Datang: It's a showdown, my son-in-law is going to rebel!

Chapter 145
"You really want to draw a map of the whole world?"

Fang Qi looked at Li Tai, and said: "If this happens, you probably won't be able to complete this matter in your whole life. I have a quicker way to make your name last forever."

"Ok?"

After hearing Fang Qi's words, Li Tai was taken aback for a moment.

Is there a faster way to do this?

"What's a quicker way?"

Li Tai asked Fang Qi: "Is there a quick way to draw a map of the world?"

"It's not that you can draw a map of the world quickly, but that you can make your name famous throughout the ages faster."

Fang Qi said to Li Tai: "If you want to draw a map of the world, it will probably take decades, but if you use another method, it will only take a few years."

"any solution?"

In fact, Li Tai didn't have much interest in drawing a map of the world. His main purpose was actually to leave a name in history.

If it weren't for leaving a name in history, he would not be willing to do these things.

"Prove that the earth under our feet is spherical."

Fang Qi looked at Li Tai, and then said: "As long as you can prove this, you can be famous in history."

"???"

Li Tai looked at Fang Qi with a dazed expression.

What?
The earth under our feet is spherical?
"how can that be?"

Li Tai looked at Fang Qi, and said, "This is impossible! If we can stand on the ground, wouldn't the people below fall down?"

"..."

Fang Qi looked at Li Tai, and said, "Is the lesson I taught you for nothing? As early as in the Imperial College, I taught all of you a lesson. The earth has gravity. Everything will be firmly attracted to the ground, do you understand? It’s like a magnet!”

After hearing Fang Qi's words, Li Tai was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Does this have something to do with the fact that the earth is round?"

"..."

After Fang Qi heard Li Tai's rhetorical question, he immediately didn't know what to say, and replied directly: "Do you want to prove this simplest thing? Start from Datang, go west all the way, and then return from the east In Datang, this can prove that the earth is spherical."

"Why face west? Can't it face east?"

Li Tai raised his bar and said, "Also, can't you face south? Can't you face north?"

"..."

Fang Qi looked at Li Tai, and then said: "I don't want to talk to you anymore, I don't care if you face east or west, but if you face south or north, when you set off, I will ask Father to prepare The seats are set."

"what do you mean?"

Li Tai looked at Fang Qi with a puzzled expression.

"What do you mean?"

Fang Qi looked at Li Tai and said, "What else do you mean? It means that you can't come back, let the emperor set up a banquet, and then we will have a banquet."

"..."

Now Li Tai doesn't know what to say, dinner?
Don't believe me so much?

"Why can't I come back?"

Li Tai looked at Fang Qi, and said, "Didn't you say that the earth under our feet is spherical? Since it is spherical, is there a difference between north-south and east-west?"

"Although the ground under our feet is spherical, it is constantly rotating from west to east."

Fang Qi said to Li Tai: "If you face south or north all the way, when you reach the southernmost point, you will find that you are north in all directions, and when you come to the northernmost point, your all directions are It's all Nan, can you come back at that time?"

"..."

After Li Tai heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded.

what does it mean?

What does it mean to be south in all directions at the northernmost point?

Is this impossible?
How could it be south in all directions?
This is completely impossible, right?

"Aren't you lying to me?"

Li Tai looked at Fang Qi, and said, "How can there be Nan in all directions?"

Fang Qi looked at Li Tai, then picked up a pen, drew an overhead view of a ball on the ground, and then said to Li Tai: "If you stand here, tell me, which direction is east and which direction is west? "

The moment Li Tai got the map, he was dumbfounded.

Where is East?
Where is West?
What do you think?

This is completely indistinguishable, okay?
"understand?"

Fang Qi looked at Li Tai, and said, "So, you have to face east or west, so that you can go around in a circle!"

"I still don't believe the earth is a sphere."

Li Tai looked at Fang Qi, and said, "If it's spherical, why don't I feel it? You said that the earth keeps turning from west to east, why don't I feel it?"

"I won't tell you this anymore. If you can find a person who has been sailing on the sea all year round, you can ask him what he sees first when there is a boat coming from a distance."

Fang Qi said to Li Tai: "I'm telling you these things now. You don't believe anything. You'd better wait for you to verify it, and you will have a clear understanding. At that time, I don't need to explain anything. .”

Fang Qi didn't want to talk to Li Tai immediately.

These things can refresh his world view, so he can't accept it for a while, that's for sure.

Just like in later generations, in order to prove that the earth is round and the heliocentric theory, how many people were burned to death as heretics?
After Li Tai watched Fang Qi leave, he thought a lot, and finally he decided to go to sea to see the world, whether it was really what Fang Qi said.

Because as long as he proves all of this, he can really be famous forever.

No matter what, he's going to do some big things.

He absolutely cannot be compared to Li Chengqian and Li Ke, he cannot bear such a thing.

After thinking it over, Li Tai went directly to the palace, wanting to talk to Li Shimin about it.

When he came to the palace, Li Shimin happened to be discussing the address of the new palace with Yuan Tiangang.

Yuan Tiangang dragged on for several days, and finally arrived at the palace with a lot of younger brothers. These younger brothers were all wearing seven-star Taoist robes, with a compass in one hand and floating dust in the other, which made Li Shimin stunned for a while.

In the end, Li Shimin didn't know what Yuan Tiangang was talking about. He only knew that the place Yuan Tiangang had chosen was very good.

In the end, Li Shimin heard the confusion, and said: "Okay, I understand, next, you pick an auspicious day and let Fang Qi start work."

Yuan Tiangang left, at this time Li Tai came to the imperial study, and said to Li Shimin: "Father, my son wants to do a big thing, and I hope my father will approve it."

"whats the matter?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Tai suspiciously.

Li Tai said: "I want to know what the shape of the land under my feet is!"

"???"
