Chapter four hundred and sixty first play the riddle
After hearing the follower say "Ten meters", the hall suddenly became an uproar. The answer was beyond everyone's expectations. People were whispering there, and no one could understand how this "Ten meters" was obtained.
The man in blue turned his head and looked at Zhao Yuzhao. Zhao Yuzhao hesitated for a moment and shook his head slightly at him. Then the man in blue shouted to the follower, "Mr. Mo, my master said, your answer is wrong."[]
When Tan Zong heard this, his brows frowned slightly, and whispered a few words to Chen Si beside him. Chen Si quickly walked to the side of the follower, whispered something to him, and then left.
"If ten meters are wrong, then add 0.334 meters up!" The follower looked at the blue-clothed man opposite with a serious expression and said loudly to him.
The man in blue looked at Zhao Yuzhao again. A smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Yuzhao's mouth, he nodded slightly, and recognized Tan Zong's answer.
"Mr. Mo, my master has another question to ask Mr. Mo for advice, and I hope Mr. Mo can answer it." The man in blue shouted loudly to Tan Zong's room, "My master wants to know why there is a layer of scale at the bottom of the pot that boils water!"
"Brother, did Mr. Mo answer correctly or did he answer wrong?" After hearing the words of the man in blue, the people at the scene couldn't help but wonder. Because the man in blue did not say whether Tan Zong answered correctly or wrongly, they inquired about each other. In the crowd, a tall and thin young man asked suspiciously about his companion beside him.
"It should be right, otherwise I won't ask the next question." The companion shook a folding fan in his hand, put it away with a thud, and said with interest, "This 'Wenkui Conference' is really interesting. A unknown but outstanding literary and intellectual Mo Ren appeared. Someone asked him such a bizarre question, first of which was the height of water absorption, and then the scale at the bottom of the pot, which was simply unaware of what it said."
"However, Mo Ren is really amazing. The smoke locked the willows in the pond is simply a stroke of knowledge." The tall and thin young man felt deeply, looked up at Tan Zong's room, showing his willingness to make friends, "I don't know where he is."
After hearing the problem of scale at the bottom of the pot, Tan Zong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This question was too simple for him. Anyone who had been to high school knew the answer. The only thing that was troublesome was that he had to express the results in popular language and let the people on the scene understand his meaning as much as possible.
After some thought, Tan Zong waved to the entourage at the door, whispered in his ear for a while, and heard the entourage keep nodding.
Seeing the entourage entering the room, the hall couldn't help but quiet. People were waiting enthusiastically, wondering what strange answers Tan Zong would give this time.
"Mr. Mo said that the reason why there is scale at the bottom of the pot is because there is a tiny substance in the water that we cannot see. This substance will decompose after heating, and one of the substances formed is scale." After listening to Tan Zong's order, the follower quickly walked out the door and whispered to the man in blue.
Sure enough, Tan Zong's answer once again caused a stir among the people at the scene. In the eyes of everyone, scale is an impurity hidden in the water. When boiling water, the impurities are separated from the water due to the high temperature, rather than the decomposition that Tan Zong said.
"Dare you ask Mr. Mo, how can you remove this layer of scale?" The man in blue looked back at Zhao Yuzhao, and Zhao Yuzhao nodded slightly, so he continued to ask in a deep voice.
"There are two ways to remove it. The first method is to brush it off the bottom of the pot with a brush. The second method is to add some vinegar to it. The scale will dissolve in the vinegar, but do not add too much, because vinegar can dissolve the bottom of the pot." The follower did not ask Tan Zong for advice, but stood there and talked to the man in blue. Tan Zong had already expected that the other party would not let him go easily, so he was extremely well prepared.
Dashun's kettles are basically made of iron. After hearing that vinegar could dissolve the bottom of the kettle, the hall was immediately furious. People thought that Tan Zong's words were exaggerating. You should know that vinegar is just a soft liquid, so how can it cause damage to the hard iron?
The man in blue turned his head and looked at Zhao Yuzhao. Zhao Yuzhao laughed and nodded at the man in blue. She was finally sure that Tan Zong had great achievements in physics and chemistry, and also guessed Tan Zong's identity as "Yin Ren", because only those "Yin Ren" could know what she said.
