The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 93 Teaching Zhuge Liang a Lesson

Sun Shao smiled and was not polite, quickly drew a sketch on the silk, and then pushed it in front of Zhuge Liang and his wife: "General, madam, look, this line indicates the junction of water and void, this line indicates Light. Light is the principle of moving forward in a straight line. It has been said in the Mojing that the two of you are proficient in the art of mechanism, so you must be able to understand it."

Zhuge Liang and his wife nodded in unison, and they could indeed understand this.

"When light passes through this surface, it will change." Sun Shao had a better understanding of their understanding, and then said: "When light passes through the interface of different substances, it will change direction. This is the emission in water. The hairpin looks like it's broken. This principle, combined with the fact that the light travels in a straight line, is the reason why the water droplets can make the hair look thicker."

This is a bit difficult for Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying.They looked at Sun Shao and looked at each other, and they all felt a little unbelievable. The refraction of light is unimaginable, but after all, they saw it with their own eyes and could barely accept it. However, water droplets can make hair thicker, but it is not just based on imagination. It is understandable.

Seeing that they didn't understand, Sun Shao drew an oblate circle on the silk, and then drew two lines: "The reason why the glass beads can gather fire is because the light changes direction twice before and after passing through the glass beads. Originally irrelevant light gathers into one point, so it can make a fire. Water droplets are similar to glass beads, but they do the opposite. The light changes, but the eyes can't feel it, so it will produce wrong feelings. I thought I saw something bigger."

Sun Shao was talking and drawing, and he talked a lot. He tried his best to use the language they could understand, and explained from time to time. His forehead was sweating, so Zhuge Liang nodded: "So it seems to make sense."

Sun Shao is very discouraged, my throat is about to smoke, but you just seem to have some reason?He looked disappointedly at Zhuge Liang who was still pondering, then at Huang Yueying who was smiling and silent, and sighed secretly. Huang Yueying seemed to be smarter than Zhuge Liang. Say nothing.Good daughter-in-law.

Zhuge Liang twisted his beard and looked at Sun Shao intently: "If according to what the captain said, light will turn when it passes two different objects, then water and oil are not the same, can it also change?"

Sun Shao was taken aback for a moment, and then he was very emotional, this student is too smart, he can draw inferences from one instance.He smiled confidently: "Why didn't the general try it on the spot?"

The results of the experiment left Zhuge Liang dumbfounded and convinced.The correct theory can not only explain the existing things, but also can be used to speculate on the unknown things, and get another verification.The result in front of him clearly and completely proved that although the reason Sun Shao said was bizarre, it was correct.

If it was said that Zhuge Liang was perfunctory when Sun Shao wanted to talk to Zhuge Liang about the way of heaven, but now he no longer has such thoughts. He feels that at least on some issues, Sun Shao does have extraordinary insight.

"Wearing the words of the gentleman, it makes people open their mouths." Zhuge Liang patted his thigh lightly and said with emotion, his eyes were still fixed on the bamboo chopsticks that seemed to be folded into three sections.

"Where, where. A little path, nothing to worry about." Sun Shao returned the salute modestly, and said sincerely: "Shao Sheng is also lucky. He looks after his father's shadow, takes care of his uncle, and has no worries about food and clothing. Only then can he watch the world quietly. With a little income, the general is busy with official duties, but he has such accomplishments, which really makes Shao feel ashamed. A good couple has extraordinary understanding, even though they have poor clothing and vegetables, they can sit and talk about Taoism, and life is also very fast."

Zhuge Liang glanced at Huang Yueying and smiled with a heart.Although what Sun Shao said is not entirely true, they appreciate each other, but they are not bad at all.

After this trial, the distance between them narrowed a lot.Zhuge Liang's and his wife's research on mechanism art is not comparable to that of Sun Shao, but Sun Shao's theoretical understanding is also beyond their reach, and after staying with a technical expert like Ge Heng for so long, Sun Shao still has some knowledge of mechanism art. Yes, he understands the same thing much more deeply than Zhuge Liang and his wife, and when he mentions it occasionally, they are amazed and amazed.

