Chapter 172: Jiajing Towards Science
Chapter 172
Zhou Mengchen's face moved slightly, and Jiajing saw it. Jiajing immediately asked, "What? Do you want to tell me?"
Zhou Mengchen hurriedly said, "No. It's just that there is something very strange, and I can't be sure. Why? I can only think that it should be related to the way of life and death. Your Majesty should know that I must be bold assumptions about the truth, carefully verify it, and find a way to falsify it."
"I haven't figured out what's going on in this matter yet."
After hearing this, Jiajing said with interest: "Oh, let's hear it."
Zhou Mengchen said, "Please ask the people below to bring the generator and a frog."
Jiajing waved his hand and the person below immediately delivered the things.
Zhou Mengchen said nothing, held the frog, raised his hand and took the knife to remove the frog's head. Then he connected the wire to the frog's spine. Then he asked someone to turn the motor.
Then a magical scene appeared.
The frog moved and kicked his legs randomly.
Zhou Mengchen looked at the frog and felt nostalgic in his heart. This was a very interesting classroom experiment. However, when Jiajing saw this, he was shocked and could not believe it. He wanted to touch it with his hands. Zhou Mengchen immediately asked someone to stop the electricity. The headless frog would sniff and never move again.
Jiajing still couldn't let go for a long time. He closed his eyes and walked slowly.
Zhou Mengchen paid attention to Jiajing's steps and saw that Jiajing's steps were very regular. Then he turned around and finally returned to his original position.
Zhou Mengchen felt like he realized it and said to himself: "This is Lingbo Weibu. No, it is the sixty-four hexagram steps." Jiajing practiced many Taoist things to the core. For example, now, when he was thinking, he didn't know whether it was interesting or boring, so he stepped on a sixty-four hexagram, walked around from beginning to end, and returned to his original place.
Jiajing suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were particularly bright, and he said, "I understand."
"Thunder is the key to Yin and Yang. Mr. Zhou, you also said that Yin and Yang repel each other and generate electricity. Then lightning contains the power of life and death. When it explodes, it can cause death without a place to bury, but it also contains the magical place that makes people resurrect from the dead."
Zhou Mengchen was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
The reason why Zhou Mengchen said this matter was actually impossible.
Because Zhou Mengchen found that he could fool Jiajing, there were fewer and fewer things. Jiajing was not a foolish person. It was not that Zhou Mengchen could fool Jiajing by Zhou Mengchen, but that Zhou Mengchen had far surpassed Jiajing in his scientific literacy.
This is a victory for education.
Zhou Mengchen graduated from college after all, but Jiajing never even attended elementary school.
However, Jiajing learned things very quickly, and the various knowledge that Zhou Mengchen had already passed on, Jiajing had read and understood most of them. As Jiajing learned more, the more difficult it was for Zhou Mengchen to use some specious things to fool Jiajing.
Because science is not metaphysics. Science is a method-theory. If you master this method, you can deduce and judge it yourself.
Seeing Jiajing's current appearance and Jiajing's specious conclusion, Zhou Mengchen suddenly thought of a solution in his mind and said in his heart: "Instead of asking me to find a way to deceive him, it's better to let him find a way to deceive himself. Yes. That's it."
Zhou Mengchen immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty's insights have been revealed before, and I have suddenly realized the knowledge of my master. Your Majesty has already obtained three flavors of it. But I have always proved it through real evidence. I don't know what method your Majesty should prove it. This is a point."
After hearing this, Jiajing held his jaw with his hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "All this research is based on the research of electricity. I am not sure what electricity is? The power of birth and death in electricity cannot be studied. So, I decided to study electricity first. It's just that I have no idea how to study it. Mr. Zhou, can you give me some advice?"
Zhou Mengchen said, "Your Majesty, you are stumping me. Electricity is a new thing, and my research on electricity has just begun. There is no progress. However, I think that Your Majesty can proceed from several directions, the first is to give a unit to determine electricity. The second is to try to use different things and observe different discoveries."
"This experiment was actually a sudden attack. I made this discovery by firing the frog that just died."
Jiajing said, "I understand."
