Into Unscientific

"What did you say?"

Entrance to Hyde Park.

Seeing Aveline who left the room only two minutes later than the two of them, Xu Yun's pupils suddenly widened:

"Student Avelyn, you also quit the Apostle Club?"

across from him.

Avelyn nodded calmly, her expression looked as casual as if she had given up a certain piece of clothing while shopping:

"That's right, it doesn't make much sense to stay in the club anyway, and some people like to talk about my gender behind my back, so they quit the club altogether."

"In addition, when I left, I gave Clement's head a blow."

between talking.

Avelyn also made a gesture of hitting someone, with a vaguely excited expression on her face.

Do not know why.

When seeing Aveline's action.

Xu Yun subconsciously thought of the pile of cow dung that the girl threw on his face when he first met Lilani.

The original Avelyn was too quiet, and it was only at this time that she could see some shadows of that brat jumping out.

Could it be that the bloodline has awakened?

No, no, now is not the time to think about these things.

Then Xu Yun shook his head, forcing himself to recover.

He first glanced at Laotang, then at Avelyn, and slapped his forehead with a slap:

"Trouble"

Originally, he was still troubled by Laotang's actions, but he didn't expect that before he left the park gate, the girl Avelyn also came up with a wave of operations from above.

This tmd is the Cambridge Apostolic Society.

Although Lao Tang in the original history was not very happy in the club, he has already completed his third year of graduate school this year, and he is only about a year and a half away from graduation.

So in the end he passed the last period of time smoothly, and pushed the wheat into the club.

But right now, Lao Tang quit the company early and abstained himself, and Mai Mai will definitely not join next year.

In this way.

JJ Thomson, who discovered electronics, and Godfrey Hardy, a little fan of wheat, also have a high probability of cutting off the possibility of joining the club, and Hardy's friend Bertrand Russell will most likely choose to refuse

hiss.

All of a sudden, so many "ZTE" bosses were missing.

Is it possible that the Cambridge Apostolic Society will not reach its future heights?

To know.

The impact of the Apostolic Society on modern history is not necessarily all negative.

To be honest, the UK is actually a very complicated country.

They have brutal and shameless aggressive butchers, shady and inferior backstabs, and international friends who can sacrifice their lives for righteousness.

If you have paid attention to British history, you will find that they often have examples where the descendants of the upper class sympathize with the common people and even sacrifice their lives for the common people.

For example, the famous Cambridge Five.

These five were true redists, and even caused IM6 to issue a decision not to recruit any personnel in Cambridge in the late period of the war.

So there are bad people in the Apostolic Club, but there are also neutral people or international friends.

Not to mention that the contribution of the Cambridge Apostles Society in scientific research is not low. With the gradual improvement of the status of natural sciences, the Apostles Society will pay more attention to the absorption of scientific research talents in the future.

Although some members of the Apostolic Society belonged to vested interests during the invasion of China, it would be considered cheap for them to be shot 800 times individually.

But these people together can't reach the concept of 'behind the scenes'. At most, they are just a weight to influence the direction to a certain extent.

Therefore, when the field of vision is expanded to the whole of the Apostolic Society, and the past is looked down from the span of two hundred years in the future, the merits of the Apostolic Society will still outweigh its mistakes.

If such a community has undergone some bad changes.

no doubt.

When the final deduction is settled, this part will definitely be negative, and the deducted points must not be low.

what should i do

Pat——

Xu Yun couldn't help kicking a stone away, feeling a little annoyed.

Then he glanced at Lao Tang beside him, suddenly thought of something, and asked:

"By the way, Mr. Thomson, what about that man named Clement?

"You obviously didn't provoke him, why did you feel like you've taken gunpowder the moment you open your mouth?"

"You said Clement"

Hearing this name, Lao Tang first put his hands in his trouser pockets, looked up at the sky, and then said slowly:

"He's a very radical, extreme racist."

Xu Yun was taken aback for a moment, and repeated:

"racist?"

