Seeing the confusion between the two, Zeng Baohua quickly explained.
"His Highness said that the things researched and manufactured here are important weapons of the country and must be strictly kept secret. Therefore, high walls are erected here and the security is tight. Zuo Yiwei is temporarily responsible for the security here. After the two of you enter, you must first complete a
Get your identity document and waist badge. Then the first thing you need to do is learn the "Confidentiality Regulations."
Xu Lin and Su Xie looked at each other, was there any need to be so exaggerated?
Zhao Si looked at the expressions of the two people and said with a smile: "Two gentlemen, you will know after you go in and take a look around.
Zhao Si and Zeng Baohua checked their documents at the gate guard room. Because Xu Lin and Su Xie were strangers and did not have any documents, Zeng Baohua, as the person in charge, had to sign a guarantee, and Xue Fan, who was transferred by the palace to be in charge of security work,
The master signed it himself and then let everyone in.
Xue Fanzi led everyone to the Security Bureau branch not far away to apply for documents for Xu Lin and Su Xie.
Name, brief description of appearance, serial number, secret key, fingerprints, seal, in triplicate, with a seam seal between the three copies.
"Copy A is carried by the two gentlemen and must not be lost. Copy B is in the guard room. When entering and exiting during normal times, the guard room only needs to look at the permission list issued the night before. As long as the two gentlemen are on it, they can check the certificates and let them go. So.
You two gentlemen must pay attention to the fact that official arrangements are fine, but you must ask for leave or cancel it for personal matters one day in advance."
"In emergencies or special circumstances, the guard room will check two documents, A and B. Copy C will be placed in the archives of the Security Bureau."
After hearing this, Xu Lin and Su Xie felt a little dizzy and their thoughts were a little confusing.
"Security Bureau, the newly established Yamen?" Su Xie asked curiously.
"Secretary Provincial Security Bureau. The Secretary Provincial Security Bureau has a large number of precious documents from past dynasties, as well as confidential documents of the imperial court. If someone steals them, it will cause great harm. So I reported to the officials and established the Secretary Provincial Security Bureau to be responsible for documents and documents.
Confidential security work. This is the Akakura branch."
Zhao Si explained from the side.
Oh, Xu Lin and Su Xie seem to understand, but actually they still don’t understand everything.
The two of them followed the example of Zhao Si and others, hanging the newly issued certificates around their necks and flashing them on their chests.
The two of them keenly discovered that there was a long green pattern at the top of their IDs. However, Zhao Si, Zeng Baohua and Xue Fanzi's IDs had a long red pattern.
"This is divided according to the confidentiality level. White, black, yellow, green and red. Green is the highest level that newcomers can apply for. When your review is passed by the Security Bureau, Xue Fanzi will reissue the red one for you."
Zeng Baohua said something while leading the way.
After walking for a while, there were bushes and trees on both sides, as well as secluded paths and small pavilions. When I turned the corner, I saw a building that was built to look like an ancestral hall.
There is a large stone at the door with a line of words engraved on it: "Technology creates all things!"
"Your Highness, what is technology?" Xu Lin asked cautiously.
"Technology is science and technology. Science is the knowledge of various subjects. Technology, techniques, methods and means. Science is research, which is what these two gentlemen are best at. Technology is how to turn the gentlemen's whimsical ideas into
Turn them into physical objects and manufacture them in large quantities. When the two are combined, there is nothing in this world that they cannot create."
"I see!"
When you walk inside, you can see three wooden signs hanging, pointing in different directions, dividing the place into three areas.
"Mathematics, physics, chemistry."
Xu Lin and Su Xie felt like children who had just entered elementary school. They didn't understand anything and were curious about everything.
"Mathematics is the study of digital arithmetic. For example, "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic Notes", "Haidao Arithmetic Classic", "Zhou Bi Arithmetic Classic", "Zhu Shu", etc., as well as Meng Xi Gong's Gap Sum Technique
, Huiyuan Shu. Under the guidance of His Highness, Gewuyuan added "Elements of Geometry" and "Introduction to Arithmetic", which are said to be mathematical works from the West, which can be used for reference and study..."
Zeng Baohua talked eloquently.
"Physics studies the existence, operation and demise of all things in the world. For example, the magnetic declination mentioned in the "Mo Jing" of the pre-Qin Dynasty and "Mengxi Bi Tan" by Meng Xigong, the concave and convex mirror that accommodates the human face, should be
Resonance, etc., Zirong Gong’s "New Yi Xiang Fa Yao"."
"Chemistry studies how to use different things and mix them together to create new things. Such as gunpowder, such as the gall water smelting copper as recorded by Mengxi Gong..."
Xu Lin and Su Xie felt dizzy and very excited after hearing this.
