Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 350

"Officials, when it comes to military weapons supervision, I think of one person who is also on the list for this election. It is this Su Xie."

"This person is the youngest son of Su Song, the prime minister of Zhezong, and he is now working as a county magistrate in Danyang." Li Gang bowed his head and said.

"Su Song?" Zhao Huan was taken aback, he really didn't know this person.

Li Gang obviously saw Zhao Huan's unfamiliarity with this person, and said, "Officials, please follow me."

Zhao Huan and Li Gang did not go far, and did not go out of the palace city. On the Dongyemen palace city, they saw a wooden building about three feet high.

As the sun set, the faces of the children on the streets of Bianjing were bright red, and the horses running around were also dyed golden red.

The little boy in the teahouse in the distance stood under the wall, watching the traveler with a smile, his face turning golden red.

The whole Bianjing fell into a sea of ​​fire, even the water surface and ships of the Bianhe River.

The clouds in the sky seemed to be on fire, burning from the east to the west, spreading across the sky like a violent flame.

Such a grand scene suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Huan, which caught Zhao Huan off guard.

He held on to the railing firmly, and looked at the reflection of the Bianjing Iron Tower, some urchins were bouncing and stepping on the shadows.

This is the country under his control, this beautiful scene, as always.

It has not become fragmented under the iron hoof of the golden man.

This is why I have been working hard and not daring to be arrogant.

This world is so beautiful, it cannot cause tens of thousands of people to be displaced and suffer humiliation because of their own mistakes in decision-making.

The responsibility on him is really heavy, and he dare not relax for a while. Li Gang is worried that he will be arrogant, but he doesn't know how cautious Zhao Huan is.

Zhao Huan took a deep breath, he seldom had time to look at Song Dynasty carefully, it turned out to be so prosperous.

Is this the world guarded by my group?

"What did Dazai bring me here for?"

Zhao Huan was in a daze for a long time at the bustling scene of Bianjing, and he didn't ask until the sun sank under the western mountain and the flames disappeared in the sky.

Usually too busy, Li Gang has been in this Bianjing city for more than ten years, and he has never seen such a grand scene, and he has been in a daze for a long time.

This is what they do!
"Officials, please take a look, this is the Astronomical Observatory." Li Gang pointed to the three-story wooden building not far away.

"The uppermost open-air platform is equipped with an armillary sphere supported by dragon pillars, and there is a water tank below to determine the level."

"The armillary sphere is covered with a wooden roof that shields it from the sun and rain. In order to facilitate observation, the roof can be opened and closed at will. The idea is quite ingenious. The platform from the terrace to the observatory is three feet high."

"The most wonderful thing is that the armillary sphere can move with the sun from time to time. The armillary needle can point to the sun at any time."

"There's just one thing that's wrong, and the armillary sphere is still turning at night, and the armillary needle is pointing at the ground. It's weird." Li Gang said with a sigh.

The armillary sphere is good anywhere. When the sun rises, it points to the east, but at night, it still points to the ground. Could it be that the sun is still under the ground?

Listening to Li Gang's description, Zhao Huan looked at the armillary needle not far away, pointing in the direction of the horizon, in a daze.

The Ao Yungui watch under the armillary sphere is clearly visible, and four giant dragons support the entire armillary sphere, which are dragon pillars.

When he came to Song Dynasty in the future, he had been to the observatory, and this armillary sphere was not wrong. This kind of device is the device that the observatory has been using, the tracking device of the observatory, and the rotating instrument clock.

It can compensate for the rotation of the earth, so that the observatory's telescope can be aimed at the same sky area at any time.

This is one step away from the heliocentric theory!
Lee Dazai, think again!I don't want to become omniscient and omnipotent!
"Dazai, what if the sun is really in the ground?" Zhao Huan asked with a smile, as if joking, and asked inadvertently.

"The officials are joking, the sky is bright and bright, An Neng Jiu is quiet..." Li Gang was stunned as he spoke.

