"Have you heard that the imperial court is about to establish the Royal Academy of Sciences. Lao Zhang, are you going to try it?"

"Royal Academy of Sciences, what is that?"

"I heard that it is similar to the Ministry of Works, but it is different. It is completely above the six ministries and is directly responsible to the emperor."

"Will you see the emperor?"

"Of course, this is a establishment that His Majesty the Emperor recommends. If you can get into the exam, you will definitely be lucky enough to see the beauty of heaven."

"I heard that His Majesty the Emperor had similar ideas after meeting an Europa envoy. Because there is a similar institution in Europa, His Majesty the Emperor also wants to follow his example."

"What does this Royal Academy of Sciences do mainly?

"I heard it is a physical and chemical research."

“Physical and chemical research?”

"Yes, didn't His Majesty the Emperor personally write two books a few years ago? They have been promoted nationwide in official schools. Now, if you want to take the imperial examination, relying solely on classics, history, and collections of Confucian classics are not enough. Physics and chemistry must be well tested. Although it is just a paper talk, it is like a threshold. Only after you step through it can you be qualified to be an official."

"Will everyone who is an official understand this in the future?"

"That's of course, but this is just the first step. After all, officials have studied physics and chemistry, but if you want to join the Royal Academy of Sciences to become an official, you have to choose again. Those who can successfully do things there are the best ones."

"Oh, I'm a little interested when you say this. But we are all this old, and I don't know if the Royal Academy of Sciences is willing to accept it."

"How can you know if you don't try it? I heard that there is no age limit for the recruitment of the Royal Academy of Sciences. You can try it as long as you want. Anyway, you won't suffer any loss if you try it."

"You said that. Anyway, I won't suffer any loss when I try it. I'll sign up now."

In the office of the Ministry of Works, several minor officials chatted with interest.

For them, this is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity.

Although officials and officials are connected together, there is actually a world of difference.

Because officials are responsible for dispatching work, officials are responsible for doing work.

The division of labor between the two is different, and the more important thing is the different social status.

For a long time, officials have been in a state of suppression.

Over time, they will definitely lose their enterprising spirit.

Because no matter how hard or motivated they work, their social status will not change.

Once the ascending channel of a certain type of person is blocked, then this type of person will indeed start to live a life of silence.

But this time the establishment of the Royal Academy of Sciences opened a window for them.

Although this window is not too big, it gives them some hope.

The most important thing is that there are no restrictions on the Royal Academy of Sciences. Whether it is officials or officials, they can register as long as they meet the requirements.

If you can pass the exam, you will undoubtedly complete the transformation of your identity, which is definitely beneficial.

So most of them are willing to give it a try.

After all, the theoretical knowledge of physics and chemistry can be learned by yourself.

The officials have been working in the Ministry of Works for a long time, and are obviously better at hands-on practice than those officials.

To this extent, they even have greater advantages.

If the court was really a fair fight, they would have a considerable chance of successfully joining the Royal Academy of Sciences.

If it really succeeds, it is the carp leaping on the dragon gate.

...

...

The Royal Academy of Sciences received enthusiastic support from the beginning of the registration.

Even the officials in charge of this matter did not expect it.

Although he was a little excited, the energy he spent was too much, which made him exhausted all day.

But this was the will of the emperor after all, and he did not dare to neglect the slightest, and could only make political achievements in a short period of time.

Fortunately, registration is just the beginning, and there are still many things to do next.

His Majesty the Emperor did not require the Royal Academy of Sciences to be made a certain standard from the beginning.

To put it bluntly, they all crossed the river by feeling the stones. It is really hard to say what they can do.

However, if this matter is done properly, Jane Zai Dixin will not run away.

Since then, my life has been so successful, and it is also a shortcut to the career path.

...

...

The more you come into contact, the more you understand your own gap, the more you understand where the direction of your efforts is.

After conducting a trade inspection and negotiation, Eric sighed in his heart.

Before coming to the Ming Dynasty, he always thought that Europe was the center of the world and that European civilization was the representative of world civilization.

But after really coming to the Ming Dynasty, Eric realized how prosperous civilization and history this great empire in the far east had.

Perhaps every cross-section is incomparable to Europe.

Even the ancient Greek and Roman civilizations seemed so insignificant compared to the Ming Dynasty.

So he must return to France in time, tell His Majesty Louis XIV, the supreme king of the sun, that they still have a long way to go,

Cooperation and trade are definitely a win-win situation.

France has a weak foundation, but with the support of the Ming Dynasty, its development will definitely be very rapid.

It is not difficult to catch up with Spain and the Netherlands.

Although Eric lived very comfortably in the Ming Dynasty and did not want to leave this comfort zone, he understood that it would be too unfair to France and His Majesty the King.

So after several large trades were negotiated, Eric decided to return.

In a wise saying, the road is long and arduous, and he still has a long way to go.

I just hope that when he returns to France, everything will be planned.

...

...

After preliminary selection, 500 people have entered the final stage, which is the interview.

The interviewer was the most noble man in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor Zhu Youlang.

Because the Royal Academy of Sciences is a higher education institution that combines theory and practice, Zhu Youlang will also focus on these aspects during the interview.

It's easy to say, but it's not that simple to do.

After Zhu Youlang's interview, only about 100 out of 500 people met his conditions initially.

This is somewhat a frustrating thing.

Originally, Zhu Youlang thought that the scientific genes and cells of the Ming Dynasty were still good, but it was suppressed for a long time due to policy orientation issues.

But now it seems that even if you recover initially, you still need a training process, and these talents cannot emerge like mushrooms after a rain.

Zhu Youlang was indeed a little anxious before.

Fortunately, there are more than 100 seedlings. I believe that as long as I train them carefully, I can still become the first founders of the Royal Academy of Sciences.

When scientists from the Royal Academy of Sciences came to the Ming Dynasty for exchanges, their understanding of natural sciences could also be taken to a higher level.

The future of natural science in the Ming Dynasty is still extremely bright.
