Chapter 59: Theoretical Science

The young man was humble, but Li Mao suddenly froze, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and his eyes were full of shock when he looked at Xie Xiuqi.

Gradually, his expression slowly darkened.

After a long time, I saw him sigh and say: "Life is scientific everywhere...... His Royal Highness the Ancestral King...... I don't want to be hundreds of years, but there is no learning without ...... But there is a hairy boy who really understands your sentence...... He changed dramatically that night, and he was blessed by heaven. Are you dissatisfied with the incompetence of our descendants, and you are stumbling in the knowledge you have left behind, and you have only made a small inch......"

The old man couldn't stop muttering, his expression was extremely gloomy.

Xie Xiuqi was taken aback.

Combined with my own memory, plus the gradual understanding of the past ten days, plus today's conversation. Xie Xiuqi also found that although the science of this era seems to have a complete theoretical foundation system, the breadth can be said to be complete and sound. But the depth is at most close to the level of junior high school in elementary school.

Physics is still at the macroscopic level, and chemistry has not entered the molecular stage because physics has not entered the molecular stage, and there is no concept of molecular molecular formula chemical reaction equation.

Nima, can't you be overdoing it...... It's not too much, and my brother can't explain it, it's still as popular as possible, and it's explained if you can cover it up, and skip it if you can skip it...... And you're always comparing eggs with traversers, we were born in the era of the big explosion of knowledge hundreds of years later, and people know these things.

Xie Xiuqi thought about it, and suddenly slammed it--no-no...... King Yongzu, a modern person, taught a group of elementary school students in ancient times?

I saw him groaning for a while, but he also looked at Li Mao, who was sighing with a smile on his face, and took the initiative to ask, "Boss...... This science...... His Royal Highness the Ancestor never had that back then...... Deeper? ”

Li Mao was also flustered, and gradually, he was full of remembrance: "Your Highness started from scratch, rebuilt the empire, and developed the empire, and set up rules for future generations." Science was a trail for his old man. Moreover, His Royal Highness once said that science is boundless, and it is difficult to make a difference by relying on him alone, and it is even more likely to lead future generations astray. ”

He muttered: "Yes, although His Highness has spent a lot of energy to put forward the foundations of physics, chemistry and other disciplines, the definition of terms, and summarize them into a system. But after that, he let it go, and let future generations follow the path he pointed out, but he no longer spent his efforts on scientific theories, and at most occasionally invented them. To this day, the principles of some of His Highness's inventions have been listed as the top ten unsolved mysteries of the ancestors. ”

Then, he sighed faintly: "Who knows, His Royal Highness has high hopes for our descendants, but we are ......"

Li Mao didn't say any more, his face was gloomy again.

Xie Xiuqi was stunned.

Perhaps the invention of science and technology and the discovery and utilization of scientific phenomena can be ahead of the times, but scientific theories cannot be uprooted and promoted. If you put forward a little scientific theory with a fault, it is impossible for others to understand it.

To take the simplest example, to fully explain the combustion mechanism of wood from a scientific theory, it is enough to involve molecular physics (how the atoms of the two elements gain/lose electrons during combustion, so that the atoms combine in pairs to form new molecules and obtain new chemical substances), organic chemistry (wood contains C, H and other elements that are easy to combine with O), inorganic chemistry (the chemical equation of combustion) and so on.

However, it is important to know that in ancient times, humans began to use wood for fire......

Therefore, all in all, the scientific theories of this era are not much different from the progress of scientific theories in the West at this time in the ancient history in my memory. King Yongzu was limited to the times back then, and what he brought was only the most basic foundation of various disciplines.

What he devoted his life to science was only to make science deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, officially become a pole of imperial scholarship, and revise and plan the right direction for the development of Chinese civilization in advance.

And the king of Yongzu is ...... He is also a far-sighted person.

On the one hand, a person's energy is limited, and he shoulders such a large empire, and it is impossible for him to spend a lot of energy on establishing a deeper scientific theory system - even if it is copied from memory, you should memorize all the junior high school chemistry and read it? Are you writing a junior high school chemistry textbook on your own? In modern times, it would take more than a dozen senior scholars several years to do so.

Just like a small fire, or a small centrifuge just explained, so many things can be involved, which is simply across several branches of deep disciplines in physical chemistry. So, where does he have the time, energy, and ability to do this? When he's Baidu, his brain is a hard drive database, huh?

On the other hand, and more importantly, it is important to know that it is precisely because theoretical science is not more important than applied science, but it is a large and sophisticated academic system, and the more in-depth it is, the more complicated it becomes. Therefore, the chain of civilization needs to start from scratch, accumulate little by little, and interlock with each other, so that it can be healthy and have the ability of sustainable development.

