Zhangsun Chong's mind was in a mess. The education he received from a young age made him believe that the Son of Heaven was the most noble existence in the world. He had the most noble bloodline, and the Son of Heaven was born different from ordinary people.
But now, Qin Qi was telling them that there were no immortals in this world and that the Son of Heaven was just an ordinary person. These two thoughts clashed fiercely in his mind.
He instinctively wanted to refute Qin Qi, but everything he had experienced today told him that Qin Qi was right. Zhangsun Chong was almost driven crazy by the two opposing thoughts.
Qin Qi looked at Zhangsun Chong, whose expression kept changing, and sighed in his heart. He thought to himself, This child is still too old. It seems that I have to take it slow if I want to change his mindset.
It had to be said that Dong Zhongshu was indeed powerful. The three cardinal guides and five constant virtues he stipulated confined the thoughts of the ancient people in Nine Regions to Confucianism. This deep-rooted hierarchy and the idea of divine right of the monarch had been engraved into the bones of the people of the Celestial Dynasty.
It was impossible for Qin Qi to change this mindset on a large scale. Therefore, he could only start with the child and slowly change this phenomenon by using the method of boiling frogs in warm water.
Shaking his head, Qin Qi continued,"In the previous classes, we learned that everything is made of atoms, and atoms can be divided into negatively charged electrons and positively charged neutrons.”
"Under normal conditions, the number of neutrons and electrons in an atom is the same, and the positive and negative electrons are preserved. However, under the effect of external force, after the electrons outside the atom are separated from the gravity of the nucleus, the positive and negative electrons in the atom will be unbalanced, and the atom will show electricity.”
Other than Da Niu and the others who were busy in the river, all the children present had blank expressions on their faces. They were still young and were not deeply influenced by feudal thoughts. They could still accept Qin Qi's theory.
However, Qin Qi's theory was still too profound for them. They could only try their best to memorize it and could not understand what Qin Qi meant.
Zhangsun Chong, who had no foundation at all, was even more stunned into a classic emoticon. The usually intelligent Duke of a small country sadly realized that he did not understand what Qin Qi was talking about at all.
The ashamed Zhangsun Chong wanted to smash his head on the riverbank to avoid embarrassing the great Zhangsun Clan.
Qin Qi looked at the dumbfounded children and had already expected this. He coughed and took out the glass rod, a roll of silk, and a torn piece of white paper that he had prepared earlier.
Including Zhangsun Chong, the children were indeed attracted by Qin Qi's actions. They wanted to see what the resourceful Teacher Qin was up to.
Qin Qi calmly rubbed the glass rod on the silk and said with a smile,"Students, before the friction between the glass rod and the silk, the electrons in the atoms of the silk would be taken away by the glass rod. After the glass rod obtains an electron with a negative point, it would be negatively charged.”
Qin Qi handed the glass rod in his hand to the children and smiled gently."Now this glass rod is charged.”
The children dodged and stared at the glass rod in Qin Qi's hand carefully, as if they were afraid of being hit by this charged rod.
Zhangsun Chong's pupils constricted as he looked at the glass rod in horror. It was not that he had never seen lightning on a rainy day. That scene made his legs tremble. Other than looking beautiful, there was nothing special about this rod. Could this rod be charged? What a joke!
Qin Qi was not annoyed. He knew that modern thinking would not be easily accepted, so he was confident when facing this group of children.
He opened his left hand and revealed pieces of paper."Children, the electricity on the glass rod is very weak. The human eye can't see it at all, but it can be detected through these pieces of paper.”
As he spoke, he slowly brought the glass rod closer to the piece of paper. Sure enough, after reaching a certain distance, the piece of paper was lifted up by an invisible force and suspended in midair.
Seeing this, the children immediately exploded.
"It's floating, it's floating!"
"It's too magical. It really floated up!”
"Is Teacher Qin a god? How can he make a piece of paper float?”
"Stupid, Teacher Qin said that this is science.”
? Qin smiled gently." This current is too small. I can't see what it is yet. But in the future, when we can create stronger currents, we can create more things. For example, lamps, or even electric machines.”
Zhangsun Chong's eyes suddenly widened, and his body trembled uncontrollably. A grunting sound came from his throat.
The snow salt did not collapse, and he did not collapse when he saw the roller block. However, when he saw the paper floating, it was like the last straw that bent the camel. The feudal values that he had persisted in for more than ten years finally collapsed.
Science!
Science!
This was science!
Zhangsun Chong let out a long howl as he squatted on the ground with his hands on his head. His eyes became clearer and clearer.
He knew very well that science had opened a door for him. As long as he stepped in, he would be able to enter a new world.
Whether he wanted to step forward or not was up to him.
