Chapter 199: Condensing water into ice, making fire with ice
Liu Shan then led the people to retreat.
Li Min asked the two of them to sit down, and then a little girl brought fragrant tea.
Several people chatted for a while, but Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang didn't dare to get to the point.
It's very simple. When they saw Li Min just now, both of them were shocked.
This King of Liang clearly does not look like a man of this era, but yet he happened to appear here.
Therefore, Li Chunfeng blurted out that His Highness Prince Liang was not a human being.
And because of these words, Li Chun almost had his legs broken.
Now, the two of them had huge doubts in their hearts, but they didn't know how to ask.
Li Min, on the other hand, was too lazy to play riddles with the two of them, so he couldn't help but ask: "I wonder why you two came here?"
After Yuan Tiangang thought about it for a while, he couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, how can a person change his fate against the will of heaven?"
Li Min couldn't help but laugh and said: "Don't you know the truth that man can conquer nature?"
boom!
Li Min's words sounded like a thunder in the hearts of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng.
You know, in ancient times, everyone had a reverence for heaven and earth.
Whenever something big happens, we must respect God.
Even the emperor is called the Son of Heaven, the son of God.
This shows the reverence of the ancients for heaven.
And now?
The King of Liang actually uttered arrogant words, man can conquer heaven!
If this sentence were spread, it would definitely cause an uproar.
Of course, in fact, why doesn’t Li Min know this truth?
However, he firmly believed that these two people would never spread this word.
Because Yuan Tiangang clearly calculated that Wu Zetian would be the future queen.
However, he remained tight-lipped and only said some ambiguous words, and did not betray Wu Zetian directly.
Li Min believed that Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng would definitely not spread this sentence.
As for whether we can conquer these two people next, this sentence is actually an introduction.
Li Chunfeng couldn't help but sucked in a breath of cold air and couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, everything in this world is nurtured by heaven and earth. The sky is above, and the way of heaven is vast. Compared with heaven and earth, humans are really too small. How can we dare to say that humans can defeat heaven?
Woolen cloth?"
Li Min smiled slightly and couldn't help but ask: "Then do you know that the earth we live on is actually a sphere?"
Ancient people always believed that the sky was round and the earth was round. Copernicus in the West published the heliocentric theory and was burned alive as a result.
Li Min believes that Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng will be shocked once this theory is thrown out.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Tiangang nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't expect that His Highness actually knew this?"
Um?
What?
Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng actually know that the earth is a spherical body?
However, considering that these two people made calendars and observed solar and lunar eclipses, they were both astronomers.
Considering this, it is actually normal for them to know that the earth is a sphere.
Li Min continued: "Then do you know that each of the stars we see at night is actually a giant, no smaller than the planet we live on? Have you ever thought that one day, we will be able to ride on a
A flying machine can go to any planet?"
This time, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were really shocked and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air at the same time.
In fact, when observing the starry sky, they also had this kind of speculation in their minds.
Maybe the stars in the sky that look very small are actually very large.
However, they did not have any evidence to prove this, and they never thought that they would be able to land on these planets one day.
Li Min continued: "Actually, the so-called sky is just some layers of atmosphere. Through this layer of atmosphere, you can reach the starry sky. In the starry sky, there is no air, and people will float in the starry sky. In the starry sky, there is no up and down.
Left and right, no direction."
This time, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang both had confused looks on their faces.
The two looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
Although they could not understand what King Liang said, they still felt that it was very powerful.
Of course Li Min knew that they didn't understand, and he didn't expect them to understand, but it was enough if he could plant a seed in their hearts.
Li Min then asked: "I know that you two are proficient in astrology and have profound Taoism. So I ask you, can you condense water into ice and use ice to make fire?"
What?
Condensate water into ice, use ice to make fire?
Condensing water into ice is enough, but using ice to make fire is too ridiculous.
In fact, even if they can condense water into ice, they can only do it in winter.
Well, okay, almost everyone can do it.
Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng couldn't help but collectively shook their heads.
Li Min smiled slightly and said, "But, I can!"
Facing Liang Wang who is not very reasonable and will break other people's legs at every turn.
Although Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng didn't believe it in their hearts, they didn't dare to show their doubts. If you say it can, then it can.
Li Min saw doubts on their faces and couldn't help but smile slightly and said: "If I don't show it to you, you won't be convinced. Okay, next, I will show you how to condense water into ice.
The way to make fire from ice!"
After that, Li Min ordered someone to bring half a basin of water and some powder ground from saltpeter ore.
In front of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, Li Min directly poured the saltpeter powder into the basin.
After saltpeter powder comes into contact with water, the saltpeter cools down rapidly and absorbs a large amount of heat.
The water in the basin has dropped below the freezing point due to the sudden drop in temperature.
Therefore, the water in the basin began to freeze quickly.
Not long after, half the basin of water solidified into ice.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng couldn't help but be stunned.
Of course they could see that this was not a Taoist technique at all, but the effect of those powders.
But the fact that there is such a magical powder in this world is beyond their scope of knowledge.
Next, Li Min will perform a performance of making fire with ice.
Li Min took out a piece of ice from the ice cube in the basin, and then polished it with a rubbing object. After a while, it was polished into a weird shape.
Of course, if there are modern people around, they will be able to recognize that this is actually the shape of a convex lens.
Next, Li Min led Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng outside the house.
A piece of white paper was placed on the ground, and a convex lens polished with ice was placed on the white paper.
After sunlight passes through the convex lens, the convex lens will refract the light and condense it into a point.
Li Min adjusted the position several times, and soon the light spot appeared on the white paper.
After a short while, the white paper around the light spot began to zoom in, gradually deepening in color and turning into black.
Then green smoke arose, and soon a flame appeared.
