The Royal Institute of Technology, which has been developed for many years, has already become the base of scientific research in the Tang Empire. Here, there are teaching materials and educational plans compiled by Li Xuan himself.
Due to the limitations of the times, the education and scientific research of the Royal Institute of Technology are somewhat deformed. Li Xuan told them many mathematical formulas, told them that atoms and neutrons exist in the world, and also told them some other chemical engineering knowledge.
But these are superficial knowledge. Therefore, teachers and students at the Royal Institute of Technology know and can skillfully use many mathematical formulas and many physical phenomena. However, it is impossible for them to demonstrate these phenomena in detail.
.
Simply put, they know some results, but they don't know what causes these results.
So over the years, many scientific research projects at the Royal Institute of Technology have actually copied and demonstrated what Li Xuan said.
Because you only know the results but not the process, which is actually useless!
Basically, it's like you know that the atomic bomb is very powerful, but you don't know how the atomic bomb is made. Just knowing that it is very powerful is of no use.
In recent years, Li Xuan has copied almost all the scientific knowledge in his mind, but in his mind, he is just an ordinary person. You let him play with the system, figure out the organizational structure, and the personnel system is okay, but you let him
It would be pure nonsense to write down the formula and manufacturing process of a certain alloy.
So many times, he can only tell the teachers and students of the Royal Institute of Technology that the simple structure of something is useful, but how to build it under the current level of technology, that requires the teachers and students of the Royal Institute of Technology.
I worked hard on my own.
The steam engine is the most obvious example. Li Xuan has told them the principle a long time ago, and even told them the direction of improvement very clearly. First, take the path of a low-pressure steam engine, and then follow the path of a high-pressure steam engine, and then improve the steam utilization efficiency.
, the specific application has been mentioned a long time ago, it can be used as industrial power, and it can also be used as a power for transportation. When loaded onto a ship, it can push the ship forward, and when loaded on the truck, it can pull the vehicle forward.
But the principle is there and the application direction is there, but how to implement it?
To turn a low-pressure steam engine into a high-pressure steam engine, Li Xuan actually didn't need to remind him. Those teachers and students who studied steam engines could all calculate through mathematical calculations and conclude that the greater the steam pressure, the greater the power.
However, the high-pressure steam engine's requirements for materials and manufacturing processes are too high, and it is impossible to build it even if it is dead or alive!
What can be done about this!
Otherwise, in recent years, the Royal Institute of Technology would not have been repairing low-pressure steam engines instead of high-pressure steam engines.
The steam engine is just a microcosm of the scientific research and development carried out by the Royal Institute of Technology. In fact, many projects have similar problems!
They know the principle and even have detailed design drawings, but they just can't make it!
Well, by the way, the same is true for China in later generations. Even if the Americans give us the original drawings of the f119 engine used in the f35, and then teach us step by step how to build it, we still can’t build it, because the people who built this thing
We don’t have the raw materials, nor the equipment required for processing…
This thing is the flower of industry, basic materials and processing technology are the core!
It only gives you a drawing of the finished product and does not provide you with materials and processing techniques.
If you really want to create these things, you need a complete industrial system that can support them, not just a set of finished product design drawings.
For the 16th century, the steam engine was a veritable flower of industry. Although this thing seemed extremely crude to later generations, the various technologies designed in it also required a corresponding industrial foundation to be built.
Not to mention other things, there is no material that can withstand high-pressure steam in the Tang Empire for the time being!
Otherwise, the Royal Institute of Technology would spend hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year on the research and development of various basic materials!
The scientific research within the Royal Institute of Technology is so abnormal, but the tasks it undertakes are so arduous. It can be said that the Royal Institute of Technology independently assumes the important task of promoting the advancement of science and technology in the empire. In this environment, the requirements for teachers and students of the Royal Institute of Technology are also
It's just very abnormal.
Those who can be admitted to the Royal Institute of Technology and the Royal Institute of Technology are all geniuses, and those who can successfully graduate from the Royal Institute of Technology and finally stay at the school to teach are all geniuses among geniuses!
There is no other reason. In such a crude and deformed scientific research environment, whether it is learning or scientific research, it actually relies heavily on IQ!
Only a true genius can learn and master profound knowledge from Li Xuan's words, and then apply it in practice.
This means that it is difficult to get admitted to the Royal Institute of Technology, but it is even more difficult to successfully graduate.
The Royal Institute of Technology recruits about a hundred students every year, but the number of students who successfully graduate every year, that is to say, is not accurate. This year, there are only 13 students who successfully graduated and stayed at the school to teach!
The remaining people were basically dismissed one after another from their freshman to senior years!
There is no way, although the Royal Institute of Technology is very wealthy, it also spends a lot of money. The funds required to train a scientist are huge, especially when senior students conduct various experiments, the money is flowing like water!
According to internal statistics from the Academic Affairs Office of the Royal Institute of Technology, the Chemistry Department of the Royal Institute of Technology has trained a total of 26 graduates over the past many years, and the expenditure spent by the Chemistry Department over the years has been 3.3 million taels of silver.
In other words, it costs an average of more than 120,000 taels to train a chemistry graduate!
Yes, you read that right, it’s twelve taels of silver, not one hundred and twenty taels, nor one thousand, two hundred taels, but more than 120,000 taels of silver!
