Great Song

The sound was so abrupt that the onlookers fell to their knees in shock.Some were timid, already trembling with fright, and began to yell, "Master Thunder Forgiveness", without knowing what they were thinking.

There was also a panic in front of the throne, and many guards drew their knives and shouted "escort".This movement was like a cannon, how could it not frighten them.Zhen Qiong was also taken aback by the loud noise, and quickly explained after recovering: "Officer, this is the movement of the iron ball being torn apart. There is no air in the ball, and there will be a loud noise when it suddenly pours in. Harmful."

Zhao Xu's face turned pale, he leaned back, clutching the armrest of the chair tightly, and looked towards the field in shock.He had seen cannons fired before, but it was not one or two miles away. It was the first time he heard the cannons so close. How could he not be afraid?However, there was no gunpowder smoke in the arena. Although the dozen or so horses were a little frightened, they had already been controlled by the reins.And the iron ball, which seemed to be inseparable forever, was divided into two halves again, rolling and spinning on the ground.

It turned out to be the sound made by the iron ball!Zhao Xu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately became excited again: "The ball was really torn apart? Was it torn?"

He didn't wait for Zhen Qiong's answer, so he asked his servant to check.Even though his legs were weak from the fright, the servant didn't dare to disobey, trembling, he went to see it, and hurried back to report: "Official, the iron ball is not damaged, it's just been separated again."

In fact, what he checked was not only whether there was any damage, but also carefully looked at the structure of the iron ball.There is no mechanism at all, just two hemispheres of cast iron.Shouldn't such a round ball be opened as soon as it is pulled?It took sixteen horses to pull it apart, it's simply unpredictable!Thinking of this, he didn't even dare to look at Zhenjun Thunder.

Zhao Xu still didn't believe it, but he didn't dare to go and have a look in person, so he held back for a while before he said to Zhen Qiong: "Mr. Tongxuan, what's so special about this performance?"

He didn't even talk about spells, let alone Feng Shui.But from the bottom of his heart, he still secretly hoped that Zhen Qiong could tell some truths, even if it was for the imperial invitation, he didn't care too much.After all, this is an unpredictable power of gods and ghosts. If Zhen Qiong can really control it, it is all right to make him a national teacher!

Unexpectedly, Zhen Qiong said directly: "There is nothing particular about it, but when the iron ball is forged, the seams must be tightly fitted. It is best to use the bark of Eucommia bark with glue as the lining to prevent air leakage."

Zhao Xu: "..."

This sounds like a ghost, but it has nothing to do with it.Seeing that he finished all the main points in a few simple sentences, Zhao Xu couldn't help but asked again: "Isn't it very particular about where to act?"

"No." Zhen Qiong replied simply, "As long as the iron ball is sealed well and the water can be pumped cleanly. No matter how big the ball is, whoever will verify it will have the same effect."

Zhao Xu was even more shocked. This statement really didn't mean to hide anything, and it was not like other Taoists who valued magic.But the more so, the more weird he felt in his heart, and he couldn't help asking: "Then why is Mara not kicking off?"

Zhen Qiong looked at him in the same confusion: "Did the officials forget the purpose of this performance? Of course it is because of atmospheric pressure. There is no water and no air in the ball, and the huge force of the atmosphere acts on the ball, which makes the horse unable to drive." .”

Zhao Xu: "..."

He really forgot what Zhen Qiong said before, but it might not be difficult to convince him that this "atmospheric pressure" is everywhere, but the terrifying force he saw today really went against what he usually knew.After holding back for a while, Zhao Xu said, "Then why can't I feel the atmospheric pressure?"

"Because everyone has to breathe. The inside and outside are connected, so naturally there will be no pressure difference. Only when the atmosphere is emptied, the great power will show signs." Zhen Qiong also understood that the emperor's ability to understand is really worrying. Need to explain a little bit more.

This also seems to have some truth?Zhao Xu glanced at the ball again, and remembered the previous operation. It was indeed pumping water after filling, and the ball was empty, which made such changes.However, thinking of this, he couldn't help becoming confused: "But since you can't feel the atmospheric pressure, why do you need to take out the atmosphere to do such a performance?"

Isn't this superfluous?Besides, knowing that there is pressure in the atmosphere, so what, isn't it still not aware of it on weekdays?It takes so much time and effort, and it attracts so many people to watch, why is it?

Hearing this, Zhen Qiong was not happy: "Why is it useless? Isn't this the root of understanding the Dao? If you don't even know the Dao, how can you change the world with good fortune? Investigating things is also the way to explore the Dao."

Although he doesn't like Gewu very much, he has to admit that Gewu is still useful.Isn't this atmospheric pressure beneficial to gas refining?Besides, the Gewu School is not like the Good Fortune School. Although it is also named after temples, there are always more Confucianists than Taoists.Even Shen Kuo and Su Song, who are proficient in investigating things, are also Confucianists.There are so many Confucianists in the Song Dynasty, so they should learn more about Gewu.

Hearing this, Zhao Xu couldn't help being stunned.Yes, "gewu" is not the foundation of knowledge. "Book of Rites University" has a saying: "In ancient times, those who wished to manifest their virtues in the world first ruled their country; those who wanted to rule their country first regulated their families; Those who want to correct their minds must first correct their minds; those who want to correct their minds must first be sincere in their intentions; those who want to be sincere in their minds must first extend their knowledge, and the extension of knowledge lies in the investigation of things.”

