Chapter 148: The Globe
The next day, the morning dynasty
Li Yang walked into the Qilin Hall with a ball in his hand.
Suddenly, it attracted everyone's attention.
They've never seen one with a ball in the morning!
???
What's going on?
Everyone looked at Li Yang in surprise, and at the same time looked at the ball he brought curiously.
I saw that the ball was still very different, it was mounted on a shelf, it was propped up, and it seemed that it could still spin.
Moreover, there were a lot of colorful graphics on the ball, and for a while, everyone was very puzzled.
If, at this time, a person who crosses sees this ball, he will definitely groan, isn't this a globe?
Yes, the globe brought by Li Yang is really similar to the globe bought in the stationery store of later generations, at first glance.
It took half a day to complete this globe with the craftsmanship of several craftsmen.
The whole globe, the size of a basketball, is a spherical shape woven from bamboo strips, filled with straw on the inside, and then wrapped in cowhide and sewn on the outside, which is well-made.
In order to make the globe easy to see, Li Yang also borrowed the style of the globe of later generations, and asked the craftsmen of the Zuofu to add an iron needle and an iron base to the axis of the globe, so that the entire globe could be placed on the table and the globe could be rotated.
In addition, according to his own memory, Li Yang painted the seven continents and four oceans, and the entire globe is not bad except for the accuracy of the seven continents and the four oceans.
Moreover, Li Yang also found plant pigments to dye the four oceans into blue oceans, the poles of the Arctic into white cold lands, and even Tibet into white snow-capped mountains......
For Li Yang, he is extremely satisfied with being able to create such a beautiful globe by hand.
Originally, at the beginning, Li Yang planned to use the map of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and then cooperate with the geographical theory of the nine states advocated by Zou Yan, a Qi man in the Warring States Period, and then tell the emperor about this world.
But on the last thought, as a traverser, how faceless is it to tell the world from the incorrect views of the ancients?
Moreover, promoting a wrong view of world geography is meaningless to Li Yang. Even if the geographical theory of the nine states advocated by Zou Yan was accepted by the emperor through his own incorruptible tongue, it would be wrong and not the real world geography.
It's a globe, isn't it fragrant?
And Li Yang is still a little selfish, if the globe appeared in the Great Qin Empire more than 200 BC, wouldn't this be awesome?
Therefore, although Li Yang's globe is only based on memory, roughly depicting the seven continents and four oceans on the globe, which is not accurate, it is already of epoch-making significance.
Not only did it depict seven continents and four oceans in more than 200 BC, but more importantly, it also taught the world that the earth is round.
I just ask you, do you accept it?
So, it's enough to illustrate the true geography of the world.
"Prime Minister, this is ...... What? ”
As soon as Li Yang entered the hall, he ordered someone to move a small wooden shelf, and then placed the globe on the wooden shelf, and everyone couldn't help but ask.
Li Yang smiled, pointed to the globe placed on the wooden shelf in front of the main hall and said, "This is called the globe!" ”
"Globe?"
Everyone looked confused.
It's a new term that you've never heard before.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end, because Li You was familiar with Li Yang, he asked directly: "My lord, what is the globe?" ”
"The globe is our earth!" Li Yang said.
Li You: "What is the earth?" ”
Li Yang: "Get out of here!" ”
“…………”
Li You gave Li Yang an expression that didn't say anything, and then returned to his rank in a sneer.
Li Yang is also drunk, this situation doesn't seem to be good!
Looking at this situation, Mo said that it is difficult to explain the seven continents and four oceans on the globe and what the earth is.
Li Yang's brows tightened for a while, and at this moment, the emperor also came.
As soon as Yingzheng arrived at the main hall, he immediately said "huh", and saw the difference in today's Qilin Hall at a glance, because there was an extra shelf in front of the hall, and there was a colorful ball on the shelf.
"It's ...... What? Ying Zheng asked.
Li Yang: Should I call it a map machine? Or should I call it a globe?
After thinking about it, in the end, Li Yang decided to restore the truth and replied truthfully: "Back to Your Majesty, this thing was made by a minister, and it is called a globe." ”
"Oh? Globe? ”
Ying Zheng suddenly became interested, came directly to the front of the hall, and looked around the globe.
