Knowledge changes destiny, and technology determines the future. Regarding this, Wan Lei has a clear understanding and clear thinking. He spares no effort to develop science and education in order to cultivate talents and technicians. However, education is a long-term investment and there is no short-term gain.
.
What’s even more annoying is that the new textbooks that have been worked so hard are difficult to accept for a while because they are too “non-mainstream”. Take the earth as an example, people think that since the creation of Pangu, the sky has been
That is, a round place is square, and the Central Plains is the center of the world.
We cannot even accept the fact that the earth is spherical, let alone the heliocentric theory.
How can students actively and unquestioningly accept new knowledge? This is the problem that Wan Lei urgently needs to solve. And to do this, it is necessary to prove that the new knowledge is true knowledge, but it must be proved one by one.
If you want to go out and prove that the theorems and laws you wrote are the truth, I'm afraid you won't have to do anything in this life. If you can quarrel with others as a debater, you might even be beaten for heresy.
When thinking of this, Wan Lei couldn't help but think of Bruno who was sent to the stake for promoting the heliocentric theory. Although the Ming Dynasty did not have the practice of condemning people to death for promoting science, after thousands of years of feudal history in the Central Plains, the people were almost fooled.
, just like the villagers living in a quiet valley of ignorance and living a "happy" life.
In the eyes of these villagers, the eternal mountains meander in all directions, and the stream of knowledge flows slowly along the deep and dilapidated valleys. It originates from the barren mountains of the past and disappears into the swamps of the future.
This stream is not as turbulent as the river, but it is more than enough for the villagers with shallow needs.
Although this metaphor is simple, it makes one point clear: people are afraid of change when they are "self-sufficient". This self-sufficiency also includes self-sufficiency in thought. Even if the beliefs they have are wrong, childish and ridiculous, they will
They will also be clingy and conservative, and will even stone anyone who points out their mistakes.
Wan Lei does not want to be a so-called martyr, but it is urgent to popularize scientific ideas, because if the feudal superstitious ideas of the ignorant people are not changed, science and technology cannot be developed, and science and technology cannot be turned into advanced productive forces.
How can we overthrow feudal superstition without harming our lives? After tossing and turning in the middle of the night, Wan Lei finally came up with a method, which was also a method that had been used before, which was to fight fire with poison and use feudal superstition to defeat feudal superstition.
.
As for the specific operation, that is to constantly praise the sages in history and give them the title of prophet. Even Master Meng once said: "Heaven gives birth to the people, so that they can perceive first and then know, and make them aware first and then aware."
It can be deduced from this sentence: In order to let the people live a happy life, God will arrange for prophets to come down to earth and bring all kinds of "advanced" knowledge to the people.
Since prophets are the "messengers" of God, it is always right to listen to their words. As for the prophets of Taoism, Wan Lei has already identified candidates. Of course, the first generation includes Lao Tzu, and the second generation is Dao Ling, the first generation leader of Taoism.
, the third generation is Li Chunfeng in the early Tang Dynasty.
Wan Lei chose these three people as prophets. In addition to their reputations (Li Chunfeng is Li Shimin's counselor, a Taoist priest who is proficient in astronomy, calendar, feng shui and numerology, and a knowledgeable Taoist priest), the more important point is that their lives are about six hundred years apart.
, and six hundred years have passed since Li Chunfeng, and it is natural that another prophet will be born. As for who the new prophet is, Wan Lei just played a riddle and let others guess anyway.
Of course, no matter how others guess, they will never guess it.
Having made up his mind, Wan Lei got up early, washed a handful of noodles, had breakfast to replenish his confidence in deceiving others, and then came to Laboratory No. 2. However, today he did not talk about physics, chemistry, and biology. As soon as he came up, he praised him in various ways.
I went to Laojun and praised the chief Zhang Tianshi, and even praised Li Chunfeng endlessly.
In Wan Lei's words, these three people are the greatest Taoist prophets in the past two thousand years. Prince Laojun wrote the "Tao Te Ching" and laid the ideological foundation for Taoism; Zhang Tianshi founded the sect and established the organizational foundation for Taoism; Li Chunfeng studied heaven
Man is an expert in astronomy, calendar, astrology, and arithmetic, and he is the first to master the art of studying and attaining the Tao.
Hearing Wan Lei's recitation of "Theory of God", the group of little Taoist priests below were stunned: Yesterday they devalued Taoism as worthless, why did they suddenly change their gender today?
Just when the little Taoist priests were confused, Wan Lei continued to carry forward the spirit of talking without drafting, and then deceived: "Since the creation of the world by Pangu, the earth has experienced billions of years. Billions of years of evolution and reproduction,
Countless creatures
Destiny flourishes and fate perishes, and human beings stand out. Emperor Pangu saw the wisdom of human beings, so he incorporated the Tao into all things for humans to find. If humans can find the most righteous path among all the dharma, they can achieve righteousness and ascend to heaven.
, immortal."
