Chapter 44 Power! Power!

Lin Feng directly ordered the staff of the Academy of Sciences to be led to the study room, and he ceased to the kitchen alone.

When Lin Feng arrived at the study, he found that the entire study was already full. In addition to the 33 former Academy of Sciences personnel who came from Jinling with Lin Feng, there are now 16 newly recruited talents of various types, plus five Islamists from Jiaqi, which are exactly 54 people, and the number of people playing cards.

With Lu Jiang's recommendation one by one, Lin Feng shook hands with the newcomers separately, trying to remember each other's name, image and expertise.

After all the introductions of these "future stars" were introduced, Lin Feng walked to the front of the crowd and said enthusiastically: "You may not know that establishing the Tang Academy of Sciences is the most proudest thing in Lin's life. In other words, today are the most proud and most anticipated talents in the world."

With this sentence, Lin Feng immediately changed his gratitude to the audience.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "You may have heard that I, Lin, have no other benefits, only one: I, never treat my brothers unfairly. Now, I announce that the Shouzhou Branch of the Tang Academy of Sciences has been officially established. Each brother's basic salary starts from 500 yuan per month, grade allowances, night shift subsidies, project rewards, and year-end bonuses are calculated separately."

"Wow,." Many newly selected talents all exclaimed. According to the current price level, half a month of money is enough to support a family of four.

Lin Feng smiled unabated and continued to sing, "However, I also have a problem that no one else has. I like to exercise. The body is the biggest capital. Especially for you senior talents, you must not do without a good body. Therefore, from tomorrow, everyone will set off to work at the Bagong Mountain Base every day. After the Academy of Sciences is officially built, everyone will conduct closed research in Bagong Mountain."

Lin Feng's condition did not cause much reaction. He glanced around his eyes and there was no one who looked weak at the scene.

"As for everyone's accommodation, from tomorrow, all of them will be temporarily moved from the warship to the governor's mansion. I will choose a nearby area to build a place for everyone to settle down as soon as possible, so everyone will suffer during this period." Lin Feng said another promise.

This means that the Academy of Sciences not only manages food and accommodation, but also builds houses for everyone. Hearing such generous conditions, people from the former Datang Academy of Sciences became even more excited.

"Okay, everyone loves fame, wealth and power, because this is the driving force for us to move forward in this world. Now, everyone has the most basic spiritual motivation. Let me think about the real motivation issue. Now, everyone, please follow me." Lin Feng said this and walked towards the door first.

The confused crowd followed Lin Feng unliberately and walked to the front of the kitchen. At this time, a large pot was placed on the temporary earth stove, and the furnace was filled with burning firewood, and half-full of water was boiling and bubbling.

Lin Feng took a wooden pot lid and gently covered it. The boiling hot air directly lifted the pot lid a few times. Lin Feng added another pot lid and bent down and picked up two stones and pressed it on it.

Not long after, a violent sound of water rolling in the pot and lifted the two layers of lids to move. Lin Feng pressed two more stones. Not long after, a sharp sound rang out, and the violent steam suddenly rushed up the lid and stones. The originally tight lid exposed a crack, and the sound became smaller. However, hot hot water still overflowed from time to time, dripping along the outer edge of the pot onto the firewood, and bursts of white steam emerged.

After watching this scene, Lin Feng led all the stunned people back to the study room again. He first applauded gently and attracted everyone's wandering gaze, and then said loudly:

"Mr. Lin once read historical books and found that the development history of all previous dynasties is actually a history of the development of science and technology. To put it more in depth, it is actually the development history of production power and efficiency.

Think about it, at the beginning, we planted slashes and fire; later, we invented various production tools and began to give full play to the role of manpower; later, in order to improve speed and efficiency, we introduced cattle, horses and other animal powers; later, we learned to use bellows and windmills to introduce the concept of wind power. In fact, these are the same meaning, that is, how to increase production power and improve power efficiency."

Listening to Lin Feng’s imaginative narrative, the doubts on many people at the scene gradually disappeared, adding to the slightest thought.

"Why do many scholars rather study hard for ten years? Isn't it because there is Yan Ruyu in the book, there is a golden house in the book, and there is a thousand millet in the book? These are the motivations for them to persevere. People from all walks of life are all working hard because of their own desires and motivations. When these motivations are condensed, they become the driving force for the advancement of the entire society. Whoever controls these motivations and guides these motivations will definitely do earth-shaking things. For example, Liu Bei, who was born in the sale of straw sandals, can eventually become the overlord of the Three Kingdoms." Lin Feng turned the topic back to the driving force of life, which caused a few people to laugh, but it caused more people to think.

Lin Feng kept saying that he continued to explain the issue of motivation: "By analogy, why can the Khitans in the north be able to defeat all the dynasties in the Central Plains bend down? Isn't it because they have mastered the invincible motivation of the world's horses? Then, what should we do when we face them in the future? I think it is still necessary to solve the key issue of motivation."

Jiaqimu opened his eyes wide, his lips opened a few times, but no sound was made.

Lin Feng spoke again and finally explained the purpose of the boiler test just now: "Everyone saw the pot just now. No matter how many stones pressed on it, it could not suppress the hot air that was about to come out. In the end, it even seemed like a small explosion. Everyone must have seen or heard of it. If the fire is too strong after a fire, it is likely to explode.

What is power? Isn’t external manifestations the power? Then, people have human power, animals have animal power, and wind has wind power. These are all power, and they are manifestations of power. Aren’t these heat and steam also a kind of power?”

As if enlightened, Jiaqi, Zhao Bin and others immediately exclaimed and looked at Lin Feng in disbelief.

Lin Feng smiled back and continued, "Lin believes that these forces contained in all things can be converted. For example, the heat generated by burning firewood can be called heat energy. Therefore, the water vapor generated directly generates the potential energy of movement, pushing the lid and stone away. This is an energy conversion. If we can invent a machine and use this way of conversion of power, will we control a power that transcends human, animal power, and wind power."

Jia Qi's face changed drastically, and his throat made a sound. He suddenly squatted to the ground and quickly stroked the floor tiles with his nails.

Lin Feng did not stop and pointed at Zhao Bin and said, "If this kind of machine can be hit continuously, can it replace the thousands of times of tempering in your knife forging?"

Zhao Bin's expression changed drastically, and his eyes were staring like a copper bell.

Lin Feng pointed at Fang Tai again and said loudly: "If the power of this machinery is large enough to be transmitted to the entire ship, can it replace sails and manpower? From now on, there is no need to consider the direction and season of the wind, and whether the Fang family's nautical fleet can make the world arbitrarily."

Fang Tai was immediately stunned, staring at Lin Feng with little stars.

Lin Feng pointed to the people in the whole house and shouted loudly: "If this kind of machinery can be used for land cultivation, can we plough hundreds of acres of land in one day? If this kind of machinery can be used for brick making, is it possible for us to build a solid brick city overnight?"

Now, everyone in the room seemed to be a ghost, and could only breathe sharply without hearing the sound of exhaling.
