"If I want to prove it to you on the spot now, I can't do it."

Faced with Old Man Zhuo's question, Jiang Xinghuo simply replied.

When Zhuo Jing heard this, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

If this most critical question cannot be proven, then neither solar parallax nor heliocentrism can be discussed.

For Zhuo Jing, this is a pity.

Why?

Naturally, it was because Old Man Zhuo was quite similar to Jiang Xinghuo's previous state, and he was bent on lying down and dying.

Zhuo Jing was not willing to surrender to Zhu Di at all, he was the one who wanted to be a loyal minister of the Dead Festival.

Therefore, Zhuo Jingsheng's thoughts have been broken, and there is nothing to be nostalgic for, it is nothing more than Zhu Di's annoyance to persuade and persuade him, and one day he will give himself a knife.

But what Dao Yan said that day aroused Zhuo Jing's interest.

What a high-minded and arrogant person Dao Yan is, Zhuo Jing, as an old opponent, naturally knows it.

Mo said that the current black-clothed prime minister, even when Dao Yan was a down-and-out monk twenty years ago, he refused to bow to anyone in terms of learning.

But Dao Yan called this person a "saint", even if Zhuo Jing had the mentality of a dying person, this still surprised him.

But now, this Jiang Xinghuo, although he has put forward the "heliocentric theory" that is enough to subvert the entire Chinese astronomical concept.

However, because it is impossible to prove the existence of this all-pervasive mysterious power emanating from the earth and attracting all things in the world, the "heliocentric theory" is still a beautiful dream bubble.

This not only made Zhuo Jing sigh with a sense of regret.

But Jiang Xinghuo changed his words and said immediately.

"But there's definitely a way to prove it."

Zheng He was a little puzzled: "How can this be proved?" ”

Zhuo Jing was also in a mood that fluctuated in an instant, from regret to surprise.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xinghuo really had a way to prove this mysterious power emanating from the earth.

"But I'm going to correct you a little."

Jiang Xinghuo spoke: "This kind of power is only the most obvious in the attraction of people and objects on the earth, but it does not mean that this power only exists in the earth. ”

"In fact, this power exists not only in the earth, but also in the stars and stars."

Zhuo Jing immediately understood: "Xiaoyou is saying that if the heliocentric theory is true, it is this power that makes gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and our earth revolve around the sun?" It is precisely because of this power emitted by the sun that the surround is formed! ”

"That's it."

Jiang Xinghuo bowed slightly, and then said words that surprised Old Man Zhuo even more.

And this power is not only present in the earth, in the stars, in fact, in all things that have mass, well, mass you can understand for a moment as weight. This includes people, trees in front of them, and even the wall. ”

Jiang Xinghuo said, pointing to the eavesdropping wall, which looked like an ordinary wall.

——————

Even that wall."

When Zhu Gaochi, who was drowsy with one hand on the chair, was awakened by the sound from the amplification wall, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Guo Jin and the two little officials of the firewood car looking like ghosts.

Zhu Gaochi rubbed his somewhat puffy eyes, and the feeling of being woken up made him inexplicably rise a trace of anger in exhaustion.

Zhu Gaochi has not had a good rest for too long, not only has to deal with government affairs but also has to balance the relationship between all parties, and at the same time, he is anxious, and various things, including the struggle for the reserve, have caused huge pressure and no one has told him at all, and he doesn't even dare to show it in front of others, so he can only suppress it in his own heart.

At this time, the nameless fire broke out, and Zhu Gaochi yelled at the two little officials.

"When is it good? Why don't you wake me up? ”

Guo Jin and the chai car didn't dare to slack off, this is a feudal society where people eat people, don't say roaring, the eldest prince just wants to cut you and no one can say anything, the two hurriedly said in staggered voices: "Your Highness, it's just right, there are only a few noises coming over."

"Did you hear what you said?"

Zhu Gaochi also understood at this time that he really shouldn't be angry with the two little officials, so his tone eased slightly.

"Say that there is an invisible force in this world that can pull the stars and make our earth revolve around the sun."

Zhu Gaochi took a deep breath and continued to ask, "What about other than these?" Is there anything else? ”

"This"

Guo and Chai hesitated for a moment and continued to speak cautiously.

"It can also make the earth absorb all things, so that they don't fall, and even all objects with mass or weight, including us, have this attraction."

"How can this really exist?!"

Zhu Gaochi lost his voice for a while.

In Zhu Gaochi's view, this is like a fantasy, or like some kind of immortal art.

But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that it seemed that it would be very logical to follow Jiang Xinghuo's thinking.

After all, if the heliocentric theory is true, then there must be some kind of force that pulls the stars such as gold, wood, water, fire, and earth to rotate with them, and there must be some kind of force that emanates from the earth and pulls everything in the world from falling.

If this is true

Even the stars in the universe, and even the sun, actually have such a property, which can pull objects towards the target, so this discovery is too amazing.

However, it is the ass that determines the head.

