When encountering things that you don’t understand, everyone often chooses not to believe them.

It’s like the poor people in the Yangtze River Delta in the early 20th century who relied on eating hairy crabs to satisfy their hunger.

If you tell him that only rich people can eat big crabs in this way after a hundred years, they will definitely "pah" when you are farting.

The stands next to the football field of Shishan Academy are also interesting now.

Two hollow hemispheres are put together, but neither horse can pull it apart?

If this is not really done without tampering with it, then this matter would be really incredible.

"Kong Jiji, in my opinion, it is time for the Imperial College to consider setting up a Academy of Interesting Things. Once the experiments of His Highness King Chu are recognized by His Majesty, the development of Interesting Things will inevitably usher in a peak. Although the court's spring examination did not assess these contents, as long as the influence of Interesting Things becomes greater and greater, it will inevitably attract many people to learn. If our Imperial College always excludes it, it may be behind at any time."

Sima Caizhang looked at Li Kuan, who was directing the second experiment in the football field with a complicated expression.

"Even if he proved that this air is stressful, what's the use? The Imperial College can increase investment in medicine, mathematics and law, but I'll talk about the matter of studying physics again and again."

As a traditional Confucian successor, Kong Yingda was so easy to accept the study of matters?

However, Sima Caizhang mentioned this and he also knew that the possibility of Kong Yingda agreeing to him was almost zero.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Soon, the second round of experiments began in the football field.

However, this round of experiments ended just now.

One of the horses even ran too hard and suddenly got pulled by the cable and fell to the ground.

This made people in the stands feel how much pulling the copper ball is under.

"Brother, do we want to make a bet how many horses do this bronze ball need to pull it apart?"

Li Tai's psychological quality is better than Li Chengqian.

No matter how much Li Kuan is in the limelight today, his influence on him is very limited.

On the contrary, this will only further highlight the obscurity of the crown prince of the dynasty.

"snort!"

Li Chengqian ignored Li Tai and continued to stare at the football field intently.

In fact, he was also very curious.

Could this illusory air really put such huge pressure on people?

Otherwise, why would the copper ball not move at all?

"Xuanling, do you think if Kuan'er really proves that there is pressure in the air, what is the significance of this to the Tang Dynasty?"

By this time, Li Shimin had basically believed what Li Kuan said.

Continuing the experiment is nothing more than satisfying everyone's curiosity and seeing how many horses are needed to complete this task.

"This experiment alone cannot bring anything to the Tang Dynasty. However, the theories generated by this experiment may be used to make some special equipment or promote the development of Investigation.

Although I don’t know how to use this theory, I believe that His Highness, King of Chu and the students of Guanshishan Academy of Geography and the students of the Institute of Geography of the Shishi Academy must have a way to use it. Maybe we will see some new instruments coming out without waiting for a long time.”

Fang Xuanling was obviously more confident in Li Kuan, and his words were considered to be very pertinent.

“Yu!”

Just as Fang Xuanling and Li Shimin were talking, the neighing of horses sounded again in the football field.

There were already three horses on both sides, but the bronze ball was still as stable as Mount Tai.

At this time, everyone in the stands began to change their mindsets.

Everyone began to wonder how many horses could pull the bronze ball.

Li Kuan didn't waste time either. Six horses were not enough, so he immediately added eight horses.

Eight horses are not enough, and ten horses are only allowed without saying a word.

Then twelve and fourteen.

But the bronze ball was still not pulled away.

If it weren't for the props being prepared in advance, so many horses wouldn't be able to contribute at the same time.

"Your Majesty, this time there are sixteen horses. If the bronze ball cannot be pulled open, then the so-called air pressure will be too scary."

Although it is facing the scorching sun, the temperature in February is not very high.

But Fang Xuanling couldn't help but sweat.

Many people also held their breath and stared at the football field without turning their eyes.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

A row of auxiliary personnel waved their whips at the same time and drove the horses forward with all their might.

I don’t know if these horses were angry. Sixteen horses walked against each other and even threw out a different aura.

"Bang!"

When the cable was straightened, a loud bang rang out in the football field.

Under the gaze of everyone, and under the pull of sixteen horses, the bronze ball finally split into two halves.

The moment they parted, the loud noise scared everyone.

Even Li Kuan, who was beside him, jumped up hard.

However, soon, he came back to God.

"Li Zhong, go and see if this bronze ball is really just a combination of two hemispheres."

In the stands, in order to avoid making an affair, Li Shimin asked Li Zhong to go over and check if the bronze ball had done any tricks.

Although based on his understanding of Li Kuan, Li Kuan should not make such a low-level mistake.

But it is more appropriate to confirm it. Maybe there are still many people in the stands who have such thoughts in their minds.

After hearing the order, Li Zhong quickly walked to the bronze ball without saying a word.

I saw him stretch out his hands, bent down, and then lifted up the two bronze hemispheres, and looked at them carefully.

The cross-sections of these two copper hemispheres are extremely smooth, and they are obviously specially polished before.

Li Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.

In this case, it is obvious that these two hemispheres did not have any direct connection before.

In fact, there is a black gasket between the two copper hemispheres, which can be preliminarily prove that the two hemispheres are not connected.

However, it is even more appropriate to open it and take a look after it again.

"Everyone, this bronze ball will be displayed in front of the Gewu Building. As an iconic item for our Guanshishan Academy, anyone is welcome to visit at any time."

When Li Kuan saw Li Zhong's performance, he naturally understood what he was doing.

Just take out the bronze ball and display it to completely dispel everyone's questions.

"Your Majesty, the surfaces of the two copper hemispheres are extremely smooth, and there is no trace of being connected in advance. Although the subordinates still cannot understand why the two copper hemispheres are combined and after removing the air inside, they need such a huge pulling force to pull it apart, but His Highness's experiment should be consistent with everything he said."

After Li Zhong returned to Li Shimin, he loudly told his confirmation results.

Li Chengqian, Li Tai, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others on the side naturally heard it clearly.

However, everyone's reactions were different.

"Today's first Tang Dynasty academic exchange meeting is indeed extraordinary. I have not come in vain. Such interesting activities can be held continuously in the future."

Li Shimin's words were considered to be an official endorsement of today's event and were officially recognized.

This made Kong Yingda very envious and jealous.

However, in recent years, Imperial College has not made any contributions to the compilation of basic books.

This made Kong Yingda feel anxious.

If this continues, will the status of Confucianism be deteriorating?

The first Tang Dynasty Academic Exchange Conference ended successfully.

After Li Shimin left, the big men in the court also left Guanshishan Academy one after another.

However, the students in the academy gathered together with passion and discussed today's three themes.

"Master, what is this air like? It is invisible and intangible, but it exists around us. Sometimes, we can smell the odor in the air, sometimes we feel the air is very moist, sometimes we feel it is very dry, but it looks exactly the same with the naked eye."

Di Renjie stood beside Li Kuan and asked a question he hadn't figured out for a long time today.

"Prince, I see that there are more and more students and they are unwilling to disperse. Why don't you just give everyone a lecture and talk about the air issues that everyone cares about?"

Xu Jingzong was busy behind the scenes for a day today, and at this time he stood beside Li Kuan.
