Principal Xu Qinqing invited Su Shu and others to ride bicycles and rush to the laboratory.

Su Shu rode a bicycle and walked side by side with President Xu Qinqing on the road to Huaxia University.

He asked curiously: "Sister Shaoyao, does your Huaxia University only report these two scientific research results?"

Xu Qinqing said proudly: "Your Highness, for ordinary results, we at Huaxia University can solve the problem by providing funds within the school.

The results we report to the Ministry of Science and Technology are all very important, and have achieved phased results. Once developed, they will have a major impact on the empire.

Both of these achievements have the opportunity to sprint for the Dragon Award."

What President Xu Qinqing did not say is that if this kind of scientific research results are to be truly produced, a huge amount of money will be invested.

China can still afford to invest tens of thousands of taels of silver coins in scientific research.

The estimated investment is as high as hundreds of thousands of taels, or even millions of taels, which can only be reported to the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the imperial court will come forward to resolve scientific research funding.

Su Shu nodded, and then asked: "Sister Shaoyao, can you briefly introduce these two projects so that I can have an idea."

This job was the first job Su Shu took after entering the officialdom.

It is still closely related to science, and my father has always focused on scientific research and development.

If this matter is done well, it will be a huge plus point in my father's heart.

If you fail to do this, it will be a huge demerit.

Princes in Su Shu who studied history books and performed well could not obtain the title of crown prince.

Their common characteristic is that they are not similar to the current emperor.

As the supreme emperor, they must want to find a prince who can pass on their ideas.

Qin Shihuang, who believed in legalist governance, would never establish a heir apparent who was deeply influenced by Confucianism. This was the reason why Prince Qin Fusu failed.

The immediate emperor, Tang Taizong Li Shimin, who was determined to destroy the Turks, must depose the prince Li Chengqian who admired barbarian culture.

Su Shu read history books, and he knew his own governance philosophy. He could have his own ideas, but he could never deviate from the general framework of his father's governance.

Paying attention to science, technology and industry has always been my father's unswerving policy philosophy.

When Principal Xu Qinqing heard what Su Shu said, she said with a smile: "Of course, we still have some distance to go to the laboratory.

Sister Shaoyao will introduce these two projects to His Highness.

Professor Song Huaiming of the Department of Chemistry discovered urea. After preliminary research, it was found to be an extremely effective fertilizer.

It can at least double the current yield per mu. If we master the technology of synthesizing urea, it will bring about earth-shaking changes to the empire.

Professor Jiang Qing from the Department of Mechanical Engineering believes that the steam engine has now reached its bottleneck and needs to develop better power machinery.

He has achieved certain results, and new power machinery can eliminate the heavy boilers.

The energy conversion efficiency of steam engines is too low, with most steam engines hovering around ten percent.

The energy conversion efficiency of the new power machinery starts at 25% and is expected to reach over 30% after improvement."

Su Shu's eyes widened after hearing this. He exerted force on his legs and pedaled faster.

Professor Song Huaiming discovered a new fertilizer that can double the grain yield per mu.

This is extremely important to the empire. Only when there is food in hand can the empire be stable.

When he was a child, he had seen the scene of the empire in ruins waiting to be revitalized after the troubled times.

Even though the empire built water conservancy projects and allocated fields to farmers, food supplies were very tight due to climate disasters.

At that time, peasants occasionally starved to death in the empire, and the propaganda slogan was to keep the people fed and clothed.

Providing food and clothing for the people is an extremely difficult goal to achieve, and the empire has been working hard to achieve this.

Gaining a large amount of territory in Nanyang, rice can be harvested three times or even four times a year.

A large amount of cheap food was shipped to the north, so that people would not starve to death in most parts of the empire.

If this project is true, Su Shu will definitely push this project forward as long as there is a chance.

As long as he does this project well and has this merit in hand, his brothers are not a threat at all.

His mother, Queen Wang Wenjun, invented the cowpox vaccine, which saved countless lives.

Many people secretly built temples for their mothers.

Su Shu's current reputation is very good, mainly because of the foundation laid by Queen Wang Wenjun.

