354 I don't know if there is a moon in the sky (3)

In his book "Physics", Zhu Cixuan first announced the principle of static pressure transmission, that is, the pressure added to the closed liquid is transmitted from the liquid to all directions without changing the size. Therefore, even if Bryce Pascal perfected this law two years later, the Ming people would not name it by his name. They would only call it: the principle of static pressure transmission according to Zhu Cixuan's name. And Pascal would not use it as a unit of pressure.

Wang Zheng and others named this new unit: An.

Because this experiment was first "pressed" by hand, and the verbs are obviously not suitable as units.

As for the unit of "an" that seizes the current, it is not within the scope of these people's consideration. Moreover, according to the laws of scientific development, as long as the Ming Dynasty is not destroyed, Eastern and Western cultures will continue to exchange, and with the abnormal number of Zhu Cilang, it is estimated that the current has nothing to do with ampere.

"One peace means applying once force on one square inch." Wang Zheng concluded.

"Once... what is the force?" Zhu Cixuan asked in confusion. Of course, he knew very well that Sir Newton is only one year old now, so it is impossible to use "cow" as the unit of force. But it is okay to use "horse". Is there an "egg" relationship?

"We set the force that holds up one or two objects as once, which is about the weight of an egg." Wang Zhengdao.

——It really has something to do with "egg".

Zhu Cixuan tried hard to maintain a normal expression on his face.

"We have now calculated through Your Highness's theory and deduction: an object with a mass of one or two has a gravitational force of nineteen. Four." Song Yingxing said as he took out his small notebook he carried with him, opened a page, and presented it to Zhu Cixuan.

Zhu Ciyang indeed saw what he was most afraid of: ㄍ=>ㄇx10〩?〤.

——This is simply garbled!

Zhu Cixuan returned the book to Song Yingxing and returned to the topic: "This has to do with the manned Kongming lantern you have studied... Oh, that thing will be called a hot air balloon in the future! What does it have to do with hot air balloons?" Zhu Cixuan no longer intends to indulge this naming setting that subverts "common sense". He should have taken it as a warning when the "jujube pit ball" appeared.

Song Yingxing said seriously: "Your Highness, only by calculating the gravity that an object is subject to take off can we know how much buoyancy it should have to make it take off. This is really the basis of heat, the hot air balloon, and we must not ignore it."

"Can buoyancy be calculated now?" Zhu Cixuan said: "I remember what I said."

"It's calculated." Song Yingxing said: "The key to hot air balloons now is that we can't find a suitable continuous heat source and generate enough energy."

——Energy... Then Joule will definitely not be used.

"Is the unit of energy defined?" Zhu Cixuan asked.

"There has not been found a conclusive experimental method to define its unit." Song Yingxing said: "This is also the bottleneck in the development of hot air balloons."

"I hope to use 'Jiao' as the unit." Zhu Cixuan said sincerely.

"Your Highness, what is the deep meaning?" Song Yingxing was very puzzled.

Zhu Cixuan didn't plan to say more. He asked again: "There is still a problem with heat source, isn't it okay to use coal?"

"Your Highness, you can float up, but the efficiency is too low and the floating height is not enough." Song Yingxing said: "We are trying to use the refined hot oil, which has enough energy, but the combustion speed is too fast and consumes a lot."

Zhu Ciyang leaned back and almost lost confidence in the science and technology tree. He named it the Royal Institute of Technology rather than the Royal Academy of Sciences. It was to use the talents of these people to prioritize the improvement of technical capabilities. Why did they embark on a path of scientific research? Isn’t it that Chinese people do not have the concept of “science”?

Is it because of the influence of Thaisy thinking?

I'm afraid not.

Many people criticized that China did not have the concept of "science", and its argument was that the ancient Chinese valued phenomena and neglected essence. However, these people ignored a problem: because of the natural environment and technical means, precocious civilizations rarely observe the essence from phenomena, and even the observed "essence" is not the real "essence".

This is the same in the West, so Newton is needed to break Aristotle's ancient Greek mechanics.

If there are enough technical means and methods to inspire, it would be natural to explore the origin of all things with the ability to summarize laws and nurture modern scientific ideas. In the original historical time and space, the wise men in the late Ming Dynasty, inspired by the Thais' experimental method, had already embarked on the route of summarizing formulas and experimental proofs, but because the Qing Dynasty rule had to stop this process.

If Xiong Mingyu's "Gezhicao" could continue to be popular for twenty years, no one would say stupid words like "middle school is the body, Western learning is the purpose."

In the eyes of the scholars and officials of the Ming Dynasty, Chinese and Western theories were simply "same mind and same reason", but because of the differences in language. However, when the Ming Dynasty's science lags behind the Thais, they also admitted frankly that this was "the emperor lost his official position and learned from the four barbarians". It was enough to learn it, and there was no embarrassment at all, and there was no obstacle to "the ancestors' achievements".

