Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 341 Zhang Hua generously said the way

Hearing Zhang Hua's question, Zhao Wang blinked first, then his face turned redder and redder.

The group of Confucian scholars who originally wanted to see Sun Xin and Zhang Hua joke, even Zong Ze and Su Yuanjing were all stunned.

What is how to calculate it?
How do they know how to figure it out?
I have already explained the truth to him clearly, so do they need to do the calculations themselves?
And Zhao Wang, who was standing on the stage, was paralyzed by the question.

He didn't know how fast and slow Ying Huo Xing should go according to the laws of heaven, why would he turn around in circles in the sky for no reason?

It should be that if someone in the lower realm does something wrong, he will go around in circles, right?

But trying to think about it according to Zhang Hua's question, Zhao Wang immediately knew that he couldn't answer like this.

Zhang Hua in front of him already showed an inquisitive look, and Zhao Wang basically figured out the other party's way of thinking, and after a little thought, he realized that if he said that the people from the lower world had done something, Yinghuo would turn around, then Zhang Hua would ask what to do. How big a circle should he turn, and in what direction should he turn?Is it up or down?Should it turn in the southern sky or in the northern sky... how could he figure it out!
And the Confucian scholars were all sluggish, and then Zhao Wang showed an expression of indignation, how could he ask such a question?
Doesn't the ingenious theory of "one part of reason is different" not surprise him?
This guy's behavior is almost a blasphemy of this subtle truth!What an unreasonable person!

"When you ask questions like yours, what knowledge is there in the world?"

Zhang Hua didn't feel that he was questioning the other party at all, he shook his head and said, "Scholarship is naturally done in this way."

Zhao Wang was also angry. He knew he couldn't answer Zhang Hua's question, so he glanced at the dense formulas on the blackboard, changed the subject and said with a smile, "Then you can be sure that your theory that the universe is a machine is correct?" ?”

"I also said that your formula is a big joke in the world, and it's not right at all."

After Zhao Wang said this, he felt that he had a little more confidence in his heart. It must be impossible for him to rely on such arithmetic formulas to deceive the truth of heaven. Zhang Hua and the others absolutely have no confidence.

But after he finished speaking, he saw that there was no fear on Zhang Hua's face, but he nodded honestly.

"It could be wrong."

Zhao Wang was stunned, how could he say that he might be wrong while still being so indifferent?This person is shameless, right?
The Confucian scholars in the audience were also stunned. If the theories they put forward were said to be wrong in the usual conversations, they should have covered their faces and left, but Zhang Hua actually said it so carelessly come out.

"It's a regular thing to come up with a theory that's wrong."

Zhang Hua said very sincerely.

"So whenever a theory is put forward, a hypothesis must be made based on the theory, and then the hypothesis is verified by experiments. If the hypothesis is consistent with the experimental results, then the theory will be preserved."

"After several experiments, it is basically confirmed that it is correct, and then the theory can be applied."

"At the same time, no matter how long the theory has been used, if it is found to be wrong in future experiments, it means that the theory is still wrong, but the direction of application in the past was limited and the mistakes of the theory cannot be revealed. , On a larger scale, the error of this theory will appear, and then a new theory must be proposed to explain it based on the new phenomenon that has emerged.”

Zhang Hua said to himself: "With repeated theories and repeated experiments, more and more correct theories will be in hand, and one day everything in the world can be explained by us."

Zhao Wang on the stage and Zong Ze in the audience were all stunned when they heard these words. They sounded very novel at first glance, but after careful thought, they found that the logic of these words is intertwined and there is no mistake. Both Zongze and Su Yuanjing couldn't help being surprised.

They have never had this kind of experimental thinking of scientific deduction. They have argued with others about the principles of heaven and earth before, and they have never thought of doing experiments.

After thinking about it for a while, Zong Ze's expression suddenly changed.

Because he suddenly realized that Zhang Hua's method of verifying whether the theory is correct is indeed very reasonable, but the Neo-Confucianism theory that Zhao Wang just mentioned is completely inapplicable to this method.

How to experiment with a theory like "the principle is different"?

Seeing a look of panic in Zong Ze's eyes, Sun Xin couldn't help laughing. These people finally understood the real problem of Neo-Confucian thinking:
This so-called theory that can explain the world is good in everything, the only problem is that it cannot be verified or falsified.

You say the world is controlled by the laws of heaven, he says the world is controlled by Buddha, he says the world is controlled by Sanqing, I say the world is controlled by Ultraman, it doesn’t matter—anyway, no one can falsify the other, You can't prove yourself, it's possible.

But if so, what role does such thinking have in practice?

This kind of idealistic thesis can only be used as propaganda, but it is really a dream to use this theory to guide the research of artillery, research of warships, and "theory-one-point ballistics".

