Chapter 406 Royal Academy of Sciences

"Of course it's no problem. I called you here because of this. This new school also needs the cooperation of the Ministry of Industry to build it." Wang Lang said in a deep voice.

Mu Feng nodded and said: "If Your Majesty has any orders, I will fully cooperate."

Wang Lang smiled and said: "I don't need you to do anything else, what you need to do is to be outstanding, this academy does not need those who are too treacherous, it is best to be able to calm down and work hard to study technology. "

Mu Feng twirled his beard and thought for a while, "I have a few candidates!"

"Oh! Talk about it!"

Mu Feng cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Zhou Fengfeng, who is in charge of the construction department, and Wu Feng and Li Xing, who are in charge of the firearms department, are all good candidates."

Wang Lang nodded and said: "The three people you mentioned are indeed good. That Zhou Fengfeng is the No.3 in the first exam, right? He has been very low-key in the past few years, and there is no news about him at all."

Mu Feng smiled and said: "Your Majesty's memory is correct. This week, Feng Yu has no interest in being promoted. Since he became an official and entered the Ministry of Industry, he has been concentrating on researching new equipment. Xia Guo has made a lot of equipment in the past few years. Part of it was improved by him, but he kept a low profile, and few people except the officials of the Ministry of Industry knew his contribution."

Wang Lang frowned, "Why don't you recommend such a talented person?"

Mu Feng said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I have communicated with Zhou Yuyu about this matter, but this week Yuyu refused. He thinks that if the official becomes bigger, there will be more troublesome things. What he wants to do is to study Those machines."

Wang Lang smiled and said, "What a Zhou Fengyu, I never thought there would be such a person among my officials in Daxia."

"Your Majesty, what do you plan to do with him?" Mu Feng said worriedly.

"Disposal? Why do people like this have to dispose of him, but I want to use this guy again. After you go back, tell him that he will come to the palace to see me tomorrow." Wang Lang said in a deep voice.

Mu Feng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I obey the order!"

"It's nothing. After I have researched what I said in a few days, your Ministry of Industry will see if you can make it."

Mu Feng nodded and said: "The minister is leaving."

After Mu Feng left, he went back to the Ministry of Industry, found Zhou Fengyu, and told him about Wang Lang's meeting with him.

When Zhou Yufeng got the news, he was very surprised. He didn't know what Wang Lang was doing when he saw him suddenly, so he asked Mu Feng, but Mu Feng just told him that it was a good thing. I can't figure it out.

The next day, Zhou Yuyu came to the palace full of doubts in his official uniform.

After being informed by the guards, he walked into the most magnificent building complex in Xia Kingdom.

"My lord, Zhou Dongyu, the head of the Construction Department of the Ministry of Industry, has seen His Majesty!" Zhou Fengyu paid homage.

"Zhou Aiqing sit down!" Wang Lang said with his right hand empty.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wang Lang looked at Zhou Yufeng. The most obvious thing about this person was the scar on his face, which made him look a bit hideous. Ignoring this point, this young man was quite upright, and his official career inside made him look It seemed much calmer.

"Zhou Aiqing, do you know the purpose of meeting you today?" Wang Lang said.

Zhou Fengyu cupped his hands and said: "I don't know, please ask Your Majesty to clarify."

"I plan to form a new academy!" Wang Lang said in a deep voice.

"School Palace? Your Majesty, this should be a matter for the Ministry of Rites. The minister is only in charge of the Ministry of Industry, so he shouldn't be in charge of this matter!" Zhou Fengyu asked with some doubts.

"Don't worry, Zhou Aiqing. This new school is different from today's. It is dedicated to the research of new technologies, whether useful or useless. The purpose of this school is to explore the mysteries of the world, so that We really understand this world." Wang Lang said excitedly.

I found that although the theoretical research of natural science will not be of any practical use for a long time, as the so-called ten years of cultivating trees and one hundred years of educating people, laying a good foundation here can make sufficient accumulation for future generations. When the theory is transformed into When it comes to actual productivity, it will be a technological explosion. He doesn't know whether the human beings in this world can reach the level of another. Hundreds of years surpass thousands of years of accumulation.

