Chapter 5 Can You Get Longevity? The audience in front of the TV at this time.
He was frightened by Ye Zhen's words.
"Didn't I watch "Into Popular Science"?"
"Why does it seem to have become "Into the Cultivation of Immortality"?"
"But this host's theory is quite interesting."
"Fang Xiandao? This is my first time hearing it."
But I have to say that Ye Zhen’s popular science is indeed very interesting.
Even viewers who temporarily switched to this channel.
I couldn't help but stop and look at it for a while, and then I was attracted by Ye Zhen.
The scene management and some lighting engineers were confused.
"This doesn't seem to be written like this!"
"It should be fine."
"But this show has always been a unpopular show, not many people watch it."
None of the staff on site said much.
Because usually this matter is supervised by Producer Chen.
Producer Chen didn't say much now.
They only have cameras and lights, so naturally they don’t want to talk too much.
The way Ye Zhen was talking eloquently on the stage at this time did not look like hosting for the first time at all.
Instead, it feels like a familiar road.
Ye Zhen continued to smile and said: "The time and author of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is already unknown."
"But we know that the Classic of Mountains and Seas existed long before Qin Shihuang."
In other words, they were all written by people before the Pre-Qin period at the latest.
"These alchemists discovered the secret of immortality and immortality in the Book of Mountains and Seas."
"They firmly believe that there were immortals before this."
"And the Immortal has the elixir of immortality."
"When it comes to the elixir of immortality, what do you think of first?"
Ye Zhen was like a real teacher at this time.
Start guiding the audience.
Really good science popularization is not just about instilling some knowledge in you.
But let you have your own thinking.
"Immortal Elixir?"
Some viewers were already frowning.
A primary school student in front of the TV suddenly shouted.
The parents around him were also shocked.
"Mom, I remembered."
"It's Chang'e! Chang'e secretly ate the elixir of death and flew into the sky." The primary school student clearly remembered this Chinese myth and legend.
Many people also remember that the most famous elixir of death is the story of Chang'e flying to the moon. If we look at it now, Chang'e would be a real little fairy.
Ye Zhen seemed to hear what the audience was saying.
"Yes, it's exactly what you thought."
"The story of Chang'e flying to the moon mentions the elixir of death."
"The alchemists of Fang Xiandao back then also saw similar records."
"They think the elixir is real."
"Perhaps in the pre-Qin era, there was a civilization that was more advanced and developed than they are now."
"This ancient civilization had a pill that could make them live forever."
This is the reason why Fang Xiandao sect was founded.
But just like modern scientists and some researchers.
Any research requires manpower, material and financial resources.
It can be said that both are indispensable.
Need to find the biggest sponsor.
Who was the biggest financial backer at that time?
Of course he unified the world and was the first emperor in Chinese history.
Our first emperor, Qin Shihuang.
Qin Shihuang believed the words of these alchemists back that the elixir exists.
So Qin Shihuang waved his hand.
With the national strength of the Qin State at that time, people were given money and people were given.
Didn't Xu Fu build a huge ship and go to sea to find immortals?
Three thousand boys and girls.
If placed in modern times, this alchemist would be the world's top academic master.
Just imagine if a scientist came out and said it.
"I can research an elixir that can make humans live forever."
There is no need for him to solicit sponsorship himself.
Countless oligarchs and countries will take the initiative to give him money.
But the question is, how do you make others believe you? How did those Fangxian Taoist alchemists back then convince the First Emperor to believe their words? Ye Zhen continued: "The "Book of Mountains and Seas" we see now is a incomplete version."
"In the long course of history, many books in our history have not been preserved."
"But those alchemists back then must have seen more complete records than we have now."
"That's why they firmly believe in the existence of elixirs and immortals."
"Those alchemists back then wanted to believe in the wise and powerful Qin Shihuang."
"Evidence must be produced, otherwise how could we possibly convince the First Emperor?"
"They brought out the records."
"In the past, I would steal it and fly to the moon without dying, and seize it as the moon essence.
This is from "Gui Zang", one of the three most wonderful books in my country.
There are also records from Liezi in the pre-Qin period.
To the east of the Bohai Sea, I don't know how many millions of miles, there is a big ravine, which is actually a bottomless valley, and there is no bottom below it, which is called Guixu.
Among them are five mountains: the first is Daiyu, the second is Yuanqiao, the third is Fanghu, the fourth is Yingzhou, and the fifth is height of the mountain is [-] miles, and the flat top is [-] miles.
The trees in Zhugan all grow in clusters, the flowers and fruits all have flavor, and those who eat them will not grow old or die. "
Ye Zhen is very familiar with these ancient Chinese books.
After all, Ye Zhen in his previous life was a man with multiple degrees.
When he was studying, Ye Zhen was the kind of student who was called the god of learning.
The teachers and school at that time were very optimistic about Ye Zhen and believed that Ye Zhen would have great potential in the future.
Ye Zhen recited this ancient text fluently and wrote it on the blackboard behind him.
Ye Zhen has studied these things countless times.
Ye Zhen began to explain what the translation of the ancient text he wrote meant.
"The alchemists and Qin Shihuang back then gave examples.
Look, Your Majesty, there is a woman named Chang'e in ancient books.
She obtained the elixir and successfully flew to the moon to become a fairy.
Then "Lieh Zi" also records that there is a place called Guixu overseas.
It is said that all the sea water in Guixu will pour into it, making it a bottomless pit.
There are five fairy mountains above Guixu.
Daiyu, Yuanqiao, Fanghu, Yingzhou, Penglai.
Immortal immortals live on the fairy mountain. "
The two overseas fairy mountains that everyone often hears about are Penglai and Yingzhou.
In fact, there are five so-called overseas fairy mountains.
"Qin Shihuang heard about it at that time, and with a wave of his hand, he told them to quickly find the fairy mountain."
"But at most this will only make Qin Shihuang start investing in them."
"I still don't fully believe in these alchemists."
"But in the later period, Qin Shihuang could be said to be the power of the whole country."
"Ignoring the persuasion of the ministers around me, I tried my best to let these alchemists go overseas to find immortals."
"Here we have to talk about the supernatural events that the First Emperor encountered after this."
At this point, the audience in front of the TV was piqued by Ye Zhen.
In fact, many ancient books have been destroyed in history.
We no longer know the truth.
