Chapter 567: A Surprise Winner
"Kuan'er's mouth, black can be said to be white, why didn't I find it before."
The princess of Chu and the eldest grandson sat in the front row.
The scene of Li Kuan's scolding Kong Yingda just now, they naturally saw it clearly.
Logically, she naturally supports Li Kuan.
However, when I saw that the great Confucian of the dynasty was speechless by Li Kuan, I felt very speechless.
She actually didn't want Li Kuan to be so sharp, after all, he was just a prince.
Isn't it good to have children at home?
"Niangniang, what Kuan'er said just now is not a quibble, but everyone didn't face it up to it before. Although Confucianism certainly cannot be left behind, the development of science is also worth encouraging. ”
Empress Changsun is still more pragmatic, and she also sees the changes in Datang in recent years.
Of course, this has a lot to do with Li Kuan and Sun Simiao's use of dietary therapy to save her from the hands of Lord Yama.
After all, no one is really a saint and is affected by something.
"Of course, I know this truth."
When the princess of Chu saw that Li Kuan was about to announce the list of winners on the stage, she didn't speak again.
Those present are not interested in this list of winners, it is true or false.
It's just that some people's interest is higher, and some people's interest is lower.
"Arithmetic is the foundation of all sciences, whether it is the study of physics, the research of medicine, or the development of agriculture, it is inseparable from arithmetic. Good arithmetic tools and ideas can provide you with very good help, especially for the development of Ge Ge Ge Physicals, the role of arithmetic will be more and more great......"
As a basic discipline, the importance of arithmetic is undoubted.
Although Li Kuan felt that the calculus, linear algebra and other things he learned in college seemed to be useless after work.
However, it is undeniable that the development of these arithmetic has played a great role in promoting physics.
"The development of Datang's arithmetic in the past ten years is obvious to all, whether it is the introduction of the abacus to improve the efficiency of the calculation, or the use of the new double-entry accounting method, or the application of various arithmetic knowledge such as one-dimensional quadratic equations, binary one-dimensional equations, three-yuan one-dimensional equations and other fields in the field of architecture, all of which have played a very important role in the development of Datang."
"However, today I would like to introduce you to a discovery that may seem inconspicuous, but it is very significant. As we all know, round things can be seen everywhere in daily life. Whether in astronomy or the calendar, everything that involves a circle involves one thing, and that is pi. ”
"Some people may have heard of the arithmetic term pi for the first time, and the simple understanding is that it is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Although the definition is simple, how to calculate it correctly is very difficult. The arithmetic scholars of all dynasties have done a lot of research on this. ”
Those who have read the "Zhou Ji Sutra" and "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" should have the impression that the concept of three diameters is proposed in the books, that is to say, the pi rate is three in these books, in other words, the circumference of the circle is three times the length of the diameter. However, through the continuous study and exploration of generations of arithmeticists, the accuracy of this pi has been continuously improved. ”
"In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Heng calculated that the value of pi was 3.162, and in the Three Kingdoms period, Wang Fan calculated the value of pi was 3.155; when the time came to the Wei and Jin dynasties, the arithmetic scholar Liu Hui believed that the value of pi was 3.14, and then Zu Chongzhi improved the accuracy of this data to seven decimal places."
Li Kuan said a bunch of things on stage, but most of the people below were confused.
Aren't you ready to announce the winners?
Why did you say something that everyone couldn't understand for a long time?
"Today, the winner of our Datang Royal Science and Technology Award for Arithmetic is a person who has successfully calculated pi to 16 decimal places, which has provided great help for the development of our astronomy and calendar, and for our accurate research on arithmetic.
Moreover, the person who calculated this pi is a new student who has just entered the Arithmetic College of Guanshishan Academy for a year, and is still a female student, below, we congratulate Chen Wumei of the Arithmetic College of Guanshishan Academy, who won the Datang Royal Science and Technology Award for 15 years of Zhenguan! ”
There is no applause!
This is not popular now!
Fortunately, Li Kuan arranged for the people of the opera house to rehearse the music used in the award ceremony in advance, otherwise the scene would have been cold.
This result is really too unexpected for everyone.
A new student in the first year of the arithmetic college, still a woman, actually won the arithmetic award!
"This result is really unexpected!"
In the lecture hall, Liu Yuan said with emotion.
Chen Wumei's article on the calculation of pi, Liu Yuan also read it.
Although he felt that the process was very exquisite, Liu Yuan did not have too many special feelings.
Who knew that her master actually awarded her the arithmetic award!
