The most arrogant in history

Chapter 638: Dahan Mathematics Academy.

Jin Feng took out several books and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have simply sorted out my confusions or marked them in the books. Please see..."

Some of these books are translations from ancient Greek texts.

Some of them were compiled by Editor-in-Chief Lao He.

Ye Kun took a quick look and found it quite messy. He smiled and said:

"The summary of the problem is not detailed enough. You can spend a few more days to sort it out, and I will arrange time to answer it for you. By the way, if you have time during this period, you can invite Lao He to my imperial study room, and we can discuss it when we are free."

As the emperor, Ye Kun was very busy and it was difficult for him to squeeze out complete time, so he could only find time to do his work whenever he had time.

Jin Feng hesitated and whispered, "The imperial study is in the palace. I'm afraid it's not convenient for outsiders to enter..."

"It's okay, I say yes."

Ye Kun waved his hand and took Jin Feng to visit the research institute to see the latest lathes, as well as the steam engine and chemical research institute.

He Tiantian accompanied him.

Ye Kun looked at it and said:

"Mathematics is the foundation of all disciplines. Without mathematics, there would be no science. Our Chinese mathematics is quite impressive, but it has not formed a system, which is not conducive to promotion.

Therefore, our school education should build a complete mathematical system, focusing on logic and process deduction. "

Jin Feng agreed very much and nodded:

"The mathematics of the Huaxia Kingdom before only had calculation results, but no derivation process, let alone the many mathematical formulas and laws provided by the emperor. The mathematics before did not have clear logic and was not easy to promote."

“It’s not easy to promote learning, and it can’t guide students to think, so it’s hard to make greater progress.”

Ye Kun nodded and said, "The scientific and technological elites in the Science and Technology City must also strengthen and consolidate their mathematical knowledge. Otherwise, many research projects will reach a bottleneck."

In recent years, the Science and Technology City has focused on practice, but theoretical learning has not been taken seriously.

Many scientific researchers are so absorbed in their research that they forget to recharge their batteries.

Including Pang Jia, Sun Yi and others, they have strong hands-on skills and have creative ideas, but their mathematical knowledge is not up to standard.

On the other hand, He Tiantian has a solid foundation in mathematics and has always been the leader in the science and technology city.

He Tiantian sighed and said, "I often tell everyone to keep learning theoretical knowledge, but everyone says they are busy, or just flips through the books and refuses to delve into it."

"Then make it compulsory to study."

Ye Kun thought for a moment and said, "From the university town, we will transfer a group of professors of mathematics, physics and chemistry from Tai College to come to the science and technology city to teach. Researchers will attend the lectures in batches and take the exams together. Those who fail the exams will be demoted and have their salaries and positions reduced."

He Tiantian smiled and said, "That's a good idea. I should also study further. I'm afraid that some teachers in Tai College are not as good as the big guys in the Science and Technology City in some aspects."

Ye Kun laughed: "That's fine, we can communicate with each other, discuss with each other, and learn new things by reviewing the old."

There are some young people in the Science and Technology City who were originally top students in universities.

Tai Academy was only established a few years ago, and the teachers are still exploring and learning on their own.

During dinner, Pang Jia and Sun Yi also came to join them.

Ye Kun asked Jin Feng to briefly report on the observatory's recent achievements while they ate.

Jin Feng nodded and said with a smile:

"We have found seven of the eight planets the Emperor mentioned. In addition to Earth, there are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus. There is only one Neptune, and it is still uncertain. Jupiter's flares and Saturn's rings can be seen clearly in the telescope. And Saturn's satellites have also been discovered. Four.

The orbits of the celestial bodies that have been discovered have also been calculated.

Over the years, our observatory and university astronomy department have trained more than 300 outstanding students, who have gone to various parts of the country to do astronomical research.

After the pendulum clock was invented, we were confident that we could calculate the period of the Earth's orbit around the Sun and the Moon's orbit around the Earth accurately to the second. By the way, we have calculated the solar and lunar eclipses within the next 300 years, so there should be no mistakes.

According to the latest calculations, on March 16 this year, a total lunar eclipse will occur throughout Zhuo County starting at 9:50 p.m.

Ye Kun nodded and smiled, giving high praise.

It is amazing that astronomy has achieved such great success in just over a decade.

In fact, there is still a lot of progress in astronomical research.

For example, the principle of tidal locking is also understood and verified by Goldwind.

Pang Jia suddenly said, "Brother Emperor, you know everything, but do you know the origin of the universe?"

Ye Kun was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Mythology says that it was Pangu who created the world. In fact, I think the birth of the universe originated from a big bang."

"What was it that exploded? Was it something like our gunpowder?"

"more or less."

"But who made this gunpowder that is so powerful?"

"This...I don't know."

Ye Kun shook his head and smiled, then said thoughtfully: "Maybe I know something, but I can't tell you now. When I die, I will leave a book to talk about my understanding of the universe."

Scientists of later generations cannot clearly explain the origin of the universe and are arguing with each other.

Ye Kun couldn't explain it even more clearly.

Even if Ye Kun could explain the theories of later generations clearly, no one would be able to understand them.

Pang Jia laughed and said, "Then why does the sun keep burning? Is the sun's ability just like a big coal ball?"

Ye Kun was very troubled and smiled bitterly: "The burning of a large coal ball may not be so fierce. I think the principle of the sun's burning should be a nuclear fusion reaction."

"What changes?"

"Nuclear fusion, the combination of atomic nuclei."

"Atomic nucleus, what is it?"

"It's something we can't see right now..."

Ye Kun began to sweat. He waved his hand and smiled, "Let's drink and talk about something practical. It's too early to study the principle of solar combustion now."

Jin Feng was very interested. He took out a pen and paper and wrote it down carefully.

In fact, it’s useless to write it down. Even if Ye Kun explained it, Jin Feng couldn’t understand the principle of nuclear fusion now.

After staying in the Science and Technology City for five days, Ye Kun, Jin Feng, Lao He, and the key personnel of the Science and Technology City conducted some theoretical discussions to resolve everyone's theoretical confusion.

Without scientific theoretical guidance, scientific research is like a blind man groping in the dark.

Only with theory can we have the right direction.

After returning to the imperial city, Ye Kun asked Jin Feng and Lao He to live in the imperial study, and he took time to explain some advanced mathematics.

Lao He is very old, in his sixties, but looks like he is eighty.

It seems like he will die at any moment.

But I am still learning and organizing my academic achievements.

In the imperial study, Lao He said:

"Your Majesty, there are several Romans at Kyushu University and Wan Guo University who are very good at mathematics. In some areas of research, they are even better than me. I think they can be reused and given preferential treatment."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "I have always been very kind to the outstanding scholars from Rome, India, and other empires. Over the years, we have absorbed tens of thousands of foreign scholars, all of whom were supported by the court. Does Lao He mean to give them more preferential treatment?"

Over the years, Ye Kun has been recruiting a large number of talents from Rome and other empires through traveling merchant groups.

In Zhuo County alone, there were more than 3,000 foreign scholars.

There are some in the Science and Technology City and even more in the universities.

Some foreign scholars were also sent abroad to work on construction and water conservancy projects.

Lao He thought for a while and said, "What I mean is, we should set up a special mathematics school and a special physics school. There will be no threshold, no distinction between people of the same race and those of different races. As long as they have made achievements, we will recruit them all and do specialized research."
