Bo Jue agreed very much with the prince's point of view. Most of the people who spoke eloquently did not mean what they meant, so he immediately agreed: "What your Highness said is absolutely true. Cao Min thought he was very knowledgeable before, and he could also make waterwheels, crossbows, puppets, etc." A telescope, you can only realize after seeing the airship that you are just a frog in the well. From now on, you must be humble and cautious, and I hope that Your Highness will give you some advice."
It is impossible to tell the high and low positions without comparison. Waterwheels and ground crossbows are extremely complex machines in ordinary people's eyes. However, compared with airships and telegraphs, they are really not worth mentioning. They can only be regarded as for students. Just an object for practice.
It was rare for this great talent to be so modest. Yao Ji smiled kindly and said, "Bo Ai, you are so polite. When it comes to drawing and knowledge, I think I am superior. But when it comes to ingenuity, everyone here is better than me." What's more, on the road of exploring science and technology, there is no hierarchy, only walking hand in hand."
Throw the airship design drawings to the Ministry of Industry or the tank factory. Whether it can be built on time is another matter. It is very likely that Donglu will already know about such a heaven-defying weapon before it is built.
Besides, without the help of these top scientists, it would be difficult to build an airship. There are not many officials with Zhang Guowei's professional level. It is easy for them to be like moths, but they will become eggplants when doing practical work.
Scientists at this time not only had certain theoretical knowledge and could write books, but also had sufficient practical experience. If you are interested in any novel objects, you can make them yourself just by looking at the drawings.
They are much more professional than officials and smarter than craftsmen. They can be said to be unique and rare animals. With the help of Frankensteins, building airships can be done with twice the result with half the effort.
"Your Majesty, Cao Min still has a merciless request!"
"But it doesn't matter!"
"Cao Min boldly asked for His Highness's permission. Cao Min invited his friends Zhu Sheng and Yu Tianshu to participate in the airship project. These two people also share the astronomy hobby with Cao Min. Their talents are less than one ten thousandth of His Highness's, but their abilities are no less than Cao Min. Cao Min wishes Guarantee it.”
Bo Jue's family situation is terrible, but that doesn't mean there aren't a few like-minded people, and he didn't get carried away by the airship. He filtered it through his mind first, and finally settled on him after weighing his ability and character. both.
Seeing that the prince's mood was waning but he was still in a good mood, mentioning it at this time might successfully gain the prince's approval. Although the whole proposal process was short, it still made Bo Jue worried, fearing that his suggestion would be flatly rejected by the prince.
"I know Bo Aiqing's character. The person who is favored by Aiqing must not be too low in ability. If Bo Aiqing writes two letters, I will send someone to take them and invite him to go north to pursue a great career."
These two people were also numerous astronomy enthusiasts in the late Ming Dynasty. They were involved in Western science and were also keen on using telescopes to observe celestial phenomena. If the gap between them and Bo Jue was not too big, it would be helpful to ask them to build airships. helpful.
No matter what era, scientists are the most valuable type of people, and the occupations second only to them are cooks and technical women...
"Cao Min would like to express my gratitude to Your Highness on behalf of these two people!"
With the help of his friends, Bo Jue became more confident in building an airship.
After seeing the booklet in his hand, Bo Jue doubted for the first time whether he was qualified for this position.
Because it involves too much academic knowledge and related crafts, Bo Jue really feels that he has limited talents and knowledge, which is not modest.
But precisely because of this, by building this behemoth that can fly into the sky, his knowledge will be further improved.
"The airship is just the first step for the Ministry of Aviation, and it can only be regarded as the beginning. Next, machines that can fly higher and faster will be built. As long as the Academy of Sciences can proceed step by step, study carefully, and develop higher-end fairy weapons, every day You can fly two thousand miles in one hour!"
There is not much difference between deceiving workers and deceiving scientists. You must first draw them a super big pie that cannot be digested in a day, a month or even a year, and then put it into their minds, so that everyone will work hard with high morale. Got to work.
This shocked Jie Xuan beyond measure, and he couldn't wait to blurt out: "Your Highness, is there really a weapon that can fly so fast in the immortal world?"
Not to mention traveling thousands of miles in a day, or traveling a thousand miles in a day in the air, this object was completely beyond his imagination, and he couldn't even figure out its appearance.