Zhuge Liang is good at learning, but he doesn't admire the Confucian classics that the world admires. On the issue of reading scriptures, he is similar to Sun Shao.Except for a few friends in his life, he is not recognized by most people. Even Liu Bei, they just think that he is more diligent in political affairs and excels in calculation skills, but they don't think he is what kind of person. Outstanding, to a certain extent, compared with the dead Pang Tong, he may not be as good as Pang Tong in Liu Bei's mind.He attaches great importance to technology, and in the eyes of others, he is obsessed with small ways, but forgets the teachings of saints, and he is also very disgusted with those Confucian scholars who are prone to saints, such as Xu Jing. Make less knots.Today it is rare to meet a Sun Shao who has a common language with him in technology, and he suddenly feels a bosom friend.The two chatted very happily, until Zhuge Jun came back with wine and meat, they stopped talking.

Huang Yueying, who was also fascinated by listening, realized that it was noon, but her lunch had not been prepared yet, so she quickly pleaded guilty and rushed to the kitchen to make arrangements.Sun Shao didn't mind either, and chatted with Zhuge Liang occasionally.

Zhuge Liang was full of emotion. He was very smart since he was a child, and he didn't bother to be a person who read books by heart. Instead, he read books with a practical mind. What he got from books far surpassed ordinary people.Although there is still some distance between what he learned in the book and the reality, but his distance is much closer, so he can quickly become familiar with government affairs, and become an excellent internal affairs talent in the shortest time, and move towards him. Xiang and Gong are one step closer to the goal of wind music.He feels that he is based on reality, not the illusory Tao in the Confucian classics. He feels that the Tao he has comprehended is superior to human beings.

But today, facing Sun Shao, he found that his confidence was a little shaken.

There are so many truths contained in a drop of water, it has the same effect as the glass beads, and it has such a wonderful connection with the two sentences in the ink scriptures.He thinks that his thinking is subtle, but he has not reached such a level.

"Lieutenant Xiao has seen people, Liang feels ashamed." Zhuge Liang raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Please have a glass of thin wine, and thank you Lieutenant for calling."

Sun Shao hurriedly said a few words modestly: "Don't you dare? You dare. The virtuous couple are extremely wise. If the general is not disturbed by common affairs, how can I have the opportunity to comment on it? The general has the ability to manage politics and has a pragmatic heart. Given time, the merits will be invaluable." If it is limited, it will surely leave a name in history, and it will shine forever. If Sun Shao is lucky, he can be attached to the general's tail and be known to future generations, wouldn't it be great?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and smiled. What Sun Shao said was right in his heart, but he couldn't be too straightforward on his face. He hurriedly said a few words modestly, and seemed to regret saying: "The captain is so young, and he has such a talent. Achievement, how can I dare to look forward to it in the future? I should be the Wei Jiwei of the attached school."

"Hahaha..." Sun Shao laughed loudly, raised his glass and said, "Isn't it a little disgusting for us to say that? Come, General, please drink this cup to the brim."

Seeing that Sun Shao avoided answering, Zhuge Liang was a little regretful, so he had to give up his plan to spy on Sun Shao's mind, and turned to talk about the way of scholarship.Of course, the study they are talking about is not the study of classics, but the natural way they are talking about now.Zhuge Liang always felt that Sun Shao's depth of understanding was somewhat suspicious.It is not that the big man has never produced great scholars who are proficient in the way of nature, such as Zhang Heng, such as Wang Chong, they all have extraordinary insights in the way of nature.But how old were they when they became famous?And how old is Sun Shao?Even if he has been studying these since he was a child, it is impossible to reach such a height.

"It's actually simple." Sun Shao put down his wine glass lightly, thoughtfully, as if he was considering what words to use to express it.

Zhuge Liang held his breath subconsciously. He felt that every word Sun Shao said next would benefit him a lot.

Sun Shao looked deeply at Zhuge Liang who was a bit nervous, and said word by word: "Quietness can produce wisdom."
