"Brother-in-law, can you start?" Meng Yun had taken off his coat at this time and was wearing a short hook to drive the glider himself.

"Uncle, don't be anxious!" Chen Xu twitched his face and grabbed Meng Yun's arm. "This glider has not been tested yet. First, find a piece of wood of about the same size as a human, tie it on it and try to fly it, so as not to get injured if it is not balanced in weight!"

Meng Yun was stunned for a moment and woke up and nodded repeatedly: "It's not bad, my brother-in-law said, it's better to try flying first!"

A group of playboys had already heard Chen Xu's words clearly, so they started to ask someone to find the wood. Soon several people carried an abandoned wood from the river bank, and there were knives and axes at the scene. The old lame man also understood what Chen Xu meant and directed several apprentices to quickly saw the wood off, then chopped it with a slightly slashed it with an axe, and cut it into a stick, and quickly tied it to the wooden stand under the glider with a hemp rope.

"Cleaning all the stones on this river beach must be at least two hundred feet long, and the crowds will spread a hundred feet long, so don't crowd and block..."

Under Chen Xu's command, the crowd quickly retreated and dispersed. Many people watching the fun spontaneously began to transport and clean the stones on the river beach, and some even filled in the uneven areas.

Almost everyone has seen the bamboo pot, but this is the first time I have seen it that it is so big that I can fly to a high altitude.

However, when I heard that this thing was the invention and creativity of Qinghehou, everyone was filled with excitement and expectation.

It was something I never dared to fly to the sky with people.

Now this huge bamboo kite is in front of you, and you can see the test flight effect immediately, so the river beach is already hustle and bustle, and there are countless people who flock to the city and other places outside the city after hearing the news, all wanting to witness this extraordinary wonder with their own eyes.

It took nearly an hour to clean the runway. Tens of thousands of people had gathered on the river beach, which scared the imperial guards guarding the city gate. Not only did they send soldiers from the two garrisons to maintain order, but they also reported the incident to the palace and the lieutenant's mansion.

The two horses used to pull the glider also tied ropes. Two strong guards rode on the horse's back, let go of the rope for more than twenty feet, and then tied them on the saddle.

"Mr. Marquis, you can start!" Meng Yun and a group of playboys also shouted for an hour with the busy command. At this time, their foreheads were covered with sweat, but they were more excited.

If this bamboo pot that can lead people to fly will be really successful...

Damn, I can't imagine that exciting scene. Even if you can't fly high, it's enough to fly to the top of Xianyang City. Even if you can't fly far, as long as you can fly across the Wei River, it is an amazing feat.

I guess... the emperor will be alarmed!

Several people surrounded Chen Xu and looked at the glider with excitement and nervousness.

As Chen Xu said at the beginning, as a representative of the playboy world, you must play such high-end activities to be exciting.

However, the reality they didn't know was that the emperor had been alarmed.

At this time, the emperor's carriage had already left the palace under the protection of a group of Xuanwu Guards and Imperial Guards, and was ringing along the street to open the road and heading straight for the east gate of the city.

"You can start, just slow down first, and try the balance between the flying wing and the overall..."

Before Chen Xu could finish his words, the crowd in the direction of the city gate was stirring and quickly dispersed. More than ten horses galloped through the crowd. On the horses were all warriors wearing black masked masked and carrying large swords.

"Report, Master Qinghe, Your Majesty is coming to watch the test of bamboo kites that can carry people to fly!" A Xuanwu Guard with a dragon pattern embroidered on his chest jumped off his horse and reported loudly.

"Emperor... the emperor is really here?" A group of playboys came back to their senses after staying alone for a long time and looked at Chen Xu together.

Chen Xu shrugged and said, "Then wait a moment, I hope the experiment will not fail, otherwise you will be beaten again when you go back!"

"I'm afraid of being beaten, I'm just being beaten up, but if I can really fly up, hehe..." A playboy was so excited that he couldn't stand up.

"Yes, this idea is very good. Flying has always been a dream for mankind. If the glider is really successful in experimenting, it will be a precedent for human flight from now on. Your names will be like the master craftsman and will be remembered for thousands of years..." Chen Xu gently patted the playboy's shoulder and said with emotion.

The current Qin Dynasty is different from the later Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

People in this era were full of interest and courage in exploration of the unknown. Before Confucianism became mainstream, the disciples of the hundred schools of thought were not all studied in the field of thought. There were also many practical schools, and they had begun to have scientific germination and theoretical research. Many schools did not believe in ghosts, gods, yin and yang and five elements. They were more willing to view and analyze the existence and development laws of things with a rational perspective. The most famous one was the Mohist school, and even the Legal school and various craftsmen's agriculture and pastoral schools.