Lao Tang nodded and continued:

"Remember the story of Scotland and England in Chapter 223? Clement is a descendant of a northerner."

"He only recognizes the kinship of England and Wales, and is extremely hostile to Scotland and Northern Ireland, let alone the distant eastern continent."

"At present he is a member of the British House of Commons, belonging to the Whig Party, and has repeatedly proposed to conquer Scotland by force."

As he said that, Old Tang paused, glanced at Avelyn beside him, and said:

"In addition, he is also the third president of the Apostles Society, and his status allows him to come into contact with a lot of secrets."

"The attack we encountered back then seems to have the shadow of Clement's forces behind it, and...the probability is very high."

When Xu Yun heard this, his footsteps froze.

Good guy.

Ultra-nationalist, violent and suspected to be related to the wheat attack

This time, if you don't want to be right, you have to be right.

Then he rolled his eyes and suddenly understood something:

"Whigs, the party of Henry John Temple?"

Lao Tang nodded again and said:

"The Whig Party is also divided into several factions. The faction behind Clement has shown some decline due to the failure of the attack, so he hopes to find a new faction to shelter and develop."

Xu Yun nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly realized.

I see

That way it all makes sense

At the very beginning, Lao Tang was ostracized in the Apostles Club, and he was in a difficult situation.

These exclusions mainly come from two aspects:

First, it was targeted by the current president, Rossetti. The two had conflicts because of running for the president.

The second reason is the hostility of Clement, an old commune member—Old Tang is a genuine Scot.

At that time, in order to break the situation, Lao Tang took the initiative to apply, hoping to go to Scotland to pick up Mai.

The next thing is to dig Xu Yun from the grave, and the night attack on the outpost

In fact, after the night attack, Xu Yun has always had a question in his heart:

Take care.

There are a large number of people coming and going in and out of Cambridge University every day, Lao Tang's itinerary will not be too eye-catching, and the transfer of this size should also be highly confidential in theory.

But why can we see the portraits of Lao Tang and Mai on the body of Kurtz who was captured at the beginning—that is, the informant hunter in Mendi Solo Village?

Listening to what Lao Tang said now, the puzzle has been easily solved:

Because there is a ghost inside the Apostles Club!

It is not difficult for a third president of the Apostolic Society, who is also a member of the House of Commons, to gain access to this secret.

Maybe from another angle.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this incident that Clement and the forces behind him were exposed.

And on the other hand.

Henry John Temple was a mainstay of the Whig Party, but he was not part of the faction behind Clement, and the attack should have had little to do with the Foreign Secretary.

Therefore, when faced with the counterattack of William Whewell, the real main force of the Cambridge department, he can watch the fire from the other side leisurely.

After the attack failed, Clement noticed the change in the situation and contacted some members of the Apostolic Society.

They set the test question for the interview with the Apostles Club as singing carols for Temple, which was used as a testimonial.

All the doubts are connected into a thread, which can be completely solved today.

Grass snake gray line, foreshadowing thousands of miles.JPG.

be honest.

This trick is indeed a very subtle idea, but why did I meet such an unexpected visitor as Xu Yun who didn't play cards according to common sense.

After all, even if you let him figure out all the dog's brains, you can't guess that there are traversers in this world.

In other words.

Inadvertently, Xu Yun actually spoiled Clement's good deeds twice.

Then Xu Yun raised his head, glanced at the seemingly leisurely Lao Tang, and asked:

"Mr. Thomson, what are you going to do next?"

Lao Tang lowered his eyes, at this moment his heart was far less relaxed than it seemed on the surface:

"Let's take one step at a time. Anyway, I will graduate in more than a year, and I don't plan to stay in Cambridge University after graduation."

"It's Evelyn, you were a little impulsive tonight, and you provoked an enemy like Clement for no reason."

Avelyn shrugged at him when she heard the words, and said indifferently:

"If you provoke me, please provoke me. Ancestor Lilani left a saying in the past, which is 'Punch first, and then ask all the questions when you punch'-this is what Mr. Fat Fish told her."

Xu Yun:

"."

