- What Chao Yong wanted to do was Galileo's experiment on the Leaning Tower of Pisa. He chose the Iron Tower as a tribute to the Leaning Tower. However, there is no doubt that the Kaibao Temple Iron Tower has a more legendary history than the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The Leaning Tower of Pisa began to tilt when it was built due to unreasonable design, so construction was suspended for a time, while the Kaibao Temple Iron Tower was not designed at the beginning of the design. Taking into account the wind factor, the leaning tower was deliberately built, and finally it was straightened due to the force of the wind.
¡° Moreover, the experiment designed by Chao Yong is more rigorous than Galileo¡¯s experiment. If the two experiments are carried out at the same time, Chao Yong is also confident that the one that will be famous throughout the ages will definitely be the Iron Tower experiment.
The Kaibao Temple Tower was originally built to enshrine the relics of Ashoka Buddha. In order for believers to worship, an open space was left in front of the tower.
Still a few feet away from the iron tower, Chao Yong stood still and motioned to the teachers and students behind him to come closer.
When everyone gathered around, Chao Yong took a gold nugget and a silver nugget from Shi Yong's hand and said with a smile: "This gold brick and silver brick are the same size and solid. Do they weigh the same?"
Qin Hui immediately said: "Gold is heavier than silver."
"Gold is heavy."
"Of course it's gold."
Everyone was also used to Chao Yong¡¯s free teaching atmosphere and spoke one after another.
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Yes, gold nuggets are heavier than silver nuggets. Look, I have done something wrong."
As he said that, he handed the gold and silver nuggets to Qin Hui.
The gold and silver nuggets were no more than the size of a fist, but they were not light in weight. Qin Hui took them and his wrist sank. The hand holding the gold nugget obviously sank even lower.
After passing it to a few more people, Chao Yong motioned for them to pass it back and said with a smile: "Is there anything wrong with this gold nugget and silver nugget? They are the same size, but one is lighter and the other is heavier. If they were thrown down from the tower at the same time, the gold nugget would fall to the ground first. Or will the silver pieces fall to the ground first, or at the same time?"
"Naturally, the heavy ones will hit the ground first."
"The gold nugget hits the ground first."
"The gold nugget hits the ground first."
¡¡
As soon as the words finished, the students gave their answers one after another. They all said in unison that the gold nugget hit the ground first.
Chao Yong looked at Qin Hui and said nothing, and smiled: "What do you think?"
¡°The students¡¯ first reaction was that the gold nugget fell to the ground first. But if the prince comes to demonstrate this experiment in public, the result may not be what everyone thinks.¡±
Qin Hui also knew the status of the prince, and after asking for advice in private several times, he regarded himself as Chao Yong's student. Chao Yong saw that Qin Hui was studying seriously, so he had no objection. As for Qin Hui's motives, he didn't care. Learn martial arts. The goods belong to the emperor's family, this is the idea of ????most scholars.
Chao Yong wanted to use Qin Hui to spread mathematics and physics, and gave Qin Hui the status of a disciple of the prince, which would be more conducive to Qin Hui's education. If Qin Hui does well, Chao Yong wouldn't mind letting him become an official in the future.
A person who is truly knowledgeable. Both ancient and modern times are rare.
Although Qin Hui's answer was a bit cunning, he did not hide his thoughts and was not offensive. Instead, he felt that Qin Hui was honest.
Chao Yong smiled, took a wooden box that looked like a drawer from Shi Yong, and placed the gold and silver nuggets in front. Then he pushed the wooden board at the back and said, "Look, when you push this wooden board, the wooden board will slowly push the gold and silver nuggets forward. It can ensure that the gold and silver nuggets fall out at the same time. Do you have any questions about this?"
Everyone gathered around to take a look. The wooden board on which the gold and silver nuggets were placed and the pushing wooden board were all in order, which could ensure that the gold and silver nuggets were pushed out of the board together and then fell down.
Everyone thought for a while. They all nodded and said there was no problem.
Chao Yong smiled and said: "If we do the experiment here, because the two objects fall very fast. They will all fall to the ground in the blink of an eye, so it is difficult to tell which one came first."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Chao Yong pointed at the iron tower and said: "But if two balls are thrown down from the iron tower at the same time, if their speeds are different, such a high distance is enough for them to distinguish? It's like a man and a horse racing, They may be evenly matched at first, but as the distance increases, people will definitely not be able to outrun the horses.¡±
These days, Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Wu have also been studying Chao Yong's mathematics. For them, simple numbers are of great use in both military and political affairs.