Finally, he pointed to the globe with interest and asked, "What is this globe for?" ”
"It's the earth, it's the world!" In order to avoid him asking what the earth is, which sounds extremely intellectually hurtful in later generations, Li Yang directly told him that this is the world.
Sure enough, Ying Zheng nodded after hearing this, and then said, "What is the earth?" ”
Li Yang almost fell to the ground.
It seems that in the future, it will be necessary to add a subject to the third grade of primary school, which will be called --- "Nature and Geography".
"Your Majesty, the earth is this earth, in fact...... The earth is a sphere, and the minister calls it the earth, which is the general appearance of the earth. Li Yang took a deep breath and still told the world.
Emperor: "............"
Everyone: "............"
The entire hall was silent for a second.
Then, Ying Zheng: "Nonsense, how can this earth be a round ball." ”
Everyone nodded their heads.
Even Li Si felt that what Li Yang said was too ridiculous, it was the first time that someone would be stupid enough to say that the earth was a ball.
Li Yang was anxious: "Your Majesty, the minister is not talking nonsense, this is true, this earth is exactly the same as this one." ”
Ying Zheng rolled his eyes, pointed to the globe and said, "I ask you, if the earth is round, then the people who live below can stand firmly?" Won't it fall out? ”
Li Yang: "............"
I should tell you guys about the theory of gravity before I make a globe!
"Why didn't you answer what I asked you? Can't you answer it? Ying Zheng rolled his eyes and glared at Li Yang, with a little smug on his face.
Li Yang: "Your Majesty, if I tell you that apples fall to the ground, not to the sky, it's all because the earth has gravity, this ...... Can you believe it? ”
Ying Zheng: "Aren't you pure, apples have gravity, don't fall down, do they float to the sky?" ”
Li Yang: "............"
At this time, Li Yang felt that his IQ had been hit by 10,000 points.
He suddenly thought of a later sentence: Newton's coffin board could not be pressed.
What's even worse is that Li Yang couldn't think of how to refute Yingzheng's words for a while.
You're going to say that the apple falls down because of gravity.
The other party will say, yes, because it has weight, it falls down, and it has a relationship with gravity?
And something that has no weight, when it is blown by the wind, it can float......
Li Yang was very congested, if he could travel through time and space freely, he would like to bring Newton over.
At this time, Ying Zheng asked, "Where did you hear this from?" ”
Li Yang said: "A man named Newton said it. ”
Ying Zheng said: "This person is a crooked theory, where is this person, send someone to arrest him and cut him down!" ”
Li Yang almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood......
I don't believe that the earth is round, and I don't believe in gravity, so I wouldn't have made a globe if I had known.
Thinking of this, Li Yang realized for the first time what it means to be difficult to argue.
Seemingly......
This dick can only make a trick again!
Thinking of this, Li Yang said proudly: "Actually...... The earth is round, it was told to me by the minister's teacher! ”
"What? What did your teacher say!? ”
At this moment, Ying Zheng was really taken aback: "Is it the old immortal who gave me immortal medicine?" ”
Li Yang nodded coaxingly: "Well, that's right, it's exactly what the minister's immortal teacher said." ”
"Oh? So, isn't it...... Is the earth really round? ”
Ying Zheng was shocked.
Ying Zheng didn't believe in science, he believed in superstition, and Li Yang was also speechless.
Li Yang nodded: "Yes, as the saying goes, stand tall and see far, as long as you stand high enough, the people on the ground will become the size of ants, and the teacher will fly to the sky, so he will naturally be able to see the whole earth in his eyes, and the earth at this time will become a ball, so the minister calls it the earth." ”
After Ying Zheng heard this, he frowned, obviously recalling Li Yang's words.
At this time, many people in the Manchu Dynasty did not believe in the words of ghosts and gods.
However, the emperor believed that they did not dare to question it either.
However, Feng Quji still deliberately asked: "I don't know what the immortal teacher of the prime minister is, I am very curious." ”
Ying Zheng also immediately became interested and asked, "Yes, what is the immortal name of that immortal?" ”
Li Yang was stunned for a moment, then pointed to the sky, and said shamelessly: "I can't hide it, the minister's teacher is called Satellite." ”
