Chapter 190 Chen Han canonized!The Saint of Technology!Scholars all over the world won’t agree!
Chen Han's road construction plan will be carried out soon.
It is different from ordinary Ming Dynasty road construction.
Chen Han used a modern method, dividing a main road into two sides, building one side first, and leaving the other side free as a walking road.
In this way, there is no need for the ministries and Shangyuan County to open a separate road for officials to go to court and for the people to walk.
On the side where the road was to be built, Chen Han asked people to make a fence with cloth and wood to surround the construction site inside.
This is actually a trick.
When Chen Han wanted to build a road, he did not directly hollow out the entire road, but first laid gravel slurry on it.
On the one hand, it is to prevent pedestrians from stepping on the concrete when it is still wet.
On the other hand, it also makes everyone wonder how they build roads.
Reduce the trouble caused by officials knowing that they are simply fixing and constantly impeaching.
The effect was very good. After the fence was used, patrols were sent to patrol day and night. During the construction inside, the workers strictly abided by the requirements set by Chen Han to keep confidentiality.
Chen Han repaired these roads as a matter of course.
I have to say that Yingtianfu is also Jinling City. As an ancient capital, its infrastructure construction is quite complete.
Whether it is the underground pipe network or the cornerstone of the road, they are all constructed quite well.
You don't need to add much to build the road surface.
Chen Han used large packages of cement, and the road surface was immediately repaired and became extremely smooth.
This relatively private division of labor went quite smoothly.
Chen Han killed so many dandy boys, and His Majesty the Emperor even stood on his side and dismissed Zhan Hui, the Minister of Staff, and others from their official positions. Not many people dared to go against Chen Han anymore.
Chen Han's road construction plan is going very smoothly.
A month later, the road surface of Chang'an Street was repaired, the fence was lifted, and everyone saw a gray-white flat road.
This road is much smoother than the previous stone road.
It can be said that Chen Han spared no effort to build this road and built it wide and flat.
Moreover, the cement grade is relatively high. In an era without large vehicles running over it, this road can guarantee that it will not require any major repairs for at least 20 years.
Chen Han even asked workers to draw anti-slip lines on the cement pavement to make it look like a modern cement road.
When Lao Zhu and Prince Zhu Biao were completing the road, they not only led civil and military officials to walk back and forth on it, but the cement pavement was as solid as a rock when they stepped on it.
And it is much flatter than the previous stone road.
Civil and military officials discovered that the Chang'an Street road was more than 20 miles long, but it only took a mere month to repair it.
After the stone road was covered up, they did not see that the cement road was actually just [-] centimeters higher than the original foundation.
But even if someone knew about it, they were impressed that the cement invented by Chen Han was really powerful and didn't say much.
Chen Han also knew that victory was achieved without force, so he did not take all the credit on himself, but attributed all the credit to the efforts of the workers.
The workers were also rewarded by the emperor this time.
Everyone was rewarded with a lot of money.
If it were before, Yiguan Baoqian was really not a big deal of money.
For ordinary people, it may only be a year's income.
But now the consistent treasure banknotes can be exchanged for four hundred cents.
That is extremely valuable to them.
After this successful experience, civil and military officials will never mock Chen Han's half-year appointment again, which seems a bit exaggerated.
On the contrary, I felt that Chen Han was being a little more modest. It didn't take so long to renovate all the roads.
Then things became much more convenient. After Chen Han successfully built the entire Chang'an Street area located in the southeast corner of the inner city of the capital, he began to build other main roads.
In fact, there are only a few so-called main roads in the capital.
He has now completed the construction of Chang'an Street, and will next build Dazhong Street and Taiping Street from south to north, as well as Dazhong Street and Sanshan Street that run through Sanshanmen.
The reason why these two streets are important is first of all because there are countless shops arranged on this street.
The area from Sanshan Street to Doumen Bridge is mostly filled with fruit shops.
Dazhong Bridge, Beimen Bridge, Sanpailou and other places are also called big markets, mostly selling fish, meat and vegetables.
