Short video spoiler history: The beginning of modern warfare

Chapter 60 Why don't you be the Dragon King?

During the Hongwu period, Jinling City.

Galileo's thought experiment proved that there were problems with Aristotle's theory, but his theory was even more "shocking".

Even though they had a premonition, when this theory was confirmed, the ministers still felt like they had seen a ghost and found it unbelievable.

Not only them, but even Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was filled with turbulent waves that could not be calmed for a long time.

This vacuum experiment not only proves that the falling of an object has nothing to do with weight, but also proves the existence of air resistance and its effect on feathers.

Of course, Tianmu only mentioned the formula for the falling speed of an object, but did not explain the deduction process.

When Zhu Yuanzhang and others came to their senses, they carefully pondered this formula: v=gt, g is gravity, and t is time.

"According to the formula given by Tianmu, the speed at which an object falls is constantly changing. In other words, the longer the falling time, the faster the object falls."

"If there was no formula, and we only recorded the speed of the falling object in different time periods, these numbers could be written into a book," Zhu Biao said thoughtfully.

Everyone imagined the scene. If the speed of a falling object was really needed, it would be a disgusting scene to look up the corresponding speed value from a thick book.

It is for this reason that everyone has to admit the simplicity and profound meaning of this formula.

From this simple experiment, we can see that this is almost an extremely profound subject.

"This Galileo is really a genius!" Zhu Yuanzhang commented, but in fact he still had many questions.

《Although I know the results will be achieved at the same time, it is still very exciting to see the scene》

"After the Death of Galileo: Galileo entered heaven, saw Aristotle, and was then beaten to death by Aristotle.

Aristotle: "You are the one who ruined my reputation!"

"Modern natural science was established in the process of overthrowing Aristotle. [狗头]"

"But what's the use of this?" someone muttered.

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, his heart beating fast. He was a pragmatist, and every time he learned a lot of strange knowledge and magic from the sky, they were all extremely practical.

He couldn't figure out the use of this alone.

Of course he believed that this theory was still useful, otherwise future generations would not have spent so much effort to prove it.

The sky screen switched again, and this time the picture showed four young men in uniform standing in front of the camera, looking at the manuscripts in their hands.

Behind them is a "small sky curtain" that is somewhat similar to the sky curtain, but it is obvious that the "small sky curtain" is real.

There are eight characters on the small canopy: "Virtue and conduct go hand in hand, and excellence will prevail in the world"

On the right side of the small canopy, there is a sentence written: "No effort will be wasted, and success will come to you through perseverance." It roughly means that all efforts will not be wasted, and the suffering you endure today will eventually make you achieve something.

And on the left side of the small skylight it was written: "13 days left until the final exam."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it carefully. There was no doubt that this was a school in later generations. This room was a "classroom". This was the third or fourth time he had seen this scene, so he was unwilling to miss any details.

"What are you doing?" Zhu Biao asked curiously, looking at his peers in later generations who were almost the same age as him.

[My brothers asked me to play basketball, but I ignored them]

[My classmates asked me to play King of Glory, but I was indifferent]

[The principal asked me to take a long vacation, but I ignored it]

[My friend asked me to go shopping at GAI, but I refused]

[There is too little homework left, I toss and turn]

[If I don’t read for a day, I will lose my appetite]

[I have too many holidays and I can’t sleep or eat well]

[On days without exams, I am extremely anxious]

During the Hongwu period, Jinling City.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to laugh at first, but he was choked when he saw the sentence "a hundred days of violation of one's will" in the comment, although he didn't understand the real meaning of this joke.

The others also laughed. It was obvious that these four young men were lying with open eyes. They were either forced to do so or they were speaking in a sarcastic way.

And that serious expression added to the contrast effect.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Zhu Yuanzhang coughed and laughed.

Liu Ji had a smile on his face, but he was also observing secretly.

There are several school or classroom scenes appearing on the sky curtain, including "Zhuge Liang scolding Wang Lang" and "magic of balloons rising".

At this moment, he was quite surprised. Whether in terms of mental state or temperament, these students from later generations were obviously superior to the teenagers of the same age in Jinling City today.

You know, Nanjing is now the capital of the Ming Dynasty, a place where dragons and tigers reign.

In fact, from the mental outlook and state of the students in the scene that appeared in the sky before, each of them was delicate and fragile, not to mention doing farm work or something like that. Anyway, he could reversely infer the living standards of future generations.

It was a fascinating era.

