After arriving in Shaanzhou, Guozijian and his party also quickly got on the steam locomotive.

After all...... No matter how you say it, it's coming, and there's no reason not to sit and try the effect.

Then this sat directly on the outskirts of Luoyang, and some students who had many questions in their hearts and could not be answered took advantage of the fact that they had all come to Luoyang, and simply planned to organize a meeting with Li Chong.

You don't have to be very formal, just find a random place, spread out a futon or mat, prepare some drinks, and then have a face-to-face conversation.

Those who can come up with such ideas are undoubtedly full of interest in Li Chong's various whimsical ideas.

And Li Chong was obviously also curious, what kind of questions they would ask.

Therefore......

When they heard that they were going to hold such a meet-and-answer event and wanted to invite Li Chong to participate, Li Chong, who received the invitation, also readily agreed.

Of course, as usual, Li Chong still has to talk to Li Chengqian.

In this way, Li Chengqian also took most of the day out of his busy schedule to participate in this meeting and answer questions.

All I can say is......

As the question deepened, the group inevitably and couldn't help but ask about the nature of this world.

According to Li Chong's point of view, everything in this world has its own reason.

Li Zhong also referred to these principles as 'the principle of all things.'"

If a person can fully grasp these truths, then, to some extent, this person can even be regarded as an immortal, no difference.

Of course!

Such people are regarded as immortals, but because ordinary people are really ignorant, according to their concepts, they seem to be immortals.

Actually......

Li Zhong prefers to call such a group of people scientists.

"So what is a scientist?"

Someone asked.

"The so-called scientist refers to a scientific researcher who reproduces and understands, explores and practices various phenomena in the world, and makes outstanding contributions and has very high achievements."

"Suffice it to say, scientists have the ability to move mountains and reclaim seas."

"Of course, it's not the kind of spell that makes the whole mountain fly with the movement of a finger."

"That only exists in fantasy."

"Rather...... Scientists can study the 'principles of all things' and make tools accordingly."

"So as to achieve a multiplier effect with half the effort."

"For example, if you want to chisel through a mountain with a radius of several hundred zhang and connect this end of the mountain with the other end of the mountain, if you do it like Yugong moved a mountain, then it will have to be done by future generations to do it."

"And if it were scientists who were to do this, they would definitely be able to develop a machine that could easily chisel a mountain in less than a month, maybe even a dozen days."

"What's the difference between a craftsman and a scientist?"

Someone asked.

Li Chong said, "Scientists mainly discover the unknown. The craftsman, on the other hand, is the creator of the unattained. Or rather, scientists discover the real world, while craftsmen realize a possible world."

….

"Of course! At present, this has not been so delicately divided, so often scientists can be craftsmen, craftsmen, or scientists."

"What is the unknown?"

Someone else asked.

"For example, when you look up at the starry sky and think that the stars tonight are so beautiful, scientists will wonder if there are people living on these stars who look like us."

"The world we live in, beyond the starry sky of hundreds of millions of miles, will there also be a place, this place, too?

There are people like us."

"You mean there's a man living on the stars?"

Someone said excitedly.

Li Chong: "I didn't say that, I just proposed a possibility, maybe there are people living on the stars."

"I can't understand why the ground under our feet is round. Can you come up with some evidence?"

Li Chong: "I can only provide you with a basis from the side, for example, a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse. Unless you can fly into space, you can see for yourself whether it's a ball or not."

"Where is space?"

Li Chong: "Space is the place beyond the sky, and the sky we see is blue or white. But actually, when you fly outside, you see that the whole sky is actually dark, and you can't hear anything when you're in it."

"How do you know?"

Li Chong: "Guessed."

"How to guess?"

Li Chong: "According to various phenomena, for example, when there is no sunlight, such as night, the sky is pitch black."

"Forehead ......"

Li Chong: "Anyway...... Scientists are doing just that. And...... Eventually, their findings may have some benefits for future craftsmen in the production process."

"So...... This is how the steam locomotive was also studied? Can you give us an example with a steam locomotive?"

Li Chong said, "The prototype of the steam locomotive is actually boiling hot water at home. The average person may only see that when the hot water boils, the lid of the kettle will be lifted. Scientists, on the other hand, may be studying how big this force can be, and what it is related to."

"What about the development of a steam locomotive?"

Li Chong: "This is what the craftsman wants to achieve. The steam is responsible for providing a force, and then the craftsman does how to use that force to propel the steam locomotive forward. In fact...... It's similar to a waterwheel."

"But steam locomotives are so complicated. It looks countless times more complicated than a waterwheel."

Li Chong: "That's why we need the help of craftsmen with clever minds."

After some questions and answers, a lot of confusion was finally resolved in the minds of these students.

Someone else asked, "So how do you become a scientist?"

Li Chong could only rub his head and say, "I don't know, probably to observe more, do more experiments, and dig into many things that ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty despise to explore their essence."

"For example, if a pear falls from a tree, what do you usually think of?"

Someone said, "Maybe there's a worm growing in the stalk, right?"

Someone said, "When it's cooked, it will naturally fall off."

Li Chong: "So...... You are ordinary people's minds, and if you are a scientist, a scientist will wonder why the pear falls down and not up. What the hell is it that makes the pears have to fall."

「……」

Everyone was speechless for a moment.

Isn't that something you think about if you have lost your soul?
