My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 53 53. Extra question, sage’s doubts

Finished the math problem.

It's still early.

Zhao Xuanqi continued to look under the title.

In fact, when we reach this point, we have almost finished preparing the paper, and the math question is the last additional question.

however,
There is an additional question below the additional question.

The extra question clearly marks a point. This question is fixed and will appear in every Jinshi scientific examination. Anyone who has participated in the Jinshi examination will encounter this additional question.

If you can write it, then do it. If you can't, it's okay. The title has no meaning. It's just the doubts of a saint in his life.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, this saint assisted the founding emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty in establishing the country. This saint also proposed the imperial examination.

During his lifetime, he liked to explore the nature of heaven and earth, and there were many doubts about nature that he could not answer.

Even when he was about to die, these doubts were not answered.

The saint sighed, hoping that his doubts would be answered, but he knew that his life was about to end, and he was afraid that he would never see the answers to his questions in his lifetime.

So he put his doubts in the scientific examination so that everyone who participated in the Jinshi examination could see them, hoping that future generations could investigate and understand them.

Because of his specialness, the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty acquiesced in his behavior, leaving the saint's doubts.

Unfortunately, in the more than 200 years of imperial examinations, no one has been able to successfully answer all his questions.

"interesting…"

Zhao Xuanqi became interested.

Can't you tell, this saint is still stubborn.

I will leave all the issues that I don’t understand to future generations, hoping that they can figure them out and embarrass future generations.

This temper is really stubborn.

He looked at the question.

The way the question is asked is very weird:
How high is the sky?How thick is the ground?How deep is the deepest part of the ocean?Has the largest ocean center ever been destroyed?How big are the boundaries of the world?
What is the shape of the world?Is the sky round and the square square correct?Does the world have borders?If you reach the edge of the world, will you fall?

Birds have wings and can fly, but if humans are given a pair of wings, why can't they fly?
There are countless stars in the sky. What kind of scene is there on the stars?Is there other life on the stars?

What is at the highest point of the sky?
Are there any gods in the world?

Do gods live in heaven?
Is there a soul born after a person dies?Where will it go?

Is the world tilted?Why does water flow eastward in some places?Why does it flow westward in some places?
Why are there four seasons in the world: spring, summer, autumn and winter?Why do each season have different temperatures?Why do the four seasons come and go?

Why is there night and day?Night and day also cycle back and forth?What exactly is controlling this pattern?
The union between people can give birth to children, thus multiplying the vast human race. So where did the first human come from?

Why do people have wisdom?And what about other animals that are so stupid?Most other animals can't even use items. What makes humans so special?What is it that gives humans wisdom?

Electric eels can use their bodies to discharge lightning. What is the principle of physical discharge?Can humans master this power?

Does heaven and earth have a lifespan?Is there any end to the blue sky?
"..."

There are countless problems.

It can be seen from the question that this saint was probably a materialist who did not believe in ghosts and gods.

Because if he believes in ghosts and gods, all questions can be answered from ghosts and gods.When you are in doubt, God comes to help.

It is a pity that the saint does not believe in cows, ghosts and snakes, and does not believe that the world is created by gods. Instead, he has a certain desire for materialistic exploration, which is why he has so many questions in his heart.

How high is the sky and how thick is the earth? Do you think this is a question that people ask?Who can accurately come up with the answer?

A series of questions fully bring out the true qualities of Gang Jing.

This saint is definitely a stickler, and he won't give in wherever he goes.

If you don’t accept it every day, if you look at the local area, if you don’t accept anyone, it will cause problems wherever you go.

The various questions are very weird, and they are questions that encompass and explore the world.

"The enlightenment thought of mankind? The original seeker of knowledge in the Northern Wei Dynasty? The first anthropologist to explore the desire of heaven and earth? A materialist? This saint is somewhat interesting..."

Zhao Xuanqi looked at the numerous small problems.

I can't help being a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, in this ancient feudal society, in this era that only respected Confucianism, scholars with such a desire for knowledge, scholars who explored the science of heaven and earth, and pursued nature, were born more than 200 years ago.

The times tend to favor Chinese language, and this saint is at the forefront of the times, exploring the nature of the world, physical rules, etc.

He couldn't help but feel a little admiration for this saint.

Unfortunately, there are too many of these little questions, and many of them are hard to find accurate answers to.

Even Zhao Xuanqi, who has experienced modern scientific education and has a certain understanding of the planet, the structure of the world, and the universe, can hardly answer all these questions.

These problems are not just the problems of the saint alone, but a summary of the problems encountered by mankind in the historical development process of ancient mankind, thinking about nature, and doubts about heaven and earth.

If all these questions can be answered, it means that we have sufficient insights into this world, and it can also bring ground-breaking enlightenment to the ancient world.

Zhao Xuanqi didn't know enough.

Even if he knew in his heart how to answer these questions, he knew in his heart that he knew in his heart that he couldn't explain or prove it in words.

For example, if a bird has wings and can fly, why can a human being be given a pair of wings but unable to fly?

If you want to explain and prove this problem, it is not something that one person can prove. It requires a huge knowledge summary and various experimental evidences.

Zhao Xuanqi is not prepared to answer these additional questions.

He has already completed the Jinshi examination, and it doesn't matter whether he answers these additional questions or not.

Although points will not be deducted for incorrect answers, points will not be awarded for correct answers. What’s the use of trying so hard to answer the questions?
However, the moment he put down the pen, an idea suddenly flashed in Zhao Xuanqi's mind, and he came back to his senses as if he had received an electric shock.

"When I come to this world, the greater my impact on this world, the greater my change in this world, the more people's destiny and future I change, and the higher my achievements and status are, the more reward points I can get. The more…”

"In this feudal ancient society, the Northern Wei Dynasty, because of the exclusive respect for Confucianism, there was no room for the development of various modern sciences. Once physics and chemistry appeared, they were extinguished and regarded as insignificant. The country was always in a feudal state. Ancient imperial society..."

"If the answers I write can give these ancient people some impact on the collapse of their worldview, have a new impact on the knowledge and theories of this era, shape a new worldview, and have a profound impact on future generations, I don't know if it will increase my The reward you received?”

"The examiners of the scientific examination are all princes of the imperial court, with high status, and after the scientific examination is over, the examination papers will be released to the world for students all over the world to study and review..."

"Whether it works or not, as long as there is a possibility, I must try!"

Zhao Xuanqi picked up the pen and focused on a topic:
