It¡¯s snowing heavily outside and the wind is freezing cold, but inside the Qianqing Palace it¡¯s as warm as spring.
The Qianqing Palace, which was built by Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao at a cost of one million taels of silver, adopted many advanced technologies, including an overall heating system. When the boiler is turned on in winter, the entire Qianqing Palace is very hot. warm.
"Your Majesty, this is the first list of academicians of the Academy of Sciences and the recommended list of winners of the Science and Technology Progress Award drawn up by the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Ming Dynasty!"
Liu Jin delivered a list.
After more than ten days of intense discussions, the Royal Academy of Ming Dynasty has finally drawn up the list of the first batch of academicians.
A total of thirty names have been drafted on the list, and there is also a candidate list of twenty people. In addition to the names, their outstanding contributions in related fields are also introduced in detail.
"Um!"
Zhu Houzhao looked at it carefully.
"Zhang Xingjian, who discovered penicillin, created a new field of antibiotic medicine. Penicillin has a huge effect in treating pneumonia, tetanus, wound infections, viral colds and other diseases, directly increasing the average life expectancy of the Ming Dynasty by 20 years!"
¡°Gaolu, the discoverer of universal gravitation, whose law of universal gravitation laid the foundation of physics and promoted the development and breakthroughs in the fields of physics and cosmic astronomy.¡±
"Ren Siheng, president of Beijing Mechanical Engineering College, has made outstanding contributions in the field of mechanical engineering. He participated in the research of trains and promoted the development and breakthroughs in the transportation field of Ming Dynasty."
"Lu Qing invented the internal combustion engine, ushered in the era of internal combustion engines, and promoted the development and breakthroughs in the fields of transportation and power technology in the Ming Dynasty. It is of epoch-making significance."
"Well, not bad, not bad!"
Zhu Houzhao only nodded while looking at it.
He himself is engaged in technical and scientific research, and he pays close attention to many things in the scientific community. It is very clear that there are new scientific and technological breakthroughs, and he is also aware of the huge impact and role of these scientific and technological breakthroughs.
"Whether it is Zhang Xingjian, Gao Lu, Lu Qing, or Ren Siheng, they are all people who have made outstanding contributions, and they are all well-deserved to be elected as academicians of the Ming Dynasty Royal Academy of Sciences.
Without the participation of these people, the Royal Academy of Ming Dynasty would not have authority.
"Zhu Shou?"
Soon, Zhu Houzhao saw his name, his eyes widened slightly, and then he laughed happily.
"Zhu Shou, an outstanding contributor in the fields of electromagnetics and mechanical engineering, discovered the phenomenon of electromagnetic mutuality, participated in the study of telegraphs, researched generators, invented watches, invented electric lights, and made great contributions to the fields of electromagnetics and mechanical engineering. Outstanding contribution!¡±
"Not bad, not bad, well written, well written!"
After Zhu Houzhao read it, he nodded with satisfaction.
Compared with the sense of accomplishment of being an emperor, he prefers the sense of accomplishment in the field of scientific research. Now that he sees that his name Zhu Shou has received such a high evaluation and has been selected as an academician, Zhu Houzhao certainly feels an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. .
"This list is good, just follow this list!"
After carefully reading the list, Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction. Basically, the names on this list are very familiar, and they are all outstanding people in various fields of the Ming Dynasty's scientific community.
At the same time, this list also covers many fields, including Zhang Xingjian and Li Ting in the medical field. Li Ting has also made outstanding contributions in the medical field. He invented an anthelmintic drug that can effectively treat parasites in the human body. It has the same function as the pagoda candy of later generations. With this anthelmintic drug, the mortality rate of children has been greatly reduced and countless children have been saved.
There are also Gao Lu and Chen Zhinian who work in the field of basic scientific theory. Gao Lu made contributions in the field of the law of universal gravitation, while Chen Zhinian is a biologist who proposed the theory of biological evolution.
He was originally a medical scientist. With the expansion of Ming Dynasty overseas, the emergence of a large number of new things also led many medical scientists of Ming Dynasty to go to Haiwa to investigate and search for new medicinal materials.
Cinchona cream can effectively treat malaria, which was previously untreatable. This led countless Ming medical scientists to go overseas to search for various new medicinal materials.
Of course, there is also a trend of huge economic benefits. Whether it is Zhang Xingjian or Li Ting, the penicillin and anthelmintics they discovered have brought them huge benefits.
Ming Dynasty has strict patent laws to protect this aspect. At the same time, each of them attaches great importance to the confidentiality of their own prescriptions, formulas, etc., which determines some new discoveries and breakthroughs in the medical field.??, many people on this list are too young.
For example, the three winners of the Science and Technology Progress Award are all very young. Zhang Xingjian and Gao Lu are both only in their 20s, and Zhu Shou is only in his 30s. They are all too young.
They constantly criticize this selection for not respecting the seniors enough. Logically speaking, this should be more about assigning seniority and letting the older generation go first.
Others criticize Zhang Xingjian. Although he discovered penicillin, which can treat many diseases and save countless people, the Zhang family also made a lot of money by selling penicillin.
The price of penicillin is more expensive than gold. Ordinary people are often reluctant to use this penicillin. The Zhang family is a medical family. They should have the heart to help the world and sell penicillin as cheaply as possible, but the Zhang family does not .
"These sour and rotten people keep attacking this point. They don't care whether the cost of penicillin is very high or whether people need to eat. They just need to keep an eye on this point and keep attacking.
They simply don¡¯t know that it is precisely because the Zhang family made money from penicillin that more people will devote themselves to medical research and improve Ming Dynasty¡¯s medical technology.
