Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Bo Rui thought that after defeating Jiuzao, he would be able to secure the victory, and the most powerful Chinese seemed to have no intention of bidding, which made him completely relieved. When he was complacent, Qiao Zhiyong's Throat, almost knocked him off the chair. 1000 million!Can I still exceed this number?Maybe it's okay, but if you grit your teeth and continue to increase the price, you will become a complete pauper. At that time, even if you get this gold mine, it will be meaningless.Burry stomped his feet anxiously and left the scene angrily.

Stephen King finally announced happily: "The No. 1 gold mining right on the Dajin River belongs to Mr. Qiao Zhiyong."

The scene burst into warm applause, even those gold diggers who got nothing.I also have to be impressed by Qiao Zhiyong's unparalleled financial resources and the extreme in the auction field.Amid the applause, Qiao Zhiyong signed a mining contract with Romande. From this moment, he and his Qiao Group officially became the owners of the Idaho gold mine!

Beijing, Qianqing Palace.

Guan Xuqing happily received several foreigners, accompanied by Kang Guangren, Minister of Science and Technology of the Empire.With such an interview level, one can imagine how much Guan Xuqing valued these foreigners.

After Kang Guangren bowed to the emperor, he introduced: "Your Majesty, it took you more than half a year for me to invite these scientists to Beijing. They heard that you ordered the invitation, so they all went happily. Let me introduce..." He pointed to the brown-haired middle-aged man on the left and said: "This is the Swedish scientist Laval, the inventor of the single-stage impact steam turbine. He studied at Stockholm University of Technology and Uppsala University. Invented the single-stage impulsive steam turbine in 1882. Seven years later, he obtained the British patent for the expansion nozzle. He made contributions to the study of nozzle shape, nozzle design and strength design. "

Laval respectfully bowed to Guan Xuqing: "Your Majesty the Great Emperor, I am extremely honored to meet you."

Guan Xuqing smiled and nodded.

Kang Guangren pointed to the man with messy hair in the middle again, and introduced: "This is the Russian scientist Tsiolkovsky, who can be called the founder of astronautics and rocket theory. He has been working since 1880. Researched the basic principles of airships, streamlined aircraft, air cushion trains and interstellar rockets. Three years ago published the world's first jet motion theory book "Using Jet Tools to Study Space", and proposed the concept and schematic diagram of liquid propellant rockets , and deduced the formula for calculating the speed increase of the rocket during the engine operation under the ideal situation without considering the aerodynamic force and the earth's gravity, which laid a theoretical foundation for the study of rockets and liquid rocket engines."

Tsiolkovsky said respectfully: "Your Majesty the Great Emperor, you have always been the person I respect and desire to see the most."

Guan Xuqing looked up and laughed loudly: "Welcome to China."

Resurgence: World War II Chapter 469 The Rocket Program

Kang Guangren also introduced: "This is Obert, a scientist from Germany. He was conscripted into the Austro-Hungarian Army during the World War and interrupted his studies, but he focused on the basic theoretical research of space navigation. He was engaged in rocket research at the Vienna Academy of Engineering, and later developed fuel pumps for liquid rockets at the University of Dresden, but his main interest was in solid rockets, and he was the absolute authority in German rocket research.”

"This is the American scientist Goddard, a famous American professor, engineer and inventor, and the main researcher of liquid rockets."

Kang Guangren said to the emperor: "These four scientists have one thing in common. They are all influenced by Jules Verne's novel "From the Earth to the Moon" and became obsessed with interstellar travel."

Guan Xuqing was very happy. The four people in front of him were hailed as the founders of the modern rocket industry by later generations. Kang Guangren lived up to expectations and invited all four of them to Beijing in one fell swoop. In the future, the aviation industry of the empire will develop rapidly. "I have admired the four names for a long time, and I have always wanted to meet you. I never thought that my wish would finally come true today."

The four bowed together and said, "Your Majesty, you are too polite. It is our lifetime honor to meet a great emperor like you."

