The cold wind was howling outside and the snow was falling heavily, but Liu Jin was sitting next to the fireplace, drinking tea leisurely and thinking about something.
¡°This wave of rubber has made me a lot of money. In an era without petrochemical products, natural rubber is absolutely an indispensable industrial raw material.¡±
¡°It is estimated that in the next hundred years, the rubber market will still be very good. There are many irreplaceable features of natural rubber.¡±
"Fortunately, our Ming Dynasty now occupies Nanyang. The best and most suitable places for rubber growth in the world are in the hands of our Ming Dynasty. There will definitely be no problem in achieving rubber freedom."
Liu Jin looked at the world map. This large island in Nanyang is the best area for growing rubber in the world. It is more suitable for growing rubber than South America, the origin of rubber.
Thinking about future generations, things like rubber and oil have been stuck to death. It feels really uncomfortable, so much so that a big country has to suffer from the anger of a bigger country in Nanyang.
"By the way, oil!"
Liu Jin¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up when he thought of oil.
Petroleum is a good thing. It is known as the blood of industry in later generations. It is not only a fuel, but also the most important chemical raw material. Chemical raw materials extracted from petroleum are used in various fields, and they have replaced natural gas in many fields. rubber.
"That's right, you grow rubber, and I'll dig for oil!"
"This oil is a good thing. Mastering oil is basically equivalent to mastering the energy of the future. This requires planning early. If you put this treasure into your own bag early, you can sit back and collect money in the future."
Thinking of oil, Liu Jin became excited. Oil is a good thing. Those Middle Eastern tycoons in later generations who have a piece of cloth on their heads and are the richest in the world, don't they just lie on oil and live a life of dreams and dreams.
"Persian Gulf~"
"Northwestern Golden Continent~"
"Southern Golden Continent~"
Pick up a pen and draw circles on the world map, enclosing these places. These places are known to be the richest reserves in later generations. It is enough to just occupy a few places. No more. Worrying about oil.
"It was really wise at the time. What a huge territory we have built. My Chinese descendants no longer have to worry about oil, iron ore, etc., and we no longer have to look at other people's faces."
With a simple stroke, Liu Jin immediately nodded with satisfaction.
Now it seems that except for the Middle East, other important oil-producing areas belong to the territory of the Ming Empire, with vast land, endless resources, and endless wealth.
I traveled through time and struggled for many years, but I was finally able to feel the happiness brought by struggle.
"Well, maybe it's time to take a look at Imperial College and fund them to carry out research on some new topics, such as internal combustion engines and oil refining. As long as these two technologies are developed, the oil age will come. .¡±
Thinking of this, Liu Jin immediately shouted: "Come here, prepare a car and go to Imperial College~"
"Yes~"
Some servants quickly started to prepare.
Soon, a four-wheeled carriage drove towards Imperial College in the snow and wind.
Imperial College of Technology, a professional science and engineering university established by Liu Jin with huge investment, is known as the four new universities of Ming Dynasty together with Royal Institute of Technology of Ming Dynasty, Imperial University and Beijing Institute of Mechanical Engineering. It is the top new university among all new universities. It is like a holy place among students.
There are nearly three million middle school graduates in the entire Ming Dynasty every year. Only the top outstanding students can be admitted to these four colleges and universities. The total number of students enrolled in the four colleges and universities in a year is less than 30,000, that is, It is said that only 1% of people can enter these four top universities.
This shows the status of these four top universities in the hearts of new students. Every year, countless students are eager to enter these four universities.
It is now approaching the end of the year, and Imperial College has already gone on holiday early. Many students have chosen to go home for the New Year, but some students are far away from home and choose to stay at school.
Liu Jin was walking very casually on the campus of Imperial College, followed by Huang Chong, the president of Imperial College, and several famous professors He Wenyuan, Xie Geng, and Ding Zhixiang.
Liu Jin is the founder and sponsor of Imperial College, and he is also the owner of Imperial College. In addition, he is also the official minister of the Ming Dynasty. He finally came to the school. Imperial College is naturally extremely popular.?Things closely related to life come out. "
He Wenyuan said very seriously.
"In addition, we have made a lot of progress in the field of astronomy. We have accurately calculated two solar eclipses this year and calculated the distance between the earth where we live and the moon. Next, we are going to find a way to calculate the moon. and the quality of the living planet.¡±
"In addition, in the field of electromagnetism, we also discovered the phenomenon that electricity generates heat. We continued to cut the magnetic field to generate electricity, and then used copper wires to energize the wires. The copper wires generated heat under the continuous energization."
Zhida 75zhongwen.com Zhixiao. He Wenyuan introduced the research results of Imperial College to Liu Jin like a treasure trove. In Liu Jin's view, these results were very insignificant. Compared with the rapid development of science and technology in later generations, they seemed to be ordinary.
But for this era, it is a very important scientific research result. One new discovery after another is constantly promoting the development of science and technology in this era. Just like the development of science and technology in later generations, many inconspicuous new discoveries and small The invention ultimately promoted the entire technology to achieve leapfrog progress.
"The idea that electricity will generate heat will be considered common sense in later generations, but in this age of scientific and technological enlightenment, it is an important discovery
