Chapter 250 'The number of chapters is a bit subtle, so the author doesn't want to name those things
That's right.
It must be Prem!
In just a few seconds.
William Whewell identified the man behind the scenes and made a rough guess about the context of the incident.
Plum.
This person was the little old man that Xu Yung met outside Whewell's office with Mai and Thomson when he first arrived at Cambridge University.
At that time, he and Whewell had a violent quarrel, and he also threw Wheat's ax at Whewell's door.
As for the cause of the quarrel, it was naturally a matter of organization.
It had been more than thirty years since Prem had joined Cambridge University, but it was not until Cambridge University established an honorary degree in moral science in 1848, that is, the degree with Tennyson as the chief as mentioned before, that political economy officially had a name.
status.
However, due to a conflict of ideas, Whewell believed that Prime was not qualified for this job and Cambridge University should dismiss him.
Because of this, there was the debate that day.
Actually.
Before the entrance ceremony began, Whewell had always had doubts in his mind:
Why didn't Prem say anything about his actions?
This is obviously not in line with the other party's character.
To know.
Whewell not only removed Prem from Trinity University's course list this time, he even persuaded several other theological school deans to hand over all the political economics courses of the four theological schools to Mai.
Enter Carlock.
This is like two teachers of the same subject in later generations. One teaches a key class with excellent results, but the other can only show his face in an ordinary class.
It just so happens that this teacher is the oldest teacher in the school, and the first batch of students he taught almost have grandchildren.
This way.
Where do you want him to put his face?
Therefore, Whewell had been prepared for the protest and appeal of the Prem Association very early on, and even prepared backup plans for the school directors.
But after the course schedule was announced, Plum made no comment.
It was as if the whole thing had nothing to do with him.
The result was unexpected
This old Yin coin actually shot such a cold arrow when Xu Yun came on stage?
Strictly speaking, William Whewell's original approach was certainly not rigorous and contained some flaws.
But the problem is that no matter whether this kind of thing is rigorous or not, no one will take it seriously, right?
Any normal person understands that compared to confirming Xu Yun's identity, the original trace of Mavericks is the most important thing.
But on the other hand.
When this issue is singled out and magnified in the current situation, it can become a sharp weapon for criticism!
Now with the expansion of the British territory, Prince Albert may soon retire from the position of principal.
As Dean of Trinity College, Whewell is one of the candidates with the best chance to succeed Prince Albert as Chancellor of Cambridge University.
Once he is labeled as "eager for quick success", this will undoubtedly serve as a knife to his opponents in the political struggle!
Think of this.
Thick beads of sweat suddenly appeared on William Whewell's face on the stage.
what to do?
It would be okay if Prince Albert and Faraday weren't there.
He might still be able to use his status as principal to act like a rogue and end things by force, but now there are so many big bosses present.
Something is going to happen!
And just when William Whewell was racking his brains but not knowing how to respond, he suddenly heard a faint chuckle in his ears.
Then, before he could confirm whether the chuckle was real, a voice suddenly sounded beside him:
"Isn't this what Senior Angus Roman is called?"
William Whewell turned his head and found that Xu Yun was looking at Angus Roman with a smile and said:
"Senior Roman, what you said does sound reasonable, so no problem. How do you want to verify my identity?"
"Luo Feng you"
Whewell opened his mouth subconsciously, trying to stop his behavior, but found that he didn't know how to speak.
It's easy to shut up Xu Yun, but what happens next?
Without an accurate result, the current situation cannot be alleviated.
But Xu Yun’s true identity
be honest.
Even Whewell himself doesn't quite believe that the other party is the descendant of Fat Fish.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have used that bill to bury Xu Yun in the first place.
After all, for such a capable person, even if the second or third generation came to have a relationship with the Mavericks or the British royal family, they would not be so depressed that they could not even produce a certificate of completion for an elementary school diploma, which is the benchmark for future generations of junior high school diplomas.
Think of this.
William Whewell couldn't help but sigh.
Whatever.
At this point, I have no other choice but to see if this so-called fat fish descendant can develop a tacit understanding with me.
