Aztec Eternals

The sun slanted down and the waves shone on Lake Patzcuaro. The majestic Qincongcan city stands by the lake, and the brand-new Shenwei University symbolizes a broad future.

In the ancient mythology of the Prepecha people, the Patzcuaro Lake District is the driving force of the world, and the city of Chinconcan is the center of the world. At this moment, in the words of kings and gods, and on the shoulders of giants in countless future generations, the exploration of the laws of the world by Central American civilization will be born in a new form, and the light of science will be nurtured from religious beliefs!

"I hope that one day, this place will become the origin of modern science in the entire human world!"

With a smile on his face, Shulot looked at the young apprentices under the altar, his face full of anticipation, and he thought silently in his heart. Most of these priestly apprentices were fifteen to sixty-seven years old. Their active minds are not bound by traditional thinking, and the concept of the world has not yet been formed, which is far easier to shape than adult priests...

The king pondered for a moment and announced loudly.

"My students! Whether you understand it or not, listen patiently to my teachings and learn the mysteries of the gods! When you pass out from here, you will be my students and my disciples!"

Hearing the words of the king, hundreds of apprentices collectively lost their voices for a moment, and then burst into excited cheers. Cheers resounded warmly in the university, like rolling thunder before the spring rain.

Sherlot was full of joy, looking at the warm young face, and realizing the sense of belonging as the principal. The newly born seedlings need to be nurtured and grown, and the status of disciples granted to the enlightened ones is an effective encouragement and protection.

The priest of Shenqi who was in charge of recording stepped up to the altar and respectfully handed out the recorded instructions, asking the "God's Enlightenment" to review. Xiuluo checked slightly and nodded slightly. The "mysteries of the gods" of the seven records unfolded in turn, laying the foundation for natural science. These "mysteries of the gods" seem mysterious and profound, but if they were spoken in the language of later generations, they would be concise and straightforward.

The first is that matter consists of particles. The particles are subdivided into molecules, atoms and smaller elementary particles.

The second is that different atoms form molecules in different ways, which determine the physical and chemical properties of matter.

The third article is that energy is transferred between substances, causing the substances to move and change. When the structure of molecules is changed by energy, the physical and chemical properties of matter will also change.

Fourth, energy is released in the form of heat, which follows the second law of thermodynamics and flows spontaneously from a high temperature heat source to a low temperature heat source.

Article 5, the definition of force, the effect of changing the speed of an object or deforming it.

Article 6, the three laws of motion. The law of inertia, the law of acceleration, the law of action and reaction.

Seventh, the composition of life is cells.

Of course, if you want to truly lay the foundation of natural science, these "mysteries of the gods" are far from enough. Shilot has an ambitious plan to gradually transform the physical, chemical and biological laws learned throughout the compulsory education stage into a language that can be accepted by the times. Then, as today, it was taught to university apprentices as an enlightenment for science.

The process of scientific enlightenment will be long and will last many years. The original students may not be able to really understand it, and they will only memorize it by rote as a hadith. But the significance of this teaching is unquestionable, and the sense of accomplishment it brings is unparalleled!

"I'm changing the world for the better!"

The king nodded with a smile, and handed the recorded instructions to Bravo.

"Bravo, engrave my words today on the stone wall, so that all apprentices can ponder over and over again."

"Follow your decree, Lord Sect Master!"

Bravo bowed his head respectfully. He took over the instruction and saw that "everything in the world is composed of particles of God", he thought for a while, and panic rose in his heart.

"Sect Master Priest..."

"Ok?"

"Can you make a little addition when recording your words?"

Bravo on the altar lowered his voice and warned cautiously.

"Everything in the world is composed of particles of God... Are noble gods and humble slaves the same in origin?"

Hearing this, Shulot raised his brows, knowing clearly in his heart. He glanced at the restless Bravo lightly and asked.

"How do you want to change it?"

"Can you add a sentence later, the gods that make up the gods were given divinity by the Lord God himself, so they have a noble status and are above everyone..."

The king pondered for a long time. No matter what the precepts he said, they must be interpreted by the people of the times according to the wishes of the times. For these enlightened scientific teachings to spread within the religious system, footnotes appropriate to the times must be added.

"Yes! Don't change what I said. Leave it alone at the back, with a commentary on the scriptures!"

"Follow you! The great enlightener!"

