Starting from the capital, all the way through Langfang, through Tianjin, to Cangzhou, Dezhou, and finally arrived in Jinan, along the way to inspect the folk customs in the Jinggi area, along the way, the Jinggi area is full of vitality, and all parts of the country have begun to flourish, after all, it is the foot of the Son of Heaven, the official team configuration and reserve of Zhili and Shandong are the most outstanding, especially after Ding Baozhen arrived as the governor of Zhili, vigorously rectify the rule of officials, eliminate redundant personnel, the capable up, the mediocre, the official team burst out of a strong potential, began to catch up with Shandong.
In order to be able to move the equipment to Jinan as soon as possible, Li Junfeng, the governor who has arrived, has transferred dozens of carriages from Qingdao in one breath, and at the same time mobilized a battalion of troops to protect along the way and help carry machinery, so he arrived in Jinan in time.
Guo Ye personally welcomed Nobel into the Jinan Provincial Government and expressed a warm welcome to Nobel's arrival.
Provincial Government Auditorium.
Nobel said urgently: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I have learned of your greatness from Mr. Count, and I pay you my highest respect!" ”
Guo Ye smiled: "Mr. Nobel, you are polite, welcome to you, I am full of expectations for you to come to China, everything is ready for you, just waiting for you to come and show your ambitions!" ”
Nobel's face turned red and replied: "Your Majesty, unfortunately, until I boarded the ship that came to the Chinese Empire, I still haven't been able to determine the optimal ratio of diatomaceous earth to nitro*glycerin, it's really stupid, please your Majesty for advice......"
Guo Ye shook his head and replied, "Mr. Nobel, why rush for a while? I'm sure it won't take you long to determine the proportion, but as far as I know, these diatomaceous earths need to be calcined to get the most out of them, so you can try them. ”
Nobel was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked him, this is the gap between scholars and ordinary people, but there is a little academic guidance, that is a great kindness, and can win the great respect of scholars who are dedicated to academic research.
"Your Majesty, I wonder where you plan to build this explosives factory?"
Guo Ye said with a smile: "Mr. Nobel, you are really anxious, the location of the factory has already been chosen, not far from Jinan City, fifty kilometers southeast of Jinan City, Zichuan County, this location is far away from the city, almost more than ten miles away from Zichuan County, once an accident will not affect civilians, but I have ordered people to build a road, the passage is very convenient, the most important point, may be you can't imagine the ......"
"What is the reason?"
Nobel asked.
"Very simply, there are a large number of diatomaceous earth resources in and near this Zichuan, we can develop diatomaceous earth nearby, and the diatomaceous earth contained in this area is enough for us to use for hundreds of years, which will greatly facilitate the production of explosives!"
Nobel was shocked when he heard this, there is a diatomaceous earth mine near here, which is great, and this can save a lot of costs!
"Mr. Nobel, I have carved out a three-mile radius from the junction of Zichuan and Jinan to build an explosives factory, and the gunpowder factory of my military industrial group has also been separated from the military industrial group and merged into a new factory, such a large area is enough to form a first-class large factory, and the explosives produced in the future will be transported to the vicinity of Longshan, where I have ordered people to start digging caves to store explosives, and in the belly of Longshan Mountain, even if it is to store nearly 1,000 tons of explosives, there will be no problem!"
Nobel nodded and replied: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I admire your foresight very much, production and storage are isolated, and once there is an accident, it will not cause immeasurable losses, but the transportation is ......."
Guo Ye replied lightly: "Mr. Nobel, this is not a problem you need to consider, now the railway from Jinan to Qingdao has begun to start, I believe that this is only more than 300 kilometers away, about a year, it can be completed and opened to traffic, when the time comes, our explosives can be directly transported to Qingdao by train, sold to all countries in the world, and now the whole Shandong is fully committed to the construction of railways and highways, three years, three years, the whole Shandong will undergo earth-shaking changes, when the time, you should not be too surprised... …”
Nobel sighed and said: "Your Majesty, you are really a genius, when I was in Europe, I have heard of your name, the whole of China under your leadership, will definitely rise, unfortunately, your country now has too few modern scientific and technological talents, I know in my heart that your country's industrial level and scientific and technological level are far inferior to Europe, which is irreparable in a short period of time, I hope it will not affect my research......
"Don't worry, Mr. Nobel!"
Guo Ye replied firmly: "Now there are two universities in Shandong, Qilu University and Engineering University, most of which are foreigners teaching, and have cultivated a large number of elite talents, which can fully support your scientific research, in addition, in Qingdao, Yantai, and Jining, are preparing for new universities, in Jinan, Shandong University is already in preparation, next year, the number of universities in Shandong will exceed six, and there will be more in the future!" If you have the opportunity, I am willing to accompany you to our university in Shandong to have a look, by the way, and my Huaxia Military Industry Group, where the door is also open to you, you are welcome to visit at any time! ”
Nobel was so moved that even the military-industrial complex was open to himself, you must know that many projects in the military industry are kept secret and kept secret from the outside world, and His Majesty the Emperor's trust in himself has reached the point of no return!
"Your Majesty, thank you for your hospitality, I will do my best to prepare this factory well and live up to your trust!"
Nobel replied firmly.
Guo Ye nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Nobel, you don't have to be polite, this is Mr. Li Junfeng, the governor of Shandong Provincial Government, if your factory encounters any problems in the future, you can ask him for help, and he will do his best to assist you, and I also want to invite you to teach at Qilu University or Engineering University, and in your spare time, train students for the empire, and you can also train your assistants yourself......"
Nobel's face turned red, and he replied embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, it's okay for me to engage in research, teaching, forget it, first, I lack energy, and I don't have enough level, but in order to thank you for your deep friendship, I am willing to write to my friends and invite them to come to the Chinese Empire to teach and conduct scientific research." ”
Guo Ye was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Good, good!" Mr. Nobel, then we have made up our minds, as long as you invite scholars, I will provide them with the most generous treatment and let them enjoy the most honorable courtesy! ”
