Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

Zhu Yuanzhang looked extremely happy.

I just feel that my eldest grandson is worthy of being my eldest grandson.

This child has been smart since he was young, just like his grandfather.

Even smarter than my grandfather!

There were some questions that he asked that even though he, as a grandfather, had not expected.

Let’s see how that bastard Mei Yin answers!

The sky is round and the earth is square. This is the conclusion our ancestors came to many years ago.

The understanding of heaven and earth has been determined.

It turned out well for him.

When he got here, he had to make some changes.

Saying that the earth is a ball.

Next, I will take a good look at what kind of nonsense he uses to prove that what he said is right.

Even if Mei Yin said flowers, the ground would still be flat!
There is absolutely no way it could be a ball!

As he was thinking this, Mei Yin in the simulator also spoke.

“Before, I also believed that the sky is round and the earth is square, and I thought our ancestors were right.

But since I made a bigger and more powerful telescope, I use it to observe the stars and the moon.

I found that I saw things differently.

Also, I often communicate with the crew members of my Ming Dynasty who are sailing overseas.

Through them, I discovered an interesting thing.

That is, when they were sailing on the sea.

When you see a ship appear in the distance.

What you see first is not the whole thing, but the mast at the top, and then the sail.

Then comes the hull.

As the distance got closer, we were finally able to see the entire ship.

In theory, the water surface is very flat, with no high mountains or flat land.

So, when you see a ship, you should see the whole ship at the beginning.

Instead of seeing the top of the mast first, then the sail, and finally the entire ship.

So, I gave this question some thought.

I discovered that the earth is not flat, it can only be round.

Only in this way can we reasonably explain such a phenomenon. "

Mei Yin said this and took out a small sailboat that he had prepared in advance.

Then he put it on the globe and started doing the experiment with Zhu Xiongying.

His movements confirmed what he said, and it was indeed the case.

After conducting experiments with the help of the globe.

Mei Yin placed the small sailboat on a flat table.

What you see directly is a whole ship.

"Do you see it?
That's it.

So after speculation and verification, I think the only proof that can explain this phenomenon is that in the past, our understanding of some things was wrong.

This land is not a flat land.
It's the ball as a whole that's the case."

After hearing what Mei Yin said, Zhu Xiongying in the simulator followed Mei Yin to conduct the experiment himself.

The whole person seemed very excited.

I'm in a particularly good mood.
It immediately boosted my enthusiasm for learning.

I just think it is really interesting to study with my second uncle Mei Yin.

In the Wuying Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was watching the simulator, heard what Mei Yin said.

There was a thoughtful look in his eyes.

There are also some insights.

His attitude has changed a lot.
I no longer think Mei Yin is talking nonsense.

This matter actually seems to make some sense.

Then he thought of a scene he saw when he was on the grassland.

That is when someone is galloping towards us on horseback in the distance.

It's not that you see people and horses directly.

But see the head first.

And then the whole person.

In the past, he didn't think that there was anything.

I just think it's a very normal phenomenon.

But now, after listening to what Mei Yin said, I suddenly realized that there are many similarities between these things.

This...it seems that things are really just as Mei Yin said!

The land underground is really a ball!

Only if it is a ball can this phenomenon be explained clearly.

When this thought arose in his mind, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

He really didn't expect things to turn out like this.

This was something he had never thought of before.

There are also more different opinions about Mei Yin.

Mei Yin, this kid, looks at things from a different perspective every day!
The same phenomenon seemed normal to me and others.

Never overthink it.

However, he was able to directly connect such things to the earth where he and others lived.

Moreover, we can draw a conclusion from it that seems to make sense.

This kid is really not an ordinary person!

I don’t know what’s wrong with this brain!

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's understanding of the roundness of the earth and the squareness of the sky had undergone a great change.

He no longer felt that no matter what Mei Yin said, even if he said something fancy, he would still believe that the sky was round and the earth was square.

What Mei Yin said was wrong.

Thinking of this, he paid attention to what Mei Yin had just said.

A better telescope?

When did Mei Yin make this?
Apparently, he also used this thing to watch the stars and the moon.

Could it be that I can also bring the stars, the moon and other things right in front of me at once?

So…is there a Chang’e on the moon? Is there a Jade Rabbit? Is there a cassia tree?

What does Chang'e look like?
For a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was filled with endless fantasies.

Why don’t these things appear in the simulator?

Zhu Yuanzhang felt itchy in his heart.

I also wrote down this idea.

From now on, we must always pay attention to the situation on Mei Yin's side.

Let’s see when Mei Yin can make something like this.

Use it to watch the stars and the moon.

When that time comes, I will definitely use this thing to take a good look at the moon as soon as possible.

It would be great if there really was Chang'e up there!

You can also take a look at what these people look like.

While thinking about this, Zhu Yuanzhang also had a big doubt in his heart.

It was my eldest grandson who asked, since this thing is a ball, why can't I feel it is a ball when I stand on it.

And it is particularly stable to stand on it.

Just as he was beginning to have such doubts, Mei Yin in the picture also spoke.

"As for what you said, Xiongying, if it's a ball, why can't we feel it and still stand so steadily on it? It's easy to explain..."

Good explanation?!
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard what Mei Yin said in the simulator.

I couldn't help but blink.

For a moment, I even doubted whether I had heard it wrongly.

Is this thing easy to explain?

How can it be!

It’s obviously not easy to explain?

He wanted to see what Mei Yin had to say about this.

Can you give a particularly convincing reason like you just did?

“The reason why we don’t feel it is a ball.

