"The Academy of Science, Weichen suggested the establishment of the Department of Astronomy, the Department of Geography, the Department of Mathematics, and the Department of Physics." Lin Feng continued to irresponsibly throw out new ideas and new terms. As expected, Li Jing and Li Jingsui's eyes widened again.

"Suppose we are now on the battlefield against the enemy, if we can predict what the weather will be tomorrow in advance. If tomorrow is a tailwind and an eye-catching day, then we may be able to carry out the good show of burning Bowangpo; If there is rain, we can use the cover of the rain to carry out a sneak attack, and the result of the battle will inevitably be twice the result with half the effort. This is the main reason for the establishment of the Astronomical Division, of course, if we can understand astronomy, we will also benefit greatly from shipping, agriculture and planting! Lin Feng explained.

Li Jing and Li Jingsui suddenly realized.

In addition, the Astronomy Division also has a main purpose, Wechen wants to invent an instrument that accurately calculates time, and controls time more accurately. In Weichen's view, if you control time, you actually control everything!

For example, on the battlefield, you must master the rhythm of attack and defense, and the rhythm depends mainly on controlling the time. With such a device, it is natural that we can strengthen coordination on the battlefield and control the progress of the battlefield! ”

Lin Feng has long been not interested in the time timekeeping method of this era, an hour is two hours, and the minimum can only be accurate to a quarter of an hour, which is too unfine, and he has long wanted to work hard to invent the grandfather clock, and the time is accurate to the minute, or even to the second.

Li Jing and Li Jingsui stopped talking, just staring at Lin Feng and continuing.

"Once you have mastered the sky, you have to find a way to master the geography! Therefore, Wechen suggested the establishment of a geography department. For example, when an army marches and fights, it is not known where it is and what it looks like, and all combat plans are just talking on paper, that is, walking at night with your eyes closed!

The word geography is still a word borrowed by Wechen. Wechen once flipped through it, as early as in the Book of Changes? There is a record of "looking up at astronomy and looking down at geography", and Han Wang Chong once said: "The sky has the sun, moon and stars, and the earth has mountains, rivers and mausoleums, so it is said." The establishment of the Department of Geography is to set standards, scientific, and unified standards, so that we know all kinds of natural phenomena and human phenomena in the geographical environment of all parts of the world, and from then on, we walk the world, as if we walk in the day, and there is no secret in front of us! Lin Feng said loudly.

Li Jingsui nodded again and again, but then shook his head again, this thing is easier said than done!

Lin Feng knew this well, and said, "King Qi is afraid that this matter is complicated and complicated, but this matter is very important, it must be much better to start earlier than later!" Rest assured, Wechen has a way to make this easier. For example, if we combine this with enemy reconnaissance and use the merchants and monks who walk the world, we will unwittingly leave other countries behind! ”

Lin Feng's words obviously comforted the Li brothers, and the two of them stretched their brows and continued to look up at Lin Feng.

As for mathematics, that is, number, it has been one of the six arts since ancient times, and mathematical works such as "Zhou Ji Sutra" and "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" have greatly promoted the development of mathematics in all dynasties. But Wechen believes that the role of mathematics has been underestimated.

Mathematicians, everything in this world, everything in life, everything in governance, quantity, structure, change and even space, can actually be analyzed by mathematics! Taking marching and fighting as an example, the whole process of marching, baggage, camping, and confrontation can be deconstructed and expressed by mathematics. The same is true for a county official to govern a county, such as taxation, resource utilization, and support for people's livelihood. ”

Bang, Lin Feng threw out a lot of nouns, making the two big guys look at each other, I don't understand!

In fact, Lin Feng was just talking about the surface, and there were still many things in it that he didn't dare to mention. Mathematics, what are the most basic elements? Logic and Intuition, Analysis and Reasoning, Commonality and Individuality! And these have been the biggest deficiencies in traditional Chinese society since ancient times.

For example, why did China, which had the four great inventions of ancient times, be left far behind by the world's civilization in later generations, and became a fat sheep that was wantonly bullied and ravaged by others? In particular, which of the more than 100 inventions and creations that have influenced modern civilization was invented by Chinese? This is because traditional Chinese culture, or Chinese civilization, often sounds grand and magnificent, but it lacks the most important chapter: logic.

For more than 2,000 years, Chinese thought has basically been monopolized by Confucianism, Taoism, and Legalism, which is nothing more than to see who has the upper hand in which period. These three, especially Confucianism, which is the most mainstream, are seriously lacking in logic. However, these three families have one thing in common: foolishness. This is the key to the persistence of the three schools of thought in the long history of China.

In particular, Confucianism, which has been repeatedly revised and usurped in history, has reached its worst, and all the knowledge of Confucianism is to be a human being, to become a genuine slave's learning, and to become a complete fool's learning. It is too easy to prove this, as long as you look through the family histories of those feudal monarchs who ascended the throne of God, of course, referring to the real family history, not the beautified family history, can you find the true believers of the so-called Confucian loyalty, filial piety, moderation, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith?

If we talk about analysis and reasoning, it is easier to understand, basically we can only see them playing a role in the literary prison and cultural construction, otherwise, there would not be only one Di Renjie in history who judged the case like a god! As for commonality and individuality, how many of the characters with personality in Chinese history have died well?

Lin Feng didn't pause, and then talked about the Physics Division: "The Book of Rites? The University once wrote: 'Those who want to be sincere in their intentions must first know them; Enlightenment is in Gewu; The character is then known, and then the sincerity is known. That is, to 'deduce the principles and laws of things and summarize them into rational knowledge'. Wechen refers to the principle of things, which is reduced to physics. ”

Actually, there are not many physical things in Chinese history! Because everybody's going to think about people! Far away, only the "Book of Ink" has a few pieces of physics knowledge from Liao Liao, until Shen Kuo in the Song Dynasty talked about a few small things such as artificial magnetization in "Mengxi Pen Talk", and then, just like a eunuch, there is no more below! What is the physics that Lin Feng is referring to? The inner laws of things and the truth of things refer to the natural sciences that study the structure of matter, the interaction of matter, and the laws of motion.

However, Lin Feng immediately distorted the concept of physics: "Physicists, for example, how much furnace temperature is the most suitable in weapon building, and how much charcoal is the most robust, these details need to be summarized and summarized, and some rules of smelting weapons can be obtained, so that we can create high-quality weapons of consistent quality in the future!" ”

Lin Feng's distorted interpretation of this example immediately made the two bigwigs feel relieved.

In fact, Lin Feng still wanted to secretly set up a chemistry department in his heart, but when he thought of the terms hydrogen sulfide and carbon monoxide, he was afraid of frightening the two feudal era bigwigs in front of him! Besides, is it possible for you to ask people in this era who believe in Buddhism, Confucianism, Yin and Yang Five Elements, and Confuscation to believe that everything in the world is made up of tiny particles, that every person is made up of DNA, and that most of the body is water? Therefore, Lin Feng didn't mention this matter at all, and when the time came, as a branch of physics, he would secretly study it!