"My owner still has another question to ask..." Seeing this, the big man in blue shouted to Tan Zong's room. Zhao Yuzhao was prepared this time. She prepared three questions, about physics, chemistry and biology, and wanted to see if Tan Zong can pass.
"Wait, your master has asked two questions in a row, and Mr. Mo also has a question to ask her." Before the big man in blue finished speaking, the follower suddenly spoke and interrupted him loudly.
When the man in blue heard this, he had to look at Zhao Yuzhao again. Zhao Yuzhao smiled slightly and nodded. She wanted to see what difficult questions would Tan Zong raise.
"Please tell me." The big man in blue stretched out his hand at the entourage and said in a deep voice.
The people who were whispering about the relationship between vinegar and kettle suddenly became quiet and looked at the follower standing in front of the fence in unison. Everyone wanted to know how sharp Tan Zong’s counterattack would be. The “Smoke Locked Pond Willow” just now had brought unexpected surprises to everyone.
"Under ideal circumstances, throw an iron ball or a feather from the upstairs, which one will land first?" The entourage cleared his voice and said confidently. Although he was just passing a message to Tan Zong in the middle, being able to be noticed by these talents in the capital in such an occasion really made him feel energetic.
After the follower finished speaking, the scene was silent. People were stunned by Tan Zong's question and couldn't help but look at each other. This question was a little incredible. It was simply a three-year-old child who could know the answer.
Zhao Yuzhao shook his head slightly and whispered a few words in the ear of the maid beside him. The maid's face suddenly showed a look of surprise, and then walked out the door to tell the man in blue.
"My owner said that the iron ball and feather hit the ground at the same time." A trace of astonishment flashed across the eyes of the man in blue, and he said loudly to the follower.
At this moment, the silent crowd was like boiling water, and suddenly became boiling. You said, and I said, talking as if no one else was around, thinking that the answer of the man in blue was extremely ridiculous. The iron ball could not land with the feathers no matter what!
After hearing this, Tan Zong smiled slightly and drank the wine in his glass in his hand. If he knew the law of gravity, the other party's knowledge level should have reached the high school stage.
"Brother Tan, you won't tell me that the iron ball and the feather landed at the same time! The iron ball is so heavy and the feathers are so light, how could they land at the same time?" Looking at Tan Zong who was smiling, Qin Biyong looked at him suspiciously.
If it were before, Qin Biyong would never have thought that the iron ball and feather landed at the same time. However, after experiencing what happened to Tan Zong tonight, judging from Tan Zong's reaction, he could not help but suspect that the answer that seemed absurd by the man in blue was the correct answer in Tan Zong's heart.
"He was right, both did land at the same time." Tan Zong put down the wine glass in his hand and said to Qin Biyong with a smile, "In fact, the whereabouts of objects have nothing to do with weight."
Tan Zong could only explain so much to Qin Biyong, because Qin Biyong would not understand the concept of gravity acceleration at all. Even if he explained in detail, he could not understand the meaning of Qin Biyong. This is the gap between the two sides due to the different eras they have emerged.
"I think you are playing a puzzle, and only you two understand what you said." As Tan Zong admitted in person, Qin Biyong shook his head with a wry smile. His mind was blank now, and he felt that what Tan Zong said was like an incomprehensible heavenly book.
Dangdang...
Because the sound in the hall was too noisy, the guy from Qingfeng Tower began to beat the gong. The crisp sound of the gong gradually calmed down the people talking, looking up at the entourage, wanting to know his reaction to the answer.
"Please!" What disappointed everyone was that just like the man in blue, the follower did not indicate whether the man in blue's answer was correct, but just stretched out his hand to signal that he could ask questions.
Seeing this, the people in the hall couldn't help but booed with dissatisfaction. Just as Qin Biyong said, Tan Zong and Zhao Yuzhao were like they were playing a puzzle. Except for the two of them, no one knew what they were talking about.
"My owner wants to ask Mr. Mo why leaves change color in autumn!" Seeing this, the man in blue asked loudly.
