Chapter 30: Experiments
After Zhao Yun and the ministers heard Zhao Zheng say about dreams, their spirits perked up, although they didn't know what the word dream meant, but looking at Zhao Zheng's expression, they could probably guess that the next words were very important. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Since three generations, there have been many recorded people who have ascended to the gods. But Zhao Zheng has always had a question, since those immortals can move mountains and seas, and turn stones into gold. Why don't you do whatever you want after becoming an immortal, so that my Chinese wind and rain will be smooth, the Yellow River will be clear, and the four seas will be leveled? ”
"The gods are going to test whether our incense is pious, human nature is lazy, how can we do it without the help of external spurs?" A young official walked out, his eyebrows on his face righteous.
"Who is this?"
"It is this year's new science list Yang Dong, the expression of the Yuan Ji, the official matter of the Judge Hall of the South Xichuan Festival, and he has not yet taken office." Ma Defang, the waiter on the side, explained in a low voice.
"Yang Gongshi, the matter of immortals has always been ethereal, I don't know what kind of allusion is to record exactly what incense those immortals will rare, not to mention those few pieces of cold pork. When mortals ask for immortals in everything, they will say that if they can bless me with the fulfillment of my wishes, I will build you a few more Taoist temples and add more incense to you. Is this doing business with the gods? ”
Saying this, the ministers all smiled, and after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the case.
Zhao Zheng continued: "Even if becoming an immortal needs to be too forgetful and cut off the mundane, then what is the benefit of such a way to becoming an immortal in the country? What's in it for the people? Zhao Zheng's immortal path lies in the extreme heavenly principles, the benefit of all things, and the purpose of everyone becoming immortals and establishing a human immortal country. For this reason, Zhao Zheng wants to turn the Tao into all things, and from all things to the Tao, Taoism is no longer a mysterious thing, but a real thing that everyone can see and hear! For this reason, Zhao Zheng wants to do an experiment, and dare to ask Zhugong what is this void? ”
The void that Zhao Zheng said is air, and there is no concept of air in ancient cognition.
"This void is naturally nothing!"
Zhao Zheng asked rhetorically: "What is that person's breath and breathing?" ”
"Of course, it's the qi of heaven and earth."
"Since the qi of heaven and earth is full of it, how can it be called a void?"
Qunchen and Zhao Yun are in a knot, this is clearly playing with words. But Zhao Zheng's words came again, and they had to start thinking seriously.
"Since this air is filled with the qi of heaven and earth, have you ever thought that this heaven and earth is infinite, then even if the qi of heaven and earth is very, very light, it will produce a strong weight, which I will call pressure for the time being."
Someone here couldn't help but speak: "Ridiculous, how can everything in the world survive with the earth, according to Zhao Xiaodaochang's meaning, we have long been crushed to death by the qi of heaven and earth." ”
The ministers' eyes lit up when they heard this, and then they burst into laughter.
Zhao Yun looked at Zhao Zheng with a calm face, a little curious about how he would refute it next.
Zhao Zheng was not ready to refute with words, but directly experimented: "Everyone, Zhao Zheng has something to prove where this atmospheric pressure is, please come with me." ”
Saying that, Zhao Zheng asked people to take out the iron balls in the basket of the hot air balloon, and what he wanted to do was the famous Madrid hemisphere experiment in later generations.
"You guys check first, see if it's an ordinary iron ball, lest you say what demon magic I used, what black dog blood or something like that, just touch it first." Zhao Zheng looked calm and relaxed.
This made people who originally had a heart dare not speak, but at Zhao Zheng's insistence, they wiped it with black dog blood.
Since there was no rubber, the edges of the two iron hemispheres were made of leather soaked in oil.
"Your Majesty, please let people try it first, and now can you separate the two hemispheres." Zhao Zheng resolutely did not do it himself for the sake of justice.
Sure enough, after Zhao Yun asked several guards to try, they all easily separated the iron balls.
"Okay, you've seen it, this iron ball can be easily separated by people, now I'm going to pump out the gas in this iron ball, guess what will happen?"
Vacuum pumps could not have been made under the present conditions, but the famous Madrid hemispheric experiment was done in the 17th century, and it did not use any high technology, but a very ingenious method.
Zhao Zheng has a small valve on an iron hemisphere, Zhao Zheng first asked people to fill the iron ball with water through this valve, and then used a simple pump to drain all the water inside, and then closed the valve.
The whole process was clear and clear, and it was not troublesome, and Zhao Zheng was even more distant from two feet away to command.
"Alright, Your Majesty, now please have this iron ball open again."
Zhao Yun nodded and pointed at a guard casually, but even if the guard blushed, he couldn't break the iron ball.
There was a lot of talk below.
"Your Majesty, you can call a few more guards to try it together."
Zhao Yun was also interested at this time, two or three were not good, and in the end, the full ten guards still couldn't pull him away.
At this time, some officials couldn't help but say: "It must be a demon law!" ”
Zhao Zheng smiled faintly, not annoyed: "It doesn't matter if it's a demon law or not, this method is clear at a glance, you can go home and experiment by yourself." At that time, if there were still people who thought that this was a demon law, Zhao Zheng also recognized it, after all, there was nothing terrible about the demon law that everyone would know. Just as humans can make fire, animals can't, in the eyes of animals, we probably used some kind of magic to make fire. ”
Before the official had time to reminisce about Zhao Zheng's words, Zhao Zheng suggested to Zhao Yun that he use fifty guards to see if he could be opened. This iron ball was larger than the one that was later experimented in the hemisphere of Madrid, and it would have taken a full sixteen horses to pull it apart. Based on Zhao Zheng's calculations, it is estimated that twenty-four horses will be needed to pull away.
