Chapter 112: The First Arsenal of the Hundredth Ming Dynasty
Twentieth of the twentieth month of the lunar
There are only ten days before the Spring Festival of the eighteenth year of Chongzhen.
The cold wind swept across the entire river.
The beauty in the arms is like jade, warm as March, which makes people hate and can't turn into its softness.
However, Zhu Youzhen still chose to sit up.
The cold air was churning with the Red Tent.
The master of ceremonies, the eunuch Shi Kefa, would always wait outside the door on time with the music.
Chen Yuanyuan is now insensitive to Zhu Youzhen's body, and he calmly wears Huang Aya's clothes on Zhu Youzhen's body.
Standing outside the door, looking at the snowy scenery of Zhongshan caused by his gaze, and being in a daze for a while, is what Zhu Youzhen does every day.
The climate of Nanjing is significantly wetter than that of Beijing.
Although there has been no snow today, the cold rain in the depths of winter has dyed the red Forbidden City a layer of dark green.
The descendant of Zhang Tianshi of Wudang Mountain was invited into the palace by Zhu Youzhen, and whenever the rooster sang the world, Zhu Youzhen would follow him to fight for a while.
Although Tai Chi is soft, it is also exhausting, coupled with the abundance of yang energy, Zhu Youzhen, who is in the prime of life, has not long been sweating slightly.
"What's the matter today?"
After taking the hot-water soaked handkerchief from Chen Yuanyuan's hand, Zhu Youzhen inadvertently touched Chen Yuanyuan's hand, smiling with seriousness.
The eunuch Shi Kefa has a very good memory: "The king of Shu was killed by Zhang Xianzhong, the Tartars wantonly enclosed land in Gyeonggi, millions of people in the capital were homeless, and people around Baoding Mansion were often killed. ”
Bang!
Zhu Youzhen suddenly threw the handkerchief on the ground, the corners of his mouth tightened, and his eyes stared at Shi Kefa and Chen Yuanyuan in front of him.
Chen Yuanyuan was so frightened that his face was pale.
Shi Kefa was equally silent.
The sudden cold wind blew away Zhu Youzhen's anger, and as for the death of the people in the north, even if he was the emperor, he was helpless at this time.
At this time, Wang Chengen walked over quickly, took over the music from Shi Kefa's hands, and replaced Shi Kefa's class.
"How's Bi Maokang's illness?"
As soon as Zhu Youzhen saw Wang Chengen, he remembered Bi Maokang, and at the same time consciously walked towards the outside of the palace.
Wang Chengen is naturally a thief and smart, knowing that Zhu Youzhen is going to leave the palace again, he glanced at his subordinates, so someone hurriedly ran to rule the Jinyi Guard and commanded Li Ruolian.
Since he is in Jiangnan, Zhu Youzhen naturally will not confine himself within the high walls every day.
The gardens in the south of the Yangtze River are famous, and Zhu Youzhen has made many Ming government-run institutions take the gardens with mountains and rivers as their offices, so they can naturally relax their minds after the inspection.
If they don't let the officials experience the preciousness of this gentle and rich township, how can they follow them to protect this southern country.
With the help of traditional Chinese medicine made from the bark of the cinchona tree, Bi Maokang's condition improved, but he still couldn't go out to blow the wind, so he only stayed in the Daming Engineering Institute, that is, the Yu Garden, to look at the flowers and listen to the birds.
Several families in the Wei Mansion had sons who became hired workers of the imperial court, and were responsible for the logistics services of the entire Daming Engineering Institute, including Bi Maokang's life.
Bi Maokang is no longer bored, Song Yingxing, Tang Ruowang and Sun Heding also moved here, each asked for a Xuanguan annex to live in, and occasionally came over every day to talk to Bi Maokang about some gunsmith manufacturing.
Zhu Youzhen naturally came here not only to see Bi Maokang, but also to see how Xu Wenjue's experiments were carried out in this engineering institute.
The study-like laboratory is surrounded by mallets, and in the center are three large wooden tables filled with glass vessels and stinking cinchona trees that have been burned or soaked in some liquid.
"The laboratory can't play like this, the windows should be changed to be larger, and a fume hood should be added to avoid poisoning the experimenter, the wooden table should be replaced with a brick platform, and the platform should be paved with gold bricks, so that the countertop can be smooth without fire, the glass container is not very good and the category is single, can you fire glass in your house?"
Zhu Youzhen looked at the transparent glass beaker and asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, there are masters who can burn glass, but Westerners don't know how to use glass," Xu Wenjue, Duke of Wei, replied.
"After the development of this cinchona, you should start to try the production method of this glass, you can also see this thing, but it is not only used for flower arrangement, it is anti-acid and alkali, medicine is inseparable from it, the key is transparent, think about it."
Zhu Youzhen said and suggested that Xu Wenjue make an excellent spectral separator according to his own requirements, that is, the separation of alkaloids can be achieved by adding alkaline colloids by using the different polarity of substances.
If Zhu Youzhen naturally couldn't explain these things to Xu Wenjue, he could only suggest him how to do it, and alkaline colloidal materials could not be found, and many metal oxides belonged to alkaline colloids.
When Zhu Youzhen left the Academy of Engineering and came to the Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Engineering of the University of Nuo University was already full of people, and Fang Yizhi summoned Zhang Dai, Fu Shan, Lu Liuliang, Zhu Zhiyu and others.
As for the selection of academicians of the Academy of Sciences, Zhu Youzhen is relatively strict, at least he must have a certain reputation in the world today, and in addition, he must have attainments in the field of natural sciences.
However, these people, because their fame is really too great, Zhu Youzhen naturally made an exception to make them academicians of the Academy of Sciences, which can be regarded as building a team for the Academy of Sciences.
What Zhu Youzhen didn't expect was that these famous scholars in later generations were still beautiful sons at this time, and like Fang Yizhi, he didn't see the slightest humility when he saw His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youzhen coming, although he saluted humbly, he had a sense of frivolity, and even Zhang Dai did not shy away from asking Zhu Youzhen directly: "Your Majesty, even if you let me wait to come to this academy, I don't know what the word science means, why not Jixian Hall or Lixian Residence?" ”
"Thanks to you Zhang Zongzi is also from a famous family, a "Lake Pavilion Watching the Snow" written by the West Lake Snow Scene can be called unprecedented and unprecedented, but now he also asks such a naïve question, the word science, is nothing more than a branch of learning, birds and beasts are a subject, the sun and moon rotation is a subject, reproduction is a subject, I built the Academy of Sciences is just to let Er and other things of the reason, seek the study of Wanke, as for why it is not a collection of sages or rites, but because you are not considered to be virtuous for the time being, just a material that can be made!"
As soon as Zhu Youzhen's words came out, Zhang Dai and Fang Yizhi were speechless for a while, but they were a little angry that His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youzhen did not look down on his own people.
Zhu Youzhen saw that they were all red-faced, and he also knew that his words just now hurt the self-esteem of these heavenly coquettishness, so he couldn't help laughing, he knew that these people were all visionary, and even their fame could be despised and compared to sages and sages, but what Zhu Youzhen wanted to fight was their madness, so that they could calm down and apply their high IQ to the study of natural science.
Zhang Dai was six years old and witty to the pair of "Meigong crosses the deer, and the autumn wind is played in Qiantang County", Fang Yizhi was born as a scholar, Tang Zhen is a famous political theorist in later generations, and Lu Liuliang was a literary prison in the original history, but he is a well-known university scholar in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and he does not let these people serve him well, Zhu Youzhen feels that he is wasting talents.
