Chapter 742 "Apollo Project"

Yang Reform had to live in this kind of "darkness" every day, and he really didn't dare to take things lightly, let alone be lazy.

Busy day and night, is not without results.

Yang Reform flipped through the requirements sent today, and immediately said to Wang Chengen: "Big Companion, bring Sun Yuanhua here immediately, I have something to ask him..." Yang Reform has been following up with Sun Yuanhua, seeing that Sun Yuanhua's experiment has progressed to To a certain extent, Yang Reform felt that it was necessary to follow up.

"Your maid obeys the order!" Wang Cheng'en said.

Yang Reform looked at the requirements in his hand again, and thought carefully. The progress of the reinforced concrete is quite fast, and it has reached the point where a frame can be built. That is to say, a concrete building with a "frame" structure can be tried. .

Sun Yuanhua will arrive soon.

After entering, it was still a black and black soy sauce Sun Yuanhua.

"Minister Sun Yuanhua sees His Majesty!" Sun Yuanhua came here in a hurry, not to mention the sweat all over his body, and there was still a lot of smell, there was no way, who called the experiment so difficult.

"Get up!" Yang Reformed.Looking at Sun Yuanhua, who was so dark, Yang Reform could only sigh. Doing scientific research is really a tiring job.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!" Sun Yuanhua said.

"Brother, bring a chilled watermelon to Sun Qing's family, I feel tired just looking at Sun Qing's family..." Yang Reform said.

"Slave obeys the order!" Wang Chengen agreed, and then directed the little eunuch to offer Sun Yuanhua a piece of iced watermelon.

As soon as the iced watermelon entered the Warm Pavilion, it immediately exuded a refreshing fragrance, which made people salivate involuntarily.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!" Sun Yuanhua felt a little embarrassed. The watermelon was full of juice. It was not good for him to eat it, nor would it be good not to eat it. It would be unsightly if he ate it. Given.

Yang Reform also saw Sun Yuanhua's embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Eat, the Qing family has eaten, and I will talk about things again." Yang Reform said with a smile.

"The minister leads the decree!" Sun Yuanhua had no choice but to bow his head and agree. This thing has been delivered to his hand, and he swallowed several mouthfuls. He must eat it if he doesn't eat it. He lowered his head and put the watermelon as soon as possible. finish eating.As soon as the iced watermelon is in the mouth, a burst of coolness surrounds the whole body immediately. In addition, there are ice cubes in the warm pavilion to cool down.

Yang Reform saw that Sun Yuanhua had eaten the iced watermelon, and then he began to talk about business.

"I heard from Qing's family that the matter of the concrete pillars has already been figured out? Have you tried building the concrete pillars into a frame?" Yang Reform asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the pillars made today are indeed more reliable. I have bombarded them with cannons in private. Except for some cement blocks falling off, the pillars are safe and strong... Even if the cracks are blasted, they are still strong. It is relatively solid, and can still withstand more bombardments from cannons. It is not the same as things made of ordinary bricks and stones... If it is used to build a fortress wall, it will not be afraid of bombardment by cannons. It can be said that it is as solid as gold... "Sun Yuanhua said immediately, needless to say the excitement between words.

"Okay, since the pillars built by Qing's family can be bombarded with cannons, I'm going to arrange a scene for all the ministers to see, so that I can decide on the construction of the human altar with reinforced concrete..." Yang Reform said.Although it is more practical to build a bunker with reinforced concrete, what Yang Reform pays more attention to now is that many aristocratic families want to participate in the business of cement factories. To lay the foundation, what is more important is the role of reinforced concrete in industrial transformation, and we are going to fully promote the popularization of cement.Now that this "reinforced concrete" structure can withstand the bombardment of cannons, it can be put out for a show.

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Sun Yuanhua asked.

