"Brother-in-law, can you start!" Meng Yun had already taken off his coat at this time, wearing a short hanger and preparing to fly the glider himself.

"Uncle, don't worry!" Chen Xu cheekily twitched and grabbed Meng Yun's arm, "This glider has not been tested yet, first find a piece of wood that is about the same size as a human and tie it to it for an interview and fly it once, so as not to be injured if the weight is unbalanced!" ”

Meng Yun was stunned for a moment and came to his senses and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, what my brother-in-law said is that it is better to test the flight first!" ”

And a group of gentlemen had already heard Chen Xu's words clearly, so they began to ask people to look for wood, and soon a few people carried an abandoned piece of wood from the river bank, and there were knives and axes on the spot, and the old lame man also understood what Chen Xu meant, and commanded a few apprentices to quickly saw down the wood, and then chopped it a little with an axe, cutting it into the shape of a human stick, and soon tied it to the wooden frame under the glider with hemp rope.

"Clean up all the stones on this river beach, at least a distance of 200 zhang long, and the crowd should be scattered for 100 zhang, don't crowd to block ......"

Under Chen Xu's command, the crowd of onlookers soon retreated and dispersed, and many people who watched the excitement also spontaneously began to move and clean up the stones on the river beach, and some even filled in the uneven places.

Almost everyone has seen a bamboo kite, but it is the first time that it has heard that it can carry people into the sky.

However, when they heard that this thing was the invention and creativity of Qinghe Hou, everyone's hearts were full of excitement and expectation.

Flying high in the sky with people is something that has never been imagined.

Now that this huge bamboo kite is in front of you, you can immediately see the effect of the test flight, so that the river beach is already boiling with noise, and there are countless people who have heard the news and flocked from other places inside and outside the city, all wanting to see this magnificent spectacle with their own eyes.

It took nearly an hour before and after the busy work, the runway was cleared, and tens of thousands of people had gathered on the river beach at this time, which frightened the forbidden troops guarding the city gate, and not only sent two soldiers to maintain order, but also reported the matter to the palace and the lieutenant's palace.

The two horses used to pull the glider were also tied to the ropes, and the two sturdy guards mounted their horses, released the ropes for more than twenty zhang, and tied them to the saddle.

"Master Hou, you can start!" Meng Yun and a group of gentlemen also shouted for an hour with the busy command, and at this time they were all covered with sweat on their foreheads, but they were more excited.

If the experiment of this bamboo kite, which can lead people to fly, is really successful......

Damn, I can't imagine that kind of exciting scene, even if you can't fly high, it's enough to just fly to the head of Xianyang City, even if you can't fly far, as long as you can fly across the Wei River, it's a great feat.

Estimate...... The emperor will be alarmed!

Several people gathered around Chen Xu, looking at the glider excitedly and nervously, trembling all over.

As Chen Xu said at the beginning, as a representative of the world of gentlemen, you must play this kind of high-level activity to be exciting enough.

However, the reality they didn't know was that the emperor had been alarmed.

At this time, the carriage of the Son of Heaven had already left the palace under the protection of a group of Xuanwu guards and forbidden troops, and was sounding gongs along the street and going straight to the east gate of the city.

"Let's get started, slow down a little bit and test the balance of the wings and the overall ......"

Before Chen Xu finished speaking, he saw a commotion in the direction of the city gate and quickly dispersed, and more than a dozen horses galloped through the crowd, and on the back of the horses sat all black-clothed masked warriors with big swords on their backs.

"Report, Marquis Qinghe, Your Majesty is coming to watch the test of a bamboo kite that can fly manned!" A Xuanwu guard with a dragon tattoo embroidered on his chest jumped off his horse and shouted loudly.

"The Emperor...... Is the Emperor really coming? A group of dumbfounders came back to their senses and looked at Chen Xu together.

Chen Xu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then wait a while, I hope the experiment will not fail, otherwise you will be beaten again when you go back!" ”

"I'm afraid of being beaten, I'm going to be beaten, but if I can really fly, hehe......" A squirm drooled and was about to lose his breath with excitement.

"Yes, this idea is very good, flying has always been the dream of human beings, if the glider is really successful, it will create a precedent for human flight, and your names will be as famous as the master craftsman's class, and will be remembered for thousands of years......," Chen Xu gently patted the shoulder and said with emotion.

Today's Great Qin is different from the later Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

People in this era are full of interest and courage in exploring the unknown, before Confucianism has become the mainstream, the disciples of the hundred schools are not all in the field of research and thought, among which there are many practical schools, which have begun to have the germination of science and theoretical research, many of which do not believe in ghosts and gods and the five elements of yin and yang, they are more willing to use a rational eye to see and analyze the existence and development of things, the most famous of which is Mojia, and even includes Legalism and various craftsmen and animal husbandry schools.