There is no problem with human intelligence in this world. He is very sure of this. If he is a native of this world, then his IQ is not as good as the best of these people. He can only barely rely on the knowledge of another world. outperform them.

He believes that after two or three generations, scholars among human beings will definitely surpass him in natural science. He only knows some superficial theories, and most of them know what is happening without knowing why. It is a bit demeaning of these two titles.

Zhou Fengfeng was shocked by Wang Lang's imagining. This idea coincided with his own. A school that only does research, he fantasized about what kind of scene it should be.

A group of like-minded people gathered together, discussed the mysteries of the world, and solved puzzles one after another. Thinking of it, he was a little excited, and his back was already wet with sweat due to excitement.

"Your Majesty, is what you said true?" Zhou Yufeng swallowed.

Wang Lang nodded and said: "Of course it is true, I plan to name this academy the Royal Academy of Sciences of Great Xia!"

"Great Xia Royal Academy of Sciences?" Zhou Yufeng read this somewhat awkward name.

"The so-called science is the truth that is completely proved by knowledge and experiments under the premise of rationality and objectivity. It speaks with facts and uses practical experimental methods as the basis. It allows us to obtain the mysteries of the world, such as why the moon Around the earth, why can't the river flow backwards, why can't people fly to the sky, where all things come from and go, all these mysteries, we use facts to prove, rather than push all these to the gods." Wang Lang explained road.

Listening to one funny and unbelievable question after another, Zhou Fengfeng listened very seriously. He didn't think these questions were ridiculous. Instead, he began to think about why these things are so common in life. Now that he thinks about it, it's so miraculous. .

"Yeah, why are these?" Zhou Yuyu muttered to himself.

Wang Lang smiled and said: "Don't think about it so much now, go to the library when you have time, there are some conjectures on these issues in the books of the nature series, to prove whether these conjectures are true, this is the royal family. It may take several generations, dozens of generations to understand these issues."

Zhou Yufeng asked: "Your Majesty, what can that minister do?"

"I want you to be the first president of the Royal Academy of Sciences!"

As soon as Wang Lang finished speaking, Zhou Dongyu stood up from his chair and looked at Wang Lang in disbelief.

"Your Majesty...that's impossible. What kind of ability does this minister have for such an important official position?"

"Zhou Aiqing is too modest. With your ability, you are the most suitable candidate for this dean." Wang Lang said in a deep voice.

"This...the minister...the minister..." Zhou Fengyu said with a very tangled face.

Wang Lang waved his hand and said, "What? Zhou Aiqing only thinks about her own affairs, doesn't she want to do her duty for Da Xia and mankind?"

With such a big hat off, Zhou Yuyu was taken aback, and quickly said: "I don't think so, but I don't think I'm capable enough to take up this official position."

The corner of Wang Lang's mouth twitched and he said, "I said if you can do it, you have to do it, and if you can't do it, you have to do it. You can go back and prepare. The new body and official uniform will be delivered to your home after a while."

Zhou Yufeng smiled bitterly and said, "Minister, obey the order."

Seeing this, Wang Lang nodded and said: "That's right, nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart, the hard work of our generation is to live a better life in the future."

Zhou Yuyu nodded and said, "Thank you for your instruction, Your Majesty."

"Okay, you go back and prepare! The Academy of Sciences will start construction in too long, and the Academy of Sciences will temporarily set aside a place from the Daxia Academy Palace. You people should work there first!"

Zhou Fengfeng said: "Everything is according to His Majesty's arrangement, I will take my leave first."

Wang Lang nodded, indicating that he could leave.

Zhou Fengyu left the palace in disbelief. When he got home, he still couldn't believe that what happened today was true.

In the palace, Wang Lang went to the vegetable garden and picked a cucumber, rubbed it on his body twice, took a bite, and squinted his eyes while sitting on the recliner.

Accompanied by the palace maid, Fan Xing came over, sat beside Wang Lang, and said, "Your Majesty, why are you so idle today?"

Wang Lang glanced at Fan Xing, closed his eyes again, and said slowly: "This is not something you, a woman, can understand."

Fan Xing frowned, feeling a little unhappy, and said: "Your Majesty, I have followed you for so many years, and I know a lot, why do you still treat me as an ignorant woman?"

