Emperor Su He and his party left from the Royal Academy of Sciences.

Emperor Su He did not return to the palace, but discussed state affairs with ministers in Qianqing Palace.

Instead, he led everyone to the Cloud Restaurant on the top floor of the Empire State Building.

The Empire State Building is owned by the royal family and is the most important commodity trading center in the empire.

Whether it is warships and tanks necessary for national defense, or sugar and cloth consumed in large quantities by the people, there are all kinds of products here.

Products allowed to be sold by the Empire can be found at various counters in the Empire State Building.

Emperor Su He and his party looked at the busy Empire State Building. Instead of taking the elevator, they took the stairs next to them and climbed to the Cloud Restaurant on the top floor.

They had just reached the tenth floor when Cabinet Minister Honeysuckle was holding on to the handrail of the stairs, breathing heavily.

"Your Majesty, I can't walk anymore. I really can't walk anymore."

Emperor Su He also had a slight sweat on his face. He saw that some officials in the Governor's Office were in relatively good condition.

Many civil servants were gasping for air and their faces were dripping with sweat.

When Emperor Su He saw the ministers like this, he ordered: "Okay, let's all rest for a while.

I ask you to exercise more, but some of you are too weak."

Honeysuckle leaned against the wall and said helplessly: "I was in good health before, but I got cold several times and my health is getting worse day by day."

Honeysuckle is also helpless. He is the prince's rival, and as the prince's position gradually becomes more stable.

He can only pretend to be frail and sickly. Once the situation in the government goes wrong, he will immediately choose to retire.

Then he led his family and left the empire to live in a vassal country.

As long as Emperor Su He chooses to retreat bravely before he abdicates, the family can be preserved.

If Emperor Su He really walked in front of him, it would be his fate, and he would have no choice but to accept his fate.

Honeysuckle took a few breaths and asked, "I saw many businessmen coming to the Empire State Building, and they all took a device called an elevator.

It only takes a few minutes to go from the first floor to the top floor.”

Prince Su Shu's eyes widened and he said loudly: "Honeysuckle, you don't have good intentions.

Elevators are indeed convenient to use, but they have major safety hazards.

The Empire State Building is more than 100 meters high. Once a piece of equipment like an elevator falls to the ground from a height of more than 100 meters, how can the people inside survive?

There have been three accidents involving the Empire State Building's elevators alone, claiming eight lives.

You just want to put your father in a dangerous environment for your own convenience, what are your intentions?"

Honeysuckle's face changed drastically, and he immediately said with fear and fear: "Your Majesty, I don't know about this situation."

Emperor Su He waved his hand and said: "Those who don't know are not guilty. The elevator is a new equipment. Before it appeared, there must have been various problems.

We cannot stop eating because of choking, we must look at the problem from a development perspective.

When the elevator equipment is really mature, I will naturally take the elevator.

Under the current circumstances, it is still safe to take the stairs."

Emperor Su He and others talked about what they saw at the Royal Academy of Sciences. They stopped and walked and soon arrived at the Cloud Restaurant on the top floor of the Empire State Building.

This is an extremely empty restaurant with huge floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides.

They stood in the restaurant and looked down from the Empire State Building, the tallest building in the capital, and could see a panoramic view of the capital.

The layout of Yunshang Restaurant is very flexible, with large round tables for groups of ten, long tables that can seat more than fifty people, and small square tables for single people.

Emperor Su He asked Yunshang Restaurant to arrange a small square table for one person and one seat this time.

The banquet invited by the emperor himself, whether it is a long table or a large round table, is not suitable for this occasion.

As long as there are seats for more than two people, they will be deeply interpreted by the outside world.

A small square table for one person to sit alone can best reflect the relaxed and happy atmosphere, so that the ministers do not have to be tense all the time.

The waiters at Yunshang Restaurant quickly served sumptuous meals.

Everyone can order the dishes they like according to their own taste.