After finishing speaking, Avelyn glanced at Lao Tang again, her blue eyes were faintly reflecting in the dark night, and she only heard her meaningful words:

"It's Mr. Thomson, you are the one who is under the most pressure."

"Next you have to participate in the election of the President of the Student Union. If you lose the election, it will not be a question of where to go after graduation."

Hearing Aveline's words.

Before Lao Tang had time to express, Xu Yun on the side was taken aback.

Yes, President of the Student Union.

How could I forget about this?

Lao Tang has completely fallen out with the Apostle Society now, and Rossetti and Clement, the two enemies of Lao Tang, are staring at each other.

Even if you can guess with your toes, the Apostle Society will definitely support Lao Tang's opponent!

In this way.

The pressure on Lao Tang will be countless times greater.

After all, the chairman election is a way of Huashan. If he fails, the only thing waiting for him is the result of graduating.

Not to mention the problem of task scoring, just because of the friendship Xu Yun and Lao Tang formed during this period, he couldn't just sit back and watch this happen.

Think here.

Xu Yun's mind suddenly seemed to be grinding, and an idea came out without warning.

He was silent for a moment, looking at Lao Tang and Avelyn beside him.

With an extremely subtle emotion in his tone, he said:

"Senior Thomson, you said that if we also form a new club... is this idea feasible?"

"What, forming a new club?"

Lao Tang was taken aback for a moment, but soon frowned:

"Of course there is no problem simply establishing a new society, but if you want to compete with the Apostle Society, it may be very difficult in terms of difficulty."

From a school standpoint.

Cambridge University has no restrictions on students forming clubs, at least with Lao Tang's contacts, there is obviously no pressure.

But if combined with today's background, the new club that Xu Yun mentioned is undoubtedly a new organization built towards the Apostles Club.

Regardless of the small number of people in the Apostolic Society, its particularity is there, and it can be regarded as the highest-ranking society in Cambridge.

In the eyes of the school leaders, the rest of the clubs may not be as important as the Apostles Club.

In this case, Xu Yun wants to establish a society and make it surpass the Apostle Society.

The difficulty is really big, and it can even be said to be whimsical.

But he was opposite, Xu Yun seemed a little excited at this moment:

"No, no, Mr. Thomson, you may be mistaken."

"Maybe our newly established society will not be able to surpass the Apostles Society in all aspects in the short term, but if the scope is positioned within the school, I think it is still feasible."

Talking and talking.

Xu Yun's face suddenly became cloudy and uncertain, as if hesitating about something.

after awhile.

As if he had made a certain decision, he gritted his teeth, and said to Lao Tang with the expression of an old Chinese medicine doctor with Tibetan medicine on TV:

"Mr Thomson, to tell you the truth,"

"Actually, the ancestors of Fat Yu left a lot of manuscripts, but quite a few of them involve the inheritance of the Fenglingyue Shadow Sect, and they are required to keep it secret."

"Although our family's ancestral precepts are not to show these manuscripts to others easily, but the current situation is special, and I have no choice but to make a decision that goes against my ancestors."

Seeing Xu Yun with the expression of "I'm an unfilial son", Lao Tang was slightly taken aback for a moment.

Immediately, light appeared in his eyes.

Fat fish?

That's right, there is a fat fish behind Xu Yun!

If it is said that Xu Yun does have some inheritance left by Fat Yu in his hands, maybe

Is there really a chance?

Prince Albert, who is now in power, is an industrial madman. It is not difficult to see from the establishment of a natural science degree at Cambridge University that the importance of technology in the high-level vision is constantly increasing.

If Xu Yun can really come up with something attractive, Cambridge University will definitely support him.

At that time, it may still be impossible to fight against the Apostles Society at a higher level, but it may really be able to overwhelm the Apostles Society in the school:

Don't say anything else.

According to the information that Lao Tang has learned, many students in the school are very interested in science and technology.

Besides, there is a good saying.

Anyway, no money, just try a little bit.

