From Chief to Ball

There is no such explicit provision in the major regulations, but it has become a customary rule, so most people who can wear this kind of badge don't want to provoke them.Even if you may not respect or slander this guy in your heart or rely on your parents to get in, you still need respect on your face.

"I just heard everyone say that Chen Jian is the child of a naval officer?"

Everyone nodded and said, "I didn't expect to hear about his fame in the capital? That's great, Mincheng can finally produce a famous playwright in the capital..."

A few people chatted about it, why they were naughty when they were young, and even snatched their own door bolts as weapons when fighting here; A drama that Yi Zhandu admired; what donated part of the proceeds of the drama to the poorhouse, and also wrote some wishes to improve the living conditions of the poorhouse, hoped to give those children meat at least once every three months, and so on.

These are all excellent things, whether it is not becoming famous at a young age before the hard change, or not forgetting one's roots and kindness after becoming famous, they are all excellent.

But it wasn't what Li Yun wanted to hear, so she couldn't help asking: "Is this Chen Jian's father named Chen Siwen? Is he a naval officer?"

"Of course, there are quite a few people named Chen Jian in Mincheng, but this is the Chen Jian you want to ask."

People were sure, but Li Yun was a little confused.

He believed in the existence of geniuses, but he did not believe that there would be geniuses in his line of work who did not need time.As far as the detailed experiment report is concerned, it is impossible to draw so many detailed conclusions without more than a year of experiments, let alone the preparation work to be done before the attempt.

The most frightening thing is that everything that can be verified in the experiment report has been verified by repeated experiments, and there is absolutely no error.Li Yun is too clear about what is proved here. After repeated experiments done by herself, it must be the conclusion drawn by the little junior who used dozens or even hundreds of repeated experiments.

You know, the experimental equipment in the academy is not available elsewhere. Even if you want to buy a lot of glassware, catheters made of Eucommia gum, and ceramics, you have to go to the capital to buy them.

He didn't believe that a person could do hundreds of repeated boring experiments with simple tools, and by the way, write a play that could make the whole city of Min talk about it.

Unless...unless this little junior has already prepared these things since he was thirteen or fourteen years old, but how is that possible?Don't talk about those complicated experiments, it's just a lot of conjectures in it, which is a conclusion that can only be drawn after reading at least dozens of books. If a child of thirteen or fourteen has such ability and genius, he would have been admitted to the Xuegong, that means a road that is much wider than other places, so how could it not be famous before?

After listening to everyone's excited praise for a long time, Li Yun couldn't help asking: "Is there... nothing wrong with his family?"

"what's up?"

"Like...explosion? Smoke? Fire..."

Everyone looked at Li Yun strangely, cursing secretly in their hearts, thinking, this person is really weird, why ask such a question?People don't know that Li Yun has seen this kind of thing a lot. There is a joke circulating in the school. It is said that Mr. Mu's disciples run very fast. Good habit of lying on the ground.

After making a mess, Li Yun didn't ask any more questions. While everyone was discussing words such as silver coins, fame, and getting rich, she took a carriage and found Chen Jian's home according to the address.

After knocking on the door, Chen Siwen was at home, writing a letter.

The recipient of the letter was a friend who I could talk to in the army. In name, Chen Jian served there, and he was about to be sent to the Reserve Officer Academy for "excellent performance".

Now that it is determined not to go, then this matter needs to be resolved.The name of the person who replaced him was still called Chen Jian, but it was not certain whether it was this Chen Jian. Now that he had decided not to be a quartermaster, it was naturally not this one.

A slight change will not have too much impact, so make things as small as possible.Since he is not going to be an official, then this matter can be turned into a minor matter, and even if he is caught out in the future, it will not be too serious.

According to Chen Siwen's original plan, he was to take advantage of the final battle of Qi Qi to get his son a military quartermaster, collect some money, and when the war is over, he must disarm the army, and rely on the money to do something else—it is said that the military It is hoped that a batch of land can be allocated to those veterans, or that they have the right of first refusal.

In the end, the quartermaster is just a small lieutenant, not too small, and he can't step on anyone's tail or affect anyone's future. Naturally, no one will find out these sesame millet's bad things.

This is an evil path, Chen Siwen is very clear, but as long as you don't get ahead, nothing big will happen, everyone is like this.

It's just that his son suddenly became famous in Mincheng a few days ago, which made Chen Siwen have to wipe his ass for his son, but he was still very happy in his heart.

After writing the letter, I heard that someone was looking for him outside, and that the capital had come again. I was so excited that my son's reputation had spread to the capital, so I excitedly went to receive him.

