Huggins took a marker and added, "Now, let's visually look so big as to define a little bit of the center of this approximate circle." Then mark the dot farthest from the center of the circle. ”

He said and did it, and the whole process was quite interesting. All the students looked at him with fascination, and Yang Yi was no exception.

Soon, many points were marked on the membrane. "Now, all we have to do is connect them together in a smooth arc," Huggins said. Look, what is this?"

He held the film high, and the students burst into applause. The dots on the film are connected by a smooth arc, and they are really a circle. And it's also a standard round!

“Thankyou! Thankyou! It’smypleasure.” Huggins bowed gracefully on stage and said with a smile: "Let's watch it more interesting." ”

"Since the center of the circle was visually inspected, now that we have a circle in the true sense, we can determine the exact center of the circle by the right-angle positioning method. ”

Anyone who has learned geometry in this method draws a right-angled triangle with three vertices and the outside of the garden, and then draws the intersection point of the perpendicular bisector of the three sides, and the point that intersects is the center of the circle.

The exact center of the circle was marked, and Huggins smiled and asked, "Who can tell me what kind of building is at this point?" Ji Lianyun tapped the edge of the table with a ball pen, and suddenly remembered that there was really a building at this point, and shouted: "St. Hubble's Cathedral!"

"That's right!" Hutchinson looked at him appreciatively, and Ji Lianyun smiled a little proudly.

Huggins said: "Here, in order to study the interesting geographical phenomenon of Sakie. I have an unreasonable request, and I ask for your forgiveness. The invasion of China back then was indeed ours, and I apologize for the crimes committed by my ancestors. Now let's talk about St. Hubble's Cathedral. ”

The polite demeanor and sincere apology moderately prevented the angry youth who had turned into radicals due to national contradictions.

Huggins continued: "The Opium War broke out in 1840, and the Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion of China was in 1900, when religious movements were at its worst. It can be said that in the history before 1840, China was the world of Buddhism and Taoism, and it was difficult for foreign cultures to invade the land of China, which had a strong feudal color. ”

The first phase of St. Hubble's Cathedral was completed in 666 AD. Who is the emperor of the year?"

The girl said timidly: "It seems to be Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, and the country name is Qianfeng." ”

"Tell us about the big events of that year. ”

The girl settled down, about the elective ancient Chinese history, at first a little hesitant, the more the more fluent she became: "According to the historical records, in the first year of Qianfeng in 666 (Bingyin), Gaozong went to Mount Tai to seal Zen, to Qufu to worship Confucius, and to Bozhou to respect Laozi as Emperor Taishang Xuanyuan. In April, he returned to Beijing. In May, the treasure money of the dry seal was cast. In June, Goryeo Quan Gai Suwen died, and the sons were divided. In October, Li Ji was appointed as the chief of the Liaodong march to conquer Goryeo. ”

"Very hardworking students, like my daughter Maria. Hutchinson smiled approvingly, and said: "In fact, this year, China's powerful female emperor Wu Zetian has begun to gradually take power, and Li Zhi has been left behind. And in this year, Christianity did not even have time to split into Roman Catholicism and Neo-Orthodoxy, and its influence in the West was not so far-reaching, how did it get to the East, and the churches that were built here? It's interesting, isn't it?"

Yang Yi lowered his head and thought about it, and had to admit that according to Huggins's conjecture, the more he thought about it, the more suspicious he felt.

"If you have time, you can continue to study and research, and you will find that what Li Zhi has done in this year has actually reached the level that you Oriental people describe as being called Great Enlightenment. Saying something that doesn't sound good, and using more vulgar words, is called arranging the aftermath. Wu Zetian, on the other hand, was busy seizing power, and both of them had no skills to build this church, and the only possibility was Li Ji, who was on an expedition to Goryeo. ”

According to the official history, after the death of Gai Suwen in Goryeo Quan, the son of the prince was the son of Mo Lizhi, but he was forced by the second brother Nanjian and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Gao sect sent Qi Yu He Li, Pang Tongshan and others to attack Goguryeo and rescue the spring boys. Then, Tang Gaozong took Li Ji as the general manager of the Liaodong Provincial March, commanded all the armies, and divided the ways to attack Goguryeo. Then, Li Ji captured Xincheng, an important military town of Goguryeo, and took advantage of the situation to capture all 16 nearby cities; Xue Rengui defeated the Goguryeo army at Jinshan, beheaded more than 50,000 ranks, captured the three cities of Nansu, Mudi, and Cangyan, and joined forces with the Quanboy Army; Li Ji and others captured Buyeo City and captured more than 10,000 people, and more than 40 cities in Fuyu Sichuan also surrendered, and then fought Xue Heshui and captured more than 30,000 people, taking advantage of the victory to capture Daxing City. I won't talk about the rest later, but in the spring and summer of 668, the Tang armies from all walks of life met and advanced to Yalu Gate. ”

The history of the Tang Dynasty and the history of Goryeo in ancient China around 666 years ago is undoubtedly quite shocking when it is talked about endlessly in the vernacular from the mouth of a foreigner. The students were speechless when they listened, ashamed that what they had learned was not as good as a foreigner.

But Huggins summed it up after listening to the worst: "These are not important, the important thing is that according to the records of the wild history, the whole battle can be said to be a succession of great victories, whether it was surrendered or captured, all of them were secretly sent here to become coolies for the construction of St. Hubble's Cathedral! With the transportation conditions at that time, the people who arrived here also died, but the overall estimate was no less than 50,000. Fifty thousand people is not a small number now, but what did these people do? For what purpose, and what did they intend to do? Where did they disappear after the last death? Why did this cathedral, which is incompatible with Taoism and Buddhism, built and not recorded in history? If the wild history is true, this will certainly be counted as one of the mysteries of the ages. ”

Yang Yi was fascinated by this, and vaguely felt that he had grasped something, but when he thought about it carefully, he seemed to have found nothing, so he felt irritated and unbearable, as if he had lost an important clue.

Hutchinson continues: "The scale of the construction in early 666 was not small, and the area at that time was almost 1,600 square meters. It was then expanded in 1332 and 19983, and its area has reached 3,122 square meters. If you carefully calculate, which of the world's most famous churches can reach a scale of more than 3,000 square meters, which one is obscure? It seems reasonable, but it doesn't make sense, right?"

One male student said: "Generally speaking, silence means hiding something, at least in criminal psychology. What is St. Hubble's Church hiding?

Yang Yi's heart moved, and he faintly felt that it would be more appropriate to replace hiding with guarding. It's just that what are these ascetics guarding?

Unconsciously took a pen and wrote on the paper the time of the first construction and the two subsequent renovations of St. Hubble's church, which were 666, 1332, and 1998, respectively, and the three numbers were subtracted from each other, and the years between them were exactly the years of the first year, 666 years.

Interesting coincidence.

What is the special significance of the first construction in 666 A.D. and the expansion at an interval of 666 years? Yang Yi turned his pen and pondered.