Immediately, Jiajing became interested in electrostatic disease and did not have the intention to talk to Zhou Mengchen. He also talked about electrostatic disease with Zhou Mengchen. Finally, Zhou Mengchen was released from the palace.
Of course, Zhou Mengchen was also speaking out his words about Yan Shifan in the Zhou family that day, especially his contempt for the great doctor who wrote inscriptions sincerely.
Jiajing did not say anything, as if he hadn't heard it.
After Jiajing saw Zhou Mengchen away, he immediately said to Huang Jin: "Let Feng Bao come to see me immediately."
Today, Jiajing suddenly had a new idea. He said intimately: "I place all my research on immortality on Zhou Mengchen, but Zhou Mengchen doesn't seem to take this matter to heart, or even somewhere. It seems to be lying to me."
Jiajing is not a fool.
He just didn't understand some things very well. But some things could be seen from Zhou Mengchen's tone and expression.
"After thinking about it, it is better to seek oneself than to seek others." Jiajing said in his heart: "And the secret of immortality is the greatest treasure in the world. How can we restrain the friendship between a monarch and a minister? Besides, Zhou Mengchen and I are already a little disconnected."
Jiajing remembered Xu Fu.
Xu Fu is gone forever. Jiajing felt that it was probably Xu Fu who wanted to enjoy immortality and wanted to enjoy it alone. Jiajing felt that if he was Xu Fu, he would definitely do this. Moreover, Zhou Mengchen felt that he was very disguised in front of Jiajing. But Jiajing also felt that in many things, Zhou Mengchen no longer trusted Jiajing as much as before.
Jiajing never reflects on what he did wrong.
I just feel that Zhou Mengchen is not fully trusting in sharing the secret of immortality.
No, no one can trust this matter completely.
It is best to study the medicine for immortality and immortality yourself. Or the method of immortality.
Jiajing has long mastered some scientific reasoning, analysis and argumentation methods for Zhou Mengchen. Moreover, there are many people below him who serve him and do not need to do specific experiments. He just needs to propose projects, design experiments, and then analyze and argue.
Jiajing only felt that this matter was much easier than Taoist practice and meditation.
Before, Jiajing only proposed some verification experiments to verify some of Zhou Mengchen's statements, such as the explosion of the big iron barrel. From now on, Jiajing began to truly intervene in scientific research and explore the unknown with scientific methods.
It's just a lot of things that look easy and are difficult to do.
As for whether Jiajing can find out the special current that can revive the electric power in electricity.
I can only wait and see.
After Zhou Mengchen left the palace, he quickly put what happened in the palace aside.
There were more things in front of me. It was getting late. He couldn't leave the city either. So he went home immediately and asked Yin Zhengmao and Yang Jisheng to talk at home.
Zhou Mengchen and the two of them came, put on a few simple side dishes, poured a glass of wine for each of them, picked up the wine glass, and clinked it, and then said, "Your Majesty has just issued an order. I will not come to the military weapon supervisor. I will be transferred to the Ministry of War Frame Department. I told Your Majesty that I would take a few. Your Majesty agrees and can be transferred to the original position. Who do you want to go?"
When Yin Zhengmao heard this, he was a little moved at first, weighed the pros and cons, and said, "I won't go anymore. Brother Yang, come here."
Zhou Mengchen was a little surprised and said, "Brother Yin, you really won't go?"
Yin Zhengmao said, "I really won't go."
Zhou Mengchen felt a little strange inside.
Yin Zhengmao is the most greedy for money. The military weapon surveillance has long been changed to a Qingshui Yamen by Zhou Mengcheng. If the business is busy, there may be bonuses, but now the business is very light. It seems that the Ming Dynasty suddenly entered a peaceful and prosperous era, and everyone has stopped.
Therefore, the military weapon supervision can no longer smell oil and water.
Compared with military weapons supervision, the Ministry of War has always been fat and has ice and charcoal underneath. Among the various allocations of the Ministry of War, geese can also pluck the feathers. In the late Ming Dynasty, the silver issued by the imperial court was deducted from the Ministry of Revenue, and the number of deducted from the Ministry of War. After the generals, the soldiers had never seen the silver guarantor.
