Smuggling Daming

Bai Junwan was very serious when reading the book, she could even be said to be deaf. At least when Zhou Zhong walked into the pavilion, she still looked down at the book in her hand, and did not notice Zhou Zhong's arrival at all.

For Bai Junwan's obsessed situation, Zhou Zhong had already encountered it many times, so he didn't wake her up directly, but walked gently behind Bai Junwan, leaned out and looked down at the book in her hand, The result surprised him, because he didn't know any of the characters written in the book held by the other party, because the book in the other party's hand was not written in Chinese at all, but an alphabet similar to English in later generations .

"This...isn't this Latin?" Zhou Zhong said to himself in shock. Europe in the Middle Ages was still influenced by the Roman Empire, coupled with the promotion of the church, so the common language of the whole of Europe is Latin. At least half of the books are written in Latin.

Zhou Zhong's soliloquy also awakened Bai Junwan who was addicted to the book. When she turned her head, she happened to meet Zhou Zhong's eyes, and the distance between the two faces was only a few millimeters. The real breath and smell made Bai Junwan " Ah~" with a blushing face, he immediately stood up and hid aside with his book in his arms, while lowering his head and not daring to look at Zhou Zhong again.

And Zhou Zhong didn't expect that Bai Junwan would suddenly turn around, causing the two of them to almost accidentally kiss, which made him a little embarrassed for a while.But as a man, he knew that he had to take the initiative to break the embarrassment, so Zhou Zhongqiang calmed down and said with a smile: "Junwan, what book are you reading, why don't I know a single word?"

Bai Junwan's heart was also beating violently at this time, since her husband who was not as good as a beast disappeared.It was the first time for her to be so close to a man, especially when she smelled the masculine breath on Zhou Zhong's body, she was a little flustered and didn't know how to speak for a while.

Fortunately, Zhou Zhong took the initiative to speak at this time, which relieved the tension in Bai Junwan's heart. She calmed down her chaotic thoughts and replied with a forced smile: "My lord, this book, which Xila's father brought from Europe, Sheila knows that I like to read, so she asked her father to give it to me as a gift, the words on it are in Latin, and I have studied with Sheila and Father John for a while, so I can barely understand it.”

Hearing that Bai Junwan even knew Latin, Zhou Zhong immediately praised: "Junwan, you are really amazing, you can even learn such complicated Latin. You can even read it. I can't compare to you in this! "

What Zhou Zhong said was the truth. Latin was also known to be complicated in later generations. Even a celebrity in Europe once said that if all Romans had to learn Latin, they would have no time to conquer the world.From this we can see that Latin is difficult to learn.Thinking about future generations, Zhou Zhong himself could not even learn English.Let alone Latin.

Hearing Zhou Zhong's praise, Bai Junwan felt happy for some reason, she lowered her head and said humbly: "My lord is knowledgeable and talented, but the little girl has only learned some barbaric Chinese, how can I compare with my lord?"

"Hahaha~, my lord is indeed very knowledgeable and talented. There is really nothing in this world that I don't know!" Zhou Zhong did not have the slightest humility when he heard Bai Junwan's words.On the contrary, he spoke very conceitedly, compared to people of this era.He has hundreds of years of knowledge, especially the knowledge explosion of later generations. The wide range of knowledge he has come into contact with in just over 20 years can definitely be called the first in the era of Ming Dynasty.

However, Bai Junwan pursed her lips and smiled at Zhou Zhong's ignorant words, obviously thinking that he was talking big. After all, she herself is a learned woman, but the more books she reads and the more she knows, the more she becomes. I feel that what I know is too insignificant for the world.

Zhou Zhong also noticed the expression on Bai Junwan's face, and he was not in a hurry to defend himself, but asked again: "Junwan, whose book are you reading, and what is the title of the book?"

"My lord, this book was written by a man named Aristotle in ancient Europe. Sheila translated it as "Philosophy of Nature". It mainly talks about the principles of how everything works, so I think it is better to call it "Physics", the principles expounded in the book of physics are very wonderful. It is the first time that I discovered that there are countless great principles everywhere around us. This may be the same as the "Tao" mentioned by Taoism, which is almost everywhere. , but it is difficult for us to notice it." When talking about the contents of the book, Bai Junwan immediately lifted her spirits, and her two beautiful eyes were full of light of wisdom.

