Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 179 Free Fall
After Lu Shan said that, everyone around him almost thought of what the other person meant.

And Zhu Yuanzhang had already stood up and looked outside.

He immediately thought of armament craftsmanship, and subconsciously sketched a picture of the future in his mind.

"It seems that this Gewuyuan is getting more and more beyond our expectations. This thing is completely unexpected."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh, and Zhu Biao also nodded.

"However, this craft must be kept secret. From now on, I am afraid that it will not only be more powerful than the sword, but also hundreds of times more powerful than what it said. Although it is a horrifying exaggeration, there is always no problem in improving it several times..."

Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his chin. It is understandable that what he said was too exaggerated in this environment, but as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he could also see its true potential.

"As for what's next..."

And when he was talking like this.

at the same time.

"You'd better tell me quickly, we all know this."

"There will be a lot of things today, let's move on to the second part immediately!"

Su Xian looked down at the people below. After his enthusiasm was mobilized, he looked to the side.

Meanwhile, on the third floor.

"Now you can write your answers on the paper, and then put your name and address in the box. From now on, anyone who answers correctly can enter the Gewuyuan."

After saying a few simple words.

"Yeah, are we all waiting to go in?"

With this in mind, he looked at everyone who seemed to be still listening, and said loudly again: "You can hear me clearly."

"Are you going to use our eldest grandson's money to give monthly salary to people outside? Does the Gewuyuan not want to open? Or do they not want to do it anymore?"

soon.

"Could it be that this problem is not as simple as we thought?" Zhu Biao said in time.

"Is Gewuyuan acting out of charity? Such a simple question is nothing more than left and right. There is at least a half chance."

Jia Xian himself was actually a little shocked. In fact, he had tried it secretly himself, but the result he got was completely different from what he imagined.

"As you can see, these two copper balls are one as big as a human head and the other as big as a fist. The problem in Gewuyuan now is which one will hit the ground first if they are dropped at the same time from the fifth floor of Tianjiang Tower."

"And, as we all know, due to some reasons, it is impossible to leave enough time for the future as before. Therefore, this issue will be sealed before sunset today..."

As he spoke, he looked to the left. Soon a craftsman opened a wooden box and took out something for everyone to see.

"End?"

However, the crowd was dumbfounded, "Is this the only question?"

Jia Xian below also got the news.

"Hmph!" Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "There are more than five thousand people. According to the scale of the monthly salary distribution of Gewuyuan during this period, I am afraid that all of them will hand in answers this afternoon. At a glance, the crowds are bordering each other. Those people are just Just standing still is enough to flatten the several acres of Gewuyuan..."

Seeing everyone's expressions, Jia Xian said again:
"Therefore, it's still the same as before. If you can answer the questions correctly, you will go directly to the Gakushuyuan. If you can't answer the questions correctly, you can only wait for the next time."

Jia Xian raised his head, first glanced above, and after confirming the order, he said:
"Today, it's actually a matter of two copper balls."

Seeing that Jia Xian was obviously serious, he wasn't joking with them at all.

Jia Xian made it very clear, and these have actually been the basic rules of Gewuyuan long ago, so everyone already understands them.

The crowd became more and more anxious, eager to be the first to step forward.

"Yes!" Lu Shan agreed.

But all the people became more and more stunned.

At a glance, everyone who heard it seemed to think that they had heard it wrong. While the people were whispering to each other, their faces were full of disbelief.

The question this time is surprisingly simple, and it is simply a kindness to everyone.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this question, he subconsciously asked it.

The people who had just been caught up in the discussion started to show more interest, and some even took a few anxious steps forward, obviously impatient.

Looking at everyone's eyes that have become dull.

"Shouldn't it be so simple?"

Hearing this, Jia Xian said helplessly: "It's that simple."

Of course, there may be differences in height. Maybe the place in Tianjiang Tower is different, and the results may be different.

As he said that, someone had already taken out a wooden box, which was completely closed with only a small opening on the top.

"Does Gokuyuan have too much money?"

The voice just fell.

He then looked at everyone and said loudly: "I know why you are here. Due to the expansion of Gewuyuan, more new craftsmen are needed this time."

At this moment, many people had already raised various questions. Even the big man who had just jumped out from the second floor of Tianjiang Tower was shocked by what he said. It seemed that he wished he could tell him the method.

Zhu Biao also looked puzzled, "This question is indeed simple. There is a half chance that, looking at today's situation, there will be at least five thousand more people? There are not so many main officials in the six yamen."

Zhu Yuanzhang was also puzzled.

