Chapter 4 The Principle of the Workings of the Universe
Zhao Ziming's words were even deceived, and even moved Atlantis out, which seemed unreasonable, but it was also a reference to the real world in later generations, although John Tang was still suspicious, but his own momentum was inevitably three points shorter. Xu Guangqi pondered for a long time, obviously unable to bear such a large amount of information. Compared with Xu Guangqi, Sun Yuanhua City Mansion is a little worse, listening to what Zhao Ziming said wonderfully and couldn't help asking: "Listening to Gongzi say this, then Australia is really a paradise, dare to ask Gongzi, Australia is so prosperous, why did Gongzi abandon his family and business to come to my Daming?" Also, since Australia is forbidden by the sea, how did the son come to the sea? ”
Zhao Ziming secretly complained in his heart, and thought about it, sooner or later, he would have to pass this pass, otherwise, he would not be able to gain a foothold in this Ming Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ziming said with a shake of spirit: "After the great-ancestor arrived in Australia, although he married a wife and had children and started a family in the local area, he never forgot that he was a Chinese citizen. When my great-grandfather was dying, he made a testament, all my descendants of the Zhao family, but there is a slight opportunity, I must return to my mother country and serve my homeland with Australian skills. It is also hard work to pay off, my father rescued a Spaniard named Messi on the beach one day, my father did not report to the court, but told Messi the details of the city with Father Trump, Messi has a wife and daughter at home, and he does not want to drift away from a foreign land, and repeatedly cried to Father Trump and his father, hoping to help him leave Australia and return to his hometown. This Messi is also a determined person, asking his father to find a small fishing boat and swearing to return to the north. Seeing that he was quite bold, his father ordered him to accompany him and wait for an opportunity to return to Middle-earth. After that, the voyage was extremely difficult, not to mention the hardships. Sailing like this for more than 20 days, only to meet the Spanish ship, and then, with the Spanish sea ship arrived in Luzon, so far, only to meet my Ming ship, but also in the fate should not be extinct, although after nine deaths, but after all, still able to return to the Celestial Empire, so can also comfort the great ancestor in the spirit of the sky. After that, Zhao Ziming cried bitterly.
Sun Yuanhua heard Zhao Ziming's words, and he didn't doubt it in his heart, and couldn't help but admire it, so he stepped forward and saluted Zhao Ziming and said: "The son's family is an overseas child, and they all have the idea of serving the country. After that, he turned over and bowed to Zhao Ziming.
Seeing this, Zhao Ziming hurriedly knelt down and saluted back: "Brother Chuyang is a senior disciple of Lord Xu, and he is good at firearms, and the younger brother has admired him for a long time. ”
With that, the two helped each other up. Zhao Ziming knew Sun Yuanhua's interest, and he did what he liked, which made Sun Yuanhua feel like a confidant to Zhao Ziming.
Tang Ruowang heard Zhao Ziming's previous words, and saw the speculation between Sun Yuanhua and Zhao Ziming, and couldn't help but be secretly anxious in his heart, although God has no borders, but Tang Ruowang's home country is not Daming after all. Zhao Ziming's eyes wandered, revealing a treacherous appearance everywhere, but this rhetoric about Australia, Tang Ruowang could not give a conclusive conclusion for a while, in case Zhao Ziming's words were true, but only with Xu Guangqi's connections in the DPRK, it was not difficult for Zhao Ziming to be enabled, so that the gap between the Ming Dynasty and the Taixi countries would only widen (at this time, the Ming Dynasty's GDP accounted for 60% of the world).
Thinking of this, Tang Ruowang's eyes rolled and he hurriedly asked: "According to what Childe said, Australia is prosperous in science and superb in technology, and Childe is familiar with Australian theory, but I don't know what Australian academics have on the reason for the operation of the universe?" Tang Ruowang wanted to test Zhao Ziming even further, and threw out a big killing weapon.
Xu Guangqi was also bright-eyed when he heard this question, and secretly admired Tang Ruowang's wisdom.
When Zhao Ziming heard this, he was overjoyed, haha, you Tang Ruowang is simply Lao Tzu's lucky star! If you want to ask other Lao Tzu, you may show your stuffing, but you have to hit the muzzle of the gun alive, Lao Tzu is also from the next generation, and you have to be suppressed if you say anything today.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ziming said solemnly: "The principle of the operation of the universe is called astrophysics in Australia, and I only know a little about it, but Father Tang has a question, and I dare not answer it, please forgive me for being arrogant." ”
"Childe doesn't have to be too humble, I'll sit down and talk about it today, don't talk about humility, Australia will be able to enjoy the country for thousands of years, I want to come here to learn my own wisdom, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." Xu Guangqi replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhao Ziming bowed deeply to everyone again, and said: "As far as I know, the Taixi countries generally agree on the "geocentric theory" proposed by the Ptolemaic sage, but this doctrine is completely different from what I have learned. ”
Ptolemy's geocentric theory proposed that the earth is the center of the universe, and that the sun, moon and stars in the sky are attached to a transparent sphere that revolves around the earth. But that's not enough! Because it was impossible to explain why the five observable planets of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn moved back and forth in the air at that time, Ptolemy pioneered a device for the current wheel, so that when the sphere rotates, the current wheel is driven, and the planets are indirectly attached to the sphere through the current wheel, and the problem of the back and forth movement of the planets is easily solved, and it can be said that the motion law of the observable celestial bodies at that time is quite accurately predicted. Ptolemy's "geocentric theory" perfectly explained the way the universe worked, and with the support of the Church, this theory ruled the West for a thousand years.
Speaking of this, Zhao Ziming paused for a moment, peeked at Tang Ruowang, and saw that Tang Ruowang's expression was indifferent, and he didn't show any anger at all by his arrogant arguments, and he couldn't help but feel quite disappointed in his heart.
Zhao Ziming himself is a dick, and he is blind to the science and technology of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, the Western world has made certain breakthroughs in astronomy in this era, not to mention that Copernicus had already put forward the "heliocentric theory" a hundred years ago. In the early years, Kepler summarized the elliptical orbit of the traveling star around the sun on the basis of the observation of the trough, and on this basis, put forward Kepler's three laws. If Zhao Ziming didn't say that, it would have surprised John Tang.
Kepler's three laws are: 1. The planets orbit in an elliptical orbit, and the sun is located at a focal point of the ellipse; 2. The area swept by the planets in a unit of time is equal; 3. The square of the time it takes for a planet to orbit the Sun is proportional to the cube of its average distance from the Sun, and the farther a planet is from the Sun, the slower it moves.
Seeing that John Tang was not angry, Zhao Ziming continued: "Actually, the earth, like Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, are all planets orbiting the sun, and the moon orbits around the earth, which can be called satellites. ”
Zhao Ziming knew that Uranus and Neptune had not yet been discovered in this era, and he was afraid that it would be too shocking, so he only picked what could be seen.
Hearing what Zhao Ziming said, Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua were shocked. Although the two of them often communicate with the priests and monks in Nantang, and have many discussions in astronomy, gewu and other disciplines, these priests and monks do not dare to preach everywhere even if they know the "heliocentric theory". In surprise, the two looked at John Tang in unison.
