Beilin wanted to tell Fan Zhong that steel knives can also conduct electricity.
But, it's too late.
Fan Zhong was worried about the emperor's comfort. What would he do if thunder was triggered again and the palace was destroyed?
I immediately spotted the copper wire and cut it off with a single stroke!
Bang!
Another burst of white light flashed, and when the copper wire was cut by the steel knife, an explosion was triggered.
Fan Zhong felt a strong force coming from him, which made his arm numb, and the steel knife came out of his hand.
The kite lost control and flew deep into the clouds. The flying thread was still crackling and flashing with fire.
Beilin breathed a sigh of relief. Although the handle of the knife was not conductive, it was raining, and the knife just now looked clean and neat, and it was extremely thrilling.
At this time, everyone in the Hanlin Academy was stunned, and the scene was eerily quiet.
At this time, they had to begin to accept the facts before them.
Just using a copper wire can cause thunder?
How is this possible?
Suddenly, they realized the seriousness of the problem.
Since the thunder and lightning theory is correct, what about the others?
The earth under your feet is like a ball, and the sun, moon, and earth are circling each other. Sows should wipe their bodies in time after giving birth...
Are these weird and bizarre theories all correct?
Is that science encyclopedia really not the Classic of Mountains and Seas?
At this time, Cao Nai also thought of this section, and his body suddenly shook.
For thousands of years, natural science, which has been regarded as a strange skill by scholars, turned out to be a university subject!
No wonder the emperor valued science so much and even included these contents in the imperial examination.
Everyone stepped back involuntarily, but Beilin stepped forward, pressed on Xiao Weizhen's neck, and found that there was still a pulse.
"Hurry and save people, they are still alive!"
At the same time, he went to see several other people. Unfortunately, they all died on the spot and their bodies were smoldering.
Only Xiao Weizhen, for some reason, is still breathing.
Being struck by lightning and still surviving is a miracle.
However, the damage caused by high-intensity electric current to people is far from superficial burns. All parts of the body, including the nervous system, will be damaged.
Even if these two people can be rescued, they may not be able to recover from the organ damage caused by the lightning strike.
"What are you looking at? Save people quickly!"
Bei Lin shouted, but saw the people in the Hanlin Academy retreating in unison.
It’s so scary, thunder from the sky!
It would be fine if he was struck to death by thunder, but he did not die. What is this if he is not a monster?
We were asked to rescue people, but what if we were struck by thunder?
On the contrary, several people from the Academy of Sciences gathered over and lifted Xiao Weizhen up with all their hands and feet, and ran towards the Taiyuan Hospital.
Summer rainstorms come and go quickly.
The scene has just been cleaned up here, the dark clouds have dissipated, and the sky has cleared up!
It's as if God gave the Hanlin Academy a chance to verify the power of Tianlei.
In just an instant, six living people were scorched.
Xiao Weizhen, the leading academician, although he was still breathing, was twitching and foaming at the mouth, and he didn't know if he could be rescued.
The great melee between the Hanlin Academy and the Academy of Sciences ended with this. Needless to say, the result was that from then on, the reputation of the Imperial Academy was discredited, and it no longer dared to interfere with the affairs of the Academy of Sciences...
Without him, the price would be too heavy!
Even some young Hanlin officials began to waver in the deep-rooted Confucianism.
Is natural science really so wonderful?
The farce ended and everyone dispersed.
After Wynn and several eunuchs finished cleaning, they saw that there was another person still staying on the spot.
"Tong Hanlin, it's time to go on duty!"
"Oh, just go, just go..."
Tong Xuan agreed casually, but stared blankly at the sky.
This person is
This year’s new Jinshi have just entered the Hanlin Academy.
His growth experience was the same as that of most scholars. He studied poetry and books since he was a child and worshiped Confucian culture. When he saw the weird stories from the Academy of Sciences, his only reaction was to sneer.
However, today's result caused huge waves in his heart.
From childhood to adulthood, the worldview established by the words and deeds of famous scholars and over ten years of hard study suddenly collapsed at this moment.
Wynn looked at his dazed look, shook his head helplessly, and asked people to leave.
After the rain, the sky cleared up, and the thunder and lightning just now disappeared completely.
Tong Xuan stood outside the main hall for a long time, thoughtfully.
Returning to the Hanlin Academy, there was a dead silence.
What happened today was so embarrassing. I swore in front of the emperor and made a bet with the Academy of Sciences. What happened...
If you lose the bet, you will lose five lives.
The leader's life and death are even more uncertain. This time, it is really a complete defeat!
In the past, if people from the Hanlin Academy met people from the Academy of Sciences while walking on the road, they would basically treat them as a joke.
It is conceivable that from today on, the Hanlin Academy can only behave with its tail between its legs.
That was not what Tong Xuan was thinking about. On the way home, he went to the bookstore and bought an encyclopedia of natural sciences. When he got home, he eagerly started reading it.
This printed volume is a popular science book for children. The words are as simple and easy to understand as possible, but the content still shocked him greatly.
Especially when I saw the chapter on electricity, it was written in the book that in addition to thundercloud discharge, there are other forms of electricity in nature.
For example, there is a fish in the deep sea that can discharge electricity.
Can fish also discharge electricity?
Tong Xuan has some doubts about life. If it were the past, he would have put it aside long ago.
However, after today's thunder incident, what else is impossible?
He tried to convince himself that the world was huge and full of wonders, and then he continued reading.
This fish releases electric current to stun its prey and then eats it.
Recalling the scene that happened in front of Fengtian Temple today, if there are really animals that can discharge electricity, it would be a good way to use this function to hunt.
But, where does the electricity in the fish described in the book come from?
Tong Xuan read the chapter on electricity over and over again. The content was too simple. It was equivalent to giving everyone an introduction to what electricity is.
In a nutshell, electricity is a phenomenon that exists naturally.
At the same time, it is also a kind of energy.
I just don’t know how to generate it, nor how to use it.
If someone could harness this energy, it would be as shocking as when ancient people learned to use fire.
Seeing this sentence, Tong Xuan was shocked and couldn't sleep for a long time.
Early the next morning, he first went to the Hanlin Academy to take a bow, then went out and turned around to the Academy of Sciences.
Here, everyone is very busy and rarely see people chatting.
Even yesterday, when they trampled the Hanlin Academy under their feet, they didn't look victorious or excited.
It seems to be just a common thing, not worth mentioning.
"Excuse me..."
Tong Xuan casually grabbed a person, who looked at him and asked, "What's the matter, brother?"
"This is Tong Xuan, compiled by the Hanlin Academy."
