Zhu Youxiao looked through the research plan and said: "Okay, let me first discuss the problem of locomotives with you.
The rails can be made of wrought iron, which can speed up the progress.
So now the main thing is to speed up the speed and transport volume.
I know that the higher the steam temperature, the higher the efficiency of the steam engine.
Of course, the safety problem will be greater, but we don’t seem to have a way to measure the temperature.”
Sun Yuanhua asked: "Your Majesty, the temperature can only be felt.
I don't know how to measure it."
Zhu Youxiao said: "Temperature can also be measured, just like distance and time.
Matter has a characteristic called thermal expansion and contraction.
We use this to create temperature measurement tools.
By the way, our weights and measures It needs to be well unified and more precise, so that we can create precision machines.
This is the basis of scientific research.
Does the Ordnance Bureau have glass-making craftsmen?"
Sun Yuanhua said: "The craftsmen who make glass are all under the supervision of Dongchang.
The Ordnance Bureau usually has no place where glass is needed, so there are no craftsmen."
Zhu Youxiao said: "Glass is very important to those who do research.
Factory Minister, you can select a few people who are good at glass blowing in the glass factory and come to the Ordnance Bureau to make glass."
Wei Zhongxian looked at Sun Yuanhua and others with distrust, and then said: "Your Majesty, there are very few powerful glass workers in our glass factory.
If we are drawn to the Ordnance Bureau, the glass factory will not be able to operate.
If it is proposed by the Ordnance Bureau, Wouldn’t it be better to ask for it and then have the glass factory make it and deliver it?”
Zhu Youxiao laughed and scolded: "I just want to guard my own one-third of an acre of land.
That's fine, I'll draw a picture and you can make it.
In addition, Sun Qing, use steel to make a steel ruler, engrave the scales, and use steel Make yardsticks of different weights and use them to make final copies.
I need to determine the weights and measures first and lay a solid foundation before conducting research."
The next morning, a meeting of craftsmen and managers of the Ordnance Bureau was held in the compound of the Ordnance Bureau.
Zhu Youxiao began to speak on the temporary stage.
"Today I convened everyone for a meeting at the Ordnance Bureau.
The main purpose is to let everyone know what the correct research method is.
Usually we have an incorrect view, thinking that whoever is the official says is right.
Maybe this view is correct in other aspects, because experience and different heights will give those in high positions a broader perspective, but when it comes to scientific research, this view is absolutely wrong. " "If we want to accomplish something, we must first have the right method.
There is an important principle in scientific research, that is, to doubt everything.
You must first express doubt about what others say.
What seems to be correct does not necessarily mean it is correct.
When something happens, always ask a few questions first.”
"Scientific research is not a matter of fact.
If one part of a machine is unqualified, the entire machine will be unqualified.
This is not only a problem of unqualification, but may also cause serious safety problems.
A handful of Bayonets, if the quality of the steel is not good, our Guards soldiers may be injured or even killed on the battlefield.
If a part of the steam engine is not up to standard, it may cause an explosion during operation. " "If we have the right methods and a down-to-earth attitude, then there is nothing we can't do.
We must not only build steam locomotives that can fly on the earth, but also build steam ships that can swim in the water without oars. , and there are many things that we have never seen before and dare not imagine, and these all need to be thought about and done with your heart. " "I have implemented a reward system in the Ordnance Bureau before to encourage everyone to improve production procedures.
In the development process of flintlock muskets, this reward system played an important role.
Both the quality and output of the muskets have made great progress. progress.
And I asked yesterday that the Ordnance Bureau has only awarded five craftsmen and one master in the past year.
Graduate student.
This is not enough, far from it.

As I said, I doubt everything.
Is it possible that every part of the steam engine is perfect?
As far as I know, the speed of the steam locomotive can reach up to 400 kilometers per hour.
Miles, and the speed of our steam locomotives is less than a hundred miles, so there is obviously room for improvement.”
"We can even overthrow the entire structure of the steam locomotive and start over.
Can we not use the piston to push the crank?
Can we turn it into a wheel-like structure?
These are all areas that can be thought about and improved."
"My president is stationed at the Ordnance Bureau.
I want to set up an organization called the Patent Inquiry Office.
As long as you find any mechanical devices that can be improved, or you have an idea for a machine, you can find the inquiry office. , I will provide you with everything you want for your experiment.
If the experiment does not succeed, it does not matter.
Yes, I will give you a corresponding reward based on your merits.
In Baochao Company, several people have created a kind of paper that did not exist before.
I decided to give them half of the profits from the production and sale of this paper.
Half of the profits in ten years can be said to be that these people can stop doing anything and get a lot of money every year, and everyone will become a rich man.”
"I give this example to let you know what intelligence and talent can bring to you.
In addition to working in the fields, in addition to being a soldier and doing business, there is actually another thing that can help you support your family and even make a fortune, and that is to create new products.
I call this something invention and creation.
I hope that people all over the world can invent and create things that can make us richer and make our lives better.”
Although the craftsmen did not understand some words very clearly, they could still understand the basic meaning.
Some smart-minded people are interested in it.
If they can improve or build new machines like those people in Baochao Company, they will be able to get a lot of money like them.
And those students were even more enthusiastic.
They learned a lot of knowledge in the institute, which gave them a broader vision in research and a deeper understanding of principles than these craftsmen, so they were more likely to invent and create.
Zhu Youxiao had great hopes for them, but there might be some people like Watt among the craftsmen, so he said this in the weapons bureau.
After the meeting, he ordered the secretary: "Give my speech to Mr.
Xu for revision, let Mr.
Xu and Mr.
Ye polish it, and then publish it in the newspaper
