Lan Ruochan

Chapter 51

"Although I come from the Li family in Longxi, the red flowers and green leaves belong to the same family.

Therefore, he still has some understanding of the family affairs of the Li family in Zhao County.

It was obvious that their preparations were hasty for sending off their son and getting married this time.

There is no female of the right age in the branch of the Li family in Liang Guo to conceive. "

The little dragon king snorted coldly,
"I'm afraid that Li Tianci is no longer useful!"

"Emperor Xianwen also bestowed a marriage on Li Tianci back then, choosing a woman of the right age from the eldest grandson of the Xianbei nobles and Dugu's family.

This marriage standard is also the same as that of the royal family.

So officially speaking, Li Tianci also has three Li family heirs,

The youngest one is still in his infancy, which shows that he is still in his prime! "

Qingyun's brain circuit is naturally relatively simple, so he asked curiously,

"I'm afraid that the descendants of Daja gave up the throne?"

Li Shenjun naturally scoffed at this statement,

"Give up? In fact, if the heir born in the emperor's family is completely divorced from the Li family, there will be no evidence left.

In order to avoid suspicion, they will never see each other again in this life.

But if this unspoken rule is a royal scandal after all,

Once it is time for someone to make up their minds to erase it, I am afraid that none of the relevant survivors will be left behind.

So for those Tuoba who escaped into the Li family,

Only when you see your direct blood ascending the throne will you feel at ease.

It was a matter of life and death, the survival of the family, how could they give up? "

The little dragon king sighed,
"The main purpose of our coming today is not for that Li Tianci, it's best if we don't see him.

Since there are such big figures here, they will be arranged to meet guests in the main hall.

Second brother, you are familiar with this place, is there any way to lead us around the main hall?

Presumably those people from Southern Qi would not be involved in such dirty things, so let's go directly to them. "

Li Shenjun was overjoyed when he heard the words,

"I will go with you!"

"Oh? Didn't you come here to inquire about Mrs. Li's marriage? What are you doing with us?"

"How can I get in the scene of the main hall at this time?

Yesterday, the Hulu army made such a big battle, and I also wanted to see if any old friends had arrived. "

Qingyun seemed to think of something, nodded to Li Shenjun,
"The Ren Shentong you mentioned that day did indeed appear in the Taishi."

"Oh? Is he here too?"

Xiao Yan was also slightly moved.

In the old days, in the palace of King Jingling, the eight friends drank and sang wildly, denouncing the injustice of the world,
Thinking about it now, it seems like yesterday.

It's just that even his old friend can't see clearly which boat this supernatural power is stepping on.

Seeing the shape in front of him, Yuzhi stopped talking nonsense, stretched out his right hand and said to everyone,

"Everyone, please follow me!"

The mountain path leads to a secluded place, an ancient path with sheep intestines, when it is narrow, it is difficult for two people to stand side by side.

Sometimes stepping on a single tree to cross the stream, sometimes needing mountain vines to climb the wall,
After walking for about half an hour, I saw another courtyard.

Qingyun here naturally knows that it is the place where he made the Maitreya mirror that day.
It's just that at that time all people walked the Yangguan Road, how did they know that there were other paths like this in the secluded forest?
Push open the chai gate, and there is a courtyard.

Some simple rain-proof sheds were built there.

A huge tree trunk stretched across it, covering almost half of the space.

Next to it is a slightly thinner tree with a straight trunk and dark color, and the strange fragrance it emits is refreshing.

This place is obviously temporarily designated as a storage warehouse for Yizhou timber.

Hearing the voices of people coming from Lijin's courtyard, Lizhi was very relieved, it seemed that the construction of Feiyuan was not delayed by the presence of distinguished guests, so he hurriedly led everyone in.

The courtyard inside is obviously more spacious, filled with processed wood of different sizes.

Flying kite's body and wings have clearly taken shape.

But what surprised me was not the progress of the carpentry, but the kite appreciators in the courtyard at this time.

The room has long been cleared away, and there are only four people left.

