Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 290 Breaking Your Faith

Zhao Wen looked at Tang Ruowang and others who were stunned, and then heaved a heavy sigh, "What do you think of Zhao Wen's two big points? Well, I'm ashamed to say this, but I invented it when I was young.

Unfortunately, after the invention was invented, no one recognized it, and people who knew me said I was crazy.Alas, life is such an impermanent world. "

With his hands behind his back, Zhao Wen walked to the door of the hall, squinted up 45 degrees, looked at the sky, and pretended to be lonely.

In the eyes of Tang Ruowang and others, the whole person has an indescribable temperament.

Tang Ruowang looked at Zhao Wen's figure. At this moment, he seemed to see a faint light emanating from Zhao Wen's body, like a god.

Tang Ruowang came back to his senses, picked up the rice paper on the table, and kept looking at the formula on it.

"Lord Chief Soldier, these two points of yours may not matter in Daming, but if they are placed in our country, they will be earth-shattering.

These two points of yours seem to be written only by gods. These formulas are so perfect and beautiful. I fell in love with him deeply as soon as I saw them. "

Tang Ruowang looked at the formula on the paper and praised it non-stop.

Zhao Wen turned around, looked at Tang Ruowang's happy face, and said, "This is just two big points, I have something better, I wonder if you want to know?"

Tang Ruowang's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he looked at Zhao Wen with enthusiasm, his face was full of excitement, "Master Zongbing has something better? Can you let me see it again?"

Zhao Wen walked slowly to Tang Ruowang's side, and picked up the charcoal pencil again.

"I heard that there is a man named Magellan in your place. He controlled several ships and made a round-the-world voyage, proving that the earth under our feet is round?"

Zhao Wen held a charcoal pen and looked at Tang Ruowang.

Tang Ruowang said: "Master Hui Zongbing, there is indeed such a person, he did sail around the world once, but more than 100 years have passed since now.

And the fact that the earth under our feet is round is already a well-known fact in my hometown.

The place we live in is a planet that revolves around the sun.Our hometown calls this planet Earth. "

Zhao Wen chuckled and said, "It seems that you have already accepted Copernicus' heliocentric theory. I really didn't expect those old stubborn people there to accept this theory."

Tang Ruowang looked at Zhao Wen with embarrassment, and sneered, "It's obvious, there's nothing you can do if you don't believe it."

"In that case, then I won't play tricks on you. Let me ask you a question, do you know why ripe apples fall from the tree to the ground instead of flying to the sky? Why does water flow from high to low from the lower to the higher?"

After Zhao Wen finished speaking, he looked at Tang Ruowang calmly.

Tang Ruowang frowned tightly, he looked at Zhao Wen, unable to speak for a long time.

Standing behind him, Fowles looked at Zhao Wen and interjected, "Isn't this obvious? This is the law of the world. It was arranged by God, and God made it run like this."

"Yes, that's right, this is all arranged by God, and God made it run like this." Tang Ruowang also agreed.

Hearing the voices of the two, Zhao Wen couldn't help but shook his head, "Then why don't God let the apples fly to the sky and the water flow to high places? Instead, let the apples fall and the water flow to low places?"

"This, this, this..." Tang Ruowang stumbled instantly, not knowing how to refute Zhao Wen.

Even the entourage behind Tang Ruowang frowned at this moment and pondered.

Looking at the reactions of Tang Ruowang and the others, Zhao Wen was overjoyed, "When I was in high school, I was tortured to death by Newton, but today I have to give you back all the torture. And Newton, from now on you will take "Zhao Let’s count slowly in the book of “Various Laws.”

Zhao Wen couldn't help laughing when he thought of the way Newton would be sitting under the apple tree with the book he wrote in a few decades, pondering over the questions.

"Why are you laughing?" Tang Ruowang looked at Zhao Wen who suddenly laughed, and asked in confusion.

Zhao Wen held back his smile and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly remembered something funny.

By the way, have you figured it out yet?Why do things in the world fall from high places to low places? "

Tang Ruowang shook his head helplessly, "I don't know, I'm not very talented, I really don't know why."

"You don't know, I know." Zhao Wen said slowly, holding a charcoal pencil.

Tang Ruowang looked at Zhao Wen sincerely, cupped his hands and said, "Can you enlighten me?"

