Into Unscientific

be honest.

Since the two sides have known each other.

Xu Yun's feelings for this girl, Avelyn, are actually quite complicated.

Of course.

The complexity here is not about the love between men and women, but in other aspects.

First thing is.

In the original history, she did not exist at all.

That's right.

does not exist.

Because Lilani didn't leave any descendants -- not even in real history.

In the deduction, Lilani died in a shipwreck heading to the Netherlands in order to find Xu Yun. He was less than 20 years old before his death.

In real history, Lilani grew up to become a nun and died of liver cancer at the age of 44.

Therefore, there is no such person as Avelyn Escue in real history, and her appearance can be said to be inextricably linked to Xu Yun.

It can be said that it was because of the letter that Xu Yun sent back then that Avelyn appeared.

Coupled with the regret for Lilani in the deduction, and the joy of learning that the calf has offspring alive.

And the accident after Aveline broke the photovoltaic bug

All kinds of factors were intertwined, which finally caused Xu Yun's feelings for Avelyn to be a little subtle.

Unexpectedly, at today's Christmas dinner, Avelyn actually wrote down her desire to go to the East.

This makes the whole situation more subtle and complicated.

Of course.

As a Wang with a strong engineering background, Xu Yun naturally wouldn't be so narcissistic that he thought that Avelyn wrote this sentence because she liked her.

In reality, there may be that kind of humanoid self-propelled hormones, and a smile can arouse the favor of others.

But the name of this kind of person may be called the reader, may be called the leader, but it is absolutely impossible to be called Xu Yun.

If what he expected is right.

The reason why Avelyn wanted to go to the East was probably to fulfill her long-cherished wish of meeting Lilani and the Mavericks.

After all, the name Dongfang or Fat Fish can be said to have changed the fate of the entire Escu family.

Back then, Xu Yun once said that he was from Fujian, and perhaps it was also recorded somewhere in the form of a memo.

As for the pronunciation of 'hujian', it falls into the category of trivial details. Do you know how many people would call the word "disagreeable" even in 2022?

Aveline didn't add the word "braised in soy sauce" in front of it. To be honest, she was already very worthy of Xu Yun.

Then Xu Yun put away the notebook and was about to say something to finish.

However, before the words were spoken, Avelyn who was on the side said first:

"It's your turn next, classmate Luo Feng."

Xu Yun was stunned for a moment, and the words he had prepared were stuck in his throat:

"I?"

Avelyn nodded, cast a reasonable look at him, and said:

"Isn't that what you said? Everyone at the scene must write down their expectations."

"Now that we've finished writing, it's just you and Sylph."

"Sylph is still young, and she has no concept of life planning and dreams, and she is not very literate, so she doesn't have to write."

"But mother."

Following Aveline's words, Mai Mai on the side immediately booed:

"That's right, Mr. Luo Feng, this is a rule set by you, you can't pretend to be stupid, those who pretend to be stupid will eat an axe."

Old Tang on the opposite side did not speak.

His shoulders sank, he took out an ax from under the chair, and silently put it on the table.

Xu Yun:

"."

This is considered digging a hole for someone, but it ended up digging on yourself?

A few seconds passed.

Looking at the people around him who were staring at him, Xu Yun sighed resignedly.

Returning to his seat with his head drooping, he picked up a pen and paper and began to write.

Just as soon as he wrote, he paused again.

What should I write about myself?

Let alone ten or twenty years now, he only has about ten months left in the dungeon.

In other words, on the day they agreed to reunite, Xu Yun would have returned to reality long ago, so he definitely couldn't make it to the scene.

In addition, I am a person from later generations, and in this era, I actually don't have any expectations.

But if you write the content of future generations, let’s not talk about whether Xiaomai and the others can understand it in the future.

Think here.

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Xu Yun's heart, he lowered his head and began to write in his notebook.

About ten minutes passed.

He put down his pen, held his notebook and came to Laotang, and said:

"Mr. Thomson, since I am the initiator of this 'game', it shouldn't be a problem for me to make a reasonable request, right?"

Lao Tang looked up at him, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and asked:

"any request?"