At this moment, the people below clearly thought of something.

"Isn't it possible that the big copper ball is hollow and the small copper ball is solid? Will you fool us then?"

Jia Xian smiled after hearing this, and it was obvious that he still wanted to start as soon as possible.

After all, give them enough time.

"You can rest assured that these two are solid and even the materials used are exactly the same."

"Even later, everyone can come and check it."

talking.

Jia Xian looked to the left, and soon someone hurried away and ran up the stairs.

Jia Xian first asked them to separate an open space around them, and then waited quietly...

After all, the "facts" can't be announced until they hand in their answers first. Otherwise it would be completely meaningless.

"Time, put the answer in the box within an hour, it will be considered complete. After an hour, our test will also start, and the answer then will not count."

Jia Xian said, in fact, the original guess of Gewuyuan was that it would only need 300 people at most.

After all, they received too much at once, and their own finances couldn't operate.

Although Gewuyuan has a lot of income, that was what happened before. Nowadays, various places have basically figured out the production technology and process of "monosodium glutamate". Gewuyuan is not overbearing and does not allow others to make it. It is just that in this part of the capital, , after all, some people are still afraid of Gewuyuan, so no one dares to be the first to do it.

And this income cannot compare with the expenditure.

After all, Gewuyuan requires a lot of things, and the monthly salary of the craftsmen to maintain it is far higher than that of ordinary people.

While thinking...

At this time, the tables had been set up, with pens, ink, paper and inkstones already prepared on them. Many people who were prepared had already brought their own pens and papers.

However, the answer is obviously very simple, even just a few words, and the answer can be written in one breath.

But everyone did not dare to write lightly. Instead, they looked left and right, listening to other people's discussions, as if waiting for a valid answer.

"Everyone, please tell me, does the big one fall to the ground first or the small one?"

"It should be a big one. The big one is much heavier."

"Yes! Then fill them all in."

"That's not right. What if the little one also falls to the ground first? After all, we are not fools. This problem is just like one plus one. How can it be so simple? Who can enter Gewuyuan if they want to?"

"that's true……"

The more the crowd discussed, the more confused they became.

They even fell into entanglements with themselves, and many people seemed to be quarreling as they talked.

However, at this time, someone had already put pen to paper and started taking action.

After all, there was only one hour, so it would take a long time just to line up with so many people. By then the answer would be correct, but I would be wasting my time, and I would be so angry that I would vomit blood and die.

At this moment, many people also noticed this step, immediately ignored it, wrote down the answer directly, and then hurriedly crowded towards the front...

And this moment.

Lan Yu was still immersed in the straight sword in his hand.

It is not like ordinary swords, with the sharp tip in the middle, but is made diagonally. It looks like a sword, but is actually a knife.

Only when I touched it did I realize that it was completely different from ordinary iron manufacturing.

After thinking for a while, he shamelessly talked to the craftsmen of Gokuyuan for a long time before he got the sword into his hands, then picked it up and headed directly towards the windward attic.

As for the answer, he himself did not go to the Gewün Academy. Apart from the initial curiosity, in terms of its attractiveness, it was one ten thousandth less than the object in his hand.

Returning to the attic, I found that except for the eldest sister, the two brothers and Chang Mao had not returned.

He quickly came to the eldest sister and started talking about the wonderfulness of this artifact.

And at this moment...

In the attic next to it.

Xu Yingxu and Xu Zengshou were lying on the window, and on the other side were Chang Sheng and Chang Sen running over.

The two of them were arguing about the answer just now. After arguing for a long time, they finally reached an agreement, but they started arguing with the Xu brothers again.

"We made an agreement. The two of us believe that Su Xian must have some tricks up his sleeve, so the younger one landed first." Chang Sen looked at Xu Yingxu and once again used his intelligence.

Although Xu Yingxu is smart, he still chooses to respect the facts, "The big one must land first, and the big one will be heavier!"

"What's the point of being heavy? Feathers are even bigger. If you compare a small stone with one, who will fall to the ground first? Do you still need to think about it with your head?" Chang Sen said disdainfully.

"But are those feathers?" Xu Zengshou shook his head and said, "Chang Sen, you are starting again, you like to be clever."

"Of course you don't try to be clever, it's because you're not smart..."

It looked like there was going to be a fight again. On the other side, Xu Huizu looked helpless and was about to stand up and drive away these noisy people who were giving them a headache.

You know, not only the mother is here today, but the eldest sister is also here, as well as the crown princess and several princesses, just in the cubicle.

