Chapter 360 Our goal is the sea of stars
Shen Changgong didn't say anything. He threw the paper ball forward with both hands. The paper ball drew a parabola and fell to the ground, while the paper plane circled a few times and fell into the water.
“You see, things of different weights fall to the ground at the same time, but things of the same weight fall to the ground at different times.
You don’t know why this is so, but my physics class will give you the answer.”
Shen Changgong picked up another piece of rice paper and folded it into a paper boat, then said,
"Look everyone, this is a small paper boat, and this is a piece of paper. I put them into the water at the same time."
When the two pieces of paper were put into the water, the flat paper became wet immediately, but the small paper boat floated up.
Shen Changgong picked up two small pebbles from the edge of the pond.
"I will now place these two stones on it, and you can see the result."
The result was obvious. The flat rice paper sank immediately, but the small paper boat dragged the pebbles up and floated for a long distance before it sank to the bottom due to the weight.
“I believe many of you have been on a boat before. You all know that a boat can lift people up, but you don’t know why a boat can lift people up.
That's because water has buoyancy, and if this buoyancy is used well, it can carry people.
The buoyancy of water can lift people to the surface.
Similarly, the buoyancy of air can also lift people into the sky."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was instantly in an uproar.
"Impossible! Air is invisible and intangible. Even a piece of cloth would fall to the ground. How could it possibly carry a person up into the sky?"
"Since ancient times, birds have flown and people have walked. How could humans possibly ascend to the sky?"
"It's incredible, even more incredible than different weights landing at the same time."
"Your Majesty is just bragging, right?"
"That's simply impossible."
Everyone was talking at once, saying all sorts of things, and the argument was quite heated.
Shen Changgong looked at them calmly without any hurry, just glancing towards the east from time to time.
After a few minutes, something floated over from the east sky. Shen Changgong then stood on a rock and said loudly,
"Everyone, I know you think I'm just bragging, but what if I could really make people fly into the sky?"
"We are willing to serve the prince as our teacher for life, give up the imperial examination and become officials, and devote ourselves to studying physics, spreading the prince's theoretical ideas and taking them as our guiding principles!"
A student shouted loudly.
"Is it the same with other people?"
"Yes!"
Shen Changgong nodded with satisfaction and said,
"Okay, you will be the first batch of mathematics and physics students in our academy, and in the future, you will also be the first batch of teachers."
"Gentlemen, turn around!"
Shen Changgong shouted and pointed to the sky.
Everyone turned around at once and looked in the direction of Shen Changgong's finger.
I saw a black dot slowly flying over in the sky, and then it kept getting bigger.
"What is that thing? Why is it flying in the sky?"
"It doesn't look like a bird."
"It's a big thing, I don't know what it is."
"It's getting closer, closer, it looks like a person, it looks like a person!"
All the disciples exclaimed in surprise.
Everyone, including those from Jiutian Tower, was stunned.
Some elders of Jiutian Tower and others who were working in the building also ran out, staring at the scene intently, their jaws dropped in shock.
Not only the people in Jiutian Tower, but almost all the citizens of Shengjing saw that huge object flying in the sky that day.
There were even many ignorant people who thought it was a demonic act and knelt on the ground begging for mercy, or hid in their homes and dared not come out.
As for the disciples of the academy, after an afternoon of physics training, their ability to accept new things became stronger, and they knew that it was something created by the prince.
Gradually, they could see clearly that it was a huge piece of white cloth with a black dragon painted on it. It was the totem of Dayan, which came from the name of a river.
And below was a hanging basket with a person standing inside.
The man took out a very wide scroll from the basket, hung a bearing on the edge of the basket, and then threw it down. The scroll fell down and opened quickly.
There are four large characters written in a flamboyant style from top to bottom on the scroll.
"Long live Dayan!"
"It's our Dayan's stuff! It's our Dayan's stuff!"
"It's not a monster, stand up quickly, it's our Dayan's good stuff!"
"This is a magical artifact, a magical artifact. People can actually fly into the sky with it. Is there anything we can't do?"
"Dayan! Dayan!"
In Shengjing, countless people cheered.
They were all originally Kun people, but at this moment, they felt proud of Dayan.
Dayan was very kind to them. They gave them money and food, and did not require them to do labor service when building houses. They also paid them wages and provided them with meals, helped them find jobs, and restored the economy.
Now that it can carry people into space, what else can't Dayan do?
What? You mean Da Kun? What the hell is Da Kun? I'm from Yan! My ancestors have been Yan people for generations!
The hot air balloon flew over and approached Jiutian Tower. Shen Changgong could see clearly that the person on it was Mo Huang.
Mo Huang has always been in charge of the hot air balloon project. It has been almost a year now. At the beginning, it was because of the poor fabric. Later, Shen Changgong got the fabric from Fairy Mei Yan and gave it to the East Factory. After half a year, the hot air balloon was finally successfully developed.
The probability of a hot air balloon accident is very high. Shen Changgong instructed Mo Huang to send a death row prisoner to do this today. If he does not die, he will be acquitted, and if he dies, he will be dead.
But unexpectedly, Mo Huang actually came to control the hot air balloon himself.
This kid wants to show off in front of others.
Sure enough, after arriving above the Jiutian Tower, Mo Huang clasped his hands and shouted loudly,
"I, Mo Huang, an elder of the Mo family and inventor of the East Factory, respectfully wish Your Majesty a long life. I wish our Great Yan nation peace and prosperity, good weather, and good harvests. Long live Your Majesty!"
At this time, His Majesty the Emperor of Dayan had already moved to the top of the Jiutian Tower at the suggestion of Shen Changgong.
Yan Fuyao, who was dressed in a dragon robe and looked so handsome, was filled with heroic spirit when he saw this scene. He waved his sleeves and shouted loudly,
"All under heaven belongs to the king. All the people in the world are his subjects!"
"Dayan! Long live!"
Countless people below were excited and shouted in unison,
"Long live Great Yan! Long live His Majesty!"
"Long live Great Yan! Long live His Majesty!"
"Long live Great Yan! Long live His Majesty!"
People's throats became hoarse from shouting, it was so exciting.
This is our country, this is our pride!
It was not until the hot air balloon flew away that they gradually quieted down and all looked at Shen Changgong with fiery eyes.
Shen Changgong raised a charming and brilliant smile and asked,
"Who said before that humans can't go to heaven?"
The crowd roared with laughter.
"Listen carefully, everyone. Everything you've seen today is the application of physics. If you master this, you too can reach the heavens and the earth, and be omnipotent!"
"Our goal has never been just this world, but the vast sea of stars!"