"Seeing the sincerity on your faces, I'll give you some advice. As for whether you can understand, then don't blame me."

"The reason why this phenomenon occurs is because the earth has a gravitational force on everything on the earth..."

Zhao Wen stood by the table, holding a charcoal pencil, and Balabala began to talk.

Tang Ruowang and others stood beside Zhao Wen, bowed slightly, and listened carefully.

Sometimes they frowned in puzzlement, and sometimes interjected to ask questions.

Among Tang Ruowang's entourage was a master sketcher. Looking at this scene, he had an idea, and hurriedly asked the servants standing on both sides of the hall for rice paper and charcoal pencils.

After getting the rice paper and charcoal pen, he looked at the scene in front of him and quickly sketched on the rice paper.

After this sketch is drawn, he will take it back and draw an oil painting based on this sketch.

This oil painting will be named by him "Zhao Wen's Tutorial and Confusion Map".

What everyone didn't know was that hundreds of years later, this oil painting became a peerless treasure and a priceless treasure, and it was collected in the largest museum in China.

Hundreds of years later, countless Western scholars will travel thousands of miles to come to the museum, just to admire Zhao Wen's demeanor at that time.

Of course, this is all for later.

When Zhao Wen's last word fell, Zhao Wen took a charcoal pen and began to write on the rice paper again.

After Zhao Wen wrote out the universal gravitational formula changed into Chinese characters, Zhao Wen pointed to the formula on the rice paper and said to Tang Ruowang and others: "I call this formula Zhao Wen's universal gravitational formula. It was when I was 12 years old and sat on an apple. While thinking about life under the tree, he was suddenly hit on the forehead by an overripe apple.

At that time, I was very curious about this, why the apple would fall down instead of flying up.After several days and nights of research, I finally discovered the existence of gravity.

After discovering universal gravitation, I worked tirelessly on researching it, and finally came up with Zhao Wen's universal gravitational formula. "

"God, is there really such a person in the world? He has achieved such an achievement in his teens. If this is passed back to the West, I don't know how many old pedants will be ashamed to death.

Why is such a person not from our country?Why this Eastern Empire?
why is that?God, why do you take such care of this country?This country has the most fertile and expansive soil in the world. In the southwest of the country are towering mountains, in the west is the vast Gobi Desert, in the north is frozen soil, and in the east is the ocean.

God, what a wonderful place to be secluded and rich.Such a good place, why don't you give it to us?
It's fine if you don't give it to us, why do you still want to bring such a talent to them?God, why is that? "

Looking at Zhao Wen's slightly raised mouth corners, Tang Ruowang felt mixed feelings.

He kept questioning God in his heart, asking why.

Although he questioned God, he did not waver in his faith, after all, this is the God he believed in all his life.

The missionaries who can be sent to Daming in this era are the most loyal believers of God. Although Tang Ruowang kept questioning God, he did not shake his faith.

After recovering from his senses, Tang Ruowang took a few deep breaths, hurriedly drew a sign of the cross on his chest, and sincerely repented the words he had just questioned God in his heart.

"Now let me explain to you the specific meaning of this formula."

Zhao Wen looked at Tang Ruowang whose face was constantly changing, chuckled twice, and then pointed to the formula on the rice paper to explain in detail.

Tang Ruowang sorted out his mood, fixed his eyes on the content on the rice paper, and listened carefully to Zhao Wen's explanation.

A few quarters of an hour later, after listening to Zhao Wen's explanation, Tang Ruowang couldn't help but feel a sore nose, and almost burst into tears.

"Is this still human? Zhao Wen's two major points are already powerful enough, and this Zhao Wen's universal gravitational formula is not inferior to Zhao Wen's two major points. There really are such people in the world, but why is it from this country?"

Tang Ruowang stared blankly at the formula on the rice paper, filled with resentment.

"That's all I've said today. If I talk too much, I'm afraid you won't understand."

Zhao Wen put down the charcoal pencil, asked the servant next to him to bring a book of water, and washed the stains on his hands.

Tang Ruowang looked at Zhao Wen who was washing his hands, and said, "Can I write down these things and take them away?"

"It's up to you, but when you record, you must record my name, as well as the time and place when I invented these things."

Zhao Wen shook off the water stains under his hands, and said calmly.

When Tang Ruowang heard that it could be recorded, he hurriedly asked the servant next to him for a pen and paper, and quickly recorded it on it.

