"Junhou, this...is this really something that Gongshuzi researched in the past?"
In the official office of the Young Mansion, the white-haired leader Qin Mo, Xiang Lidun, was holding the paper in his hand that was trembling.
Next to him stood a fat Zhu Xia Shi. It was Zhang Cang who had accepted the emperor's order and came to compile the Book of Workers and Farmers with Marquis Wugong. He also had a surprised look on his face.
"Absolutely true."
Zhao Tuo nodded seriously.
He said: "There is a saying in the Mo Jing that 'when a scene arrives at noon, there is an end and a length of scene, it is said that it is at the end', and there is also 'strength, which is called weight'. This is exactly the principle of optics and mechanics that Mozi has discovered.
After Gongshuzi failed in the battle with Mozi in the past, he felt depressed and determined to study this aspect more deeply on the basis of Mozi and surpass Mozi."
"Therefore, over the past two hundred years, through the explorations of Gongshuzi and his successors in the past dynasties, more fruitful results have been achieved based on Mohist optics and mechanics, and they have even dabbled in a series of principles of physics, acoustics, etc."
"too strong!"
Zhang Cang praised: "According to what Junhou said, Mozi developed small hole imaging, and its principle is to use the linear propagation of light. Gongshuzi further studied and discovered the refraction and diffraction phenomena of light, so this is why
With the invention of the telescope. In addition, Gongshuzi also studied the propagation principle of sound, discovered the echo phenomenon, and then created a speaker that can amplify sound. He also studied density, temperature and other issues to improve smelting technology.
.”
"Oh my god, this male loser is truly a god!"
With every compliment from Zhang Cang, Xiang Lidun, a descendant of the Moh family, turned paler.
Who is Gongshu Zi Luban?
A craftsman who was defeated by Mozi two hundred years ago. Although he was famous and created powerful war instruments such as ladders and hooks, he has always existed as a loser in the Mohist classics.
Lu Ban is a clown used to set off Mohist morality.
But with the birth of Zhao Tuo, everything changed.
First, the giant cannon showed its power in the Battle of Yan, showing a terrifying power that surpassed all weapons of this era. Then paper, the three treasures of the cavalry, the telescope, and various other creations such as stepping stones, water hammers, and bellows appeared one after another.
Each of these things has magical effects.
With the support of the emperor, paper-making workshops have been opened all over the world, and officials in every county are using paper to write and transcribe and handle official business.
The Three Treasures of Cavalry played a huge role in the Northern Expedition and were equipped on all the cavalry of the Qin State. I heard that even the barbarians outside the Great Wall were imitating them using materials such as wooden strips and leather.
As for other things that can improve productivity and efficiency, they are constantly promoted throughout the world under the power of the government.
The world uses public goods!
And what about these descendants of Mozi who had defeated Gongshuzi?
I’m afraid no one will mention it in a few years.
Xiang Li sighed secretly.
Their group of Westerners has been serving the Qin State and is under the control of the Shaofu.
Therefore, when Wugong Hou created those Gongshu creations, they, the Mohists, also participated in it and contributed a lot of effort, fully aware of the magic of those creations.
However, despite being amazed, the Mohists still tried their best to maintain their dignity.
"No matter how great Lu Ban is, he is just a craftsman. He can create wonderful things, but he has no written books and no systematic explanation. He is not as good as Mozi in this regard."
This is the rhetoric that Mohists often use to comfort themselves.
But today, the last dignity of Mozi's disciples was shattered by what Zhao Tuo wrote.
Optics, mechanics, acoustics, thermal...
Each system is explained in detail and has corresponding examples.
Even Zhao Tuo has used some of these principles to create giant cannons, trumpets, telescopes and other objects, proving the correctness and practicality of Gongshuzi's research through practice.
"Gongshuzi devoted himself to studying the principles of all things, discovering, researching, summarizing, and finally applying them to practical applications. Gongshuzi's idea is to create practical objects that can help all people in the world and truly improve them by thoroughly understanding the principles of all things.
