The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

All of a sudden, colleges and universities have received huge investments or donations from businessmen in the industry, requiring them to come up with scientific research results as soon as possible to improve production efficiency and quality.

And Wen Lan, the inventor, also gained both fame and fortune, and gained huge benefits.

He not only became famous, but also got the business shares promised by Jack Ma. With his two major inventions, he calmly collected patent royalties. The annual profit share alone was as high as several million taels, and he became the heart of countless educated young people. idol.

This situation of talents making a fortune also objectively stimulated the enthusiasm of the young people of Ming Dynasty to abandon the decadent imperial examination system and join the scientific boom.

During this year, I dropped out of various private schools, gave up studying the Four Books and Five Classics, and Confucian classics, and instead devoted myself to the preparatory elementary and junior high schools of various science academies, studying mathematics, physics, chemistry, art, and literature, and preparing for the future science college entrance examination. At the pinnacle of life, the number of young people marrying Bai Fumei has greatly increased, causing many old ladies to have a heart attack and be sent to the hospital for treatment...

But Yan Song still believes that this speed is not fast enough.

He must create a little sensation, so that the people of Ming Dynasty will speed up the elimination of superstition and ignorance, and believe in science, equality and democracy even more.

So what experiment can have such a sensational effect?

Or just do the most famous experiment in history?

Two iron balls hit the ground at the same time?

This awesome!

Because of this famous experiment, it had a huge sensational effect on human history, and objectively greatly stimulated the popularization of Western scientific spirit among the people.

Best of all...

The host of this experiment, Galileo, is now in Daming.

He and his good friend Copernicus are now both in the Imperial Academy of Sciences of the Ming Dynasty, serving as the deans of physics and astronomy respectively.

Yan Song did what he said, and immediately invited Galileo from Hangzhou, and stated to him the purpose of doing this experiment.

Galileo was also persecuted by the church and sold into Ming Dynasty as a slave.It was purchased very cheaply by Yan Song for [-] silver, and it is still moving bricks in the Academy of Sciences.

Historically, this Galileo was the great Italian physicist and astronomer, the forerunner of the Scientific Revolution 4.6.In history, he was the first to integrate the knowledge of mathematics, physics and astronomy on the basis of scientific experiments, which expanded, deepened and changed human understanding of the movement of matter and the universe.

In order to prove and disseminate Copernicus' heliocentric theory, Galileo devoted his whole life.As a result, he was persecuted by the church in his later years and imprisoned for life.With systematic experiments and observations, he overthrew the purely speculative traditional view of nature represented by Aristotle, and created a modern science based on experimental facts and with a strict logical system.

Therefore, he is called "the father of modern science".His work laid the foundation for the establishment of Newton's theoretical system.

Galileo himself was unimpressed when he heard of the experiment.

Chapter 2017 Two Iron Balls Landed Simultaneously...【4】

When Galileo heard this experiment, he didn't take it seriously: "My great scientist, what do you want me to do in an experiment where two iron balls fall to the ground at the same time?"

Yan Song stared.

What?This is your experiment, why don't you do it?

Galileo, you have fallen! !

Well, Galileo cannot be blamed for this. After all, he was oppressed in various ways in Europe and his thoughts were imprisoned in various ways, so he could only resort to [Two iron balls landing experiment at the same time] to break the imprisonment.

But in Daming, Galileo was very free, and there was no ideological confinement at all.

Therefore, he didn't understand why Yan Song wanted to conduct such a stupid experiment to open people's eyes?

Yan Song refused to allow Galileo to "degenerate": "This experiment is of course no problem for you who are engaged in science, but for the people of Ming Dynasty, they may not really know this kind of scientific truth. The scientific awareness of the people. Only by letting them establish scientific concepts can we get rid of superstition and ignorance. In short, it is of great significance.”

Galileo thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't understand Yan Song, but he was saved by Yan Song, so he could only nod in agreement.

In order to further build momentum, Yan Song published a huge advertisement in the name of Galileo in the newspaper.

This advertisement occupies two full pages of a newspaper.

This advertisement has only one picture and one sentence.

In this picture, there are two iron balls hanging on the famous Leifeng Pagoda in Hangzhou. One weighs 10 pounds and the other weighs 1 pound. The sizes are very distinct and the contrast is obvious.

That sentence is: "Two iron balls fall at the same time, who will land first?

There is also a line of small words below: "Those who guess correctly will be eligible for a free lottery draw. The maximum bonus is 100 silver, and the total bonus is not less than [-] million. The Fed's ticket number is guaranteed by its reputation and supervised throughout the process. This lottery is true."

This time, the whole Daming was shocked.

"Look at today's newspaper! There is big news!"

"What? There is a prize quiz? Which of the two iron balls will hit the ground first?"

"Hahaha, don't make this question too simple. Of course, the 10-pound one of the two iron balls will land first. Do you still have to ask?"

"This question is so simple, but there are so many prizes? The first prize is [-] silver? No, I have to send my answer immediately, maybe I can win the prize."

"A total bonus of 100 million silver? And the credit guarantee and supervision of the Federal Reserve Bank of the First Bank? I want to participate in this."

As a large number of newspapers were sold, the matter continued to ferment.

The prize quiz with a prize of up to 100 million has become the hottest word in Daming recently.

The advertisement designed by Yan Song also became the origin of the modern advertising industry.In the future, countless business schools will take out this advertisement from the 16th century AD, and let the students analyze what is so wonderful about this advertisement, and why can it become a Himalaya in the modern advertising industry?

Not to mention how ingenious the creativity of Yan Song's advertisement, at least in Daming, countless people rushed to send their answers to Galileo for the 100 million grand prize.

Galileo smiled after reading these letters.

Because these letters are almost the same, they all insist that the heavy 10-pound iron ball will hit the ground first, and the small iron ball will hit the ground last.

Galileo calmly collected the answers to these questions and published them in the newspaper. He made a solemn promise that he would conduct a public experiment on the Leifeng Pagoda by the West Lake in 10 days. What will happen if the balls fall at the same time, and a big draw will be held on the spot, and the 100 million silver reward will be given out.
