Yun Chao is very busy now.
Over there, the Jurchens killed the Wu Dynasty army, but here, Yun Chao was hampered by the acceptance of various research results.
The call experiment was successful on the first day.
Yun Chao rode back to Wolong Village the next day.
…
North bank of Wolong Village.
It is now the secret scientific research base of the Yun Family Army.
Many units in the North Shore have been relocated to other places.
Even Wolong Village University Hall has been moved to Sanshui Town, where transportation is more convenient.
The remaining houses have all become scientific laboratories or dormitories for scientific researchers.
Jiang Wen and Zhou Ping, several teachers who Yun Chao spent a lot of money to hire in the past, have now become important figures in the Yun family army.
Due to the serious shortage of administrative staff, Yun Chao transferred them to several state capitals to manage administrative work.
Jiang Wen, Zhou Ping and others are now all high-ranking officials of the party, and their positions are equivalent to prefects or prefects.
The teacher of the school is, of course, someone else.
The Yun Family Army now occupies almost the entire Qilu Peninsula. In such a large area, there are countless scholars, and naturally there are people who are willing to take over the Yun Family Army's job.
The current situation of the Yun family army is much better than before.
And it's still much, much better.
In the past, the Yun Family Army only occupied a small area of territory, and ordinary scholars looked down upon it. No one wanted to follow a "bandit" force.
It's different now.
The Yun Family Army not only occupies a large territory, but also has deep support among the people.
There are certainly idiots among scholars, but there are relatively more smart people.
Seeing that the Yun family's army was at its peak and a climate had formed, many scholars saw hope.
Under the current system of the Dawu Dynasty, it is absolutely impossible for poor children to get ahead, but it is really unlikely.
Don't talk about the imperial examination. How many poor children really rely on the imperial examination to become officials?
In a few years, there are only a few hundred people. There are tens of millions of people in the Great Wu Dynasty, so how can there be so many opportunities for promotion.
The Yun Family Army is undergoing great development, and it is the time to recruit people. If you join the Yun Family Army at this time, let alone the level of a Jinshi, even an ordinary failed scholar can be promoted quickly!
Jiang Wen, Zhou Ping and others are just a few living examples.
These guys have so many classmates, how could they not be moved after seeing their current situation.
The circle of scholars is not very big at all. Once the word spread, a large number of scholars voluntarily joined the Yun family army to work!
The time for training is still short and the experience is insufficient, otherwise Yun Chao would have canceled military control in various places long ago.
…
In a huge factory building.
Yun Chao led his generals to watch a group of "scientific and technological workers" busy.
Not long after, the person in charge of the experiment came over and reported: "Commander, everything is ready, please give instructions!"
Yun Chao waved his hand: "Let's start!"
It's said to be the beginning, but in fact the boiler has already been ignited and preheated.
As the experimenter opened the steam valve, the high-pressure steam in the boiler passed through the copper pipe and entered the cylinder of a machine next to it.
Some people say that the development of electric power must be based on steam power. In fact, it is completely a misunderstanding.
Without steam engines, electricity can still be developed.
However, if there is no steam engine as a power source, thermal power cannot be used to generate electricity.
The most ideal situation is for steam power and electricity to develop simultaneously.
With relatively stable electricity, more sophisticated machinery can be built.
With more sophisticated machinery, more sophisticated generators and motors can be made.
Under a virtuous cycle, it is basically a matter of course to create a steam engine.
Given the above conditions, the only limitation on steam engine technology is actually the sealing issue.
Now it is possible. The Academy of Sciences has developed the extraction technology of Eucommia gum, which can replace rubber in some functions and solve the sealing problem of steam engines.
The same goes for high-pressure boilers, which came into being after breakthroughs in the application technology of Eucommia gum.
In short, the development of science and technology is the product of the combination of multiple factors. Yunchao's decision to develop electricity and steam power at the same time is a decision made after careful consideration, not a temporary slap on the forehead.
Since the supreme commander of the Yun Family Army was asked to accept the results, the steam engine research team did not know how many times it had been successfully tested.
Therefore, Yun Chao just came to see the results, and the probability of the experiment failing was infinitely close to zero.
Boom!
Driven by the steam, the huge steam engine started running.
Through mechanical transmission, the steam engine drove a spinning machine next to it.
"Buzz!"
Seeing that the experiment was successful, everyone present cheered.
Even the confident Yun Chao couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"Come on, let's start the next experiment!"
Since the steam engine can drive spinning machines, it should also be able to drive generators.
The next experiment Yun Chao mentioned is to use steam power to generate electricity, which is often referred to as thermal power.
Boom!
Along with the operation of the steam engine, a generator nearby also started running.
A row of light bulbs began to glow, and steam power was successfully generated!
"Aww...aoww..."
Even the senior generals of the Yun Family Army couldn't help but scream and jump.
At this moment, they were no longer generals with thousands of troops in their hands, but had turned back into the naive and innocent boys they were a few years ago!
Seeing all the boys losing their composure, Yun Chao couldn't help but smile knowingly.
It's really sad to think about it. These boys are only eighteen or nineteen this year, and they are in their twenties. In future generations, they will still be carefree children on campus, but under their own hands, they all have Who should the general, who has the power of life and death, talk to for reason?
"Commander, with the steam engine as a magical weapon, from now on the people of the entire Dawu Dynasty will have to use the cloth of our Yun's Trading Company!"
Seeing the power of the steam engine, Wu Deli immediately thought of business.
Steam power is many times more powerful than human power. Even a steam engine cannot be matched by any number of weavers!
Of course, some are excited and some are worried.
The young woman who had been following Yun Chao and acting as secretary said worriedly:
"Commander, if these magical machines become popular, those origami households will have no livelihood. What should we do?"
After saying that, the young woman looked at Yun Chao guiltily, fearing that he would be angry.
As Yun Chao's secretary, it is really inappropriate for him not to say good things to Yun Jiajun for others.
However, as a secretary, I know that there are some words that are disappointing to me, and the young woman must say them too.
According to Yun Chao, as a secretary, he has the obligation to check for leaks and fill vacancies for the leader.
Yunchao often warns the staff around him that he hates flattering others the most. If anyone can only be nice and obedient but doesn't know how to check for his own mistakes, he will be transferred to other departments.
In fact, who doesn't like to hear good words, and Yun Chaoyun also likes to hear them.
However, in order not to get lost in power, Yun Chao had to often ask his subordinates to point out his shortcomings and reflect on himself. This is called criticism and self-criticism!
