Chapter 732 Clairvoyance and New School
Luo Chong had never thought about marriage. It was not because he was so noble or did not like Tang Yao, but because he believed that with the strength of the Han tribe, he could completely conquer the Tang tribe with his own ability, and there was no need to use such a despicable political means as marriage.
To be honest, in this primitive era full of ignorance and backwardness, Tang Yao's appearance and the Han tribe's current dress, as well as her knowledge and kindness, were enough to be considered as upper-middle-class beauty. It would be a lie to say that Luo Chong had not been moved at all, but it was unnecessary to deliberately approach her in order to conquer the Tang tribe.
What he wanted was a love that was mutually agreeable, not coercion and conspiracy. If Tang Yao also liked him and the Han tribe, Luo Chong would naturally not mind accepting her, but that had nothing to do with the plan to conquer the Tang tribe.
Having made his attitude clear, Xiaodie could not continue to say anything, and Luo Chong did not deliberately express anything, so he and Tang Yao were actually still in an attitude of letting things develop.
Luo Chong had a lot of things to do, and for the time being, he really could not take care of so many personal relationships.
On the fourth day after Luo Chong returned to Hanyang City, a small two-masted sailboat suddenly came from the north. It did not go directly to the Daze waterway upstream of the Liuyang River, but came from the upstream of the Ruyang River and stopped directly at the dock of Hanyang City.
As soon as the ship docked, someone went to the city to report to Luo Chong. When he rode his bicycle to the dock, he knew the purpose of the ship.
This was a sailboat coming from Youye's front-line base. Not long after Youye left last year, Luo Chong had ordered them to bring him some crystals when Youye came back and passed by the crystal mine.
But this guy was busy collecting people last year, and he didn't accomplish anything and had no face to come back, so the crystal mine was delayed.
However, before last winter, after Luo Chong sent more personnel and material support, this guy finally remembered that there was still such a task that had not been completed, so when the ice and snow melted in the spring, Youye sent people to collect a boatload of crystals and sent them back.
As for himself, he still didn't dare to come back. I don't know if he was really busy or deliberately avoiding me. I guess he was afraid of delaying Luo Chong's business, so he didn't dare to come back.
Luo Chong looked at the ship full of crystals, but he didn't make things difficult for the crew. They were not decision makers, and there was no point in making things difficult for them. The most serious thing was to quickly turn these crystals into useful tools.
Although the Han tribe already had the ability to make various glass products, the glass made of quartz sand was still inferior to crystal glass in some aspects. This was not a problem of technology, but was determined by the nature of the material.
Luo Chong had not asked anyone to try to make a telescope, and he was actually waiting for this batch of ore.
There is no doubt that ordinary glass is really not enough for tools like telescopes that require extremely high light transmittance, but crystal ore is different. Its composition is pure enough, 99.999% of silicon dioxide, which ensures the absolute purity of crystal glass. Whether it is light transmittance or heat resistance, crystal glass is better.
In addition, in addition to being used to make optical instruments, heat-resistant crystal glass is also an excellent material for making chemical laboratory utensils. Some beakers and test tubes that need to be heated need to have high heat resistance, and ordinary quartz glass with a melting point of 500 or 600 degrees is obviously not useful. This is why he specifically asked Youye to bring back some crystals last year.
With the development of the shipbuilding and naval navigation fields of the Han tribe, the Han tribe's demand for telescopes has become more and more urgent. Now that the materials are in place, this weapon known as the clairvoyance can finally be put on the agenda.
However, Luo Chong can no longer remember much useful knowledge about the technology of telescopes. He remembers a lot of things about chemistry, but he has almost forgotten the lenses of junior high school physics.
The only thing he can remember is that the telescope seems to be made of a combination of convex and concave lenses. If it is a convex-convex combination, it will probably be a microscope.
In addition, the straight telescope seems to be a combination of convex-convex-concave or convex-concave-convex or something else. I don't remember it very clearly. Military binoculars have to go through a refraction because the distance between the eyepiece is smaller than that between the objective lens. In the middle, a prism must be installed.