Daoist Guanyun and Hojo were naturally familiar with each other for a long time,
But the skinny old man with immortal demeanor behind him, and the middle-aged Taoist priest with a red face, he didn't know each other.

At this time, the identity of the guest who needs to be accompanied by Daoist Guanyun in person is not hard to guess.

It's just a bit embarrassing to meet in this form,
The one who wanted to hide but didn't dodge, just bumped into his arms.

Seeing so many people popping out from the backyard, the skinny old man couldn't help stroking his beard and smiling, and greeted everyone slightly.

Before waiting for Taoist Guanyun to introduce, he opened his mouth first,

"En! This is Tao Tongming's disciple, right?

He has the style of being a teacher, and he is full of cleverness.

kindness!good!

Hey?Why is Tier here?
Come, come, come, long time no see, come and let the ancestors have a look! "

Tao Tongming is the surname of Mr. Huayang Tao Hongjing, and by calling him this way, he is self-righteous as an elder.

Ti'er is Li Shenjun's nickname. To be able to call out this name, he must be very familiar with the Li family in Longxi.

As soon as these words were uttered, who else could not guess the origin of this person?
This veteran is naturally the elder of the Li family in Longxi, the master of Xuandu temple, Li Xuandu.

Li Shenjun could only move over obediently like a little chicken, and lowered his head to let the skinny palm caress the top.

"These young friends are so nervous!
Why didn't Tier introduce him to the ancestor? "

An old monster like Li Xuandu can no longer talk about his seniority.

Therefore, when he was talking, even Daoist Guanyun didn't dare to intervene.

Li Shenjun carefully introduced the people who came with him one by one,
Li Xuandu nodded while hearing this, and at the same time did not forget to say a few words of praise, most of the compliments were from the elders of the people,

For example, Tuoba Zhongkui was famous for his bravery in the past,

Qing Chen Er Xia was sharp back then,

The story of Xiao Shunzhi's killing Xue Suo'er, the titan of the Xue family,
Taishi's family of heroes from generation to generation...

A person who has lived for a long time is like a book with too many stories to tell.

After Li Shenjun finished his introduction, the old Taoist stroked Feiyuan's skeleton with his hand, and said to Zu Tiezhi with a smile,

"I heard that you want to use this thing to fly across the two peaks?"

He hurriedly answered yes.

"This is almost hot!

Young people are always indifferent.

This flying kite can only dive, not ascend,

If you rush to the opposite cliff, you can only make a pile of broken wood, what can you do? "

Di Zhi and Qing Yun looked at each other in blank dismay, although they knew what the other said was a bit too harsh, after all, as long as Fei Yuan drives properly, they are still sure of the power to protect themselves.

But they also know that the success rate of this plan is not very high,
Coupled with the seniority of the old Taoist priests, how could they dare to talk back?

Nono can only say yes.

"Hey, what is it!

I am an old man, but I am not confused!

You said yes at the top, but you are not convinced,

Think I can't see it? "

Jizhi and the others couldn't touch this old man's temper at all, so they didn't dare to speak.

Fortunately, the veteran did not intend to embarrass you juniors, so he glanced at Qingyun,
"I heard that Master Tangong came from the lineage of Guigu. I wonder if it's true?"

Qingyun bowed and said yes.

In fact, he also heard about the past of the Tan Palace from Caiting, Seke, and the place where he was.

The great god in front of him was not easy to coax, he only picked some brief and conclusive inheritance relationships, which roughly explained the bond between Guigu Tangong.

The old Taoist stroked his beard lightly and nodded secretly.

"Well, the little guy has a good heart.

Pragmatism is not false, what is said is solid evidence, and there is no legend or exaggeration.very good! "

Then he took out a booklet from his sleeve,
"In recent years, the old Taoist has refined the Dao Zang three thousand,
I am very interested in all kinds of loose and lonely books.

I recently got a book, which has a lot to do with your Tan Palace.

I came here all the way from Fenxi, and I was bored on the road, so I just copied a copy, so I will give it to you! "

Qingyun hurriedly thanked him and took it, only to see the words "捭阿策" on the cover of the book, and thought to himself,

"Isn't this a copy of Guiguzi?