Others such as ironware workshops, leather markets, and drum shops are at the entrance of Sanshan Street.
In other words, this area is full of merchants.
Precisely because the population is concentrated in this area, it should be built better.
To sum up, there are actually not many roads that need to be repaired in the entire capital.
Of course, the capital of the Ming Dynasty was not as square and square as it was after Zhu Di moved the capital to Peking.
Peiping was built on basically ruins, so it could be planned to an extremely standard level.
This is the case for the so-called Forty-nine Cities.
Most of the [-] cities follow a symmetrical form, and if they need to be renovated, the amount of work will be huge.
Keying Tianfu is located on the bank of the Qinhuai River and is restricted by Zhongshan Mountain and lakes, so it can only have an irregular shape.
Even the imperial city is only located in the southwest corner.
Unlike the Forbidden City in Beijing, which is located in the middle of the imperial city.
However, precisely because the Imperial City is located in the southwest corner, there are relatively few main roads to be built.
After the construction of Chang'an Street, Chen Han immediately listed Dazhong Street and Sanshan Street as the main roads to be built this time.
Dazhong Street is connected to Chang'an Street, and it crosses Guyu Street from east to west and is connected to Sanshan Street.
During the renovation, the fence was also used to divide Dazhong Street into two, and the road was built while walking.
This avenue takes less time than Chang'an Avenue.
The connection between Dazhong Street and Sanshan Street is Guyu Street, three streets forming a T-shape.
After the construction of Dazhong Street was completed, it only took seven days.
This is because Dazhong Street is different from Chang'an Street. After all, Chang'an Street is for civil and military officials, and even the emperor sometimes has to use Chang'an Street when traveling.
Therefore, the standard and width of the building are much wider than that of Dazhong thing is that after the workers went through the construction of Chang'an Avenue, the technology has become relatively mature.
Therefore, it will naturally take much less time to build Dazhong Street.
After the construction of Dazhong Street was completed, the time for Sanshan Street was almost the same, and it was completed in seven or eight days.
Next is Guyu Street, which connects to Jubao Gate. It took fifteen days to build.
Although Chang'an Street took a month to complete, the three main streets of Dazhong Street, Sanshan Street and Guyu Street took only one month to complete.
These three streets and Shangyuan Street to the north are the four most densely populated streets in the entire capital.
But Chen Han only spent more than two months.
This can be attributed to the fact that most of the time during the construction of the road was in June and July. It was the intense heat that accelerated the drying of the cement.
But I have to admire Chen Han's planning ability and execution ability of this batch of functions.
In this way, everyone believed that what Chen Han said about renovating all the main roads in the capital within half a year was really achievable.
The common people walking on the repaired road all expressed their admiration for Chen Han's power.
I was even more surprised to find that even if all the streets were to be built, it would only take four or five months.
Those officials who witnessed Chen Han's bet by the Ministry of Industry and Industry were filled with emotion when they saw Chen Han's speed in building roads and admired Chen Han's ability.
No wonder Chen Han dared to make such a bet with the Minister of Industry, because even without the participation of the Ministry of Industry, Chen Han actually did not encounter many difficulties in building this road.
Even if there are only ordinary workers, not the skilled craftsmen who often cooperate with the Ministry of Industry, there is still no delay in doing things.
As a result, the credibility of the Ministry of Industry has suddenly been reduced a lot.
Everyone also discovered that even without the involvement of the Ministry of Industry, Chen Han was still successful.
In the last two months, Chen Han only needed to complete the construction of a few roads that were not so densely populated to fulfill his original agreement.
In the following period, Chen Han no longer participated in road construction.
He will also lead his students to study how to extract Eucommia gum to make tires.
Chen Han is relatively lacking in knowledge in this area.
But after he made this request, the students were very interested.
Everyone studies the production of tires as all subjects.
It has to be said that the ancients were actually quite intelligent, but their vision may not be as broad as that of modern people like him.
So when Chen Hanchen continued to tell his request, these students began to proceed according to Chen Han's request.