Emperor Su He raised his glass and said: "Today I drink this glass of wine with all my dear friends. With our joint efforts, the empire will definitely get out of the haze of the economic crisis.

The Royal Academy of Sciences and his team gave me full confidence.

My dear friends, please share your opinions."

Everyone present saw Emperor Su He drinking wine. They raised their wine glasses and toasted in the direction where Emperor Su He was, and then drank the glass of wine.

After everyone finished drinking, they all looked at the reactions of the people around them.

Prime Minister Lin Wenjing spoke first: "Your Majesty, the results of the Royal Academy of Sciences shocked me.

Whether it is broadcasting technology, a new technology that brings the court closer to the people.

Or the advancement of materials technology will definitely bring about a new round of market prosperity.

The imperial court invested heavily in the Royal Academy of Sciences and achieved ideal returns.

The minister supports the imperial court's heavy investment in the Royal Academy of Sciences.

Advances in science and technology can greatly enhance confidence in the market.

The minister concluded that it took the empire several decades to develop a powerful strength that was stronger than the accumulation of thousands of years in ancient times.

The main reason is that the empire has completed its industrialization.

In the era of industrialization, we must attach great importance to technology.

I now dare to assert that any industrialized country that wants to stop developing science and technology will inevitably be eliminated by the times."

Chief of General Staff Qin Xiangkun lamented: "Your Majesty, I believe that the Royal Academy of Sciences does not pay attention to the development of military technology.

The Grand Governor wanted more powerful gunpowder, but the Royal Academy had no solution.

The Metropolitan Government wanted more stable rockets, but the Royal Academy had no solution.

The Royal Academy of Sciences' scientific research technology is powerful, but their scientists are only willing to develop things that interest them.

I think this is not possible. There are many technologies, and only the Royal Academy of Sciences has the technical strength to solve the problem.

The Royal Academy of Sciences can indeed solve many problems, but I suggest that the Royal Academy of Sciences must not monopolize the research and development of all cutting-edge technologies in the empire.

The Royal Academy of Sciences should learn from universities, accept external cooperation, and designate the development of certain technologies."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When Qin Xiangkun visited the Royal Academy of Sciences, he felt extremely disappointed.

He had previously understood the technological progress of the empire, including the progress of military technology.

Only this time, most of them are scientific theories and materials, as well as some very important equipment in the industrial field.

The only new technology that stands out is the portable communication system.

After the advent of the telegraph, military command became easier.

They only need to sit in the rear to understand the situation of the frontline generals.

There will never again be a situation where military orders abroad will be ignored.

The emergence of the telephone made military command more streamlined.

Generals can give orders to grassroots directly through the phone, and the army can be quickly mobilized to carry out more complex tasks.

The reason why the army has so many levels is because in an era of poor communication, each general can only command a small number of direct troops.

The only way to mobilize the army more conveniently is by delegating power to generals at different levels.

The portable communication proposed by scientist Mei Hongyun has profoundly changed the military's combat methods.

The current radio transmits sound, and the terminal equipment can only receive it but not send it. There is no possibility of this technology being used in the military.

Emperor Su He waved his hand and said: "The main task of the Royal Academy of Sciences is to study basic science.

A nine-story tower starts from the base of the earth; a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Only by laying a good foundation can technology explode.

The Royal Academy's main mission will not change.

The emergence of some new results is only a side result of the Royal Academy of Sciences' research on basic science.

The Metropolitan Government can definitely cooperate with various universities.

The Royal Dean of Science is responsible for basic research, and they may not be as good as university professors in a certain professional field.

The Metropolitan Government felt that cooperation with universities was not enough to complete the task.

It is entirely possible for the Grand Governor to take the lead, with the Weapons Research Institute as the backbone, to establish a special Academy of Military Science to study advanced military technology.

I have always believed that there is specialization in the art industry.”

Emperor Su He's attitude was very clear. The main task of the Royal Academy of Sciences is to study basic science.

In a field like basic science, the investment is huge but the output may not be produced, and the investment must be led by the state.