Although it has something to do with the Tan Palace, there are many copies of this book, and it is sold in ordinary bookstores, so what's so special about it? "

He was muttering in his heart, that old Taoist was like a roundworm in his stomach,
"What? You're thinking, what's so special about an ordinary "Guiguzi", isn't it?"

Qingyun hastily said he didn't dare.

The old Taoist snorted coldly,
"Have you read this book?"

Qingyun should be.

"Then test your eyesight first, and see how the manuscript in your hand is different?"

Qingyun's heart trembled, and he hurriedly opened the scroll in his hand to read.

The hand-copied books at that time were naturally not like today, where the table of contents was marked first, so it was clear at a glance.

It is really not easy to check the increase or decrease of this content.

Fortunately, "Guiguzi" is also considered as a must-read list for Tangong's sect. Qingyun flipped through it briefly, and he really got a glimpse of the mystery.

"Guiguzi" is divided into three chapters.

The twelve volumes of the first part are about the tricks and tricks, which is the most complete and the most famous part in the world.

The middle chapter is said to be divided into two volumes, the first volume is Zhuanwan, and the second volume is Yunran, which was lost in Qin Dynasty.

For the next chapter, there is only an outline, and the content is not complete.

Among them, there are only a few words, and it is difficult to see the whole leopard.

But the manuscript in Qingyun's hand, named Zhuanwan and Yunran, has dozens of pages.

As for the part about the spells in the next chapter, although it is not complete, it is much more detailed than ordinary manuscripts, and the principles of all the spells are briefly analyzed.

Zu Dianzhi on the side was actually looking at this book all the time.

He is naturally familiar with the ordinary version of "Guiguzi", so he also quickly discovered the peculiarity of the copy in front of him.

When Qingyun turned back and read the novel carefully, he shoved the latter with his shoulder.

Qingyun understood immediately, slowed down, and read carefully.

The two chapters of Zhuan Wan and Yun Luan are neither tricks nor tricks, but some discussions about the principles of nature.

Zhuanwan believes that the world is divided into yin and yang, and yin and yang reciprocate to maintain the balance of the world.

Day and night, heat and cold, alternating circles,

Beasts are male and female, humans are male and female, electricity has thunderbolts,

Qi has clearness and turbidity, or transforms or combines, and checks and balances each other.

The chaos chapter is even more profound,

The beginning of the chapter clearly states that the place where the wings grow is the place where the wings are born, and the wings are opened, which the ancient sages could not seek;
Those who are in chaos are reasonable.

("Kangxi Dictionary" quotes "Jade Pian", which is a dictionary of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and its explanations are derived from ancient Chinese.)
Those who cannot be cured want to be cured (from "Shuowen"),

Those who do not understand the reason must discern the reason.

The chaotic ones, the brave ones spread their wings to discern the reason,
Whether it's okay or not, it's hard to tell if you don't do it yourself.

This text makes my hairs stand on end,

It turns out that this chaotic article is about some settings and assumptions about Feitian technology.

Although it is stated in the article that these theories are still in the stage of exploration, they are, after all, great wisdom beyond the times.
For a technical geek like him, the attraction naturally overwhelms everything else.

He couldn't help but snatched the copy from Qingyun's hand, and looked through it carefully.

Li Xuan on the side saw it and just smiled.

Of course, he is the oldest old man here, if he doesn't speak, everyone will follow along to watch the play, without saying much.

It is said in the Pian Luan that the ancient sages had tried to fly to the sky long ago, and it can be traced back to the period of Shang Zu Taiyi Huang.

At that time, the Yin and Shang tribes still regarded the Xiahou clan as the head,
Among the Yin tribe, there is a king who is enfeoffed in Tudi——Wang Tu, who is a fan of Flying Astronomy.

At that time, he made the Eight Diagrams Chair, concealing Liujia in the Eight Gates, using the number of 48,
Take yourself as the door of Jiazisheng, and place bamboo tubes in the other 47 to fill with Yangyuan.

Then he put himself on a high platform and ordered 47 servants to detonate the Yang Yuan at the same time.

