Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 551 Chapter 564: Scientific research and military development go hand in hand

For five days, Li Hao lived and ate in the office and never went home. Finally, he finished grading all the test papers. In fact, the test papers this time are not difficult. People can answer it, but these are recruits who have never fought a war. The test is just a test of their mental agility. It will pass, but if the answer is lifeless and sticks to the rules, then it can only be eliminated. What Li Hao needs is talents, talents with innovative spirit.

Among the 120 test papers, only 85 people met Li Hao's requirements. This elimination rate is comparable to the imperial examination. Li Hao checked the test papers again. Among them, 16 people were illiterate, and among these illiterate people, [-] One, accounting for nearly half, and the answer sheets of these forty young people made Li Hao very satisfied. Among them, there was one person who made Li Hao very happy, because this person was a famous general in history, but now he is still young. Only [-] years old, his name is Wang Xiaojie.

Wang Xiaojie was a famous general during Wu Zetian's period, and possessed high military talent. It was a surprise that he was recruited just after the opening of Tiance Mansion this time.

Li Hao immediately began to formulate learning courses for these 120 people. 85 illiterates were gathered together and were classified as Tianzi No. 35 class, and the remaining 25 people were classified as Dizi No. [-] class. Words and mathematics courses start, two classes a day, each class is one hour, that is, half an hour, for a period of one year, and a new course will be added after six months, the theory of military art, on the fifth and fifteenth day of each month, [-] classes start.

As for Class [-], they will start the Art of War theory class directly, and Li Hao will teach the class in person. If he is not free, he will ask Li Ji or other famous people to take the class. This is the key to cultivating talents, so don't delay.

Whether it is the first class of the day or the first class of the ground, their training will continue as usual. Not only that, the training intensity will be increased, and later it will be increased to the difficulty of special forces. It will last for two years. The students in the class are assessed, and if they perform too poorly, they will be kicked out of the elite class.

Soon, the various plans formulated by Li Hao began to be implemented smoothly. The courses of the two elite classes began, and the training intensity of the personnel of the two elite classes also increased, and a new quagmire training was added. A new training is added every month.

Although Wang Xiaojie is a famous general in history, Li Hao didn't give him special care, and he didn't even pay attention to him deliberately. Wang Xiaojie may be a talent. Since he is a talent, he will always stand out. If he doesn't have that ability, Li Zhi can only say Sorry.

After 20 days, these recruits gradually began to adapt to the high-intensity training set by Li Hao. The training was very arduous. They had to train for at least six hours a day. There was also a time limit for eating and bathing, which was only 2 minutes (Li Hao installed a clock in the barracks) , and popularized the time calculation method of the future world to them), they always feel that they are racing against time.

In fact, they don't know that the training of the two elite classes is much harder than theirs. Not to mention the training intensity, let's talk about the time for eating and bathing, one minute for eating and one minute for bathing.

Although the training was tough, Li Hao did not treat them badly. The quality of the food was good. Not only was he full, but he also had meat almost every day. After the night training, there would be extra meals. This could be said to be a very big temptation for this group of recruits. Well, most of them are from poor peasants, and they are used to farm work. In ancient times, farm work was very tiring. They could suffer, but they couldn't go hungry.

Tiance Mansion was finally on the right track, and Li Hao hadn't been home for a long time. He took time to go home, went back to the mansion to have dinner with his wife and children, and then took a bath and had a good sleep. When he woke up, he just walked out of the room When he opened the door, he saw Cheng Qingyun standing outside the door respectfully waiting.

Seeing Li Hao coming out, Cheng Qingyun hurriedly saluted: "Meet the teacher."

Seeing this, Li Hao asked in surprise, "Hey, why are you here?"

Since the construction of the summer resort in Lantian, Li Hao rebuilt the school next to the summer resort. Now the students and all the people in the scientific research room have moved there. Cheng Chuliang is a scientific lunatic. In order to do scientific research, he lives in the scientific research room all year round. I haven't been home for two years, and he came here specially to see me this time, so there must be something wrong.

"Teacher, didn't you mention the generator, I made it." Cheng Qingyun suppressed his excitement, but it didn't seem to work, his face was full of smiles.

"Really!" Li Hao was not very surprised when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked, "Where are you?"

"It's in the research room of the school." Cheng Qingyun said, "That thing... can't be moved."

"Let's go and have a look together." Li Hao hurriedly dragged Cheng Qingyun out, calling people to prepare the horse while running.

Li Hao and Cheng Qingyun rushed all the way to Shanghe Village, Lantian, and built a school across the river to the south of the summer resort. The school is not small, because now the school has more than 800 students and more than 30 teachers. Over 4000 students have graduated over the years.

Li Hao and Cheng Qingyun came to the physics research room. There were four researchers doing research work in the research room. Li Hao saw a guy playing with a big machine at first sight. He was shocked and felt that this machine was not simple. He asked, and Cheng Qingyun explained: "I and others have been studying the steam engine you mentioned for the past two years. Although it is roughly formed, it has not yet been completed, so I did not report to you."