Aubert said with a look of embarrassment: "Your Majesty really flattered me. In fact, I am not as you praised. During the Second German Empire, my situation in Germany was already relatively difficult. At that time, I felt The development of vehicles for space flight is no longer a speculation, and will soon become a reality. Only rockets can fly in space without air, and people can fly in space with this kind of aircraft and can guarantee safety. That year , I submitted a paper entitled "Rocket Flying to Interstellar Space" to Heidelberg University, but I did not expect that the paper was judged by the German scientific community at that time to be the most unrealistic fantasy. I was not reconciled, so I took My theoretical research results have traveled to all universities in Berlin and Munich, and sold my theories to the government, but unfortunately, I was not recognized by the scientific community, only the little Mao Qi, who was the chief of the general staff of the Ministry of War, saw it Curious about my book, I was interviewed and offered a vacant post at the War Department. After all these years, the government and the military apparently did not take my theories seriously. Funding, and second, I don’t give my assistants. In the eyes of others, I am like a whimsical and grandstanding clown. Now that the Kaiser has stepped down, the government controlled by Hindenburg kicked me out of the military department in one fell swoop. I have no choice but to fall down Munich, working as a teacher in a local elementary school. At this time, Mr. Kang sent someone to find me and warmly invited me to develop in China. I have long known that you are a wise monarch, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences has long been famous In the world, but I never dreamed that I would be interviewed by you in person this time, I was really surprised."

American Goddard said with deep empathy: "Yes, my experience is very similar to that of Mr. Aubert except for the influence of Jules Verne's science fiction masterpiece on me. I have been reading Will since I was 16 years old." I started to have a strong interest in space after reading the science fiction novel "Interstellar War" written by Adams. When I looked up at the eastern sky, I suddenly thought how wonderful it would be if we could make an aircraft and fly to Mars! I imagined that there would be such a This gadget can fly from the ground to the blue sky. From then on, I seemed to be a different person and set a goal in life. The difference from Mr. Oberth was that I became obsessed with liquid fuel Rocket research as power. The whole world knows that the original rocket was invented by the clever Chinese, but for more than 1000 years, people's interest in rockets has never seemed to increase. I hope to turn this dream into reality. Initially My energy is concentrated on the research of rockets powered by solid fuels, and I have experimented with several miniature rockets and achieved success. I tried to promote this achievement to the US government and military, but was rejected and ridiculed Because it's whimsical and stupid, and no company is willing to invest in my research. I often work through the night and finally understand how to make a rocket fly higher than anything. But I am too tired and sick I fell down and had to stop working and received treatment. After examination, I was suffering from tuberculosis. The doctor said I could only live for another two weeks and gave me a long-term rest. But I really want to live, I can't die, I want to work. Two weeks later, I really didn't die, so I started working again. Although the disease didn't break me down, I began to doubt my original choice in the face of people's incomprehension. At this time, officials from the Ministry of Science and Technology of China Contacted me and invited me to China. I know that China is a magical country, where there are world science giants such as the Curie couple, Karl Benz, John Nolan, and even the great Wright Brothers. It is you who let They have realized their lifelong ideals, which is what every scientist dreams of, so I came here without any hesitation, willing to use all my talents to serve His Majesty the Great Emperor for the rest of my life."

Next, the Swiss scientist Laval and the Russian Tsiolkovsky also expressed the same wish.

Guan Xuqing said with emotion: "Yesterday's dream is today's hope and tomorrow's reality. A great invention will always face people's incomprehension in one way or another when it starts, but time will prove your greatness. If you If you are willing to stay in China, I am willing to provide you with all the conditions you need, if others don’t believe you, I will always believe in you!”

The four down-and-out scientists were all moved beyond words when they heard the words of the Chinese emperor.

Kang Guangren smiled and said: "His Majesty the emperor of our country is the most enlightened monarch in the world, and he respects science more than any other emperor. If you stay in China, you will realize your dreams like the Wright Brothers, because Our Emperor will give you a pair of wings to soar into the sky!"

