Chapter Ninety-Six: The Exchange of Learning
"You mean that in Pingliang, there is a place for research. It's like the Jixia School Palace of Qi State, but there is no sour Confucianism and no reasoning, and it doesn't pay attention to Kongqiu's set. Is it true knowledge that is being studied? Donghuang Taiyi was attracted by Yun Yue's depiction of Pingliang, and he was very interested in seeing what such a place was like.
Yinyangjia is actually a school that likes to study practical science. They seem to have similarities with the Mohists, but they don't like the Mohists' frugal and simple lifestyle. They hated the way of Confucius and Mencius, and they were not at all interested in the kind of knowledge that advocated empty talk in the Jixia Academy. They like things that are tangible, that they can see and touch. Even if you study poisons, it's better than empty talk!
"Yes! Now there are more than 100 students there, and they are learning the most basic arithmetic knowledge. There is also a discipline called physics, which studies a wide range of things. Let's say we're getting caught in the rain right now. This rain is the vapor that transpires into the sky to form clouds, and then returns to the ground due to gravity.
There is also the existence of atmospheric pressure, Zou Yan once did an experiment. Combine the two halves of the copper ball, drain the air inside, and neither horse can pull the copper ball together. There are also ......" Yun Yue said very variously, and even the chief scoop of the Yin and Yang family could hear the clouds and mountains and fog. Some he can understand, some he can't. In the end, he only saw Yun Yue's mouth open and close, and he couldn't understand what he said.
"You stand on the top of the cliff at the top of the mountain, and throw down a twenty-pound iron ball, and a ten-pound iron ball. Both balls will land at the same time. If you tie the balls with a piece of linen, the balls will descend very slowly. It doesn't matter if you have a sackcloth big enough to even jump with someone tied up. ”
"Shut up!" Donghuang Taiyi was finally angry. The things Yun Yue talked about were too shocking. Two balls with a double difference in weight. How can it land at the same time. And also. If a man is tied to an open linen cloth, he will be able to fall to the ground and not die. It's a joke!
"Since you said that if you tie an open linen cloth to your body, you won't fall to death, then the old man will tie a piece of linen cloth to you and see if you will die!"
Yun Yue's face immediately turned the color of pig liver, and she deeply realized what it means to be cocooned and self-bound. In order not to become a guinea pig, Yun Yue hurriedly took out the handkerchief in her arms. At the same time, he picked up a stone and threw it in the sky. "Poof!" The stones fell into the river, causing ripples.
"Your Excellency the Eastern Emperor, please keep your eyes on it. Yun will give you a demonstration. After Yun Yue finished speaking, she cut the fishing line into four sections of general length with a knife, each tied one corner of the handkerchief, and the other end was tied to the stone. Throwing it upwards casually, the stone actually fell slowly into the river.
"How? Your Excellency the Eastern Emperor? Yun Yue smiled and looked at Donghuang Taiyi, when he was a child, he often played parachute games like this, and now he is naturally familiar with making one.
Donghuang Tai's eyes were uncertain, and he tore off the corner of his robe with a "hiss". Following Yun Yue's example, cut the fishing line and tied a stone to the corner of the robe. Thrown into the sky, the stone slowly descended. Maybe there's a bigger cloth hanging on it, or maybe it's really as Yun Yue said. People will be fine if they stand on a high place and jump down.
"What's the point?" Donghuang Taiyi asked Yun Yue in astonishment, he boasted that his knowledge was already a master in this world. Unexpectedly. Today, Yun Yue's small example stumped him.
"Don't you Yin and Yang family believe that there are yin and yang in heaven and earth? Clear air rises, turbid gas falls. You're right, there's a kind of gas around us. Because this kind of gas is colorless and tasteless, it cannot be seen or touched. So, I call it bit air.
Although the air cannot be seen or touched, it can be proved by experiments. It's like ......" Yun Yue the clay bowl containing the bait and buckled it upside down on the water. Press the bowl into the water and jerk it over. A large bubble gushed up from the water!
Yun Yue shook off the cold river and said, "Your Excellency the Eastern Emperor has seen it, this bubble is air." It is colorless and tasteless in the bowl, but it has nothing to hide in the water. Donghuang Taiyi's eyes widened, and he had seen a lot of bubbles. But for the first time, he associated bubbles with gas.
took the pottery bowl in Yun Yue's hand and pounded it twice in the water. Sure enough, as Yun Yue said, bubbles will bubble out when the pottery bowl is pressed into the water. Could it really be that as Yun Yue said, there is such a thing called air around him?
"The air is in constant motion, because the cold air goes down, the hot air goes up, so the wind is formed. Your Excellency the Eastern Emperor, please see! Yun Yue pointed to the bonfire lit not far away, the smoke on the bonfire continued to evaporate upward, and even a lot of soot drifted into the air with the smoke. Then at a great distance, it falls down.
