The most bizarre scientific expedition in the Ming Dynasty, or in other words, the most bizarre scientific expedition in the history of scientific research, began to take place.
Because there are so many candidates taking the special examination on geophysics, no one can accommodate them in any room.
Therefore, the examination was held in the open-air Meridian Gate Square. The government was responsible for providing a table and a chair, and others were brought by themselves.
If you feel the sun is too strong, you can bring a parasol or wear a hat such as a hat.
Fortunately, it wasn't raining. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to conduct scientific research with an umbrella.
After all candidates verify their identity, they will be issued a number plate, and then they will line up separately according to male and female candidates, enter the examination room, and sit in order.
One thing to note here is that checking the identity and issuing number plates is the matter of the Ministry of Rites Yamen. It is the matter of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to guide the candidates to their seats.
Those who patrolled the field and invigilated the exams were soldiers temporarily transferred from the Beijing camp.
In fact, because the Meridian Gate is a square, it is extremely open and unobstructed. Therefore, the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the people from the six yamen watching from the sidelines can also see the conditions of the candidates in the venue.
In addition, the current emperor will personally visit the Forbidden City and watch from above.
Under such circumstances, if someone wants to cheat, all they can say is that they are extremely bold!
In the eyes of the students of the Ming Dynasty, there was not much complaint about the conditions for this kind of examination.
Because the ordinary scientific examinations they had experienced, even though they were held in the examination room, were still very painful. They ate and drank in the examination room.
On the contrary, the special examination on Physics only takes one morning, and even though it is in the open air, it will be over soon after gritting one's teeth.
According to the requirements, when candidates enter the venue, they cannot write their names directly, but fill in their own numbers.
Of course, you have to bring your own pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Before the candidates entered the venue, many chambermaids and maids filed out of the side door of the Meridian Gate and began to hand out test papers to each table, with a stone holding them down.
When candidates enter the venue, they can only sit down and wait for the bell on the Meridian Gate to ring before they can open their papers and do the questions.
When Xia Wanchun was queuing up to enter the venue, he deliberately scanned the pair of girls, looking for traces of the beauty.
When Xia Huiji and Xia Shuji saw him looking over and indicated with their eyes, they found that he had ignored him and was still looking around. They immediately knew that this younger brother (brother) only pretended to be one person in his heart.
No, when she saw Xia Wanchun fixed in a certain direction, Xia Huiji turned her head to look, and sure enough she saw Zhu Ye, right there.
"Sister, I think my second brother will definitely be a strict wife in the future!" Xia Huiji said with some dissatisfaction.
Xia Shuji, who was sitting behind her, heard this, smiled and reminded: "Be careful, the exam is about to begin!"
Soon, all the candidates were led into the venue and sat in their respective seats.
At this time, Xia Wanchun also became serious and did not look where Zhu Auao was.
He saw three test papers turned upside down on the table, and he could vaguely see that there were a lot of words in them, which was very different from ordinary scientific examinations. He had seen this before during the first test.
If it is the same as the initial test, it will consist of single-choice questions, multiple-choice questions, true-false questions, and application questions.
This is really the first time I have seen this type of question, but most people can adapt to it.
While he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a melodious "dang" sound from the direction of the Meridian Gate Tower.
Hearing this sound, most of the candidates hurriedly went to get the test papers and started taking the exam. Xia Wanchun heard the sound first and looked around, and found that the emperor seemed to be already on the fifth floor. Then, he gathered his thoughts and started taking the exam.
He read correctly, Emperor Chongzhen had indeed arrived at the fifth gate building. He did not let the candidates greet him, but only ordered the examination to begin.
The question paper for this special examination on geophysics comes from Liu Weichao.
According to Liu Weichao, he felt that no one in the Ming Dynasty could get full marks. The types of questions he mentioned were drawn from various question banks. Simple questions accounted for 10%, and ordinary questions accounted for 40%.
, difficult questions account for the remaining 50%, and the two additional questions on each paper are Olympiad questions.
Emperor Chongzhen was a little unconvinced by this. There were so many candidates in the Ming Dynasty, and they only covered the content of junior high school. Would anyone get full marks?
Liu Weichao has promised that none of these topics are beyond the syllabus, and are all in the ancient books on physics that have been published to the world.
So what about some Olympic competition questions? Since people of later generations can solve them, no one in the Ming Dynasty could solve them?
Emperor Chongzhen felt a sigh of relief in his heart, and even thought that if he drove over in a big way, it would distract the candidates, so he came over quietly.
He just wanted to see if there was anyone among this batch of candidates who could give him a boost.
Seeing the candidates in the square, who were all busy writing test papers, Emperor Chongzhen reached out and asked for a telescope from Wang Chengen, and then began to observe the candidates.