The gossip chair goes straight to the sky, and later generations will never know where it is.

In Guiguzi's view, Wang Tu's flying device was at least half successful.
However, the entire airframe only considered take-off, not control and landing, which was a failed design.

Then began to comment on various methods that can improve these shortcomings, among which Gongshu Feiyuan was mentioned.

He thought that Feiyuan solved control and falling, and Yang Yuantong solved rising.

The combination of the two can perfectly fly.

Seeing this, Zu Tingzhi was so excited that his voice trembled a little.
"Dao, Daoist, what is this Yang Yuan?"

"Oh, you can take a look at the previous Zhuanwan chapter."

Zu Ting hurriedly read forward,

The two volumes are next to each other, and without turning a few pages, I found the method of making Yang Yuan:

Cathode leads to yang, anode leads to yin.

Xihai Yanchi, the morning dew in the rainy season, gathers the yin and yang of heaven and earth, and is extremely violent.

It is necessary to build a well a hundred feet deep, and in an extremely shady place, mix it with dirty water,

Wait for the wind to dry and the water to dry up, and take the frost, which is Yangyuan.

When Yang Yuan is exposed, it explodes, spreading for a radius of hundreds of feet.

Plug it with a tube, draw it with an open fire, and it can go up against the sky, piercing the clouds and piercing the sun, this is its god.

It is not easy to refine, especially difficult to store, be careful!

"This!"

When Zu Tingzhi read this, he was quite disappointed.

It seems that this Yangyuan is very particular about the materials used. It must be prepared from the rainy season morning dew in the salt pond of the West Sea, and it must be prepared from a dry deep well in the Gobi. Guiguzi also laments that it is not easy to prepare.

Where can I get enough raw materials to improve Feiyuan in this short period of time?
Li Xuandu didn't think anything different when he saw this, he asked with fascinated old eyes and whiskers,

"Children of the grandparents.

According to this book, if there is Yang Yuan to help,

Do you think it can help the flying kite to soar? "

Zu Tingzhi thought for a while, then took out something from his bosom,

"This is a wooden magpie that I took a few corner pieces the day before yesterday.

The proportion of the wooden magpie coincides with that of the flying kite. I tried to fly it many times when I was bored.
There have been general studies on the point of application of force required to maintain its flight.

I also have some less powerful Yehu fans here, which can simulate Yangyuan for dynamic tests.

I think Wang Tu's 47-point method is too mysterious and not practical.
With the improvement of the test results, it should be possible to provide lift for the flying kite more reasonably. "

"Oh! Then count your lucky boy.

I did bring some self-made Yang Yuan here,
Originally, I wanted to wait for your master to come and verify the technique of "Ghost Valley" with him.

Now that your flying kite is complete, if you can use it to transform the Fenghuo flying kite, that would be even more wonderful.

It’s just that this treasure is really difficult to make. I’ve been poor for ten years, and I can’t get more than one bottle.
And they must be filled with saltpeter water to prevent the container from overheating.

Such ten years of saltpetre consumption,
Hey, if it weren't for the Li family in Longxi, it might be as poor as a country, and it might not have such technology and resources to support it.

Such a precious material, ten years of savings, I don't want to be ruined by you kid! "

"No, no! I will try again and again, take the safest method, and let the flying kite take off!"

"Well! Seeing you, kid, seems to have seen your master back then.

It's not in vain for a bad old man of my age to hide in the wild view of the Northwest, with a poor book and a brilliant head, sorting out "Tao Cang". "

The young Xiao Yan was listed among the eight friends of Jingling, he was talented in literature, talked about classics, when did he become a descendant?

Hearing this, I couldn't help interjecting,
"This Taoist priest, who secretly heard about the world's poems and books,

There is nothing better than "Jing", "Poetry", "Zi" and "Ji".

This so-called "Taoist Canon" is nothing but the words of the Taoists, how long can it exist in the world? "

Hearing this, Li Xuandu's eyes were slightly displeased.

He turned his face to look at Xiao Yan, and saw that the other person's eyes were clear, full of seeking knowledge, and he didn't seem to be teasing intentionally, so he felt relieved and patiently explained,
"Road to Road, very Avenue.

