Chapter 9 The earth goes around the sun

Behind a half-man-high boulder on a hillside full of man-tall reeds, a white-haired, thin old man squatted on the ground and drew a mirror image with a wooden branch.

"Liu Qin turned out to do this!"

Shen Kuo laughed heartily, dancing with his hands, and even the laughter was so loud that a figure in the distance of the mountain shot like an arrow without noticing.

"Laughing, what's so funny!" The cold voice sounded, Shen Kuo shuddered, and the smile stiffened on his face, and then he slowly turned to look at Mrs. Zhang, with a timid look on his face, "Madam, this ...... I finally figured out how Liu Qin's telescope was made. ”

"Really?" Mrs. Zhang's eyes lit up.

Shen Kuo suddenly became a lot bolder: "Madam, you must use completely transparent crystals to make this thing, Madam, can you help me ......"

"Shen Cunzhong, can't you use anything other than crystal?" Mrs. Zhang's face sank. Shen Kuo suddenly shrunk his neck, but he couldn't speak.

Mrs. Zhang's face was even more ugly: "Look at your nest, you still claim to be erudite and talented, a little girl can make a clairvoyant mirror after reading Qin Xianao's optics, you are good, elm head, I just figured it out now, why do you have to use crystal?"

"Because light can only be refracted through crystals......" Shen Kuolian explained, Mrs. Zhang listened to a few words, and her brows furrowed even more: "Mrs. Ben doesn't have the heart to pay attention to these messy principles, the crystal can be brought for you, anyway, I should have this thing in the Huajian faction, but after getting it, if you make a mistake, don't blame the old lady for being ruthless." ”

"It can't be wrong!" Shen Kuo's eyes shone with confidence.

"That's good, by the way, the treasure that Qin Gongzi gave you, are you familiar with it?" Mrs. Zhang asked in a deep voice.

"You mean those nine books?" Shen Kuo lowered his head, the last time Mrs. Zhang gave Shen Kuo a new task, asking Shen Kuo to ask the Qin Dynasty to teach him the secret of the secret of longevity, Shen Kuo was unhappy in his heart. But under Mrs. Zhang's obscenity, where dare he be the master?

Mrs. Zhang spoke, and he Shen Kuo had to do it even if he was not happy, so Shen Kuo wrote a very humble letter to the Qin Dynasty.

As a result, the Qin Dynasty quickly gave a reply letter, and Shen Kuo suddenly had that letter in his mind.

"The Longqiu monks are also pitiful, talking about sleepless nights. Suddenly, I heard the roar of the master of Hedong. The cane fell into the palm of his hand and ...... blankly"

Qin Xian Ao first laughed at Shen Kuo in his letter, saying that with the character of Lord Shen that I know, you will definitely not write such a letter, so this matter must be caused by your wife.

This teasing remark made Shen Kuo embarrassed and admired, Qin Shengchao could even guess this kind of thing, and the content behind the letter was Qin Xianao's views on the longevity formula, and one of them was that the various algorithms of the longevity recipe were ripe. It is of great significance to the recipe for longevity, and sends nine volumes of the recipe for longevity, so that Shen Kuo not only has to read, but also has to get various types of questions inside, others can come up with one at random, and you can give the answer in the blink of an eye.

Shen Kuo didn't believe these very much, but Shen Kuo didn't believe it, and he couldn't bear Mrs. Zhang's letter. Therefore, Shen Kuo did not have a good life.

But not long after Qin Shengchao sent the nine books to Shen Kuo, a frenzy of Tai Chi Society picking longevity fruits broke out.

"Is this frenzy because of these nine books?" Shen Kuo still doubted in his heart. At this time, Mrs. Zhang asked, and naturally she didn't dare not answer: "Madam, I ...... these nine books" Shen Kuo was careful about his words.

"Huh, Mrs. Zhang, Lord Shen, you are really here, but let me find it!" the shouts sounded in the distance.

Shen Kuo found the savior: "What's the matter?"

"Newspapers. Today is the release day of the new issue of the newspaper, and after I didn't buy it, I hurriedly sent it, but I couldn't find Lord Shen for a while, fortunately, Lord Shen laughed just now. That's why I ......" the young man rushed over.

"Newspaper?" Mrs. Zhang didn't care about interrogating Shen Kuo, so she even walked in front of the young man in a few small steps, pulled a newspaper from his hand and went down the mountain with a smile.

"Lord Shen, you ...... Are you alright?" the young man looked at Shen Kuo.

"What can it be?" Shen Kuo took the newspaper handed by the young man with a calm face, and opened it continuously, "Hey, there is "Theory of the Movement of Heavenly Bodies" again." Shen Kuo's eyes lit up.

Shen Kuo once served as the crown prince Zhongyun and promoted the heavenly eunuch, who was in charge of the astronomical calendar, during which he improved various astronomical instruments, made meticulous observations of celestial phenomena, and reformed the calendar.

Shen Kuo's achievements in astronomy are surprising and even incredible even in later generations.

Therefore, in the end of the Song Dynasty, Shen Kuo's astronomical achievements can be ranked first.

Liu Qin's "Theory of the Movement of Heavenly Bodies" is not optimistic about the entire academic community, but Shen Kuo has vaguely other ideas in his heart.

"Gaitian said, Hun Tian said, and even 'Xuanye said' are very wrong, can not explain many phenomena, but the earth is a ball is very likely, according to the Tang Dynasty monks and their entourage of measurement data, you can even know what the size of this spherical earth is. ”

"From an astronomical point of view, Liu Qin's "Theory of the Movement of Heavenly Bodies" is correct, but from other places, many theories cannot be understood, so is the earth a ball or other ......."