The life of all peoples!”
Marquis Wugong's voice still echoed in Xianglidun's mind.
They, the Mohists, had ridiculed Gongshuzi before, leaving no systematic theory or guiding ideology.
Now when I hear Wu Gonghou say this, Gongshuzi’s ideological level is so high!
He actually wants to use physical objects to improve the lives of all people. This is truly caring about the world.
Xianglidun looked complicated and whispered: "Since Gongshuzi's lineage has such a heritage, why has it been silent for the past two hundred years? Since he has the thoughts of serving the people of the world, Gongshu's successor can use water turbines, bellows, etc. to benefit the country.
Come out with good things that benefit the people and benefit the world."
Zhao Tuo shook his head and said: "I don't know the specific situation. It may be that the Gongshu people saw the disputes and wars among the countries in the world, and they had mastered various military and national weapons. They thought that giving them away might cause a bigger war and make the world
The people are suffering even more, so they have been silent. Perhaps they want to wait for a situation like Qin that can unify the world."
Zhao Tuo gave a "guessed" answer, which left people speechless. After all, Zhao Tuo said he didn't know clearly.
Xianglidu's expression changed again and again, and finally he sighed: "Gongshuzi is a wise man. It seems that some of the contents of our Mohist classics need to be revised."
After saying that, Xiang Lidun saluted Zhao Tuo again and said: "The emperor has issued an order to start the Gongshu School and compile a book of hundreds of Gongs. In this matter, we Mohists will definitely assist you with all our efforts and carry forward the methods of Gongshuzi and Mozi."
Zhao Tuo smiled.
The reason why he talked so much to Xiang Lidun was precisely because Qin Mo belonged to the top group of physics talents in the world.
The Mohists were not only great at inventions and manufacturing, but the Mohist school they inherited contained early physical theories about optics and mechanics, which made it easier for them to accept the knowledge developed by Zhao Tuo. They could help Zhao Tuo compile Baigong textbooks, and in
He served as a teacher and other positions in the newly established engineering school.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhao Tuo believes that the Mohists will work very hard, because the textbooks compiled will include the physics content in the Mohist Scriptures. To a certain extent, it can be regarded as official help
They promoted the doctrine and carried it forward.
With Qin Mo as the leader, Xiang Lidun, and Zhang Cang, who was proficient in mathematics as assistant, the contents written by Zhao Tuo from the Gongshu fragments were quickly sorted out and compiled into a book called "Physics".
Work textbook.
"Physics is the principle of all things."
When the textbook was compiled, Zhang Cang stroked the word "physics" written on the paper and admired: "What a good name from Junhou. It's just two words, but it contains everything."
Including everything?
Zhao Tuo smiled slightly, thinking that this was still far from enough.
The Baigong textbook compiled this time is mainly based on the physics that Zhao Tuo learned in middle school in his previous life.
It is divided into five parts: acoustics, optics, mechanics, thermal science, and miscellaneous science.
It mainly covers junior high school content and is not complicated.
Thanks to compulsory education and a large number of question-and-answer tactics, Zhao Tuo remembered most of these things, so it was not difficult to copy them.
As for miscellaneous studies, it includes some content on magnetism and materials, as well as a large number of examples of equipment manufacturing.
If people in this era study the entire physics textbook carefully and then pass the corresponding practical and theoretical assessments, they will definitely become an outstanding craftsman with scientific literacy.
It is definitely better to place these people as engineers, engineers and other officials in charge of various industries in various counties and counties than to many laymen who rely on their titles.
There are so many benefits to doing this. It can not only improve Qin's national power, but also make the spread of science and technology faster.
More importantly, Zhao Tuo compiled a set of systematic physics textbooks, which were officially supported and promoted by the imperial court, and were studied by craftsmen all over the world.
If we talk about optics and mechanics in the "Mo Jing", they are the seeds of science.
So Zhao Tuo planted a strong sapling this time.
Zhao Tuo looked at the physics textbook in his hand again, whispering in his heart.
