Gande waited for more than a month and finally received the contact. After handling the matter here, he was arranged to go to Xiangcheng.

From there, I transferred to the boat and headed south all the way. At the beginning, there were some border checks. After arriving at Huai River, it was unobstructed.

From Huai River to Pengcheng, there were boats all the way, and the ships came and went in endlessly. Gande broadened his horizons. He had heard that Si Shang was rich, but he didn't want to be rich to this extent.

He arrived in Pengcheng in September and temporarily lived in the museum. He was soon arranged to study in the preparatory hall. The strict bureaucratic machine was more than ten times more efficient than the feudal system. With layers of structures, Gan De could also understand what efficiency is.

I heard that there were more than 40 scholars from all countries who arrived in Si Shang throughout the autumn, and they all had their own abilities, either seeking wealth, seeking knowledge, or for benefiting the world.

It is said that at the most two years ago, there were nearly 200 scholars coming to Pengcheng from all over the country in one quarter, and now they are no longer as prosperous as before.

One is that countries have begun to control the situation, and the other is that those who can come have come long ago, and those who don’t want to come will not come.

What Gande didn't expect was that shortly after he came, he met Shi with the people who came with him, and Shi also communicated with him for a while.

In Pengcheng, he didn't expect that there were people like Gande in the world at this time. He was no longer in charge of the engineering and cultural department. Moreover, he "knows more and can do less", which mainly provided an idea to prevent detours. He relied on administrative orders and a large amount of resource investment to build people and produce results.

Shi didn't know about Gande's name.

But every quarter I met those new scholars, which was the rule after the debate four years ago, to show respect and invite some talented people to buy the hearts of talented people.

After seeing the information sent by some of the Chu Mo people in Gande, Shi was really surprised. He really didn't expect that the development of astronomy during the Warring States Period was so great.

I also asked some gentlemen who specialize in the field of human and astronomy. With their professions, these people's level in their respective disciplines is much higher than that in their respective disciplines. Except for some more difficult content involving calculus operations, which may be worse than in terms of professional knowledge.

After confirming that Gande was indeed a talented person in astronomy, Shi went to see him with some respect. After all, Gande was considered a sage to Shi.

However, no matter how much attention is, I don’t have. I am sure that a person like Gande will stand out even if he has not had a solid foundation in the Si Shang system before.

The first meeting between the two was in the auditorium of Pengcheng University Hall. Like Shi, Gande actually communicated with expectation and anxiety.

Because for Gande, Shi was a person who followed the astronomy of two hermit masters. The theory of Earth moving around the sun explained Gande's long-standing doubts about Mars retrograde; telescope technology also solved Gande's doubts about "if there is a small red star attached to it, if there is a small red star attached to it"; the theory of relative positions caused by orbit also answered his doubts about the speed of Jupiter when it is fast and slow.

Shi’s respect for Gande is respect for his ancestors; while Gande’s respect for Shi is actually respect for knowledge and later generations, Shi is just a carrier.

When Gande first saw it, he carefully observed it and it looked similar to some rumors.

Now he is in his forties, and he is not a young man from Shangqiu more than 20 years ago, and he is older than Gande.

He is relatively not short, but that is for the middle-aged man in his thirties or forties. Now, more than 20 years later, the younger generation in Si Shang is generally much taller than before.

When speaking in the auditorium, he was talking about the "zhengyin" of Si Shang. He wore a cotton-padded cotton-padded short brown and pants. The Mo family did not strictly require clothing, but as a high-level ink, all the men had to wear the improved short brown. This is a rule and a kind of respect for Mozi.

Even as a giant of the Mohist family, there was no crown on his head, but his hair was tied directly, with short beards as he was at this time.

For the ruling and those who are studying, they are in their prime in their forties, which is also a major factor for many people to devote themselves to Si Shang. When Qin Huali became a giant, they were a little older. Many speculators were worried that Qin Huali's death would lead to the split civil war of the Mohist families because they did not believe that the world, which was equal to everyone without blood, could really work.

After Shi became a giant and was seriously ill, Shi was still in charge of the Mohist school in command of Qi and was still in trouble, more speculators began to come to Si Shang.

Gande noticed that in addition to the normal dress of the ink man, it would be really ordinary if it was placed in the crowd of people on the Si.

Later generations criticized by Xunzi as "severe and frugal, and poor, and was not enough to distinguish between different things, and the county monarch and ministers", the Mohist school had very strict requirements on superficial equality, especially those in the real power center of Si Shang. The clothes were basically the same as those of the farmers, and there were no noble clothes.

Gan De thought to himself that he had heard that Mo Di was bald and his straw sandals were short and brown, but he didn't know if the rumored chariot was suitable for wearing straw sandals?

He waited curiously for a while and found that he was wearing a pair of leather shoes. He thought to himself: "That's true. Those nobles call him "The Sutra" because he is from the descendants of the genus. It seems that although Si Shang wore short brown, it actually does not require everyone to be like those rumored ink who suffer from wind and rain. Wearing short brown is probably for their equality, right?"

