Zhang Bingliang quickly browsed the information in his hand, and what was much better than Wang Chengen was that Zhang Bingliang was good at alchemy after all, and he could vaguely guess the content of this information. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhang Bingliang from the initial shock to admiration, such a psychological change is gradually imprinted in his heart with a piece of paper.

Chongzhen was very patient, he looked at Zhang Bingliang's excited and almost fanatical expression with interest, such a look was not what he expected, anyone in this Ming Dynasty would have the same look when he saw this piece of information in his hand. Chongzhen tasted Longjing tea carefully, and felt that today's Longjing was extraordinarily fragrant, and the rich aroma penetrated the heart and spleen, which was refreshing and pleasant.

Zhang Bingliang did not take long to read the whole content, but it was not that Chongzhen wrote too simply, on the contrary, such a basic chemistry textbook was tantamount to a god-like work for the Ming Dynasty, where chemistry had not yet started. Zhang Bingliang is very eager to understand the content of the textbook as soon as possible, and it feels like a child facing his favorite toy, and he can't contain his love for it.

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't quite understand what is written on it, but the minister vaguely feels that this content is somewhat similar to the minister's alchemy, and I don't know if it comes from the notes of which alchemy master. And there are many symbols on it, which the minister has never heard of, and the minister will not be able to grasp its mystery for a while. After reading it, Zhang Bingliang directly revealed his heart to Chongzhen, in front of Chongzhen, he felt that he should not hide anything, because he could really feel Chongzhen's trust. In this Ming Dynasty, where Confucianism unified the world, the truth that a scholar dies for a confidant has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is just an instinctive reaction that does not need any cover-up.

It seems that Zhang Bingliang misunderstood that he was going to learn alchemy, and even misunderstood the foundation of chemistry as coming from the hands of a famous alchemist. Chongzhen felt funny, was he too advanced, and helplessly explained to Zhang Bingliang: "Zhang Aiqing, you misunderstood. This is not the note of the alchemist, but it was written by me, and everything is written by me. It mainly describes the reactions between various substances and the expression of substances and reactions. Symbols that you don't understand are used to represent matter. ”

"Mean substance? May I ask the emperor, what is this substance? Zhang Bingliang didn't know much about the material in Chongzhen's mouth, and if he didn't understand, he asked like a child who had learned from school.

"Our world is made up of all kinds of objects. For example, this sword is made of stainless steel, and this purple clay pot is made of purple sand, and things like stainless steel and purple sand that make up various objects are called substances. This Zhang Bingliang didn't even understand what the substance was, which made Chongzhen feel that it was very difficult to explain, so he had to point to the Longquan sword on the wall next to him and the purple clay pot in his hand as examples.

"So, is this brush made of something like wolf hair and bamboo?" Zhang Bingliang's comprehension ability is still quite strong, and he can quickly draw inferences.

"Yes, that's good. That's right. However, this is only a rough understanding and is not too accurate. So, I designed these symbols to represent these substances concretely, so that we can distinguish between them. Chongzhen felt that it was very laborious to explain to Zhang Bingliang, and the gap was too big; Chongzhen took a sip of tea and continued: "I call these symbolic elements, I believe that everything in this world is made up of matter, and matter is made up of various elements. For example, the table salt we eat is composed of sodium and chlorine. ”

"Your Majesty, in this way, can all the substances on my side be represented by these elemental symbols?" As he spoke, Zhang Bingliang took out the alchemy materials he had sorted out and presented them to Chongzhen with both hands.

Chongzhen flipped through the alchemy items compiled by Zhang Bingliang, and the names that were both familiar and unfamiliar appeared, but Chongzhen could basically deduce the approximate content. After Chongzhen browsed hastily, he basically had an idea in his heart.

"I've basically checked it, and these substances can be represented by elemental symbols." Chongzhen explained several of these substances, and demonstrated while explaining.

At this time, Chongzhen was like a teacher, and Zhang Bingliang listened carefully like a student. Chongzhen explained very seriously, and Zhang Bingliang was also very curious. Time passed quietly between a question and an answer, and before he knew it, it was late at night, Chongzhen stood up and moved, and found that it was not early.

"Zhang Aiqing, let's get here first today. You have basically understood the chemistry knowledge introduced here. You go back and rest today, and tomorrow you have someone engrave it and make it a book, and then deliver a copy to me. You can't understand all the content in a day, so you should study it well in the past few days and be sure to master it thoroughly in a short period of time. If there is anything you don't understand these days, you can go in and out of the palace at any time to consult. "Chongzhen plans to explain here today, these days have been staying up late, Chongzhen feels that his body is not too comfortable, it seems that he can't do this. There is still a long way to go to reform the Ming Dynasty, we must have enough patience, and we must have a strong physique, and it seems that we need to exercise. The road ahead will be very difficult, and tomorrow it seems that we need to go to the barracks, in this troubled world, without a strong army, everything is a floating cloud.

"Yes, the emperor, the minister retired first, the emperor pays attention to his body!" Zhang Bingliang noticed that Chongzhen's eyes were bloodshot, and then he realized that Chongzhen had been thinking hard for Daming since he ascended the throne, and he really couldn't bear it.
