Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 77
"Are you a chemist?" Chu Yun looked at Humphrey in surprise, unexpectedly he was an expert in many fields.

When it comes to chemists, people may not be able to think of famous people. Chu Yun also thought of Mendeleev, Nobel, Marie Curie and others. As for Humphrey, um, I don’t seem to have much impression.

"It is my idea to produce metal elements by electrolysis. I discovered elements such as potassium, sodium, barium, magnesium, calcium, and strontium..." Humphrey said aggrievedly, "It turns out that I am so unknown in later generations." .”

"Helium, lithium, beryllium, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and neon... I still know about this." Chu Yun didn't expect the person in front of him to be so powerful, and he was probably one of the first batch of super masters among chemists, probably equivalent to Newton and others in mathematics. The status of the world is the same.It's just that Chu Yun is not very familiar with the field of chemistry, so it's normal if he doesn't recognize it.

"During these days, Mr. Humphrey will still be troublesome to manufacture a practical safe light. After the safe light is successfully mass-produced, Mr. Humphrey can take up a job in the Department of Chemistry of our Academy of Sciences, teaching chemistry and doing some things you like. Chemical research work." Chu Yun thought to get a safe light technology by himself, and the system even sent a chemist over, which just solved the serious shortage of personnel in the Academy of Sciences.

At present, the Academy of Sciences mainly has some professors and scientists summoned in the 18th century to shoulder the work of teaching and scientific research, and there is an endless stream of people who go to the Academy of Sciences to study, crowding the "Science Square" in front of the Academy of Sciences.The Liao army has four promotion paths, one is to make military exploits and become an officer with illustrious military exploits, the other is to become a senior craftsman through hard work, the other is to study in the army lecture hall and navy lecture hall and become a low-level officer, and finally One is to accept private school education or directly enter the Academy of Sciences to become a scientific and technological talent and civil servant.

In the Ming Dynasty, where everything was low-grade, only the reading was high. Although the knowledge of the Academy of Sciences was different from the boring stereotyped essays, it was another form of education.The so-called excellent learning leads to an official. After studying in the Academy of Sciences and receiving basic science education, the possibility of becoming a small official in southern Liaoning is more reliable than the imperial examination.At least Chu Yun deliberately arranged for people educated by the Academy of Sciences to become officials.

"Everything is subject to your lord's arrangement." Humphrey was not dissatisfied with Chu Yun's arrangement.

After sending people to escort Humphrey to the metallurgical plant, the mine gas explosion incident was basically resolved.After the promotion of safety lights, it may effectively eliminate the shadow of miners.

Next, Chu Yun wants to start steam locomotive technology!How can it be considered an industrial revolution without steam trains billowing in smoke and speeding across the vast land!At least steam locomotives have always been a stalk in Chu Yun's mind.

"Is the system in place? I want to activate the 'steam locomotive' technology, and the 3000 civilization points are ready." Chu Yun said to himself.

"The host, you have chosen the steam locomotive technology of the 19th century. The system has found that this technology has pre-technology, and is checking whether the pre-technology has been completed..."

Oops, there is also pre-tech!Chu Yun never expected that he seemed to be a little far away from steam locomotive technology.

"The inspection is complete. If you want to open the steam locomotive technology, the host needs to open the 'Modern Machine Tool Technology', 'Parts Technology', 'Locomotive Boiler Technology', and 'Early 19th Century Metallurgy Technology'. When you open the steam locomotive technology, the system It is recommended that you enable 'Standard Rail Technology'." The system said.

"..." There are so many front-end technologies to be activated?Chu Yun frowned, his steam locomotive dream was clearly within reach, yet far away.And why the system has an additional recommendation function, which seems to bind the "steam locomotive" technology with the "standard rail" technology.But it seems reasonable, without rails, where would this steam locomotive go?
"May I ask how many civilization points are needed to activate the above technology?" Chu Yun asked cautiously.

"After calculation, a total of 12000 civilization points are needed." The system replied.

12000 civilization points, 4 times that of the simple steam locomotive technology!Chu Yun was about to cry. He had worked so hard to accumulate civilization points for several months, but he was still a little short of being able to unlock these technologies.

"Then I would like to ask, how many civilization points are needed to summon Edison?" Chu Yun found out that the steam locomotive technology in the early 19th century alone required 12000 civilization points, and the civilization points required for the latter technologies are not very scary. ?
"Technologies such as the opening point require pre-technology, electrical technology in basic science, practical generator technology, cable technology, glass technology, etc... IMHO, your current civilization point is still far behind..." the system said here , fell silent.

Oh, I was even slightly despised by this broken system.Chu Yun made some calculations.It is so difficult for me to start the technology in the late period of the first industrial revolution. The practical power technology of the second industrial revolution must require more civilization points than the first industrial revolution.As for the civilization points needed for the third industrial revolution, that is, the information age, that is the truly astronomical figure.

"System, you wait for me, I will be able to collect 12000 civilization points in half a month, remember to reserve Stephenson for me, and call him out for me when the time comes." The industrial revolution system is used a lot Now, Chu Yun talked to the system much more casually.Although the system doesn't like him.

When Humphrey arrived at the smelter, he quickly developed safety lights for mining, and the first batch of one hundred safety lights were sent to the Gaizhou mining field.The mining workers in the mining field heard that Chu Yun hastily developed a new type of mining lamp, which can effectively reduce the risk of gas explosions. They praised Chu Yun for a while, and the mine was jubilant.

Humphrey was also arranged by Chu Yun to enter the Chemistry Department of the Academy of Sciences "because of his merit" and became another scientist of the Academy of Sciences.Since every person in the Academy of Sciences who has the honor of 'scientist' has a certain number of admissions, so a new scientist entering the Academy of Sciences means that the Academy of Sciences has some more places.Xiangfang, a scholar in southern Liaoning who heard the news, tried to inquire about this scientist named Humphrey, and also hoped that he could become his student and have the opportunity to study in the Academy of Sciences.Even if they didn't know that Humphrey enrolled in the true meaning of the subject of "chemistry".

"The Academy of Sciences is so hot that countless people want to get in..." Chen Ting received the news that the Academy of Sciences was short of administrative staff, and he was very worried.

Chu Yun didn't expect that everyone would flock to the Academy of Sciences, a place where he could be a non-commissioned officer.

"It would be nice to divide the Academy of Sciences into the Department of Natural Sciences and the Department of Humanities, and then set up two higher education institutions in Fuzhou and Gaizhou, directly under the leadership of the Academy of Sciences." Chu Yun said helplessly.