Bravo saluted solemnly and breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as he can write notes, he can find a way to deal with the past in front of the traditional high priest. Otherwise, after engraving so many amazing "instructions", his vice-principal position will come to an end. The alliance's priests and elders have always been conservative, they can't do anything to the king, can't they sacrifice his little third-level priest?

Thinking of this, Bravo hesitated for a while, and then admonished.

"Respected suzerain, when you go to the capital of the lake, it is best not to mention these instructions..."

Sherlot calmly stared at Bravo for a moment, nodded and smiled.

"Bravo, I understand what you mean. Don't worry about me, and don't worry about yourself. As long as you manage the university well, one day, there will be a place for you in the highest priesthood and elders!"

"Ah! Follow your decree! I will follow in your footsteps to the end of the world!"

Bravo suppressed his excitement and bowed solemnly to the ground. Then, he got up and stepped back, leaving the center of the altar to the king alone.

"Boom~bang~bang!"

A red fireworks bloomed in the sky, making a strange sound! The cheers under the altar gradually subsided, and the apprentices looked at the stage and returned to silence.

Xiulote put down the diabolo in his hand, sorted out his thoughts, and spoke again loudly.

"My students, look up to the sky! What do you see?"

"Strange red fireworks..."

Several priests and apprentices gathered up their courage and said softly.

Sherlot has good hearing. He looked at the few people who were talking and nodded with a smile.

"Yes! These red fireworks are both fire and light, and they are the power of God! The divine energy that burns with gunpowder changes the state of the particles of the gods. The divine energy is transmitted in the added divine particles, and the divine particles absorb the divine energy and release it. Different gods will release red, yellow, blue, green... different colors of light according to their own characteristics!...As long as the fixed gods are burned, fixed gods will be released! … "

The king organizes words to describe that in atoms, the electrons are heated and absorbed energy to transition to an unstable state, and then release fixed-frequency photons to return to the ground state. This process is to identify the flame reaction of different elements.

In the crowd, Elaine blinked. She was a little confused and a little new.

"Burning fixed divine particles and releasing fixed divine light... Could it be that the priests can create all kinds of strange flames artificially without communicating with the gods?"

On the altar, Bravo lowered his head and his body trembled slightly. Hearing the king's narration, he was sweating all over. The faint blue flame is the standard configuration of the priests of the Lake District, which is used to "communicate with the kingdom of the dead".

"The spring sun is so hot!...Let me think about it, let me think about it, how to interpret the precepts..."

Shulot looked at the many apprentices and explained patiently.

"God particles make up all things in the world, and the types of all things are different, and the types of **** particles are naturally different. Metal and stone, water and air, earth and sky... They contain different types and combinations of **** particles... And The most essential difference between the gods lies in the core! The gods are too small to touch. According to the color of the burning god, we can see the core of the gods through the various appearances, so as to identify their types. !..."

Listening and listening, Elaine's eyes were already full of "??" numbers. She tried hard and listened for a while, and then decided to give up. The girl's eyes gradually turned away, and finally stopped on the red altar.

There, the priests and craftsmen of divine revelation were already busy. A strange ball with a diameter of several meters gradually swelled up, and then was fixed by ropes and suspended on the altar.

The ball seemed to be made of bark paper, a specialty of the kingdom, with a terrifying red eye engraved on its surface, like a cold gaze from a god, staring at everyone in the field.

The brave Turks girl shuddered. She lowered her head slightly, guessing the power of the gods, not daring to look directly at the mysterious and terrifying sphere.

On the yellow altar, Shilot stopped to speak. He looked at the apprentices who were distracted, smiled, and walked down from the yellow altar to the red altar.

As he approached, the hot air balloon on the altar was clearly presented in front of him. Under the guidance of the king, the craftsmen made the hot air balloons with tough bark paper, carefully glued the joints with fish glue, and then coated with expensive rubber juice to strengthen them to prevent air leakage.

The surface of the hot air balloon is painted with a huge red eyeball, which is named "The Eye of the Lord". It has a diameter of six meters and a volume of more than 100 cubic meters. It can be regarded as a small hot air balloon or a large Kongming lantern. Similar to the Kongming lantern, the "Eye of the Lord" has a simple wooden frame at the bottom, which is then hooked up with ropes to fix a thin and light ceramic brazier.

