A technical talent is someone who obeys those who are more skilled than him. When Zhao Hao showed his true skills, Supervisor Bei naturally changed his title.
"Uh, that's right." Zhao Hao's mouth felt a little bitter.
Uncle, do you want to be so spiritual?
"It's just that the disciples are more enlightened than me. Why are you so good, just a sidekick?"
He forgot that he was the director of the National Observatory.
"So every 6585 and one-third days, the solar eclipses in the previous cycle will appear again one after another. So as long as you know that a solar eclipse has occurred on a certain day in the past, after such a cycle , almost the same solar eclipse will happen again; similarly, if you push forward a cycle, there will definitely be a solar eclipse."
"But because each cycle has a fraction of one-third of a day, this will cause the location where the solar eclipse is seen to move west by one-third of the earth. So we want to see the same solar eclipse within the territory of the Ming Dynasty. If an eclipse occurs again, you have to wait three cycles, which is nineteen thousand, seven hundred and fifty-six days."
After a pause, Zhao Hao declared boldly: "If you want to narrow the scope to the same province, you need to go through a big cycle, which is six thousand four hundred and forty-four months, or about five hundred and twenty-one years." Zero four months. If you want to be 100% sure of the same city, it will take twenty-two thousand three hundred and twenty-five months, which is one thousand eight hundred and five years Of course, the last one belongs to scientists. Obsessive-compulsive disorder can be ignored.¡±
Then he looked at Supervisor Bei who was taking notes quickly and said, "How about it? This method is simple, right? You don't have to worry about it anymore, you can't predict it anymore, right?"
Now even the ministers couldn¡¯t help but whisper among themselves.
"Does he mean that every five hundred and twenty-one years, a solar eclipse will return to the same place?"
"Is it that simple?"
"Just verify it, it's easy to verify."
This time the problem was finally reduced to the level of knowledge of the ministers, so all the dumbfounded senior officials became active.
Emperor Longqing also said with great interest: "Bei Jianzheng, please bring us all the solar eclipse records of the Northern Song Dynasty and this dynasty."
Official history books attach great importance to the records of solar eclipses. Regardless of the change of dynasties, no solar eclipse will be missed.
Fortunately, Supervisor Bei was well prepared today and brought all the information he could.
Soon, we found the solar eclipse records of the Guo Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty from the archives.
Then he and his deputy started excerpting it.
??~~
In the Wenhua Hall, the ministers craned their necks to watch Superintendent Bei and the others copying down the solar eclipse records.
Emperor Longqing couldn't hold himself back anymore, so he simply stood up and walked to the desk to check.
??Honghu also wants to calculate, is this the case?
But it seems a little hard to calculate.
Forget it, just watch it quietly for a while, then go back and sit down.
Over a cup of tea, Bei Jianzheng and the others copied the dates of the solar eclipses of the two dynasties on two large pieces of paper.
¡°Let¡¯s do some math and see if Zhao Daizhao is right.¡± Emperor Longqing, who had already sat back on the throne, ordered calmly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Supervisor Bei was wiping his sweat, pointing to a solar eclipse and recording:
¡°Let¡¯s take a look at the solar eclipse that occurred in Jichou in July 40th year of Jiajing. This time, it was not seen in Beijing but seen in Nanjing.¡±
After a pause, he took up his pen and calculated: "If you push forward five hundred and twenty-one years and four months, it will be"
After calculating for a long time, Bei Jianzheng finally gave a date and said: "It's March of the first year of Kangding in the Northern Song Dynasty."
Because solar eclipses only occur on the first day of the new year, it is enough to calculate the month.
I saw the Deputy Qintian Supervisor quickly browsed to the line about the first year of Kangding, and immediately opened his mouth as if he had seen a ghost.