"It's nothing, I just want you to see that the things made of reinforced concrete are very strong, so that the building of the Altar of Human Beings can be confirmed with reinforced concrete. Once this matter is confirmed, there is no need to run away from the cement matter. When the cement matter is confirmed, I will let go of my heart, and the Qing family still doesn't understand the truth?" Yang Reform asked with a smile, and now it is said that it is for the ministers to play, why not say It is for those aristocratic families who want to participate in cement trading. The affairs of the altar of people are already very lively, and everyone in the world participates in it. With this excitement, they can publicize the advantages of this reinforced concrete. They can't do it if they are not in a hurry, Yang Reforming oneself has more initiative, and you can't follow yourself in anything.

"But Your Majesty, although this concrete pillar can be made, there are still many unsatisfactory points, such as forging. For example, the steel bar is actually just forged with Ouchi's gun barrel, which is quite different from the real steel bar. , the steel bars, I'm still thinking about how to refine them on a large scale... I'm afraid..." Sun Yuanhua is a technician, and when he heard that the emperor was going to introduce these to the ministers, he was a little ignorant, so he immediately said this The deficiencies in it, for example, the emperor said to use steel and iron frames, but in reality, the so-called steel and iron frames are forged with gun barrels made by Ouchi, which is actually far from the steel and iron frames. gap, in order to actually manufacture that kind of steel bar that is several feet long, he has to wait for him to get the cement thing done before he has time to do that. Now, the gun barrel made by Ouchi is used as a substitute, but In order to verify the feasibility of the cement pillar, there is a big gap from the actual application.

Yang Reform was ashamed for a while, these technical people are basically so "honest", and they will throw out their old background at every turn. This reinforced concrete is indeed forged with a gun barrel made by Ouchi, but it is also "fine iron" , although it is not as strong as real steel bars, but it is not too bad. It is enough to fool outsiders. It is really...

"This... let's not talk about the steel bars for now. Although the barrel made by Ouchi is not good, it is worthy of the word "iron bone here". It's not too bad..." Yang Reform hurriedly said, now It is precisely to take advantage of the hot discussion in the altar of human beings to blow the cement into the sky, which actually has little to do with the real altar of human beings.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand..." Sun Yuanhua said immediately.Through the exhaustive method of steelmaking, Sun Yuanhua can say that he is well aware of the properties of various steels. Through comparison and observation, he has already had an idea of ​​the range of steel bars that should be used in the construction of reinforced concrete buildings. These steel bars are now being arranged for production. , is considering improving the process and expanding production to meet the needs of the experiment. Now the gun barrel made by Ouchi is forged, one is to save trouble and catch up with the progress; second, the barrel made by Ouchi is really good, although it is far from ideal There is a gap in the steel bars, but now it is enough to verify the cement, so the "barrel" has been forged with the gun barrel, but it is by no means really necessary to use the "gun barrel" to build the altar. This substitute thing is shown off, and Sun Yuanhua naturally wants to dig out his old roots.

"It's good to understand that the Monument to the Altar of Humanity is actually a huge project, and it may take several years. It is naturally impossible to wait until the Monument to the Altar of Humanity is completed before publicizing the matter of cement. Therefore, With some progress, it is natural to publicize it as soon as possible... If the cement business can be done, I can recover some of the capital, otherwise, I have invested so much money in repairing the human altar, I am not going to die..., this Even the Qing family can’t count economic accounts!” Yang Reform laughed.

"Your Majesty's words are very true. I understand." When Sun Yuanhua saw the emperor talking about money, he immediately had no doubts. Thinking that he spent the emperor's money so happily, Sun Yuanhua felt ashamed for a while. Thinking of the huge amount of materials used in the experiment, Sun Yuanhua felt that the emperor was right. If he didn’t earn some money back, Sun Yuanhua would feel heartache for himself, and he would feel heartache for spending other people’s money...

"It's good to understand, then arrange this show as soon as possible, build a concrete pillar several stories high, and then try to bombard it with cannons. I will let those ministers go to observe it, and then let the mansion report to brag about it. Isn't it popular all over the world immediately? If it is popular all over the world, you can't build a cement plant? Now that the technology and formula of this cement plant are all here, can it escape from my hands? Can't I make a lot of money? If you are lucky, Maybe, before the monument to the Altar of Humanity is built, I will earn back my money..., the Qing family must not delay my money..." Yang Reform said with a smile in a joking tone , not to do business at a loss, this is Yang Reform's creed.Although the Monument to the Altar of Humanity seems to cost a huge amount of money, it seems to be a political achievement project, but in reality, this is a super project that integrates the entire industrial technology of the Ming Dynasty. Through this project, the overall industrial level of the Ming Dynasty can be greatly improved. It can take a big step forward in the industrial technology level of the Ming Dynasty, which will be of great benefit to the start of industrialization in the future.