Xu Yun raised the notebook in his hand and said:

"Mr. Thomson, I will not disclose the contents of the notebook today, and we will open it together at the future party, is that okay?"

"I can guarantee that when we reunite, everyone will watch it together, it will be much more interesting than making it public now."

When Lao Tang heard this, he was taken aback for a moment.

Good guy.

Can you still play like this?

He subconsciously wanted to refute, but before he could say "how can that be done", he thought of another thing:

This was Xu Yun's first request to himself since he met him.

And before that.

But I already owed him a large sum of favors, plus a life

Think here.

Lao Tang hesitated for a moment, glanced at the people at the table, and finally said:

"In that case, Luo Feng, let's do as you say."

Xu Yun nodded, his face didn't change much.

Lao Tang's reaction was within his expectations, and he was not worried about Lao Tang or others peeping.

First of all, the characters on the scene are all very good, and they can basically kill a group of Mavericks in seconds, so they won't do such dirty things as peeking.

secondly

What he left behind was not words, but something else.

Even if someone has peeked at the content now, it will be impossible to decipher it within ten months—unless that person is also a time traveler.

all in all.

At this point, the next step is only one:

Make an appointment for the next meeting.

Hubert Airy has a relatively outgoing personality, so he was the first to raise his hand and reported a certain time first:

"What do you think of Christmas ten years from now? An integer year is easy to remember."

"Ten years from now?"

Lao Tang's fingers tapped on the table a few times, and he exchanged glances with Riemann and the others, and they all shook their heads in unison:

"Ten years later, half of us will be under the age of 30, and only Kirchhoff and I will be over the age of 35. The time to complete the goal is still a bit short."

Then Evelyn thought for a while, and also reported a number:

"And what about fifteen years from now?"

fifteen years.

Apart from Sylph, the youngest person on the scene was Tian Haosuo, who was 18 years old this year.

Next is Wheat, who is 19 years old this year.

Fifteen years later, one was 33, one was 34, and the others were approaching forty.

In addition to the difficulty of Laotang's president of the Royal Society, other plans should be able to be completed in theory.

So soon, everyone had a bottom line in their hearts.

However, before they had time to express their views, a voice suddenly came out from the side:

"In that case, what about July 20, 1866?"

Everyone looked around.

As expected, the person who spoke was Xu Yun.

"July 20, 1866?"

Lao Tang repeated the time, and said to Xu Yun curiously:

"Luo Feng, why is it set at such a time? It doesn't seem easy to remember, does it?"

Xu Yun glanced at Riemann beside him calmly, thought for a moment, and said with a smile:

"I'm afraid you don't know something, Mr. Thomson."

"According to the Eastern astronomical algorithm, July 20, 1866 should be a very auspicious day."

"This day is very suitable for a reunion after a long absence, and it can also bless you with good health, so I personally recommend choosing this day."

Do not know why.

When Xu Yun said the word "auspicious\

,"Riemann on the side suddenly panicked, feeling an inexplicable feeling.

It was as if there was a ghost with a long tongue licking and licking the back of the neck.

"Auspicious day?"

However, Lao Tang didn't notice Riemann's abnormality, but pondered for a moment, and asked everyone:

"What's everyone's intention?"

Everyone at the scene, except Sylph, had experienced all kinds of miracles brought by Xu Yun, and psychologically they had no brains to believe Xu Yun's signs.

In addition, there was basically no difference between 1866 and 1865, so everyone at the scene quickly made choices:

"I have no opinion."

"I agree."

"Seconded."

"Ah yes yes yes!"

After determining the time and place of the reunion.

Xu Yun turned his gaze slightly, and glanced at Riemann beside him.

As a person with a great sense of ritual, when he has the initiative, he personally still likes to make troubles at some special time points.

Looking at the crowd at the scene.

In the next two decades, the most representative point in time is undoubtedly July 20, 1866.

There is no other reason.

because this is

In the original history, the day when Riemann died of illness.

That's right.

The man who created Riemannian geometry and left seven millennium problems died at the age of forty.

To know.

Even the unlucky Mai Mai lived for 48 years in his life.

Therefore, there is such a saying in later generations:

If Riemann hadn't died young, his status might truly be comparable to that of Gauss.