If he knew how to be a good person and chose to bite the bullet and refuse to deny it, humiliation would be inevitable, but he would be able to save his own face, and he would surely be repaid later.
Just as Whewell's thoughts were stirring, Angus Roman in the audience suddenly became happy and said loudly:
"Mr. Luo Feng, since you are a descendant of Mr. Fat Fish, there must be a biography left by Mr. Fat Fish in your family, right?"
"Let me tell you another piece of news. Two days ago, the Royal Society secretly unlocked a batch of letters written by Lord Sir Alex that had been sealed for a long time."
"Some letters record some past events between Sir Newton and Mr. Fat Fish. Very few people know about it, but our Newton Research Society does not include them."
"So I want to ask you a few questions first. If you can answer them, you will be considered to have passed the test. Otherwise,"
Hear this.
William Whewell on the podium shrank again, his heart skipped a beat, and an extremely absurd emotion emerged in his heart.
How can this be?
The Royal Society just unblocked Newton's archives, but as Newton's alma mater, Trinity College didn't receive any notification?
If this was for high confidentiality, then why would someone go beyond Trinity College and tell the student organizations on campus the news?
Is the priority of a student organization still ahead of Cambridge University?
etc.
William Whewell suddenly thought of something, and the face of a middle-aged man appeared in his mind.
If I remember correctly.
The current director of the Royal Society Archives is Michael Ryan Wheeler, a graduate of Cambridge University.
Michael Lane Weller came from a poor family and relied on scholarships for poor students to continue his studies, and his scholarship recommender was
"Oh my god, Prem!"
Of course.
Xu Yun on the side didn't know all the details, let alone the curse in Whewell's heart.
After Angus Roman spoke out earlier, he realized that this was an excellent opportunity to improve his mission score.
In 1850, the scientific community did not even understand the structure of DNA, let alone the relevant detection methods.
Therefore, if Angus Roman wanted to 'verify' his identity, he could only start by asking verbally.
Others may have doubts about his identity and the past of the so-called calf and fat fish, but doesn’t he know it yet?
That's right.
He is indeed not the descendant of a fat fish, because he is a fat fish.
Think of this.
The smile on Xu Yun's face couldn't help but become brighter.
I saw him looking at Angus Roman. At this time, he didn't know that this was Prem's plan. He simply thought that the other person was an iron-headed man with a cramp in his head, and said:
"Yes, there are indeed biographies left by some Fat Fish ancestors in my family, which describe the deep friendship between him and Sir Newton that was like a life-and-death friendship."
"So, Senior Luo Man, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask. I will tell you everything I know."
Under the ceremonial stage.
Angus Roman's eyes also changed when he looked at Xu Yun, as if he was looking at a fool.
Before today's ceremony, he had discussed possible situations at the scene with Plum many times.
We even made targeted arrangements for Xu Yun's possible excuses such as "loss of biography" and "tremendous changes in the family."
In the end, this guy actually admitted it directly?
To know.
What the Royal Society has unsealed this time is some top secrets that have never been made public, and even involve some of Sir Isaac Newton's dark history.
A person who doesn’t understand can’t make it up even if he is asked to make it up?
This is really asking for shit by taking a bath in an English bathhouse.
Then Angus Roman took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and said to Xu Yun:
"So, classmate Luo Feng, let's stop chatting and start now, shall we?"
Xu Yun nodded:
"please."
Angus Roman organized some words, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and asked:
"The first question is, when Mr. Fat Fish first met Sir Newton, what happened between them?"
"Pfft"
Hearing Angus Roman's words, Xiaomai, who was sitting in his seat, suddenly couldn't help laughing and said to Aveline next to him:
"Senior Aveline, isn't that Senior Roman really assigned to help Mr. Luo Feng?"
"The first chapter of the lv2 first semester textbook is about the meeting between Mr. Fat Fish and Mr. Newton. Who doesn't know those things?"
Then Xiaomai said leisurely as if he was reciting from a textbook:
"It was a sunny afternoon when Sir Isaac Newton was wandering in the countryside of Woolsthorpe and met Mr. Fat Fish, who had been separated from his relatives, under an apple tree."