And this is just a chemistry department at Royal Institute of Technology!
Currently, the Royal Institute of Technology has ten major departments including mathematics, physics, chemistry, mechanics, astronomy, geology, navigation, medicine, agriculture and forestry, and economics.
Among them, the three major departments of physics, chemistry, and mechanics are big money burners. At the same time, they are also the most competitive departments. If you are not a real genius, you will definitely not be able to make it. Other departments are better, but there is also a lot of pressure.
The Department of Economics that Tian Ping was admitted to was pretty good, because during the entrance exam, the Department of Economics was the least competitive department. Generally speaking, those geniuses who are truly confident will apply for science departments instead of
The Department of Economics is a theoretically inclined department.
However, even so, Tian Ping, a genius, could not persist. After working for six years, he did not even graduate, let alone graduate, and was finally forced to quit.
Even though he, a graduate of the Royal Institute of Technology, was already very impressive in the eyes of others, as soon as he was persuaded to quit, there were a lot of people outside vying for him.
Someone from the Ministry of Commerce found him and said that as long as he went to work in the Ministry of Commerce and started at the sixth rank, he did not need to go to a local post. He could be promoted to the fourth rank within three years in Gyeonggi Province.
People from the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises also came to him and said that there were many enterprises under the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, and he could choose whatever he wanted, no matter where he went. The worst he could do was be a department manager. After a few years of work, the top leaders of large enterprises under the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises would have no problems at all.
As for the big businessmen in the private sector, let alone them. They competed with the government for talents, and others were unreliable. They could only throw money at them. At that time, the big businessmen who came to win over him all took the Royal Bank directly.
A bank check comes to your door. As long as he agrees, he can immediately get a signature fee of several thousand taels or even tens of thousands of taels.
However, Tian Ping finally chose to recruit from the Royal Assets Division!
To be an official, to be honest, this is not what Tian Ping wants. If he wanted to be an official, he would not have gone to the Royal Institute of Technology, but would have gone directly to the imperial examination. With his intelligence, it would be very difficult for a Ph.D.
A matter of minutes.
Besides, although he was persuaded to quit, he still retained the full-sixth grade treatment. Students and teachers at the Royal Institute of Technology all have grades, and the grade is not low. Although this grade only has salary but no
Real power is different from the rank of ordinary officials. To be precise, it should be the level of treatment they enjoy.
Even if he was persuaded to quit, his grade and treatment would still be retained!
Even if he does nothing, he can still receive a monthly salary. In the local area, his status is equal to that of a county magistrate.
Now that he has a higher level of treatment, he simply doesn't want to be an official.
He is more interested in economics. He originally wanted to join the Royal Bank, especially the Strategy Department of the Royal Bank. That place is regarded as the most professional economic research institution in the country besides the Economics Department of the Royal Institute of Technology. Unfortunately,
, although people wanted to let him in, he could only be the person in charge of a small project, because there were many seniors from the same economics department.
Later, I simply grit my teeth. In addition, the Third Securities Company had just been established at that time. In order to recruit talents, I was willing to spend money. With an annual salary of 8,000 taels and high dividends, I could earn at least tens of thousands of taels in a year.
For his own sake, he reluctantly went to work for Third Securities Company.
From then on, he became the general manager of Third Securities Company!
He was born in the Department of Economics and formulated various development plans from the perspective of economic theory. He led a group of people who didn't know what stocks were a few years ago and might have been ordinary accountants and shopkeepers before.
The company has become the largest securities company in the country, managing assets exceeding tens of millions of taels!
In the ninth year of Xuanping's reign, he made excess profits for both clients and the company. He also gained a lot. His annual salary and dividends added up to more than 60,000 taels of silver.
Even in the financial industry where money is everywhere, this kind of income is considered an absolutely high salary!
But even so, failing to successfully graduate from the Royal Institute of Technology was still a pain in his life!
If he can successfully graduate and stay at the school to teach, he will be treated at least as a third-class person, and he will be escorted by the Guards when he comes in and out. When the ministers see him, they will politely call him "Professor So-and-so". As for life and economics,
Not to mention the treatment, top-notch enjoyment.
If major scientific research achievements are made, the knighthood can be obtained in minutes.
In today's Tang Empire, apart from the military, the highest concentration of knighthoods is nowhere else, but in the Royal Institute of Technology.
Among the teachers and students of the school, there is one marquis, two earls, seven viscounts, and more than twenty barons!
As for becoming an official in the imperial examination, don’t expect to be awarded a title in this life!
Nowadays, if you want to obtain the title of the Tang Empire, there are only three ways. One is that you are a member of the clan, and the royal relatives can obtain the title!
The second one is to join the army, risk your life to kill the enemy and be awarded a title for military merit!
The third one is to be knighted for major scientific research achievements!
Otherwise, why do you think countless geniuses strive to get into the Royal Institute of Technology every year, and then spend all day in the laboratory? In addition to the yearning for science, they naturally also yearn for glory and wealth!
Li Xuan's idea is very simple. Only by giving scientists adequate treatment can we stimulate the development of science and technology!
How could he conquer the world without scientists and advanced guns and warships?
Is it possible that we have to rely on actors or construction businessmen?
