Chapter 744 The Apollo Project
Chapter 744 “Apollo Project”
Yang Jingwei had to live such a "dark" life every day. He really didn't take things lightly, let alone be lazy.
Being busy day and night is not without results.
Yang Jie looked through the requirements sent today and immediately said to Wang Chengen: "Big partner, please call Sun Yuanhua immediately. I have something to ask him..." Yang Jie has been following Sun Yuanhua's affairs. Seeing that Sun Yuanhua's experiment has progressed to a certain level, Yang Jie felt it necessary to follow up.
"I obey the order!" Wang Chengen said.
Yang Jing looked at the requirements in his hand again and thought carefully. The progress of the steel and cement was quite fast, and it had reached the point where it could build a frame, that is, concrete buildings with a "frame" structure can be tried.
Sun Yuanhua arrived soon.
After coming in, he still looked like Sun Yuanhua, who could not be black.
"My dear Sun Yuanhua, please see Your Majesty!" Sun Yuanhua came over hurriedly. He didn't say anything about sweat, but he still smelled a lot. There was nothing he could do. Who said that the experiment was so difficult?
"Get up!" Yang Jingwei said. Looking at Sun Yuanhua who was so dark, Yang Jingwei could only sigh. It was really a tiring job to do scientific research.
"Thank you for your kindness!" Sun Yuanhua said.
"Big partner, please bring a piece of iced watermelon for Sun Qing's family. I feel tired just by looking at Sun Qing's family..." Yang Jie said.
"I obey the order!" Wang Chengen agreed, and then directed the eunuch to present an ice watermelon to Sun Chengzong.
As soon as the ice watermelon entered the warm trunk, it immediately emitted a refreshing fragrance, making people saliva involuntarily.
"I thank Your Majesty for the reward!" Sun Yuanhua felt a little embarrassed. The watermelon was full of juice. It was not good to eat it, nor was it good to not eat it. It was inevitable that it would look ugly after eating it. It would be hindered by Zhan Guan. If you don't eat it, it was given by the emperor again.
Yang Jingwei also saw Sun Yuanhua’s embarrassment and smiled and said, “Eat it, your family has eaten it, I will talk about the matter again.” Yang Jingwei said with a smile.
"I received the order!" Sun Yuanhua had no choice but to lower his head and agreed. The thing had been delivered to his hands. He swallowed several saliva. He had to eat it even if he didn't eat it. He lowered his head and finished the watermelon as soon as possible. As soon as the ice watermelon was in his mouth, a coolness immediately surrounded his whole body. In addition, there was ice cubes in the warm trunk to cool down, and the pores on his body were opened, which was particularly comfortable, and his sweat immediately stopped.
Yang Jie saw that Sun Yuanhua had eaten ice watermelon and then began to talk about the serious matters.
"I saw that my family said that there is already a certain idea about cement pillars? Have you tried to build cement pillars into frames?" Yang Jie asked.
"Report to Your Majesty, the pillars built now are indeed relatively reliable. I have bombarded them with cannons in private. In addition to dropping some cement blocks, the pillars are safe and sound and very strong... Even if the cracks are blasted out, they are still relatively solid and can withstand more bombardment from cannons, which is incomparable to ordinary bricks and stones... If they are used to build fortress walls, they are not afraid of cannon bombardment, and they can be said to be as solid as a god..." Sun Yuanhua said immediately, and there is no need to say the excitement between his words.
"Okay, since the pillars built by the Qing family can be bombarded with cannons, I will arrange a show for the ministers to show them, and also set the matter of building steel and cement into a human world..." Yang Jing said. Although steel and cement are more practical, Yang Jing valued more that many families want to participate in the transaction of cement factories. Yang Jing intends to use their power to make the industrial school thing to lay the foundation for cultivating engineers. What he values more is the role of steel and cement in industrial transformation and is ready to promote the popularization of cement. Since the structure of this "rebar and cement" can resist the bombardment of cannons, it can be taken out to perform.
"What does Your Majesty mean?" Sun Yuanhua asked.
"It's nothing. Just let the Qing family see that the things built by the steel and cement are very strong, and it's better to make the people's altar with steel and cement. Once this matter is determined, the cement matter will be gone. When the cement matter is determined, I will let go of my mind. Doesn't the Qing family understand the truth?" Yang Jing asked with a smile. Now it is said that it is for the ministers to show the acting, but it is for those families who want to participate in cement trading. The people's altar matter is very lively, and everyone in the world is involved. With this excitement, they can promote the advantages of the steel and cement. They can't be anxious. Yang Jing himself has more initiatives and cannot follow him.
"But Your Majesty, although this cement pillar can be made, there are still many unsatisfactory aspects, such as forging and jointing. For example, the steel bar is actually just a large barrel forging and jointing, which is quite different from the real steel bar. I am still thinking about how to make the steel bar on a large scale... I'm afraid..." Sun Yuanhua is a skilled person. When he heard that the emperor wanted to introduce these to the ministers, he immediately revealed the shortcomings.