Mohist is the world's first school to put forward the principle of linear propagation of light, especially the founder of Wu Mo Zhai, not only has extremely rich philosophical thoughts, but also logical logical reasoning, not only with full reason to refute the famous white horse non-horse theory, but also in optics, mechanics, mechanics, geometry and other aspects have fruitful research and even summarized and put forward various laws, the geometry in the ink book is earlier than the original Euclidean geometry in the West, especially for the study of optics and mechanics, More detailed and in-depth than the Western theories of the same era, the small hole imaging, concave and convex mirrors for the dispersion and aggregation of light, the principle of levers, the explanation and application of pulleys and inclined planes for forces, etc.

The most famous is to use the limit theory to refute Zhuangzi's argument that 'one foot of air, half of it is taken in a day, and it is inexhaustible for eternity'.

Of course, from the perspective of later science, we can't say that Zhuangzi's theory is wrong, because Zhuangzi put forward a void concept of space, if subdivided into the state of particles, this theory is really hard to say right or wrong, but Mozi is using the limit mathematical problem to look at this problem, a line segment half and half of the interception, the two endpoints will be infinitely close, the final result will inevitably be fused together, this is the principle of limit approximation, and this principle, the West has not been able to put forward until the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, many people want to say that the old guest is advocating China's ancient civilization again, but this is indeed a fact, the prosperity of the hundred schools of thought and academic freedom during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period finally gave birth to the Mohists, a logical and rigorous scientific school.

But in the end, the contention of a hundred schools of thought became a serious challenge to the pattern of China's great unification, and the freedom of thought and scholarship became a fetter to the stability and unity of the country.

In fact, from the Qin Dynasty onwards, the germ of science began to be stifled, and although the Qin Dynasty also encouraged the innovation and development of craftsmen, strict laws and regulations also became a fetters to the development of science.

But at the moment, science can still save Daqin.

Including Meng Yun and this group of gentlemen, they are not bound by the ideas of Confucianism, they also inherit the concept of freedom of thought, and they also have a very enthusiastic spirit of adventure and innovation.

And when theology began to decline and philosophy began to be confused, science became the only driving force for mankind to continue to develop and move forward.

Just like the current Academy of Sciences, the craftsmen and craftsmen in it do not have a fixed research direction, but they have begun to accept various scientific theories instilled by Chen Xu, and they are also very interested, mathematics, geometry, physics, and machinery have become topics of research and discussion.

Prevent Li Si from burning books and the emperor from killing Fang Dao warlocks, and retain the various sage theories of the academic ideas of hundreds of schools, so that the successors can continue to carry forward these schools, extract the essence from the rough, remove the false and retain the true, and slowly integrate to form a new academic trend, including carrying forward the spirit of science to explore nature and explore the future of mankind, which is the most correct path for Chen Xu.

A single Confucian and Legalist rule is a dead end, which will slowly develop into a heavy shackle.

In fact, this shackle has appeared, and the disadvantages of ruling the country by magic have already been vividly reflected, and it has reached the point where it must be changed, if Chen Xu does not promote this reform, Daqin will be finished.

Qin Shi Huang cannot live forever, Great Qin cannot exist forever, and human civilization cannot exist forever, and it may end at some point, it may also be a new beginning, but a way to continue must be found at this node.

Although science is imperfect, and many phenomena beyond natural forces cannot be explained, it is already the best way that Chen Xu can know.

This is related to his vision, using technology to promote the development of Daqin is the only way for Chen Xu, as for right or wrong, it is not something he can crack.

That's all he can do, after a hundred years, the world has nothing to do with him, he just wants to fulfill a very simple wish of his own, to satisfy the dream that Huaxia has regretted for two thousand years.

On the river beach outside the east gate, tens of thousands of people slowly knew that the emperor was coming to watch the flight test, so the noise slowly subsided, and they all slowly dispersed for hundreds of zhang, leaving a wide passage straight to the direction of the city gate.

Twenty minutes later, as the neat and dense footsteps and the sound of horses' hooves got closer and closer, and at the same time, there were continuous horns and gongs, and finally a long group of forbidden troops holding dragon flags and Changge, full of armor, rushed out and scattered outside the east gate, escorted by hundreds of black-armored and masked Xuanwu guards, the six-horse-drawn Tianzi chariot slowly drove out, and finally came to a stop ten zhang away from the glider.

The door opened, and the First Emperor, dressed in a dark robe embroidered with dragon patterns, got out of the carriage with the support of his chamberlain.

"Meet His Majesty the Emperor!"

Tens of thousands of onlookers on the river beach knelt down and bowed to the ground outside the protective wall of the soldiers, and among them, there were countless officials and scholars with status and status who watched the excitement and bowed.

"Excuse me!" Qin Shi Huang's eyes swept around gently, and then strode towards Chen Xu's group under the protection of several personal Xuanwu guards, and his eyes had already fallen on the huge glider.
