So what if I traveled through time? I'll continue to roll in another place

The length of the sermon at the autumn banquet is limited, so Zhou Yao plans to start with an introduction on gravity.

The law of gravity can be verified in real life and has a relatively low threshold for acceptance. Universal gravitation involves astronomy and is also something that the ancients could understand. Xiao Yueshan started with myths and legends and prepared to revise Zhou Yao's lecture notes into a classical Chinese version.

While reading Zhao Ji and studying Qiu Zhuo's history books, she had already found a point of entry. The thought of this world grew rapidly after Queen Yang traveled through time, but before that, the ideological development of the entire world was equivalent to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

However, the state of a hundred schools of thought contending with each other was quickly ended by the fine Confucian thoughts brought about by Queen Yang's time travel, and other academic disciplines did not have time to develop.

On the contrary, many people who cannot accept Confucianism still retain many primitive worships because they have not been influenced by the Confucian thought.

The first part of "Zhaoji" records many true and false legends about gods and ghosts.

The Records of Zhao Dynasty - Biography of Empress Yin of Taizu records that "The owl is brave and gives birth to all things at night. It spreads its wings and flies back to the stream, conquering the four directions. The earth gives birth to all things, it plows the green valleys, the ground carries all people, and the generations give birth to old women." The early Zhao people worshipped a bird similar to an owl, and at the same time had the most primitive worship of the land.

They believe that everything can move during the day, but everything needs to hide at night. The quiet night breeds unknown and uncontrollable life forces, and only the most powerful creatures do not need to hide in the dark. Birds, which are invisible during the day and bright at night, have the powerful power to conquer the night and connect the earth.

According to historical records, Taizu Chu Guoding's original wife, Queen Yin, should have been a great witch, and most likely the hereditary old woman worshipped by people.

Before Empress Yang appeared, this woman who may have possessed mysterious witchcraft occupied a large amount of space.

There are many parts about witchcraft in "The Biography of Queen Yin of Taizu". In their story, the Yin family was in charge of sacrifices, divination, summoning souls and exorcising ghosts. They combined culture and religion in one, which was equivalent to the high priest. They were the most important role in communicating between heaven, earth and people at that time, and they were also one of the decision makers of national affairs.

Because the Earth Mother was worshipped in the early Zhao Dynasty, the high priest of the Yin family has always been a woman. According to legend, the ancestors of the Yin family formulated a calendar to guide production and engage in farming, and they held a very high status in the kingdom.

It can be said that before Queen Yang came to prominence, Queen Yin was the most noble woman in the kingdom.

Empress Yin's given name was simply "Yun". According to legend, she could call the wind and rain and bring the dead back to life.

When Chu Guoding attacked the Ye Kingdom, he was led into the poisonous miasma by Ye Falcon, the general of the Ye Kingdom, who pretended to be defeated. They were poisoned and died. Later, the general Ye Falcon died, but Yin Yun performed a ritual to save Chu Guoding.

The story of the king coming back to life and the queen having boundless magical powers was so miraculous that the people believed in it and flocked to Dazhao.

Chu Guoding's warring capabilities and the mysterious appeal of the Yin clan helped the Chu clan unify the continent and laid the foundation for the sacred legality of the Chu clan's Tianming clan system.

After Yin's death, Crown Princess Yang Shuyao directly grafted the entire worldview of the real world onto Zhao Dynasty.

Da Zhao evolved from worshipping the land and owls to the Golden Crow, a divine bird well known to the Chinese people, which gave birth to all things. The emperor naturally became the son of heaven.

Yang Shuyao believed that the miasma in the poisonous swamps contained anesthetic substances that could poison people and put them into a state of suspended animation. They could be saved with proper rescue. Gradually, no one mentioned those popular mythological stories anymore.

As we all know, gravity is a derivative of Newton's law of universal gravitation, which is the force of attraction between all objects with mass. This force of the earth on other objects is called gravity, and the direction of gravity on other objects is in any direction.

After Xiao Yueshan's changes, the natural law of gravity became the mysterious and mythical law of the Nine Heavens, the Three Lights and Seven Governments, and the movement of the stars.

According to this mythological worldview, the lecture starts with life phenomena such as why people stand on the ground instead of in the sky and why things thrown out always return to the ground, and deduces to the movement laws of the sun, moon and stars. It focuses on gravity and centripetal force, and proposes a method for estimating the mass of celestial bodies.

Xiao Yueshan called it "the old woman holding the center" and "the fairy magic to weigh the stars", that is, people and objects can stand on the ground because there is a powerful old woman pulling at the center of the earth, and gravity is the fairy magic to measure the weight of the stars.

Zhou Yao was amazed after reading it. "This is simply a collection of classical Chinese translated from Chinese to English, English to French, French to Spanish, Spanish to Persian. It has been so modified that even Newton himself would not be able to recognize it."

This lecture may be somewhat mediocre in the humanities and social sciences, but it seems very strange in the natural sciences. Traditional mechanics has been transformed into traditional mythology.

Xiao Yueshan raised her eyebrows and joked, "Do you think it's so easy to check for plagiarism in your paper?"

Zhou Yao was still immersed in this bizarre theory of cyberpunk science creating gods. "No wonder Newton firmly believed in the existence of God and thought that science and religion could go hand in hand. This stuff seems to make sense."

Seeing that even Zhou Yao said so, Xiao Yueshan became worried, "Are we taking a step backwards in natural science? They finally stopped primitive worship and entered the feudal society, but we are suddenly back to the ancient times."

"Never mind. I'll take this to Xiao's father and hand it in. I won't hand it over to the Hanlin Academy then." Zhou Yao just wanted to perfunctorily appease Xiao Zheng and get away with it if he could.

The deadline for submissions was almost here, and Zhou Yao brought their cyberpunk works to Xiao's house for Xiao Zheng to review.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zheng was greatly shocked after reading it, "Yao'er, how can you have such a strange and open-minded idea! Since the founding of the Taizu Dynasty, no one has mentioned the legendary things, the old mother holding the center, the immortal law balance the stars! Wonderful! Really wonderful!"

Huh...?! Are you serious?

Zhou Yao and Xiao Yueshan looked at Xiao Zheng in shock.

"It's a rare masterpiece with beautiful words and extraordinary imagery! And it explains actual phenomena, so it's not empty talk!" He said excitedly, "I will personally deliver your speech to the cabinet!"

Uh... How can it not be considered a unique imagination and gorgeous language? She also used many poems by Li He...

"Father, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to deliver it personally. I'm afraid people will gossip about it. I'd better hand it over to the Hanlin Academy myself." Zhou Yao said in his dying struggle.

"Hey! No one should avoid relatives when selecting talents. With your speech, even if the whole court is selected, no one can say no!"

Xiao Zheng forced them to leave behind their theological, religious, scientific, and poetic works... Xiao Yueshan and his wife could only leave awkwardly and helplessly...

What should I do?
