003 Defend the truth
"My lord, I firmly believe that the earth revolves around the sun, and that the universe is infinite, and that the sun is nothing more than a celestial system in the universe. If you want to change my mind and beliefs, then I advise you not to do useless work, and just let me be burned at the stake!"
Bruno stood up directly at this time, and first told Duke about his determination to adhere to heliocentrism, just like in the original history, Bruno's character is still so impulsive and radical, leaving no room for himself.
"Yes lord, if you don't believe me, I've created a magical spectacle that will allow you to see the vast sky and prove that what we say is right. ”
Galileo also stood up at this time, and said this in an excited and passionate tone, more like he was happy that he had discovered the mysteries of the universe, and wanted to let others know.
Only Copernicus stood still and did not speak, and in the other world he did not muster up the courage to publish his "Theory of the Motions of the Heavenly Bodies" until his death, so his behavior is very consistent with historical behavior. It seems that although the world has changed, the personalities of these three people have not changed much.
Hearing what they said, Duke of course understood that what they said was right, and Galileo's so-called magic glasses are probably the first astronomical telescope in history. But sometimes what is right is not accepted by the world, and the defense of the truth must go through the blood of generations of pioneers before it can completely change the human view of the universe.
"What if I tell you that I believe everything you say?"
Duke said this sentence lightly, in fact, there is nothing to talk nonsense, science is science, truth is truth, and it will not change because of the times and the existence of the Holy See. If a theory can be changed at will, then it does not deserve to be called truth.
When they heard Duke's words, Galileo and the three of them all looked at Duke with wide eyes and disbelief. In their hearts, from the moment they are judged, they are ready to stand up to the whole world and die for the truth.
Even explaining all this to Duke was just an expression of ideas, and they didn't have the hope in their hearts that Duke would believe. It's just that they never imagined that this new young lord would actually believe in their so-called heresy!
"Collar ...... My lord, do you really believe everything we say, that the earth revolves around the sun?"
Bruno stammered and repeated, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
"Yes, I believe in your heliocentric theory, and I respect your defense of the truth. ”
When it was confirmed that what Duke said was true, the three of them did not have the ecstasy they imagined, but subconsciously took a step back and looked at Duke with more suspicious eyes.
Duke's direct and decisive agreement is simply illogical!
Seeing their eyes, Duke didn't care, this is a very normal behavior. It's like when he first came to this world, he was honored by the maid as Lord Lord, and he also looked at his maid with a kind of neurotic eyes, and thought that he had come to some cosplay exhibition.
It took him a full day to fuse the memories of the original Duke before he initially accepted that he had really come to this world similar to the European Middle Ages.
As you always say, time will tell, the truth will shine its light, and time will prove that what I am saying is true. But there is no time to convince others of all this, and you should know that the Bishop of the Holy See, Kasmai, has always wanted to judge you, but I have stopped you. At the same time I turned you from heretics to heretics, and now you are all members of Scientology!"
If Galileo just couldn't believe it before, now they all have the eyes of a fool......
This new young lord is definitely in his right mind, and he has turned himself into some kind of Scientology! Oh my God, he doesn't even know what science is, and if he has to choose, he might as well return to the arms of the Lord.
Seeing their eyes, Duke immediately reacted, this group of medieval scientific pioneers actually didn't know the meaning of scientific terms, and it was impossible for them to understand the spoofs of their own Scientology.
So he quickly explained: "You have misunderstood, science is not a religion, but a collective term for the pursuit of knowledge and the unknown. What I said to Kasmai about Scientology is just a cover, after all, you all know that heretics are more hateful than heretics. ”
Hearing Duke's explanation, Galileo and the others probably understood what he meant. Galileo stood up and said, "Your Lord, but the Church of Scientology is still a heresy in the eyes of the Holy See, and if we can't give Bishop Carsmail an explanation, he will still not let us go, and maybe even you will be implicated." ”
"That's right, so we can't carry this black cauldron, someone has to carry it!"
Duke said this in a firm tone, in his previous life, as a game pit goods, he was very skilled in throwing the pot to his teammates, and it can be regarded as his few special skills.
When Bruno heard this, he thought that Duke was going to find a few substitutes, so he put his right hand on his chest, knelt down on one knee and said: "I am very grateful to the lord for his firm belief in the truth, but if I let others bear it, then I am more willing to use my own blood to prove the truth, and the future world will know my worth after all!"
"No one will die innocently. In fact, it's very simple to shake the pot, isn't the monster valley in the distance the best tool to carry the pot? you just need to say that you are confused by the monster black magic, I believe that Kasmai does not have the courage to go to the monster valley to explore the truth. ”
"But this is also equivalent to making us give up the theory of heliocentrism, Lord Lord, I forgive you for not accepting your kindness, I agree with Bruno's statement, the truth will eventually need to be defended with blood!"
Galileo also knelt down on one knee at this time and said firmly, after all, if they were afraid of death, they would have changed their minds and given up before the Inquisition, instead of waiting until now. Even Copernicus, who had not spoken, knelt down and proved his determination to uphold the truth with his actions.
Looking at the three scientific pioneers kneeling, Duke also had an urge to be infected by them at this moment, so he walked up to them and said, "No! You are just hiding your theory for the time being, and one day the world will prove you right." Trust me, this day won't be far away!"
The three Galileo looked up at Duke in front of them, and saw a kind of firmness in his eyes, which definitely didn't look like a lie to them, the lord really believed what they said.
It is true that Duke's eyes are full of determination, but this is not just for the sake of science and truth, but also for the three pioneers in front of him, in addition to the theory of heliocentrism, there are many other achievements.
For example, Copernicus was a top medical scientist and was even revered as a miracle doctor. Bruno was also a thinker and naturalist, able to shake the foundations of papal theology.
Not to mention Galileo, who had titles such as mathematician, physicist, astronomer, and so on. But the most fancy-point thing for Duke is that Galileo is one of the founders of modern experimental science, inventing objects such as astronomical telescopes, pendulum clocks, thermometers, etc., and also proposing the law of free fall and the law of inertia, which are familiar to later generations.
Duke will always remember a great man who said in the books back then, that is, "science and technology are the primary productive forces", and these scientific pioneers in front of him are the productive forces that will survive and grow in this world in the future!
