Hongyi involuntarily ran 108,000 miles in his mind, and at this time he had to return to his original position - the Qing Dynasty in the middle of the seventeenth century! China in the twelfth year of Shunzhi and 1655! It is precisely in this era that China, which was originally ahead of the world in scientific thought and science and technology, is about to be surpassed by the West because of the backwardness of scientific theory and scientific consciousness! This era is so special!

Regarding the current situation that the Chinese people of the Shunzhi Dynasty have no scientific theoretical literacy and scientific consciousness and thinking, Hongyi is actually anxious in his heart. In the 5,000-year-old civilization of China, in fact, the research and development and exploration of technology has been moving forward on its own routine, but it is a pity that it has never formed a scientific consciousness of digging into the root and tracing the source. That is to say, we only know the "how" of the road, but we do not know the "why" of the road; In other words, we are only satisfied with application and do not pay attention to theory, so we lack a fundamental driving force - innovation!

The vitality of science lies precisely in innovation. Scientific innovation promotes the progress and development of science. Throughout the history of the development of science in the world, every major scientific innovation in China and abroad has led to the reconstruction of the system and structure of scientific theories, and scientific thought and scientific consciousness have advanced by leaps and bounds, making science develop rapidly and unprecedentedly. Science has been transformed into a powerful material force that has changed the face of the world, promoting the transformation and progress of the economy and even the whole society.

Of course, the sense of innovation is closely related to cultural roots. Thinking of culture, Hongyi didn't know whether to sigh or be complacent.

Because culture has a strong national character, different nationalities must have different cultures. There is a book called "Science is a Cultural Process", which is very unique. It's also incisive. This is because some scholars have long asserted that "as a cultural phenomenon, science, like other cultural phenomena, also shows a strong national character." In the final analysis, the development of Western science is actually a process of scientific innovation. It is manifested in the fact that scientists have a strong sense of innovation and innovative spirit, and in Western countries, they have a good atmosphere for innovation, and these are closely related to culture.

Hongyi once devoted himself to reading the famous book "The Origin of Western Science" and benefited a lot. But after crossing over, Hongyi's deepest feeling is that in China, which firmly believes in the "unity of heaven and man", everything revolves around "governing people" and "governing people". The relevance of "human society" is much higher than that of other things. The exploration of the laws governing the natural world is also for the smooth implementation of man's rule. With this starting point, the emergence of all applied techniques is quite utilitarian - to serve the superiors, even if it is to benefit the working people, the starting point is to improve the ability to donate food and pay taxes.

If you want to vigorously develop the technology and craftsmanship in imperial China. Especially scientific theories. This basic law must be followed. Imagine: a big-handed "pig's foot" who came through abruptly chose a certain aspect to engage in scientific experiments. Instilling in everyone the scientific consciousness of the future generations, and whimsically starting from basic scientific theories, telling people what is matter and what is speed...... But it could not bring any practical benefits to the imperial court and the various government offices. And who among those bureaucrats will "catch a cold"?

Even if some people who are keen on novelties appear to help the pig's feet, under the literati bureaucracy, if they do not become officials, they will not occupy any political resources, and the popularization of science will inevitably be weak.

Therefore, Hongyi did not rush to popularize "science" with a golden finger, and did not even have the luxury of "technical skills", but under the guidance of the utilitarian viewpoint, he used Mulan to stimulate the people in power and let them know the power of the Dao Star Fort, siege artillery and flintlock pistol. It is enough to know that those in power are happy to see actual interests and do not care about the source of these vested interests, which just leaves plenty of room for Hongyi.

Starting from firearms, which is the culmination of applied techniques and natural science theories, it takes a generation to cultivate "a group" of talents who are willing to explore science.

If there is no foundation, even if you cross over and plant a towering tree, once the traveler leaves, the tree may be used as useless "firewood". Plant a seedling, cultivate a group of "gardeners" who know the future role of this seedling, and let them see the growth of the seedling day by day, so that their hearts are full of expectation and firmness, even if the pig's feet are closed, the seeds and connections are left, so that the natural and spontaneous scientific consciousness comes naturally, which is the foundation of eternity!