It would be a surprise if this new association could bring a little bit of support to itself in the election for the president of the Student Federation, or if it could offset the pressure of the Apostles Association a little.

Think here.

Lao Tang couldn't help but stop, and asked Avelyn beside him:

"Student Avelyn, what do you think?"

Avelyn quietly glanced at Xu Yun until he got a little hairy, then said:

"I don't have any objections. If you build a society, count me in."

See this situation.

Xu Yun just breathed a sigh of relief.

That's right.

Establishing a new society was the idea that had just occurred to him.

After all, the Apostle Society is destined to lower its own score, so why not create a society with a higher score!

Anyway, looking at the more than 200-year history of the Apostolic Society, the members who participated in politics during the period of 1850-1900 basically had nothing to offer.

That being the case.

Why not abandon these tumors and set up a society with a more intense scientific research color?

As for the confidence that this new society can compete with the Apostles Society, there are two main points.

One is Xu Yun's status as a time traveler. He may be a younger brother in politics, but he talked about science in 1850

joke.

If you tie up the group of people from the Apostles Club, I'm afraid you won't be able to win a single finger from him.

The second reason

But the Apostle Society is still very young, and the external moves cannot threaten Xu Yun's personal safety.

The year when the Apostolic Society was established was the 1820s. Later generations have different opinions on the specific year, but one thing is certain:

Tennyson entered Cambridge University in 1828.

Even taking into account the fact that Tennyson became acquainted with F.D. Morris three years ago, the actual establishment of the Apostolic Society would not be earlier than 1825.

1850-1825=25.

According to "angels", that is, graduate students who enter at the age of 22, the oldest of the first batch of apostles is only 47 years old.

Not to mention that this is only the most ideal situation.

In the information that can be found in later generations, the first member of the Apostolic Society to enter the political arena is called Felipe Villa, who is only 42 years old now.

Even if an apostle of this age enters the House of Commons, he is at most an ordinary member. That is, one of the 650 seats in the House of Commons.

The identity of a member of parliament is definitely very honorable in terms of the current British society, but there is still at least 15 years to go before the real center of power.

so.

If you are facing the Apostles Club, which will be scattered and connected to countless industries in 2022, Xu Yun will definitely not say a word, go back to the hotel, wash and sleep, and finish the work, and you will deduct some points when you pay.

But the Apostolic Society of 1850.

Xu Yun thought he still had a chance to break his wrist.

Of course.

The intention to establish an association is well established, but in practice there are still many steps to go.

for example

Get new things.

It's a coincidence.

Laotang and Avelyn happened to book the same hotel, so the three of them saved the trouble of arranging another place to talk.

After returning to the hotel.

They quickly reunited in Xu Yun's guest room.

Laotang first bought some common British appetizers such as dried fruit, mustard peas, fried pork skin, Cornish pasty, etc. from the front desk of the hotel, and then asked Xu Yun to bring back a bucket of butter beer.

The three of them chatted about club affairs while drinking in the room.

"That's what I think, Mr. Thomson."

Xu Yun picked up a piece of fried pork skin from the dinner plate, put it in his mouth and started to chew it:

"Our new society does not involve politics or literature. Its sole purpose is to explore scientific truth."

"As for the venue, we will first rent it from Dean Whewell. With what happened a few days ago as a basis, it must not be a big problem."

William Whewell proposed the word scientist more than twenty years ago, so Lao Tang easily understood his thoughts and asked:

"You mean to form a community of lovers of the natural sciences?"

Xu Yun nodded, affirming:

"That's right, but the subjects may be more biased towards physics, chemistry and biology. I will not consider classical subjects for the time being."

After he finished speaking, he paused, leaned his left elbow on the chair, changed to a more comfortable position, and said:

"In fact, I have observed some situations in the school these days. Although natural science is a new subject, there are many potential audiences in the school."

"Not to mention anything else, just the open space where we did the experiment a few days ago, there have been people around there doing something these days."

Lao Tang nodded slightly.

He also knows what Xu Yun said. After Xu Yun's three rounds of experiments were over, some students have been trying to reproduce related experiments.