There are several kilograms of good charcoal in the brazier, which is burning! A fiery flame rose from the brazier, heating the air inside and causing the entire balloon to inflate. Under the hot air balloon, a light bamboo basket is connected with ropes.

A chubby turkey clucked, tied with wings and feet, and stuffed into a small, tough bamboo basket. At this moment, the turkey does not know that it will become the first terrestrial creature to fly high in the sky in a hot air balloon. It just struggled uncomfortably, fluffing up pieces of chicken feathers and shaking the hot air balloon above.

The bulging hot air balloon was suspended in mid-air, bound by the ropes tied by the priests, and could only sway helplessly, like a huge mythical beast with life, and then let out a shocking breath.

Seeing this scene, Shulot nodded in satisfaction. For the Kingdom of the Lake, the pre-technology for making small hot air balloons is already mature. The production of hot air balloons is carried out in the name of offering sacrifices to the fetish. More than a dozen outstanding craftsmen are conscientious and conscientious, trying their best to do the best in every detail, and the human and material resources are also sufficient. Compared with the explorers of the Old World, he also has rubber unique to the Americas for sealing and reinforcement.

The priests and apprentices looked at the suspended huge "eye of the Lord God" and exclaimed in uncontrollable awe. In the eyes of everyone's reverence, the king walked to the bottom of the hot air balloon. He raised his hand, touched the rubber coating on the bottom of the hot air balloon, looked at the thin brazier that radiated the heat wave, and checked the fixed frame. Then, the king raised his head and stared silently at the huge sky creation.

The production of "The Eye of the Lord" has been carefully calculated by Shulot.

It is six meters in diameter and has a volume of more than one hundred cubic meters. When a cube of air is heated from 20 degrees to 80 degrees, the weight is reduced by 200 grams, providing about 2N of lift. That is to say, the volume of the hot air balloon of 5 cubic meters is estimated to be able to lift 2 pounds of objects when heated enough. In the entire hot air balloon, more than 100 cubic meters of heated air can carry about 40 kilograms of objects.

In the hot air balloon, the light and thin pottery brazier is about 4 pounds, and the charcoal is about 4 pounds, which can be burned for more than an hour. Paper balls, frames, ropes, and bamboo baskets together weigh more than 10 pounds. In addition, the weight of the hot air balloon itself is slightly more than 20 pounds, which can provide half of the lift as a load.

The turkey in the bamboo basket is about 10 pounds, and the remaining 10 pounds is used to load hemp rope. Yes, Shulot was not going to release this oversized "Kongming Lantern", but attached a 200-meter-long hemp rope. After the experiment, he was going to use the rope to pull down the hot air balloon for recovery.

6 mm thick hemp rope is about 1 catties and 10 meters. Roughly calculated, if everything is as expected, the "Eye of the Lord" will fly to a height of about one or two hundred meters, and then it will be suspended with ropes and stop until the firepower of the charcoal weakens, and then slowly fall.

Shulot stared at him in a trance, his yearning and longing for the sky surging in the king's heart. The "eye of the gods" in front of you will be the starting point for the entire human civilization to explore the sky!

After 418 good moments, he smiled and asked the priest of divine enlightenment in charge of the hot air balloon.

"Are you ready, Chimer knowers?"

Chimer, the second-level priest of divine revelation, pursed his lips, trying to keep his face calm. However, his trembling voice betrays his inner excitement.

"Respected suzerain, UU reading www.uukanshu.com everything is ready!"

"Okay! The Lord God bless us!"

Shirot nodded solemnly. He looked at the apprentices in awe under the altar and announced aloud.

"Priests and apprentices of the kingdom, my students! Let us witness this great and immortal moment together! The Lord God establishes the order of the world, and all things follow the principles of nature. You must always remember that as long as you master the mysteries of the gods, even Small mortals can also go to the high sky!"

Under the altar, hundreds of apprentices listened solemnly, watched, and looked forward to it. The king smiled lightly and ordered proudly.

"Chimer, untie the ropes and let the Eye of the Lord go into the sky!"

"Follow you, Sect Leader of Shen Qi!"

Chimer's fingers trembled as he undid the rope. Then, under the gazes of the priests and apprentices and the guard warriors, and in the eyes of countless shock and awe, the "Eye of the Lord God" finally broke free of all restraints and rose with the turkey in the bamboo basket toward the sky of the kingdom of God. fly away!
