I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

The next day, Wu Changqing started working after breakfast. He didn't have any wedding leave.

As a leader of a power, time is never enough.

In many respects, Wu Changqing has actually decentralized power. For example, he hardly interferes in the operation of the administrative system because he has no time.

But some things must be done by Wu Changqing himself and cannot be replaced, such as compiling a textbook for elementary physics.

This job is not easy, his memory is not bad, but he doesn't remember what the junior high school physics book looks like, so he can only write all the knowledge points he knows.

He has been doing this for the past few days. He has already written elementary physics for printing. Now he is compiling elementary geography, and he has left chemistry at the end.

"Msang-gong, what article are you writing? Why don't I understand it. Isn't our world a round sky? How can it be a round ball?"

Chen Yuyan came over to deliver tea and saw what Wu Changqing had written. It's just that she knows all the words above, but she doesn't understand them even when they are connected.

Wu Changqing smiled upon hearing this, and explained: "If you have been to the beach and watched sailing ships going out to sea, you will find that the hull of the ship disappears first, and the mast disappears last. When the sailboat comes back, you will see it first. The mast, and then slowly saw the hull. Only on the spherical arc surface, this possibility will appear."

As Wu Changqing spoke, he also took a simple arc diagram.

With pictures as annotations, it is much easier to understand.

Chen Yuyan was stunned when she heard the words. She had never been to the beach, but she had seen sailing boats in Taihu Lake. Recalling carefully, it seems that this is really the case.

However, she still couldn't accept that the world is the ball.

"However, it is also possible that the sea is actually a convex arc, but the earth is still flat. If our world is a spherical shape, wouldn't the person standing under it fall?"

Chen Yuyan also drew a line with straight lines at both ends and a convex middle.

I'm going. Am I married to a schoolmaster?

Wu Changqing was surprised to find that his wife responded so quickly that she was able to think of a reason for rebuttal so quickly. Although this reason was full of loopholes, it was quite good.

"People go to high places, and water flows to low places. If the sea is raised, then the water will flow from the sea to the river instead of the river to the sea. As for why the person standing under the ball will not fall, The explanation is complicated. I will tell you when I have time."

The concept of universal gravitation is still quite abstract, and it is very difficult for people in this era to suddenly understand and accept it.

Although Wu Changqing wanted to show off in front of the lady, time did not allow.

Chen Yuyan closed her mouth when she heard the words. She knew that her mate was doing a big deal and she couldn't bother.

Although she still has many questions about Wu Changqing's theory, the women's training tells her that she must unconditionally believe in her mate.

Our world is round, how can it be round? How can the person under the ball not fall? But if it is not round, how can one explain the phenomenon of sailing boats?

Chen Yuyan left with doubts, she couldn't help but muttered, almost shocked Zihe. She thought that her own lady was slandered.

The next day, on the day when students were enrolled in the university hall, Wu Changqing and several great scholars who taught classics, policy theory and arithmetic came to the university hall together.

Several Confucian scholars headed by Shen Lianming were a little disdainful of Wu Changqing's plan to open the subject of physical geography, and to impart knowledge personally. But due to Wu Changqing's identity, they dare not show it.

Even in order to get this teacher's job, they have to please Wu Changqing. In the troubled times, these great Confucian scholars who can only recite articles are not easy.

Those who are popular now are those who will lead soldiers to fight, and the status of civil servants has dropped again and again.

In the university hall, there are already more than two hundred scholars who have arrived at this time, ranging in age from fourteen to thirty.

When Wu Changqing and Shen Lianming appeared in front of these scholars, everyone's eyes were on Wu Changqing's body. Most of them saw Wu Changqing for the first time.

Looking at this general who is younger than himself, but holds a heavy hand and masters the fate of countless people, everyone's minds are different.

Some are envious, some are jealous, some are admired, and some are dismissive.

Wu Changqing didn't know the thoughts of these people, so he gave a speech as usual.

"You are all scholars. I don't need to say that knowledge changes destiny. What I want to say today is that knowledge can not only change the destiny of individuals, but also the destiny of this country and the destiny of the world.

For example, without knowledge, you cannot make such advanced weapons, and you cannot win the battle..."

Wu Changqing asked the soldiers to hand over a flintlock, and then demonstrated the operation in public.

This advanced weapon opened their eyes to them.

Then Wu Changqing continued: "Which one of you can make a weapon more advanced than this flintlock, I can directly worship him as the chief of staff, or directly named as a military division, and the ranks below the second grade will be chosen at will, and there will be no less titles. ."

Desire is always the greatest motivation of mankind. Wu Changqing didn't talk too much about the principle, and he just took out the temptation of official rank and title and it was done.

Scholars go through the normal way to study the imperial examination, even if it is a champion, they must start from the sixth grade official, and the second grade Jinshi can only start from the seventh grade magistrate.

It is even more difficult for those below Grade A. Sometimes it may not be necessary to wait for more than ten years to get a real job.

These scholars know the difficulty of taking the second grade exam very well, and that is really one of a million.

And now, Wu Changqing directly called out the official position below the second grade and picked it casually.

Nima, this temptation is definitely greater for these scholars than Qin Huai and Ba Yan collectively stand before him.

All the scholars had hot eyes in their eyes, and they were so excited that they could not go to study the method of making firecrackers now.

Of course, there are also a small number of sober scholars who are very depressed. It is not a problem for them to take the imperial examination, but they have to study and make new styles of firecrackers, which is not their area of ​​expertise.

"How to make this flintlock? You may still be at a loss now. But don't panic, I will teach you the secrets in the next course.

After learning the physics knowledge that I taught, it doesn't matter if I still don't know how to build this weapon. People who have mastered this knowledge are of great use to me. What I can guarantee is that as long as I can pass my assessment, the official position and military power are waiting for you.

Those who do not study this knowledge and fail the assessment will be expelled ruthlessly. "

Wu Changqing's assurance once again made those scholars feel the importance he attaches to this knowledge.

Some people who didn't look down on physical and chemical geography, their concepts have changed a lot at this time, and they have silently made up their minds to learn those knowledge.

As for whether the knowledge is as useful as Wu Changqing said, it is not important at all, everyone is just for an opportunity to become an official.

Just like those classics for imperial examinations, they still don’t use them much when they become officials, but everyone is not desperate to study, is it just to pass the examination and get a chance to become an official?

After Wu Changqing finished speaking, Shen Lianming and other Confucian scholars also said a few words. Their speeches are much more traditional, and they are nothing more than asking everyone to cherish this opportunity to learn and study hard.