Yang Reform has also been looking for such super projects that can promote the improvement and integration of the industrial level of the Ming Dynasty, such as lighthouses, such as the construction of Shanghai City, which actually have these meanings, but these also have considerable shortcomings. Not small, but in reality, the difficulty and complexity of engineering technology, the improvement of the entire process, is far from being comparable to that of the Human Altar Monument, and it is of limited help to integrate the industry and process technology of the entire Ming Dynasty. It is also because Yang Reform suddenly encountered a living person Regarding the matter of offering sacrifices, Yang Reform just happened to think that a super project like the Human Altar Monument could be used to integrate and promote the craftsmanship and industrial standards of the entire Ming Dynasty, and raise the craftsmanship and industrial standards of the Ming Dynasty to a higher level. According to the history books According to the explanation, the Ming Dynasty was already on the eve of capitalism, with the rudiments of industrialization and its own continuous catalysis, if it came to the door again, the Ming Dynasty would definitely be able to leap into the era of industrialization.The benefit of the Altar of Humanity Monument is not as simple as deterring aliens, nor is it as simple as gathering people's popularity, nor is it as simple as carrying inheritance.

This is a bit like the Manhattan Project or the Apollo Project of later generations. Although this kind of super project is difficult, although it consumes a lot of money and time, although it involves a wide range and even has a whimsical meaning, it is important for integration and integration. It is of extraordinary significance to promote the progress of the overall scientific level.

Yang Reform believes that this is his own "Apollo Project". The Ming Dynasty, which was before the dawn of industrialization, has experienced the advancement of this "Apollo Project", and will surely welcome the dawn of industrialization and embark on the road to industrialization.

"...I understand!..." Sun Yuanhua wiped his sweat more than once. The emperor's remarks were really too joking.What do you mean don't delay the emperor's business, what do you mean don't block the emperor's money, the emperor would say such things to people?At the same time, my heart is warm. The emperor can joke with him so easily, which also shows that the relationship between him and the emperor is unusual.At the same time, I also had some understanding in my heart. It is okay to do technology and engineering by myself, and to do facts. When it comes to being an official, I am not as good as 01:30 in calculating ability compared with human beings. Fortunately, I am following the emperor.

Sun Yuanhua left.

Yang Reform was thinking again, his own "Apollo Project" still has some driving effects, the steel and cement needed to build the Altar of Humanity monument must be a large amount, not to mention the demand for steel and cement, this It is inevitable, and by the way, it also brings up electrical technology. The lightning rod also involves a lot of electrical knowledge.Although Zhang Xianyong is not a good person, he never dared to be lazy. He still knows how to find information and make conclusions. I will give him some pointers and give him a few tricks to "pretend to be a ghost" so that he can be a "sage" To do it more steadily, he must be willing to do so.

Yang Reform feels that Zhang Xianyong's work can really be regarded as "black technology", and it is far less serious than Sun Yuanhua's work, which has various foundations and experience support.

Yang Reform thinks about it, and thinks it’s better to forget it. Black technology is black technology. Isn’t this gunpowder made by Taoism?It's already covered with a layer of mystery, so it's easy to understand if you do something weird.

In addition to these two points, the rest is that the driving effect of the building is very large. With the heated discussion of the Altar of Humanity Monument, the related building materials and construction methods will definitely be hyped to the point where no one knows. This reinforced concrete is It is destined to be popular throughout Daming.Thinking that the entire Ming Dynasty is full of countless various reinforced concrete buildings springing up like mushrooms after a spring rain, Yang Reform felt a burst of pride.With the rise of steel, coal, cement and other industries, the transportation must follow suit. How can there be fewer ships on the sea?In fact, the ship has always been a big iron user. How can it run on land without a carriage?This in turn requires steel, which in turn promotes the development of the steel industry, which is also a great boost to the machinery manufacturing industry. With the development of transportation, various industrial products, agricultural products, and raw materials can be gathered and distributed to every corner of Daming more conveniently. The rise has undoubtedly greatly shortened the distance of time and space, and it has a great effect on the transmission of information and the communication between people...

