Chapter 1067 Scientists are the traffic stars (fourth update, please subscribe)

Nobel Prize...

Certainly not in the world of 1882.

In fact, the Nobel Prize today is at most a successful entrepreneur in Sweden, nothing more.

Why is this happening?

There is no way out, his path was blocked by Emperor Zhu!

When he began to study nitroglycerin explosives, Nanhua put diatomaceous earth explosives into actual combat. A few years later, "explosive glue" based on nitroglycerin replaced silica explosives.

Without these two powerful weapons, Nobel Explosives Company... would be a piece of cake.

A few years later, Nanhua Chemical Company launched "ammonium nitrate explosives", and later "picric acid explosives" and "TNT explosives". It can be said that Nanhua Chemical has been leading the way in the field of high-energy explosives.

What happened next?

Imperial Oil Company also invested in the Baku oil field in Russia. Few people in the world know that the Baku oil field is the biggest source of Nobel's wealth, compared to dynamite. It was Nobel Brothers Oil Company that made him a millionaire and was the reason why he was able to establish the Nobel Prize.

What is the Dynamite Award?

It's clearly the Oil Award!

However, in this time and space, the Ming Empire cooperated with the Russian royal family in 1871, bought a large piece of leased land in Baku, and then transferred the best drilling team of the Ming Dynasty from Mexico, using the best steam drilling rig in the world at that time, to drill a batch of high-yield oil wells - "spouting about 3.5 million barrels of crude oil in a month." This was the first "10,000-ton well" in the Eastern Hemisphere and the world, and the oil was really flowing. As a result, the highly integrated large-scale oil joint enterprise created by the Ming Dynasty in Russia dominated Russia's oil trade.

However, although the Nobel brothers also entered Baku a few years ago, they were obviously no match for Imperial Oil.

Nobel's path has been ruined.

What about the Nobel Prize?

Emperor Zhu didn't know if there would be such a thing in the future, but now...

Faced with such a heavyweight paper, Emperor Zhu knew that the time was ripe to establish the "Explosive Prize".

...No, it shouldn’t be the “Dynamite Award”, it should be... the establishment of the “Royal Award”.

“It’s time!”

Looking at the paper in his hand, Emperor Zhu nodded with great joy.

This paper not only summarizes the important discovery of "electromagnetic waves". Unlike Hertz's proof paper, he also confirmed through experiments that electromagnetic waves are transverse waves, which have similar properties to light, such as reflection, refraction, diffraction, etc., and experimented with the interference of two electromagnetic waves. At the same time, it was confirmed that when propagating in a straight line, the propagation speed of electromagnetic waves is the same as the speed of light, thus fully verifying the correctness of Maxwell's electromagnetic theory. He also further improved Maxwell's equations, making them more beautiful and symmetrical, and obtained the modern form of Maxwell's equations.

After putting down the magazine, Emperor Zhu walked to the window and stood on the balcony. He looked at the starry sky. At this moment, his expression seemed a little proud.

science!

The importance of science does not need to be described in words. It is the foundation for the advancement of world civilization, the guarantee of national strength, and the basis of people's living standards.

Science and technology can be said to be the foundation of human civilization!

Precisely because he was fully aware of the importance of science, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang sent students to study abroad at all costs, established universities, and introduced scholars from all over the world, both famous and unknown... The Ming Dynasty provided them with the best academic environment and the most sufficient research and development funds.

Even if some European scholars came and went, Emperor Zhu didn't think it was a big deal. As long as they could sow the seeds of science, it would be a win for the Ming Dynasty!

After twenty years of consistent development, now! The seeds sown back then have finally borne fruit, and have even grown into a towering tree without anyone noticing!

From the discovery in X-rays, to the countless research results of Ming Dynasty scholars in the past decade, to this paper in front of us!

Everything proves that the science and technology of the Ming Dynasty has begun to move towards the highway of healthy self-development.

“I really want to know what kind of sensation this paper will cause in the scientific community!”

Just as Emperor Zhu had expected, this paper caused a sensation in the scientific community around the world as soon as it was published. The electromagnetic theory pioneered by Faraday and summarized by Maxwell had finally achieved a decisive victory.

Even in the eyes of many physicists, 1882 became a milestone in the history of modern science. Shen Hongyu's discovery was of epoch-making significance. It not only confirmed the truth discovered by Maxwell, but more importantly, it opened up a new era of radio electronic technology.

Even as this article caused a sensation around the world, Shen Hongyu's life remained the same as before, and there seemed to be no change.

He is still a physics teacher at Huizhou No. 13 National Middle School, and still teaches students in the classroom every day. Among his students, there are both Chinese and Europeans, and of course mixed-race students.

This is a very common thing in Huizhou.

On this day, as usual, when Shen Hongyu rode to school, he didn't notice at all that many people came to the school gate. Most of them were reporters with cameras, and they all looked into the distance with anticipation.

These reporters were already used to waiting like this, except that in the past they were waiting for movie stars.

In the past few years, with the development of the Ming Dynasty film industry, a group of movie stars have emerged. Some of them are popular in the market for their acting skills, and some for their looks. Topics about them always attract people's attention.

Despite this, the most popular stars in the Ming Dynasty were still scholars, because scholars were highly respected from an official level. Before the New Year every year, the emperor would invite outstanding scholars to the palace as guests, attend banquets, and stay in the palace for a short period of time.

The importance attached by the royal family naturally made the people pay great attention to scholars. What they valued was not only the scholars themselves, but also their knowledge.

Moreover, in the Chinese tradition, knowledge is extremely respected. And this respect for knowledge turned into respect for science in the Ming Dynasty. This fine tradition was fully developed in the Ming Dynasty.

As for the so-called movie stars, they may attract a lot of attention, but in the traditional concept, they are just "actors". As for the so-called artists? Are they worthy? It is not that one can be called a teacher just because of his age. At most, he is just... an old actor.

As for the mayor, the principal and other teachers in the school who had just been interviewed, they also looked into the distance from time to time. Even the students who usually went into the classroom quickly after entering the school were looking there and waiting for someone.

"Here it comes, here it comes..."

Almost as soon as Shen Hongyu appeared at the street corner, someone pointed at him and shouted.

"Mr. Shen is here, Mr. Shen is here..."

It was normal for a teacher to be called "sir", but it was very abnormal to be surrounded by a group of people. Before Shen Hongyu could figure out what was going on, and even before he got off his bicycle, he was surrounded by dozens of reporters in front of the school gate, and almost all of them were shouting at him.

"Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen, I am a reporter from the Ming Daily. Do you know what your discovery means to the world scientific community?"

"Mr. Shen, I am a reporter from the Nan Hua Daily. May I ask how you discovered the "electromagnetic waves"..."

“Mr. Shen…”

This is an era of noble science. In this era, scientists are the most dazzling stars. They shine with the halo of human wisdom. Their achievements are driving the progress of human civilization and changing human life.

These scientists are like the hottest traffic stars in the 21st century. Their every word and action will always attract the attention and admiration of the whole society. They will be worshipped and admired because their discoveries will always profoundly change people's lives...

There will be another update at 8 o'clock in the evening. A book club group has been set up: 335260551. Everyone is welcome to join and discuss and deduce the plot together.
