Ren Hong had seen a picture in his previous life: the painting depicted a bald man standing in the wind and rain, his eyes looking at the sky covered with dark clouds overhead.Behind him were several assistants, one of whom was pulling a long string to fly the kite high into the air, and a metal key hung from the long line wet with rain.When lightning strikes the kite, the current conducts down the kite string, and the bald man reaches out a hand and approaches the key, and something resembling electricity flashes between the two Benjamin.
Benjamin Franklin, the bald guy printed on the $100 bill, was the protagonist of the kite experiment.But this experiment, even if true, must be very different from the version that has been circulated, because the direct lightning strike of that lightning is enough to kill anyone on the spot.Later generations repeated this experiment, trying to prove that it was a rumor, Ren Hong also watched the show, and finally confirmed that even if this was true, it was not lightning that really led down, but an electric charge in the sky.That's what Ren Hong wants: to prove that the electricity in the sky is the same thing as the electricity that is generated by friction on the earth.Where does he dare to play with lightning, the real thunder and lightning voltage of 100 million volts is not something that a small human can capture at all.Accurately locate where the lightning hits, this is a problem that future generations can not solve, Ren Hong's small county TV station lightning rod has been erected for decades, and it has never been struck by lightning.As for the climatic weapon of precision-guided lightning strikes, if invented, it must be one of the greatest weapons of the 21st century.And the chance of being hit by flying a kite is even more remote.But even so, Ren Hong still received countless admonitions that were either kind or intimidating."
The thunder will speak, and those who do not refrain from tolerating it, and those who are not prepared to give birth to children, there will be a calamity.""
The word is all about Shen, Shen Zhi, God also!
If there is a swift wind and thunder and even rain, it will change, although the night will be prosperous, and the gentleman will sit on his clothes, how dare he blaspheme it with a flying kite?
”Even Su Wu persuaded him: "Daoyuan, you also said that in the middle of summer, thunder and lightning are fast, breaking trees, destroying rooms, committing murder, and making thunder false criticism of doctors and Confucian students, why let people risk their lives, if not, I am afraid that they will be ruined, and even punished by the imperial court." ”But Ren Hong decided to complete the experiment anyway.Because all the future success of mankind comes from these stupid things that are completely meaningless in the eyes of Confucianism and the government!"
Just let me be the first stupid person."
It's just that after the experiment began, Ren Hong and Yang Yun and others, who supported him, encountered many difficulties: making kites that could fly high enough, kite strings that were suitable enough, and recruiting warriors who were willing not to be afraid of thunder and lightning, who were willing to take this risk, and who wanted to have a clean family background.After all this is put together, you have to keep chasing dark clouds around Chang'an.In addition, it is a cold winter wax moon at this time, which increases the difficulty of the test, even if the kite string is wet, it will quickly freeze.The water vapor on the kite was frozen and became heavier and heavier, so Ren Hong said that he had dug a big hole for himself.When he led a few people to quietly experiment, he had actually succeeded once, successfully channeling the electric charge from high altitude, and touched it with livestock, far from the level of electrocution.But when I tried it in public, it failed five times, either because God didn't help, or because the kite didn't fly high and fell, and I had to change the kite constantly.In the past few days, more than a dozen silk kites that Ren Hong asked carpenters to make have been sold out, and the surroundings of Chang'an are gradually becoming clearer.But the Confucian scholars would never let go of this opportunity, they would publicize Ren Hong's defeat, and the imperial court was forced to punish him, perhaps.Ren Hong could only stare at the sky and secretly pray to the great Mother Earth: "I don't dare to play with lightning, I only ask you for a little more insignificant, one ten-thousandth of an electric charge." ”The clouds had accumulated so thick that it had not rained or snowed for a long time, and although there had been no lightning or thunder in the sky, some of the charges had been generated in the air, so that the slightly moist kite string was visibly static, and the two keys hanging on the kite line were creaking.This is good news, Ren Hong and they noticed this scene, got up and walked over, and the Confucian scholars who were still laughing at Ren Hong also stood up one after another, followed by Xiahou Sheng's disciple Jia Donzhi, Liu Ziyong and Huan Kuan who learned from the ram Spring and Autumn were also among them, and they didn't believe in this evil.In mid-air, nature rides the night breeze and beckons her children: dust, ice crystals and water droplets, all in one place.They rub against each other, and positive and negative charges collide with each other screaming joyfully.Soon, the rolling dark clouds covered the sky, and the blue electric light flickered in the dark clouds that were very low, illuminating the dim earth, and then there was a shocking thunder!
The woods swayed and crawled in the wind, succumbing to the majesty of the thunder, the static electricity in the air grew stronger and stronger, and as the kite was blown by the wind, some of the charge passed down the wet kite string."
There it is!"
You Panda is one of the people who volunteered to fly a kite, and in addition to the thick fur suit, he still wears the dazzling panda cape.As in the previous flukely successful experiment, he felt the hairs under his clothes suddenly stand on end, and although the thick linen gloves act as insulators to eliminate most of the current, the two keys have been erected strangely, and there is a crackling sound of electric sparks.You Panda struggled to manipulate the kite so that it did not fall, and laughed loudly, as if he had caught a cunning woman in the mountains and forests of Wugong County, playing hide and seek with him."
Xi'an Hou, I caught her again!"
