527 is a cocoon of Chen Tao

At that time, the astronomical community in Europe had already confirmed that the earth was round, and many people had questioned the geocentric theory. To read the latest chapters, please lock in to the Aichan Novel Network biquge.info but because of the ideological imprisonment of the church, the Copernican heliocentric theory cannot be publicly promoted. But in the eyes of many experts in astronomy, there is no doubt that heliocentrism is correct—because many astronomical observations can confirm this, or rather, it is more favorable to heliocentrism.

But Chen Tao was also wrong to casually say that Copernicus was wrong, which really surprised John Tang - the Jesuits were using the Danish scholar Tycho's model system of the universe, which was a system between geocentrism and heliocentrism, which held that every star in the world moves around the sun, and the sun moves around the earth.

In fact, anyone with a little logical concept can see the ridiculousness of this theory, but this theory allowed the astronomers of the time to explain a number of astronomical phenomena reasonably, and to deduce a more accurate calendar accordingly - in the first half of the sentence; At the same time, you can avoid persecution from the church—rely on the second half of the sentence. Arguably a brilliant way to strike a balance between science and theocracy – who said Europeans wouldn't play politics?

Of course, Chen Tao didn't understand these political factors, and he didn't bother to understand them, he talked about these things in front of John Tang at that time, in fact, just to show off in front of the beauties - he talked about what the sun is not the center of the universe, but just a small star at the edge of the galaxy and other astronomical concepts of later generations, although it shocked John Tang's big Western nose for a moment, but more to see the beauty Chen Yue'er next to him opened her cherry mouth wide, revealing a look of worship.

He bragged casually here, and he forgot about it after he bragged, Chen Yue'er casually said which side of the flowers was more beautiful, and he might remember it better. But John Tang did not forget that the Germans were famous for their love of drilling, and after going back, they studied it carefully, and the more they studied, the more they felt that it made sense...... Scientific theories are tools used to verify natural phenomena, and the use of the cosmic model proposed by Chen Tao to explain various astronomical phenomena is obviously more reasonable than geocentric or heliocentric theory. The Jesuits had come all the way to China to preach, but they were by no means unrelenting. John Tang and others now wear Confucian robes and walk around every day, and they can also try to integrate traditional Chinese cultural concepts into them when spreading Catholic teachings, and they are far from being able to accept new concepts from the outside world compared to those diehards in Rome itself.

After that, he took this theory to ask Xu Guangqi, thinking that Mr. Xu, who is also Chinese, could give him some hints in this regard, but Xu Guangqi patted his thigh and shouted "Late!" after researching and verifying this new theory! "—Why is it late? Xu Guangqi's greatest pride in his life is geometry and astronomical calendars, and he is now working with John Tang to compile a new almanac for the Ming Dynasty, and they are almost completed.

But this new almanac is based on the Tycho system introduced by John Tong, which means that it is fundamentally wrong! Xu Guangqi found that according to Tycho's theory, some of the inferred contents did not match the actual observations, but he only thought that his calculations were not rigorous enough.

Once a scholar like Xu Guangqi knows that he has taken the wrong path, he will certainly not continue to make mistakes, and he will inevitably start over again on the basis of correct theories. But the word "start over" is a simple matter? Not to mention anything else, the first half of the new almanac has been presented to the Son of Heaven to read, and it is considered to be appointed, but now it is going to be completely overthrown, and with the current fierce party struggle between the DPRK and China, a big hat of "bullying the king" is pressed down, who can stand it?

However, Xu Guangqi doesn't care about these at all, although he has the title of the book of the Ming Dynasty Rite Department, and he is also a master of Donglin and a famous residence in the imperial court, but his essence is still a scientist. If something is wrong, it is wrong, and if there is a mistake, it must be corrected, and as for the political consequences brought about by this, not much consideration is given to it.

The old man quickly made up his mind to revise the new calendar, which had already been compiled for the most part, but before he could do so, he would definitely study this new theory thoroughly. Last time, Chen Tao was just trying to show off in front of beauties, and he picked up some fresh and interesting content and said, but he didn't elaborate on the whole set of theories very clearly. So Xu Guangqi has always wanted to find this short-haired guy again to talk to, and ask some confusion about the new theory.

It happened that the cabinet was discussing the "work" arrangement for Chen Tao at that time, and he was only a young man in his twenties, and he was not from a regular background, so his position did not need to be discussed in the cabinet at all. It's just that behind Chen Tao is the entire Qiong Navy, those short-haired people have always acted unreasonably, and when they are good to talk, the entire state capital can be given to the imperial court for nothing, and they can do this kind of thing when they can't talk and bombard Guangzhou City...... Although he was recruited and nominally a minister of the Ming Dynasty, a political veteran like Qian Qianyi had already seen that those short-haired wariness of the imperial court had never let go - everyone who was recruited was seeking officials and money, and it was best to come to the prosperous place of the capital to enjoy a peaceful life. But the people of the Qiong Navy, except for a few who are not very willing to climb the land of Daming, the others don't even bother to ask for the official hat given by Daming.