Duke Cheng Guo on the side couldn't stand this grinding, so he snatched the paper from his hand and read loudly:
"On the first day of March in the first year of Kangding, there was a solar eclipse in Jiangning"
The whole place in the Wen Hua Palace was suddenly silent, and the emperor's ministers, who originally had different expressions, all opened their mouths.
Only Duke Cheng Guo still muttered with a slight regret: "It's interesting, but the place is not right."
After he finished speaking, he realized that everyone around him had their mouths wide open, as if they had been cast on a body-fixing technique.
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "My lord, Nanjing was called Jiangning during the Song Dynasty."
"Oh, really?" Cheng Guogong laughed awkwardly: "The useless knowledge has increased again."
But I heard that Mr. Xu Ge was coldSaid: "Check one more!"
"Yes, yes, check one more!" Mr. Xiao Ge couldn't hold it any longer. He walked straight to the desk, turned it over with his own hands and said, "Check this one."
"Yes!" Bei Peijia quickly found another date and said, "It's already the end of July in the eighth year of Hongwu, and a solar eclipse will be visible in Beijing."
Supervisor Bei was hurriedly writing and calculating. After a while, he wiped the sweat with his sleeve and said, "That was the eighth year of Dazhong in the Tang Dynasty."
"Go find someone from the Tang Dynasty." Xu Fan shouted coldly, and Deputy Qin Tianjian hurriedly went out to rummage through the boxes.
Taking advantage of this time, Xu Fan asked Bei Peijia to check the Shanxi solar eclipse on the first day of July in the 22nd year of Jiajing.
After calculation, the corresponding date is March of the fourth year of Tianxi in the Northern Song Dynasty
When Supervisor Bei found the records of that year, he shouted excitedly, regardless of Mr. Xiao Ge¡¯s cannibalistic expression:
"On the first day of March in the fourth year of Tianxi, there is a solar eclipse in Taiyuan!"
"Wow" At this time, all the ministers started to shout excitedly.
??The so-called independent evidence is not valid, and double evidence is true.
"It seems that there is indeed a pattern" Emperor Longqing smiled from ear to ear. Seeing Mr. Xu Ge's livid face, he quickly suppressed his laughter.
At this time, the deputy prison officer came back with the almanac in his hands and shouted loudly when he entered: "On the first day of March in the eighth year of Dazhong, there will be a solar eclipse in Youzhou!"
After saying that, he and Bei Jianzheng no longer cared about where they were, and couldn't help but shed tears at each other.
It turns out that predicting a solar eclipse is so simple, but we are so sad and bald that we didn¡¯t expect it
¡°Actually, more accurate predictions require the use of more complex data and calculations. I¡¯ll teach you this later if you¡¯re interested.¡±
Zhao Hao said warmly to the two Qintian Prison officials who were crying like children.
Well, this is the respect that science pays to the technical talents of Ming Dynasty.
"Thank you sir." The deputy supervisor quickly bowed deeply.
"Thank you very much, teacher, for ignoring the past grudges." Supervisor Bei actually kowtowed to Zhao Hao four times right in front of the emperor.
"Haha, okay, get up."
Zhao Hao was in a great mood, so he bowed towards the ashen-faced Mr. Xu Ge and said:
"During the previous hot air balloon experiment, I accidentally collided with Yuan Fu and almost trapped the old man inside. In order to express my apology to Yuan Fu, I have named this cycle the 'Huating Cycle'!"
Xu Jie rolled his eyes secretly, saying thank you, I don't care.
But the old man had the habit of thinking carefully before speaking, so he heard Emperor Longqing laugh and say:
"Okay, this is a good story."
"Uh" Now Mr. Xu Ge had to accept it even if he didn't want to.
The officials present also offered rainbow farts one after another, but they couldn't help but murmur in their hearts, why do they always feel that the old man has been fooled?
"I ask you to imitate Confucius and kill Shaozheng Mao, and cut off this animal to put things in perspective!"
In the midst of the peaceful atmosphere, a murderous roar was suddenly heard, which startled the emperor and all the ministers.
