Chapter 150: On the Movement of Celestial Spheres
() When Xiaolan and Xiaohui saw Yunfeng pointing a black cylinder straight at them, with a strange smile on his face, they couldn't help but have a bad premonition in their hearts. They looked at each other, Xiaolan
Lan quickly called out: "Your Majesty, what are you looking at?"
Qiao Xiu, Zhuge Xian and Jiang Fa secretly shook their heads. Of course they understood what Yunfeng was looking at. In their eyes, the astronomical telescope was a priceless treasure, but the king actually used it to look at women!
However, they were not incomprehensible. After all, given Yunfeng's age, it was normal to have some playful thoughts. At the same time, it made them realize another side of Yunfeng in private, and they actually felt like the distance was being shortened.
.. .
The three of them recalled that when they first picked up the telescope, they also looked at each other. The weird and inexplicable world in the mirror was really hilarious. Gradually, the corners of the mouths of the three old guys appeared.
There was a smile that perhaps even they themselves could not detect.
Yunfeng seemed to be addicted to watching it. After a while, he moved the astronomical telescope away without feeling satisfied, handed it over and said with a smile: "You will know after you take a look."
"Yes!" Xiaohui stood up to pick it up, quickly returned to her original position, and eagerly closed her eyes and looked at Xiaolan.
"Puch~~!" In an instant, Xiaohui's face turned red, her expression was full of excitement, and she chuckled uncontrollably.
Xiaolan felt something was wrong even more, and asked a little reproachfully: "Xiaohui, what are you laughing at? What's so funny?".
"Kekeke~~Xiaolan, take a look too,~keke~~" This question seemed to open the gate. Xiaohui couldn't help laughing loudly. The branches of laughter trembled. It was difficult.
He handed the astronomical telescope to Xiaolan.
Xiaolan took it in her hand with some confusion, and looked at Xiaohui in the same way. As soon as Xiaolan's eyes came to the lens tube, she let out a muffled "Hmm~~!" and her face looked weird.
, a pair of beautiful eyes have also been filled with a layer of fog!
Zhuge Fei didn't know what was going on yet. She just felt that laughing unbridled in front of her elders was a sign of uneducatedness. She couldn't help but darken her face. She said displeasedly: "Xiaolan, Xiaohui, don't you look at this?"
What is the occasion, are you like this?"
Xiaolan and Xiaohui were agitated and quickly suppressed their smiles. Their pretty faces showed a hint of panic. The two girls looked at Yunfeng uneasily. Xiaolan said sarcastically: "Your Majesty, we are rude. Let's do it next time."
I don’t dare anymore.”
"Hey~~!" Qiao Xiu waved his hand and said: "What dare you? You are not above the court. Didn't Duanshan say that? There is no need to be polite in private situations. In fact, it is also very good. The true feelings are really inspiring.
You are in a happy mood, Broken Mountain, what do you think?"
Yun Feng smiled slightly and said: "The teacher is absolutely right, you don't have to worry, just be careful not to scare the children." After that, he asked Zhuge Xian: "Master Zhuge, how many astronomical telescopes have been made in total?
"
Zhuge Xian bowed his hands and said: "Back to your Majesty, it is not difficult to make an astronomical telescope. The difficulty lies in polishing the glass. The surface must not be scratched, but it must have a certain curvature. Alas~~ I am ashamed to say that, in the door
There were about four to five hundred polished glass pieces, but in the end only about twenty were used for astronomical telescopes, so only twelve were made."
Yunfeng also knew that the success rate of polishing with the existing technical means was extremely low, but he thought of another production method, so he suggested: "Master Zhuge, if you make the concave and convex molds in advance, then
Will pouring the glass boiling liquid into it increase the one-time molding rate of the glass sheet?"
"Pah!" Zhuge Xian slapped Jiang Fa's thigh with a heavy palm, his eyes lit up and he said, "You can indeed give it a try. I will ask my disciples to try out the mold soon."
After finishing speaking, Zhuge Xian looked at the three girls who had gathered around, Xiaolan and Xiaohui, who were chattering and introducing the world in the mirror to Zhuge Fei. Zhuge Fei looked longingly and from time to time asked about various things that others around him were saying.
It seems to be a simple question.
"Hey~~" He sighed secretly, Zhuge slowly looked away, stroked his beard and smiled: "I brought this one as a special gift to the king. Please accept it."
Yunfeng nodded and said: "Since it is the wish of the Zhuge clan leader, it is not convenient for my son-in-law to refuse." After saying that, he also looked at the three daughters who were playing with them admiringly and reminded: "Don't fall, we will do it tonight.
Come and see what the moon looks like."
"Your Majesty, when you mentioned the moon, I remembered it!" Jiang Fa suddenly showed a hint of excitement, and then said: "Huainanzi", "Lingxian" (written by Zhang Heng of the Western Han Dynasty), and even all kinds of
It is recorded in ancient books that the black spots on the moon are the sun
in Guanghan Palace, the residence of True Lord Chang'e and Fairy. However, when looking through the astronomical telescope, this is not a palace. It is clearly a ring of hills! There are no pavilions at all. How could Fairy Chang'e live in this place?
