"Transfer an order to summon Song Yingxing to me." The pottery ordered.

The last person on Bao Zheng’s recommendation list is Song Yingxing, the owner of “technology” talent, the creator of “The Creation of Things in Heaven”, and the strange man who can make the science and technology of the Great Wei Dynasty make rapid progress.

Unexpectedly, he would appear in front of him in this way.

The Tao Shang was also a little depressed. You should know that Song Yingxing was a later general whom he summoned not long ago when he defeated Sun Ce, but appeared so quickly.

But people like Dugu Jialuo who had already summoned him in Jiaozhou had not appeared for a long time.

The pottery began to wonder if the system might have gone wrong.

However, when the system elves said that summoning was divided into before and after, but the opportunity to summon generals to come to join him was not distinguished, so the pottery could only wait patiently.

Fortunately, Song Yingxing came quickly enough, and Tao Shang was intrigued, so he wanted to see if Song Yingxing was a qualified scientist.

Huang Yueying was busy passing on the decree of the pottery merchant.

The decree was passed down, and the pottery continued to review the memorial. Half an hour later, the eunuch came to report that Song Yingxing had entered the palace and was waiting to see him outside the palace.

"Xuan." The potter put down his pen and gently brushed his hand.

The footsteps rang out, and a moment later, a scholar walked into the imperial study.

Tao Shang saw this, but when he saw that Song Yingxing was indeed a scholar, he didn't know why, he always squinted his eyes when he walked.

"My minister Song Yingxing, pay homage to Your Majesty." Song Yingxing came to the steps a few steps, knelt down with his legs, and his head fell to the ground.

But because he knelt too far forward, he knelt directly on the edge of the steps. With his head forward, his forehead slammed onto the steps with a "bang".

"Ouch—" Song Yingxing screamed in pain, covered his forehead and grinned.

Huang Yueying next to him saw his embarrassed look and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. Even the Tao Shang was even more amused by his funny scene.

"Song Yingxing, how are you? You haven't broken your head? Do you want me to see Dr. Xuanbian to show you?" Tao Shang quickly held back his smile and asked with concern.

Song Yingxing realized that he was rude, so he put down his hand, endured the pain, and said in embarrassment: "I am used to it, just a small collision, it's not a problem. It makes Your Majesty laugh. Please forgive me."

"Your Majesty, he said he is used to it. It seems that he often hits his head like this, and there are people who have this habit. It's really interesting." Huang Yueying leaned over to the pottery merchant and bit her ears low.

Tao Shang also found Song Yingxing a little funny, with a cute and nerdy look, her eyes tracing on Song Yingxing's face, and finally from his eyes that had always been narrowed into a slit.

"Song Yingxing, I see that you always squint your eyes. Will you have any eye disease?" Tao Shang asked.

Song Yingxing bowed and sighed, "I don't have any eye disease. I've been good at studying since I was a child, and my eyes were damaged. My vision became particularly poor. Only things that were close to me could be seen clearly. The further I went, the blurry it became. Therefore, I often did some embarrassing things to make His Majesty laugh."

It turns out to be myopia...

The pottery now understood that the "Creating Things in Heaven" written by Song Yingxing involved many aspects such as agriculture, forestry, fishery, minerals, chemistry, astronomy, etc., including almost all industries except liberal arts. In the process of writing, he must have read all the books in various industries. His reading volume should be many times higher than that of traditional literati.

It is no surprise that I have read so much that I see myopia.

"It is also an admirable spirit to look at your eyes badly in order to read. It seems that you should be a bookworm." The Taoist merchant restrained his smile and expressed his approval in his tone.

Song Yingxing looked surprised and asked back: "How can Your Majesty know the nickname of me?"

Judging from his serious appearance, he seemed to regard the nickname "book fan" as a kind of glory. His cute appearance was really cute, which made Tao merchant and Huang Yueying beside him want to laugh again.

"I didn't expect that your nickname is really a book fan. In fact, I'm just guessing it, ahem..."

The pottery suppressed his desire to laugh, coughed a few times and returned to normal, and said seriously: "I saw Bao Zheng recommending you in the memorial, so I called you to come and have a look. Since you said you have read a lot of books, you should understand things that many people don't understand. Then I will test you a question."

"Your Majesty, please ask." Song Yingxing's tone showed a bit of confidence in reading a lot of books.

The pottery raised his hand and pointed out to the outside of the hall door, saying, "Suppose I started here and kept looking south, where can I finally go?"

Song Yingxing was stunned and narrowed his eyes. He obviously didn't expect that the Tao merchant would ask such a strange question.

"Looking south, you will naturally walk to Jiaozhou and to the South China Sea." Song Yingxing responded without hesitation.

"You are wrong." Tao Shang shook his head, "I mean to keep looking south and walk all the way. Assuming that you can walk on the sea like flat ground, and you can climb over even the mountains at any higher levels, just keep looking south and walking south."

Song Yingxing looked surprised, looked up at Tao Tong, and a strange color burst out from his squinting eyes, but he quickly fell silent.

