"Magnet."
Guo Kang threw an iron piece at the top of the pillar, and it was sucked up with a bang.
"This circle of magnets is responsible for providing magnetic force - of course, this is an old version. Now that we have a better solution, it may be replaced during this time." He explained.
The visiting monks applauded together.
This device shocked everyone. The monks in the monastery were quite proud.
Dean John told them that this was actually a daily routine. They would use this lamp to illuminate the monastery several times every day. This is a religious ceremony and a unique way of worship for their order. It took them a long time to understand this thing. It is normal for outsiders to be surprised.
Of course, in addition to this, they also have many other studies underway simultaneously.
"Although these instruments are large, it is not difficult if you understand the principles." Guo Kang told everyone: "I will show you a few cases and you will understand."
He took a few people to a nearby cubicle. There was a table in the middle of the room with various utensils on it.
"This is the place for demonstration." He pointed to a glass tank filled with liquid and two metal pieces inserted into it: "This small tank has the power of electricity, so we call it a battery."
"Electricity in water?" Brother Dmitri asked keenly.
"To be precise, it's in the metal sheet." Guo Kang pulled over another battery: "Look, here, there are copper sheets and zinc sheets; here, there are copper sheets and iron sheets. The liquid inside is soaked in sulfuric acid. Electrode metal is formed.”
"Such a weak electricity cannot be seen directly with the eyes like before. Let's find something to detect electricity." He pointed to other large and small equipment: "Look, those are all fine."
"What are those?" The monks couldn't understand at all and asked one after another.
"Let's come one by one. Let's look at this electromagnet first." Guo Kang picked up a coil and handed it to them: "Be careful, this is quite expensive."
When the monks heard this, they all became cautious and passed it around as carefully as if they were holding a hardcover scripture handed down from their ancestors in the church.
In the middle of this thing is a pottery cylinder, with copper wires and strings wrapped around it at intervals, arranged from beginning to end. The rope and copper wire were brushed with oil, and the entire coil was wrapped in gauze.
After they finished passing it on, they returned it to Guo Kang. Guo Kang grabbed a handful of broken iron pieces from the box next to him and waved a coil on it a few times: "Look, there's no reaction, right?"
"Then I'll find an iron..." He took out an iron rod and said, "Look, there's no reaction, right?"
Guo Kang assembled them, connected the circuit, and the iron rod sucked up the broken iron. After the power was cut off, after a while, the iron pieces fell down again.
The priests looked at each other.
Guo Kang changed the battery and repeated it to them.
"Here, what kind of magic is this? Or is it alchemy?" A monk exclaimed.
"The Frankish Church knows that there is no magic in this world, and there can be no wizards in folk imagination, because all power comes from Heavenly Father." Guo Kang retorted using the rhetoric he just learned from Jeanne as a child: " These powers are, of course, manifestations of the Father—the same light as before.”
“When Heavenly Father created the world, His power also flowed out into the entire world, pervading every corner and thing, and existing in thousands of different ways.”
"You see, this iron piece and this zinc piece have the power of Heavenly Father inside them. As we use them for a long time, these metal pieces will dissolve and disappear, and other power and processes are needed to extract them again—— This is when their strength is exhausted.”
"Our battery converts the power in the metal into electricity, and the coil and iron rod convert the electricity into magnetism." Guo Kang pointed to a paper speaker on the table: "It can also be converted into sound. Or Like just now, transform into light.”
"It can even reverse the situation and drive the turntable." He took a wheel with a coil mounted between the magnets. After connecting the electricity, the wheel really started to rotate: "Look, this is the opposite of the situation just now. But the principle is the same.”
"Heavenly Father created this world, so all forces should have a common original state. This is what ancient philosophers called 'Oneness'."
He walked to a white wooden board standing next to him and wrote "Tai Yi" in Greek with a carbon stick.
"The Neoplatonists believe that 'The One' is God and the 'first principle'. The overflow of Tai creates 'Nus', which they call the 'second principle'. Aristotle calls 'Nus' It is likened to light, and is considered to be pure reason and wisdom. In our side, the holy light practice of many hermitages is aimed at this link."
He said, writing "Nus" again.
"Nus continued to overflow, producing the 'third principle' soul; the soul continued to derive, and there were various substances in the universe." He continued to write about "soul" and "all things": "This is the Greek version of Life and Two , Two beget three, three beget all things.”
"To put it simply, all these powers we have demonstrated." He waved his hand towards the table: "Including electricity, magnetism, human power, and mechanical power, in the end they should all be attributed to the same origin. I don't know what it should be called, So let’s call it ‘source power’ for the time being.”
"This source of power exists in the entire world, changing and flowing among all things. This is the purpose of the demonstration just now."
"I know that many people think that the current beliefs in Rome are too complicated, like polytheism, or some strange heresy. But after reading this, you should be able to understand."
As expected, the monks fell silent.
"Actually, the sages of the Roman Church have seen through this a long time ago." Lama Wang struck while the iron was hot: "In ancient times, we all believed in various gods. Those who represent thunder and lightning, those who represent power, those who represent light... But today we should You can also understand that these are all the same thing. As long as we all recognize the Heavenly Father, there is actually no need to worry about these incarnations, aspects, changes, etc."
"So, I have always advocated that harmony and cooperation can be maintained among various religious orders and sects. You see, in front of the origin, these trivial differences are so trivial and ridiculous."
"The sages Master Zhang and Master Yin were knowledgeable and had big things in mind. They didn't bother to worry about these trivial issues all day long. I'm not knowledgeable and I'm not afraid of everyone laughing, so I talk more. This time, please Mr. Guo to talk about these simple things. I’ll show you examples, and I hope everyone can learn wisdom from them.”
"Praise the Heavenly Father, and also praise the divine origin. I hope everyone can come into contact with the great wisdom in it." He made a sign of the cross with a whisk and said.
"Praise the Father," the monks responded in unison.