In the eyes of Ren Honghe and the crowd of onlookers, You Panda's figure at the moment was very strange, and his whole person was flashing and shining in the electric charge, looking like he was playing with thunder and lightning, and the roaring thunder and howling wind could not cover his laughter.Everyone stopped more than ten steps away and did not dare to step forward, shocked by the scene in front of them.Zong Zheng Liu De, who made a special trip to follow Ren Hong on the order of the general, and wanted to be a witness, rubbed his eyes to make sure that he was not mistaken.Liu Yiji was slightly surprised, remembering that when he combed his wife's hair according to Lei Xu's words last night, the electric sparks beating on the comb, the electricity in the sky and the electricity on the ground, are they really the same thing?
And Zhao Guanghan, who wanted to see if Xi'an Hou could bend foolishness like Ximen Leopard, stroked his beard and laughed.Everyone's three views were greatly shocked, and the Confucian doctors looked at each other, opening their mouths but not knowing how to evaluate them, until someone muttered."
We haven't seen a thunderbolt caught!""
How fast and swift is the thunderbolt, even if it is caught, how can it be seen by the naked eye?"
Ren Hong also wrapped himself like a rice dumpling, and pointed at the two keys that had been completely erected with thick linen gloves: "It is locked in that key, if anyone doesn't believe it, go up and touch it!"
”More than a dozen doctoral disciples and virtuous scholars who came with him stepped forward, so Ren Hong laughed: "Aren't you claiming to die at night when you hear the Tao, in order to prove your morality, you are not afraid of all difficulties?"
What's more, this amount of electricity is only one ten-thousandth of the lightning on the clouds, and the electricity does not kill people. ”The Confucians were stimulated by it, and some people really stood up."
Luoyang native Jia donation, willing to give it a try!"
It was Xiahou Sheng's disciple, Jia Donzhi, who first advocated abandoning the Pearl Cliff because of winter thunder.The people behind him dissuaded again and again: "Junfang, don't go, in case it's true" "Ranye, after we went back, we said that we didn't see the lightning at all." ”Someone has already thought of a foolproof plan, no matter what happens, just don't see it, isn't it just that the martial artist flashed a burst of blue light around him, and the key on the kite line was erected, and the word "lightning" was written on it?
Jia Xianzhi shook his head and said in a low voice: "Zongzheng Liu De is here, Zhang Chang, the Weiyang stable official, and hundreds of people who are watching the excitement are also there, and everyone is watching. ”"If it can't be confirmed that the lightning is not in the key, my division commander's theory of heavenly and human disasters will probably suffer a heavy blow!"
He resolutely stepped forward, Ren Hong looked at the majestic Confucian crown above his head and said: "It is worthy of Jia Sheng, I have always admired Jia Yi, but I pity the front seat in the middle of the night, and I don't ask the common people to ask the ghosts and gods."
Now that his great-grandson Jia Junfang really wants to take risks to defend the theory of ghosts and gods, don't you feel ashamed and afraid?
”Jia Donzhi laughed: "My great-grandfather's doctrine, I understand better than Xi'an Hou, the country will have the defeat of the way, and the sky is the first to come out of the disaster to condemn it, I don't know how to introspect, and I am strange to be afraid of it, I don't know how to change, and I am even injured."
Heaven and man have sensibility, and he has nothing to fear of being a superior person, but this is enough to quit it.The disaster is in response to the wish of the common people!
”"Don't worry about Xi'an, in the past 20 years, I have devoted myself to reading the books of sages and sages, learning scriptures, and I have never made a single mistake, nor have I ever had a yin history.A few days to bathe and change clothes, every thunderstorm and snow, will be dressed in clothes, eat and drink clean before going out today, bath and change clothes.He has not offended the wrath of heaven. ”He squinted at Ren Hong: "If the sky wants to split, it should also split the demons to confuse the people, why be afraid of donating it?"
”After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and stretched out the two keys hanging on the kite string with great righteousness, ready to pinch and untie them, exposing Ren Hong's fallacies.But the next moment, his hand was gone.A shocking scene appeared, accompanied by a faint spark that crackled, a trace of residual bright arc, from the key into Jia Xianzhi's fingertips, his whole person suddenly convulsed and retreated, falling straight to the ground!
This is indeed one ten-thousandth of lightning, but it is far better than the faint charge caused by friction, Jia Don's heartbeat stopped for half a beat, fortunately he did not die, and came back to his senses under the call of everyone, only to feel that his entire left arm was numb and trembling."
Junfang, your crown!"
Under the reminder of others, Jia Don modeled the top of his head, only to find that his tall and beautiful Confucian crown was actually lifted by the hair that stood up violently at the moment of electrocution, and now it fell on the muddy ground, trampled under the feet of the cheering crowd.And the kite of the swimming panda finally fell to the ground after a gust of wind, covered with a layer of ice crystals, and was already overwhelmed.Anyway, there were no dead people, and everyone didn't care about Jia Don's feelings, under the leadership of Yang Yun and Zhang Chang, they rushed up, surrounded Ren Hong and You Panda in the center, and sang a paragraph of Shanglin Fu loudly."
The white deer, the cunning rabbit, the red lightning, the glory.Chasing monsters, out of the universe, bending weak, full of white feathers, shooting wandering owls, oaks and dragons.Capture the purple electric and dedicate the Son of Heaven!