For example, the emperor said that steel bars and iron bones were used forged and connected by barrels made from large-net. In fact, there is still a big gap from steel bars. To truly create steel bars several meters long, he has to wait until he has initially completed the cement business. Now, the replacement products made from large-net barrels are used, just to verify the feasibility of cement columns, and there is a big gap from actual use.
Yang Jing was ashamed. Those who are technically employed are basically so "honest" and will lift the old bottom out at any time. The steel and cement was indeed forged with a barrel made of a large inner body, but it is also "fine iron". Although it is not as strong as the real steel, it is not very bad. It is enough to fool outsiders. You just pour out the truth at this moment...
"This..., let's not talk about steel bars. Although the barrel made by the big net is a little worse, it is worthy of the word "Iron Bones" and is not very bad..." Yang Jing said quickly. Now he is just taking advantage of the hot discussion of the people's world to blow cement to the sky. In fact, it has nothing to do with the real building of the people's world.
"This is, Your Majesty, I understand..." Sun Yuanhua said immediately. Through the exhaustive method of steelmaking, Sun Yuanhua can be said to be well aware of the performance of various steels. Through comparison and observation, he has long been thinking about which range of steel should be used to build steel and cement buildings. These steel bars are now being produced and are thinking about improving the process and expanding production to provide the needs of the experiment. Now they are forged and connected with gun barrels made by Da Nei, one is to save trouble and catch up with progress; the other is that the barrels made by Da Nei are indeed good. Although there is a gap from the ideal steel bars, it is enough to verify cement now. Therefore, they have been forging and connecting "rebars" with gun barrels. But they are definitely not really necessary to use "gun barrels" to build the human world. Seeing that the emperor wants to take out this kind of thing to show off, Sun Yuanhua naturally has to take out his original foundation.
"Just understand. The Rentan Monument is actually a very huge project. It took several years to promote cement. It is naturally impossible to wait until the Rentan Monument is built before publicity. Therefore, with some progress, we must naturally promote it as soon as possible... If the cement transaction can be done, I can recover some capital. Otherwise, I will not lose money after investing so much money to build the Rentan... The economic account cannot be ignored!" Yang Jingxiong said with a smile.
"Your Majesty said very well, I understand." Sun Yuanhua immediately had no doubts when he saw the emperor talking about money. Thinking of how he spent the emperor's money so happily, Sun Yuanhua felt ashamed. The emperor supported him, and it was a big force. Thinking of the massive amount of materials used in the experiment, Sun Yuanhua felt that the emperor was right. If he didn't make some money back, Sun Yuanhua felt that he was so painful that he spent other people's money...
"Just understand, then arrange this show as soon as possible, build a few floors of cement pillars, and then bombard them with cannons. I let those ministers watch it, and then let the dibao brag about it. Isn't this cement popular all over the world immediately? If it is popular all over the world, you can't build a cement factory? Now the technology and formula of this cement factory are all here, and can you escape my hands? Isn't I still making a fortune? If I have good luck, I may not say that I will make money before the Rentan Monument is built, I will make money back..., Your family is 10,000
Don't delay my financial path..." Yang Jing smiled and said in a joke tone that not doing business that loses money is Yang Jing's creed. Although the Rentan Monument seems to consume huge amounts of funds and seems to be working on political achievements, in fact, this is a super project that integrates the entire Ming Dynasty's industrial technology. Through this project, the overall industrial level of the Ming Dynasty can be greatly improved and the Ming Dynasty's industrial technology can be pushed forward by a big step forward. This will be of great benefit to the future start of industrialization.
Yang Jingwei has been looking for super projects that can promote the improvement and integration of industrial standards in the Ming Dynasty, such as lighthouses and construction of Shanghai City. They actually have these meanings, but these also have considerable shortcomings. Although the total amount of the project is not small, the actual improvement of the engineering technology and complexity are far from comparable to the Rentan Monument. For the industry and technology that integrate the entire Ming Dynasty, it is also limited to the help of Yang Jingwei suddenly encountered the worship of living people. Yang Jingwei thought about it by chance.
Through a super project like Rentan Monument, it integrates and promotes the crafts and industrial standards of the entire Ming Dynasty, and improves the crafts and industrial standards of the Ming Dynasty to a higher level. According to the explanation of history books, the Ming Dynasty was on the eve of capitalism, with the prototype of industrialization and its own continuous catalysis. If you take a step back, the Ming Dynasty will definitely leap into the industrial era. The benefits of Rentan Monument are not as simple as shocking foreign races, nor as simple as gathering people to hope, nor as simple as carrying inheritance.
This is somewhat like the Manhattan Project or the Apollo Project in later generations. Although it is difficult, it consumes a lot of funds and takes a lot of time, and although it involves a wide range, it is even a bit whimsical. It has extraordinary significance for integrating and promoting the progress of the overall scientific level.
Yang Jing believed that this was his "Apollo Project". The Ming Dynasty was in the predawn of industrialization. After experiencing the advancement of the "Apollo Project", he would definitely welcome the dawn of industrialization and embark on the road of industrialization.
