Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

The popularization of scientific knowledge has begun.

Scholars have been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood. Although traditional culture mostly focuses on Xin Xue (Neo-Confucianism), it is quite limited in its exploration of human nature and institutions.

Their understanding of the natural world also has its own unique system, although it will eventually lead to discussions about human nature and the general trend of the world.

They may not understand things like Dongjiao University, but they don't take it seriously.

The classics passed down for thousands of years already encompass everything. All the knowledge of later generations is just picking up the leftovers of others; the ancients had already seen it all.

With this attitude, the crowd began the first class with a hint of contempt in their expressions.

They were fine not listening, but once they listened, they were dumbfounded.

Mo Xiaohu's initial lectures naturally started from simple to difficult, beginning with an overview.

From the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, to chemical changes, the world is full of various forces, two iron balls falling at the same time...

These things were like Arabian Nights tales to these scholars immersed in traditional education.

They didn't learn how to interact with people, how to control people, how to cultivate their minds and character, or how to manage their families and govern the country!

It was all about studying the principles of nature... purely technical work.

It was very different from the heresies they had imagined.

And when Mo Xiaohu and a group of teachers brought out teaching tools to start the class, the situation changed again.

The physics teacher specially brought a set of pulley blocks and started letting the scholars attending the class take turns to experience it on stage.

Many people were very interested and temporarily put aside their contempt, eagerly stepping forward to try.

Usually, everyone hides in their studies or composes poems with others outside, and they have no contact with these things at all.

They simply didn't believe that a few wheels could save a lot of effort.

It wasn't until they went up and tried it themselves that they had to admit that this thing was indeed something!

The big stone that two people couldn't move at all could actually save a considerable amount of effort through such a simple structure!

The basic physics lecture had already taken an hour, and then the chemistry teacher began to appear.

He took out a bunch of experimental glassware and began to explain acid-base experiments, combustion experiments, and also showed mineral analysis.

Heating, grinding, dissolving, and other methods began to appear one by one, and naturally, the scholars personally joined in the experiments.

After only two lessons, many people's curiosity had been greatly aroused.

By noon, no one felt hungry, but instead listened attentively to the lecture.

Although they couldn't understand what use this thing was for the time being, it didn't seem to conflict with the learning of the sages... and it was quite fun to say the least.

It was as if they had opened the door to a new world!

After a day, until the end of the subject selection, most people actually had a feeling of unfinished business.

Even Zhou Maoxue, who had always been somewhat hostile to Fang Zheng Yi, had to admit it.

He really opened his eyes today!

Fang Zheng Yi was also quite surprised.

According to the experience of Dongjiao University, the most people choose to study physics and civil engineering, because this thing can make money quickly after graduation, after all, related talents are scarce.

However, the scholars in the academy were surprisingly interested in biology.

The structure of the human body, the precise composition of bones and blood vessels, and the fact that insects breathe with their butts, etc., all made the crowd exclaim wonderfully.

Until the microscope was displayed on the spot, this curiosity was pushed to the top.

Many people squeezed forward to see what plant and animal cells looked like.

After taking turns to look at it, someone finally asked the age-old question.

What does that liquid that is one drop is worth ten drops look like under a microscope.....

As soon as this deafening question was raised, everyone's attention immediately went astray.

In order to achieve excellent teaching results, Fang Zheng Yi immediately sent someone to urgently search for wonderful liquids.

Fortunately, when he rented the mansion, the owner thoughtfully left the gatekeeper's big black dog, and it happened to be a male!

The Jinyiwei, disguised as servants, caught the black dog on the spot, twisted it to the corner, forcibly squeezed out dog juice, and squeezed out a bottle cap of the amount for teaching.

Seeing the tadpoles swimming in the indescribable liquid with bloodshot eyes, the scholars were shocked...

It turned out that they were not puppies, but tadpoles, and so many!

Then why are there only a few cubs?

Everyone whispered and speculated enthusiastically.

Perhaps these tadpole-shaped puppies are fiercely competitive, tearing and devouring each other in a way similar to raising Gu, and the ones that are born in the end are the strongest.

Or maybe the survivors are better at swimming. Don't all dogs know how to swim? Most of those with poor swimming skills are drowned halfway.

Countless scholars opened their minds, and Fang Zheng Yi was sweating profusely...

The results of the first day can be said to be a great success, all within Fang Zheng Yi's expectations.

The second day was even smoother. The scholars studied independently according to the subjects they had chosen the day before.

The class was mainly based on experiments, with occasional questions and answers. After class, homework was left, and students in the same major exchanged and studied, and the homework was handed in the next day and scored by the teacher.

Fang Zheng Yi also specially made a huge sign with the words "Hundred Talents List" written on it, in the name of promoting learning progress, and the list was displayed daily according to the teacher's scores.

Originally, these scholars had been studying since elementary school, and their learning habits were extremely good. In addition, as soon as the list came out, they immediately couldn't hold back and began to study overtime.

No matter how good or bad they are at learning, as long as they see this list, the sense of competition makes people instinctively want to get on it.

Even a scumbag who has never been on the list in school can get excited and wet his pants when he sees Long Aotian competing for various awesome lists in online novels.

Even a bottom-ranked online novelist, seeing the website doing activity rankings, wants to try it even if he is overestimating himself and drooling.

Not to mention these scholars who have been killed from thousands of troops, each of them can be regarded as the pride of heaven in the local area.

Moreover, this time the imperial examination has failed, and now a group of failed students are gathered together. If I can't get on the list, then will I still have the face?

In the past few days, the group has been immersed in a fanatical learning atmosphere.

Everyone is saving energy... comrades have faintly begun to transform into competitors.

Until midnight, the mansion is still brightly lit, and the figures of scholars can be seen everywhere, and the sound of discussions can be heard everywhere.

"When the sun shines on the earth, is it a curve or a straight line?"

"The height of the sky, the breadth of the earth, the sunlight shines on the earth, it should be detailed and clear, either curved or straight, how can it be curved and not straight, how can it be straight and not curved? If based on the principles of heaven and earth..."

"Brother Liu, if a heavy object falls, if an instant is one second, the speed before landing is about three feet per second, and the height of the fall is ten feet, then find its kinetic energy when it lands..."

Fang Zheng Yi and Li Yuanzhao walked slowly, looking around with their hands behind their backs.

Li Yuanzhao whispered: "Lao Fang, I think they have forgotten why they came here. It should be over in two days, right? I don't think they can cause trouble anymore in this situation."

Fang Zheng Yi was about to reply when he suddenly saw a sneaky figure shaking in the corner, and his face changed drastically, and he scolded: "Don't masturbate next to the microscope! The teaching aids are all borrowed, how can you let others use them!"

Li Yuanzhao: "......"
