I am Da Song

Chapter 621
Reverse engineering itself is an extreme test of the country's organizational capabilities and social vitality.

Taking pictures of cats and tigers is also a talent in itself.

It can be said that the law of nature itself is a kind of imitation of cats and tigers.

If the current research of the Taiyuan Academy can integrate the coal-fired steam engine and the sailboat, the steam-powered ships of the Song Dynasty may take shape immediately.

In history, steam ships appeared more than ten years earlier than steam trains.

As long as the scientific theory is reversed, the complete ship of the Song Dynasty will follow the steam train.

The maritime trade in the Song Dynasty was developed, and only in terms of trade scale, it could account for half of the trade.

It doesn't seem like much, just equal to the trade on the road.

But in fact the gap is huge. Eighty percent of maritime trade is dominated by distant sea trade, which is to harvest wealth from outside the region.

The Silk Road only accounted for [-]% of the land trade, the remaining [-]% was the sum of the ancient tea-horse road, trade with neighboring countries, etc., and the remaining [-]% of the trade volume was generated within the Song Dynasty.

At present, the Song Dynasty has the most prosperous commercial trade and broad market in the world.

But internal trade is the circulation of wealth among different classes, and foreign trade is the harvest of wealth from all over the world.

Therefore, the steamship technology combined with sail and steam engine of the Taiyuan Academy is of extraordinary significance to the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Huan decided to pay attention to the theoretical basis of Song Dynasty, and asked curiously: "Is the Ximen question solved?"

Su Dai nodded, and said: "Last year Xu Yue, a treasure-level mathematics professor at the Taiyuan College, made a systematic and comprehensive explanation, proposing that force means weight. For the first time, weight is regarded as a force, and gravity is related to gravity. It is also proposed that force is the reason why shape is vigorous, that is, force is the reason for the accelerated motion of objects.”

Zhao Huan's joy almost overflowed his face. Isn't this the oriental interpretation of classical mechanics?
"Has the bonus been sent to him?"

When it comes to academics, Su Dai is very serious, saying: "Not yet. Ximen's question, every year, a large number of scholars will explain it. The Taiyuan Academy will carefully evaluate his expositions, and so will Professor Xu. The professors of the Taiyuan Academy are checking his Given the data, test whether his formula is accurate."

Zhao Huan asked: "Professor Xu's result is 9.8?"

"9.8?" Su Dai shook her head and said, "It's far from this number."

Zhao Huan was slightly lost, but quickly realized.

9.8 is the unit of the law of universal gravitation, which means that a kilogram of objects receives a gravitational force of 9.8 in one second.

The weight and time unit of Da Song are different from what Zhao Huan knew.

First of all, the time unit of the Song Dynasty is the decimal system, that is, there are ten small quarters in a quarter of an hour, and there are ten grams below a quarter.There are still ten moments under one gram.

A moment is approximately equal to 0.9 seconds.

More importantly, the latitude of Tokyo is very different from that of England, and this gravity figure should be very different.

So Zhao Huan quickly lost his disappointment, smiled on his face, and said: "Very well, the Taiyuan Academy must seriously verify Professor Xu's data. I believe that you Qing and others, there are millions of scholars in the world, and they will definitely get it." To my unique truth."

These millions of scholars are Zhao Huan's greatest confidence!

The Song Dynasty has been in peace for decades, and has accumulated batch after batch of outstanding talents every year.

Their persistent investment in research has produced enough computing power and academic progress to reach decades in the West.

According to conservative estimates, there are more than 71 million literate people in Songru, with an education rate of [-]%.

Although there are still close to 30% illiterates, this ratio is not very good. Compared with those industrial powers with literacy rates of more than 85% or even 90%, or more than 95%, there is a significant gap.

But you need to know where the population base of the Song Dynasty is. Even with a literacy rate of 70.00%, the number of literacy far exceeds that of other countries.

And among the 71% literate people, even if only 2% are engaged in research and fumbled for patents, it is still a huge scale of 150 million.

This number is simply incomparable to the few hundred or thousands of scholars in a Western country.

Their one-year research results are piled up there, which is equivalent to the sum of decades of research results of countless Western countries.

Although the vast majority of scientific research is meaningless, there is nothing like it in ancient and modern China and abroad.

As long as one-thousandth or even one-ten-thousandth of it is real gold, it is enough to push civilization forward by leaps and bounds.

This is the case most of the time for scientific research, relying on unparalleled financial and human resources to invest in it, and then the entire technological level advances by leaps and bounds.

Therefore, when ordinary people examine whether the entire civilization is technologically advanced, they don't need to pay attention to so many details.

It depends on how much research funds a country has invested and how long it lasts.

What kind of reason do you have to doubt that a country has invested the most ancient and modern scientific research funds far exceeding foreign countries, and has continued to promote development for decades, and this country's technology will still be outdated?

The great translation movement of the Arabs immediately brought Arabia into a golden age.

Da Song’s decades of hard-working academic development has also pushed his own civilization into an obvious fast lane.

When Xu Yue first came into contact with this problem, he was still famous for being a young evildoer, a treasure of the whole country in the Song Dynasty, and a 20-year-old math genius.

And now he is almost forty.It is indeed time for results.

Zhao Huan smiled and said to Su Dai: "If the Taiyuan Academy verifies that Professor Xu's data is accurate, please remember to tell me, and I will personally present awards to him, award him honors, and preside over his marquis ceremony."

Zhao Huan very much hoped that such a scene would appear. When other countries still worship gods, true gods, Buddhas, Brahmans, peacock kings, shikigami and other religious figures as the greatest people, they are the most respected in the Song Dynasty. The greatest man is already an accomplished scholar.

Countless people in the Song Dynasty respected the masters of science and respected scholars who were not born in the world, and they did not worship ghosts and gods.

With just this kind of ethos, one can imagine how big the gap between the two civilizations will be in terms of development speed and open spirit.

Su Dai said seriously: "I've made a note. If the Taiyuan Academy has passed the review, the official will be notified as soon as possible."

After Zhao Huan had finished chatting with his business, Su Dai came over and asked, "Guan, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"what's up?"

"Fan Sizhong and Luwena's eldest son are going to be crowned. This is the most solemn ceremony I have for the people. In the past, your government affairs were messy, and I went to her child's first birthday and week. Can you come with me this time?" go?"

"The children of both of them will be crowned?" Zhao Huan asked in surprise

He was very sure of one thing, it was the first year of Jianye when he met Fan Sizhong and Su Dai.I plan to go to see the new atmosphere in Tokyo.These two guys are getting married with a son!
