Chapter 1155: The Tide (Page 1/1)

Yan Jian was very curious, and when he heard Guo Jia say that Sun Ce was interested in his article, he was still a little proud, thinking that it must be his own opinion that made Sun Ce open his mouth, and when he heard Sun Ce say it at this moment, he knew that although Sun Ce was interested in his article, his evaluation was not very high, and he was even a little dissatisfied, and his heart suddenly became competitive.

His pursuit of glory and wealth is more indifferent than that of ordinary people, but his pursuit of knowledge is very strong. If he is criticized by any of them, he may not have too many ideas, and he is not convinced by Sun Ce, a martial artist.

The article is his own good, which is a common problem of literati, and he is no exception.

"Please advise the General."

Sun Ce smiled. "Mancai, I'm busy with military affairs and time is very tight, so I don't care about the rule of eating and not talking. If you don't mind if I'm rude, let's talk while eating, and the etiquette of toasting birthday and dancing is also omitted, just talking about the tides, how about it? ”

Yan Jian is in the middle of it. "I can't ask for it."

Sun Ce raised his glass. "Then I'll give Man a cup first, and if there are any radical arguments later, please take care of Mancai."

Yan Jian also raised his glass. "That's right. If there is any rudeness, please also ask General Haihan. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, drank it all, and ate two bites of food, and Sun Ce cut to the chase. The causes of tides are simple and complex, and Sun Ce only knows a little bit about it, and he can't explain it thoroughly. Fortunately, his purpose was not to explain the causes of tides to Yan Gan, on the contrary, this issue should be left to Yan Jian to study by himself, his purpose was to arouse Yan Gan's interest, show him the direction, and lead him to the right path.

He is young, in good health, energetic, curious, and has a good academic foundation, and is an ideal person to do theoretical research. If it goes well, he can also become a figure like Xu Yue. There are 30,000 students in Luoyang, and there are no thirty such people, otherwise Emperor Xiaohuan would not be self-defeating, dug a big pit for himself, caused two party failures, and finally buried the Han together.

In this era, there are many scholars who hold the sage and only say a few words to guide the country, and few are willing to really work hard to study knowledge. There are many piles of old papers, and few are doing pioneering research. Whether it is the ancient scriptures or the modern classics, the Han Dynasty scriptures have reached a dead end at this point, and the emergence of Wei and Jin metaphysics has begun to show signs. He wanted to draw the attention of intellectuals to natural philosophy before metaphysics became popular, and to carry forward the budding rational thinking of Wang Chong, Zhang Heng and others.

There are many people like Xu Yue and Yan Ji, who knows if there will be one or two Galileo and Newton to create a new era? Without the progress of the natural sciences, all philosophy would have turned into metaphysics. In China's 5,000-year history, there is no shortage of geniuses like Mozi, Zhang Heng, and Zu Chongzhi, but what is lacking is the soil for them to show their talents. Sun Ce knew that he was not such a genius, but he could provide them with soil.

"Mancai, have you ever seen the sea?" Sun Ce said with a grin.

"If you haven't seen the sea, how can you be interested in the tide?" Yan Jian is very confident. "I have not only seen the sea, but also went to Guangling to watch the tide."

Sun Ce nodded. The Guangling tide of this era is also very famous, no less than the Qian and Tang tides. In this way, Mancai has still proved it. However, I guess you are only three or five days, and you will not live by the sea or Guangling for a long time, right? ”

"What the general said is very true." Yan Jian didn't hide it. His family lives in Pengcheng, his studies are heavy, and he is only interested in the tide, not his main business. In fact, he only went to Guangling and Haixi once, and stayed for only three or five days.

"My family is in Fuchun, although I travel with my father all the year round, and there are not many opportunities to go home, but every time I pass by Qiantang, I will watch the tide and sigh for the creation of heaven and earth, but I can't dig into it for a while. When I saw your article today, if I met a friend of God, I liked it very much when I saw it. ”

Yan Zhen bowed slightly, like a spring breeze.

"However, I think your explanation can only be regarded as a peek at the leopard, and you can see the whole picture." Sun Ce snapped his fingers and explained the different changes in the tide one by one. He actually didn't know the tide, but the last time he went to Huiji to take office, he was blocked in Qian Tang, and he considered forcibly crossing at night, Gan Ning, Ling Cao and others recorded the situation of the tide in detail, and he remembered it very clearly.

The more Yan Jian listened, the more curious he became, and unconsciously knelt down on the desk, holding his cheek with his hand, and looked at Sun Ce intently, for fear of missing a word. In order to write this "Treatise on Tides", he also personally went to Haixi and Guangling, and also inquired about the local people in detail, and asked himself to study it very carefully, but now when he heard Sun Ce, he realized that the work he had done was far from enough.

At least he had never done anything like Sun Ce to measure the height of the tide, the time of the rising tide, and the time of the low tide day by day. He thought that the moon might be the main factor affecting the tides, but he didn't know that the sun could also be the same, and the tides would change regularly throughout the year. Even for the influence of the moon, he only came up with a concept and did not do a nuanced analysis.

Just like Sun Ce said, his "Treatise on Tides" is just a superficial beginning. What he wants to change is not only the choice of words and sentences, but also the truth behind the tide. The sun and the moon travel, this is the real avenue. can really do a good job, as Sun Ce said, the analysis is seamless, and it is definitely a big article that can be handled.

Sun Ce's words were like a tide, constantly impacting him, and it became more and more fierce and intense.

aroused Yan Ji's interest, and Sun Ce threw out Xu Yue's "Parabolic Theory" in a timely manner. Studying the trajectory of the trebuchet, Xu Yue came up with a mathematical derivation of the parabola, although the derivation is very complex and not many people can understand it, but it is a tangible result that can be used to guide the trebuchet shooting. The article is not long, except for the part of mathematical derivation, less than 100 words, but every word is fine.

Yan was inspired. It turns out that there is such a reason for simply throwing an object, and what is even more surprising is that it can be deduced mathematically. No wonder Xun Chen was deeply impressed by Sun Ce's trebuchet, and his color changed.

"The Theory of Parabolic Objects" studies the landing of parabolic objects, which has nothing to do with the sun and the moon, or even with the things themselves, but the effect of the earth on all things in the world. The tide involves not only the earth, but also the sun and the moon, and perhaps the stars. Tell me, is this a big article? ”

Holding the fluttering "Parabola", looking at Sun Ce, who was talking and laughing, Yan Ji's mind boomed, as if swallowed by the rushing river, the frog who was originally sitting in the well took this opportunity to leave the square inch, saw a broader world, a trace of fear, a trace of unease, and then felt a burst of ecstasy.

"General, how long did it take Xu Gonghe to write this "Parabola"?"

Sun Ce scratched his head. "For more than half a year. If you're interested, you can meet him, and he's in peace. ”

Yan Jian has forgotten his mission completely, and only thinks about his big article. He admired the subtlety of "The Theory of Parabola" so much that he could not ask for the opportunity to meet the author and ask for advice in person.

"Thank you, General."
