Chapter 293: Glow research restarted after 12 years!
be honest.
Ever since the two parties met.
Xu Yun's feelings for the girl Aveline are actually quite complicated.
Of course.
The complexity here does not refer to the relationship between men and women, but is reflected in other aspects.
The first thing is
In the original history, she did not exist at all.
That's right.
does not exist.
Because Leilani did not leave any descendants - not even in real history.
In the deduction, Lilani died in a shipwreck on his way to the Netherlands in search of Xu Yun. He was less than 20 years old before his death.
In real history, Leilani grew up to become a nun and died of liver cancer at the age of 44.
Therefore, there is no such person as Aveline Escu in real history, and her appearance can be said to be inextricably related to Xu Yun.
It can be said that it was precisely because of the letter Xu Yun sent that Aveline appeared.
Coupled with the regret for Leilani during the deduction, the joy of knowing that the calf actually has living offspring.
And the accident after Aveline exposed the b-b of photovoltaics.
Various factors were mixed together, which ultimately led to Xu Yun's feelings for Aveline being somewhat subtle.
Unexpectedly, at today's Christmas dinner, Aveline actually wrote down her wish to go to the East.
This makes the whole situation more subtle and complicated.
Of course.
As a talented engineering student, Xu Yun would naturally not be so narcissistic as to think that Aveline wrote this sentence because she liked him.
In reality, there may be those kind of humanoid self-propelled hormones, and a smile can arouse the goodwill of others.
But the name of this kind of person may be called Reader, or he may be called Alliance Leader, but he can never be named Xu Yun.
If what he expected was good.
The reason why Aveline wanted to go to the East was probably to fulfill the long-cherished wish of Leilani and Mavericks.
After all, the name Dongfang or Feiyu can be said to have changed the fate of the entire Escu family.
At that time, 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 ‘hjan’, it belongs to the category of minutiae. Have you ever seen how many people call it “unshun” even in 2022?
Aveline didn't add the word "braised" in front of it. To be honest, it was already worthy of Xu Yun.
Xu Yun then put away his notebook and was about to say something to finish.
However, before the words were spoken, Aveline heard from the side and 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?"
Aveline nodded, cast a natural look at him, and said
"Isn't this what you said? Everyone at the scene must write down their expectations."
"Now that we have finished writing, only you and Sylph are left."
"Sylph is still young and has no idea about life plans and dreams. In addition, she is not very literate, so she doesn't need to write."
"But your mother"
As Aveline said these words, Xiaomai on the side also immediately started cheering.
"Yes, Mr. Luo Feng, these are the rules you set. You can't pretend to be stupid. Those who pretend to be stupid will get an axe."
Opposite him, Lao Tang said nothing.
His shoulders sank, he took out an ax from under the chair, and silently placed it on the table.
Xu Yun
""
Is this considered digging a hole for someone else, only to dig it for yourself?
A few seconds passed.
Looking at the people around him who were watching eagerly, Xu Yun sighed as if he was resigned to his fate.
He returned to his seat with his head drooped, picked up a pen and paper and started writing.
But as soon as he started writing, he paused again.
What content should I write?
Right now, let alone ten or twenty years, he only has about ten months left in the dungeon.
In other words, on the day they agreed to reunite, Xu Yun had already returned to reality and would definitely not be able to make it to the scene.
In addition, I am a descendant of later generations, and in this current era, I actually have no expectations.
But if we write about future generations, let alone whether Xiaomai and the others will be able to understand it in the future, this approach itself is a bit shoddy.
Think of this.
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Xu Yun's heart, he lowered his head and started writing in his notebook.
About ten minutes passed.
He put down his pen, held his notebook and came to Lao Tang and said
"Mr. Thomson, since I am the initiator of this 'game', there should be no 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. I will wait until we can open it together at the future gathering. Is that okay?"
"I can guarantee that it will be much more interesting if everyone watches it together during the reunion than it is now."
When Lao Tang heard this, he was stunned.
