Facing the completely open door of the academy, all the people looked at each other for a long time. No one stepped forward. They all felt that if they violated the cultural context of the academy, they would be guilty...
Facing the invitation from the academy students again, the old sea merchant stepped forward and handed over his hand, "Thank you to the academy for giving ordinary people this eye-opening opportunity. It is better for ordinary people to be respectful than to obey!"
After saying that, he turned sideways and entered through the side door.
When other people saw it, they also saluted and entered through the side door. The common people would rather squeeze through the narrow side entrance than dare to enter through the main entrance.
This caused a phenomenon at the entrance of the academy. No one passed through the large main entrance, but the side entrances on both sides were crowded with people.
When you walk into the academy, you will see a straight road lined with various flowers, plants and trees.
When a group of gentlemen greeted the people just now, the people had already seen the appearance of this road clearly, so they were not surprised.
After they walked through this road, they saw three different roads. There is an arrow sign next to each road, marking the three directions of the School of Physics, School of Mathematics, and School of Chemistry respectively.
There are students standing at every road intersection to accept inquiries from the people.
Someone didn't know which way to take, so he stepped forward and asked, "May I ask this..."
"The School of Physics is over here, directly opposite the School of Mathematics, and over here is the School of Chemistry. Wherever you want to go, just follow that road. There are such instructions at every intersection in the academy. If you are literate, you can just follow the signs, so you won't get lost in the academy. There are students at every intersection to give directions, and if you are illiterate, you can just ask."
Despite the student's explanation, everyone was still very hesitant.
The student continued to explain: "Each college has prepared all kinds of novel things for you. I won't reveal them below. It will be more profound if you see them with your own eyes. Perhaps what attracts you the most is that this time the three award winners have prepared for you. Demonstrate their knowledge. If you want to see Senior Brother Yang Qing’s big pendulum, you can go to the School of Physics; if you want to see His Highness King Lu demonstrate the wonders of material change, you can go to the School of Chemistry.”
The student's patient explanation was well received by the people, who nodded in agreement.
At this time, someone suddenly asked, "Huh? Sir, why don't you talk about the School of Mathematics?"
One of the three courtyards was missing. This was so obvious that it was noticed immediately.
The student smiled faintly, "Senior Brother Yu Qian directly created a discipline, which is naturally the most worth watching. However, this mathematics is too profound, and even the lower class can rarely understand it. Everyone... everyone You can also go to the School of Mathematics, they have also prepared many interesting questions for everyone, which is also very good!"
Not only did the student's words not arouse the slightest resentment among the people, but they nodded in agreement with great belief. In the eyes of the common people, these students are all literary stars who have descended into the world. Even if they don't understand the knowledge, it will be in vain for them to read it.
However, no one gave up the idea of going to the School of Mathematics. Instead, they all made up their minds to visit the other two places first and finally go to the School of Mathematics.
Without him! The more mysterious it is, the more it arouses people's curiosity.
As for the left and right sides, go to that side first...
The people immediately voted with their feet and crowded into the Institute of Physics on the left.
no way! Although it must be very miraculous to demonstrate the wonders of material changes in the School of Chemistry. But when people thought about the "reincarnation of grains", the prince himself demonstrated it to them...
Uh, how should I put it? Everyone sniffed their noses subconsciously, as if they smelled a familiar smell.
In the square at the entrance of the Institute of Physics, more than a dozen tables were lined up in two rows, extending from the intersection to the entrance of an attic. This attic was the building used by Yang Qing to conduct pendulum experiments, and it was specially built for him.
When people come here, their steps can't help but slow down.
The students at the first table saw it and quickly extended their hands to greet everyone, "Everyone, please look over here!"
As he spoke, he took out a few small wooden sticks and a heavy weight with a long string wrapped around it.
Hearing his cry, the people immediately became curious about the purpose of
Come.
While showing the things in his hands to everyone, the student said, "I will use these three wooden sticks to hang this weight on the edge of the table. Do you believe it or not?"
When everyone saw that the wooden root in his hand was only an inch long, they all shook their heads.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"That's right, this hookless, holeless, short wooden stick doesn't even have anything to rely on. How can it be possible to lift the weight?"
The student knew that no one would believe it, so he smiled complacently and said, "Then just keep an eye on it!"
As he said this, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the student took out a stick, pressed it on the edge of the table with his hand, and then put the weight's rope on it.
Everyone watched the student's movements with wide eyes and curiosity, not wanting to miss any movement.
The student places the second wooden stick horizontally to spread the rope, and then supports the third wooden stick on the first two wooden sticks.
Then he turned his head and looked up at everyone, and said with a smile: "Everyone, watch out, it's time to witness the miracle!"
After saying that, he carefully raised his left hand.
As his palms left the table, everyone was surprised to find that the wooden stick lying across the table was firmly stuck to the table as if cast by a spell, hanging the entire weight in mid-air.
"Wow..."
"This, how is this possible..."
"This is impossible! Impossible!"
Everyone couldn't believe their eyes, but they had to believe it. Because the weight is indeed suspended in mid-air by a small wooden stick without any support.
"Here, what on earth is going on?" Someone pointed at the weight and asked cautiously.
The student raised his chin slightly and clapped his hands together, "This is the principle of leverage in physics!"
With that said, Balabala explained it clearly, and he didn't care whether others could understand it or not. After all, the people here today are ordinary people, not to mention the classmates who usually listen to his talk.
Fortunately, the people were listening, and someone started to applaud. This applause was like a command, triggering a burst of continuous applause in just a few breaths.
The student also smiled cheerfully. To be honest, before he demonstrated, he had thought that the people might not understand, which made him a little worried.
But now, it is no longer important whether the people understand it or not. Being able to get applause from the people is the best reward for his research results.
Seeing the first one was so magical, the people's interest in the academy greatly increased, and they couldn't wait to go where the other students were.
As people dispersed into the square, it became lively.
In front of a table, there are also students standing behind the table. However, what was different from other students was that he held two foot-long sticks, one transparent and one dark.
