The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Imperial College in Beijing.

Since Dong Dezhang was promoted to Jijiu, he respected scholars and recruited celebrities. Even Ms. Ma Pengying was poached from the Imperial College in Peking. Mrs. Ma Pengying and her family returned to the capital to live in the capital, where they taught Ph.D.

Doctors are mainly responsible for researching their own knowledge, supplemented by teaching, while professors are mainly responsible for teaching. The division of labor between the two is different.

As a master of astronomy, Madam Ma Pengying's reputation is naturally far-reaching, and she has many disciples. Except for some who have left the Imperial College, most of them continue to do research with Madam Ma Pengying.

The Imperial College has a high status and a high salary, so few people are willing to leave unless there is a better place to go.

The astronomical telescope at the observatory. Dai Guowei, a disciple of Mrs. Ma Pengying, has been following astronomy for several years, and because of the reputation of his mentor, he has received a lot of funding. He has not only been to seven western provinces, but also to Bonidus. I have also been to the far north of Nurgan.

The discovery of the equator, which has re-quantified the longitude and latitude of various places, is the achievement of the Imperial College in Peking, and the Imperial College in Beijing is naturally not to be far behind.

Through intensive communication methods such as technical newspapers, technical departments and scientific conferences, and integrating other people's research results, Dai Guowei published a paper with the help of his mentor.

"I observed the celestial phenomena, measured the movements of the sun and the moon, and deeply understood the great ways of heaven and earth. The movements of the planets all have certain laws. This law is the secret of heaven and cannot be created by human beings. I said to open the three laws of astronomy. This law reveals The radius and period of the orbit of a planet around the sun are proportional to the area swept by it and the hour. No matter how big or small the star is, it all follows this law. This is the avenue of heaven and earth, and the order of the sun and the moon."

"Since sorting out this law, I have peered into the mysteries of the heaven and earth and can predict the movements of the stars. This is my pride and should be admired by the world. I hope that all my compatriots can understand the true meaning of this law and appreciate the beauty of heaven and earth."

The new generation of young people are not as low-key as the older generation. In the relaxed atmosphere of the school, the new scholars seem to be more public.

Dai Guowei's paper quickly caused a sensation after it was released.

Many scholars expressed their admiration and believed that Zhang San's discovery had brought great contributions to astronomy. Others thought that Dai Guowei was too arrogant and should restrain his tone of voice.

But as time goes by, people cannot refute the three laws created by Dai Guowei. According to his invention, people can actually predict astronomical trajectories. This achievement has finally been paid more and more attention by scholars.

According to the three laws, a large number of scholars used this as their judgment. Through astronomical telescopes, they could see the mountains on the moon very early, and even judge the trajectory in advance, and observed the phenomenon of satellites orbiting Jupiter.

Not only does the earth beneath our feet have moons, but the big planets also have moons.

This further proves Mrs. Mapeng Ying's celestial theory, and other planets orbiting the sun have become the mainstream in academic circles. Some people have even asked whether the sun also orbits unknown existences.

The entire world, whether it is floating in the universe, is actually always in motion.

The master-disciple relationship between Dai Guowei and Ma Pengying is normal, but there are also alternatives.

He Hu, a relatively famous young scholar in the Ming Dynasty, had a complicated and even hostile relationship with his mentor. Although He Hu often said that he respected his mentor and was his guide, his mentor's greatest achievements were revealed by his disciples. The overthrow undoubtedly made the two masters and apprentices strangers.

In the audience, the lonely He Hu couldn't help but fell into deep thought after listening to the three principles of Dai Guowei's speech.

He had some preliminary ideas. If these three laws of phenomena could be explained by the gravity theory he proposed, then many unexplainable phenomena would suddenly become clear.

Thinking of this, he could no longer sit still and returned home immediately after the speech.

In the small two-story building, when He Hu returned home, he said hello to his mother, then went up to the second floor and closed the door to the study.

Seventh Sister showed helpless eyes.

When she was young, she was worried that her son would be useless. Unexpectedly, her naughty and mischievous son suddenly became enlightened. However, her son, who was bent on pursuing knowledge, had not yet gotten married, and Qimei became worried again.

The son cannot help his mother, and Qimei is not a traditional woman. Although she has many thoughts in her heart, she does not force her son.

The seventh sister, who has left the Peking Grand Theater, now lives with her son and takes care of his food. She has no other aspirations. She only hopes to see her son get married in her lifetime.