It doesn't matter if you can't remember it clearly. Fortunately, the current research institute of the Han tribe has a certain research and development capability. Science is never a result of emphasis, but a process of seeking truth through continuous verification. So at most, you can always find the most suitable combination and data by doing more experiments.
So Luo Chong immediately wrote some concepts and basic theories about telescopes, as well as the general experimental direction, and then immediately sent his personal soldiers to send these important materials and a boat full of crystals directly to the research institute on the island in the middle of the lake.
The first step of the research and development step is not to find a lens combination, but to use these crystals to try out a batch of concave and convex lenses of various focal lengths. With these parts and equipment, the next step of experimental verification can be carried out.
When the top craftsmen of the Han tribe in the research institute got the information, they were overjoyed. They didn't expect that the leader's brain would explode again. He actually came up with the idea of using glass to make artificial clairvoyance, and it was said that it was really possible.
Because several people in the research institute had participated in the manufacture of convex lenses. That was when Luo Chong specially asked someone to make a magnifying glass for carving currency templates. When the craftsmen made the magnifying glass,
they were also surprised by this special mirror. According to the information provided by Luo Chong and their own understanding, the principle of this thing is probably to use the special function of the magnifying glass to infinitely magnify the small scene in the distance, so that people can see things clearly at a distance.
So this thing is indeed feasible in theory. After
reaching this conclusion, a group of researchers were immediately full of energy. On the same day, a special research team for telescopes was established. First, a batch of lenses of various models were cast with molds.
At the same time, Luo Chong's information also gave a special hint that compared with lenses of the same diameter, the different thickness of the center will lead to changes in focal length, that is, the magnification will change. Such a magical theory made these researchers intoxicated.
They didn't care about money and honor, because they had all of them. The leader had already given them everything they could. The reason why these researchers liked working here was that they could often get in touch with the latest technology mastered by the leader in the institute, which greatly satisfied their curiosity about the various rules and laws of this world.
After all, people have a desire for knowledge, but most people seek knowledge in different directions.
After handing over this research and development plan, Luo Chong left it alone for the time being.
After several months of construction, the new university town of Han tribe is about to be completed and put into use. He has already made a complete development direction for the medical school, but he has not made plans for other disciplines. Now is the time to come up with these advanced education systems.
It is hard to say about literary creation. It must be developed slowly after a period of precipitation, but the Han tribe is eager to find talents for various administrative needs.
Agricultural colleges are indispensable, and construction and water conservancy are also indispensable. In the future, when developing ships and ocean-going ships, a ship or naval academy must be added. In addition, there is a polytechnic college that pursues truth, and a political and legal major that maintains social order. These are all indispensable majors.
Many students from the schools in Han tribe before, who have relatively good grades, have already been employed in the tribe. Some have become minor officials, some have become craftsmen, and some have directly entered the research institute as calculators. There is a shortage of mathematical talents there, and many students continue to study while participating in work after entering the research institute.
Now, for better development in the future, these disciplines must also be systematically organized, and strive to spread the education of the Han tribe and the knowledge he has learned as much as possible during Luo Chong's lifetime.
The new campus, or university town, of course, is not a complete university now. All future universities must be built in the capital of the Han tribe. Now these schools, which are equivalent to middle schools, are arranged by Luo Chong in the new county town under Ruyang County.
At first, Luo Chong also planned to build these schools in the newly established Nanzhang County, but later he thought about it and put them under the jurisdiction of Ruyang County. As a city with schools as the center, of course, it is better to lean on a big tree to enjoy the shade. There is a county town that has been developed for many years to support it behind, which is much better than being placed in a bare new county.
In this way, Yun Zhi is cheap. Luo Chong originally asked him to build two more county towns, and now this university town directly occupies the quota of one county town for him.
The newly built city was named Xuefu County. It is located to the north of Ruyang County and to the east of Hanyang County, not far from the other side of the river in Hanyang City.
