Chapter 192 was in an uproar


Just when Wu Yuanqing and Wang Xuance were teaching the earthen buns of Eastern Rome how to use tall chopsticks, Broken Leaf caused an uproar because of an article by several people, so much so that Li Lu had to personally come forward to solve the matter.One of the people who caused this turmoil is named Lu Cai, this Lu Cai is not simple, he was born in a humble Shu family, he was studious since he was a child, and he was a self-taught thinker, scholar and natural scientist who was not taught by a famous teacher.He has a wide range of interests and hobbies, including the Six Classics, astronomy, geography, medicine, cartography, military affairs, history, literature, logic, philosophy, and even the five elements of yin and yang, turtle yarrow, calendrical calculations, and elephant opera.He gradually became famous for his profound knowledge and versatility, and some famous officials and bureaucrats such as Wei Zheng and Wang Qi greatly appreciated his "academic wonders".When he was thirty years old, he was recommended by Wen Yanbo, Wei Zheng and others to Li Er to enter the Hongwen Pavilion, and the official residence was Dr.

Taichang, Taichang Cheng, and the prince was the eldest doctor.But this Lu Cai is not a stable master, after he heard that Li Lu set up a university in Broken Leaves, which has a lot of scholars from other countries, Lu Cai is very eager to understand the thoughts of these foreign scholars, and he learned that Broken Leaf University has the most accurate astronomical instruments in the world, especially after learning that Li Lu made people come up with an astronomical telescope that can be called a contemporary black technology, his heart is like a cat's claw, so he saw an opportunity, left Chang'an, and came to Broken Leaves.When he came to the observatory of Broken Leaf University and saw the astronomical telescope of his dreams, the whole person was excited, "Hahaha, what did the old man say, there are no gods in this world at all..... well, what are the concubines and jade rabbits on the moon?"

”Lu Cai looked at the moon above the starry sky, and muttered in his mouth, "The old man has long said that everything that has a line is produced from the invisible vitality......

Lu Cai's impression of Li Lu is very good, and he supports Li Lu's statement that practice is the only criterion for testing the truth proposed by Li Lu's illusory master, and he also believes that the laws of objective things are mostly born in concrete things, and theory comes from practice; He also believes that the reason for the development and change of the material world lies in the contradictory movement of the two opposing forces of yin and yang within the material world.

In addition, he has always opposed the innate epistemology of innate knowledge, and regarded learning as the only way to acquire knowledge, and he practiced it.After exchanging views with them, especially after learning about the "heliocentric theory" proposed by Aristarchus and Heraclitus, the more Lu Cai thought about it, the more he felt that this "heliocentric theory" was very correct, and it happened that the Broken Leaf Observatory had very sophisticated astronomical instruments, and he wanted to turn this "heliocentric theory" from a hypothesis into a real hammer in Broken Leaves.Lu Cai told Li Chunfeng, who was also conducting astronomical observations at the Broken Leaf Observatory, about his thoughts, but he was resolutely opposed by the other party: "Zhang Pingzi said that the sky is like a chicken, the celestial body is round like a projectile, the earth is like a chicken in the yellow, living alone in the sky, the sky is big and the earth is small..... how can the sun be the center of the universe?"

”Li Chunfeng was revising the "Imperial Calendar" on Li Er's orders, and now at the most critical moment, Lu Cai ran over and said to him that Hun Tian was not right, the sun is the center of the universe, isn't this looking for trouble.When Li Chunfeng communicated with those Greek scholars in Broken Leaves, he knew the "geocentric theory" put forward by Ptolemy, and Lao Li recognized Ptolemy's "Astronomy" very much, man is the spirit of all things, and the place where the spirit of all things lives must be the center of the universe, Lao Li plans to learn from Western astronomical knowledge to modify the Chinese calendar, so that he can also leave his name in history, so that Lu Cai said to him that the "heliocentric theory" naturally hit a wall, and Lu Cai saw that he couldn't convince Li Chunfeng, He left a sentence, "I'll let you know who said it wrong....."

The fact that the solid earth is moving was very difficult to accept in ancient times, because the ancients lacked sufficient observations of the universe, and most astronomers still had a human-centered concept, which led them to mistakenly believe that the earth was the center of the universe.And Ptolemy's geocentric theory system can be very consistent with the observation data at this time, so the geocentric theory is widely accepted by the public, and even Fries and Rollo are also loyal fans of geocentrism.However, Lu Cai also has a few die-hard fans of "heliocentrism" from Persia, but when using astronomical telescopes to observe celestial phenomena, they found some new astronomical phenomena that are not conducive to the old Aristotelian cosmology and Ptolemaic system, which in turn can support heliocentrism, and they found that the craters of the moon are not as perfect as the ancients imagined, there are no gods or rabbits, and there are sunspots on the sun.

