"The blue is the sea, and the rest is land!"
"Is this a map?" Brother Zheng asked in surprise.
Zhao Sheng nodded.
Meng Yi asked curiously, "Why is this map spherical?"
"Because what we are stepping on is a ball!"
As soon as Zhao Sheng said this, there was an uproar.
This is not what most people can believe.
But no one spoke out to refute.
Zhao Sheng originally thought that when the globe came out, many officials would object and disbelieve it, but right now, no one spoke out.
The feeling given to Zhao Sheng now is a bit like Zhao Gao pointing out that a deer is a horse.
The ministers in the court were afraid of Prince Zhao Sheng's identity, so they dared not speak out to refute.
"Absurd, if it's a ball, wouldn't you be able to return to Daqin if you go all the way to Daqin to the west!?" Brother Zheng was a little surprised, and he was dubious about what Zhao Sheng said.
Zhao Sheng nodded, and said affirmatively, "This is feasible, there are no ends of the earth in this world!"
"If that's the case, wouldn't the sea flow backwards!"
Faced with Brother Zheng's question, Zhao Sheng continued to explain patiently, "The earth has gravity, so the sea water will not flow backwards, and the fruit falling from the fruit tree will only fall to the ground instead of flying to the sky. .”
Brother Zheng's eyes lit up slightly, and he only half believed Zhao Sheng's words.
Brother Zheng continued to ask Zhao Sheng, "That day, there are so many lands that Da Qin has not yet touched?"
As for the credibility of the globe, Daqin will confirm it in the future.
What attracted Brother Zheng even more were the lands that had not yet been occupied by Daqin.
"My son gave my father a globe, implying that Daqin will occupy every boundary of the earth in the future. The land of Daqin will be illuminated by the sun regardless of day and night, and establish a Daqin Empire where the sun never sets!"
"Why does the sun never set?" Brother Zheng asked after a pause.
"If there is day on this side of the earth, and night on the back of the earth, the Great Qin Empire will never set the sun. As long as it is on the land of Great Qin, there will always be day!"
Zhao Sheng's words undoubtedly pointed out the direction of Daqin's future expansion to Brother Zheng.
Brother Zheng looked at the globe with deep eyes, and said domineeringly, "Why call the earth, why not call it Qin Qiu!"
All the land where the sun shines is the land of Great Qin.
Brother Zheng clenched his fists tightly, his heart beating violently to fight abroad.
Zhao Sheng was taken aback for a moment, then realized what Brother Zheng said about Qin Qiu, and said with a light smile, "It's Qin Qiu!"
Brother Zheng was very interested in the globe presented by Zhao Sheng, and ordered the servant to deliver the globe to the bedroom.
The birthday gift prepared by Zhao Sheng was not just a globe.
I saw that Zhao Sheng continued to explain to Brother Zheng, "Father, this is an airplane, a cannon!"
In front of Brother Zheng, there are simple models of airplanes and cannons.
These models are all made of glass.
Looking at the model made of glass, Brother Zheng felt a burst of curiosity about these novel shapes.
"What is an airplane? What is a cannon?"
"Airplanes can carry people to fly, allowing Qin people to fly in the air like birds, and cannons can spray gunpowder from this black pipe to bomb the enemy's city walls!"
"Of course, these are just models. The Daqin Academy of Sciences will sooner or later research aircraft and cannons. The sky will not be an obstacle to Daqin. You can go to the nine heavens to catch the moon, and go down to the five oceans to catch turtles!" Zhao Sheng said excitedly.
Sooner or later, Great Qin will make Qin people fly in the air like birds and beasts.
For flying, the production of aircraft is too difficult, and I am afraid it will not be possible for centuries.
Of course, in addition to airplanes, you can also fly in the air through hot air balloons and gliders.
As long as it can fly and give the ancients a hope, the craftsmen will also devote themselves to it one after another.
Zhao Sheng believes that sooner or later Daqin will create a plane that can fly in the air.
A train that can run on the ground.
Zhao Sheng's words undoubtedly shocked everyone present.
Fusu looked at Zhao Sheng, his eyes were astonished, and he muttered, "Will Daqin be able to do what the emperor said one day?"
Brother Zheng's face was filled with joy, "Okay! I want to go to heaven to see if there are any immortals in the world!"
Brother Zheng's obsession with immortals is still quite deep.
……
Research Institute!
Bang!
An explosion almost destroyed half of the research institute.
The magnitude of the movement even alarmed the people of Xianyang.
Bursts of black smoke came out.
Gongshubei ran out of it with a face full of panic. The movement just now was made by Gongshubei and a group of gunpowder craftsmen.
Gongshu Bei was disheveled, and his ears were still ringing, obviously he hadn't recovered from the explosion just now.
Mo Qing, who heard the movement, hurried over.
Many craftsmen looked for the craftsmen of the scientific research institute on the ruins of the scientific research institute.
With a sullen face, Mo Qing asked Gongshu Bei in a deep voice, "What happened, how could there be such an astonishing explosion!"
The roar of Gongshu Bei's ears did not hear clearly what Mo Qing said, but he said loudly, "Ah? What did you say?"
The craftsmen of the scientific research institute were rescued from the ruins one after another.
When the black smoke gradually dissipated, a group of disgraced craftsmen appeared in front of Mo Qing.