The school did not order to stop it, and generously provided some brand new equipment for the students to try to restore.

Now it's night.

There will be more than a dozen students gathered in that area, plus varying numbers of onlookers.

So like what Xu Yun said.

Although the course of natural science has only been established in Cambridge University recently, the audience still has great potential.

In fact, it is normal to think about it.

After all, science and literature are the two major fields of later generations.

There are many people wandering in the ocean of literature, but there are also many people who like to experiment, right?

Not to mention that 1850 was still in the enlightenment stage of modern science, and many experiments could actually be carried out without too sophisticated equipment.

This unknown phenomenon is still very impactful conceptually.

In addition, there is a piece of data in later generations that can also prove this point:

in the original history.

In 1850, the number of freshmen at Cambridge University who chose natural sciences was 107, accounting for 16.5% of the freshmen.

In 1852, it rose to 176 people, accounting for 23%.

In 1855, the number reached 297, accounting for 35%.

This is still the number of majors, and there will be more students including electives.

Looking at Xu Yun who was quite confident, Lao Tang pondered for a moment and asked:

"Xu Yun, if the club is successfully established, how do you plan to recruit new people?"

"Should I go directly to the open space to recruit people, or print and distribute leaflets? Or recruit members privately?"

Friends who have engaged in sales promotion in future generations should know it.

It's one thing to have a potential customer, it's another to turn him into a real customer.

At present, Cambridge University can only be regarded as the soil for the development of scientific societies, but it is obviously not something that can be done in a short time to make these soils grow fruit.

In Laotang's opinion.

Xu Yun's methods of attracting people should be as follows:

Go to the open space at night to try to persuade the students who are doing experiments repeatedly, or just spread the leaflets widely.

If it is a little more outrageous, I will personally wear women's PY or something

For example, the Apostles Club back then.

That's right.

The Apostle Club also encountered difficulties in recruitment at the beginning:

In the early days of the establishment of the society, Tennyson and others fell in love with a freshman named Gianelli Cone majoring in classical literature, but the other party had some resistance to joining the society.

So Tennyson and the others collected some money privately, and invited each other to be guests in the form of a tea party.

After more than a month of hard work, Gianelli Kone finally succumbed to the desserts of the Apostle Society

By the way, one more interesting thing.

Didn't Tennyson later publish a "Lyric Poetry" at his own expense-that is, the one that prompted Hallam to write "On the Characteristics of Modern Poetry and Tennyson's Lyric Poems", and became a pauper after publication .

In addition, Hallam and another F.D. Morris are also poor, so the Apostle Society once had no money to buy desserts.

So in desperation.

Tennyson had no choice but to go out in person and catch up with the daughter of a cake shop owner in London. From then on, the Apostle Society had a new source of desserts.

The girl's name was Tina Sellwood, and twenty years later she became Tennyson's sister-in-law.

Well, sister-in-law - in 1850, Tennyson married Emily Sellwood, Tina Sellwood's sister, and Tina Sellwood was the bridesmaid.

It’s a good thing Tennyson didn’t live in the world of Conan, otherwise, one person would have died in this incident, and two might have died in a big episode.

all in all.

The Apostles Club with Tennyson, who was called a youth idol at the time, had such a difficult development at the beginning, let alone the new club that Xu Yun planned to establish.

To be able to recruit ten people within two months, and to be able to see initial results within half a year to help him, this is the limit that Lao Tang can imagine.

As for faster?

No way!

If this kind of thing can really happen, he will go and eat the ax in Mai's dormitory on the spot!

in the guest room.

Facing Lao Tang's question, Xu Yun leisurely picked up a pea, stuffed it into his mouth, and said while chewing:

"Mr. Thomson, I have some ideas about the recruiting plan. I am sure that after the establishment of the association, one... No, within two weeks, more than 20 members will be recruited."

Lao Tang didn't notice the number Xu Yun said at first, so he vaccinated him according to his original idea:

"Well, this goal is still a bit high. The underwear club I founded only recruited three people in a month. Wait?"

