science
Hearing this unfamiliar word, thousands of eyes in Nanshan Academy became more and more confused.
However, what these students who came from all over Chiguo didn't know was that this was just the "beginning".
"Science, simply put, is a subject that helps us understand the world.
It is an orderly knowledge system based on testable explanations and predictions on the form and organization of objective things. It is systematic and formulaic knowledge... "
Lin Tuo calmly narrated and explained according to the prepared materials.
Pick up chalk from time to time, and outline lines of text and pictures on the entire dark wall.
Yes.
Lin Tuo decided to start with science for the first lesson for sand table humans.
Of course, considering the "national conditions" here, Lin Tuo, except for the beginning, throws out a hard-to-understand, extremely conceptual definition, after achieving the effect of suppressing the scene.
Then I changed the subject and started to talk about the most basic and easy-to-understand method of understanding the world.
Use a few simple physical experiments to draw people's attention, and then, ask questions one by one, and use mathematics as a tool to build basic "scientific cognition".
"What is everything in the world made of?"
"How to explain the nature of the natural phenomena we observe?"
"Spring, summer, autumn and winter, the four seasons change, what rules and logic do they follow?"
More and more words appeared on the blackboard, and as Lin Tuo narrated, those dazed eyes gradually brightened.
Aside from those auditors who brought their own futons, paper and pens, and crowded at the foot of the mountain.
In fact, most of those who can attend Nanshan Academy are talented and intelligent people from the entire Chi country.
Beside the monarch, those ministers who looked old were also human elites who had been selected from the imperial examination.
In addition, Lin Tuo deliberately only taught some basic knowledge, the purpose is only to give these people a scientific way of thinking.
Therefore, they soon realized that the strange-sounding things that "Master Lin" said seemed to be opening a door for them.
A... grand door to a place the sages never noticed.
Outside the door is a brand new world.
…
"Shushasha..."
As the breeze blew across Nanshan, Lin Tuo stood in front of the blackboard, speaking in a calm tone.
Pausing from time to time, the eyes are momentarily confused, switching the consciousness back to the main body, and then quickly writing down the contents of the document on the computer, then switching back to narrate.
After absorbing the ether, Lin Tuo found that his memory had also improved, and he was already prepared.
Therefore, it is easy to deal with it.
In the eyes of the Manshan student, he felt that Master Lin was becoming more and more unpredictable.
There is also an area on the desks and chairs in front of the academy, which is occupied by a group of recording officers. They don't need to listen to the lectures or understand the content, but just write and record Lin Tuo's words non-stop.
For a moment, the entire Nanshan Mountain was filled with only the sound of the wind and Lin Tuo's narration.
An hour later.
Lin Tuo announced to take a break to let the students rest and solve their physical problems.
Then, the lecture continued.
In this way, an hour passed.
Two hours passed.
four hours...
six hours...
Unknowingly, the weather turned from early morning to evening, and in the seats all over the mountains and plains, the students listening to the lectures also rotated from batch to batch.
Occasionally someone got up and left, and they did their best to walk along the edge, trying not to disturb others.
After the transformation of life, Lin Tuo's physical strength has already far exceeded that of ordinary people.
Occasionally, during the break between classes, I switch back to the main body, order a takeaway to eat, or lie down and rest for a while, just like that, I talked for a whole day in one breath, and I didn’t feel very tired.
As for those who are listening to the lectures at the bottom, it doesn't matter too much.
"Anyway, I have to talk so much, and it's impossible for someone to digest it all at once. As long as the recording officer's shift record is good, that's fine."
Lin Tuo knew this well.
Just like what he said, the purpose of science courses is never to let these people understand mathematics, physics and chemistry in a short time, but just to spread the seeds of scientific thinking methods, nothing more.
…
"Have you heard? On Nanshan, that Lin Sheng has been talking continuously for the whole day, and there is no sign of stopping."
"I heard that several ministers of the DPRK and China were exhausted, and some people passed out in class and were carried down.
After waking up, he took a few mouthfuls of food, and then was helped back to school... You think, are you crazy? "
"You don't understand, don't you? Not to mention how rare the opportunity for a sage to preach, if you miss it, you may regret it for the rest of your life. Just say that His Majesty is still holding on. Which minister dares to be lazy?"
In the teahouse in Tao County, the sunset glow hung in the sky, and the content of people's conversations also quietly changed.
"When it gets dark, it should stop, right? Otherwise, even if all the tables and desks are lit, it may not be enough..."
At the foot of the mountain, an accompanying minister in charge of "logistics" looked at the students all over the mountain and said with a sad face.
"It's okay, after nightfall, there will be a vision of heaven and earth." On the side, Tao County's magistrate said with a smile on his face.
"Phenomenon of heaven and earth?" The courtier was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled.
But soon, he understood everything.
When the last ray of afterglow fell in the western sky, Lin Tuo was talking about the excitement, so he simply switched his consciousness back to the main body, and then turned on the flashlight fixed on the shelf.
Then, a column of light poured down suddenly from the dark night sky, illuminating the entire Nanshan Mountain and even most of the county town.
Those students who came from all over the world were shocked and aphasic immediately, but the people of Tao County didn't care at all, and explained with smiles, their faces full of pride.
…
As time passed, under the lights, the whole night was actually brighter than the day. During this period, the number of people coming from all over the Chi country did not stop, but more and more.
The small Tao County couldn't provide enough housing at all, and these people were not angry at all, they just camped quietly in the wilderness in the outskirts, as if they were satisfied as long as they could listen to the saint's sermons.
The newly infused blood just replenished those students who were exhausted and temporarily absent.
Lin Tuo witnessed the constant change of faces during the meeting, and found that the number of listeners actually increased instead of decreasing, and he was also a little emotional.
In fact, through his understanding in the past few days, he found that in Chi country, there was already a trend of thought similar to the study of things.
It's just that, on the one hand, it is unsystematic and superficial, and on the other hand, it is even more unconventional.
Take the introduction to basic science he taught today, if it is an ordinary person, let alone not attracting too many people to listen, I am afraid that he will be kicked out of power by the traditional school.
But now, with the decree of the gods and the status of a saint, in terms of acceptance and subsequent promotion, it is much easier.
With emotion in his heart, his lectures did not stop, and he continued to follow a fixed rhythm.
In the early hours of midnight, Lin Tuo finally threw the chalk in his hand on the ground, clapped his hands, bathed in divine light, looked down at the exhausted students all over the mountains, and said with a smile:
"What I'm talking about today is extremely superficial. In the category of science, it can only be regarded as opening the door. As for the content behind this door, I leave it to you and future generations to explore.
Well, this is the first class, the content of science.
You can go back to rest, get your spirits up, or sort out what you have learned today. At noon tomorrow, I will teach the second class. "
"Second class?" The head of civil servants who was helped back to class couldn't help pinching his beard and asked cautiously.
"Yes, as for the specific content, you will naturally know when the time comes.
Well, I can remind you in advance that the content of the second class will be more, please bring enough paper and pens. "
Lin Tuo smiled, looked around thousands of students in robes, and said calmly.
