Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 895 The Beginning of the Industrial Revolution

He just thought Qi Ziqi's hobbies were strange.Don’t such a little kid like storybooks? Books like "Physics" are esoteric and difficult to understand, even scholars like them who have been studying for more than ten years will have a headache. How can children over three years old be interested in this kind of book?

"Because I wrote that book together with my mother when I was still in my mother's womb, so I like that book very much." Qi Ziqi said very proudly, "Besides this book, there is also " Chemistry too."

The reason is naturally more than that.Rather, he found what was written on it very interesting.For example, two balls fall to the ground at the same time, or different liquids can change color when they are poured together.Father and mother said that those two books were telling the truth, so now those two books are more attractive to him than storybooks.

Zhang Hongwen was stunned by the meaning of his words.

Zhang Hongwen understood Qi Ziqi's phrase "Mother said it in the book" earlier as "Mother said it in the book on the shelf", and didn't take it to heart.But now, after hearing Qi Ziqi's words, he opened his mouth to look at Du Jinning, and asked, "So you wrote "Physics" and "Chemistry"?"

Du Jinning smiled and said, "It's just a summary of the previous theories of anthropophysics. I don't dare to take credit for it."

Zhang Hongwen's "Physics" and "Chemistry" can get "excellent", because he is really interested in this aspect of knowledge.These two books opened a door for him. After studying these two books, he also searched for many previous theories in this area, but finally found that the previous theories were often taken for granted, or I only know that two substances will react together, but I don't know why they will react.The same goes for knowledge of physics.

Du Jinning's two books have fundamentally solved this problem, letting them know what it is and why.

At that time, they were very emotional, and felt that the people who wrote these two books really didn't know what kind of genius they were, and how they knew so much.

Now it is discovered that these two books were written by Du Jinning, and Zhang Hongwen feels even more mysterious.

Is this still the Du Jinning he knew before?In the past, Du Jinning only had a better memory and was a little smarter than others, but he was not smart enough to be completely different from them.But now, in just a few short years, is Du Jinning so smart?Not only has high-yielding rice been grown, but two miraculous books have also been written.

Is this place in Beijing really so awesome?If a person lives here for a few years, can he be reborn and leave the realm of mortals?
At this time, Zhang Hongwen's desire to live in the capital became more and more urgent.

If Qi Muyuan knew what Zhang Hongwen was thinking at this time, he would definitely tell him that you think too much.

At this time, Qiuhe came in and stood at the door to salute.

Du Jinning knew that she had an urgent business report, otherwise she would not have come here knowing that there were guests here.

"What's the matter?" she asked.

"Master Xu from the Ministry of Industry has come and is waiting in the small hall in front. He said that they have improved the place pointed out by the princess, and the bicycle is much easier to use now. He asked the princess when she would have time to go and have a look. "

"I have a guest here. Tell him, I'll go and have a look when I have time." Du Jinning said.

Zhang Hongwen couldn't sit still when he heard that Du Jinning rejected it was an official from the Ministry of Industry, and also mentioned some improved bicycles.

He stood up: "Princess, son-in-law, if you have something to do, do it first. Since I came to the capital to take the exam, I will stay here for a long time. There will be more opportunities to meet in the future. You don't have to delay business because of me."

While he was speaking, Qi Ziqi had already moved to his mother's side, and at this moment, he stretched out his chubby hand and gently tugged at Du Jinning's clothes.

Du Jinning knew that he was interested in bicycles. One time when she went to guide him, he followed her once, and he remembered this thing very much.

She didn't refuse, she stood up and said, "That's fine, we're just friends, so I won't be polite to you." Then she asked, "Where do you live?"

"Gui Provincial Guild Hall." Zhang Hongwen said.

Now that the words have been said, it is logical that he should leave next.But Zhang Hongwen hesitated to speak.

Qi Ziqi was in a hurry to look at the bicycle, and couldn't help interjecting when he saw this, "Uncle Zhang, what else do you need?"

"Brother Qi, it's rude." Du Jinning lowered his head and stared at him.

Qi Ziqi blinked his eyes innocently.

Zhang Hongwen said embarrassingly: "I, I just want to ask, can I go to see that bicycle with you?" He quickly added, "But it's inconvenient to think about it, so let's forget it." He saluted Du Jinning, " Then I'll take my leave first." Arching his hands, he planned to go out.

"It's not inconvenient, let's go together." Du Jinning smiled.

Zhang Hongwen stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at Du Jinning with surprise: "Is it really possible?"

Du Jinning nodded, then turned to look at Qi Muyuan: "Are you free?"

Qi Muyuan nodded, and said warmly, "Let's go together." He took Qi Ziqi's hand and walked out together.

When I arrived at the Ministry of Industry, I saw a group of people standing in the yard, watching a young official pedaling a tricycle around the open space.

Seeing Du Jinning and his party come in, everyone immediately greeted her and Qi Muyuan and saluted: "Princess, son-in-law." They also saluted Qi Ziqi's little friend, "Little Prince, I'm polite."

Qi Ziqi bowed back solemnly: "It's a pleasure to meet you." Everyone couldn't help but want to tease him.

The official who was pedaling in the yard also quickly stopped the car.

Seeing that the officials of the Ministry of Industry respected Du Jinning from the bottom of their hearts, as soon as she came in, Zhang Hongwen was shocked even more than knowing that "Physics" and "Chemistry" were written by Du Jinning.

Du Jinning introduced Zhang Hongwen to everyone, and then asked the official riding a bicycle: "How do you feel?"

"It's much easier to ride than before." The official looked at Du Jinning with admiration, "If it weren't for the princess, we wouldn't be able to make this bike at all."

"Yes, yes." Everyone echoed.

"I will use my words, this car can be built, it all depends on you." Du Jinning laughed.

She spoke from the bottom of her heart.

It turned out that she really didn't want to modify the car.Because clover rubber is still in the Amazon at this moment, it has not been discovered and mined, let alone spread to China.The current iron-smelting technology is also very poor, and it is very difficult to add a spring to the car.

This is the gap between raw materials and technology, and the difference is not even a star. It would take too much effort to transform it.

But Song Dynasty’s finances were getting richer day by day. After seeing the steam power she created, Zhao Wei strongly supported her innovation. She simply presided over several projects and dispatched some officials to start the industrial revolution.

Steel is the foundation of all machinery.Du Jinning knew that steel is an alloy composed of iron, carbon, silicon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur and a small amount of other elements.Therefore, the blacksmiths and officials of the Ministry of Industry were asked to use these kinds of ores to test repeatedly. After one and a half years, steel was finally smelted.

With steel, springs can be made.Du Jinning came up with the idea of ​​improving the car.

She sent people to Lueyang County in the Qinling Mountains to look for eucommia trees. After finding them, they planted them in large quantities locally, and extracted eucommia gum from the existing eucommia trees, and asked the officials to make an elastic body that can be used for car tires through repeated experiments.

Install steel bearings and steel wires on the wheels of the carriage, and install tires made of Eucommia gum on the wheels. The carriage immediately changed its guns, making it many times more comfortable than before.

Du Jinning actually dislikes carriages such as horse-drawn carts and ox carts. She misses the clean and tidy streets of modern times without horse or cow dung.

Anyway, there are steel materials, so she simply formed a project team to develop bicycles.The current tricycle is the result developed by the team.
