Soaring Front: World War I Chapter 334 Highest Honor

A bloodbath is about to take place in Ziz's cold and rainy night.At the same time, in the No. 1 auditorium of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Daxing County, Beijing, an award ceremony for the highest honor in the empire's scientific and technological circles was going on.This is the first science and technology award ceremony in the history of the empire personally authorized by Guan Xuqing. Today, Guan Xuqing also came to the award ceremony with great interest. The award he wants to present is the highest technology award that symbolizes the highest technological achievement of the empire in the past year. This time The award will be presented to the great man who started the aviation dream of the empire and the world, the Wright Brothers.The bonus is an unprecedented 200 million yuan!

The National Highest Science and Technology Award is the highest honor in the empire's scientific and technological circles, but to win this crown, it needs to go through many screenings.Under Guan Xuqing's initiative, the newly appointed Minister of Science and Technology, Kang Guangren, who is known as the chief designer of the Empire's science and technology, led the new team. After more than a month of arduous research, they finally handed over the empire's highest technology to Guan Xuqing. The "flow chart" of the birth of the award.

In the first step, provincial and municipal local governments recommend candidates.

In the second step, the academicians and experts of the Imperial Academy of Sciences evaluate and score the recommended candidates.

In the third step, the review committee of the Empire's Highest Technology Award will conduct the selection.

In the fourth step, the Standing Committee of the National Science and Technology Awards conducts the review.

In the fifth step, the Ministry of Science and Technology of the Empire conducts approval.

In the sixth step, the imperial cabinet ministers discuss and approve.

Part Seven, His Majesty the Emperor Zhu approved the reward edict and issued bonuses.

The Standing Committee of the Imperial Science and Technology Award is responsible for the macro-management and guidance of the award, employs relevant experts and scholars to form a review committee, is responsible for the review work and puts forward review suggestions to the Standing Committee.The Minister of Science and Technology, Kang Guangren, serves as the Chief Minister and Assistant Minister of the Standing Committee, and 15 to 20 persons in charge of science and technology, education and other relevant departments, famous scientists and relevant experts serve as members to ensure the scientificity, fairness and authority of the selection work.The candidates for the composition are proposed by the Ministry of Science and Technology and reported to the cabinet and the emperor for approval.In order to ensure the fairness of the highest science and technology award, the judging committee implements a ballot method, and each judging member must be responsible for his own vote.To be valid, a two-thirds majority of the members present must be passed.

The fairest and strictest selection mechanism in the world today was born in China. In the next 20 years, this mechanism has had a profound impact on the development of political systems in Europe and the United States.This is a well-established selection mechanism, with clear division of labor among departments and clear procedures.No one will doubt the authenticity and impartiality of the winners produced under this system.The Wright Brothers' award was something everyone expected. Their achievements almost captured the hearts of all the judges, and the final voting rate exceeded 90%. This result made Guan Xuqing proud of them.

The first important award to be awarded was the Imperial Natural Science Achievement Award. The winner was John Holland, in special recognition of his outstanding contribution to the Imperial Coastal Defense.

Known as the "Father of the Modern Submarine", John Holland was born in Ireland in 1841.From a poor family, he entered a school to learn English, and three years later entered a middle school.At this time, Huo Lan's father died of illness, so he had to end his studies and go to a school as a science teacher.During his teaching career, Holland became interested in submarines, which were new at the time, and began designing them. In 1873, Holland resigned from his job as a teacher and went to the United States with some drawings of submarines he designed. One day in 1875, Holland sent his plan to build a new type of submarine to the U.S. Navy to fight against the British.However, the U.S. Navy still remembers the disaster caused by the "Wisdom Whale" submarine three years ago, and categorically rejected Holland's plan.Some people even said, "No one would go to the bottom of the sea to die in this thing."

