Who is not Cao Cao?

Chapter 160

He Yan said to wait, but Mi Heng couldn't wait.

"You tell me, I'll find it myself!"

Mi Heng is like a parrot that has just been released into the world, thinking about flying well, how could he go to the tree branch to rest for a while?

He Yan saw that Mi Heng was not the kind of person who could bear his temper, so he decided to find him something to do first.

Among the seven basic disciplines, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy and earth science are difficult to make breakthroughs because the current theoretical and technical foundations are not very solid.Only "logic" has a very bright future, and it is currently the most important basic subject that is also the easiest to produce results.

Confucianism has the "six arts of a gentleman", and the West also has the "seven arts" of ancient Greek civilization.

The so-called "seven arts" are the "three arts" of the Athens Sophist School - rhetoric, grammar and debate, plus the "four subjects" proposed by Plato in "Utopia" - arithmetic, geometry, music theory and astronomy.

Among them, dialectics and geometry both require extremely strong logic, which is also the ultimate soil before the birth of logic.

Mi Heng is famous for his "debating talent". This "debating talent" does not only refer to Mi Heng's bad mouth, but also refers to his rigorous logic.

Translation The translation is that Mi Heng can scold others with a high standard, and the organization is quite clear.

If such a person were to engage in logic, then the surname Zheng married the surname He—just right.

"Since you have this heart, let's discuss it together?"

"Logic" sounds abstract, but that's only because the Chinese sages did not write books specifically on this subject, but integrated this subject into the logic of name debate.

The most famous of these are the "Three Tables Theory" developed by Mozi and the "Three Confusions Theory" proposed by Xunzi.

In particular, Mozi's "Three Tables Theory" can be said to have directly established the ancient Chinese logic system.The "rational" thinking that shines in it is six to 700 years earlier than He Yan, the founder of the new school, who put forward "rationality".

It's just a pity that after the Qin and Han Dynasties, the development of the ancient Chinese logic system was directly restricted by political and ethical thinking because the ruling class only respected Confucianism.In its long development, it has basically been in the scope of epistemology, and has not become a new discipline independently from it.

The most terrible thing is that the ancient Chinese logic system was born out of "name debate", and there is a mixture or confusion in the understanding of logical nature and language attributes, which can easily lead to linguistic ambiguity and logical confusion. This is also the ancient Chinese logic system. An important reason why there is no standard language in learning.

If you want to break away from this framework, you must borrow tools.

Among all the tools, the most convenient is undoubtedly "geometry".

The original meaning of "geometry" is "land surveying", and it also means "measurement of size" after being translated into Chinese, so it is not difficult for He Yan to let Ni Heng understand this.

In addition, the Chinese ancestors have long left gifts for future generations, and the "Pythagorean Theorem" is a good example.

In order to help Mi Heng better understand "logic" and explain "logic", He Yan also made a huge hook for him——

"Do you know what a coordinate system is?"

He Yan looked into Mi Heng's eyes with a smile.

And Mi Heng's eyes had long been lit with flames.

This is the fire of civilization thirsting for knowledge!

After sending the crazy Mi Heng to a mansion in Hewu, He Yan rushed back to Sikong Mansion and coaxed Cao Pi like a child.

"Okay! Go out and play!"

"How dare he scold me?"

"Then go to the daughter-in-law?"

"How dare he scold me?"

"Take you to make money?"

"He... um? What did He Yanyou say he wanted to take me with?"

Cao Pi's mind is really small, and He Yan persuaded him for nearly half an hour before he finally came back to his senses.

But after recovering, Cao Pi became even more angry.

"Since childhood, who dares to scold me? Huh? How dare he scold me?"

He Yan stared at Cao Pi with a strange expression upon hearing Cao Pi's words.

Cao Pi was a little scared by He Yan, so he had to add a sentence: "Except for father, who dares to scold me?"

"..."

"And my mother."

"..."

"And Uncle Ren."

"..."

"And you and Cao Jie..."

Thinking of this, Cao Pi was even more sad.

"Okay, you know how stinky Mi Heng's mouth is. Dad has been scolded before, let alone you?"

Cao Pi looked at He Yan expectantly: "You were also scolded by Mi Heng?"

