Chapter 105: Genius
In another world, Leonardo da Vinci was the most famous painter, scientist, and inventor of the Italian Renaissance. Many scholars have called him "the most perfect representative of the Renaissance", a unique all-rounder in human history.
But in this world, Leonardo da Vinci is the literary champion of the Ming Empire, the Pope of the Truth Church, and the second most inventive inventor, scientist, and painter in the world.
In primary school textbooks, there are many short stories about Leonardo da Vinci's resume, as well as many introductions.
From the age of twelve, under the patronage of Princess Yongqing, he came to study in the Ming Dynasty, and he was determined to become a Ming person.
At the age of eighteen, he finally entered the Daming nationality, and once wanted to give a Chinese name to the surname of Princess Yongqing, the godmother, and finally Gaozu took the last three characters of his name, with Da as the surname and Finch as the name.
However, he was dedicated to integrating into Daming, and in addition to his name being a little weird, he also gave himself a lot of names.
The inventor with the most inventions in human history is Lan Guifei, the concubine of Emperor Gaozu, who has become a god and is known as Doumu Niangniang among the people.
Among the ranks of men, he is the most inventive.
Although Xiaoyaohou's contribution is greater than his, it has always been concentrated in the fields of electromagnetism and electricity, compared to Leonardo da Vinci's hobbies are more extensive.
Whether it is machinery, materials, power, flying in the sky (airplane), running on the ground (train), or swimming in the water (ship), he is interested.
In addition, he is also the director of the Daming Rocket Research Institute, and the long-range missiles invented by the Daming army, under his leadership, can already carry more than 50 warheads and fly 200 miles away.
Not only does it fly far, but it also has a very high accuracy, and the error from two hundred miles away does not exceed fifty meters.
Long-range missile technology is the most advanced weapon of the Ming Dynasty today, relying on this firepower, the Ming Navy can take the Western Regions (Europe) as its own back garden, and all countries recognize it as the suzerain.
In this Ming world, except for some local wars between small countries in the Western Regions, there are no major wars, relying on the deterrence of this powerful firepower.
Compared to the history of another world, which is a history of war, the sixteenth century of this world can be described as very peaceful.
Zhou Bei has admired Leonardo da Vinci since he was a child, and he is a real genius, not a fake genius like himself.
At the beginning of the year, he came to Daming, and Da Vinci went to Nanjing (Singapore) to recuperate, and later came back, and Zhou Bei did not have a chance to meet.
But today, he was able to speak directly to this genius.
He was a little nervous, a little weak-hearted, and more excited.
The Pope's House in the East Courtyard was originally a family temple, but it was remodeled many years ago beyond recognition and suitable for habitation.
In the middle courtyard, there is the first high-rise building in the Ming Dynasty, the Truth Tower, this 60-meter-high glazed tower has always been one of the top ten buildings in the Ming Dynasty, which can be called an artistic treasure.
The West Courtyard was the most renovated and became the headquarters of Shinrikyo and a sacred place for scholars all over the world.
There are also ten headquarters there, which are History and Literature, Natural Sciences, Astronomy, Geography, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology, Medicine, and Law.
The headquarters here is not involved in practical application, just academic headquarters.
Each year, Shinrikyo selects the highest academic award from up to one person or group in each of the ten disciplines.
And the real research is in the major research institutes in Daming, there were originally only ten research institutes, but after the development over the years, Daming has seventy-one research institutes, and the classification is becoming more and more detailed.
And these research institutes, including the researchers inside, are under the highest level of protection, and many of them have a level of protection even higher than that of the Imperial Palace.
Many ministers, if they die one, they can make up for one, not necessarily worse than their predecessors, but many of those researchers are irreplaceable.
At the entrance of the Pope's Palace, Zhou Bei was subjected to the strictest inspection, and the gifts on the bodies and gifts carried by the two were carefully inspected before they were allowed to enter the door.
Unlike the crowds in the Pope's Mansion imagined by Zhou Bei, the huge Pope's Palace seemed a little deserted.
He couldn't help but look around and asked, "Lord Huo, don't the Pope's family live here?" ”
Huo Yi nodded and said, "When the Pope first took office, he lived for a while, but later he thought it was too solemn, so his family moved to Wencui Houfu not far away. It is the place where the Pope meets guests, studies and conducts everyday business. ”
Walking through a set of courtyards, you will officially enter the courtyard of the Papal Palace, and you can smell the rich aroma.
Later, I saw various osmanthus trees planted in the yard, and some osmanthus potted plants in the garden.
