Galileo was not interested in becoming an official, but for him, he only wanted to know more about the kingdom, and discover the mystery of its development to its present ideal state, and who came up with the profound and epoch-making theory of the wave-particle duality of light in this magical country. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The theoretical knowledge of mechanical waves and the classical physics of particles was unheard of for Galileo at this time, and he could not help but be uninterested in a person who was extremely interested in the natural sciences, but he only felt that these might be conjectures with a certain logic, and he was eager to ask the proposer of this theory if there could be relevant experimental evidence.

But what Galileo didn't know was that Newton and his three laws had not yet appeared, classical physics had not yet been formed, and it would be difficult for any scientific giant to understand this kind of theoretical knowledge derived from classical physics.

Therefore, now in Daming, except for Zhu Youxiao, an undergraduate who has only studied basic physics in college, can explain to him a little systematically, no one can give him a clear explanation from the three laws of mechanics to what is wave-particle duality and the principle of light generation.

But Zhu Youxiao certainly wouldn't have that much spare time to teach a foreign bookstore, and if Galileo was smart enough, he could learn everything he wanted to know in the libraries and laboratories of the Royal Academy of Sciences.

Galileo's arrival at the Ming Royal Academy of Sciences is like an ordinary staff member who has just joined the company, and it is not a grand event in the entire Royal Academy of Sciences.

Therefore, when Xu Guangqi led him to the Royal Academy of Sciences, he did not have any welcome ceremony.

Most of the people who are now staying in the Royal Academy of Sciences are scholars from Jinshi or Juren, and even the same secretary as Galileo is also a scholar from Xiucai, for example, Fang Yizhi from Tongcheng, Anhui Province, is now the most proud student of Xu Guangqi, the head of the Royal Academy of Sciences, and has undertaken most of the theoretical topics under Xu Guangqi.

Perhaps most of these scholars in the Royal Academy of Sciences were too interested in miscellaneous studies to be less than ideal scholars on the road to the imperial examination, but in the end, they were also scholars, and they ignored the common people at the bottom, so they paid even less attention to Western fans like Galileo.

They don't care or know whether Galileo is the father of modern experimental science, after all, in their opinion, with miscellaneous knowledge, they are now the leaders of the whole world, and the Ming Dynasty is not inferior to any country in any aspect.

So when Galileo came to the Royal Academy of Sciences, almost no one wanted to communicate with him, even Matteo Ricci and John Tang, although they were not as far as Galileo in the history of science, but in the real life of the Ming Dynasty, these two were both academicians of the Royal Academy of Sciences and the Royal Academy of Engineering, and they both had the rank of five noble officials, and one was the core technical instructor of the Ming Ship Administration, and the data of steam-powered ships were almost determined by Matteo Ricci, and John Tang was the chief adviser of the Ordnance Division, From artillery to muskets, he was involved.

Therefore, even if they are all foreigners working for Daming, John Tong and Matteo Ricci are not very willing to pay attention to the old man Galileo.

Although Xu Guangqi also thought in his heart that there was no need for the old man to go to Europa to find someone who knew miscellaneous studies to come to Daming, but since His Majesty insisted on doing so, he didn't have much to say, and now that he is here, he also hopes that this Galileo can come up with some achievements, so Xu Guangqi is polite to Galileo.

But Xu Guangqi is a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion after all, and most of his energy is on some major decisions of the Ministry of Industry and the imperial court, and sometimes he has to deal with the struggle between Qian Qianyi and Li Mingrui, so he can't spare this Galileo, so he handed over this task to Fang Yizhi.

However, this can be regarded as a crooked attack, Fang Yizhi can be reused by Zhu Youxiao as a person in the Restoration Society because this person likes to study physics, and although Fang Yizhi does not agree with some of His Majesty's policies today, fortunately, he is only engaged in research, and he doesn't care much about politics.

Now that Galileo came, this party chatted with Galileo with wisdom and became a friend of the year, although because of language communication problems, the communication efficiency was not high, but for Galileo, he was the only friend in Daming.

"Your Majesty is very preferential to us who are engaged in research, every academician has his own special research institute in the Royal Academy of Sciences, which is generally a garden that covers a large area, His Majesty directly opened up the Royal West Garden in order to save people's resources, and the place we are staying in now is Heshun Garden, and now it is Xu Ge Lao's research institute, and you and I and a few people transferred from the Hanlin Academy are Xu Ge Lao's book office, each academician will have a pedant (researcher) below, we are with Bi Maoshi pedant service, This person is the younger brother of Lord Bi Maokang of the Ordnance Department, and like Academician Tang Ruowang, who is good at formulating cannon rules, he often stays in the Ordnance Department, and usually does not come back to the Royal Academy of Sciences, and Xu Ge Lao is also busy, so this research room is basically just me, and now you are here even two. ”

Fang Yizhi said and took Galileo into a courtyard: "This is the mechanics and optics research room where you and I will stay in the future, Bi Maoshi is good at using the basis of mechanics to improve the range of firearms, so His Majesty let him be a scholar here, I am determined to be optical, you will stay here in the future to engage in mechanics, this thing is a laboratory on both sides, you can design your own experiments, what you need to purchase, you can go directly to the Royal Industrial Company Experimental Bureau opposite to get it, what they do is the equipment we do to carry out experiments, But we don't have to pay, basically we all apply for reimbursement from the above by Bi Maoshi. ”

Galileo listened in a trance, he did not expect that a person engaged in this kind of academic research would also have his own courtyard, equipped with a garden and a pool, as if he was doing experiments in the back garden of the Duke's Palace in Florence, and then looked at the various glassware and other strangely shaped equipment in the two compartments of the thing, he was even more surprised, and what surprised him the most was that he actually found in the west wing a special telescope that he had always wanted to do but did not do, that is, a telescope that could observe astronomy.

Galileo didn't know that this was some super-era equipment that Zhu Youxiao had casually acquired a few years after his initial crossing, and he only knew that there were too many surprises in this country.

Galileo was so excited that he was eager to immediately confirm some of his scientific conjectures that he had been puzzled with experiments, but he couldn't do that yet, because he found that what he needed most now was to improve his mastery of Chinese characters, or at least to be able to write articles that could be understood by people in this country.

Moreover, Galileo also had some envy in his heart for the current academicians like Matteo Ricci and John Tong, who could already enjoy such a large-scale experimental site and experimental assistants, and he did not think that he would be worse than these missionaries.
