"I heard that you can get water from the soil and make ice from the water?" **The teenage little chubby Dun'er has a very indifferent look on his face, and the tone of his mouth is extremely cold, although he is not very old, but his body reveals a kind of indifference that rejects people thousands of miles away, and there is a feeling, as if this person is looked down upon.

Xia Hongsheng is very familiar with this kind of little brat. In later life, there was a student in his class who was smart, and it would not be an exaggeration to call him a genius, because he was too smart, and the other classmates around him couldn't keep up with his train of thought, so he looked down on any of his classmates and was unwilling to come into contact with any of them. People who are extremely talented are often conceited to the extreme, while people who are extremely smart often don't care about this. Therefore, genius does not necessarily mean that he is smart, and smart people do not necessarily have to be talented. But after all, his age is not enough, he doesn't have so much experience, and his intelligence is far beyond ordinary people, but his mind is still the mind of that age, so he will naturally look down on other people who are not as good as him. The same is true for Li Tai, he is so talented that all the problems in front of him no longer seem to be problems, which makes him feel that the people around him are not worthy of communicating with him at all. However, according to the current situation, Xia Hongsheng is obviously also classified into this category.

"Not bad." Xia Hongsheng nodded.

"Is it a spell?" Li Tai asked again.

Xia Hongsheng shrugged his shoulders: "There are no spells in this world at all. It's science, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it, it's okay to understand it as a grid for the time being. ”

"Show me!" Although Li Tai's voice was still indifferent, there was a trace of disbelief in his eyes, and he heard words from Xia Hongsheng's mouth that he didn't understand, and Xia Hongsheng said that it didn't matter, which stimulated his conceit a little.

Very good. Xia Hongsheng laughed, I just want to make you unconvinced, the more you are dissatisfied, the more obsessed you will be with science after I conquer you with science.

"It's too slow to draw water from the soil, but it's the right time to make ice from the water." Xia Hongsheng clapped his hands. Raised his hand and rubbed it on Li Tai's head, and Li Tai showed an obvious look of annoyance, and he broke away. Xia Hongsheng looked at his fingers, okay. The oil was just wiped off, too. So he turned around and shouted, "Qi Yong, bring the frost on the wall in the warehouse." ”

Qi Yong answered, and hurriedly ran to the warehouse. There are two warehouses in the house, one is the warehouse used daily by the family on weekdays, and the other is Xia Hongsheng's own warehouse. No one else was allowed to enter, and it was only these pro-soldiers that they knew what was put inside, it was all strange, and they didn't understand it. I only knew that Xia Hongsheng only allowed them to enter his private warehouse, and this trust and reliance were self-evident, so I was grateful.

There were two basins in front of him, one large and one small, and the people around him came around, and everyone just heard that Xia Hongsheng was proficient in the way of things. But taking water from the soil and making ice from the water sounds like a spell, is there such a way to find things?

The method of making ice from saltpeter, Xia Hongsheng has taught it to Mingxiangju, and the Xu family is responsible for selling it. But now that the weather is cold, this business will be temporarily suspended, and when the weather gets hot again next year, it will be good again.

As the saltpeter dissolves in the water, the water into which saltpeter is poured freezes. The water in the middle basin also froze.

Princess Xiangcheng knocked on her hand: "Ah! It's ice! ”

Everyone raised their heads in unison and looked at the bright sun in the sky. It's winter, but today it's sunny.

"It's as simple as that?" Li Tai stared at the ice in the basin, and then turned his head to look at the saltpeter in the cloth bag: "Why did this thing pour into the water." Will it freeze the water? ”

"That's not something you can say in a few words." Xia Hongsheng shrugged his shoulders: "The process of science is extremely complex, but the final result of science is extremely simple. It took countless people a lot of effort to know that saltpeter can make water freeze. But once this result is obtained, even mortals can take advantage of this and make ice in the hot summer. ”

Yes, the process of all scientific research is complex and arduous. And the final application of all scientific research results is the simplest and most convenient to use in people's hands.

Li Tai didn't speak, but there was still unconvincing in his eyes.

Xia Hongsheng saw that he was not convinced, and laughed in his heart, after all, he was still a young man, so he said again: "What, not convinced?" If I'm not convinced, how about I use this ice to take out the fire again? ”

"Ice for fire?" Li Tai's eyes froze: "I don't believe it." ”

Xia Hongsheng smiled and didn't speak, just asked Qi Yong for a short knife, turned around and dug out a large piece of ice from the ice cubes in the basin, and began to sharpen it with the short knife, cutting it into a shape that was convex in the middle of the two sides of the flat side, and then grinding it again, and put it under the sun from time to time to see, and then sharpened and sharpened again.

