The great emperor of crossing

A court meeting that impressed everyone ended like this. After such an enlightening court meeting, many people looked full of confidence.

However, Zhang Zhidong is still a local official now, and it is not very easy to let him return to Chang'an City directly. After all, there are still many things waiting for a local official to deal with, and let the big officials It is not very scientific to directly become a chairman.

But when Zhao Li was still worrying about the candidates for the steel company, Zhang Heng, who had just returned to the Academy of Sciences, saw a newly made iron block on the table.

"What is this thing?"

"This is the steel sample, and we did everything possible to make it. It can be said that the people in the blacksmith shop and us college students who have just graduated are very powerful this time."

"That is to say, you have already made the laboratory formula of steel?"

Zhang Heng looked very excited at his researcher.

"It should be said that this is not just a laboratory formula. Our workshop has assembled the first machine made of our own steel, and we have completed the entire process."

Hearing such a statement, Zhang Heng was very surprised.

"Hurry up and show me what it's like."

"it is good!"

We brought such a dean directly to a place similar to a factory building. When we opened the door, we saw that a very beautiful assembly workshop had been built.

"Has such a huge behemoth been built by you? In other words, can we make steel now?"

"We haven't conducted the final experiment yet, and all of this requires the corresponding support from the state!"

"Is there any difficulty?"

"There are indeed great difficulties. First of all, the iron ore in the laboratory cannot meet the requirements of a steel factory. What we are talking about is raw materials and dosage, and even if these steels are made, they have to go through some corresponding procedures. The cranes fix them one by one. In other words, we don’t have such a machine now. If we rely on our current manpower to lift them, the efficiency will be very low. That is to say, we don’t have the corresponding funds now. It's a miracle that the integrity of the assembly is done like this."

Hearing such a statement, Zhang Heng immediately felt that this was an urgent matter.

"Hurry up and write down the design drawings in more detail. I will go to the palace to find the emperor right away."

Zhao Lie was feeling bad about the iron and steel factory, but he didn't expect that Eunuch Xu directly called for a message.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Great joy!"

"What are you so happy about?"

"Master Zhang Heng sent you a sign just now, and he was waiting at the door, and said that you need to see this great joy by yourself."

"What's so mysterious?"

Zhao Lie directly took the mysterious box that Eunuch Xu sent, opened it, and found a steel ingot inside.

"Where did this thing come from?"

"Your Majesty, the specific situation is still subject to the dean of the Academy of Sciences!"

"Then invite him in."

Zhang Heng finally met the emperor in the side hall.

"Why did you send a steel ingot at this time, do you want to please me?"

"Your Majesty, this time I came to ask you for money. The college has now assembled the first steel workshop, just because there are some equipment that cannot be operated without money. In addition, our iron Ore is very scarce, so there is no way to conduct the first round of steel experiments."

"What did you say? Your Academy of Sciences has built a steel manufacturing workshop? Then why didn't you tell me this morning?"

"I didn't know about such things until I returned to the Academy of Sciences, so I hurried to the palace to ask His Majesty for instructions without stopping!"

"What are you waiting for, hurry up and go to your Academy of Sciences."

Zhao Lie couldn't wait to come directly to the Academy of Sciences. When he walked directly into the very advanced steel manufacturing plant, his eyes finally became moist.

"Your Academy of Sciences is really awesome! I didn't expect that the Academy of Sciences would allow these workers to directly build a workshop just a few months after its establishment. It's just that this place doesn't seem suitable for steel manufacturing!"

"Your Majesty, this is where we have a headache. On the one hand, we have no raw materials. On the other hand, even if we have raw materials, we have no way to transport them. Obviously, our current place looks very closed and can only be used for construction. , due to the lack of funds, we have no way to continue the corresponding research. In other words, we have no way to conduct the first steel manufacturing test now. If there is no such way, we will have no way to guarantee the smooth progress of the first batch of steel. Appear!"

Some of these staff members directly reported the results of their work to the emperor.

"You guys are doing very well, but how much money do you need now?"

"We made an estimate based on the new currency system, and we need at least 300 million funds, and the money is not given to us directly, but to find a way to buy iron ore raw materials and some new equipment, because we are now All the steel raw materials are obtained through the manufacture of our laboratory, which means that this steel machine will take at least one month to be fully installed."

"This speed is really too slow. Is there any way to speed up this speed?"

"There is really no way. It doesn't mean that many people can get things done well, because it requires professional people to do professional work. It takes us a month to assemble this machine, and everyone has been working in shifts. So the emperor still needs to continue to wait."

"All the funds will be granted to you. After returning, I will directly discuss with Zhang Yi, but do you plan to go to the steel company or continue to work in the Academy of Sciences? If you go to the steel company, your salary will be several times that of the current one."

"Does Your Majesty mean to move the entire steel manufacturing out of the Academy of Sciences?"

Zhang Heng felt a little heartbroken. This was the first time that he had to split up after he finally made some achievements.

"In the future, more departments of your Academy of Sciences will be split up, so that you can truly serve the society, but these scientific research results can be treated kindly to you from the beginning, and what you need to carry out in the future will be some high-tech research. Research, so don't feel sad about the gains and losses in front of you, the reason why I imitate you as the dean is because you don't care about this aspect."
