Chapter 22: The Ten Heavenly Thoughts
After a while, Lin Feng raised his head and said loudly, "Now, let's talk about imagination!"
You must have read or understood that in the past, Qu Yuan wrote in "Chu Ci? One hundred and seventy-three questions are put forward in one breath, asking about the sky, the earth, nature, society, history, and life, which can be described as a strange work through the ages. Think about it, have we never run out of the scope of these 173 problems in the social development of all subsequent dynasties? ”
A sentence woke up the person in the dream, and many people at the scene closed their eyes and recalled it seriously.
"What is Tianwen? It's an unbridled, gorgeous imagination! Lin Feng said loudly, pointing to the sky, and then to the Tang Academy of Sciences at his feet, and then designated his hand on the word "imagination", and then said, "If there is no imagination, our era may still stay in the primitive state of slash-and-burn farming, our war may still stay in the trap of vehicle warfare, the ships we use are still small boats made of canoe, and our clothes are still in the era of kudzu and hemp.
In my opinion, imagination is more important than knowledge, because knowledge is limited, and imagination encapsulates everything in the world, drives progress, and is the source of the evolution of knowledge! ”
In his previous life, Lin Feng was particularly fond of collecting all kinds of aphorisms, and he casually said a famous quote from the great scientist Albert Einstein.
Speaking of this, Lin Feng stared at each of the selected candidates in front of him one by one, and in their eyes, he saw the indispensable confusion and doubts, as well as the hopes and expectations he wanted.
Lin Feng nodded slightly, and said loudly: "Here, I put forward ten bold imaginations, you guys try to listen to it, think about it in your heart!"
The first, since ancient times, weapons are held in the hand, must not leave the hand, until the predecessors invented the bow and arrow, trebuchet, the lethality can be extended, have you ever thought that if one day, we can invent a weapon, the small can be held in the hand, the large can be pulled by a few horses, imitating the principle of firecrackers two kicks, through the thrust will be large or small projectiles launched out of the lun, in hundreds of steps, or even miles of longer distance to kill and injure the opponent? ”
This was the first time Lin Feng had publicized the concept of guns to the outside world, and he immediately shocked the people in front of him. Ordinary readers were only shocked by this concept, but Chen Chuyao, the former military department, as well as Fang Tai, Lu Jiang and other people who were selected for the weapons department, all widened their eyes. Especially Fang Tai, he suddenly thought that if the Fang family's ships were equipped with such weapons, where would any pirates dare to approach and harass them?!
Lin Feng smiled slightly and continued to flicker: "The second, the farthest place as far as our eyes can reach, that is, the farthest place we can see. If there is an invention that can easily pull distant objects in front of you, can we anticipate the enemy first, one step faster? ”
Naturally, this refers to the function of the telescope, and it is also the first time that Lin Feng has mentioned it in public.
The first two imaginations involved war weapons, but Lin Feng stopped at the beginning, vaguely brought them through, and no longer extended the description of explosives, sand tables and other war weapons to prevent leaking secrets in advance.
"The third, more leaky, chiming clock and drum, everyone is very familiar with it, is it possible for us to invent a small timekeeping tool, which can be carried with us at any time, in the pocket, and the time can be accurately calculated, so that we can better control the time, so that the world around us is more accurate and clear?" Lin Feng then talked about the concept of clocks.
To tell the truth, the timekeeping method of twelve hours almost drove Lin Feng, who was very accustomed to the minute of seconds in the future, crazy, and every time it came to time, he had to repeatedly change the time name in his heart.
Deng Jiayu's eyes widened suddenly, he had such an idea for a long time, but he had never succeeded in making it, could it be that Lord Lin Fenglin had already had a design idea?
"Fourth, we are now building a road is so manpower-intensive, material-intensive, and so slow, if we can invent a kind of material paving that is easy to make, can be quickly solidified, and is very hard after condensation, so that the whole territory of Datang is all smooth and smooth, and is no longer afraid of wind and rain?" Then, Lin Feng put forward the concept of cement and asphalt, which is essentially very low for the current vehicle capacity!
Okay, the appetizers are finished, now it's time to start playing big!
Lin Feng cleaned his throat and said loudly: "Fifth, many people have already understood and seen the cotton that Yan Ruofeng offered, can you imagine that with that kind of white cotton, coupled with the textile machinery we invented, we can build a huge empire all over the world?" ”
Lin Feng didn't think that what he said was a lie, didn't the British in later generations rely on the invincible weapon of the steam engine to let the land of the whole world grow cotton for them, and then used the industrialized products represented by cotton cloth to sweep the whole world, so as to achieve the reputation of "the empire on which the sun never sets"?
Lin Feng's words are not only a test of these people's imagination, but also a test of these people's psychological endurance! These words made many people take a step back and look at Lin Feng with a crazy look. Is this Lord Lin crazy? Just a few cottons to dominate the world?
Lin Feng smiled suddenly, in the backlight, his face seemed to suddenly twitch in the eyes of many frightened people, and it actually looked a little hideous.
"Sixth, what kind of water can be drunk directly in life, and some water will have diarrhea when you drink it? Why is it that the same is a traumatic injury, some wounds will suppurate, and some will heal soon? The subtleties that we can't see, are there different things happening? Is it possible for us to invent a device that magnifies this world in front of us, so that we can discover the true mystery of 'one sand and one world of heaven and one flower' in the Buddhist scriptures? Lin Feng then put forward the concept of microscope and microscopic world.
In Lin Feng's view, there are four directions for inventors and creators: one is the greatest, the other is far, and the other is the fastest, and the most fundamental and basic direction is the subtlety. After all, it's just going around the periphery of invention and creation!
At this moment, many people's eyes and expressions were numb, and they just listened blankly. This Lord Lin's thinking is really unbridled and unpredictable!
Lin Feng pointed to his head and body, then pointed to the bodies of several people in front of him, and said loudly:
"Seventh, Hua Tuo proposed to treat Cao Cao's headache and proposed a craniotomy for him, have you heard the story? Have you ever thought about what if Hua Tuo's method is right? This begs the question: what is the inside of our body really like?
Let's hypothetize, if we can successfully understand the internal operating mechanism of our body, understand the relationship and operation principle of muscles, bones, blood, and internal organs, will we be more targeted and effective in the future? ”
"The body is skinned, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it, and the beginning of filial piety is also!" This is the Book of Filial Piety? The first key sentence in the "Opening Chapter", in the eyes of this crazy Lord Lin, do you still have to open people's intestines and study them?
Among all the stammering crowds, there was a young man standing in the back row whose eyes suddenly brightened, and he looked at Lin Feng with great enthusiasm.
His name is Yang Qianfang, and he was transferred by Lin Feng from the Imperial Medical Department. Of course, the people from the Imperial Doctor's Department wouldn't tell Lin Feng that they had wanted to kick out this troublesome boy for a long time.