"The two chatted happily and hit it off immediately. The hospitable Sir Isaac Newton invited Mr. Fat Fish to stay at his home temporarily."
"Later, in order to commemorate the friendship between the two, Mr. Fat Fish gave his pair of shoes to Sir Newton. Sir Newton first refused in every possible way, claiming that helping others should not expect anything in return."
"It's just that Mr. Fat Fish couldn't refuse the kindness, so Sir Newton reluctantly accepted the gift."
Many students at the scene also had similar discussions, and they were a little confused by what Angus Roman said.
Among the people discussing this, Aveline and Prince Albert's expressions were completely different from others.
A descendant who is now closest to Mavericks, an uncrowned king of Great Britain, the amount of information they possess is far beyond anyone's reach.
They naturally know certain historical truths.
More than ten seconds later.
The discussion at the scene gradually disappeared.
Xu Yun glanced at Angus Roman who was staring closely at him, pondered for a moment, and said slowly:
"According to family records, when our ancestor Fat Fish met Sir Newton, he was conquered by the power of knowledge in the Bible and suffered a brief fainting. Are you right, Senior Roman?"
Angus Roman was stunned when he heard this, and immediately his body swayed and his breathing stopped for several breaths, as if he had been struck by lightning.
On the seat.
Aveline was also slightly in a trance, with an inexplicable look flashing in her eyes.
The originally stiff and unwavering facial lines have become noticeably softer.
Albert was also briefly stunned. After coming back to his senses, a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
"Luo Feng?"
Of course.
Faced with Xu Yun's endless words.
In addition to the above three people.
Including Whewell, a question mark visible to the naked eye appeared on the faces of everyone else present:
"?"
Why do I understand every English word, but when I put it together, it doesn’t sound like human speech?
Xu Yun ignored the reactions of the other students, stared at Angus Roman closely, and asked:
"Senior Roman, am I right?"
Guru
Angus Roman swallowed, and after a few seconds, he said dryly:
"right."
Wow
Hearing this yes, the ceremony site erupted into a burst of noise again, and the noise was even louder than when Xu Yun answered.
Angus Roman stood in the center, facing greater pressure than Xu Yun, not knowing how to speak.
Xu Yun's answer was too clever. It not only accurately told the truth, but also did not smear the image of Mavericks as a saint.
And if I give a supplementary explanation, I'm afraid I will be resented by many Mavericks fans.
Seeing Angus Roman's dull expression, several students sitting near him couldn't help it and asked loudly:
"Senior Luo Man, please give us an accurate explanation!"
"Senior Roman, please tell me that British people will not lie to British people!"
"Senior Roman, are you really not here to clean up the floor for this Oriental?"
"The Riddler, get out of here!"
Just when the situation seemed to be getting out of control, a powerful voice suddenly sounded from the first row of seats:
"quiet!"
Everyone looked at it subconsciously.
Prince Albert was seen standing up from his seat at this time, looking around the ceremony with sharp eyes:
"Dear students, Mr. Luo Feng's answer is completely correct. He just made part of the process more artistic."
"The specific contents of the unblocking will be announced to members of the Royal Society within a month. If you want to know more truth, try to become a member of the Royal Society."
"Okay, Mr. Roman, do you have any more questions?"
The uncrowned king of the British peninsula is now at the peak of his power. With just a few words after speaking, he completely suppressed the situation that was originally a bit out of control.
Wait until he finishes speaking.
The scene can already be heard.
Most of the students looked at Xu Yun no longer with doubts, but with strong curiosity.
Of course.
The doubts that subsided here mainly refer to the speculation about the acting between Angus Roman and Xu Yun, but it does not completely eliminate the doubts about Xu Yun's identity.
After all, Xu Yun has only answered one question, and it is impossible to silence everyone.
If you want to prove your identity, this answer is far from enough.
At the same time, with Prince Albert's last words, the pressure came to Angus Roman again.
A pile of fine beads of sweat was visible to the naked eye on the forehead of the president of the Newtonian Society of Cambridge University.
In fact, what Xu Yun didn't know was.
Follow the normal plan.
