Chapter 1159 New Fuel Information
Xinping was taken aback, and said: "My lord, the Ministry of Intelligence still has sample magazines, so you should keep this sample magazine first.
My lord, my lord, what's wrong with you? ..."
Qu Mao came back to his senses, took out the sample magazine provided by Xinping, placed it in front of Xinping, took out a pen and paper, drew a heavy line under a paragraph of text, and asked, "Xinping, is this true?"
Xinping glanced at Qu Mao's underlined part, and read in a low voice: "About 30 kilometers southwest of Shacheng in Jiliehou State, some residents found a strange black ore. Smelted the metal contained in the black ore, but found that this black ore can burn..."
Qu Mao asked again: "Is this news true?"
Xinping said suspiciously: "My lord, every piece of information on this "Easy Island Weekly" has been verified by the Ministry of Intelligence.
It's just that the composition of that black ore has not been detected so far. It doesn't look like iron ore, but it still has a metallic luster.
In fact, this news was already reported in the Mansion News of the Ministry of Intelligence in October, but no further report was made because no one could accurately guess the composition of this ore. "
Qu Mao read the underlined text three times in a row, and then said: "I should know this kind of ore."
Xinping raised his head, looked at Qu Mao with some puzzlement, and said, "My lord, after this ore was discovered, many people couldn't guess its composition.
However, the ironworker of Iron Village said that even if this ore is some unknown metal, it is too brittle, so we have basically given up.
Now we have a large number of metal ingots in our material warehouse, and there is no need to additionally develop this unknown metal.
You are so obsessed with this unknown metal, have we overlooked something? "
Qu Mao said: "Xinping, this is why we need to open journals, this kind of thing is of great benefit to the progress of our civilization.
If there is no "Yidao Weekly", this thing will be ignored by us, even if we can still find its use in the future, but our pace of development will be delayed. "
Even though he is a freshman majoring in finance and economics in another world, Qu Mao knows very well that in the history of human development in another world, there used to be a kind of energy that played a vital role, and that was coal. Unexpectedly, the black ore found in the southwest of Shacheng in the Marquis of Gillette should be coal.
Even if Qu Mao is not clear about the specific process, Qu Mao knows that steelmaking and even power generation cannot do without ore coal in the early days. With coal, even if no steel can be smelted, it is of great benefit to iron smelting.
So, Qu Mao said excitedly: "Xinping, if I guessed correctly, this kind of ore should be called coal, not a kind of metal ore, but a kind of fuel ore.
Xinping, no matter what method you use, I hope you will transport 100 units of this new ore sample back to the lord's hut as quickly as possible, and hand it over to me in person. I will accurately determine whether this ore is coal. If It's coal, and the technological development of our Yigong territory should be accelerated. "
Xinping Zhengse said: "My lord, although I don't know the purpose and significance of ore coal, my lord, my subordinates can still feel your urgency. Please don't worry, my lord, I will get it for you as soon as possible.
Your Excellency is so caring, is it closely related to military technology? "
Don’t worry about the purpose, just send me the sample as quickly as possible...:”
Qu Mao suddenly stopped talking again, and his eyes stopped on a news item in "Yidao Weekly" again, then he drew a line and asked, "Xinping, what's going on with this?"
Xinping stepped forward to take a look, but this time he didn't read it out. On the sample issue of "Yidao Weekly", the underlined part of Qu Mao read: Bi Sheng, a third-year student majoring in thermal power at Zhidao New Technology Research University, A hot air balloon experiment was carried out inside the school, which caused a campus fire and damaged 11 trees that had grown for more than two years in the forest area of Zhidao New Technology Research University. The school fined 2 gold coins and recorded a demerit for Bi Sheng.
After reading the news, Xinping let out a sigh of relief, and said, "My lord, this matter is true. My subordinates saw that your lord cares about this student, and there is only one contribution from Zhidao University of New Technology, so I decided to publish it. Serve as a benchmark to encourage other residents to contribute.
If you are not happy as an adult, your subordinates will delete it.
Of course, after my subordinates entrusted the Ministry of Administration to issue a notice to all islands, institutions, and independent territories to contribute to the "Easy Island Weekly", Zhidao University of New Technology Research immediately submitted this manuscript, and my subordinates thought it was Zhidao New Technology Research The university's counterattack against the principal's words that you asked Bi Sheng to bring to the principal. "
Qu Mao asked in astonishment: "What did I ask Bi Sheng to say? It was nothing more than asking the Zhidao University of New Technology to encourage students to experiment and not to suppress the enthusiasm of students for scientific research.
Could it be that Bi Sheng was talking nonsense? "
"My lord, this submission?" Xinping asked.
Qu Mao smiled and said: "Let's publish it like this. When it is officially published, add a bracket after the article. In the brackets, it says that the contribution is from Zhidao University of New Technology Research, and clearly state the amount of remuneration.
Only by doing so, will more residents be attracted to contribute articles to Yidao Weekly, and you will have the necessity to select articles in the future. "
Xinping smiled and said: "Your Excellency, this is a clever move, but how much will you pay for the manuscript?"
Qu Mao said: "In the future, we will definitely form a remuneration mechanism based on word count and supplemented by quality, but as the first issue and new things, it doesn't matter if you give high points at the beginning.
After all, submitting a manuscript for publication can not only earn remuneration, but also gain fame. In the future, I am afraid that outstanding talents will not value the income of remuneration.
By the way, this news is compiled together with the news about the discovery of coal ore just now. "
Xinping nodded and said, "Yes, my lord."
Qu Mao thought for a while, and while continuing to browse the news on the sample issue of the first issue of "Yidao Weekly", he said: "Xinping, Bi Sheng doesn't have much money on him, I gave him 10 gold coins and 10 silver coins last time, so quickly As far as the hot air balloon experiment is concerned, I guess he has no money again.
You arrange someone to pay the fine for him in my name. When the coal ore I need arrives at the lord's hut, I invite Bi Sheng and his roommate to come to the lord's hut as guests.
Scientific research talents must be vigorously supported. "
Xinping smiled and said: "Yes, my lord, my subordinates personally sent the fine, and settled the manuscript fee of the Zhidao University of New Technology Research by the way, and reminded the school of the University of New Technology Research that support for student experiments must be implemented."
Qu Maodao: "Also urge them to hurry up and publish their own school magazine."
"Yes, my lord."
