Relying on traditional medicine can cure syphilis?
Chen Mu was not sure. Although the first-class doctor Chen Gongshi was a very miraculous existence to him, this miraculousness did not make Chen Mu have the courage to subvert his cognition.

It's not that Chen Mu doesn't trust or agree with ancient Chinese traditional medicine, but because he trusts and understands too much.

It has never been Western traditional medicine that can benchmark with traditional Chinese medicine and needs Chinese traditional medicine to catch up. It is a irascible brother who only knows bloodletting, draws crosses and little monsters on medical books.

From the emergence of syphilis, doctors in Guangzhou knew to use light powder and Smilax cocos to treat syphilis in a short period of time. Light powder is also mercury. In the following 400 years, mercury was the only drug that really threatened syphilis in the whole world, and Smilax can effectively inhibit it.

What Chen Mu wants to do is to make medical skills take a step forward in the generation of Chen Shigong, Li Shizhen, and Li Ting.

In fact, these physicians were already doing these things. After seeing Li Shizhen edited "Compendium of Materia Medica", Li Bing started to promote the Ming Dynasty's official revision of herbal medicines led by the imperial court, while Chen Shigong did more subtle things.

When Chen Mu asked Chen Shigong to go with him to find Zhu Zaiyu, the head of the Clan University, Chen Shigong mentioned the place where he and Zhu Zaiyu met last time—they met at Changsheng's Military Bureau.

As he said that, Chen Shigong opened the medical equipment box that he carried with him. It was actually a diagonal wooden box with leather rolls spread out. There were steel needles of various types on the top and steel knives, axes, and pliers of various shapes on the bottom. They were all brand new and refined. That's what he got when he went to the Weapons Bureau.

"In the past, needles used iron horsebits, which were soft and not sharp, and were not easy to penetrate into the flesh. Now the knives and needles are all made of steel, so it is not difficult to penetrate the depth of the flesh. I will be able to fulfill my wish at the Military Weapons Bureau." Chen Shigong introduced: "The son entered The Military Weapons Bureau wants to hire craftsmen to make the pipes, which seems to be quite difficult."

Law Guan, Chen Mu frowned. He couldn't understand the word, and guessed it was related to musical instruments—he really didn't understand Zhu Zaiyu's world.

He and Zhu Zaiyu are not very common. Although he is the head of the Changsheng Clan University, when Chen Mu met Zhu Zaiyu a few times, he didn't do what the head of the mountain should do.

Either frowning and playing the piano with a very dissatisfied look, or fiddle with weird things in a very serious manner, or simply copying with one hand and a pen in front of his special planning board... This person is completely immersed in It is very difficult to be in your own world and be ready to startle others at any time.

For example, when Chen Mu and Chen Shigong entered the back mountain of the Imperial Clan University together, they saw Zhu Zaiyu groping on a stone table in the backyard. With that huge abacus, the accompanying book boy held the inkstone and watched him write a few words on the paper.

When they approached, they heard Prince Zheng whispering to himself: "Two magnetic levels? It seems that Shen Kuo is right."

Chen Mu sighed silently, turned his head and raised his index finger to Chen Shigong's mouth to make a 'shh' gesture.

His Royal Highness does not do business all day long, but every time he comes here, he is busy with something, and he is extremely focused, making it impossible to disturb him.

Fortunately, Zhu Zaiyu didn't play music, and maybe he didn't pay too much attention to himself. When he saw Chen Mu and Chen Shigong coming, he put down the pen and paper, turned his head and smiled and said, "The commander-in-chief and Dr. Chen are coming far away. I didn't hear it." , I am so sorry for the disappointment.”

Chen Mu waved his hand, looked at the table that looked like a compass was painted on it, and asked, "What is this?"

"It's the right plan, doesn't the commander know?" In Zhu Zaiyu's expression, it seems that Chen Mu should know this. He wondered: "I don't know this. How did the commander find Asia by voyage? North and south on the route The earth's magnetism is disordered, and the magnetic needle at sunrise and sunset is often deflected south to north, maybe the military government has a secret method that I don't know, please tell the commander."

Chen Mu didn't know what to say, so he paused for a while, and asked with doubts, "Rely on... General Ma's feet?"

Of course, this is just a joke. The way the bow has the bow, they can tell the direction clearly, but it is not as accurate as Zhu Zaiyu, who is engaged in academics and precise measurements.