Zhao Wang on the stage stared at Zhang Hua who spoke out the scientific deductive method in front of him, dumbfounded.

He originally thought that Zhang Hua was very dull, and he must not be able to talk about himself, but now he suddenly realized that he was the one who couldn't talk about Zhang Hua at all.

In terms of eloquence, I am ten times better than Zhang Hua, but he can't solve the problem so honestly.

This is not a matter of debating ability. For the first time, Zhao Wang felt that the debate between theories can be eloquent without relying on the eloquence of debating classics.

His own theory was indeed beautiful, but he couldn't answer any of the questions Zhang Hua asked!

Zhao Wang's face became redder and redder, and his chest and back were sweating. Before he stood on the stage, he looked very different from Zhang Hua in his toga and sleeves, but this time he only felt the difference. Feeling hot all over, he couldn't help tugging at the collar, which twisted his dignified Confucian uniform. Compared with Zhang Hua, who was full of openness and wearing a well-fitting bunt, he looked doubly embarrassed.

Zhao Wang rolled his eyes, and helped up his crooked hair: "Hehe, after talking so much, have you learned anything that we didn't know about before?"

"Who doesn't know how to speak empty words? Our principles have guided the etiquette of monarchs and ministers in this world. What use can you do!"

Hearing this, Zhang Hua looked at Sun Xin in the audience. Sun Xin was already very happy. He never expected to see a debate between science students and ancient liberal arts students today. The debate between the two was really entertaining for him.

Sun Xin nodded.

Zhang Hua puffed up his chest.

All Zhang Hua’s knowledge was acquired after following Sun Xin in Sunjiazhuang and later at Supervisory University. He has never seen the demeanor of outside scholars. from.

There is Xu Maogong in the past, Zhuge Wuhou in the distance, and Liuhou Zhang Liang. These characters can count everything in the world with their fingers, which Zhang Hua admires.

He thought that the ability to know the world's affairs without leaving the hut must be proficient in physics. If Zhuge Liang didn't know mechanics, how could he develop such good things as wooden cows and horses?

And Zhang Hua has never been out of Sunjiazhuang, and there are no Confucian scholars who will talk to him seriously about Confucianism, which deepens his imagination of these foreign scholars. He thinks that these scholars who study astronomy and geography We must know a lot of things that he doesn't know, and the little physics he is learning now is just superficial in the eyes of others.

But talking with Zhao Wang today, Zhang Hua felt that Zhao Wang in front of him and Zong Ze and others in the audience seemed to know much less about astronomy and geography than him.

He has no doubts about this feeling, because he himself holds the position of dean. When he talked with Zhao Wang, he felt that the person in front of him was about a student who had just entered the university level of the Supervisory Council, and basically knew nothing about physics. .

Zhang Hua was very disappointed. He finally understood that these so-called Confucian scholars were nothing but idiots... What did Ma Ziliu play?Just relying on this kind of person to know astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom?
The more he debated, the stronger his sense of pride became. Seeing Zhao Wang and others' aloofness, Zhang Hua felt very disdainful in his heart.

Since he is a problem solver, he is proud of his status as a problem solver. From Zhang Hua's point of view, the person in front of him knows nothing about physics, so he should be respectful to himself. Where did he come from such arrogance!
Seeing Sun Xin nodding, Zhang Hua also stiffened.

Over the past two years, the teaching and scientific research of the Supervisory Council University has not yielded nothing. Zhang Hua can say many commendable research discoveries with just a turn in his head.

But he is not a fool, Sun Xin is sitting in front of him, he knows that the research inventions of most engineering colleges and military colleges naturally cannot be explained to outsiders.

After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "We have researched some things, such as the law of buoyancy."

Zhang Hua can get it right away, the most intuitive thing is the law of buoyancy.

This aspect of the law of buoyancy was not written by Sun Xin in the textbooks. It was the relationship between buoyancy and density that Zhang Hua discovered when he was teaching, and it was named the law of buoyancy.

Sun Xin is definitely happy to hear this news. Although it is clear that the law of buoyancy was discovered by Archimedes thousands of years ago, what you, an ancient Greek, discovered does not prevent us from the Song Dynasty from rediscovering it. Invent once, right?
Zhao Wang frowned slightly, really?

Just thinking about how to pick a thorn, Zhang Hua has already asked: "Dare to ask, sir, why can wooden boards float on water but iron can't."

Zhao Wang sneered: "This is also a problem? The wooden board is light so it can float, while the iron block is heavy, so it will naturally sink when it meets water."

Zhang Hua smiled: "May I ask you, sir, is it possible to make a boat out of iron and float on water?"
