Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 595: Pointing to heaven and earth~!

The "Geography" textbook Li Er wants to see is being "watched" by several university graduates at this moment~!

"Hey~! The earth under our feet is spherical~? How is this possible~?"

(Li Tai has long known that the earth is spherical, so he won’t be surprised to see these things)

At first, it was just that Xiao Deyan didn't restrain his curiosity, and quietly opened the book that Li Tai left behind. When he saw the first page, he couldn't help exclaiming, this inexplicable cry Exclaimed, it also attracted the attention of the two scribes next to him, but Xiao Deyan couldn't control these at the moment, he had put all his mind into the book, he wanted to find out~!

The first chapter of the "Geography" textbook compiled by Li Zexuan talks about the earth and maps. After saying that the earth is spherical, Li Zexuan gave some proofs that can be given under the conditions of this era to prove the earth It is spherical.

After Xiao Deyan read it, it was like thunderbolt, and his head was buzzing. The opinions in this book were originally intended to be refuted, but after reading this chapter, he refuted it. I can't say it, but the earth is spherical, which makes it difficult for him to fully accept it for a while~!

"My God~! The earth under our feet is so big~! Datang actually only occupies such a small area~! There are so many countries in the north, west, and south of Datang~?"

"70% of the earth's surface is ocean and 30% is land~? How is this possible~?"

"The longitude from south to north passing through the Taiji Palace is called the prime meridian or zero-degree longitude. It increases from the zero-degree longitude to the east and west to 180 degrees, from the equator (0°latitude) to The north and south poles increase to ninety degrees. The earth is divided, and each place will correspond to a longitude and latitude~! Hey~! Who wrote this book~?"

"Who proposed this latitude and longitude line~? It's so bold. He wants to use my Datang as a reference to divide the world~! This idea~! This bravery~! It's absolutely amazing~! "

At first, only two people were attracted, but when they saw the highlights in the book, the three people exclaimed for a while, and finally attracted all the scribes in the house.

Gradually, with the passage of time, everyone in the house was shocked by the grandeur of the "pointing to the sky and painting the earth" reflected in this book. No one has ever told them that the earth is round. Yes, no one has ever told them how big the earth is, how much the land and oceans occupy, and no one has divided the earth by latitude and longitude lines. They just read the first chapter of this book, but these scholars think that 'S worldview has been completely subverted, and they are still in a state of confusion.

"Xiao Xueshi, your majesty sent someone to come and said that he wanted to help His Royal Highness to take away the "Geography" he had read before~!"

Just when everyone was shocked and didn't say a word, a small servant walked in outside the door and bowed to Xiao Deyan.

Seeing that outsiders came in, dozens of scholars around the table scatter in a hurry, with a guilty conscience.

In the final analysis, this book is Li Tai's private book, and it is illegal for them to read it without permission.

Xiao Deyan's face blushed, he stood up and looked at the young man and asked: ""Geography" textbook~? What geography textbook~? Your Highness can make it clear~?"

Although the young man felt the atmosphere in the room was weird, he did not dare to raise any questions. He directly replied: "His Royal Highness said it was the book he had read before~!"

Xiao Deyan suddenly realized that, he picked up the book on the table and took a look, some reluctantly handed it over, saying: "That's it, you take it to the person sent by your majesty~!"

"No~!"

The young man took it solemnly, and then backed out.

Everyone in the room glanced at each other, Xiao Deyan sighed: "It turns out that this book is called Geography~! It's really a wonderful book~!"

Another scribe also sighed: "Yes~! Let’s not say whether what is said here is correct or not, the person who can put forward these points is definitely a stunning genius~! With this courage and courage, it is hard for the old man to hold back~!"

Xiao Deyan nodded in agreement and said: "Xie brother's statement is reasonable~! I don't know who wrote this book~! Why did it appear in the literary museum out of thin air~?"

This Xie brother is Xie Yan, who is also a bachelor in the Li Tai Literature Museum, and one of the future compilations of "Kuo Di Zhi".

Xie Yan replied after hearing the words, "It seems that someone sent this book to His Royal Highness Wei in the morning. After receiving the book, His Royal Highness has been reading through it, and he didn't even eat lunch~!" /

Xiao Deyan frowned and said: "His Royal Highness said this book is the "Geography" textbook, textbook textbook, where does the school use this textbook~? I really have never heard of this~!"

Xie Yan thought for a while, and suddenly shouted in shock: "Yanhuang Academy~! Only a strange existence like Yanhuang Academy can use such weird teaching materials~! And your Highness let me wait for the collection these days The history of the mountains and rivers~IndoMTL.com~ may have something to do with this "Geography" textbook~!"

When Xiao De said, he agreed: "Brother Xie's analysis is good. So, the person who wrote this book can only be..."

………………………

"It refers to the world and divides the world~! This kid is so bold~! Not bad, not bad~!"

In the Temple of Ganlu, Li Er received the book "Geography" retrieved by the people below from the Palace of the Wei Dynasty. After reading it for a while, he touched his palm and laughed.

The reason why it is right is mainly because Li Zexuan defined the zero-degree meridian as the meridian passing through the Taiji Palace. This makes Li Er, who pays attention to the holy name, feel very proud and satisfied.

As for the theory that the earth is spherical, Li Tai introduced it to him before, and now that it says it in the book, I am not surprised.

"Is this the map of the world~? Why my Datang only occupies such a large area~? And why are there so many missing places in my Datang's territory~?"

Turning over the textbook at random, a big map instantly attracted Li Er's attention. After a long while, Li Er raised his head and frowned.

Li Tai gave a dry cough and explained: "Father, although Datang has a vast area, it is really only that big on the earth. As for why there is a lack, this is because Mr. Li is very concerned about the mountains and rivers of my Datang. The county didn’t understand it very well, so it handed over the task of perfecting the book to the son~! After receiving the book today, the son is planning to start perfecting~!"

Li Er nodded, he stared at the map for a long time, then raised his head, an indescribable look flashed in his eyes, and said to Li Tai: "Okay~! Then the blue bird, you go back~! This You must pay attention to the perfection of this book~!"
