Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

Zhu Yuanzhang also pricked up his ears and stared at the simulator.

I want to see what Mei Yin will say next.

He was also very curious about this matter.

How did Mei Yin, the son-in-law, come to this puzzling and surprising conclusion?

Under his gaze, Mei Yin in the simulator quickly spoke.

“Even I didn’t expect this to happen at the beginning.

It was also accidental that I could think of these things.

Some time ago, I was sitting and playing under the apricot tree at home.

A gust of wind blew, and an apricot fell and hit me on the head.

The apricot was very ripe, and when it hit my head, a lot of juice got on my head.

I’m a little annoyed…”

Hearing Mei Yin say this and thinking about the scene at that time, Zhu Xiongying couldn't help but grin and laugh.

Zhu Yuanzhang also seemed quite happy.

I just think this is particularly interesting.

Think about this guy Mei Yin, who was hit on the head by the apricot and looked miserable with juice all over his head.

He found it very funny.

However, after laughing, the confusion in my heart immediately rose again.

What does this have to do with what he said about universal gravitation?
“I was very angry at the time, but after I got angry, I thought of another question.

That's why the apricot fell down and landed on my head.

After falling from the branch, why didn't it go left, right, or go upwards?

Why do you have to come down here?
What's the reason?
Later, I thought of many more aspects.

We discovered that whether it is fallen leaves, humans, or various other things.

Eventually everything will fall to the ground.

At that time, I was wondering if the earth had some kind of magic that attracted them to fall down?

We are in it, but we can't feel it.

After some thought, I think there must be something attracting me, which is why it is like this.

If there is no such attraction, this phenomenon will never occur.

Also, it seems that everything is attracted by this gravity.

So I gave it a name, called gravity..."

Hearing what Mei Yin said, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but blink his eyes.

He couldn't laugh anymore.

What's happening here?
He was still laughing just now when Mei Yin was hit on the head by the rotten apricot.

Made a mess.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, Mei Yin thought about so many things from the incident of being hit on the head by a rotten apricot.

And came to this conclusion.

This... this is fucking it!
Is this the huge gap between ordinary people and geniuses? !
Obviously, these things seem to be normal to me.

But why can he think so much?
Not only think so much, but also dig deeper!
Think about it in more depth.

And we have to come to such a conclusion?
Give a more reasonable explanation?

This……

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't be bullied anymore.

Don't know what to say.

Is the gap between people really that big?
Were these really what Mei Yin came up with?

Or maybe Mei Yin obtained it through some other method.

And tell it in this way?

For a moment, all kinds of thoughts were flying in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.

The mood became very uneasy.

After listening to it suddenly, I felt that what Mei Yin said, including the law of gravity, was nonsense.

But if I think about it carefully, I feel that what Mei Yin said does make sense.

If there wasn't such a so-called gravity.

Then why doesn't this thing go somewhere else after it falls?

Why is it going to come down here?

"Second uncle, you are so amazing!
That's all you can figure out!"

Zhu Xiongying in the simulator praised Mei Yin.

His eyes were full of stars.

I admire you so much.

His admiration for Mei Yin is beyond words.

In a short period of time, Mei Yin had already captured his heart.

Gained great favor.

"Second Uncle, you know so much. What you said is much more interesting than what those teachers taught."

Mei Yin smiled and said, "What the teachers teach is knowledge and the principles of how to behave.

What I am telling you is also knowledge, just in a different way.

The focus is also different.

The world is big and there are many things to do.

The knowledge and principles that exist are not just those taught by teachers and written in books.

Apart from these, everything has its reasons and traces.

There is a reason for its existence.

It is worth our attention to understand the reason behind it.

In this way, many things will be easier to do next.

After all, there are many things that only after understanding the principles behind them can we act according to their principles and characteristics.

Make many changes.

Take advantage of it, or circumvent it.

These are all very important.”

Hearing Mei Yin say this, Zhu Xiongying nodded.

It was obvious that he had taken Mei Yin's words to heart.

And Zhu Yuanzhang, after watching this scene.

I couldn't help but nodded as well.

I think what Mei Yin said just now is very right.

I also think that in the future, Xiongying should study with Meiyin.

It is a very good decision.

Mei Yin's vision, thoughts, and perspective on things, among many other aspects, are different from many people.

Unconsciously, your focus will be raised to a very high and far point.

His mind, bearing and many other aspects far surpass those of ordinary people.

It's really good to let Xiongying follow him to gain knowledge and broaden his mind.

And he also remembered what Mei Yin had said before, that the content of this class was called "Open your eyes and see the world."

This really opens your eyes to the world!
Not only did it open the eyes of Xiongying, but I also felt like my eyes were opened!
Through Mei Yin's narration, in a short period of time, he saw a world that was different from the usual one.

The world remains the same, but after Mei Yin’s story.

When you look at this world that you are familiar with and accustomed to, you will find that there are many differences.

Many things have become different.

In fact, there is a clearer feeling.

This has never happened before.

"Our world is very big, and our Ming Dynasty only occupies a small part of it.

It's not the whole world.

In addition to the Ming Dynasty, there are many lands and many people.

all kinds.

The living customs and products produced in different places are often different.

The earth is very vast.

Of course, the ocean is even more vast.

From what we know now, judging from the map that has been drawn.

The ocean is definitely larger than the land.

And these are only what the people of Daming have experienced and seen in recent years. There are still many places that have not been explored at all.

