Chapter 46 Chen Gong: Inspirational to become a great physicist!
"It's amazing, it's really amazing, I didn't expect the heat generated by burning candles to have such a magical effect!"

Since Chen Gong got the fairy book, he disguised himself as a Taoist priest and came all the way to Xuzhou.Hiding in Langya County, Xuzhou, he began to study physics books. There were too many things on which he could not understand, so he could only read the ones he could understand.

For example, why it rains in the sky, why you see lightning and then hear the sound when there is thunder, how rainbows are formed, etc. are all explained in this book, and Chen Gong is mesmerized after reading it!

Even the book records that the land under their feet turned out to be a sphere!There are also things like how far the sun is from them, and the speed of light, etc., which subvert Chen Gong's three views inconceivably.

This book directly crushed Chen Gong's three views and then reassembled them. I, Chen Gong, have no interest in fighting for kingship. Now I just want to be a physicist!
"Sir, sir, what are you doing?" At this moment, a small head poked out from the door, a little boy shouted at Chen Gong.

"Oh, it's you, little Kongming, run to me if you've finished your homework, be careful when your uncle knows you're running around and spanks you." Chen Gong replied to the little boy.

This person's name is Zhuge Liang, and he is the second child of Zhuge's family, a prominent family in Langya County, Xuzhou. He is a nine-year-old child whom Chen Gong met by accident when he first moved to Langya, Xuzhou.

Originally, Chen Gong just planned to chat with him, so as to save himself from being bored studying the heavenly scriptures by himself, but once when Chen Gong chatted with Zhuge Liang about the content of the heavenly scriptures, Zhuge Liang could not only understand, but also draw inferences from one instance, such a smart child, he is unheard of.

From then on, Chen Gong looked at Zhuge Liang with admiration, and chatted with him about the contents of the book when he had something to do. Zhuge Liang was also deeply attracted by what Chen Gong said, and ran to Chen Gong when he had nothing to do.

"Those master's classes are not interesting here." Zhuge Liang replied disapprovingly. Ever since Chen Gong made a rainbow with water last time, Zhuge Liang often skipped class and went to Chen Gong's place.

Chen Gong couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, because this little guy skipped class again.

"No one found out."

"Don't worry, sir, no one knows I'm here." Zhuge Liang replied reassuringly.

This is the agreement he made with Chen Gong, and no one should know that he came to Chen Gong.

"Okay, come in, I just want to conduct an experiment!" Chen Gong asked Zhuge Liang who was still standing at the door to come in.

"Come here sir, what experiment are you doing this time!" After receiving Chen Gong's instructions, Zhuge Liang ran in impatiently, and looked at Chen Gong with curious eyes. The last time Chen Gong made a rainbow with water, Zhuge Liang could see I was stunned, I don't know what interesting experiment this time is.

"This time we will make something that can fly into the sky." Chen Gong replied mysteriously.

"Sir, are you giving me a pair of bird wings?"

Hearing Feitian, Zhuge Liang became excited instantly.

Fly!
This is Feitian, what many people dream of!
If he could do it, wouldn't he be flying like a bird.

"Hehe, no, what we made this time can't take people flying."

Hearing Chen Gong's words, Zhuge Liang looked a little disappointed, but he still held his chin and looked curiously at Chen Gong who started to work.

Chen Gong cut a few pieces of black cloth and glued them together with some branches he had prepared to form a lampshade.

Later, Chen Gong glued a cross base on the bottom of the lampshade again, and then placed a small vessel on the base, which contained wax oil, and then rubbed out a wick and inserted it into the wax oil.

"Okay!" Chen Gong clapped his hands in satisfaction looking at the lampshade he made.

"What are you doing to make the lampshade, sir? Can this thing fly?" Zhuge Liang looked at the lampshade made by Chen Gong and thought to himself, he had this thing in his house, but he didn't see that it could fly. Zhuge Liang was skeptical that the lampshade could fly.

"Sir, can this thing fly?" Zhuge Liang asked curiously.

"Hmm~ It should be ok." Chen Gong looked at the lampshade in front of him and replied uncertainly.

If I did nothing wrong, it should be able to fly.

As he spoke, Chen Gong took out the firebox and lit the candles.

The candle at the base of the lampshade started to burn, and Chen Gong carefully held the bottom of the lampshade, waiting for him to fly up.

Zhuge Liang looked at the lampshade curiously with wide eyes, waiting for it to fly, but after a few minutes, the lampshade showed no sign of flying up.

An hour later.

"Sir, the wax has burned out." Zhuge Liang reminded Chen Gong when he saw that the candle at the base of the lampshade had burned out, but the lampshade still did not fly up.

"It shouldn't be, the book says that the heat brought by combustion has a certain buoyancy!" Chen Gong stroked his beard and recalled the content recorded in the heavenly book, looking for what he did wrong.

"Sir, could it be because these cloth pieces didn't retain the heat!" Zhuge Liang guessed looking at the lampshade made of cloth in front of him.

When Chen Gong heard it, his eyes lit up. That's right, the tiny holes in the cloth can't block the heat generated by the burning candle.That's why the lampshade can't fly.

"Hahaha, Kong Ming, I'm not as good as you!" Chen Gong laughed loudly, he even forgot about such a big negligence, yet a child noticed it.

"Do you have any other good suggestions?" Chen Gong continued to ask, this child is really smart.

"Sir, I think we can use some paper to make the walls and top of the lampshade, and the brackets can use reeds, so that the weight of the lampshade produced should be the lightest." Zhuge Liang continued.

"Hahaha. Kong Mingru is a child prodigy!"

After saying that, Chen Gong went back to the room to get some yellow paper, while Zhuge Liang ran out to find a reed for Chen Gong.

It didn't take long for Zhuge Liang to run back with a few reeds in his arms.

Now everything is ready and only owes the east wind.

Chen Gong started to make the four walls and the top of the lampshade again out of yellow paper, and used reeds as supports.

After the first experience, the new shade was quickly recreated.

Chen Gong lit the wax wick again, carefully lifted the bottom of the lampshade again, and waited for it to fly.

Candles burning inside can be clearly seen through the yellow paper.

Not long after, the lampshade in Chen Gong's hand began to tremble slightly, with a feeling of floating upwards.

"It's moving, it's moving!" Zhuge Liang exclaimed when he saw the slightly trembling lampshade.

But Chen Gong didn't dare to take a breath, his eyes fixed on the lampshade, afraid that he would ruin this experiment with some action.

As time went by, the heat from the burning candle gathered in the lampshade, and the lampshade began to gradually float up, leaving Chen Gong's hands and floating towards the sky at a faster and faster speed.

But Chen Gong and Zhuge Liang were dumbfounded when they saw the lampshade flying into the sky. They really made something that could fly into the sky!

"Sir, have we succeeded?" Looking at the lampshade fluttering in the wind and disappearing into the sky, Zhuge Liang still hadn't recovered, and asked Chen Gong blankly.

"Yes, we succeeded!"

"Kong Ming, we succeeded!" Chen Gong shouted excitedly.

Looking at the lampshade disappearing into the sky, Chen Gong felt refreshed like never before. It's really cool to do such a miracle!
Physics is really a divine book. He and Kong Ming easily achieved the flying sky that the predecessors could not do. Since the heat can drive the lampshade into the sky, is there enough heat to lift people up!
A bold idea emerged from Chen Gong's mind.