The Mohist school was the first school in the world to propose the principle of linear propagation of light. In particular, the founder Mo Zhai not only had extremely rich philosophical thoughts, but also had rigorous logical inferences. It not only used sufficient reasons to refute the famous white horse non-horse theory, but also had effective research in optics, mechanics, mechanics, geometry, etc., and even summarized and proposed various laws. The geometry in the Mo Classic was earlier than that of the Western Euclidean geometry, especially the study of optics and mechanics, which was more detailed and in-depth than the Western theories of the contemporary era, such as small hole imaging, concave mirrors and convex mirrors for light dispersion and aggregate, lever principle, interpretation and application of pulleys and inclined planes for forces, etc.

The most famous thing is to use the extreme theory to refute Zhuangzi's argument that "a foot of a foot can be taken half of it every day, and it will be endless forever."

Of course, from the perspective of later science, we cannot say that Zhuangzi's theory is wrong, because Zhuangzi proposed a concept of nothingness. If it is subdivided into the state of particles, this theory is really hard to say right or wrong. However, Mozi used the limit mathematical problem to look at this problem. If a line segment is intercepted half and half, the two endpoints will be infinitely close, and the final result will inevitably be merged together. This is the principle of limit approximation, and this principle was not proposed until the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, many people have to say that Laoke is advocating ancient Chinese civilization, but this is indeed the fact that the prosperity of hundreds of schools of thought and academic freedom during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period finally gave birth to the Mohist school of science with rigorous logic.

But in the end, the controversy among hundreds of schools of thought became a serious challenge to the unified pattern of China, and the freedom of thought and academic thought became a bond to national stability and unity. Under constant suppression, scientific development ended, and the development of natural science gradually opened up the gap with Western civilization, and turned to another completely different path.

In fact, from the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, the germination of science began to be strangled. Although the Qin Dynasty also encouraged the innovation and development of craftsmanship, strict laws also became a shackle for the development of science.

But science can still save Daqin at the moment.

Including Meng Yun and this group of dandy, they were not bound by Confucian ideas. They also inherited the concept of freedom of thought, and they also had a passionate spirit of adventure and innovation.

When theology begins to decline and philosophy begins to be confused, science becomes the only driving force that mankind can continue to develop and move forward.

Just like the current Academy of Sciences, the craftsmen and craftsmen in it do not have a fixed research direction, but they have begun to accept various scientific theories instilled by Chen Xu, and they are also very interested in it. Mathematics, geometry, physics, and machinery have become topics of research and discussion.

Stop Li Si from burning books and the emperor from killing Fang Taoist sorcerers, retaining various predecessors of the academic thoughts of hundreds of sects, allowing the heirs to continue to carry forward these sects, eliminate the essence of the rough, eliminate the false and retain the truth, and slowly integrate to form a new academic trend, including carrying forward the spirit of science to explore nature and explore the future of mankind. This is the most correct path Chen Xu believes.

The single Confucianism and Legalism rule the country is a dead end and will gradually develop into a heavy shackle.

In fact, this shackle has appeared, and the disadvantages of magical powers have long been fully reflected, and it has reached a point where it must be changed. If Chen Xu does not promote this reform, the Qin Dynasty will be over.

Qin Shihuang could not live forever, Qin could not last forever, and human civilization could not exist forever. The ending at some point may also be a new beginning, but a way to continue at this node must be found.

Although science is imperfect and many phenomena that transcend natural forces cannot be explained, they are already the best way Chen Xu can know.

This has something to do with his vision. Using technology to promote the development of Daqin is Chen Xu's only way. As for right or wrong, he cannot solve it.

This is all he can do. After a hundred years, the world has nothing to do with him. He just wants to fulfill his very simple wish and satisfy China's dream that has been regrettable for two thousand years.

On the river beach outside the east gate, tens of thousands of people gradually knew that the emperor was coming to watch the flight test, so the noise gradually subsided and slowly dispersed hundreds of feet, leaving a wide passage leading directly to the city gate.

Twenty minutes later, with the neat and dense footsteps and horse hooves getting closer, and there were continuous sounds of oxen horns and gongs. Finally, a long group of imperial guards holding dragon flags and long spears, all over their armored armored troops came out one after another and scattered outside the east gate. Under the escort of hundreds of black armored Xuanwu guards, the emperor's carriage slowly came out and finally stopped ten feet away from the glider.

The car door opened, wearing a black garment embroidered with dragon patterns, the First Emperor, wearing a sky-scaling crown, got off the carriage with the support of the eunuch.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor!"

Tens of thousands of onlookers on the river beach fell to their knees outside the protective wall of soldiers, and countless officials and geniuses with status and status were bowing and bowing.