Although this city is a county-level unit, its scale is no less than any county city. After all, there are several schools in it, and it is inevitable to join the construction of residential areas and living areas of normal county cities. In this way, the city will inevitably become larger.
However, because it is close to two large counties, the construction of the new city can also receive a lot of help. In addition, with the large number of slaves captured in this war, the speed of city construction is still not slow.
The medical school has a clear development direction, so a separate campus was set up, named Han Tribe Northern Medical College, which has teaching buildings, dormitory buildings, laboratory buildings, anatomy centers, herbal experimental plantations, experimental animal breeding centers, and an ice cellar for storing human specimens.
In addition, the medical school also has a hospital set up for the outside world, which usually treats various patients. After all, medicine is not enough to rely on paper alone, and clinical verification is the key.
The hospital is connected to the college, with teachers from the school taking turns to see patients and students taking turns to do internships. Although the scale is not large, it is small but complete. It can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time, including an inpatient department, an outpatient building, a parking lot, a large pharmacy, a canteen, etc. Many functional buildings are actually shared with the college, but as the first formal hospital in the Han tribe, it is also perfect enough.
More importantly, the hospital is still in the trial operation stage. It is free to see patients, but the cost of buying medicine will be charged. The awareness of paying should be cultivated from the beginning, and the people should not be allowed to develop the habit of freeloading.
If surgical treatments such as trauma debridement and suture, broken bone reconnection, etc. are required, the hospital will adopt a policy of first treating and then charging. If the treatment is successful, the hospital will charge money, and if it is not, the hospital will compensate for the funeral expenses. There is no way. Now medicine has just started to be studied, and no one can guarantee that it will be cured.
In addition, there is a special obstetrics and gynecology department to specifically receive families who want to give birth in the hospital. The hospital will charge a certain fee to provide a series of services such as delivery and postpartum care.
The purpose of building this hospital is, of course, to summarize the experience for teachers and students in the school, which is of great significance.
Other disciplines such as science and engineering, literature, politics and law, architecture, art, and agriculture were still experimental in nature because they did not have a systematic development direction. The school was not large in scale. In the end, all these disciplines were simply placed in a large campus to jointly run a Northern Advanced Comprehensive College, which could be divided into several sub-departments.
As for another important Naval Academy, Luo Chong directly placed it in Liuyang County, where there was a big river and a shipyard. As long as it was knowledge related to ships, no matter what it was, it was much more convenient than in Ruyang County.
In early May in summer, the campus of Xuefu County was finally built. Although the residential and living areas of the people were still to be built, the school could now officially enter operation. However, in addition to the medical school, the other comprehensive college had to wait until the fall, when the students of the original primary school graduated, before they could enroll students and start school.
However, Tang Yao, who had lived in Luo Chong's house for several months, could not help it and proposed to transplant the herbs temporarily planted in the yard to the herb plantation of the medical school. Luo Chong also wanted to see the construction of the school.
Why not just take the whole family with you? Anyway, there are not many people in the school right now, so just treat it as a trip.
The two children were very excited to go out and play, but when they were packing, Xiaodie complained to Luo Chong.
"Husband, you have built so many professional schools, even for pottery and painting, you have to set up an art college, why don't you have a textile industry college? Don't you value us weavers?"
Luo Chong rode on a bicycle with a beam, put little Luo Cheng in a rattan child seat in his arms, and helplessly spread his hands to Xiaodie.
"Our tribe's textile industry has basically developed to the limit of manual weaving. There is really nothing to teach. To improve further, it will be fully automated. Dozens or even hundreds of looms can be operated at the same time without human intervention, which will be more efficient and tireless. However, at that time, the female workers in the current textile factories will definitely be impacted and their jobs will be lost."
"Ah?! No human intervention? That's better off. There are still so many families in our tribe who rely on this job to support their families." Xiaodie immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"Dad, let's go and dry the sun!"
Seeing that Luo Chong and Xiaodie were talking endlessly, Xiao Luocheng, who was sitting on the bicycle beam, couldn't stand it anymore and pulled at his black hat and urged loudly.