Isn't this a slap in the face of other male instructors and male students?
"Senior brother, an accident is an accident, but to some extent, it's not an accident at all."
Di Renjie seemed to feel Li Kuan's deep meaning.
Liu Yuan: "What do you mean by that?" ”
"Today is the first award of the Datang Royal Science and Technology Award, so the most important thing is to let everyone fully realize the existence of such an award in Datang, and also let everyone realize that this award is eclectic and talented, as long as the results are good, there will be a chance to win. Senior brother said that it was a sensation to award the arithmetic award to Chen Wumei, or to issue it to you and me, or to the sensation of His Royal Highness King Jin? ”
Di Renjie's words left Liu Yuan speechless.
Just think about it a little bit, it must be a sensation for a special and ordinary student like Chen Wumei.
Looking at this posture, whether it is for or against, tomorrow the major newspapers in Chang'an City will definitely have all kinds of reports about the Datang Royal Science and Technology Award.
And as a storyteller in various restaurants who follow up hot news in a timely manner, he will not give up such good material.
It won't take long for Datang to have a large group of people who know about the Datang Royal Science and Technology Award.
In a way, how famous an award is means how influential it is.
As for the gold content, sometimes it is not so important.
For example, the Fields Medal in later generations, although it is also known as the Nobel Prize in mathematics, but the people who know about the Fields Medal are estimated to be less than a fraction of the Nobel Prize.
Li Kuan naturally hopes to make the Datang Royal Science and Technology Award a universal celebration like the Nobel Prize, rather than an existence like the Fields Medal.
……
Chen Wumei felt a little dizzy!
When she received the invitation yesterday, she was surprised.
Unexpectedly, the biggest accident was yet to come.
I have loved arithmetic since I was a child.
When she was in Dengzhou, her arithmetic was the best in the entire Mongolian school, and even the teachings sometimes couldn't answer her questions.
After entering the Mutual Aid Primary School and getting in touch with more content, Chen Wumei's arithmetic talent was more dazzling in front of everyone.
Chen Si'er also saw her sister's talent in arithmetic, and also knew that Li Kuan attached great importance to all kinds of talents, so she strengthened her idea of sending her to Chang'an to go to school.
You must know that Chen Wumei is now sixteen years old, and in the countryside of this era, she would have given birth to a baby and become a mother.
Let her go to Guanshishan Academy, he was under a lot of pressure.
Fortunately, Chen Wumei is also competitive, even in Guanshishan Academy, she can be a woman who can dominate the crowd.
"Fifth Sister Chen, hurry up to the stage, Your Majesty will give you an award in person."
Just when Chen Wumei was in a daze, the student next to her pushed her.
"Oh...... I...... I ......"
Chen Wumei stood there a little helplessly.
Take the stage to receive your award?
For so many years, she has not encountered the scene of receiving an award.
However, in a battle like today, she really didn't even think about it.
Fortunately, Fang Yiyu, who was watching the lively Fang Yiyu on the side, took the initiative to go over and help, so that Chen Wumei walked onto the stage in a daze.
Li Shimin is already standing on the stage with Li Kuan.
To be honest, it was the first time he had given an award to a female student.
Especially when I saw the girl in front of me like the palace maid who had just entered the palace, Nuno shrunk back and couldn't imagine that she was actually the winner of the Datang Royal Science and Technology Award for Arithmetic.
is also a rich little woman with a lot of money.
However, the more he saw this contrast, Li Shimin somewhat understood Li Kuan's motives for selecting the winners.
The gold content of the award-winning content must be wanted.
On this basis, what kind of candidate can cause a sensation and cause greater repercussions, what kind of person will win the award.
Li Shimin's head is very smart, and he immediately has psychological preparation for the winners behind him.
Nine times out of ten, there are all kinds of unexpected results in the back.
"Fifth Sister Chen, right? Come, don't be afraid, stand here. ”
Li Shimin showed a kind smile.
On the side of the stage, there are also painters arranged by Guanshishan Academy who are quickly recording the picture of the award in the painting.
For this reason, Li Kuan also personally invited Yan Liben to be in charge of this matter.
"Your Majesty, ...... Thank you, His Royal Highness King Chu! ”
Chen Wumei felt that her mind was blank, and she couldn't say anything except to say thank you reflexively.
Originally, Li Kuan also wanted to arrange for each winner to give a five-minute impromptu speech, but at Xu Jingzong's suggestion, this process was canceled.
It seems that Xu Jingzong still has a deeper understanding of these personnel.
