Zhu Jingyuan's position in the Ming Dynasty was the governor of the military, political and foreign affairs of Dashi, Daqin, and Mozhou.
Therefore, those directly reported are basically matters in these areas.
But there are some special cases.
For example, the progress of aviation research in various countries around the world, and the latest warship design and construction directions.
This information that Zhu Jingyuan is particularly concerned about will also be specially sent here.
After Zhu Jingyuan flipped through a few messages, he looked at a telegram with a surprised expression.
"Swiss scholar Daniel Bernoulli and his three sons built a relatively mature flying machine in France?"
"Also called Daniel Bernoulli? Is this a descendant of the Bernoulli who wrote "Fluid Dynamics"?"
Zhu Jingyuan generally remembered that Daniel Bernoulli, who proposed Bernoulli's principle, was not from this era.
This famous mathematician and physicist in history received a "Master of Arts" degree at the age of 16 and a "Doctor of Medicine" degree at the age of 21. He later became a professor of anatomy and botany, as well as a professor of physics. Study professor.
This experience was so outrageous, coupled with the special origin of the Bernoulli family and his most important Bernoulli principle, that Zhu Jingyuan roughly remembered what era he was from.
He must be dead now, he was from the last century.
So this Daniel Bernoulli is not the Bernoulli in history, but he is probably a junior member of the other party's family.
Because his last name is Bernoulli, and the Thai people like to give their children the names of their elders.
What worries Zhu Jingyuan even more is that this second-generation Daniel Bernoulli took his three sons to create a plane?
Zhu Jingyuan was very curious as to whether he was directly affected by his family.
In Zhu Jingyuan's previous life, popular science articles often used Bernoulli's principle to explain why airplanes fly.
Zhu Jingyuan, who is more interested in aviation, was deeply impressed by this.
Bernoulli's principle is a key principle in fluid dynamics.
For fluids on the same horizontal surface, the faster they flow, the lower the pressure they exert on the surroundings.
The air above the wings of an airplane flows quickly and has low pressure, while the air below the wings flows slowly and has high pressure.
So the plane was lifted up.
This is the most understandable explanation.
The Bernoulli principle of this world was still proposed by Daniel Bernoulli a hundred years ago.
At that time, the direct influence of the Ming Dynasty on the mainland of Thailand and Western Europe was still not very strong.
Emperor Shizu did not mention research in this area.
Daniel Bernoulli is still a famous mathematician and physicist in France.
Now in the second-generation Daniel Bernoulli team, there are people who keep in touch with the Daming West Factory.
There are teams from various countries in Europe and the West that study flying machines and researchers who study the principles of flight. Many of them are from the Western Factory nearby.
Now the research progress of these personnel can basically be roughly controlled by Xichang.
Zhu Jingyuan was a little shocked by this situation.
If Xichang's capabilities are so strong, it won't be difficult if they specifically explore the technologies of the European and American countries.
So, even if it is not driven by itself, even if Daming's research and development capabilities are really bad, as long as Xichang still maintains this energy, then Daming's actual technology will not fall behind.
Xichang should be the most powerful spy organization in the world today.
The Dongxi Factory renovated by Emperor Shizu was the earliest systematic, professional and modern secret service agency.
There should be no professional secret service agency in the world that can compare with them.
According to the report compiled by the West Factory, this second-generation Daniel Bernoulli is actually no ordinary craftsman.
His research starts from theory, rather than simply doing physical testing.
In fact, his physical tests were just to verify the theory.
His theoretical research is very solid.
It may even be better than what Zhu Jingyuan pointed out directly.
The research of Ming craftsmen before this point must be in-depth.
He has summarized the theorems and formulas for calculating wing lift.
That is actually the "Kutta-Zhukovsky theorem" of Zhu Jingyuan's previous life.
The Tessie of this world may also be called Bernoulli's theorem.
In the Ming Dynasty, it was directly called the "Lift Theorem". Zhu Jingyuan had already guided them to come up with it in his communication with the Ministry of Industry.
Zhu Jingyuan copied it, but Bernoulli completed the complete theoretical research by himself.