After explaining the purpose of coming, Chen Siwen himself was taken aback. Xin said that he didn't know about it at all, and he couldn't quite understand it.

Before he was sure what was going on, he didn't talk too much, in case he missed something, so he just said some polite words.

Li Yun couldn't bear it any longer, and asked, "Where did your son go?"

Chen Siwen thought about what Chen Jian said a few days ago, and in order to put money on his son's face, he said, "He said...read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, go out and have a look."

Li Yun was taken aback by such big words. On the one hand, he heard the aura of reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles. Where can I find it?

With the last glimmer of hope, he asked, "Where has he traveled all this time?"

Chen Siwen said a little embarrassedly: "Actually... it's in Lin County. It's 130 miles away, and I guess I'll be back in six or seven days..."

Chapter 31 Ambition

If the Wanli road is covered with gold, there will be only a hundred miles left after removing the water.

In fact, Chen Jian is doing social surveys, but not social surveys of social movements, but social surveys of raw materials, water power, transportation and manpower that can be used to build factories.

In his opinion, it should be time to harvest, and a sum of black-hearted money will be available soon.

He will not make a move when the black-hearted money market is on the verge of collapse. If he is not careful, he will become the most tragic last taker.Even though it is possible to earn more in the end, the risk is greater.

Compared with the huge risk of the bubble bursting, Chen Jian felt safer, even if he got a little less.To be greedy is to have nothing.

Now that money is coming soon, what to do to make more money in the future can be put on the agenda.

For more than a month, he still wandered around Mincheng, spent a long time in the library, and investigated Mincheng's minerals and shipping prices to determine a general development direction in the future.

Once the fog is opened, he must ensure that he can form an externally expanding interest group within ten years.

At this time, there is no religion like the enthusiasm for wealth, land, money and cheap labor.Asking a Mincheng person to go out to fight in the name of China, or telling a Mincheng person that there are gold, land, minerals, and opportunities to make a fortune...these two temptations are different.

Fame is only a part, the most important thing is money and interests, the latter two can attract more people.This will not narrow the gap between the rich and the poor, but it will allow some middle-level people to get involved in this gluttony, temporarily ease some conflicts, and accumulate more wealth for the entire ethnic group.

Of course, these wealth should be used to make money, rather than become the basis for some people to pursue a luxurious life.

Even though it seems that the entire ethnic group does not have too many feudal shackles and has a good foundation, it is still a long way from the technological revolution.

In addition to making money, where to start to guide, this is also the goal of Chen Jian's investigation.

Many things sound simple, but they are extremely difficult to do, especially mechanical ones, which lack a lot of foundation.

Just because one person invents a certain machine, or many machines, does not represent the beginning of a technological revolution.

For example, the steam engine is still ten blocks away from thinking of it and realizing it.

Not to mention the qualified steel, the boring machine that can dig out the cylinder, the rubber ring used for sealing... these are just the most basic foundations.

Take the simplest component of the steam engine that can be put into use, and it seems that the materials at this time can already be made-the centrifugal governor, even if it can be made, it can't be used.

The principle of this simple centrifugal governor is nothing more than centrifugal force.Relying on centrifugal force to swing a heavy ball up, the simplest term is like a rattle, of course it is more complicated than that, and it also involves quadrilateral connecting rods.

The faster the rotation, the higher the swing, so that the valve can be adjusted by connecting with the connecting rod.If it is fast, it will be lifted up, the valve will be closed, and the speed will be slowed down; if it is slow, it will fall down, the valve will be opened, and the speed will be increased, so as to ensure the normal speed of the machine.

But it is such a simple thing that requires basic mechanics, centrifugal force, gravity, and the parallelogram law of force as a basis to calculate how much centrifugal force caused by the speed, how gravity can maintain a balance with this centrifugal force and the connecting rod valve.

Without this foundation, what can be made can only rely on experience, rely on the craftsman's visual inspection, estimation, and an unexplainable theory derived from countless experiments.With this foundation, a middle school student can get a theoretical value by doing arithmetic calculations, and no longer needs the craftsman's visual estimation.

This is the simplest little thing that the whole steam engine drives the machine completely.

And the mechanical basis behind this little thing requires mathematical conic sections as the theoretical basis, analytical geometry to connect algebra and conic sections to study deeper things, and someone needs to observe the movement of the planets and calculate that it is not a circle but a circle. The ellipse is used as an inspiration for gravitation. It is necessary to deduce the relationship between centrifugal force and velocity. It is necessary to understand that force changes the original state of an object. It is necessary to understand that inertia is not pushed by force...

All these, the more people know about it, the less likely it will be a flash in the pan.
