Chapter 737: The God-Defying Scientist (please vote for support!)
Fang Jun was very surprised. Did the art of pulling stars appear in the Tang Dynasty?
He can build sailboats, but his knowledge of navigation is naturally not his strong point. However, the method of observing celestial bodies at sea to determine the position of a ship should have been available for a long time, but it seems that a systematic system and theory have not been formed.
Seeing his surprised expression, Yu Ming thought he didn't know anything about this navigation skill that few people knew about. He said with a bit of pride: "Qi Su Xun" of the Han Dynasty once said: "Those who are confused by boats do not know what is going on." , Enlightenment will be achieved when you see the Dipper." Ge Hong of the Jin Dynasty also said in "Baopu Ziwai Chapter Jia Dun", "Those who are confused by the clouds and dreams must guide them to understand; those who are confused by the sea must look up to the stars. It is extremely counterproductive. When Faxian of the Jin Dynasty returned home from India by boat, he said that the sea was so vast and boundless that it was impossible to know east and west. The only way to move forward was to look at the sun, moon and stars. The art of stargazing and navigation has been around since ancient times. However, the stars that the ancients looked at were only a few stars such as the Big Dipper, which would be biased. If you have my star book, you can have no worries day and night, and sailing the sea is like swimming in rivers and lakes."
Listening to what he said, Fang Jun guessed that the art of holding stars had not yet appeared in the Tang Dynasty, but sages had already begun to pay attention to this field and slowly put it into practice. Maybe they had not formed a complete theory, but they had already set foot in it.
Forefathers who have the courage to pioneer, it is this practical spirit that has made Chinese civilization thousands of years ahead of the entire world...
If it were anyone else, he would definitely be moved by the bright prospects mentioned by Yu Ming. Unfortunately, the man in front of him, who plans to combine the compass with the star map to create a new way of traveling, obviously has a low understanding of time travel...
Fang Jun did not need a complete star map, he needed a complete star-finding technique, or a method to measure the height of the North Star to accurately position and navigate.
"Please forgive me for being rude. The star map you mentioned must have been the result of the hard work of previous generations. It is a shocking work. However, this map is completely useless to me, because I have already mastered a method that can be used to navigate across the vast sea. A device for finding directions accurately."
Fang Jun chuckled. Not only did he show Yu Ming's contempt, he also took the opportunity to throw out something even more wonderful than the method of smelting iron and forging.
As expected, Mr. Yu Ming showed a look of disbelief - well, how many times has this happened? Mr. Yu Ming felt that he had learned a lot today. After living for such a long time, he thought he had already cultivated to the state where his mind is indifferent and does not linger on external objects. , but he was repeatedly surprised by the hairless Marquis...
Strictly speaking, Yu Ming can be regarded as the best scientist in ancient times. The knowledge he mastered can really be proud of the entire era. And curiosity is an instinctive quality that every scientist must possess. A device for finding directions accurately?
Yu Ming's heart is as scratched as a cat, and he can't calm down...
"The old man knows that there is an object that can indicate north and south, and it is called Sinan. However, the craftsmanship of Sinan is difficult and complicated, and it must be placed on a level place to make it stationary before it can accurately indicate the direction. The ship is sailing on the sea, and the wind and waves are bumping constantly, and Sinan is completely useless. Use. I wonder what the Lord Hou is talking about?"
Curiosity can kill a cat. Yu Mingshi had no idea that he was about to be killed by this cat. He was just like a scientist full of curiosity and couldn't extricate himself.
This time it was Fang Jun's turn to smile proudly: "Old man, let's talk about the method of smelting iron and forging."
Yu Ming was so angry that he gritted his teeth!
What a little thief...
"The Marquis wanted to build a navy, so I tried to build a warship called the 'Flying Tiger Warship'. There were four wheels beside the ship, each with eight blades. The boat floated in the water and used the wheels to stir up the water. It moved like this
Flying, the collision pole is placed aside, and the enemy boat meets it, and it is easily broken! It is really a sharp weapon in water warfare. I wonder if this boat can enter the Marquis's discernment?" The old man was obviously a little angry, and he didn't believe that I was a scholar of heaven and man, and couldn't use it.
Something that can hold you down!
