Chapter 361: What is Creativity?
"As long as the matter of Momen is solved, the rest of the things will be much easier, the emperor, you only need to release an imperial list to all places, saying that the Ministry of Heavenly Works will recruit skilled craftsmen, I believe that craftsmen from all over the country will definitely flock to it." Zhang Nan said with a smile.
"It's easy to say this thing, but I'm more curious, craftsmen from all over the country are here, how do you screen it? Don't tell me that you're all going to be pulled into the Heavenly Ministry of Works, I can't afford to support so many people. Li Erdao.
"How is that possible, Your Majesty, you are too careful, and the ministers have already figured out how to give them exams." Zhang Nan said.
"Got it figured? Tell me about it. ”
"In fact, what the minister wants is not a simple carpenter or blacksmith, what the minister wants is creative thinking, do you understand the thinking emperor?" Zhang Nan asked.
Li Er shook his head helplessly.
"To put it simply, the Ministry of Heavenly Works is not a place to recruit craftsmen, if the minister is simple and only needs craftsmen, then wouldn't it be good to go directly to the Ministry of Works? Why go to such great lengths to establish the Ministry of Heavenly Works? Zhang Nan said.
"Getting to the point." Li Er reminded.
Zhang Nan scratched his head, this divergent development has become something that Zhang Nan likes to do very much, so Zhang Nan had to pick up the key points and say.
"The point is that what the Tiangong Department wants is talents who can create new things, not simply do their own work. This kind of creativity is hard to come by. To give a simple example, for example, the steam car in the morning, although it looks pretty good, it can run and stop, in fact, it still carries a certain degree of danger, and the function is not strong enough, what the minister wants is not the craftsmanship that you can copy this thing again, of course, this craft is also needed, but more importantly, the minister now wants to put this thing on the ship, or expand the steam car a hundred times, or see this thing, and can apply it to other places, they must be able to make it, That's all that matters. Zhang Nan said.
"Did you make these things?" Li Er asked.
"The minister is naturally made, but the technology of this Datang always depends on the minister alone, that's not a thing, right, what the minister wants is that no matter whether Datang has a minister in the future, the minister wants Datang's technology to be able to develop smoothly, for example, now we can build a car that doesn't need horses to run forward, so one day we can even give up this thing? Therefore, creativity and ideas are the most important thing, and for technology, how far you can go depends on whether you dare to think about it. Zhang Nan continued.
"Before the minister appeared, did you dare to think that a small thing as big as a bowl could blow people up? Your Majesty, do you dare to think that people can fly to the sky? Not to mention your Emperor's speeding Harley. Zhang Nan smiled.
Although there is a gradual process of these things, Li Er may not think that these things can be realized.
"This, if it weren't for Qingquan you, I might still be worried about the Turkic affairs." Li Er said truthfully, although Li Er is now used to these good things that Zhang Nan took out, but if there is no Zhang Nan, Li Er really can't think of it.
"So, these people wanted by the Ministry of Ministers and Heavenly Works are to think about what ordinary people dare not think about and do things that ordinary people dare not do, so that our Datang can progress." Zhang Nan said.
"Okay, I understand what you mean, tomorrow, my imperial list will be posted, you can prepare for the assessment, by the way, you also have to assess the people of Momen, I don't want anyone to be able to enter my Heavenly Ministry of Works." Li Er commanded.
"No problem, Your Majesty, just wait for my good news." Zhang Nan smiled.
Li Er waved his hand, signaling that Zhang Nan could retreat, Zhang Nan didn't stay long, but went directly to the place where Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang stayed, after all, the Ministry of Tiangong was about to recruit people, and the chemical project was also one of the projects that Zhang Nan wanted to vigorously promote.
As soon as he arrived at Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng's place, Zhang Nan saw Yuan Tiangang holding a small bottle that was not very transparent and was saying something to Li Chunfeng.
"Daoist Yuan, don't come unharmed." Zhang Nan smiled and said hello to Yuan Tiangang.
Yuan Tiangang turned his head and found that it was Zhang Nan who came, so he greeted him with a smile.
"Oh, Qingquan? Why do you have time to come to me today? Yuan Tiangang asked with a smile.
"Isn't this the Tiangong Department about to recruit people? So today I came to find the two Taoist leaders, just to let you come up with a set of test questions, and test those who are interested in entering the chemistry group. Zhang Nan got straight to the point.
"Test someone else? Qingquan, don't you have to be happy with the two of us, this is a chemistry study, only to know the depth of this way, we don't understand it ourselves, how can we take the test for others? Yuan Tiangang smiled bitterly.
"Eh, what I mean is to come up with some simple questions, see if those people have a talent for chemistry, you must absorb them, otherwise just relying on the two Taoist masters, even if you are exhausted to death, my Datang's chemistry level will not improve much." Zhang Nan said.
"This ...... Let's do our best. Yuan Tiangang nodded, agreeing with Zhang Nan's statement.
"By the way, what is this thing in Daoist Yuan's hand?" Zhang Nan pointed to the small bottle in Yuan Tiangang's hand and asked.
"Oh? You say this, this is the oxygen made by the old way, although it is not very pure, but the old man is made in strict accordance with the experiments in the book. Yuan Tiangang smiled and shook the small bottle in his hand.
"Impure? No, the oxygen produced by the method described in the book cannot be impure. Zhang Nan looked strange.
"This, in fact, the main problem is still with us, because we really can't find the right equipment, so it is already my best efforts and Chunfeng to make it like this." Yuan Tiangang also looked a little embarrassed.
When Zhang Nan heard this, it turned out that the problem appeared in the experimental equipment, so Zhang Nan said with a smile: "The two Taoist masters don't have to worry, now the chemical laboratory in the Ministry of Heavenly Engineering has complete sets of equipment, and there are enough chemical raw materials for you to do experiments, you can go directly to the Ministry of Heavenly Engineering to do experiments in the future, from now on, your daily work is to do experiments." Zhang Nan said with a smile.
When Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng heard this, they both showed a look of surprise on their faces, and said, "Really? ”
"Naturally, it's true, the chemical laboratory of the Ministry of Heavenly Engineering is the most valuable place of the Ministry of Heavenly Engineering." Zhang Nan smiled.
"So what are you waiting for? That, Chunfeng, quickly packed up his things, and moved to the Ministry of Heavenly Engineering for the division to live. Yuan Tiangang shouted.