There are not many people who can apply similar templates in the history of mathematics, such as Abel, Galois, Ramanujan and so on.

But the most convincing and most applicable to this sentence is undoubtedly Riemann.

Of course.

Now that Xu Yun has traveled to this timeline, and has had an intersection with Riemann, it is naturally impossible to sit back and watch this mathematician die young.

Riemann's cause of death was tuberculosis, a congenital lung disease and further infection that occurred later.

In the case of making a "deal" with Liszt.

Xu Yun didn't say that he could extend Rieman's life by 40 or 50 years, at least it would not be difficult to ensure that he could live to 50 years old.

Under ideal conditions, it may even live longer.

So naturally.

Riemann's original death time can be successfully used as a party day.

This is the sense of ceremony.

In fact, at the beginning, Xu Yun's idea was to choose the date of Xiaomai's death.

But that would have to wait until 1879, which is now 29 years later, obviously not suitable for the first meeting.

So in desperation.

Xu Yun had no choice but to choose such a "good day" as July 20, 1866.

Anyway, the mood of the deceased is very stable at present.

But thinking about it, Xu Yun's eyes darkened again, and he sighed slightly:

such a pity.

I will definitely miss that reunion

I don't know what will happen to everyone at that time?

What will be the situation in the east at that time?

Then Xu Yun shook his head and brought his thoughts back to reality.

all in all.

With such a future event booked, there was only one thing left at the dinner party:

That is to eat!

The ingredients prepared by Laotang this time are very fresh, without any sign of spoilage.

For example, Mouse Ban was still alive and kicking before Xu Yun stabbed him.

Chicken giblets and such are not bad either.

Even more so in the pig's large intestine. Ahem, I won't talk about this.

In short, Xiaomai was very happy after washing the intestines, and even cried twice with joy, one of which subconsciously wiped the tears with the hand that was washing the intestines

In addition to Xu Yun, a half-life cook who stayed in the UK for a year later, a Chinese meal with a reduction degree of about 56.75215% appeared in Cambridge University in 1850.

Mai Mai and the others, who had never eaten such delicacies, were eye-openers. They were all like Grandma Liu who strayed into the Baihutang and pulled up the weeping willows. They were curious and at the same time crazily grabbed the dishes.

In the end, even Avelyn rolled up her sleeves and kept picking up fish fillets from the bottom of the pot.

An hour and a half later.

All that was left on the table were leftovers.

at the same time.

A firework suddenly shot up from the ground outside the window, turning into colorful light rain in the night sky.

In the cathedrals of Trinity College on the ground, the finale of the second part of "Messiah" by Georg Friedrich Handel also sounded.

This song can be regarded as a classic song. If you only listen to the introduction of the above works, you may not be familiar with it.

But if the description is changed to "the song "Hallelujah" similar to "Love Me China", there must be not many people who don't know this song

Of course.

Strictly speaking.

"Love My China" did not copy the song "Hallelujah", because the melodies of the two are written differently.

One is 1565 and the other is 3121.

But because the intervals are similar, it sounds like it.

As for whether the former refers to the latter in the process of composing, it is hard to say, only the creator himself knows.

This is actually the reason why it is difficult to define the so-called "plagiarism" in the music industry-you don't know whether his subjective intention is a coincidence or deliberate.

Then everyone went to the window together to watch the flying fireworks.

Xu Yun doesn't feel much about Christmas itself, but watching fireworks with friends on a snowy night in winter is somewhat heartwarming.

Well, it would be better if those guys under the window didn't keep throwing.

The fireworks lasted for half an hour.

Then everyone packed up the tableware together, and they parted.

Nothing to say all night.

well known.

Christmas is equivalent to the Spring Festival in Europe, and its status is extremely important, even higher than Easter.

Therefore, around Christmas, major universities in Europe usually choose to have a holiday.

Also known as the Christmas holiday.

The Christmas holiday in Cambridge generally lasts for about 40 days, starting from the beginning of December and ending around January 20.

However, now that the United Kingdom is preparing to launch military expansion abroad, there is an urgent need for talent supply in all aspects, and even Cambridge University has expanded its enrollment.

Therefore, this year's Christmas holiday not only postponed the start time, but also shortened the overall period of the holiday.

