What Chao Yong wanted to do was Galileo's experiment at the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and the choice of the Eiffel Tower was also a tribute to the Leaning Tower. But the Kaibao Temple Tower is undoubtedly more legendary than the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Leaning Tower of Pisa is because of the unreasonable design, resulting in the construction of the tower began to be crooked, so it was once suspended, and the Kaibao Temple Tower was designed at the beginning of the consideration of the wind factor, deliberately caused the Leaning Tower, and finally became positive under the impetus of the wind.

Moreover, the experiment designed by Chao Yong is also more rigorous than Galileo's, and if the two experiments are carried out at the same time, Chao Yong is also confident that the famous experiment must be the iron tower experiment.

The Kaibao Temple Pagoda was originally built to enshrine the relics of Emperor Ashoka, and in order to allow believers to worship, an open field was left in front of the tower.

There were still a few feet away from the tower, so Chao Yong stood still and motioned for the teachers and students behind him to come closer.

When everyone gathered around, Chao Yong took a gold nugget and a silver nugget from Shi Yong's hand, and said with a smile: "This gold brick is the same size as the silver brick, both are solid, are they the same weight?" ”

Qin Hui immediately said: "Gold is heavier than silver. ”

"Gold weight."

"Of course it's gold."

Everyone was also accustomed to Chao Yong's free teaching atmosphere and spoke one after another.

Chao Yong smiled: "Yes, gold nuggets are heavier than silver nuggets, you see, I have done tricks." ”

As he spoke, he handed the gold and silver nuggets in his hand to Qin Hui.

The gold and silver nuggets were no more than the size of a fist, but the weight was not light, Qin Hui took it, and his wrist sank, and the hand holding the gold nugget sank significantly lower.

A few more people were passed on, and Chao Yong signaled them to come back, and said with a smile: "There is no problem with this gold nugget and silver nuggets, right?" They are the same size, but one is light and one is heavier. If they were to be thrown down from the tower at the same time, would the gold nuggets land first, the silver nuggets fall first, or both? ”

"Naturally, it is heavy to land first."

"The nuggets hit first."

"The nuggets hit first."

……

As soon as the words fell, the students gave answers one after another, saying in unison that the gold nuggets landed first.

Chao Yong looked at Qin Hui on the side and said with a smile: "What do you think?" ”

The student's first reaction was that the nugget landed first. But when the prince demonstrated this experiment in public, perhaps the result would not be the same as everyone thought. ”

Qin Hui also knew the status of the prince, and after asking for advice in private a few times, he regarded himself as a student of Chao Yong, and Chao Yong saw that Qin Hui studied seriously, but he did not object. As for Qin Hui's motives, he didn't care. Learning to become a literary and martial artist, and goods to the emperor's family, this is the idea of most scholars.

Chao Yong wanted to use Qin Hui to spread mathematics and physics, and give Qin Hui the identity of a prince's disciple. It is more conducive to the transmission of Qin Hui. If Qin Hui does well, Chao Yong doesn't mind letting him be an official in the future.

There are very few people who really do learning, whether in ancient or modern times.

Qin Hui's answer, although it was a little treacherous, but he didn't hide his thoughts, and it was not offensive, but he felt that Qin Hui was honest.

Chao Yong smiled, took a wooden box that looked like a drawer from Shi Yong's hand, and put the gold and silver nuggets in front of him. Then he pushed the plank behind him and said, "You see, push this plank, and the plank will slowly push the gold and silver nuggets forward." It is possible to drop out of the margin block and the silver bar at the same time. Do you have any questions about this? ”

The crowd gathered around and looked, and the planks on which the gold and silver nuggets were placed and the planks that were pushed were neat, and the planks could be pushed out of the planks along with the silver nuggets, and then they fell.

The crowd thought about it. They all nodded and said there was no problem.

Chao Yong smiled: "If you do an experiment here, because the speed of the two objects falling is fast, they will all fall to the ground in the blink of an eye." So it's hard to see the succession. ”

Everyone nodded yes.

Chao Yong pointed to the tower and said, "But if you throw two balls down from the tower at the same time, if their speed is not the same, such a high distance is enough for them to separate the first, right?" Just like a race between man and a horse, it may be equal at first, but when the distance is long, people will definitely not be able to outrun the horse. ”

These days, Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Wu have also been learning Chao Yong's mathematics, and for them, simple numbers are of great use in both military and political affairs.

