Chapter 6 The Earth Is Spherical
Gao Tianlai looked at the Qin Dynasty.
"Qin Gongzi, Tian Lai visited Lingnan, and admired Qin Gongzi's means of governing the country very much, fighting local tyrants and dividing the fields, this trick can be said to have caught the pain points of the times in one fell swoop, the most powerful thing is that Qin Gongzi used the name of this fight against the local tyrants and the division of the land, those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die, and all the rules and regulations formed over the millennium, altars and jars, all the order are broken and reorganized, this means of defeating everything, Tian Lai is both admired and afraid ......"
Qin Chao's face was weird: "This old problem of Cihang Jingzhai has made ...... again."
Cihang asked is a common rule of Cihang Jingzhai, and the Qin Dynasty naturally knows that such a day will come again, but it is just ......
"Fairy Gao, of course I understand your scruples, it is indeed ...... that the central government is too strong. "Using the same governance method as the founding of New China in later generations, Cihang Jingzhai can see the big wrong, and the Qin Dynasty knows the history even more clearly, almost all the countries that adopt socialist governance in later generations either collapse, or cannot develop, or fall into the terror of power **** like North Korea, and only countries like China, Vietnam and other countries can come out, but this one comes out......
Such a government has the ability to 'concentrate on big things' and is able to ......
The upper and lower levels were integrated, and the grassroots organizations responded quickly, and the greatest strength avoided the far ...... of the mountain emperor
...... in terms of the allocation of resources
Although the socialist system of later generations is unsatisfactory in some aspects, but its advantages are also extremely prominent, and there are countless groups of experts in later generations to study these political systems, although the Qin Dynasty did not do this, but history still has to be learned, and what will happen if the existing system is adopted, the Qin Dynasty, which knows history, is naturally extremely knowledgeable.
Gao Tianlai raised his doubts at first, but his eyes soon widened.
It turns out that there are so many disadvantages of this system. I didn't even notice it at all, but what Qin Gongzi said was indeed very reasonable...... Gao Tianlai and Qiu Xinmiao's expressions were solemn, although they were smart, Cihang Jingzhai also had great research in political systems and other aspects, but the limitations of the times were too great, and what they studied compared with the Qin Dynasty. Neither depth nor breadth is far off.
In the end, Gao Tianlai was fooled by the Qin Dynasty and his head was a little numb.
"Qin Gongzi, you have said so much, it means that you already have a good idea of the advantages and disadvantages of it, so it's okay to go on like this?"
"Quite the opposite. Qin Chao grinned, "If you go on like this, something will definitely happen." ”
Gao Tianlai and Qiu Xinmiao's eyes widened.
"Then why do you have to ...... Isn't it true that you are like ......"
"I'm not a devil. Qin Chao smiled brightly, "Doesn't Fairy Gao know that it will move at the right time, this system is only suitable for the present, and after the foundation of the national economy is laid." It is time to emancipate the mind and carry out reforms, and then it is necessary to adopt another system. ”
Gao Tianlai smiled bitterly: "No wonder my master hates you to the core, you are really unreassuring." ”
After Gao Tianlai arrived, soon Cihang Jingzhai's army also arrived, and then one by one to participate in the Tai Chi class, what gave the Qin Dynasty a headache was that the Yin Sect, Cihang Jingzhai, Huajian and Demon Xiangzong almost all poured out, and a month passed in a blink of an eye. On this day, the Tai Chi class officially opened, and naturally all the members of the Tai Chi Club taught this class. The Qin Dynasty just went up to the opening ceremony to show his face, lectured a few words, and disappeared directly.
Telegraph room.
"This will be posted in the next issue!"
"The Theory of the Movement of Heavenly Bodies" Ah Bi's eyes lit up, she had long known that the Qin Dynasty had written such a good thing, Ah Bi connected it, and her eyes swept away. The mouth pouted: "Childe, how do you sign it as ......"
"Abi, don't be careful, your son-in-law has a lot of good things, and signing someone else's name is also for the sake of the martial arts world. Qin Chao walked out the door.
"For the sake of the martial arts world, lie to the kids!" Ah Bi pouted.
The next day, a new issue of the newspaper "New Youth" was launched.
In the teahouse, Qiao Yuanwai smiled and took the newspaper from the newspaper seller. Returned to his seat and put the knife on the table again, then opened the newspaper and flipped through it, after getting the newspaper, he first looked through Qin Xianao's novel serials, and then looked at Qin Xianao's other columns It was Qiao Hai's habit, this time was no exception, Qiao Hai first looked at the pages one by one, and suddenly he was stunned.
"The Theory of the Movement of the Heavenly Bodies?"
"Astronomy is ......" Qiao Hai was a little frightened about purely academic things, and astronomy is the most profound truth in the world, but Qiao Hai looked at the signature under this article.
"Liu Qin's knowledge is no less than that of Mr. Yichuan, Qin Xianao, and Duan Haifeng, he hasn't published a new article for a long time, this time he writes about astronomical ......" Qiao Hai was a little more interested, and even glanced down.
"I, Qin Xianao, once left a question when I published the junior high school "Physics" textbook in the newspaper last time, what can I do with that physics knowledge?"
Qin Xianao's foreword?
Qiao Hai suddenly became interested.
"There was a famous saying in the country of immortals, 'Knowledge is power, knowledge is money!', learning, the more natural science learning, the more useful it is......
"We learned what the knowledge of sound can do, musical instruments, except for musical instruments......
"And what are the wonderful ideas for understanding the nature of matter......
Qiao Hai shuddered and stared at the words in the newspaper, here when Qin Xianao said what the knowledge of "Physics" can be used for, he gave an example in the "State of Matter", highly liquor.
