Chapter 25 Basic Chemistry
If Tang Yi heard Yin Zhu's evaluation, he would have to blush with shame. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
If Uncle Ma knew that Tang Yi had plagiarized his materialism, it is estimated that he would have chased him to the Northern Song Dynasty to destroy him.
Besides, Tang Yi didn't study philosophy, so it's okay to fool a few sentences of 'Ma Si' from the university, and let him explain it more deeply, or use it to solve problems, which is a bit nonsense.
However, this is not to say that Tang Yi can stay out of the matter, while causing the Song people to think deeply, Tang Yi is also torturing himself - I ..... Is there something you can do?
Because of his contact with Fan Zhongyan, Tang Yi began to see step by step the demeanor of the top talents in the Great Song Dynasty. I have to say, Tang Yi is shocked! Tang Yi admired!
I was shocked that people can really live so purely, and admired their unswerving loyalty to the nation and country to the death.
What can I do? Tang Yi asked himself.
In fact, what he can do is really limited, he can use some of the insights mastered by later generations to change some details of the life of the Song people. However, he can't change anything about the general trend of the world.
In words a thousand years later, Tang Yi is just a professional, and what Da Song needs is an omnipotent saint and a god-like existence.
And Tang Yi obviously can't do that.....
...
Since you can't change anything, let's leave something behind!
.........
Tang Yi, who returned to Tang Ji, gradually had a vague concept in his heart.
I stumbled upon a few pieces of wood in the corner, which were half-made guitars. It seems that since Fan Zhongyan came to Tang Ji that day, Tang Yi has not had time to touch it.
Picking up the half-polished acoustic guitar, Tang Yi sighed gloomily.
"It seems that Da Song doesn't have this ear blessing for the time being!"
Tang Yi carefully put away the headstock, wood, knives, and planing files.
Then I found a knife of straw paper and a pen and inkstone.
grinded,
On the pen paper,
A few crooked ink words leaped onto the paper
-- Basic Chemistry.
......
That's right, Tang Yi studied polymer chemistry in his previous life, and his family's business is also related to chemistry, and their family is a firecracker factory. Otherwise, Tang Yi would not have graduated a few days ago, and as soon as he took over the family's factory, he sent him to the Great Song Dynasty with a loud bang.
And the only thing he can do now is chemistry.
When he first arrived in the Great Song Dynasty, Tang Yi once pondered, "Could it be? God also thinks that the Great Song Dynasty is too wretched, and it is a pity that it is declining? Send me to save Chinese civilization?
Otherwise, why did he let him pass through to study chemistry? ā
However, only half a month later, Tang Yi knew that he was thinking too much.
The rapid development of a single discipline is not enough to change the general trend of civilization.
The reason is very simple, with the scientific and technological level of the Great Song Dynasty, it cannot support the establishment of the discipline of chemistry at all!
To put it bluntly, Tang Yi can say that matter is composed of atoms and molecules, and new substances can be generated between different molecules under certain conditions. However, how does Tang Yi prove the existence of atoms and molecules?
The electron microscope can directly see the molecular structure, but Tang Yi can't make it! It is a product of modern civilization, not to mention the electron microscope, even the most basic optical microscope, and he can't fix it.
Didn't the Westerners also establish the discipline of chemistry without a microscope?
It's true, but it's not that simple at all.
Modern civilization is a qualitative change in which basic science has accumulated to a certain amount. It is the explosion of civilization produced by the mutual support of multiple disciplines.
We all know that chemical experiments are inseparable from various instruments, and these chemical instruments are manufactured through physics knowledge, mathematics, geometry and other disciplines.
For example, if Tang Yi wants to do a chemical experiment, then he has to make the glass before he can have beakers and test tubes for him to use; Tang Yi wants to electrolyze water, okay, then you have to invent electricity first, and then get the sealing material out.
Tang Yi may be able to bring some changes to the life of the Great Song Dynasty through what he learned in his previous life. But that kind of change is also limited, and it is not enough to change the course of civilization, at most it is a lard or something.
Some people may say that Tang Yi doesn't have to do anything, just get the explosives out and blow up Liao, Jin, and Mongolia into the sky.
Hehe......
Tang Yi, who often soaked in military forums in later generations, knew very well that before the advent of automatic rifles, the threat of hot weapons to cavalry was extremely limited.
The flintlock musket, a single thermal weapon, was already available in the middle of the XVI century, and the time of artillery was even earlier. However, it was not until the First World War at the beginning of the twentieth century, with the advent of the rifle, that the era of the Great Cavalry charge was replaced by a torrent of steel.
Can Tang Yi make a rifle? Obviously not!
That's not just gunpowder, it's something that can only meet people after learning a certain level of materials science and technology and mechanical engineering.
Even if Tang Yi can use glycerin to synthesize explosives, according to the level of the Great Song Dynasty, at most, he will make a few soil mines and explosives bags and throw them around. It still can't change the fact that the Great Song Army is weak. Song's weakness is not in equipment at all, but due to the lack of system and the weakness of geographical conditions.
Maybe.....
Tang Yi can put forward a concept of firearms, and then with a large number of craftsmen, through decades of unremitting efforts, can drum up the most primitive flintlock pistol, which is not enough to fight against cavalry.
And, don't forget, if the gun were to fall into the hands of the cavalry, it would be a terrible thing.
If the Mongol Tartars were to replace the knives and bows in their hands with muskets, then Genghis Khan would not have swept across Europe and Asia, and this goods would have unified the earth.
After thinking about all this, Tang Yi simply gave up the dream of rejuvenating the Song Dynasty with chemistry, and lived a life of small prosperity and peace of mind.
However, these days, Fan Zhongyan, Yin Zhu, including Fan Chunren, have been very touched by Tang Yi. As a son and daughter of China, the national consciousness of the family and the country is deeply rooted in the bone marrow.
In the past, Tang Yi could still comfort himself with "No matter how Jin and Meng tossed, after a thousand years, Huaxia will still be Huaxia, and they will not die". But since he met this old man, Tang Yi, who had the idea of pulling the old man out of the whirlpool of history, knew that he was wrong.
There is no China after Yashan, and there is no China after the death of the Ming Dynasty!
The roots of Chinese civilization for thousands of years are in the Great Song Dynasty, and the pinnacle of the Han family is also in the Great Song Dynasty.
"Basic Chemistry", this is what Tang Yi is best at. Perhaps, no one can understand it now, and it is not needed.
But, what about 10 years from now, 100 years from now? Civilization will continue to move forward, and when it accumulates to a certain height, it will naturally change the world. At that time, there must be people who will understand the meaning of "Basic Chemistry" and take a little less detours.
Not only the Chinese civilization, but perhaps the course of the world's civilization will also change because of this.

Basic Chemistry
Chapter 1: Changes and Properties of Matter
.........
Tang Yi put this subject after a thousand years on the paper of the Great Song Dynasty in accordance with the order of the middle school textbooks of later generations.
Although, Tang Yi's calligraphy is extremely bad, and it is simply unsightly. However, he still wrote very seriously, and his eyes sparkled.
Because he realized that every stroke, every element symbol, and every chemical formula he wrote down now had the potential to change the course of human civilization.
Even he will fantasize very badly, a thousand years later, when a Chinese shakes this "Basic Chemistry" to the world and says, see? Chemistry, as early as a thousand years ago, we already had it!
