golden scales

The third year of Longjing coincided with [-] in the Christian calendar, and the Inquisition of the Holy See was still executing heresies. Modern science was like a weak bud, vacillating between truth and religion.At this time, there are no star-like scientists born, and the natural sciences of the whole world are promoted by a few people.

Such as René Descartes, he won the first Kui Xin Award, but unfortunately he failed to receive the bonus.

Another example is Blaise Pascal.He is a teenage genius. Mastered Euclid's "Elements of Geometry" at the age of 12, and discovered the famous Pascal's hexagonal theorem at the age of 16; at the age of 17, he wrote "Theory of Conic Sections" - which is the greatest progress in the theory of conic sections since Apollonius in ancient Greece .

In [-], Pascal designed and produced an addition and subtraction calculation device capable of automatic carry, known as the world's first digital calculator, which provided the basic principles for future computer design.If Zhu Cihong hadn't published the pressure law a year earlier, the pressure units of later generations would also be named after him.

This genius has just passed the age and is in the prime of life.He got to know Daming who was far away from the edge of the world because he heard that Descartes won the Kui Xin Award.

For Pascal, who has always been frail and sickly, it is really a desperate task to travel across the ocean to the far east, but fortunately, Chinese medicine is the most organized. Tang Wang Zhu Yujian, who invited Pascal to Ming Dynasty, specially arranged for two doctors as Pascal health advisor to ensure his health on long journeys.It was this kind of courtesy that made Pascal feel good about Daming, and he was very willing to spread his research results in Daming.However, when he arrived in Daming, Pascal was exposed to the scientific achievements of Daming for the first time when he stayed in the visiting professor’s courtyard arranged by Jingshi University——

"These studies have gone further than me." Pascal said facing calculus.

"I can only improve Daming's hydraulic press. It's really frustrating to think about it." Pascal said after reading Daming's textbook.The mood was low for a while.

However, he has a genius that ordinary people don't have. After accepting the Ming Dynasty's scientific system, he quickly showed the power of genius, invented mercury barometers one after another, and made great achievements in gates, pistons, etc.In the end, he turned his attention to the study of cycloids, and studied pendulum clocks with Christian Huygens, so as to facilitate the longitude position of ships sailing at sea.

Christian Huygens was a genius no less than Pascal. He built a lathe by himself at the age of 13.After that, he made many achievements in mathematics, astronomy, physics, etc., and his research field was similar to that of Pascal.He was six years younger than Pascal, and he was also invited by King Tang.Went to Daming as one of the visiting professors of Jingshi University.Beneath these two geniuses, there are many European scholars and missionaries.Now that the entire European economy is in a post-war slump, it is naturally a very good choice to go to the East to earn high-purity silver.In particular, the scientific strength displayed by the Ming Dynasty is no less than that of Europe, and from the introductions of the princes, it can be seen that there is no religious pressure in the Ming Dynasty, and the academic environment is more relaxed than that of Europe.

The new ideas brought by these Europeans.Undoubtedly, it gave great impetus to the scientific development of the Ming Dynasty, and it also became an opportunity for the official establishment of the Emperor Ming Academy of Sciences.

In the early morning of the twelfth day of the first lunar month in the fourth year of Longjing, the third son of the emperor was born.

It took only half an hour for Queen Duan to be pushed into the delivery room to the end of the delivery, which can be described as extremely smooth.Therefore, the third son's baby name was called Brother Jia, and he was more loved by Duan than his two elder brothers.

The banquet to celebrate the birth of the third son of the emperor was held in the evening of that day. In addition to the civil and military officials in Beijing, there were also gentlemen from Jingshi University and Xinglin University—they contributed a lot.

During the banquet, Zhu Cihong received Pascal and Huygens, two great Western scholars.And under their suggestion, as a scientist, take the lead in setting up a fixed academic society, so that outstanding scientists from all over the world can participate.Help each other and jointly promote the scientific progress of mankind.

As a result, the establishment of Himin Academy of Sciences was officially put on the agenda, and finally eighteen chief scientists were selected, and the eighteen chief scientists elected the chairman.There is no doubt that Zhu Cihong assumed the position of chairman because of his busy schedule.Therefore, a secretariat was set up to handle daily affairs.

Pascal is the only foreign academician among the eighteen chief scientists.Huygens because of his young age.And there is not enough research results, of course, lost.However, he is still the youngest academician of the Academy of Sciences.

The new Academy of Sciences compound is located next to Jingshi University, which is also a place with beautiful mountains, rivers and scenery.This compound is only responsible for the gathering and temporary residence of the academicians of the Academy of Sciences, and the research institutions borrow the laboratories and experimental sites of Jingshi University.

