Deng Yuhan's mechanics partner Wang Zheng is already under the command of Wang Hongyu. The two of them met many years earlier than in the previous life. The steam engine developed by Wang Zheng in the previous life is no longer afraid of being stolen by Watt. The two of them must have made great achievements in mechanics and machinery. .
In this way, mechanics will not be left out. I believe Li Tiezhu will learn all his knowledge and discover more things.
Astronomy will also be useful, and Wang Hongyu will definitely find suitable students for him, open up his treasure house of knowledge, and let astronomy flourish in China.
Under his guidance, Deng Yuhan was also able to explore chemistry, and he had already made good achievements in Western medicine.
Chemistry has not yet been explored and discovered by humans in this era, and it is still primitive chemistry in the East and the West. In the West, it is called "alchemy", and in the East, it is "alchemy".
It was not until 30 years later that the initial development of chemistry was entered.
From that time on, oxygen was called phlogiston in the West, while Song Yingxing in the late Ming Dynasty during the same period called the basic chemical element "vital energy".
After that, for 200 years in the East, chemistry made no progress.
In Russia, which is relatively peripheral to the West, Mendeleev is about to propose a periodic table of elements.
Of course, Wang Hongyu cannot directly develop the chemical industry, but he can at least promote the simultaneous development of philosophy and chemistry.
Deng Yuhan and Song Yingxing together can deduce the Eastern atomic theory of "vital energy".
Then, whether it’s energy punk or petrochemical industry, we’ll talk about it later.
However, the basis of chemistry is petroleum. Wang Hongyu can remember the position of some important petroleum. In this life, China must take the lead in petroleum, so that the foundation of chemistry and modern industry can be laid.
Deng Yuhan is nearly 1.8 meters tall, slightly fat, with a black shawl and naturally curly hair. He is 70% similar to the portrait of Newton that Wang Hongyu saw in his previous life. He is in his mid-forties, fair-skinned, without a beard, and speaks with a Cantonese accent. of Chinese.
Wang Hongyu, Jin Nige, Bi Fangji, and Long Huamin served Deng Yuhan and his friends with drinks, and they had a pleasant conversation. Although Yunyang is remote, it has beautiful scenery and is very suitable for people who want to learn. Deng Yuhan liked it very much. here.
After the meal, Deng Yuhan took out a mimeographed "Compilation of Leonardo da Vinci Manuscripts" and gave it to Wang Hongyu. A few days later, Wang Hongyu announced that Deng Yuhan was the librarian of the mobile library of the capital school, covering astronomy, medicine, mechanics, and mechanics. Biology and Chemistry Lecturer.
Jin Nige, Long Huamin and others stared wide-eyed. They only worked as a librarian in the mobile library of the Capital School, while Deng Yuhan became a lecturer in six subjects as soon as he arrived.
They know that lecturer is currently the highest professional title in the library, and the salary is the same as that of a librarian. Moreover, the library does not have a director position at all, and even Wang Hongyu only has a librarian title.
This time, Deng Yuhan and his party brought a lot of tomatoes and many tomato seeds from Macau. They like this kind of ornamental plant very much and want to plant it in their own courtyard and on the slopes of Yunyang.
This is a good thing for future generations. It can be used as both a fruit and a vegetable. It is more nutritious than ordinary vegetables. Wang Hongyu washed a few and started to eat them.
This frightened Deng Yuhan and others, shouting: "It's poisonous, don't eat it!" It was too late to stop them, and they saw Wang Hongyu swallowing a tomato in three mouthfuls.
Wang Hongyu said: "It's not poisonous. This is good stuff. If you don't believe me, why don't you try it?" Several people were so scared that they stepped back. But Wang Hongyu not only wasn't poisoned, but also ate two more.
He also used tomatoes to make a can of tomato sauce, and used tomatoes to scramble eggs at noon. In order to keep the seeds, Wang Hongyu always took out the tomato seeds in advance, and even spit out the seeds of the ones he just ate.
Dry in a clean place.
Long Huamin thought the seeds were poisonous, but Wang Hongyu said they could be used as seeds next spring. In fact, they can grow after planting in autumn, but they will only bloom and not bear fruit when the temperature is low.
I heard from Deng Yuhan that there was something brought to Macau from Nanyang. He said it was brought back from America and it was delicious. I wonder if it can be grown. I brought a lot of it this time and it is still on the ship.
Wang Hongyu hurriedly went to see it, and it turned out to be peanuts. Wang Hongyu also asked Xu Guangqi to search for them. He could not find them even after searching for them, so it took no effort to find them.
Peanuts are suitable for planting in sandy land. Qixian County was the main producing area of peanuts in later generations. They can also be planted on the slopes of Yunyang Mountain. By introducing tomatoes and peanuts, sauce factories can greatly expand their production; peanuts can also be squeezed for oil.
Wang Hongyu began to lay out the Chinese food industry. Nowadays, the economically developed areas in the south are different from the areas in the north that have not yet solved the problem of food and clothing. Township catering industries have emerged in many places in Jingxiang, and densely populated streets in cities are already covered with shops.
Therefore, the development of the catering industry is currently mainly considered south of the Huaihe River. Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, Portuguese chicken, and egg tarts are all delicacies that combine Chinese and Western cuisine and have since become part of Chinese food.
The development of Chinese food must first consider the enrichment of catering materials. On this basis, a variety of foods can be excavated. However, the enrichment of diet must also be carried out under the conditions of economic development.
The following crops are all crops that have been introduced or not introduced from South America and Southeast Asia at this time. How many have not been introduced yet? Wang Hongyu must hurry up to introduce, cultivate and promote them.
Deng Yuhan also made great achievements in botany. After coming to Yunyang, he became fascinated by this large mountainous area that divides the climate between northern and southern China.
After half a month of inspection, Deng Yuhan proposed to Wang Hongyu that he would establish a biological laboratory in Yunyang and establish multiple plant breeding bases, and asked to go to Shennongjia for inspection.
He said that Zhuxi County, Zhushan County and Shennongjia have different climates throughout the year in spring, summer, autumn and winter. There are snow-capped mountains in summer and spring-like basins in winter. They are natural breeding bases for animals and plants.
Animals and plants from tropical, temperate and cold zones can find a home here, and any animal or plant in the world can be cultivated here. By changing the growth environment, new varieties that can adapt to various climatic conditions can be cultivated as soon as possible.
He found that the closer to Shennongjia, the more the plants mutated. It is possible that the geology of the Shennongjia area is special and needs to be investigated in depth. This will be of great help to him in cultivating new plant varieties.
In three days, too many things happened.
Finally, the new governor of Yunyang arrived.
Cai Fuyi, the founder of the "Miao Border Great Wall", arrived as the new governor.
He was attracted by Tianqi, Wang Hongyu and the cabinet court.
This time I arrived with a mission.
When he was promoted, he received a secret edict. Carrying the secret, he prepared to work together with Wang Hongyu's civil and military forces and sincerely cooperate with Yunyang as the rear base to jointly deal with the upcoming She'an Rebellion and promote the drastic reform of the southwest.
