- "Teacher, when will you start teaching physics?"
When Qin Hui saw the scene just now, his heart was agitated. He felt that the knowledge of saints and mathematics he had learned before were too useless. Only physics is the real avenue.
Chao Yong glanced at Qin Hui, who was looking forward to it, and said with a smile: "The book has not been completely written, and I will lead the troops to go on an expedition soon, maybe next year."
Hearing this, Qin Hui immediately said: "Disciple is willing to accompany the teacher, so that he can listen to the teacher's teachings morning and night."
Chao Yong didn't know whether Qin Hui was doing it for military merit or for studying. He shook his head and said with a smile: "The war is fierce and dangerous. If you don't know martial arts, you may lose your life by following me."
Qin Hui said: "Disciples are not afraid of danger. Although disciples are weak, they can still block a few swords and spears from the master."
Chao Yong was unwilling to take a weak scholar on the road, and said with a smile: "I still have something to give you. During this period, you must study mathematics more carefully. After I lead the troops to go on an expedition, you must continue to teach mathematics at Taixue." , it is best to bring out a group of disciples to teach mathematics to the world. Your rewards will be indispensable when you succeed."
When Qin Hui heard about the award, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, but his face remained calm as he said: "Don't worry, sir, I will do my best to spread the teachings of mathematics."
Chao Yong nodded and suddenly asked: "You are a Jinshi, so you are considered a human being. Let me ask you, what is the relationship between religion and the court?"
When Qin Hui heard Chao Yong ask about religion, his mind turned. He thought of the monks and Taoists in Tokyo who were exposed in the Di newspaper yesterday who were pretending to be gods and cheating people out of money. He vaguely guessed something and said respectfully: "Students think that religion is not conducive to the rule of the court, like Buddhism and Taoism." They do not engage in production, evade taxes, and exploit the hard-earned money of the people. Moreover, most of the teachings promoted by these religions are that they have no king and no father. They only recognize the gods and Buddhas they worship and do not recognize the king and father. They have used religion to cause chaos throughout the ages. The list goes on.¡±
Chao Yong saw that Qin Hui had guessed something and believed that Qin Hui was a smart man, so he asked directly: "If the imperial court abolishes religion, will it have a bad impact on the people of the world?"
When Qin Hui heard what the prince said, he knew that he had guessed it right. The prince asked him so straightforwardly and seemed to really regard him as a disciple. Suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, he said: "No, what China relies on to maintain people's hearts is the etiquette and the three cardinal principles and the five constant principles that have been formed for thousands of years. The king is the guide for the ministers, the father is the guide for the son, the husband is the guide for the wife, benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom, and trust. These are My Chinese moral standards. Although those religious gods and hells have a certain good influence on people's hearts, they were more harmful to people in ancient times without religion."
Although the policy of exterminating the religion has been decided for a long time, Chao Yong will never waver. However, only by conducting multiple investigations can we know what obstacles we will face in the future and prepare countermeasures.
Chao Yong nodded and said: "That's right. I want to go to the military camp and won't teach today."
"Students resign."
Qin Hui didn't listen and didn't teach, so he left with a disappointed look on his face.
Wait until Qin Hui leaves. Chao Yong said to Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Wudi: "What do you think of this person?"
Xu Guanzhong is not a pedantic person. Naturally, he will not say stupid things about a gentleman not talking about people behind their backs. Otherwise, no one will comment on others. It is possible that the emperor himself must examine everyone.
"He seems to be a loyal and filial person. He is also very studious."
Zhu Wu answered the question: "This parachute is also a sharp weapon, but I can't think of where it can be used."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "It is still very inconvenient to use, and it is prone to accidents, so it is not of much use. Maybe it can be used in conjunction with a hot air balloon."
Zhu Wu clapped his hands and said: "Yes, you can jump from the hot air balloon with a parachute. Fall directly into the enemy's formation."
Shi Yong had the most say on the parachute. Hearing this, he immediately said: "I was shot into a hedgehog before I even hit the ground."
Zhu Wu smiled and said: "You can jump to places where the enemy is not prepared."
Chao Yong shook his head and said: "If the hot air balloon can carry many people, it will be no problem, otherwise it will be useless to jump a few people in."
Zhu Wu was very optimistic about the military application of these new things and said with a smile: "Is there any progress in hot air balloons now?"
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Hou Jian and his people are studying in Jinmingchi. I just reported yesterday that it is ready to fly into the sky. Let's go and have a look."