A vibrant Ming Dynasty has gradually appeared in front of Yang Reform.

Thinking about it, Yang Reform thought of a few words: real estate rejuvenates the country.Thinking of relying on real estate to rejuvenate the country, Yang Reform's face darkened halfway. This is really a bit black humorous.This is not a good word in later generations.

But after thinking about it, I realized that I was right. I am indeed a real estate rejuvenator. The reinforced concrete construction method is definitely a high-tech existence, and it is definitely something that leads the world's technological level.In later generations, real estate-related engineering and construction technologies have nothing to do with high technology. The current "rejuvenation of the country through real estate" is not the same as the "rejuvenation of the country through real estate" in later generations.

……

With the emperor as his support and the entire Ming Dynasty as his backing, Sun Yuanhua's experiments can be said to be progressing rapidly.

With any progress and any experience summed up, new experiments can be carried out immediately regardless of cost to verify ideas and collect data, which is far beyond what can be compared with the support of individuals and a certain family. The so-called overwhelming power can only be achieved at this time , so that people know what terror is.

The constant consumption of materials used to support experiments will definitely make ordinary people feel desperate.Of course, Sun Yuanhua, the host of the experiment, felt pain in his heart, and spending other people's money to make himself feel pain in his heart is definitely not a little money.

today.

Sun Yuanhua's expression was a little nervous. These days, he can be said to have been thinking about reinforced concrete day and night, and he has already experimented with several batches of concrete pillars.Today is a more critical moment.The emperor asked him to arrange a steel and concrete show off meeting, and he was ready.

Sun Yuanhua's experiment site has already moved out of the imperial city. It is near Xishan, where there is a more open place for more experiments. It is close to the new army's garrison, and there are cannons for him to use. In the imperial city, after all, it is not In a construction site, it is even more impossible for Sun Yuanhua to smash those concrete pillars with a cannon.

After several batches of experiments, Sun Yuanhua has gradually mastered the key points of building reinforced concrete columns, such as what kind of cement to use, how many auxiliary materials to use, construction steps, such as binding and casting of steel bars, etc.This time, Sun Yuanhua connected several reinforced concrete pillars together to form a "frame", just like the three-story steel frame that the emperor showed him that day. This is exactly what is used for display today. .

Sun Yuanhua was quite disturbed. He had already done an experiment of hitting a concrete pillar with a cannon, and the effect was good. It was the first time for Sun Yuanhua to use a frame made of reinforced concrete pillars to withstand the bombardment of the Hongyi cannon.

"My lord, everything is ready..." Sun Yuanhua had already put on better clothes, but he still dared not go out of the room. Today is a very important day. Sun Yuanhua was afraid that the steel and concrete frame he built would make a mistake. He hesitated and dared not go out.Since he hadn't gone out for a long time, the students outside came in to urge him.

"Oh,...Okay, by the way, are the platforms ready for you adults to observe? Has any adult arrived?" Sun Yuanhua asked. This time, the emperor asked some ministers to come to observe the experiment. The idea of ​​rectifying the name of reinforced concrete, if it is confirmed that the reinforced concrete can withstand the bombardment of Hongyi cannons, then there is basically no suspense in using this to build the Human Altar.He will not be in the way of the emperor's money..., Sun Yuanhua is a bit vain when he thinks that he is in the way of the emperor's money...

"Returning to my lord, the viewing platform has already been set up, and the sunshade is also done. It will definitely not expose you to the sun, but there is nothing to do in the hot weather... Two adults have already come. I guess, Other adults will come gradually..." Sun Yuanhua's student said happily, showing his ability in front of the world, no matter who he is, there will always be a little bit of pride.

"Oh, I see..." Sun Yuanhua asked.
