I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

The next day, students from Suzhou University arrived in Nanjing.

Taking into account the number of teachers, Wu Changqing finally decided to centralize the university hall first.

Compared with Nanjing, Suzhou is a little worse after all. Nanjing is the economic, political and cultural center of the south. There are more scholars here, and the number of talents gathered here is also more.

Therefore, the Great Hall was finally selected in Nanjing.

Entering the city gate and walking onto the main road, someone immediately noticed the strangeness of the road.

"Brother Feng, look at this road, it's so strange."

Liu Tao squatted down and touched the road with his hands.

Others followed suit. After learning new knowledge, they are now full of curiosity about the world. They will think about all kinds of strange phenomena and try to analyze the reasons.

On the way to Nanjing, they also argued about which of the big rocks and the small ones fell first.

There is a school of thought that it is a large rock, because from everyday experience, heavy things tend to fall faster.

However, Feng Xianzhong sneered and put forward a hypothesis, what would happen if the big stone and the small stone were tied together with a rope.

If the heavier falls faster, then the two stones together must be heavier than the large stone alone, and should fall faster than the large stone.

However, they have now learned about speed again and know simple speed calculations. According to the theory of velocities, the slower smaller boulders will drag down the larger boulders, so the overall velocity should be slower than the individual boulders.

This opposite conclusion makes many students cry without tears. In their study and exploration, they have experienced this similar situation countless times, and their daily experience is not reliable at all.

In the end, their discussions also did not lead to the correct conclusion.

However, their discussion has already had the shadow of a thought experiment, which is very rare.

Thought experiments are an important way to study science, because some experiments are impossible or difficult to accomplish in reality. At this time, it is necessary to rely on imagination to carry out experiments.

The most famous is of course Einstein. His experiments were all related to light with a speed of up to 30 meters per second. In his time, such experiments could not be done at all.

All experiments, he can only complete through imagination. Just by imagining, he just got the theory of relativity out.

In short, this way of thinking is important. Because of Wu Changqing's reasons, those scholars who could only read the Four Books and Five Classics had already developed this advanced way of thinking at this time, which was a particularly significant progress.

"Fellow, why is the road here like this?"

Some practitioners grabbed a passerby and asked.

"This is the cement road invented by Wu Guogong. It is made of water and mud. It's amazing. I watched the water and mud mix together, and then the mud became as hard as granite. Some people say that Wu Guogong is a god. Go down to earth and cast spells on these cements."

The simple and honest old man bragged endlessly, a bit like a city person meeting a countryman, proudly introducing the advancement of the big city.

"It turned out to be invented by the teacher, no wonder."

When everyone heard the words, they immediately understood that as long as it was invented by Wu Changqing, they would not be surprised.

After all, the teacher's knowledge is unfathomable, and they have already understood it.

"Teacher, do you call Wu Guogong a teacher?"

The old man was surprised.

"Hehe, we are students of Suzhou University, and students taught by Wu Guogong personally."

Now it's their turn to be arrogant and show off their identities in front of the old man.

"Let's go, don't delay the time."

When Feng Xianzhong spoke, everyone quickly stopped pretending to show off and went to the academy. This used to be the place where Guozijian took classes, but now it has been converted into a university hall.

In the academy, Wu Changqing is teaching physics to more than 500 students.

Although he has been busy all the time, he insists on coming to talk for an hour every day.

After all, in Nanjing, apart from him, no one can teach these people physics and geography lessons.

But now that the students from Suzhou have come over, they can share his worries for him.

Among the first batch of students in Suzhou, some geniuses who have mastered elementary physics have emerged.

And these people can reluctantly teach those beginners.

"teacher."

Feng Xianzhong and others saluted one after another, while the students in Nanjing looked at those who came from Suzhou curiously.

"Yes, I have finished marking the latest test papers, and everyone's results did not disappoint me. Next, I will promote a group of talents."

Wu Changqing was full of pride when he saw the batch of new-style talents he had created.

As long as their minds are liberated, then China's scientific and technological research will never fall behind the West. After all, in terms of intelligence alone, Chinese people are not inferior to Westerners at all.

In the original time and space, the technology of Huaxia Land did not develop, mainly because of the wrong way of thinking and insufficient attention to technology.

In order to continue to cultivate more new-style talents, and to attract more people to learn new knowledge, Wu Changqing deliberately promoted and rewarded the students in Nanjing.

He wants to let those people know that if you master these physical and chemical science and technology knowledge, you can really get promoted and rich.

Several people with good expressive ability and solid knowledge of physical geography and arithmetic were awarded a doctorate in the Five Classics of the eighth grade.

The main task is to serve as a teacher of physical geography and arithmetic.

As for the study of the classics, it is not necessary. The most important thing in Daming is the teacher of the study of classics.

The eighth-rank official is much lower than the previous five-rank and sixth-rank officials, but the few people who have been granted the official position are still full of excitement.

After all, this is just the beginning of the official position. As long as you make some achievements and climb up two levels, you will be the seventh grade at the same level as the county magistrate. Zheng Qipin is already a core member of a national institution.

The top performers were awarded the Doctor of Literature from the Fifth Grade, and Feng Xianzhong was even named the Doctor of the Fifth Grade.

Both the Doctor of Literature and the Ph.D. are new official positions specially set up by Wu Changqing, because in the existing official position system, he could not find a suitable official position for them.

Because the content of the work they are about to do is a scientific research project that has never been done before, and there is no similar official position before.

Everyone attaches great importance to official positions these days, so Wu Changqing could not ask them to work without giving them official positions, so he could only create a few new ones.

It doesn't matter what the name is for a newly established official position, as long as everyone knows the grade and the corresponding salary. A fifth-rank official, that is definitely a high-ranking official, a middle-level cadre of the entire central government.

Seeing those people being given official positions, the Nanjing students' eyes lit up.

Especially Feng Xianzhong's fifth-rank, that is the fifth-rank, and one has to start from sixth-rank to get a champion. But now, as long as you get the first place in the college entrance examination, you can start from the fifth grade, how can this make people not excited.

Some students who are very confident in their IQ are excited. They have made up their minds and must fight for the first place in the university.
