Chapter 2156, a lot of new talents

Another winter.

Accompanied by the howling cold wind, the goose-feather-like snow covered the earth in white snow in a blink of an eye. The first year of Zhengde is coming to an end. For the young and old in Beijing and Tianjin, this year is another harvest year.

In the temporary office building of the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Ming Dynasty, professors, engineers, scientists, researchers, etc. from the major new universities, research institutions, factories, and research laboratories of major commercial firms in the Ming Dynasty gathered together, and it was extremely lively.

Everyone is constantly discussing, discussing the list of candidates for the first batch of academicians of the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Ming Dynasty.

Da Tianzi attaches great importance to the development of science and technology, and attaches great importance to scientific and technological talents. Not only did he set up the Academy of Sciences, but he also spent 1000 million taels of silver as rewards, and also gave scientific researchers a higher status and status.

This is undoubtedly a great encouragement and motivation for everyone.

According to the "Ming Royal Academy of Sciences Academician Selection System and Progress Award Selection System" issued by the Emperor of Heaven and the imperial court, everyone needs to select the relevant list at the beginning of December and submit it to the imperial court for review. to finalize.

This is the first time that the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Ming Dynasty conducts the selection of academicians, and it is also the first time that the Ming Dynasty selects the Science and Technology Progress Award. Not only people in the scientific community pay great attention to this matter, but the entire Ming Dynasty is also paying attention to this matter.

"Everyone!"

"This is the first time our Royal Academy of Sciences of the Ming Dynasty selects academicians, and it is also the first time to select the Science and Technology Progress Award."

"The emperor and the imperial court attach great importance to and trust our new learning, and have delegated all relevant authority to our hands."

"The entire Ming Dynasty is paying close attention to our selection situation, especially those old school people are staring at us, waiting to see our jokes."

"So I think we should be cautious when we make recommendations and nominations. Only those that can be achieved, have huge influence and create new achievements can be eligible for nomination recommendations and nominations."

"We must be cautious and cautious, and we must not let others see our newly learned jokes."

Ren Siheng looked at the many scientific masters in front of him and said slowly.

Ren Siheng was conferred the title of earl by Emperor Hongzhi many years ago because of his outstanding contributions in the fields of steam trains, internal combustion engines, and machinery. He is considered one of the representative figures in the field of science in the Ming Dynasty.

This time Liu Jin also asked Ren Siheng to take charge of this work. At first, Ren Sihenghai was reluctant because he felt that his contribution was not that great and he was not qualified.

But in the end Liu Jin convinced him and let him cooperate with the principals and famous professors of Daming Royal Institute of Technology, Daming Imperial Institute of Technology, Daming Medical College, Daming Royal Medical College, Daming Engineering College, Daming Mechanical Engineering, Daming College of Chemistry, etc. Let's preside over this work together.

In Liu Jin's words, new learners should be true gentlemen, as long as the emperor and the court need it, they should be obliged to stand up, instead of imitating those sour and rotten scholars who hold the pipa and half cover their faces. Please only four times are coy, reluctant and hypocritical.

"Principal Ren is right!"

"Although our new school has a large number of talents and various achievements and breakthroughs, there are only [-] academicians a year, and there are only three progress awards, so everyone should be cautious when recommending nominations. "

Xia Peiliang, the principal of Daming Royal Institute of Technology, also followed suit.

"This is the emperor's trust and encouragement to us. We must choose someone who really convinces everyone."

Wei Nanping followed suit.

"Everyone can start recommending and nominating now. For each recommendation and nomination, everyone can express their own opinions and opinions."

Ren Siheng nodded, thought for a while and said, "I'll be the first to recommend and nominate."

"I nominate Zhang Xingjian. Zhang Xingjian discovered penicillin, created a new field of medicine—the field of antibiotics, and the penicillin he discovered has miraculous effects on pneumonia, tetanus, viral influenza, etc., which greatly improved my medical science in Ming Dynasty. level, increasing the average life expectancy of my Ming Dynasty by at least 20 years.”

"I think Zhang Xingjian deserves to be selected as an academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Ming Dynasty, and he can also win the Science and Technology Progress Award!"

Following Ren Siheng's words, everyone looked at Zhang Xingjian who was sitting in the phalanx of Daming Medical College.

Zhang Xingjian, who is of Ming and European mixed race, is tall, fair-skinned, with three-dimensional facial features and blue eyes. At this moment, he looks very shy.

After all, he is actually only in his early 20s, and he is still very young.

"I, I'm too small, it's not suitable?"

Zhang Xingjian said very shyly.

"Ha ha!"

Seeing Zhang Xingjian's appearance, everyone couldn't help laughing, even Zhang Xingjian's grandfather Zhang Zhiguogang also laughed.

Zhang Zhigang is already very old. He has practiced medicine all his life. Although he dare not say how much he has saved, he has taught many students and made a lot of contributions to the development of Ming Dynasty's medicine.

