Chapter 20 The Birth of the Aluminum Engine

Yan Fu looked at Tang Jian’s mysterious eyes and asked, “What kind of fun is it?”

Tang Jian smiled and pulled Yan Fu's sleeve and hurriedly walked out. Tian Aden had already prepared several fast horses outside the door. It turned out that Tian Aden originally wanted to return to Fuzhou in the next few days, because the construction of the dreadnought was almost at the level of sea trials. It was a critical moment. If you were not careful, the research results in the past few years might have been wasted. If Tang Jian had not been married, Tian Aden would have really not spared any time. *eng.com**

The three of them walked south under the escort of a team of guards. On the way south, the whole north showed a prosperous scene a year.

When I walked to the wilderness, I saw farmers working with hoes in the fields on both sides of the road. Each farmer had a happy look on his face. He could work on his own land. These honest farmers were already satisfied and extremely happy.

What a simple farmer! Tang Jian sighed in his heart that since ancient times, the farmers of the Chinese nation have always worked hard, supported themselves, and were easily satisfied. As long as there is a piece of land of their own, they will be satisfied.

After a day of travel, Tang Jian and others stayed in a small mountain village in Jiangxi. The next morning, Tang Jian was woken up by a sound of Lang Lang's morning reading. When Tang Jian walked out of the farmhouse where he stayed, he realized that there was a primary school nearby where he stayed.

Looking at the appearance of this primary school, it seemed like it was newly built, Tang Jian suddenly realized that it was the result of nine years of free education. The first thing in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China was to promote education. The Ministry of Finance allocated a huge sum of funds, which was personally supervised by Minister of Education Liang Qichao. The new primary school in front of him was the product of nine years of free education.

In order not to disturb the children's studies, Tang Jian gently came to a jujube tree outside the classroom. On the podium, a young female teacher pointed her finger at the thirty or forty five or six-year-old children in the classroom to recite the multiplication formulas in mathematics and arithmetic in unison.

A smile appeared on Tang Jian's mouth. One of the "Constitution" promulgated was that men and women were equal, and adult women had the right to enjoy the same job opportunities as men. Women who abandoned foot binding could enter factories, government agencies and other units like men to join the work.

The young female teacher in front of me was probably the beneficiary of this law. The young female teacher meticulously taught the students below to recite the mantras and occasionally stroked the hanging hair with her left hand. In the classroom, the thirty-four five or six-year-old primary school students were concentrated on following the female teacher word by word. Several little boys forgot to wipe the snot on their noses, and their expressions were not to mention how serious they were.

New-style education, unlike the previous eight-legged essay, teaches some subjects such as mathematics, physics, chemistry that have long been popular in the West. The Ministry of Education has spent a lot of money to introduce new-style textbooks from the West and invites some international students to return to China to teach, hoping to be helpful to the education cause.

You are the future of China and the future of the entire Chinese nation, Tang Jian murmured to the five or six-year-old children in the classroom.

"President, President!" Chen Chusheng, the head of the guard, got up early in the morning and walked to Tang Jian's room but did not find Tang Jian. So he hurriedly searched nearby. Sure enough, he found Tang Jian outside the classroom of this elementary school. Chen Chusheng immediately shouted happily as soon as he found Tang Jian.

Tang Jian made a "boo" move, Chen Chusheng quickly let his pace down, came to Tang Jian, and whispered: "President, Premier Yan and others have all washed up and can set off at any time."

Tang Jian nodded. When he returned to his residence, he found that the guards were taking care of the horses. Yan Fu, Tian Aden and others were waiting outside the door early.

Yan Fu asked with a smile: "How is it? President, have you seen hope for China's future?"

Tang Jian smiled: "You can't hide anything from you!"

Yan Fu said: "When I was implementing new free education before, I visited several provinces in Jiangnan with Minister of Education Liang Qichao, and found that the measures for new free education in various provinces have been implemented well. Alas, the reason why China is so much behind the great powers is that our education is backward. I think after implementing new free education, the quality of my Chinese people will slowly catch up with the Western countries. Now these students sitting in the classroom are all the hopes for my future in China!"

Tang Jian deeply agrees that the prosperity of a country depends to a large extent on the prosperity of education. When a country's national education is strong, the quality of the people will improve, and the wisdom of the people will naturally increase. This will not only help the nation's cohesion, but also improve the people's sense of democracy.

Although China's current national name is called the Democratic Republic of China, it is not actually a real republic. At best, it can only be regarded as a transition period from a feudal state to a democratic state.

Only by promoting education, enlightening people's wisdom, cultivating the people's sense of democracy, and allowing the people to participate in politics and make decisions can this be considered a true democratic republic.

Therefore, Daxing Education is the primary national policy for a strong country in China!

"It's getting late, Captain, it's time for us to leave!" Tian Arden reminded.

