Chapter 6 Nan Ye first met Cai Wenji and accepted his apprentice Guanghua 2
The newly opened invention skills remind Nan Ye. As a time traveler, how can he not make some inventions and creations? Nan Ye, who likes the games of the Three Kingdoms, has also read many time-travel novels with the theme of the Three Kingdoms. He remembered that the protagonists of those novels can always easily invent gunpowder, glass, cement, soap, perfume, steam engine, steelmaking... and so on, and even airplanes and tanks.
Nanye knew that the glass seemed to be burned by sand, but he didn't know how to burn it. What about gunpowder? What else is saltpetre and charcoal? Sulfuric acid or sulfur?
It doesn't matter if you can't remember. Nanye still has a big move. As soon as his star collection skill came up, he sent a dictionary skill. Usually, he couldn't understand others saying that ancient Chinese depends on its translation. This invention is all available in the dictionary! But I don't know if I don't check it. As soon as I checked Nanye, I began to scold my mother.
Glass: a relatively transparent solid material, which forms a continuous network structure during melting, and the viscosity gradually increases and hardens during the cooling process. The composition of ordinary glass chemical oxides (Na2O•CaO•6SiO2) is mainly composed of silicon dioxide. It is widely used in buildings for wind and light transmission, which is a mixture.
Gunpowder: a black or brown explosive, which is mechanically mixed with potassium nitrate, charcoal and sulfur. It is initially made into powder, and later it is generally made into granules of different sizes, which can be used for different purposes. Before the use of smokeless gunpowder, it has been used as the only military launcher.
Nan Ye thought depressedly, "This explanation is really detailed, but who the hell can tell me how it was made?" Why can't you even give me a dictionary skill or something? Depressed, but this road of invention still needs to be taken. Otherwise, how can we reflect our advantages in traveling through the crowd? High-tech things can't be done, and simple objects can still be made. Isn't those magic props also an invention?
So during the three-day period, Nanye has been busy meeting guests and inventions. As for those people who want to learn from teachers, they are all blocked by him, and they will be told three days later.
As soon as the three-day deadline arrived, the people in Luoyang City gathered again before Nanye's ring. More people came this time than last time, and even the roofs of the surrounding houses and shops were full of people. This time I have seen Nanye's waist cutting alive before, and those who haven't seen it don't want to miss the opportunity. If it hadn't been for the Lingdi's special approval of Nan Ye's speaking here, I'm afraid that Captain Sili would have arrested him for gathering people to cause trouble, disturbing public security, obstructing traffic and other reasons.
The ring is still the same, and the color shed is still the original color shed, but the red silk banner on the shed has become the "Science Avenue". The vertical frame of red silk on the four-corner shed column has also become "South Ye, a saint of Western Avenue".
With the experience of the last speech on the stage, Nanye is not very nervous this time. He said to the people under the stage, "Fathers, the three-day deadline has come. If no one can solve the first question today, I, Nanye, will accept apprentices to come up with another question."
Everyone under the stage, look at me, I look at you, no one knows how to cut off living people but make people immortal. Nan Ye secretly congratulated that Emperor Ling did not have the bad habit of private visits, otherwise that person would not have let go of this opportunity to stand out on stage.
Seeing that no one was talking under the stage, Nan Ye asked again. After making sure that no one came to the stage, he said, "Since no one can solve this method, I will accept apprenticeship today. Before that, I will talk to you about what science is. Science is truth, science is empirical, the source of immutable things, absolutely correct knowledge, and true knowledge in the universe. To give the simplest example, I said that birds have wings and can fly, which is science. I said that people can fly with wings, which is unscientific.
The people laughed when they heard Nanye's example and said, "Then this science is too simple!"
"If according to Master Nan's words, I also know a lot of science."
"That's right, I also know that horses have four legs and run faster than people. Isn't it also a science?"
