In this day and age, it would be fanciful to make a real astronomical telescope, but there is no problem at all in making a simple one.
After all, Xu Qing was also a writer of historical novels in his previous life. He had checked all the information that needed to be checked, and it was not like he had never used a telescope.
However, his brain is now only responsible for loading theory, and his practical ability is not generally poor. If he wants to do this, he will probably have to find a professional.
And Xu Qing happened to have such a professional under his command.
Mo Heng was good at making traps, fire blunderbuss, flying blades and hidden arrows, there was nothing he couldn't do.
Although Mo Heng has never mentioned his life experience, Xu Qing really doesn't believe that Lao Mo has nothing to do with the Mo family.
There will definitely be no problem for such a capable person to build a telescope.
Although the Chinese New Year is coming soon, it’s not good to force people to work overtime when the holidays are approaching, but... it’s not enough for him to pay more.
In the last few days before the New Year, Xu Qing taught the little girl basic science from time to time, and then took the little maid to go shopping for some New Year goods in person. The life was also enjoyable.
The little girl used to have a natural aversion to learning. Apart from martial arts and arithmetic, her knowledge of literature was quite vague, and she was basically half-illiterate.
Fortunately, the little girl didn't study hard before, her basic culture was not solid, and her worldview had not yet been formed. On the contrary, Xu Qing made her feel more relaxed.
Although she could always ask weird questions, Xiao Ruxue's acceptance of basic science was extremely fast after Xu Qing answered them one by one.
This made Xu Qing quite proud. Look, who said Princess Yongle doesn't like to study?
Whether Princess Yongle likes to study or not depends on who will teach her.
If it were a handsome and handsome man like him, wouldn't it be accurate to teach one person to another?
Look how well they have learned?
Andinghou Mansion
In the study
Xiao Ruxue sat in the study and looked at the cross-section diagram of the earth drawn by Xu Qing and asked: "Xu Qing, Xu Qing! You said that the place 66 miles vertically downward from our ground is called Moho, and it is 5,800 miles away.
There is also a Gutenberg noodle in the place, why is it called such a strange name? Is the surname of the one in Sixty-six is Mo or Huo? Why does one noodle have two surnames?"
Xu Qing, who had just returned from shopping with Xuan'er, was slightly startled when he heard this. Whether it was Moho noodles or Gutenberg noodles, these noodles were actually named after the discoverer. The person named Moho discovered the noodles.
It’s called Moho noodles, and it’s also called Gutenberg noodles.
At that time, the minds of the unified Chinese people were still in the imperial examination career that had lasted for ten years. The development of natural science was slow, but it gave these more open-minded Western countries the opportunity to overtake in a corner and lead the science for hundreds of years.
course.
But this era is still early before Mojo and Gutenberg were born... Why does he still need to copy and copy the knowledge from books?
Now he, Xu Qing, is the one who discovered these two faces, so he, Xu Qing, already has the naming rights. Thinking about it, does he still need to hang the names of the two foreigners on them?
Thinking of this, Xu Qing said, "I came up with this name casually. I picked whatever came to my mind. It stands to reason that the person who discovers it first has the right to name it. You can call them Xu Qingmian or Xiao Ruxuemian."
When Xiao Ruxue heard this, a look of emotion appeared on her face, and she happily agreed: "Yes! Our names are indeed much better than your two place names, which are not like the names of places and people, but not the names of people!"
With that said, Xiao Ruxue picked up the pen and crossed out these two names, preparing to write their two names.
Just as she was writing, the little girl fell into a dilemma again. She raised her head and looked at Xu Qing and said: "Xu Qing, Xu Qing, what are the two positions, are you on top or below?"
One is 66 miles away from the ground, which is 33 kilometers; the other is 5800 miles away from the ground, which is 2900 kilometers.
Of course, these are not the point. The point is which of the two is on top.
This is a very serious question.
Xu Qing has been pinned down by his wife countless times. Although it saves effort, the feeling of not being able to take the initiative is really uncomfortable. Thinking of this, Xu Qing said righteously: "I like being on top.
"
Xiao Ruxue agreed casually and wrote Xu Qing's name next to it, and then said to herself: "Then I'll be below."
As Xiao Ruxue started writing, two major discoveries were made that would shock the world in the future: Xu Qingmian and Xiao Ruxue.
After Xu Qing gave Xiao Ruxue some knowledge about the last class of the day, he sent Xiao Ruxue home.
It is said that when things go to extremes, they must reverse themselves, and misfortunes and blessings depend on each other.
If the little girl didn't like to study before, she also had the advantage of not liking to study.
night
Xu Qing came to the Nuan Pavilion. Su Qian put the newspaper aside and looked at Xu Qing and asked, "Xue'er is gone?"
Xu Qing nodded and said, "It's getting late. If she doesn't go back, the city gate will be closed."
Xu Qing would not read these newspapers produced by the Guoshangyuan. Anyway, they were written according to his wishes. As long as they did not blatantly publish some treasonous remarks, the court would not care about them.
Su Qian stroked her belly, looked at Xu Qing and asked, "What have your husband and Xue'er been doing in the study these days?"
Xu Qing said truthfully: "Of course I'm studying."
The corners of Su Qian's mouth curled up slightly, she looked at Xu Qing and asked, "Study? What to study? Husband at the top or Xue'er at the bottom?"
"Ahem!" Xu Qing almost jumped up when he heard this: "Madam...how do you know this!"
Su Qian said: "In the afternoon, I asked Xuan'er to help me go out for a walk, and that's when I heard this. Why...now my husband has started discussing this with Xue'er?"
Xu Qing sat on the edge of the bed, hugged Su Qian and flicked her on the forehead: "Nonsense, what's above and below? What's going on in this lady's mind? Xue'er is still a child!"
Su Qian said: "I heard it!"
Xu Qing explained: "If you heard me clearly, you would know that we are talking about Xu Qingmian and Xiao Ruxuemian."
Su Qian was startled: "Not only do you distinguish up and down, but also pros and cons?"
What should I do if my wife becomes more and more dirty? Xu Qing had to patiently explain to her: "The earth under our feet is actually not flat but an oval ball. Sixty-six miles vertically downward from this ball is Xu Qing's
Qingmian, and five thousand eight hundred miles away is Xiao Ruxuemian, what are the pros and cons, what is the lady thinking about all day long? Pros and cons..."
When Su Qian heard this, she couldn't help but reached out and touched Xu Qing's forehead, murmuring: "You don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense?"
Xu Qing held Su Qian's bare hand and took it off: "This is not nonsense, this is science and the truth."
Su Qian was held by Xu Qing's hand, but she still said uneasy: "Xuan'er, go and ask Taoist Master Chunyang to come back!"
