Chapter 325: They are all great figures!
After lunch, Yining asked Yi Heping to carry the bag and come to Zhang Xiang.
Yining entered the room alone, and Zhang Xiang was lying on the table, writing furiously.
Yining asked,
"What are you writing about?"
Zhang Xiang looked up and saw that it was him, and said,
"The Emperor has arrived, and you didn't even greet me so I could welcome him!"
Yining smiled and said,
"Stop messing around, do we need this?"
Zhang Xiangdao,
"That won't work either. This is the way things are in this era. We still have to do things to save face!"
Yining smiled and said,
"Okay, pay attention next time and see what I brought you!"
As he said this, he put the bundle on the table and untied it. When Zhang Xiang saw such a large pile of papers, he knew that Yining had gone back.
"What do you have with all this?"
Yining Road,
"Mining, steelmaking, oil refining, and internal combustion engines!"
Zhang Xiang was puzzled.
"How did you bring it back?"
Yining complained,
"It's wrapped around me, all fucking covered!"
Zhang Xiang was puzzled.
"I've been wondering from the beginning, your body can't go back, so how can you bring things with you!"
Yining Road,
"Who knows? Anyway, I brought the Green Water Ghost with me the first time I came here!"
Zhang Xiangdao,
"Stop complaining! You can still go back and enjoy yourself for a few days, but I've never been back once!"
Yining was also puzzled.
"Yeah, why can't you go back?"
Zhang Xiang glanced at him.
"This is asking me to work for you honestly!"
Yining had nothing to say, he could only clench his fists and said with a powerful expression,
"Let's liberate all mankind together!"
Zhang Xiang ignored him, picked up the document and flipped through it, muttering to himself,
"The technology is there, but the processing capacity can't keep up!"
Yining Road,
"Yeah, it's really frustrating not having any equipment!"
Zhang Xiangdao,
"Now that we have electricity, let's build a lathe first. Once we have the first one, everything will be easy!"
Yining Road,
"Can we make a diesel engine first? If we can't make a car, a three-wheeled motorcycle wouldn't be bad either!"
Zhang Xiangdao,
"That's a good idea. The three-wheeled vehicle is relatively simple and can solve big problems!"
This is true. In later generations, a 12-horsepower diesel engine installed on a tricycle could run at a speed of 40 to 50 kilometers per hour and carry a load of up to two tons.
The modified 12-horsepower tractor can pull five or six tons, which is much more than the original GAZ truck!
We’ll start with some small casting equipment, and then we’ll have them gradually!”
Yining smiled and said,
"I'm looking forward to conquering Europe on a tricycle. Just thinking about it is exciting!"
Zhang Xiangdao,
"Hurry up and get some rubber! Without rubber tires and wooden wheels, you can't even reach Europe, let alone Tongzhou!"
Yining smiled and said,
"It has already started, don't worry, it won't delay anything!"
Yining asked,
"How are the craftsmen's skills?"
Zhang Xiangdao,
"Don't underestimate these craftsmen. Even now, the most advanced machine tools can't replace manual labor, such as manual grinding!"
Yining smiled and said,
"I understand this!"
Zhang Xiang said happily
"Guess who I found?"
"Who?"
Zhang Xiangdao,
"Xu Shou, Hua Hengfang, Li Shanlan, and Ding Gongchen!"
"Holy shit, you're awesome!"
Yining was happy. How could he have forgotten about them?
These are all real experts. Although they have complete information, they also need someone who can understand and comprehend it!
These people can do it, and they are all great translators.
When it comes to the modern history of national industry, there are several great figures that cannot be avoided. Let us try to introduce them briefly here.
The first awesome person is Li Shanlan.
He was born in Haining, Zhejiang in 1811 and died in 1882 at the age of .
Li Shanlan is a famous mathematician, astronomer, mechanician and botanist in modern China!
He created the power series expansion of the square root of the second order and studied the power series expansion of various trigonometric functions, inverse trigonometric functions, and logarithmic functions.
This is his greatest achievement and also the most amazing result in Chinese mathematics in the 19th century!
In 1852, he went to Shanghai to participate in the translation of Western scientific works such as mathematics and astronomy. In just 8 years, he translated more than 80 volumes!
Before his death, he was the chief instructor of the Astronomy and Mathematics Department of the Tongwenguan in Beijing.
The "Zegusi Zhai Mathematics" he edited includes 13 of his mathematical works.
He was gifted since childhood and had a photographic memory.
At the age of 9, I read "Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art" and became interested in mathematics.
He started writing poetry at the age of 13.
At the age of 14, he taught himself the first six volumes of Geometry.
In 1845, he published "The Mystery of Square and Circle", "The Secret of Arc and Arrow" and "The Origin of Logarithms".
In 1846, he published "Solutions of Four Elements" in two volumes.
In 1848, he published the three volumes of "Linde Calendar Interpretation".
In 1852, he and the Englishman Alexander Wylie translated the last nine volumes of Geometry.
In 1859, the 13 volumes of "Algebra", the 18 volumes of "Ten Steps to Algebraic and Calculus" and the 18 volumes of "Conversation" translated by him and others were published!
He also translated 20 volumes of "The Study of Weights" and 3 volumes of "The Theory of Conic Sections" with Joseph Edkins.
He also collaborated with Alexander Wylie and John Fryer to translate Newton's masterpiece, Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy.
He created many mathematical terms and terminology in his translations, such as differentials and functions, which are still used today!
In 1867, he published "Zegusi Zhai Mathematics" in Nanjing.
During his tenure as the chief instructor of astronomy and mathematics at the Tongwenguan in Beijing, he reviewed mathematics textbooks such as "Tongwenguan Mathematics Courses" and "Tongwenguan Abacus", and he is worthy of being called the originator of modern mathematics education in China!
The second great person is Xu Shou.
He is from Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, 33 years old this year, and is the most famous scientist in the late Qing Dynasty.
He translated books such as "The Principles of Chemistry", "The Examination of Chemistry", "The Continuation of the Principles of Chemistry", "The Supplement of the Principles of Chemistry", "Chemical Calculation", and "The Theory of Changes in the Heat Transfer of Objects".
The periodic table of chemical elements that everyone uses today was translated by him.
The Chinese translations he created for sodium, calcium, nickel, zinc, manganese, cobalt, and magnesium are still in use today.
He was also a pioneer of China's modern shipbuilding industry.
He, Hua Hengfang and others built China's first steam engine.
They also built a steam-powered wooden ship, the "Huanghu".
He made an indelible contribution to the change of the original black powder to maroon gunpowder.
He also experimented with producing saltpeter smokeless gunpowder and fulminate of mercury as an explosive.
He is recognized as the "Father of Modern Chemistry".
The "Gezhi Huibian" he edited and published is of great significance to the development of natural science in China.
He was born in 1818 and died in 1884 at the age of 67.
The third awesome person is Hua Hengfang.
He is only 18 years old this year and he was admitted with a major in mathematics.
Historically, he was a mathematician, scientist, translator and educator in the late Qing Dynasty.
He loved mathematics, and when he was studying in Shanghai, Li Shanlan recommended Western algebra and calculus to him.