Although the great Confucians of the past dynasties have different interpretations of "gewu", none of them are as shocking and profound as this kind of performance.If you can't even find out the truths of the world one by one, how can you bring peace to the world?As the son of heaven, although he does not need to study heaven and man, if he can cultivate his morality, it will definitely be beneficial to govern the world.How can you reject the Dao because you can't think of a use?

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but respect in awe: "What Mr. said made me suddenly enlightened! Those who want to show their virtues in the world really need to study things!"

Zhen Qiong: "???"

Wait, what do you understand?What does this have to do with Mingde?

Fortunately, Zhao Xu didn't have time to ask him questions, and he took another look at the hemisphere in the field, and he also showed a smile on his face: "If you can let me see the great way, it should be rewarded."

This was a reward in front of thousands of people, it was an indescribable honor.However, Zhen Qiong was agitated, and immediately said: "There is no need for rewards, anyway, I also need atmospheric pressure to refine qi, which is also needed for qi refining."

Unexpectedly, he refused so simply, and Zhao Xu showed admiration in his eyes: "Mr. only talks about refining Qi, but who expects to do amazing things frequently. How about this, I will approve another [-] guan for Baoying Temple, and I only hope that Mr. Income."

Hey, so generous!Calculated in this way, he was awarded [-] guan for just refining qi!Zhen Qiong didn't feel that the presenter was too much trouble at once, she laughed like a flower, and thanked her again and again.The two chatted happily over there, and the crowd looked around, but they still didn't react.

Mi Fu didn't even care about painting anymore, he held Li Gonglin's hand tightly, shaking with excitement.However, Li Gonglin didn't move away, his eyes were round and bright, as if he was reminiscing about the scene just now.Su Shi's mouth was still wide open, and he murmured after a while: "Is the atmosphere really so powerful?"

Su Zhe, who was standing beside him, was also in a daze, unable to answer the question.Shen Kuo caressed his beard calmly: "If Zizhan doesn't believe it, he can try it at home. Didn't Ling Xiaozi talk about it all, it's just a matter of making an iron ball."

"Try it!" Su Shi nodded immediately, and then looked at Shen Kuo with bright eyes, "I will also visit Ling Xiaozi often in the future, and I hope my brother will recommend it!"

"That's easy to say." Shen Kuo readily agreed.He also knew that Su Shi was very curious and he couldn't hide his words. If he gradually deduced things like a vacuum and the earth's rotation in the future, he might be able to spread the word if he writes with a spirit. Wider yet.

Su Zhe glanced at his elder brother. With the deduction of the atmospheric pressure, it seems that his elder brother has no intention of paying attention to the new law recently, right?

This group of people is in front of the emperor, so it's not easy to talk too much.But the people standing outside became more and more commotion.Some people insisted that this was a divine technique, and that it was the punishment from True Monarch Thunder.Some still remembered what the newspaper said, kept rubbing their arms and taking a deep breath.I was afraid that the atmospheric pressure would suddenly drop on me and be crushed into a pulp.Of course, there are still some who understand and have heard the conversation between the monarch and his ministers just now.

Cheng Yi stared at the iron ball with a dull expression, unable to speak.What did he hear just now, the Xiaodao said that this is also "gewu"?Studying physics is the common goal of him and his brother.It's just that his elder brother firmly believes that only by studying physics thoroughly can the mind not be burdened by external objects, while he firmly believes that studying physics thoroughly can make the mind understand the principles of heaven.The loud noise now smashed his cognition of "Gewu" into pieces.The atmosphere has such great power, why can't people feel it at all?If he can't even believe in his own perception, how can he observe everything and understand the principles of heaven?

And what is the connection between this atmospheric pressure and Gang Chang?How would he digest this "principle of heaven" to deduce his intellect and perfect his own theory?For a moment, Cheng Yi felt numb and dizzy.

Cheng Hao beside him looked a little better, it would definitely take time to understand atmospheric pressure.But this kind of earth-shaking cognition is not useless for his firm belief, but brother is going to be hit hard.There is also the question of whether the qi comes first or later, they probably can't argue with Zhang Zai.Who would have thought that what he expected was right, that the atmosphere really has such great power to transform the world?

Thinking of this, Cheng Hao couldn't help turning his head and looking to his side.Unexpectedly, after just one glance, he was stunned.I saw Zhang Zai standing there, trembling all over, tears streaming down his face.Startled, Cheng Hao hurriedly supported him: "Uncle, don't panic, but you have brought the heart protection pill, why don't you take a pill first?"

Don't be too excited, have a heart attack, right?

Zhang Zai shook his head, raised his sleeves and wiped away his tears: "If you can see the Dao, you will have no regrets in this life."

The iron ball that can only be pulled away by sixteen horses completely strengthened his belief.The atmosphere has the power to shape the world, and everything in this world comes from "qi".However, that loud noise also shattered the barrier in his heart.This is his way!Only by resisting the pressure that is present all the time and everywhere, all things can reproduce, and the world can be reincarnated.Since everything in the world is like this, how can he shy away from cowardice, because a little self-preservation mind turns a blind eye to falsehood?

When he became Emperor Chen, he directly denounced the harm of the Baojia Law!Growing up in Border County since he was a child, he has seen countless wars, tired soldiers and vicious enemies, and the usefulness of innovative methods.The Baojia Law should not be what it is now, nor should it be universal in the world.He also has strategy and insight in his heart, how can the emperor be fooled by one person? !

Opposing Wang Anshi will inevitably bring endless pressure.But so what?Of all the things in this world, which one does not live and die in the great force.Not only is he admonishing for the new law this time, but his qi should also make more achievements!
