Chapter 408 Declination
Can traditional medicine cure syphilis?
Chen Mu was not sure. Although Chen Gongshi, a Physician of A, was a very magical existence to him, this magicality could not make Chen Mu have the courage to subvert his cognition.
It’s not that Chen Mu distrusts and does not agree with traditional Chinese medicine in ancient China, but because he trusts and understands it too much.
Those who can benchmark against traditional Chinese medicine and need to catch up with traditional Chinese medicine are never traditional Western medicine, but a irritable younger brother who only knows bloodletting and draws crosses and little monsters on medical books.
Since the emergence of syphilis, in a very short time, doctors in Guangzhou knew that light powder and wild yam were used to treat syphilis. Light powder, that is, mercury. In the following four hundred years, mercury was the only drug in the world that truly threatened syphilis, and wild yam could effectively inhibit it.
What Chen Mu wanted to do was to take a step forward in the alive generation of Chen Shigong, Li Shizhen and Li Jun.
In fact, these doctors are already doing these things. After meeting Li Shizhen's compilation of "Compendium of Materia Medica", Li Jun began to promote the herbs of the Ming Dynasty led by the court, while Chen Shigong did it more subtlely.
When Chen Mu proposed to ask Chen Shigong to go with him to find Zhu Zai-chan, the chief of the royal university, to join him, Chen Shigong mentioned the location where he and Zhu Zai-chan met last time - they had met at the Changsheng Military Weapon Bureau.
As he said that, Chen Shigong opened the medical device box he carried with him. It was actually a slanted wooden box. The leather roll was spread out in the box, and there were various types of steel needles on it and various shapes of steel knives, axes and pliers on it. All of them were brand new and exquisite, which was the result of his visit to the Military Equipment Bureau.
"In the past, the needles were made of horse-tee iron, but they were not sharp in nature and were not easy to penetrate into the meat. Now, both the knife and needle are made of steel, so the depth of the meat is naturally not difficult. I got what I wanted at the Military Weapon Bureau." Chen Shigong introduced: "The prince wanted to ask craftsmen to make legal services, which seemed very difficult."
Lu Guan, Chen Mu frowned. He couldn't understand the word, and guessed it was related to musical instruments - he really couldn't understand Zhu Zai's world.
He and Zhu Zaiyu were not common. Although he was the head of the Changsheng royal family university, Chen Mu had not done what the head of the mountain should do when he met Zhu Zaiyu several times.
Either he frowned and played the piano and slut, or he looked very serious and tinkered with strange things, or he simply beat his special plan to copy the pen and pen... This person was completely immersed in his own world and was ready to scare others at any time, which was very difficult to do.
For example, Chen Mu and Chen Shigong joined forces to enter the back mountain of the royal university and saw Zhu Zai-kun groping on a stone case in the backyard. The stone case was carved into circles of concentric circles, each with scale. His huge abacus was still placed next to it. The traveler's slogan held the inkstone and watched him write a few words on the paper.
When they approached, they heard Prince Zheng whispering to him: "Two magnetic levels? It seems that Shen Kuo is right."
Chen Mu sighed silently, turned his head and raised his index finger to Chen Shigong and put it next to his mouth and made a 'shh' gesture.
His Royal Highness is not doing his job well all day long, but he always comes here and is busy with things and is very focused, which makes people unable to disturb him.
Fortunately, Zhu Zai-chan did not play music, and perhaps he was not too attentive to himself. He found that Chen Mu and Chen Shigong came over, put down the paper and pen, turned his head and smiled, "The Grand Marshal and Dr. Chen came from afar, but I didn't hear it. I'm sorry."
Chen Mu waved his hand, stepped forward and looked at the table that looked like he had painted a compass and asked, "What is this?"
"The correct plan, don't the Grand Marshal know?" In Zhu Zai's expression, it seemed as if Chen Mu should know this. He asked in confusion: "If you don't know this, how did the Grand Marshal find Asia by sailing? The north and south geomagnetic disorders on the route, and the sunrise and sunset magnetic needles are often south and north. Could it be that the Military Office has a secret method that they don't know, please let the Grand Marshal know."
Chen Mu didn't know what to say, so he paused and said with doubt: "Rely on...Mahjong's feet?"
Of course, this is just a joke. There are ways to get a bow. They can distinguish the direction clearly, but they are not as accurate as Zhu Zai-chan, who is engaged in academic and precise measurements.
"Asia is very big. We are not the first Ming people to come here. Before and after the Spanish arrived in Luzon, Ming people had already arrived here."
