Chapter 869: Shang Shu Youyun
"It's too small to see clearly......"
"Lord Wei's eyes are old, of course I can't see clearly, I'll take a look......"
"Oops, the location of the glow confusion, it's really a ball, but where is the antagonist, doesn't it mean that the calamity star rushed the antarish, I can't see it......"
"Don't look for it, we've been looking for a long time just now, and we haven't found where Antarite is......"
For the courtiers, the thing in front of them can really be regarded as a strange thing, can see the things in the distance so clearly, the glow is hanging in the sky, who would have thought that the little light that flashes in the sky at night on weekdays is actually a ball?
Hearing is false, seeing is believing, there has been such a concept since ancient times, and most of the people present are convinced that the eyes cannot deceive people.
What's more, a few veterans of the military just said that the Academy of Sciences had already sent one to their military, and they called it the "Eye of the Sky", a few miles away, even the head of the enemy general could see clearly, what ambushes, what traps, don't play in the future, under the eye of the sky, useless......
The courtiers were most convinced of the academy before, and what came out of it were all powerful people, and they were the talents that various departments of the imperial court competed for, and for the academy, it was only a whim of His Royal Highness the prince of the world, and after a few days of play, it would be discarded.
However, no one thought that what the Academy of Sciences came up with would cause several shocks in the Manchu Dynasty.
Not to mention the kite that can send people to the sky, the waterwheel that can pump water from low to high places effortlessly, and the agricultural tools that can greatly simplify the cultivation of fields......
All of this is invisibly changing their perceptions, and even changing the lives of many people.
Now for farmers, ploughing cattle is not so important, as long as the family has a strength and passable labor, with new farm tools, it can play the role of ploughing cattle before.
This is enough to be called a groundbreaking event, as soon as His Majesty is happy, he will be rewarded with 100,000 taels of silver, and it has only been a long time before the Academy of Sciences has made such an artifact, which has greatly opened everyone's eyes......
Of course, there are also many people who know that today's events must be more than just looking at the stars.
Now there are rumors among the people that Her Royal Highness the princess is the star of the glowing disaster, it is the princess who rushed to His Majesty, the Academy of Sciences is holding a stargazing meeting at this time, and it involves the sensitive topic of the glow, how can there be no plan?
Cui Qingze's face was a little gloomy, he had already guessed the purpose of this stargazing meeting, and glanced vaguely in a certain direction, and the official of the Heavenly Prison nodded slightly.
The telescope used to look at Mars is the farthest observation distance and the best quality finished product made by the Academy of Sciences, but if it is used to see the moon, it does not have such high requirements.
In addition to that one, there are a few that are slightly inferior in quality, but they are more than enough to see the moon.
"Sir, is there really no Chang'e on the moon?"
Tsundere Lori came running from a distance, she had just looked at the moon through that strange thing, that pitted, ugly thing, it was not the moon she had imagined it to be at all.
The moon in her heart has Chang'e, a jade rabbit, and a beautiful laurel tree, and Guanghan Palace, so it's not like this.
Li Yi shook his head helplessly.
Tsundere Lori asked pitifully, "Isn't there also a laurel tree and Guanghan Palace?" ”
Li Yi could only shake his head.
"What about the Jade Rabbit, the Jade Rabbit should always have it......"
Li Yi still shook his head.
Tsundere Lori was very sad, and threw herself into Li Yi's arms sadly, tears were about to fall.
Li Yi stroked her hair, although it was indeed a little ruthless and cruel to puncture a girl's dream, Shou Ning had grown up, and compared to the cruel world she would have to recognize in the future, these were nothing at all.
Her Royal Highness threw herself into a man's arms, which seemed a little strange to the other courtiers around, but the situation in front of her was a little different.
Li Xianhou is the husband of Her Royal Highness the princess, and her identity is naturally closer, and His Majesty's favorite little princess is simple-hearted on weekdays, and when she is sad and sad, she will inevitably make some overstepping actions, but everyone deliberately ignores this scene, with His Majesty's favor for her, even the imperial historians dare not come forward to accuse.
Tsundere Lori wiped her non-existent tears, secretly glanced at Mr., and then secretly glanced at the "drunken ink brother" next to her, holding Mr.'s hand generously, everyone was sad just now, sad people, can have a little bit of preferential treatment.
In the field, Li Xuan had already taken out a model of the sun and the moon and was fiddling with it.
As for the earth, that is, the land where they were, Li Yi did not let him tell the people present that the earth they stepped on under their feet was actually a ball, but it was replaced by a board with the surname Fang, in order to avoid some unnecessary trouble.
"We know that the sun and the moon are above the sky, and after sunset, the moon rises, but this is not absolute, the sun and the moon are in the same sky, in fact, we often see it, but because the sun is too strong, we can't notice it......"
There are three people in the Academy of Sciences holding models of the sun, moon and "earth" respectively, Li Xuan stood aside, waved his hand, and after the three of them moved their positions, they formed a straight line in the order of the sun, moon, and earth.
When the moon runs between the earth and the sun, it blocks part of the sun's rays and casts the shadow of the moon on the earth. ”
This reason is easy to understand, plus there are three more people there to demonstrate the model, the fourth person lit a candle to simulate the sun, and sure enough, a black shadow appeared on the earth, and someone stood on the ground and took a look, and immediately said: "I see!" ”
Li Yi glanced at the official, when Li Xuan chose the nursery, he was too hasty, this acting skill is slightly exaggerated......
Exaggeration is exaggeration, but the truth is the same truth.
He didn't put forward any new theories, he just used the concepts that everyone already had in their hearts to vividly explain the causes of the eclipse.
Li Xuan waved his hand, and the positions of the three of them 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 "tengu eating the moon". ”
The room suddenly became a little silent, and after His Royal Highness the Prince told this, they were surprised to find that the truth was really so simple.
At the beginning, His Royal Highness had already used a very simple example to tell them that the moon itself would not shine, otherwise there would be no full moon and no moon missing, although this was contrary to their previous concepts, but His Royal Highness was reasonable, and they were able to figure it out with just a little thought.
After that, it is natural to take it for granted.
Tengu swallows the sun, Tengu eats the moon, and Tengu ......, even if they haven't heard what Shizi said, they don't believe this statement.
If the sun and moon have already been eaten by the tengu, can they still spit it out again?
After spitting so many times, isn't the tengu disgusting?
"A bunch of nonsense, it's just a bunch of nonsense!"
Just when everyone looked down and thought about it, and the field became silent, a voice suddenly sounded from the crowd.
An old man came out of the crowd and said loudly: "There are clouds in the "Book of Shang", but Shi Xihe, subverting the virtues, sinking in the chaos, leaving the officials, disturbing the heavens, abandoning the Turks, is the season and the autumn moon......"
The old man looked at Li Xuan and said indignantly: "Whoever "swallows the sun", it must be the Son of Heaven who does not cultivate virtue and politics, and God warns ...... it."
"Who is this?" Li Xuan looked at him and asked.
The old man looked upright: "The old man is the heavenly supervisor! ”
"Shangshu cloud?"
Li Xuan looked at this Si Tianjian, took out two pieces of silver, one large and one small, from his arms, clenched them in his fist, looked at the old man and asked, "Then can the "Shangshu" pass by, if I let go, which of the two pieces of silver in my hand will fall first?" ”
[Note: The chief of Si Tianjian is called Si Tianjian.] 】