"Okay, very good, well done, keep working hard!" Li Hao was very excited. He came to see the generator, but he didn't expect to see the steam engine. Although the steam engine has not been completed yet, Li Hao believes that this It's just a matter of time, the steam engine, something of epoch-making significance, an invention even greater than the generator.

According to Li Haoqiang's excitement, Cheng Qingyun and other researchers brought Li Hao to the middle of the scientific research room, and saw a huge pillar standing on the ground. The pillar was as tall as a person, and it was all made of steel. The shape was very complicated. Li Hao was surprised Q: "Is this the generator?"

"Yes." Cheng Qingyun nodded, and gave other researchers a look, and the other researchers hurriedly started wiring.

In this day and age, there is no rubber, their wires are all bare wires, luckily, all the wires are pulled straight, do not touch anything else, there is not much danger, the wires are connected to a huge Bulb, this light bulb is also developed by them, it uses tungsten wire, but the tungsten wire is a bit thick, and requires a large current to light up. In fact, in this era, the biggest difficulty of the light bulb is not the filament, but the pumping. There is no air in the light bulb, the most primitive light bulb is a vacuum, and later filled with argon gas in the light bulb, argon gas is relatively stable, incombustible, and does not support combustion, so the pressure inside the light bulb can be close to that of air, so Not easy to burst.

Cheng Qingyun's scientific research laboratory has already researched various things beyond this era. They have the ability to pump out the air in the bulb, but... when the air is pumped, the bulb is easy to break, so the bulbs here are very precious.

After connecting the wires, Cheng Qingyun introduced: "Teacher, when you built the school, you asked the school to cross this river and said that this river is of great use. I didn't understand it at first, but now I finally understand it. My generator , is to use the water of this river as power, but it took a lot of work to build this dam, and I just need to open the sluice later, and the water flow will drive the generator, and the generator will start running to generate electricity, which can light up this light bulb."

"Please start your performance." Li Hao spread his hands with a smile. He was really looking forward to it. Although the generator is a bit small and rudimentary, it is just a prototype. As long as the generator is successful, the subsequent improvement work will be simple.

"Yes!" Cheng Qingyun said loudly, "Open the water gate!"

The two scientific researchers immediately started to push the winch, and then heard the sound of whirring from the generator. The noise was quite loud. There was no way to do it. The current technology is not perfect enough, so noise is inevitable.

With the opening of the water gate, the generator turned faster and faster, and the huge light bulb became brighter and brighter. The filament glowed from slightly red at the beginning to blazing and dazzling at the end, like a small sun, and the temperature of the whole room It seems to have risen, there is no way, this bulb is too big, the filament is thick, the power is naturally high, and it is precisely because of the thick filament that it can withstand the strong current provided by a generator, but Li Hao can feel that this The bulb is overloaded, and the filament probably won't last long.

Sure enough, within a few minutes, the light bulb suddenly emitted a strong light, then dimmed instantly, and the filament blew. Everyone's eyes were used to the high-brightness light, and suddenly there was no light. Even if there was some sunlight in the room, they still felt Darkness.

"Okay, it really succeeded." Li Hao said with a smile, "And it's still AC, Cheng Qingyun, you really didn't disappoint the teacher."

"It's all well cultivated by the teacher." Cheng Qingyun saluted excitedly. To him, the compliments of 10 people are not as useful as Li Hao's compliment.

"Next, you need to find a way to improve this generator and increase its power. At the same time, research on power storage will also be carried out. Power storage technology is not so easy. You must use all the knowledge you have learned. If you have If you don’t understand something, go directly to Chang’an and ask me.”

"is teacher."

Li Hao continued: "This wire, bare wire is too dangerous. I know there is something called rubber, which is a very soft insulator that can be used to wrap wires. I will order people to build a rubber factory in Liuqiu. And the wire drawing factory, which produces rubber-wrapped wires, and then specially transports them to you for research. If you can also successfully research the steam engine, I will invest in the construction of a small steam engine power plant. , will be the first place in the world to use electricity!"

"Thank you, my lord!" Cheng Qingyun looked at Li Hao excitedly. He could almost imagine that after a few years, the whole school would be brightly lit even at night. What a beautiful picture it was.

Li Hao turned his head to look at the steam engine, and also fell into reverie with a smile on his face. The appearance of steam engine and electricity has changed the world the most. These will be the two deepest footprints of technological progress. It is these two things. , During the industrial revolution, European countries advanced by leaps and bounds, surpassing China by decades, and only later did China have a tragic history.

However, now that Li Hao is here, history will be rewritten. As long as the steam engine can be successfully manufactured, Datang will enter the era of the Industrial Revolution 1000 years ahead of history. The already powerful Datang will undoubtedly become the hegemon of the world.
