was obtained, he knew that this was an issue of "Physical Exploration" published half a year ago, and this issue of the magazine did publish one of his papers, the content of which was Tong Guò's research on electromagnetism, and the electrified coil can generate a magnetic field to form a magnetoelectric rotational torque. And the bold assumption that the study will continue in this direction, electric instead of steam power. As a result, the paper has just been published. He was kicked out of the front-line construction team and thrown back into the power company, where he worked as a miscellaneous clerk in the archives. Until recently, he was named by the headquarters and urgently transferred to Dongying.

"It's a villain's doing, I don't know what's wrong?" Zhang Shun answered this question almost instinctively. He did not hide his surprise in the slightest. To put it bluntly, in front of Chen Xie, there is no room for him to pretend to be a ghost.

Poof, Su Haochen and Wang Ben were happy, and it wasn't funny at all. This kid is really ignorant and fearless!

"Alright, you two be quiet." Chen Xie glared, and Su Haochen and Wang Benli were standing up. Chen Xie pointed to the paper and said, "After this paper was published, didn't you pay attention to the subsequent controversy?" Zhang Shun shook his head: "I paid attention to it, but then I was too lazy to pay attention when I was busy." Especially after the transfer back to headquarters. I've been pondering this question for a long time. However, the villain found that the existing direct current is difficult to meet the demand for electricity after the new equipment is used in large-scale production. Therefore, the small one did not continue to study, and turned to another research direction, how to solve the problem of power supply. ”

Chen Xie's mouth couldn't close a little, this guy is really a weird, and he has a big heart. "Don't you feel wronged?" Chen Xie still asked. Zhang Shun shook his head: "It's just some small research results, what's wrong with being criticized?" There are criticisms. Explain that you are not doing well enough. If I can invent a new power supply mode and solve the problem of power supply, it will be urgent to study this again. What's wrong with being said a few words? How should I live my life, and how should I live it? This thing said that he called himself "down", and it seems that his mentality is not so nervous. Or rather, people who are engaged in technology. Self-confidence in their own field is relatively strong.

How can you say that this person is good? Chen Xie couldn't find a suitable adjective, and finally asked with a wry smile: "Don't you know why you are criticized?" Zhang Shun shook his head and said, "I really don't know about this." Chen Xie suddenly stood up sternly, stood up and looked at him sternly and asked: "Let's name the product you envisioned as the electric motor, I want to ask a question, the electric motor is compared to the steam engine." What are the advantages? ”

"The noise is low, the speed is smooth, and I haven't thought of anything else." Zhang Shun answered very simply this time, Chen Xie turned his head and beckoned, and soon two female soldiers came in carrying a strange piece of equipment, this thing can be said to be ugly, that is, a coil and a shaft fixed on a bearing. As soon as Zhang Shun saw this, his face turned white, and he immediately said, "Isn't this a sample I made?" ”

Chen Xie nodded heavily and said, "That's right, it's the sample you made, and I only found out about this matter when I read the magazine recently, so let someone transfer you to Dongying and talk to you in person to rest assured." Sit down first! ”

After Zhang Shun sat down, Chen Xie continued: "Zhang Shun, do you know that after your invention came out, the first thing that people immediately thought of was to make you never come out. After this sentence surprised Zhang Shun, he quickly fell into contemplation, this person has a high IQ, and he is not the kind of master who has no emotional intelligence.

"It seems to be understood that if this motor is used in industrial production on a large scale, for many existing enterprises, almost all equipment will have to be eliminated." Zhang Shun said everything that came to mind, and Chen Xie nodded and said, "You are very smart, and you are not short of experience." However, your vision is still flawed, and you are not to blame for this, after all, you were a senior technician in a power company before. ”

Saying that, Chen Xie picked up a cigarette, handed it to Zhang Shun, lit one himself, and then said: "This is a revolution, I originally thought that it would take at least fifty years for this revolution to be born in the bud." Unexpectedly, it has only been 20 years since the large-scale use of the steam engine, and your article has appeared, and even samples have been made. ”

"Ah, I didn't think that far ahead. Grandpa said it was a revolution, that is, it must be a revolution! Zhang Shun's tone of voice became more and more natural, and he didn't seem to be worried about his fate. In fact, when Chen Xie asked him about this, he was not worried at all. Who dares to touch the people that Xinghai Gong cares about? Looking for death?

