Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

Zhao Yuan then stopped in his tracks.

He gestured for the teachers and students behind him to come forward.

As the crowd gathered around...

Zhao Yuan took a gold nugget and a silver nugget from Shi Yong's hand and laughed.

"This gold brick is the same size as the silver brick,"

"They're both solid, are they the same weight?"

Chapter 1735 Conducting Experiments

Qin Hui immediately replied, "Gold is heavier than silver."

"Jin Zhong."

"Of course, gold is heavier."

Everyone had gotten used to Zhao Yuan's free teaching style and began to speak up.

Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "That's right."

"Gold nuggets are heavier than silver nuggets,"

"Look, do you think I've tampered with anything?"

As he spoke, he handed the gold and silver ingots in his hand to Qin Hui.

The gold and silver nuggets were no bigger than a fist.

It is quite heavy.

Qin Hui took it.

Then his wrist sank,

The hand holding the gold nugget felt noticeably heavier.

Several more people were notified.

Zhao Yuancai gestured for them to relay the message back, and laughed.

"Are there any problems with these gold and silver nuggets?"

"They are the same size,"

"But one is light and the other is heavy."

"If they were all thrown down from the tower at the same time,"

"Which will land first, the gold nugget or the silver nugget?"

"Or perhaps they'll land at the same time?"

"Naturally, the heavier ones will land first."

"The gold nugget landed first."

"The gold nugget landed first."

.....

The voice just fell,

The students then offered their answers.

They all said in unison that the gold nugget would land first.

Seeing that Qin Hui remained silent, Zhao Yuan smiled and said...

"What do you think?"

"The students' first reaction was that the gold nuggets would land first,"

"But King Liang demonstrated this experiment in front of everyone,"

"Perhaps the outcome will not be what everyone expects."

Qin Hui also knew the status of the King of Liang.

I asked him for advice several times in private.

He then claimed to be Zhao Yuan's student.

Zhao Yuan saw that Qin Hui was studying diligently.

There was no objection.

As for Qin Hui's motives,

He didn't seem to care.

Having mastered both literary and martial arts,

Goods supplied to the imperial family,

This was the opinion of most scholars.

Zhao Yuan wanted to use Qin Hui to spread mathematics and physics.

Give Qin Hui the identity of a disciple of the King of Liang.

This would be more conducive to Qin Hui's dissemination of knowledge.

If Qin Hui had done well,

Zhao Yuan didn't mind letting him become an official in the future.

Those who truly pursue scholarship,

They are extremely rare, both in ancient and modern times.

Qin Hui's answer,

Although somewhat cunning

However, he did not hide his thoughts.

It doesn't make people feel disgusted.

On the contrary, they felt that Qin Hui was honest.

Zhao Yuan smiled.

He took a wooden box that resembled a drawer from Shi Yong's hand.

Place the gold and silver nuggets in front.

Then push the wooden planks behind.

"Look, push this plank,"

"The planks will slowly push the gold and silver nuggets forward,"

"It can guarantee that the gold and silver nuggets will fall out at the same time."

Do you have any questions about this?

The crowd gathered around to take a look.

The wooden planks holding the gold and silver ingots, as well as the planks that were pushed, were all neatly aligned.

This ensures that the gold and silver nuggets are pushed out of the wooden board together.

Then it fell.

After thinking about it,

They all nodded and said there was no problem.

Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "If we conduct the experiment right here,"

"Because both objects are falling at high speeds,"

"They'll all be on the ground in the blink of an eye,"

"So it's hard to tell the order."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Zhao Yuan pointed to the iron tower and said, "But what if you throw two balls down from the iron tower at the same time?"

"If their speeds are different,"

"Such a great distance should be enough to determine who is ahead, right?"

"It's like a race between a person and a horse,"

"At the beginning, they might be evenly matched,"

"But as the distance increases,"

"A person can never outrun a horse."

these days,

Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Wu have also been studying Zhao Yuan's mathematics.

To them,

Simple numbers are of great use in both military and political affairs.

Xu Guanzhong reviewed Zhao Yuan's experimental report that day.

He went back and took a test.

As long as the experiment is rigorous,

They really did land at the same time.

However, he obviously wouldn't reveal this result beforehand.

To reduce the impact of Zhao Yuan's experiment on people.

Everyone thought the gold nugget would land first.

The experimental results, however, surprised everyone.

That's what makes it exciting.

If there is a dispute,

There will always be a winner in the end.

The experiment was therefore less impactful.

Zhao Yuan saw that no one had any objections.

He then said to Shi Yong,

"Take them up to the fifth floor of the tower,"

"Upon seeing my signal, he pushed the wooden board."

The thirteenth floor of the iron tower is over ten zhang tall.

Two objects weighing several tens of kilograms were thrown down from a height of more than ten zhang (approximately 33 meters).

Its power is no less than that of a trebuchet.

At that time, there will inevitably be stones flying everywhere.

It's hard to guarantee that someone won't get hurt.

Therefore, Zhao Yuan chose the fifth floor.

"Yes!"

The abbot of the Iron Pagoda Temple listened attentively to King Liang's eloquent speech.

Now that he understood the purpose of King Liang's visit, he hurriedly said...

"The stupa enshrines the relics of King Ashoka Buddha,"

"I urge King Liang to allow people to freely enter the Iron Pagoda, as this is disrespectful to the Buddha."