And at this moment, on the other side

"Mother..." Princess Yan Xu Miaoyun was about to leave the capital and follow King Yan to Peiping to join the feudal clan.

Even if I married into Miyagi before, I rarely felt the sadness of parting. After all, they are all in the capital, and you can see them anytime you want.

But soon, the distance between Peking and Yingtian Mansion seemed to be a matter of life and death. After all, according to the Ming Dynasty's regulations for the vassal kings, they were not allowed to leave the fiefdom without the emperor's order.

Once you leave, you never know when we will see you again.

"Why are you crying? Don't you still have some time? Your father will be back soon, and our family can get together again. Besides, the princess can still return to Beijing if she wants to..."

Xu's mother was relieved, and at the same time, she also apologized to the princess and several princesses next to her.

After all, he should be waiting on the other side, and his daughter will naturally come to see him. However, the noise there was really fierce, and the other two daughters were eager to see Miao Yun, and the Crown Princess was here again, so Yu Qing and Yu Li came together.

At this moment, Crown Princess Chang Jing saw this and stood up first.

She herself was going to visit her mother, so she couldn't continue to disturb her here.

However, just before they were about to leave...

"This is the answer!"

On the side, several little girls who looked about the same age as Chang Sen and others, wearing various gorgeous dresses, were also involved in the discussion.

Inside, a girl wearing a light green dress smiled brightly, "I have heard from my second brother a long time ago that Su Xian's problem is definitely not that simple."

"So no one, big or small, will land first."

She picked up the two earrings that she had just run down from the ground.

The two are not the same size, but they look somewhat similar to the copper ball.

After they threw it several times, they actually did not get the same answer. Instead, they were different for various reasons.

After trying several times, the latter seemed to have discovered something and finally couldn't help but get excited.

"Too."

On the other side, the goose-yellow girl also smiled sweetly, which was different from the former's bright smile, but a little lively and sweet, "Father has already said that Su Xian is a brat at his age, and judging from his behavior, he won't Show mercy and open the gate of Gewuyuan half way."

As she said that, she pointed downward again and said doubtfully: "However, I have seen the recruitment in the Gewu Express before. Behind every question, there are actually some other purposes. Is it just a simple matter of who goes first this time? Landed?"

"I remember last year's Jingzhe, at least I used it to talk about force. Later, I also read the "Analysis of Force" published by Gewuyuan. Gravity, push force, pull force, lift force, friction force... It seems simple when broken down, but It’s very complicated if you delve a little deeper…”

"The focus this time should be on the "Four People's Taxation", right? Is this just because of recruiting new people?"

"Right."

The two were discussing, and at this moment, the Crown Princess, who was about to leave, couldn't help but turn around.

The Xu family currently has three daughters, namely Xu Miaoyun, Xu Miaoqing, and Xu Miaojin, all of whom are extremely smart. Although the third daughter is young, she is even more intelligent.

As for the princesses who came this time, there were only three, Princess Ningguo and Princess Chongning, and the other one was the Eighth Princess who was the most discussed during this time inside and outside the palace.

Because he was only eight years old, Zhu Yuanzhang did not give him a title.

The two people in the discussion were Xu Miaojin and the eighth princess Zhu Yujing.

"That said, it reminds me."

Crown Princess Chang Jing responded quickly.

During this period, the Su family and his son were in "extreme danger". She wanted to keep Su Xian, and she and Princess Chongning also gave her father and others advice.

It's just that I can hear the rumors outside, and they are a bit unstable after all.

Seeing this now, he was thinking of a plan, "Are you sure of what you said?"

"Of course!" Zhu Yujing was very confident, "Sister-in-law, if you don't believe it, just wait and see, they will definitely land at the same time."

Xu Miaojin also nodded slightly.

"Really?" Chang Jing seemed to have other questions, "So this time Gewuyuan can't recruit anyone?"

"No." Zhu Yujing shook her head with a clear voice. Although she was young, she was slightly taller than her peers, and her head could rest on Chang Jing's elbow. "Father said that every mountain is higher than the other, and this capital city There are a lot of capable people inside, and you should know the answer if you use your hands a lot."

"I guess that when Su Xian raised this issue, he must be looking for some...well, people who break the rules."

"Breaking the rules?" Chang Jing was stunned. She had never thought of this.

"Sister-in-law, think about it, Su Xian said the answer is only who falls first, then everyone subconsciously thinks, aren't there two answers? The older one and the younger one. Even if someone can think of falling at the same time, they still have to use the courage to write it. "

"I guess... tsk tsk." Zhu Yujing shook her head, "I can think of a lot this time, but there are definitely few who can be recruited."