Song Yingxing seemed not to care about Zhu Cilang's loss and smiled and said, "Your Highness, I have been inspired by the miscellaneous dramas when I was considering how to save the hot tinder recently."

"Oh?" Zhu Cixuan forced a smile: "Let's hear it."

"In the miscellaneous play, there is a fire-breathing show that contains strong wine and blows toward the torch to form a fire dragon. I was thinking that if you blow the air with strong wind and turn the ignition oil into a mist, it can fully burn and make full use of its effectiveness."

——Why don’t you get an internal combustion engine?

Zhu Cixuan stared at Song Yingxing for a long time and said, "Let's solve the current problem first and try to use coal and hot turbulent oil together. Now we have enough coal in our hands, but hot turbulent oil is a little nervous."

Although Shengli Oilfield is under the control of the East Palace, even though we know that there is such a treasure underground, we cannot find it, and even if we find it, there is no conditions for mining. So we can only wait for the recovery of Shaanxi and the centralized mining of the Annexation Oilfield.

Seeing that Song Yingxing was about to refute, Zhu Cixuan couldn't help but interrupt, "Everything cannot be done in one step. With the hot air balloon, how many less fire road piers can we build? Not to mention the savings of silver, the savings of manpower alone are very considerable. The hot air balloon floats for a short time, so build a few more turns of the air. Even if it is calculated like this, it is still worth it."

Song Yingxing finally put his words back and said, "Your Highness, if it's just like that, now you can send someone to learn how to recharge and operate."

“Is it difficult to operate?”

"If the operation is not done properly, the airbag will be burned." Song Yingxing said.

Zhu Cilang had no choice but to nod, always feeling that in this way, it seemed that the cost of hot air balloons might not be low. However, these people could become the foundation of the early air force, at least they would not be afraid of going to heaven.

It can also be considered as planting a tree for future generations.

After listening to the progress of other projects, Zhu Cixuan finally calmed down.

Think about it carefully, my previous mood was just because of my prejudices.

In fact, Wang Zheng, Xiong Mingyu and others are all great masters who are well-versed in the world. How could they not understand Arabic numerals and Latin? And they were able to persist in the translation of the entire country based on the Chinese literary tradition, rather than seeking temporary convenience.

"Mr. Tang," Zhu Cixuan asked suddenly, "What language is the most common among the countries in Taixi?"

Joshua Chan didn't know why Zhu Cixuan suddenly asked this, as if it had nothing to do with today's topic. But he still owed his body and replied politely: "Your Highness, if you are in the upper class, Latin can be used in general."

"Why don't you use English?" Zhu Cixuan asked again.

"Ah?" Joshua Chan was completely confused. Why did the Crown Prince have such a problem? Because he had contacted those rough, savage, dirty Anglo-Saxons?

Truth is only within the range of cannons, and the same is true for language.

The ancient Romans used daggers and javelins to spread Latin throughout Europe, and even became the first language of Catholicism, as well as a common language among scholars and nobles. Is it because of the science of Latin? No, it is just because of the powerful force of the Romans.

If Hannibal defeated Rome, perhaps the Europeans now speak Carthage-Phoenician; if Saladin hit the European continent, they would definitely speak Arabic; if Genghis Khan focused his rule on Europe, Mongolia would have become a common language.

Similarly, French replaced Latin as a language that nobles from all countries competed to learn, not because of its beauty, but because of the rise of France's national strength. English eventually became popular all over the world, and because of Britain's empire of the Sun and the United States' influence on the war in World War II.

Mathematics and other scientific symbols are also a language, a language that hides national boundaries. Early scientific symbols were mainly Greek and Latin. With the leapfrog development of modern science in Europe and the United States, especially the United States, English also won victory on this battlefield.

As an Englishman, Newton created the "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" in 1687, and published three versions during his lifetime, all of which were in Latin. It was not until after his death that this book was translated into English by Mott in 1792.

Is this possible happening to British and American scientists in the 21st century?

It will only happen to scientists in the Third World.

No matter how skillful theories or research results are, they can only write them in English first and publish them in core journals recognized by the United Kingdom and the United States before they can obtain corresponding honors. These wisdom achievements may never have the chance to translate them into their native language in their entire lives.

Language, scientific language, is also a war.

Zhu Cilang sat alone in the hall, facing the dining plate without any appetite.

He is reflecting.

Reflect on your own cowardice and childishness.

If he was a hero of a generation, if he could have such a profound understanding, what would he say?

Unify it!

And it uses your own language, text, and unit of weights and measures as unified standards!

Just like the First Emperor. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, novels are better, updated and faster!
