In the mainstream era of the Great Song Dynasty, when the scriptures were read and the poems were written, science was regarded as the last science, and it was even ridiculed as a strange skill ~ skillful sideway. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Shen Kuo is a culture, science and technology expert, and has been engaged in a very broad field of research throughout his life, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as unique.

In this life, it is great to be able to focus on doing something beneficial. But Shen Kuo has done everything he wants to do in the field of science, and he can say what he can do, not only broad and specialized, but also broad and refined. From this point of view, I'm afraid there will be no one to come.

Later generations of people who are often called "doctors" in various fields are actually only experts in a certain aspect at most, and people like Shen Kuo should be the real "doctors", whose erudition can make countless people ashamed.

In the later "History of the Song Dynasty: The Biography of Shen Kuo", Shen Kuo was commented on as follows: "Erudite and good at writing, he is knowledgeable in astronomy, square chronicles, legal calendars, music, medicine, and divination, and has written all of them."

This is also a recognition of Shen Kuo's erudition and versatility.

All in all, Shen Kuo is arguably the most knowledgeable and brilliant scientist in Chinese history, with knowledge ranging from astronomy and mathematics to physics, as well as chemistry and geology as well as meteorology and geography, as well as agronomy, hydraulics and medicine.

Zhong Hao looked at the Shen Kuo in front of him, and he almost doubted that he was a traverser, or an extremely knowledgeable traverser who was super powerful in later generations and understood all kinds of knowledge. Well, it really should be an extremely knowledgeable traverser. Because even if he is a doctoral traveler, he definitely does not have such erudite talent as him.

If you weren't a time-traveler, how could you have achieved such a brilliant achievement in so many scientific fields?

As far as Shen Kuo's achievements are concerned, Zhong Hao, a traverser, is difficult to reach eleven.

It can be said that, in terms of his scientific achievements, no figure in the entire ancient history of China for thousands of years can be compared with him.

However, Shen Kuo is not a traverser, Zhong Hao can now be sure that Zhong Hao has tested Shen Kuo by knocking on the side just now.

This also shows Shen Kuo's degree of bull breaking even more!

Facing the previous bull in the history of science, Zhong Hao is still full of respect in his heart

However, although Zhong Hao is not as knowledgeable and talented as Shen Kuo, and he is proficient in all subjects, he is also a traverser. Although I don't have much ability in profound scientific research and invention, I can still invent something related to life.

Zhong Hao also invented stir-fry and distilled liquor, invented glass reflective mirrors and telescopes, and made horseshoes. Of course, when he was in Jingqiang Village, he also improved the fire~ medicine technology and steelmaking technology, which is not bad.

Now Shen Kuo is still young, and he does not have such high achievements as in the future, and a lot of research is emotionally involved, Zhong Hao still has something to talk to him, so he will not be completely crushed by him.

The two discussed their scientific research experience with each other, and they benefited each other a lot, and many times Shen Kuo would not express his admiration for Zhong Hao from time to time.

At this time, Zhong Hao also had the idea of asking Shen Kuo, a master in the scientific community, to help improve some of the things he invented.

He told him about his method of improving gun~ medicine and blast furnace steelmaking, and asked Shen Kuo to help guide him.

In history, Shen Kuo also made some improvements to fire~medicine, also made some firearms, and invented wet copper smelting, which is also metal smelting and steelmaking, which can also be regarded as a bypass, he heard Zhong Hao have studied fire~ medicine and steelmaking, and he also discussed it with him very seriously.

Shen Kuo's attitude towards scientific research is still very rigorous, where he understands, he understands, and he will not pretend to understand if he doesn't understand something. In the places he is proficient in, he will give Zhong Hao some pointers, and in the places he doesn't understand, he will also humbly want Zhong Hao to ask for advice, and his attitude is very serious, so the two of them communicate very comfortably, and both of them feel that the other party is a very interesting person.

Zhong Hao couldn't help but sigh: It seems that it is not for nothing that Shen Kuo can have so many scientific achievements, just look at the rigorous attitude of others towards science, you can see his seriousness towards scientific research. Later generations recorded that Shen Kuo attached great importance to investigation, observation, measurement, and experiment, and wanted to "reason for it" and "deduce it from reason". He advocated "using simplicity when seeing it, changing it when seeing complexity, and not gluing one method", which is one of the reasons why he has achieved many original achievements in science

After chatting about this fire~ medicine and steelmaking, Shen Kuo remembered what Zhong Hao said about clairvoyance. He was full of interest in these novelties.