After reading the manuscript of the welcome speech written by the secretary, Shi walked down to talk to the dozens of people. Two close guards were on both sides of their side, guarding against someone to assassinate.

Many scholars who came to Si Shang for the sake of "righteousness" expressed their kindness with an attitude of idol worship and the hand-holding ceremony applied to Si Shang.

When he arrived at Gande, Shi also looked at Gande, who is less than 30 years old now, and said, "Mr. I read the book about Suixing a few days ago. As the saying goes, like-minded people, I think there are many fellow men in the "Wuxian" class in the Preface. The universe is vast and the ambition is hard to know. It is necessary for generations of people to devote themselves to learning. In the future, if you travel around the stars and travel around the world, someone will always remember everything you have done."

Gan De was also very proud when he listened to the words of traveling around the stars and traveling around the world. He thought that although I came to Si Shang just to study the astronomy I like, his words were exactly like what they said about the great harmony of the world. Everyone had their own joys, both for themselves and for the benefit of the world.

Faced with the praise of the moment, Gan De was a little shy and hurriedly said, "I heard that you learned from the hermit in Yangxia. I think I am far inferior to the astronomy study. Those books are recorded by my observation of the stars, and the other is also accumulated by our ancestors. It is just that it is difficult to measure with the naked eye, so there must be many fallacies..."

"I have always wanted to use the Qianli Mile Mile Mile Mile to observe the starry sky on Si Shang to really look at Sui Xing and Ying Huo. I wonder if I can do it now?"

In recent years, I have seen many people who are eager for knowledge and do whatever they want. People with such temperament have seen many people. They came to Si Shang to understand the doubts in their hearts and were attracted by some knowledge in Si Shang. Such people have good foundations and are indeed talented, and they usually achieve success in their respective disciplines.

Seeing that Gan De was so anxious, he smiled and said, "When he was resting for one hundred years, he could go in and watch the star observatory in Pengcheng, but he just needed to make an appointment in advance. The gentleman was editing the star chart, and Si Shang was actually writing it, so it was verified to each other."

"The compilation of star maps is not easy, and it takes a very long time, but it is of great use. In the future, these knowledge will be useful."

Only then did Gande realize that Si Shang was also compiling star charts. In fact, there were already people compiling them many years ago. However, this was a long project, and the team was not in sufficient staff. A large number of people in this field were in the direction of surveying and mapping and Jupiter satellite mapping maps that can be transformed into technology. There was not much research on these basic things, and it was far from being compiled, so it was not disclosed.

Upon hearing this, Gande couldn't help but feel anxious and asked, "I am now in the preparatory course of the school. I heard that if I can pass the exam, I can directly enter the preparatory study?"

Shi smiled and said, "Yes, but after entering, you have to learn the previous contents yourself to keep up. You like astronomy planning, and there are actually quite a lot of things to learn."

"Writing, nine numbers, geometry, physics, force... all need to be learned in the sequence, but some of the previous foundations need to be known."

The level of Si Shangxiang and the admission examinations of the University Hall are estimated to be approximately equivalent to the level of the first and second grades of the next generation.

It is roughly the simplest quadratic equation, plane geometry, and can write an essay independently, be sure and naturally recognize the natural knowledge and common sense instilled by Si Shang.

After entering the order, we must start to follow the disciples who were first accepted to learn the basics of mechanics, simple elliptic curve parabolic operations, three-dimensional geometry, chemistry and other contents. Even more advanced ones are basically what the top talents in the world are studying.

Many things and values ​​are suitable for writing directly in the name of "Two Masters", and the methods of verification and reasoning are also roughly written, completely instilled and borrowed. Therefore, people often say that after entering the Si Shangyuan Order, their understanding of the world will be subverted.

If this knowledge is to be used by people who specialize in their profession, it will take longer to immerse it in it and transform it into technology that can be used.

Gande had an approximate estimate of his knowledge level. His preparatory lecturer was only nineteen years old. When it comes to astronomy knowledge, Gande was enough to despise the preparatory lecturer, but he was a little lacking in some basics and couldn't help but feel anxious.

I can't even compare to a 19-year-old child. Those who have been studying in Si Shang for more than ten years don't know how long they will be chasing.

He had read books circulated on Si at home and could recognize the words on Si, but he could not fully master the standard written grammar based on the Mohist debate system and the Confucian genre comparison system of Le Zheng's Confucianism.

He can calculate the square root of the cubic and solve plane geometry, but he cannot solve quadratic equations.

He has no foundation in mechanics, and he believes in some of the natural common sense instilled in Si Shang and often read it. He has not yet passed the seemingly simple but actually profound obstacles of "inertia" and "the reason why force and matter are thrust into shape".

However, he is very concerned about astronomy, some observational and descriptive astronomy foundations that those people cannot compare with, especially those who have family traditions.

And very important talents.
