Chapter 173 The Fulcrum of Promoting Civilization
"Lord, what do you say to that alien that you can talk for so long?"
When Yuan Chang came out of Peter's room, Guo Jia and a few people surrounded him curiously. When Yuan Chang and Peter were chatting, they were dizzy when they heard the call, so they might as well run out and taste the wine.
"I'm teaching him our Chinese language!"
Yuan Chang chuckled and said, he naturally saw that Guo Jia and the others didn't take Peter too seriously. Therefore, Yuan Chang asked: "Fengxiao, how much do you think you have learned in this world?"
Guo Jia couldn't understand why Yuan Chang asked this, but Guo Jia still pondered. The six arts of the gentleman: etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics Guo Jia are all slightly familiar, astronomical geography, astronomy, astrology, and gossip of the five elements are also involved, and there will be no less to think about. After thinking for a moment, Guo Jia said confidently: "Lord, Jia thinks that what he has learned is at least one percent. ”
Yuan Chang smiled and shook his head.
"One in a thousand?"
Yuan Chang still shook his head.
"One in 10,000?"
Yuan Chang then shook his head, this time he didn't wait for Guo Jia to answer, and said directly: "Let's put it this way, if the knowledge of the world is a sea, then the knowledge you have learned is actually just a drop of water, or not even a drop of water." ”
"My lord, I don't believe in filial piety and wisdom. ”
Dian Wei listened to Yuan Chang's words and was the first to stand up and deny Yuan Chang. Among the people he knew and heard, he felt that few could be better than Guo Jia. However, now in Yuan Chang's eyes, what Guo Jia has learned is just a drop of water in the sea, or even worse, how can he accept it?
"It seems that Fengxiao, Zilong and Juzi, you don't believe it, right?"
Yuan Chang didn't feel dissatisfied, if he wasn't a traverser, someone stood in front of him and told him that what he knew was actually that little, Yuan Chang would definitely not believe it. However, as a traverser, Yuan Chang knows that there are really a lot of things to learn in this world. Let's just say that a city, a country, a continent, and the whole earth are full of knowledge, who can learn them all? After learning the knowledge on the earth, there is also the knowledge in the universe, and many problems have not been solved even in the era before Yuan Chang traveled.
"In that case, I'll do an experiment for you!"
Yuan Chang selected two bricks, both of which were similar in shape. It's just that there is a difference in weight, one is about one catty, and the other is about ten catties. Then, Yuan Chang took the four of them to the third floor of the inn.
"You say, which of these two bricks will hit the ground first?"
Yuan Chang pointed to the two bricks in his hand and looked at the four of them with a smile.
"Lord, needless to say, it must be the ten-pound one who landed first. ”
"My lord, I think so too. ”
Dian Wei and Han Sui both had the same answer, although Zhao Yun and Guo Jia did not speak, their expressions were obviously the same as those of Dian Wei and Han Sui.
"Smack!" "Smack!"
Yuan Chang didn't answer, holding the two bricks flat and letting go at the same time. Then, in the surprised eyes of Guo Jia and the others, two bricks fell to the ground at the same time.
"How is this possible? Lord, don't you know how to spell, let me see. ”
"Get out!"
Yuan Chang kicked away and stared at his Dian Wei with the eyes of an alien, and scolded with an angry smile.
"I know you can't understand it, because you haven't learned it. We in China do not have this kind of knowledge either, but, in Peter's country, there are people who study this knowledge, they call it physics. The reason why two things with different weights can land at the same time includes various factors such as gravitational attraction and acceleration in physics. If it's now ten pounds of cotton and ten pounds of turns, which one do you think will hit the ground first? ”
"My lord, I know, it must be the two of them landing together. ”
"Squat in the corner of the wall for me to draw circles. ”
Yuan Chang glared at Dian Wei angrily, and didn't see that Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and Han Sui were all thinking, but Dian Wei didn't think about it and said his answer as a matter of course. Of course, in the previous life, when the teacher asked this, all the classmates also said the answer like Dian Wei, and the result was naturally criticized. However, at that time, it was the teacher who was the biggest, and they could only be criticized. Now, Yuan Chang is the biggest, and there is naturally no suspense about criticizing Dianwei.
"The lord just said that it is the same kind of thing, cotton and bricks are different, I'm afraid it's not comparable. ”
Han Sui thought about it and shook his head helplessly.
"Also, when the lord dropped the two bricks just now, they were both facing the same direction, and if the direction is different, I am afraid it will be different. ”
Zhao Yun was sharp-eyed, and saw that Yuan Chang was throwing bricks vertically just now.
