Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 2157, the first batch of academicians of Ming Dynasty

Inside the Study Room of the Minister of Qianqing Palace in Beijing.

It was snowing heavily outside, and the wind was bitterly cold, but inside the Qianqing Palace, it was as warm as spring.

The Qianqing Palace, which was built by Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao at a cost of one million taels of silver, has adopted many advanced technologies, including the overall heating system. When the boiler burns up in winter, the entire Qianqing Palace is very quiet. warm.

"Your Majesty, this is the list of the first batch of academicians of the Academy of Sciences and the list of recommended winners of the Science and Technology Progress Award drawn up by the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Ming Dynasty!"

Liu Jin sent up a list.

After more than ten days of intense discussions, the Daming Royal Academy of Sciences has finally drawn up the list of the first batch of academicians.

A total of [-] names were proposed on the list, and there was also a candidate list of [-] people. In addition to the names, it also introduced in detail their outstanding contributions in related fields.

"Ok!"

Zhu Houzhao looked at it carefully.

"Zhang Xingjian, who discovered penicillin, created a new field of antibiotic medicine. Penicillin has a huge effect on the treatment of pneumonia, tetanus, wound infection, viral cold and other diseases, and directly increased the average life expectancy of Ming Dynasty by 20 years!"

"Gao Lu, the discoverer of universal gravitation, the law of universal gravitation laid the foundation of physics and promoted the development and breakthroughs in the fields of physics and cosmic astronomy."

"Ren Siheng, the principal of Jingcheng School of Mechanical Engineering, has made outstanding contributions in the field of mechanical engineering. He participated in the research of trains and promoted the development and breakthrough of Daming's transportation field."

"Lu Qing invented the internal combustion engine, opened the era of the internal combustion engine, and promoted the development and breakthrough of Daming transportation and power technology, which is of epoch-making significance."

"Well, good, good!"

Zhu Houzhao only nodded while watching.

He himself is engaged in technological research, and he pays close attention to many things in the scientific world. He is also very clear about new technological breakthroughs, and he is also aware of the huge impact and role of these technological breakthroughs.

Whether it is Zhang Xingjian, Gao Lu, Lu Qing, Ren Siheng, they are all people who have made outstanding contributions, and they are all well-deserved to be elected as academicians of the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Ming Dynasty.

Without the participation of these people, the Royal Academy of Ming Dynasty would not have the authority.

"Zhu Shou?"

Soon, Zhu Houzhao saw his name, his eyes widened slightly, and then he smiled happily.

"Zhu Shou, an outstanding contributor in the fields of electromagnetism and mechanical engineering, discovered the phenomenon of electromagnetic interaction, participated in the study of telegraphs, researched generators, invented watches, invented electric lights, and made contributions to the fields of electromagnetism and mechanical engineering. Outstanding contribution!"

"Good, good, well written, well written!"

After reading it, Zhu Houzhao immediately nodded in satisfaction.

Compared with the sense of accomplishment of being an emperor, he prefers the sense of accomplishment in the field of scientific research. Now seeing that the name Zhu Shou he uses can get such a high evaluation and be selected as an academician, Zhu Houzhao is of course full of sense of accomplishment .

"This list is good, let's make it according to this list!"

After carefully reading the list, Zhu Houzhao nodded in satisfaction. The names on this list are basically very familiar, and they are all outstanding people in various fields in the Ming Dynasty's scientific circle.

At the same time, this list also includes many fields. There are Zhang Xingjian and Li Ting in the medical field. Li Ting has also made outstanding contributions in the medical field. He invented an anthelmintic, which can effectively treat parasites in the human body. Insects, the function is similar to that of pagoda sugar in later generations. With this anthelmintic, the premature death rate of children has been greatly reduced, and countless children have been saved.

There are also Gao Lu and Chen Zhinian in the field of scientific theoretical foundations. Gao Lu made contributions in the field of the law of universal gravitation, while Chen Zhinian is a biologist who proposed the theory of biological evolution.

He was originally a medical scientist. With the overseas expansion of Ming Dynasty, a lot of new things appeared, and many medical scientists of Ming Dynasty went to Haiwa to investigate and find new medicinal materials.

Cinchona cream can effectively treat malaria, which had no way to treat it before. This has caused countless Ming medical scientists to go overseas to find various new medicinal materials.

Of course, this is also a trend of huge economic benefits. Whether it is Zhang Xingjian or Li Ting, the penicillin and anthelmintics they discovered have brought them huge benefits.

Daming has strict patent laws for protection in this regard, and at the same time, each of them attaches great importance to confidentiality of their own prescriptions, formulas, etc. All these determine that some new discoveries and breakthroughs in the medical field can bring a lot of benefits.

It also stimulated Ming medical scientists to continuously study new medicine and prescriptions, and go overseas to find various new medicinal materials that can be used as medicine.