After Xu Guanzhong read the experiment written by Chao Yong that day, he went back and did a test, as long as the experiment was rigorous, it really landed at the same time.

However, he obviously will not say this result in advance, weakening the impact of Chao Yong's experiment on people.

Everyone felt that the gold nugget landed first, but the experimental results were unexpected by everyone, which was exciting enough. If there is an argument, there will always be a winner in the end, and the experiment will not be so impactful.

Chao Yong saw that everyone had no objections, so he said to Shi Yong: "You take them up to the fifth floor of the tower, and when you see me signaling, you push the plank." ”

The thirteenth floor of the iron tower is more than ten zhang high, and two dozens of catties of things are thrown from more than ten zhang high, and the power is no less than that of the stone thrower.

"Yes"

The abbot of the Iron Tower Temple has been listening to the prince's eloquent conversation, and now he knows the prince's intention to bring people here, and hurriedly said: "The tower enshrines the relics of the Buddha of Emperor Ashoka, and also asks the prince to let people enter the iron tower at will, and disrespect the Buddha." ”

Chao Yong smiled: "What Ashoka, it doesn't sound like my Han name." ”

The abbot hurriedly said: "Ashoka is the third king of the Tianzhu Peacock Dynasty and the protector ...... Buddhism. ”

Chao Yong waved his hand to interrupt the host's words and said, "I don't believe in Buddhism, let alone foreign monks, don't tell me these stories." Today I will borrow the tower, and if any Buddha does not borrow it, I will ask him to come out and talk to me. ”

The abbot's forehead couldn't help but jump, and the prince was undoubtedly saying that there was no Buddha at all.

He really wanted the Buddha to come out and teach the prince who was disrespectful to the Buddha, but he had never seen the Buddha appear. Since the Buddha can't come out, they can only dedicate themselves to the Buddha as believers.

"Although the status of the prince is noble, he can't invite the Buddha.

Disrespectful Tower Ghost Things:

As soon as you stop in the air, the stench of corruption ripples, and the corpses and insects gather together, eating your foul smell.

2. What is the karma of the previous life 1, the sword cuts the chest by itself, the wound is sprinkled with alum salt, and it is cut again and again?

Third, how can you do evil karma in your body, and how can you repay your karma, and how will you suffer from this?

Fourth, I live in the city of Wangshe, in the cave of Merlot. I am the ruler, and I am a man of many riches.

Fifth, this is the wife of the previous life, my daughter and the righteous daughter. I have a good fragrant tree, the name of the tree is Damara, I have a green lotus flower, I refuse to respect the pagoda, and according to this bad karma,

The six of us each suffered, and there were eighty-six thousand, and they scolded those who worshiped the stupa. Hell eats chaff.

7. Or make offerings to the stupa, and when the great sacrifice is performed, they are divided in order to show malice.

Eight people come from the air, solemnly holding garlands, receiving the fruits of this karma, they are rich in happiness.

Nine and this is inconceivable, see it with amazement, and return to the sages. Return to the Great Muni.

I went from here, I received a human womb, made offerings to the stupas, and never slackened off. ”

I have to say that this abbot is not a monk who messes around. When you open your mouth, you will have a period of retribution for disrespecting the pagoda.

Under the threat of hell, many people fell to the ground.

Chao Yong turned his head to look, but the teachers and students of Taixue were basically indifferent.

Chao Yong said to Qin Hui on the side: "Don't you believe in Buddhism? ”

Qin Hui also saw the prince's attitude towards Buddhism, and hurriedly said: "The son is silent, and the power is confused. Students do not believe in Buddhism. In the eyes of the students, Buddhism is nothing more than a fallacy from a barbarian state. As Han Yu of the Tang Dynasty said, many people used Buddhism to evade taxes. The believers do not farm, but live by sucking the blood and sweat of the people. Many sages also escaped into the temple to recite scriptures and practice Buddhism, which was not used by the imperial court, but was really harmful to the imperial court. When Song Renzong wanted to build this tower, the ministers of the court and the central government had many objections and stopped Song Renzong for a time. The scholars led by Cai Xiang believed that the relics could not even protect the wooden pagoda that enshrined it, and the fire struck and disappeared overnight, what kind of god is it. The hard-earned money of the people cannot be wasted to build this tower. When Cai Xiang returned to his hometown because of his father's worries, Song Renzong took the opportunity to rebuild the tower. ”

Qin Hui did not lack courage, and when the Jin soldiers invaded for the first time, they wrote against the cession of land.

