Chapter 1411 Divide Disciplines, Turning Stones into Gold
Mobile reading
However, it is very simple for Zhu Jie to touch his lips, but if he wants to successfully develop a steamship with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons, it is easy to impeach, and you must know that it will take two hundred years for the West to realize such technology. Just by virtue of the current technology accumulation of the Ming Dynasty, it is even more difficult to realize the technology after two hundred years, even with Zhu Jie's support!
However, think about it, what Zhu Jie said is not unreasonable, the original appearance of the space-time steam engine is the result of someone's research, and the subsequent improvements are also the power of a single person or a few people, the technical force is very thin, and the funds cannot quickly keep up, compared with it, now Thomson's conditions are too superior, Yingtian Academy has concentrated three or four percent of the technical elites of the Ming Dynasty, what kind of technology do you want, Yingtian Academy can almost find the corresponding person, in addition, Zhu Jie also promised, ask people to give people, If you want money to give money, it can be said that there is an unlimited supply of money, and there is also Zhu Jie's guidance in macro technology, if this is the case, Thomson can't make a breakthrough in a short period of time, then I'm really sorry for Zhu Jie's investment.
In the past three years alone, with the improvement of the steam engine and the technical application of the steam engine in various fields, Zhu Jie has smashed more than 600,000 taels of silver, 600,000 taels, and even several heaven-level warships!
Zhu Jie continued: "Let's go, let's talk while walking on the road......"
From Yanziwu to Yingtian Academy, there is a small twenty miles away, Zhu Jie is not in a hurry, riding a war horse, and Thomson and others on the side continue to explain the development and application of steam engine technology in the future, just a few words, maybe it can open a window for Thomson and others, now Thomson has gathered more than ten young talents, with their own areas of expertise, and even some have surpassed Thomson in some fields, Thomson only needs to see the overall situation.
When he came to Yingtian Academy, Zhu Jie did not talk about the steam engine, but summoned the well-known research scholars in Yingtian Academy, especially the young Junyan of the Ming Dynasty.
"Gentlemen, I am very pleased, in just a few years, Yingtian Academy has a small sapling has grown into a towering tree, during this period, your hard work is obvious to all, however, I still hope that you can make persistent efforts, learn endlessly, for nature, we must be full of awe, but also full of exploration, this world, there are too many unknown areas waiting for us to explore, to pursue, the honor and gold and silver of the Ming Empire are waiting for you ahead!"
Zhu Jie said loudly, "As long as you have a dream in your heart and don't stop, it will eventually come true!" ”
Now the dean of Yingtian Academy has been replaced by Huang Zonghui, Huang Zongxi's younger brother, Huang Zonghui's family history, extremely smart, the youngest among the three Huang brothers, and the most intelligent, but also has unique attainments in arithmetic, astronomy and other fields, following Song Yingxing's side in recent years, and has made outstanding achievements in the field of machinery and physics.
Huang Zonghui bowed down and said, "The eight thousand teachers and students of Yingtian Academy thank you for the emperor's encouragement!" ”
Zhu Jie said with a smile: "Encouragement alone is not enough, I came to Yingtian Academy this time to give you exam questions!" ”
Huang Zonghui was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Exam questions? Please also show the emperor! ”
Zhu Jie nodded and replied: "Yingtian Academy now has 8,000 teachers and students, which is already the largest school in the world, but although there are many teachers and students, our research and learning have not formed a system, and it is still very scattered. ”
This is something that Zhu Jie has been planning for a long time, most of the current research is spontaneous, each teacher or scholar has his own research field, but the lack of systematic cognition, unable to form a joint force, the effect is naturally slow, if you want to make the explosive growth of knowledge, the best way is to draw a clear boundary for them, and then guide! By reducing the contingency of academic creation to the inevitability under guidance, academic innovation will naturally accelerate.
Zhu Jie continued: "In general, the Ming Dynasty and the West, Westerners are good at theoretical exploration, and the Ming is good at specific practice, now what we have to do is to promote each other in the fields we are good at, as for the disciplines It is necessary to divide them, I have plans to divide the current Yingtian Academy into mechanics, arithmetic, chemistry, mechanics, astronomy, metallurgy, economics and economics, of course, these disciplines are not enough to fully cover our research, if there is a new academic, It can even be listed separately, for example, if any of you are interested in lightning and medicine, you can establish your own discipline through research, but it can be said that these fields are the foundation of the current development of the Ming Dynasty, especially mechanics, arithmetic, chemistry and metallurgy, these four are the basic disciplines of learning from things, and the four fields have made great progress, and they can also promote the progress of other fields! ”
Huang Zonghui frowned slightly, and asked, "Your Majesty, several other ministers are involved, but what is this chemistry?" The minister is stupid, and he is a little unclear, so he ......"
Zhu Jie said with a smile: "The so-called chemistry is the knowledge of understanding the world, and it can also be said to be the knowledge of understanding the microcosm. Is it really as simple as gold, wood, water, fire, and earth? Why do flames burn in the air? Will it go out when you leave the air? What is the composition of the air that we can perceive when we breathe in? Are there only a few kinds of metals in this world: gold, silver, copper, iron, and lead? Are there any metals that we haven't found yet? Why can black powder explode? Is it possible that other substances can be combined to explode? Wait, there are too many mysteries hidden in this knowledge, we need to dig it out step by step, everything needs us to do experiments to prove, just like the ancient alchemists did, isn't gunpowder invented by alchemists? ”
Everyone looked at each other one by one, the emperor only said a few words, and opened the door of a learning to Yingtian Academy, what mystery is hidden in it, the emperor thinks about it as before, never speaks thoroughly, just uses words to dial a few times, as long as someone studies it deeply, it won't take long, there will definitely be gains, the emperor is such a person, he simply has the ability to turn stones into gold!
