    no. 247 The people who shocked Sun Simiao and the birth of the microscope

    Southwest is at home now. My friend just called me and said that I was cheated by a hawker when I bought oranges. I asked my friend what happened, and my friend said that the hawker bought oranges for one and a half kilograms and three kilograms for five yuan.  In the end, my friend bought three pounds for five yuan.  orz.  This guy didn't react until he got home.  The text begins below.

    "Fellow Taoist Sun, what can you gain from going down the mountain this time?" Huang Junming looked at the dusty Sun Simiao and said.

    The purpose of Sun Simiao going down the mountain was to collect herbs for use when the locust plague next year, so as soon as the Taoists from Tianxian Palace came back, Sun Simiao followed them back.  They just left some Taoist priests to continue purchasing herbs.  After all, Tianxian Palace is still short of the money for the medicine, but since Sun Simiao has returned to Tianxian Palace, he naturally wants to meet Huang Junming, the owner of Tianxian Palace, to inform him.

    Hearing Huang Junming's question, Sun Simiao stroked his beard with satisfaction. Sun Simiao is now in his forties. He can't be called a boy with this white hair, but he really looks like a master when he strokes his beard like this: "Immortal Master  , Pindao went down the mountain to collect medicine. When asked by people, he said that he was collecting medicinal materials to be used for next year's locust plague. People helped go up the mountain to collect medicine and gave them to Pindao. In the past few months, we have collected a lot of medicinal materials. Now we have Tianxian Palace.  His popularity among the people is unprecedented."

    "Oh? It seems that Fellow Daoist Sun has gained a lot of money this time?" Huang Junming said to Sun Simiao.

    "That's natural, but thanks to the people, otherwise it would not be so easy to purchase these medicinal materials." Sun Simiao was obviously very satisfied with this trip.  He continued: "Only now does Pindao know that the power of the people is great. Even the medicinal materials that Pindao brought back would not have been collected in a year before. But now everyone in the world believes in our Tianxian Palace.  Tianxian Palace will use these medicinal materials to benefit the common people and benefit the public. So I heard that we need them, so I sent them to us. I am so touched! If there is really a big epidemic after the big disaster next year, then these are the things we should be grateful for after the big epidemic.  Simple people!"

    Sun Simiao was very emotional.  Since ancient times, although both Confucianism and Taoism have indispensable ideas of valuing the people, they have been truly implemented.  There are really not many people.  Tianxian Palace and Taoism were quite good to the people in the Tang Dynasty.  It is also a matter of focusing on people's livelihood and making it a reality.  Therefore, it has been recognized by the people.  Minminmen is actually very simple, you are kind to me.  I'll be nice to you.  If you give me a bite of food, I will give you a promise that I will definitely travel.  And I got to know you better, and I heard that you are going to prepare medicinal materials to help people survive the great plague after the locust plague next year.  Of course I trust you without any reservation.  Support you and help you with real actions, because they know that helping you is helping themselves.

    "Fellow Taoist, now do you think it's better for you to walk around alone with a medicine box on your back, or is it better to train disciples and let them walk around the world like now?" Huang Junming asked casually.

    "Master Immortal, I can't answer the question you asked. I am walking around with a medicine box on my back. This is to use my own strength to help the world. At the same time, I can also accumulate more experience for myself. Now train  Disciples let disciples walk in the world. That is to benefit the common people and help more people get rid of the pain of diseases. If Pindao is allowed to choose, both sides want Pindao. So Pindao has decided, and from now on. In the winter, in Tianxian  The palace teaches skills to apprentices, and in the summer, like the disciples, they carry medicine boxes and go out to treat diseases and save people. In this way, the apprenticeship and consultation are not delayed." Sun Simiao obviously did not want to give up in any aspect, and wanted him to stay in one place to teach.  Disciple, that's not his character.  Sun Simiao likes a more casual life, and after staying in one place for a long time, his skills have become rusty.  It's not what Sun Simiao wants either.  The lifestyle he is talking about now is not bad.

    "Pindao knows. Let's go! Pindao will take you to see something good!" Huang Junming had no reaction to Sun Simiao's answer. In Huang Junming's opinion, Sun Simiao should be like this. Regarding Sun Simiao's answer  Huang Junming had already found the answer in his heart.

    But now Huang Junming is dragging Sun Simiao towards the Tianxian Palace Academy of Sciences, and his excited look also aroused Sun Simiao's curiosity.