The first question raised by Angus Roman should be about some of the things Xu Yun did in selling ketchup.
But before he spoke, Angus Roman suddenly came up with the idea and wanted to kill with one hit, so he brought out the killer weapon in the finale.
In other words
Anyone who can answer the first question will definitely know the answers to other secret questions.
But if we just give up like this, it will be difficult for Mr. Plum to explain that William Whewell is a big **:
The dean of Trinity College's eyes were almost on fire at this moment, and there was no way he would let him go just because he stopped.
But what problem is more difficult than the killer solution?
While thinking hard.
Angus Roman suddenly caught a glimpse of Faraday in the first row from the corner of his eye, and a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in his heart.
correct!
Professional knowledge!
Angus Roman's brain, which passed the fourth grade exam, began to spin rapidly in an instant.
As the president of the Newton Research Society, Angus Roman, not to mention his reputation as a person, is indeed one of the best in his knowledge of Mavericks.
In just a few seconds, Maverick's life story flashed through his mind.
soon.
A word appeared in his mind:
Light!
Yes, it is light!
He took a deep breath, suddenly raised his head, and said to Xu Yun:
"Mr. Luo Feng, you should know that Sir Newton once proposed two characteristics of light, that is, the conjecture that particle nature and wave nature exist simultaneously."
"The basis for supporting particle nature is the phenomenon of dispersion, and the basis for supporting wave nature is the discovery of Newton's spot."
Then Angus Roman changed the subject, looked around, and continued:
"But everyone knows that the feedback of the dispersion phenomenon is actually more about the wave nature of light. Sir Newton once used the expression of high-speed particle flow to explain the straight-forward phenomenon. However, after receiving the letter from Mr. Fat Fish, this statement
So he abandoned it."
heard these words.
Many people at the scene nodded in unison.
Mentioned it a long time ago.
In the original history, Mavericks once proposed half a wrong theory.
One of them refers to the view of absolute space and time.
Half is the particle nature of light.
As we all know, Maverick in the original trajectory is a very stubborn person.
He discovered Newton's rings while grinding, and discovered the dispersion of light under a prism.
These two gadgets were typical examples of the wave theory in later generations, but Mavericks found an explanation for them with the particle theory:
He first explained light as a flow of high-speed particles, thereby making the straight-forward phenomenon reasonable.
Then another guess was put forward:
When the particles that make up light pass through the interface, they enter a special temporary state.
It is restored at equal intervals during the propagation process, and it is easier to pass through the next interface during the restoration, and it is easier to be reflected between the two restorations.
Very mysterious, right?
The particles recover periodically. When they recover, they pass through, and when they do not recover, they reflect.
This can indeed explain the phenomenon of Newton's rings, but this explanation has made the particle theory too similar to the wave theory.
According to the understanding of wave theory.
This equal interval is the wavelength. In-phase interference means it is easy to pass through, and anti-phase interference means it is easy to reflect.
Therefore, whether it is Newton's ring or dispersion phenomenon in later generations.
Basically, they are all explained from the wave theory.
But in this time and space.
Under the influence of Xu Yun, Xiao Niu is relatively humble and does not have the arrogance that "I'm the theory is the truth".
Therefore, after receiving Xu Yun's letter, he gradually admitted that some of his explanations were far-fetched.
Ever since.
In the scientific community of this copy, a situation like this has occurred:
Xiao Niu proposed the wave-particle duality theory of light, in which there are very few wave theory phenomena, but all of them are very convincing.
On the contrary, there are many phenomena that can serve as evidence for the particle theory, but there are not enough examples to serve as the fulcrum of the theory.
"And Mr. Luo Feng, as a descendant of Fat Fish, you must be able to prove the particulate nature of light, right?"
At the ceremony, Angus Roman stood on his seat and said word by word:
"After all, Sir Isaac Newton once wrote a passage in his memoirs in his later years, which is as widely spread as any in Europe."
"That sentence is so concise that I can even recite it backwards."
"! The dogs are killed all over the world. When the hand is on the knife, there is always one, half of them are left and half of them are said to be missing. It is proved by the method that there is a certain amount of fish fat in the hand."
