The Linzi sun at the beginning of June was very spicy, only a few white clouds floated weakly in the air, and when you opened your eyes, there was no sign of rain within a radius of 100 miles. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the debate altar, Chang Anjun's entourage was busy carrying the test equipment that had been prepared, sweating profusely, and under the altar, looking at the good weather, Lao Ruteng even showed a heartfelt smile.

Today, God will not help Chang Anjun, it just so happened that it rained, and the vertical boasted that he was in Haikou, I really don't know how to end it, today he has to open his eyes to see his ugly appearance, in order to repay the humiliation of the camp hills!

"Mr. Gongsun, what is Chang'anjun going to do?"

Tian Jia, who didn't know anything about this matter, didn't care about revealing her identity, and whispered to Gongsun Long for advice.

Gongsun Long seems to have known what happened, look around, since the construction of Jixia, there have never been so many people who have stretched their necks to look at the sky, or look forward to or fear the rain that may fall from the sky at any time, which shows how much expectation Chang'anjun's words made them have......

He smiled: "Chang'anjun is a dangerous way to make more people convinced, as for how to do it, the gentleman will know later." “

At this moment, everything was ready, and Chang Anjun pinched the iron horn on the stage and announced loudly: "Inform the second and third sons in advance that the rain I want to fall is not in the sky, but only within an inch of the debate altar......"

Mingyue's words made the corporals who had been looking up at the clear sky since Fang Cai and wanted to know when the rain would fall to look at the debate again.

They found that Chang'anjun's utensils were incredibly rudimentary: a makeshift earthen stove had been erected, and a narrow-mouthed copper tripod filled with water had been placed on it. As the firewood became more and more vigorous, the copper tripod was steaming, and the tripod was tightly surrounded by wooden planks on three sides, so that the steam rushed to the top, and there was a copper plate on it, and the ice cubes were placed in the plate, so the temperature at the bottom of the plate was extremely low......

When the white steam touched the copper plate, the reaction occurred, and the bottom of the copper plate, which was originally only a layer of water mist, actually condensed a drop of water droplets, and as the steam behind continued to pounce, those water droplets dripped down one after another, making the dry open space below wet, and it seemed like a light rain......

"Is it really raining?"

Someone tried to catch the dripping water on it, and their hands got wet, and they were surprised. But more people felt that they had been deceived, and shouted loudly: "Chang'an Jun deceived us, where is this rain, it's just a thing that can be seen everywhere every day!" ”

Mingyue said naturally: "That's right, the rain is really so simple, there is nothing magical at all." A few days ago, I read the Mohist "Book of Ink", which said that force, the meaning of the heavy, the down, with, the heavy struggle. It means that all things are affected by gravity, and the falling and lifting of objects are all based on the action of weight, so the liquid is heavy and the air is light, the heavy one falls, and the light one floats. Under the scorching sun, the water in the rivers, lakes and seas evaporated, and the water vapor turned into floated into the sky, forming the clouds we saw, and the water vapor in the clouds gathered more and more, and when it was cold, it re-condensed into water droplets, and then fell again. Today's presentation is based on this conjecture. ”

At this moment, the concept of gravity was proposed without waiting for the apple to hit the top of Newton's head...... However, Chang'anjun's practice of moving out the "Book of Ink" as a basis immediately won the favor of the Mo family, but Chen Qiu, the leader of the Moji, still shook his head and said: "Although Chang'anjun's statement has some truth, but from the point of view of the name, the rain is the one who rains, and the water is also from the clouds." So this is not rain, Chang'an Junxiu wants to juxtapose the two! ”

Mingyue spread her hands and said: "The second and third sons are embarrassing me, I am just a mortal, you want me to really rain from the clouds in the sky, isn't this a difficult thing for me to take Mount Tai and surpass Beihai, a strong man?" I ask you, what am I compared to the greatness of heaven and earth? ”

Without waiting for those people to answer, Mingyue pointed to the tip of her nose and said, "Compared with the vast world of heaven and earth, Zhao Guang is a drop in the ocean regardless of his ability or what he does!" ”

"In this case, all I can do is one billionth of what heaven and earth have naturally created. Today's demonstration is already the limit of what manpower can do, although it is not as wide as the real rain, but it can also get a glimpse of the truth, and the clear is self-evident! ”

A few skeptical people were convinced, this young man had reached the limit of what he could do, and gave an explanation that seemed to be serious, anyway, the Mo family saw that his own theory was also applied, and his heart was already much more comfortable.