When they heard this question, the people at the scene did not show too many surprises because they have now adapted to the incredible questions and answers of Tan Zong and Zhao Yuzhao.
In everyone's opinion, this question is completely nonsense. The so-called cycle of heaven, all things must go through the moment of birth and death. As the saying goes, in life, the grass and trees will naturally be difficult to escape the fate of death. When the leaves fall in autumn, the color will naturally change accordingly.
"Change color?" Tan Zong felt curious when he heard this. The person who could ask this question had a wide range of knowledge. The previous three questions involved physics, chemistry and biology, three different fields.
However, Tan Zong knew what the other party wanted to ask. Such high school level questions could not stump him. So after a moment of contemplation, he called the follower at the door and told him the answer in Qin Biyong's puzzled eyes.
"Because the green substance in the leaves disappeared." The follower came to the fence with his head held high and said loudly to the blue-clothed man.
Regarding Tan Zong's answer, the people in the hall reported to each other with inquisitive eyes. Everyone wanted to figure out what green substances were inside the fallen leaves.
"Green matter?" After hearing this answer, Qin Rong looked at Zhao Yuzhao in confusion. She wanted to know what the green matter in Tan Zong's mouth meant.
Zhao Yuzhao understood Tan Zong's euphemism, and the green substance in his mouth refers to chlorophyll.
The reason why leaves change color is related to the chemical substance contained in them - chlorophyll. When autumn comes, the daytime is shorter than summer and the temperature is lower. Therefore, leaves stop producing chlorophyll and transport the remaining nutrients to the trunk and roots for storage.
In this way, green chlorophyll is missing in the leaves, and at the same time, other chemical pigments contained in it appear, so we often see leaves of yellow and brown colors.
"Sister-in-law, green matter is something that promotes growth in the leaves." Zhao Yuzhao explained to Qin Rong with a smile, then nodded at the door to the big man in blue who was looking at him, and made a gesture at the same time.
"My master has any questions to ask Mr. Mo, please wait." Seeing this, the big man in blue arched his hand at Tan Zong's room.
Tan Zong was much more difficult to deal with than Zhao Yuzhao imagined. She had to find a more difficult question to test Tan Zong, otherwise she would lose face in front of Qin Rong.
"Since that's the case, then Mr. Mo will ask your master a question first." The entourage said loudly to the man in blue, "Mr. Mo wants to know, how much is one plus one?"
The people in the hall thought they had heard it wrong, so they quickly asked each other. When they learned that Tan Zong was really asking a question like one plus one, which is equivalent to one, everyone looked at the man in blue with interest, wanting to know how his master would answer.
"Godbach conjecture!" Zhao Yuzhao couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this, and muttered to himself. She never expected Tan Zong to use such a tricky question to test her. She just heard that the Goldbach conjecture is very famous and didn't know how to answer it.
Afterwards, Zhao Yuzhao shook her head at the man in blue. She now wanted to know how Tan Zong would answer this question.
"Mr. Mo, please give me advice." The man in blue turned to Tan Zong's room, bowed to the room, and said loudly.
"One plus one is of course equal to two!" As soon as the man in blue finished speaking, the follower said loudly in a teasing tone.
"Haha..." After a few seconds of silence, a burst of laughter suddenly broke out. Only then did everyone realize that Tan Zong's question was really so simple, but for some reason, the owner of the blue-clothed man did not answer.
"Damn guy!" Zhao Yuzhao didn't expect Tan Zong's answer to be like this. He was stunned at first, then he raised his eyebrows and punched him on the table. Tan Zong actually took advantage of her awe of the Goldbach conjecture and played with her when she was unprepared. She couldn't tell Tan Zong about the Goldbach conjecture that she didn't even know how to prove it.
"It seems that the other party is really related to the Supervision Office." At this moment, Tan Zong couldn't help but say in his heart that the reason why he asked a simple question like one plus one was to verify the identity of the master of the blue-clothed man. The master of the blue-clothed man could not answer it. The only explanation was that he had contacted the Goldbach conjecture, so he looked forward and could not answer it, otherwise he would have answered it long ago.