The discovery of the Kutta-Zhukovsky theorem is one of the most important nodes in the practical application of flight theory.
Let mankind finally determine from a theoretical basis that flying machines are feasible.
Coupled with the "Navier-Stokes equation" and the "Bernoulli equation", Newtonian mechanics and the principles of flight are finally connected.
Of course, just because it is theoretically completed does not mean that a flying aircraft can be built right away.
They could only verify through calculations in the early stage that the bird wing design was theoretically feasible.
The bird wing design is indeed feasible and can indeed fly.
As long as the angle of attack is appropriate and the engine power is sufficient, a purely flat steel plate can fly, let alone bird wings.
But this is only an ideal situation.
Under the circumstances of very limited technical conditions and very limited engine power, allowing a crude test aircraft made by private craftsmen to fly normally requires long-term and continuous exploration.
Zhu Jingyuan originally gave the Ming craftsmen the airfoil that was most suitable for low speeds, so the plane took off directly.
Daniel Bernoulli tested a large number of airfoils and found one that was more suitable for low speeds.
This is the typical convex top and flat bottom structure used by Zhu Jingyuan.
More importantly, he obtained two smuggled small gasoline engines originally produced in Ming Dynasty.
Those two engines were probably eliminated by Ming Dynasty.
Because of Zhu Jingyuan's guidance, Daming's internal combustion engine power began to soar last year.
At the beginning of the year, aircraft engines were still producing tens of horsepower, but at the beginning of this year they were directly producing hundreds of horsepower.
The engine power of the car has caught up with the previous tanks.
The soaring upper limit of engine power caused Ming Dynasty to lower its control over low-end engines.
After the original engines of some cars and machines are obsolete, the probability of being sold abroad increases.
Bernoulli installed the Ming Dynasty engine into the aircraft he designed, allowing the aircraft to successfully fly more than ten meters.
He is going to the French Patent Office to apply for a patent and is preparing documents.
Zhu Jingyuan was reading the information while thinking about various possible situations, and made a decision after reading it.
Immediately rule the Xichang branch in France and immediately apply for an aircraft patent.
Due to the arrangements Zhu Jingyuan had made long ago, relevant personnel already had documents prepared in advance.
There are attachments to Zhu Jingyuan’s patent documents registered with the Ministry of Industry of Ming Dynasty, as well as certificates issued by the Ministry of Industry and Zhu Jingyuan’s own statement.
There are also rudimentary aircraft parts that can be pieced together to build Zhu Jingyuan's first test aircraft.
The most rudimentary, the simplest aircraft with only two wings, two rudders, one engine, and two propellers.
Also remind them that they can go to France's Prince Charles for help and take the route to the upper echelons of the ruling class.
The goal was to intercept Hubernoulli's French aircraft patent.
While arranging the task, Zhu Jingyuan personally wrote a simple telegram and sent it to Prince Charles.
Thank you again for your help and support to Dashiguo’s high-end clothing industry in France.
Then immediately ask the other party to help handle the patent application.
After sending the telegram, Zhu Jingyuan sat at his desk and thought about it for a while.
Zhu Jingyuan felt that the success rate of cutting off Hu's patent at a critical juncture should not be high.
Although I am relatively well prepared, the relationship between Ming Dynasty and France is relatively unsatisfactory.
Excellent.
The French favor research done in France, and it is natural to favor the Thais.
Of course, Prince Charles cannot be completely worthy of his trust.
After all, he is a French prince and has to consider French interests.
He and the French courtiers around him could definitely see the great prospects of aircraft in the future.
He should have a basic understanding of aircraft researchers in France, and should know that Bernoulli is about to succeed.
Even if you didn't understand it at all before, you should learn more about it after receiving your request.
If he knew that Bernoulli's research had been basically completed, he might not easily accept his application.
The other party can claim that the other party has already received a similar patent application and then put Bernoulli's one first.
When it's your time, reply to yourself and say that the patent has been issued.
Faced with their operation, I don't seem to have any good way to deal with it.
The natural requirement is that both parties take a step back, and both themselves and Bernoulli own the patent.
Each other's use of their own patents does not constitute infringement or breach of contract.
