Chapter 284(1/2)
Industrial development is a gradual process. Later generations of the West completed this process with the thrust of capital. It was the profit-seeking nature of capitalists that forced the industrial revolution to move forward rapidly and thus promoted the progress of the times.
Although the Song Dynasty did not have capital intervention and lacked interest drive at this time, its development momentum was also extremely strong because it was relying on war-tornness that was more radical than capital...
To put it bluntly, although the emergence of a swarm of ferry and small steel cannons did not play a decisive role in the battle situation, it led to another unexpected result.
That is, from top to bottom, from husband to people, the Song Dynasty saw how powerful technology was! Then when Zhao Wei began to dominate the development of the Song Dynasty, when he tried his best to promote technology, even when technical talents were equated with literati, those opposition voices were extremely weak.
In such a situation where you or I die, it can even urge the Song people to have a desire for power!
This is actually not in Zhao Wei's plan, but it played a particularly important role. If, as before, in this dynasty where literati supreme was used to, would you dare to lift craftsmen up? What a joke? The literati could have stripped Zhao Wei of it.
Moreover, what Zhao Wei did not expect was the speed of technological progress.
Just like before, he thought that the steam engine would take at least ten years. But after only one year, Lao Yi put the prototype in front of him.
This made Zhao Wei start to think about why.
Is it because he, the time traveler, who has opened a plug-in or something else?
To be honest, such high efficiency surprised Zhao Wei, but it also made him feel uneasy and felt guilty. As a superior, this kind of surprise with a tendency to lose control is not wonderful!
actually....
This result is not a bad thing. In the final analysis, Zhao Wei's level in his previous life was limited.
He thought that industrial development was a gradual process, but he ignored that this process might be very rapid!
It was so fast that it was unacceptable.
It is like at the beginning of the Western Industrial Revolution, the British textile industry took only twenty years to complete the ultra-high modernization of the textile industry from a single hammer primitive spinning wheel, to a multi hammer spinning wheel, to a hydraulic textile machine, and finally completed the ultra-high modernization of the textile industry.

It is as if the computing efficiency of chips has been updated in geometric multiples in units of years since the end of the 20th century.
The development of technology is often determined by demand, and technology under capital rule is subject to interests.
To put it bluntly, capital does not actually need technology updates too quickly, because they need time to accumulate profits. Too fast increases costs and reduces profits.
But the Song Dynasty was different. The incentives of war and the dominance of centralized politics made technology without considering profits. Run as fast as you can!
From this perspective, the steam engine has not been in place in one step and has reached the level of industrial application, which is a great thing.
Without considering capital investment and manpower consumption, it will inevitably improve the overall industrial level of the Song Dynasty.
This experience accumulated through continuous improvement will also become the most precious wealth of the Song Dynasty.
After leaving the steam room, Yi Sima was in a much better mood because of Zhao Wei's guidance.
After spending many years with Zhao Wei, Lao Yi also knows Zhao Wei. What he just said is definitely not false comfort. But his steam engine... It seems to be really useful!
I no longer feel sad, and I laughed happily.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will continue to work hard and create another miracle based on this steam engine!"
"Well..." Zhao Wei was very satisfied, "That's good. I still said the same thing. If you only do this thing well in your life, you will be worthy of the ages!"
"Hehe!!" Yi Simayin laughed. He had such a personality, and his sadness and joy were on his face, and he couldn't resist praise, and he could no longer praise him. He would be floating around as soon as he praised...
After hearing what His Highness Ning said, Lao Yi immediately climbed up along the monkey pole, "What... Your Highness thinks... With this steam engine, can we get the top name in the courtyard this year?"
Within Zhizhi Academy, there are rankings and rankings every year, which is a means for Zhao Wei to inspire everyone.
Not only are there hierarchical distinctions between academicians and academicians, but there are also rankings of merit every year.
If you are lucky enough to be among the academicians, not only will the bounty be so generous that you doubt your life, but it will also be a great honor for Lao Yi and the others.
It was like when Zhizhi Academy was established in the first year, it was named Mr. Wang Zhen. With the potato breeding method, he was awarded a second-level academician.
You should know that they were all fifth-level academicians who had just entered the Zhizhi Academy, and it goes without saying how high they were at the second level.
In the second year, Zhao Youqin won the first place because of a microscope. He was also a second-level academician. Originally, Yi Sima could take advantage of his old "Huihui Cannon" and one-piece shells, but in front of the microscope, these two things were indeed not enough.
It became intense in the third year, including the blood type identification method of John Old, and the sextant of Deng Mu and Chen Yuanliang. Both of these achievements are extremely important and it is difficult to decide the outcome.
