Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1740 Turns into a dragon in case of wind and rain

This Li Tian kept saying yes, but he was suspicious in his heart, he couldn't help looking at Fang Jifan and said: "Master, I don't know what the purpose of these buildings is. Although the students look here every day, they have thought about it for many days. I understand... If you say this place is a residence, I'm afraid..."

  Fang Jifan glanced at Li Tian, ​​and saw the deep doubt on Li Tian's face.

This is the difference between a lifetime of experience. Some things may not be easy to understand when you say them. When things are implemented, you will understand them without saying them. What to ask, you don’t understand the extra things, so hurry up and build things for me.”

   Immediately, Fang Jifan returned directly to Zhen Guo Mansion.

  As the Duke of Zhen Guo, Fang Jifan regards the Zhen Guo Mansion as his home. It has been well repaired, and it is finally magnificent. Working here and taking a nap occasionally makes people feel more comfortable.

  As usual, the new issue of the weekly magazine will be sent to Fang Jifan's desk at this time.

  Nowadays...weekly papers are becoming more and more watery. Of course, it does not mean that they are useless, but more papers are used to demonstrate and follow the path of the predecessors to continuously improve various new theories.

  The kind of breakthrough that can make people's eyes shine, after all, there are not many. Some academicians even uttered wild words that people in the past have already explored the road, and people in the future only need to tinker with it.

  Fang Jifan picked up the weekly magazine, glanced at it lightly, but stopped somewhere in the weekly magazine.

   Here's an obscure treatise...on magnets.

  The interesting thing about this paper is that it was previously recognized that amber or glass would become magnetic after being rubbed, so people called this phenomenon magnetization.

  In today's Daming, glass is not new at all, it is everywhere in the streets. It is precisely because of the magnetism produced by friction that no one doubts this point of view.

   Few people pay attention to the research on frictional magnetism. After all... this thing is not very useful. Since friction can generate magnetism, why don't I get a magnet instead of rubbing it out?

   But what is really interesting about this article "On Magnet" is that it denies the idea that friction produces magnetism.

Instead, he believes that what is produced by friction should be some kind of substance that has not yet been discovered in this world, and even this person has carried out some simple experiments to prove his own judgment, and the final result is, Magnetic phenomena are quite different from those produced by friction.

  For example, although the thing produced by friction has a magnetic effect, it can absorb any substance. A magnet can only attract iron. At the same time, magnets have positive and negative poles, the same **** repels each other, and the opposite **** attracts each other. The substances produced by friction can only attract.

  Finally, under his argument, he put forward a bold idea, the substance produced by friction can even sputter sparks, this substance is not something that people understand.

   Of course...the paper...obviously the inference is correct.

  However... Obviously, the judges of the weekly magazine don't pay much attention to this paper. Although they agree with his verification process and his hypothesis, they still think that this kind of research has no practical significance.

  So, although it was published in the weekly magazine, it was only in a corner of the weekly magazine, unknown to the public.

  Fang Jifan suddenly felt interesting, this **** is quite good at thinking.

  In fact, in the entire Xishan Academy, there are many people who are thinking about it all day long.

  On the one hand, Xishan College has been guiding and encouraging students to study the world.

   On the other hand, the emergence of weekly magazines has transformed many studies into fame and fortune.

  Many predecessors, because of research, published papers, immediately became famous all over the world, or received huge royalties, and even became academicians and bachelors.

  Because of this, the other underachievers in the academy are very interested in 'gewu'.

  Any kind of phenomenon, they are thinking about it, thinking of a certain possibility, so they think about how to verify this possibility or conjecture, and then publish a piece of theory that overturns the previous ones.

  After the theory has been subverted, more conjectures have been confirmed, or even, on this basis, others have demonstrated new possibilities and conjectures.

   This is a gradual process.

  Fang Jifan glanced at the author's name of the paper, and couldn't help saying: "This name sounds familiar, have you seen it before? Come, come, call me Xiao Jingteng."

  A moment later, someone came out of breath, and seeing Fang Jifan, he was very excited, and quickly bowed down: "The disciple has met the master."

  Fang Jifan looked at this person carefully, and felt that this guy looked familiar, so he couldn't help asking: "Have we met?"

Xiao Jingteng immediately said: "Master, speaking of it, I have seen it. Do you still remember, more than ten years ago, at that time, Master ordered a real person to pray for rain. If it doesn't rain, the students will be killed to sacrifice to the sky."

   "Ah, there is such a thing!" Fang Jifan felt horrified, when he did such a thing, he really couldn't imagine.