After Xu Guanzhong read the experiment written by Chao Yong that day, he took a test when he went back. As long as the experiment is rigorous, it will really be implemented at the same time.
But he obviously would not tell the results in advance to weaken the impact of Chao Yong's experiment on people.
Everyone felt that the gold nugget landed first, but the experimental results were beyond everyone's expectations, which was exciting enough. If there is an argument, there will always be a winner in the end, and the experiment will not be so impactful.
Chao Yong looks at everyoneNo one had any objections, so he said to Shi Yong: "Take them to the fifth floor of the iron tower. When you see my signal, push the wooden board."
The thirteenth floor of the Iron Tower is more than ten feet high. If two objects weighing several dozen kilograms are dropped from a height of more than ten feet, they will be no less powerful than those thrown by a trebuchet. There will be gravel flying everywhere, and there is no guarantee that no one will be hurt. , so Chao Yong chose the fifth floor.
"yes"
The abbot of the Iron Pagoda Temple had been listening to the prince's talk. Only now did he know the purpose of the prince bringing people here. He hurriedly said: "The relics of Ashoka Buddha are enshrined in the tower. To ask the prince to let people enter the iron tower at will is disrespectful to the Buddha." ¡±
Chao Yong smiled and said: "What Ashoka, it doesn't sound like my Han name."
The abbot hurriedly said: "King Asoka is the third king of the Mauryan Dynasty of India and also the protector of Buddhism"
Chao Yong waved his hand to interrupt the host and said: "I don't believe in Buddhism, let alone foreign monks. Don't tell me these stories. I want to borrow the iron tower today. If any Buddha doesn't want to borrow it, please ask him to come out and talk to me. ¡±
The abbot¡¯s forehead was throbbing with veins. What the prince said was undoubtedly saying that there was no Buddha at all.
He really wanted the Buddha to come out and teach the prince a lesson for disrespecting the Buddha, but he had never seen the Buddha appear. Since the Buddha doesn't come out, only believers like them can devote themselves to the Buddha.
¡°Although the prince¡¯s status is noble, he cannot please the Buddha.
Disrespecting the pagoda:
1. You are suspended in the air, and a foul stench fills the air. Corpse insects gather together and eat your foul-smelling mouth.
2. What was the karma in the past life? 1. Cutting one's chest with a sword, sprinkling alum and salt on the wound, and cutting it over and over again?
3. If your body commits bad deeds, what will be the retribution of your deeds? Do you have to suffer like this?
4. I live in the city of Rajagaha, in the cave of Meile Mountain. I am the ruler, and I have a lot of wealth.
5. This is my wife from my previous life, my daughter and my adopted daughter. I have a good fragrant tree, the name of the tree is Damala, I have a green lotus flower, but I refuse to respect the stupa, and this is the fruit of bad karma.
6. We all suffer, there are 86,000 of us. Those who scold and respect the pagoda will eat chaff in hell.
7. When making offerings to the pagoda or performing a big sacrifice. Because of evil intentions, they are divided.
8. Seeing people coming from the air, solemnly holding garlands of flowers, receiving the fruits of their karma, they will be rich and happy.
9. This is unimaginable. When I see it, I am amazed and take refuge in the saints. Return to the great Muni.
??????????????????????????????????????? out out of this place, I was born in a human body and made offerings to the Buddhas and stupas, and I will never neglect them from now on. "
It must be said that this abbot is not a dawdling monk. He opened his mouth and came up with a retribution for disrespecting the pagoda.
Under the threat of hell, many people fell to the ground.
Chao Yong turned his head and looked at it. The teachers and students of Taixue were basically indifferent.
Chao Yong said to Qin Hui: "Don't you believe in Buddhism?"
Qin Hui also saw the prince's attitude towards Buddhism and said hurriedly: "The prince doesn't talk about strange powers and chaos. The students don't believe in Buddhism. In the eyes of the students, Buddhism is just a heresy spread from a barbarian country. Just as Han Yu of the Tang Dynasty said. There are many People used Buddhism to avoid taxes, and believers did not work in farming, so they lived off the blood and sweat of the people. Many wise men also escaped into temples to chant sutras and practice Buddhism, and were not used by the court. When Song Renzong wanted to build this pagoda, the court was in trouble. Many ministers opposed it and once stopped Song Renzong. Scholars led by Cai Xiang believed that the relic could not even be protected by the wooden pagoda where it was enshrined. If it was destroyed by fire, it could not be wasted. The people spent their hard-earned money to build this tower. When Cai Xiang returned to his hometown because of his father Ding You, Song Renzong took the opportunity to rebuild the tower."