"That's not it."

"..."

Cao Pi turned his back and hid in the corner by himself, drawing circles frantically.

Seeing that Cao Pi seemed to be really traumatized, He Yan also sighed: "Go, I'll take you to play."

"Girl? Are you not in the mood today?"

He Yan shook his head: "It's not the daughter-in-law, it's taking you to heaven."

Cao Pi turned around and paused for a while, then asked with some uncertainty, "Are you scolding me just now?"

"Who scolded you?"

He Yan rolled up his two sleeves and tied them up, as if he was going to do a big project: "It's really heaven!"

Cao Pi looked suspiciously at the blue sky and white clouds outside: "God?"

"Well, God."

In the past, he kicked Cao Pi's ass, and He Yan yelled, "Get up and work!"

Cao Pi ignorantly followed He Yan to the outside, and started manual work with He Yan.

First, a huge piece of fine cloth was brought from Hewu Textile Factory. This fine cloth was more than ten feet long and five feet wide, enough to make dozens of clothes.

Now this huge piece of cloth was thrown into the yard by He Yan. If those Qingliu saw it, He Yan would be impeached for the crime of "wasting".

After the cloth was rolled out, He Yan bought several buckets of raw lacquer for lacquerware. This is the natural sap cut from the lacquer tree, which is resistant to moisture and high temperature, and is an excellent material.

"Cao Pi, spread all these raw lacquers on the cloth."

He Yan's order made Cao Pi somewhat suspicious of life: "Paint it all over again?"

"Well, both sides must be painted."

"He Yan, I know you are rich now, but that's not how you play with money..."

The price of raw lacquer is extremely expensive, and Cao Pi was also afraid that after such a waste, Cao Cao would get angry when he came back.

"You don't need to pay for it!"

Only then did Cao Pi turn the corner, excitedly picked up a bucket of raw lacquer and daubed it on the muslin.

Anyway, it was He Yan's money that was spent!What do you feel sorry for?
"La la la la~"

Cao Pi thought that He Yan's many five baht coins would be wiped out every time he applied it, so he applied more force with the brush in his hand, thickly and heavily applying the raw lacquer to every part of the fine cloth.

He Yan himself fiddled with the kerosene ignition device.

That's right, when He Yan said he wanted to take Cao Pi to the sky, what he used was actually an enlarged version of the Kongming Lantern—a hot air balloon.

The most difficult thing about a hot air balloon is the balloon material and power fuel.

The former, even He Yan, had no choice but to ask Cao Pi to cover the fine cloth with raw lacquer and see how long it could last.

Power fuel is easy to say, kerosene was already popular among the aristocrats in the Han Dynasty, even though the price was still a bit expensive, but for He Yan now, is it expensive?

You know, the fuel used by the first hot air balloon in history was straw...

Without much effort, a kerosene device was manufactured.

After that, just ask the tailor to cut the lacquered muslin into a suitable shape, and then install a light bamboo basket underneath, and this simple "hot air balloon" of the Eastern Han Dynasty is ready.

After moving the huge hot air balloon to the field next to He Wu, He Yan specially called Deng Ai, Xun Yu, Chen Qun, Yang Xiu and others over.

Everyone was curious about this behemoth, but they were a little funny when they heard that He Yan actually wanted this thing to fly.

Only Deng Ai, who was the youngest, was thinking about something while looking at the huge sac of the hot air balloon, and his two eyes wandered around in the eye sockets, as if he was thinking about the principle.

"ignition."

He Yan did not argue with these people, but directly ignited the ignition device between the balloon and the bamboo basket.

As the air is gradually heated, lighter hot air gradually fills the balloon, and the balloon quickly and slowly assumes a "flying" posture.

In the shocked eyes of everyone, He Yan tied a three-foot-long hemp rope to the bamboo basket at one end, and nailed Xu Hu and Xu Bao to the ground at the other end.

"Remember, the hemp rope must not be broken!"

After repeatedly instructing Xu Hu and Xu Bao, He Yan and Cao Pi got into the bamboo basket together.

Seeing the previously deflated balloon being filled, Cao Pi felt flustered and excited for no reason: "He Yan, can we really go to heaven?"