Originally, he had always suspected that the sentence in the Han book "In March of the first year of Emperor Chengdi Heping, the sun rose yellow, there was black gas, as big as money, and the sun was in the center" was false, but now it has proved the correctness of the history books, and the discovery of the Ganymede system directly shows that the earth is not the only center, and the discovery of the complete phase transition of Venus also exposes the errors of the Ptolemaic system.This made Lu Cai and the others very happy, and he and the diffuse difference, who also believed in the "heliocentrism", and the astronomer from Persia, Nassin.

Jabalitaem and others worked together to produce an article called "Heliocentrism", which was published in the journal "Nature" funded by Li Lu, and several scholars who believed in the "heliocentrism" proposed that the earth is not a round place, but a spherical shape, and their basis is that if a light source is placed on the top of the ship's mast, when the ship leaves the shore, the people on the shore will see the light gradually decrease until it disappears, and only the spherical earth will appear in this situation.They called the earth the earth, and they thought that the earth was moving, and that it rotated in twelve hours.Because the sky is much larger than the earth, it is inconceivable that the infinite heavenly dome is rotating and the earth is not moving.At first, they all thought that this circular motion should be a perfect circle, but after careful observation, Lu Cai determined that the earth did an irregular circular motion, and he called this irregular circumference an ellipse, but unfortunately he did not find the laws and equations of this elliptical motion after all his efforts.The reason why they have made great progress is because the diffuse difference is the descendant of the Tianzhu astronomer Ayabata, who proposed the theory of the sun based on gravity as early as the late fifth century, which was a full thousand years earlier than Copernicus.When Lu Cai and the others used astronomical telescopes and other precision astronomical instruments to come to the conclusion that they were similar to Ayabata, Midori and the others expressed great admiration for the astronomer's ability to come up with near-perfect results of celestial movements and predict solar eclipses using only crude tools.The publication of heliocentrism caused a great wave of exaggeration, "What is the absurdity of the existence of a common center for all celestial orbits or celestial bodies; The earth is clearly the center of the universe....."

Luo Luo didn't care about teaching Li Dingguo, he immediately published an article in "Nature", refuting the "heliocentric theory" made by Lu Cai and the three of them, not only Luo Luo, Frees, Li Chunfeng, and even some bigwigs of the Daomen, even several missionaries of the Jiyou Sect who lived in Broken Leaves sent articles to "Nature", and they all strongly questioned this "heliocentrism".In the end, this matter is getting bigger and bigger, and it has developed to the point that the "Nature" magazine can't bear it, they are all big guys, they can't afford to provoke it, they finally stabbed this matter in front of Li Lu, when looking at Lu Cai, diffuse poor, and Na Xin.

When Jabalitaem and the three of them jointly signed the "Heliocentric Theory", Li Lu was almost scared half to death, God, how did these three people come up with it?

How can it be more correct than Comrade Copernicus's conclusion, Li Lu knows the formula for calculating the elliptical orbit, he couldn't help but smile after seeing that Lu Cai and the three of them discovered the elliptical orbit of the earth, but couldn't find the formula, "You guys are still a little bit worse than me...."

Li Lu looked at this "heliocentric" article in the "Nature" magazine, he understood the meaning of this "heliocentric theory" very well, such a hot potato, only he can take it down, although this "heliocentric" still has a lot of flaws, like the sun is not the center of the universe, but the center of the solar system.The earth is not the center of gravity, and any movement seen in the sky is not all caused by the movement of the earth, Li Lu knows this, but he just doesn't say it.In Li Lu's view, as long as he does a good job of publishing this "Heliocentric Theory", he will be able to open the door of modern natural science, and when the time comes, he will not only pave the way to modern astronomy, but also open up a new era in which the entire natural science will move forward.Thinking of this, Li Lu suddenly had an idea, if the King of the Ring Sun can hold an uncovered conference, then he can also open a hundred pulpits, right?

When the time comes, let Lu Cai explain the heliocentric theory on the pulpit, and it is also necessary for him to intervene in this matter, because as a traverser, he understands the meaning of the "sun-centered theory" too well.