Now that I can get a glimpse of it through the sky, it feels like scratching an itch through a shoe.

There is no harm without comparison.

In Jinling City, many fathers were furious when they saw their silly sons laughing by themselves.
What a traitor! ! !
People with better family backgrounds and better luck than you work harder than you. How can you seek justice?

As a result, the whole city of Jinling was in chaos.
[I was secretly delighted when I heard the news that school was reopening]

[My physical education class was occupied, I was overjoyed]

[I was excited to see the full schedule]

[I was overjoyed when I saw the test paper on the tablet]

[Study Bar makes teachers feel uneasy]

【Let’s study and let parents have a good time】

【Let’s study and make Tsinghua and Peking University crazy about us】

"Thunder God: Which one should I strike first? [Dog Head]"

"It's just a matter of convenience. Let's cut off all the extra classes."

"It seems like I love going to work, but it was all forced [covering face]"

"I love going to work? I? Love going to work?"

I love? Go to work?

Why can you send voice?

"My classmate asked me to play Identity V, and I started it right there [crying]"

"My friend asked me to play King of Glory, so I quickly logged in [covering my face]"

"Does the teacher have any evidence against these four people? [Covering face]"

[We were supposed to be close brothers in Guangdong and Guangxi, and F3 in South China, but why are they quarreling over a cloud?]

[One year, the Guangdong Meteorological Bureau directly sued the Guangxi Meteorological Bureau because there was little rain at the end of the year, which everyone had been looking forward to for a long time]

[After a cloud finally appeared in the sky, Guigui fired 100 rounds of artillery shells to urge Yueyue to surrender, leaving no cloud at all]

[Guigui felt very aggrieved and gave a very simple reason: Will you still eat sugar oranges next year?]

[Finally the two sides reached a settlement, Guangxi hit odd days, Guangdong hit even days, but the Guangxi Meteorological Bureau always fired several shots at 12 o'clock in the evening, which made Guangdong and Yue feel very frustrated] [Finally, Guangxi got the chance to leak a large cloud]

[My goodness, the scene was so spectacular. Hundreds of cannons were fired in a row. Soon the sky darkened and a gentle rain began to fall.]

During the Zhenguan period, Chang'an City.

Li Shimin, who had just suppressed the corner of his mouth, was confused again.

???

"What does the sky dome mean?"

"Your Majesty, Tianmu is talking about urging you to surrender!"

"Rain?"

"I am a foolish minister. If I understand correctly, you are talking about rain!"

".My dear, what do you think of this statement?"

"." Fang Xuanling was speechless.

"Ah??? Even the Dragon King was recruited by them?" Cheng Yaojin's tongue was slurred and he could hardly speak clearly.

Not only Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin, and Fang Xuanling, but also other civil and military officials such as Li Jing and Li Ji all had their brains shut down.
Can rainfall still intervene?

Isn't there something else you don't know?
With such a skill, he could play tricks in any era.
After the downtime, Li Shimin's eyes lit up instantly. What a good thing!!!
[I thought the incident was over, but I never expected that it would only take less than a week]

[The Fujian Meteorological Bureau also joined the group chat, suing Guangdong for being too harsh and not leaving us a single drop of rain]

[Now you know why weather forecasts are often inaccurate, because your rain may have been intercepted on the way.]

[It should be said that our Meteorological Bureau is really powerful. The equipment has been constantly updated in recent years. Our country has been at peace for decades. In terms of combat experience, the Meteorological Bureau may be far ahead]

[Some netizens concluded that in just one year in 22 years, they fired 49.8 grenades and 13.4 rockets, which really makes them worthy of being China's Second Artillery Corps, the third largest artillery unit in Asia.]

[This is a paramilitary force capable of coordinated space-earth operations, with more than 8000 anti-aircraft guns]

[The number of vehicle-mounted rockets exceeds 10,000. The key is that the country has to meet their demands.]

[After all, the people all need an accurate weather forecast, not to mention that there is a guy next to us who is using our Shandong weather forecast for free]

During the Hongwu period, Jinling City.

There was heated discussion on the streets, in various snack shops, tea stalls, restaurants, etc., not to mention predicting the weather, can they even predict rainfall?

Many people were curious and started discussing and speculating: "What is the purpose of firing cannonballs? Could it be that this is a way of praying for rain in later times? But I haven't seen any Taoists fasting, bathing, or performing rituals."

"."

"You might as well say that the Dragon King's reincarnation is faster."

"No, no, what you said is not scientific at all."