Qin Hui is not short of courage. When the Jin soldiers invaded for the first time, he wrote a letter against the cession of territory.
Now that he has become a disciple of the prince, he is willing to serve as the prince's pawn. With the prince's power and protective temper, he does not have to fear any retaliation.
Qin Hui's erudition also allowed him to tell these allusions to prove his arguments.
From the reaction of the scholars later, Chao Yong also saw their attitude towards Buddhism. If the scholars stand on the side of the court, the plan to destroy the religion will be more secure.
Hearing what Qin Hui said, the abbot on the side quickly retorted: "Our food mainly comes from the temple property. All the believers' sesame oil money is used to worship the Buddha and build a golden body for the Buddha. How dare we steal it."
Qin Hui said: "You are not involved in production, doesn't the temple property also come from the common people?"
Chao Yong was about to send troops, and he didn't want to talk about the extermination of the religion right away. He waved his hand and said: "No more arguing about this matter. I just came here today to borrow the iron tower. I believe the Buddha would not be so stingy. Shi Yong, go up Tower, if anyone dares to stop it, take them all down.¡±
"yes"
Shi Yong was also ashamed of his previous hesitation. He gave the abbot of Kaibao Temple a cold look, then walked towards the pagoda holding the wooden box.
The team behindThe soldiers also followed him towards the tower, carrying some wooden boards.
The host felt the brutal murderous intent in Shi Yong's eyes, and knew that the person in front of him must be the elite who followed the prince to conquer the world. Even if the Buddha really appeared in front of him, he would probably be torn into pieces.
"Amitabha, karma is not satisfying at all."
The abbot proclaimed the name of the Buddha, but he did not sacrifice himself for justice, as if the Buddha would send down retribution on his own.
Soon, Shi Yong appeared on the fifth floor.
Chao Yong said to the people behind him: "You can also see whether the balls fall at the same time. Everyone pays attention. This experimental process is very short."
No one doubted what the prince would do. After all, this experiment could be done after he returned home. If he cheated, he could hide it for a while, but not for the rest of his life.
Chao Yong saw that everyone was looking forward to it, so he waved his hand and said: "Start."
When Shi Yong saw Chao Yong giving the order, he immediately pushed the wooden board and pushed out the gold and silver nuggets.
One gold and one silver, with distinct colors, appeared in everyone's sight at the same time, and then fell together, as if there were invisible threads connecting them.
"boom"
The two landed at the same time, and to everyone's ears, it seemed that they only made one sound.
"At the same time, it's actually the same time."
"I read that right, how come they fell together? Which one did you see fell first?"
"at the same time."
This result was obviously beyond everyone's expectations, and everyone was whispering to each other with suspicion.
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Everyone is right, it does not mean that heavier objects fall faster."
"As he spoke, he asked for two more pieces of paper from the soldiers around him, and said: "These two pieces of paper are made of the same material and have almost the same weight."
As he spoke, he crumpled one piece into a small ball and folded one piece into a paper airplane. He smiled and said: "The weight has not changed, will they fall at the same speed?"
Everyone wanted to say the same thing, but after being hit by Chao Yong just now, no one dared to say it easily.
Chao Yong looked at Qin Hui next to him and said, "Which one do you think will hit the ground first?"
Qin Hui thought for a while and said uncertainly: "Let the paper ball fall to the ground first."
Chao Yong smiled and said, "Why?"
Qin Hui pointed to the plane and said: "This is like a bird's wings, it may be affected by the wind."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "You are right, but you are also wrong. There is no wind now. The paper ball will fall to the ground first."
As soon as he let go, the paper ball fell to the ground. Although the paper plane did not fly, it still swayed before falling.
Even though there was a slight delay in the timing of Chao Yong's release of his hands, the speed of their fall was clear at a glance.
In fact, it was windy at this time. However, there was no obvious feeling, so Qin Hui and others felt that there was no wind.
Two simple experiments left everyone at a loss.
Chao Yong smiled and said: "The reason for this will be explained in my physics book in the future. Physics is the knowledge that reveals the laws of all things. Observe life more and do more hands-on work instead of taking it for granted. Physics is a hands-on knowledge. You can Verified through experiments one by one.¡±
"There is someone on the top of the tower."
"What are they going to do?"
"You're not going to jump from the tower, are you?"
Although it is a few feet away from the iron tower. But when they saw people appearing on the top of the tower, the crowd subconsciously pushed back, fearing that the people above would fall and hit them.
