In the third year of Longjing, in the year 1653 of Yahma, the Inquisition of the Holy See was still executing heretics, and modern science was like a weak sprout, oscillating between truth and religion. At this time, there were no star-like scientists, and the natural sciences of the whole world were driven by a few people.

Such as René? Descartes, who won the first Aoi Heart Prize, but unfortunately did not receive the prize money.

Or Bryce? Pascal. He was a teenage genius. At the age of twelve, he mastered Euclid's "Geometric Primitives", and at the age of sixteen, he discovered the famous Pascal hexagonal theorem; At the age of seventeen, he wrote The Theory of Conic Curves—the greatest advance in the theory of conic curves since Apollonius in ancient Greece.

In 1642, Pascal designed and built an addition and subtraction calculator that could be carried automatically, which is known as the world's first numerical calculator and provided the basic principles for later computer design. If it weren't for Zhu Cihong's preemptive release of the law of pressure a year ago, the pressure units of later generations would also be named after his surname.

This genius has just passed and is in the prime of life. Because he heard that Descartes had won the Aoi Heart Award, he knew about the Ming Dynasty, which was far away on the edge of the world.

For Pascal, who has always been frail and sickly, it is really a desperate thing to travel to the far east to come to the far east, but fortunately, Chinese medicine is the best at organizing, and Zhu Yujian, the king of Tang who invited Pascal to the Ming Dynasty, also specially arranged two doctors as Pascal's health consultants to ensure his health on a long journey.

It is this courtesy that makes Pascal full of good impression of Daming, and he is very willing to spread his research results in Daming. However, when he arrived in Daming, he stayed in the visiting professor's courtyard arranged by Jingshi University, and Pascal came into contact with Daming's scientific achievements for the first time-

"These studies have gone further than I have." Pascal said in the face of calculus.

"I can only improve Daming's water press, it's really frustrating to think about." After Pascal finished reading Daming's textbook, his feelings were depressed for a while.

However, he has a genius that ordinary people do not have, after accepting the Ming scientific system. Soon showed the power of genius, invented the mercury barometer one after another, and also made great achievements in sluice gates, pistons, etc., and finally set his sights on the study of cycloids. Huygens worked together on pendulum clocks to help ships determine their longitude positions as they sailed through the sea.

Christian? Huygens was a genius not inferior to Pascal. At the age of thirteen, he made a lathe by himself. Since then, he has made many achievements in mathematics, astronomy, physics, etc., and his research field is similar to Pascal's. He was six years younger than Pascal and was also invited by the Tang Dynasty to go to Daming as one of the visiting professors at Jingshi University.

Under these two geniuses, there were also many European scholars and missionaries. At a time when the entire European economy is in a post-war downturn, it is naturally a good choice to go to the East to earn high-purity silver. In particular, the scientific strength shown by the Ming Dynasty is not inferior to that of Europe, and it can be seen from the introduction of the princes that the Ming Dynasty has no religious pressure, and the academic environment is more relaxed than that of Europe.

The new ideas brought by these Europeans undoubtedly gave a heavy impetus to the scientific development of the Ming Dynasty. It also became an opportunity for the formal establishment of the Huangming Academy of Sciences.

In the early morning of the twelfth day of the first month of the fourth year of Longjing, the third son of the emperor was born.

It only took half an hour for Queen Duan to be pushed into the delivery room to the end of childbirth, which can be described as extremely smooth. Therefore, the third son's milk name is called Jia Ge, and he is more loved by the Duan family than the two elder brothers.

The feast to celebrate the birth of the third prince was held in the evening of the same day, and in addition to the civil and military officials in Beijing, there were also gentlemen from Jingshi University and Xinglin University, who contributed a lot.

During the banquet, Zhu Cihong met with Pascal and Huygens, two Taixi Hongru, and was under their construction. As a scientist, he took the lead in setting up a fixed academic society to involve outstanding scientists from all over the world. Help each other and work together to promote the scientific progress of mankind.

As a result, the establishment of the Huangming Academy of Sciences was officially put on the agenda, and 18 chief scientists were finally selected, and the chairman was elected by these 18 chief scientists. Zhu Cihong undoubtedly assumed the post of chairman, because of the busy schedule. As a result, a secretariat has been established to deal with day-to-day business.

Pascal is the only foreign academician among the eighteen chief scientists. Huygens was rightfully rejected because of his young age and lack of research results, but he was still the youngest member of the Academy of Sciences.

The compound of the new Academy of Sciences is located next door to the University of Jingsei. It is also a place with good mountains, good water and good scenery. This compound is only responsible for the gathering and temporary residence of the academicians of the Academy of Sciences, and the research institute borrows the real yàn room and real yàn field of Jingshi University.

As a courtesy, Daming's current highest-end technical product, the steam engine, is also open to them. However, in practical application, some of them are trade secrets of various companies, and only a few researchers can know them with the help of the power of the imperial court, and they will not be disclosed to the public.

