Chapter 1,095 Heliocentric theory

I have to finish recording my poems with tears in my eyes.

Cai Que didn't even know how he got back to the table. He only knew that Guan Ling'er's string song had started singing.

Su You was drunk and drowsy, leaning on his chair, tapping his wine glass with his chopsticks to make time.

"Dengzi Pavilion is in Bingxing, and Zhushen is close to Quzhou. Looking up at it, the high wind is blowing the clothes and fur..."

After the banquet, several people made an appointment to take a break, and then began formal consultations on the Song and Liao business negotiations.

Su You also enthusiastically invited Xiao Xi to go to Zhongmou to serve as a technical consultant for catching hedgehogs, but Xiao Xi coldly refused.

Xiao Xi had his own plan in mind. He wanted to use these few days to find out the reason why Su You lost his temper when he heard the suggestion of buying timber trade.

On the way home, Zhang Qi burst into laughter: "Cai Chizheng's expression when he was halfway through recording the poem... was as if he had eaten shit... Hahaha, young master, this is a great win!"

Su You smiled and said: "As long as he still puts national affairs first, I will still choose to cooperate with him. Cai Chizheng is capable, but it is a bit annoying to keep digging holes for me."

"It's just a beating like this, let him know not to think that other than himself, others will not play that trick, and not to bully honest people!"

Zhang Qi was a little gloating: "The last sentence is pure nonsense, but I think he is blind when he plays with our Su family's article! The young master is still kind after all!"

Su You smiled and said: "If you were not kind, you would be on your way to New Songzhou now!"

Zhang Qi was angry: "I told you she is Lu Ruo's friend!"

Su You didn't take it seriously: "You have a history of letting people have sex for free and paying for it, so you have to beat it from time to time!"

…

In the Song Dynasty, there was a ten-day holiday, and there were also various holidays.

The Military Aircraft Department works a lot of overtime, so Suyou implemented a more humane "rest system."

You can adjust the days you want to take off. For example, if you need to work overtime during a holiday, you can postpone the day and choose when to take off.

Su You almost never took a vacation. In his mind, getting off work at 3pm every day was enough to make a living.

In this way, he can still gain a reputation for diligence, because most officials at his level work directly in the mansion except when they are in court.

Su You was very happy to have three days of rest, but the younger sister and Chen Zhaoming were on summer vacation at the Royal Institute of Technology, which lasted for two months.

Now everyone gathered their carriages and horses on the outskirts of the city and set off together towards Zhongmou.

Su You still did not put up a guard of honor, because this time he could use his prestige - the princesses of Wei and Shu also had to drive together.

In addition to them, they were accompanied by Shi Wei, Su Xiaomei, Lu Ruo, Zhang Dunli, Chen Zhaoming, Su Mai, Su Chi, Han Jiayan, Zhang Qi and Cheng Yue.

Bian Guan and Wang Yanbi also rode horses. This was a very fun outing and the two children were very happy.

Zhongmu is located exactly halfway between Zhengzhou and Kaifeng, eighty miles away. The asphalt roads are in very good condition, and new four-wheeled carriages and horses can be reached within a day.

More than ten miles to the north of the road is the Yellow River Embankment, and to the south is the Bian Canal. The official road was built close to the Bian Canal.

There was a heavy rainstorm yesterday, which made the two children worried for a long time, fearing that they would not be able to set off today. As a result, the heavy rain came and went quickly. Apart from causing the water level of the Bian Canal to rise again, it seemed to have no impact.

The wheat has been harvested, and now corn is grown in the fields.

The waterwheel on the roadside has been turning non-stop. It is the season for grinding noodles and reeling summer silk. Several farmers work together and work hard to produce a steady stream of output every day.

Zhongmou is a treasure land, sandwiched between two big cities. As long as there is output, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell it.

With the Yellow River on one side, Bianqu and many small rivers on the other, and the remaining foothills of Fulong Mountain on the south, the water resources are very rich.

The use of various hydraulic irrigation machinery and the construction of water conservancy have turned all the dry fields and sloping fields in this area into fertile farmland.

Without the drought, coupled with the vigorous promotion of Laishan No. 1, the three areas and four auxiliary areas outside the Kaifeng area have now become a granary with an average yield of over 300 kilograms per mu.

