Chapter 110: One Hundred Thousand Whys
"How far has it got? Hands-on? ”
"Not yet. The www.biquge.info was heated during the discussion in the evening, but the normal operation of the weekdays did not affect it. ”
Jian Chen smiled: "There is no problem. Our original goal was to make the republic a better place. Under this big identity, everyone got together. The question arises, how can it be better? Different people, different industries have different opinions. Over time, they will naturally form their own programs. It makes no sense to talk about getting better, there has to be a direction, a rational argument. ”
Hu Lin nodded and said, "Everyone also means the same, and encourages continued discussions." I'm just worried about what will be separated from the Holy Moral Alliance, which has already been separated from us? ”
Chen Jian spread his hands and said, "Then it's not for us to know." In terms of purpose, we all have the same goal, and we all want to be better in the future. It's a sea, a blue sea, and countless tributaries converge into it. ”
"But the snow-capped mountains and mud swamps where the rivers originate are different. People are like drops of water, even if they flow into the sea, they still have to ask themselves where the source of their thoughts is. Is it a snowy mountain? Moss? Spring? Stone wall? There must always be a source, a hundred flowers bloom, and all sources contend. ”
"Eventually, these sources will merge into a big river and flow to the sea."
"If there is only one big river, the droplets in the sea may think, I am from the snow-capped mountains, and the guy next to me is from the mire."
"If there is a second river, then after thinking about this, these drops of water will also think, I am from the big river, although the drop next to it comes from the mud swamp and not the snow mountain, but it also comes from the big river, but the drop of water next to it comes from the Min River; Maybe I'm from the Snow Mountain, hey, the water droplets of the Min River next to me are also from the Snow Mountain, it turns out that we are all from the Snow Mountain. ”
"One day where the sea meets the sky, there may be a boundless fire, so these droplets may think that I am first water, so that I can think about what water is and return to the essence of water."
"What kind of water you are depends on what the situation is at the time, and you will choose to believe what is the modification in front of your water droplet. Brother Zhu, which of these droplets is right? ”
Hu Lin tilted his head, thought for a long time, and wondered: "It seems that what you said is right?" ”
Jian Chen laughed and said, "I lied to you, what I said is not right." From the perspective of the rationality of the school palace, all the history of water is nothing more than the history of the struggle between water and fire. The fire of the sun sends out water vapor, turns into clouds, turns into rain, falls on snow-capped mountains, falls into mires, and seeps into stone walls. When you look at it as a drop of water from a snow-capped mountain, sweeping away all the covering, it is actually essentially a legacy and manifestation of the struggle between water and fire. The problem is that it's too far away to see through. ”
Hu Lin didn't think much about it when he heard Jian Chen joking there, but he didn't want Jian Chen to pick up a glass on a table and say, "Brother Zhu, what is this?" ”
Hu Lin took the cup, put it in his hand and played with it, and said for a long time: "Cup? ”
"Be specific."
"Glass."
"To be precise, this is a glass made of lead oxide, with a round mouth, a wide belly, a narrow mouth, and high legs. That's why people like to say just the last few words, and there are things that don't make sense to say too much. It's better not to say it and go with the flow. ”
Hu Lin said with a smile: "According to what you said, the full name of a certain drop of water should be because of the struggle between water and fire to rise into the snow landscape from the big river after the clouds fall." ”
Jian Chen also smiled: "There is another way of saying it. Because the struggle between water and fire rose into the clouds and fell on the great river of the snow-capped mountains. ”
"Is there a difference?"
"You say, the droplets must still be soaking in the river. I say this by the fact that it flows into the sea and meets the water of the Min River. ”
"Is there really another big river besides the big river?"
"If you don't try to see it with your own eyes, how do you know?"
"That would be even more messy."
"The more chaotic the better, and the more chaotic it is, so that the water droplets can know what the essence of water is."
When Hu Lin heard this, he roughly understood.
