Chapter 1087: The sky is round

"Spread the decree and summon this Song Yingxing to me. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info," the potter ordered.

The last person on Bao Zheng's recommendation list is Song Yingxing, the owner of the "science and technology" talent, the creator of "Heavenly Creation", and the strange person who can make Dawei's science and technology advance by leaps and bounds.

Unexpectedly, he would appear in front of him in such a way.

Speaking of which, the potter was also a little depressed, you must know that Song Yingxing was a later military general who he had summoned not long ago in the process of defeating Sun Ce, but he appeared so soon.

And Dugu Jialuo, a person who had been summoned as early as Jiaozhou, did not appear for a long time.

The potters began to wonder if the system was wrong.

However, thinking of what the system elf said, the summoning is divided into before and after, but the timing of summoning the generals to come to him is not before and after, and the potter can only wait patiently.

Fortunately, Song Yingxing came quickly enough, and the potters were interested, but they wanted to see if this Song Yingxing was a qualified scientist.

Huang Yueying was busy passing on the will of the potter.

Half an hour later, the eunuch came to report, saying that Song Yingxing had entered the palace and was waiting outside the palace.

"Xuan." The potter put down his pen and flicked his hand.

Footsteps rang out, and a moment later, a scribe stepped into the imperial study.

The pottery merchant glanced at this, but saw that this Song Yingxing was indeed a scholar, but for some reason, he always squinted when he walked.

"Minister Song Yingxing, meet Your Majesty." Song Yingxing took a few steps to the front of the steps, knelt on his legs, and bowed his head to the ground.

It's just that because he knelt too far forward, he knelt directly on the edge of the steps, and when he knocked his head forward, his head hit the steps with a "bang".

"Ouch-" Song Yingxing screamed in pain, covered his head and grinned.

Huang Yueying next to her couldn't help but hide her mouth and snicker when she saw his embarrassed appearance, and even the potter couldn't help but be even more amused by his funny scene.

"Song Yingxing, how are you, you didn't break your head, do you want Doctor Xuanbian to come and take a look at you?" The potter quickly held back a laugh and asked with concern.

Song Yingxing realized that he was rude, so he hurriedly put down his hand, endured the pain, and laughed at himself embarrassedly: "The minister is used to it, it's just a small bump, don't get in the way, let Your Majesty laugh, and ask Your Majesty for forgiveness." ”

"Your Majesty, he said that he is used to it, it seems that he usually hits his head like this, and there are still people who have such a habit, it's really funny." Huang Yueying leaned next to the potter and bit her ear lowly.

The potter also felt that this Song Yingxing was a little funny, a nerd's cute look, his eyes traced back and forth on Song Yingxing's face, and finally from his eyes that had always narrowed into a slit.

"Song Yingxing, I see that you are always squinting, could it be that you have some eye disease?" The potter asked.

Song Yingxing arched his hand and sighed: "The minister doesn't have any eye disease, but he has been reading since he was a child, and his eyes have been bad, and his eyesight has become very poor. ”

It turned out to be myopia......

The potter now understood, thinking that Song Yingxing's "Heavenly Creations" involved many aspects such as agriculture, forestry, fishery, chemistry, astronomy, etc., covering almost all industries except liberal arts.

Reading so much that it is not surprising that the eyes are short-sighted.

"It's also an admirable spirit to look bad for the sake of reading, and it seems that you should be a bookworm." The potter restrained his smile, and his tone showed approval.

Song Yingxing's eyes were surprised, and he asked rhetorically: "How does Your Majesty know the nickname of the minister?" ”

Looking at his serious appearance, it seems that he regards the nickname of bookworm as a kind of glory, and his cute appearance is really cute, which makes the potter and Huang Yueying next to him want to laugh again.

"I didn't expect your nickname to be a bookworm, but in fact, I just guessed it, cough cough ......"

The potter suppressed the desire to laugh, coughed a few times and returned to normal, and said: "I saw that Bao Zheng recommended you in the recital, so I summoned you to come and take a look. ”

"Your Majesty, may I ask." Song Yingxing's tone revealed a bit of well-read confidence.

The potter raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the outside of the hall door, and said, "If I start from here and look south, where can I end up?" ”

Song Yingxing was stunned for a moment, narrowed his eyes, and obviously didn't think that Tao Shangshang would ask such a strange question.

"Looking south, it is natural to go to Jiaozhou and to the South China Sea." After Song Yingxing reacted, he replied without thinking.

"You're going to be wrong." The potter shook his head, "I mean to keep looking south, all the way without stopping, assuming that you can walk on the sea as if you were walking on the ground, and even the highest mountains can be crossed, so you can keep looking south." ”

Song Yingxing looked surprised, looked up at Tao Tong's eyes, and a bit of strange color burst out of his squinting eyes, but he quickly fell silent.

He turned his head and looked in the direction of the south, his expression was in a trance, as if his eyes had crossed the boundless continent, the boundless ocean, and looked towards the border of the world.

"Keep looking south? I hadn't thought of this question before, but where would I go if I kept looking south? Huang Yueying's pretty face was also confused, and she lowered her eyebrows and pondered.

The potter did not rush him, but waited for his answer.

"Back to square one!"