    "Zhuang Jing, take out the treasure quickly and let your uncle Sun have a look!" Huang Junming shouted to Taoist Zhuang Jing before he entered the academy.  Recently, the Tianxian Palace Academy of Sciences has received more and more attention, especially in terms of various glass products. It is definitely a place that the entire Tang Dynasty wants to see its connotations.  The five hundred telescopes that were extorted by Li Shimin last time shocked the Tang military.  And Li Chunfeng didn't know where to find a group of people who were interested in the movement of celestial bodies. Some of them even took off their Confucian robes, changed into Taoist robes, and hugged the astronomical telescope in Tianxian Palace without letting go.  Even for this astronomical telescope, oh, not because of the practicality of the telescope, but oftenA quarrel breaks out.  Fortunately, the method of making an astronomical telescope is not too difficult.  The annoyed Taoist Zhuang Jing directly found two disciples and made two more to stand next to the original one, so as to stop them from quarreling.

    After completing the research on the astronomical telescope, Huang Junming gave Taoist Zhuang Jing the task of developing a true microscope.  Later, the donations from Tianxian Palace were robbed, which temporarily put the development of microscopes on hold. Later, because Li Shimin was dealing with the interception of donations, Huang Junming gradually asked the Taoists of Ke Dao to restart the development of microscopes.  Fortunately, this so-called true optical microscope is not that difficult to make.  Although the magnification is relatively small, it was still shocking enough in this era of the seventh century AD.

    "Disciple has met Master and Uncle Sun. The treasure is here, Master, please move." After hearing Huang Junming's shout, Zhuang Jingzi hurriedly ran to the two of them. After saluting, he led the two of them  The man walked towards a house with glass windows.

    "Master Immortal, what are you trying to show Pindao by bringing him here?" Sun Simiao did not understand the treasure that Huang Junming and Zhuang Jingzi talked about.  asked in confusion.

    Huang Junming gave it a try and pointed forward: "You'll know when you get there."

    Walking into this glass room, I saw two desks placed in the glass room.  One of the desks was empty, and there was a large wooden box about half a meter high on the other desk.  Huang Junming stepped forward, gently opened the wooden box and took out a strange-looking object for Sun Simiao.

    Of course Huang Junming took out a microscope. After playing with it for a while, Huang Junming said to Sun Simiao: "Friend Sun, come and see this treasure. Pindao can tell you that there is only one of these in the Tang Dynasty."  Ah. This is an instrument used to magnify tiny objects so that they can be seen with the naked eye. Last time you said you didn’t know what cells looked like, with this you can see what cells look like.”

    "Can this thing really see things that are invisible to the naked eye?" Sun Simiao remembered what Huang Junming once said, and asked in disbelief, pointing to this small thing.  Seeing Huang Junming smiling and nodding, he rushed up in two or three steps, and then asked: "How does this thing operate?"

    "Friend Daoist Sun, why are you in such a hurry? After listening to Pindao explain it to you, you will know how to use it!" Huang Junming wanted to let Kedao get a microscope at that time, but he tried his best to carefully recall the biology he learned in middle school.  At that time, I touched the microscope to see what Paramecium looked like and what my oral cells looked like.  Look at what a slice of a tomato looks like, what a slice of a cucumber looks like.  But they are quite interested. Even students who are not good at the biology course will still be interested in this microscope.  This person is easily interested and naturally listens carefully.  Therefore, Huang Junming has a pretty good memory and knows the general principles and appearance of this microscope.  Then he drew the microscope in his memory completely. After explaining it to Zhuang Jingzi, he asked him to do it. Unexpectedly, it took him less than half a year to actually make it.  I have to say that the wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated.

    "Come on, friend Sun Dao, Pindao will tell you about the structure first. This is the base of the microscope, which is used to support the entire mirror body. This is the upright part on the mirror base, which is used to connect the mirror base and the mirror arm. This is.  This is the eyepieceThis is the objective lens" Huang Junming pointed at each part of the microscope one by one, while talking about the function of this part. Sun Simiao also listened very seriously. Regarding what Huang Junming once said,  Sun Simiao has been yearning for the microscope for a long time.

    "Having talked about the structure of this microscope, Pindao will show you how to use it." Huang Junming stood in front of the microscope and then said while demonstrating: "First, focus on the light Then use the objective lens Slowly adjust it  Focus until you can see clearly what the object looks like"

    Today’s third update is 9,000 words, and there are still 6,000 words to go. It’s exhausting.  I beg you for motivation.  To be honest, continuous coding is really not done by humans.  Begging for support.  orz.

    In addition, the book was originally scheduled to be completed between 1.2 million and 1.5 million words. However, the book has now exceeded 600,000 words. It is too slow to enter the country, so Southwest plans to speed up appropriately.  , tomorrow’s chapter will enter the second year of Zhenguan.  I hope everyone can understand that Southwest's book has too many limitations and is really tiring to write.  (To be continued.