He turned around and looked south, looking dazed, his eyes as if he had traveled through the boundless continent and the boundless ocean, and he kept looking towards the boundaries of the world.

"I kept looking south? I never thought about this problem before. Where will I go south?" Huang Yueying's pretty face became confused, and she lowered her eyebrows and thoughtful.

The Tao merchant didn't urge him, waiting for his answer.

“Back to the origin!”

After a long silence, Song Yingxing suddenly turned around and these four words burst into his mouth.

The Tao merchant nodded slightly, and a glimmer of light flashed through his eyes.

Huang Yueying couldn't help but burst into laughter and said, "What are you kidding? You keep walking south from here. You should go to Vietnam more and more. How can you go back to the starting point?"

Huang Yueying looked down upon her, but Tao Shang asked seriously: "Song Yingxing, what is the reason you think so? Tell me."

"Cough cough." Song Yingxing coughed a few times, feeling a little embarrassed: "The reason why I think so is naturally a meritorious. If I say this, I am afraid that Your Majesty and the Empress will feel it too ridiculous, and even think that I am crazy."

The Tao Shang had vaguely guessed what he was going to say, and he brushed his hand and smiled generously: "What reason do you have, but it doesn't matter. No matter how ridiculous the reason is, even if everyone in the world regards you as a madman, I won't."

Song Yingxing's body shook slightly, and a little confidence appeared on his face. Fang Shi cleared his throat and said seriously: "Actually, I have always believed that the earth under our feet is actually round, so we set out from here and kept walking south. In the end, maybe just went around a circle and returned to the starting point."

The pottery laughed.

Song Yingxing's answer was exactly what he wanted.

The science of this era is limited, and people generally believe that it is a perfect place. The pottery merchant is afraid that Song Yingxing is a fake, so he raised this question beyond the times to test his authenticity.

Only the real Song Yingxing, only the creator of "The Creation of Things in Heaven", will have scientific literacy beyond the times and give answers beyond the times.

Song Yingxing did it.

"What a joke? The reason why the sky is round and the place is round. Who doesn't know how to get to you? The earth under your feet becomes round!" Huang Yueying immediately questioned in surprise.

It is no wonder that although Huang Yueying has the talent of "God of Workers", her abilities are mostly limited to making machinery, and her scientific knowledge is not the owner of "technology" talent like Song Yingxing.

Faced with Huang Yueying's doubts, Song Yingxing smiled faintly and said, "In fact, we should not only return to our original place when we look south, but also to our original place, no matter where we go in any direction."

After a spit, Song Yingxing said in a conclusive tone: "Actually, to be precise, the earth under our feet is not a circle, but a spherical shape."

"spherical!"

Huang Yueying's expression was even more incredible, and a sarcastic sneer even raised a corner of her mouth, "If you say so, then the person living on the other side of the ball would fall into the sky with his head down and his feet up."

The pottery was happy again.

When he saw Huang Yueying's scene, he not only recalled the world he had traveled through, but when he was still young, when he heard the teacher say that the earth was a spherical shape, the deskmate next to him with a ponytail also raised the same question like Huang Yueying.

"Well..." Song Yingxing was a little embarrassed now, "I think the people on the other side of the ball should be the same as us and will not fall into the sky. As for why they will not fall, I haven't figured it out yet. Shu Chen can't give the Empress a reasonable explanation."

"Isn't this easy? The reason why they didn't fall into the sky was naturally because of gravity." The Tao Shang laughed and blurted out without thinking too much.

gravity?

As soon as these words were spoken, Song Yingxing and Huang Yueying were stunned at the same time. Both of them looked confused and looked at Tao Shang in a daze.

"Your Majesty just said gravity just now, what does that mean?" Song Yingxing hurriedly asked, his expression was like a nerd who was eager to learn, and suddenly encountered a question that was extremely interested.

"Ahem, this universal gravity is a truth that I have come up with a sudden idea recently. It's a long time to talk about it. I'll discuss it with you when I have time."

Before he finished speaking, he shouted before Song Yingxing asked again, "Song Yingxing obeyed the order."

"I... I am here." Song Yingxing quickly calmed down his curiosity.

Tao Shang blinked his hand and shouted: "I plan to establish a new Ministry of Science and Technology to collect and cultivate talents like you who are proficient in astronomy, geography and craftsmanship skills for my Great Wei. I now officially appoint you as the Minister of Science and Technology."

Song Yingxing was stunned on the spot, and he was stunned and didn't react for a long time.

He originally thought that a nerd who likes to study "strange skills and tricks" and is not known for his own writing, could be summoned by the emperor, and could say so much to the emperor and discuss those profound topics. It was already a smoke from the ancestral grave, which was flattered.

But he never expected that the emperor would directly appoint him as the Minister of Science and Technology!

This means that overnight, he went from being a commoner to a Shangshu who was as famous as his recommender, Lord Bao!

How could Song Yingxing not be confused?

Even Huang Yueying beside him was stunned, and her eyes were filled with surprise. She obviously couldn't figure out why her husband, who was so proud of this absurd judgment that "the earth is a spherical shape" was so important that she would promote him to the Shangshu when she met the first time.
