Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2504 Scientific research is not affordable for ordinary people

Chen Xi carefully read all the calculation methods and verification methods on the manuscript paper sent by Gan's family, and he didn't know what to say anymore. Although the data from each calculation method will have some discrepancies, they are generally around [-] kilometers.

Seeing that this is data, Chen Xi basically already knows that the Gan family is at most limited by the previous three views and cannot believe this thing, but they have a bottom line in their minds about what they calculated by themselves, and according to these things, there is a ball under their feet. Basically enough to prove it.

The reason why the Gan family is about to split is probably because years of education made it hard for them to accept, but as long as the method and process of the calculations of mathematics are correct, the result will be the same result, which is unreasonable at all!
Chen Xi thought for a while, then nodded to Cai Yan, and Cai Yan's face became bitter for a moment, it was obvious that Cai Yan had calculated, but she couldn't accept it, so she came to Chen Xi.

"Then why can we stand on it? What about them?" Cai Yan was silent for a while and said through a voice transmission, looking at the sky naturally, and then looked at Chen Xi. There was a ball under her feet. There were so many balls that day, you tell me I can Don't think too much?
"Uh, this is a very complicated problem. I know how to calculate it, but I can't figure it out. Wait for others to explain it. Depending on the situation, someone may be able to solve it within a few decades." Chen Xi sighed. He took a deep breath and said with some regret.

"Thank you." Cai Yan was a little silent. Knowing some things for the first time is really shocking, especially for an adult, especially if this kind of thing is calculated by himself.

"You also take a break. If the Molinggan family comes to ask you, you should tell the truth. If they ask why, you can let them go back and study the trajectories and cycles of the stars in the Ganshi Celestial Book, and let them study the inner connection by themselves. "Chen Xi sighed and said, I am afraid that Cai Yan is also very tired, and the three views have been smashed or something.

"I'm going first." Cai Yan got up and shook slightly, probably because of the low blood pressure caused by sleepiness, but she got up steadily and stepped back slightly to bow to Chen Xi before leaving.

After Cai Yan left, Lu Xun, whose head was in a state of confusion, finally realized that he seemed to have heard something that was very inconsistent with what he had learned for many years, so that he pointed at the stack of manuscript paper with trembling fingers and asked, "Master, what are we doing under our feet?" Is the earth a ball?"

"Yes!" Chen Xi said with a sigh. I always feel that after this answer, people will feel very helpless. Thinking that there is only a ball under my feet, and there are countless balls in the sky, so when I look up at the starry sky, it will really rise. A blasphemous thought.

But it’s not right to call it blasphemy. When a mortal realizes that there is a ball under his feet, and there are countless balls in the sky, what he looks up at the starry sky is not only blasphemy, but also a journey.

"Then why does it look so flat?" Lu Xun muttered to himself, still unacceptable, but this is where the unreasonable way of mathematics is. Proof is proof. Experience is confronted with the unscientific final calculation of mathematics. As a result, you can only bow your head.

When Chen Xi heard the words, he couldn't help thinking of a joke, and replied naturally, "Because it's big, it's too big, so it looks flat!"

After dismissing the dizzy Lu Xun, Chen Xi sighed. Hun Tian said that it has been 300 years since Luoxiahong proposed it, and it has been nearly a hundred years since Zhang Heng used it enough to explain most astronomical phenomena. I really never thought about the concept that the ball in Huntian's theory is really the ground under my feet.

Now someone has actually calculated that there is a ball under their feet, and then this group of people will probably ask why they did not fall as a ball. Consume generations.

In order to observe comets, in order to determine the cycle, some families even spent several generations in this area, both because they have a lot of free time, and also because of the extension of family knowledge, just think about someone who can observe in BC Go to Europa and record it, which shows how terrible the nobles who are really interested in a certain thing are.

As an aristocrat who does not need to plan for board and lodging and life, once they are really interested in something, they don't mind spending a lot of youth. Being on the wrong side is actually just a kind of life.

After raising interest research to a part of life, these people will produce things sooner or later. Think about Zhou Shu, Zhou Qun, Zhou Ju, this kind of father loves astronomy, so he starts researching, and after giving birth to a son, he starts to take his son to do research. I gave birth to my grandson and continued to study with my grandson.

This kind of influence, this kind of precepts and deeds, living in this atmosphere, inexplicably feels a little scary, but in this era where there are basically no entertainment programs, if you don’t find something that can interest you, I’m afraid it will be very difficult. boring.