This kind of place? It’s really unimaginable!”
Yunfeng did not speak, but just smiled. If he could easily reveal that there is no Chang'e in the world, with his eloquence and various modern scientific arguments, it would not be impossible, but it would be a bit cruel. Chang'e's flight to the moon is a beautiful legend.
It also represents people's yearning to get rid of their own constraints and pursue freedom. Yunfeng believes that with the development and spread of astronomy, people will recognize this fact sooner or later, and there is no need for him to do it.
Break.
"Yes, the ring-shaped hills on the moon are indeed puzzling, but Old Master Jiang's achievements can only be seen by looking at the moon." Qiao Xiu looked at Jiang Fa with disdain, frowned, and said solemnly: "
Wei Shi and old man Zhuge used an astronomical telescope to observe the planets, but unexpectedly discovered that there is a large orange-red patch on the Jupiter star, which rotates once every six days from left to right.
After thinking about it, we two old guys came to the conclusion that the year star is probably rotating on its own. Otherwise, why would the rotation of the large patches be so regular? If Broken Mountain Returns to Hanzhong, what he said is right, the earth is also a sphere.
If so, then we can also infer that it is rotation that causes the alternation of day and night, rather than the sun rising in the east and setting in the west. This astronomical telescope is really a good thing!"
Zhu Ge
The earth rotates around the sun, and if you look at it magnified, the earth is very likely rotating around the sun!
Another point is that after several months of continuous observation, Venus (Venus) will also show periodic waxing and waning changes like the moon. I guess that it is caused by the rotation of Venus around the sun, resulting in different angles of the sun. This is
It also strongly proves that the earth is also rotating around the sun."
Just as he was talking, Zhuge showed a hint of loneliness and said with a self-deprecating smile: "I have spent several years working hard to create an armillary image and an armillary sphere. I thought I could study all the laws of the heaven, earth and universe with this, but I didn't expect that...
This small astronomical telescope has actually overturned the painstaking work of many ancient sages, and also made me realize my own ignorance, haha~~"
Although Zhuge Xian was smiling, there was a sense of loss and bitterness that could not be concealed in his smile. In fact, Yunfeng could also understand that the truth he had believed in for most of his life was proven to be a fallacy, and the research results he was proud of were revealed after months of observation.
If it is directly smashed, it will cause a huge psychological gap for anyone who replaces it.
Yunfeng looked at Zhuge Xian with sympathetic eyes, and said with a faint smile: "Master Zhuge doesn't have to have too many ideas. Although the subversive conclusion is difficult to accept, it is precisely the driving force for the advancement of astronomy, breaking the old
System, establishing a new system, this is the embodiment of progress in the process of exploring the unknown universe!"
Then, Yunfeng's face became solemn again and he said seriously: "Thinking about it from another angle, the efforts of Zhuge Sect Master and Teacher have laid the foundation for a new astronomy. Any research results of future generations are inseparable from your original conclusions.
, My son-in-law can assert that your observation results have epoch-making significance. If you write a book and explain it, you will definitely become a generation of astronomical masters, and you will always be admired and remembered by future generations!"
With a loud "Bang!", Qiao Xiu hit several cases hard, and couldn't help but said loudly: "Duanshan said well, but the study of astronomy with Zhuge as a teacher is not all for fame, but for the sake of fame.
It’s just curiosity to explore the truth. I always want to find out what is going on and what the reasons are, but I don’t have too many ideas.”
Yun Feng solemnly raised his hands: "Disciple understands the teacher and Master Zhuge. However, exploring the universe does not just rely on observing celestial phenomena. It also requires a large number of precise calculations to arrive at the rules. This must be mentioned.
Let’s get to mathematics. Mathematics is not only applicable to calculating money and measuring acres. It can be applied to any aspect of all walks of life, such as manufacturing weapons and equipment, building high-rise buildings, and more importantly, it is the basis for promoting the development of astronomy.
The basis of!
However, due to limitations in talent and learning, the "Mathematics" compiled by the disciples was too superficial and far from meeting the needs of astronomy. Here, the teacher and the leader of the Zhuge Sect were also asked to take a lot of trouble and select some people with talents in calculation and cartography to come out and improve and study it.
Mathematics uses astronomy to promote the development of mathematics, and then uses mathematics to reverse the progress of astronomy. The two are mutually reinforcing, interdependent, and inseparable knowledge systems, and one is indispensable!"
Zhuge Xian, Qiao Xiu and Jiang Fa were all deep in thought, thinking about the relationship between mathematics and astronomy. Zhuge Fei's master and servant also stopped joking and focused on the conversation between the four people. Maybe they couldn't listen.
They are too understanding, but it does not prevent them from realizing the importance of it.
After a while, Zhuge Xian said uncertainly: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will pay attention to this aspect with Master Qiao, and will also sort out the research results during this period and compile it into a book. However, the two of us will
The reason why this old guy was able to get a glimpse of the truth of the universe was because of your suggestion, and he requested your name for this book."
Chapter completed!