Shen Kuo asked expectantly: "Wen Xuan said that the clairvoyant mirror that can see far away, can you let my brother take a look?" Listening to Wen Xuan's words for my brother, I really feel a little itchy! ”

Zhong Hao smiled: "Brother Cun is too polite, this is naturally no problem!" ”

When Zhong Hao went south with the Western Army to quell the rebellion, he naturally took this clairvoyant mirror with him, and after the squad returned to the army, he naturally brought it to Tokyo. However, the clairvoyant mirror that Zhong Hao has on hand now only has glass lenses! Among the clairmiles he made with the old craftsmen of the Jingqiang Village, the first batch only made two crystal lenses. Because the crystal lenses were developed later, and the cost was relatively high, only two were manufactured at first. The clairballs of these two crystal lenses were later given by Zhong Hao to Yang Wenguang and Di Qing, who were more useful.

At that moment, Zhong Hao asked Xiao Tao to find out his glass lens clairvoyant.

Shen Kuo took the clairvoyant mirror and looked out, and found that the scenery in the distance seemed to be in front of him, and couldn't help but praise: "Wenxuan is really talented, this thing is definitely a good thing." It's a weapon! Shen Kuo saw at a glance the great usefulness of this clairvoyant mirror in battle.

Zhong Hao couldn't help but feel a little complacent when he received Shen Kuo's praise, this is the most awesome scientist in ancient Chinese history, and getting his praise still makes people feel a little satisfied.

Zhong Hao saw Shen Kuo playing with the clairvoyant mirror there, and couldn't help but think about whether Shen Kuo should tell him if he asked himself in detail about the principle of the clairvoyant mirror?

I was going to monopolize this technology. In the future, make a few more and give one to those high-ranking officials or generals, which can also be regarded as a very precious gift. It's a rare thing, if not a thing. This can be used for looking far away, but it can also be useful in other places.

But if Shen Kuo asked, if he didn't tell him, he was afraid that he would be unhappy. Zhong Hao still thought in his heart that he hoped that Shen Kuo would help him make other things in the future, if he made improved gunpowder weapons and the like, this Shen Kuo could help a lot, so Zhong Hao still wanted to have a good relationship with him.

At that moment, Zhong Hao decided that if Shen Kuo had to ask, he would tell him and let him keep it secret. Moreover, Zhong Hao actually saw through the conversation during this period of time that Shen Kuo studied a thing, basically out of interest, and he didn't care too much about the fact that it could be used to make money.

Shen Kuo has so many research results, and probably never thought that he would be as strange as himself. People probably have been interested in these studies and inventions. The literati of this era are mainly interested in their careers, and these can only be regarded as strange skills ~ clever things in their eyes, and they don't attach too much importance to them. Even a scientific genius like Shen Kuo actually thinks so.

Besides, Shen Kuo is probably good at things, and he is negligent in human affairs, and if he wants him to use the things he has researched to make a fortune in business, he may not be able to do it. And although Shen Kuo's family is not the son of a high-ranking cadre, his father is also a Jinshi, and his rank is not low. The salaries of civil officials in the Great Song Dynasty were not low, and probably Shen Kuo was not short of money since he was a child, and he didn't have much concept of making money. If he didn't have the support of a solid family background since he was a child, Shen Kuo would not be able to engage in his research all day long.

When Zhong Hao was entangled in telling Shen Kuo about the principle of the clairvoyant mirror, he obviously forgot one thing, that is, Shen Kuo was a genius of science and technology!

Zhong Hao obviously underestimated Shen Kuo's ability!

Shen Kuo didn't ask at all when he took this clairvoyant mirror, he played with it for a while, pondered for a while, and then understood the principle of this clairvoyant mirror.

"Wen Xuan is really smart, this makes you think of it! Brother Wei has also done a lot of research on this convex mirror and concave mirror, but why didn't I think that the combination of this convex mirror and concave mirror can be made to see thousands of miles of territory by using small hole imaging?! ”

Zhong Hao sweated profusely, and he was still thinking about whether to tell others, but he didn't expect that they would understand the principle after just a few glances. A genius is indeed a genius!

Only then did Zhong Hao remember that Shen Kuo had a deep study in physics, and his "Mengxi Writings" had many records on the imaging of small holes, the imaging of concave mirrors, and the magnification and reduction of concave-convex mirrors.

Zhong Hao was completely convinced of Shen Kuo's research talent.

