Before Li Yun came to Mincheng from the capital, he sorted out all kinds of speculations against Chen Jian in the capital circle, and a large part of them were also what he wanted to know. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, it is limited to the subject of chemical naturalism, Li Yun does not like to participate in those debates about people, rights, nature, contracts, etc., he feels that life is limited to specialization, but his classmates are more involved in the quarrels.

Before he came to Mincheng, there were two trends in the controversy sparked by the pamphlet on man and state.

One is to agree with this worldview, because it is not much different from the original worldview. The discussion thus begins that the rights of the human being belong to him and which are surrendered when he enters into a contract with the virtual personality of the state.

In addition, there are a lot of teasing or naïve but perhaps mature proposals under this worldview.

For example, a castrated person should be elected as the king, which will alleviate a lot of desires; For example, the whole people should elect a king with one person, one vote, and this king has supreme power, but before he can take the throne, he needs to promise what he can achieve in office.

This starts to tear up who is considered a citizen, and whether it is right to vote according to the property bonus? Do those who don't have enough property have the right to vote? Does not having enough property mean that this person is morally low and dirty, and must be more likely to do things for personal gain than those who are rich and noble......

The other is to oppose this worldview, and there are many reasons for opposition, the most dominant of which is the recognition of the duality of matter and soul.

From the soul transcending matter and independent of matter, we begin to consider whether there is a universally applicable and acceptable morality that can transcend the rich and poor, occupation, and gender, and sort out this morality and become a human code or even a hidden law.

Or write a code of conduct for each profession and class to achieve the purpose of restricting the behavior of each class. For example, what should be done and what should not be done in the farm, and thinking about those things is sin; How a woman should be, how she shouldn't, what kind of morality she should abide by; How should a son treat his parents, and how should a hired man treat his master......

All of this spreads among a closed, lonely group of people who are worried and worried about the future.

There are both backwards and forwards, dross and desirable, just like any group that has just entered puberty, still alive but about to mature. If this closed development continues, it will not be far from the restoration of the imperial hereditary system - without the pressure relief valve of technological breakthroughs and foreign wars and plunder, and the tremendous progress of the productive forces and party politics, it is very likely that a democratically elected emperor will appear as a buffer against the contradictions between the rich and powerful and the low.

In the process of communication, people with intentions began to choose the statements that were beneficial to themselves, and tried to seize the commanding heights of this war without guns, and for a time the middle and high-level and street politics in the capital began a big debate, and in the debate, the issues of induction, deduction, and logic were sorted out and developed.

This kind of communication also made many people in the capital know Chen Jian's name, but they didn't know what kind of person he was, and they always felt that maybe this should be a person who didn't care about the world and devoted himself to studying.

Including those who came to Mincheng with Li Yun, they also thought so before they set foot in Mincheng, but this illusion of people was shattered just after setting foot in Mincheng.

Obviously, he was not a person who did not ask about the world and devoted himself to studying, on the contrary, he not only asked about the world but also asked very deeply, so that the people of Mincheng would inevitably mention it, whether it was because of a charity trading company, a small loan that was almost interest-free, or because of the incident of the glass guild.

After mentioning more, these people began to be curious, and then some of them couldn't wait to see this young man who was somewhat famous in the capital.

In particular, I heard some rumors in the market: those people from the glass guild wanted to control the gray alkali and block Chen Jian's glass workshop, but they never expected that they were the disciples of the old gentleman of the Xue Palace, which could turn salt into alkali......

This news spread not long after the glass guild swallowed the alkali sold by Chen Jian not long ago, and it was also a factor for Tian Wenliang to determine that he had failed to control, he didn't believe in such a miraculous thing, but he couldn't stop the middle and low-level people from taking it as a joke.

At this point, Li Yun was already a little impatient, he was really curious about this kind of thing, especially for the subject he loved - he could turn alkali into salt, but he couldn't think of a way to turn salt into alkali.

For him, this kind of thing is like a cat smelling a salted fish, and his heart is surging, and he really can't help it.

Even if she came once, Li Yun was also familiar with the road, and took people directly to Chen Siwen's house.

asked where Chen Jian's workshop was, and found someone from a trading company to lead him to Nan'an.

When I arrived in Nan'an, I couldn't help but be dazzled by Chen Jian's glass workshop, looking at the towering chimneys, the carriages and the billowing black smoke, there was always a sense of mystery and illusion.

Chen Jian was immersed in the room and reading hard, in addition to the drawings of the broken brick building, there were also a lot of arithmetic books and other books, which were being translated there with Chinese characters that had not been used for a long time, starting from the beginning of geometric logical reasoning.

There is still a difference between the text here and the real Chinese characters, and there are not many traditional characters that he can do, so he has to write them all in simplified Chinese first.

After crossing over, I found more and more that I wanted to do too much, and I knew too little, and now I hate to read less, but I have to do my best.

I have to recall and remember that if I get out of the fog in the future, can I remember a few of this fashionable and young historical celebrities who are proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics and Chinese studies, and even kidnap him to force him to go out and open his eyes to the world.

It seems that the affairs of the trading company and the glass workshop have gradually entered the formality, and some things must be planned in advance, and a general direction must be set, and who can be killed and saved can make the world completely chaotic I don't even recognize it.