Good guy.
Can you still play like this?
He subconsciously wanted to refute, but before he could say "How about that?" he thought of something else.
This is the first request Xu Yun has made of himself since he got to know him.
And before that.
But she already owed him a large sum of favors, plus a life.
Think of this.
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 expression not changing much.
Lao Tang's reaction was what he expected, and he wasn't worried about Lao Tang or others peeking.
The characters present at the scene are all very good, and they can basically kill a group of Mavericks instantly without doing such dirty things as peeking.
Secondly
What he left behind was not words, but something else.
Even if someone peeks 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.
Now that things have reached this point, there is only one remaining link
Make an appointment for the next meeting.
Hubert Airy has a relatively outgoing personality, so he was the first to raise his hand and announce a certain time.
"What do you think of Christmas ten years from now? Round numbers are easy to remember."
"Ten years from now?"
Lao Tang tapped his fingers on the table a few times, looked at each other with Riemann and others, and they all shook their heads.
"In ten years, half of us will be under 30 years old, and only Kirchhoff and I will be over 35 years old. The time to achieve the goal is still a bit short."
Then Aveline thought for a while and reported a number.
"What about fifteen years from now?"
fifteen years.
Besides Sylph, the youngest person present is Tian Haosuo, who is 18 years old this year.
Next is Wheat, who is 19 years old this year.
Fifteen years later, one of them was 33, one was 34, and the others were approaching forty.
Except for the difficulty of being the president of the Royal Society in Laotang, other plans should theoretically be completed.
So soon, everyone had a clear idea in their hearts.
However, before they had time to express their opinions, a voice suddenly emerged from the side.
"In that case, how about setting it on July 20, 1866?"
Everyone looked around.
As expected, the person who spoke out was none other than Xu Yun.
"July 20, 1866?"
Lao Tang repeated the time and said to Xu Yunde curiously
"Luo Feng, why is it set at such a time? It seems hard to remember, right?"
Xu Yun calmly glanced at Riemann beside him, thought for a moment, and said with a smile.
"Mr. Thomson, I'm afraid you don't know something."
"According to Eastern astronomical calculations, 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 bring 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 and felt an inexplicable feeling.
It's like there's a ghost with a long tongue licking the back of the neck.
"Auspicious day?"
However, Lao Tang did not notice Riemann's abnormality. Instead, he 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 there were already some signs of believing in Xu Yun psychologically.
In addition, there is basically no difference between years, so everyone at the scene quickly made their choices one after another.
"I have no opinion."
"I agree."
"Seconded."
"Ah, yes, yes!"
After the time and place of the reunion are determined.
Xu Yun turned his gaze slightly and glanced at Riemann beside him.
As a person with a strong sense of ritual, he personally likes to do things at special times when he has the initiative.
Take a look at the crowd at the scene.
In the next twenty years or so, the most representative point in time was undoubtedly July 20, 1866.
There is no other reason.
because this is
In the original history, Riemann died of illness.
That's right.
The man who created Riemannian geometry and left behind seven millennium problems died at the age of only forty.
To know.
Even wheat, the unlucky guy, lived for 48 years.
Therefore, there is a saying in later generations
If Riemann had not died young, his status might truly be comparable to that of Gauss.
There are many people in the history of mathematics who can apply similar templates, such as Abel, Gavarro, Ramanujan, etc.
But the one who is most persuasive and most applicable to this sentence is undoubtedly Riemann.
Of course.
Now that Xu Yun has traveled to this timeline and interacted with Riemann, it is naturally impossible to sit back and watch this mathematical giant die young.
Riemann's cause of death was tuberculosis, which included congenital lung disease and further infections that occurred later.
After making a "deal" with Liszt.
Xu Yun didn't say that he could help Riemann extend his life for forty or fifty years. At least it was not difficult to ensure that he could live to fifty years old.
If conditions are ideal, you may even live longer.
So it's natural.
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 wheat's death.
