Huang Luzhuang is not only proficient in the clear calculation subjects such as "Nine Chapters", "Island", "Five Caos", "Zhou Pi", and "Five Classics Calculation", but also because he has been exposed to some books by European missionaries since he was a child, he has learned a lot of knowledge about algebra, geometry, physics, and machinery from it.

When Zhu Yicheng talked to him about these professional knowledge, Huang Luzhuang gradually let go of his previous restraints and became good at talking, especially when talking about some of the Xiao Mings he had created, he was even more excited.

The self-cycle wood man, the heat tester, the Ruiguang Mirror... and even bicycles! These incredible ideas were explained one by one from Huang Luzhuang, and he also explained the principles and scope of use with Zhu Yicheng in detail. Regardless of whether Zhu Yicheng could understand it, he said that he was happy and contrary to his usual calmness.

"This is really an engineering dog!" Looking at his appearance, Zhu Yicheng couldn't help but sigh, and was also excited about picking up the treasure.

"Can these be recorded? Or written?" Zhu Yicheng asked.

Huang Luzhuang hesitated and replied: "Weichen wrote a book more than ten years ago, named "Strange Artifacts and Pictures", but this book was not published, just for self-entertainment. Later, because his cousin Zhang Chao was a little interested, Weichen sent this book to him."

"If you ask you to rewrite this book, will you have any problems?"

"This is not a problem, it just takes some time. But please rest assured. Although the Weichen was not keen on this path in recent years, how to make these objects has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of Weichen. But the Emperor, these are just small paths, why...?"

Although Huang Luzhuang is an engineering dog, he is not stupid either. After calming down, he felt that Zhu Yicheng was extremely interested in it. As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, how could he be so interested in these paths? And it seems that the main purpose of recruiting him today was also because of this, and he couldn't help but wonder.

"Small Way?" Zhu Yicheng laughed at this and said, "What is the small way? Why is it the great way? Scholars in the world only know how to read the books of sages, and there are half of the Analects of Confucius that govern the world. But you can know that there were words in ancient times. Three thousand great ways are the same. If you read more books of sages and do better articles, can you make food grow in the ground? Can you make the army more powerful? Or can you make the country restoration? There are more than one Tao in this world. No matter which way, as long as you can be used by me, it is the great way!"

Huang Luzhuang was shocked suddenly. He vaguely understood something in his heart, but he didn't understand anything.

Zhu Yicheng continued: "For example, what I have mentioned before, I will say one or two of them. The heat tester made by Aiqing can measure the temperature. Haven't you ever thought of using it to craft iron and steel? It can be used to control the furnace temperature. If it can be promoted, it will be enough to benefit the army and the people. In other words, this thing is also very useful in medical practice. It is common for ordinary people to suffer from cold and burns, but the severity of the disease is often only the experience of the doctor. Isn't it better if this thing can be used to measure it? Furthermore, it is also very useful in agriculture. You can use this thing to judge climate change to assist agriculture to achieve better harvests..."

随着朱怡成所说,黄履庄的眼睛是越瞪越大,他明这些东西大多只是爱好,或者是研制自己的一些研究,却从来没有往实用型方面去想.如今朱怡成仅仅拿他的验冷热器,也就是后世的气体温度计来举例,一下子令他打开了一扇窗户,使得他看到了不一样的风景.

朱怡成说的一点都没错,眼界局限了黄履庄,仅仅一个验冷热器就有如此用处,那其余各物的用途更广.一瞬间,黄履庄就随着朱怡成的思路想到了许多,这都是他几十年来从而现的一番新天地,整个人神情兴奋不已.

Of course, compared to Zhu Yicheng, Huangluzhuang had just opened up his mind, but Zhu Yicheng thought more deeply. Not only was the widespread use of gas thermometers, it was of great help in smelting, agriculture, medicine and other aspects, but other aspects of Huangluzhuang also made great achievements.

Not much else, the self-propelled wooden man he made himself can freely go up and down the ladder, which has already had the function of automatic climbing in later generations. If improved, it will not only achieve extremely high efficiency in industry and transportation, but also have a wide range of military uses.

The same is true for Ruiguang Mirror. This is a primary searchlight, which is more important in military aspects. In addition, Huang Luzhuang once developed high-pressure springs. The springs he made can be comparable to those made by later generations in terms of strength and practicality. They are extremely useful in industrial purposes. What is more important is that if this spring is used in military industry, it will be enough to allow the Ming Dynasty's military industry to fly...

Having said that, Zhu Yicheng directly told Huang Luzhuang that he hoped that Huang Luzhuang would continue to conduct in-depth research on this aspect and organize the system's manufacturing and implementation. Although the court has been appointed as the head of the sixth-rank work department of Huang Luzhuang, Huang Luzhuang is only named in the Ministry of Works in the specific work. Zhu Yicheng plans to establish a Royal Research Institute and let Huang Luzhuang take charge of his work and directly take responsibility to him.

Huang Luzhuang never expected that Zhu Yicheng would value him so much and also entrusted him with important responsibilities. Thinking about what Zhu Yicheng said just now, Huang Luzhuang also understood that what he thought was the real useful knowledge, which was the foundation for him to gain a foothold in the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Huang Luzhuang couldn't help but burst into tears. His years of grievances and confusion for the world disappeared at this moment, and replaced by his incomparable gratitude and admiration for Zhu Yicheng. The so-called scholar who died for his confidant, Huang Luzhuang was also a scholar. With such an enlightened monarch's trust and support, he had no regrets in this life!

Huang Luzhuang did not hesitate at all about Zhu Yicheng's request and immediately agreed. Zhu Yicheng then told him with relief that the funding for the Royal Academy would be directly allocated by the royal family, and the first batch of funds would be 500,000 silver dollars for preparation. All Ming, who was developed, would hold certain patents, and would distribute benefits based on the patents in the future.

As for the location selection and personnel, Zhu Yicheng would choose a location in the western suburbs of Nanjing in the early days and then allocate some administrative personnel to him. The specific researchers will be determined and recruited by Huangluzhuang. No matter which type of person is an ordinary person or an official below the sixth rank in the court, Huangluzhuang can report it according to the list and then be reviewed and transferred by the relevant yamen (recruitment).

In addition to these, Huangluzhuang will be arranged to go to Ningbo in the near future. Ningbo's development institutions will also be incorporated into the Royal Institute. Before the Royal Institute is established, Huangluzhuang's main task is to preside over the improvements in military and industrial equipment in Ningbo. Zhu Yicheng hopes that he will make a journey as soon as possible and bring him surprises.