Xu Yun and the others started their vacation four days ago, and will officially resume their studies on January 8th.

All in all, it's only less than twenty days.

But that's okay.

No matter how short the holiday is, at least on the first day after Christmas, you can still get a good night's sleep!

Early the next morning.

The sky is but dim.

Xu Yun was still dreaming some unspeakable dreams in the bed, when he was dragged out of the bed.

at the same time.

A somewhat aged but full of spirit sounded in his ear:

"Student Luo Feng, can you still sleep at this age at your age? Why don't you get up soon?"

Xu Yun swayed his body twice, rubbed his eyes in confusion, and saw the face of the visitor clearly with his eyes:

Michael Faraday.

Then he turned his head in a daze again, and glanced at the clock on the wall:

Five forty in the morning.

Xu Yun:

"."

He really wanted to pat the current first person in physics on the shoulder, and say hello, my readers in my previous life didn't push people like this.

However, Faraday can be regarded as one of his ancestors, so from the perspective of respecting the old and caring for the young, Xu Yun finally held back the thoughts in his heart.

He pulled himself together, rubbed his hands together, let out a sigh of relief between his clasped palms, and asked Faraday:

"Mr. Faraday, did you come to the door early this morning for something?"

Faraday nodded at him, and took out something from a small suitcase in his hand.

Then he put it in his palm, handed it to Xu Yun, and said:

"Look at this."

Xu Yun followed the trend.

After a little astonishment, he quickly recognized the identity of this thing:

"This is Xiao Yan's management?"

Faraday carefully held the side of the test tube, nodded at the same time, and replied:

"That's right, this is the Xiao Yan tube made according to your structure diagram."

It can be seen from Xu Yun's perspective.

The test tube in Faraday's palm has undergone complex modifications. The tube body is thicker at the front and narrower at the back, and a black area is connected to the tail.

Other than that.

There are also several wire connections around, and it seems that the external coil can be connected at any time.

That's right!

The test tube in Faraday's hand was the Gessler tube drawn by Xu Yun that day.

But now the designer of this test tube has been replaced by the mysterious fat fish, and Xu Yun replaced it with an oriental name:

Xiao Yan is in charge.

As for why this name is used?

the reason is simple:

The so-called vacuum tube, to put it bluntly, is to pump or suck out the air in the test tube, and then form a vacuum for experiments.

As far as the conventional means in 1850 were concerned, ordinary test tubes could only reach a vacuum of six thousandths of an atmosphere.

The modified version of the Gessler tube can be pumped down to only one hundred thousandth of the atmospheric pressure.

From the point of view of the degree of exhaustion, he can undoubtedly be regarded as Xiao Yan in charge.

Reasonable, no problem.

The line of sight is returning to reality.

Seeing the test tube in Faraday's hands now, Xu Yun quickly understood his intention of visiting:

"Mr. Faraday, are you ready to restart the research on glow discharge?"

Faraday took a deep breath, nodded, and a flash of fighting intent flashed in his eyes:

"That's right, Edward and I have made full preparations this time, and with the support of Cambridge University, we must make up for this regret no matter what."

glow discharge.

That is, the phenomenon of gas discharge that shows glow in low-pressure gas.

previously introduced.

Faraday actually discovered this phenomenon as early as 1838.

At the same time, he also found that the purple cathodic glow and the pink anodic glow will separate from each other, forming a dark zone in the middle area.

However, the conditions at that time were limited, and he could only extract a test tube environment with a vacuum of 6%, so he could not conduct in-depth research.

Therefore, Faraday could only name this area "Faraday's Dark Area" and put it aside.

In fact, in Faraday's subconscious.

He knew that this dark area would definitely involve some unknown territory—because this phenomenon itself cannot be explained by conventional theories.

If it cannot be explained, it will naturally be about the unknown.

It's just that Faraday encountered too many unknown mysteries at that time, so he gradually forgot this phenomenon to the back of his mind.

But what he didn't expect was.

The truth hidden behind this phenomenon is actually linked to the macroscopic origin of the world!

In fact, Faraday has been a little scared these days, and has had several nightmares.