Because the earth is so huge.

Also, the surface is not that smooth.

On the surface, there are mountains, plains, ravines and many other things.

And we humans are too small compared to the huge earth.

It is much smaller than an ant landing on the globe. That is why the earth is a sphere.

But within a certain area, we can't see any curve from our perspective.

Because it is so huge!

In addition, the earth's surface has a variety of landforms.

So we can’t feel these things…”

It was like this!
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and felt that this matter did make some sense.

“Besides this, there is also this thing that plays a role.

Let us stand on this and not slip.

This is a fundamental thing.

I call this thing gravity.

This thing can also firmly attach us to the earth.

It can help us stabilize.”

WTF? !
Zhu Yuanzhang, who just thought that what Mei Yin said made some sense, suddenly heard what Mei Yin said.

They couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Why does it sound like Mei Yin is starting to sound unreliable?
What kind of force is that, is it so strong?

How could it be able to absorb so many people and so many things?

Thinking of this, he jumped on the ground.

Isn't it easy to leave?
With just a light jump, you can get your feet off the ground.

It’s not as outrageous as Mei Yin said!
Zhu Xiongying in the simulator also seemed confused at this time.

Obviously, he didn't understand what Mei Yin meant.

“It’s actually pretty easy to understand.

We’ll do something and you’ll understand.”

As he spoke, he took out a small ball and handed it to Zhu Xiongying.

Let Zhu Xiongying throw the small ball up.

Zhu Xiongying took it, threw it hard, and the ball flew up.

Then it fell to the ground, bounced a few times, rolled a certain distance and stopped moving.

"Xiong Ying, what can you tell from this?"

Zhu Xiongying said: "I threw the ball up, and then it fell to the ground again."

"Yes! Very good! You said it very well, Yui!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the screen of the simulator.

I just feel like my brain is almost shutting down.

In his opinion, what Mei Yin was doing was perfectly normal.

Moreover, what Xiongying said was particularly simple.

How did it become so good?

Then can you tell my uncle why this ball falls down after being thrown into the air?
Instead of running straight up to the sky?"

Zhu Xiongying was stunned for a moment.

Then he immediately said: That... is because I didn’t use enough strength.

If I were older, I would be stronger.

You can throw the ball farther and higher."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. Yes! Not bad! His eldest grandson is smart!

That's the truth!
Mei Yin in the simulator also nodded.

“Xiong Ying, what you said above does make some sense.

But even a very strong person can throw the ball higher.

But there are some limits.

The ball will still fall down and eventually hit the ground.

Then... why is this?"

Zhu Xiongying couldn't help scratching his head.

Lost in deep thought.

Let alone Zhu Xiongying.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who was watching the simulator, seemed extremely confused.

He also couldn't think of any good explanation.

I just feel that this brat Mei Yin is not trying to deliberately make things difficult for his eldest grandson, right?

What kind of questions is he asking?
These are all natural things, what is there to ask?

Mei Yin said: "This is the universal gravitation I just mentioned, it is working.

This means that there is a force on the earth beneath our feet.

It can attract many things on the earth to come down.

Do not leave the ground.

That is why we humans can walk steadily on this ground.

It won't fly out for various reasons...

How can you say that?!

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment.

Zhu Xiongying in the simulator looked even more confused.

After a while, he suddenly seemed to think of something.

I suddenly felt happy.

"Second uncle, what you said is wrong!"

Mei Yin smiled and said, "What's wrong?"

"Second uncle, you just said that everything must be attached to the ground.

However, birds can fly, and butterflies and dragonflies can fly in the sky.

Isn’t this getting off the ground?”

it is good!
As expected of him being our eldest grandson?
Inside the Wuying Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was watching the simulator, couldn't help but reach out and slap his thigh, praising out loud.

“This kid is so smart!
At first glance, it's obviously from the Zhu family!"

Now let’s see how this bastard Mei Yin will answer and explain this problem next!
Just say that Mei Yin is just talking nonsense.

These are all very normal things, but he insists on making them sound very profound.

What if Mei Yin was stumped by his eldest grandson, such a little kid?

Then things will become interesting.

Mei Yin in the simulator was calm and unhurried.

“It’s really great that you can think of this, Xiongying.

There is some truth in what you said.

Birds and other things can indeed fly in the sky.

However, they can fly because they flap their wings to fly.

But once they stop flapping their wings, they will still fall down.

Either fall to the ground or stand on a branch.

After all, you can't fly for a long time.

Doesn't this mean that there is still a gravitational force attracting them?"

Zhu Xiongying in the simulator fell into deep thought after hearing this.

Zhu Yuanzhang in the Wuying Hall was also somewhat confused by what Mei Yin said.

By the way, before, when I saw the bastard Mei Yin in the simulator, he was trying to teach his eldest grandson.

Zhu Yuanzhang also had some intention of testing the teachers.

I feel that what Mei Yin talked about must be some very simple contents.

You will understand it as soon as you hear it.

But who would have thought that after listening for a while, I would find that I didn’t understand a lot of things.

I can't figure it out.

This bastard Mei Yin always has so many weird ideas.

Obviously, many of them are very simple and easy to understand.

But he just had to tell him so many things.

It makes people feel like they can’t understand the world anymore.

"Second uncle, how did you come up with the law of gravity?"

In the simulator, Zhu Xiongying looked at Mei Yin and asked with some curiosity.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately pricked up his ears.

Staring at the simulator without blinking.

I want to see what Mei Yin has to say about this matter.

He was also very curious about this matter...