Now that he is under the prince's door, he is willing to be the prince's pawn, and with the prince's power and short-term temperament, he does not have to fear any retaliation.

Qin Hui's erudition also allowed him to come up with these allusions to prove his arguments.

From the reaction of the scholars later, Chao Yong also saw their attitude towards Buddhism, and the scholars were on the side of the imperial court, and the plan to exterminate the religion would be more secure.

The abbot on the side heard Qin Hui say this, and hurriedly retorted: "Our food is mainly from the temple property, and all the sesame oil money from the believers is used to worship the Buddha and make a golden body for the Buddha, how dare we steal it." ”

Qin Hui said: "You don't do production, don't the temple property also come from the people?" ”

Chao Yong was about to send troops, and he didn't want to say anything about the extermination of the sect right away, so he waved his hand and said: "Don't argue about this matter anymore, I came here today just to borrow the iron tower, presumably the Buddha will not be so stingy." Shi Yong, go up to the tower, if someone dares to stop it, take it all. ”

"Yes"

Shi Yong was also ashamed of his previous hesitation, glanced coldly at the abbot of Kaibao Temple, and walked towards the tower with the wooden box.

A group of soldiers from behind also followed to the tower, carrying some planks.

The host felt the tyrannical killing intent in Shi Yong's eyes, and also knew that the person in front of him must be the elite who followed the prince to fight the world, that is, the Buddha really appeared in front of him, but he was afraid that he would be torn to pieces.

"Amitabha, karma, not at all."

The abbot proclaimed a Buddha name, but he did not sacrifice his life for righteousness, as if the Buddha would descend on retribution.

Soon, Shi Yong appeared on the fifth floor.

Chao Yong said to the people behind him: "You can also see whether the ball is falling at the same time, everyone pay attention, this experimental process is very short." ”

Everyone didn't doubt that the prince would do anything, after all, this experiment could be done after he went back, and if he cheated, he could hide it for a while, but he couldn't hide it for a lifetime.

Chao Yong saw that everyone was looking forward to it, so he waved his hand and said, "Let's start." ”

When Shi Yong saw Chao Yong's order, he immediately pushed the wooden plank and pushed the gold and silver nuggets out.

One gold and one silver, with distinct colors, appeared in everyone's sight at the same time, and then fell together, as if there was an invisible silk thread in the middle.

"Bang"

Both landed at the same time, and to everyone's ears, it seemed that there was only one sound.

"At the same time, at the same time."

"I'm not mistaken, how could it be that they fell together? Which one do you see fall first? ”

"At the same time."

This result was obviously unexpected by everyone, and one by one they became suspicious.

Chao Yong smiled: "Everyone is not mistaken, it is not that the heavier the object, the faster it falls. ”

As he spoke, he asked for two more pieces of paper from the hands of the soldiers beside him, and said, "These two pieces of paper are of the same size and weight. ”

As he spoke, he crumpled one into a small ball and folded one into a paper airplane, and said with a smile: "The weight has not changed, will they fall at the same speed?" ”

The crowd wanted to say the same. But just after being hit by Chao Yong for a while, no one dared to export easily.

Chao Yong looked at Qin Hui next to him and said, "Which one do you say will land first?" ”

Qin Hui thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "Let's land on the paper ball first." ”

Chao Yong smiled: "Why? ”

Qin Hui pointed to the plane and said, "This one, like the wings of a bird, may be affected by the wind." ”

Chao Yong smiled: "You're right, it's not right, now there is no wind, and the paper ball will land first." ”

As soon as he said that, the paper ball fell to the ground, although the paper airplane did not fly. But it also swayed before it fell.

Even if the time for Chao Yong to release his hands is a little slight, the speed of the fall of the two is also clear at a glance.

In fact, there was also wind at this time, but there was no obvious feeling, and Qin Hui and others felt that there was no wind.

Two simple experiments left everyone at a loss.

Chao Yong smiled: "The truth of this will be explained in my physics book in the future, physics is the knowledge that reveals the laws of all things." Observe life more and do more hands-on work instead of taking it for granted. Physics is a hands-on discipline that you can verify through experiments. ”

"There's someone at the top of the tower."

"What are they going to do?"

"It's not going to jump off the tower."

Although it is a few feet away from the tower. But when they saw people on the top of the tower, the crowd still subconsciously squeezed back, for fear that the people above would fall and hit them.