"Hahahaha~, whose book do I think it is? It turned out to be Aristotle. He is indeed a great person. He is not only a great philosopher, scientist and educator in ancient Greece, but also the founder of European ethics. Moreover, this man is almost an all-rounder, whether it is astronomy, geography or historical arithmetic, he has extraordinary attainments, and even Europeans are still studying his works." Zhou Zhong laughed and said at this time, although he is not He is a person who likes to show off, but just now he was looked down upon by a beautiful woman like Bai Junwan, which made him a little bit unbearable, so he was going to show off his knowledge.

Hearing Zhou Zhong's long speech, Bai Junwan's eyes widened in surprise, with an expression of disbelief on her face, and after a while, she heard her say: "Master, you...you really know that Aris Dodd?"

"Hey, I not only know Aristotle, but also know that his teacher is named Plato, and Plato's teacher is named Socrates. These three are the most famous philosophers in ancient Greece, and they are called ancient Greeks by Europeans. The three philosophers, in addition, Aristotle also had a student named Alexander, who later led the army to lay down a huge Alexander Empire, spanning Asia, Europe and Africa, but Alexander was young He just died, and the entire empire died immediately after his death, but even so, Alexander is still a figure comparable to Genghis Khan of the Mongols!" Zhou Zhong said again.

Others may not know about Zhou Zhong, but Aristotle is known to almost everyone in later generations, so Zhou Zhong came almost with his mouth open.Before that, Bai Junwan suspected that Zhou Zhong was fabricating a lie to show his erudition. After all, she also knew very little about Aristotle, so it was impossible to expose him.But then she heard that Zhou Zhong knew so much about the people of Aristotle's line, and the introduction was so detailed that it was impossible to make it up on the spur of the moment, which made her believe that what Zhou Zhong said was true.

Seeing Bai Junwan's cute face with her mouth covered and her eyes wide open, Zhou Zhong smiled complacently, and then added more strength: "Although Aristotle is great, after all, he is nearly 2000 years old. Therefore, some theories in his book are inevitably a bit outdated, or even wrong, so Junwan, you must have your own thinking when reading the book, and don't completely believe the content in the book!"

Originally, Bai Junwan had already convinced Zhou Zhong, but maybe it was Zhou Zhong's tone of lesson that made Bai Junwan feel rebellious, so she said a little unconvinced at this time: "My lord, little girl read In this physics book, I feel that what is said in the book is very reasonable, and I have not found any mistakes!"

Seeing that Bai Junwan was still not convinced, Zhou Zhong said with a smile: "It seems that you are still too careless, Junwan, let me ask you, has this physics book explained such a truth, that is, when an object moves from When falling from a high altitude, its falling speed is proportional to its weight, that is, the heavier the object, the faster the falling speed of the object?"

Hearing that Zhou Zhong uttered the contents of the book at once, Bai Junwan was even more shocked, she was stunned for a while before she came to her senses and said: "Yes, there is indeed such an exposition in the book, and it is also very obvious When an object falls from the sky, naturally the heavier the object, the faster it will go, so is there anything wrong with that?"

"Of course there is a mistake, and it is still a big mistake!" Zhou Zhong knew that Bai Junwan would be fooled. Although this simple physical principle was known to everyone in later generations, in the age of Daming, when technology and education were underdeveloped, many people will make the same mistake as Aristotle.

"Let me tell you, if the factor of resistance is removed, when two objects of different weights are dropped at the same height, they will not land one after the other, but at the same time. If you don't believe me, we can do it now Experiment!" Zhou Zhong said confidently, using such a simple physical principle to subvert the cognition of the ancients is really a very cool thing.

"I don't believe it!" Bai Junwan's temperament is usually very gentle, and sometimes she even acts very uninhibited, but in fact these are just appearances. This stubbornness, or persistence and assertiveness, allowed her to flee all the way to Shuangyu Port with her sister and daughter. If it were any other woman, she might have already fallen into the hands of Zhang Rui. .

Seeing that Bai Junwan was so stubborn, Zhou Zhong stopped talking nonsense, turned around and went out of the pavilion to find two large and small stones in the garden, and then asked Bai Junwan to go with him to a small rockery in the garden. It's only about a foot high, but it's enough for experiments.

But just when Zhou Zhong and Bai Junwan had just climbed up the rockery, they caught the attention of the three of them. They stopped swinging and ran to the bottom of the rockery quickly. Zhuo'er even raised her head and asked: "Brother, what are you and sister Junwan doing on the rockery?"

Seeing Zhuo'er and the others also came, Zhou Zhong smiled and said, "Hua'er, you came at a good time, now let's do an interesting experiment!" (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome You come to vote for recommendation votes, monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation.)