"Alright." Xia Hongsheng took the ice lump in his hand and looked left and right, and then gestured under the sun, and then said in the curious looks of the crowd: "Qi Yong, go to the cook and drag some chicken feathers, and bring a piece of paper by the way." ”

"Hey!" Qi Yong had a blind belief in his son-in-law, knowing that his son-in-law was going to make these princes and relatives lose their temper again, he secretly said happily in his heart, and immediately ran to get what Xia Hongsheng wanted.

Soon, Qi Yong brought something, Xia Hongsheng kneaded the paper, put it on the ground, twisted the chicken feathers, and wrapped them in the paper, only revealing a little. Then, Xia Hongsheng took the ice lump, looked up at the sun, lowered his head and adjusted the position of the ice lump in his hand, and then, everyone saw an unusually bright small point of light appear on the paper, and moved with Xia Hongsheng's hand, and finally stopped on the small handful of exposed chicken feathers.

It didn't take long for a slight smell of burnt fire to appear in the air, and under the curious onlookers of everyone, suddenly, a light smoke curled up from the handful of chicken feathers, and then I saw that the small handful of chicken feathers appeared on fire, and quickly ignited the rice paper wrapped in chicken feathers, and it burned with a breath.

Everyone was in an uproar, and several princesses were frightened, staring at Xia Hongsheng with wide eyes and stunned, as if they were looking at monsters. Li Ke and Li Chengqian were also stunned, and their mouths were still nervously muttering: "Fire...... The fire is burning...... Let's start a fire with ice! ”

Xia Hongsheng smiled: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, this is not a trick, let alone a trick." It's just a simple natural principle. In fact, it was not the ice that lit the fire, but the sun. ”

"Sun?" Li Ke looked up in confusion, and then looked down at the ice cube in Xia Hongsheng's hand: "But what you are holding in your hand is obviously an ice cube!" If the sun is lit, why doesn't the thing over there burn? ”

"That's another thing that's hard to explain in a few words." Xia Hongsheng shrugged his shoulders and turned to look at Li Tai: "Do you want to learn?" I'll teach you. ”

Li Tai was silent, just turned his face away, although there was nothing on the surface, but his eyes were bright, flashing with a look of curiosity and incomprehension. After a while, he said awkwardly: "Count, count you as powerful." Tell me first, why can ice catch fire? ”

"It's all said that it's not freezing that is on fire." Xia Hongsheng pointed to the ice cube in his hand: "Do you know why I grind the ice into this shape?" The sun emits light and heat, you can feel this, don't ask me why the sun emits light and heat, you won't understand it. You just need to know that the light and heat of the sun originally dispersed and shone down from the sky, and I can regather the scattered light and heat by grinding the ice into this shape of two sides protruding. Hey, do you see that little dot of light? The reason why it is so bright is that it is thought to be caused by the convergence of many rays of sunlight to one point. I made this shape out of ice, and the heat of the sun was concentrated at that point, and the temperature was so high that it could naturally ignite the paper. It has to be this shape, but it doesn't have to be ice, if any of you are interested, go back and make a shape out of glass, the effect of burning things will be much better than ice. ”

"You're saying that the reason why ice can ignite a fire is not because it's ice, but because it's the shape it takes?" Li Tai was very smart and immediately grasped the crux of the matter.

"Yes, you can find other things to make this shape, of course, but of course, if that kind of thing can let the light through, and the light that does not pass through, of course, it will not work." Xia Hongsheng nodded and replied.

Li Tai's eyes lit up: "Then I'll go back and try it too!" ”

Xia Hongsheng laughed: "These are all small skills of carving insects, the power of the way of objects, but it is far more than that." Cloudy and sunny, thunder and lightning, the sky enters the sea, the mountains are moved to open the road, the salt and alkali become fertile soil, and the giant city becomes powder...... These are also simple, where is there any immortal magic, discover the laws of nature, so as to use the laws of nature, people can also master the power of God! ――I can't say more, play hard, go back early, I'm afraid it's going to rain sleet tonight. ”

Xia Hongsheng could see that under his own bewitchment, in Li Tai's eyes, the original curiosity was gradually turning into a kind of fanaticism. The smarter a person is, the more he has a stronger desire to conquer and control the knowledge he doesn't know, Li Tai is a smart and amazing person, Xia Hongsheng planted a seed in his heart, fast or slow, one day, this seed can bloom the new sprouts that Xia Hongsheng hopes to see.

Everyone didn't know why, they couldn't understand what Xia Hongsheng was saying, and when they raised their heads, there was a bright sun hanging in the sky, and there was not even a trace of clouds in the blue.

Can this make it rain? (To be continued.) )
