Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 126

Tangning mentioned many common phenomena in bits and pieces.

The downward force generated by the earth has always existed, how much is that force?Can it be calculated?

When thunder strikes in rainy days, the lightning is always seen first, and then the thunder is heard. Why is this?

Human eyes are so small, yet they can see very large things. Why is this?

Why do we see ourselves in the mirror upside down?
Why is there day and night?Why are the days and nights different in spring, summer, autumn and winter?

All the problems encountered in life were thrown out by Tangning without reservation.

Not to mention those ordinary people, even those with status on the stage, it is difficult to answer.

Originally, a hemisphere experiment in Chaozhou Prefecture could be completed in an hour, but Tangning spent more than an hour pouring out a lot of new knowledge.

He knows that there may be no one who can really understand, including himself.

He can only say that he understands the truth of these phenomena, but he cannot study the essence through the phenomena.

However, Tangning didn't need everyone to understand so quickly. He spent so much energy on this hemisphere experiment and talked so much.

The purpose is to use his influence, with some of what he knows, to open a new door to people who are willing to accept new ideas.

Of the nearly [-] people who came here today, even if only a hundred or even ten were willing to accept these ideas and start to study them, Tangning felt it was worth it.

As for the others, their greater role is to spread what happened today to the entire Ming Dynasty, so as to attract more people with lofty ideals to come to Chaozhou Prefecture and this different place.

Chaozhou Mansion will gradually become the ideological and cultural center of Ming Dynasty and the forefront of science and technology. Tangning, who has created all of this, will also gain benefits that are impossible to obtain through force.

It was not until noon that a vigorous Chaozhou hemispheric experiment finally came to an end.

The experiment is over, but the rest of the discussion about the experiment, as well as the many new things that Tang Ning said, will become people's favorite topics of conversation for a long time to come.

During this period, some people may approve of it, and more people may criticize it.

The transformation of people's thinking and the recognition of new knowledge have never been smooth sailing, and some great pioneers even paid the price of their lives for this.

But any resistance can not stop the progress of human beings.

Just like today, the Chaozhou hemispheric experiment proved the existence of atmospheric pressure. This is a great experimental achievement, and it is the wealth of all mankind. All the Jesuits present thought so.

They can imagine that the influence of this experiment is no less than that of Galileo's free fall experiment at the Leaning Tower of Pisa more than 50 years ago.

In fact, what they don't know is that in Europe, atmospheric pressure has been studied by Galileo and his student Torricelli.

However, Galileo passed away two years ago, so Torricelli is the main researcher on atmospheric pressure now.

Just this year, in 1644, Torricelli will invent the mercury barometer and measure the standard atmospheric pressure, but there are still very few people who know about it.

It is more normal for these people who are far away in Asia to not know the atmospheric pressure.

As for the well-known Magdeburg hemispheric experiment that proved the existence of atmospheric pressure, according to the official history, it will take more than ten years to start.

I'm sorry, I was born earlier than I was in time travel, and Tangning shamelessly plagiarized me.

It is very interesting that when Otto von Glick proved the existence of atmospheric pressure through the Magdeburg hemisphere experiment, he realized that it had been proved by Torricelli 11 years ago.

You know, one of them is in Germany and the other is in Italy, the distance is so close, and the transmission of news is so incomprehensible.

According to this situation, when Otto von Glick completed the Magdeburg hemispheric experiment more than ten years later to prove the existence of atmospheric pressure, he would not only know that the atmospheric pressure had been proved by Torricelli.

What's more, he would know that more than ten years ago, in the ancient eastern country thousands of miles away, someone had already conducted a hemispheric experiment in Chaozhou Prefecture, which was exactly the same as his experiment.

People who don't know the inside story will definitely think that he, Otto von Glick, imitated the Chaozhou government hemispheric experiment. Where is the reasoning for this?
As for Newton, who discovered gravitation, sorry, he was born only last year, and he may just learn to walk now.

Today, Tang Ning also explained some concepts of gravity. As for who discovered the law of universal gravitation in the future, Tang Ning could do nothing.

Even if he stood on the shoulders of giants, he still couldn't touch these great discoveries. The world of scumbags was like this, and being able to tell so many theories was the limit.

However, among all the people present today, no one dared to think that Mr. Tang Ning was a scumbag.

All of them, including those well-learned Jesuits, Song Yingxing and Fang Yizhi, the principal and vice presidents of Chaozhou College, all thought that Mr. Tang was well-educated and talented.

Because of this, whenever there is an opportunity in the future, the two principals, Song Yingxing and Fang Yizhi, will sincerely invite Tangning to the academy to give lectures.

Chaozhou College was established by him, Tang Ning. If it was someone else's business, he could find a reason to evade it, but he had to fill in the hole he dug himself.

There was no other way, Tangning could only rack her brains to recall the mathematics, physics and chemistry courses she advocated. This was more difficult than fighting a bad battle.

But fortunately, the response to each lecture is not bad, and some students still transfer or take these three subjects concurrently for this reason.

Because they learned a lot of interesting new knowledge from this young teacher Tang.

Teacher Tang not only teaches theoretical knowledge, but also likes to do some interesting experiments. The lectures are very lively, which arouses everyone's interest in physics, especially chemistry.

Of course, these are all things to follow.

On the second day of the hemispheric experiment in Chaozhou Prefecture, Tangning quickly carried out the school popularization plan in Chaozhou and Huizhou with the help of this shareholders.

This plan had been in place since the establishment of Chaozhou College, but Tangning felt that the timing was not right, so it has been delayed until now.

The decree stipulates that children aged 12 and under must go to school, regardless of whether they are boys or girls, otherwise their parents will be required to serve corvee as punishment.

In order to further reduce the resistance of the people, these children were exempted from all expenses, and a meal was also provided at noon.

Officials at all levels should also regard this matter as a top priority to supervise, the construction of the school must meet the standards, and the qualifications of the teachers must be guaranteed...

It can be said that Tangning has devoted the most energy and financial resources to the development of education in the area under her jurisdiction.

But Tang Ning felt that all of this was worthwhile, because in the future, all aspects of development would require technical and professional support from the talents of Chaozhou University.

In other words, no matter what era it is, talents are always the most precious wealth.

Tangning was very relieved to see that Chaozhou Mansion was slowly getting on the right track under her step-by-step plan.

But he knows that all this is just the beginning, and there is still a long way to go.