He Hu rolled out a clean blackboard, thought for a while, and built a model in his mind, trying to connect these three laws.

After some thinking and deduction, repeated writing and correction, and no one knows how long it took, He Hu finally found a perfect explanation.

The moon's gravitational pull on the earth not only causes the earth's rotation to slow down, but also causes changes in the flow of materials inside the earth and the movement of plate plates.

Changes in the Earth's rotation speed will cause changes in the strength of the magnetic field, because the magnetic field is generated by metallic elements inside the Earth.

These factors interact and restrict each other, forming a complex system.

In order to better illustrate his point of view, He Hu tried to cite the movement relationship between the moon, the earth and the tides.

"The moon's gravitational pull on the Earth causes tidal phenomena in water bodies on the Earth, and the tides in turn affect the Earth's rotation speed and magnetic field strength."

"This is because the generation of tides will cause the redistribution of materials inside the Earth, causing changes in plate motion and changes in magnetic field strength. This interaction and influence makes the entire system more complex and magical."

He Hu's paper caused an unprecedented sensation in the academic circle.

Because He Hu's views really shocked people, overturning everyone's three views formed over thousands of years.

It turns out that floods, sea waves, earthquakes, wind and rain, etc. are all natural scientific phenomena.

Fortunately, the religion of the Ming Dynasty was not strong enough. On the contrary, the status of literati was higher. Therefore, although the monks and Taoist priests found ways to oppose and tried to refute He Hu's teachings, more scholars were impressed by He Hu's talent and imagination. Impressed.

Even young scholar Dai Guowei said excitedly: "I always thought that my three laws were unsolvable mysteries, but now it seems that I was wrong. He Hu's theory of gravity provides us with a brand new perspective. Let us re-understand the mysteries of this world.”

Scientific methodology has become the consensus of the Ming Dynasty academic community. Under this criterion, He Hu's theory is too perfect. Although there are still many shortcomings, people cannot overturn it.

The mystery of the entire universe is opened before people's eyes.

It turned out to be the case.

It turned out to be so.

He Hu's teacher took the initiative and said, "I am not as good as my disciples." The reconciliation of the master-disciple relationship became a good talk.

Since then, He Hu's name has been widely spread in the academic world, and he has gone from being a famous scholar to being an academic figure. At this time, He Hu was less than thirty years old.

His theory of gravity has been cited and studied by more and more scholars, and has become a frontier field that has attracted much attention. He Hu himself has also continued to explore this field in depth, hoping to make greater contributions to the understanding and exploration of the natural world. big contribution.

"The door to science has been opened, and from now on it is the world of science."

The front-page headlines in the technical newspapers gave the monks and Taoist priests a headache, and they did not even dare to harass He Hu.

Thousands of years of superstition have been completely defeated by science, even if the secular world still believes in superstition.

Soon, Dai Guowei calculated the comet's return date based on the new formula. The comet was named Dai Guowei's Comet. Although scholars knew that they would not survive that day, future generations could prove this great discovery. .

If future generations confirm this one day, the status of science will never be shaken. People call this year the year of planetary discovery.

A small hole is cut into the wall of a dark house facing the sun. A person stands outside facing the hole. Under the sunlight, an inverted figure appears on the corresponding wall inside the house.

"Mo Jing" explains: "People with light are like shooting, those who are lower are also higher, and those who are higher are also lower." This means that light passing through a small hole is like shooting an arrow, it proceeds in a straight line, and people The person's head blocks the light coming from above, forming a shadow below, and the person's feet blocks the light coming from below, forming a shadow above, thus forming a reflection.

This is an experiment done by ancient people thousands of years ago.

One of the examples mentioned by natural scientist Tao Yi in his speech the year before last year has become a well-known story through newspapers.

"Light has color."

This discovery is more than a simple optical phenomenon.

Hidden behind it are the basic laws of nature and the mystery of light and shadow. He Hu reached a bottleneck on the road of gravity and quickly changed his research direction, hoping that through more disciplinary research, they would eventually complement each other.

Among the famous research results in recent years, He Hu finally chose one of Tao Yi's results. As a result, he began to devote himself to the research of optics, trying to reveal more secrets of light and shadow.

He conducted many experiments with simple equipment to continuously verify and improve his theory.

He discovered that the shape, size and position of the reflection produced by light passing through a small hole are related to the relative position between the light source, the small hole and the receiving plane. Unlike their ancestors, today's scholars are accustomed to studying the laws and mysteries.