Taoism has never been a family language, but the law of the operation of everything in the world.

Confucianism, Legalism emphasizes reason, Taoism emphasizes yin and yang,
We don't study those so-called "small words and big meanings", but only study the laws of the world.

Of course, there are also a small number of people who have become obsessed with evil spirits, played up mysteries, and entered the ways of witches and evil spirits.

However, the so-called evil can never prevail, and the theory of the righteous way must be sorted out by someone.

My Chinese characters have survived for thousands of years,
For thousands of years, besides the "Classic" and "History", there have been countless books.

However, if you don't follow Confucianism, you don't list classics and biographies. What a pity?

Fortunately, there are always people like Wang Guigu, Zhang Pingzi, Ge Baopu, Lu Jianji, Kou Fuzhen, and Tao Huayang who uphold justice.

In the past, Mr. Jianji first mentioned the classification of the three caves, and reorganized the collected thousands of volumes of lost books.

The so-called three-hole method is based on this "Guiguzi".

The first chapter of "Guiguzi" is close to the Confucian scholars, writing Neo Confucianism, claiming the name, and explaining the basic viewpoints.

The middle part puts forward some assumptions about the law of the avenue, records some well-documented designs, and adds his own annotations and comments.

The next part is some hearsay, the secret technique whose principle cannot be explained with the current knowledge, for future generations to verify and refine.

All these three kinds are classified into three caves, which are Dongxuan, Dongzhen, and Dongshen.

The meaning of metaphysics, the art of clear talk is Dongxuan;

Expound the way and seek the truth, and what is said is the truth;

Chasing the gods and sacs, everyone in the world is the god of the cave.

Those corrupt Confucians who think that having read a few "Classics", "Poems", "Zi" and "Collections" means that they have read all the books in the world,
Useless, not enough and seek. "

Li Xuandu completely refuted Xiao Yan's point of view, seeming to be tit for tat, but Xiao Yan didn't take it at all.

Today he saw with his own eyes the other volume of "Ghost Valley" contained in "Tao Cang", in which what is added and lost is the essence.

However, the Confucianism part of the first part of the current world is well preserved.

I'm afraid it has something to do with Li Zuoxiang and Dong Gongyang's suppression of Baijia in the old days.

If you don't read the "Jing" and "Dian", you don't know the truth of China;

It is difficult to realize the millennium road by only reading the "Classics" and "Dian".

How many people are there who are erudite but not pedantic true national scholars throughout the ages?
Li Xuandu dragged his old voice and continued,
"The avenue is vast, how can it be exhausted with pen and ink.

Relying on the thousands of years of accumulation of the Li family in Daoism in Longxi, Lao Dao was able to collect many fragments of scattered books, but he still hadn't seen the way of Dao.

Compared with Tao Tongming's junior, he thinks he is much worse.

Many expositions of the Way require a wise person like Mr. Tongming, in order to see through the hole and follow the hole to return the truth of the hole. "

Li Xuandu squinted all around, seeing that it had become his own speech hall at this time,
Everyone was submissive, and suddenly lost interest.

So he turned his head to look at Daoist Guanyun,

"Kids these days are too reserved,

Guan Yun, how about borrowing a place from you so we can sit down and talk?

You here, should not help the bar? "

Kou Guanyun hurriedly apologized with a smile,
"Ah, it's true that alcohol is usually prohibited.

But there are also some filial water and wine hidden by believers for sacrificial use.

I think it's time to eat, how about asking the old god to move to the inner hall and talk again? "

The vegetarian food in the inner hall has already been prepared,
Although there are a few more uninvited guests, it is just a matter of adding a few tables and chopsticks.

It's rare that this old fairy is very interested in talking, so naturally no one spoiled his interest.

Li Xuandu, an old bastard, must be an alcoholic on weekdays, the first thing he does when he sits down is to toast,

I didn't invite people to drink together, but I just drank a bowl first to test the strength of the wine.

According to his qualifications, the seat he was sitting on was the chief alcove seat,

The first cup of sacrificial wine at the banquet, he should have come to drink the toast,
It's just that drinking like this is not a common practice.