Chen Zhinian is one of them. He has traveled to many places, almost all over the world, conducted a lot of research, and left a lot of valuable information.

After returning to Daming, he made a detailed summary, and he proposed the theory of biological evolution, which believed that living beings are constantly evolving and adapting to the environment, gradually mutating and evolving.

Of course, he did not boldly propose that humans evolved from monkeys, but his theory still caused a huge wave in the scientific circles of Ming Dynasty, and countless biologists joined the research in this field.

There are also some outstanding contributors in the field of engineering and construction on the list, such as Professor Li Song who presided over the construction of the Changcheng Railway, and Professor Yi Lunxiong who built the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge.

Analyzing this list as a whole, everyone on the list is an outstanding person in various fields, and has made outstanding contributions to the technological progress of Ming Dynasty and social progress.

At the same time, this list is also jointly recommended and selected by everyone, which has extremely high authority and credibility.

Look at the nomination list for the Science and Technology Progress Award, Zhang Xingjian, Gao Lu, Zhu Shou.

"Ha ha!"

Seeing that Zhu Shou's name was nominated as the winner of the Science and Technology Progress Award, Zhu Houzhao smiled even more happily, and his mouth parted.

Wang Shouren, Zhong Fan, Yang Yun and others were also confused when they saw Zhu Houzhao laughing. Isn't this just a list? As for how to laugh happily?
Only Liu Jin knows the reason why Zhu Houzhao is happy. Zhu Shou is Zhu Houzhao himself. For Zhu Houzhao, sealing the wolf and living in Xuxu is his greatest pursuit, and doing various researches is his greatest hobby. , To be recognized and achieved in this respect is definitely something that makes him very happy.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Liu Jin nodded solemnly after listening.

I couldn't help but complain in my heart.

It's fine to be selected as an academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Ming Dynasty, isn't it too much to be awarded the Science and Technology Progress Award?

After all, you are also the Son of Heaven, so why bother to fight for this spot.

What's more, when the time comes, you will be the emperor and the recipient of the award, so I want to see how you operate.

"Sell the newspaper! Sell the newspaper!"

"The Royal Academy of Ming Dynasty announced the list of the first batch of academicians and the winners of the Science and Technology Progress Award!"

"Sell the newspaper! Sell the newspaper!"

"Zhang Xingjian who discovered penicillin, Gao Lu who proposed the theory of universal gravitation, and Zhu Shou who worked in the field of electromagnetism won the Science and Technology Progress Award, and will share the prize of [-] taels of silver together!"

With the beginning of a new day in the great rivers and rivers of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty Morning Post also published the latest news about the selection of academicians of the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Ming Dynasty and the selection of the Science and Technology Progress Award.

"Tsk tsk, everyone here is talented. It turns out that the person who discovered penicillin is called Zhang Xingjian. He was only in his 20s at the scene. Isn't that too young?"

"Isn't it? And this Gao Lu, what is the law of universal gravitation he proposed? What's the use of it?"

"This law of universal gravitation is said to be the basis of physics, and it is very helpful for the study of astronomy and geography. It always seems to be very powerful."

"I know that penicillin is really useful. Pneumonia, which could not be cured before, can be easily cured now, as well as those viral colds. I don't know how many people have been saved."

"Saving people has indeed saved a lot of people, but the price of penicillin is still too expensive. It would be great if it could be cheaper."

"That's true. This penicillin is indeed expensive, even more expensive than gold. I heard that it is because the production is too small."

"This Zhu Shou is really a formidable inventor. He actually invented many things. The clock, the telegraph, and the electric light were all invented by him."

"Otherwise, why would someone become a winner of the Science and Technology Progress Award!"

"."

With the announcement of the list, the entire Ming Dynasty was constantly discussing this matter.

It is also the first time for many people to know the names of these people, especially for some familiar things, it is the first time that everyone knows who researched them.

Everyone kept admiring the toughness of these great people, and at the same time, many sour and rotten scholars criticized this list, saying that many people on this list were too young.

For example, the three winners of the Science and Technology Progress Award are very young. Zhang Xingjian and Gao Lu are only in their 20s, and Zhu Shou is only in his 30s. They are all too young.

Where are they constantly criticizing this selection for not respecting the seniors enough? It stands to reason that this selection should pay more attention to seniors and let the older generation come first.

There are also people who criticize this Zhang Xingjian. Although the discovery of penicillin can cure many diseases and save countless people, the Zhang family has also made a lot of money by selling penicillin.

The price of penicillin is more expensive than gold. Ordinary people are often reluctant to use this penicillin. The Zhang family is a medical family. They should have the heart to sell penicillin as cheaply as possible, but the Zhang family does not .

These sour and rotten scholars keep attacking this point, so they don't care whether the cost of penicillin is very high, or whether people want to eat, they just need to stare at one point and keep attacking.

They didn't know that it was because the Zhang family made money from penicillin that more people devoted themselves to medical research and improved Ming's medical technology.
