"I can't imagine that you are such a ...... Ba Lao"
"Ba Lao, are you serious?"
"Drunk high ......"
"It's not easy for Ba Lao, and if you are a father and a mother, you should also find a daughter-in-law to help him with the old man......"
In a group of young people, some people say very old-fashioned things.
"Hey! Ay! Don't get me wrong, I'm getting older, and pretending to be forced or anything is secondary, in fact, I just want to ask the master, the sentence that Fermat wrote in the blank space of a mathematical treatise is, after all, a puzzle for the ages.
This puzzle was not solved by later generations until more than 300 years later.
So I would like to ask him what the proof method he has found, and how it is different from the proof method known to our descendants, and maybe it will be a good story in the history of mathematical science, and maybe a milestone event. Guys say right, right? ”
"Actually, your old man wants to expose his tricks to his face, right?"
Someone in the crowd asked suddenly.
"Of course it means, but I hope it's not true......"
At this time, Ba Fengtian replied solemnly.
"Well, as a lover of literature, then I'm going to go to Bacon and discuss his "Academic Progress" and "New Daxi Island", after in-depth research, I very much suspect that he may have been pierced by the soul in his later years, and the ideas in it are abnormally advanced compared to this era, tell you Ha, no one will fight with me at that time!"
In the group of high school students, Han Qisheng stood up and shouted.
"Hey, Xiao Han is good, he has this kind of research at a young age, huh? Looks like you're a reader, too! ”
"The problem is that Bacon is dead, died in 1626, and now it's 1657!"
"......"
Xiao Han muttered, and sat down with a red face amid everyone's laughter.
"Suddenly we found ourselves living in the same time as Leibniz and Newton!"
"Really?"
"That's right, Newton was born in 1643, and Leibniz in 1646!"
"Well, it looks like we're going to meet these two great men."
"Hmph, you have forgotten, the true great man of our time, Baruch Spinoza! An important rationalist in the history of modern human philosophy, along with Descartes and Leibniz, author of "Descartes' Principles of Philosophy", "Theological and Political Theory", "Ethics", and "Theory of Intellectual Improvement", uh, he is only twenty years old now, right? ”
As Hu Xiaolin spoke, he suddenly sighed and said:
"Actually, when I was in high school, my dream was to be a philosopher, and I read a copy of "The Philosophy of Descartes" at a used book stall, and then I was ------ mercilessly ridiculed by everyone---- including my teacher...... I just didn't expect it, I still have this day......"
So everyone looked at Hu Xiaolin with a kind of "I didn't expect you to have such a strange ideal", and then someone in the crowd asked:
"Dr. Zhu, what is Newton doing now?"
About five years later, on June 3, 1661, Newton entered Trinity College, Cambridge, where teaching was based on the teachings of Aristotle, but Newton preferred to read modern philosophers such as Descartes and astronomers such as Galileo, Copernicus, and Kepler.
Then, a few years later, in 1665, he discovered the generalized binomial theorem and began to develop a new mathematical theory, which became known as calculus. ”
"it! I almost failed calculus, and the old cow really hurt me! ”
The crowd didn't know who was muttering.
“...... In the same year, Newton received his degree, but when the University of Cambridge was closed to prevent the Great Plague of London, Newton continued to study calculus, optics, and the laws of gravitation at home for the next two years. ”
"Cattle Batch ......"
"I wondered, why do people have such an academic environment?"
"I heard that the king is very supportive."
"Yes, at that time, the king of France seemed to be engaged in the Royal Academy of Sciences, poaching talents all over Europe, and the British did not deal with the French, so they were in a hurry......"
"Dig up talents, too?"
"Of course, otherwise, it would be terrible!"
Facing the buzz in the conference room, Dr. Zhu had no choice but to raise his voice and continue:
"Three years later, he used a prism to break down sunlight into a series of color spectra, demonstrated his reflecting telescope, laid the foundation of modern optics, and in 1669 he was awarded the Lucasian Professorship in Mathematics, and his famous work, The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, seems to have been published shortly before that time."
"I think we can afford to send a fleet to Europe in 1669, what do you think?"
At this time, Peng Qiang suddenly said to everyone.
"If we try, we should be able to, right?"
Someone in the crowd nodded in agreement.
"Students, colleagues, what is happening in Europe right now will affect the history of mankind!"
After a pause, Dr. Zhu glanced around at everyone again, and his tone became very solemn:
"First of all, a few years ago, the scholars of England set up an invisible college, which was an academic exchange organization of a group of scientists, and with the expansion of the ranks, four years later, well, at a meeting in 1660, it was announced that a physical college for the promotion of experimental knowledge of physics and mathematics was formally established, and soon with the approval of King Charles II, the academy became the Royal Society of England for the purpose of promoting knowledge of the natural sciences, and the Royal Society established a new natural philosophy according to Bacon's ideas, emphasizing the application of science, It gradually became a world-renowned academic society. ”
Dr. Zhu took a sip of tea and moistened his throat:
"Now I'm going to talk about the big thing happening in the world right now, the Dutch scientist Huygens proposed the principle of conservation of momentum, and a few years later was elected a member of the Royal Society of the United Kingdom. Within two or three years, Britain would issue a second nautical ordinance, the Statute of Navigation, which represented mercantilism, with the aim of further breaking the Dutch monopoly on maritime transport and the colonial market.
As recently as the former maritime law, the British stipulated that European goods could only be transported to British territory by British ships, and that goods produced in Africa, Asia, and the Americas could only be transported by British or British colonial ships.
This second nautical regulation also stipulates that the captain and at least three-quarters of the crew on board must be British, so as to solve the employment problem of the British people.
As a result, these regulations had a serious impact on the Dutch ships and trade, and the Second Anglo-Dutch War broke out, which had been fought on and off for ten years now, and in the course of the war had begun to emerge a three-tier system of fleets, sub-fleets, and corps.
The specific form of naval warfare has developed from a frontboard combat to a column attack based on artillery warfare, and seizing sea supremacy has become the main strategic task of the navy.
Oh, by the way, Cromwell of England was going to die two years later, and after his death, Charles Stuart returned to London to take the throne as Charles II, and the Stuart dynasty was restored.
In order to compete with the British, France's Colbert, with the support of Louis XIV, will create the French Academy of Inscriptions and Letters next year---- the predecessor of the French Royal Academy of Sciences.
He presided over the construction of the Paris Observatory, and then began a large-scale French immigration to Canada to establish the new French colony. ”
"! Canada, such a big piece of land, why don't we Chinese ......?"
"Don't think about it, six years later, in 1661, I issued an order to move the sea!"
Someone replied hatefully.
"What the hell is the relocation order?"
"Don't even know about the sea relocation order? Your Chinese history was taught by your PE teacher?"
"Hey! Don't let the physical education teacher carry this pot! ”