But that would have to wait until 1879, which is 29 years later, which is obviously not suitable for the first gathering.
So in desperation.
Xu Yun could only choose a "good day" like July 20, 1866.
Anyway, the deceased's mood is very stable now.
But after thinking about it, Xu Yun's eyes dimmed again and he sighed slightly.
such a pity.
I will inevitably miss that reunion.
I don’t know what kind of situation everyone will be in at that time.
What will be the various situations in the East at that time?
Xu Yun then shook his head and returned his thoughts to reality.
all in all.
After booking such a future event, there was only one thing left at the dinner party
That’s eating!
The ingredients Laotang asked someone to prepare this time were very fresh, without any signs of spoilage.
For example, Mouse Spot was still alive and kicking before Xu Yun took the knife.
Chicken offal and other items are not bad either.
The pig intestines are even more aggravating, so I won’t talk about that.
All in all, Xiaomai was so happy when she was washing her intestines. She even cried twice with joy, and once she even subconsciously wiped her tears with the hand she was washing her intestines with.
Together with Xu Yun, a cook who spent half his life in England for a year, a Chinese meal with about 5 degrees of restoration appeared at Cambridge University in 1850.
Having never tasted such delicacies before, Xiaomai and others were eye-opening. They were all like Grandma Liu who mistakenly entered the White Tiger Hall and uprooted a weeping willow tree. They were curious and frantically grabbed the food.
In the end, even Aveline rolled up her sleeves and kept scooping up fish fillets from the bottom of the pot.
An hour and a half later.
There were only leftovers on the table.
at the same time.
A firework suddenly shot up from the ground outside the window, turning into a colorful rain of light in the night sky.
In the cathedrals of Trinity College on the ground, the finale of the second part of "Messiah" written by George Friedrich Handel also sounded.
This song can be considered a classic. If you just listen to the introduction of the work above, you may not be familiar with it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But if the description is changed to "Hallelujah" which is similar to "Love Me China", there will probably not be many people who don't know this song.
Of course.
Strictly speaking.
"Love Me China" does not plagiarize 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, they sound similar.
As for whether the former referred to the latter during the composition process, it's 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 walked to the window and watched the fireworks.
Xu Yun didn't feel much about the holiday itself, but watching the fireworks with his friends on a snowy winter night felt somewhat warm in his soul.
Well, it would be better if those guys under the window stopped dumping me.
The fireworks lasted for half an hour.
Then everyone put away the tableware together and parted ways.
A night of silence.
As we all know.
Christmas in Europe is equivalent to the local Spring Festival, and its status is extremely important, even higher than Easter.
Therefore, during the period around Christmas, major universities in Europe usually choose to have a holiday.
It is also commonly known as the Christmas holiday.
The Christmas holiday in Cambridge generally lasts about forty days, starting from the beginning of December and lasting until around January 20th.
However, now that Britain is preparing to launch military expansion abroad, it is in urgent need of talent supply in all aspects. 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 told, it only lasts 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 have a good sleep!
Early the next morning.
The sky is only bright.
Xu Yun was still dreaming about some unspeakable dreams in bed, when someone pulled him out of the bed.
at the same time.
An older but powerful voice boomed in his ears.
"Classmate Luo Feng, at your age and at this time, can you still sleep? Why don't you get up quickly?"
Xu Yun swayed twice, rubbed his eyes in confusion, and saw the face of the person coming clearly.
Michael Faraday.
Then he turned his head vaguely and looked at the clock on the wall.
Five forty in the morning.
Xu Yun
""
He really wanted to pat the shoulder of the current number one person in physics and say, "Boss," and I, the readers in my previous life, were not so provocative.
However, Faraday was more or less one of his ancestors, so from the perspective of respecting the elderly and caring for the young, Xu Yun finally suppressed his thoughts.
He steeled himself, rubbed his hands, breathed into the clasped palms, and asked Faraday
"Mr. Faraday, what brings you to our door this early in the morning?"
Faraday nodded to 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 took advantage of the situation and looked around.