But the thing that really made Zhang Zhigang happy was his grandson Zhang Xingjian. He was very promising. He discovered penicillin and got a title and iron job for his Zhang family. At the same time, he also had a gold mine of penicillin. The Zhang family made money by relying on penicillin. earned a lot.

Now Zhang Xingjian is definitely going to be selected as an academician, and he may also be able to win the Science and Technology Progress Award, which is undoubtedly a great honor for the Zhang family.

"Haha, there is no priority in learning, and the master is the teacher. It is very remarkable to be able to make outstanding contributions at a young age."

Ren Siheng said with a smile.

"Zhang Xingjian deserves it!"

"It's really remarkable. Penicillin has made a lot of contributions in the medical field, and Zhang Xingjian is fully qualified."

"Yes, Zhang Xingjian must be selected."

Others also nodded in agreement, Zhang Xingjian's contribution in the field of penicillin is absolutely sufficient.

"That Xingjian card counts as one!"

Ren Siheng made a final decision on the first candidate.

"I recommend Gao Lu who discovered the law of universal gravitation!"

"The universal gravitation discovered by Gao Lu laid the foundation of physics and made a huge breakthrough in the field of cosmic astronomy. We were able to calculate the masses of celestial bodies such as the earth, the sun, and the moon."

Lai Ji, the principal of Daming Imperial Institute of Technology, stood up and nominated him.

Hearing Lai Ji's words, everyone looked at Gao Lu in unison. Although Gao Lu's discovery and breakthrough are not practical, they are only breakthroughs in the field of theoretical foundation.

But the status of universal gravitation is absolutely beyond doubt. It is a basic theory in the field of physics, and it also has a huge breakthrough and influence on cosmic astronomy.

Influenced by the law of universal gravitation discovered by Gao Lu, Daming also achieved rapid development and progress in the fields of physics and cosmic astronomy.

"I also think I'm too young."

When Gao Lu heard that he was recommended to nominate himself, he also smiled and said.

Like Zhang Xingjian, he is still very young, and is currently a professor at the Imperial Institute of Technology of Ming Dynasty.

The Daming Imperial Institute of Technology and the Daming Royal Institute of Technology are the twin stars of the Daming Institute of Science and Technology, and they are neck and neck.

"Haha, don't be humble, I also think you are fully qualified."

Ren Siheng said with a smile.

"I also think Gao Lu is fully qualified."

"Well, indeed, the effect of universal gravitation is too great, which laid the foundation of our current physics."

Others followed suit and expressed their agreement.

"I propose Lu Qing who invented the internal combustion engine. The emergence of the internal combustion engine is of epoch-making significance. We have more powerful power and have manufactured cars, opening a new era of power!"

Soon, someone nominated Lu Qing, who invented the internal combustion engine.

"Lu Qing is indeed qualified to be selected as an academician. The internal combustion engine is very important."

"The internal combustion engine is more powerful than the steam engine. It is a major breakthrough in the field of power and transportation, and it is fully qualified!"

"I propose Professor Wei Nanping in the field of electromagnetism. Professor Wei Nanping has made outstanding contributions in the field of electromagnetism and created many fields of electromagnetism. In particular, he proposed the theory of high-voltage power transmission and invented the transformer. He is completely qualified. of."

"No, no, I don't have any outstanding contributions in the field of electromagnetism. If there is someone in the field of electromagnetism who can be selected, it is also Zhu Shou who made telegraphs and discovered electromagnetic phenomena!"

"Zhu Shou is indeed qualified to be selected as an academician, because Zhu Shou discovered the phenomenon of electromagnetic interaction, and also led and studied the telegraph. The invention of the telegraph has completely changed the way and speed of information transmission, even if it is a long distance, with the telegraph information can be delivered quickly.”

"Is Zhu Shou here?"

"Zhu Shou didn't seem to come, and others are more mysterious."

"In addition to the field of electromagnetism, Zhu Shou has also made outstanding contributions in the field of mechanics."

"Zhu Shou counts as one, he is indeed qualified."

When Ren Siheng heard everyone's words, he wiped the sweat from his forehead slightly. There are not many people who know Zhu Shou's true identity, and he is one of them. This Zhu Shou is actually the current emperor.

"I nominate Professor Li Song from the Beijing Institute of Engineering as the chief engineer for the construction of the Changcheng Railway. We can build railways in the most difficult southwestern region."

"No, no, how can I, Li Song He De, dare not take the credit, this is all the contribution of the whole team, absolutely not, this is absolutely not!"

When Professor Li Song heard this, he immediately shook his head.

"I propose President Ren Siheng. President Ren has made outstanding contributions in the field of machinery. He has participated in many major projects in the field of machinery, such as cultivators, harvesters, and trains, and has made outstanding contributions. He is fully qualified!"

"No, no, I can't get on the stage."

"Principal Ren is humble, humble!"