Xiao Jingteng then said: "At the beginning, it was also thanks to Master. After praying for rain, the disciple was originally a small captain in the Jinwu Guard, but he made a contribution and sealed a hundred households of the Jinwu Guard. At that time, the disciple Then I knew that Mr. Shi is really a great person. Later, I heard that Mr. Xishan Academy was openly established to recruit disciples. The students tried their best to enroll and study. We have learned a lot from Master together, and every time I think about it, my disciples can't help crying when they think of Master's kindness."

Seeing that he really looked grateful, Fang Jifan felt a little apologetic: "Hey...maybe at that time...my master, I...I...had a brain disorder, you know, I...ah...don't take offense, I used to be unhappy Let him go with the wind."

  Xiao Jingteng immediately moved and said: "Master, you must never say that. Without Master, there would be no disciples today. This kind of re-creation cannot be repaid."

  Xiao Jingteng was a little moved. When he suddenly heard his master summon him, he was shocked in his heart. What is he?

  Seeing Master’s apologetic expression again, and knowing that Master felt guilty towards him, he was even more moved. The so-called scholar dies for a confidant...

  Fang Jifan tapped his fingers on the copy, and got to the point: "Here is an essay called "On Magnet", but you wrote it?"

   "Yeah." Xiao Jingteng immediately showed shame.

To be honest, he has been doing research for more than ten years since he entered school, and his research direction has always been biased. Unlike other seniors, some of them have already achieved fruitful results, and those engineering students who do not have much technical content are now also They are all alone, only themselves, still researching, and there is no result.

  As for this article on magnets, he has studied it for many years, but he himself knows that this achievement exists, but it is very inconspicuous in the weekly magazine.

  He hurriedly said: "Yes, it was written by the disciple, and the disciple insulted the master."

  Fang Jifan shook his head and showed a little smile: "I find this paper very interesting. Why, what is the substance you mentioned?"

   "This..." Xiao Jingteng showed a bit of annoyance: "The student didn't think about it."

  So Fang Jifan's eyes lit up, and he said without thinking: "The sparks produced by friction are called lightning, so why not call them electricity?"

  Xiao Jingteng nodded repeatedly: "Master is willing to give the name, which is the best. From then on, the students will call him Dian."

  Xiao Jingteng's heart was filled with turmoil. He never imagined that Master...was interested in his useless research.

   As expected of a great master!

  Fang Jifan immediately said: "You should continue to study this thing in depth."

   "Yes, but..."

   "But what?" Fang Jifan looked at Xiao Jingteng with a pleasing expression.

Xiao Jingteng smiled wryly: "Although the students' research has made some progress, in the past ten years, the students have been observing and verifying every single day. It's just a pity... So far, although they have made small achievements, the students still don't understand what the electricity is for. Not only that...students don't even really see what the electricity is."

   "Haven't seen it?" Fang Jifan scratched his head.

  Yes, this is indeed a regrettable thing. It is rare that this guy has researched it, but science is like this. Once the research has stagnated, maybe a hundred years have passed, and there may not be any breakthroughs.

  Xiao Jingteng is facing such a situation now.

  But it’s a pity to miss the results like this!

   So Fang Jifan said: "Do you want to have a try, or rather, want to capture this electricity?"

  Xiao Jingteng said solemnly: "When you hear the Tao, you can die in the evening. This disciple has studied this thing for more than ten years. If you can make a breakthrough, you are willing to die."

   This request is reasonable.

  Fang Jifan thought about it, in fact...Fang Jifan is also having a headache now.

   After all, he is not a science student. If he is asked to research electricity, ten Fang Jifans may not be able to research it.

However, Fang Jifan knew a little about the general development of electricity. Just because he knew it, he could avoid many detours. This is the case in any scientific research. If there are fewer detours and more breakthroughs, then... everything will come naturally and advance by leaps and bounds. .

  Fang Jifan didn't hesitate any longer, and said: "Since that's the case, I will satisfy you as a teacher. Come, come... get me the rope."

   Outside, someone soon took the rope and came in.

  Xiao Jingteng blinked, looking puzzled.

  Fang Jifan pointed at Xiao Jingteng: "Come, come, come, tie up this dog."

  Xiao Jingteng still had a smile on her face, but her eyes were a little blank: "Shigong...Shigong..."

   Several big men had already pushed Xiao Jingteng down, and then began to bind him.

  Xiao Jingteng understood something now, this... seems to be a familiar taste.

  He yelled: "Shigong, Shigong, I am Xiao Jingteng, Shigong..."