Even in the past few months when Chen Han was building the road, when Chen Han looked back again, he realized that they had roughly completed the finished product.
Although it is not as hard as modern tires, it is barely usable.
However, Chen Han was still building roads, so he asked them to improve them.
Chen Han asked them not only to repair and develop tires, but also to imagine the functions of Eucommia gum.
Several students used Eucommia gum to make belts after seeing its elongation properties.
In particular, the team led by Zhu Gaochi discovered that Eucommia gum could completely replace the conveyor belt on the automatic crushing and grinding machine they used in the brick factory.
When Zhu Gaochi took the plan he proposed, Chen Han readily agreed to let him study this aspect.
After more than ten days of development, a team of 100 people led by Zhu Gao actually overcame the problem of making conveyor belts with Eucommia gum.
After using the Eucommia gum conveyor belt, they doubled the efficiency of the automatic grinder.
The belts made from Eucommia gum are indeed much better than the conveyor belts they made from cloth, and are tougher and more durable.
Even if grinding is carried out around the clock, the Eucommia gum conveyor belt is fully capable of doing the job.
After the team led by Zhu Gaochi solved the problem of the conveyor belt.
The team led by Zhu Yunxi finally combined Eucommia gum with the tires mentioned by Chen Han. After installing the simple tires on the carriage wheels for a trial, they were surprised to find out.
Although it was not able to completely reduce the vibration of the carriage as Chen Han said, they found that when the carriage was moving, the resistance generated was greatly reduced and the speed of the carriage was significantly faster.
Even Zhu Yunxi and the others discovered that if they want to improve the shock absorption effect of the carriage, they must not only work on the tires, but also on the bearings and the carriage itself.
So on the one hand, Zhu Yunxi asked people to focus on the research of tires, and on the other hand, he brought some people to solve the problems of the carriage body and bearings.
He even replaced the bearing with an iron one. Chen Han told him that he could replace the bearing with a double layer and lubricate it with iron beads to reduce friction.
In fact, this is a ball bearing.
After Chen Han gave the method, Zhu Yunxi led people to conduct research day and night, and finally came up with the iron ball bearing.
After replacing the original wooden bearings with ball bearings and adding iron horizontal bars, the speed of the carriage increased dramatically.
After tasting the benefits of this iron bearing, Zhu Gaochi applied this new technology to his automatic grinding machine. As expected, it reduced a lot of resistance and greatly increased the efficiency of the automatic grinding machine in the brick-burning factory. few.
Cement production has also entered a stage of doubling output.
Chen Han and Xia Yuanji became more and more interested in science every time they saw students from the School of Engineering. As long as Chen Han gave them a direction, they could follow this direction to develop what Chen Han needed. when something Xia Yuanji felt very shocked.
He was even shocked at how many things were inside Chen Han's head.
And because it was at the same time, a title that neither Chen Han nor Xia Yuanji had expected slowly became popular in the capital.
In Confucianism, Confucius, the most sage teacher, can be called a saint. After Chen Han led the development of the entire Ming Dynasty by building cement roads and developing so many new machines.
The Way of Science was also edited and published by the talents of Chen Han College of Engineering, and an internal magazine of the College of Engineering, the College of Engineering News, was circulated to the outside world.
In the Engineering College Newspaper, a scholar used the term "Sage of Science and Technology" to praise Chen Han for the first time.
Originally, this title was only used internally. It was given as an honorific title out of respect for Chen Han.
But I didn't expect that when the Daming Engineering College newspaper spread outside, it immediately caused an uproar.
Being able to be called a saint was a very strict title throughout the feudal era.
Even Confucius, the most saintly teacher of Dacheng, was only canonized at a later stage. This is already an undeniable and huge monument in the minds of scholars.
The reason why scholars call it a moat is so that their identity as scholars can be respected.
Unexpectedly, there was only one monument, but now there is another monument for Chen Han, the sage of science and technology.
This has touched the real chord of countless scholars.
So a real academic bloody storm is about to begin...