But I was so desperate that I never died. This year, Zhao Wei happened to return to Fusang and happened to meet Wang Wulang, who was like a madman...
The blood type identification method and sextant were completely out of reach in front of Wang Wuro's creations.
In the third year, the only first-level academician of the Zhizhi Academy was born, and he was also granted the title of "Shou"...
Now is the end of the fourth year of the establishment of Zhizhi Academy. To be honest, Yi Sima created a steam engine in one year for this rating!!
He thought he was no worse than anyone else in Zhizhi Academy. Of course, except Wang Wulang, that was a pervert.
But after all, he is considered a veteran of Zhizhi Academy, right? He is still a fifth-level academician now, and he is embarrassed to meet people when he goes out!
This is actually the reason why Xu Liang, A Lao, Liu Derou and others are so willing to help Yi Sima Yin.
When Xu Liang made out the small steel cannon and hydraulic lathe, he had not yet reached Zhiyuan. He had no chance to rated the book and earn gold. Liu Derou made the explosives pit.
Anyway, it’s just a bunch of guys who think they are so arrogant, they are all the lowest level five academicians. Who is willing to do it?
Zhao Wei said before that as long as you can get the steam engine out, it will be famous for all ages and is even better than Wang Wulang’s title of Conghou!
It’s no problem to be a first-class academician?
This is the motivation of everyone. It is precisely for this rating that Duokopan came back. Wang Wulang, who has no research project for the time being, wanted to help out with advice, but they all refused!
"What are you a first-level academician and our fifth-level academician?"
This is Yi Sima Yin’s original words. He just holds his breath!
Now Lao Yi is obviously a little arrogant. After making the words clear, we are just pursuing the rating!
A steam engine kills everyone! I, Yisimayin, is the boss of Zhizhiyuan! Let the dark and short Lu Banhou, who is in the Luoguoba, die!
At this time, the group of people raised their ears... obviously they were very concerned about this.
When Zhao Wei heard this, he understood everyone's thoughts. To be honest, it was indeed a bit aggrieved to let these great men bear the title of a fifth-level academician.
But... he set the rules, he can't break the rules...
Zhao Wei is a little troubled... This year, they may not really be named this top!!
He stammered: "This...this prototype is still a bit bad..."
"You all need to continue to work hard and strive for another glory next year!"
"Hmm?" Whether Lao Yi or Xu Liang, he was stunned after hearing this!
Your Highness has something to say... Why? Don't you plan to give it to us this year?
Then who do you give it to?
Is it really a beautiful thing to fool people with those words just now?
"Your Highness!" Yi Sima was anxious! "I am straightforward and have something to say! Why don't you give it to us!"
"That's it!" Old Ah was also a little aggrieved, "You haven't been in Xinya Mountain this year, so I don't know how hard it is for me!"
Pointing at Xu Liang, "This old pervert hasn't been home for almost a year for this broken machine!"
Xu Liang blushed and he was speechless: "What are you saying this?"
He turned to Zhao Wei again, "Who has come up with something that he cannot do after hearing what you think?"
Before Zhao Wei could speak, Yi Sima shook his arms, "What's the most amazing thing?"
"Heigoro Jianglang has finished his talents! Deng Mu is in Kepanxiu Reservoir! Zhao Youqin is in the old business, wearing a telescope, and in turn it is a microscope. The remaining few have no results, who else can be there?"
Zhao Wei's face turned bitter, "Old Yi... it's really fruitful."
Yi Sima was stunned, "Who, who?"
Zhao Wei, "The one you look down on the most."
Yi Simayin still couldn't react, "Which one?"
Zhao Wei, "My brother... Wang Sheng!"
"Wang Sheng!?" Everyone was stunned, Wang Sheng?
What can Wang Sheng achieve...
He was stunned for a moment, "He, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, will he really be open to others and be cured again?"
Zhao Wei focused on it, "That's right! Wang Sheng's surgery has made a major breakthrough! There are already successful cases! You guys say that this top name should be given to him this year?"
"day!"
Yi Sima almost got angry because she said, "Impossible! This is impossible! Can you really survive by splitting him alive and sewing it?"
He didn't believe it, it was different from his steam engine.
To put it bluntly, steam engines are new things. No matter how incredible they are, they can be found and make sense.
But human life...
Whether it is Han culture or Arab culture, the confusion and worship of life are unattached.
From the day people start to understand the world, they are thinking about life and how to continue life.
But the result is a despair. From ancient times to the present, people can be said to know the most, the strangest, the most helpless and the most fearful!
To be continued...