Shi Yong said: "The cloth used for the parachute was chosen by Hou Jian. It is strong and can catch the wind. The hot air balloon must be large enough, airtight, and not too heavy. Hou Jian tried many cloths and papers before he succeeded. "
When Chao Yong first thought of making a hot-air balloon, he felt that the biggest difficulty might be the material of the balloon. There are no high-tech materials now, and the only thing that can be used is cloth, so Chao Yong asked Hou JianTake charge of this matter.
Hou Jian is known as the first-hand tailor in the world. He is naturally familiar with all kinds of fabrics, and Hou Jian is very good at stitching. If anyone can sew something airtight, it must be Hou Jian.
After Daliang captured Tokyo, Hou Jian was responsible for making court robes. Although he was still doing tailoring work, he was now an official of high rank.
After Hou Jian heard that the prince asked him to sew something that could fly into the sky, he immediately dropped all the work at hand and moved to Jinmingchi. He stayed shut in and hid in Jinmingchi to develop hot air balloons.
Jinmingchi is the most ideal testing site. It is open enough and ordinary people are not allowed to enter. After Chao Yong decided to build a hot air balloon, he applied to the emperor to designate Jinming Pool as a forbidden area, and officials were not allowed to enter it.
The most important thing is that it is safer. As long as it does not rise to a height of tens of feet, even if it falls into the water, your life will not be in great danger.
The principle of a hot air balloon is very simple, but making a hot air balloon capable of carrying people is not a simple matter. Hou Jian racked his brains and finally figured out a way to combine cloth and paper to make a qualified hot air balloon.
Everyone also wants to see something that can make people fly in this era, and the horses under their crotches are also faster.
As soon as I entered the Jinming Pond, I saw a balloon the size of a house floating in the air several feet high, with a basket hanging underneath. There was an iron box between the basket and the balloon, which was burning with blazing fire. There are a dozen ropes fixed to the ground under the basket, as if once the ropes are loosened, they will go straight up to the sky.
When everyone saw the hot air balloon flying in the sky, their eyes immediately widened.
Chao Yong was also a little excited. Although there are many tools in later generations that can fly into the sky, in this era there is no doubt that only hot air balloons can allow humans to realize their dream of flying.
Under the hot air balloon is a wooden shelf built in the water similar to a later rocket launch silo. This was definitely not done under Chao Yong's prompting, but was figured out by Hou Jian and others.
People in the pool also saw the prince and his entourage, and hurriedly sailed their boats to welcome them to the edge of the pool.
"Meet the prince."
Hou Jian jumped ashore and saluted loudly, with pride and pride on his face.
Chao Yong smiled and said: "I thought it would take a while, but I didn't expect it to be done so quickly. Thanks to everyone's hard work, each person will be rewarded with a hundred guan. Hou Jian's official rank will be promoted."
"Thank you Prince for the reward."
"Thank you Prince for the reward."
When the sailors and craftsmen on the ship heard that each person was rewarded with one hundred guan, they hurriedly thanked him loudly.
They also thought that the prince would reward them. But I never expected that I would be rewarded so much. It is said that their work was not very hard, that is to say, the navy soldiers suffered some cold while building the platform in the water.
Chao Yong smiled and said: "How high can this hot air balloon fly?"
Hou Jian shook his head and said: "We haven't tested this yet. People outside Jinming Pool will be able to see it if we fly higher. Now we are testing how long it can take off."
"Oh? How long can we fly?"
Hou Jian said: "What is burning now is fierce fire oil. If the current flame is maintained, it can burn for half an hour. It may be that the higher the flame, the greater the flame required. This needs to be tested."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "The size of the flame can be adjusted?"
Hou Jian nodded and said: "Okay, it seems that by adjusting the size of the flame, the hot air balloon can fly to different heights."
This is the conclusion Hou Jian drew from the experiment, but Hou Jian didn't understand the reason.
Chao Yong naturally knew that this was just adjusting the density of hot air in the balloon through heat, thereby changing the height of the balloon.
Zhu Wu was eager to try: "Since this hot air balloon has been successful, why not test how high it can fly?"
Xu Guanzhong also said: "Shi Yong's skydiving from the Iron Tower just now has made many people think that it was the prince's magical method. Strike while the iron is hot. Using hot air balloons to carry people into the sky, I am afraid that all people will think that this is a magical method, and physics will probably do the same. Once you become a theologian, it will be much easier for the prince to promote theology."