As a result, the fifty guards still couldn't pull it away, coupled with the terrain restrictions of the Imperial Garden, the guards' strength was uneven, so the iron ball didn't want to be opened, and at this time, Zhao Zheng took the opportunity to propose to get the iron ball outside the palace, and offered a reward for the people to participate in pulling it away.
Zhao Zheng's move was naturally to increase his influence among the people, Zhao Yun also felt bored staying in the palace, and wanted to go out to breathe, but at this time he still had to fight for the consent of the two governments: "Shi Qing, do you think it's good?" ”
There was a Song Dynasty, and it was not strange for the emperor to pay private visits and parades out of the palace, Song Huizong often did this, and sometimes he did not avoid his identity, otherwise he could be unclear with Master Li, and it was widely spread in the Great Song Dynasty.
And Song Lizong Zhao Yun often did this in his later years, and he was even better, and he tried to recruit prostitutes into the palace. Therefore, Shi Miyuan did not stop too much: "Your Majesty, the old minister feels that it is not in line with the law to leave the palace in such a hurry, so he still asks the ministers to arrange one or two, and the official family will leave the palace again." ”
"It's good, it's good, just according to the words of the public." Shi Miyuan's face, Zhao Yun, didn't want to peel off, so he allowed it.
"Your Majesty, Shi Xianggong, all officials. This hot air balloon can be sat by everyone, and the official only needs to use the telescope to see the copper ball experiment on this hot air balloon. Zhao Zheng didn't want to end like this, so he said while the iron was hot.
"Really?" Zhao Yun spoke first: "What are the glasses?" ”
"You'll see it later. The official will go up with me to take a look. Zhao Zheng looked at the ministers, and today he was going to completely arouse the interest of the ministers and the emperor in his new Taoism.
But to Zhao Zheng's surprise, no one was willing to take the initiative to ask for it. Zhao Yun saw that the scene was a little embarrassing, so he asked the two guards to follow Zhao Zheng onto the hot air balloon.
The hot air balloon took off again after only a quarter of an hour of heating, and the two sergeants were still trembling at first, but when Zhao Zheng took out two glasses to show them, they became extremely excited and danced.
Seeing that the two guards were alive and well, and their souls did not ascend to the sky with the hot air balloon, the ministers shouted one after another: "Zhao Xianchang, I'm coming, I'm coming!" ”
For a while, the scene was full of chickens and dogs, and two officials had a quarrel over the quota.
――
Standing on the hot air balloon, the twilight aura on Shi Miyuan's body seemed to be blown away by the wind. He took his glasses and looked greedily at this Lin'an City, this mountain and river. He knew that his time was numbered, so he was extremely greedy.
"Xianggong, these glasses are for you. You see there's still a payment on it. ”
Shi Miyuan took off his glasses and used the reading glasses given by Zhao Zheng to see clearly the line of small characters on the tube.
A short sentence made Shi Miyuan feel a lot of emotion, this warm blessing made him regret that act that day, he shouldn't have tried it. Then he thought of Chen Bao, that person must die!
"Xianggong, let's go down, it's not cold in high places, and it's not good to catch a cold." It's another plain sentence, reflecting himself like an old friend. Shi Miyuan has been in power for more than 20 years, except for his family, few people talk to him in such a tone.
"Chief Zhao Xiaodao, the old man will pick up the wind and wash the dust for you at night, please come to the house with Huang Xianchang and your two senior brothers."
"Just call me Zhao Zheng."
……
Imperial Garden, Zhao Yun looked at Zhao Zheng and Shi Miyuan in the sky with a resentful face, those officials all went up, but Zhao Yun had not yet gotten the opportunity to go up, at this time, those officials all seemed extremely loyal, afraid that the emperor's holy body was ill, and they had to go up to investigate by themselves, so they could rest assured that the emperor would go up.
As Shi Miyuan came down, no one finally robbed him.
"Chief Zhao Xiaodao, what is the principle of this clairvoyant?" Zhao Yun was in the sky, looking at his glasses strangely, and he had a strong interest in what Zhao Zheng said.
"Your Majesty, this principle was actually proposed a thousand years ago."
"Who?"
"The principle is that the small holes recorded in the "Book of Ink" are phased, and this telescope uses Zhao Zheng's concave mirror to form a concave mirror to refract light, and then magnify the object."
Zhao Yun listened to Zhao Zheng's words and pondered for a while, but he still didn't understand, he had been in contact with Mozi's books there, and before he ascended the throne, he wanted to become an official through the imperial examination and specialize in Confucianism. But in order not to let Zhao Zheng despise it, and for the majesty of the emperor, he nodded: "I see!" ”
Zhao Zheng smiled, seeing Zhao Yun's appearance, he knew that he didn't understand the principle, but he didn't break it, he was not familiar with the emperor now, and face had to be given.
"Your Majesty wants to know what's on the moon?"
Zhao Yun's eyes widened, and he said impatiently: "Think!" Think! Have you ever been to Guanghan Palace? ”
Zhao Zheng shook his head: "I haven't been there, but with the glasses, Your Majesty can see for yourself, what is on the moon?" ”
