In a vacant school hall in Bowen College, Luo Xin and Yue Yun sat down with all their own people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xiao Ming stood on the podium at this time, he looked at the people below and thought that he was afraid that he would have to live the same life as Mr. Teaching in the future.

For him, it is now his advantage to popularize scientific knowledge as much as possible.

"This academy will be the academy of the Naval Academy in the future, and you will be notified of classes in the future, and you will gather here." Xiao Ming said to Yue Yun and the others.

"Yes, Your Highness." Yue Yun and the others looked excited, and their voices answered extremely loudly, how could they, the children of fishermen who were fishing at sea, think that they were qualified to take classes in the academy?

When they were young, they were very envious of those who were able to enter private schools to study, because once they were able to study, it meant that they would have the hope of becoming great officials in the future, and not being able to study meant that their fate would only be the same as that of their ancestors, and they would only be fishermen for generations.

"Naval Academy? Your Highness, should we also have an artillery academy for our artillery? Luo Xin coaxed.

Xiao Ming said with a smile: "Of course there is, the vacant room next door is the school of the Artillery Academy, and after this king gives you the method of aiming artillery, you will be responsible for lecturing the artillerymen in the future." ”

"There really is." Luo Xin laughed.

This liberal arts academy seems to outsiders to be a very mysterious place, because as an academy, it is guarded by guards, and it is as well guarded as a military camp.

And different from a small house in a private school, the area of Bowen College is very large, and there are many vacant schools in the college, and some of them are under construction, when they passed by a school just now, they saw Lu Tong teaching some strange knowledge in a school, and there was actually a group of scholars sitting below, which surprised him.

Xiao Ming nodded, for the sake of convenience, Xiao Ming is going to build Bowen College into a comprehensive college, which is also to facilitate classes, otherwise it will be enough for him to just run back and forth.

And although many scholars have been admitted to the College of Liberal Arts, with the base number of scholars in Qingzhou, there are only more than 1,000 of them.

In addition to the technical personnel of the land communication, the equipment department, the mine, and the military workshop, as well as the navy and the army in the future, the number is only more than 2,000 people, which is basically equal to the scale of a middle school in modern terms.

So, now there are basically people who only have one academy for each major.

After making this academy the academy of the Naval Academy, Xiao Ming said: "Yue Yun, you said that navigation is very simple, so this king asks you, how do you sail on the sea?" ”

"Walking along a place where you can see the land, of course?" Yue Yun looked like he was taken for granted, and his expression was a little proud, feeling that Xiao Ming also had something he didn't understand.

Xiao Ming sneered.

This school is a brick and concrete structure, that is, a modern tiled house, and he specially instructed to leave a blackboard in front of the school.

Basically, this school is not much different from modern teachers, at first the craftsman didn't know what a blackboard was, and Xiao Ming also came to guide the craftsman.

The blackboard in the school is actually very simple, but it is a glossy cement board, and it is enough to apply black paint to the cement board.

At this time, in front of Xiao Ming was chalk, and the materials of the chalk were limestone and gypsum.

In order to facilitate teaching in the classroom, he deliberately asked people to use limestone and gypsum to make modern chalk, after all, it is not a complicated process, and the cement is produced by the way.

Picking up the chalk, Xiao Ming drew a big oval on the blackboard in the school, and then sketched in the oval, and twenty minutes later, an accurate map of the world appeared in front of everyone.

"Your Highness, what is this? Maps? Where's the map? Luo Xin saw that it was a map, but he couldn't tell what it was.

"This is the map of the world, this whole is called the earth, and now we are living on the earth, and I ask another question, do you think the saying that the sky is round is right?"

Luo Xin grew up in a Confucian academic atmosphere, and he said: "Your Highness, you are joking. In Zeng Zi's "The Sky is Round", the single person asked Zeng Zi to say: The sky is round and the place is true, Zeng Zi said: The sky is round and the place is the four corners of the untouchable, it can be seen that the sky is round and the place is undoubted. ”

At this time, Yue Yun was silent, he had not received Confucian education, and the people in the fishing village were illiterate, and no one talked about it at all, he suddenly said: "Your Highness, the grass people don't know any subset of scriptures and histories, but every time we see the fishing boat coming back, we always see the sail first, and then see the hull, if the ground is square, how can this be?" ”

Xiao Ming smiled and nodded, Luo Xin's thoughts were deep-rooted, and Yue Yun was prone to suspicion because he didn't read.

"The reason why you see this is because the place where we live is round." Xiao Ming gave a conclusion.

Luo Xin immediately laughed when he heard this, as if he had heard a big joke, "Your Highness, I believe you for the rest, this forgiveness Luo Xin is rude, what has been passed down from the ancestors, Your Highness can't talk nonsense casually." ”

When he said this theory, Xiao Ming understood that he would encounter great resistance, and it was much more difficult to change the thinking of an era than it was for him to establish an industrial system.

Therefore, he never thought of expanding the popularization of this knowledge, but only spread this advanced knowledge in the Bowen College first.

But looking at Luo Xin's appearance, he basically understood what kind of encounter he would have, this Luo Xin was only a military attaché, if he told those pedantic scholars, wouldn't they want to fry the pot directly.

Sighing secretly in his heart, Xiao Ming said in his heart that there is a long way to go to popularize scientific knowledge, and he must be patient and withstand the pressure.

He said: "Luo Xin, you know a lot, then let me ask you, why after you obviously aim your artillery at a target and fire, the landing point of the shell is always a little different." ”

Speaking of this question, Luo Xin hesitated and said: "Your Highness, this is the same as a bow and arrow, the bow and arrow that is shot will always fall, and the cannonballs will be the same, more training, practice makes perfect." ”

"You don't know why." Xiao Ming said with a smile.

Luo Xin scratched his head and wondered, "What else is the reason?" ”

Although Luo Xin also used to study hard, in Xiao Ming's eyes, what he learned in ten years was only Chinese, so it is normal for future generations of the ancients to be unable to catch up.

But mathematics, physics and chemistry, Luo Xin is no different from an idiot.

Of course, the aiming of this artillery also has the principle of parabola, and the current artillery basically uses the principle of three-point and one-line aiming, and there are crosshairs and illuminators on all guns.

But these crosshairs were just for emergency at that time, and the accuracy was not accurate, and the reason why he called Luo Xin over was to teach him to calculate the parabola and adjust the crosshair, so that the place where the crosshair was aimed in the future is the landing point calculated by the parabola, and it can be hit directly.