They were very interested in the study of objects, especially when they were helping their teacher Shen Kuo and their father Su Song compile a collection. The more they studied, the more interesting they became, and the more interesting they became, the more sophisticated they became.
But these knowledges are considered irrelevant nowadays.
In the pre-Tang Dynasty, there were subjects such as arithmetic, but during the imperial dynasty, scholars were selected solely based on poetry and classics.
What’s the use of studying if you can’t stand out as an official?!
Now they see that there is such a special place for them to concentrate on studying related knowledge, and His Highness King Jian personally presides over the leadership. It looks very "promising".
The two of them were very excited.
"This place has not long been established and is in urgent need of talents. Both gentlemen are great talents in this field. Wouldn't it be great to invite colleagues here to delve into the mysteries of heaven and earth together?"
Zhao Si took the opportunity to issue suggestions to the two.
"I will definitely write a letter and invite all my close friends to come."
Zeng Baohua urged from the side: "There are still several places, we have to move faster!"
"This is the machine factory, which specializes in manufacturing hydraulic lathes, hand drills and other machines. Over there is the pilot factory, which is preparing to develop and test new products. It is currently developing cement, glass and other products. This tall and large factory building,
It’s a chemical laboratory, purifying gunpowder. It’s removing impurities to make it more powerful. What kind of acid is extracted from green vitriol?”
"Sulfuric acid." Zhao Si added following Zeng Baohua's introduction.
"This factory with a big chimney is a smelting research institute. It smelt iron and steel. The famous water-patterned steel knife in Prince Jian's palace was made by these guys using Uzi iron ingots from Tianzhu. Now they are trying to recreate the former Han Dynasty
In the Tang Dynasty, Hexi was once famous for its hemp steel. There was also the steel filling method recorded by Mengxi Gong, and they were also trying to improve it."
"What other blast furnace method, blast preheating method, and new crucible method? Toss, toss vigorously."
"Yes, this dusty place is a car manufacturer. They are developing a four-wheeled carriage. It is the kind that can turn corners and reduce...Subtract...Thirteenth Lang, what are you trying to reduce?"
"Shock absorption can make people more comfortable during long-distance driving."
"Yes, shock absorption."
"This is a heavily guarded place. It's an ordnance research institute. It's a secret among secrets. Only people with a yellow sign or above can enter."
After walking in, I found hundreds of people inside working hard. One thing that looked like a building stood out."
"Is this a stone car?" Xu Lin asked hesitantly.
"This is an improved stone-making machine. It doesn't need to be pulled by a rope. It only needs to push the wheels on both sides to make it produce stones by itself. I made one a few days ago. It can produce stones of dozens of kilograms like a thunderbolt.
It took three to four hundred steps in a block, which was earth-shattering. Unfortunately, it fell apart after only four or five rounds. We still need to continue to improve."
"Over there is the improved Eight-Niu Crossbow. It uses a... wheel, Thirteenth Lang, what kind of wheel is it?"
"pulley."
"Yes, the pulley. After using this thing, the power is not reduced, the size is reduced by one-third, and there is no need to lead eight cows to wind it. A few people shook it and the string was wound up."
...
After looking around, Xu Lin and Su Xie were both numb, but Zhao Si's few words made them deafen their ears and make them feel excited.
"Craftsmen have experience, but they don't understand the principles. They can only pass it on by word of mouth and teach each other step by step. Often the methods are passed down. You gentlemen, you understand the principles and knowledge, but you are not good at making things by hand. You lack experience."
"What we have to do now is to teach outstanding craftsmen in craftsmen's workshops so that they can understand the principles and knowledge. Then combine their experiences. This is the real technology, the technology that can create all things."
Xu Lin and Su Xie both looked at each other with unmoved expressions and said, "I will teach you! I am willing to serve the great king's cause."
Just as Zhao Si was about to continue speaking, several scholars and craftsmen rushed over.
"Your Majesty, we have measured it and made it."
Xu Lin and Su Xie recognized the two men. They were Ling Tailang, who was in charge of astronomical research at the Taishi Bureau of the Ministry of Secretariat. He had once asked his teacher and father for advice on arithmetic, um, mathematics.
"Your Majesty, we used the measurement data of the famous monk Yixing of the former Tang Dynasty to calculate and finally arrived at the distance of this meter. According to the calculation regulations of your Majesty, we have made one meter, one decimeter and one centimeter.
Ruler."
"Okay! With the length standard, we can determine the volume, and then measure the weight of one cubic decimeter of pure water to get the mass standards of kilograms and grams."
Zhao Si also looked happy.
"Standard and accurate weights and measures are the foundation of all science and technology. Now this shortcoming has finally been filled." This chapter has been completed!
