Continue to go forward, Zhu Cixuan pointed to the area ahead: "Then is the Materials Research Area, which is a research area for the Ming Dynasty to study various new materials. This area is relatively large, including a steel alloy area, a petrochemical area, a coal chemical area, and a salt chemical area.

Don’t go there easily. Of course, the more dangerous experiments are outside the capital, and most of them are conducted with safer experiments. This safety is relative, so don’t try it easily.”

Zhu Jirun nodded: "I am also very caring about my life! I am waiting for enjoyment of great time, but I don't want it to be gone so early."

Going further to Qian, Zhu Cilang pointed to the front: "There are three major colleges of basic science, the School of Physics, the School of Chemistry and the School of Mathematics."

The other two Zhu Jirun can understand, but why does the Royal Academy of Sciences have a mathematics school? Is mathematics also science?

Zhu Jirun asked curiously: "Mathematics? Does mathematics also need to be studied by the Academy of Sciences?"

Zhu Cilang laughed: "When they are studying one plus one, the mathematics they study is very profound. Everything has its own rules, and everything can be calculated using mathematics.

Mathematics can be said to be the basis of all sciences. Without mathematics, physics and chemistry, how to determine measurement and design machines, as small as a nail to a battleship, everything is inseparable from mathematics.”

Zhu Jirun said, "This is really amazing, I have seen it."

Zhu Cixuan looked at this huge Academy of Sciences: "Now one-third of college students who graduate from the Ming Dynasty every year join the laboratories of the Royal Academy of Sciences. In the future, with the popularity of university education, this proportion will decrease, but the total number of people here will not decrease.

Huangming Trading invests huge amounts of money to enter the Royal Academy of Sciences every year, and the Royal Academy of Sciences also returns the Royal Academy of Sciences to the Royal Academy of Sciences every year, which is a benign mutually beneficial relationship.”

Zhu Jirun couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, are there thousands of people here?"

Zhu Cixuan thought for a while: "That's probably more than that. There were more than 30,000 people here in the first half of the year. This summer, a group of fresh graduates were absorbed, and the number of people here should be less than 35,000."

Zhu Jirun showed a thoughtful expression: "I am thinking that there are so many people in Huangming Business that are constantly researching, so new achievements should come out every day, right?

So have these achievements used? Can they be used?”

Zhu Cilang laughed: "You don't have to worry about this. Every achievement of the Royal Academy of Sciences will be evaluated. If it is used by Huangming Business Name, it will be handed over to Huangming Business Name.

If you think that Huangming Business is not available, you will trade it for each chamber of commerce, and then you can exchange the corresponding shares from each chamber of commerce, which is also an important source of funding for the Royal Academy of Sciences.”

Zhu Jirun shook his head: "I think this is far from enough. Please give me the research results of the Royal Academy of Sciences to me for operation, and there is also the right to mobilize some of the research forces of the Academy of Sciences."

Zhu Jirun's words made Zhu Cixuan silent. Although the Royal Academy of Sciences has been relying on the Huangming Business Name, the two have no subordinate relationship. In fact, strictly speaking, the Royal Academy of Sciences is still in the same level with Zhu Jirun.

Because Zhu Ciyang was personally responsible for the personnel appointments of the Royal Academy of Sciences, it was just that because the Royal Academy of Sciences had always had a low presence in the Ming Dynasty, because Zhu Ciyang directly took over others and did not know about it, it gave people the illusion that he was part of the royal property.

Giving some of the rights of the Royal Academy of Sciences to Zhu Jirun is equivalent to expanding Zhu Jirun's rights and also expanding the rights of the Huangming Business Company, which is inconsistent with Zhu Ciyang's original wishes.

After pondering for a while, Zhu Cixuan asked directly: "You should first talk about what you want to do with these rights. I am considering whether to let you care about these things."

Zhu Jirun was not shy either: "My initial plan is to re-determine the value of Huangming Store's previous technology, and if the seller has a contract, there will be no need to discuss the recovery.

However, there are many technologies that are exclusively available to Huangming Business. These technologies can be sold in a wave. This can make money and promote the technological progress of the people, which is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty and His Majesty.

The second is that I think that since the Royal Academy of Sciences has so many scientists, it is a bit wasteful to consume all of them on these long-term projects. These long-term projects need to be done, but you can do something else in your spare time.

There are many private workshops and businesses who want to do scientific research but do not have this technology or the conditions and personnel. The Royal Academy of Sciences has the technology, conditions and personnel, but there are not so many projects that need research.

If the Royal Academy of Sciences can help these private workshops conduct some research in the form of a fee, then this will be beneficial to the utilization of the Royal Academy of Sciences' talent resources and the technological progress of these private firms.

This will make it easier for the Royal Academy of Sciences to find the direction of research. After all, what the people need and what the Ming Dynasty urgently needs can only be clear if you are close to the people. I see that many of these research projects are powerful, but they are a little bit unfavorable to the people."

Zhu Cixuan pondered for a while: "What you said makes sense, let this be true. I'll let the president of the Royal Academy of Sciences cooperate with you and do this together. You are better at commercial matters. He is more confident in scientific research. If you do things together, ask me if you have anything that cannot be decided."

Zhu Jirun bowed happily: "Thank you, by the way, there is another thing. Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty steam engine has developed to the fifth generation. Can we sell previous generations of steam engine manufacturing technology to private workshops?

Although technology has been improving, the previous generation of steam engines is not without its market. If these technologies can be sold and more steam engine manufacturing companies can be cultivated, will the industrial development of the Ming Dynasty be accelerated again?"

Zhu Cilang was a little unable to adapt, so why did he sell things again? Zhu Jirun didn't do much else when he came up, and this thing was really sold.

In fact, Zhu Cixuan has always planned to cultivate a group of steam engine manufacturing companies, but this thing is so profitable that Zhu Cixuan has always been reluctant to throw it away. Not to mention the fourth-generation steam engine, even the third-generation steam engine can still make money.

Of course, the third generation is no longer the third generation, but the improved third generation, adaptively modified third generation. In later generations, it is the third generation plus model.

Now Zhu Jirun is going to sell it without hesitation. Zhu Cixuan is a little reluctant: "These machines are not outdated, right? Why should they be sold? Can't Huangming Store be produced?"

Zhu Jirun explained: "Your Majesty, although these make money, the fifth generation is even more profitable. Because Huangming Steam Engine Workshop has many old production lines like this, its own asset load is large, and its enthusiasm for launching new equipment and new processes is not high.

Moreover, too many workers are engaged in these low-end machine manufacturing and various improvements, so the various improvements of the Five-generation steam engines of the Ming Dynasty cannot be released, and there is no man-made one."
