Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 686, Essence of the Sun and Moon

"Hai Dahai, I heard that the solar cooker you just came out is very powerful!" At this time, a white-haired old man was sitting at Wang Honghai's house and said with a kind smile.

Wang Honghai shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Uncle Wu, don't listen to the wind and the rain. Before this solar cooker came out, it was reasonable to say that it was suspended. After all, at that time, everyone couldn't figure out how to use it without fire or electricity. , but it’s not very clear now, isn’t it just using solar energy!”

Wang Honghai struck a match and helped Fifth Uncle light it. "Actually, to put it bluntly, it means gathering the sun's rays together, which is equivalent to many suns shining at the same time, so the temperature is high enough to heat the food."

Uncle Wu had a sullen face, holding the long cigarette rod with his right hand, sucking on the cigarette holder, his brows furrowed into the character "Sichuan".

Wang Honghai sighed secretly in his heart. To be honest, he had been afraid of his fifth uncle since he was a child. That was really big! Although he was older and not as scared as he was when he was a child, the majesty of his fifth uncle still made him a little frightened.

"Dahai, are you really not going to tell the truth to Fifth Uncle?"

Wang Honghai guessed that Uncle Wu must have heard some nonsense, so he quickly said: "Uncle Wu, I only saw the experimental results of this thing with my own eyes yesterday. If you heard anything, I will go and help." If you ask, there may be some things that I don’t know or am unsure about.”

He didn't dare to say that Uncle Wu had been deceived by the rumors, and he didn't dare to insist that he definitely didn't hide anything. He could only use such ambiguous words to see what Uncle Wu heard.

Uncle Wu grinned, looked at Wang Honghai, and said with some uncertainty: "I heard that this solar stove uses the energy of the sun. You also know, is this the essence of the sun and the moon that Taoism talks about? The essence of the sun, eating the essence of the sun can make people immortal, and if one day we can use the essence of the moon, we can be free from all diseases and poisons?"

Not long ago this morning, Wang Honghai came to Jiang Yan's office. When he saw the director coming in, Jiang Yan hurriedly poured a cup of tea and then returned to his seat.

"Director, are you here about the production or technology upgrade of solar cookers? By the way, I have prepared the materials for applying for a patent..."

Wang Honghai blinked his eyes and felt a little shaken in his heart.

Uncle Wu shook his head and said: "So, with the progress of science, Taoism will also progress. This is the power of your scientist. This is called seizing the secret of heaven. It breaks the limit of date. It's amazing!"

When Wang Honghai heard his fifth uncle's words, his head suddenly became heavy and he didn't know how to speak. Many people of the older generation were blind and preconceived. He explained it this way, but it was different for those who had been leaders. This was not the case. Then he had an idea, so he said: "Uncle Wu, I remember you said before that the essence of this day can only be found from the first to the fifth day of every lunar month. The first two days are the best, and the next three days are second." , after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, there will be no chance this month. If it rains, you have to wait until next month. This is not the case with this solar cooker. It just concentrates light."

Before Jiang Yan finished speaking, Wang Honghai waved his hand and said, "No, I just want to ask you. Some people say that solar cookers use the energy of the sun to condense the essence of the sun together and eat the food it makes. , can live forever, I just want to know what your principle is, and whether eating rice made from this thing is good for the body."

Jiang Yan burst out laughing when he heard Wang Honghai's words: "Where did you hear this? It's totally impossible."

"Isn't there any possibility of it affecting the body? Doesn't Taoism say that the human body absorbs the essence of the sun and moon and can live longer every year." Wang Honghai wanted to confirm again.

Jiang Yan immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Director, this is pure nonsense. Solar stoves just use the thermal radiation emitted by the sun. It's not that magical." After Jiang Yan finished saying this, he thought about it. I decided to educate myself, Director Wang, on this astronomical information to prevent him from thinking wildly.

"The sun in the sky, according to astronomy, is just a big fireball. The geological movement is constantly going on above it. Just imagine that it is a big fireball composed entirely of flowing magma. It is not the essence of the sun and moon mentioned by Taoists. Not a dime matters.

"In fact, the bright stars in the sky are just like the sun. They are all big fireballs. It's just that the stars are far away and the sun is closer to us. Just like the stars you see are twinkling, maybe they were hundreds of years ago. scene."

"To put it bluntly, when the sun comes out during the day, it's like we are warming ourselves up by the fire, so we feel warm. When the temperature drops at night, it's because the sun has moved to the other side of the earth."

"What about the moon?" Director Wang Da asked doubtfully, "The moon doesn't look like a fireball. Is it because it's far away from the earth and very big, so it's not hot?"

In this era, many people's lack of knowledge about astronomy is actually far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

Even though Wang Honghai had read a lot of books in the army, he really didn't know anything about this aspect.

Jiang Yan said with a smile: "The moon is not that far away, and it is not a fireball. It is just a big stone that keeps rotating around the earth. Three billion years ago, the moon had no magma activity and became a pure cold round stone. , the reason why it glows is actually because it reflects sunlight."

In fact, Jiang Yan knew that later generations of domestic scientists determined that the moon still had traces of magma activity at least 19.6 billion years ago. But in this era, everyone doesn’t know, and he can’t give evidence, so he uses the most appropriate statement at the moment.

Also, even in the era of the information explosion, many people still believe that the earth is a parallel world, and that the end of them is an ice wall in Antarctica.

Wang Honghai nodded and said: "In other words, it turns out that the moon is actually just a mirror."

Jiang Yan nodded: "That's the principle." After Jiang Yan said this, he seemed to think of something and then said: "My leader, didn't the Mao Xiong Kingdom say that they want to study rockets to go to the sky and the moon? Do you have this information? If you pay attention, you don’t actually need to ask me a lot of things.”

Wang Honghai suddenly looked embarrassed, but he still asked Jiang Yanpi to give him a solar cooker. Whether he wanted to believe that he had it or just for the sake of novelty, it was not a bad thing to get one.

The news brought by Wang Honghai also gave Jiang Yan some awakening. Without him, the director, today, Jiang Yan almost forgot that he was still in the 60s. In this era, there were still a large number of illiterates in the country. This remnant of feudalism is more powerful than I imagined. If my solar cooker is passed on by someone who wants to spread it, it may not be what it will be like! If that was really the case, his sin would be huge. Thinking of this, Jiang Yan broke into a cold sweat.

So after he figured this out, he quickly started writing and wrote down in great detail the principles of this solar cooker, how to use sunlight, and what the sun is all about, in order to enable his superiors to I understand. Jiang Yan tried his best to write as straightforwardly as possible. To be honest, this internal reference for superiors was more tiring than any other.

For a moment, Jiang Yan wondered whether the solar cooker he built was shooting himself in the foot.
