Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Folks also have old-fashioned methods of scraping toilets and boiling saltpeter.

However, since the output of this method is not high, it is enough to make firecrackers at home.

However, the demand for the army is huge, and old-fashioned methods will not work.

You know, for a battle with thousands of people, the saltpeter required is measured in hundreds of kilograms!

Scraping toilets is old-fashioned – how many toilets can be scraped by an army?

Song Yingxing stroked his beard and laughed:

“Your Majesty’s method is equivalent to industrializing an old-fashioned method.

In this way, with a large number of soldiers providing excrement, the natural output of boiled saltpeter will be very considerable! "

When Song Yingxing said this, he suddenly raised his head.

He looked longingly at the thick stack of drawings on the emperor's desk, and his heart jumped into his throat.

A drawing drawn out by His Majesty at random turned out to be such a magical weapon?

God!

On the table in front of His Majesty - that thick stack...

God!

How many good things does His Majesty have in his hands?

Song Yingxing's breathing was rapid and could be clearly heard in the hall.

I saw Song Yingxing breathing heavily, and his eyes that were about to pop out had turned red!

Song Yingxing's mind was spinning:

No wonder Bi Maokang and the two were reluctant to leave.

For us technology geeks, what could be more eye-catching than novelty?

oh my god!

Your Majesty, there are good things here!

Song Yingxing rubbed his hands and wriggled his lips, wishing he could quickly step forward and grab all the emperor's drawings!

……

Zhu Youjian's lips curled up into a smile.

He saw Song Yingxing's fiery eyes.

What does that sentence mean - dry firewood meets fierce fire...

Then it’s hard to separate!

There is a saying that a macho man meets a fierce woman...

Uh!

bah bah bah!

What is this called...

If you want to take it, you must first give it!

Zhu Youjian looked at Song Yingxing scratching his face and cheeks, and the corners of his mouth curled up:

This technical master cannot escape!

……

Seeing that he had hooked up with Song Yingxing, Zhu Youjian kept silent about the drawings, but instead said:

"When I left the capital, I had thousands of catties of green vitriol buried in the palace. Do you know what will happen?"

After heating green vitriol, "acid" will be obtained...

Three acids and two bases are the basis of industry.

The carbonization of green vitriol, depending on the extraction method, will produce nitric acid and sulfuric acid.

Of course, the production capacity of sulfuric acid will be greater if coal ore is used for extraction.

When you heat salt and concentrated sulfuric acid, you get hydrochloric acid.

As for the two alkali, aren't they yellow alkali and soda ash?

China has already made it...

And nitric acid, sulfuric acid, add some lard, remove the fatty acids, that is glycerol.

Glycerin is...

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At the same time, nitric acid is the raw material for making flash caps!

With the flash cap, you can tinker with fixed ammunition!

The evolution from fixed-loading ammunition to copper-cased fixed-loading ammunition is just a matter of thinking.

With copper-cased fixed-loading ammunition, breech-loading guns are a foregone conclusion...

The rate of fire of a breech-loaded gun is at least five times that of a front-loaded gun!

As soon as the breech-loading gun comes out——

Singing and dancing will become their tradition!

……

Of course, this series of operations will also yield a derivative—fertilizer!

……

Zhu Youjian knew very well that a breakthrough in one weapon alone was not enough to drive technology.

With the current level of technology in the world, even if a flash hat is invented, the output will not be high!

Although large-volume manufacturing cannot be achieved in a short time, and even within 30 to [-] years, there is no way to scale up the industry!

but!

Zhu Youjian glanced at the confused Song Yingxing.

fine!

Dana Song is not yet 60 years old!

Historically, in order to preserve the clothes of the Han family, he lived in seclusion in the mountains, although the last time he appeared in people's sight was in 1655.

However, Song Yingxing lived at least 80 years old.

That is to say...

There are still more than 20 years to go!

Zhu Youjian didn't believe it. With his own promotion, the first industrial revolution could not be achieved!

……

The person standing in front of him was Song Yingxing!

This is a "wrong shave of greatness". I would rather be scolded than shave the yin and yang head of a great man who only got it 200 years ago!

(Guess the reason yourself...)

Even Darwin, who wrote "The Origin of Species", cited the arguments in "Tiangong Kaiwu" as evidence of the evolution and mutation of his species.

How awesome is Song Yingxing?

All I can say is that he is an all-rounder, a fierce man who knows everything and is good at everything!

How awesome is this guy?

A person who is admired by all the technology masters around the world!

……

Zhu Youjian chuckled, picked up the drawings on the table, and handed them to Wang Chengen.

Song Yingxing's eyes widened, his lips parted slightly, and he tried several times to speak. However, in the end, reason defeated his desire for knowledge.

The emperor didn't give it to him, so he couldn't take it!

This is the way of a monarch and his ministers!

Zhu Youjian waved his hand and said to Song Yingxing:

"Song Qing's family has been tired of traveling all the way. Let's take a day off today. Tomorrow, you will preside over the construction of the Ming Royal Academy of Sciences!"

Song Yingxing rubbed his hands, his eyes moved following Wang Chengen, and he said:

"Your Majesty, I am not tired. I am full of energy. I..."

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Youjian laughed and stretched out his hand to stop Song Yingxing from saying:

"As our ancestors said, haste makes waste. You build the Academy of Sciences first and train talents for me!

As the saying goes: A fence has three stakes, a hero has three gangs.

Even though your whole body, Song Changgeng, is made of iron, how many nails can you drive in? "

Zhu Youjian said sincerely:

"It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. Only through science and education can a country be rejuvenated!"

"You help me cultivate talents first, and when your students are half as good as you, even if you teach by categories, each person will only teach half of your ability in one aspect!

By then, whatever our Ming Dynasty wants to build, we will have enough manpower! "

Song Yingxing thought about it carefully and realized that what the emperor said was indeed correct.

He finally turned his glasses away from Wang Chengen...

Not right either.

Wang Chengen entered the side hall, and Song Yingxing could not see him...

The drawing that seduced Song Yingxing's mind disappeared. Song Yingxing returned to normal, and reason returned to Song Yingxing.

He thought about it and said:

"May I ask Your Majesty, how many people can the Royal Academy of Sciences accommodate?"

Zhu Youjian stood up, his face full of pride:

"Our glorious China has been glorious for 5000 years. We are the leaders of mankind in all walks of life!"

“The Royal Academy of Ming Dynasty that I intend to establish will have hundreds of branches.

Whether it is astronomy, geography, smelting, casting, navigation, Yi language, humanities, history..."

Zhu Youjian was so proud:

"Even if it's spinning and clothing, various industries...

Even if it is grinding tofu, our Royal Academy of Sciences of Ming Dynasty should have such a subject! "

Song Yingxing felt relaxed and happy after hearing this, although the emperor's wish was probably...