Therefore, the Ming Cabinet really didn't dare to take Chen Tao's arrangement lightly, and it can be regarded as the meaning of a thousand gold city horse bones. It's just that it's hard to think about what position to arrange for this person - it's obviously too important to give, and if this young man stabs a Lou Zi out, it will be to send cannonballs to the hostile faction. But if you give an insignificant and afraid that kid will feel embarrassed, and then use his thousand-mile sound transmission technique to complain to Hainan Laowo, maybe it will lead to some new incidents - since the last time the Qiong Navy sent supplies to Chen Tao with great fanfare, the Ming Dynasty officials knew that Qionghai Shorthair really valued the group of people they sent outside. In order to change the taste of his family, he did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles by sea and land, so he sent several large truckloads of vegetables and fruits to Beijing...... What is luxury? This is called luxury!

Although it was the wealthy families in the capital who finally enjoyed the blessings, those who knew the inside story would sigh at the close connection between the short hairs, and naturally they had to be more careful about Chen Tao's arrangements...... This can be regarded as one of the results of that vegetable incident.

Just when the cabinet officials were having a headache, Scholar Xu, who had never been involved in such incidents, suddenly spoke, naming the young man to serve in Qin Tianjian, and Qian Qianyi was very happy now. Qin Tianjian's position above the court is no less than that of the Yushitai Hanlin Academy, but he usually only cares about the astronomical calendar, which can be said to be a typical example of having a false name and no real power. It's just that this part is completely up to Old Man Xu, and he is willing to take the initiative to ask people over, which is a great favor for himself.

And Chen Tao became an official of the Great Ming Qin Heavenly Prison in a daze, and after hearing that he was able to get this position entirely because of Mr. Xu's speech, he inevitably wanted to visit and thank him. As a result, as soon as he arrived at Xu's house, he was pulled by Xu Guangqi to explain astronomical problems, which was not something that could be passed by bragging nonsense in front of a little girl, in front of a real scholar like Xu Guangqi, every word Chen Tao said, every detail that was inadvertently revealed, would cause the old man to interrogate in great detail. It's also thanks to Chen Tao that he has always been a good boy when he was a child, and he studied geography well in junior high school. Later generations of human beings have been able to enter the universe, and with the help of various optical and electronic telescopic technologies, the understanding of the entire solar system and its related stars has been very perfect, so Chen Tao can still rely on what he learned in geography class in junior high school.

In later generations, the content of a mere junior high school geography class sounded deafening to Xu Guangqi, a great Confucian in the Ming Dynasty at this time, almost completely subverting his lifelong understanding and cognition of the world. If you change to someone else, you may not change your course because of the words of a hairy young man, and give up the belief that you have insisted on all your life - for example, the great Danish scientist Tycho, in his later years, his student Kepler's telescope was actually able to make more accurate observations of the stars of the universe, and Tycho himself was not unaware of the absurdity and error of the geocentric theory, but he always refused to accept any concept of geokinetic theory, and always believed that the earth was the center of the universe and an eternal and immovable world. Scientists are also very stubborn once they fall into idealism. Tycho's place in the history of science is therefore not high, far inferior to that of his student Kepler.

However, Xu Guangqi was different, Chinese scholars were not bound by religious ideas like Western scholars, and Xu Guangqi himself did not hesitate to join Catholicism with his family in order to learn the more advanced Western scientific and technological knowledge at that time. And many of the doubts and confusions he had accumulated over the past few decades of observing celestial phenomena were almost easily solved after deducing from Chen Tao's theory, which was one of the main reasons why he immediately decided to abandon the "Chongzhen Almanac", which had already been compiled for the most part, and instead recompile it with a new theory.

Under the repeated questioning of such a master, Chen Tao quickly couldn't support it, and then took advantage of Old Man Xu's eyes to close his eyes and ponder for a question...... Since then, I have never dared to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites. He is an idle official, and he usually doesn't have to go to work. Thinking about it, with the status of Xu Daxue, he will not kill himself to arrest him.

Unexpectedly, a ceremonial invitation note during this move made Old Man Xu find an excuse to chase him in person, and Chen Tao, who was blocked in his door, could only admit that he was unlucky, and honestly continued to be a good child, answering all kinds of questions from Old Man Xu.

…… At this moment, on their table, everything was already moved aside, and a model of the entire solar system was laid out with cups and plates, under the remote command of Xu Guangqi, Chen Tao, Tang Ruowang, and the old servants of the Xu family took turns to rotate the cups and plates, deducing the cause and date of the solar and lunar eclipse on the spot, and making a lot of noise in the house......