"We are willing, Your Majesty, I sincerely wish to stay in China and serve you and China's scientific cause. This is our wish and our honor!" The four said in unison.

"Okay. That being the case, from now on, you will work in the Imperial Academy of Sciences, which is under the management of the Ministry of Science and Technology. The four of you will start to form a rocket research institute, and focus on the development of the rocket project. This plan will serve as the successor to the aircraft development plan. Afterwards, one of the most important scientific research projects of the empire, I will provide you with 200 million yuan of scientific research funding every year, if it is not enough, the Ministry of Science and Technology will add more at any time."

"Enough, enough, Your Majesty, this money is enough..."

"Your Majesty, I don't think rocket technology is as insurmountable as people think. First, with the current level of scientific knowledge, it is possible to create a machine that can fly to the earth. The altitude above the atmosphere, of course we can call it a rocket or a space launcher. Second, after further improvement, this machine can reach such a speed that it can go unhindered into the ether space without returning to the earth, and even able to escape the gravitational pull of the earth. Thirdly, such a machine can be manufactured to carry people without endangering their safety. Fourthly, under certain conditions, it is beneficial to manufacture such a machine. Such conditions are expected It has developed and matured in decades. Fuel consumption, gas consumption speed, rocket speed, gravity during launch, flight duration and flight distance, etc., these relationships are the most basic factors in rocket design.” Oberth is full of his vision. confidence, but also urgently hope that the emperor can understand and support his idea.

"For a long time, like everyone else, I thought of rockets as a toy with little use. I have trouble recalling exactly how I started computing problems about rockets. For me, the first The seeds of a spaceflight idea were sown by Jules Verne's fanciful novels, and they formed a definite direction in my head. I began to make it a serious activity. During my studies in Moscow, I At the age of [-], I suddenly thought of using centrifugal force. This made me extremely excited, thinking that I had discovered the way to interstellar space. At that time, I was so happy that I was crazy. Could not sleep. Slowly wandering the streets of Moscow, I kept thinking about the great significance of this discovery. But at dawn the next day, I finally realized that my reasoning was wrong. Later, in the process of self-study, I mastered Newton's third law. This seemingly simple principle of action and reaction suddenly enlightened me. I can give an example to your Majesty. If a hole is opened at one end of a barrel filled with high-pressure gas, the gas will pass through this small hole. It is ejected and produces a reaction force to the barrel, so that the barrel moves in the opposite direction. This is the image description of the principle of rocket flight. In the second year, in my thesis "Free Space", I formally proposed the use of reaction devices as space The propulsion power of travel tools, my qualitative explanation for this kind of rocket power is: the theoretical basis of rocket motion is Newton's third law and the law of energy conservation." Tsiolkovsky's voice was full of fanatical religiousism Passion, for down-and-out scientists like them, they need to find someone who understands them to talk about.

Next, Laval and Goddard also elaborated their views on the principle of rockets.

Guan Xuqing listened quietly, nodding from time to time in agreement.It wasn't until the four of them had finished speaking that they said: "What you all said is very reasonable. I can see that you all have in-depth research on rockets and aerospace. Of course, everyone understands the problem from a different angle, which may cause problems. There are some discrepancies in your views, but every scientific research leads to the same goal in the end. As long as you can gather your thoughts and use your common talents, the rocket project will definitely become a reality in a short time. The reason why I value this project is, It is because the rocket will open the empire's dream of conquering outer space. The rocket is just a breakthrough. When the rocket is developed in the future, we can install bombs on it and it will become a super weapon. We only need to sit on the ground and control it. To carry out precise strikes anywhere in the world. Installing instruments and equipment for manned experiments can become the best tool for space science research, and can even predict weather conditions and launch space probes. In short, I I have high hopes for you, and hope that you can use your ingenuity to realize this dream as soon as possible."

The four of them respectfully said together: "We will definitely do our best and devote all our talents to realize the aviation dream of the empire as soon as possible."

Resurgence: The Second World War Chapter 4 Seventy Yuan Mansion Birthday Banquet

Singapore Gold and Silver Hutong, the new residence of Yuan Mansion.

