Chapter 77 Civilization is not enough
"Are you a chemist?" Chu Yun looked at Humphrey in surprise, and unexpectedly he was an expert in multiple fields.
When it comes to chemists, people may not think of anyone famous, so Chu Yun also thought of Mendeleev, Nobel, Madame Curie and others. As for Humphrey, well, I don’t seem to have any impression.
"I discovered the metal elements by electrolysis, such as potassium, sodium, barium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, etc...." Humphrey said aggrievedly, "It turns out that I was so unfamous among my descendants."
"Hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and neon...I still know these." Chu Yun didn't expect that the person in front of him was so powerful. He was probably one of the earliest super masters of chemists. I'm afraid that Newton and others have the same status in the mathematics world. However, Chu Yun is not very familiar with the field of chemistry, so it is normal that he cannot recognize it.
"During this period, Mr. Humphrey will also trouble you to create practical safety lamps and wait for the safety lamps to be mass-produced successfully. Mr. Humphrey can take up a job in the Department of Chemistry of our Academy of Sciences, and engage in teaching chemistry and conducting some chemical research that my teacher likes." Chu Yun thought to get a safety lamp technology himself, and the system also sent a chemist over, which just solved the problem of serious shortage of staff in the Academy of Sciences.
At present, there are mainly some professors and scientists summoned from the Academy of Sciences in the 18th century who are responsible for teaching and scientific research, and there are endless people who go to the Academy of Sciences to study, filling the "Science Square" in front of the Academy of Sciences. The Liao army has four paths of promotion, one is to make military achievements, become an officer through great military achievements, one is to become a senior craftsman through hard work, one is to study in the Army Martial Arts Hall and the Navy Martial Arts Hall, become a low-level officer, and the last is to receive private school education or directly pass the Academy of Sciences to become a scientific and technological talent and civil servant.
In the Ming Dynasty, which was a low-level scholar, although the knowledge of the Academy of Sciences was different from the boring eight-legged essays, it was also another way of education. The so-called "study is good at being an official, and after receiving basic science education through the Academy of Sciences, the possibility of becoming a small official in southern Liaoning is more reliable than the imperial examination. At least Chu Yun deliberately arranged for those who received the Academy of Sciences to become officials.
"Assuming the Lord's arrangements in everything." Humphrey was not dissatisfied with Chu Yun's arrangements.
After sending people to escort Humphrey to the metallurgical plant, the mine gas explosion was basically resolved. After the safety light was promoted, it may effectively eliminate the shadows in the miners' minds.
Next, Chu Yun also wants to start the steam locomotive technology! The steam train without thick smoke is running lightning on the vast land, how can it be considered an industrial revolution? At least steam locomotives have always been a joke in Chu Yun's mind.
"Is the system here? I want to enable the 'steam locomotive' technology, the 3,000 civilization point is ready." Chu Yun murmured to himself in his heart.
"Host, you have chosen the steam locomotive technology from the 19th century. The system found that the technology has a pre-technology and is checking whether the pre-technology has been completed..."
Oops, there is also the pre-technology! Chu Yun never expected that he seemed to be a little far from the steam locomotive technology.
"The inspection is completed. If you want to enable steam locomotive technology, you need to enable "modern machine tool technology", "parts technology", "locomotive boiler technology", "metallurgical technology in the early 19th century". While starting steam locomotive technology, the system recommends you to enable "standard rail technology"," the system said.
"..." There are so many pre-installation technologies to be activated? Chu Yun frowned. His dream of steam locomotive was clearly close to each other, but it was far away. And why did the system have an additional recommended function, which seemed to bind the "steam locomotive" technology to the "standard rail" technology. But it seems to be reasonable. Without rails, where will this steam locomotive run?
"Can I ask how many civilization points it takes to enable the above technology?" Chu Yun asked carefully.
"After calculations, a total of 12,000 civilization points are needed." The system replied.
12,000 civilization point is 4 times that of a simple steam locomotive technology! Chu Yun was about to cry. The civilization point he had worked hard to accumulate for several months was actually a little worse to enable these technologies.
"Then I want to ask, if I want to ignite the electric light technology, how many civilization points are needed to summon Edison?" Chu Yun discovered that the steam locomotive technology in the early 19th century alone required 12,000 civilization points. Then the civilization points required by the subsequent technology are not very terrible?
"Techniques such as opening points require electrical technology in basic science, practical generator technology, cable technology, glass technology, etc.... IMHO, your current civilization point is still far from it..." The system said here, and remained silent.
Oh, I was even despised by this broken system. Chu Yun calculated it. It was so difficult for me to start the technology in the late stage of the first industrial revolution. The practical power technology of the second industrial revolution must require more civilization points than the first industrial revolution. As for the third industrial revolution, that is, the civilization points needed in the information age, are the real astronomical numbers.
"System, please wait for me. I will be able to get 12,000 civilization points in half a month. Remember to book the guy Stephenson for me and summon him out at that time." The industrial revolution system has been used a lot, and Chu Yun talks to the system much more casually. Although the system is not inferior to him.
Humphrey arrived at the smelting plant and soon developed safety lamps for mining. The first batch of 100 safety lamps were sent to the Gaizhou mining farm. The mining workers in the mining farm heard that it was a new mining lamp that Chu Yun was working hard to develop, which could effectively reduce the risk of gas explosions. He praised Chu Yun for a while and the mine was jubilant.
Humphrey was also arranged by Chu Yun to enter the Department of Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences by Chu Yun for his merits and became another scientist in the Academy of Sciences. Since every person in the Academy of Sciences who holds the honor of "scientist" has a certain number of admissions, a new scientist entering the Academy of Sciences means that there are more places for the Academy of Sciences. The scholars from Liaonan who learned this news tried every means to inquire about this scientist named Humphrey, and were looking forward to whether they could become his students and have the opportunity to study in the Academy of Sciences. Even if they didn't know that Humphrey recruited the real meaning of the discipline "chemistry".
"The Academy of Sciences is so popular. Countless people squeezed their heads and wanted to get in..." Chen Ting received news of insufficient administrative staff in the Academy of Sciences, which made him worried.
Chu Yun did not expect that everyone would flock to the Academy of Sciences, a place where they could be non-commissioned officers.