After hearing all kinds of comments in the ring, Nanye smiled and said, "Fathers are always right. The way of science is not far from our lives. Everyone who believes in truth can be said to be a disciple of the Avenue of Science, so everyone on the stage understands science and can also use science, but their understanding of science is different.
The way of science seems simple on the surface, but it is not. Everyone knows that birds have wings and can fly, but if you ask why birds have wings and people don't, I'm afraid many people will know. The same is true of the first question I came up with. Everyone knows that cutting off your waist will definitely die, but is it reasonable to cut your waist and die? I'm afraid few people know about it.
The people under the stage nodded and said yes after listening to Nan Ye's words.
Nan Ye continued: "There is a nursery rhyme that sings well in my hometown: thunder will rain, umbrellas when it rains, wear cotton-padded jackets in winter, and fans in summer. Science is so simple. Why is it thundering and raining? Why is there winter and summer? There are thousands of mysteries that I don't know, and science is simple and not simple.
Today, I am here to teach the way of science not to make you believe in me, but to make you believe in truth, believe in science, and master more scientific principles. If anyone wants to learn from me today, raise their right hand.
When everyone heard that Nan Ye was about to start receiving apprentices, Hulaquan raised his right hand. Nanye knew the distress when Liu Bei recruited soldiers. This apprenticeship is the same as recruiting soldiers. It is not enough to have fewer people, and it is also troublesome to have more people. There are at least tens of thousands of people present, and Nan Ye has no intention of rebelling. Why do you accept so many people? It seems that the conditions need to be improved.
Thinking of this, Nanye said, "Fathers, it's not only a day to practice science. I, Nanye, can't raise many disciples, so this matter still depends on fate. Please listen to me. There are five kinds of people who will not accept it today.
The first one, those with bad conduct will not accept it. The way of science is like a double-edged sword, which can be good or evil, so those who have bad conduct will not accept it.
The second one, those who can't read will not accept it. There are many difficulties in the way of science. When practicing, you need to take notes to understand more, so those who are illiterate will not accept it.
The third kind, those who do not work will not accept it. I don't collect money, so I can't support many disciples, so those who can't support themselves don't accept it.
The fourth kind is that officials in the dynasty will not accept it. Officials should put the kings and the people first. They are busy with daily affairs, and I'm afraid they don't have time to listen to my lectures, so they can't accept them.
The fifth kind, those with poor understanding will not accept it. The way of science is not for everyone to learn and achieve success. If you have a poor understanding, it will be futile to spend time, so you can't accept it.
Nan Ye's five kinds of people put down their hands. Articles 1 and 5 are not stuck with many people. After all, few people will think that they have bad conduct or poor understanding. Two, three and four are awesome. If you have no money, no leisure, or can't read, then don't come at all.
In fact, the most powerful one in Nanye is not the middle three, but the fifth one. Understanding is illusory and invisible, and the final right of interpretation is not in Nan Ye's own hands.
Nan Ye looked at more than 100 people who were still raising their hands, and estimated that he would come for the interview. Then he said, "Please put down your hands. After I finish the second question, if you are interested, go to the city west inn to look for me. At that time, I will see if you have any understanding to learn my way.
Hearing what Nan Ye said, everyone also felt that it was reasonable, so they put down their raised hands one after another. Only a woman in white was different and still held her right hand for a long time. She was not conspicuous when everyone raised their hands just now, but at this time, Nanye saw the woman at a glance.
Because the woman was wearing a veil, Nan Ye couldn't see her face clearly, but she was still a very beautiful girl from the picturesque eyebrows. I just don't know why this girl wears plain clothes and dresses up as a woman. Does it mean that she doesn't object to her coming here to worship her family?
Nan Ye, who was very curious, asked in the direction of the girl in white, "What else does this little lady have?" Why don't you let go?"
When the girl heard Nan Ye ask, she replied softly, "The slave family wants to ask the mage if she can accept the woman as an apprentice?"