But Qilu Confucianism was still unconvinced under the leadership of Teng Geng, and said one after another: "How can Chang'an Jun speculate about the mysteries of heaven and earth because of this small technique? ”

Mingyue has his own saying: "What's the wonder? The wise man sees the subtlety to know the sprout, and sees the end to know the end, so the basket is terrifying when he sees the elephant, and he knows the autumn when he sees a leaf. ”

Teng Geng grabbed the loophole in his language and jumped up: "Chang'anjun, do you think you are a sage like Jizi?" ”

Gongsun Long helped Chang Anjun and laughed: "There is no problem with Chang Anjun's words, everyone can be Yao Shun, isn't this what Mencius said?" As long as you study hard, even Yao Shun can succeed, let alone the sage of Jizi? Mr. Teng, you are a dictionary that has forgotten your ancestors! ”

Teng Geng said that Gongsun Long, his face turned red, and he retreated, while Mingyue looked at everyone and continued:

"When the Suiren clan drilled the fire, did it immediately reach the level of thunder and earth? What he got was just a small flame, but after thousands of years, this small flame has been passed down for thousands of years, and now we are the spirits of all things, and we can kindle a fire in the sky at will. Therefore, although today I can only fall a precipitation that is not considered rain in every square inch, as long as our generation concentrates on studying the mysteries of nature, maybe one day, we will be able to gather the strength of everyone and rain a real rain! ”

……

Mingyue's experiment was done in full view of everyone, although it was a pity that it didn't really rain, but this kind of easy-to-understand simulation and narration has convinced many people, and even the Mo family is a little loose. Only Teng Geng and his disciples resisted to the end, and they did not admit that Chang'anjun simulated the rainfall process.

As for the Yin and Yang family's side, Zou Yan, who was not present in person that day, sighed after listening to his disciple's account of the situation that day, knowing that the general trend had gone, he waved his hand in annoyance and went back to the room to rest, leaving everything to his nephew to deal with.

Seeing that Chang Anjun's "three-state change theory" and "rainfall nature theory" have been recognized by most people in the school palace, the Yin and Yang family knew that it was difficult to turn things around, and they were forced to respond accordingly.

At Zou Zheng's suggestion, the Yin-Yang scholars admitted that the rainfall process is generally the process of gaseous water turning into liquid water and falling again, but they also emphasized that where and when it falls is still a providential effect!

After all, Chang Anjun can simulate the general process, but he can't explain the complex situations in the sky and clouds one by one, and he still leaves room for the interpretation of the will of the ghosts and gods.

This kind of concession is also a common thing after the Xue Gong is cross-examined, only in this way, the five virtues of the Yin and Yang family will always be said that they will not be shaken from the root, and as long as Chang Anjun does not press step by step without interest, this debate will end in his victory.

At this point, the controversy came to an end, the Yin and Yang families were frustrated, and Confucianism was divided into Xun Ru, who supported Chang'anjun, and the conservative Qilu Zhiru led by Teng Geng, and there were also many discussions within the Mohists, who wanted to defend the theory of ghosts and gods on the one hand, but on the other hand, they were also reciting the explanations of various natural phenomena in the "Book of Ink", and this school itself was a combination of contradictions.

And Chang'anjun himself, after this incident, he has become famous in the school palace, and many people come to the door every day to confront him, but at the same time, there are also many corporal Ji when they meet him, respectfully salute him, and agree with his new knowledge.

However, what made Mingyue cry and laugh was that he worked hard to promote natural science and humanism in the school palace, and wanted to squeeze the knowledge of later generations into the nine streams and ten families, so as to have some influence on the times. In the world outside the school palace, most of the people who are still ruled by ignorance and superstition spread the word after learning about this incident, and they actually said that "the proton from Zhao Guolai can really rain".

The farmers and traders in Linzi said conclusively that the continuous rain in mid-June was the ghost of Chang'anjun!

They also gave Chang Anjun a name:

"Zhao Yushi!"