The steam engine is not the same as it was two years ago, when anyone who knew the principle could emulate it. Even if the Europeans knew the various indicators, they would not be able to produce them with their craftsmanship.

Huiyuan Bo Liao Zhen is also one of the eighteen chief scientists, he is no longer involved in the Liao family's gravel and road repair industry, but with his disciples, students, and nephews, specializing in the study of steam engines, manufacturing new models with more sufficient power, higher energy utilization rate, and lighter weight.

Now his research has been getting ahead of Jingshi University faster and faster, like a fierce general in the field of science.

This also contributed to Zhu Cihong's investment in royal capital, not only for high profits, but also to protect such high-tech enterprises.

It was Liao Zhen and his "Huangming Power" that made Longjing's four-year spring ploughing appear as a cross-era product like "plough machine".

In the spring season in North China, it is also the time when the farm is busy, five huge plough machines under the attention of His Majesty the Emperor and Emperor Taishang, make a fire to store heat, make a roar in the thick smoke, drag the heavy iron teeth, break through the soil, and pull out the soil waves straight.

All the onlookers were overjoyed, especially when they found two women on the plow, one holding the steering wheel and the other shoveling coal into the furnace with a shovel. This meant that in the future, women would be able to do the heavy farm work, leaving men to do more lucrative work.

"Why don't you wrap that stove up? Isn't it a waste of coal to be exposed like this? Chongzhen pointed to the exposed stove.

The design of this plough is more like an old locomotive, and the furnace chamber is exposed to dissipate heat and avoid the operator being troubled by the high temperatures.

Before Zhu Cihong could answer, there was a sudden burst of applause from the onlookers, and it turned out that the plough machine had turned a big bend and ploughed back again from the other end. Who doesn't get excited to see their busy day's work being done so easily?

Chongzhen also quickly put the technical problems behind him, and exclaimed: "If Daming Village has this opportunity, wouldn't it be effortless when the farm is busy!" ”

"This machine is too good to eat coal, and it is really inconvenient to use it in places that do not produce coal." Zhu Cihong said: "My son wants to use him in Liaoning and Haixi, where the land is wide and coal-producing, and it is just reclaimed as a big granary. ”

Zhu Cihong knows the bloody story of developing the Great Northern Wilderness in another time and space. In that story, the young republic mobilized 100,000 troops to reclaim the Great Northern Wilderness, although it played the sign of "mechanization", but the country at that time was poor and white, tractors, cars wanted nothing, and the thatched huts where the reclamation army lived were not as good as the barracks of the Ming army, did not turn the Northeast into an important grain producing area in China?

Although there are not many plows today, the population of Daming is only 130 million, and there are food supply areas such as Huguang, Annam, and Siam, so the food demand for the northeast is not urgent, and it can be taken slowly.

The birth of the plough machine occupied the vast majority of the pages of the "Imperial Bulletin" and the northern newspapers.

It was only a month later that these newspapers reached the county seat of Yongming County, Mowenhe Prefecture, the political secretary of Haixi Bu, but the young man holding the newspaper skipped the relevant report without blinking an eye, and quickly flipped through the pages until he saw a report the size of a piece of dried tofu, and then he looked at it carefully.

This is an article from a Jiangnan newspaper, to the effect that Wulin University discovered a pharmaceutical home remedy from a temple in Changzhou, and the research showed that the medicine made by this method did have a better therapeutic effect than other medicinal materials.

Specifically, the monks in the temple scraped the penicillium growing on the fruit into a jar mixed with rice juice and taro juice, sealed it, buried it in the ground, and took it out for several years. This sap is used for patients with fever caused by gold sores, and the effect is surprisingly good. Because it is not easy to make, this medicine is also called Guanyin dew, according to the monks, it is the mana of Guanyin Master.

However, the contemporary Ming Dynasty already has the concept of bacteria, and has long had the philosophical idea that all things are born, so naturally they will not believe that it is the magic power of Guanyin. Otherwise, Tuas can just blow his breath, why bury it in the soil for years?

So Wulin University imitated this medicinal juice, but it was not buried in the soil, but at a constant temperature, increasing the concentration of rice juice and taro juice, and finally found that the medicinal juice can work closely related to Penicillium, and simple rice juice and taro juice do not have medicinal effects. As a result, this newly discovered agent was called "penicillin", and although the production was very small, the effect was surprisingly good.

"In this way, the army of Xiding America is even more powerful." Yang Wei closed the newspaper in his hand and walked out of his office.

He now carries the captain's star insignia and is subordinate to the Korean Division of the Far Eastern Front, serving as assistant chief of staff of the division's general staff. This time, he came to Yongming City to liaise with the tank division, which also belonged to the Far Eastern Front, and agreed on the defense area and communication code. (To be continued......)
