"It's too small to see clearly..."
"Master Wei's eyes are presbyopic, of course he can't see clearly, let me see..."
"Oh, Yinghuo's position is really a ball, but where is the heart, doesn't it mean that the disaster star has rushed to the heart, I can't see it..."
"Don't look for it, we've been looking for it for a long time just now, but we haven't found where Xinsu is..."
For the courtiers, the thing in front of them is really a weird thing. It can see things in the distance so clearly, but that Yinghuo is hanging in the sky. Who would have thought that looking up at night on weekdays? The little light that flashed in the sky was actually a ball
Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. There has been such a concept since ancient times. Most of the people present are convinced that eyes cannot deceive people.
What's more, several veterans of the military said just now that the Academy of Sciences had sent them a machine for the military. They called it the "eye of the sky", and they could see the heads of enemy generals clearly from miles away , What ambushes, what traps, don't play in the future, under the eyes of the sky, it's useless...
The courtiers were most convinced by the School of Mathematical Sciences before, and those who came out of it were all powerful figures, and they were the talents that the various ministries of the court competed for. For the Academy of Sciences, it was only something that His Highness Shi Zi had on a whim, and after playing for a few days, it would be discarded.
However, no one expected that the things produced by the Academy of Sciences would cause shocks in the court several times.
Not to mention the kites that can send people to the sky, the waterwheels that can pump water from low places to high places effortlessly, and the farm tools that can greatly simplify farming...
These are invisibly changing their views, and even changing the lives of many people.
Now for farmers, cattle are not so important. As long as the family has a laborer with decent strength and equipped with new farm tools, it can completely play the role of cattle before.
This is enough to be called an event that opened up the world. His Majesty was so happy that he rewarded one hundred thousand taels of silver. After a while, the Academy of Sciences came up with such a magical weapon, which greatly opened the eyes of everyone...
Of course, many people know that what happened today must not be as simple as just looking at the stars.
The matter of Yinghuo guarding one's heart has caused a lot of noise, and now there are rumors among the people that Her Royal Highness the princess is the disaster star of Yinghuo, and it was the princess who attacked her majesty. Pictured
Cui Qingze's face was a little gloomy, he had already guessed the purpose of this stargazing party, he glanced in a certain direction, and the official of Sitianjian nodded slightly.
The telescope used to look at Mars is the product with the longest observation distance and the best quality produced by the Academy of Sciences, but if it is used to look at the moon, it does not have such high requirements.
Apart from that one, there are a few others of slightly lower quality, but more than enough to see the moon.
"Sir, is there really no Chang'e on the moon?"
Tsundere Lolita ran over from a distance, she just looked at the moon through that weird thing, that ugly and bumpy thing was not the moon she imagined at all.
The moon in her heart has Chang'e, the jade rabbit, and the beautiful osmanthus tree, Guanghan Palace, which is not like this.
Li Yi shook his head helplessly.
Tsundere Lolita asked pitifully, "Are there no osmanthus trees and Guanghan Palace?"
Li Yi could only shake his head.
"What about the Jade Rabbit, there should be a Jade Rabbit..."
Li Yi still shook his head.
Tsundere Lolita was very sad, and threw herself into Li Yi's arms sadly, tears were about to come down.
Li Yi stroked her hair. Although it is indeed a bit ruthless and cruel to puncture a girl's dream, Shou Ning has grown up, and compared to the cruel world she will recognize in the future, these are nothing at all .
Her Royal Highness threw herself into the arms of a man, which seemed unbelievable to the other courtiers around her, but the situation in front of her was different.
Marquis Li Xian is the husband of His Highness the Princess, so he is naturally closer in status. His Majesty's most beloved little princess is usually pure-hearted. When sad, she will inevitably make some outrageous actions, but everyone ignores it on purpose. In this scene, with His Majesty's love for her, even the censors did not dare to step forward to criticize her.
Tsundere Lolita wiped away tears that didn't exist, took a sneak peek at her husband, and then sneaked a peek at "Brother Drunk Mo" next to her, and held her husband's hand generously. He was so sad just now, Sad people can have a little bit of preferential treatment.
In the arena, Li Xuan has already taken out a model of the sun and the moon and is fiddling with it.
As for the earth, that is, the land they are on, Li Yi did not ask him to tell everyone present that the earth they stepped on was actually a ball, but a board named Fang was used instead, in order to save some unnecessary trouble.
"We know that the sun and the moon are both above the sky. After sunset, the moon rises, but this is not absolute. In fact, we often see the situation where the sun and the moon are in the same sky, but because the sun is too strong, We just don’t notice it…”
There were three people from the Academy of Sciences holding models of the sun, the moon, and the "earth" respectively. Li Xuan stood aside and waved his hands. After the three moved their positions, they formed a straight line in the order of the sun, the moon, and the earth.
"When the moon runs between the earth and the sun, it will block part of the sun's light and cast the moon's shadow on the earth. People covered by the moon's shadow will not be able to see the blocked sun. This is What we call 'the dog swallowing the sun'."
This principle is easy to understand. In addition, three people were there holding a model demonstration, and the fourth person lit a candle to simulate sunlight. Sure enough, a black shadow appeared on the ground. Someone stood on the ground and took a look, and immediately realized Said: "So it is!"
Li Yi glanced at the official, Li Xuan was too sloppy when he chose the babysitter, his acting skills are a little exaggerated...
Exaggeration is exaggeration, but the truth is the same.
He didn't come up with any new theories, but he just used the concepts already in everyone's minds to vividly explain the cause of the solar eclipse. The people present were so stupid. If they still couldn't figure it out, they wouldn't be here today. Appeared here.
Li Xuan waved his hand, and the positions of the three changed again.
"In the same way, if the moon runs to the opposite side and the earth is between the moon and the sun, then the shadow of the earth will be left on the moon, which is what we call 'Tiangu eclipse the moon'."
The scene suddenly became a little silent. After His Royal Highness said this, they were surprised to find that the truth was really so simple.
At the very beginning, His Royal Highness Shi Zi already used a very simple example to tell them that the moon itself does not emit light, otherwise there would be no such thing as a full moon and a short moon. Although this is contrary to their previous concepts, His Highness has a reason, They just think a little bit, and they can figure it out.
After that, it is natural to take it for granted.
The dog swallows the sun, the dog eats the moon, the dog... Even if they haven't heard what the son said, they still don't believe this statement.
If the sun and the moon have been eaten by the dog, can they still spit them out
After hesitating so many times, doesn't Tengu find it disgusting
"It's nonsense, it's nonsense!"
Just when everyone lowered their heads to think and the field became silent, a voice suddenly sounded from the crowd.
An old man came out from the crowd and said loudly: "There is a saying in the "Shangshu" that only Shi Xihe overthrew Jude, indulged in chaos in wine, left officials behind, disturbed Tianji, and abandoned Juesi. It was Ji Qiuyue Shuo…”
Looking at Li Xuan, the old man was filled with righteous indignation and said, "Any 'Tiangou swallows the sun' must be because the emperor does not cultivate morality, and the heavens warn..."
"Who is this?" Li Xuan looked at him and asked.
The old man looked upright: "Old Master Si Tianjian!"
"What does it say in the Book of History?"
Li Xuan looked at the Si Tianjian, took out a large and a small piece of silver from his bosom, clenched it in his fist, looked at the old man and asked: "Then, will the "Shangshu" pass by? Which of the two pieces of silver will fall first?"
[Note: The chief of Sitianjian is called Sitianjian.]