Tang Jian woke up from his thoughts and immediately summoned the guards to head towards Fuzhou.

A few days later, Tang Jian and others entered Fujian. Everything along the way was that the country and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. It seems that the series of political measures since the founding of China have been effective!

After entering Fuzhou, I saw that various parts of Fuzhou were building construction, and many factories in the area could already be seen.

Yan Fu rode side by side with Tang Jian on the horse. Yan Fu smiled and said, "Now, large-scale construction is being built in big cities across the country. A wave of industrial development has emerged on the land of China, and various factories are springing up like mushrooms after a rain."

Yan Fu pointed to a factory that had already started production and said, "Hey, that is a flour mill, which specializes in flour eaten in the north, and the one on the right is a rice mill, which specializes in collecting rice from local farmers and processing it into rice and selling it to all parts of the country!"

Tang Jian listened to the roar of machines in the distance and nodded constantly. The speed of setting up factories across the country was beyond his expectations. It was too fast, like a train that was accelerating violently. Perhaps it was because the national bourgeoisie had been suppressed for too long in the late Qing Dynasty. After untiing the shackles, the national bourgeoisie immediately began to develop wildly with the support of policies.

Tang Jian sighed in his heart that at this time, China is gradually developing towards industrialization. I believe that in a few decades, China can become one of the powerful industrial countries in Asia.

"It's here!" Tian Arden reminded.

Tang Jian looked up and was stunned. Is this still the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Factory? It hasn't been here for more than half a year, and the changes are too big.

There are several 10,000-ton dry docks in the port. There are more than twice as many shipbuilders on the docks than before. There are knocking sounds everywhere in your ears, and there are fires flashing everywhere in your eyes. It is the sparks that the welders splash when welding steel plates.

Not far away, a thermal power plant was brightly lit, and the towering chimneys were filled with thick black smoke. The pier was covered with wide roads paved with cement, which was very different from the muddy dirt road that was raining.

Seeing Tang Jian's shocked expression, Tian Aden said, "How is it? Captain, have the change been too big?"

Tang Jian nodded repeatedly.

Tian Arden said: "You haven't been here for a long time. Of course, you can't adapt to such a big change at once. More surprises are still to come!"

Tian Aden greeted a familiar worker and said, "Where is the dean?"

The worker replied, "Director Ouyang, he is doing the experiment in the laboratory!"

Tian Aden patted the man on the shoulder and asked him to continue to be busy. Then he took Tang Jian and others to Ouyang Yanqing's laboratory.

At this time, Ouyang Yanqing was in the laboratory, wearing a white coat and holding a welding machine in his hand. He focused on studying on a one-meter-square-meter machine on the table in front of him. From time to time, he blocked his eyes with a mask, and a point on the machine with a welding machine, and a spark burst out instantly.

When Tang Jian saw the machine on the table, his eyes suddenly lit up. Although the aluminum engine in front of him was much heavier than the ones in later generations, it was really surprising that he could build such an advanced generator in this era!

Ouyang Yanqing was extremely focused on what was happening in front of him and did not notice the arrival of Tang Jian and others at all.

Tang Jian patted Ouyang Yanqing on the shoulder lightly, and Ouyang Yanqing turned around in a condition. Tang Jian jumped back in fear and said in horror: "Ouyang Yanqing, do you want to burn me to death?"

Ouyang Yanqing took off his cover and found that it was Tang Jian. He looked at the welding machine facing Tang Jian again. He instantly reacted, laughed embarrassedly, and after carefully putting down the welding machine, he apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't find that the president came, I'm in a position to welcome him, I'm in a position to welcome him, I'm in a position to welcome him!"

Tang Jian teased: "Hmph, you come to attend the wedding even if I don't see you. Do you still expect you to leave the laboratory and welcome me specifically?"

Seeing that Tang Jian saw that he had to laugh dryly, Ouyang Yanqing had to explain: "At that time, the experiment of the aluminum engine had already reached the most critical moment. I really couldn't get rid of it. Look, now it's finally done!"

Tang Jian nodded with satisfaction: "The President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences did not disappoint me!"

Ouyang Yanqing sighed lightly and said, "Oh, it's still one step late!"

Tang Jian said in surprise: "What does this mean?"

Ouyang Yanqing explained: "I heard from the intelligence personnel of the CIA's US branch that two people in the United States have built a plane that can fly."

When Tang Jian heard Ouyang Yanqing say this, he immediately realized that in history, the Wright brothers in the United States built the first plane to fly manned by relying on their own power in 1903. It is true that Ouyang Yanqing said it was one step late.

However, Ouyang Yanqing smiled again and said, "However, ours are more advanced than theirs. They use a single engine. During flight, there are often failures in the engine that suddenly shuts down the vehicle. After improvement, I loaded twin engines on our aircraft, reducing the chance of sudden shutdown failure in the engine!"
