Chapter 530 The Ming Dynasty established the discipline of physics The ministers of the DPRK and China began to gradually agree with Zhu Biao's views. They gradually understood that the progress of physics was an important strategic advantage for the country. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the prince's performance and was secretly pleased. He originally intended to promote physics, but he never thought that his son would give the ministers a strong scientific support. After Zhu Biao finished explaining, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and said: "Dear ministers, we have decided that from now on, the Ming Dynasty will vigorously promote physics. We will set up special research institutions to cultivate more physics talents and promote the progress of science. At the same time, we must encourage bachelors to devote themselves to scientific practice and apply the results of scientific research to production and military affairs.” "Your Majesty is wise." All the ministers said in unison. As physics matters were implemented in the court, the Ming Dynasty began to vigorously promote physics. Research institutions sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the Ming Dynasty became the center of physics. Physics colleges began to be established in various places to cultivate talents and promote scientific development. In research institutions, many scholars are conducting experiments and research in full swing. Through observation, experiment and reasoning, they have revealed many mysteries of nature. Some study the movement laws of objects, some study the propagation of light, and some study Major breakthroughs have been made in every field of sound production and dissemination.

In the classroom of the School of Physics, the teachers guided the students to conduct experiments and observations, allowing them to personally experience the charm of physics. The students were dumbfounded when they looked at the strange phenomena that appeared in the experiments, and they all felt the magic and greatness of physics. Among them, the research institution led by Ming Dynasty scientist Li Xi finally achieved a major breakthrough. He quickly took the research report, came to the palace, knelt down in front of Emperor Hongwu and reported with joy: "Your Majesty, our research team discovered the speed of light. Light travels at a very fast speed." When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was quite pleased with Li Xi's research: "Mr. Li, your discovery is very important. It will have a huge impact on the Ming Dynasty. If we can transmit information at the speed of light, it will greatly improve the country's communications." Speed ​​promotes the development of Ming Dynasty.” The news that Zhu Yuanzhang was obsessed with physics spread throughout the world, and the whole people were talking about it. After all, physics was simply a fantasy for ordinary people. The people were both curious and confused about this, and they discussed this topic in the streets. In a teahouse called Tingyuxuan in Yingtianfu, many scholars and intellectuals gathered. "You think, is it really appropriate for a monarch and emperor to hold physics classes?" A middle-aged intellectual said with a frown. "But the subject of physics is too partial, so what's the point?" "Although physics is a bit beyond imagination for ordinary people like us, its research is a method of analyzing the laws of nature." Another scholar explained eloquently, "We only knew that water flows downwards. , the fire burns high, but physics can help us understand the principles behind natural phenomena more deeply. " The middle-aged intellectual casually picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip and said, "That makes sense. If we can understand the principles behind natural phenomena through physics, it will definitely be beneficial to the development of human society." At this moment, a young student walked in and asked the teahouse owner: "Boss, I heard that the emperor is going to hold a physics class. Is it true?" The boss smiled and said: "Yes, young man, this news has been widely spread among the people. Both ordinary people and scholars are full of interest and curiosity about this news." The young student sighed softly: "Like me It may be difficult for such an ordinary person to understand the mysteries of physics, but I also hope to have the opportunity to learn more. I am ready to pursue my dreams as long as I keep learning.” People in the teahouse were moved by his words, and they began to understand the profound meaning of Zhu Yuanzhang's physics class. As time went by, the opening ceremony of the physics class was held grandly in the lobby of the Ministry of Etiquette. Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang made an exception and attended the opening ceremony. At the ceremony, Zhu Yuanzhang solemnly announced: "The purpose of holding physics classes is to promote the development of science. While gathering the strength of the people, we also hope to let more people understand and master it." knowledge of physics.” Hearing these words, the students in the audience applauded enthusiastically. They were full of yearning for this unknown world of science. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at these students with satisfaction, and then said: "Physics is a very complex subject. It involves various aspects such as mechanics, blood, optics, etc. I hope you can study it with your heart, discover the laws, and benefit the world in the future. society." The atmosphere of the entire opening ceremony was solemn and warm, and the students were all infected by Zhu Yuanzhang's enthusiasm and pursuit of science. From that day on, Zhu Yuanzhang included physics as one of the important subjects in imperial education.

The school and students are working hard for this new subject. They actively participate in experiments and discussions, exchanging ideas and findings with each other. , under the training of physics subjects, students' observation ability and hands-on ability have been greatly improved. He Mengmeng understood what scientific experiments are, what scientific reasoning is, and then mastered the methods to solve problems. Among the people, interest in physics is also becoming more and more intense. at the same time. Treasure Island thousands of kilometers away. Tang He's ore mining team is still struggling on Treasure Island to mine these precious resources for the Ming Empire. Under his leadership, the entire team is proactive, full of energy and passion. The team's work is never smooth sailing. They need to face many difficulties and obstacles. Sometimes, they have to experience hot weather, burning eyes and sweat everywhere, making the work extremely difficult. Sometimes, they have to face Facing the violent storms and rough seas, their ship was bumping in the waves and almost engulfed by the waves, but the team did not give up. Tang He always inspired everyone with his optimistic attitude. Despite this, Tanghe and his men achieved great success. They used various tools and techniques to fully exploit the ore resources on Treasure Island. Tanghe also designed a special mining method that could be more efficient. His men used this method to mine the ores on Treasure Island skillfully and orderly, allowing the island's wealth to continuously flow to the Ming Empire. Tanghe's team was not limited to working on Treasure Island, they also explored many maritime trade routes. They established good trade relations with many Southeast Asian countries and brought the Ming Dynasty's goods to further places through navigation, promoting the development of the Ming Dynasty's pioneering undertakings.
