Chapter 38: Conquer with physics and win for sure!
"Sir, are you trying to make fun of me?"
Ningshuang asked back. Although she modestly said that she lacked knowledge, she was also considered a pair of talents together with the Tian family's talented woman. It was obvious that she was unwilling to accept that her IQ was underestimated.
Ying Heng smiled slightly: "Miss, have you ever heard of the story of Archimedes?"
Archimedes?
Ningshuang looked confused and shook her head slightly.
"That's good. If I don't make you dumbfounded, I won't win."
He then asked, "Do you know why objects fall from great heights to the ground?"
"Because of its gravity?"
Ningshuang answered tentatively.
"No, this is the effect of the earth's gravity, we call it gravity..." Ying Heng continued to guide.
Mo Ningshuang frowned, full of doubts: Interaction? Formula calculation?
"What you said is very profound. Can you explain it with a simpler example?"
Ying Heng laughed secretly in her heart. She was already showing a look of confusion. She had not yet seen the true depth of the physical world. Archimedes was enough to confuse her.
If we mention giants in physics such as Einstein and Hawking, wouldn't it make her feel extraordinary?
Seeing this, Ying Heng decided to give Ning Shuang some examples that she could understand to consolidate her conviction.
"Since the young lady has a deep understanding of the mechanical arts of the Mohist school, she must have some knowledge of the farming tool plow, right?"
"Of course I know that the plow is an important invention of Mohism."
"That's great. I don't need to go into too much detail about the complicated principles."
Ying Heng told the story.
"The straight-beam long plow commonly used in the world today is rather clumsy to operate and inefficient, and is not really the best choice."
Ningshuang was about to retort, but Yingheng gently raised his hand to signal her to calm down.
He then asked, "Miss, have you ever thought about improving the straight-beam plow into a curved-beam plow and adding a plow disc assembly that can flexibly turn?"
As he spoke, Ying Heng picked up a branch and roughly sketched out the concept on the sand.
Ningshuang came over upon hearing the sound, and squatted down, examining the sketch on the ground with Yingheng.
At a glance, her heart was suddenly shocked.
With a deep understanding of mechanical engineering, she immediately saw the key to Ying Heng's few strokes.
"Exquisite!" Ningshuang looked at the pattern and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
At this moment, she did not realize that the distance between her and Ying Heng was only two fists. When she opened her mouth, the soft breath gently brushed across Ying Heng's cheek.
"What a refreshing fragrance." Ying Heng responded.
???
Ningshuang was full of confusion. What was going on?
"Miss, have you tasted candied fruit today? There is a hint of sweetness in your words."
With a flick of the brush, Ningshuang's face was instantly flushed.
Just as she was about to move back, away from this seemingly frivolous man, she forgot that she was wearing a long skirt. She bent her knees on the ground, and the slightest movement caused the hem of her skirt to catch on her ankles.
"oops!"
With a scream, she almost fell backwards in panic.
At the critical moment, a strong arm wrapped around her waist and back, supporting her steadily.
Then, an irresistible force straightened her up and allowed her to squat steadily on the ground again.
After a moment, the hand quickly withdrew, appearing extremely polite.
This series of smooth and timely movements left Ningshuang dumbfounded and her heart beating like a drum.
As she looked at him in surprise, Ying Heng beside her showed a charming smile. "Be more careful next time."
Thump, thump, thump, her heartbeat almost burst through her chest.
Cautiously moving back a few inches, Ningshuang listened again to Yingheng's description of the advantages of the curved plow.
I could hardly concentrate, and all I could think about was what just happened.
What ultimately stuck was that this improvement allowed people and livestock to change direction easily, greatly improving farming efficiency.
"Do you understand, young lady? This is the power of the improved Mohist mechanical technique. It can greatly benefit farmers all over the world."
Mo Ningshuang nodded blankly, with a hollow look in her eyes.
At this time, Ying Heng continued to explain: "Inventions and creations of great significance such as the curved plow can have countless possibilities. We call such innovations that benefit all people scientific and technological inventions."
"If we can further expand in this field, then wouldn't the first goal you set be easily achieved?"
Upon hearing that the first goal was likely to be achieved, Mo Ningshuang finally came to her senses, but still expressed doubts.
"Sir, it's easy for you to say it, but how easy is it to truly delve into the secret art of the Mohist school?"
"For example, the curved plow technology that you mentioned is something that ordinary people cannot comprehend. Even in our Mohist school, it would be difficult to design it without three to five years of hard work."
"As for other more advanced technologies, it is even more difficult to foresee their arrival."
She sighed again, her eyes filled with helplessness and sadness. "Sir, have you successfully developed this curved plow?"
She opened her eyes wide in surprise and stared at Ying Heng in disbelief.
“It’s actually been made?”
At this moment, in her eyes, Ying Heng's figure seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious aura of charm.
Ying Heng smiled and replied affirmatively: "It has indeed been completed and is being mass-produced. If you don't mind, I can take you to see the real thing."
"On the way, I will explain to you in detail how to achieve the last two goals relatively easily."
Just like that, Mo Ningshuang followed Ying Heng out of the Mo family's gate with a confused but expectant mood.
The two maids followed silently behind him from beginning to end without saying a word.
At this point, the two exchanged glances:
"You have really mastered the art of flirting!"
"That's right. Look, he can win the hearts of those courtesans without even spending any money."
"Which woman can resist such a method?"
"If you can govern the country with this much care, the Qin Dynasty would have dominated the world long ago."
What Mo Ningshuang didn't know was that shortly after she and Ying Heng left, a secret report quickly arrived.
The newly-appointed Great Qin tyrant, the Thirteenth Prince, began to implement new policies on his first day in the court, abolishing all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone!
This move is tantamount to declaring that it will be more difficult for the Hundred Schools of Thought to survive in the world!
……
Deep inside the Xianyang Palace, in a secret chamber.
The leader of the Black Ice Platform is sticking to his post. Ying Heng is attending court this morning, and his subordinates are keeping a close eye on what is happening in the court, so there is no need for him to take action in person.
On the side, the First Emperor was practicing with his eyes closed.
These days, every time he kicked a table into pieces, the internal energy in his body would flow more smoothly.
Now, he has gradually reached the peak of the late innate stage.
At this rate of progress, he would most likely break through to the Grandmaster level within half a year!
At this moment, whoosh!
A dark figure dressed in black suddenly appeared in the secret room.
His face looked a little pale, and he was obviously a little nervous, even before he spoke.