Of course, this set of ideas was not achieved overnight, yesterday Hongyi and Tang Ruowang talked about "standardized production", but they were vetoed by the old foreigner. In addition to being disappointed, Hongyi really felt that the most lacking thing in the hot land of China in natural science is natural consciousness and exploration spirit. And the solution of this problem, without the efforts of several generations, will not even see a "dawn", let alone bear "fruits"!

Du Duhu and Zhu Changzuo are a microcosm of the "young and middle-aged officials" of the current Shunzhi Dynasty, if they can have even a little respect and respect for "science", over time, they will be beneficial to Hongyi's grand ambitions.

But before that, how do you phrase the word "science"? This is a problem. Because "science" in ancient China was a special noun, since the Tang Dynasty, it actually refers to "the study of the imperial examination", and for the "science" that later generations thought of, for a long time, it was referred to by words such as "learning", "physics", and "mathematics". This is because in China, all knowledge is collectively referred to as "learning", and the study of the principles of nature is called "physics", while the subject of "mathematics" is independent of "physics".

By the Ming Dynasty, it seemed that science could be called "Gezhi", that is, "Gewu Zhizhi", to denote the knowledge obtained from the study of natural things. Many scientific books published before the Sino-Japanese War were mostly titled "Gezhi" or "Gewu". However, this "style" does not seem to encompass the "four-in-one science" that Hongyi values the most—scientific thought, scientific theory, scientific technology, and scientific consciousness.

Alas, what a headache! Fortunately, there was no need to "scientifically express science" for a while, so I had to put it back. In front of him, Hongyi finally saw a glimmer of "dawn" from Du Duhu's tone!

"Lord Du, this is not the first time you have heard of this Galileo. I heard that this person was mentioned in the almanac of the Ming Dynasty, and it was translated as Galilea at that time. Hongyi consciously gave Du Duhu a big ladder and a smooth step. According to the general official style, Du Duhu would have a row of foreheads, make a sudden realization, and shout "I see!" ”

But Hongyi forgot that Du Duhu is a "direct minister"! After hearing this, after a little thought, they said:

"Please don't blame Lord Youzongzheng, Xia Guan was originally not proficient in the calendar, whether it was Galileo or Galilea you said, I heard it for the first time today."

"Uh-" Hongyi's words that were ready to be said suddenly stuck in his throat!

"However," fortunately, there was no cold scene behind Du Duhu, "this Mr. Galileo is really a hero!" I was able to get a glimpse of the Moon Palace earlier than my country! Shame, shame! ”

"Ha Luha, Lord Du is too modest. The bright moon hangs high, where is not the roundest hometown? The people of Taixi must have wanted to find out since ancient times. What I care more about is why I, a Chinese person, have always looked at the starry sky from afar for 5,000 years, just inviting wine to the moon, but have never had the idea of taking a closer look at the face of the Moon Palace? But the people in the West have taken the lead! ”

Hongyi comforted him for a moment, and then frowned, as if he was very sorry.

"Yes, when the lord said this, the lower officials are also quite regretful!" Du Duhu nodded yes, and Zhu Changzuo on the side was also affected and frowned.

"It just so happens that Yuri Xiao Riding School is the most knowledgeable among the Rakshasas, why don't you talk about it?" Hongyi suddenly realized and kicked the ball to Yuri next to him. No matter how Yuri answers, the following successor Hongyi has already thought about it.

"Master, how dare a slave accept a word of praise from you for being knowledgeable? However, the fact that this Galileo was able to achieve this is inseparable from Europa's universal spirit of exploration. Hongyi really didn't expect that Yuri's first sentence suddenly spoke to his heart! It can be seen that the cognitive attitude towards science is indeed far from the East and the West!

"Oh? Elaborate! Hongyi nodded in satisfaction.

"Huh! The superficial theory of the slave, please master Haihan! Yuri, who was the first to have a rough grasp of Manchu among his companions, gave a bow in a very standardized manner, and began a discourse that made Hongyi breathtaking, and it was really wise to leave these Rakshasas today!

Because of this discussion, even Zeng Hongyi in the 21st century has never thought about it so systematically!

"A limerick poem? Hidden Head

Reading literature and reading history is only a long breath

I was saying that there was an opportunity back then

The layout is a long-cherished wish

It's hard to come and go

Get up and spend a hundred years

Point out the suffering and diseases of the world

The edge of the town was razed to the sea

Wen'an Wuding happy teardrops (to be continued......)
