Liang Kesheng was completely unaware that he had fallen into Qi Xiao's trap.
The so-called respectful address of teacher is just a prank to lose face, and eating a good meal that is not noticeable is the key to the trap.
How do you say this?
Previously, Qi Xiao had been trying to take the initiative to contact the Liang family, but was rejected every time. If they had a meal together, he would not be able to hide away even if he wanted to.
Then, take the opportunity.
Follow the example of Su Qin and Zhang Yi, and use your sharp tongue to tell the truth, talk about the pros and cons, and completely disrupt your sister's marriage.
This is the motivation for betting.
As for success or failure, it all depends on your own eloquence.
Okay, let’s get back to the present.
Regarding the bet between the two of them, all the bystanders laughed it off and no one thought much about it.
What they were concerned about was Qi Xiao's next argument.
The emperor also pricked up his ears again and listened attentively and breathlessly.
Qi Xiao suddenly turned his head and asked Gong Yang Yucheng in the audience: "My nephew heard that my father once gave Uncle Shi a pair of astronomical telescopes that can peek into the sky. Is this possible?"
"Indeed!"
Gongyang Yucheng first bowed his hand toward the south, and then said with a smile: "Your father and I have a close relationship, almost to the point of indistinguishable from each other, so he was willing to bear the pain and give this treasure to me."
Qi Xiao returned the gift on behalf of his father and said, "How dare I ask my uncle, can this treasure be used to view the moon?"
When mentioning this matter, Gongyang Yucheng couldn't help but burst into laughter and said: "Looking at the moon? Haha, it's just a common thing! I think back then, all the princes in the court came to the stargazing platform in person and used this mirror to observe the beauty of the bright moon.
Even our Holy Emperor had a glimpse of the secret of heaven at that time. It can be said that the existence of this mirror allowed the world to know Bai Yujing in the sky again."
Although this anecdote is unknown, it has long been known to women and children.
This is indeed true.
Qi Xiao nodded when he heard this, and then asked: "Shibo has studied astronomy intensively. I wonder if he understands the true principle of the waxing and waning of the moon?"
Gongyang Yucheng replied without hesitation: "The waxing and waning of the moon is a manifestation of the laws of nature, which cannot be discerned by ordinary people. Even if there is, it is just some unproven conjecture. As for its true principle, at present,
It’s still unknown.”
The last time he watched the moon, Qi Yu only let the world know the shape of the moon, but did not explain the moon's waxing and waning. Therefore, this phenomenon has become an issue that remains to be studied.
In the past, it might have been possible to use the views in the "Book of Changes" to explain away one or two things. However, since the moon-watching controversy has passed, this false theory seems untenable.
In other words, the waxing and waning of the moon is still an unsolved mystery.
This is not to say that Qi Yu does not want to popularize knowledge, but that he does not want to challenge traditional philosophy so quickly. Even if he wastes his words to convince everyone, there will be no practical benefits. In this case, why bother to take the initiative to cause trouble?
However, today, Qi Xiao tried to lift this mysterious veil to add support for his argument.
"Shibo, how about letting my nephew solve this mystery for you?"
"Great! Dear nephew, please speak!"
Qi Xiao coughed dryly and said: "My father said that the part where the moon loses is the shadow of the ball we step on. The principle is very simple, it is just a shield..."
What?
Is the waning moon a shadow?
As soon as this theory came out, it immediately caused an uproar.
However, no one dared to question it openly.
The reason is for no other reason than Qi Xiao's words just now: "My father said".
Who is Qi Yu?
He is the Dingjia Tanhua of our Dafeng Dynasty. He is knowledgeable in astronomy, geography, good at painting, and knows military affairs. He is simply an unparalleled and omnipotent person. Even he thinks so, who dares to question it?
In the face of authority, everyone chooses to keep their mouths shut.
Only Liang Kesheng was determined not to buy this account.
"Mr. Qi, you said that the reason for the waning moon is shadow blocking, so you have to provide corresponding evidence, right? You can't. It's just what your father says, right?"
"You want to see the evidence? Of course there is!"
After saying that, Qi Xiao immediately clapped his hands, as if giving some kind of instruction.
After Huang Fei, who was disguised as a servant, heard the sound, he quickly presented the related items prepared in advance.
A closer look reveals a diagram of the operating principles of the sun, moon, and earth, as well as a corresponding physical simulator.
"The sun rises and sets due to its rotation..."
"The waxing and waning of the moon are caused by the revolution and obstruction..."
Qi Xiao explained in a scientific way and performed simulation demonstrations very seriously.
In this session, he not only explained the principles of the waxing and waning of the moon, but also explained the changes in day and night and the alternation of the four seasons.
He even proposed the theory of universal gravitation to endorse his previous magnetic field theory.
"It can be seen that the earth we are on is indeed a sphere!"
"As for the waning moon, it's just a 'ball shadow' caused by occlusion. It's very simple..."
In this way, Ball World's argument has evidence to support it.
Many people want to refute, but they cannot produce valid evidence.
Therefore, I could only stare.
Yin Tao looked at her son who was talking eloquently on the stage, and finally showed a smile of approval and relief.
Finally, Qi Xiao brought the topic back to the beginning and said: "To sum up, the so-called theory of a round sky and a square earth is nothing more than a hypothesis to fool the world..."
All right!
Regardless of whether the celebrities were willing or not, and whether they supported it or not, they were all forced to make a declaration of sincerity.
Qi Xiao's theory is very rigorous. Although it sounds a bit bizarre, it is quite convincing.
How do you retort?
Seeing that no one was cheering, Yin Tao quickly took the lead in applauding.
Then, it really caused an uproar.
At this time, Qi Xiao stood up and saluted, which was the end of this academic seminar.
After walking off the high platform, he came to Liang Kesheng and asked with a smile: "Ya Nei, do you have any questions?"
"I do not have anymore……"
"real?"
"Um……"
In full view of everyone, Liang Kesheng had no choice but to bow down and say, "Thank you very much, teacher, for teaching me!"
Qi Xiao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "You can teach a boy!"
ah!!
You naughty kid, you are really disgusting!
Suddenly, Liang Kesheng's face turned the color of pig liver.
Qi Xiao still had the upper hand and said unmercifully: "Good disciple, I am hungry as a teacher. Look at us..."
Phew! Isn’t it just a meal?
Isn’t it okay if I just ask?
Liang Kesheng gritted his teeth in disgust and asked: "Is the 'Heaven and Earth' restaurant available?"
"Well, let's just choose that place!" Qi Xiao loosened his belt subconsciously, showing a greedy look.