When Li Yun and the others arrived, Jian Chen rubbed his head, wondering in his heart that he would just ask Li Yun to do him a favor and see if he could find a draftsman who was proficient in geometric surveying and mapping in the Capital Academy, at least to help inquire so that he could visit him when he went to the capital.

packed up all the books that couldn't be shown, and went out to greet Li Yun.

After the ceremony, Li Yun introduced several people who came with him one by one, it is said that they are all figures in the school palace, Chen Jian did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked Zhao Si to go to the town to prepare a meal.

When I entered the house, I couldn't help but see a large number of books of this group piled up in Chen Jian's house, and found that they were all arithmetic geometry and the like, and several people couldn't help but be a little curious, but they didn't ask more.

"Senior brother, how is the gentleman?"

"I'm fine, and I'm happy, and I'm busy writing or experimenting in the house every day."

"That's good."

Li Yun smiled and said: "It's you, junior brother, this time Mr. asked me to come, mainly to let you go to the capital." The things you wrote have caused a lot of doubts, Sir is behind you, and our brothers are also behind you, but there are some things that are really difficult to explain. So Mr. wants you to go as soon as possible, one is that Mr. wants to talk to you, and the other is that he wants you to fight back against those doubts yourself. ”

Jian Chen snorted, and knew that he was just speculation, and it would be strange if he didn't question it.

"Senior brother, what did you question?"

"First of all, I was skeptical that the gas you said also has weight, and it is difficult for many people to imagine that the gas that cannot be seen or touched can have weight. Someone gave a question that was difficult to refute, and Mr. was also embarrassed by the headache. ”

"What's the problem?"

"There is a family by the sea, a few years ago, a ship transporting gold ore sank in the sea, so I organized some people to salvage the pearls. Because the water is a bit deep, several people's ears were crushed by the water, and it is said that when they go deep into the water dozens of paces deep, they will be uncomfortable. Therefore, the man questioned that if the air was qualitative and intangible, and it was said that the sky was so thick that it was impossible to know how thick it was, then the air should crush people to death, but no one felt it. ”

Jian Chen nodded, and asked again, "What else?" ”

"And the most important point is the conservation of the immortality of matter, which is the basis of all your speculations. Sir helped you through this wave, using a balance to weigh the bile alum and iron filings, and then throwing the iron filings into the gallium juice after the iron turned into copper, the weight remained the same. ”

"Then thank you, sir, isn't this a good idea?"

"According to the inductive method you said, then you can't just use this method, right? For example, after turning into gas, does it become lighter? Where can this be said clearly now, and there is not such a big scale. Now you also know that it is still difficult to weigh the gas on a weighing balance. ”

"Yes. Senior brother, you are a few days late, I just asked someone to bring a sum of money to the capital to visit Mr., and ask him to help find the craftsmen in the capital to make scales as a reward. A thousand silver coins will be made to work a little longer, and I'll take more later. ”

"The junior brother is still rich, and the shot is a thousand silver coins. Your glass workshop seems to have made a lot of money. ”

"Hahaha, what Senior Brother said is, why don't you use money? I pondered, in fact, in the current situation that the balance is not accurate, some things may not be impossible, such as soda ash and acid reaction claims carbon acid. If the amount is small, it will definitely not be accurate, so take out a hundred catties of alkali and a few hundred catties of acid to do it, this will definitely be able to be weighed...... It is not only to prove that the carbon dioxide has run away, but you can also use dozens of catties of caustic soda to absorb it to see if the weight has increased. ”

A few people next to him smacked their lips and smacked their tongues secretly, saying in their hearts that they were rich, and they were hundreds of pounds at every turn.

Li Yun also smiled bitterly: "Senior brother's idea is excellent...... It makes sense, but we have been doing some small experiments, and we really can't think of taking out hundreds of catties of acid and alkali at once just to verify one thing. As you said, you have to have money. ”

Jian Chen snapped his fingers and said, "So senior brother, you came just in time, and I will solve the problem of acid and alkali." Come, and show you something good. ”

Several people were also curious, and followed Jian Chen to the warehouse, where a bunch of strange pickle jar-style things were piled up.

Li Yun didn't know what was in it, so she joked: "When did the junior brother start the pickle business?" ”

"I'm afraid no one dares to eat this pickle. These are alum oils. ”

"Alum oil?!"

Everyone exclaimed in unison, looking at the dozens of pickle jars, they couldn't believe that there would be so many in Jian Chen's small workshop.

The lead chamber method or the cylinder tower method, no matter how primitive and backward it is, the output is always measured in tons, which completely subverts the imagination of following these people.

Knowing that this was not a pickle, Li Yun still swallowed her saliva, her throat moved up and down, and her heart was pounding.

For him, seeing so much money may not be so exciting. But seeing so much alum oil, it is really exciting, the mass production of this thing is a problem, many places to use but the output is too low, recalling that even from small to large together, I have never seen so many jars.

"This ...... How much is that? ”

"A lot, a few hundred catties anyway. I'm here to produce both glass and these things. Didn't I tell you before that I couldn't visit Mr. because I wanted to do something? Now that these things have a beginning, this thing is very useful for our discipline. When I go back this time, I can bring back a few jars, and some glassware and other things, so I can bring some more......

Li Yun nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay!" Good! Sir will be happy, if this thing has a few hundred pounds, it can really do a lot of things. ”

After saying this, Li Yun suddenly reacted and asked, "Senior brother, are you saying to let me go back?" Won't you go to the capital first? ”