I have every reason to believe that there is more to it than what we already know.

There are still many places and many species that we didn’t know about before…

My Ming Dynasty does not have everything.

There is a saying that goes, "A stone from another mountain can be used to polish jade."

Some things are out there and they're not that great.

But after arriving at the Ming Dynasty, perhaps it can play a great role in the development of our Ming Dynasty.

So the lesson I’m going to give this time is called “Open Your Eyes and See the World.”

We should not only take a good look at how big our world is.

Gain a basic understanding of the world.

You should also know that this world is rich in resources.

Only in this way will your vision not be limited to a small area of ​​land.

Don't become complacent after achieving some success.

I will not rest on my laurels..."

In the simulator, Mei Yin's voice continued to sound.

I am explaining this to Zhu Xiongying here.

Zhu Xiongying nodded to indicate that he remembered it.

Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded.

Apart from some of the incredible speculations and conclusions that Mei Yin said.

Let’s look at what Mei Yin said.

He also thought it made a lot of sense.

Broadening your horizons does play a big role.

For example, he is now passing through overseas caravans.

After getting to know more about overseas, my feeling towards the world has changed a lot.

Sometimes there are more options for looking at problems and solving them.

You can stand higher and see farther.

More grand and more reasonable.

“By the way, the earth is round.

In addition to the two phenomena we mentioned before.

There is another way to verify this.

Since this is a sphere, we can go east or west.

Will definitely return eventually.

If it weren't a sphere, then if we went east or west all the time, we would keep moving forward.

Keep going until the end of the sky.

There is no land and no water.

No matter what, if you keep walking in one direction, either west or east, you will never come back.

But if the earth is round, then it will eventually return to the original shape.

In the future, perhaps we can let the caravan sail by boat to conduct a verification."

Mei Yin heard it but didn't say so, so Zhu Xiongying recorded it.

As for Zhu Yuanzhang who was watching these things in Wuying Hall, he also had an idea in his mind and immediately remembered this matter firmly.

I have made up my mind.

Next, he will arrange this matter quickly.

Let someone verify it carefully.

Let’s see if what Mei Yin said is right!
Those two phenomena seem to make sense.

However, this conclusion goes too far against common sense.

It's a little hard to believe.

It would be most appropriate to use the verification method that Mei Yin mentioned at this time to verify it.

If what Mei Yin said can be verified to be true, then the significance of this matter is truly extraordinary!
Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little emotional for a moment.

Mei Yin has a smart brain.

If he were to think about this matter, he would never be able to think of such a verification method.

"Then Second Uncle, why is there a distinction between day and night?"

In the simulator, Zhu Xiongying seemed to be stimulated by what Mei Yin said.

Ideas also become active.

Looking at Mei Yin, he couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to the question asked by his eldest grandson.

For a moment, I wondered if my eldest grandson had been led astray by Mei Yin?
There is night and day, it's so obvious.

Isn’t this because of the sun?
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. When the sun comes out, there is light, and then the day becomes bright.

When the sun sets and the light disappears, doesn’t it become night?
Why bother asking Mei Yin about this kind of thing?

Just look more and you will know?
He didn't believe that Mei Yin could say anything about this matter!
“That’s a good question.

I used to think that the distinction between day and night was because the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

The sun is revolving around the earth where we live.

There are also myths and legends that say there was a god who rode a flaming chariot that moved around in the sky day after day.

But I also made some other observations through the telescope.

I discovered that this thing seemed a little different.

It's not the sun that's rotating, but the earth we live on that's rotating.

Come, let's do another experiment, and then you can understand what's going on."

As he spoke, Mei Yin lit a candle.

Place it on one side of the globe.

And draw all the curtains in the house.

In this case, the light becomes very dim.

Then he gently moved the globe, and it slowly moved from west to east.

“See, without Xiongying, this is like the earth beneath our feet.

The light emitted by this candle is equivalent to the light of the sun.

This light cannot penetrate the globe.

Likewise, the sun's light cannot penetrate the earth.

Now the side illuminated by sunlight is day, and the side not illuminated by sunlight is night.

As the earth rotates, some places can be illuminated, while some places cannot.

Now the place where I am located is illuminated, and it is daytime.

I continued to turn and now I was on the opposite side of the sun.

It’s getting dark…”

In the simulator, Zhu Xiongying listened very carefully.

Combined with the experiment conducted by Mei Yin, it seems very interesting.

He nodded vigorously to indicate that his second uncle was right.

At the same time, I couldn't help but turn the globe with my hands and observe this matter myself...

Inside the Wuying Hall, looking at the scene in the simulator, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what to say for a moment.

Can this thing be explained in this way?

How come Mei Yin can always come up with a different reason for everything?
Is what he said really true?
It seems impossible just to think about it.

How big is the earth? The sun is just that small.

How can the sun be bigger than the earth?
How is it possible? The earth revolves around the sun.
It can only be a small sun, orbiting the earth!
The more I think about it, the less I understand.

Just as he was thinking this, the image on the simulator disappeared.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang feel extremely regretful.

He also wanted to listen to more of Mei Yin's lecture here!

Let’s see how much more he can say that is quite outrageous but also eye-opening.

Now I can't see it at all.

It’s really a pity!

However, as new images emerged in the simulator.

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly suppressed this idea.

This new picture was also unique, and it made his eyes suddenly light up!