With the passage of time, optical theory has been studied by more people, and more and more scholars have begun to pay attention to this field, and have conducted in-depth research and discussions on this basis.

He Hu and others used Mozi's research as a basis to try to deduce the theory to explain many natural phenomena in order to promote the development of science and technology.

Although the experiments of the ancients have been proven, He Hu is not satisfied with this.

He is well aware that there are still many unknown areas in the field of optics waiting for people to explore, and the current research results still have many directions that can be further explored. Therefore, he put his theory into practice and worked with craftsmen to try to develop More advanced optical instruments.

Although the optical instrument he requested was not manufactured, the craftsmen unexpectedly produced a microscope.

The microscope became one of He Hu's inventions. The academic community was once again shocked by He Hu. People were discussing He Hu and were shocked by the function of the microscope, but He Hu was not satisfied.

And the starting point of it all is the dark cabin and the small hole cut out, which comes from Mozi.

“Superstitions are true or false.”

Like many famous scholars, He Hu couldn't help but waver because of bottlenecks in various experiments. He was like a mouse that couldn't find a way out. The phenomenon that the ancients could discover thousands of years ago was like a circle. Not only other scholars recalled Reaching the starting point, He Hu also felt deeply that he had returned to the dot.

It's like there is an invisible big hand in the sky, playing with the tiny human beings.

He Hu invented many theories, but each theory returned to its starting point when deepened.

"The son is silent and his strange power confuses the gods."

He Hu murmured.

This is another dot. Have the sages already discovered it?

"Boom."

"Wow."

There was a loud noise in the sky, and lightning fell from the sky and struck the lightning crane of the bell tower. The builders were intact, leaving only the charred crane.

He Hu looked at the scene from the balcony with disheveled hair.

The Tang Dynasty book "Zhihuzi" recorded such an incident: During the Han Dynasty, the Bailiang Palace suffered a fire. A wizard suggested that a fishtail-shaped copper tile be placed on the top of the floor to prevent lightning. Caused by heavenly fire.

The fishtail-shaped tiles on the roof actually serve as lightning protection and can be considered the prototype of modern lightning rods. As early as in the past, China already had lightning rods, usually decorated with dragon heads, with lightning rod heads in the dragon's mouth.

The French traveler Cabriolet Demagalin wrote in his 1688 book "New Events in China": At both ends of the roof of China, there is a raised dragon head, with a twisting metal tongue spitting out from the dragon's mouth, stretching towards the sky. The base of the tongue is connected to a thin wire that leads directly to the ground.

This wonderful device shows its magical power when lightning occurs. If lightning hits a house, the current will travel from the dragon tongue to the ground to prevent lightning from destroying the building.

"Energy conservation law."

This word suddenly appeared in He Hu's mind.

The law of conservation of energy is a hypothesis deduced by He Hu from Wang Yugong's theory of Wang Qi. So where is this huge energy transferred?

The world seems like a fog.

It seems like you can go anywhere, but there are barriers everywhere.

He Hu tried to walk in different directions one by one, hoping to reach the end. There would be nothing in the world more attractive than science.

He Hu, who had enough food and clothing and was taken care of since he was a child, has experienced many things and is now a respected scholar. The hobbies of ordinary people cannot attract He Hu. He is like a devout believer.

The Imperial College is like a semi-closed society.

He Hu pursued his knowledge.

And outside the Ming Dynasty.

Ouchi Yoshihiro of the Gonu Kingdom died, and the situation in the Japanese Kingdom became tense.

There were constant small-scale wars between the Xuanwei Division of Myanmar and the vassal states of Siam and Sukhothai. The seven western provinces were also not peaceful. Another civil uprising occurred in the vassal state of Koryo. There was a rebellion in the vassal states of the Golden Horde. Ottoman and Timur His descendants started a war.

Due to the internal changes in the Ming Dynasty, some places gradually became unstable.

The ideological debate that had been easing for many years began to rear its ugly head again.

As the territory of the Ming Dynasty expanded and the situation became increasingly complex, Zhu Gaochi had only one request, that all prerequisites remain stable.

When the grandson returned to Beijing from the north, he got married within a few months, and Zhu Gaochi's eldest daughter also got married.

Zhu Di is sick.

Zhu Di, who came back from Nanyang for the second time, was not in good health. After a long period of recuperation, he survived the winter but did not get better, which cast a shadow on Zhu Gaochi's heart. (End of chapter)
