Chapter 24: The Ten Heavenly Thoughts (3)
"Good question, it seems that Qiu Xu has really learned how to question!" Lin Feng smiled at Qiu Xu and boasted.
Lin Feng's words suddenly relaxed the atmosphere at the scene.
"I also thought about this question for a long time before I figured it out. I have the idea that when the earth revolves around the sun, it does not face the sun in a serious way, but rotates diagonally, and the path of its revolution is not a perfect circle, so that different places will receive different angles and distances from the sun at different times. Lin Feng smiled and tried to describe it in simple language, "Let's think about it, does it feel like the sun is right above us in summer, and in winter, does it feel like the sun is running south and away from us?" β
Hearing Lin Feng's question, many people couldn't help but nod. This is indeed true.
Lin Feng relaxed his tone and said loudly: "Suppose that this sun, earth, moon, and this universe are really as we imagined, let's take a look again, can we figure out a lot of natural phenomena?"
Because the sun is far away from us, and there is only an oblique ray, the winter will be very cold; Because the sun is near us, and it shines directly, the summer will be very hot;
Because the sun shines directly for a long time, the land and sea in the south will be hotter, and the air above will become hotter; And the north is the opposite, the air will get colder, so the north wind will feel cold when it blows, and the south wind will feel warm?
If you pour a scoop of cold water into a hot water pot, will a layer of fog rise? In the sky, when cold air and hot air meet, it is like a pair of enemies meeting each other, so I think this is the source of wind or rain, right?
If you think about it further, there is a lot of wind in spring and autumn, is it because the cold air in the north and the hot air in the south are constantly fighting, like two people in a tug-of-war?
Those who sail know that it is much easier to go with the wind and water, and those regular currents and sea breezes are because the hot sea water and the cold sea water are also fighting against the tug-of-war.
For these, you can go back and think about it, and it is estimated that you can figure out a lot of things.
Finally, if you think about it on this basis, if the Taibai Star, the Morning Star, and the Luminous Star are also a star revolving around the sun, will it explain the cycle of their appearance and the law of change? β
Venus was called Taibai in ancient China, Qiming appeared in the east in the morning, and Chang Gung in the west in the evening. Mars is called Yingfu in ancient China, and has always been regarded as a "murderous star", with the meaning of "Yingying Fire, Leaving Chaos", and there is a saying that "Yingfu is a crime, and the master is murderous".
At this point, Lin Feng has officially finished talking about his top ten imaginations, but his explanation has brought more questions.
Qiu Xu, Qin Yue, and many others all opened their mouths to shout, and Qiu Xu's voice was the sharpest: "If the earth keeps turning, why won't we be thrown out of it?" β
"Stop!" Lin Feng pressed down with both hands, raised his voice again, and said, "I said, all this is just my bold imagination, and many details still need to be verified by us one by one, and isn't this the original intention of our establishment of the Datang Academy of Sciences for research?"
As for Qiu Xu's question, I have a point of view, for example, no matter how fast we ride the carriage, as long as the carriage does not stop suddenly, we will not be thrown down, and we will always follow the carriage together. By analogy, on such a large earth, we are like a grain of dust on a carriage, and naturally we will not be thrown away by it!
I tell everyone! Remember, everything has to be imagined and verified carefully!
At the same time, I would like to tell you a word after that, you must have thought I was crazy after listening to my imagination, so I hope you will keep your mouth shut every day, and don't let outsiders think that you are also crazy!
Speaking of this, Lin Feng raised his hands and shouted out the human oath engraved on the gate of the Kennedy Space Center in the United States: "As long as we can dream, we can achieve it!" β
Lin Feng's most arrogant words echoed in the silence of the construction site for a long time, and the distraction and helplessness were slowly dispersed from the eyes of the people on the scene. However, they still didn't have the idea and strength to turn their bodies, because everything Lin Feng said today was too crazy, and it was definitely a stormy impact on their bodies and minds.
Lin Feng couldn't help but smile, I was afraid that there would be at least a lot of balls spinning around in many people's dreams tonight!
