Chapter five hundred and fiftieth bright prospects
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately said: "Then immediately set up a special research institute to make this steam engine."
"Your Majesty, I agree to set up a research institute to develop steam engines now, but there is one thing that needs to be explained in advance." Zhong Jinwei said with a serious face.
"Master Zhong, if you have anything to say, just tell me." Emperor Chongzhen had already been mentally prepared.
Zhong Jinwei was afraid that Emperor Chongzhen and others would be eager for results after knowing that the steam engine was a good thing, so he first reminded: "Developing a steam engine is a long-term process. It may not be effective in a short time, so you have to be patient."
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he waved his hand to Zhong Jinwei and said: "Master Zhong is worrying too much! Of course I know that it will not be easy to make such an important thing. Don't worry, I have plenty of patience to wait."
The reason why Emperor Chongzhen in history was impatient in doing things was because he was forced to do things. He was fighting in the front, but the results were not yet seen, and the money and food in his hands were exhausted. There was no way to continue, so he had to rush.
The current Emperor Chongzhen is different. The situation in the Liaodong war has been stabilized. The peasant uprisings in the Qin and Jin lands have disappeared. Although there are still disasters, they are still stable for the time being. In addition, Emperor Chongzhen has money in his hands, so he
Of course the reward is patience.
Zhong Jinwei nodded slightly after hearing Emperor Chongzhen's statement, and continued: "To make this steam engine, I vaguely remember that there is a need for a sealing material called rubber."
"Oh, where can I find this kind of rubber?" Emperor Chongzhen asked immediately after hearing this.
Zhong Jinwei didn't know much about this, so he could only say based on his impression: "Your Majesty, I don't remember very clearly. I only know that the rubber trees that produce rubber are subtropical or tropical trees. You have to look for them in the far south. It is likely that there are trees in Southeast Asia.
have."
He remembered that later generations discussed that the Japanese would eventually go south to go to war with the US military in order to compete for strategic resources, such as oil, rubber, etc., so he said this.
In fact, the origin of the rubber tree is in the Americas and did not exist in Southeast Asia at this time. Because Zhong Jinwei's memory was wrong, his work was in vain. Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty's vassal clan feudalized North America, so the Ming Dynasty accidentally discovered the rubber tree later.
.
After hearing Zhong Jinwei's answer, Emperor Chongzhen thought that this was not a problem, and immediately said: "How about I send someone to look for this rubber tree?"
Zhong Jinwei nodded, but then expressed his opinion: "Your Majesty, the current situation in Southeast Asia is complicated. I suggest that instead of sending official people to search for rubber, it is better to send state-owned enterprises to Southeast Asia to do business. One can make money, the other is to look for rubber, and the third is
Spying on all kinds of intelligence to prepare for the Ming Dynasty's future involvement in Southeast Asia."
Wen Tiren listened on the side, nodded in agreement, and reported to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I think this method of Marquis Zhongxing is very good. My Ming Dynasty's current energy should be on Liaodong and the feudal feudal North America."
"Okay, then do what Marquis Zhongxing said." Emperor Chongzhen saw that both Zhong Jinwei and Wen Tiren had this view, so he naturally would not disagree.
Wang Chengen listened on the side and wanted to say that his Dongchang could also send people to do this. But now that the big bosses had reached an agreement, they did not speak.
Emperor Chongzhen walked back to the throne and sat down, and then said to Zhong Jinwei with a hint of expectation: "Master Zhong, if there are any good things in your hometown, why don't we tell them together and take a look?"
Zhong Jinwei was dumbfounded. Emperor Chongzhen's appetite was getting bigger and bigger. Seeing Wen Tiren and Wang Chengen looking at him curiously, he replied: "Your Majesty, there are a lot of good things in my hometown, but there are so many good things in my hometown.
Nothing can be done without a foundation. What we can do now is to lay a good foundation first so that we can make better things in the future."
Zhong Jinwei felt that this was a bit vague, so he gave another example: "For example, airplanes travel thousands of miles every day. It only takes one day to reach North America from the capital, but it will take at least hundreds of years to build this airplane, because
Electricity, engines, and aircraft shell materials are all still impossible to make now."
The three people in the Wenhua Hall listened leisurely and yearningly. Emperor Chongzhen also understood that what Zhong Jinwei said was true. However, he was still very interested and asked: "Master Zhong, is there anything else as incredible as an airplane?"
"There are many, such as mobile phones, which can still make calls even if they are thousands of miles away; such as nuclear bombs, which can level the entire capital and make it uninhabitable for decades; such as spaceships, which can bring people
To the moon; and the Star Destroyers..."
Zhong Jinwei bullied these three ancients who didn't know what the situation would be like in future generations. He even told the Star Destroyer, satisfying his selfish desires and shocking them severely.
After Zhong Jinwei said something, he saw that Emperor Chongzhen, Wen Tiren, and Wang Chengen were all stunned. He felt very happy and stood with a smile on his face, waiting for them to come to their senses.
After a while, Emperor Chongzhen wiped his envious saliva, came back to his senses and asked: "Master Zhong, it would be great if I could also visit your hometown."
Zhong Jinwei was speechless. He didn't expect Emperor Chongzhen to say such a sentence. If there was a space shuttle gate, Emperor Chongzhen's request could still be met, but now there is nothing he can do.
He replied to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, this request may be achieved in the future of my hometown. There is a saying in my hometown that if you can't think of it, there is nothing you can't do. We humans have infinite creativity, as long as we can imagine it, we can achieve it.
One day we will be able to make it.”
Zhong Jinwei's words were very bold, but to the three people in the Wenhua Hall, they had no doubt at all.
Before Zhong Jinwei appeared, they never thought that there could be mobile phones, airplanes, nuclear bombs and other things in this world. But these seemingly impossible things have been realized in later generations. So what Zhong Jinwei said "
They also take it for granted that there is nothing they can't do but can't imagine."
Wen Tiren thought about the beautiful scene described by Zhong Jinwei, and suddenly sighed in his heart. He was old and might not be able to see anything. He had had this thought several times after Zhong Jinwei appeared.
Facing Emperor Chongzhen, Zhong Jinwei continued to encourage: "Your Majesty, the territory seems to be very wide now. It takes a long time to convey something, and the control of the territory is a bit weak. But with the advancement of science and technology, distance will not be a problem.
The most developed country in my hometown has a slogan that can make their army appear in any corner of the world within a day. In the future, even if the entire world is controlled by the Ming Dynasty, it will still be able to manage it."
Emperor Chongzhen was very excited after hearing this and nodded vigorously.
"But these are still long-term prospects and we need to work hard to achieve them. As the saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Ming Dynasty must pay attention to science and technology, the power of craftsmen, and the achievements of research institutes, so that it will have a better tomorrow." Zhong Jinwei
Remind those present of humanity.
From talking about the North Pacific Warm Current to the steam engine, it finally became Zhong Jinwei to show these ancient people a bright future and emphasize the importance of technology. Judging from the current results, it is not in vain that Zhong Jinwei sprayed so much saliva.
