Chapter 272 - Hope Spanning a Thousand Years
Despite the months of continuous travel, it was very hard. But Zhang Yun, who returned with a full load, was very happy.
Especially when I heard that in the past few months, Wang Xiangdong led the craftsmen to overcome thousands of difficulties and dangers, and finally made an AC motor with the help of the detailed information given by Zhang Yun. Zhang Yunna is simply laughing when he meets people!
Because the successful trial production of the electric motor actually means that the era of the second industrial revolution is coming, and the front-loading guns that we have been using can be swept into the garbage heap of history.
Zhang Yun has never underestimated the electric motor, because he wants to make this kind of thing successfully realized and embodied in the product. It's so much too wide to cover......
Therefore, Zhang Yun has reason to believe. At this moment, Wang Xiangdong and others must have mastered all the scientific and technological achievements invented in the first world industrial revolution in later generations.
With this confidence, of course, there is hope that this era will instantly cross the time of nearly a thousand years and enter the modern era and even the modern era in one fell swoop.
And this is not the most important thing, because with the advent of electric units, and the size of the steam engine is getting smaller and smaller. Zhang Yun is confident, with this series of changes since then. In one fell swoop, this era was brought into the aftermath of the Second World Industrial Revolution.
Not much, even to restore the living environment of the early 20th century. Everything will be different again.
At least in the past few years of traveling through time and space, I have long had enough of oil lamps and candles. You can say goodbye to yourself!
Thinking of the stalk of oil lamps and candles, Zhang Yun wanted to use electric lights. I can't wait for this moment.
Of course, these are too far away, and the most important task at present is that the trial production of large-caliber naval guns has not yet been successful......
"It's time to find out what to do!" The thought crossed my mind. Zhang Yun didn't care that the fatigue he had just rushed back would disappear, so he fell into busyness again.
The first is to find out all the scientific and technological achievements that emerged in the second industrial revolution. In particular, there is information on how to improve the quality of steel. It is the most important of this.
The reason why large-caliber naval guns have not been successfully trial-produced is that the quality of steel is not up to standard. Resulting in frequent boredoms. It's just like those firearms supervised by the Ministry of Industry in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Quan Nima is a tofu slag project. No one dares to use it at all!
In this age when what is spoken is the truth within the range of a cannon. The importance of large-caliber naval artillery. Even more important than the steel battleship.
So, immediately after that, Zhang Yun lived a hard work as a researcher. It is hoped that these craftsmen, who have just come out of illiteracy, will be able to understand these scientific and technological materials from the early 20th century. It's like a dream......
Therefore, almost every technique. After Zhang Yun understands it thoroughly himself, he slowly teaches them in a way that they can understand. They can carry out the research.
Of course, this is not the most difficult thing. Because if you encounter a technology that you can't even understand. Zhang Yun will fall into a more difficult situation!
That is to show the spirit of the third year of high school students in later generations who insist on staying up until three o'clock every day. However, Zhang Yun himself will already be a fast runner in the next life.
In the past few years, it has been high and high. So when forced to pick up the book again. Zhang Yun almost wanted to kill someone......
……
The sound of firecrackers in Gaojiaba shook the sky today, and the whole town showed a state of boiling and rebellious.
Today is the day when the town's only elementary school is finally built and open. Almost all of the more than 2,000 people in the entire town are concentrated here. And no matter adults or children, everyone is elated, just like the New Year!
Prior to this, almost all the nearby towns and villages had already gone through this step. And the success they have already had. In the past year, it has deeply stimulated the hearts of more than 2,000 people in Gaojiaba.
Because after the opening of primary schools in nearby townships, Zhang Yun announced a new regulation at that time.
That is, in addition to the fact that school-age children can get education for free. Education is free even for adults......
At first, people from all over the country didn't believe it, first, they didn't believe that Zhang Yun, the bandit leader, would be so kind, and second, they didn't believe that older people could learn what to look like!
But what is not lacking in the world is smart people, and there is no shortage of the first person who dares to come out and eat crabs.
So when the first people ate crabs, they completed literacy education in school. A handful of outstanding among them were awarded certain positions in Zhang Yun's regime. All the people in the vicinity flocked to it. And now Gaojiaba finally has a primary school......
"The literacy education prescribed by the marshal is simply a stroke of genius!" At this moment, Wang Xiangdong, who was also mixed in the crowd, seemed to feel the joy of the people around him. Immediately praised from the bottom of his heart.
Because of the opportunity to provide free education for school-age children, although the common people will be grateful, they will not be so excited. After all, the people's vision is short-sighted, and a project that has been invested but will not be able to see the harvest until more than ten years later. There is no need to expect much enthusiasm from the common people.
Because too many things will happen in more than ten years. Who knows what the world will be like then?
But these adults are now provided with free education as well, albeit not very systematically, but only literacy. But the results were immediate!
Especially when the government at all levels promoted a small number of outstanding people as officials, the adult literacy education class suddenly changed from the original no one to the city!
In some places, there have even been bloody fights over this quota......
Although Wang Xiangdong said this with a little bit of sycophancy. But at this moment, Zhang Yun's mood was very turbulent.
Especially when you think about adult education, the beauty of completing it to a certain extent......
"Yes! Wait until the day when these children grow up, for us. That's just the daylily is cold! ”
"At present, we want to dominate the world and rewrite the history of the whole world. Then we have to start adult literacy education in the regions we can influence in a few years' time. ”
"Not much. Only about half of the adults are blind. We can take a bigger step and don't have to be afraid of pulling eggs! ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Yun paused. Thinking about whether to tell Wang Xiangdong? The real purpose of vigorously promoting adult literacy education on your own!
But after pondering for a while, Zhang Yun reluctantly gave up this idea. In this era, sometimes Zhang Yun really feels very lonely. Of course, this is not the kind of loneliness that lacks women, but spiritual loneliness.
Because in this era, many of my thoughts cannot be shared with others. Otherwise, it would be too shocking......
For example, if he told Wang Xiangdong that the real purpose of tightening his belt and even dragging down other research projects was to vigorously promote adult literacy education, it would be just to publish a newspaper.
And then through this ordinary people, the only official media that can be reached. To desperately slander Confucianism, this stinky thing invented by a certain master. Splash the body with dung. Make it smelly!
Because only in this way can we completely emancipate the minds of hundreds of millions of ordinary people. Let them no longer be silent. At least they know how to fight for their own rights. Of course, this is of no use to the ruler's sword and gun!
But at least let them know what inequality is. And what is oppression......
For newspapers, this thing is important to the ability to guide public opinion. Zhang Yun knows a lot.
Because Zhang Yun had personally experienced that era, when the online media had not yet been widely circulated. Newspapers have always represented truth. What is said above, the common people believe it. Even if it's outrageous in the newspapers. And so it goes! Especially for the old farmers in the countryside, that's even more so!
And in this era when there are no competitors at all, you only need to publish a newspaper. Even if it refers to the deer as a horse. I'm afraid of the old peasants in the countryside. will also be skeptical......
But very helpless, this purpose. The current Zhang Yun can't say it anyway. Otherwise, I am afraid that there will be many twists and turns. So, even if you're in the middle of the city. The sense of loneliness in Zhang Yun's heart is still very strong!
"Hey!"
Thinking about this, he looked at Wang Xiangdong with some strange eyes. Zhang Yun could only give him a long sigh back!
