Steel Dynasty - Chapter 235

[Chapter 235 Difficult Teaching]

In an empty classroom of Bowen College, Luo Xin and Yue Yun sat down with all their people.

Xiao Ming was standing on the podium at this time. He looked at the people below and thought that he would probably live the same life as the teacher.

For him, it is now his advantage to popularize scientific knowledge as much as possible.

“This school will be the school of the Naval Academy from now on. When I notify you of classes, you will gather here.” Xiao Ming said to Yue Yun and others.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Yue Yun and others looked excited and answered with a particularly loud voice. How could they, the children of fishermen who fish at sea, have thought that they were qualified to attend classes in the school?

When they were children, they were very envious of those who could study in private schools, because once they could study, it meant that they would have the hope of becoming high officials in the future, while being unable to study meant that their fate would be the same as that of their ancestors, and that they would only be able to do so for generations. Is a fisherman.

“Naval Academy? Your Highness, then should our artillery also have an artillery academy?” Luo Xin teased.

Xiao Ming smiled and said: “Of course there is. The vacant room next door is the artillery academy’s classroom. After I give you the artillery aiming method, you will be responsible for teaching the artillerymen.”

“That’s true.” Luo Xin laughed.

This Bowen Academy is a very mysterious place to outsiders, because as an academy, it is guarded by guards and is as tightly guarded as a military camp.

And unlike a small house in a private school, Bowen College is very large. There are also many vacant classrooms in the college, and some of them are still under construction. When they passed by a school just now, they saw Lu Tong giving a lecture in a school. He was reading some weird knowledge, and sitting below were actually a group of scholars, which surprised him greatly.

Xiao Ming nodded. For the sake of convenience, Xiao Ming planned to build Bowen College into a comprehensive college. This was also to facilitate classes, otherwise it would be too much for him to just run back and forth.

And although many scholars have been admitted to Bowen College, based on the base number of Qingzhou scholars, this number is no more than a thousand.

Including technical personnel from the Land Communications Department, Equipment Department, Mines, and Military Workshops, as well as people from the Navy and Army in the future, the number is only over 2,000 people. In modern terms, it is basically the size of a middle school.

Therefore, now there is basically only one school for each major.

After designating this school as the school of the Naval Academy, Xiao Ming said: “Yue Yun, you said sailing is very simple, so I ask you, how do you sail on the sea?”

“Of course along the visible land Where to go?” Yue Yun looked matter-of-factly, with a somewhat proud look on his face, feeling that Xiao Ming also didn’t understand something.

Xiao Ming sneered.

This school is a brick-concrete structure, which is a modern tile-roofed building. He specifically asked to leave a blackboard in front of the school.

Basically, this school is not much different from modern teachers. At first, the craftsmen didn’t understand what a blackboard was, and Xiao Ming came over to give guidance to the craftsmen.

The blackboard in the school is actually very simple. It is just a smooth cement board. Just apply black paint on the cement board.

At this time, in front of Xiao Ming was Jihe chalk. The materials of the chalk were limestone and gypsum.

In order to facilitate teaching in the classroom, he specially asked people to use limestone and gypsum to make modern chalk. After all, this is not a complicated process, and it was produced by the way when making cement.

Picking up the chalk, Xiao Ming drew a large oval on the blackboard of the school, and then outlined the oval one by one. Twenty minutes later, an accurate world map appeared in front of everyone.

“Your Highness, what is this? A map? A map of where?” Luo Xin saw that it was a map, but he couldn’t tell where it was.

“This is a map of the world. This whole is called the earth. Now we live on the earth. Let me ask another question. Do you think it is correct to say that the sky is round and the place is round?”

Luo Xin grew up in a Confucian academic atmosphere. Growing up in the middle, he said: “Your Highness, you are joking. According to Confucian records, in “Dadaili. Zengzi Tianyuan”, Shan Juli asked Zengzi: “The sky is round and the place is true.” Zengzi said “The sky is round and the earth is not covered by the four corners. It can be seen that the sky is round and the earth is round.”

At this time, Yue Yun was silent. He had not received Confucian education, and the people in the fishing village were illiterate, and there was no one at all. Talking about it, he suddenly said: “Your Highness, ordinary people don’t know much about classics and history, but every time we see a fishing boat coming back, we always see the sail first and then the hull. If the land is flat, how can it be like this?”

Xiao Ming smiled and nodded. Luo Xin’s thoughts were deep-rooted, but Yue Yun was prone to suspicion because he didn’t study.

“The reason why you see such a scene is because the place we live in is round.” Xiao Ming concluded. Luo Xin burst out laughing when he heard this, as if he had heard a big joke, “Your Highness, I believe you

in

everything else. Forgive Luo Xin for being rude. Your Highness cannot just talk nonsense about things passed down from our ancestors.”

When he came up with this theory, Xiao Ming knew that he would encounter great resistance. Changing the thinking of an era was much more difficult than establishing an industrial system.

Therefore, he never thought about expanding the popularization of this knowledge, but only spread this advanced knowledge in Bowen College first.

But looking at Luo Xin’s look, he basically understood what kind of encounter he would have. This Luo Xin was just a military attache. If he told those pedantic scholars, they would immediately explode.

Sighing secretly in his heart, Xiao Ming thought that there was a long way to go to popularize scientific knowledge, and he had to be patient and withstand the pressure.

He said: “Luo Xin, you know a lot, then let me ask you, why is it that after you aim the artillery at a target and fire it, the impact point of the artillery shell is always slightly different.”

When talking about this question, Luo Xin hesitated and said: “Your Highness, this is the same as a bow and arrow. The arrows shot out will always fall, and the same goes for the cannonballs. Practice more and practice will make you perfect.”

“You know it but don’t know why.” Xiao Ming said with a smile.

Luo Xin scratched his head and asked puzzledly: “What else is the reason?”

Although Luo Xin also studied hard in the cold window, in Xiao Ming’s eyes, what he learned in ten years was only Chinese, so the articles of the ancients were beyond the reach of future generations. Also normal.

But in terms of mathematics, physics and chemistry, Luo Xin is no different from an idiot.

Of course, the artillery’s aiming is based on the parabolic principle. Today’s artillery basically uses the three-point-one-line aiming principle. Every artillery has a front sight and a rear sight.

But these sights were just for emergencies at the time, and their accuracy was not accurate. The reason why he called Luo Xin over was to teach him how to calculate the parabola and adjust the sight so that in the future the sight would be aimed at the point of impact calculated by the parabola, and he could just hit it directly. .