However, the stubborn Huo Lan did not back down in the face of setbacks.He was invited to China with his dream of an undersea kingdom, and was respected and supported by all Chinese below the emperor.After three years of hard work, Holland finally sent his first modern submarine, the Holland 3, into the water in 1894. The submarine is about 6 meters long, equipped with a 15-kilowatt gasoline engine and a battery-powered battery. The electric motor adopts a dual propulsion system. When navigating on the water surface, it is powered by a gasoline engine, and its speed can reach 33 knots per hour, and its endurance has reached 7 nautical miles. nautical miles, with an endurance of 1000 nautical miles.The weapon is a bow torpedo tube (with 5 torpedoes) and two cannons, one with the muzzle forward and the other with the muzzle backward.The boat can launch torpedoes underwater, sail smoothly on water, dive quickly and maneuver flexibly.Holland 50 is a milestone in the history of submarine development and is recognized as "the originator of modern submarines".

The second important award is the Imperial Science and Technology Invention Award, which is undisputedly awarded to Maxim, the father of automatic weapons.

Maxim, whose full name is Hiram Stevens Maxim, invented the super land combat killing weapon Maxim machine gun. He is known as the father of automatic weapons and one of the greatest mechanical geniuses in history.

He was born in an ordinary and poor family in Maine, USA on February 1840, 2.Like most self-taught people, Ma Keqin did not have enough money to receive a better education and relied entirely on his own hard work. At the age of 5, he was apprenticed in a carriage workshop, where he built a small wooden boat and a horse-drawn rake.At that time, he basically worked 14 hours a day. This early arduous apprenticeship not only honed Maxim's will, but also taught him many skills, which were very beneficial to his future development.A few months after producing the rake machine, he went on a short-term travel and hunting with his brother, which not only exercised his body, but also gave him a preliminary understanding of the structure of weapons, which laid a solid foundation for his future work. The foundations were laid for the development of weapons.

Later, after several trips in Europe, Maxim came to China. After countless tests and improvements, a large ammunition chain with a length of 6.4 meters and a capacity of 333 rounds was successfully developed.The feeding mechanism designed by Maxim can pull the belt to automatically pass through the feeding port. This experimental machine gun is equipped with an external rate of fire controller and a firing device.

Since the first Maxim machine gun came out, there have been many different types of Maxim machine guns. The big ones are heavy machine guns that require two people to carry them on the march, and the small ones are light machine guns that can be picked up with one hand. The 1893 Maxim machine gun is the world's first automatic weapon that uses gunpowder gas as energy to complete an automatic cycle, and it is also the world's earliest water-cooled machine gun.The advent of this machine gun is an important milestone in the history of world weapon development.It is precisely because of Maxim's excellent weapon development capabilities that the empire's land combat strength has been unprecedentedly improved.He is an excellent weapon designer. The Maxim machine gun he designed and invented created a new era in the development of automatic weapons in the world.

ps: Regarding the issue of sending troops to Europe, this is how I think about it. Guan Xuqing has repeatedly said that China needs friends on the road to its rise, and he can no longer refuse the Kaiser’s request. More importantly, China’s sending troops is an act of seeking benefits. One is to showcase China’s advanced weapons and further open up the European arms market (there is no conflict between war and arms business), and the other is to take advantage of this opportunity to infiltrate military forces into the European continent. After the war in the future, Guan Xuqing will not easily Withdrawing soldiers from Europe, he wants to build a military base there, and the third is to help push Europe further into the abyss of war. Anyway, the battlefield is not in China. The more intense the fight, the better. Only by completely destroying Europe will the future to rebuild better.Before I knew it, I told the story behind, haha.

Soaring Front: World War I Chapter 335 Highest Honor

"Only a parrot chatters, but it can never fly high." ——The Wright Brothers Awards Ceremony was grand and solemn. Under the eyes of everyone expecting, Guan Xuqing walked slowly onto the podium. He will present the most important award ceremony in today's celebration. The award, the highest science and technology award of the empire.He personally handed over two gold medals with his portrait and a bank deposit certificate symbolizing 200 yuan to the Wright Brothers, and encouraged them to continue fighting for the empire's aerospace industry.The Wright brothers were so grateful that they put aside their lofty arrogance and knelt down to accept the emperor's medal and bonus.

Minister of Science and Technology Kang Guangren read the Wright Brothers' resumes and outstanding achievements on the spot.

"Flying in the sky like a bird has been the dream of mankind since ancient times. In order to realize this dream, people have paid for many years of unremitting efforts, even at the cost of the lives of many pioneers. Finally, in May 1896, the Wright brothers realized the dream of mankind. The greatest dream in history, the era of human flight has begun.”