Fang Jun frowned slightly. Isn't this the originator of "steamships"? Five stars for pioneering and one star for practicality. It's totally not worth it! I have seen the machine-powered paddle steamer "Clay" in the documentary.
"Montet", how can you put something like this in my eyes?
"My father once invented a new method of laying the ribs of ships, which can greatly increase the strength of the ship and withstand greater winds and waves without risking the ship being shattered by huge waves. Has the Marquis ever needed it?"
Yu Ming's eyes widened and he was so excited!
Are you kidding? Isn't it a hundred times better to increase the strength by laying watertight compartments than by adding ribs? Just connect the watertight compartment partitions to the keel. The more watertight compartments, the greater the lateral strength of the ship!
Fang Jun still had a smile on his face, and the old god was still there, unmoved.
But I was shocked in my heart. This old man is really powerful. Yu Ming is worthy of being the "waiter closest to God". Almost everything he said was a technology that was only widely used in the Song, Yuan, Ming and other dynasties. However, this old man just casually
Just believe it, what kind of incredible power is this?
It’s just a little bit worse than myself…
Moreover, this old man has such a wealth of knowledge. He must have certain attainments in mathematics. At least he is better than ordinary people of this era. The most important thing is, is the Yuming family a family or a tribe? It doesn’t matter which one, it doesn’t matter.
It shows that Yu Ming is definitely not alone!
What a huge asset this ethnic group has with excellent inheritance in mathematics, astronomy, and medicine for a generation where 99% of the people are illiterate?
It's so huge that Fang Jun's mouth is watering...
Yu Ming was angry!
He didn't think that Fang Jun really looked down upon the exchange conditions he proposed, and it was even more unlikely that this little prince had a better view than himself! He took it for granted that this was a scheming attempt to seduce him.
Proposing a higher-level exchange condition, he is really cunning and greedy at such a young age!
I really want to flick my sleeves and turn around and leave without taking a single cloud with me, just like when he came...
But the more intelligent people like Yu Ming are, the more they are persistent and full of curiosity for knowledge that they cannot master. Because they know the process of achieving the unity of heaven and man and gaining a glimpse of the supreme heaven.
, is the process of conquering this vast world. Only by discovering all the mysteries of time can it be possible to get closer to the supreme goal!
"The Marquis is in a high position at a young age, and I think he is also an open-minded person. He was able to use this to create hundreds of armored riding equipment overnight, turn defeat into victory in one fell swoop, and shock the south of the Yangtze River. His achievements are as good as those of ancient times.
Famous generals will definitely leave their names in history and shine in the annals of history. I have to be amazed by the wisdom of the Marquis and admire him for his fame and fortune. Since the Marquis doesn't like what I said, he might as well fire him.
If the conditions are met, as long as I am within my ability, I will never refuse."
There is no other way. If you can't do it hard, or if you can't use inducements, you can only do it softly...
But Fang Jun is still a soft-spoken guy!
Hearing this, he smiled and said: "Since my father-in-law said so, then if I don't put forward some conditions, wouldn't I be disrespecting my father-in-law?"
Yu Ming was so angry that he wanted to kill someone...
"This is the best. Even if the Marquis wants the skin of a white bear from the far north, I will never delay it!"
"Oh? My father-in-law has been to the far north? And he can actually hunt polar bears?" Fang Jun's eyes lit up, he was really interested.
Yu Mingshi: "..."
It's just talk, do you take it seriously?
Seeing Fang Jun's shining eyes, Yu Ming regretted so much that she almost gave herself a slap in the face! At Fang Jun's age, he probably likes such curious things the most, so why should he bring it up?
"Ahem... How old is this old man? The Marquis could not bear to let him go all the way to the Far North? When I was young, I almost lost my life when I went to the Far North. After I came back, I took a few years of respite.
I have regained my original strength. If I go there again at this age, I will really come back without my life..."
Yu Ming was really afraid that Fang Jun would ask him to go to the far north to kill a bear, skin it and bring it back to him...
"I'm old, how can I be so unkind? However, there are also heroes among my clan members, so why not send a few over?"
Yu Ming was silent.
The most dangerous place in the world is probably not much better than the real hell. The knife-like north wind, the cold that freezes the blood, the endless ice fields, the ferocious beasts...