Chang Jing thought about what she had just thought and couldn't help but smile: "You're right. Maybe I don't want to recruit new people. I also heard from Xiongying that because of the random play of the children last time, Gewuyuan has been unable to make ends meet."

"Maybe this time, even if someone answers it, they will say that no one answered it correctly."

"Ah?" As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yujing's eyes suddenly widened, "No way, isn't doing this a fraud?"

"Am I just guessing?" Chang Jing explained.

"Then let's try." At this time, Xu Miaojin on the other side raised her head and blinked her clear black and white eyes, "We will also send answers inside."

Chang Jing smiled slightly and said, "Let's try it."

……

At the same time, everyone crowded to put the answers into the box in front of them, and Jia Xian was also watching.

But suddenly, another man with a white face and no beard hurriedly came down from Tianjiang Tower and handed him several pieces of paper rolled together.

He took it subconsciously, but was shocked when he saw the appearance of the person in front of him.

"put in."

A high-pitched voice sounded, and Jia Xian nodded subconsciously, but his mind was completely confused. He didn't even know when the other party would leave. He just made wild guesses in his heart.

Finally, the time has come.

Jia Xian quickly stopped, causing dissatisfaction among many people behind him. He also said that he got the answer right, but he was half a step too late.

In response, the guards around them only took half a step forward, and then they quickly dispersed, shouting that it was a pity that they were only one step away from the Gokuyuan...

At this moment, on the fifth floor of the attic.

Huang Ke was already ready. He grabbed the copper ball with both hands and let go at the same time under the expectant and anxious eyes of everyone.

"Wow!"

At this moment, countless eyes were focused on this large and small copper ball.

It is obviously less than a hundred meters high, but it can fall in an instant.

But under the pressure of many people, it seemed as long as an hour.

In the middle, the two copper balls are not far apart.

But a "boom" sound.

Land at the same time!

In an instant...

The crowd was silent at first, and then their eyes changed from astonishment to disbelief, and then to confusion.

"Landed to the ground at the same time?" someone exclaimed, "How could they land at the same time?"

As the sound rang out, the crowd instantly became excited.

"I don't believe it. Shouldn't the big one hit the ground first? The big one is heavy!"

The exclamations were mixed with sounds of disbelief, but vaguely, there seemed to be a voice of extreme surprise - "I got the answer right..."

"Everyone..." At this moment, a voice that seemed to come from high in the sky came down.

But above, Su Xian was holding something like a trumpet and shouting down: "Please remember today."

"Just like the copper ball test taught to you in Guozixue last time - for the first time, what Gewüyuan wants to explain to you is any force that exists in the world!"

"And this second time..."

"Similarly, I want you to re-recognize one thing - speed!"

The discussion below became smaller and smaller, and Su Xian continued: "Two copper balls of different sizes, the same position, the same time, in fact, I can let whoever lands first, it is just to give more at the beginning. Just a little effort."

"And if they fall at the same time without any force, then there will only be the influence of gravity."

"Of course, in this kind of environment, you must first get rid of the resistance of the object, such as using a piece of paper..."

"Under perfect conditions, this phenomenon also shows that if there is no external force, the falling speed of objects is not affected by their respective weights."

"So, this phenomenon can be explained as the free fall motion of my Ming Dynasty..."

Su Xian looked down and said something thought-provoking again.

"Of course, the higher you climb, the heavier you become. Once you fall, you will be shattered to pieces. On the contrary, if you are light, you will not. If you can have wings, you can learn how to fly!"

"That's exactly what Gokuyuan is trying to do!"

Many people heard his words and used them to make associations. They even thought of the prime minister and secretly said that he meant something.

But now that Su Guiyuan has fallen, Chao Jingyuan, who grew up with him, has become someone else's wedding dress.

As a result, now he can only rely on Gewuyuan. Now Su Xian's purpose seems to be to use Gewuyuan as the basis to increase his own influence?

For a time, there was a huge crowd, and what happened today after "On the Taxation of the Four Peoples" seemed to be deliberately expanding this whirlpool.

Some people regard it as a buffer before the situation changes drastically.

But now, the effect of the buffer has come to an end, and the storm is about to come, and the Gewuyuan once again comes into view.

The "History of the Ming Dynasty" records: In the twelfth year of Hongwu's reign, he suffered from the awakening of insects.

Following the Guozixue experiment, the second large-scale experiment of the Institute of Science and Technology once again caused crowds to desert.

This experiment is titled: Free Fall!