Yaoji did not answer directly, but started from the beginning: "Have you ever used a kettle to boil water? Naturally, during the process of boiling water, especially when the water boils, a large amount of steam will be generated. If the lid of the kettle is not closed properly, Yan, the steam will push up the lid and make it jump continuously. Here is a force, the power of steam. If we can make a large enough kettle and seal it well, the steam generated in this way The force of the pot is as strong as a thousand catties. It is mounted on an iron frame and the lid is connected with a torsion bar. This allows the cart to move forward, thus completely replacing horse-drawn carriages and bullock carts. This cart does not require livestock or fodder, only water. and coal can be used as power, and the Ming Dynasty has all these two things. From now on, it can benefit Min. If it is covered with iron sheets and mounted with fire guns, it will be an invulnerable vehicle. Hundreds of them will be manufactured for the army, and our army will also If we can regain Liaodong without fear of the Donglu cavalry, it will be just around the corner!"
Although the prince didn't say anything about the aircraft, he undoubtedly washed everyone's pig brains again with the help of steam.
Gong Yonggu, Fang Yizhi, Jiexuan, and even Bo Jue, the smartest among the four, all forgot to close their jaws when they heard this.
Boiling water with a kettle is a simple matter. Several people have observed it, but no one has thought of a machine that applies this principle.
Although I have never seen a giant kettle, I can conclude based on my own imagination that what the prince said is undoubtedly very feasible.
Whether it is Yu Min or Yu Jun, this thing can show strength far beyond that of cattle and horses, and there is no need to worry about the livestock getting sick.
If it can be made, it can transport goods in peacetime and troops in war. If it is armed as the prince imagined, it will be an invincible magic weapon.
Jiexuan even thought about the spectacular scene where he had the honor to command hundreds of armored chariots and defeated the Donglu cavalry on the endless grassland, and he felt his blood rush and he was extremely excited.
Even ten or even twenty Donglu cavalry cannot compete with an armored chariot.
The Donglu army, which now frightened the Ming army, could only retreat in the face of a group charge of thousands of armored chariots.
Seeing that these four idiots were all paying full attention, as if they hadn't heard enough, Yaoji continued: "The machine that relies on the power of steam is called a steam engine. This is the basis, and its fuel is mainly coal. After that, you can use oil, It is a machine that uses kerosene as fuel, and is called an internal combustion engine. This thing is lighter and smaller than a steam engine, but its power is not inferior to the latter. Because of its complex structure, it is easier to make an internal combustion engine only by first manufacturing a steam engine and mastering relevant experience. Load this thing on a frame with iron belts and wings, start the internal combustion engine, and the iron frame can quickly take off, more than ten times faster than an airship, called an 'airplane'. And the internal combustion engine has an advantage, that is, it can be used To generate electricity, the current can light up the tungsten wire, making the capital city brightly lit at night, as bright as day.”
After the second brain-milling, the four idiots were completely confused and drifted into a state of confusion.
The internal combustion engine itself must be extremely heavy, but the prince said that it can be lifted into the air if it is placed on an iron frame.
This thing can be used to generate electricity, and it can also produce light. According to the prince, it is even much brighter than a candle.
All the remarks are so unbelievable that anyone who cannot experience it personally will definitely think that the prince is talking nonsense.
Bo Jue is extremely smart and will remember everything he considers important even if he only hears it once.
In this way, in his mind, in addition to airships and telegraph machines, there are also steam engines, internal combustion engines and airplanes.
It seems that he has been very busy in recent years, but being able to create these fairy weapons is what he is most proud of.
Jiexuan had studied astronomy, so he took advantage of the situation and asked: "Your Highness, I am brave, I wonder if this 'plane' can fly out of the sphere we are standing on? Soar in the universe?"
Being able to fly out of the earth is the most powerful object in Jie Xuan's opinion. With the magic power of the fairy world, it should not be difficult to do it.
Many people in this era already know that their feet are not a circle but a sphere, because Western navigators have proven this hypothesis, and it was already spread to the East at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
A small group of idiots who are willing to accept new things have already agreed with this statement after coming into contact with Western writings, but they do not know much about things beyond the earth.
Yaoji smiled knowingly and denied truthfully: "It's not possible yet, because the internal combustion engine used by the airplane requires oxygen, and there is no such gas in space outside the earth, and it is in a vacuum state without any gas. If you want to fly To leave the earth, the aircraft itself must carry enough oxygen so that it can be burned inside the aircraft to generate thrust. An aircraft that can fly out of the earth is called a 'space shuttle', and its power machinery is more complicated than an internal combustion engine. If it cannot You cannot make this thing without a certain knowledge of chemistry.”