After a long silence, Song Yingxing suddenly turned around with his sleeves flicked and these four words burst out of his mouth.

The potter nodded slightly, and a glimmer of light quietly passed in his eyes.

Huang Yueying couldn't help but burst out laughing and said, "What are you kidding, from here all the way to the south, you should go to Vietnam, how can you go back to the original point?" ”

Huang Yueying was a little contemptuous, but the potter asked very seriously: "Song Yingxing, what is the reason for your so-thought, tell me about it." ”

"Ahem." Song Yingxing coughed dryly a few times, a little embarrassed: "The reason why the minister thinks so is naturally the reason for the minister, but if the minister says this reason, I am afraid that His Majesty and Niangniang will think it is too ridiculous, and even think that the minister is crazy." ”

The potter had vaguely guessed what he was going to say, so he flicked his hand and smiled generously: "You have any reason, but it doesn't hurt to say it, even if the reason is ridiculous, even if everyone in the world treats you as a madman, I won't." ”

Song Yingxing's figure shook slightly, a little confidence appeared on his face, Fang cleared his throat, and said: "Actually, the minister has always thought that the earth under our feet is actually round, so we started from here, looked all the way to the south, and in the end, maybe just went around in a circle, and returned to the original point." ”

The potter laughed.

Song Yingxing's answer was exactly what he wanted.

The science of this era is limited, people generally believe that the sky is round, and the potter is afraid that Song Yingxing is a fake, so he will ask this question that transcends the times to test his authenticity.

Only the real Song Yingxing, only the creator of "Heavenly Creation", will have the scientific literacy that transcends the times and gives answers that transcend the times.

Song Yingxing did it.

"What are you kidding, the truth that the sky is round and the place is round, who in the world doesn't know, how did you get here, and the earth under your feet became round!?" Huang Yueying immediately questioned in surprise.

It is no wonder that although Huang Yueying has the talent of "God of Work", her ability is mostly limited to making machinery, and her scientific insight is not the owner of "science and technology" talents such as Song Yingxing.

Facing Huang Yueying's questioning, Song Yingxing smiled faintly: "In fact, not only will we return to the same place if we look south, but also look north, west, or east, no matter which direction we go down, we should eventually return to the same place." ”

After a mouthful of spittle, Song Yingxing said in a conclusive tone: "Actually, to be precise, the earth under our feet is not a circle, but a sphere. ”

"Spherical!"

Huang Yueying's expression was even more unbelievable, and the corners of her mouth even raised a somewhat sarcastic sneer, "If you say so, wouldn't the person who lives on the other side of the ball fall into the sky with his head down and his feet up." ”

The potter was happy again.

When he saw Huang Yueying's scene, he not only recalled the world before he crossed over, but when he was still young, when he heard the teacher say that the earth was spherical, the tablemate with a ponytail next to him also raised the same question like Huang Yueying.

"Well...... Song Yingxing was a little embarrassed at this time, "The people on the other side of the minister think that the people on the other side of the ball should be like us, and they won't fall into the sky, as for why they won't fall, the minister hasn't been able to figure it out for the time being, and the minister can't give Niangniang a reasonable explanation." ”

"Isn't it easy, the reason why they didn't fall into the sky is naturally because of gravity." The potter laughed and blurted out without much thought.

Universal gravitation?

As soon as these words came out, Song Yingxing and Huang Yueying were stunned at the same time, both of them looked confused, looking at the potter blankly.

"Your Majesty has just ...... What does it mean when we say gravity? Song Yingxing was busy asking, his expression was like that of a nerd who was eager to learn, and suddenly ran into a question that he was extremely interested in.

"Ahem, this gravitational force is a truth that I have recently figured out on a whim, and it will be a long time to talk about, so I'll discuss it with you when I have time."

Before the words fell, he didn't wait for Song Yingxing to ask again, so he shouted: "Song Yingxing listens to the order." ”

"Minister...... The minister is here. Song Yingxing quickly put away his curiosity.

The potter waved his hands and shouted: "I plan to establish a new Ministry of Science and Technology, which will specifically collect and train talents like you who are proficient in astronomy and geography and craftsmanship for the use of my Great Wei, and I now officially appoint you as the secretary of the Ministry of Science and Technology." ”

Song Yingxing was stunned on the spot, and the whole person was stunned, and he didn't react for a long time.

He originally thought that he was such a nerd who liked to delve into "strange tricks and tricks" and was penniless, and he could be summoned by the Son of Heaven, and he could still talk so much to the Son of Heaven and discuss those esoteric topics, which was already the smoke of the ancestral tomb, which was flattering enough.

He never expected that the Son of Heaven would directly appoint him as the secretary of the Ministry of Science and Technology!

That is to say, overnight, he went from a flat-headed ordinary person to a scholar with the same name as his recommender, Master Bao!

Song Yingxing can not be confused.

Even Huang Yueying, who was beside her, was stunned, her eyes were full of surprise, obviously she couldn't figure out why her husband, her husband, was so serious about this absurd statement that "the earth is spherical".

Surprised, Huang Yueying quietly approached the potter, sniffed lightly on his body, and muttered: "Your Majesty, he didn't drink today, how could he make such an incredible decision......
