Chapter 216: The First Man in Mechanics

..

Of course, Wang Hongyu knew that the Hongyi cannon was powerful.

I have already started preparations with Liu Ruoyu, Xu Guangqi, Li Tiezhu and others.

Now that Jinnige has proposed it, it is just time to brush him up and let the old outsiders contribute to the drawings.

As soon as the drawings were mentioned, the Jinnige Pavilion was fine, and there were other missionaries not far away who suddenly had strange faces.

Of course, this is to recall that they used the drawings of the fortress and galleons in exchange for the "Ming Dynasty" to crowd out the Dutch.

At this time, they were afraid that the drawings were because the Dutch had come to make trouble again.

Wang Hongyu planned to use the Dutch sword of Damorisk in the future, but now that he has used it too much, the effect is not beautiful.

"What Mr. Kinnige said is very true, I would like to recruit some craftsmen from Ho Kiang O and Luzon to specialize in building heavy artillery for the navy."

"Okay, these people have some Huang Kezhang Shangshu before, and we will definitely be able to find them in the future, and we will also make some suggestions."

The matter of the Hongyi cannon was preliminarily decided.

Although the cannon made by the uncle and nephew of the Lu family before could not reach the weight of the Hongyi cannon, it could also participate in the manufacture.

Jinnige didn't seem to finish speaking, and smiled mysteriously at Wang Hongyu: "Mr. Tolkien, I have good news for you. "

Wang Hongyu knew that he was saying good news, and he was definitely not joking: "Oh? That must be a good thing. "

"That's right, I'll introduce you to a person, he is a person from Shaanxi Province, who is taking the Jinshi exam in the capital, but he has come under my disciple, and now he is especially interested in mathematics, geometry, and mechanics."

"Oh?"

As soon as he described it, Wang Hongyu thought of a person.

Wang Zheng.

Jinnige introduced: "Wang Zheng, I believe that he will definitely become your right-hand man Tolkien. "

Really~

Wang Zheng also came to the scene.

The two men walked up to a scribe of ordinary stature, of ordinary appearance, of mediocre physique, who seemed to have no distinguishing features, and who could not be found when thrown into the crowd.

If you look closer, you can see that he has a slightly long beard, and he looks like he is about forty or fifty years old, although he looks like an ordinary person from a distance, but when he looks closer, he can see that his eyes are bright and intelligent.

"Mr. Wang Zheng, I've wanted to know you for a long time." Wang Hongyu is a junior, although his position is high, he still takes the initiative to greet the civilian Wang Zheng first.

"General Wang, I heard that you are particularly interested in the industry?"

"That's right."

Jinnige saw the stitches just right: "You are all surnamed Wang, according to the Oriental saying, it is called the family." We must be able to work together and achieve great results. "

Several people communicated.

Wang Hongyu went south to Yunyang this time, intending to use the field of science to develop the cultural, productive and economic conditions in the jurisdiction.

This is inseparable from mathematics, geometry, and mechanics. Moreover, to build a library, but also to print books and open a bookstore, which also requires talented translators, Western to Chinese, Chinese to Western, Wang Cheng is very suitable for this.

Wang Zheng readily agreed.

Although his father was a talented man, he liked the "miscellaneous studies" in the eyes of Confucianism such as nine chapters of arithmetic, which had a direct impact on his later enthusiasm for the study of Western science and technology and his inventions and creations.

….

Since he was seven years old, he has lived in his grandfather's house, and has had a close relationship with his grandfather's family since he was a child.

In the twenty-second year of Wanli, Wang Zheng was raised. Before becoming an official, he was engaged in the study of science in his hometown, and began to engage in the improvement and discovery of some agricultural tools and daily utensils.

Wang Zheng has never been admitted to the Jinshi examination, but now he is not too worried, because real talent and real learning are more important than fame.

Instead, some missionaries advised him to take the exam and make him an official so that he could help spread the word about them.

However, Wang Hongyu and Jin Nige also suggested that it was not for this, but hoped that Wang Zheng could gain more voice and influence in the exchanges between the East and the West.

..

Preliminary exchanges, negotiated Wang Zheng's participation in Wang Hongyu's plan.

Including following the industry, translating books, exchanging theories, and promoting the friendship between the Ming and Rome.

Wang Hongyu's strong army also made Wang Zheng quite happy.

Because Daming has such a strong army, not that the West is stronger than the East, this makes his inner self-confidence and sense of honor stronger, and he will not be led away by missionaries.

Wang Hongyu pondered the record of Wang Zheng carefully.

Historically, in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, he assisted Jinnige in completing the writing of the book "Western Confucian Ears and Eyes", which was the first linguistic monograph in China to use romanization and phonetics.

Later, together with the famous scientist Deng Yuhan, he compiled "The Illustration of Strange Artifacts in the Far West", which was published in the seventh year of the Apocalypse. This book mainly describes the knowledge of statics in Western antiquity and the Renaissance, including geocentrism, the center of gravity and its solution, the volume of water, the volume of floating bodies, the specific gravity, simple machinery and its combined use.

The Illustrated Diagram of Far Western Strange Instruments is the first compilation of Western mechanics in China.

Wang Zheng has made great contributions to the dissemination of modern science and the promotion of cultural exchanges, and was once known as "Xu Guangqi in the South, Wang Zheng in the North".

Wang Hongyu suddenly thought of an interesting thing.

Wang Zheng in front of him can be regarded as the first person in mechanics before modern times in the East.

At this time, although the Ming Dynasty was inferior to Europe in this regard, European mechanics only accumulated some achievements in the classical period, and in the Renaissance period, Leonardo da Vinci carried forward his engineering achievements, and after the Great Voyage, Galileo really created the science of mechanics in theory.

In other words, if Wang Zheng learns mechanics, if he can lead a group of people to learn it, the gap will be very limited.

Therefore, overtaking in corners is indispensable for Wang Zheng to contribute.

Just now, in terms of theory, in terms of engineering technology, Wang Zheng could also rank in the top five at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the first person in craftsmanship, the emperor is right~

Wang Zheng, who is in the top five, is the first person in China to invent a bicycle.

But this bike is not the other's bike.

His "Illustration of the Strange Instruments of the Far West" describes the invented bicycle as follows:

"The car travels on the ground, the wheels are four, the first two wheels each have axles, and the axles are toothless. The last two wheels are twice as high as the front wheel, a total of one shaft, the wheel dies on the shaft, there are six teeth in the shaft, all of which are made of iron, that is, the shaft teeth are suspended above the wheel and the wheel is four......

The heavier it is, the faster it goes, and if it is not heavy, it can't move. The weight is exhausted. Then there is another machine to go up. If there is an uneven place that is difficult to enter, there is another half round of urging the rod to urge it, if the so-called flowing horse is also. It's hard to get the most out of it.

In short, there is no name of wooden cattle but the practicality of wooden cows; Or to multiply, or to carry weight. People and the re-correction of their urging machine cloud ears. I have made a small sample, and I can ...... three zhang by myself."

In short, this is a four-wheeled vehicle, with a four-wheel drive structure with gears, and then presumably driven by a clockwork and torsion, using the gravity of a person or cargo to torque the clockwork, so that it really walks on its own bicycle.

This thing was invented to be a big "toy".

Wang Hongyu wants to give him some guidance and get the two-wheeled bicycle out of the future.

"By the way, does Mr. Liangfu have the idea of inventing devices, especially bicycles?"

Liangfu is the character of Wang Zheng, and it is better to call the character after knowing it, rather than the name.

"Yes!" Wang Zheng's eyes lit up, and he was very motivated.