Wang Lang sat up and looked at Fan Xing and said, "Tell me, what are you looking for here? Did Wang Lan cause trouble?"

"Your Majesty, Lan is ten years old this year, is it time to consider finding a home for her?" Fan Xing asked.

"Looking at your appearance, you must be right in your heart!" Wang Lang's mouth twitched.

"This... is indeed suitable." Fan Xing said with some hesitation.

"Who!"

"It's Jian Ya's eldest son!" Fan Xing said.

"It turned out to be this kid. Isn't he serving in the north now?" Wang Lang asked.

Fan Xing nodded and said: "Gang Dao is also the [-]th Chinese New Year. He has just returned to Yancheng after a few days off, and he has reached the age of starting a family. Moreover, we have watched this child grow up, and we all know how he is. Blue Marrying him shouldn't hurt you."

Wang Lang thought for a while and said: "If you have time, let Jian Ya bring this kid here for me to have a look, and let Lan also have a look. If the two of you have no objections, then the marriage is settled. Lan is still young, and after fourteen years Just get married, a woman has to marry, you can arrange this!"

When Fan Xing heard the words, he was overjoyed and said, "Your Majesty, have you agreed?"

Wang Lang nodded and said, "Yes, I agree."

"Then I'll go to Red Fish to talk about it now." After Fanxing finished speaking, he got up and left.

Wang Lang glanced at Fan Xing's back and shook his head. Although he is the king of a country, these family matters are unavoidable.

In history, the royal family has no family affection. Wang Lang is a person who values ​​affection. He does not want any unpleasant things to happen to his children. He is also a father. Although he is very strict with his children, in his heart he is very kind to his children Cherished.

If according to modern people's point of view, Wang Lan is only ten years old this year and is about to marry, someone will definitely expose her flesh and suffer moral condemnation.

But this is a barbaric era, and the role of women is to maintain social stability and strengthen the human race. Talking about equality between men and women is simply rusty.

Although Wang Lan is his daughter, she is also a woman. A woman will marry sooner or later, and his throne will not be passed on to a woman. As long as she lives happily, he will be content.

As for whether Wang Lanxi likes Lin Jianya's son, this is not the point. In his subconscious mind, love is simply impossible to exist in this country that has just been established for about 20 years.

Needless to say ordinary people, even he and Fanxing, or the other two concubines, don't have any relationship basis, don't they live the same way, every family in Daxia is like this, and his daughter is no exception.

The old feudal patriarch Wang Lang put this matter behind him, closed his eyes and began to think about the principle of the microscope.

Compared with the telescope, the optical principle of the microscope is much more complicated, and he has no confidence in whether it can be made.

The number of times he has seen microscopes can be counted on the fingers. When he was in school, microscopes were valuable items. Several classmates shared one. It was obviously unrealistic to disassemble and observe. It was definitely a big challenge to make a microscope.

But no matter what difficulties there are, microscopes must be made. Although Xia Guo has made great progress in medical development in the past few years, deaths caused by various diseases have occurred from time to time.

Penicillin is not a panacea, and only by vigorously studying microbiology can the extremely high fatality rate be reduced.

To say that the biggest disadvantage of human beings compared to the dinosaurs who are around is the lack of population.

Over the past ten years, the Xia Kingdom has encouraged the people to have more children, but the survival rate of newborns is very unsatisfactory. If the population wants to grow explosively, it is impossible without reliable medical means.

The people near Yancheng are alright, and they have the best medical conditions in the Xia Kingdom. The medical level in other places is extremely low. In some backward areas, they can only rely on primitive wizards to treat the people. If cheap and reliable medicines cannot be developed, The rapid development of the human population cannot be guaranteed.

According to the size of the mainland of China, he conservatively estimated that a population of at least 1000 million would be needed to completely control the continent.

And this process will take at least ten or twenty years, but Wang Lang can't wait any longer. Xiaguo has vast land and high-yield crops. It is no problem for a family to raise six or seven children in the fields. Because of this reason, before he died, he could not see the day when the mainland of China was full of human beings, and he felt that he would die with regret.
