Chapter 1140 The Leek Harvester of the Empire (Fifth update, please subscribe)
"666" is wrong, it should be "" What does the invention mean?
For the 13-year-old Ming Dynasty, this seems to be a small matter that is not worth mentioning, but in fact, it is a far-reaching event.

Not only because this is the beginning of fine organic chemistry in the empire, even the world, but more importantly, it opened the prelude to modern agriculture together with chemical fertilizers.

Of course, if it is said that it has an impact, it must have an impact. For example, its toxicity is high and its residue is high. While it seems to be progressing, it allows people to eat pesticide meals in advance!

However, it has little impact on the high-level empire, after all, you can eat special food.

All of this is a later story. For Daming, the invention of Sidley at the end of 13 years is just one of many inventions.After 20 years of continuous development, the scientific research of the empire has been on the right track, and has moved towards the expressway of a virtuous circle of development.

13 years of Sidley!
What does this year mean to the scientific community of the empire?
Even if historians study this year, it is not clear why it happened, because so many inventions are born every year that people often ignore this year.

Of course, this does not mean that there are no major events this year, that is, at the end of this year, in order to increase the influence of the Ming Empire, the Dynamite Award that Emperor Zhu had been thinking about was finally taken out by him.

"1000 yuan!"

Faced with this number, even Charlotte, who is expensive as a queen, was shocked by this number.

"What! 1000 yuan!"

The reason why she was so surprised is that the empire itself rewards scientists who invent and innovate accordingly. For example, the winners of the "Royal Science Award" selected by the Royal Academy of Sciences every year can not only get a lot of money. Will become the recipient of the "Qingyun Medal" in the following year.

The double blessing from wealth to status has long made Daming a fan of pursuing scientists—stars and socialites love scientists the most, which is an obvious example.In newspapers, there are always tidbits about single scientists.

But now he actually wants to set up another award.

"Yes."

Nodding his head, Emperor Zhu took out a cigar from the cigar case, lit it and took a puff.

"It's 1000 million! Over the years, the science of the Ming Empire has become more and more prosperous. Although scientists are sought after by all walks of life, and the empire is willing to give scientists various rewards, all of these will have a great effect on the development of science and technology. But..."

Thinking of the Nobel Prize created by Nobel in another world, Emperor Zhu said.

"The Royal Science Award belongs to Ming Dynasty. I want to create a prize for the whole world, regardless of nationality or race, to reward scientists who have made pioneering contributions to the development of science for all mankind..."

"No nationality limit?"

Charlotte opened her green eyes wide and looked at Emperor Zhu in surprise.

"Yes, there is no limit on nationality, even if it is a scientist from a hostile country."

In fact, there is another advantage of not being limited to nationality, that is, it can be harvested!
Whether the Nobel Prize has a talent-harvesting effect, Emperor Zhu is not clear, but the "Dynamite Award" he wants to hold must have a talent-harvesting effect-explode a wave of scientists, and then provide them with better scientific research The environment, introducing them to the Ming Dynasty, is the most important thing, and at present, the Ming Empire is the country with the most relaxed scientific research environment and the most abundant scientific research funds in the world, not one of them.

Scientists may have a motherland, but are there still few scientists who immigrate?Especially in this era, how did the US emperor become powerful? Isn't it by harvesting talents from all over the world?
"Charlotte, setting up a scientific award facing the whole world will not only win the reputation of the empire around the world, but the biggest benefit is to show the world the mind of all rivers and rivers in the Ming Empire. At the same time, when they arrive in Ming Dynasty, they are also An opportunity to recruit top talents. Those nominated scientists can also be invited to Daming. When they attend the ceremony in Daming, the university can send invitations to them, invite them to give lectures, and even teach. Every year, even if we only Leaving three or five people is enough, you know, those people are all top scientists in the world!"

Well, there are three or five nominees left to teach in Ming Dynasty every year. It’s really lucky that Emperor Zhu can remember it. For future generations, not to mention the winners of the Nobel Prize, even the nominees can be called "national treasures" the scientist.

If three or five nominees can be left around the world every year, then the winners will be the Empire. The talents they have cultivated are enough to make Ming's scientific development enter another fast track.

"This is your real purpose? To acquire talent."

Charlotte looked at her husband and understood what he meant.

"Talent, the most precious wealth in the world, only a country with talent can stand on top of the world forever, Charlotte, after discovering the New World, even though the Spaniards robbed so much gold and silver in America, what then? Now it is still the poorest and most backward country in Western Europe. Colonial plundering cannot make a country strong, but science is the foundation of a country's strength. Britain has never become the number one power in the world by plundering colonies. It depends on science! It depends on the productivity driven by science."

In another world, there are always many people who attribute the strength of the imperialist powers to the plundering of colonies, which is simply chasing after the end.Spain, which robbed the most gold and silver in the Americas, was already the poorest and most backward country in Western Europe by the middle of the 19th century.America's gold and silver did not make Spain great.

On the other hand, the United Kingdom, the United States and Germany, what is their rise and strength?
science!

In fact, the rise of Germany coincides with the time when it became the world's scientific research and academic center. As the birthplace of the second industrial revolution, science is the main fuel for the rise of Erdezi.

Foreign plunder may bring wealth, but if a country wants to stand on top of the world forever, it can only rely on science.

Thinking that the Science Award could become a talent harvester in a disguised form, Emperor Zhu was so happy that he couldn't help but grinned.

"Talent! As long as we capture the top talents in the world, then we will always stand on top of the world!"

Looking at the laughing emperor, Charlotte thought for a while before saying:

"Your Majesty, since this matter is so important to the empire, wouldn't 1000 million be too little? Well, how about increasing it to 2000 million?"

2000 million!
How much is the Dynamite Award in history?

Nobel wrote his will on November 1895, 11, donating more than 27 million Swedish kronor to set up a fund. The interest is used as a bonus every year. This money is equivalent to about 3122 million U.S. dollars. The gold content of the Ming Yuan is the same as that of the U.S. dollar.

1000 million Ming Yuan, 2000 million Ming Yuan.

It seems that there is not much difference. Wouldn't it be more sensational if it was 2000 million?
"also."

After Emperor Zhu agreed, Charlotte thought about it and asked again.

"Then this award is called..."

"The Sidley Emperor Award!"

Emperor Zhu's answer made Charlotte nod in agreement in satisfaction, and asked again.

"Then what are his selection criteria?"

"The selection criteria are simple—"

Emperor Zhu took a puff of cigarettes and directly chose plagiarism.

"Awarded to the person who has made the greatest contribution to humanity in a year."