Thinking of the previous shipyard, Chen Jian spent money to customize a ship suitable for long-distance voyages, as well as Chen Jian's resignation in internal affairs, everything is clear.
"You're going to sea?"
Jian Chen nodded wordlessly, and sighed and said, "Brother Zhu, this is a secret for the time being. Don't say it, there are some things that I can't do if I say it. ”
"For example?"
"For example, I said that I want to take everyone to make money together and raise money shares. Who would put their money in someone who couldn't tell if they were going to die? ”
"So you're shirking a lot of responsibility, including the finance commissioner? What are you asking for the future? ”
"Almost, who knows how long it will take to go to sea? A perfect organization, as long as the shelves are there, anyone can run without it, this is right. ”
Hu Lin was speechless, and said for a long time: "May you come back alive." ”
"As much as possible."
The two men looked at each other and smiled, and they walked to the window in unison, looking out at the blurred sea through the small glass window.
…………
Half a month later, Chen Jian dismissed his position as a financial committee member at an internal party meeting, relieved most of the professional party members, completed the handover, and turned to the internal affairs of his workshop.
The internal controversy continued, and various currents of thought or brains emerged one after another, and no one put forward a single argument that overwhelmed the rest, and the controversy continued.
Chen Jian did not participate in the discussion, but prepared detailed materials and organized logic, and was not in a hurry to throw out his own opinions at this time, but let these discussions continue to ferment.
In half a month, from Jian Chen's point of view, a lot has happened. There are banquets, congratulations, workshop affairs, and some personal chores.
Most of those who followed Jian Chen to Mincheng also had their own arrangements.
The craftsmen went to Chen Jian's smelting and forging workshop and began to learn how to make hammers and prepare tools such as drill knives for small lathes.
Li Yun and the others went to Chen Jian's chemistry workshop and were amazed by the reaction that took place inside.
However, they knew that they were coming to the right thing this time, as Mr. said, was to cooperate with this little junior brother to compile two sets of chemistry textbooks and complete the system.
The basic support of this system is the hypothesis of the aggregation of particles of all things, and this hypothesis is to be used as the tone of the whole book.
Starting from the simplest definition of chemistry, to the definitions of yin and yang, compounding, decomposition, mixing, etc., it is necessary to summarize them one by one.
Chen Jian said that just like an enlightened textbook of geometry or arithmetic, it starts with the definition and summarizes it little by little.
The senior brothers and sisters all know that this is a major event, and it can be regarded as a major event that has written a book to leave a name in history, so naturally they dare not slack off.
can be admitted to the palace, naturally not an ordinary person. In addition to their own studies, such as arithmetic, literature, poetry, swordsmanship, etc., all need to be dabbled in to a certain extent, and everyone's cultural foundation is actually much stronger than Chen Jian.
This kind of compilation of new books is more suitable for these people than Chen Jian.
Every day, I have to be busy until late, discussing a name and a definition, and if there is any dispute, I will go to Jian Chen to discuss it together.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, and the most basic thing in compiling this book is the preface at the beginning.
Everyone except Chen Jian can be regarded as brilliant, but after writing it, it tastes a little less than a little hot to read.
After discussing it together for a long time, the brothers finally decided to write a letter to Mr. Mu and ask him to write a preface to explain what chemistry is and what it means.
The opening chapter after the preface is written by Li Yun. From the origin of the myth of Pangu Kaitian as a worldview, the particle theory is derived, and it is derived from this.
The rest of the content is basically a basic introduction to the evil path of positive and negative electrochemistry similar to the positive and negative electrochemistry of a certain era between particles and yin and yang. This electrochemistry is not the other electrochemistry, which refers to the evil path of explaining the problem entirely by positive and negative yin and yang, rather than the right path of electrolysis under large industry.
It's the wrong way, but it's the right way to go.
With some hand-drawn illustrations and some experimental methods, try to repeat the above drawings as much as possible.
Try to be verbose rather than simplify, and be detailed.
