I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Xicheng Science and Technology Park is the largest science and technology center in Nanjing, the country, and the world.

All Dahua's current advanced inventions and scientific research are completed in this science and technology park.

The number of researchers engaged in it has reached as many as 50,000.

There are even more supporting staff.

This is also the place Wu Changqing goes to most frequently besides the palace.

In June of the 18th year of Yongxing, Wu Changqing came to Xicheng Science and Technology Park again to inspect and pay attention to the most cutting-edge technologies.

The first stop is the Rocket Research Institute, where scientists are studying the manufacturing of rockets and satellites.

The rocket launch theory has been thoroughly understood by these people, and the next step is a process of transforming the theory into reality.

This process is actually not easy and requires the cooperation of other departments.

For example, if the research on high-temperature resistant materials cannot keep up, they will not be able to build a rocket that can fly out of the earth.

Fortunately, Dahua's material research is also very fast nowadays.

Various special alloys and polymers that are resistant to high temperatures and low temperatures are emerging in endlessly.

"How long will it take to complete the first test flight?"

Wu Changqing asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it only takes another half a year to complete the experiment and launch it."

Project leader Liu Wen said.

In fact, they have now built two rockets, but they are still in testing.

Only after passing the test verification and making it foolproof can they dare to report it and conduct the first test launch in front of the people.

If it is announced to the public hastily and it fails in the first test, it will obviously disgrace the emperor and undermine the confidence of the people.

Although this is not a big deal, Liu Wen still hopes to avoid this kind of thing from happening, which is why the progress of the project is so slow.

"I'm waiting for your good news."

Wu Changqing said.

After inspecting the rocket project, Wu Changqing came to the Computer Research Institute.

The computer project has been in existence for several years, but progress has been slow.

This slowness does not mean that it cannot be manufactured, but that it cannot be mass-produced.

In fact, because Wu Changqing provided theory and manufacturing technology, computers were manufactured very early.

However, the first computer built was four meters long, three meters wide and more than two meters high, and weighed more than ten tons.

The success of this computer can only prove that the computer theory is correct, but it has no effect.

Not to mention that ordinary people can't afford it, even those research institutes and large factories that require a lot of calculations are unwilling to use this thing.

After completing the manufacturing of the first computer, Mi Hong and others turned their research direction to miniaturization.

Mainly the research on integrated circuits and transistors.

After two reductions and improvements, the computer Wu Changqing saw today was only half a meter long, which was only two or three times larger than later generations of desktop computers.

This size is already used by many research institutes.

Some companies that require a lot of computing are also already willing to buy.

However, there is still a long way to go before it becomes popular.

There is also a need to continue miniaturization and cheapness, as well as the establishment of networks.

At present, the cost of manufacturing a third-generation computer of this kind is at least 100,000 yuan, which is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Even the rich rarely buy them because the current computer functions are still quite rudimentary.

Apart from providing fast operation, it has no other function.

If you want computers to be popularized, the most important step is to establish a network.

Only when a network is established can computers become efficient and 'fun'.

"You can leave the miniaturization and cheapness to your assistant, and the direction of your future research will be networking."

Wu Changqing came to inspect this time and brought a large amount of information to Mi Hong.

The above introduces the concept of network, as well as development technology and so on.

"This is the network technology that His Majesty mentioned last time? What a god-like idea."

Mi Hong sighed again.

It is actually not difficult to implement network technology. The key lies in this sudden idea.

There are hundreds of scientific researchers involved in the research and manufacture of computers. They are exposed to computers every day and have a thorough understanding of the principles of computers.

However, after a few years, no one among them thought of connecting different computers, let alone the effects of connecting these computers.

This is actually normal, just like ordinary people rarely think about why an apple falls, they don't think about it at all.

Even if some people think this way, because the truth is too profound, they just give up after thinking about it.

It is precisely because of this that those moments of inspiration are so important.

What impressed Mi Hong the most was that Wu Changqing seemed to always have inspiration and could predict the development of everything in the world in advance.

Sometimes, Mi Hong would also wonder if Wu Changqing was a god in the world.

Although with the rapid development of science and technology and the popularization of scientific knowledge, fewer and fewer people believe in God.

However, when faced with some unexplainable phenomena, even great inventors like Mi Hong couldn't help but think about God.

“Complete this task as soon as possible and allow Dahua to realize network informatization.

This is our most important development project in Dahua, and I will fully provide all support. Whether you want people or money, just make a report. "

Wu Changqing made important instructions.

He is also a little selfish and wants to establish a network as soon as possible so that he can have more fun in life.

Of course, the most important reason is that informatization has a great role in promoting the development of society.

After realizing the network, communication between people and collaboration between different places will become extremely convenient.

After inspecting the computer project, Wu Changqing also inspected the laser project, airliner project, semiconductor research, etc.

Under his guidance, these projects are developing rapidly.

With the theoretical guidance provided by Wu Changqing, those scientists only need to understand and comprehend these theories, and then manufacture based on these theories.

"My butterfly has advanced the technology of this world by three hundred years."

After visiting the science and technology park, Wu Changqing felt emotional.

If you don't look at the outside world and just look at the scenes in the science and technology park, you can definitely conclude that this is the level of development in the 1960s.

This speed far exceeded Wu Changqing's imagination. He originally thought that it would be difficult to improve the development level of the entire society by himself.

But now he realizes that he underestimated human creativity and the vitality of society as a whole.

In fact, in the history of human development, what is most lacking are those bright ideas.

Every time a genius idea is born, society takes a leap forward.

And now that he keeps throwing out those technologies, it will be difficult for this society not to develop.