The first bowl of wine in his stomach, he was obviously not happy, he curled a pair of white eyebrows into a snake shape, and cursed angrily,
"What kind of shit is this, fade out like a bird.

Compared with Fenxi's Bailuojiu, it's not even as good as water. "

When it came to wine, someone finally dared to talk to him.

The little dragon king also held the bowl and laughed,
"Bailuojiu is in Luoyang, it's worth tens of thousands of gold.

Right now, only Liu's Distillery sells it, and the annual output is very limited.

It is said that the song needs to be released in spring, and exposed to the urn in summer, leaving a hole to guide it with a reed pipe.

Take it in vain, and then seal it in a mud cellar.

Even in a year with good weather and few rainy days, only a few bottles can be produced.

If you are unlucky and encounter a rainy year, you won't be able to drop half of the bottle! "

The old Taoist heard his beard and hair all stretched out,
"Trash! Trash!

That, the kid from the ancestors,

Next time you go to Luoyang, go to this Liu's winery to have a look.
Teach these crap.

There are thousands of magic treasures recorded in my Dao Zang,
Why do people in this world abandon it because of the harsh words of those rotten scholars? "

Zu Tingzhi also responded with a smile,

"According to what the little dragon king said, this white wine should be distilled to increase the alcohol.

The use of the distillation method has been established in the Dan family as early as the Han Dynasty.

If distilled wine can be made into good wine, it is indeed not difficult. "

Li Xuandu stroked his beard and smiled in relief, and teased Xiao Yan,
"Look, how about my Taoist methods?
According to the latitude and longitude in the abdomen of Tao Tongming in the Southern Dynasty,

Thinking that the prime minister is also more than capable. "

Xiao Yan also raised his glass and drank it all.

"Then accept the auspicious words of the old god.

If Xiao can one day step up to Dan Bi,

Mr. Huayang will definitely be recommended as prime minister. "

The old Taoist waved his hand,
"Hey, don't rush, don't rush.

there will be a day,

Your position will be a little bit higher than the current expectations. "

Xiao Yan is quite ambitious,

All he wants is to bring order out of chaos in the Southern Qi Dynasty, go out to the generals and enter the prime minister, and lead the imperial court.

At this time, Li Xuan said that his achievements in the future will be a little bit higher than his expectations,

how?Could it be possible to defeat Emperor Qi?

At this time, Xiao Yan naturally didn't have such an awareness, he just took it as a joke, nodded his head, and smiled without saying a word.

Seeing that the atmosphere has been set off well at this time,
Under the influence of alcohol, everyone's chatterbox is gradually opening up, not as stiff as when they first met.

Li Xuandu lost his old eyes and looked around, knowing that the time had almost come, and it was time to start chatting about something dry, so he dropped the wine bowl heavily.

There was a "pop", and the audience was completely silent.

"""""Knock on the blackboard time"""""

We will talk about the history of Chinese distilled spirits in the following article. We must be reasonable and well-founded, and present hard facts to explain how the era of the birth of Chinese distilled spirits has been seriously underestimated.

In this section we mainly talk about two points:

One is the legend about "ten thousand households flying into the sky".This legend may be more widely spread abroad than in China. It is said that the first person in the world to make an attempt to fly into the sky was a Chinese official named Wan Hu. 47 servants ignited 47 rockets and ascended to heaven in a flying chair.

This record is now often referred to as a pseudo-canon, because it originated in a foreign scientific journal and lacks a corresponding original text in Chinese classics.This story first appeared in "Scientific American" magazine in 1909. It has been widely quoted in various books, newspapers and periodicals, and the refurbished version was finally brought back to China by Professor Qian Xuesen.