On this day, the whole of Singapore was immersed in a sea of ​​celebration, and the two ends of Jinyin Hutong were set up with colorful sheds, lion dancers, firecrackers, and opera singers, because this day is the 42nd birthday of Governor Yuan Shikai , Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos and many other political and military dignitaries and celebrities gathered together to celebrate Yuan Shikai's birthday.

Of course, Yuan Shikai was the absolute protagonist of the day. He was wearing a red-and-yellow brocade jacket with five flowers and dragons tailored for him by Beijing Ruifuxiang Silk and Satin Co. The oily emerald ring finger, it is said that this ring finger alone is invaluable. It was the best Burmese jade bestowed by the emperor at that time. Yuan Shikai sat in the main hall of his new house beaming, accepting the congratulations from the birthday celebrations from various provinces in Southeast Asia. His expression and demeanor are like that of a local emperor.

Seeing that the sun was approaching noon, Yuan Shikai was excited on the surface, but his heart was extremely anxious, because he was waiting for the arrival of two people. If these two people did not come to Singapore, the series of carefully designed traps would come to nothing. However, this big birthday is nothing more than a farce.After finally dismissing the French envoy, Yuan Shikai rubbed his brows vigorously, his mind was buzzing, and he said to Duan Zhigui, "Tell Liang Shiyi and the others to be responsible for receiving visitors. I want to rest for a while."

After Duan Zhigui made arrangements, he turned back and said to Yuan Shikai, "Godfather, are you still anxious about those two people? Don't worry, they will definitely come."

Yuan Shikai raised his tired eyes and said lightly, "How can you be so sure?"

"Hey, just because of your kindness to them in the past, they don't think they will refute your face. Besides, your birthday is unprecedented. With so many guests from all over the world, what reason do they dare not treat you The heroes and important ministers of the empire pay attention to it. You see, even the emperor personally sent a telegram to congratulate you..."

Yuan Shikai frowned: "What do you know? It would be better if the emperor kept his face. I don't know what to do with him."

"Oh? Godfather, the emperor sent a telegram to celebrate his birthday, which shows that he relies heavily on you. Why is he not sure?" Duan Zhigui was a little puzzled.

Yuan Shikai sighed softly: "Xiangyan, do you know the emperor? Don't forget that I have been with the emperor for several years, and you haven't thought about it. Is Southeast Asia just a province of Singapore, as well as Malaysia, Vietnam, and Myanmar?" , Laos and other provinces, the governors there also celebrated their birthdays, but who did the emperor celebrate their birthdays?"

Duan Zhigui thought for a while, then shook his head.

"Yes, this shows that the emperor has already put his heart on me, Yuan Shikai, which means that we are not far from catastrophe!"

As soon as these words came out, Duan Zhigui shivered in shock, and said in a trembling voice: "Godfather, are you over-concerned? This may mean that the emperor relies on you the most. You think there are many governors in Southeast Asia, but Who has such a high prestige and qualifications in the court, although Singapore is not a big place, it is the gateway to the sea and the lifeline of Asia, even the emperor has to be in awe of you."

Yuan Shikai let out a long breath and said: "I hope so. But I always have an ominous premonition that we must step up our actions. Because Singapore is far away from Beijing, even if the emperor wants to take action against us, it will be too far away for a while, so we will We must seize the time to seize the military power in the South China Sea as soon as possible. What I am most worried about now is that those two people will not come. If that is the case, this matter will be much more difficult. If we have to hold a military remonstrance one day, maybe they will not support it. He will also assist the imperial court to stab my old Yuan from the back, and at that time, we will be attacked from both sides, not to mention major incidents, and our heads may not be saved."

Duan Zhigui was about to say something more, but the housekeeper Liu Zhongji walked in in a panic and said to Yuan Shikai: "The two governors of Malaysia and Singapore are here!"

