Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

Prince Wu continued speaking calmly, "The ground beneath our feet is indeed a sphere."

"The sun and moon rotate around this world in turn, which is why we have sunrise and sunset."

Fang Zheng, upon hearing this, was completely relieved.

The geocentric theory is obviously wrong!

It's the same in any world! This world is not much different from my previous life. The Sun's mass in Great Jing must be larger than that of Earth.

However, even so, Fang Zheng still felt shocked.

This Prince Wu is clearly a genius!

He's even come up with the geocentric theory!

This is the first time he's heard of the geocentric theory in Great Jing.

In fact, people's understanding of the world is varied. When he first transmigrated, he asked this question everywhere.

Some people think the world is square, some think it's a sphere, and some even think it's a flat plane.

However, according to his understanding, among all scholars, the idea of a round sky and a square earth is the mainstream opinion!

And very few people refute or discuss this matter.

This Prince Wu has a pretty awesome way of thinking, clearly someone who does scientific research.

Fang Zheng saw Prince Wu looking at him and nodded, "Then how would Your Highness prove that the ground beneath our feet is round?"

Prince Wu pointed to the telescope: "Because the moon is round, and the sun is also round."

"This Prince originally thought that the moon hanging high in the sky, like a star, was just a slightly larger point of light, but that's not the case."

"After observation, the moon is just extremely far away, but not small at all."

"Calculated in this way, many stars should also be not small, just further away."

"If one were to stand on the moon and look at the ground beneath our feet, it should also be a sphere."

Fang Zheng thought carefully.

The argument is very rough, but it's already quite an achievement to have thought this far.

Prince Wu paced back and forth, turning to look at Zhang Biao, a hint of disdain in his eyes: "Do you understand?"

Zhang Biao didn't care about this kind of boring question at all.

He just felt that this Prince Wu was abnormal and said, "I understand, but the earth is square."

That's right!

Li Yuanzhao cast an admiring glance.

Prince Wu just smiled and shook his head, sighing: "In fact, ignorance is a sin. When you discover the truth, you will hate your own stupidity."

Saying that, he picked up the grapes on the table.

"What the world is like is just like these grapes."

"What it tastes like, you only know when you taste it yourself, otherwise, the more you think about it, the further you get from the truth."

As soon as these words came out, Fang Zheng was immediately shocked!

Prince Wu being able to come up with the geocentric theory can be said to be based on his imagination.

But Prince Wu being able to say these words clearly shows that his thinking logic is rigorous, so would such a person believe in elixirs and immortality?

Obviously not!

Then that means this guy poisoned his own father!

However, a person's mind and way of thinking are not solidified in a day.

What kind of person Prince Wu is, there is still no way to judge now.

But Fang Zheng has already put the label of a bad person on him in advance.

Li Yuanzhao was still carefree and asked: "Royal Uncle! You're wrong!"

"If it's as you say, wouldn't everything on the other side of this world fall off?"

Fang Zheng suddenly felt a little ashamed.

He, as a teacher, had failed to instill common sense in his student, it was really a failure!

Running here to embarrass myself.

But it's not a big problem, it's enough for the Crown Prince to have love!

He was also very curious about how Prince Wu would answer this question.

He saw Prince Wu still looking calm: "That's right, this Prince didn't understand this question before either."

"But a play performed in Banshan Workshop gave this Prince a sudden flash of insight."

Fang Zheng quickly asked: "Which play is Your Highness talking about?"

"The Trial of Galileo."

"........"

Prince Wu spoke eloquently: "After watching that play, this Prince couldn't forget it for a long time. Although that play was very difficult to watch, there were many interesting things in it."

"Why two iron balls land at the same time, this Prince didn't understand."

"But I thought of another question, why do iron balls fall to the ground?"

Fang Zheng was already in a mess.

What the hell!? You think so much after watching a play!

If Newton knew, wouldn't he have to open the coffin lid and have a drink with you!?

"This Prince thinks there is only one possibility, that the ground beneath our feet is actually a huge magnet, and people are adsorbed on the earth."

After saying that, he threw the grapes on the ground and bounced them twice.

Li Yuanzhao looked suspiciously at the grapes on the ground, and asked doubtfully: "That's right! Why do things fall down and not float up? I really haven't thought about it!"

"Why do you say so? Zhang Biao."

"Because it should fall down."

"I see."

Brother Biao's brain can't think about such complex questions, and he doesn't bother to think about such boring questions.

Obviously, his realm is many levels higher than Prince Wu!

Prince Wu was too lazy to look at these two simple-minded guys.

He turned to Fang Zheng and said, "Do you understand?"

Fang Zheng couldn't help but admire: "I understand, Your Highness is very talented!"

He understood what he was saying, but basically nothing was correct.

But being able to say these things is already very remarkable.

Prince Wu smiled gratifiedly, his eyes full of appreciation when he looked at Fang Zheng: "As expected of you, quick-witted. This Prince knew you would understand."

Li Yuanzhao looked at Prince Wu with dissatisfaction.

He now understood why Prince Wu was unpopular.

Saying some inexplicable things, did he think this prince was the same as the idiots outside!?

Just as the few people were talking, Steward Chen walked up to them and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, the banquet is ready."

Prince Wu waved his sleeves: "I didn't expect His Highness to come today. It just so happens that His Highness can taste the dishes in the mansion and see if they suit your taste."

Afterwards, the few people took their seats and began to talk.

The topics of conversation were just ordinary topics, nothing special.

Prince Wu's speech speed was always unhurried, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze.

Fang Zheng felt awkward in his heart, but he still greeted him with a smile.

Until Li Yuanzhao got up to go to the restroom.

Prince Wu looked at Fang Zheng and changed the topic: "Sir Fang, I didn't know the Crown Prince would come today, so some things are not easy to say."

"Please feel free to speak, I will tell you everything I know."

Prince Wu pondered for a moment: "It's embarrassing to say, although you and I have never met, and this Prince has never been to Peach Blossom County, but according to the reports from the servants, Peach Blossom County is managed very well, and this Prince is very admired."

"Seeing you today, you are indeed extraordinary."

Extraordinary? We've only said a few words, and you can tell?

The flattery level of a science and engineering man is not good!

Fang Zheng responded with a smile: "Your Highness is too kind, I have only made a little achievement."

"No need to be humble! Thanks to you, this Prince has made a lot of money. Now this Prince wants to talk to you about another business!"

"Please speak, Your Highness."

"This Prince heard that Peach Blossom County has recently released a new monkey wine, which is brewed by monkeys."

"After tasting it, this Prince also feels that it is full of fruity aroma and very unique. I wonder if it is possible to sign an exclusive contract like the Peach Blossom Fan Wine."

"This wine will be sold exclusively by my people in the future."
