Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 662
On the roof of the six-story science and engineering building of Daming Institute of Technology, hung a bronze bell weighing two thousand catties. This bell was called Xingshi Zhong, and the name naturally came from Liu Hongjian's hand.

Each subject in the School of Engineering has a clear schedule, and the instructors usually stare at the pendulum at the back of the school, and at the end of a class, they verbally call out the class as the bell.

The pendulum was handed down from Matteo Ricci in Italy to Daming in the Wanli period, and it has not been popularized in Daming even after several decades, the reason is very simple, it is too expensive.

Ordinary people can't afford it, and rich people influenced by Confucianism prefer to use the original clepsydra, clepsydra, clepsydra or sundial to keep time, and they don't care much about foreign pendulums.

But Liu Hongjian scoffed at this. No one knows better than him which timekeeping tool is more scientific and accurate. In the three-acre land of the Engineering College, he has the final say, and the problems that money can solve are not problems. As for the office area of ​​every school and even teaching office in the engineering college, there is a big pendulum.

The big clock on the roof of the science and engineering building is usually not used, and the wake-up clock is only rung when there is an important event to be announced and the whole college needs to be notified.

clang - clang - clang -

The ringing of the bell was loud and melodious, covering the entire engineering college and its surroundings directly. Whether in the dormitory, in the school, or still wandering outside the engineering college, the students and instructors all walked towards the spacious playground in front of the engineering building. go.

After a while, the playground was full of students from all over the place. Since there was no prior notice, the students were all whispering and discussing why they were called.

Liu Hongjian, Song Yingxing, Xu Ji, and a group of instructors stood on the platform in front of the Science and Engineering Building. Xu Ji, who was already grey-haired, glanced at Song Yingxing, as if he was asking Master Fangshan what he was going to do.

But Song Yingxing just shook his head slightly, because Liu Hongjian just said that he would come to the Institute of Technology to have a look, who knew that he would ring the wake-up clock as soon as he came.

"Quiet! Quiet!" Seeing Liu Hongjian coughing lightly, Niu Da Bangchui naturally knew that his master was about to start acting aggressive, oh, he was about to start speaking, and directly yelled at the playground with his own loudspeaker.

"It's been a long time since Benshan came to the Institute of Engineering. Are you all working hard to learn?" Liu Hongjian waved to more than 1000 students on the playground and smiled.

Most of these students were fifteen or sixteen years old. In Liu Hongjian's eyes, they were just a group of middle school students, but now they looked more like their elder brothers.

"Yes!" The hundred and ten students in the front row shouted.

"What? I didn't hear clearly. Is it because the college didn't give you enough food? Speak up!" Liu Hongjian pretended to be unhappy.

"Yes!" Thousands of people shouted in unison, and the decibel increased more than ten times in an instant.

"Well, this seems to be the case, the king established the mountain to find a way to make a living for you, and I hope that you can use the skills you have learned to benefit the people of Daming while supporting your own family.

Hearing from Mr. Song Shan that the students of all subjects completed all the courses in only one year, I am very pleased. "Liu Hongjian said with a smile without hesitation.

As soon as Liu Hongjian finished speaking, the students on the playground immediately showed joy, and each looked at the classmates around him, and they all saw the same joy in the eyes of the classmates.

The schooling period of Daming Institute of Technology was originally two years, but Liu Hongjian underestimated the energy and research spirit of the ancients.

Even though the college stipulates that all students must choose one compulsory subject and two elective subjects, the teaching progress of the lecturers is still changed again and again, because the students who have the ability of self-study have already finished what they are going to teach.

They are all children from poor families. If the family is not too poor, who would have guessed that there would not be a champion among these people?

They can't afford the government schools run by government uniforms. Now that they finally have such a free college that teaches them how to read, write, and learn science and engineering, how can they not study hard?
It’s not all about repaying the college. Although the college has borne all the expenses, they don’t want to eat and drink here. After all, there are poor family members at home. Most of them just hope to finish learning what the college teaches as soon as possible so that they can go out and earn a living for their families. burden.

In addition, the textbooks of various subjects in the College of Engineering are still relatively thin, and even the masters of engineering who have been scoured from the north and south of the Ming Dynasty cannot have endless knowledge waiting to learn like the universities of later generations.

"It's just that the schooling period set by our college is two years, and the rules cannot be broken. Even if you think you are good enough, that's not okay!" Liu Hongjian emphasized.

A group of students who were about to cheer for joy calmed down in an instant, oh no, they fainted in an instant.

They originally thought that Mr. Shan Chang hadn't come to the engineering college for several months, and now he came here and rang the wake-up bell, he must have come to announce their early graduation.

But it never occurred to them that instead of letting them graduate, they also solemnly declared that they would not be able to graduate early in the future, which was definitely bad news for them.

"Don't be so dejected! You are still so young, and you still have a lot to learn, so why rush at this moment?" Liu Hongjian didn't expect that a few casual words would deal such a blow to this group of young people.

He had never lived a hard life, and he became an earl when he came to Daming, and he couldn't understand the hopelessness of a family struggling with life and death in the cold winter months.

"Confucius, an old man, said that it is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand volumes of books. Now you have just finished learning what the academy entrusted to you, but in my eyes, this is far from enough." Liu Hongjian stared at him with piercing eyes. Looking at the students on the playground who listened carefully to his speech.

Uncle Song and Uncle Xu looked at each other, thinking that Mr. Shanda started to talk nonsense again, which was obviously said by Mr. Dong Qichang.

Dong Qichang was an official to the Nanjing Ministry of Rites and died in the ninth year of Chongzhen. If Uncle Dong knew that this guy was fabricating him, the coffin board would probably be kicked away.

"I don't even feel sorry for raising you for nothing for another year. Why are you so anxious? The engineering college shouldn't just talk about it on paper!
Now Ben Wang announces that all the students of the School of Engineering will go out for internships in the second academic year! "Liu Hongjian revealed his final intention of coming.

Whether it is mining or smelting, whether it is civil engineering or water conservancy engineering, learning on paper is superficial, and in the end it has to be tested in actual combat. In Liu Hongjian's eyes, these young people have not smoothed their edges and corners Semi-finished products.

"Internship?" Not only the students on the playground, but also the instructors on the platform were puzzled, it was the first time they had heard of this term.

"The mining department can go to various places to explore ores, whether it is coal mines or iron mines, the more gold, silver and copper mines, the better.

It doesn’t matter if the Kanhe issued by the Kezhi Academy of the Metallurgical Department goes to the smelting workshops of the Ministry of Industry, or to the workshops under Xishan Shanghe, as well as those who study civil engineering and water conservancy. Let me go out of the academy and use my own ability Prove it to me.

The internship period is one year, and there is no monthly payment during the internship period, but the workshops will provide meals, and the excavation department will be paid by the college according to the exploration distance. After one year, the king will wait for you here. It’s a mule or a horse, so let’s take it out for a walk.

There are treasures everywhere in Daming, it's all up to you to pick them up! "Liu Hongjian said solemnly.

PS: Pushing a friend's book "Rise Up in the Tang Dynasty", Tianbao's eight-year Tang Dynasty should have been undercurrents and heading for decadence.But here he is.

Friends who are short of books can read it.

　Thank you book friends for the 100 taels rewarded by lighting up the lamp and looking at the ax while drunk.
