From Chief to Ball

The nomenclature of new chemical indivisible substances is determined, and the differences between metals and nonmetals and acid anhydrides are discussed.

23 kinds of indivisible substances were identified, among which iodine produced by Chen Jian and potassium produced by a school were added.

The new unit of timing, the second, is determined, the common volume unit in the discipline is determined, and the standard writing method of experimental reports and theoretical speculations is determined.

A consensus was reached on the matter of universal gravitation, but the correct formula for gravity was still debated, and discussions began to use universal gravitation to explain tidal phenomena.

... For a whole month, the top figures in these schools were arguing over these seemingly trivial matters, and cheered for their names or proposals to become new units of measurement.

They believe that these things will be immortal and spread all over the world in the future.

All the people in the photo signed their names on the result of the discussion on the day after the discussion, acknowledging that these units of measurement will be based on this in the future.

The results of this discussion are officially certified. In the center of the first row in the photo is the school inspector Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry. Mr.'s disciple, this inspector, Wailang, is the link between the Ministry of Industry and the academy, and he is responsible for communicating with the old gentlemen of the academy on some important projects.

This time he was able to come, which was regarded as an attitude of support from the Ministry of Industry for these people, but it was not a surprise.

This was Chen Jian's application at the banquet in the capital city, requesting the establishment of a school of knowledge and practical science in Mincheng.

The higher ups don't need to pay money, they just need a name. After all, Chen Jian is also Mr. Xuegong, and he still has the qualifications to accept apprentices and start classes.

This time, Yuanwailang came to Mincheng, in addition to expressing his support, he also wanted to see how the Academy of Practical Sciences proposed by Chen Jian would operate.

Chen Jian had been prepared for a long time. With his reputation, the benefits and changes he brought to everyone, his sharp tongue, and his influence in Mincheng, he persuaded a large number of mine owners and workshop owners to participate in the competition. this meeting.

At the meeting, Chen Jian proposed to transform science into power and money, which is the role of the Academy of Practical Science.

The mode of operation uses a relatively novel form, first make a model.

Some of the money will be paid by him and some mine owners and workshop owners who believe in him; some of the students will be paid by Mr. Xuegong's disciples;

Using the water pressure, mechanics and other things obtained from various previous experiments as the principle, small objects such as oil presses using the principle of water pressure can be made in a short period of time.

The long-term goal is to turn the steam engine of the glass model into an iron object.

Coal mine drainage needs, glass workshop grinding needs, iron ore crushing needs, blacksmith's forging hammer needs...

These are all real needs, as long as they appear, they can save a lot of manpower, especially the manpower of many non-technical types of work, and can double the efficiency.

The principle has been clearly stated, and the atmospheric pressure has also been measured by a four-foot glass tube water column. As long as the piston pressure is greater than the atmospheric pressure and reaches a certain value in theory, it can drive some mature primitive machines today.

The gun workshop of the Ministry of Industry has the best turners, blacksmiths and simple lathes. It takes time to complete the cylinder, and it takes time to improve the model into a practical iron lump.

However, these people can afford to wait.

The power is very low, which is not a problem. For coal mines, coal has become very cheap after explosives and wooden tracks.As long as this thing can be made, coal can be burned to raise water, and the cost of coal is negligible for coal mines.

And even if it only has the strength of one or two cows, once the iron bump can have the strength of one or two cows, some machines don't have to be so troublesome, because the cows must have a huge space and conduction again if they want to pull the machine.

For the reciprocating structure, Chen Jian also put forward his views.

In the early stage, there is no need to even consider the self-feedback structure of reciprocating motion. Even if it is made out, it is no problem to hire an apprentice to control the intake and exhaust with a hand-drawn rope. In fact, the steam engine was originally operated like this. The child laborer was lazy and tied the rope to the wheel to induce the reciprocating structure.

This can be regarded as a planned economy or planned science. Under the condition of the existence of traversers, this is the most efficient choice, far better than spontaneous operation.

However, some industries in Nan'an have formed an interest group after Chen Jian's involvement. With the continuous excavation of the canal, these coal mine owners, quarries, iron mines and other mines all understand what the future will be like. They are the group of interest groups most motivated to improve efficiency.