Zhao Wen sat on the chair, picked up the teacup on the table and sipped it.

After a while, Tang Ruowang carefully folded up the recorded things and stuffed them into his arms.

Zhao Wen pointed to the Confucian uniform on Tang Ruowang, and asked curiously, "You believe in Catholicism, right?"

Tang Ruowang nodded and said, "Yes, I believe in Catholicism."

Tang Ruowang sat back on the chair and replied.

Zhao Wen looked at Tang Ruowang and asked, "Then let me ask you a question related to Catholicism. This question may be a bit sensitive, and I hope you don't mind it."

"As long as the question doesn't insult God, it's all right for you to say it."

Tang Ruowang was also very curious about what questions Zhao Wen could ask about Catholicism.

"This question is very simple. Do you think the God you believe in in Catholicism is omnipotent? Can He do everything?" Zhao Wen asked.

A smile appeared on Tang Ruowang's face, "Of course, God is omnipotent. He can do things that mortals cannot do. He is the father of all human beings. The glory of God will always shine on the earth..."

When Tang Ruowang saw Zhao Wen mentioned God, he hurriedly praised God endlessly.

The corners of Zhao Wen's mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile that was not noticed by others, "Since God is omnipotent, can God create a rock that he cannot lift by himself?"

"Of course, God is omnipotent, why can't he create himself..."

Tang Ruowang said with a smile on his face, but he discovered the problem in this sentence while talking.

His smile froze on his face, and he froze in place for a moment.

Zhao Wen took a sip of tea, looked at Tang Ruowang like this, couldn't help shaking his head, and slandered: "You guys still come to Daming to preach? I really don't know what it means."

Tang Ruowang kept thinking about this question asked by Zhao Wen, and sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.

Zhao Wen asked this question from an extremely tricky and weird angle.

If God is omnipotent, then he can create a stone that he cannot move.

But isn't he omnipotent?How could he not be able to move the created stone?

If he can't move the stone, it proves that God is not omnipotent.

If he can move the stone, it proves that God cannot make a stone that he cannot move.

No matter how you answer this question, you cannot prove the premise that God is omnipotent.

In fact, this paradox is the most famous God paradox in later generations.

This paradox was used by Renaissance people to question the Holy See at the end of the seventeenth century.

As for who proposed it, it has long been impossible to study.

And now it is the sixth year of Chongzhen, the beginning of the seventeenth century, and there are still five or sixty years before this paradox is raised.

But this does not affect Zhao Wen's questioning of Tang Ruowang.

Zhao Wen looked at Tang Ruowang, who was unable to give an answer for a long time, and asked, "Can God create such a stone?"

Tang Ruowang was sweating profusely. He looked at Zhao Wen with restlessness in his heart.

"You're a mess!" Fowles, who was sitting next to Tang Ruowang, slapped the table, stood up, pointed at Zhao Wen and shouted loudly.

Zhao Wen put down the teacup in his hand, his eyes froze, his body showed a murderous look, and he looked at Fowles with a cold face, "Are you talking to me?"

As soon as Zhao Wen finished speaking, Li Xiaosan, who was standing at the door, rushed in with several guards.

"Dang!"

Li Xiaosan pulled out half of the long knife at his waist and placed it in front of Fowles.

"Are you looking for death? If you want to die, I will help you now!" Li Xiaosan is now a boy of seventeen or eighteen, and his whole body is like a sharp sword, showing his sharpness.

Looking at this scene, Fowles shrank his neck, his eyes full of horror.

Tang Ruowang hurriedly saluted Zhao Wen: "Please forgive me for waiting, my lord really didn't mean to wait."

Zhao Wen waved his hand at Li Xiaosan, and said, "You all step back."

"Yes!"

Li Xiaosan and the others put away their swords and retreated.

After Li Xiaosan and the others withdrew, Zhao Wen stood up, with his hands behind his back, and looked at Tang Ruowang and the others with a cold face, "Okay, I won't keep you guys anymore, I have something else to do."

"I will take my leave!" Seeing this, Tang Ruowang had no choice but to salute Zhao Wen and leave with his entourage.

Looking at Tang Ruowang's leaving figure, Zhao Wen's eyes flashed with a strange light, "Do you still want to preach? I will first break your illusions about God, and see how you continue to preach."
