"From a theological point of view, this is indeed a miracle." One monk analyzed: "Our scriptures are written by the Father who inspired the writers. ”

Now, through the Church, the Father has written down the rules and precepts of natural philosophy through the pen of philosophers. So, these theories, and the instruments created from them, are naturally spiritual. There is indeed a divine element on them. ”

"This kind of divinity is indeed easier to test." Another monk also offered his own thoughts: "It is very difficult to detect theological errors. However, in the study of natural philosophy, if there is a misunderstanding and inadequate cognition, it is easy for others to find out. ”

Since the Father created all parts of the world, the underlying laws should be the same. This is the window that Heavenly Father has left for us to verify and discover the truth. ”

Everyone agreed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our church takes the offerings of believers and lets others farm and weave to feed themselves, just so that everyone can save their energy, concentrate on feeling the light of God, and then turn around and lead others." Guo Kang said: "If the church's ability to perceive the world is not as good as that of ordinary believers, then it is impossible to say. ”

"That's right." Dmitry also felt that it made sense.

After they finished talking, Guo Kang said that this is all for today's main visit items. It happened to be time for dinner, so everyone went to the cafeteria to eat something and then think about what else was wrong. As for the follow-up research, you can also talk while eating.

They followed another path, ascending the red cliffs, ready to return.

From here, you can see a bay not far away. There was a small pier and several houses were built on the shore. You can see an elevated aqueduct that diverts water from a mountain creek and a waterwheel that has not yet been built. One of the buildings, with tall chimneys, has several small pools next to it.

"Is it part of the monastery too?" Dmitry asked.

"Yes, I've found a place with easy transportation and I'm going to integrate the current experimental workshop to improve efficiency." Guo Kang said: "In various regions of Romania, there are many places where coal is produced, but unfortunately most of them are not nearby, so they can only be transported by water for the time being. The building on the mountain is used to make coke from coal. We burn the coal in a sealed boiler, and the product is a very good fuel. ”

"And that pool is for exhaust gases. After firing a kiln, the exhaust gas inside passes through the pottery pipe and enters the bottom of this pool. The pond is lime, which can dispose of a lot of poisons. Back we will add lids to these pools to keep out the air so that we can get the treated furnace gas. ”

"Collect this stuff too?" Tuhuan asked curiously, "What is this for?" ”

"Isn't there a big bellows in that glass workshop just now, next to the tin tank, and that's what it is." Guo Kang said: "When we heat the tin, its surface will change when it comes into contact with the 'phlogist gas' in the air. So during this time, it is necessary to blow with other gases. ”

"The 'phlogist gas' in the coke oven has been consumed by the coal, and it can be regarded as 'phlogistine-free gas'. So just use it to protect the tin. Anyway, in our process, it doesn't take long to use it, and when the molten glass is poured up, the glass itself will isolate the tin and air. ”

"But when I built those experimental facilities, I didn't think about such a complicated problem, and now I have to take a cowhide airbag and fill it with gas. To make a glass, you have to brag about it first......"

"It's stupid to move around. So I decided to move the entire glass workshop from now on. Guo Kang said: "I plan to make a whole pipeline, use exhaust gas to help preheat the tin bath, and then treat the cooled gas, and finally bring it back to spray." It's just that the pipes are twisted and twisted, and I can't think about it, and now I'm looking for an architect to do it. ”

"Can you design it?" Tuohuan asked.

"Rest assured, they have a lot of experience designing pipes." Guo Kang said: "Tell them that the temperature is very high, and they don't need to use lead to connect." ”

With that, they left the workshop area and returned to the church. After resting for a while, the horn on the wall rang three times, and everyone sighed that this thing was really magical, and went to eat.

Grand Lama Wang and Abbot John also appeared in the cafeteria to greet the visiting monks and see if they had gained anything. Dmitry and others expressed their gratitude, saying that they would bring more priests to visit in the future, and called on other congregations to come and help.

All in all, everyone seems to be quite satisfied with these displays.

After eating, Guo Kang returned to the chapel at their request and took out the pumping bag he had made before to show everyone.

"It's not very airtight, so it can't be vacuumed. Of course, it is enough to demonstrate the power of air pressure. He took a copper thing that looked like a pump and told everyone.

"In this thing, a one-way valve is made of copper sheet and soft leather gasket. It is this copper plug with a handle that is pumping. He showed the monks the pump: "Actually, it is the same principle as the pump, that is, the valve is in the opposite direction. ”

"Then, I also made a special demonstration device - vacuum copper balls." He took out two more copper hemispheres with wide edges: "In the beginning, I used them to give lectures to the monks here. But then we made a more practical glass tube, and this thing has been kept here as a teaching aid. ”

"It's not a ball, is it?" Dehuan pointed out.