Chen Mu smiled and pointed to the table and asked, "What's the use of him?"
Speaking of what was being studied, Zhu Zaiyu became energetic and introduced to Chen Mu and Chen Shigong: "I read "Mengxi Bitan" in the middle of the country. The above mentioned that the compass often point southward. He said that there are all those who point to the north, that is, there are two geomagnetics, but for some reason, I had to say that the magnetic needle guide is like pine and cypress pointing to the west, and there is no way to know its principle."
"So, I followed Guo Shoujing's corrective plan, and each scale was measured, first using the sun's shadow to measure the south, and then the geomagnetic number. The geomagnetic plan was divided into 100 minus. In Beijing, it was measured that the geomagnetic was eastward and three minus, while in Changsheng, it was westward and three minus."
The numbers that were very clear in Zhu Zaiyou's mind were not so clear in Chen Mu's mind. He had to calculate it himself, and while calculating, he said: "There are 360 degrees of Zhoutian, 100 minutes, 100 minutes, 3.6 degrees of one moment, 3.3 points of Beijing, 100 minutes, 3 points of three, 100 minutes, 10 minutes of victory, 3 points of three, 10 minutes of victory, 10 minutes of three, 10 minutes of victory, 10 minutes of three, 10 minutes of success, 10 minutes of three, 10 minutes of success, 10 minutes of success, 10 minutes of three, 10 minutes of calculation, 10 minutes of calculation, 10 minutes of calculation, 10 minutes of calculation, 10 minutes of calculation, 10 minutes of calculation, 10 minutes of calculation, 10 minutes of calculation, 10 minutes of calculation, 10 minutes of calculation, 10 minutes of calculation,
Three or six degrees?
Zhu Zai's statement of "point" was very interesting, because normal people don't use this to say decimals, but use "abdication", "retration" and "separation" to express the point and the zero.
While Chen Mu was still thinking hard about looking for a paper and pen to calculate, the prince smiled and said, "If the east is Yang and the west is Yin, the Beijing Yang Si abdicated four eight degrees, and the always-win Yin Si abdicated five degrees."
Zhu Zaiyou blinked and said to Chen Mu: "The Grand Marshal is not here today, and I will also go to find the Grand Marshal. The Grand Marshal once said that the royal university is committed to applying its studies. In order to calculate the calendar and calculate the North Asian Agricultural Times, the royal university has recently started astronomy and has made slow progress and urgently needed the help of the military government."
Chen Mu and Chen Gongshi looked at each other and wondered, "What help can I provide?"
Help you fire a hole in the sky and make artificial rain?
"Astronomy must be sophisticated. If you want to be sophisticated, you must follow the image tool to practice astronomy, and over the years, you must be able to get the truth. The suffix is arithmetic and established as a fixed method, so that you can become a perfect system for a generation and pass on it for all generations without any harm."
As he said that, Zhu Zaiyou spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "However, the instruments of Zaiyou are born with unprecedented sight. How can you know the density of the distance and the width and narrowness of the distance?"
Chen Mu understood this and nodded, "That means you want to do a big thing, don't you have any tools?"
"It's easy to deal with. Changsheng and Jincheng have craftsmen in the world second only to the north and south. What do you want and what you need? You can draw pictures, tell craftsmen how to build them, or tell them directly what you want to use this tool, they can make them for you... No matter which kind of hardware you want to make, gold, silver, copper, iron and tin, you can do it."
"But do me a favor first, and you don't have to finish it immediately. The future prince can teach students while taking them to do it."
Zhu Zai was very happy to see Chen Mu agree to his request. It was as easy as the big stone in his heart finally landed on the ground. Not everyone can recognize the importance of astronomy, especially the 'coarse man' like Chen Mu who dances guns and cannons in the heart of His Royal Highness, which is difficult to support in his imagination, so he agreed very readily and said, "Master, please tell me, as long as you can do it."
"Xu Zhenming only knows that the sea surface on both sides of the Panama Canal is different. How much difference is, it needs to be calculated; Muhe Railway only knows that 60 kilograms of rail can definitely be used, but how many kilograms of pressure can the 60 kilograms of rails bear, how much pressure should be achieved to reduce the weight of the rails and how much balance the demand is required; there is also a mirror, I need to be able to see a mirror clearly, stack several lenses together, see extremely small things, how much light goes, how many lenses, how many lenses... I have to calculate it."
Zhu Zai-chan frowned and looked confused: "Hmm?"