Hou Jian also said: "This hot air balloon has been flying for a day. It is completely ready to fly freely."
Chao Yong said: "Okay, let's fly. Who wants to fly?"
"I fly."
"I"
"I"
As soon as he finished speaking, three people started fighting for it.
Chao Yong looked at Zhu Wu strangely. He can understand Hou Jian and Shi Yong fighting for each other. After all, the hot air balloon was made by Hou Jian. He thought it was reasonable to be the first to fly into the sky in a hot air balloon. Shi Yong, on the other hand, is silly and bold. He was addicted to skydiving for the first time. It would not be surprising if he wanted to be the first person to fly again. Only Zhu Wu?He was a little surprised. Zhu Wu was proficient in military formations and was usually very steady. He should not be such an impulsive person.
Zhu Wu smiled and said: "I want to go to heaven and see everything in this world. Of course it would be better if I could be the first to go up."
Hou Jian said hurriedly: "It's up to me. I'm more familiar with the operation of hot air balloons, and I did it. If there is any danger, I will naturally bear the responsibility."
Shi Yong said: "It's okay. If you fall to death, you will fall to death. It's worth dying if you can be the first to go to heaven."
Chao Yong shook his head and said: "Maybe the hot air balloon can't fly as high as the iron tower. What's there to grab?"
Shi Yong said: "Standing on the iron tower is still on the ground. Only by riding this hot air balloon can you be considered flying."
Chao Yong looked at the stubborn Shi Yong and said: "The first one to fly will definitely go down in history. This honor should be left to Hou Jian. If you want to fly, I will give you a few days off later so that you can fly as much as you want."
When Shi Yong and Zhu Wu heard what Chao Yong said, they couldn't fight for it anymore.
"Wait for me."
Everyone got on the boat and was about to leave the shore when they saw Shi Qian coming quickly from a distance.
There was still more than ten feet away from the boat, and Shi Qian rushed to the boat in one quick step.
Chao Yong smiled and said, "Why are you here?"
Shi Qian smiled and said: "I heard from the fleas below that you came to Jinmingchi, so I came to take a look. If this hot air balloon flies into the sky, I can't be the first person to fly into the sky. Why should I be the first to watch him fly into the sky? Bar."
Hou Jian smiled and said: "The prince said, I will be the first to fly into the sky."
After Jinmingchi was sealed off, Shi Qian came to inquire a few times. He was also very keen on hot air balloons and even sat on them a few times. However, the height of a few feet could not satisfy his desire to fly.
The wooden frame in the center of the pool is divided into two layers. There is a wooden ladder on the side for going up and down.
When everyone came to the wooden frame, Hou Jian explained: "The fabric on it is afraid of fire, so it can only be placed on the second wooden frame. When taking off, it must be heated on the first level until the ball on it swells. It can be lifted into the air.¡±
Zhu Wudao: "Then if the hot air balloon falls, wouldn't it be useless?"
If the hot air balloon is a disposable item, the role of the hot air balloon is still there. But it will also be much reduced.
Hou Jian shook his head and said: "That's not possible. After turning off the fire, just cover the fire cabinet with a wooden board to insulate it."
Chao Yong didn¡¯t expect Hou Jian to have thought so thoroughly. Although there are still many areas for improvement, there is no doubt. Hot air balloons can already fly.
Under Hou Jian¡¯s command, the people on top of the hot air balloon turned off the fire and lowered the hot air balloon.
With the push of several soldiers on the wooden frame, the gondola accurately landed on the first floor, while the soldiers above grabbed the deflated balloon.
After filling up the fuel, Hou Jian boarded the hot air balloon and prepared to take off.
Chao Yong felt the direction of the wind. He smiled and said, "The wind is northwest now. When you rise into the sky, you should fly towards the palace. It would be best if you can land in front of Xuande Gate. I will ask the emperor to watch from Xuande Gate."
Hou Jian smiled and said: "Leave a few ropes under the hanging basket. When I fly in front of Xuande Gate, I will lower the altitude. If it is still floating forward, just let the guards pull me down."
"Okay, then we wish you success in flying to the sky."
After the firebox is lit again. Soon the hot air balloon inflated and then rose into the sky.
The ropes all around have been untied. Soon the hot air balloon rose to dozens of feet, and the people in the basket could no longer see clearly.