"By the way, when the lord picked bricks before, the shape of the two bricks he chose was almost the same. If the shape is different, the result may be different. ”
"I didn't think of it!"
Dian Wei muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, for fear of being scolded by Yuan Chang again.
"That's right!"
Yuan Chang nodded approvingly and praised: "You all have to think about the problems, very good." If you crumple ten pounds of cotton into a ball, and the ten pounds of cotton turn your head to make a piece, then the cotton will land first. If the conditions are not the same, the results will be different naturally. Physics is very broad and profound, and Peter and their country are only just in the learning stage, and if they want to understand it thoroughly, they can't do it in their whole life. So, don't think that we've learned a lot, but we still know very little. ”
Guo Jia and the others nodded approvingly, although there was a feeling of being hit. However, it made them realize that they still had a lot to learn, which stimulated their fighting spirit.
"Lord, can you tell us more about physics?"
Guo Jia asked expectantly, Yuan Chang should have been grinding with Liu Xi now, but he talked with Peter for a long time, so he hadn't gone to see Liu Xi until now. Although Guo Jia was a little embarrassed, now his heart was attracted by the physics that Yuan Chang said, and he hoped that Yuan Chang could say more.
There is no rush to meet Liu Xi, and it is equally important to meet Guo Jia's needs.
"Bong-hyo, join now that there is a thousand-pound boulder for you to put ten steps away, how can you do it? You can only be alone, and you can't let others help. ”
Listening to Yuan Chang's words, Guo Jia thought for a moment and then shook his head, how could he, a thin scholar, be able to move a thousand catties of boulders?
"Hey, lord, I can move. ”
Dian Wei showed off his biceps with a smug face, and kept blinking, as if he felt that he finally had a strength that Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and Han Sui couldn't compare.
A black line appeared on Yuan Chang's forehead, and his face twitched.
"Get out of here and draw circles, if you dare to say more, I, I... I will abstain you from alcohol for ten days. ”
"Don't be a lord, I'm wrong, I don't say anything, I stand aside and listen honestly!" Dian Wei immediately pursed his mouth like a good baby, shrunk his neck and didn't say a word.
"Zilong, Juzi, what about the two of you?"
Yuan Chang looked at Zhao Yun and Han Sui, but both of them shook their heads helplessly. Strength is not their strong point, and it is impossible for them to move a thousand pounds of boulders.
"In Peter's country there was a great scholar named Archimedes. He discovered the principle of the lever and invented the pulley. Through these two things, you can easily move a thousand catties of boulders, and even Fengxiao can easily do it. In Peter's country, where Archimedes was attacked by the Roman enemy, Archimedes built a huge crane to lift the ship dozens of meters into the air, and then threw it down to shatter the ship on the water. ”
Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and Han Sui all widened their eyes, and it was hard to imagine that a warship dozens of meters long could be hoisted up and shattered.
The more Yuan often talked, the more small they felt.
"Do you know that the general of the Roman Empire, who was hostile to the Archimedes, said, 'This is not a battle between two nations, but a battle between our Roman Empire and Archimedes alone?' ”
This sentence shocked Guo Jia and the four of them again, it is really unimaginable that one person can support the battle of a country.
Let's just say that Lu Bu is very invincible, but Zhao Yun and Dian Wei are enough to draw with Lu Bu. However, even the three of them are so small in the midst of thousands of troops. In this regard, Guo Jia finally stopped despising Peter, because he understood that Peter's country, no matter what aspect, would not be worse than Huaxia.
"Peter felt very comfortable, so now I teach Peter the language of Huaxia and let him write down the knowledge of their country. Then translate it into our language, as an exercise, and then this knowledge can be used by us in China. ”
"It's still the lord's master!"
Guo Jia and the four of them all smiled and praised that Peter had learned Chinese and could also learn the knowledge of China. The two sides can be said to learn from each other, and there is no such thing as anyone taking advantage of whom.
"The strength of a country depends not only on force, but also on knowledge. Since Emperor Wu 'deposed a hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone', our Chinese civilization has been a little stagnant. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, hundreds of schools of thought contended, and countless saints emerged. However, nowadays, how many of them are so, pioneering and innovating is necessary, and blindly being conservative will only lead the country to extinction. This is also the fundamental purpose of our new era, even if the imperial court is overthrown and a new dynasty is established, the fundamental cause is still not solved, and the country will perish sooner or later. And we are the fulcrum that pushes civilization forward. ”
Yuan Chang looked into the distance and said in a deep voice.
"I'll wait for the Lord to give encouragement!"