"Well, I did plan to make two hemispheres directly, but our sealing material is not very good, so to be on the safe side, we made the edges a little wider. Now it feels a bit like the hat of the Great Khan......" Guo Kang defended: "The copper ball is the name I am used to, you have to call it the 'copper hat experiment'......"

"You see, I've got the valve in hand." He pointed to one half of it and said, "Between the two hemispheres, there is also a soft leather washer." ”

"Now, let's fix it." He asked the two monks to press hard, then connected the gas pump, opened the valve, and began to pump.

This rudimentary device will soon be unable to pump. However, Guo Kang said that it was enough, closed the valve, and asked the two to let go of their hands. Then, he held a "copper hat" in one hand, and the other half actually didn't fall off.

"Is this sticky?" Someone asked.

"It's suppressed." Guo Kang said: "Although it is far from a vacuum, the difference in gas pressure is enough for it to be fixed on it - it is equivalent to two people pressing it all the time, so it can't fall off." ”

As he spoke, he closed half of the gate, took the rope, tied one end to the pillar, and tied the other end to the handrail of the gate, straightening the rope so that the copper ball hung in the air.

"It's easy to push hard. Who's going to try it? ”

Dmitry stepped forward and tried to push the door, but it didn't move. Several of the other monks were curious to try, and the rope on the copper ball tightened, but they could not be torn apart.

"Look, that's the power of physics, too." Guo Kang said proudly.

"I don't know if there is a patron saint in this realm." One monk said: "I want to worship him in the church where I work, and the faithful will like it very much." ”

"The whole field is too big. It is estimated that only Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother can manage it so widely. Guo Kang said: "As for a specific part...... The villagers had already begun to worship the 'Lady of the Lantern'. ”

"What's that?" The monk asked.

Guo Kang took out a scroll and opened it, only to see a young girl in a nun's dress drawn on it. She herself doesn't have many characteristics, but she carries a lamp that glows purple in her hand.

"It's worth a lot of money, but the villagers think it's worth it." Guo Kang said: "This character is not real, but a symbol of the Father's grace in the purple light. Perhaps it can also be seen as the personification of the lamp. They donated the painting to the monastery as a token of gratitude. ”

"Didn't you make this lamp?" Tuhuan pointed out: "Then this ...... Isn't this the female version of Ling? ”

“？？？”

Guo Kang couldn't react for a while.

He had always imagined asking little Jeanne to be a part-time saint, after all, she knew a lot. Even today's remarks were learned by asking her to make up lessons before. Tuhuan was the first to think of himself, and he didn't know how to use his brain......

He was still thinking about when he would introduce her to the priests, but he couldn't say anything about it.

However, the priests hurriedly came to persuade him, saying that Mr. Guo, such a powerful philosopher, how could he say that people were women. They put away the painting of the saint with a mercury lamp and began to discuss the doctrine of conformity.

"Everyone." Guo Kang thought about it, but said: "I am not a professional theologian, but Miss Jeanne of the Wu Palace's palace has given me a lot of doctrinal help and guidance. If I have the chance, I can take you to visit her again. She is more talented than me in the elaboration of theories. ”

The clergy reacted differently to this, and while everyone was discussing, a young monk suddenly ran up to the door.

"Mr. Guo!" He cried out, "The princess has come to you, and told you and Mademoiselle Jeanne to meet her." ”

"Princess? Isn't that talking about Miss Jeanne? Dmitry turned around and said confusedly.

"No......" the monk turned back, "Ah, she came by herself." ”

With that, he ran away.

"Huh?"

Guo Kang instinctively felt that something was wrong, and next to him, the priests were already unhappy.

"We're here to study natural philosophy, and we've just seen so many miracles." A monk stood up and questioned, "How can a woman be allowed to enter such a sacred place?" ”

"Yes, not even a princess." The other monks agreed: "Let's go and reason with her and persuade her to leave!" ”

As he spoke, everyone stood up.

Guo Kang also looked to see what was going on, and just happened to see Theodora, who was angry for some reason, striding from the outside, followed by a few priests and retinues in the distance. The monks came to the door and asked her to stop, but she insisted on letting Guo Kang out.

Seeing that the negotiations failed, Dmitry and the others tried to close the door of the other half and let her calm down first. Theodora tried to push the other half's door, but he couldn't.

She didn't seem to notice what the bronze ball was up to, and after a few reprimands to the priests, she took a few steps back, slammed it into the door.

The copper ball slammed into two halves, and the door was thrown back, and Guo Kang, who was probing behind the door, flew aside.

"That...... Physics! A monk pointed to the copper ball on the ground in a panic: "Physics has exploded!" ”

Theodora stormed the chapel, and the monks were frightened and scurryed around.

"You're a cow!" Guo Kang got up in embarrassment: "Why do you like to hit people so much!" ”

I don't know how to segment it again. This part is just over, and there is a long ......
