Chapter 207
"Your Majesty! We succeeded! It can be preliminarily determined that gravity is about 9.8m/s²; it is this force that has been pulling objects down!"
"As long as the upward force exceeds this force, theoretically, we can even continue to fly in the air!"
After calculating the magnitude of gravity.
Yan looked at the dense measurement manuscripts in the Research Institute that were constantly being overturned.
He was equally excited.
Taking a deep breath.
He said: "I intend to create a scientific journal, selecting the latest research theories from the Great Yan Research Institute and excellent inventions from the Great Yan Kingdom every month, to be published so that everyone in the world will know!"
Subsequently.
He looked around at everyone and reminded them: "Gravity is just the tip of the iceberg of the three volumes of Heavenly Books; you must not be proud or complacent, but must continue to work hard and study the Heavenly Books!"
The people of the Research Institute looked solemn.
Bowing and saluting him: "We will follow Your Majesty's teachings!"
Everyone's expression was full of fanaticism and worship.
They understood very well.
Without Yan, there would be no new look of the Great Yan Kingdom changing with each passing day.
The territory of the Great Yan Kingdom...
Could not have been explored to the wilderness and the ocean.
Now they have even conquered a world and obtained three giant mines.
Capturing 400,000 laborers!
In terms of prestige.
The Yan of today, in the Great Yan Kingdom, is only second to the god.
The 34th year of the Great Yan Calendar.
The Great Yan Research Institute continued to study the three volumes of Heavenly Books, learning mathematics, physics, and chemistry from them.
Creating many novel inventions and creations.
At the same time.
In the 'Great Yan Science' journal, many heavyweight research results were published and announced to the world.
Among them.
The most famous was the systematic introduction of bacteria in river water.
According to the records in the Heavenly Books, this kind of organism is tiny in size and is collectively called bacteria.
Some bacteria are harmless to the human body.
Some bacteria, however, spread diseases!
And with the deepening of research into one of the three volumes of Heavenly Books, 'Physics'.
A high-magnification microscope was developed.
Through the microscope.
The people of the Great Yan Research Institute discovered dozens of types of bacteria for the first time.
And classified these bacteria and gave them names.
At the same time, they made various petri dishes to cultivate and observe the bacteria.
The habits and hazards of these dozens of types of bacteria...
Were all clearly summarized and explained.
They even believed that human illness is very likely caused by these bacteria.
This series of theories was published in the 'Great Yan Science' journal.
Shocking the entire Great Yan Kingdom!
The 35th year of the Great Yan Calendar.
The Great Yan Research Institute formulated another series of experiments, attempting to solve the second of the three questions from the gods.
The speed of sound and the speed of light!
Before this.
They only knew that the speed of light is faster than the speed of sound.
But how much faster exactly...
No one knew.
After hundreds of failed experiments and adjustments.
The Great Yan Research Institute finally found the best method to measure the speed of sound.
Having a person stand at the very top of the North Tower.
Looking at a cannon firing ten kilometers away.
When hearing the roar of the cannon, record that time point.
Testing this hundreds of times in a cycle.
Obtaining hundreds of different time data points.
Then...
From these times, divide by the distance between the two places, and take the average value.
Concluding that the speed of sound is about 343m/s.
The appearance of this result.
Made Yan overjoyed.
Directly ordering people to publish it in the 'Great Yan Science' journal and announce it to the world.
Subsequently.
The ambitious Yan.
Directly formulated the next topic for the Great Yan Research Institute: measuring the speed of light!
"Within one year, the speed of light must be measured!"
Immediately after.
The Great Yan Research Institute invested in the research and measurement of the speed of light.
And Qin Mu was standing outside the Blue Star.
Watching this scene.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times.
After conquering the Wu Xia civilization.
In these three years.
The Great Yan Research Institute had indeed achieved amazing research results.
Whether it was bacteria, or the measurement of gravity, or the measurement of the speed of sound, there had been significant progress.
The technological civilization was also developing slowly.
But...
The speed of light is simply too terrifying.
General methods could not measure it at all.
Even though the technological universe he evolved now had a diameter of 3 million kilometers.
But for light...
It was only a distance of a few seconds.
"Within one year, wanting to measure the speed of light is almost impossible..."
Qin Mu shook his head helplessly.
The 36th year of the Great Yan Calendar.
A year had passed.
The Great Yan Research Institute tried thousands of methods to measure the speed of light.
As a result...