Shen Kuolian couldn't wait to watch this issue of "The Theory of the Movement of Heavenly Bodies".

"The motion of the celestial bodies is uniform, eternal, and circular or compound circular motion. ”

"Now it occurred to me that the motion of the celestial bodies was circular, because the motion of a sphere was to rotate in a circle......"

This time, we put aside the fact that the earth is spherical, and began to talk about how the other stars in the whole celestial body, such as metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, move and how the universe moves.

"Doing a circular motion, that's ......"

Shen Kuo's eyes flashed, "This point of view is correct, but her speculation here is that it is moving at a constant speed...... This is worth scrutinizing......" Shen Kuo continued to watch, time passed, and soon after reading this issue of "The Theory of the Movement of Heavenly Bodies", Shen Kuo fell into deep thought.

The third serialization of "The Theory of the Movement of Heavenly Bodies" also caused a sensation, and this time the sensation was not because of how unacceptable the views in it were, but because of the arguments in it, which shocked one big guy after another.

"Liu Qin has really worked this......"

"To do knowledge, to do things, to pay attention to details. The points of view, doubts, and contradictions put forward by Liu Qin are simply blind to us, but in her book, they have become some places that must be studied to truly uncover the mysteries of celestial bodies......"

"Look at the avenue in simplicity, see greatness in the ordinary. What a Liu Qin......"

The real scholars of each school in the martial arts world are thinking, thinking about the shock and doubts brought by the narratives of the "Theory of the Movement of Celestial Bodies", after all, once these are really figured out, it may be a new revolution, the revolution of the celestial body, the benefits to the entire martial arts world, and the benefits of their own sect are obvious.

I didn't think much about it before, because of the 'cognitive barrier'. Everyone turned a blind eye to those things that were wrong and felt that it was normal, as long as the "Theory of the Movement of Heavenly Bodies" was put forward this time and the things that were wrong were explained, one by one they suddenly woke up.

On the contrary, the common people were dizzy by the inferences in "The Theory of the Movement of Celestial Bodies" and lost much interest.

Soon, the fourth, fifth, and sixth issues ...... serialized in the first issue of "The Theory of the Movement of Celestial Bodies". There are more and more shocks and thoughts to the martial arts world, and finally this issue-

"What. The earth is moving, too?"

Cheng Yi pressed the newspaper hard, and his chest rose and fell violently.

"This Liu Qin is very powerful, but the conclusion she deduced is inevitably ......" Yang Shi also glared and exclaimed, "Although we all know that she is setting up a trap for Qin Xianao and Duan Haifeng, but this trick is ...... The earth revolves around the sun. This...... Who believes that?"

"Crazy, crazy!"

Wen Yanbo put down the newspaper with a wry smile, "Either I'm crazy, or Liu Qin is crazy, she wants to set up Qin Duan and the others." I also have to get a point of view that can be slightly accepted, this earth revolves around the sun, this kind of absurd point of view, Qin Xianao will believe it, Duan Haifeng will be fooled?"

Under the big tree in the backyard of Yuqing Jingzhai, a long-haired woman closed the newspaper.

"I really feel sorry for my disciple, this girl, in order to set up Qin Xianao and Duan Haifeng, she tried her best, this issue was serialized, all kinds of obscure and mysterious reasoning, and the most important thing is to launch this ridiculous view of 'the earth revolves around the sun', it's really embarrassing for her. Luo Qingchen sighed lowly.

"Master, Senior Sister Liu Qin is indeed painstaking, but if not, how could Qin Duan and the others be fooled?" said the beautiful woman beside Luo Qingchen.

"That's right. Luo Qingchen nodded.

Sima Guang in the Prime Minister's Mansion shook his head with a slight smile.

"Although Liu Qin's answer today 'the earth revolves around the sun' subverts common sense, it is precisely this kind of thing that can introduce arrogant people like Qin Xianao and Duan Haifeng into Yanzhong, but she is not easy, in order to deduce the idea of 'the earth revolves around the sun', it is really ...... The various data and logical reasoning she used a few days ago can be described as exhaustive......"

......

Because of the limitations of the times, it is impossible for "The Theory of the Movement of Celestial Bodies" to be completely convincing in terms of argumentation, but this book, which uses mathematical research and pure logical operations to deduce celestial bodies, mentions a large number of phenomena and numbers, which cannot be explained by "armillary theory" and "heavenly theory", and then puts forward various opinions in the book that make people feel ridiculous, such as "the earth is a ball, and the earth moves around the sun".

This way of reasoning and reasoning really shocked every big man in the martial arts world.

"Ruthless!"

"In order to pull Qin Xianao and Duan Haifeng into the water, Liu Qin is really hard enough!"

"This book is reasonable and modest, and the reason is very sufficient, although it can't explain many strange phenomena, but compared to any previous book on 'astronomy', it has to be more rigorous in terms of reason, if this is all for Qin Xianao and Duan Haifeng, then we ...... What are the treatises written by those of us who are really scholars?"

The arguments in a book used to set Qin Xianao and Duan Haifeng into a trap, drill the tip of the horns, and make mistakes right, are more rigorous and rigorous than formal academic arguments, and some Confucian bigwigs woke up and had a strange light in their eyes when they looked at the newspaper.

"This Yuqing Zhai Lord is really convinced by the old man this time! She should have taken the Wen Road early in the morning, and she should not have entered the Yuqing Jing Zhai to take the Wu Road!"

"She is worthy of being the master of Yuqing Zhai, this handwriting, no wonder she founded Hongmei Academy, perhaps, among our Confucian talents, she can compare with Qin Xianao and Duan Haifeng!" Although some people do not agree with the views in "The Theory of the Movement of Heavenly Bodies", they express sincere admiration for Liu Qin himself. (To be continued.) )
