Chapter 414 The Significance of Imperial College

As the day of the experiment came, Hu Hai led all the court officials to the Imperial College of the Qin Dynasty early.

People who are engaged in science are always dull and do not build a special platform for the emperor. They just let all the ministers and students gather by the lake, watching Mo Qing and a few young people busy.

When everything was ready, everyone retreated. Only Mo Qing stepped on the ship about five meters.

Although it is only five meters, the entire ship is a microcosm of a Daqin naval warship.

In order to have a good effect on this demonstration, Mo Qing started the steam engine early. After holding on, the model aircraft slowly moved as Zhang Liangyi waved the flag in his hand on the shore.

It moved slowly at first, but with the working of the steam engine, the ship's speed became faster and faster. Under Mo Qing's control, the ship flexibly turned on the lake surface.

The viewers around him showed a look of horror. Hu Hai naturally knew that if the steam engine was used properly, it would not be difficult to do this. But other people did not have the same idea.

Meng Yi thought at the first time that if this steam engine was applied to the vehicle, it would have a drastic effect whether it was transporting food and grass or fighting chariots.

Li Si blinked his eyes, and he remembered that the old emperor had once built a sprint road, which was to quickly run across the north and south east and west. If a more complete sprint road and vehicle were made on the basis of this sprint, the speed would be much faster than a war horse. The prototype of the train was outlined bit by bit in his mind, but the subsequent things still needed the support of the Daqin Empire Academy.

Staff from different departments all thought about the use of this kind in different places, and of course some people are paying attention to steam engines. Once this thing is mature and put into the market, it will subvert the society, and the income will definitely be quite high.

Just when everyone was surprised by the flexibility of this warship, something even more surprising happened as Zhang Liang waved the flag again.

Mo Qing held the rudder with one hand and pulled a joystick beside him with the other hand. Suddenly, there were wooden boards on both sides of the ship's side, and dark iron pipes appeared from it.

Before everyone could react, the iron pipes suddenly rumbling and burst into flames. Amidst the fireworks, colorful smoke rose, making the model of the warship hidden in the clouds and fog.

"This ship was originally built by Keyuan Academy, and later the entire Qin Empire Academy participated in the construction of the ship. Now the things that extend out of the ship's side were named after the emperor's imperial name, called artillery. If a lead bullet is placed, it will be extremely lethal." Zhang Liang explained on the side.

All the ministers looked at Hu Hai in horror.

If the warships surprised them, they would just run flexibly and quickly, but they still need to be killed with real swords and guns.

Nowadays, such fast ships and cannons that can fire lead bombs, no one is the opponent of the Qin Navy at the entire sea.

"There are a batch of such ships to be mass-produced and then handed over to Ren Xiao. Then replace the ships of my Daqin Navy and transform them all." Meng Yi thought to himself, and couldn't help but think of his brother Meng Tian. If he lived to this day and saw such advanced things, he would not know what he would feel.

He said what he was thinking to Hu Hai.

Hu Hai nodded and said in Meng Yi's ear: "I have a bold idea. Most of the ships nowadays are made of wood. We need to build a further steel ship."

Meng Yi nodded. He was not shocked by the Second Emperor's statement. Because the monsters of the Imperial College of the Qin Dynasty had long studied what density. Whether it was steel or wood, as long as the density was less than the density of water, it could float on the water.

Although Meng Yi didn't know what the density was, he knew that this kind of thing was so mysterious. I heard that some people were studying how people's density was smaller than that of the wind, and it was said that they could fly in this way.

Madmen are all madmen. Meng Yi felt for the first time that this group of scholars of Qin who studied academics were even more terrifying than those generals who killed tens of millions of enemies on the battlefield.

With the successful end of the experiment, Hu Hai immediately ordered to grant Mo Qing the title of Steam Marquis.

This marquis is truly worthy of his name. If there were no Mo Qing, there would be no steam engine, so he would naturally be named Steam Marquis.

When everyone thought that Mo Qing, the marquis, had a name but no truth, the second decree was passed down again, and Mo Qing had a fief of two thousand households.

This shocked all the generals. Some of them were marquises who were born and died, and some of them fought for life and did not receive the reward from the marquis. But now Mo Qing simply did research at the Imperial College of the Qin Dynasty and was able to be marquis, and some people were inevitably dissatisfied.

Hu Hai knew their ideas, so he took them to see this experiment. In the face of the experiment, these warriors should be able to appreciate the changes brought by technology that are the most intuitive.

If such a fierce warship is mass-produced, it will be a one-sided victory against those pirates and even the fleets of other countries.

Kill more enemies and fewer people on the battlefield is the greatest contribution. If we subdivided it, it would be a pity for Mo Qing to give him a marquis to a marquis.

He would naturally not say such words as the emperor, but Yuzhan, a small dwarf who served the emperor, had already spread the emperor's thoughts. Who else dares to say more?

At the Imperial College of the Qin Dynasty, there is a college that is completely opposite to the Kewu Academy. If the things studied by the Kewu Academy are practical, then the college is studying illusory things.

This college is called the Humanities School.

In recent years, the laws of the Qin Dynasty have been constantly reforming and improving, and many rules and regulations come from this Humanities Academy.

The nobles of the Qin Dynasty never knew what human rights were. However, under the instruction and guidance of Hu Hai, the Humanities Academy obtained a concept that could almost be considered rebellion - human rights.

That is, under the sky, everyone is equal and everyone has human rights.

However, in this environment, they dare not advocate human rights, because once it is proposed, it will violate the interests of those big families and the powerful people in the court.

I don’t know whether the emperor intentionally or unintentionally did not restrict human rights. Instead, he reminded them from the side to improve the law and regulate the nobles and people of the Qin Dynasty little by little through the law.

Since last year, Li Si's son and his neighbors had a little personal grudge and dispute, and the Xianyang Order did not commit any favoritism and fraud, all rules and regulations were handled in accordance with the newly issued regulations, and after punishing Li You to apologize to his neighbors on the street and compensated some money, the people finally knew that the laws of the Qin Dynasty had surpassed the ancient saying that the punishment of the doctors could not be punished.

All of this is driven by the Daqin Imperial Academy.

This kind of push is also very pressured for Zhang Liang because he has to face the pressure from the entire court nobles.