As a courtesy, Daming's current most high-end technological product, the steam engine, is also open to them.Only a part of the actual application is the business secret of each company, only a few researchers can know it with the help of the court, and it will not be disclosed to the public.

The current steam engine is no longer the era that anyone could imitate as long as they knew the principle two years ago.Even if the Europeans know the various data indicators, they cannot manufacture them with their craftsmanship.

Liao Zhen, Bo Huiyuan, is also one of the eighteen chief scientists. He no longer participates in the Liao family's gravel and road construction industries. Instead, he brings his disciples and nephews to specialize in the research of steam engines. A new model with higher energy efficiency and lighter weight.

Now his research has been getting faster and faster ahead of Jingshi University, like a strong player in the field of science.

This also prompted Zhu Cihong to invest in royal capital, not only for high profits, but also to protect this high-tech enterprise.

It was Liao Zhen and his "Huangming Power" that made Longjing's four-year spring plowing a cross-age product such as the "plow machine".

In the season of warm spring and flowers in North China, which is also the time of busy farming, five huge plow machines, under the watchful eyes of His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor, lighted fires to store heat, and roared amidst the billowing smoke, dragging heavy plow machines. The iron teeth broke through the soil and pulled out straight waves of soil.

All the onlookers were ecstatic, especially when they found that there were two women on the plow machine, one was holding the steering wheel, and the other was shoveling coal into the furnace with a shovel.This means that women will also be able to undertake heavy farm work in the future, leaving men to do more lucrative work.

"Why don't you wrap the stove? Isn't it a waste of coal to be exposed like this?" Chongzhen pointed to the exposed stove.

The design of this plow machine is more like an old locomotive. The furnace chamber is exposed to the outside to dissipate heat and prevent the operator from being disturbed by the high temperature.

Before Zhu Cihong could answer, there was a burst of applause among the onlookers. It turned out that the plow machine turned a big bend and plowed back from the other end.Who wouldn't be excited to see his busy half-day workload being completed so easily?

Chongzhen also quickly put technical problems behind him, and praised: "If every village in Daming has this machine, it will save labor during busy farming!"

"This machine has too much water and coal, so it's really inconvenient to use it in places that don't produce coal." Zhu Cihong said, "My son wants to use it in Liaoning and Haixi, where the land is vast and coal-producing, and it's just right to cultivate it. come out as a great granary."

Zhu Cilang knows the passionate story of developing the Great Northern Wilderness in another time and space.In that story, the young republic mobilized [-] troops to reclaim the Great Northern Wilderness. Although it used the sign of "mechanization", the country at that time was poor and empty, and tractors and cars were nothing. Barracks, don't they still turn the Northeast into an important grain-producing area in China?

Although there are not many plow machines today, the population of Daming is only 3000 million. There are also food supply areas such as Huguang, Annan, and Siam. The demand for food in the Northeast is not urgent, and it can be taken slowly.

The birth of the plow machine occupied most of the pages of "Emperor Ming Bulletin" and northern newspapers.

It took a month for these newspapers to reach Yongming County, Mowenhe Prefecture, Chief Secretary of Haixi, but the young man holding this newspaper skipped the relevant reports without blinking, and quickly flipped through the pages until he saw A report the size of a piece of dried tofu has just been carefully read.

This is a reposted article from a Jiangnan newspaper, to the effect that Wulin University discovered a folk prescription from a certain temple in Changzhou, and studies have shown that the medicine made by this method has a better therapeutic effect than other medicinal materials.

Specifically, the monks in the temple scraped the penicillium that grew on the fruit into a jar mixed with rice juice and taro juice, sealed it, buried it in the ground, and took it out after several years.Using this juice to treat patients with fever due to gold sore infection has surprisingly good curative effect.Because it is not easy to prepare, this medicine is also called Avalokitesvara. According to the monks, it is the mana of Avalokitesvara.

However, the contemporary Ming Dynasty has already had the concept of bacteria, and has long had the philosophical thought of the creation and restraint of all things, so it is natural not to believe that it is the magic power of Guanyin.Otherwise, it is enough for the master to blow his breath, why should he be buried in the soil for several years?

So Wulin University imitated this concoction, but instead of burying it in the soil, it kept the temperature constant, increased the concentration of rice juice and taro juice, and finally found that the concoction’s effect was closely related to Penicillium, pure rice juice and taro The juice has no medicinal properties.So this newly discovered agent is called "penicillium agent". Although the output is very small, the effect is surprisingly good.

"In this way, the army in Xiding America will be even more powerful." Yang Wei closed the newspaper in his hand and walked out of his office.

He has now carried the captain's star emblem, is attached to the North Korean Division of the Far East Front Army, and serves as the assistant to the chief of staff of the division's staff department.This time he came to Yongming City to contact the tank division that also belonged to the Far East Front Army, and agreed on the defense area and communication code.