"Oh? Come on, follow me to greet you grandly." Yuan Shikai had been looking forward to the arrival of the two of them, but now that they really arrived, he was a little panicked, tidied up his clothes and hat, and accompanied by Duan Zhigui and Liu Zhongji, came quickly Greet you at the door.

The two Beijing cars dispatched by the Governor's Mansion honked twice and stopped in front of Yuan's new house with a "squeak". Get out of the car and come two extraordinary people.

The person who got off from the first car was of medium build, relatively thin, with shiny Western-style parted hair, wearing a gray suit, wearing a pair of black sunglasses, holding a civilized stick in his hand, and two curls under his nose The slightly curled black beard looks like a dignitary, and his voice is sharper when he speaks: "Governor Yuan, the students have kept you waiting for a long time." This person is the Governor of Malaysia, Duan Qirui.

The person who got off the second car was much taller and taller, even a bit thick-backed, with a square face and brown-black skin, he looked a little arrogant, but he spoke very politely, and he cupped his hands to Yuan Shikai: "Student Feng Guozhang is late, forgive me!"

Yuan Shikai laughed loudly, and each of them took a hand from the two of them. The three of them walked into the gate of Yuan's new house while talking and laughing.At this time, although the Jinyin Hutong was lively, there were heavily armed soldiers guarding the front and back, and it was impossible for ordinary people to enter, not even a fly to fly in.

The three of them didn't stay elsewhere, but went straight to the quiet courtyard of the back house. Duan Qirui praised as he walked, "My lord is really becoming more and more elegant. The front yard is very grand, but there is something different here. Two different worlds can be described as a blessed land of immortals. Haha..." He didn't know that a bloody case had just happened here a few days ago, and Fan Xuecheng, the commander of the Ninth Army, and more than 100 innocent souls under his command were sleeping here.

"That's right, although Master Yuan has been a soldier all his life, he has always had the elegance of a literati. We are here this time, and we are also here to soak up your elegance." Feng Guozhang also flattered the horse.

Yuan Shikai smiled and shook his head: "It's no good, I'm old. Look at Yuan Mou's temples for a few years. The two of you are in the prime of life, and the world will depend on you in the future. Yuan Shikai So-and-so is now concentrating on admiring the flowers and enjoying the moon, and only loves the poetry and romance. As long as you don’t make fun of my sour prose, I’ll be content. Hehe..."

After all, the three of them laughed together.

Yuan Shikai had been secretly observing Duan and Feng since he entered the door, but seeing them chatting and laughing freely, he didn't seem to have much guard against him. Instead, he still respected his old superior as always in his words, and he never forgot how he supported them back then. Well, so a hanging heart finally let go of half.

When they came to the main room, there were still the three beautiful women who served Fan Xuecheng last time, and they stepped forward to treat each other attentively.Yuan Shikai raised his glass and said: "It's rare that we are destined to meet again, and it's also rare that you still have a sincere friend to Yuan. I, Yuan, can't thank you enough. Life is short, and there is no trace of a dream. I miss you back then. The three of us galloped around the capital, chasing horses, what a heroic spirit. I, Yuan Shikai, owed a lot to the help of the two of you. Today is the reunion of old friends, which can be described as a great joy in life. Let's drink together first. With this cup, I wish you both smooth sailing in your official career and great achievements." Yuan Shikai raised his cup and drank it down, and Duan and Feng also drank it clean.

Duan Qirui picked up the second glass of wine and said to Yuan Shikai: "Yuan Gong, although you and I are on the same side at present, I, Duan Qirui, dare not forget all the support and love you have shown me in the past, and I have always cherished you. As my teacher and senior, I should come here to congratulate you on your birthday. I offer you a glass of wine, and wish you good health and revitalize your tiger in Singapore."

Yuan Shikai smiled and drank the glass of wine, Feng Guozhang also picked up the glass and said: "Mr. Yuan, I will never forget your kindness of supporting and supporting me. This time is your birthday, and the students have long heard that you like Literati calligraphy and painting, so I did everything possible to find a treasure, and I will offer you a small profit, which is not a respect, I hope you will accept it."