Chen Xie stretched out his hand and patted the shoulder of the goods and said, "Forget about this trip to Dongying, pack up, and prepare to go back to Liaodong." A talent like you, put a technician in an electric power company to do engineering, it is really a terrible thing. Zhang Shun was stupid directly, what does this mean? Chen Xie continued: "The next thing you have to do is not to study, but to learn. You'll know exactly what you'll learn when you get there. ”

Zhang Shun came out in a daze, and was led into a room next door, waiting for him in it was actually the personal waitress in the Eurasian Hotel, Zhang Shun was even more confused, this woman's waiter was really cool, but he didn't say he wanted her.

There were four people left in the front hall, and Chen Xie sighed heavily and said, "I have seen it all, this is the nature of capital." For the sake of profit, the capitalists will not care about any new technology for you. The capitalists can do this, and as the main pillar members of the government apparatus of the future overseas alliance, you cannot be so narrow-minded. The industrial revolution led by the steam engine brought not only a great increase in productivity, but also the rapid progress of mankind in the field of science and technology. After the official establishment of the overseas alliance, the first priority is to legislate to protect and encourage scientific and technological innovation. It is unrealistic to expect private capitalists to do this, and it can only be done by my Chen family. ”

Chen Fan, who had never had a chance to speak, stood up silently and listened to the instructions. Chen Xie smiled with satisfaction: "You are also engaged in technology, and it is not appropriate to use your talents in it." Chen Fan hesitated, but still insisted: "Father, I think it's appropriate!" Technical research is of course very important, but the significance of creating a good environment for more people who are willing to devote themselves to research is far greater than the little scientific and technological achievements that I have personally researched. ”

Chen Xie shook his head when he heard this: "This time you are wrong! As he spoke, he pointed his finger at his head: "Chen Fan, human brains are different. The scientific and technological progress of mankind depends not only on the mode and aspect of education, but also on the thinking of a group of geniuses at a certain moment. Engage in professional research, you are a genius, and I will not waste a brain that may bring a revolutionary leap to the level of human science and technology because of this. ”

Chen Fan sat back silently, and Chen Xie continued: "I will set up a fund, which has two support directions, one is to have potential researchers, and the other is to transform research results into productivity. Take Zhang Shun as an example, once the electric motor is put into large-scale industrial production, the future of the entire overseas alliance will be changed. Although the road still seems to be a long one, I firmly believe that in a hundred years at most, the electrical revolution will destroy the age of steam. ”

Zhang Shun didn't wait too long, and soon saw Wang Ben coming in, this guy glanced at Zhang Shun and the panicked woman behind him with the eyes of a man, and said with a smile: "Everything has been brought, follow me to Yokosuka overnight, and leave early tomorrow morning." ”

When Wang Ben took Zhang Shun away, Chen Xie interviewed Chen Fan in the study, although radio is an inevitable trend in the development of science and technology, but now Chen Xie is not in a hurry, the reason is very simple, quantitative changes cause qualitative changes, and speed is not reached. After the large-scale use of the cable telegraph, and after the whole society accepted this thing, it was inevitable that radio would come into being. Just like Zhang Shun's discovery and invention, doesn't it depend on the promotion of electric lighting? Although it is still the era of direct current, Chen Xie believes that in a maximum of 50 years, or even less, alternating current will appear. The reason why he is so confident is that the fund prepared by Chen Xie will surely become a catalyst to promote the scientific and technological progress and development of this era.

Chen Xie's violent means laid the foundation of the industrial revolution in the steam age, and completely threw the term "ingenuity" into the garbage heap of history. Although the entire Ming Dynasty has not undergone fundamental institutional changes, the perception of science and technology is no longer the pedantic concept of the past, and both the government and the opposition have seen the huge benefits brought by science and technology.
