Chapter 699
Black gunpowder was basically created by Wang Buxu.
And this time is only one afternoon.
With Wang Buxu's form of scientific research, it may not even be called scientific research.
It's more like giving people the impression that a blind cat has hit a dead mouse.
It was as if Wang Buxing had no problems once something came to his mouth.
But then, Wang Buxu encountered something that gave him a headache.
The reason is very simple. Wang Buxu found a few people to continue researching black powder.
The purpose is to further improve the burning efficiency of black powder.
He has already found the best ratio. Although this sounds a bit deceptive, it was only found with the help of later generations.
Therefore, what Wang Buqi needs to do is to improve the purity of the raw materials. Only in this way can the burning efficiency of black powder be improved.
But, for this kind of thing.
Glauber's salt is now generally considered to be a medicinal material. If you ask him to look up the information, he can find out what diseases it can cure and what dose of it can cause death.
The same goes for sulfur.
Needless to say about charcoal, this is something that does not require explanation.
But you need him to purify it, and you need him to figure out what substances are contained in it, and why it can produce an explosive effect after being mixed with the other two things.
This is really difficult to be a human being.
Because they don't know what this is at all, it's like asking a primary school student to work on a computer program.
A child who has never been exposed to these things is fine if you let him play games, and he will definitely learn it quickly.
But if you ask him to write a piece of code, even if it is written randomly, it is still code, but will it work?
Therefore, the few people Wang Buxu found did some things that made people laugh.
In the past, there were only a few purification methods. High-pressure purification was the method used to distill alcohol.
Either inject water for purification, inject water, stir, precipitate, pour out the water, and what is left is the purified product.
Or it was smelted by fire, just like smelting steel. As a result, when it was thrown in, a burst of black smoke rose up, leaving nothing but a dark patch.
What's even more outrageous is that I put a pot on the pot and stir-fried it directly, which almost hurt someone.
Can this kind of thing be considered scientific research?
Even children of later generations know that firecrackers cannot ignite when they get wet.
The occurrence of these situations once again told Wang Buxu a reality.
What he calls scientific research is actually a leap-forward scientific research method.
Just skip all the processes and go directly from the beginning to the end.
But the current big men are still in the stage of exploring the basics, and they simply cannot master those advanced things.
This takes time and requires failure to accumulate.
It doesn't mean that if someone gives you a result, you can immediately understand the process.
One premise of reverse research is that you need to invest a large number of scientific researchers with solid basic knowledge to calculate step by step, eliminate wrong choices, leave the correct options, and then combine them together to crack this process.
And what does the big man have now?
By using an unreliable method that can kill you at any time to reverse engineer the crack?
While this process is certainly filled with all kinds of dangers and failures, it shouldn't be such a mistake that you wouldn't even dare to think of it with your heels.
At least you have to make some mistakes that you didn't notice under the guidance of correct theory.
Wang Buxu is very worried now, so he doesn't want to talk too much or make too high demands.
As long as he is given a junior high school physical chemistry teacher and a high school physical chemistry teacher, he only needs four people, and he can build up the physical chemistry foundation of the big man.
However, Wang Buxu is simply a scumbag in this regard. He can't even memorize a table of elements. What else do you expect him to do?
In addition, although Han Dynasty has an academy of science.
It sounds quite bluffing.
But if we hire an expert, one person can almost defeat the big bosses of the entire Academy of Sciences.
When these so-called big guys are doing scientific research, they are actually doing a little bit of trial and error, and they still rely on their feelings.
Real theoretical reserves are not enough.
But there are some exceptions. In terms of theory, students who have just graduated and just entered the Academy of Sciences are more solid.
Although I only learned some trivial things in school, I didn’t know how to do anything after I got to the Academy of Sciences and could only learn from the most basic ones.
Their strength is summarizing and recording. Some masters rely on their feelings to learn some things, but how to record these situations is more challenging.
In other words, although these rookies who are recording and summarizing are not taken seriously now, in ten or twenty years, this group of people will definitely make the Academy of Sciences rise to a higher level.
But this alone was not enough. Wang Buxian needed to speed up the entire Han Dynasty.
"The research on black powder can be stopped. No one is allowed to reveal this matter!" Wang Buxu first stopped the research on purifying black powder.
This no longer makes any sense, as the current technology and knowledge reserves cannot meet this requirement.
Therefore, even if we continue to experiment, it is nothing more than a waste of energy, financial resources, manpower, and may even cause some casualties.
These are totally uneconomical.
Only after the basic disciplines are established and the number of talents increases, can we gradually start them one by one.
"Ask a few people from each academy of the Academy of Sciences to summarize a batch of the most basic knowledge principles and compile them into a book. You can cite more examples as appropriate, and start setting up related majors in the five academies next year." Wang Buxian ordered again.
There is no other way.
The current Academy of Sciences is dominated by physics, and chemistry only occupies a very small part, and it is not taken seriously.
It's really because everyone is too unfamiliar with chemistry and don't even know what those things are. How do you ask him to do it?
So for a while, the king couldn't pursue too much even if he wasn't hungry.
We can only start with physics first, and we can also teach some chemistry.
Now there is no other way but to gradually change generations of people through this most primitive method.
It may take two or three generations before this technical level can reach a satisfactory level.
As for the many loopholes at the beginning, there is nothing we can do about it.
This is the first time for everyone, and they have no experience in water. It is normal to have loopholes. Don't you gain experience by doing it?
Cultivating talents in unfamiliar subjects is actually the same as doing scientific research, requiring constant trial and error.
