Reborn Wu Dalang

"Although what the governor said is different from the study of sages and sages, when you think about it carefully, many of the contents seem to have surpassed the studies of sages and sages." Qin Hui said.

"I don't dare to do that." Wu Dong laughed.

These are actually some scientific methodologies of later generations!The patriarch of modern scientific methodology is Bacon. In his time, he always opposed the classical European scholasticism. He believed that scholasticism was divorced from reality, advocated empty talk, and played with concepts. These are not very beneficial to social development!In fact, when you think about it carefully, there are also great similarities between ancient European scholastic philosophy and Chinese Confucianism. Chinese Confucianism itself is also divorced from reality, and the exclusive respect for Confucianism even inhibits the development of science!Wu Dong imparted scientific methodology to these people in front of him today, hoping that these people can once again break free from the shackles of their minds and become real scholars.

"Admiration!" Li Gang also said at the moment.

He thought carefully just now, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Wu Dong said just now contained profound wisdom!In a way, these things seem to be more useful to society than the emptiness of sages!Originally, his respect for Wu Dong was mainly due to Wu Dong's great talent, but now he also began to admire him in terms of knowledge.

"Have you decided when to take the exam?" Wu Dong asked.

"The first day of April!" Qin Hui said.

Wu Dong couldn't help but smile when he heard this.In modern times, that's April Fool's Day, but it sure is a very auspicious day in this day and age.Generally speaking, even in Liangshan, people are still influenced by feudal superstition, and they will definitely choose auspicious days to hold exams.

"Think about what I just said after you go back, and then compile a book for me! From now on, this book will also be included in the new learning system! New learning not only guides the ideology and morality of all people in the world, but also You must guide scientific research! Your knowledge and wisdom far exceed those of other people in Liangshan. In this regard, almost no one can catch up with you, and only you can do such a thing." Wu Dong said.

"This... when the time comes, I will definitely write the name of the governor. These are all researched by the governor." Qin Hui hurriedly said.

"That's not necessary!" Wu Dong laughed.What he said was the crystallization of thousands of years of human wisdom accumulated in later generations, and he didn't want to steal this honor by himself.

It was dark at night, and Wu Dong and others lived on the campus of this university that day.

The next day, Wu Dong and others went to the Academy of Sciences. Although some of the Academy of Sciences were preparing to build a university, more people were still doing research. Many of these people were the real elites of the Academy of Sciences.

Wu Dong still remembers the three people he met when he first came to the Academy of Sciences, Jin Hu, Su Yuan, and Lu Jiu!Na Jinhu has a certain degree of research in chemistry, Su Yuan has a certain degree of research in geography, and Lu Jiu has a certain degree of research in mathematics.

Ling Zhen, the dean of the Academy of Sciences, was by Wu Dong's side. When Wu Dong asked these three people, Ling Zhen said, "Jinhu is in the factory. He has been interested in artillery for a while. More than me! Our latest artillery in Liangshan was developed by him!"

Wu Dong nodded, and said: "He was originally a nobleman in Korea, with a profound background, and it is normal to have such achievements."

Ling Zhen said: "In addition to artillery, he is still studying 'Qi', and now he has made another extremely important discovery about 'Qi'."

Wu Dong said: "What discovery?"

Ling Zhen said: "He thinks that Qi can be used as power! We usually use teapots to boil water. When the water boils, the steam can even lift the lid of the pot! He thinks this is power. If it is used well, it can drive other things. "

Wu Dong was startled, and said, "He already knows how to turn steam into power?"

Ling Zhen shook his head and said, "He has been researching for many years, but he still hasn't succeeded! I don't know if I should continue to support him. His research requires a lot of money."

Wu Dong said: "Continue to support!"

Ling Zhen said: "What if there is no result?"

Wu Dongdao: "Steam can push open the lid of the pot, this is something that children know! He started from this point, at least the direction of research is right! As long as the direction of research is right, it will be helpful to future generations ,dont you agree?"

Ling Zhen nodded, and Wu Dong no longer asked the other two, but asked Ling Zhen to take him to see Jinhu immediately.

As Wu Dong walked forward, he was thinking about the "steam engine"!He only knows that the steam engine was invented by Watt, and the invention of the steam engine triggered the first industrial revolution!Could it be that the steam engine is about to be born on the land of China now?

In fact, the principle of a steam engine is not complicated at all. Everyone knows that steam has power!For example, the fact that steam can open the lid of a pot has been seen by everyone since ancient times, but few people really think deeply about it!Europe in the Middle Ages was darker than ancient China, and the Holy See's shackles on people's thoughts were more thorough than Confucianism. However, after the Renaissance, in just a few decades, Europe has undergone earth-shaking changes!And now, China has undergone such changes hundreds of years in advance!The Academy of Sciences has been established for ten years. There is freedom of thought in the Academy of Sciences. The government encourages inventions and creations, and encourages all kinds of novel ideas. It is not surprising that the steam engine can appear in advance.

In the ordnance factory, Wu Dong finally saw Jin Hu.

Jinhu was operating the "machine" with a group of craftsmen, and they didn't even notice the arrival of Wu Dong and others!Ling Zhen wanted to remind these people, but was stopped by Wu Dong.

Wu Dong was observing the "machine" carefully. Some of its parts were similar to modern machines, but they were very rough and primitive!For example, the "piston" is really hard to catch!If it is put into modern society, I am afraid people will laugh at their big teeth, but in this era, such a thing appears, it is something that can make people extremely excited, it is a milestone in technological progress!

Jin Hu and the others were still concentrating on operating the "machine" in front of them. After a while, the "machine" started to move, making extremely ear-piercing noises!Wu Dong watched all this excitedly, while Jin Hu and the others frowned.

"Is there any problem?" Wu Dong couldn't help asking.

"The efficiency is really too low! This strength is far inferior to that of a ten-year-old boy, let alone compared with a cow or a horse! Such a thing has no practical effect!" Jin Hu said.

At this moment, he still didn't look up, nor did he notice that it was Wu Dong who had arrived.

"I think it's because of the cylinder! Every time the steam passes through, the temperature of the cylinder will drop a lot, which is a waste of energy." A craftsman next to him said.

"There is also a problem with the design of our pistons. The resistance of these pistons is so high that no amount of steam will work." Another craftsman said.

These craftsmen were chattering here and did not notice the arrival of Wu Dong and others at all. After a while, Wu Dong led his people away without alarming them.
