Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei

Compared with other school buildings in Daheng, the Daheng Institute of Technology undoubtedly has a much larger area, and is different from the general school building, the Institute of Engineering, which is more like a rough aggregate.

In the school building, you can see a small ordnance factory. Although it is small, it has all the internal organs. There are boring machines for making gun barrels and barrels, as well as an ordnance experiment field, an ordnance warehouse, and an ore warehouse.

There is a smelting plant, and the earth furnaces for steelmaking are clearly visible, and there are students who are like craftsmen, their faces are black and gray, and they are constantly busy.

There is also a gunpowder factory, from time to time bursts of roar can be heard and gunpowder smoke billows.

There are also factories that make the emperor's eyes shine. All kinds of simple lathes have taken shape, and the students are busy with them, using the simple lathes to make and study.

At the foot of the mountain are farmland, waterwheels, war horses, cattle and sheep…

The steam engine that the emperor was thinking about has already taken shape. In fact, for this era, it is not too difficult to just make a steam engine.

A steam engine is nothing more than boiling water and then converting the kinetic energy of the steam into use.

To achieve this, if it is just made, it does not count the cost, does not pay attention to practicality, and it is not difficult.

After all, if it is difficult to make steel, it is necessary to replace it with copper. If the sealing material is difficult, then it is replaced by other local materials. If the error is large, it is necessary to work slowly and carefully by hand.

When the Son of Heaven wants something, there are no conditions, and the conditions must be created.

As early as the early years of Jingwu in the former Ming Dynasty, the so-called steam engine was brought out.

However, this steam engine was useless except as a teaching tool.

The volume is too large, and handling is difficult, let alone practical.

There is no breakthrough in steelmaking technology, the material of the cylinder block is not good, the pressure bearing is limited, and the kinetic energy is too small to make any sense.

The boring machine process is not good, the cylinder block error is too large, and it is purely manual and slow repair by skilled craftsmen...

The sealing process doesn't work either...

All kinds of drawbacks and flaws, completely flashy.

But fortunately, although a lot of money was wasted, the entity has been created anyway. With the entity, the rest is how to solve these defects and how to transform it to make it practical.

From the early years of Jingwu in Ming Dynasty to now, hundreds of students have been thinking hard about this aspect. .

Up to now, there are several more steam engines in the Academy of Engineering, and the ones visible to the naked eye are better than the other, and the craftsmanship is more exquisite.

The entire Daheng Institute of Technology, that is, such a model, drives theoretical development with practice.

And, most importantly, the Son of Heaven spared no effort in supporting the Academy of Engineering.

Whether it is policies or benefits, it completely solves all the worries of the students.

Just research, everything else, the state solves.

This is the life of an engineering student.

Despite this, there are obviously many disadvantages, but before the new learning has been thoroughly implemented in the hearts of the people, the emperor must maintain undoubted support.

Otherwise, the inertia of thousands of years of people's hearts is enough to easily drown this new learning that has just sprouted.

After a tour of the Academy of Engineering, the emperor also had a general understanding of the current development of new learning.

It is difficult to define the extent to which new learning has developed, and it is also difficult to compare it with the so-called scientific development in history.

It can only be said that under the special national conditions, the new learning is developing steadily, as to how far it has developed...

The steam engine, still huge, cumbersome and inefficient, made it clear.

Just like the bolt-action rifle that was envisaged long ago, the primer problem has not been solved until now.

Today's new learning is still in the stage of savage growth, and it is still far away from forming a complete system.

As his thoughts flowed, the Emperor entered the yamen of the Academy of Engineering, surrounded by officials.

Stepping into the main hall, you will be greeted by the clearly visible portraits on the wall.

Portrait, name, title, deeds...

The emperor took a closer look, and sure enough, they were all created by the Academy of Engineering, and the portraits and deeds of the people who were awarded the title for helping the development of the new school.

In fact, over the years, the existence of the Academy of Engineering has always been in the stage of accumulating new knowledge, but there are also many research results.

Such as cement, such as the crucible steelmaking method, such as the systemization of various lathes, etc...

Of course, for the Son of Heaven, what could be regarded as a great surprise came from the people!

Since the establishment of the Engineering Department of the Wuyuan Academy, it has never given up its search for folk arts.

Every year, all kinds of special assessments, as well as the bounty that has never been canceled with the engineering system.

That is to say, the people of Daheng, the skills of all walks of life, can go to the Academy of Engineering for the record, according to the importance of the skills, give rewards.

After the patent law was formed, these filings were also converted into patents, large or small.

In this era, the extravagant skills that scholars and officials look down on are, for the common people and businessmen, the ability to look after the house and be passed down from generation to generation.

In order to encourage the filing of folk arts, the emperor has even selected a few titles to set a benchmark and buy horse bones for thousands of dollars!

In recent years, the development of Xinxue~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the help of the people cannot be underestimated.

These folk skills have naturally become the resources of new learning, providing sufficient assistance for the development of new learning.

The emperor stopped and looked around, and the officials of the Academy of Engineering who accompanied him were also extremely apprehensive.

Since the emperor entered the Academy of Engineering, he has visited the Academy of Engineering for a long time, but he has not spoken a word about the affairs of the Academy of Engineering.

The emperor still didn't say much, stopped to look around for a moment, and then flipped through the archives and research reports of the students of the Academy of Engineering over the years.

Although the Son of Heaven attached great importance to the whole of new learning, if there is a single practical aspect, the steam engine should naturally be ranked first.

To replace human and animal power with steam kinetic energy, Fang is the beginning of a real change.

The changes to this country will be earth-shaking.

At this moment, the research report on the steam engine in the hands of the emperor almost perfectly tugs at the emperor's heartstrings.

The report records in detail the data performance and research direction of the steam engine's improvement and replacement in the past ten years since the beginning of the steam engine research.

And at the end of the report, the future of the steam engine is expected.

For example, the miniaturization of steam engines will change the impact on mining, transportation, textiles, water conservancy and so on.

Although many of these descriptions have great shortcomings, this concept of applying new learning to reality and changing the world is naturally politically correct to the Son of Heaven.

After all, the concept of strange skills is the biggest enemy of new learning, and it is this concept that leads to the promotion of new learning with half the effort.

It was extremely difficult to promote new learning at the beginning.

Until now, this concept is still the enemy of new learning.