As for the textile industry, the steam engine does not seem to have anything to do with them before the water-powered loom and the shuttle.

The steam engine is just a source of power. Water power has the same effect, as does animal power. Therefore, the machinery with animal power and hydraulic power can be powered by a steam engine.

For mines and smelters, the existing machinery has seriously restricted their output and cost, and a more convenient power source is urgently needed.

There are already machines for blowers, coal crushing, drainage, forging, etc., but these machines lack convenient, reliable and relatively cheap power—compared with coal mines, coal is the cheapest power.

Now that the principle has been clarified, the rest depends on the practice of craftsmen and a lot of money, or compared to the wealth of Chen Jian and these mine owners and workshop owners, the money is not much.

But this new way of cooperation is unprecedented. Money is used to support the transformation of science into technical practice. The goal is set first and then dedicated personnel focus on this goal. It abandons the previous way of resignation and allows craftsmen to have a higher level. work enthusiasm and life security.

Although the current research direction is limited to some specific industries, this is enough. Once successful, it will completely disintegrate the previous invention system before Chen Jian's forward-looking knowledge is exhausted, and truly let everyone see the power of science, even if it is Worship doesn't matter.

In fact, it is still made by craftsmen, but Chen Jian must be named as a science.

People can't tell the difference, they only know that these things are produced in the name of science.

These eccentric, everything-changing machines were born out of science, out of arithmetic, out of things they thought were meaningless.

Such as parallelism, angle, force, pressure, centrifugal force, atmospheric pressure... These things are really not that useful now.

But Chen Jian wants to deceive everyone into thinking that this thing is useful. When everyone believes it, this thing should have reached the inflection point of its usefulness.

The deception of stealing the concept.

Chapter 132 Spread

This is not the time when black steam from ironclad ships knocked at an ancient empire, when the wise men of the ancient empire, seeing the horrors of science, would find a way to catch up.

This is just an era when the handicraft industry is growing, and theoretical science and craftsmen are not yet qualified to keep pace with each other.

At this moment, there is not much difference between science and art, music and other things, and it can only be the hobby of scholar-bureaucrats, nobles, and big businessmen.

Before that inflection point, it is not necessary for everyone to study science. It is enough for the vast majority of people to believe that science can be used in the world. It is enough to penetrate into everyone's basic necessities of life in a way that is closest to ordinary people's lives, and attract more people to invest in it. Into this magnificent and complex new world.

Photography is undoubtedly an excellent method, which can be quickly popularized after simple handicraft production is completed in the preconditions, and more people can exclaim the greatness of science.

When Chen Jian brought the cleaned dozens of photos to those people, their expressions made Chen Jian more convinced that this was feasible.

People who have experienced countless ups and downs stared at the black and white photo in their hands and opened their mouths wide.

His eyes were fixed on the serious and upright self in the photo, and through the black shadows on the fibers of the paper, he shook his head incredulously, attracting more people to watch.

The paintings are not as colorful as those painted by the best painters, only the light and shadow intertwined with black and white, but this light and shadow can be copied... Dozens of photos are exactly the same, which is impossible for the best painters .

Besides, the painter still needs time, and these dozens of photos were only made by Chen Jian in a day.

In the photo, the towering red brick building at the back is extremely clear, and several carriages parked nearby are inadvertently fixed on the photo.

Turbans, hair buns, long gowns...these things are of different colors, but they use simple black and white to outline the colors that people can imagine, as if the things inside come to life.

When the person in the photo put down the photo, the disciples around him or those who followed to participate in this grand event carefully picked it up, tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tut-twm-wowed-and-twitch-to-twitch-the-students-to-be.

"How did this happen? Why did it happen?"

This is not a question of one person, but a question of everyone present, but people are not frightened enough to think that their souls have been sucked into that wooden box.

Chen Jian smiled, faced everyone, took out a book with a smile and said: "This is the photography technique I compiled, and how to operate it is clearly written on it. If you want, you can give everyone a copy. A painter has a soul, and there are emotions in the painting. But science can only record, which is cold and has no human emotions. I like such cold things, but I prefer this cold thing to be known to everyone.”

These words surprised many people present. Some people joked: "Chen Jian, you will turn all new things into money. Even if you do good deeds, you only do them after you earn money. Why did you change your nature this time?" gone?"
