Facing his assistant's question, Zhao Rong said with a smile, "Assistant, have you heard of the ancient Greek philosopher Archimedes?"
Hearing the name, the assistant laughed. "Of course! Isn't he that old man from Ancient Greece who loved to let his imagination run wild?"
While prying with the rod, Zhao Rong said to his assistant, "Archimedes once said, 'Give me a lever, and I will move the Earth.' So now, if you give me a lever, I can move this boulder."
As he spoke, Zhao Rong applied the principles of mechanics and gently pressed down on the lever. The moment he did, the massive boulder weighing dozens of tons was instantly pried loose.