Chao Yong saw that the hot air balloon was already drifting towards the city, blown by the northwest wind, so he went ashore with the others and headed towards the city.
Although Hou Jian has been testing hot air balloons in the past few days and is used to riding in hot air balloons, the height was only a few feet high before. When the hot air balloon rose to dozens of feet and the people below became black spots, Hou Jian He couldn't help but his legs became weak.
??Tightly holding on to the rope on the hanging basket, she closed her eyes and rested for a while before daring to open her eyes and look down again.
After slowly getting used to this height, Hou Jian began to test the limit of the hot air balloon¡¯s ascent. When he felt that the hot air balloon could no longer rise, the entire Tokyo had turned into a small square.
In order to save fuel, Hou Jian began to reduce the firepower and slowly lowered the hot air balloon.
Although the fire is decreasing, Hou Jian's blood is getting hotter and hotter, because he is about to fly into Tokyo city.
That¡¯s right, fly in.
He was the first person to fly into Tokyo and the first person to fly into the sky. His name will definitely be remembered in history.
Even if future generations don¡¯t know the name of this year¡¯s top pick, they will definitely know his name.
The first person to fly - Hou Jian.
"What is that?"
"There seems to be someone in that basket."
"The demon must be a demon. We can't let him enter the city and shoot him down."
The soldiers guarding the city wall were the first to notice the hot air balloon in the sky and started shouting. Some were timid and frightened, while others were bold and ready to shoot Hou Jian down with their bows and arrows.
When Hou Jian saw someone preparing to shoot an arrow, he was immediately frightened to death. He might have been able to dodge for a while, but the balloon above him, which was bigger than a house, was the best target, and it would burst with one shot. Once the air leaks, there is only one end for him, which is to be smashed into a meat pie.
In order to let the people in the city clearly see his appearance as the first person to fly in the sky, Hou Jian deliberately lowered the hot air balloon to a height of more than ten feet. The city wall of Tokyo is ten feet high, and the hot air balloon can fly over the city wall.
It¡¯s just that Hou Jian didn¡¯t expect that this decision would put him in danger. At this time, it was too late to think about promotion.
Hou Jian didn¡¯t want to die under the arrows of his own family, so he hurriedly shouted: ¡°Don¡¯t shoot, this is a spaceship made by the prince.¡±
Chao Yong¡¯s soldier, who had been following the hot air balloon below, heard Hou Jian¡¯s shouting and quickly shouted: ¡°Yes, this is a spaceship made by the prince.¡±
Today¡¯s wind is not very strong, and the speed of the hot air balloon is about the same as that of a war horse. Chao Yong and others rushed into the palace first and reported to Chao Gai.
The soldiers on the city wall did not recognize Hou Jian, but they could recognize that the soldiers below were the soldiers beside the prince. Then they put away their bows and arrows. The soldiers who had previously said that they were monsters slapped themselves a few times.
Soon the soldiers on the city wall all agreed that this was the prince's magical method.
The shouts in the air and below the city also made the people below the city notice the hot air balloon flying in the sky. In the eyes of the people, this is definitely a magical trick. No one dared to think that the demon would kneel on the ground as soon as he said it.
Although Hou Jian was more than ten feet high in the air, he could still hear that the object of worship below was the prince.
He was also a little helpless. The soldiers on top of the city were not Liangshan veterans, and no one might know him, so he could only call out the prince's name. Although the prince told him the principle of the hot air balloon, he made the hot air balloon. .
I came here just to show off, but unexpectedly, I also gave the title of hot air balloon making to the prince. At this moment, Hou Jian felt like he was about to cry. He was also afraid that some stupid soldier would shoot him down with an arrow at the top of the city. He hurriedly increased the flames, and the hot air balloon flew more than ten feet high.
"Spaceship" is a name used externally to prevent anyone from thinking of the principle of a hot air balloon from the name "hot air balloon". Although this hot air balloon looks so similar to the Kongming Lantern, Xu Guanzhong still feels that if it is not revealed, no one will boldly think that a fire can lift people to the sky. The principle of the hot air balloon can still be hidden for a while, so Chao Yong also So we decided to use the name Spaceship.
Although the hot air balloon doesn¡¯t look like a ship from anywhere.
The soldiers and civilians below saw the spaceship made by the prince flying into the sky again, and they kowtowed.
After passing the city wall, Hou Jian lowered his height again and passed through the city. - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