Wilbur Wright was born on April 1867, 4, and his younger brother Orville Wright was born on August 16, 1871. They had a strong interest in mechanical assembly and flying since they were young, and they were engaged in bicycle repair and manufacturing .The Wright brothers originally repaired bicycles for a living, and the brothers had always aspired to create the first flying machine in human history.

Later, they came to China with great dreams and great setbacks. The emperor gave them various conditions to display their ambitions. After many studies and experiments, they quickly came to a conclusion: to solve the unresolved problem of aircraft manipulation. The key problem, must be equipped with some kind of mechanical device that can make the aerodynamics work.In repeated gliding experiments, the Wright brothers discovered that the center of pressure turned sideways—the center of pressure on a curved airfoil does not always move in one direction like the center of pressure on a flat airfoil.This major discovery is contrary to the thesis of many technical books. Many data about the pressure of the atmosphere on the wings that scientists have obtained are actually incorrect!In the second half of 1895, the Wright Brothers built the world's first wind tunnel capable of accurately testing model wings. They used the wind tunnel for more than 200 tests of various types of airfoils in more than two months, and achieved A whole set of scientific data, which eventually became the cornerstone of the birth of the aircraft.

According to this idea, they carried out several years of arduous experiments on manned glider over the Northwest Lop Nur. Finally, on May 1896, 5, their dream finally became a reality, the first manned aircraft in human history. Number 14 was born.

So far, the entire award ceremony has come to an end.

Next, Guan Xuqing delivered an impassioned speech: "First of all, I would like to congratulate the three winners of the National Science and Technology Award. In the past year, under the shadow of world war, the world economy was in deep recession, even under such circumstances Under the current situation, the empire still maintains strong economic growth and maintains social harmony and stability. One of our important experiences in dealing with this crisis is to base ourselves on the current situation, focus on the long-term, and take strengthening scientific and technological support as the main component of revitalizing the economy and military. Increase investment in science and technology, promote technological transformation, accelerate the implementation of major scientific and technological projects, advance deployment, and vigorously cultivate strategic emerging industries. These measures have played a very important role in curbing the economic downturn and cultivating emerging industries. This is an unprecedented period in human history. This is a major crisis, no matter for world politics, economy, military affairs, or diplomacy. To overcome the crisis and achieve economic recovery depends on the power of science and technology. Technological innovation is not only a powerful weapon to deal with this crisis, but also an inexhaustible source of lasting prosperity for the empire. Power. We must always closely follow the development trend of world economy and science and technology, focus on breakthroughs in cutting-edge scientific issues that drive technological revolution and promote industrial revitalization, and breakthroughs in strategic high-tech issues that enhance international competitiveness and maintain national security; vigorously develop strategic emerging industries. We It is necessary to build a scientific and technological team with a large scale, reasonable structure and high quality, strive to cultivate world-class scientists and leading scientific and technological talents, and promote the development of the empire to embark on the track of innovation-driven and endogenous growth as soon as possible.”

He paused and continued: "The three scientists awarded today have made outstanding contributions to the scientific and technological progress of the empire and the world, which I and the people of the empire will always remember. The establishment of this science and technology award marks the development of cutting-edge technology in the empire. , the determination to build a world-class scientific and technological team, I am very confident that in the next three years, the center of gravity of the world scientific and technological revolution will shift from the UK to China!"

Guan Xuqing's remarks won warm applause from the officials present at the meeting and Chinese and foreign journalists.He stepped down from the central podium and sat in the front row of the viewing platform under the secret protection of agents from the Security Bureau.The following is a detailed report by Minister of Science and Technology Kang Guangren on the development of science and technology in the world and the development of science and technology in the empire.

While listening to Kang Guangren's scientific and technological work report, Guan Xuqing was thinking about something, and accidentally saw a young man sitting on the edge of the front row, with his head drooping, looking absent-minded.

Guan Xuqing smiled and said to the staff around him: "Call that young man to me, I want to ask questions."

Not long, the man was led by the staff to come before the emperor, he bowed deeply, his expression was respectful but a little nervous, his hands were trembling while grabbing the corners of his clothes.