While talking, Lao Tang suddenly reacted.

He stared at Xu Yun in a daze, and after a while, his voice became louder:

"What are you talking about? Twenty members in two weeks?"

Looking at Lao Tang with the expression of "Do you fmd know how many people there are in Cambridge University?", Xu Yun nodded again:

"That's right, 20 members in two weeks."

Xu Yun's tone was very calm. In fact, if he hadn't considered the fucking weather in England, he would have planned to talk for a week.

across from him.

"you"

Lao Tang opened his mouth, and subconsciously wanted to refute it.

But immediately he thought of Xu Yun's previous operations, and his expression suddenly became uncertain.

Ever since he met Xu Yun, he has seen too many strange things from this oriental man.

After a few seconds.

He took a deep look at Xu Yun and asked:

"Luo Feng, what are you planning to do?"

Xu Yun spread his hands when he heard the words, and said directly:

"Secret."

Old Tang and Aveline:

"."

See this situation.

Xu Yun couldn't help but sighed, and explained aloud:

"Mr. Thomson, I'm afraid you don't understand that we in the East have some special customs in this regard."

"It's just that if I say something now, I won't subscribe in the future, bah, it won't work."

"So please forgive me, both of you, and I will tell you when the time is right."

Lao Tang Jian said that he and Avelyn looked at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Forget it."

I don't know if Xu Yun's previous operations gave Lao Tang confidence. He really didn't ask about Xu Yun's plan, but asked:

"In this case, when you go back, you can go to my place to get an application form, and go through the process as soon as possible."

After speaking, he thought of something again, and continued to ask:

"By the way, have you settled on the name of the club yet?"

Xu Yun shook his head and asked back:

"Why, Mr. Thomson, do you have any good advice?"

Lao Tang picked up the beer and took a sip, wiped the corners of his mouth when he was done, and said:

"I do have some ideas."

Then he looked at Xu Yun and Avelyn, thought for a moment, and said:

"Although natural science is an emerging subject, judging from the current trend, its barriers are actually higher than literature, right?"

Xu Yun and Avelyn nodded together.

well known.

Although there are some villains in the scientific and literary circles, but from the perspective of horizontal comparison, the moisture in the literary world is obviously greater.

In the scientific world, even the kind of people with mixed qualifications can pass the basic knowledge more or less, and the professional knowledge can even fool some laymen.

But the literary world is different.

There is a saying in later generations that you can write poetry as long as you know the space bar, which is enough to explain many things.

For example, Jia, or Zhao Zhuzi.

Therefore, from the concept of industry barriers.

Science is indeed higher than literature.

Seeing that Xu Yun and Avelyn agreed, Lao Tang became more talkative:

"So the members we recruit in the future must be potential talents in related fields, so I think the name of our club, why not call it Shueisha?"

Xu Yun:

"."

"It's not right."

Before Xu Yun said anything, Avelyn shook her head:

"The name Shueisha is a little silly. Mr. Thomson, the ancestor of Newton once said that physics is to complement human cognition, so I think it can be called the Human Completion Committee."

"Student Avelyn, why don't we set a benchmark, which means surpassing the literature club, and call it the Yuewen Group."

"It doesn't sound good, Mr. Thomson, isn't our club going to explore science to understand everything? Let's call it Know, which is Xiao Organization"

"Student Avelyn, what do you think of this? We are going to be wavers of the new era, singing and dancing on the top of the waves in the sea, taking the number seven that God created the world, and attaching respect to Her Royal Highness, which is called Under the king, seven dances in the sea."

"."

Xu Yun's scalp became more and more numb when he heard it, and finally couldn't help interrupting:

"Enough, listen to me!"

Swish——

Lao Tang and Aviline looked at him together.

Xu blinked, pondered for a moment, and said:

"Ancestor Fat Yu once met two people in the East, one named Mr. Sai and the other named Mr. De."

"Later, the ancestors felt it, and impromptuly built a school to talk about academics."

"it's called"

"Gewu Society!"