"Hey, you say praying for rain is scientific?" The man, who was told it was unscientific, instantly became angry, rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to argue.

"That's praying for rain, isn't it? Setting off firecrackers is the agreed signal, equivalent to the sound of horns and drums when an army charges. If the Dragon King hears it, it will rain."

"."

"Why are you speechless? That means I was right, right?"

"Bullshit!"

'So rude'

The others hurried to stop the angry man, but it was of no avail. No matter how much they looked at each other, their scalps were scratched until they bled, but they still had no idea what to do.

If he is not the Dragon King, then he must be your relative?

In front of the Wuying Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was no longer calm.

Unlike power generation, rainfall is a major event closely related to people's livelihood.

If there is such a means, it means that man can overcome nature and improve the drought situation within a certain range.

Zhu Yuanzhang swallowed his saliva. This was too much fun. Could you really make it rain artificially?

No, I hope you really will.
Liu Ji's face was full of disbelief. He had served as the director of the Imperial Observatory and was quite skilled in observing celestial phenomena.

However, he could only make predictions. If artificial rainfall was really needed, that could probably only be done by Zhuge Liang in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

What is the principle of artificial rainfall?

[It’s actually very simple. White clouds are just water droplets (ice crystals) floating in the air. The reason they don’t fall down is because these water droplets are too small.]

[The purpose of launching a large rocket into the sky is to make the water droplets bigger. The rocket contains catalysts such as dry ice, silver iodide and sodium chloride. They are hexagonal like the crystal lattice of water, so they can naturally act as condensation nuclei.]

[When water droplets encounter these substances, they will condense on them and gradually grow larger. When they grow large enough, they can overcome the rising air currents and air resistance, and eventually fall down to form the rain we see.]

[In addition to using rockets to bring rain, you can also use aircraft carrying catalysts to drill into the clouds and spray them, which can also achieve the effect of artificial rainfall]

[In addition, this feature can also be used to eliminate rain. For example, in order to avoid the impact of rainfall during the Beijing Olympics, rainfall-inducing measures were used to make clouds that might produce rainfall produce rainfall in advance.]

【Thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the world-renowned opening ceremony. 】

"Hurry up, write it down!" Zhu Yuanzhang himself didn't understand it, but he knew it didn't matter if he didn't understand. He just had to write it down. As long as he kept studying, he would definitely understand it in the future.

The clerks could hear the urgency of His Majesty's tone, and of course they dared not shirk their duties, so they wrote furiously, and soon finally wrote down the "recipe" completely before replying, "Your Majesty, I have finished copying it."

"Okay, present it!"

So a eunuch presented them to him. In fact, he could still remember these rather strange names without even looking at them.

Dry ice, silver iodide, sodium chloride.

I don't know what dry ice and iodine are.

This silver should be an element in the periodic table, as should chlorine and sodium.

"Sodium chloride is something that contains chlorine and sodium."

"So the periodic table has such wonderful uses?" Zhu Yuanzhang exclaimed in amazement.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on obtaining the magic art of making rain fall!" Hu Weiyong and others congratulated him, and they were filled with admiration for the knowledge of later generations.

Many people were jealous in their hearts: Ahhhhh, if I could do this, His Majesty would definitely praise me to the sky???
The sky curtain misled me!!!

Late Han Dynasty, Nanjun.

Zhuge Liang was delighted. With such magical power, if he could learn artillery technology from Tianmu in the future, Jingzhou would no longer have to worry about drought.

This periodic table of elements is truly all-encompassing.

A periodic table of elements, a Galileo thought experiment, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong looked at each other and both yearned for the knowledge of future generations.

"Brother, am I dreaming? This is not praying for rain, this is clearly robbery."

"Friends from other provinces who come to Guangxi must believe the information released by the Guangxi Meteorological Bureau. If they say it will rain, it will rain. In Guangxi, if he says it will rain, he is more effective than the Dragon King."

"I heard that the Dragon King of the West Sea was so angry with Gui Gui that he flipped the table [covering his face]"

"The Dragon King of the West Sea: Why don't you be the Dragon King?"

"I know about this. Two years ago, Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian suffered from a severe drought. A cloud came from Guangxi. Originally, there was torrential rain in eastern Guangdong and Fujian. Then, Guangxi and western and northern Guangdong were hit by heavy rain. Eastern Guangdong and Fujian did not receive a single drop of rain."

"The Guangxi Meteorological Bureau has a nickname, called Che Da Pao [covering face]"