At this time, don't talk about impromptu speeches, they can't even finish speaking.
When Chen Wumei stepped down, Li Kuan continued to announce the next award.
As for Li Shimin, he was invited to the seat next to him to rest, and the province would go up and down for a while, which was not majestic enough.
"The sun rises and the sun rests, and the people of the Central Plains Dynasty have always lived like this. But what is the mystery of this light after the sun rises? What exactly does this light do? Many people don't think about it. Many years ago, the craftsmen of the workshop made an epoch-making product - glass, and later there were glass mirrors, as well as glass windows, glass conservatories and binoculars.
However, the craftsmen did not stop their exploration, they studied the changes that occur when light passes through different shapes of glass, discovered magnifying glasses, and through a series of combinations and optical studies, a microscope was developed that could observe the microscopic world. ”
Compared with the content of arithmetic just introduced, everyone should understand what Li Kuan is saying now more thoroughly.
After all, the emergence of microscopes and microorganisms some time ago really attracted the attention of many people, and even caused a lot of controversy.
"In order to encourage craftsmen to pay in optical research and encourage them to continue to explore the unknown world, this year's Datang Royal Science and Technology Award will be awarded to Chen Dali, a newly promoted eighth-level worker in the glass workshop, hoping that he can push the principle of light and the production of microscopes to a deeper realm in the future......
Chen Dali couldn't hear what Li Kuan was saying in the audience.
His reaction was no better than that of Chen Wumei.
I'm just a craftsman.
A craftsman who has not been valued since ancient times.
Now that His Royal Highness the King of Chu is actually going to award such a major award to himself, he really never even dreamed of it.
Besides, others don't know what the microscope and glass are all about, can he Chen Dali not know?
If you really want to talk about credit, Li Kuan's credit must be greater than his.
However, when Chen Dali's eyes met Li Kuan's eyes, he seemed to understand a little.
This is his own prince.
If you have trouble finding him, you will be credited to him.
is such a prince, even if he is broken, it will be difficult to repay him.
Chen Dali took a deep breath, straightened his somewhat hunched waist, and then walked towards the stage.
Although everyone in the audience who attended today's award ceremony was a little surprised that Li Kuan awarded the Gewu Award to the craftsman, it was much easier for everyone to accept it with Chen Wumei taking the lead just now.
At this time, everyone is curious about who the medicine and agriculture prizes will be awarded.
Fortunately, Li Kuan did not grind, and soon announced the winner of the medical award.
"Che Mo Duo Duo? Is that the goddess doctor? Isn't there one called Kujo Kyoka? ”
When Li Kuan announced the winner of the medical award, even the princess of Chu couldn't help but ask the eldest grandson queen next to her.
Without him!
It's really Kujo Pricot Kao's fame.,It's been too hot lately.。
Whether it is a folk or a noble family, people are born every day, and almost every day there are people who have difficult births.
Don't look at the caesarean section surgery, it has not been very long, but it has really saved many lives.
Even if the mother is not saved in the end, the child can basically survive smoothly.
It's many times better than it used to be.
It is no wonder that people like the princess of Chu, who have been in the deep palace for a long time, have also heard of their names.
"Niangniang, Kujou Xingxiang is a native of the Japanese country, and judging from the current situation, Kuan'er should set up this award for the Tang Dynasty, of course, maybe it will be for foreigners at any time. In fact, this Qibi Duoduo is also second only to the existence of Jiujo Xingxiang, and she is also the sister of General Qibi He Li. Her medical skills are said to have been taught by Kuan'er and Lin Ran themselves, and now she is also one of the most famous girls in the Affiliated Medical Center of Guanshishan Academy Medical College. ”
Empress Eldest Sun naturally knew about it.
No way, it's too difficult for a woman to be famous in this era.
……
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is really eclectic and talented, that Chen Wumei and Chen Dali are already surprising enough, and now they have awarded the medical award to a Turkic woman, which is really ......"
Chao Yuan and Chao Fang sat behind them, looking at Qi Duoduo who was walking towards the stage with emotion.
Although the caesarean section is also very remarkable, they originally thought that the winner would be Sun Simiao or Lin Ran.
After all, the two of them are the real masters of the Guanshishan Academy School of Medicine.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu made the award ceremony of the Tang Royal Science and Technology Award on a grand scale, and took out a heavy reward, in order to encourage all walks of life to delve into technology."
Naturally, the eye of the nest side is not bad.
In fact, at this time, many people have already seen what Li Kuan's idea is.
In other words, Li Kuan can also be regarded as a conspiracy.