"Sit down." Guan Xuqing pointed to the empty seat beside him and said to the young man.

The young man was taken aback for a moment, he couldn't believe what the emperor said, he actually sat with His Majesty the emperor, this kind of honor was not even enjoyed by the three winners just now.

"Sit down." Guan Xuqing said again with a smile, and the young man hesitated to sit beside the emperor, but his expression and demeanor became more tense.

"You don't seem to be particularly concerned about this awards ceremony. I want to know what you think of the winners this time?" Guan Xuqing asked.

"Your Majesty, these three science awards are all giants in the field of science and technology in the world. They deserve this award. I always have great respect and admiration for them. They will always be my roadmap." Young The man replied respectfully.

Guan Xuqing nodded: "Have you ever thought that one day you will stand on this podium?"

The young man's expression changed immediately, he looked at the emperor in surprise, and said after a while, "Impossible, absolutely impossible..."

"Why is it impossible? Don't you have any confidence in yourself?"

The young man sighed slightly: "Your Majesty, you know that my theory has been dismissed as heresy by the scientific community. I have traveled to Berlin and Paris, visited the veterans of the scientific and technological circles in many countries, and introduced my theory to them, but the result But... Alas. Your Majesty, to be honest, I don’t even have confidence in myself now. I didn’t expect His Majesty to arrange me to sit in the front row of this celebration, sitting with Karl Benz and other scientific masters. I don’t understand why Why?"

Guan Xuqing patted the young man on the shoulder: "People all over the world don't believe in you. I believe in you. You have to have confidence in yourself. I believe that one day your scientific research results will change the world. The name Einstein will be remembered by all."

The young man was stunned, looking at Guan Xuqing speechlessly for a long time...

At this time, Zhao Bingjun, who was anxious, walked through the dim lights of the auditorium, came to the emperor gently, bent down and whispered for a while, Guan Xuqing suddenly changed his face, finally nodded, got up and left under the protection of Zhao Bingjun and a group of military personnel Take your seat and head to the foyer at the back of the auditorium.

In the lounge, Guan Xuqing said with a gloomy expression, "Is the information you got accurate?"

"It's absolutely true." Zhao Bingjun said firmly.

Guan Xuqing took a deep breath: "Wang Feng is really a lunatic. That barracks is located in the center of the British and French coalition forces. He dared to go deep into the tiger's den alone. Sometimes I don't know what he is thinking... "

Chize, France, rainy night in the jungle near the Petit Morin dam military camp.

The war wolves and the vanguard were lying in the grass, staring at the French barracks in front without blinking. At this time, the barracks was in chaos. Hundreds of angry Frenchmen pointed their rifles at the barracks behind A wooden house rushed forward, and the sound of gunfire rang through the sky, mixed with the sound of French shouts and chaotic footsteps.Wolf Warrior looked down at his watch. At 1:40, it was only 10 minutes before the arrival of the airship.

"We can't wait any longer. If this goes on, the sharp knife and the hostages will be in danger." Zhan Lang gritted his teeth and said.

A team member beside him said: "But the battle plan is drawn up in advance. If it is changed temporarily, in case of accidents, the sharp knife will definitely turn his face!"

"I can't control that much. If we don't move out now, whoever will be responsible if the sharp knife is in danger, the whole plan will collapse." The war wolf turned his head, and his sharp eyes swept over the faces of the ten members of the first group one by one. However, everyone nodded and decided to follow the advice of Wolf Warrior and take the initiative to attack!

"Attention all teams, the first team is ready to fight and enter the target location immediately." The correspondent immediately notified the other two teams by radio.

The second and third teams immediately called back: "We are also ready for combat, and we will advance to the periphery of the target in one minute, and do a good job of combat cover and response."

"Follow me!" Wolf Warrior spit out the grass roots he was chewing in one mouthful, and rushed towards the barracks with the members of the first group with a wave of his hand.

At the same time, hundreds of French guards who were in charge of holding the hostages had surrounded the wooden house where Jiandao and Shao Lizhuo were staying. One of the officers shouted loudly at the wooden house: "Listen, people inside, no matter who you are, now Please put down your weapons and come out and surrender, or we will shoot!"
