Galileo just stood in the corner of the Xinuan Pavilion, he didn't understand the military affairs that Zhu Youxiao, the Ming Emperor and his ministers were talking about, but he enjoyed the current atmosphere. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Especially when he saw two ministers who looked quite gentlemanly (in fact, Qian Qianyi and Li Mingrui, the old enemies) confronting each other and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had no intention of blaming, he was very shocked in his heart, and secretly sighed that this is the democracy that an advanced country should have!

Anyway, Galileo, who still hated the European Middle Ages, now looks at Daming like he likes when he sees a lover.

However, in fact, the current Zhu You proofreader deliberately behaved very coldly towards this giant in science.

Because he let Galileo come to Daming, he didn't expect Galileo to let Daming have planes, tanks and artillery all at once, he asked Galileo to come to Daming, just wanted to inject a new thinking of Western scientific research into Daming, that is, to attach importance to basic research, rather than simply pursuing applied research.

In order to get the Ming Dynasty out of the predicament of internal and external troubles as soon as possible, Zhu Youxiao had to blindly make a great leap forward in the development of science and technology, that is, when the theoretical knowledge of a certain aspect was not fully mature, a realistic product about the scientific aspects here was made first.

This has resulted in the fact that although there are many scientific and technological workers in the Ming Dynasty, more of them are technical talents, that is, they can only manufacture but not create.

The Royal Academy of Engineering relied on a few genius technical officials, on the basis of immature theories, with the golden fingers provided by Zhu Youxiao and his own understanding that was different from ordinary people, so that Daming produced a lot of scientific and technological products.

However, the Royal Academy of Sciences, which created theoretical knowledge and basic experimental research, has made few achievements, and they are now limited to two aspects, on the one hand, they are tracing the ancient books of their predecessors to sort out and excavate the technical heritage that has not been fully developed in the Tang and Song dynasties, and on the other hand, they are digesting the theoretical materials given to them by Zhu Youxiao, and try to use the existing natural science foundation of the Ming Dynasty to explain and establish a theoretical framework.

However, whether it is given by the predecessors or Zhu Youxiao, it is arbitrary and purposeful, and it is difficult for these half-baked genius Ming theoretical scientists to establish a complete theoretical system, not to mention that they do not attach importance to experimental science now, which is related to the education they received since childhood, they are used to metaphysical things, and they are better at using their brains to reason, and they are not very accustomed to using experiments to prove, in the eyes of the vast majority of people, the ancients seem to be more reliable than phenomena.

Galileo, on the other hand, is a champion of Western science, and although this kind of basic research in the natural sciences is not liked by the church, it is actually the mainstream in his world, with a complete set of theoretical foundations and systems.

Therefore, letting Galileo come to Daming may be able to make up for the shortcomings of Daming's scientific and technological development, and at least allow Galileo to lay his foundation for modern science in Daming.

Most of the people who served in the Ming Dynasty before, such as John Tang and Matteo Ricci, were halfway monks and scientific and technological workers, who were originally missionaries and could be said to be lovers of theology, and they were only hobbyists of natural science, or they were still deficient in thinking, so the development of Western science did not reflect much value in them.

If it is said that Matteo Ricci and Tang Ruowang want to hide some technology from Da Ming, it is not very likely, after all, it is not much to let a few missionaries conceal it, not to mention that Zhu Youxiao is pressing them tightly, if they really dare to say only half of everything, Zhu Youxiao will not hesitate to let them go to prison.

Zhu Youxiao, together with several important cabinet ministers and the six important ministers who had been specifically designated to enter the Xinuan Pavilion, turned his attention to Galileo only after deciding on the military operations in the north this year and the pilot areas for the next reforms, and after deciding on how to provide relief for some sudden natural disasters.

Zhu Youxiao changed his serious and unsmiling expression at first, still showed a smile in front of Galileo, and leaned back in the chair casually, seeing that Galileo was estimated to be a little old and stood for too long and his legs trembled, he ordered Wang Chengen to carry a pestle for this Galileo.

After Galileo sat down, he still bent down towards Zhu Youxiao very politely, and said in the broken official words of the Ming Dynasty: "I have seen His Majesty the respected Emperor Ming!" ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded, and then said with a smile: "I don't invite you to come to Daming to make any outstanding contributions to my Daming, I just hope that my Daming can become the cradle of scientists in the whole world, and let you come here to give you a stable and comfortable research environment, here, you can put forward your scientific concepts without reservation, support Copernicus's heliocentric theory, or things are landing at a uniform speed, no one will threaten your life because of your different opinions, including me, I will not be disrespectful to you because of your academic arguments, you can get your astronomical telescope out as soon as possible, and I can provide you with financial support. ”

When Zhu Youxiao said these words, except for Xu Guangqi, who could understand a little, the other ministers were all confused, which was also a point that they were very helpless, and His Majesty the Emperor now made them feel so mysterious that they sometimes couldn't figure out why this emperor could know so many strange things.

John Tong temporarily acted as an interpreter, but he did not appear directly in the Xinuan Pavilion, but was blocked by a screen, so Galileo could only hear John Tong's voice and could not see others.

But Galileo was still very surprised, he didn't expect that there were people who could know their own national language in a central institution like the empire, which shows how huge the country's political advisory group is and how rich the talents are.

Perhaps this is the reason why an empire has always been so strong, because it has been keeping a close eye on the changes in every other kingdom in this world.

Galileo is now obsessed, and his affection for Daming is getting deeper and deeper, like a sympathetic person's eyes, and any subtle place can make him see the good.

Galileo, who had completely lost his mind, understood Zhu Youxiao's meaning through his rudimentary knowledge of Chinese and John Tang's translation, which made him even more moved, he never thought that an emperor could attach so much importance to scientific research and give him all the freedom, which was difficult for the Medici family in Florence to fully do.

However, Zhu Youxiao did not talk to this Galileo for long, and in his opinion, talking to such scientific giants one more time would be a great waste of his life.

In the end, it was Xu Guangqi who brought Galileo to the Royal Academy of Sciences, and Zhu Youxiao did not immediately grant him the official position of reviewer of the Hanlin Academy and academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences, but only let Galileo temporarily work as a secretary of Xu Guangqi in the Royal Academy of Sciences, which is equivalent to a scientific research assistant.

This is also a helpless thing, although Zhu Youxiao himself knows that Galileo is very good, but the scientists of the Ming Dynasty do not agree, now the scientific research promotion of the Ming Dynasty has formed a set of systems, and it cannot be broken at will, so Galileo can only start from the book office, and he must have an article that can be published in the core scientific journals of the Ming Dynasty before he can be awarded an official position.