This is a barrel, and whether it can be developed to a deeper level depends not on the longest plank, but on the shortest - but how many planks of civilization?

He's going to die after all, and he's definitely going to have a lot of planks that he didn't notice. However, he was worried that future generations would only rely on him to eat his old books, and he had no ability to grow, and he was even more encouraged by his pulling seedlings, so that the wooden barrel of civilization developed into a deformity from the beginning.

Therefore, he prefers to put forward only some superficial theories, and only point out the way, so that future generations can form their own scientific exploration path based on these theories. It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. It can also be described as well-intentioned.

What's more, he was probably asked like this back then, so he didn't dare to run out first without teaching people to go, right? Even the centrifuge that my brother thought should be explained very well, was almost asked to cry just now, okay?

If you are asked to propose science, don't talk about it, you probably had such a good time back then--let you suffer by yourself!

When he got to the back, Xie Xiuqi thought so maliciously.

However, it is no wonder that I feel that the theoretical science of this era is like a small seedling, but its system seems to be very complete, harmonious and natural, and it does not seem to be raised by people at all.

Xie Xiuqi thought so, but when he saw Li Mao on the other side, his expression was even more gloomy, and he couldn't bear it.

I saw him think about it, but he looked at Li Mao and whispered, "The old man is too himself. That bastard...... ...... of the Ancestors What, wisdom is better than heaven and man, and he actually proposed a scientific basic system with the strength of one person, how can we and other descendants be able to hope for it? ”

"Boss, the initial development of scientific theories is indeed very slow, and everything is difficult at the beginning, and this is not yet the first industrial revolution...... Well, the in-depth study of this scientific theoretical system is a process of slow and comprehensive accumulation, once breaking through and exploding, then accumulating, and then exploding. Only when it accumulates to a certain critical point will there be a blowout. ”

Xie Xiuqi searched his mind and comforted: "His Royal Highness the Ancestor brought the foundation of science back then, but we waited for future generations, but it was only slowly accumulated between the foundation and the first outbreak - without the accumulation of our peers, there would be no explosion of future generations." How can you feel that your achievements are small and that you are vain? ”

He thought about it, added some thoughts of his own to the barrel theory, and said it again.

As soon as the words fell, Li Mao already high-fived again: "Well said! The amount of water a barrel can hold depends on the shortest plank. The only thing I'm trying to do now is to lengthen those planks. Although I don't know which piece is the shortest, as long as we work hard, we will always add to the shortest piece in the end, so that science will reach the critical point of evolution and begin to leap forward -- how can there be an explosion of posterity in the future without the accumulation of self? ”

He repeated urgently, his eyes were already bright, and there was no longer a look of depression.

Li Mao's eyes lit up, and Lu Zihe, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between the two, was already gradually dumbfounded.

is very smart, and it's just a matter of setting up that trick, but today it can be said that science can be said to be praised by Mr. Li. Later, he comforted Mr. Li more intimately, and said that the law of scientific development is full of insightful insights, which is extremely incisive?

This...... Is it really my Qi'er?

It's just that you have changed dramatically overnight, it's just that you're very smart, it's just that you know etiquette and reason, and you're even more familiar with the world -- but even science and reason seem to be a little self-taught?

Lu Zihe thought silently, his eyes were already full of amazement, but they turned into a trace of incomparable pride.

Li Mao also turned to Lu Zihe, who was gradually smiling proudly.

"Lord Lu, when I heard that Ling Lang used a centrifuge to break the oil stains in the fire, the old man didn't say anything, but he was suspicious in his heart, but now, I really believe it - Ling Lang Guo has changed greatly overnight after he died of drunkenness, and he was blessed by God, which is really gratifying."

Li Mao exclaimed.

Lu Zihe suddenly smiled and made humble remarks.

The two of them resigned so boastfully, which made Xie Xiuqi on the side a little proud for a while, quite proud of his ability to cover himself with a good hand, and pretending to be good at suppressing others.

Just as he was happy, Li Mao seemed to think of something, but he turned to Xie Xiuqi again, and pulled Xie Xiuqi with great interest to continue to discuss science.

Xie Xiuqi was dumbfounded.

His heart was already full of grief - brother, is this digging a hole for himself? How good is it to let this old man complain on the side, and now it's okay, it's here again?

Damn, what are you pretending to be......

No do no'die, why'i'tm and try? If you don't die, you won't die, but you just die again. My generation was originally a traverser, but I wanted to die, and I raised my head and cried out of the door, just because I was still dying today......

While carefully dealing with the various topics of the boss, he thought about every word, and for a while, he only felt miserable.
