Zhangsun Chong had yet to recover from his shock even when he was pulled to the riverside by Da Niu. His mind was filled with thoughts of the academy that was like a palace in the sky.
Qin Qi glanced at the two of them and nodded at Da Niu."Daniu, get ready to begin!"
"Yes, sir!"
Da Niu took a deep breath and bowed respectfully to Qin Qi. Then, he took a big step and jumped onto the dam. His tender face was filled with a serious expression. It was hard to believe that this was a young scholar who was not even ten years old.
"Students, the experiment of the hydraulic power generation will begin now!”
The other children immediately laughed and said,"Yes, Chief Designer!"
Da Niu's tanned face was slightly red. The title 'Chief Designer' was something that Qin Qi had decided on before. It was said to commemorate a great man. Although Da Niu did not know who the great man Qin Qi was talking about was, he felt that the burden on his shoulders had increased a lot when he saw this title.
Shaking his head, Big Bull commanded in a childish voice,""Move the stones here a little. Let's put the water turbine that we made earlier in first."
Under Da Niu's command, the slightly older children immediately moved. They quickly took off their clothes and jumped into the river in unison.
Although the river water was a little cold, it did not diminish the enthusiasm of the children at all. They were like agile fish swimming in the water. The other children tried their best to move the stones away, and two children smashed two big hatchets into a wooden stake to fix it.
Not only were the children in the river busy, but Da Niu on the dam did not stop at all. He was busy giving orders.
"Aiya, Buttface, when the water flows down, it can push the rotating night and the turbine to rotate. We have to make them rotate!”
.......
Qin Qi, who was standing on the shore, nodded in satisfaction as he watched the child build the generator in an orderly manner.
He wanted the children to build a hydraulic generator not only to generate electricity, but also to let the children do it themselves. He wanted them to know that learning was not easy, so that they could train their willpower.
Looking at Zhangsun Chong, who was standing at the side, Qin Qi clapped his hands gently. The younger children who were watching Da Niu and the others build the generator suddenly turned their heads and looked at Qin Qi in unison.
Qin Qi looked at the young faces around him and smiled gently." Students, yesterday I explained the basics of physics. Today, I will explain the most important branch of physics-electricity."
Hearing this, the children were shocked and stared at Qin Qi with all their attention. Zhangsun Chong even secretly pricked up his ears and listened quietly to Qin Qi's explanation.
Now, he had long regarded Qin Qi as a god-like figure. In Zhangsun Chong's eyes, the things he said were more effective than the emperor's imperial edict.
"Before learning electricity, we must first know what electricity is!”
Qin Qi looked at the wrinkled faces in front of him and smiled gently."In the legends, the thunder god and the lightning mother beat drums and gongs in front of them, and the sky turned back to thunder and lightning.”
"The most common type of electricity is the lightning in nature. Nowadays, people think that lightning is the anger of the heavens, but today, I want to tell everyone that this is wrong!”
"In this world, there are no immortals or gods. The Son of Heaven is not a child of heaven. He is just an ordinary person who holds power in the secular world.”
"Lightning isn't God's anger, it's just a natural phenomenon. This isn't divine, this is science!”
Qin Qi paused and looked at the shocked faces in front of him. He sighed in his heart. He was a modern man who did not believe in God, only science!
If he wanted to instill modern knowledge such as physics and chemistry into these children, he first had to fundamentally change their minds. A person who firmly believed in theology could not make much achievements in the field of science. If these children wanted to learn scientific knowledge, they had to change their old-fashioned thinking.