He is not a scholar who is stupid in studying the classics.

He is a military inspector Shaocheng, the Minister of the Ministry of War, who has traveled all over the country for many years, and put in a lot of effort to restore the operation of the arsenal and the military inspector.

Zhao Huan moved a little, and Li Gang looked at the direction of the horizon, his hands trembling, and said, "Did the officials say that the sun is underground?"

"I didn't say that, I was just joking." Zhao Huan continued with a smile on his face, "If the Dazai realizes something, write it in a letter and hand it over."

Li Gang had already understood the meaning of Zhao Huan's words, obviously the officials already knew that the sun was really "underground".

But why the officials didn't go into details is obviously because it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

This truth can only be understood by oneself, which is one's own truth.

And obviously, behind this sentence, there is the truth between heaven and earth. Let him understand the unfamous words of the officials, and obviously add a good talk to his history books.

"Thank you, the official family, Long En." Li Gang bowed his head and said.

"Okay, you continue to talk about this astronomical observatory. I am very interested." Zhao Huan is obviously very interested in this three-story wooden building.

"The middle floor of this astronomical astronomical platform is a secret room without windows, in which the zodiac is placed."

"Half of the celestial sphere is hidden under the horizon, and the other half is exposed above the horizon. It is driven by the wheel to rotate, and it rotates once a day and night. The star map is densely covered, which reproduces the changes in the sky such as the rise and fall of the stars."

"A total of 440 seven stars have been carved. They are all the stars that we can see clearly." Li Gang pointed to the second floor and said.

From Zhao Huan's point of view, he couldn't see the whole picture of the second layer.

"Let's go and have a look." Zhao Huan went down the stairs and came to the side of the astronomical astronomical platform. Looking at the astronomical object in front of him, it was just as he thought, it was a stargazing instrument.

With this instrument, you can draw a star map. The star map has infinite uses, and ship positioning is simply not too easy to use!

Zhao Huan clenched his fists tightly and said, "Very good."

"Officials, I told the official that Su Xie has more than [-] star maps in his hand, and he also has a complete structure map of this station, and is very suitable for the study of various star maps. You can go to Liu Yi, Liu Shaoqing's subordinates for help. "Li Gang said the purpose of this trip.

Zhao Huan nodded, this Su Xie's father built this astronomical platform for water transportation, which is of great use to Song Dynasty!

"Su Xie was also a Jinshi during the Daguan period, and his talent, learning and character are all commendable. And when the Jin people went south this time, he also led the people of Danyang to resist the intrusion of bandits. Shaoqing, or go to the Military Weapons Supervision to be a young supervisor." Li Gang said hastily.

He didn't pretend to be selfish, he was really promoting talents.

"In Zhong Shaobao's records of talents, it was also mentioned that this young man is tough and talented, Dazai doesn't need to be so cautious." Zhao Huan said helplessly.

All the emperors of the Song Dynasty were not very good, so that these courtiers were all cautious when they were officials.

Lest the emperor be jealous.

"Ding!"

There was a crisp sound, somewhat similar to the sound of soldiers retreating from the battlefield.

Zhao Huan asked in a daze, "What's the sound?"

"The chime of Youshi." Li Gang had a look of reason, he didn't understand why the officials were so surprised.

Zhao Huan's face was full of confusion. He thought that the astronomical observatory was an astronomical observatory, but this guy also has the function of telling time?

Zhao Huan looked at the watchmen who filed out from under the stage of the astronomical instrument, carried the gong in their hands, and walked away singing chant.

He looked at a small wooden figure under his feet, beating a gong in his hand, a clock that told the time.

How many surprises does Da Song want to give himself?

　The Astronomical Observatory is an astronomical clock, just like the Big Ben in London. It has all the functions of the Big Ben. It is a grand scene of the Song Dynasty. It has a complete structure diagram and has completed a replica.Da Song, what a pity!