Qin Hui hurriedly said to Chao Yong: "The prince is careful. ”

Chao Yong smiled: "They are my own soldiers, do you think people can survive if they jump from above?" ”

Qin Hui looked up at the towering iron tower. Just thinking about it, his legs became weak, and he said with a pale face: "It's so high, I'm afraid that if you jump down, there will be no bones." ”

The people who heard Chao Yong's words also looked at the people on the top of the tower in disbelief.

Could it be that they really want to jump.

Chao Yong smiled: "No." With the knowledge of physics, you can jump off safely. ”

As he spoke, several planks had been inserted horizontally at the top of the tower, and the people on the top of the tower had all walked onto the planks. Far from the tower.

There was a man standing in the front, and a few people in the back seemed to be pulling a large cloth.

"Jumped off."

"Ahh

"Hide"

"Don't squeeze me"

The people below saw the man run out of the top of the tower and start falling, and immediately became a mess.

"Amitabha"

The abbot of Kaibao Temple on the side trembled and chanted the Buddha.

There were half of the people at the scene who closed their eyes, some were timid, and some were unbearable.

Chao Yong watched Shi Yong's performance without changing his face, that's right, it was Shi Yong who parachuted in the air.

This performance has been rehearsed countless times, and in order to prepare for today's lesson, Chao Yong made a parachute and asked Shi Yong to practice in Jinmingchi. Of course, this kind of parachute cannot be put away, and can only be assisted by a few people to support the parachute to prevent the parachute from opening.

This drill only failed a few times at the beginning, all because the height of the jump was insufficient, and before the parachute could work, Shi Yong fell into the water.

However, after transferring a nest car, the platform that is more than eight feet high has never failed.

After seeing that Shi Yong jumped many times without accident, several of the personal soldiers who assisted Shi Yong couldn't stand the temptation, jumped a few times, and looked underground from the air, but no one had an accident.

But today, when he showed his face, Shi Yong, who was the first to eat crabs, came.

In the stunned eyes of everyone, the parachute tied to Shi Yong's body stretched out under the resistance of the air, like a mushroom buckled on the top of Shi Yong's head, although it was still falling, but the speed of descent was much slower, and it floated down slowly.

There was no sound, no noise.

"Bang"

In the stunned eyes of everyone, Shi Yong fell to the ground, hugged his fists and said: "Shi Yong handed over the order." ”

Several pro-soldiers also went up to help Shi Yong disarm the parachute.

"Buddha bless."

The first person to wake up was the abbot of Kaibao Temple, and he began to promote Buddhism.

Chao Yong was so angry that he almost vomited blood, he wasted a lot of his mind to promote physics, and there were still people who were not afraid of death who dared to come and rob his business.

"You go to jump once, if you jump down and can be safe and sound, it is the blessing of the Buddha, I will not only believe in Buddhism from now on, but also let the imperial court make Buddhism the state religion."

When the abbot of Kaibao Temple heard this, he immediately kept silent, although Chao Yongkai's conditions made it difficult for him to refuse, but he also knew that jumping from such a high place must be dead or alive.

Although he believes in Buddhism, he is reluctant to sacrifice his life for the Buddha, otherwise he would have desperately blocked Shi Yong and others from entering the tower.

"What's going on?"

"It must be that cloth."

"Yes, it could only be that cloth."

Only then did the surrounding people come to their senses and began to discuss.

Chao Yong smiled: "This is an application of physics, you will know the reason after learning physics." Okay, today's experiment is over, let's all disperse. By the way, don't try skydiving lightly, if you don't prepare well, you are likely to have an accident. ”

After speaking, Chao Yong walked out with his own soldiers.

Everywhere they passed, the people gave way one after another, and many people knelt on the ground and continued to worship, which was much more than the people who knelt down because the presiding officer of Kaibao Temple said that they were disrespectful to the Buddha.

They never thought that someone could jump from a height of nearly twenty feet and be unharmed. Although the prince said that it was a science, everyone still thought that it was more like a miracle, and it was the prince who created this miracle.

Until the prince went out, there were still many people looking at the top of the iron tower blankly, as if there were immortals on it.

Chao Yong also knew from the reaction of everyone that the first two of the three experiments he did were just surprising and overturned many people's ideas that were taken for granted. But it wasn't very shocking, only the last one shook everyone.

Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Wu, who didn't know in advance, followed Chao Yong stupidly, and they couldn't speak for a long time. (To be continued......)
