Live streaming life: The ancients begged not to stop

The early morning wind was a little chilly, making Qi Cheng shiver when he came down to buy food. By the time he got home and warmed up, it was already past eight o'clock.

"The system will pick someone up."

"The Northern Song Dynasty Shi Chong version."

Qi Cheng took a look at the introduction of this person. Although he was not a big shot, he should have money.

The system introduces him as a maritime merchant in the Song Dynasty.

"Host, I've done a few experiments recently. Some were successful, some weren't. I'd like to ask if there are any famous experiments or inventions in later generations."

Qi Cheng asked if they wanted to replicate it in the Song Dynasty.

"That's not necessary. I know that the Song Dynasty's level is not very good, and some things are simply not available."

Song Dynasty

Zhao Kuangyin's face looked a little bad. What this person said was too harsh. What did he mean by "the level is not good enough".

Judging from these dynasties in history, the experimental environment of the Song Dynasty can be ranked among the top.

Perhaps the early Tang Dynasty was more open than the Song Dynasty.

......

"There are still many interesting experiments in the future. Let's talk about an experiment that loses money first."

"It's just a simple experiment of turning tribute into gold."

"The method they came up with was to irradiate Gong with gamma rays. After more than seventy days of implementation, this conjecture was finally successful."

"They ultimately collected over 700 grams of gold, but the experiment cost 150 million yen."

"That little bit of gold isn't even enough."

When they heard that other things could be turned into gold in the future, everyone outside the tent jumped up excitedly.

Isn’t this the golden touch you’ve always dreamed of?

Tang Dynasty

After seeing the end, the excited Li Shimin felt that his cheers were in vain. No one would do such a losing business.

I don’t know if the person who conducted the experiment was beaten in later generations. If this happened in the Tang Dynasty, he would probably have been demoted.

"Isn't there a silver mountain over there these days? Why do they still want this?"

"Aren't they on a small island? The resources are definitely not enough, so they are trying every possible way to enrich themselves."

Li Shimin nodded, feeling that there was some truth in it.

"Your Majesty, I think that although this experiment to create gold has some flaws, the spirit behind it is still worth mentioning. Moreover, when it comes to experiments like this, no one should know the outcome until the final step."

Li Chunfeng's words caused dissatisfaction among some ministers, so the two sides started arguing in the court.

Everyone thinks there is something wrong with what the other party said.

Li Shimin mediated and asked them to go back and think carefully about how experiments were conducted in later generations.

.......

"The following experiment can be said to be the longest experiment."

"Asphalt is a petroleum product. We usually use it to pave roads."

"The pitch drop is the world's longest-running physics experiment. It was first conducted by Professor Thomas Parnell at the University of Queensland in 1927 to demonstrate to students that the properties of matter are not as simple as they appear."

"Some substances appear solid but are actually very viscous liquids, such as asphalt, which flows very slowly at room temperature but eventually forms a drop."

“现在这项实验仍在继续，并可能持续数百年。从1944年7月11日开始，都柏林圣三一大学进行了类似的实验。在2013年7月11日，他们第一次拍到了沥青液滴的滴落。”

Looking at the pictures and videos found by the anchor, several ancient people who were interested in the experiment were staring intently.

It makes sense that technology has developed in later generations, as there are such unwavering scientists.

So touching.

Ming Dynasty

Zhu Di was a little confused. He felt that it didn't matter whether this thing was liquid or not.

However, he still admired these scientists in his heart. This was probably due to his curiosity.

Most people don't really have this kind of thinking.

"I wonder if there are such talents in our Ming Dynasty..."

Zheng He, who had just returned from his voyage, quickly pointed out that there were such people in the Ming Dynasty, as mentioned earlier when introducing the lunar craters.

There was a Wan Hu in the Ming Dynasty who even paid the price of his life for experiments.

Zhu Di patted his head. If Zheng He hadn't reminded him, he would have forgotten about this matter.

"Issue an order: Establish the Ming Dynasty Academy of Sciences. Wan Hu will serve as the honorary president. Each province is requested to recommend talented individuals."

Zhu Di felt that ordinary officials still had to take the imperial examination, but for scientific and technological talents, the system of recommendation could be implemented.

If this thing works, it works. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t work.

If the officials below commit fraud, they will be held accountable!

……

“Although this is not an experiment, it is also very interesting.”

Qi Cheng found a video on his tablet.

The invention and use of stainless steel can be traced back to World War I. At that time, British guns on the battlefield were often shipped back to the rear due to worn barrels. The military production department ordered Brearley to develop a high-strength, wear-resistant alloy steel specifically to address the problem of barrel wear.

Brearley and his assistants collected various types of steel and alloy steels from both domestic and international manufacturers, tested their performance on various machines, and then selected the most suitable steels for use in gun production. One day, they experimented with a steel alloy containing a large amount of chromium. After wear tests, they found that the alloy was not wear-resistant, indicating that it was unsuitable for use in gun production. They then recorded the results and tossed them away.

A few months later, an assistant came running up to Brearley with a shiny piece of steel and said, "Sir, this is the alloy steel that Mr. Maulana sent me when I was cleaning the warehouse. Would you like to experiment with it to see if it has any special effects?"

Experimental results proved that it was resistant to acids, alkalis, and salts. Brearley then pondered, "This wear-resistant but corrosion-resistant steel can't be used for guns, but could it be used for tableware?" He immediately took action, creating stainless steel fruit knives, forks, spoons, fruit bowls, and folding knives. Brearley's invention secured a British patent in 1916, and mass production began. From then on, this stainless steel, accidentally discovered in a garbage dump, became a global phenomenon, and Henry Brearley was hailed as the "Father of Stainless Steel."

Inadvertently insert willows and willows.

The people outside the sky thought carefully about whether they had such unused things in their hands.

In fact, it is useful in other places.

It turns out that the things invented in later generations were also somewhat accidental.

"We don't need to think about this, and we probably won't be able to make it, but this is indeed interesting. Later experiments don't all use various things to mix."

"Of course. Textbooks from later generations have physics and chemistry, so the experiments are definitely different."
