Chapter 60: I Can't Hold Newton anymore

Damn, it turned out to be the most famous Newton in the 18th century, a symbolic figure of an era. Chu Yun was a little suffocated, and the legendary big man was actually summoned by the industrial revolution system. And this big man still had to do things under his own hands...

"Mr. Newton, I have long admired my name." Chu Yun held Newton's hand excitedly, "Your calculus has caused a lot of hardship in our future generations."

"Dear sir, it is my honor to be able to pass on the research results to future generations." Newton said respectfully to Chu Yun.

Great scientist Newton and some other Chu Yun may not know which big bulls were called like Newton. Chu Yun temporarily established a Academy of Sciences, with Newton personally taking charge. At present, the main task of the Academy of Sciences is to train a group of local lecturers and scholars.

The Academy of Sciences is divided into five departments: the Department of Mathematics, Department of Physics, Department of Chemistry, Department of Biology, and Department of Astronomy. As for other disciplines, it will not be established for the time being.

"Your Academy of Sciences needs to train a group of private school lecturers with middle school knowledge within one year, and a group of school lecturers with higher knowledge within three years. I wonder if you have the confidence to do it?" Chu Yun asked Newton and others.

"We also need to do research. Will the teaching task be a little more arduous?" asked the group of big bulls.

"Please don't worry, everyone. I will summon some scientists from later generations to come here in the future. I believe you will be eye-opening and will definitely be better than you who work behind closed doors. I believe you all know that the times have limitations, right? You are the smartest people in all scientific fields of your time, but your knowledge is limited by the times you live in. Don't you want to see any earth-shaking changes in the fields you are studying in later generations?" Chu Yun said.

When the big bulls in several fields heard Chu Yun say this, their eyes shining.

"Sir, can charge be stored in stable substances?"

"No problem, there will be batteries, livestock appliances, generators, and lights in the future. Almost everything is inseparable from electricity."

"Sir, how many planets are there in our solar system?"

"It turned out to be the nine planets, but later it became eight planets."

"Sir, will the possibility of the radical solution of higher order algebraic equations be solved in later generations?"

Damn, how did I know! Chu Yun was a little broken. Chu Yun could still answer common sense content. When these big guys really asked about professional things, Chu Yun could only be stunned.

Although the knowledge level of this group of scientists was limited to the 18th century, it was still more than enough to teach the people of the Ming Dynasty and give them the most basic scientific literacy.

A group of Western scientists appeared in the Fu Liao army, but caused quite a stir in the Fu Liao army. Because the Academy of Sciences was established, its status was second only to the Ordnance Bureau, the Agriculture Bureau, the Maritime Bureau and the newly established Bureau of Commerce and Engineering. One hundred literate people from Liaonan were recruited to the Academy of Sciences and became the first group of students. These students will enter the private schools and schools opened after they are finished.

"We will set up fifty new private schools within three months, so that children of appropriate age can go to private schools for education and learn to read first." Chu Yun said, "Each factory will also open training classes to let workers learn to read."

To popularize science education, literacy is a big problem. In the Ming Dynasty, except for taking the imperial examination and being a minor official, almost no one could recognize words. The illiteracy rate was high, and it was not as good as in later generations who started to learn literacy at the age of three or four.

Therefore, literacy must be first necessary before scientific education is carried out.

"Sir, aren't you making a difficult situation? Why did you do a big project for your subordinates just as I left?" Chen Ting saw Chu Yun explaining him a new task, and looked bitter.

"In order to develop better, literacy is a must. We will set up fifty private schools within three months and one hundred within one year. At that time, we will let all children in southern Liaoning go to private schools. In the future, we will set up schools so that those who have received private school education can receive higher-level education." Chu Yun said.

"But sir, it's a war-torn period, and our teachers may not be enough." Chen Ting said sadly, "In the ten miles of the countryside, there may be only one teacher."

"If you don't have enough, just find a way. All those who know how to read come to be teachers. If you don't have enough, you can go to the Later Jin Dynasty to dig people. If you go to the southeast coast, you can give them twice or three times the salary. Are you afraid that you can't dig people?" Chu Yun said.

"Okay..." Chen Ting said helplessly.

"Come on, after this period of time, I will give you a paid vacation." Chu Yun encouraged.

"real?"

"At that time, you and a group of officials go to the Academy of Sciences for further study."

"ah……"

We must vigorously develop industry, and supporting agriculture, commerce, and education must be spared. All aspects have been shattered by Chu Yun's heart. The three guards in southern Liaoning have just captured, and major projects such as the Dalian Port Project and the private school project are in full swing.

A few days later, in the distant Tianjin Guard, several large ships were moored beside the dock, and more than a hundred soldiers were on the dock. Today they were going to follow a big figure from the court to Jinzhou, the territory of Chu Yun, the deputy general of Dongjiang Town.

This team started waiting since the sky turned pale, but it was not necessarily a big shot from the court until the sun was noon.

"Master Qianhu, do you think Eunuch Liu has overslept? We received the order to wait here at 3 o'clock. Now it's already past noon. Eunuch Liu hasn't come yet, and our brothers are hungry." A soldier in the team complained to Qianhu, who led the team.

"Stop talking nonsense, the court wants us to wait here, we are waiting here." Qianhu, the leader of the team, was covered with sweat. He and his subordinates stood at the dock for a long time.

It took a few quarters of an hour to see a carriage coming from afar, and as soon as it came, there were more than twenty large carriages. There were as many as hundreds of slaves in front and behind.

"Eunuch Liu is so arrogant. Looking at those big carriages, even some officials in the court may not have such a situation when traveling."

"Eunuch Liu is Jiu Qiansui's confidant, do you know? If you offend Eunuch Liu, you will offend Jiu Qiansui."

"Silence your voice, how can you and I slander the affairs of the court? If you are found out by Jiu Qiansui, you and I will suffer." The leader Qianhu quickly interrupted his subordinates' discussion.

More than 20 large carriages slowly arrived at the dock. Eunuch Liu, who was mentioned by everyone, finally got out of the carriage without any haste, supported by the slaves.

"Oh, isn't this Huang Qianhu? You just accompany our family to Liaonan? Look at you, can you protect our family's safety?" Eunuch Liu said sarcastically.