The method of intensive farming has created more rotational fallow land, and on those lands where alfalfa is planted, the chickens, ducks, livestock at home, and the green manure in the fields will all have a good source of feed and fertilizer.

If you are generous and plant a few acres of sweet elephant grass, you can raise two cows or two horses.

I heard that the Royal Institute of Technology is studying a kind of northern pasture - chicken grass. As the name suggests, it allows chickens to stand on it and rest. "It is so beautiful and large that a horse can only eat ten grass to be full."

This kind of grass is more adaptable to the northern climate than sweet elephant grass. Su Che and Chao Buzhi keenly discovered this thing in the north, and then quietly brought it back to the Song Dynasty.

Shi Wei took the colander to the Princess of Shu's carriage. Wang Yanbi and Bian Guan each held a wooden sword in their hands, simulating the Western Army's Six Cuts from the Horse, striving to move smoothly while marching.

Su You and Chen Zhaoming walked together and chatted.

After years of research, the Polytechnic Institute finally proposed a hypothesis this year - the five stars, including the earth, revolve around the sun!

The discovery of this problem can be traced back to the five-star tracer that Su You and Zhang Tianshi jointly designed and produced more than 20 years ago to help calculate the timing of solar and lunar eclipses.

It was a computing instrument running on six orbits. Through the crank and gear mechanism, the copper ball representing the five stars and the copper plate representing the moon could move in correlation on the orbits with scales.

Astronomers at Si Tianjian have always been fascinated by the retrograde phenomenon of Mars, and have been using instruments to deduce its movement patterns.

This instrument has a very excellent design, that is, the copper plate representing the moon itself has a scale and the moon phases are engraved on the outer edge.

One revolution of the copper coil represents the completion of one solar year, while one rotation of the copper coil represents the completion of thirty days.

Because this is an instrument for calculating calendar and five-star time, everyone has been using it as a calculator.

Until one day, when Chen Zhaoming was using this instrument, he saw that the copper ball representing Mars had a relative position reverse movement between the moon disk and the pen holder on the desk in the distance!

The problem of Mars retrograde has been a problem that has troubled astronomers in the Song Dynasty for a long time. Everyone knows that this phenomenon exists, but they cannot explain it perfectly.

It was like a flash of lightning flashed in Chen Zhaoming's mind, and a model of a galaxy instantly appeared in his mind!

The center of this tracer should be where the sun is! The five stars and the moon are all rotating around the center of the circle!

This is not an instrument for calculating time, but it can also explain the position of the five stars in this system at a certain point in time!

The reason why Mars is retrograde is because the constellation used for reference, just like the pen holder, is very far away from the five-star system!

Everything is explained. If the moon on the five-star tracer is replaced by the earth, and then the moon is placed on the periphery of the earth to rotate...

At that moment, Chen Zhaoming felt that he had become a giant connecting heaven and earth. The starry sky that humans had been looking up to for three generations had finally lost its mysterious veil, and the beautiful laws of the universe were magically displayed in his mind.

He immediately rushed to the Polytechnic, found his little sister, and explained the system to her.

After listening to the lesson plan, the little girl - this is the most perfect explanation so far. We will prove it through observation and calculation!

Soon, the top astronomers of the Song Dynasty gathered together - Su Rong, Su Song, Chen Zhaoming, Zhang Tianshi, and Zhao Zongyou.

There were also mathematicians and academicians from various colleges—Wei Pu, Jia Xian, Zhu Ji, Liu Yi...all gathered at the Royal Institute of Technology and started heated discussions and rough calculations.

The final calculation result is that this theory is very likely to be correct!

Even if it is incorrect, then this is a new calendar deduction system, and the calendar under the guidance of this system will be more accurate!

In May, Chen Zhaoming and Zhao Zongyou jointly reported to Zhao Xu the latest research results of the Royal Institute of Technology, Zhongshan Institute of Technology, and Si Tianjian.

In this research result, the sun is the center of the five stars and the earth, while the moon is rotating around the earth. Under this system, many astronomical phenomena that could not be accurately explained and predicted before have been perfectly explained.

explain!

The five-star trace instrument first made by Su You and Xiao Tianshi actually coincided with the laws of heaven's movement. However, everyone, including Su You and Xiao Tianshi themselves, regarded it as a tool for time recording and calculation.

I have never observed and paid attention to spatial changes.

Such a coincidence must be said to be God's will!
