Chapter 508: Extrapolating an Asteroid
After saying more, the atmosphere became a little dull, and although Bu Jiazhuo was unhappy, he still whispered to Zhou Xuan in the back, forget it, don't make noise!
Syllable!
Zhou Xuan snapped the table, got up angrily, and sighed with a sigh, this child's stubborn temper has been committed again, what is more true!
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is not a single word in the book that slanders science, and not a word that constitutes plagiarism. In every country and region, scientists are an extremely respected profession, and I, Zhou Xuan, would like to express my gratitude for their efforts. Zhou Xuan said excitedly: "However, the astronomical knowledge I have learned is not made up out of thin air, but comes from the collective wisdom of a learned master and many of his friends, and it is also accumulated by generations of ancient sages through observation and analysis. So, I've always stressed that I didn't do anything myself, I just recorded it truthfully. ”
"Who is your teacher? Where is it now? Rist asked curiously.
There is a certain difference between the concepts of the master and the teacher, and he slapped his thigh heavily step by step, and told him to move these metaphysical things out in the end. In this way, the other party will question the authenticity of the book even more, and in addition, it will also make the congenitally deficient study of the I Ching fall into passivity!
"Zhou Xuan's teacher is a university president, a very well-known scholar, and his doctoral supervisor." Someone explained to Rist.
"Hehe, another history expert interested in astronomy?" Rist laughed, still with the same irrepressible mockery.
"Principal Yan Pingchuan was my mentor, but what he taught me was history and how to behave in the world. The Master I am talking about is another great teacher, just like my father, and I admire and respect him from the bottom of my heart. Zhou Xuan clenched his fists and said angrily.
"Where?"
"This ......"
Zhou Xuan was speechless, the statement that he traveled all over the world was too far-fetched, and he couldn't report the name of Guan Xuan, although the master was famous in history, and there was still an ancestral hall until now.
"It can't be an anonymous person, right?" Rist asked again, and Professor Baldwin was also anxious, and kept looking at Zhou Xuan.
However, no one waited for a definite answer, Zhou Xuan was silent for a long time, and still sat down. Even if he says it at this moment, no one will believe him, and they will think of him as a madman, or even a liar.
So can't stand scrutiny, Rist didn't show a smug look, he had seen too many unconventional people, maybe from the bottom of his heart, he also longed for new surprises, but Zhou Xuan still disappointed him.
Rist's hands slidied, and the bright starry sky appeared in front of everyone, "I know that Zhou Xuan is supporting a scientific study to try to discover dark matter in the universe, which is commendable." The ultimate goal of many of us scientists is to explore the mysteries of the universe, and in order to unravel the mystery of the mystery, countless scientists have dedicated their lives to confirm the existence of one celestial body after another with a rigorous attitude and conclusive data. There are many ways to explore the universe, but some are wrong, such as relying on divine powers, witchcraft, and even books that have no clear meaning. ”
"What do you mean, Mr. Rister? The I Ching is broad and profound, how can you insult a country's traditional culture at will? After hearing the translation, Bu Jiazhuo finally couldn't help but get up, and his last sentence was clearly a satire of the I Ching.
"In Zhou Xuan's words, I don't have a word to show this meaning." Rist sneered.
"That's what you mean!" The old man said angrily.
"Orientals who have no cultivation, forget it, goodbye!" Rist got up and left.
Zhou Xuan stood in front of him and asked in a deep voice, "Sir, have you said this?" ”
"Are you behaving like a gentleman now?"
"We're talking about astronomy, not gentlemen! Ladies and gentlemen, I can illustrate the greatness of the wisdom of the ancients! ”
Zhou Xuan moved the chair behind Rist, pointed to the star map, and said loudly: "Here, there is an asteroid!" 1,800 years ago, an ancient man of Wu discovered and verified this! ”
There was an uproar in the audience, many people shook their heads and sighed, Zhou Xuan's mood was understandable, but he couldn't say anything, which would only make him even more embarrassed.
However, Rist and the others were silent, and Rist stood for a full minute before taking a deep breath and asking, "Mr. Zhou Xuan, through what astronomical equipment did you find it?" ”
"At that time, there were no even the most basic telescopes, only the observation of the movement of celestial bodies with the eyes, and the inference of the I Ching theory." Zhou Xuan said.
"On what basis, can you elaborate on that?"
"Ladies and gentlemen, since the beginning of civilization, the starry sky has been the object of human beings' greatest desire to study, and this has been the case since ancient times. In our country, the observation and study of astrology can be traced back to 5,000 years ago, and it is true that astrology at that time was mainly for the service of the emperor, but this did not hinder the pace of exploration. Looking up at astronomy and looking down at geography, in the eyes of the ancients, the stars in the sky and everything in this world have a special corresponding connection, for example, the purple micro star symbolizes the emperor, all the stars are revolving around it, and each of us ordinary people has a corresponding star behind it. ”
Zhou Xuan looked around, paused slightly, and then continued: "The wisdom in the ancient I Ching has been providing a steady stream of guidance for various disciplines, and on this basis, the ancients deduced the location of the star officials through observation, established a star catalog, and gradually developed into a unique ancient star system. I still want to emphasize what I just said, I just faithfully present the research results of the ancients. ”
After another long silence, Rist slowly got up, took off his top hat, and stretched out his hand with a solemn face. Zhou Xuan was stunned, but still held him tightly.
"It's incredible, it's unbelievable." Rist muttered.
"Human development is still in the stage of continuous verification. The vastness and charm of the universe lies in its endless secrets waiting to be discovered. Zhou Xuan said.
"What else did the ancients say about this asteroid?" Rist asked.
"This star is called the Ding Star, which means that when it appears in the eyes of everyone, mankind has developed to a period of prosperity." Zhou Xuan said truthfully.
"Remarkable." Rist turned to the crowd, "I still can't describe my inner emotions, it's shocking. Last year, we determined that there should be an asteroid here by calculating the orbit of the celestial body and its current orbit, and we have just discovered its tracks, which are getting closer and closer to us, and because we have not captured images, it has not been released to the public. If what Zhou Xuan said was true, the great ancients had already foreseen it. No, it confirms it. ”
Everyone was stunned, the scene was silent, and after ten seconds, there was thunderous applause, everyone applauded vigorously, and their hands were red and there was no intention of stopping.
"Mr. Zhou Xuan, I apologize for my rudeness." Rist said sincerely.
"I'm abrupt too, please don't mind." Zhou Xuan also said politely.
"We didn't name the asteroid, but it won't be what you call a dingxing. It's better to call it Xuanxing. Rist said.
"It's not appropriate, if you can, I suggest calling Zhou Xing. Since the end of the week, the cycle has the beginning and the beginning, and there is also the meaning of perfection. ”
