Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 604

It's just that Chongzhen still has a doubt.

"Youming, if you want to increase the electricity by a hundred times, how many potatoes do you need?" Chongzhen asked seriously.

Potatoes are the life-saving food of Ming Dynasty. They are a strategic resource that is related to the safety of the people of Ming Dynasty. If potatoes are used to generate electricity, more people will have no food to eat.

But if this electricity is used in war, it is really an artifact bestowed by God, but you can't have both, which makes Uncle Chongzhen feel very uncomfortable.

"Hahaha! The Supreme Emperor always cares about the sufferings of the people. It is really my Ming's blessing." Liu Hongjian was amused by the serious Uncle Chongzhen.

Chongzhen actually thought of using countless potatoes to increase the power. No wonder, electricity was unheard of for these ancients, and they thought that electricity could only be produced from potatoes.

"There is a reason for all things, the principle of transformation, the chemical substances in potatoes can be converted into electricity, the wind in the mountains can also be used, and the water in the river can also be used. As long as all disciples are united and work hard, the sun above our heads can also be converted into electricity. !"

Liu Hongjian talked and laughed happily, his face was surprisingly confident.

"Then when will it be developed?" Chongzhen asked another question that he was very concerned about.

Yes, when will such a situation be realized?
Wanting to increase the power is not just a matter of talk, it involves too many technical difficulties and safety issues. At this time, there is no generator or even rubber, so it is a big problem!

"It won't be long, my lord, as long as the imperial court is willing to support engineering, within a few years, electricity will definitely be used by Ming." Liu Hongjian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

Among various power generation methods such as wind power, thermal power, solar power, and hydropower, hydropower is the easiest and cheapest to realize.

But that is in later generations, and the site selection requirements for hydropower generation are high. Without machinery, the construction of super dams requires more manpower, material resources and risks.

But it doesn't matter, he believes in the wisdom of the Chinese people, as long as he points out this way, thousands of engineering successors can always get everything done.

Besides, he still has the manual in his hand.

"Oh, it seems that I won't see you in this life, what a pity!" Chongzhen sighed.

"People are mortal, and they are heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. Your kindness and diligence will be praised by future generations. Now you should live more easily. No one knows what will happen tomorrow, right? ?”

Liu Hongjian did not immediately say nonsense like other courtiers, such as the emperor must be favored by heaven, live a long life, and live as long as heaven, but expressed his views based on his simple understanding of life and death.

Sometimes he thought, what would he do if he had only one day left to live?
Looking for a place to lament the injustice of fate?To cry and beg God for mercy?
No, no, he wants to hug the three cuties at home, eat the last delicious meal, admire the last new moon, do things that he wanted to do before but had no chance or courage to do, to...

In short, there will be no self-admiration, love and sorrow.

"Hehe, you are good at comforting people, but I am not as cowardly as you think. I have already put life and death lightly, and now I am happy. If I have regrets, I just sigh why my ancestors didn't send you down sooner. " Chongzhen said with a slight smile.

If it had been earlier, perhaps the people in the north would not have suffered so many massacres!

The potato power generation experiment stunned hundreds of people, including the teaching staff. Most of the teaching staff were staring at the half-eaten potatoes, two ordinary metal wires, and dead ants in the tray. .

For those of them who have been immersed in Confucianism for most of their lives, perhaps new things are even more difficult for them to accept.

But the young disciples were different, they had only a half-knowledge of Confucianism, and many of them were even illiterate when they came to the engineering college.

They are blank slates for natural sciences, physics, biology, chemistry, etc. It all depends on what the engineering college can teach them.

One of the reasons why Liu Hongjian came to give this class to the disciples of the Engineering College is to break their blind worship of Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism, to broaden the horizons of these young disciples, and let them know that science is the only thing that can explain everything in the world is the second.

"There are two iron balls in the other tray, but the head of the mountain is not interested in demonstrating the experiment to you." Liu Hongjian lifted the red sermon on the other tray on the table.

"Interested students can take these two iron balls, one large and one small, to the top floor of this building, and drop the two iron balls at the same time. You will find that the two iron balls of different weights will landing.

As for why, the head of the mountain will not give you all, it is up to you to think for yourself.

If someone can use the science of physics to understand it, Mr. Motoyama guarantees that your name will go down in history. "Liu Hongjian picked up the two iron balls and asked the disciples behind him to look at them, and said provocatively.

After Liu Hongjian finished speaking, there were a few instructions in the front row and he couldn't sit still. Isn't this misleading his disciples?
If two objects, one light and one heavy, fall at the same time, naturally the heavy one will hit the ground first. You can go to the street and drag an illiterate old man to tell you the answer.

An instructor next to him wanted to stand up and refute, but was held down by his colleagues.

Everyone can see Li Cunhou's embarrassment, and now that the Supreme Emperor is here, it is not the subordinate's actions to refute the head of the mountain in public. If the Supreme Emperor is displeased again, won't it be against himself?

There is no evidence for empty talk, so let's wait until after class to find a few colleagues to experiment, so that Master Shanchang can refrain from his misleading behavior.

It's just that the young disciples in the back didn't think so. Now they have almost worshiped Liu Hongjian, giving them food and clothing, reading and literacy for them, and letting them appreciate the mysteries of everything.

Leave a name in history!

If you can still be famous in history without relying on imperial examinations in this life, what regrets in this life?
"Now the head of the mountain announces that starting from today, Daming Institute of Technology, every fifteenth and the end of the month, the teachers of each subject will take their undergraduate students out to teach!

The civil engineering department went to study pavilions, the water conservancy department went to investigate rivers, bridges and dams, the mining department went to explore minerals in the mountains, and the smelting department went to the workshop to observe and emulate..."

Liu Hongjian calmly and unquestionably announced the new regulations of the Faculty of Engineering to the teaching decrees present.

In the face of science, we must dare to question the so-called authority.

The engineering college should not be an ivory tower. There was Wang Shouren who learned about things, and today there are students of the engineering college who learn about things and learn about the principles of physics and the principles of all things.

get out!

To observe the world, to appreciate the majesty of mountains and the danger of rivers!
To study the wonders of all things, the smallest details!
to experience, to try...