"However, among all living beings, some are ignorant, some are eager for quick success, some are arrogant and self-proclaimed immortals to deceive the world and steal their reputation, but they don't know that searching for the small path of all things is the basis of the great road. They are just blindly pursuing mysteries and making lies. This is like seeking a fish based on a tree. In reality,
It deviates from the mainstream of seeking the Tao. In order to regulate people's pursuit of the Tao, the heaven is limited to more than 600 years, and prophets will be sent down from time to time. From this, we can see how kind the heaven is to our generation. If we don't follow the teachings early and return to the right path early, we will only be in the future.
I’m afraid it will be too late to regret.”
Wan Lei's deception, coupled with his expression of hatred for steel, made the seven Taoist priests below all become nervous and frightened, as if they had made some huge mistake if they didn't study the Taoism. I'm sorry to God, I'm sorry to Earth,
Even Zhao Xueer, who usually loved to argue with Wan Lei, kept her mouth shut and did not dare to raise any objections.
After a brief moment of surprise, Miao Yi was the first to come to his senses and asked: "Sir, how did you learn about these heavenly secrets?"
"Wan is not talented, but I don't know why he knows this." Wan Lei frowned and continued to lie with a grimace.
"Sir, since you know the secret of heaven, then, is there a prophet coming to the world now?" Wongyu asked anxiously with his eyes wide open.
Wan Lei pretended to pinch his fingers and said: "It has been six hundred years since the death of Prophet Li, so it is time for a prophet to come to the world."
"Then who is the current prophet?" As soon as Miaoyu asked, everyone looked at Wan Lei, wanting to know the answer.
"I don't know about this. But one thing is for sure. The new prophet will be like Prophet Li. He has great talents and knows the way of all things."
"Has he a talent that reaches heaven and knows the way of all things?" All the Taoists looked at each other, and finally focused their eyes on Wan Lei.
"Don't look at me like that. I have little talent and little knowledge. I'm far from being a genius, let alone saying that I know the way of all things." Wan Lei waved his hands repeatedly, but the little guys below took his words as nothing.
I became more humble and more convinced that he was the so-called prophet.
Wan Lei really admired his acting skills after he got to this point in the play. It seemed that he was not afraid of losing his job in the future. If he really couldn't survive, he could still become a charlatan. Based on the understanding that excessive modesty is pride, Wan Lei coughed.
, said: "The history is over, now let's start the lecture. Today we will talk about elementary physics, gravity and celestial systems."
Different from the chattering yesterday, at this time, the seven Taoist priests below were all sitting in the most upright postures and listening to the lecture with the most solemn expressions. Wan Lei talked about the incredible things that the earth is a ball, the earth revolves around the sun, and the sun revolves around the Milky Way.
Although they frowned when they learned the knowledge, no one refuted it, they just remembered it all in their minds.
But no, Wan Xian has great talent and teaches the way of all things. If he doesn’t accept the teachings with an open mind, he will be a Taoist sinner in the future. Of course, Wan Lei hired an invincible substitute teacher in the name of a prophet.
Teacher, you don’t have to face a hundred thousand whys anymore.
Of course, Wan Lei doesn't just talk in class. From time to time, he will also stimulate students' divergent thinking, such as the size of the earth, the distance between the moon and the earth, and the distance between the earth and the sun. These are all
It's up to them to calculate.
In order to let the students learn to calculate, Wan Lei also taught some algebraic knowledge and the conversion of some measurement units in the classroom. Under the "torture" of this cramming teaching method, Zhongxiaodao's brains are bigger than the two.
More than ten pages of notes were written down. The Zhao family, who had been peeking at Xiao Meimei outside, disappeared and they all hurriedly stepped aside for fear of being dragged into the classroom.
After finishing the lecture on astrophysics, lunch time was almost here. Seeing that it was almost done, Wan Lei announced some homework and said that he would check it tomorrow morning. He already regarded them as the most miserable middle school students. However, these guys did not complain.
After lunch, she came back to do her homework obediently. Even Zhao Xueer, who is naturally hyperactive, rarely stayed in the classroom to review her notes honestly.
It was Miaoyi who made the fastest progress. She chewed her pen for a while and finished a few exercises. However, when the senior sisters and brothers wanted to ask her to copy their homework, she refused to do anything. She was so strict with the law that she was even more strict than a lawyer.
Wan Lei couldn't help but think of those study committee members who collected homework.
"Perhaps, we shouldn't push them so hard." Seeing these hard-working children, Wan Lei felt a little unbearable, and then shook his head, "If you don't advance, you will retreat. Now that the West has embarked on a Renaissance, if you don't brave the wind and waves,
, we will fall behind and be beaten from now on. In order to benefit future generations, we can only suffer a few of them."
However, their hardship is nothing. Those students will complain about it in the future. Forget it, they have to learn Chinese, mathematics, physics, chemistry, geography, history, and politics. They also have to learn chicken intestines. That is what they complain about. Wan Lei thought about getting up in the middle of the night to memorize vocabulary words.
After seeing the tragic past, we are even more determined to make Chinese civilization lead the world and not let future generations learn Jichangwen again.
ps: It’s finally chapter 100. Let’s celebrate. The update will resume normally tomorrow...