As the great prince and the de facto acting emperor of the Ming Empire, Zhu Gaochi realized at the first time that this new doctrine had a fundamentally destructive power on the traditional Chinese concept of "heaven and man induction".

The so-called "heaven and man induction" means that from the viewpoint that the human body is a small universe, its doctrine believes that heaven and man are of the same kind and sense each other, and that heaven can intervene in human affairs, and man can also sense heaven.

According to the doctrine of "Heaven and Man Induction", in ancient times, it was believed that the Son of Heaven violated the will of Heaven and was unkind and unjust, and there would be disasters in Heaven to condemn and warn; If the government is harmonious, the heavens will send auspicious rui to encourage.

Dong Zhongshu of the Western Han Dynasty used a set of five elements theory, such as "wood is the nature of spring, it is advisable to take agriculture as the foundation, and persuade agriculture not to take away agriculture; Fire is the nature of the summer chief, it is advisable to select the virtuous and capable, and reward the meritorious and virtuous. Jin is harvested for autumn. Water is the nature of winter storage, and it is appropriate to respect the sacrifice of the four seasons and the order of the true robe", to explain the relationship between the time of heaven and things in the world.

In this way, it is proved that there is a causal connection between natural disasters and the mistakes of rulers, and at the same time, it also finds a theoretical basis for the dignity of the monarch and his rule.

From then on, Confucianism really began to serve the ruling class, the Confucianism of the past died, and the new Confucianism was born.

"Heaven and man induction" has become the ruling ideology of China for thousands of years.

But.

Then again.

What others can think of, Jiang Xinghuo can't think of?

——————

"And this invisible force, I call it."

Jiang Xinghuo took a deep breath.

"—gravity!"

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he immediately felt refreshed.

Gravity, what a name it sounds.

"And this gravitational pull, there is a law."

"That is, the greater the mass of the object, the greater the gravitational pull between them; The farther apart the objects, the less gravitational pull there is between them. ”

At this time, Zheng He suddenly persuaded kindly.

"Otherwise, don't talk about it yet."

Zheng He knew that the emperor next door was probably listening at this time.

Gravity itself is nothing, but the problem is that it is not good for the emperor to hear it.

The reason is also simple, that is, the things that Zhu Gaochi just thought of, do not need to be repeated.

However, didn't Jiang Xinghuo know that the heliocentric theory would overthrow the "celestial and human induction" and bring great threats to the foundation of the existence of imperial power?

Jiang Xinghuo, why bother to talk about this set of gravity?

- Because as long as gravitation and heliocentrism are proved, then a white jade pillar of Cheng Zhu's worldview of science and science will be overturned by him from the base!

Thinking about it, the defenders were a little excited to find out that the world did not revolve around the "celestial induction".

As for how to go back, how to let His Majesty the Ming Emperor continue to reign supreme.

Well, there are ways to do it.

In short, in Jiang Xinghuo's planning.

If he wants to overthrow Cheng Zhu Lixue after he is released from prison, then he must use modern scientific theories and experiments that everyone can understand to prove the existence of gravity, so as to overturn the foundation of Cheng Zhu's worldview.

After all, Cheng Zhu Lixue, or all the ideas and theories of the world before modern times, are basically facing the problem of lack of empirical evidence in terms of world view.

This is Cheng Zhulixue's biggest weakness.

I can prove what I say.

And you, can't prove it!

At the same time, after thinking for a period of time (a nap), Jiang Xinghuo also believes that if you want to develop science and technology, the biggest obstacle is also Cheng Zhu Lixue's "heaven and man induction" thought.

Because Cheng Zhu Lixue's idea of "heaven and man induction" is still inherited from Dong Zhongshu's set, it has been used for thousands of years.

Dong Zhongshu started from the interpretation of the classics of Confucianism, established a set of theological world view, and made Confucianism embark on the road of religion, which is actually where Dong Zhongshu's historical status in the current Ming Dynasty is so high and practical value.

Dong Zhongshu's theological teleology of "heaven and man induction" has politically demonstrated the legitimacy and rationality of autocratic rule, and it fabricated the supremacy of heaven to establish the supreme authority of the emperor to maintain and strengthen the rule of human monarchs, which has had a great impact on the development of science and technology.

Jiang Xinghuo wants to cultivate the talents needed for science and technology and transform the Ming Dynasty, so he can't avoid facing this problem.

Because the "induction of heaven and man" basically excludes the necessity of scientific exploration in ancient times from the ideological level.

"Heaven and man induction" believes that everything in the universe, from nature to human beings and society, appears according to the will of heaven, which almost suffocates any vitality for people to explore the laws of natural phenomena and has a great hindrance to the development of science and technology.

So, at this time, I can only ask Cavendish to take permission.

"The principle is very simple, but I can't make it for you now, I'll draw a picture on the ground, and you'll understand."

Jiang Xinghuo said to do it, just do it.

PS: Thank you for the Golden Alliance reward of "Spring Rain Like Wine and Willow Like Smoke", the boss is atmospheric! There is nothing to repay, only code words!
