Chapter 130: Diffusion
Fran's one piece was quickly agreed by Wayne that the diffusion of civilian technology must be supported by capital.
Of course, there will be a lot of cannon fodder in the process.
For example, what makes an all-iron carriage so that consumption can be reduced.
There are also rickshaw carts, glass-ceramic wine glasses, and more. It's all flashy projects, and these people use their imagination to create one project after another that will be scrapped.
Of course, there are good examples.
Wayne wanted to make a ceramic toilet bowl with flat glass windows.
Wayne isn't going to remind them of the doomed projects and the ones that are successful. In this process, the research institute and the businessman need to fully exercise each other's ability to discriminate, accumulate experience, and lay a solid foundation for them to judge the success of the project in the future.
As for the military project, Wayne decided that he also needed his own guidance to speed up the process.
He became more and more uneasy about his discovery of the imperial capital, and the worse news was that Olmedo, the emperor of Rune, fell ill again. No one would believe that Olmedo would be able to stand up this time.
When Olmedo is completely down, the whole of Rune will be in turmoil, and Wayne must have sufficient force to defend his interests.
At present, in addition to expanding the armed forces, it is necessary to immediately develop new preparations.
The project, codenamed Death's Scythe, is now in secret development.
Although the name is a bit bells and whistles, this weapon definitely deserves it. The epoch-making rifled gun, Wayne intends to imitate the most famous Armstrong front-loading rifled gun in the previous life.
The current Napoleon gun can be regarded as using the performance of the front-loading smoothbore gun to the extreme. Performance is difficult to break through. Wayne can only aim higher.
A rifled gun is to carve many spirals into the breech, so that the shell can rotate along these spirals when fired, and has angular momentum and high stability. The accuracy is an order of magnitude higher than that of smoothbore guns.
The current Iron Fist I (Napoleon cannon) maintains a so-so accuracy at a maximum of one kilometer. The rifled gun can ensure that the error of two kilometers does not exceed three meters.
Of course, rifled guns also have disadvantages, which require extremely high processing technology and material strength.
First of all, it is necessary to improve the boring machine, and the rifling error should be within 0.5 mm. The accuracy of the current boring machine is far from the required level, and this time it is running on wrought iron with higher hardness. In the past, it was done on bronze and iron sheets, but this time it means that pure steel cannot be used as a drill bit. In the current absence of alloys, diamonds can be used instead.
That's right, with diamonds!
Know that in the process of drilling, a lot of heat is generated. Diamonds, on the other hand, are made of carbon, and when the time comes, the fire will be gone. Of course, this is only a small technical problem, since the heat is generated, add water. If you really can't do it, you will put it in the water and drill it! I just hope that the workers will not complain at that time.
Then there is the problem of accuracy, if the operation is not good, a gun chamber is wasted. This is extremely demanding for workers, not only to have basic mathematical knowledge, but also to have skilled craftsmanship.
And this time we will also develop flowering shells, which are big killers on the battlefield.
The Reaper's Scythe project will greatly promote Nolan's industrial upgrading.
With the current budget, the R&D project will reach 50,000 gold coins and the number of participants will reach 300. It is currently the largest project Nolan has been exposed to.
With the end of the war, the merchants who had been in Nolan for half a month immediately began to trade to make up for the losses in the past half a month. At Wayne's request, the dwarves would bring sparkling diamonds from Ortuno.
Nolan also formed a new department, the Educational Examination Agency.
Obans served as dean.
After March, the first Nolan Tech exam will be held. The scope includes "Mathematics I", "Physics I", "Physics II" and "Fundamentals of Chemistry".
Those who pass the exam will receive a basic scholar certificate issued by Nolan himself. Those who can obtain this certificate will be rewarded with two gold coins, and the better the results, the higher the ranking, the richer the rewards.
And many schools, government departments are also following suit. It was announced that priority would be given to basic scholars, especially in the Institute, which was a stepping stone to the Institute. Don't even touch the door without this.
This also gives those academics who have been kicked out of the academy a way out, but it is not known how many people are willing to change careers.
Under Wayne's management, Nolan's first newspaper, The Nolan Times, was also established, with a scholar named Muhamnes as its president. Muhammad gladly accepted, though Wayne did not specify what was in the newspaper.
But Muhamsin chose the content of the story according to the audience.
Part 1.
"Flying across the Shenjian River, abandoning the twin peaks".
Part II.
"Reflections on the 'New Era of Soldiers'".
Part III.
The Theory of Liftoff of Hot Air Balloons
....
The first edition of the newspaper still had an academic flavor, but it was also as relevant to the people as possible. The election is also a matter of concern to the people.
"Wise, the newspaper got you back. Tell your son to read it. ”
A calloused young man in a worker's costume with a newspaper in his hand ran over quickly.
"Hurry, hurry. ”
A middle-aged man took the newspaper and handed it to his son beside him.
"Bellman, read louder, your uncles and brothers are all listening with their ears out. ”
Bellman took the newspaper and said in a childish voice.
"Gee, the teacher spent it all over the school for me. Just listen. ”
Bellman coughed as the teacher spoke.
"The first article, "Flying over the Shenjian River, Abandoning the Twin Peaks"
"Wait, fly by, is it possible that the Iron Fist Army has wings?"
The middle-aged man hurriedly said.
"Go, go, you know. This is called a metaphor, which shows that our Iron Fist Army wants to fly after the Shen Jian River in one day, you know a fart. ”
Bellman didn't know this word originally, so he had to mess around, but now his father helped him round the field, of course, and quickly received it.
"Yes, that's what the teacher said. ”
"Hey, hey. ”
The man laughed proudly, he had taken a few night classes, and this time he overheard it. I can use it this time, and I used it right. It made him so unhappy.
Obviously, newspapers have brought new ways of receiving information and entertainment to citizens. Even though the language is still clearly awkward, sales have been increasing. In short supply.
At this time, Wayne also held the "Nolan Times" in his hand and looked at the headline roughly. This is also something he is familiar with, and this Muhan Xing is still good. It's just that the language needs to be improved, and the first title is good.
As for the depth of the content, it is the second article, and Wayne didn't expect that now some scholars have begun to study the deep content behind "New Era Soldiers".
Although it is still very superficial stuff, with further excavation. More and more people will come to study it, and then it will be the formation of an ideological craze.
