How to say the idea of ​​automobiles? The progress of R&D is really unpredictable. Maybe it’s good luck. A genius in this area appeared in the Ming Dynasty, and it will become a few years, and may develop slowly. It will take more than ten or even decades to develop the engine.

The Ming Dynasty is not very urgent for cars now, so Zhu Cijiong sets a long-term goal, just be able to make tires and frames within five years, and then consider the issue of speed.

As for the project leader, Wang Zheng seemed to be very interested in this, so Zhu Cijiu simply gave him the responsibility. The staff asked him to convene him. He first invested 100,000 taels a year. If he could make a car on the road within five years, he would be rewarded with one million taels. The subsequent progress will be discussed at that time.

What I want to say next is really a bit ahead of the curve, so on the third day, at the beginning, Zhu Cijiu said solemnly: "It is difficult to make what I want to say next, but if it can be done, it will be of great benefit to the Ming Dynasty. So, don't be afraid of difficulties. As long as you can succeed, it will not be too late for decades or even hundreds of years!"

When the people below heard this, they were stunned. What is it? It’s so difficult that they have to study it for decades or even hundreds of years!

Zhu Cijing carefully recalled the guns and cannons from later generations, then looked into the distance and said with hope: "You may not know that in fact, there is more than one gunpowder, and there is also a gunpowder that is more powerful than black gunpowder. For example, gunpowder now must be lit by open flames, but there is a kind of gunpowder that will explode by itself if it hits directly; and, now, gunpowder, once it explodes, it will form a large smoke, which will last for a long time, seriously hindering people's sight. In fact, there is also a kind of gunpowder. After the explosion, the smoke is very small and will basically not block people's sight. These all need to be developed."

These are even more difficult for the people of the Ming Dynasty to understand. Is there any other gunpowder besides black gunpowder?

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Cijing explained the characteristics, production methods and functions of raze mercury, nitrifying glycerol, smokeless gunpowder and even Timberla based on his memory.

For example, thunder mercury is a good detonating material. With thunder mercury, there is no need for flint to ignite. It can be detonated by direct impact. Bullets and shells can be made into the shape of later generations. Make an ignition cap behind it, and directly hit with a striker can ignite gunpowder and fire bullets and shells, and the development of guns and cannons will produce leapfrog progress.

Of course, these require long-term accumulation of experiments and may even be in danger of life. Zhu Cijiu thought about it for a while and finally handed over the project to the more stable Bi Maokang, and strictly prohibited him from participating in the experiment.

He also made strict regulations on the experimental personnel and experimental sites, and necessary protective measures must be taken and quarantined, with one laboratory per person, so as to avoid affecting others as much as possible.

The reward for these is high. The annual investment of 100,000 taels is basic. If you succeed, you will be rewarded with one million taels, and there is no time limit.

Next, Zhu Cijiu proposed the idea of ​​a wired telephone, which is even more illusory. Thunder mercury, nitrifying glycerin, smokeless gunpowder, Tienti and black gunpowder are also used as references. Wired telephones are simply a fantasy. You can call at hundreds or even thousands of miles away. The Qianliyan and Shunfeng ears are not so powerful!

However, it seems that when Zhu Cijiu said this, Xu Fuyuan actually showed a strong interest. Since someone is willing to study it, it is naturally the best. Zhu Cijiu directly designated Xu Fuyuan as the project leader of the cable telephone. He also invested 100,000 taels per year, without a year. And as long as he achieved his achievements, the entire project team would be rewarded with one million taels every ten years.

For this, we cannot say that after success, we will directly reward several million taels, or even tens of millions of taels, because this is indeed very difficult and it is very likely that no generation can study it. So this generation of researchers will not get anything. Therefore, Zhu Cijiu specially set up a ten-year award.

Zhu Cijing never drafted the following things, and just thought of what he said.

For example, he thought of voltage from a wired phone, and he didn't dare to turn on high voltage electricity in the phone, otherwise he would accidentally electrocute the person. How to change the voltage? It's very simple. The transformer is just two sets of connected coils. This is not very difficult.

From the transformer, he thought of the welding machine. Low voltage and strong current will cause terrifying high temperatures when a short circuit is shorted. This is actually not very difficult. Just thicken the winding wire of the transformer and try it a few more times. The main difficulty is the production of welding rods.

There were too many types of welding rods in later generations, and Zhu Cijing could not remember what the raw materials for each welding rod were. Fortunately, since ancient times, there have been many welding materials. However, generally, the things that need to be welded and the welding materials are thrown together in the stove to heat them, so that they can be welded together. This method is really troublesome, and there is no way to do anything about welding between long welds and large objects. With an electric welding machine, these are no problem.

In other words, the development of welding rods is not impossible for people at this time. There have been many ready-made materials since ancient times, and as long as you try them slowly, you will always succeed.

Since the welding machine is related to electricity, Zhu Cijiu finally handed over the project to Xia Yunyi. According to everyone's description, it seems that the welding rod is not very difficult, so he set the development cycle of the welding machine to five years, and he also invested 100,000 taels per year. After success, he directly rewarded the project team with one million taels.

After such a batch of projects was decided, Bi Maokang, Wang Zheng, Sun Yuanhua, Xu Fuyuan and Xia Yunyi had all goals, and once they succeeded, they would receive huge rewards. It seems that only Song Yingxing was not responsible for the project.

This is definitely not possible. When it comes to inventions and creations, Song Yingxing is definitely one of the best. However, by accident, all the projects Zhu Cijing could think of were arranged for others, and only Song Yingxing was left with nothing to do. What should I do?

He must find a project for him, and for nothing else, to reward him with all his contributions to the Ming Dynasty over the years, he must get enough rewards.

For this reason, Zhu Cijiu racked his brains and thought for a long time, and finally came up with a good project.

On the last day of the seminar, Zhu Cijing did not talk about anything or draw anything, but asked directly: "Do you know what fierce turmeric oil is?"

Of course, many people know about fierce tinder oil, because there were first records of fierce tinder oil in the Han Dynasty, and there were detailed records of fierce tinder oil written by Shen Kuo in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Song Yingxing was the most studied these things. He coughed directly, stood up and bowed: "The emperor, Wei Chen, the Wei-Chen, has seen it in many books. The color of the fierce tinder is like ink and the fireworks is fierce. Since the Han Dynasty, people have mined it in Shu to cook salt."

Zhu Cijing nodded with relief and said, "Yeah, it's this thing. Because it was mined from the stone, "Mengxi Bitan" also gave it an alias called oil, which will be called oil in the future. In fact, it is wrong to burn this oil directly. As long as it is heated to a certain temperature, it will separate a lot of things. Among them, there are pure oil as water, which can be used as lamp oil for the people; there are white wax, which can also be used for lighting at night; and there are black and viscous residues that can be used to pave the way. Of course, there are many other oils, such as gasoline that emits like steamed wine, and can be vaporized. These will depend on you to slowly test and summarize."

The refining of oil was simply tailored for Song Yingxing. He really showed a strong interest. Zhu Cijing handed over the project to him without hesitation and offered a reward, with the same R&D funding of 100,000 taels per year. For each oil extracted, a reward of 1 million taels!"
