Chapter 23 Dry Qing palace hemisphere experiment

Zhu Youjian was disappointed again. From Song Yingxing's eyes, he only saw doubts, obviously he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

He ordered someone to give Song Yingxing a seat, and let him sit opposite him.

Looking at this 41-year-old middle-aged man, Zhu Youjian didn't know how to speak for a moment.

"You failed?"

"Your Majesty, the student is not good at learning and has failed the exam."

"This is the fifth time you have failed the ranking?"

Is it really okay for you to chat like this?Do you have to expose my scars?

"Student. Yes."

Faced with Zhu Youjian's soul-striking question, he really didn't know what to say.

"Your Heavenly Ancestor, Great Ancestor, and Great Ancestor are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty. Don't be discouraged. If this road doesn't work, it may not work for other roads."

"Students understand."

"Look at these things first." As he spoke, Zhu Youjian handed him the translated primary school mathematics.

Song Yingxing took it respectfully and opened it.

Then there was some doubts.

Why does Your Majesty let me watch arithmetic?One plus one equals two, still such a simple arithmetic.

Flip back again, eh?

Multiplication and division, units, angles.interesting.

Turn back again.

Four arithmetic operations, units of mass, rectangles, equations.

He couldn't understand it at first, but he felt like a treasure.

Song Yingxing looked up at Zhu Youjian, and asked suspiciously:
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, where did you get this book, the students have never seen such novel knowledge."

You're right if you haven't seen it.

"I figured it out on my own when I had nothing to do, and gave it to you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Song Yingxing said happily.

"I heard that you are very interested in handicraft production?"

"Yes, the students will observe the handicraftsmen's work in their spare time, and they have accumulated some gains over the years."

"Yeah. I'm going to do an experiment, so you can take a look with me."

Zhu Youjian nodded, walked out first, and came to the open space outside Qianqing Palace.

He ordered his servant to take out the two hemispheres and a manual air pump that had been prepared.He also ordered people to go to the Yumajian to bring sixteen horses.

"Have you ever heard of atmospheric pressure?"

While waiting, Zhu You interrogated Song Yingxing.

"Students haven't heard of it."

"Did you know that where we live is a big ball?"

"Students have heard of it."

"Atmospheric pressure is the pressure given to us by the atmosphere surrounding this big ball. It is invisible and intangible, but it does exist. My experiment today proves its existence."

"."

"Maybe you may wonder, what's the use of proving the existence of this kind of qi? I can tell you that it is closely related to our lives. Watch this experiment carefully! After today, I can make you immortal!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Youjian walked down the steps and came to the side of the two hemispheres.

These are two hemispheres made of copper, with a diameter of [-] centimeters, and the rubber pads on them were bought on Dianxi.

Zhu You ordered the inspector to put the two hemispheres together, and started to suck the air inside with an air pump.At first, someone had to hold the ball, but when I slowly let go of the hand, the two hemispheres would not separate.

He didn't know what size ball the mayor of Magdeburg used to do this experiment, so he made one with a diameter of [-] centimeters.On the other hand, there was a small one, but he felt that the effect was not shocking enough, so he ordered someone to make a big one.

He didn't stop until he couldn't pump it with the air pump, and ordered people to tie ropes at both ends and put them on the horses, with four horses on each side.

Watching everyone finish all this, Zhu Youjian said to Song Yingxing beside him:

"See clearly, the next step is to witness the miracle!"

After speaking, he nodded to the eunuch who was in charge, and the eunuch shouted loudly to start.

The eight men on horseback on both sides began to lash the war horses under their crotches. The horses suffered from pain and desperately wanted to run forward, but the eight horses turned in the opposite direction, like a tug-of-war.The copper ball in the middle did not move at all, showing no signs of separation.

Zhu Youjian glanced at Song Yingxing, who was speechless from ear to ear, and waved his hand to signal for more horses.

Then ten horses, twelve horses, sixteen horses!
Still motionless.

In the end, a few more horses were brought in, and it was not until twenty horses pulled the hemisphere apart.

"This is proof of the existence of atmospheric pressure! Atmospheric pressure can be used for many purposes. Using atmospheric pressure can make water pumps and irrigate farmland. This is the power of science. Using science we can create many things that change the world. But making these things is not easy , but also to learn more knowledge. Even if you are poor, you will not be able to gain anything in your life. Song Yingxing, are you willing to learn this knowledge?"

"Science...student! Willing! Please teach me, Your Majesty!"

Song Yingxing muttered to himself after listening to Zhu Youjian's words, then slowly knelt down on the ground, and said firmly!

He is eager for knowledge, and even more eager to use his knowledge to change the world.Science that could change the world strengthened his faith.His intuition told him that he was about to step into a brand new world!

And the leader is the supreme ruler of the Ming Dynasty in front of him.

"I, I order you to be the president of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Ming Dynasty. You are the only one in the Academy of Sciences now, and I want you to be a pioneer and a seed. Let this knowledge benefit the people, so that they can eat enough and wear warm clothes. Are you willing?"

"Students are willing!"

"Okay, I will allocate a yard for you to use, and the Academy of Sciences is up to you. All expenses can be directly reported to me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Go back and write a letter to your family. Zhen will send someone to bring your family to Beijing."

Song Yingxing thanked her again and left the palace.

His turbulent heart could not be calm for a long time, he did not expect to fail the imperial examination, but was appreciated by His Majesty.The life situation is really amazing.

Zhu Youjian allocated Cui Chengxiu's home to him, a large house covering an area of ​​more than ten acres.The outer courtyard serves as his office space, while the inner courtyard is used for his residence.

Song Yingxing didn't know that after Zhu Youjian fooled him, he met another person, Wang Zheng.

For Wang Zheng, Zhu Youjian is more direct.

He directly took out a steam engine model and ignited the alcohol in front of him.

Zhu Youjian then asked several questions:

"Do you know what this is?"

"If you make him ten times or a hundred times bigger, what kind of effect can it play?"

"Do you want to be the creator of this machine and be admired by the world?"

"Director of Daming Royal Machinery Factory, what are you willing to do?"

then.

February 28, the first year of Chongzhen

On the day Song Yingxing failed the ranking for the fifth time, two organizations were established:

Royal Academy of Ming Dynasty

Daming Royal Machinery Factory

In less than a day, the news of Zhu Youjian's experiment spread throughout the capital.

"Have you heard? His Majesty was playing maracas in the palace yesterday."

"What kind of ball is a horse?"

"Marathon!"

"Hehe~ I heard that they found a candidate who had failed the exam five times and appointed him as the dean of what kind of academy of sciences?"

"Yes! Although I don't know what this Academy of Sciences is for, it's too much of a joke. If there are so many important officials in the court, what can you do with a Juren who failed five times? In my opinion, the current emperor is not as good as the former emperor! Wei Qiansui fell, and Wang Qiansui came. What's the difference?"

"Hush! Don't you want to die!? Fans from the two factories are everywhere now!"

The scholar quickly stopped his companion's death-seeking behavior, looked around, and felt relieved when he saw no one was around.

The companion was stopped, opened his mouth, and finally turned into a long sigh.

Zhu Youjian heard some rumors about the public discussion, but he didn't care at all.Let’s just talk about it, what else can these scholars who don’t distinguish between grains and limbs do not work hard besides boasting?
Empty talk misleads the country!That's the kind of person he's talking about.

He couldn't be bothered to answer.

Today he received a report from Lu Xiangsheng that the army recruited from Shaanxi has already set out and will arrive soon.
