Li Tianyang looked at a new creation sent to him by the R&D Institute, and the whole person was a little confused, and at the same time, he was annoyed in his heart, why did he forget this thing!

What was it that made Li Tianyang both shocked and annoyed?

In Li Tianyang's official office, in front of a lobby made of pear blossom wood in front of him, an object that looked like a pair of binoculars was propped up on a wooden shelf.

Needless to say, it is estimated that as long as you have studied high school, you may not be unfamiliar with it, but it is a pair of microscopes that are different from later generations, but the actual use is the same, purely developed by the ancients in the first year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty.

"Isn't this a microscope??" Li Tianyang was surprised because he had never told the members of the R&D institute about the existence and function of the microscope, and his chagrin was that he had forgotten such an object that was of great help to research.

In fact, the specific principle of the microscope is not too different from that of the telescope, but Li Tianyang was stunned that he only remembered to put the glass convex lens on the telescope, but forgot to use it for the observation of microscopic organisms.

Until now, although Huang Youran of the Salesian Bureau accepted Li Tianyang's statement about the existence of invisible bacterial organisms, they had never really seen the so-called bacterial organisms.

However, if there is a microscope, not to mention the so-called bacterial organisms, I am afraid that even plant cells can be observed with the naked eye, which will play an extremely important role in the future surgery of the Salesian Bureau, plant cultivation in the agricultural hospital, and chemical and physical research.

"Microscope? That's a good name, and it's going to be called Microscope in the future! The person who brought this microscope was still Li Tianyang's brother-in-law, the president of the R&D Institute, Chengcai: "But brother-in-law, I haven't shown you the use of the microscope yet, how do you know?" ”

Li Tianyang's eyes froze for a moment, and then he returned to normal and said: "Do you think that your head is bright, people Westerners have already invented it, I happened to hear Hongmaoyi talk about it last time, so I naturally know!" ”

"Oh!" Chengcai, who was originally very excited and proud, heard that Westerners in the original circle had invented things with the same function as them, and couldn't help but be deflated all of a sudden.

I also wanted to take this new invention to show off in front of Li Tianyang, and at the same time take the opportunity to find Li Tianyang to ask for more research and development funds, which Cheng thought he thought was a great invention, but it turned out to be something that someone else had invented a long time ago, how do you say not let Chengcai be discouraged!

But if he knew that Li Tianyang was just using his rhetoric to fool him, in fact, Li Tianyang didn't know whether Western Europe had really invented the microscope, and he didn't know how Cheng Cai would feel.

With the help of Chengcai, Li Tianyang put a bunch of gunpowder particles on the prepared glass plate, placed them under the simple microscope, and then put his eyes on the observation port, and then adjusted it again, and found that the various components of the gunpowder particles below were clearly visible after magnification.

Of course, Li Tianyang, who had really touched and used a microscope in high school, was naturally dissatisfied with the abbreviated version of the microscope in front of him.

However, Li Tianyang is also very pleased, this is the microscope that Chengcai and their R&D Institute broke away from Li Tianyang to on-demand, and the microscope they made out by themselves, although there are many unsatisfactory, but as long as they continue to improve their research and development, if they want to achieve the effect of the future generations, there will always be hope.

"What the hell are you trying to do with this thing?" Li Tianyang was even more curious about why Chengcai and the others suddenly thought of raising such a thing.

"Hey, isn't Mr. Huang forcing it? He always said that they had a lot of subtle surgeries that were too laborious to use the naked eye to manage the city, and besides, his old man was now old and his eyes were not good, but he still wanted to continue the operation, so he asked us to help make some tools! As a person who graduated from Tanmen Academy, Chengcai and they inevitably received Huang Youran's education, so they have always called him Mr.

"But you can't use this thing for surgery, can you?" Li Tianyang is even stranger.

"That is, the tool we prepared for Mr. Huang is a viewing mirror with a head, which is much simpler than that, but when we improved this observation glass, we thought of making this microscope." Many things are always invented by people inadvertently, just like the microscope now placed in front of Li Tianyang.

"Very well, you invented this thing to make a big difference, but now these functions are still too simple, but they are just a much more powerful telescope." Li Tianyang patted Chengcai's shoulder with relief, this brother-in-law, who also has three children, is still full of interest in inventing and creating, it is not easy: "In this way, I will set a goal for you, when you can use the microscope to observe the structure of this cross-section of a leaf broken on this tree, and when your microscope will be considered really successful." ”

In fact, Li Tianyang himself didn't know whether there was any difference in structure and principle between this purely physical microscope and the microscope used in their school in later generations, but don't look at it as Chengcai, they came up with the idea of making a microscope, but even they themselves don't know what this thing is for, how much effect it has to be effective, etc., which requires Li Tianyang to give a goal from the side.

Anyway, the microscope that Li Tianyang had seen and used in biology class could clearly observe the cellular structure of the plant, and if it could really be developed, it would really be able to open the eyes and knowledge of the children of Hongmen through it.

At the same time, Li Tianyang thought of the astronomical telescope, and thought of what kind of existence the so-called Chang'e Moon Palace in the sky could be seen through the astronomical telescope, and the ugly face on the surface of the moon behind the bright moonlight, as well as the existence of various astronomical phenomena.

This era already has heliocentrism, the Nicholas of the West. Copernicus's "Theory of the Movement of the Heavenly Bodies" and his short essay "Short Treatise" have been Li Tianyang's emphasis on letting Hongmen's disciples learn important books since they spread to Hongmen.

No matter how much trouble this book has brought to Hongmen, and many Confucian children who have been recruited by Hongmen or who have gone to Jilong Harbor to study by themselves have scorned it as a heresy and a demon theory of the outer gate, but Li Tianyang still did not waver, and insisted on it with his own rights and status.

However, Li Tianyang's insistence, although the new generation of Hongmen disciples accepted the existence of this new doctrine, also brought a lot of controversy within Hongmen. The old and new controversy between the geocentric theory of the round sky and the heliocentric theory that the earth revolves around the sun has always been a great source of dispute in the Hongmen cultural layer, and the biggest problem with heliocentrism is that there is no actual verification method.