Zhong Hao sighed secretly: Fortunately, I saw Shen Kuo! In the future, he plans to invest a lot of money to make glasses to sell, I thought that no one else understood the principle of these glasses, but now it seems that Shen Kuo is afraid that he can see it at a glance, and if he casually says the principle of these glasses, I am afraid that if the business of this glasses is good, there will soon be many people who will compete with him for business. Now that he has met Shen Kuo, Zhong Hao will naturally find a way to keep Shen Kuo from talking, and he will still count on this glasses business to make money in the future!

Shen Kuo was holding a clairvoyant mirror with a glass lens, and he was a little fond of it, and he looked very fond of it.

Zhong Hao smiled and said: "If Brother Cun likes it, he will take it, it's not a very valuable thing, it's just a rare thing!" ”

Shen Kuo was a little embarrassed and said, "It's not okay! You see that my brother came to visit, and he didn't even bring a gift, and he came empty-handed, and he still wanted your things, which is really embarrassing! ”

Zhong Hao said with a smile: "Brother Cunzhong said this, it's really too foreign, we brothers still need to be polite!" ”

Shen Kuo listened to Zhong Hao's words and said with a smile: "Then you are not welcome to be a brother." Hehe, I'll give you a leaky pot for my brother to use for my brother another day! ”

"Leaky pot?! What is it? Zhong Hao was already sweating profusely in his heart, why did he sound so like a night pot! Is it also used to get up at night?

Shen Kuo saw Zhong Hao's bewildered look, and couldn't help but be speechless, so he had to explain weakly: "It's a thing that can be timed more accurately", saying Shen Kuo suddenly said with some pride: "The leaky pot renovated for my brother is much more accurate than the previous leaky pot, much more accurate than the hourglass, and it is very strong and durable." ”

As soon as Zhong Hao heard Shen Kuo's words, he remembered that the leaky pot was the main instrument that could accurately measure the time of determination in this era. It's just that he hasn't seen it before, so he can't remember it for a while.

According to records, Shen Kuo also reformed the leaky pot, changing the copper leaky pipe of the curved cylinder into a straight-necked jade mouth, and moving its position to the lower part of the pot body. This makes the water flow smoother and the spout is much more durable. This leaky pot has been improved by Shen Kuo, and it is also much more accurate. It seems that Shen Kuo's improvement of this leaky pot has been completed.

This leaky pot is made of copper, and it is relatively large and heavy, which is not something that ordinary people can use. In this era, copper was money, and copper and money were basically equated. Moreover, in this era, ordinary people cannot melt copper and make objects without permission, so this copper leakage pot is still very valuable, and ordinary people naturally can't use it. Only those big families have this copper leaky pot as a timekeeping tool.

In this era, there has never been an accurate concept of this concept of time. Every night he pointed to the head of the knock and the husband to tell the time. As for the daytime, it's basically to look at the sun. Basically, the time is roughly determined, and it is difficult to have a clear concept of time. This is very unaccustomed to Zhong Hao, who is used to looking at his mobile phone and clock to determine the time in later generations.

Today, I heard that Shen Kuo was going to give him a leaky pot that could be timed more accurately, and I was very happy. In this era, we can finally calculate time accurately, and we can have a more accurate concept of time.

"That little brother has thanked the middle brother!" Zhong Hao said politely at the moment.

"Hehe, Wenxuan is polite! In the future, we have something new, communicate more! ”

"Haha, it's easy to say, it's easy to say!" I will definitely not suffer if I can communicate with the best scientist in history and often exchange novel gadgets.

Shen Kuo was interested again, played with the clairvoyant mirror, looked outside the fine house for a while, and suddenly said: "Wenxuan's clairvoyance is still a little problematic, it's not very good to use colored glass, if it is replaced with a convex mirror and a concave mirror polished with crystal pieces, it will be much better!" ”

Zhong Hao was speechless! It's also someone else's gift, you're so picky, this is the first time you think about this thing. You won't be tactful about this?!

However, although Zhong Hao slandered, he actually knew that this Shen Kuo was such a character, not deliberately finding faults, but striving for perfection in this matter. Well, it's said that this is a good suggestion to use crystal lenses.

This is also the reason why Zhong Hao wants to have a good relationship with Shen Kuo, what he wants to do in the future, he has encountered a bottleneck, maybe he can make a big breakthrough with a single click! This Shen Kuo is still very insightful in scientific research, and can often put forward point-to-point suggestions.

Zhong Hao felt that Shen Kuo's IQ was nothing to say, but this EQ was very debatable!