"nonsense."

As the balloon gradually rounded, the bamboo basket where He Yan and Cao Pi were also began to sway.

Cao Pi tightly grasped the edge of the bamboo basket with both hands, squatted in the basket, and stared blankly at the ground only a few feet away from him.

Sudden.

The ground moved!

What followed was the exclamation of Xun Yu and others beside him.

After a while of turbulence, Cao Pi found that his feet were actually light.

When he looked down again, the ground that was only a few feet away from him just now gradually became far away. When he looked around blankly, he found that there was only a blank space.

"He Yan! He Yan!"

After reacting, Cao Pi grabbed He Yan who was beside him, and when he realized that He Yan was still in the same bamboo basket with him, Cao Pi gained a little peace of mind.

"Don't shrink your head, stick it out."

Compared to Cao Pi's panic, He Yanxian was much calmer, standing straight in the basket, looking towards Xuchang.

Cao Pi tremblingly straightened his trembling legs, but when he finally stood up, the danger of nowhere in the space made him squat down again.

"Hiss! Don't shake!"

Cao Pi's squatting together caused the whole bamboo basket to shake crazily, and even He Yan almost lost his footing, and his body center of gravity fell backwards.

In order to stabilize his center of gravity, He Yan also squatted down, looked at Cao Pi's pale face and asked, "How long are you going to stay here?"

"Squat here, maybe there is a bamboo basket blocking your sight, and you can lie to yourself that you are not in the air."

"But the truth is, you've already gone to heaven."

He Yan stood up again, and continued to look around: "It's already up anyway, if you don't take a closer look, don't you really regret it?"

In the first half of his short life, Cao Pi was influenced by various things, causing his character to be full of caution and suspicion.

But no matter how cautious he was, he was still a boy.

And young people are born with great courage.

For example, for women, or for the world.

Cao Pi took a deep breath, grasped the upper edge of the bamboo basket with both hands again, took a deep breath and strode hard to move his whole body upwards.

At first, he couldn't see anything, but panic still filled his chest at this moment.

Afterwards, the familiar trees gradually came into view, the familiar land came back into view, and then came Hewu, Xuchang, and the gradually shrinking people below...

The world is still the same world, but Cao Pi sees them from a different angle.

All the fear, panic, and anxiety slowly subsided the moment Cao Pi stood up.

Instead, there was an unprecedented clarity.

The legs gradually overcame the physical discomfort. Cao Pi gradually straightened his back in the bamboo basket and stood quite firmly.

"Oh~~~"

Cao Pi suddenly screamed downwards, and the huge sound wave once again made the hot air balloon a little unstable.

But this time, Cao Pi did not back down, but let out a burst of hearty laughter.

"He Yan! I really went to heaven!"

"Ah."

"He Yan! I really went to heaven!"

"I see!"

"He Yan! I really went to heaven!"

"..."

Although bound by the hemp rope on the ground, the entire hot air balloon only flies three feet high, which is not as high as some "platforms", but the meaning of it is completely different.

"Man, can you really fly?"

Cao Pi smiled and laughed, but suddenly burst into tears.

With tears in his eyes, he turned his head to look at He Yan on the other side: "He Yan! Humans can really fly! They can actually fly!"

If man can really fly like a bird, what else can man do?
Can it run faster than a horse?

Can it live longer than a turtle?

Can it be like that Kunpeng, the water hits three thousand miles and soars to ninety thousand miles?

Cao Pi didn't know.

But at this time, Cao Pi's world seemed to suddenly become colorful, and he found that his road ahead seemed to be not only the black and white backs of Cao Cao or Cao Ang, but countless roads leading to a colorful future.

The road here is not limited to the "lessons" Jia Xu said, but there are more important things——

"What a person should have is also a dream that can be had."

……

"He Yan."

When He Yan's name was called again, Cao Pi's tears had completely flowed out.

"Is this your world?"

Compared with such a world, Cao Pi, and almost everyone's world in this era, seems boring and dull.

This has nothing to do with material, wealth, power.

But power, liberty, dreams that are thrown away and forgotten by all.

"Well, that's right."

He Yan looked into the distance: "This is the world everyone should have."
