Chapter 1142 Great Ming Dynasty (Second update, please subscribe)
Damn it!
I'm a Xunzong...
The great Ming Empire's noble lord!
The kind that wants to award itself a medal!
Faced with the appeal from the European scientific community, Emperor Zhu was very melancholy! He almost instinctively thought of the emperor who had awarded him the medal.
This is too ironic.
It was not only Pasteur who made the appeal, but also the scientific community in European countries. It has to be said that everyone will bring up old issues.
The account book that Emperor Zhu had even forgotten about was opened.
In medicine, he not only invented aspirin, Liposonix, and other miracle drugs, but also invented "aseptic technique". As the father of blood type, he discovered blood type and realized safe blood transfusion. As for improving surgical equipment and inventing shadowless lamp, they are simply not worth mentioning.
As a chemist, he improved the production method of nitroglycerin, invented high-energy explosives, and successfully developed dynamite by improving picric acid.
As a metallurgist, he invented the open-hearth steelmaking process and improved the blast-furnace ironmaking process.
As a mechanic, he invented mechanical equipment such as the lifting lathe, shaper, and universal grinder.
As a nutritionist, he improved the production process of milk powder and developed infant formula milk powder, benefiting countless infants and young children.
As an electrician, he invented AC generators, electric motors, etc., bringing mankind into the electrical age.
He even invented reinforced concrete and modern steel structure buildings.
Of course, he also has extremely rich knowledge in the fields of physics and mathematics, and many physicists and mathematicians in the Ming Dynasty have benefited a lot from chatting with him.
…
After all these efforts, the old account books were finally opened, and with so many inventions, it simply dazzled the eyes of the whole world.
There is no way. Since the existence of human beings, no one has ever achieved so many achievements in so many fields.
"No scientist has ever achieved such a brilliant achievement!"
For a time, praises for Emperor Shengde were overwhelming. If at the end of 1882, the front pages of newspapers all over the world were all about the "Emperor Shengde Award", then at the beginning of 1883, the only thing on the front pages of newspapers all over the world was "Emperor Shengde".
There were even news reports that directly used "the rise of a science and an empire" to describe Emperor Shengde's amazing achievements in the scientific community.
These achievements are so amazing that people doubt whether they are real. Because of this, Emperor Shengde has become a top star.
Fortunately, Emperor Zhu lived in the palace, otherwise he would be surrounded by reporters as soon as he went out.
Of course, this is not without its benefits. An empire ruled by scientists must attach importance to science. The Ming Dynasty even recruited a wave of scientists and scholars from Europe and the United States.
There is no way around it. Many scholars are arrogant. Perhaps the kings of European countries attach importance to science, or at least pretend to like science, but in essence they are just rulers. But Emperor Zhu is different. He is the most outstanding scientist and inventor in the world. How can he not convince people?
As a result, a wave of talents naturally poured into the Ming Dynasty. This could be said to be an unexpected gain after Emperor Shengde became famous as a scientist.
Speaking of gains, what is the biggest gain?
Of course, the international image has been greatly improved. Before this, when European and American countries mentioned the Ming Empire, the first thing they thought of was expansion. But now? Of course, it is because the emperor is a scientist, or it is a country ruled by scientists.
In this era, scientists are the symbols of rationality, civilization and modernity, and the international image of the Ming Dynasty naturally underwent earth-shaking changes.
However, it is indeed very sad for the parties involved.
Especially after learning that I was nominated, my emotions were extremely complicated.
Personally, Emperor Zhu certainly hopes that he can be remembered by the world as a scientist.
A great scientist!
A great scientist held back by the state he ruled.
It's awesome just to listen to it!
From ancient times to the present, which ruler has such a title? There may be many emperors, but there are few emperors who are scientists. How can we not be fascinated by it?
But on the other hand, the reason why Emperor Zhu was melancholy was because he knew clearly where his knowledge came from!
Standing on the shoulders of giants, he plagiarized the research results of too many scientists, perhaps even their life's work.
It feels great to walk in other people's paths and leave them with no way to go.
However, unlike in the past when he used those inventions and innovations to promote the development of the country's industrial economy and technological level, now facing the sudden honor that has come upon him, Emperor Zhu feels a little guilty!
That’s right, I feel guilty!
There is a bottom line in life, okay?
In the past, business and making money were not shameful!
But now, facing the honor, he couldn't help but feel guilty.
There's no way. I'm not that thick-skinned like Xun Zong, who could award himself a victory medal for "successfully completing one or several front-line campaigns and making the overall war favorable to one's side" even though he had never led troops.
How thick-skinned must one be to accept it so calmly!
For me to face the award I gave to myself with a calm attitude, my face must be thicker than a city wall.
Emperor Zhu was very disappointed. Even as an emperor, he had no experience in dealing with this issue.
How to say it?
He knew clearly where the source of his inventions came from. The source came from scientists in another world a hundred years in the future.
"Making an outstanding contribution to mankind?"
"Well-deserved?"
On the speeding "Star of America" royal train, Emperor Zhu once again repeated these words in his heart.
What is shooting oneself in the foot?
Emperor Zhu had never had this kind of experience in the past, but now, he only felt that the sole of his foot was swollen.
I dropped a rock on my foot and it hurts a bit, what should I do?
Waiting online.
"This matter is..."
Shaking his head and sighing, Emperor Zhu, feeling a little annoyed, looked out of the car window. It was because he was a little upset that he drove back to Nanhua, where everything began.
Well, that’s why the outside world has that statement.
"The Ming Empire gained such an outstanding emperor, and humanity lost such an outstanding scientist."
While repeating these words in his mind, the corners of Emperor Zhu's lips suddenly rose and he muttered to himself.
"I guess the reason why those foreigners felt so sorry for losing such an outstanding scientist to mankind must be because the Ming Empire was so successful!"
Yes, that’s definitely the case!