It sounds like a great thing that can be left behind for future generations, but the actual process of writing it is still boring and boring.
After being dull for a long time, Jian Chen proposed a method that could be regarded as a way to distract people, allowing everyone to rest for three days after five days of writing, saying that it was a combination of work and rest.
A combination of work and rest, but this Yi is a little weird.
Li Yun believed Chen Jian's words, so she chose the method that Chen Jian said.
Chen Jian said that if you want more people to accept the easy-to-understand knowledge, it is better to go to the street and ask people what they want to know, as a kind of rest when they are tired of writing.
Li Yun said that since this is the case, then you might as well compile another book by the way, called "Why".
Chen Jian said that it is still called "100,000 Whys".
Li Yun said, don't say 100,000 whys, even a hundred whys, I may not be able to answer, after all, there is a specialization in the art industry.
Chen Jian said that there is no need to rush. If our discipline can't answer it, we can let gentlemen from other disciplines answer it, and there is always someone who can answer it.
Li Yun said again, then what is the depth of these answers?
Jian Chen said, it depends on your ability. It should be simple and interesting, so that the enlightened person can read it in his hand, and it is better to add some interesting anecdotes such as jokes and anecdotes, but be sure to explain it clearly. You are all well-read, well-versed in ancient and modern times, and proficient in classic stories, and I am absolutely inferior to this.
Li Yun frowned, what she said in her heart was so simple, but she didn't know how difficult it was to do it? If you can really do it, it must be a well-known figure in the market, although I have studied the six arts of the gentleman for a few years, but I don't have this ability.
However, according to what Jian Chen said, he tried to go out and wander around, and after asking for a day, Li Yun's interest came.
Because he is a disciple of the Academy, he is inevitably respected.
There are adults and children who ask, and the questions are also varied, either they are strange and strange, or they are ashamed of privacy, or they are asked that make Li Yun frown and think hard to explain.
Li Yun almost couldn't answer any of the children's questions.
"Why is the sun big in the morning and small at noon? Cold in the morning? Hot in the middle of the day? ”
"Why do people fart?"
"Why do kites fly? Why don't you fly when the line is broken? ”
"Why is it that when I sit on the ground, little Ding Ding is swollen? The doctor asked my mother to smear it with the duck's saliva, what did the duck do to my little Tintin? ”
"A long time ago, Ji Xia said that snails really grew up eating dead people. Are there all the ghosts in it? ”
"Why does one plus one equal two?"
……
As Li Yun thought, don't say 100,000 whys, even a hundred whys, he can't answer.
However, the children's questions also made Li Yun and others think deeply, they are convinced that rational science can explain everything, even the movement of the sun, the earth and the stars, so these problems must have some secrets that they may not know yet, but they are used to thinking that they are laws but forget to ask why.
Compared with the children's questions, the adults' questions are simpler, and Li Yun finally met one that could be answered.
When I went back, I sorted it out, and if I thought it was related to what I had learned, I took it out separately. Those that have nothing to do with themselves will be sorted out one by one according to the classification of today's disciplines.
A few days later, Li Yun took the answer to a question, and after explaining a person's question with an experiment, he finally realized the pleasure of it.
The first answer to 100,000 whys was sorted out in Mincheng in this way.
Looking at the answers he had written, he felt that he was qualified from the requirements suggested by Jian Chen.
"Enlightened people can understand, once they start reading, they should read it in one sitting to find the answer, a little interesting, the real explanation is not nonsense, mixed with some historical anecdotes about the matter, and strive to be able to talk about it the next day when everyone is idle after reading."
Li Yun thought, writing this thing is actually much more interesting than writing a textbook, it turns out that on some levels, I don't know why there are as many things as children - for example, when the male dog and the female dog lie together, why can't they be pulled away as if they are hooked?
You have to ask the people in agronomy or medicine who cut open all the dead bodies with knives all day long, what are these children thinking all day long?