"Asia is very big. We are not the first Ming people to come here. Before and after the Spaniards arrived in Luzon, there were already Ming people here."

Chen Mu smiled, pointed at the desk and asked, "What's his use for?"

Mentioning what he was studying, Zhu Zaiyu became energetic, and introduced to Chen Mu and Chen Shigong: "I read "Mengxi Bi Tan" in the middle school cottage, and it mentioned that the compass often points to the south. He said that the compass often points south. The north has both, that is to say, there are two geomagnetisms, but I don’t know why, so I have to say that the magnetic needle guide is like the pines and cypresses pointing to the west, and I don’t know the principle.”

"Therefore, I follow the example of Guo Shoujing's rectification plan. The scales of each watch are first measured by the shadow of the sun, and then the geomagnetic degree. The next plan is divided into [-] quarters. When I was in Beijing, the geomagnetism was measured as north-south east by quarter and three. Scattered, and in Changsheng, it is one quarter and three points west."

The numbers that are extremely clear in Zhu Zaiyu's mind are not so clear in Chen Mu's mind. He has to do the calculations himself, and while doing the calculations, he mutters: "360 degrees in the sky, [-] minutes, [-] degrees in a quarter." , Beijing has a moment and three points and three points, and Changsheng has a moment and three points, respectively..."

Three point six?

Zhu Zaiyu felt that the term "dot" was very interesting, because normal people don't use this to describe decimals, but use "abdication", "retirement" and "interval" to express dots and dots. .

When Chen Mu was still thinking hard and planning to find a pen and paper to do the math, the prince said with a smile: "If the east is yang and the west is yin, it means that Beijing Yang four abdicates four or eight degrees, and Chang Sheng Yin four abdicates five degrees. "

Zhu Zaiyu blinked, and said to Chen Mu: "The commander-in-chief is not coming today, and I will go to find the commander-in-chief. The commander-in-chief once said that the imperial clan university is only for studying and applying it. In order to calculate the calendar and calculate the Beiyanong time, the imperial clan university opened recently. Tianwen is progressing slowly and urgently needs the help of the military government."

Chen Mu and Chen Gongshi looked at each other, wondering, "How can I help?"

Help you fire a cannon to blow a hole in the sky to artificially rain?
"Astronomy must be precise. If you want to be precise, you need to perform astronomy according to the imagery. Over the years, it will be realistic. And the suffix is ​​arithmetic, which can be established as a law, so that it can become a generation and be passed down forever."

As he said that, Zhu Zaiyu spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "However, Zaiyu has never seen the instrument of appearance, how can he know the distance between it and the width and width of it?"

Chen Mu understood the words, nodded and said, "It means you want to do big things, but you don't have the tools?"

"It's easy to handle. Changsheng and Jincheng have craftsmen who are second only to the north and south. What do you want to make and what you need? If you can draw, you can tell the craftsmen how to make it, or just tell them what you want to use. Whatever this tool is for, they can make it for you... No matter what kind of hardware you want to make it with, gold, silver, copper, iron and tin, you have it, you can do it."

"But do me a favor first. You don't need to finish it right away. His Royal Highness the future son can teach the students while leading the students to do it."

Zhu Zaiyu was very happy to see that Chen Mu agreed to his request, as relaxed as a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. Not everyone realizes the importance of astronomy, especially like Chen Mu who is playing with the gun in the heart of His Royal Highness. Pao's 'rough man' is hard to get support in his imagination, so he agreed very readily, saying: "Please tell me, Commander, as long as I can do it."

"Xu Zhenming only knows that the sea levels on both sides of the Panama Canal are not the same height, and how much difference has to be calculated; Muhe Railway only knows that a [-]-pound rail is definitely usable, but how much pressure can a [-]-pound rail withstand to reduce the weight of the rail? I need to calculate how much I need to achieve a balance with the demand; there is also a mirror, I need a mirror that can see small things clearly, stack several lenses together, and see how the light travels, the degree of the mirror surface, and how small things are. A lens... to figure it out."

Zhu Zaiyu frowned in confusion: "Huh?"

　Good morning!Thank you for your blessings!

　　I will update two chapters today, and I still owe two chapters, remember it.

　　Historically, Zhu Zaiyu measured Beijing's geomagnetic declination, which was [-] degrees.