Two old men stood in front of a cluster of osmanthus potted plants, whispering something, and there were several guards in the distance, sitting under the eaves of the porch and chatting.
Seeing Huo Yi and Zhou Bei coming in, the two old men looked over, and then a smile appeared on their faces.
They looked at each other and smiled, nodded slightly, and turned to face Zhou Bei.
Huo Yi patted Zhou Bei on the shoulder. "Your Excellency and the Pope are waiting for you, so I won't go over and get involved."
Where can Zhou Bei still take care of him, he walked a few steps quickly, and when there were still two meters away, he was surrounded by a long tree. "The boy Zhou Bei has seen Master Li, and the student Zhou Bei has seen the Pope."
Li Ji had inconvenient legs and feet, and nodded with a smile on crutches. Da Vinci, who had gray hair and a big beard, stared at Zhou Bei for a while, and said with a gentle smile: "Knowing that Yun Shanbo has extraordinary knowledge in mechanical transmission, I want to see it." Genius minds need the collision of equal ideas in order to generate more inspiration. I hope Yun Shanbo won't let me down......"
His voice is an authentic official dialect, even more standard than Zhou Bei, if you don't look at his face, listening to the voice is an authentic Ming person.
Zhou Bei once again said alone: "The Pope is the idol of the North, and he can't help but be overjoyed to be summoned by the Lord. I hope I don't disappoint adults. ”
In terms of mechanical technology alone, Zhou Bei can't even compare with his father and second brother, they have all experienced a perfect education and practiced at work.
Zhou Bei was influenced by them, coupled with the research and acting as a "technology thief" in the past few years, which is only a beginner.
But his advantage is not the foundation, but the knowledge and experience.
All kinds of novel technologies in the other world are more advanced and go further than the technologies of this world.
Under the bypass, Zhou Bei is also confident that he can cope with Leonardo da Vinci's test.
Leonardo da Vinci was only two years older than Richie, but Richie looked like he was in his thirties, and Leonardo da Vinci looked like a real old man.
Born in the year 4150 of the Yellow Emperor's calendar, he is sixty-two years old this year, and his health does not look very good, but his eyes are clear, and he has never stopped researching.
Even in old age, he can come up with hundreds of new technologies, although they are rarely invented, most of them are improvements, which can also prove that he is not "old".
Li Ji obviously had a good relationship with him, and at this time he interjected: "Your Majesty told the Pope about your car, and we are waiting for you in the courtyard, and we also want to see your car." If you want to study, you can do it at any time after you get acquainted, so let's go sit in a circle first. ”
Zhou Beileng paused, and then hurriedly said: "It's my honor to be a driver for adults and the Pope." ”
Li Ji smiled: "The Pope is not so free, I don't dare to let you take risks, but the middle courtyard has been cleared out, and we will not accept tourists today, so let's go to the courtyard and drive a few laps." ”
The three of them went out together, and as soon as Da Vinci saw the Mercedes-Benz big G parked at the door, he came to take a closer look. "Although the appearance is almost the same as Daming's Mercedes-Benz, if you look closely, there is a big difference.
The spraying process of the paint is higher, and it can almost be used as a mirror. The connection, opening and closing, and processing technology of various places are obviously more precise. Especially for car lights, Daming can't make such a style of car lights at present. ”
Zhou Bei continued: "This kind of car lamp is made of light-emitting diodes, which has the advantages of low consumption and long life. ”
"Light-emitting diodes?"
Zhou Bei recalled for a moment and said: "The materials of light-emitting diodes are composed of gallium, arsenic, phosphorus, nitrogen and other materials, and light-emitting diodes made of different materials can reflect different light. I don't know much about the principle, but I know that it uses electrons to recombine with holes to produce visible light. ”
"It's enough to be inspired, not a professional. Can you turn on the headlights now for me to see? ”
"Of course."
Zhou Bei got into the car, started the car, then turned on various lights, and also turned on the marker lights, and stepped on the brakes from time to time.
Leonardo da Vinci was so fascinated that he even put his eyes close to the headlights to observe them closely.
After a while, he looked at the headlights again and asked Zhou Bei, who got out of the car. "Mind if I take it apart?"
Zhou Bei said with a smile: "This kind of lamp does not need to be dismantled for the time being, because this is not the first generation of technology." I also have all kinds of LED lights there, enough for researchers to study. ”
There are all kinds of LED Christmas lights in the cargo hold, LED flashlights, and it's easier to study that kind of bulb than to study car lights.