"The hot air will bring up an upward momentum, so the soot will rise into the air with the heat. When the heat is gone, there is no longer an incentive to hold them, and the soot will naturally fall to the ground. Here! On your shoulder, too, there is a piece! Yun Yue pointed to the clothes of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi touched it, and sure enough, he touched a hand of carbon ash.
"What you said are all things that you have researched in your Pingliang Academy?" Donghuang Taiyi asked with a glare, there were already too many things beyond his common sense today.
"Some are, some don't. However, the academy is working on something that will fly if you light a fire underneath. Now that we have the initial results, if we find good materials, we may be able to fly with people. ”
The hot air balloon Yun Yue has long wanted to drum it out, and Kong Ming Lantern is no problem. But the process requirements of hot air balloons are very high, and the faint nylon fiber is going to die. Not to mention the fuel nozzle, if you don't do it well, it will really explode. Yun Yue didn't want to fall to the ground like a stone.
"You mean the Flying Sky?" Donghuang Tai grabbed Yun Yue's shoulders one by one, and by the way, he shot the arrows from the iron tower and flew away.
"Yes! As long as the right material is found, the process research is also correct. It's not a big deal to fly, it's just that it's cold in the sky. If we want to go up, I'm afraid we'll have to wear fur. ”
"You mean the old man can also fly with you?" Donghuang Taiyi's eyes widened, and his eyes almost popped out of his sockets. Flying has always been the dream of these qi practitioners, and they have even summed up some theories. They believe that the reason why people can't fly is because there is too much turbidity in their bodies. As long as you cultivate the functions of the internal organs in your body to the extreme, you can cultivate the pure yang qi of your body. You can fly straight to the sky, lift the heaven and the earth, grasp the yin and yang, breathe the essence, guard the gods independently, and the muscles are one, so you can live the world and the world, and there is no end time, and become a fairy figure.
"Of course, if His Excellency the Eastern Emperor is willing. Naturally, you can fly with Yun Yue, what's so difficult about this! You and I can also participate in the auspicious together, and strive to get this flying thing out as soon as possible. Yun Yue wished that this old guy would volunteer to be a guinea pig. Anyway, this product is strong in martial arts, and judging from the way he appears, it seems that he is also a figure with excellent skills. Fly a hundred and eighty meters and fall, it is estimated that ...... Maybe...... You can't die!
"Can we still go to Xiangxiang together?" Donghuang Taiyi simply didn't believe his ears, and his knowledge has always been only passed on to his disciples. Yun Yue wants to share his knowledge with himself, which is a great thing.
"No problem, as long as His Excellency the Eastern Emperor is willing. You can take the gentlemen of the Yin and Yang family to Pingliang, and we can study it together when the time comes. I have a master craftsman named Master Geng, his craftsmanship is extremely exquisite, as long as His Excellency the Eastern Emperor thinks of something, he can make it for you. ”
"But Master Geng, who is the director of the Mo family and the public loser?" Donghuang Taiyi said urgently.
Yun Yue was stunned, she didn't expect that Master Geng's old guy was actually quite famous. Even this Yin and Yang family leader has heard of it.
"Master Geng, now I am Pingliang Shaoshang. He was in charge of all the manufacturing matters of Pingliang, and many of Pingliang's ordnance were manufactured under his auspices. If you don't believe me, you can ask Shao Si Ming. She is a member of your Yin and Yang family, and she will never lie to you. ”
Yun Yue decided to fool this yin and yang family to carry the handle, although Zou Yan presided over Pingliang Academy. But the teachers are too weak. Teaching students in batches, when will they be able to produce talents?
If you can convince the Yin and Yang family to go to Pingliang, it will be a great thing. Among these guys are astronomical researchers, and there are those who study the application of drugs (albeit poison!). )。 There are also those who study chemistry (Xu Fu studies that thing, it should be organic chemistry.) There are all kinds of talents!
After these people pass, they will drive the development of science and technology in Pingliang. Although he comes from the afterlife, he knows a lot of the technology of the later life. But most of those technologies are too advanced to be created with the productivity of this era. There are some things that I know a principle though. But she didn't really know it, so Yun Yue really wanted to get this thing out.
Gunpowder is too powerful, and it is far less powerful than explosives for military use. If you have explosives in the Warring States Period, then the army under your command will be an invincible existence. What the Six Kingdoms of the East, what the Huns. Even a million Qin troops are not a problem. If you throw a bomb out, even an iron man will smash it for you.
Yun Yue was deeply obscene, and when she looked back, she saw that Donghuang Taiyi had disappeared. His disappearance was as abrupt as when he came, and the whole person seemed to melt into the air. Only the fishing rods left on the pier prove that someone has been here.
"Master Hou! Are you alright? The tower roared over, the old guy was too terrifying. can actually block his own arrows at close range, is this a human or a ghost!
"It's okay! It is estimated that soon there will be a large number of offerings in our house, hehe! Yun Yue stroked her beard and laughed wickedly. (To be continued.) )