But having said that, in this era, the ones who are really boring are the nobles, the children of the wealthy families, and ordinary people, who are exhausted all day long and have no time or energy at all. This is why those who really left their names in ancient times There are few people who are truly poor.

After all, research requires time, energy, and wealth. Just think about it, the Gan family evaporated nearly [-] million yuan in just half a year for a calculation, and you can know that scientific research is really not something that the poor can afford.

Not long after Cai Yan returned home, the Gan family sent someone to visit Cai Yan. It was obvious that the Gan family was really anxious, otherwise, they shouldn't have done such a rude thing.

Seeing the sleepy-looking man in front of him, Cai Yan sighed, thinking that she probably had the same face in front of Chen Xi before coming here.

"Cai, can you tell me the answer." Gan Yu said with a touch of tiredness. As for Cai Yan's appearance, he didn't even bother to observe it. Wealth is not as important as the answers we want.

"Well, the answer you calculated is correct. There is a ball under our feet." Cai Yan said with emotion. Few men in front of her showed such an expression as if they hadn't seen her, even It's Li You, Jia Xu, etc. who will show some expressions. After all, everyone has a love for beauty, and most people can control it better.

"It's a ball..." Gan Yu's eyes were numb when he heard that, a kind of unnatural fatigue rose from the bottom of his heart, and then his legs went limp, and he fell into the armchair.

Gan Yu participated in the experiment, and even one of the calculation methods was proposed by him, but even if they calculated it themselves, when they really got a definite answer, they couldn't accept it. After all, it was really crushing them The three views.

Cai Yan looked at Gan Yu, who was completely numb, and didn't say anything. He just waited for Gan Yu to wake up, and quickly stabilized his mentality.

"Master Cai, please forgive me. I was so emotional before, it was really hard to accept." Gan Yu stood up and saluted Cai Yan.

"It doesn't have to be like this. I was afraid it wouldn't be much better." Cai Yan didn't care too much about Gan Yu's faux pas. To be precise, it was expected that this kind of thing would happen.

"Master Cai, can you tell me why our earth is a ball and we haven't turned it out yet?" Gan Yu went straight to the point after listening to Cai Yan's words.

"Chen Hou didn't say anything, but the Gan family read their classics about astrology carefully, calculated the trajectory and time cycle, and then thought about why everything we see falls to the ground, but the moon is above our heads." Cai Yan Said plainly, when he said this, Cai Yan even thought about these questions himself, but there was no answer.

"Thank you for your advice, sorry to bother you." Gan Yu was rude to Cai Yan again when he heard the words, and he didn't even intend to stop for tea, so he was about to leave.

In fact, this is not an ordinary faux pas, but Cai Yan is very clear that these people are just like his father Cai Yong, except that Cai Yong pursues music, while this group of people pursues the starry sky, but the essence is not different.

Cai Yan nodded, and ordered the maids who had been by her side to send Gan Yu out, and then went to rest in the boudoir, which took a lot of effort on her part.

On the other side, when Gan Yu returned to the small house in Yecheng where his family lived temporarily, several young people immediately surrounded him. These were the younger generation of the Gan family.

"Let the post station send the draft of our calculation to the Wang family in Lujiang, the Chen family in Jiujiang, and the Zhou family in Brazil. Let the four of us meet." After Gan Yu explained everything he knew, he ordered after everyone came back to their senses. .

In fact, the Gan family also knew that they were right, but they couldn't believe this absurd reality. However, mathematics is unreasonable. Fortunately, there is a way to verify it. Chen Xi's answer, the saying that a god enters a dream, is very scientific and very reasonable. reason!

"Then shall we still accept crystals?" A young man from Gan's family asked.

"No, find a crystal mine and buy it. This method of collecting crystals is not cost-effective. It is cheaper to buy mines, and we need transparent crystals that are as large as possible." Gan Yu said with a sigh, Crystals are expensive, but not too expensive, but it is too difficult for the kind requested by the Gan family.

To be honest, the Gan family was also forced to make astronomical telescopes. Now the glass produced by Chen Xi is not up to the standard. The Gan family was forced to use natural colorless crystals as lenses, and the production difficulty and cost of this thing , under the condition that it is required to be large enough, it is going to drive people crazy. First of all, there are not many large crystals, and then there is a crack, and the color is a problem!

The Gan family knows very well that if it is confirmed that the earth is a ball, then the next research may be why they did not fly out, and the previous verification evaporated a third of the family property, so they must find someone to bear it together, and astrology, Only five of the Central Plains are playing!

　Scientific research, to be honest, burns money and burns a lot...