Li Ji smiled and said, "Your Majesty has great trust in the Pope, and you can tell him about your ability." ”
From Li Ji said that he saw his car, Zhou Bei guessed some, so he said everything to Da Vinci.
But I was still a little surprised to hear that he could even tell Leonardo da Vinci about his abilities.
He nodded and said in a low voice: "It's inconvenient outside, I'll take it out when I'm alone for a while." ”
Li Ji nodded. "The Pope has a copy of the hundred commodities and technical manuals you have put together. He also saw televisions and computers in the palace. ”
Zhou Bei nodded and opened the rear door. "Adult, please get on the bus ......"
Lee Ki got into the back seat, and Da Vinci got into the front seat. As soon as I got into the car, I was attracted by the front row of LCD screens.
"Wow, this is really an amazing process, is it the same technology as the TV and the computer?"
"Yes, students don't know much about this kind of LCD technology, and in another world, it also belongs to a highly professional high-end technology."
Leonardo da Vinci looked up at him curiously. "And what did you learn in the other world?"
Zhou Bei was ashamed and said: "Special soldiers and the law." ”
"Law!" Leonardo da Vinci was dumbfounded. "It's really...... Wasted. ”
"It's not a ...... students can control"
Leonardo da Vinci sighed. "I heard Master Li talk about you, and I know it's not something you can control."
The car started, put on the forward gear, and drove smoothly, and a few brocade guards blocked both ends of the street, and no cars or people could affect them.
The Truth Tower is a large courtyard that is now a tourist area, and visitors can visit it for free by appointment, but the Tower of Truth is generally not open to the public.
If the entire glazed tower is allowed to climb the tower at will, it will be irreparable to cause a little damage.
The car drove around the yard a few times, and the good shock absorption surprised both Leonardo da Vinci and Leekey.
Zhou Bei introduced: "The high-end cars in that world generally have two sets of suspension systems, one is spring and the other is hydraulic, and the two sets work at the same time to reduce bumps. ”
Leonardo da Vinci sat in laps several times, and also studied the buttons in front of him one by one to find out the function.
Zhou Bei also took the trouble to patiently explain to him, and let him see and experience.
At this time, he was not at all a serious pope as Zhou Bei imagined, but a fanatical technology fan.
Finally, he wanted to get under the car and take a closer look.
Seeing that he liked it so much, Zhou Bei almost blurted out several times that he wanted to give him this car.
But there is only this performance car left, and Zhou Bei wants to prevent him from escaping when he encounters danger in the future, but he is still reluctant in the end.
However, there are still nearly 200 containers on the ship that have not been cleared, and there are still more than a dozen vehicles on the cargo list that have not been found, and they seem to be all sedans, not off-road vehicles.
"My lord, I should have a dozen more cars there, but I haven't found them yet. When you find out, the student will give you another one. ”
When Li Ji heard this, he immediately said: "More than a dozen!" Then I'll have one too! ”
Zhou Bei couldn't say this if he didn't send it, he could only say: "As long as there is, there must be adults." ”
Da Vinci was attracted at this time, gave up studying the car, looked at Zhou Bei and asked, "Your Majesty said about your space?" Is it another time and space? ”
Zhou Bei shook his head and said, "No, to be precise, it should be a small world separated from another time and space." There's no time passing in there, and outsiders can't move when they go in except me, but they don't seem to die, and they stay in the state of the moment they go in forever. ”
Da Vinci grabbed Zhou Bei's arm and said excitedly: "Take me in and have a look." ”
Zhou Bei smiled: "When we are alone, I will take you in." ”
"Let's go, go back." Leonardo da Vinci seemed impatient.
Zhou Bei glanced at the Tower of Truth regretfully, and wanted to go in and have a look, but he also knew that now was not the time.
The car stopped in the courtyard, and the three of them returned to the Pope's Palace in the east courtyard through a small gate in the middle courtyard.
Entering the hall of the main building through the back door, the hall here is similar to the regulations of the royal palace, solemn and magnificent.
But before Zhou Bei could take a closer look, he was pulled into the podium on the other side by Leonardo da Vinci.
This podium is supposed to be Leonardo da Vinci's laboratory, with an area of four or five hundred square meters, surrounded by bookshelves and filing cabinets against the wall, and four huge workbenches in the middle, one side full of various models.
Zhou Bei noticed that a workbench was filled with various goods with packaging boxes, as well as several stacks of documents.
These were the goods he had sorted out in the palace to be produced, and he took a set for Leonardo da Vinci to study.
"Quick, take me to see ......"