"...I understand!..." Sun Yuanhua felt more than a sweat. The emperor's words were too joking. What does it mean to not delay the emperor's business, what does not block the emperor's wealth? Will that emperor say such things to others? At the same time, his heart was warm. The emperor was able to joke with him so easily, which also showed that his relationship with the emperor was not ordinary. At the same time, he also had some understanding in his heart that he was good at doing technology, engineering, and facts. If he was an official, he was not a little worse than those of the elites than his calculating ability. Fortunately, he was following the emperor.
Sun Yuanhua left.
Yang Jing was also planning to see that his "Apollo Plan" had the driving role. The steel bars and cement needed to build the People's Hall monument were definitely a large number. I won't mention the demand for steel bars and cement. This is inevitable. By the way, it also drives electrical technology. The lightning rod also involves a lot of electrical knowledge. Although Zhang Xianyong is not a good person, he will never dare to be lazy. He can still find information and group summary. He will give him some tips and tricks to make him, the "saint" more stable. I believe he will be happy to do it.
Yang Jie felt that Zhang Xianyong's place can be regarded as a "black technology", far less serious than Sun Yuanhua's place with various foundations and experience support.
Yang Jingi imagined that he would just forget it. Black technology is just black technology. This gunpowder was not made by Taoism. It was already a veil of mystery and mystery. It was easy to understand if you had something strange.
In addition to these two points, the rest is that the construction has a very strong driving effect. With the hot discussion of the Rentan Monument, the relevant building materials and construction methods will definitely be hotly hyped to the point where everyone knows it. This steel and cement is destined to be popular throughout the Ming Dynasty. When Yang Jing was thinking that the entire Ming Dynasty was filled with countless steel and cement buildings like mushrooms after a rain, he was proud.
As he thought about it, Yang Jing thought of a few words: Real estate develops the country. When he thought of relying on real estate develops the country, Yang Jing's face turned black halfway, which was really a bit dark and humorous. This is not a good thing in later generations.
But when I think about it, I feel that it is true that I am indeed real estate to prosper the country. The construction method of steel and cement is now definitely a high-tech existence, and it is definitely something that leads the world's technological level. In later generations, real estate-related engineering and construction technology are not very close to high technology. The "real estate to prosper the country" is incomparable to the "real estate to prosper the country" in later generations.
...
With the emperor as his support and the entire Ming Dynasty as his backing, Sun Yuanhua's experiments can be said to have made rapid progress.
With any progress and any experience being summarized, new experiments can be conducted immediately and at no cost to verify ideas and collect data. They are far from comparable to the support of individuals and a certain family. The so-called power of the country can only make people know what terror is when this is the time.
The continuous consumption of materials used to support the experiment will definitely make ordinary people feel desperate. Of course, Sun Yuanhua, the host of the experiment, felt aching pain himself. Spending other people's money to make him feel pain, which is definitely not a little money.
today.
Sun Yuanhua's expression was a little nervous. Over the past few days, he could be said to have been thinking about steel and cement day and night, and had experimented with several batches of cement columns. Today is a relatively critical moment. The emperor asked him to arrange a display meeting for steel and cement, and he was ready.
Sun Yuanhua's experimental site had already moved out of the imperial city. Only when he arrived near Xishan did there be a wider place to conduct more experiments and cannons were available for him to use. After all, the imperial city was not a construction site, and it was even more impossible for Sun Yuanhua to use cannons to smash those cement pillars.
After several batches of experiments, Sun Yuanhua has gradually mastered the key points of building steel and cement columns, such as which kind of cement to use, how many auxiliary materials to use, such as construction steps, such as binding and casting of steel bars, etc. This time, Sun Yuanhua connected several steel and cement columns together to form a "frame", just like the three-story steel frame that the emperor showed him that day. This is exactly what is used to show off today.
Sun Yuanhua was quite nervous. He had already done an experiment of cannon smashing cement columns, and the effect was quite good. This was the first time Sun Yuanhua had built a building with steel and concrete columns to withstand the shelling of the Red Cannons.
"Sir, everything is ready..." Sun Yuanhua had already gotten better, but he was reluctant to walk out of the room. Today's day is really important. Sun Yuanhua was afraid that the steel and concrete building he built would make a mistake, so he hesitated not to go out. Because he had not gone out for a long time, the students outside came in to urge him.
"Oh...Okay, by the way, the observation platform for all the adults is ready? Is there an adult here?" Sun Yuanhua asked. This time, the emperor asked some ministers to come to observe the experiment scene, and he had the idea of clearing the name of steel and cement. If he was sure that this steel and cement could withstand the bombardment of red cannons, then there would be basically no suspense to build a human altar. He would not block the emperor's wealth... Thinking of himself blocking the emperor's wealth, Sun Yuanhua was in a state of vain...
"Report to the adults, the observation platform has been built and sunshade has been done. The bag will definitely not be covered by all the adults, but there is nothing we can do if it is hot... Two adults have already arrived. I guess the other adults will gradually come here..." Sun Yuanhua's student said happily, showing his ability in front of the world. No matter who he is, he will always be a little proud.
"Oh, I got it..." Sun Yuanhua said.
