Seeing that the priests were still a little surprised, Guo Kang continued to give an example: "The Jewish scriptures say that their ancestors once wrestled with angels. The angels not only did not blame him, but also blessed him and gave him the name 'Israel' , meaning 'one who fights with God', commemorates this event."
"Look, wrestling with an angel once is enough to make you proud for thousands of years." He compared it: "What does it mean to withstand the flood and solve the divine punishment of God's annihilation? Use human power to solve the Tower of Babel. What’s the problem?”
Everyone couldn't answer for a while, but they thought it made sense.
The biggest problem with religion is that even the doctrines in the field of faith must be constantly tested by reality.
If the gap between it and reality is too large, people may initially think that the teachings are right but the world is wrong. But as time goes by, no matter how steadfast a believer is, he or she will start to murmur in his or her heart; no matter how knowledgeable the theologians are, they will also wonder if there is something wrong with the current interpretation of doctrine, and God will no longer protect them.
Therefore, after much thought, everyone could only accept this statement.
Guo Kang said that he would ask the church for help later and find some knowledgeable priests to finalize the vocabulary first.
He can indeed combine them at will, but he is not a grammar expert. Whether these new words can avoid ambiguity and facilitate popularization and use requires careful study. In order to avoid trouble and improve efficiency, it is better to find something professional.
"There are indeed some equipments. I don't even know what they are called." He continued to introduce the rest: "For example, these two balls here are used to discharge sparks."
He opened a window, pushed out the two copper balls that were close to each other on the window sill, and stretched them out together with the table: "Actually, you can put them inside the house, but the discharge will produce some toxic gases, so we usually put them outside the window. "
"And the circuit it is in must be connected to the sky and the ground." Guo Kang said: "This is not a metaphor. Look here -"
He pointed to the wall. There was a copper wire also wrapped in oilcloth extending out of the room and inserted along the wall to the ground outside.
"This is grounding in the literal sense." Brother Dmitri confirmed as he lay down at the window and took a look.
"What about Jie Tian?" asked another monk.
"On the top." Guo Kang pointed to the ceiling: "There is a wire going out from here, and then to the bronze statue of Brother Tian above our heads. This is to connect the sky."
"With the connection between heaven and earth, we can theoretically send messages to all parts of the world. This is also summarized in the wisdom of the East."
"That's it." The monks said with expressions of sudden realization: "No wonder the statue of Brother Tian above is a bit strange."
"Our machine is very crude, so we can't send it very far for the time being." Guo Kang pointed to several surrounding buildings: "But I have placed receivers in several major places. This is the kind of thing."
He picked up a box next to him. It contained the same devices as before, but it was much smaller.
"This is a pyrite ore. This thing is the core of the receiving device." He pointed and introduced: "Then this paper speaker here is the same as the one I showed you just now. It is very sensitive and receives The information here can make a sound.”
"This device has been adjusted. Let me demonstrate it to you."
As he spoke, he took the box and led everyone away. He also called a few monks working here and asked them to activate the "Lightning Station".
When the visitors all stood in the open space outside, Guo Kang waved towards the roof. After a moment, the box in his hand suddenly made a "zilla" sound.
The priests were no longer so surprised, but they still poked their heads around, observing the statue of Brother Tian and the room to see if there were any changes. But after looking for a long time, I didn't find any strange phenomena like Brother Tian shining.
"If we are close, we can see the electric light between the two copper balls. It's just that it's too bright outside during the day." Guo Kang explained: "This kind of information... you can understand it as using a very weak The lightning propagation is the same as the ones we just demonstrated."
"And the purpose of this thing." He raised the box in his hand: "It is to remind the user that a 'lightning' is coming. Our current technology is too backward and cannot allow it to carry sound. It can only mean 'yes' and 'none'. Of course, if you only send a short secret code, this is enough."
"For example, here, if lightning strikes five times in a row, it means the canteen is open for dinner. In this way, although it is very primitive, it is also possible to use lightning to convey information."
This time, the monks no longer had any doubts or disbelief. They all applauded to celebrate his breakthrough in research on source power and gods.
Guo Kang quickly said that there is still a long way to go in the future.
For example, the biggest problem now is that these things are bulky and inefficient. He was still very clear about this.
The facility at the top of this canteen is a very primitive spark transmitter, and its working efficiency is very low. There is no professional design in the antenna part - in fact, the current antenna is Brother Tian.
Therefore, this thing looks large in scale, but it can barely cover the monastery. He also told Tuo Huan, Wu Han and others that he hoped they would provide more materials for improvement and testing. As a result, Tuo Huan sent several cars of Slavic slaves over.
Tuo Huan told him that it didn't matter if the efficiency was low or the hair couldn't reach far. Although the craftsmanship level of the Purple Horde Khanate is not very good and many experimental equipment are missing, the most indispensable experimental equipment is Slavic slave labor.
Every time the Khanate went to war with other countries, it captured a large number of Slavic slaves. And unlike ancient Rome, it was difficult for the Purple Tent Rome to digest these slaves.
In Romania, a basic consensus is that Slavs cannot be used directly in legion manors. Otherwise, with their level of farming, it will simply destroy the land that everyone has worked so hard to cultivate. Anyone who uses them to work will be beaten to death by hundreds of households.
Agriculture and handicrafts these days are no longer like those in ancient Rome, which only required manpower. On the contrary, these are now all technical activities. The Purple Horde Khanate's production efficiency advantage over its surroundings is also provided by skilled agricultural technology. Slaves are no longer able to adapt to this situation.
You can't catch them and then feed them every day and teach them step by step to learn various professional skills until they master them, right? So who are the slaves?
Therefore, in addition to working as slave labor in various mines, most Slavs were directly resold.
Tuo Huan believes that so many slaves are in vain if they are not used. Since Guo Kang's scientific research requires a lot of slave labor, it's better to get more, since it's not expensive anyway.
The Romans were always good at catching slaves, so use this to your advantage.
In Guo Kang's original design, the previous giant shining brother was just a turntable pulled by an ox. If it could generate a few arcs, it would be considered successful. But Tuohuan waved his hand and said that the cattle were too expensive, so he should change them to Slavs.
He also felt that the scale of this thing was too small, and there was no sense of miracle at all. So, at his urging, Guo Kang could only continue to test and change the design, and finally it became the kind of thing that only fifty Slavs can promote now. A huge spectacle.
Regarding the issue of sending the report, Tuhuan has the same idea - anyway, as long as it is sent, the verification is successful, and then more slave workers can be put in to push it.
This thing was originally fixed, so I didn't expect it to move. In this case, it would be better to build a symbol on the level of the Lighthouse of Alexandria, and at most 1,000 Slavs to push the motor, to see if artificial communication lightning can be transmitted to the surrounding Greek cities, or even to the HRE.
Although this thing must be expensive to build, as long as it succeeds, it will definitely bring huge shock to the entire world of God Worshiping Cult and even Tianfang Cult. The religious and political significance has exceeded the scope of money. As for things like religious miracles, there is no need to consider cost performance and cost.
He also read the manuscript of the antenna pattern provided by Guo Kang and thought that the iron pot-like antenna was better than the cross. He is willing to try to persuade everyone to pay. As the name suggests, this thing can be called the "Lightning Lighthouse of Sex". This is much more valuable than this mess of little things now.
Unfortunately, the money for having sex is also limited, so this idea is only verbal for the time being.
