Chapter 17: The First Lesson
Science?
Hearing this unfamiliar word, thousands of eyes became more and more confused up and down the Nanshan Academy.
However, what these students who came from all over the country didn't know was that this was just the beginning.
"Science, simply put, is a discipline that helps us understand the world.
It is a systematic and formulaic knowledge system based on testable explanations and predictions about the form, organization, etc. of objective things, and is a systematic and formulaic knowledge ......"
Lin Tuo calmly narrated and explained according to the prepared information.
From time to time, I picked up chalk and sketched lines of text and pictures on a whole dark wall.
Yes.
For the first lesson of the sand table humans, Lin Tuo decided to start with science.
Of course, considering the "national conditions" here, Lin Tuo except for the beginning, threw off a difficult and extremely conceptual definition, after achieving the effect of the town scene.
After a while, I began to talk about the most basic, the most simple and easy-to-understand way to understand the world.
Use a few simple physical experiments to draw people's attention, and then, throw questions one by one, and use mathematics as a tool to build a basic "scientific cognition".
"What is the world made of?"
"How to explain the nature of the natural phenomena we observe?"
"Spring, summer, autumn and winter, the four seasons change, what kind of laws and logic do you follow?"
More and more words appeared on the blackboard, and as Lin Tuo spoke, those blank eyes gradually brightened.
Leave aside those auditors who brought their own futons, paper and pens and crowded at the foot of the mountain.
In fact, most of the people who can attend Nanshan Academy are talented and intelligent people in the entire Chi Kingdom.
Next to the monarch, those ministers who seem to be old are also the human elites who have been killed layer by layer from the imperial examination.
In addition, Lin Tuo deliberately only taught some basic knowledge, the purpose was only to give these people a scientific way of thinking.
Therefore, they soon realized that what "Master Lin" was talking about, those things that sounded very strange, seemed to be pushing a door open for them.
A ...... A magnificent gate that the sages never noticed.
Outside the door, a whole new world is created.
……
"Rustling ......"
The breeze swept across Nanshan, and Lin Tuo stood in front of the blackboard, speaking in a slow tone.
After pauses, his eyes are briefly confused, he switches his consciousness back to his body, and then quickly writes down the content of the document on the computer, and then switches back to narrate.
After absorbing the Empress Dowager, Lin Tuo found that his memory had also improved, and he had been prepared for it.
Therefore, it is easy to deal with it.
In the eyes of the students in the mountains, they only felt that the forest master was becoming more and more unfathomable.
On the tables and chairs in front of the academy, there was also an area occupied by a group of recorders, who didn't need to listen to the lecture or understand the content, but just worked hard to write and record Lin Tuo's words all the time.
For a time, in the whole Nanshan, there was only the sound of the wind and Lin Tuo's narration.
An hour later.
Lin Tuo announced a break from a stick of incense, so that the students could rest and solve physiological problems.
Then, the lecture continues.
And just like that, an hour passed.
Two hours passed.
Four Hours......
Six Hours......
Unconsciously, the sky turned from early morning to evening, and the students who listened to the lectures also rotated one after another in the seats all over the mountains.
Occasionally, when someone gets up and leaves the table, they will do their best to walk along the edge as best they can, trying not to disturb others.
After the transformation of life, Lin Tuo's physical strength has already far surpassed that of ordinary people.
Occasionally, I take advantage of the recess to switch back to the main body, order a takeout to eat, or lie down and rest for a while, just like that, I talked all day in one breath, and I was not very tired.
As for the people who can't hold up the lectures, it doesn't matter much.
"Anyway, I have to talk so much, and it is impossible for anyone to digest it all at once, as long as the record of the officer's shift is recorded, it will be fine."
Lin Tuo knew this.
As he said, the purpose of science courses has never been to make these people understand mathematics, physics and chemistry in a short period of time, but only to spread the seeds of scientific thinking methods, nothing more.
……
"Did you hear that? On the South Mountain, that Lin Sheng had been talking for a whole day, and there was no sign of stopping. ”
"I heard that several ministers of the DPRK and China were exhausted, and some fainted in class and were carried down.
After waking up, he picked up a few mouthfuls of food, and then let people help him back to the school...... You say, 'Are you crazy?' ”
"You don't understand, do you? Not to mention how rare the opportunity for the saint to preach, if you miss it, I am afraid that I will regret it for the rest of my life, just saying that His Majesty is still holding on, which minister dares to be lazy? ”
In the Taoxian teahouse, the sunset hung on the horizon, and the content of people's conversations and discussions quietly changed.
"When it gets dark, you'll stop, right? Otherwise, even if all the tables are lit, I am afraid it will not be enough......"
At the foot of the mountain, an accompanying minister in charge of "logistics" looked at the students all over the mountain and said with a sad face.
"It's okay, after nightfall, there is a vision of heaven and earth." On the side, the county magistrate of Tao County was dressed straight and said with a smile.
"A vision of heaven and earth?" The minister was stunned, a little puzzled.
Soon, however, he understood everything.
When the last rays of afterglow fell on the western horizon, Lin Tuozheng talked about Xingtou, simply switched his consciousness back to his body, and then turned on the flashlight fixed on the shelf.
As a result, I saw that the dark and dreary night sky suddenly descended a pillar of light, illuminating the entire Nanshan Mountain, and even most of the county.
Those students who rushed from all over the country were shocked and speechless, but the people of Tao County didn't care at all, and explained with a smile, their faces full of pride.
……
Time passed, and under the lights, the whole night was brighter than the day, and during this time, the people from all over the country of Chi did not stop, but more and more.
The little Tao county did not have enough shelter at all, and these people were not angry, but camped quietly in the wilderness on the outskirts, as if they were content to listen to the sage's preaching.
These newly injected blood just replenished those students who were physically exhausted and temporarily left the table.
Lin Tuo witnessed the continuous change of faces during the banquet, and found that the audience was actually increasing instead of decreasing, and he also felt a little emotional in his heart.
In fact, through his understanding in the past few days, he found that in Chi Country, there is actually a trend of thought similar to Gewu Zhizhi.
It's just that it is not systematic, extremely superficial, and second, it is even more unconventional.
In terms of the introduction to basic science that he talked about today, if it were an ordinary person, not to mention that it would not attract too many people to listen, I am afraid that he would be directly ousted from power by the traditional school.
But now, with the decree of the gods and the identity of a saint, it is much easier to accept it and follow-up promotion.
With emotion in his heart, his lectures did not stop, and they still followed a fixed rhythm.
In the early hours of midnight, Lin Tuo finally threw the chalk in his hand on the ground, clapped his hands, bathed in divine light, overlooked the exhausted students all over the mountains, and said with a smile:
"What I am talking about today is extremely superficial, and it can only be regarded as pushing open the door in the category of science, and as for the content behind this door, it is left to you and future generations to explore.
Okay, so that's the first lesson, science.
You can go back and rest, recuperate, or sort out what you've learned today, and tomorrow at noon, I'll give the second lesson. ”
"Second class?" The head of Wenchen, who was helped back to class, couldn't help but pinch his beard and asked carefully.
"Yes, as for what it is, you will know when the time comes.
Well, I can remind you in advance that the content of the second class will be more, please bring enough pen and paper. ”
Lin Tuo smiled, looked around at the thousands of students in robes, and said lightly.