Qin Hui hurriedly said to Chao Yong: "Prince, be careful."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "They are my personal soldiers. Do you think people can survive if they jump from above?"
Qin Hui looked up at the towering iron tower. Just thinking about it made my legs weak, and he said with a pale face: "It's so high, I'm afraid there will be no bones left if I jump down."
Everyone who heard Chao Yong¡¯s words looked at the people on the top of the tower in disbelief.
Is it possible that they really want to jump down?
Chao Yong smiled and said: "No. You can jump down safely by using your knowledge of physics."
While talking, several wooden boards had been inserted across the top of the tower. The people on the top of the tower walked to the wooden planks and stayed away from the tower.
There was a person standing at the front, and a few people behind seemed to be holding a big piece of cloth.
"Jumped down."
"ah"
"Hide quickly"
"Don't squeeze me"
The people below saw the man running out of the top of the tower and starting to fall, and they suddenly became confused.
"Amitabha"
Open a treasure on the sideThe abbot's mouth was trembling as he recited the name "Buddha".
¡° Less than half of the people at the scene closed their eyes, some were timid, and some couldn¡¯t bear it.
Chao Yong watched Shi Yong¡¯s performance without changing his expression. Yes, it was Shi Yong who was parachuting in the air.
This performance has been practiced countless times. In order to prepare for today's course, Chao Yong made the parachute and asked Shi Yong to practice it in Jinmingchi. Of course, this kind of parachute cannot be stowed away. It can only be assisted by a few people to hold the parachute to prevent it from opening.
This drill only failed a few times at the beginning, all because the height of the jump was not enough, and Shi Yong fell into the water before the parachute took effect.
But after a nest car was transferred later, the eight-foot-high platform never failed again.
¡°After seeing Shi Yong jump many times without incident, several soldiers who assisted Shi Yong could not resist the temptation and jumped several times. Looking from the air to the ground, no one had any trouble.
But today, it is still Shi Yong who is the first to show his face.
In the astonished eyes of everyone, the parachute tied to Shi Yong's body opened under the resistance of the air, and was buckled on Shi Yong's head like a mushroom. Although it was still falling, the speed of descent was much slower, and it was swaying. Floating downward.
It was completely silent, without any noise.
"boom"
While everyone was stunned, Shi Yong landed on the ground, cupped his fists and said, "Shi Yong gives the order."
Several soldiers also went up to help Shi Yong release the parachute.
"Buddha bless you."
The first one to wake up was the abbot of Kaibao Temple, and he started to promote Buddhism at every opportunity.
Chao Yong was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He put a lot of thought into promoting physics, but there were actually people who were not afraid of death who dared to steal his business.
"You go and jump once. If you jump out and you are safe and sound, it is the Buddha's blessing. Not only will I believe in Buddhism from now on, but I can also let the court make Buddhism the state religion."
Hearing this, the abbot of Kaibao Temple immediately fell silent. Although Chao Yongkai¡¯s offer was hard for him to refuse, he also knew that jumping from such a high place would lead to death or life.
Although he believed in Buddhism, he was reluctant to sacrifice his life for the Buddha, otherwise he would have risked his life to prevent Shi Yong and others from entering the tower.
"what happened?"
"It must be that piece of cloth."
"Yes, it can only be that piece of cloth."
The soldiers and people around him woke up and started talking one after another.
Chao Yong smiled and said: "This is an application of physics. You will know the reason after studying physics. Okay, today's experiments are all over. Let's all disperse. By the way, don't try skydiving easily. If you are not prepared enough, , something may happen.¡±
After saying that, Chao Yong walked out with his soldiers.
Wherever they passed, the scholars and the people gave way one after another, and many people knelt on the ground and continued to worship. Many more people knelt down than before because the abbot of Kaibao Temple said that they were disrespectful to the Buddha.
They never thought that someone could jump from a height of nearly twenty feet and remain unharmed. Although the prince said that this was a piece of knowledge, everyone still felt that it was more like a miracle, and it was the prince who created this miracle.
Until the prince went out, there were still many people staring blankly at the top of the iron tower, as if there were gods above.
Chao Yong also knew from everyone¡¯s reactions that of the three experiments he conducted, the first two were just surprising and overturned many people¡¯s taken-for-granted ideas. But it wasn't very shocking, only the last one shocked everyone.
Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Wu, who had no prior knowledge, followed Chao Yong stupidly and were speechless for a long time. - Didn't finish reading?