After the "open class" was over, Lin Feng began to "open a small stove" one-on-one.
The first one was naturally Li Yu, Lin Feng simply reported the matter of traveling west for a long time, and asked Li Yu to pay more attention to taking care of the people in the house, the supermarket, and the Datang Academy of Sciences.
Then Shi Xubai, Lin Feng did not hide the matter of the westward journey, asked Shi Xubai and Han Xizai to pay more attention to the movements in the court and take more care of their families, Shi Xubai was not surprised, and nodded his head.
Lin Feng took out a large stack of papers from his arms and handed the top one to Shi Xubai. These were rushed out of the valley at night, and what was handed to Shi Xubai were some of his thoughts on the construction, management, system, and assessment of the Academy of Sciences. Shi Xubai took it and looked at it carefully.
Then, Lin Feng invited Li Deming and Chen Chuyao, and also asked the two adults to worry more about the Academy of Sciences during this time, and handed them a few pieces of paper respectively.
Li Deming's main responsibilities were initially clarified to be in charge of the scientific research department, and Lin Feng put forward some basic ideas for meteorological research, seasonal research, astronomy and geography, etc. Chen Chuyao was temporarily in charge of the War Research Department, and Lin Feng made plans and steps for guns, binoculars, sand tables, explosives, etc., and Chen Chuyao took it in his hand like a treasure and hid aside to study it.
Subsequently, Lin Feng called Lu Jiang, Shu Ya, and Wu Qiao, and instructed Lu Jiang to collect and sort out all the information on land and water battles in all dynasties during this period of time; Shu Ya concentrated on collecting information on the foreign policies of previous dynasties; Wu Qiao had to collect the economic policies and effects of the previous dynasties, and study how to carry out currency wars with foreign countries.
After speaking, Lin Feng specially explained, these tasks are very heavy, the three of them should pay attention to finding like-minded people to work together, and at the same time, during the construction of the Academy of Sciences, they have to go back to the house every day after work, take care of everyone in the house, and the three of them bowed down and solemnly promised to agree.
After that, Lin Feng found Fang Tai, told him his ideas about the ondol greenhouse, and handed him a design drawing, and instructed him to start the construction experiment in the Academy of Sciences, and at the same time asked him to carefully select a few Fang family elites and a boat, ready to go west with him on grain, grass, and water, Fang Tai remembered them one by one, patted his chest and said that he would do it well!
Lin Feng then found Yan Ruofeng and explained the collection and processing of cotton; found Deng Jiayu and handed over his rough drawings of paragliders, hydrogen balloons, steam engines, and table clocks, and asked him to try to design them slowly. Deng Jiayu didn't say a word, only nodded wildly, and immediately hid behind a pile of green bricks to study the drawings.
After the last, Lin Feng asked people to call seven people who applied for the beneficiation master, and told them to go to Shi Xubai to pay a sum of money, and from now on, they will no longer participate in the construction of the construction site, whether they are together or acting alone, they must go all over the mountains around Jinling, and mark all possible veins and minerals. Of course, Lin Feng specifically pointed out that there are three kinds of materials: limestone, volcanic ash, and quartz sand, the first two of the three are important raw materials for making cement, and quartz sand is an important component for making glass.
Things were finally arranged, Lin Feng clapped his hands, stood up, looked at the already busy construction site, and then carefully looked at each of the selected members of the Academy of Sciences, staring at the seven big words of "science, questioning, and imagination" for a long time, looked up to the sky and let out a long roar, turned around and left.
"Many years later, when the Tang Academy of Sciences was in full swing and became a well-known holy place for invention and creation in the world, Lin Feng's ten imaginary questions compiled by Guo Xinxing and Wu Qiao respectively flowed to the outside one after another, and many of these seemingly crazy imaginations have been confirmed and created at this time, and the world is full of emotion that Lin Feng is really worthy of being the world's music stars, and his ten great imaginations are known as the 'Ten Heavenly Thoughts', which are on par with Qu Yuan's "Tianwen" and have become a legendary story that people all over the world talk about." ββExcerpt from "The Book of the Southern Tang Dynasty?