The main reason for the inability to correspond to the original text may be the restoration of the phonetic translation.Attempts such as flying into the sky were basically the research content of Taoism in ancient China, and Confucian scholars did not play with these things.Therefore, it is difficult to find similar stories in major classics.In most versions, this Wan Hu is from the Ming Dynasty, probably because the birth of gunpowder can be confirmed at that time.But in fact, in the original version in 1909, this version talked about an attempt made by a nobleman named Wang Tu in 2000 BC, using a kite, a seat, and a 47-level rocket to try to fly into the sky.In 2000 BC when China was in the Xia and Shang Dynasties, if this original text really existed, it must have come from a lost article written by a certain son in the pre-Qin period.

In the pre-Qin period, the flying kite and wood magpie can be seen.Among the pre-Qin technical houses, Guiguzi may be second only to Gongshuzi and Mozi.And "Guiguzi" does have a lost chapter about "Yang Luan", which is often mentioned in historical biographies.There is nothing wrong with interpreting Lang Luan as spreading one's wings, according to various interpretations.

The so-called Tuguo is indeed a tribe with the surname Zi that existed in Qilu (the area where the Yin and Shang tribes were active before the founding of the country) during the Yin and Shang Dynasties.Therefore, this article uses "Guiguzi" to restore Wanhu/Wang Tu Feitian. Although it is not a historical fact with conclusive evidence, there is no logical error in the setting.

In fact, many lost books in China are not really lost.Most of the Daoist Collection, headed by the Dunhuang collection, and the unearthed bamboo slips have been searched by foreign scholars who have no real ability to decipher.There are a large number of lost texts that have not been published.What Tsinghua University and Peking University have today is only the tip of the iceberg of these cultural relics, but only this corner contains information about the Xia Dynasty, the early Shang Dynasty, the secrets of the first emperor, as well as medical prescriptions, military genealogy, etc., are very meaningful. Gold content.We mentioned the example of a German scientist citing the lost book "Pinglong Recognition" before. Given the status of "Scientific American" magazine at the time, it would not be groundless. Didn't Anzhi Wang Tu Feitian come from the real unearthed lost book?

The second point that needs to be explained is naturally the record about Yang Yuan.We can often see some mystical records in ancient Chinese Taoism, Danfang, and medical prescriptions, with many harsh conditions attached, such as requiring something to be born at a certain time, which seems quite unreasonable.But we need to take into account that the "scientific research" at that time was in a state of lack of theory.The whole world was in the same state in the Middle Ages and even before. We will analyze the impact of this theoretical barrier later.In short, the research at that time was mainly in the state of "summarizing experience from continuous failures and very few successful cases".Therefore, it seems absurd that there are many limiting conditions, because most of the experience comes from the summary of successful cases, and we only know what it is and don't know why, and we cannot screen the necessity of some conditions.

However, the author emphasizes here that in most cases, these experience summaries are based on reasonable grounds, and those who cannot see through them will naturally find it absurd.For example, the setting of Yangyuan in this book actually simulates the preparation of perchlorate.Nature can generate perchlorate in some extreme cases. According to the research results of modern science, aerosol with high salinity can generate perchlorate such as sodium perchlorate in the state of lightning strike.Therefore, the rainy season frost in the Xihai Salt Pond is the natural substance that best fits this setting.Dirty water contains ammonia, and the crystals precipitated by air-drying with perchlorate in the dry Gobi Kaner well contain components such as sodium perchlorate and ammonia.What can these components be used for?So far, perchlorate is commonly used as initiator and oxidizer for rocket solid fuels. When heated, they will react violently, decompose and release a large amount of gas to generate powerful thrust.

The storage of perchlorate needs to be protected from light and high temperature. Fortunately, Taoists have already mastered the technology of saltpeter cooling.Of course, this kind of technology is not suitable for mass production, and can only become a plaything of the Dan family.In fact, Taoist basic chemical research can prepare many useful compounds, but under the conditions at that time, there was no basis for mass production, so it was divorced from public life.He was questioned because he was not understood, and over time, he settled down with those deceitful tricks of the rivers and lakes, and was buried together with the light and dust.

Although Yang Yuan and Wang Tu Feitian are a kind of reverse fitting based on foreign scientific sketches, there is no published ancient literature to support it.However, this article will decipher many misreadings of ancient science with real swords and guns later in this article, and will truthfully indicate whether it is true or not.

(End of this chapter)
