Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

What is science? Many people actually don't know how to answer this question, and even mistakenly equate "knowledge" with "science". this is not right.

The essence of knowledge is experience, and it is experience that conforms to objective laws. Science, on the other hand, is the process of testing whether experience conforms to objective laws. It is essentially a philosophy and a way of thinking.

Of course Li Xin is capable of sitting here for an entire afternoon. Although he is not a biology major, he has been to high school anyway, and he is familiar with the basic knowledge of biology. Otherwise, it would be impossible to bluff Meng Jiao with the set of genetics knowledge that does not exceed the compulsory two. It would be too easy to answer the questions of Sun Simiao and Xu Jingchen.

However, this makes no sense.

How about telling Sun Simiao and Xu Jingchen the answers directly? They will only generate more questions. These questions will be far more difficult to answer than their initial questions, and it will be difficult for Li Xin, who is not a biology major, to deal with it.

After all, Li Xin has high expectations for the Ministry of Science. He hopes that this is a seed that can breed enough elite figures with scientific literacy in Datang, instead of a bunch of people who can only memorize knowledge. In that case, the Ministry of Science would be meaningless.

Sun Simiao didn't know that Li Xin's thoughts were so complicated. He simply regretted and said: "It's a pity. It would be great if the old man had a chance to take a look at that ancient book."

Li Xin said with a smile: "I am afraid that the author of that ancient book has not seen these tiny structures with his own eyes. Most of them are just his own conjectures and reasoning. They may not be all right, and they cannot be completely believed. The real conclusion still depends on Mr. Sun." The sages have personally explored it, and it will be handed down to future generations for future generations to learn."

Sun Simiao said with emotion: "This old man has practiced medicine for decades, and only now do I know that there is such a wonderful and magnificent world in the world. I'm afraid it may not be possible in the future."

"I'm afraid that knowledge is endless, and every inch of progress is joyful." Li Xin said with a smile, "As long as the Ministry of Science and the School of Medicine are still there, there will naturally be generations of people who continue to work hard, and there will be endless shortage of children and grandchildren."

Only then did Sun Simiao recover from his pessimism.

Xu Jingchen, who had been quiet for a long time, also smiled and said: "What's more, Master is still in such good health, and it will not be a problem to live another twenty years, so there is no need to say anything depressing."

"Yes, yes. It's the old man who is acting like a fool." Sun Simiao laughed loudly, sweeping away the depression just now.

Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I have already done what I promised Mr. Sun. Then I will leave the rest to you."

Sun Simiao nodded solemnly.

Time flies, and it is the end of autumn in a blink of an eye. Finally, Li Xin waited for the good news from Situ Liang and Lu Daren—the wool spinning machine finally succeeded!

"Damn it, it's finally done." Li Xin swears excitedly first, then suppresses the joy in his heart, changes his clothes and walks outside, ordering his servants to prepare the car immediately as he walks.

The chariots and horses went straight to the Science Department. Situ Liang and Lu Daren knew that Li Xin would not be idle after hearing the news, and would come over immediately to see for themselves, so they waited together at the door.

"Where are the things?" Li Xin asked as soon as he got out of the car.

Lu Daren and Situ Liang led Li Xin into the door in a hurry, and rushed to the laboratory of the Academy of Engineering.
