Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 651 Dahan National University
Starting with the world map is easy to understand and the entry point is very intuitive.

Afterwards, Xing Daorong finished talking about world geography and began to teach other subjects.

The next day, when everyone came to the hall again, they saw Xing Daorong taking out a new toy.

In front of Xing Daorong was a specially made copper kettle with a copper tube connected to the spout and an exquisite wooden wheel at the end of the tube.

Zhuge Liang sat in the main seat, his eyes sparkling; Jiang Wan and Fei Yi sat on both sides, their expressions focused.

"Everyone, please look." Xing Daorong said as he lit the charcoal fire under the copper kettle. The water in the kettle gradually boiled and steam gushed out along the copper pipe.

The wooden wheel began to turn slowly, faster and faster.

"What kind of magic is this?" Jiang Wan's eyes widened and the bamboo slips in his hand almost fell to the ground.

Zhuge Liang stood up and walked quickly to the wooden wheel. His fingers gently touched the rotating wooden wheel, feeling the magical power: "Zi Yu, why can this thing rotate by itself?"

"This is the power of steam," Xing Daorong explained. "When water boils, it turns into steam. When the steam rises, it generates power. If you can use this power well, you can push a thousand pounds and travel a thousand miles a day."

Fei Yi thought: "If we use this force to push the cart, wouldn't it save the effort of oxen and horses?"

"That's right." Xing Daorong nodded, "Not only that, this power can also be used in textiles, smelting, and even thousands of industries."

Zhuge Liang's eyes became deep: "Zi Yu, is there a limit to this power?"

"Prime Minister, please understand." Xing Daorong took a copper pot and let it fall. "Please look, everyone, why does this pot keep falling down?"

Everyone looked at each other.

What's there to ask?

Isn't that the way of heaven?

But since Xing Daorong asked, it couldn't be a random question.

Zhuge Liang pondered and said, "This is the natural law of heaven."

"This force is called gravity." Xing Daorong took out another magnet and brought it close to the copper pot on the ground. The copper pot actually rose slowly. "And this force is called magnetism."

In fact, magnets have existed as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty.

In ancient times, magnet was called "Ci Stone", which means "stone of kindness" because it can attract iron objects.

There are also records about magnets in the documents from the Three Kingdoms period, indicating that people at that time had already recognized the iron-attracting properties of magnets.

But understanding and application are two completely different concepts.

To put it bluntly, you have not yet realized the core key of strength.

Jiang Wan took a deep breath and said, "There is such a mysterious power between heaven and earth!"

Xing Daorong continued, "Gravity makes everything return to the ground, and magnetism makes things attract and repel each other. If you can understand the mystery, you may be able to fly into the sky and hide in the ground, and you can do anything."

Zhuge Liang's hands trembled slightly as he realized that this knowledge would completely change the world they knew.

He turned around and bowed deeply to Xing Daorong: "What you have taught me today is truly a theory that will open up the world. I beg Daorong to continue teaching so that all the people of our great Han Dynasty can benefit from this."

Xing Daorong returned the greeting: "Your Excellency, I am very honored. I am willing to teach you everything I know, and I only hope that this knowledge can benefit the world."

The candlelight in the hall flickered, illuminating the thoughtful faces of everyone.

The roar of the steam engine, the sound of a copper kettle falling to the ground, and the sight of magnets attracting each other all planted the seeds of science in their hearts.

These seeds will take root, sprout, and bloom into flowers that change the times in the years to come.

However, nature still needs guidance.

And Xing Daorong is naturally their wise teacher.

Zhuge Liang knew that this lesson could not be learned in a short time, so after today's teaching, he came up with a new proposal.

…After class that day, Zhuge Liang stroked his long beard, his eyes deep, and said slowly: "Zi Yu...Now the world is in chaos, the people are in hardship, and we urgently need wise men to govern the country and maintain peace."

"The knowledge you are passing on today cannot be learned overnight."

"I have been thinking for a long time and want to set up a school to teach military tactics, strategy, statecraft, and science, so as to cultivate talents from all over the world to help our Han Dynasty. What do you think, General?"

This is a good idea.

If we want to pass on these thousands of years of knowledge in an orderly manner, we can't just set up a makeshift team.

Xing Daorong heard this, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes, and he nodded and said: "Prime Minister has a far-sighted vision, this plan is very good."

"However, the matter of learning is related to the foundation of the country. If we allow private institutions to be established by the people, there may be a mixture of good and bad people. In my opinion, this academy should be supervised by the court and strictly regulated to ensure the purity of the knowledge and use it for the country."

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Zi Yu is right. Learning is indeed something that should not be taken lightly."

"In this case, the imperial court will supervise the establishment of the 'Great Han National Academy' to teach military tactics, strategy, statecraft, and science."

As he spoke, he looked at Xing Daorong with a burning gaze: "General, you are both virtuous and talented. You can be the first dean of the academy. What do you think?"

Be the principal?
Xing Daorong felt that it was inappropriate.

But he said: "I have been in Fusang for a long time, I am afraid I can't take on this task."

Zhuge Liang said, "This is a good opportunity. The general has been here for a month or two. We can ask for your advice on some of the things we don't understand."

"As for the daily routine, we will naturally have to study on our own."

Since Zhuge Liang had said this, Xing Daorong had no choice but to agree.

Therefore, the Great Han National Academy was officially established under the supervision of the court, and Xing Daorong became the first president.

The first batch of students included Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan, Fei Yi, Lu Ji, Cui Yan, Chang Lin, Xun Ya, Xi Zhen, Bu Zhi and so on.

At first they were a little confused about this national academy, but after taking a class on world geography, they became completely addicted.

A whole new world!
New knowledge!
They immediately got involved!

In the academy, students study military strategies day and night, and explore ways to govern the country and scientific methods.

For a time, the academic atmosphere flourished in Chang'an City and many talented people emerged.

Xing Daorong worked diligently and taught the students personally, teaching them to be loyal to the emperor, patriotic, wise and brave.

The knowledge gained after two thousand years finally began to spread from this moment...

...

In the workshop of the Great Han National College.

After many days of intensive research, Xun Ya finally completed his masterpiece - an exquisite steam water wheel.

The copper gears slowly turn under the push of steam, making a low humming sound, and water is continuously pumped to higher places, with an efficiency far exceeding that of traditional water wheels.

There was a gleam of excitement in Xun Ya's eyes, and he couldn't wait to show this achievement to Dean Xing Daorong.

He walked quickly through the corridors of the academy, holding the design drawings tightly in his hands, his heart full of excitement.

When he pushed open the door of Daorong's study, Xun Ya's face was still slightly flushed, and he was breathing heavily: "Dean! It's done! The steam waterwheel is done!"

Xing Daorong was marking students' homework at his desk. When he heard this, he looked up and saw that Xun Ya looked excited. He was also stunned when he heard what he said.

I am!

So fast?
The era of punk men is not about to come!