His biggest shortcoming is that he has no merit.

If he performs great feats and has the blessing of Queen Wang Wenjun, as long as he can satisfy his father, he will be crowned crown prince.

If Jiang Qing's project has certain results, it will also be a project with great impact.

Su Shu was taught by the best teachers. His academic performance was not top-notch, but he could still understand some of the most cutting-edge theories.

The energy efficiency of machinery far exceeds that of steam engines. If it really appears, it will bring about earth-shaking changes.

The speed of the train will not be just a little faster than the horse-drawn carriage, but will definitely be several times faster than the horse-drawn carriage.

At the same time, the amount of cargo that trains can pull will also increase.

The emergence of trains brought obvious changes to the empire.

The ability of trains to increase speed and promote economic benefits is only slightly lower than that of railways.

Su Shu couldn't wait to urge: "These two projects really shocked me. I really want to see Professor Song Huaiming and Professor Jiang Qing right now."

Principal Xu Qinqing pointed to the red brick buildings in front of her. She smiled and said: "Your Highness's wish will be realized soon. We have arrived at the experimental building."

They parked the car, and Xu Qinqing took Su Shu and his party to the experimental building of the Department of Chemistry.

She specifically explained: "I have notified the experimental building in advance to suspend extremely dangerous experiments.

But you must follow me closely and never enter a strange room.

There are laboratories where new types of gunpowder are researched, and the conditions inside are very dangerous.

The laboratory has safety doors, so we can walk in the safe passage normally without any problems."

Su Shu nodded, he would not joke with his own safety.

He followed Sister Shaoyao to the third floor. As soon as he entered this floor, there was a special smell permeating the surroundings. This smell was very much like the smell of urine.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Principal Xu Qinqing took out several masks from the storage box next to them and handed them to everyone.

"The smell in the laboratory is all kinds of weird. You may not be used to this smell. Wearing a mask with activated carbon can filter out the abnormal smell."

Su Shu and others took them all with them and walked into the laboratory.

He saw a young man in his twenties and seventies wearing a white coat, directing everyone to conduct experiments.

They were cooking something in spherical or cylindrical utensils made of steel.

The unusual smell wafts from these vessels.

An outspoken official sniffed the smell in the laboratory.

He said in surprise: "Aren't you boiling urine?

I worked in a gunpowder workshop when I was young, and I am very familiar with this smell."

The young man in charge of coordinating the work saw the arrival of principal Xu Qinqing and a group of people in official uniforms.

He already knew the identities of these people, so he put down what he was doing and walked over.

After hearing this, he immediately nodded and said, "You are right, we are indeed boiling urine."

When Su Shu heard the confirmation, he immediately felt his stomach churning, as if he could vomit it out.

Xu Qinqing immediately introduced: "This is Professor Song Huaiming, the person in charge of this project."

After introducing Professor Song Huaiming, she introduced the identity of Su Shu to everyone.

Su Shu stepped forward to shake hands with Professor Song Huaiming.

This professor's name is very distinctive, and most people don't dare to name him Huai Ming.

With this name, you will encounter many invisible obstacles whether in official circles or among the people.

Professor Song Huaiming was able to overcome this obstacle and become a professor at Huaxia University. He is indeed capable.

"I have heard of His Highness's reputation for a long time." Professor Song Huaiming took the initiative to shake hands and said respectfully.

His father gave him this special name. If he can no longer play both sides, there will be no peace.

Su Shu looked at the smelly equipment and said, "Professor Song, you don't need to introduce it too deeply, we don't understand the specific situation.

Professor Song's project is to mass-produce this kind of fertilizer.

Professor Song told me how likely this project is to succeed."

Professor Song Huaiming saw that Su Shu spoke very clearly. This should be because Principal Xu Qinqing introduced him to the project in advance.

He glanced at Principal Xu Qinqing gratefully and then introduced: "Our Chinese ancestors have used excrement to fertilize fields since ancient times.

Science must know the reason, and I am responsible for studying the real reason why urine fertilizes the fields.