"Wine can still do this, steam the wine, and then cool it ......" Qiao Hai's breathing was heavy, he was a northerner, he liked wine the most, and he liked spirits, but no matter how strong the wine in the world was, he felt indifferent and tasteless.
"If this method really works, then I ......"
"No, this method will definitely work! Although such wine has never appeared, it is impossible for Qin Xian Ao Gongzi to speculate. ”
Qiao Hai swallowed his saliva, if it weren't for the fact that he still had important things to do on this trip, he would have rushed home immediately to do the experiment.
After looking at the example of Qin Xianao's super strong liquor, Qiao Hai was a little less interested when he looked down, but Qin Xianao didn't give any more examples below, but talked about the knowledge in "Physics" that can be used to discover the truth of astronomy.
Qiao Hai looked down by inertia.
"The earliest theory of celestial bodies that I know is the end of Yin and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, and its saying is called 'Gaitian Theory', that is, the sky is round and the place is round, and it is believed that 'the sky is round like a cover, and the place is like a chess game'......"
Here is the preface to the text of Liu Qin's "Theory of the Movement of Heavenly Bodies", the convention. It's nothing more than how to discover the weirdness of celestial bodies, and then I have conjectures, and then one day I saw Qin Xianao's 'Optical Chapter', and I suddenly felt ...... It is about how to discover the truth of celestial bodies step by step, and the preface is followed by the main text.
Qiao Hai's eyes widened again.
"Is the earth spherical?" Qiao Hai was stunned.
Wang Anshi, who lived in the middle of the mountain, sat behind the donkey and looked at the newspaper in his hand, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Interesting." Liu Qin actually wrote "The Theory of the Movement of Heavenly Bodies", and Qin Xianao also advertised for her, huh?
Wang Anshi's eyes narrowed: "Keep steaming, and then cooling, you can get spirits, the more you steam and cook, the stronger it becomes?" Is that really the case?" Wang Anshi shook his head, "It seems that I have to go back and give it a try." He continued to look down and soon saw Liu Qin's preface. His face was solemn.
"I read Qin Xianao's optical chapter, and used its principle to make a thing called a 'telescope', which can magnify distant places and ......."
Telescopes, devices that can see things in the distance?
How does this work?
Wang Anshi's face was a little ugly, although he didn't attach much importance to 'optics', but Liu Qin could make a telescope after seeing it, which was used to observe the celestial phenomena, and he Wang Anshi lost it when he saw it. It is still unknown how the telescope was made.
"I used a telescope to observe the sun, moon and stars, and I made an amazing discovery......," Wang Anshi read the preface with a calm face. Only then did he look at the text.
"Chapter 1: The universe is spherical. ”
"We know that the most perfect shape in philosophy is a sphere, which does not require interfaces, and is a whole ...... that can neither increase nor subtract"
Orbicular?
Wang Anshi pursed his lips, this is nothing new.
"Even individual parts of the universe, like the moon, the sun. The stars all appear to be spherical, and even all things tend to be surrounded by such boundaries, like individual water droplets and other liquids, so no one can doubt that the universe should be shaped this way. ”
Wang Anshi frowned slightly. There is nothing to say that the universe is spherical, but this proves that the moon and stars are also spherical?
Liu Qin is still a step behind, there is no difference between this kind of argument and not. Wang Anshi looked at the next chapter.
"The earth is also spherical because it squeezes ...... in all directions towards the center"
"For a traveler heading north from anywhere, the rotating celestial pole rises and ...... on Sunday"
Wang Anshi's face was ugly.
"Is the earth spherical?"
"This Liu Qin said that we live on the same ball?"
In astronomy at this time, there are 'Hun Tian Theory', 'Gai Tian Theory', 'Xuan Ye Theory', although Gai Tian Theory is the mainstream among the people at the bottom, but how can a smart person like Wang Anshi not see that Gai Tian Theory has many errors that cannot be justified, therefore, 'Hun Tian Theory' is the real mainstream.
In the Hun Tian theory, the earth is round, which can be bowl-shaped, not spherical as Liu Qin said here.
"Thus the earth is neither flat nor drum-shaped, nor bowl-shaped, nor concave or columnar, nor is it an infinite extension of the lower edge, as some advocate, and the thickness is reduced towards the bottom. ”
"The true shape of the earth is the perfect sphere as advocated in philosophy and geometry!"
Liu Qin's "Theory of the Movement of Celestial Bodies" only contains three chapters in this issue, namely, the universe is spherical, the earth is also spherical, and how the earth and water form a perfect sphere.
After reading it in one go, Wang Anshi's face was gloomy as ink.
Subversion!
This time it's a real subversion of astronomy as a whole, just this subversion......
"Fortunately, it's just a conjecture, although this Liu Qin's argument is very reasonable, but it is not invulnerable, on the contrary, just give an example to fight back, but she is only the first three chapters of "The Theory of the Movement of Heavenly Bodies", the whole book is just the tip of the iceberg, and the back ......" Wang Anshi folded the newspaper, sat on the donkey and staggered, and after a while, his eyes flashed with excitement.
"Liu Qin thinks that the earth is a ball, Qin Xianao published her article in the newspaper, could it be that Qin Xianao is also?"
"But it's obviously impossible, why they?"
"Interesting, it seems that there is a good show to watch again!" Wang Anshi is very clear that academic astronomy of any school is a very important part of the academic school, and Confucianism, which dominated the rivers and lakes because of the 'heaven and man induction', astronomy is the most important, and the Confucian view is a combination of the 'Hun Tian Theory'.