I don't know if I can build it in my lifetime. The early space shuttle was too complicated. Judging from Zha Ming's current situation, it would be terrible if he didn't live for two hundred and fifty years.
After finally encountering an "encyclopedia" that was free to read, Jiexuan hurriedly asked: "Your Highness, I am stupid and don't know what oxygen is? Can chemistry be considered as an academic?"
It is easier to understand that there is no gas in space, but oxygen is invisible and intangible. How to prove its existence is difficult for Jiexuan and others to understand.
Yao Ji had to personally find a drawn periodic table of chemical elements, and asked Yang Jinchao to nail it on a wooden shelf, and then explained: "Chemistry, as the name implies, is the academic study of material changes. This picture is the core knowledge of chemistry, and the name is the 'Periodic Table of Elements'. This is the result of research in the fairy world, and most of all things in the world are composed of these elements. The fairy world discovered that the smallest unit of matter is the atom, and the atom contains protons, neutrons and Electrons, the order in which these elements are sorted is the number of protons possessed by their atoms. Elements such as hydrogen, helium, nitrogen, and oxygen above are corresponding gases, and they can all be generated by chemical reactions. Only by understanding these , you will understand why the gas generated after burning coal can cause death, because after the chemical reaction between oxygen and carbon, a toxic gas called carbon monoxide will be generated, which will have fatal consequences once the human body inhales it. Manufacturing space shuttles To get the fuel needed, you must first learn Western letters, numbers, and this periodic table of chemical elements. After that, you can gradually learn more scientific knowledge step by step, otherwise you will be scratching the surface no matter what, and you will not be able to touch things at all. the essence of.”
Now there is no need to give these idiots any advanced lectures. Just stop there and wait until many projects are launched to popularize their knowledge of junior high school chemistry.
Before building the space shuttle, the chemistry knowledge in high school was enough for them to apply. These "super powerful materials" alone allowed these scumbag scientists to create a powerful TMT.
This is much more powerful than black powder. If you put it in a heartless cannon and throw it out, the braids on the other side will definitely be happy.
"..."
Jiexuan who asked the question sat in silence for a long time, not knowing what else to do. Bo Jue had said before that he was just a frog in the well. From this point of view, in the face of the vast amount of knowledge that the prince had mastered, he was not even as good as a frog in the well.
If everything in the world is really made up of the things on the picture in front of you, then if you don't learn the chemistry mentioned by ***, even if you get this picture, it will be like reading a book from heaven.
"Your Highness, Cao Min is brave enough to learn this science from His Highness? Uh... Chemistry!"
Bo Jue has long forgotten the idea of running away at the right time. He wants to study any object that the prince is willing to share, and he wants to ask for advice if he doesn't understand. As long as the prince nods in agreement, everything will be fine for him. If he doesn't give it, Monthly salary is fine.
Chemistry is really too unpredictable. At first glance, Bo Jue couldn't understand anything except Chinese characters. He had no idea what those characters meant. It was because of this that he was inspired to learn. Desire.
Obviously, chemistry is more complicated than the previous machines, and even Dean Song may not have been involved in it. The prince has not marked the refining method of the oil used in the airship, which shows that this thing is even more secret than the airship, and he has to understand it even more.
"Of course you can. With your ingenuity, it is not difficult to get started. However, I have something to say beforehand. If anyone shows off the content of my professor and others get it, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
Regardless of whether the knowledge I teach you is chemistry or physics, it is top-secret content. Even if the meat is rotten in the pot, others, especially Western warlocks, cannot learn about it. It is another matter for me to fool them myself.
This is a good thing two hundred years from now, but now it has to be exchanged for real gold and silver before it can be sold. It has to cost one hundred thousand taels of silver anyway. If it is less, a certain prince will be reluctant to sell it.
After grasping the connotation of this object, Western science and technology can take a big step forward. Yaoji has not yet decided whether to help the warlocks. At least they need to convince the kings to contribute a lot of warriors and warships.
It's good to use chemical knowledge to defeat scientists, but from now on, I will never have peace. A useless person like Bo Jue will come to ask for advice regardless of rain or shine. If he doesn't spend an hour every day, he will definitely not be able to kill him.
Feed him directly until he has indigestion, so that he can get stability for most of the day, and then supervise the progress of the airship to prevent this guy from coming to the East Palace to study whenever he has time. Not only is it free, but he also has to pay a huge monthly salary. …