Gulu
He didn't know most of the candidates. Of course, there were some candidates he knew. Those he knew had all given up their current official positions to take the exam.
While he was watching, Concubine Tian Guifei, who had come with him, pointed at him and said, "Your Majesty, look over there, she is there!"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard the greeting, he put down his telescope and looked in the direction of Concubine Shimoda's finger. Sure enough, without a telescope, he could recognize at a glance that Zhu Yu'ao was working hard on the test paper there.
So, he smiled and handed the telescope to Queen Zhou on the other side and said: "Take a look!"
Queen Zhou heard this and did not refuse. She took the telescope and looked at it.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at her face with a hint of kindness unconsciously, and knew in his heart that the queen was actually very satisfied with Zhu Aelao.
Thinking of this, he turned to look at Zhu Yuyao, thinking to himself whether his daughter had found the one she wanted.
Originally, he could have asked the maids or guards who followed Zhu Yuluo. If he wanted, Wang Chengen could report Zhu Yuluo's every move to him.
However, once, when he was chatting with Liu Weichao, Liu Weichao said that he used to keep a diary to record what he did every day, but later he found out that his mother had peeked at his diary, which made him unhappy in the end.
Wrote a diary.
He said that although he knew that his mother peeked into his diary, it was for his own good, but he still didn't like his mother peeking into his diary.
It was because of this incident that Emperor Chongzhen never asked about the specific details of Zhu Yu's departure from the palace. Otherwise, it would have made him feel like Liu Weichao peeked into his mother's diary!
After all, I am the Ming Emperor, but I can’t be the same as Liu Weichao!
After thinking for a while, Emperor Chongzhen remembered something, so he took out his mobile phone and recorded a video of this spectacular special scientific examination on geophysics. He even zoomed in to take a closer look.
Then, he sent it to Liu Weichao. However, Liu Weichao didn't reply. He must be in class!
Emperor Chongzhen naturally would not keep watching, so he called Wang Chengen and started asking about political affairs.
As for Queen Zhou and Concubine Tian, they continued to watch the scene while eating snacks and the like.
Time passed slowly, and as many candidates finished the easy questions, various situations began to appear.
Some are scratching their heads from time to time, as if their scalp is itchy; some are rubbing their foreheads, as if they are rubbing out a lot of fried dough sticks; and some are constantly beating their foreheads, but are still unable to write...
Of course, there are also candidates who keep writing "swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe" all the time.
No, Concubine Tian ignored Emperor Chongzhen who was talking there, approached Empress Zhou, smiled and whispered: "Look at this girl, there seems to be no question that can stump her!"
Empress Zhou also smiled after hearing this. Her eyes were basically always on Zhu Aolao, and with the help of the telescope, she didn't see any sign that Zhu Aolao couldn't do it.
"I asked her if she has anyone she likes?" When Concubine Tian said this, she saw Empress Zhou immediately turned to look at her with a very concerned expression, so she continued, "This girl didn't say anything."
Queen Zhou was a little disappointed when she heard this.
But Concubine Tian immediately said: "But I can see that there should be some!"
"Really?" When Empress Zhou heard this, she was very concerned. Even Emperor Chongzhen, who was talking, turned his head and looked here.
"I can tell, I guess I won't say anything until the results come out." Concubine Tian smiled and whispered, "She is very high-spirited. If she only has a stinky skin, she definitely won't want it!"
"..." Queen Zhou was speechless after hearing this. She felt that her eldest daughter liked to follow Concubine Tian, and it seemed that she had similar personalities, but lacked a bit of dignity!
However, despite this thought in her mind, she still expressed her opinion: "The most important thing is that the two of them can live a good life!"
Even though she is a princess, her natal family is the most powerful in the world, but as a woman, she still feels that the most important thing is to bring the case together.
Thinking about her daughter's lifelong events, she began to observe the male candidates with a telescope, just to see who would be her daughter's favorite husband?
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly, a bell rang.
This is to remind candidates that there is only a quarter of an hour left in the exam.
When the bell rang, it was obvious that many candidates were a little panicked.
But in a public square, there was no point in panicking, and there was no way to take a peek.
Finally, the three bells of "ding, dong, dong, dong" rang, which meant that the special examination on the study of physics was over. All candidates must put down their pens when the bell stops, and they cannot take the test again.
The inspecting soldiers from the Beijing camp urged the candidates to put away their pens, inks, paper and inkstones, leave their test papers, and leave the examination room in order.
It has to be said that in this situation, under the supervision of the soldiers, the candidates were extremely efficient, and they had to leave the examination room regardless of whether they had finished or not.
After all the candidates in the Meridian Gate Square left, no one took away the test papers from their seats.
From the side entrance of the Meridian Gate Tower, rows of maids and chamberlains suddenly walked out again.