Because for a scientist, missing this event will be a lifelong regret, even a shame.

luckily

He met Xu Yun.

He first learned about the phenomenon observed by Fat Yu from Xu Yun, and then got the design drawing of 'Xiao Yanguan'.

At the same time, I also learned that due to various reasons, Fat Yu didn't have time to study deeply after designing the 'Xiao Yan Guan'.

So that day after parting with Xu Yun.

He immediately took Weber to find William Whewell, and began to prepare materials for related experiments.

After 12 years, he must explore the essence of the glow phenomenon this time!

In fact, what Xu Yun didn't know was.

Faraday got the finished tools including the 'Xiao Yan Tube' as early as yesterday morning, theoretically, he can start experimenting in the afternoon.

But the festival of Christmas is still too special after all-it is not only the Spring Festival in Europe, but also has a strong religious color.

Both Faraday and Weber were believers, or in 1850, there were not many non-believers in Europe.

Therefore, in any case, they dare not presume to presume on the day of Christmas.

Christmas is over today.

He rushed to Xu Yun's dormitory early and dragged Xu Yun out of his dream.

There are really not many people who can be invited by Faraday these days, and no one dares. Or is qualified to refuse him.

From a certain point of view, it's like God calling you to heaven to play chess.

Therefore, Xu Yun could only sigh in resignation to Faraday, who had a domineering CEO expression on his face.

At six o'clock on the second day after Christmas, he got up from the bed and obediently followed Faraday to the laboratory.

In Xu Yun's later life, the most famous official laboratory of Cambridge University is undoubtedly the Cavendish Laboratory.

It is also the first comprehensive laboratory established after the establishment of natural sciences throughout Europe.

However, the Cavendish Laboratory had not yet been established in 1850, and even its first director, Wheat, was still studying as an undergraduate.

Therefore, the place where Faraday experimented was naturally not west of Cambridge, but an ancient building in the north of Cambridge:

loken floor.

Adjacent to the offices of Professor Lucas of Cambridge University, the building is only one storey high.

It is also the oldest and most well-equipped laboratory at the University of Cambridge before the establishment of the Cavendish Laboratory.

Historically, Mavericks has completed the expression of the law of cooling here, and also studied the problem of the speed of sound.

It is said that the final draft of "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" was also finalized here.

Now in 1850, the loken building also added dust removal equipment similar to the air shower—although this thing may look a little hip in later generations, but at present, this node can already be regarded as a top-notch dust removal method.

Then Xu Yun, led by Faraday, walked through the air shower and came to a room on the right side of the first floor.

The floor area of ​​this room is about 300 square meters, and it looks quite open.

There are microscopes, various ammeters and voltmeters, generators, magnetic induction coils and so on.

Xu Yun also saw a large bundle of cables about the thickness of a thumb in a corner, and he didn't know what it was for.

In addition to these devices.

At this time, Weber, Weber's assistant Kirchhoff, Gauss, Riemann and others were still standing in the room.

Among them, Kirchhoff, Riemann, and Xu Yun were all holding their eyelids and yawning.

Yes, unlucky +2.

Then Faraday brought Xu Yun to Weber and Gauss, and greeted them familiarly.

Then he looked at Kirchhoff again and asked:

"Gustav, have all the equipment been adjusted?"

When Xu Yun met Faraday before, Weber gave Kirchhoff to his good friend. Now that a month has passed, Kirchhoff has successfully obtained an assistant staff.

After hearing Faraday's words, he pointed to the right side of the room and said in still dry English:

"Professor Faraday, all the equipment you need has been debugged."

Faraday and Xu Yun followed the trend.

as expected.

In the direction Kirchhoff pointed, a set of equipment has been set up at this time:

The bracket for the equipment was a table about four meters long and one meter five wide, on which was placed a erected 'Xiao Yan Guan'.

The inside of the Xiaoyan tube is filled with mercury, and the outside is connected with several turns of the Rumkov coil, and there are other tools such as an optical circuit board.

This is a standard set of glow experiment equipment, which can be easily assembled by any school or even a vocational high school in later generations.

But in 1850.

This is the only high-precision experimental module in Europe, and it is also the

The way to go deep into a certain field and touch the truth of the world.