After being slightly stunned, I quickly recognized the identity of this thing.
"Is this Xiao Yanguan?"
Faraday carefully held one side of the test tube, nodded at the same time, and replied
"Yes, this is the Xiao Yan tube made based on your structural diagram."
It can be seen from Xu Yun's perspective.
The test tube in Faraday's palm has undergone complex modifications. The tube is thicker at the front and narrower at the back, with a black area connected to the tail.
Other than that.
There are several wire interfaces around it, and it seems that external coils can be connected at any time.
That’s right!
The test tube in Faraday's hand was the Geissler tube drawn by Xu Yun that day.
But now the designer of this test tube has been replaced by the mysterious Fat Fish, so Xu Yun replaced it with an orientalized name.
Xiao Yanguan.
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 conventional methods were concerned in 1850, ordinary test tubes could only achieve a vacuum of six thousandths of an atmosphere.
The modified version of the Geissler tube can be pumped down to only one hundred thousandth of the atmospheric pressure.
Judging from the degree of exhaustion, he is undoubtedly worthy of Xiao Yan in Guan Zhong.
It's reasonable and no problem.
The eyes are returning to reality.
Now that he saw the test tube in Faraday's hand, Xu Yun quickly understood his intention to come to the door.
"Mr. Faraday, are you ready to restart research on glow discharge?"
Faraday took a deep breath and nodded, with a hint of fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.
"Yes, Edward and I are fully prepared this time, and we have received support from Cambridge University. We must make up for this regret no matter what."
Glow discharge.
This is the gas discharge phenomenon that displays glow in low-pressure gas.
It has been introduced before.
Faraday actually discovered this phenomenon as early as 1838.
At the same time, he also discovered that the purple cathode glow and pink anode glow would separate from each other, forming a dark area in the middle area.
However, the conditions at the time were limited, and he could only extract a test tube environment with a vacuum degree of 6, and was unable to conduct in-depth research.
Therefore, Faraday could only give this area the name "Faraday's Dark Zone" and put it aside.
In fact, it was in Faraday's subconscious.
He knew that this dark zone would definitely involve some unknown areas - because the phenomenon itself could not be explained by conventional theories.
If it cannot be explained, it will naturally be about the unknown.
However, Faraday encountered so many unknown mysteries at that time that he gradually forgot about this phenomenon.
But what he didn't expect was...
The truth hidden behind this phenomenon is actually linked to the macro origin of the world!
Faraday has actually been a little scared these days and has had several nightmares.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Because for a scientist, missing this event will be a lifelong regret, and it can even be said to be a shame.
Fortunately
He met Xu Yun.
He first learned about the phenomenon observed by Fei Yu from Xu Yun, and then got the design drawing of the 'Xiao Yan Guan'.
At the same time, I also learned that due to various reasons, Feiyu had no time to study it in depth after designing the 'Xiao Yan Guan'.
So that day after parting ways 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 had received the finished tools including the 'Xiao Yan Tube' as early as yesterday morning, and could theoretically start experiments in the afternoon.
However, Christmas is a very special holiday after all - it is not only the Spring Festival in Europe, but it also has a strong religious overtones.
Both Faraday and Weber were religious. In other words, there were few people in Europe who were not religious in 1850.
Therefore, no matter what, they dare not overstep their bounds on Christmas Day.
Christmas is over today.
He rushed to Xu Yun's dormitory early and pulled 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.
In a way, it's like God calling you to go up to heaven and play chess.
Therefore, facing Faraday, who looked like a domineering president, Xu Yun could only sigh in resignation.
At six o'clock the day after Christmas, I got up from the bed and followed Faraday to the laboratory obediently.
In the future world where Xu Yun traveled through time, the most famous official laboratory of the University of Cambridge was undoubtedly the Cavendish Laboratory.
It is also the first comprehensive laboratory to be established after the establishment of natural sciences in Europe.
However, the Cavendish Laboratory had not yet been established in 1850, and even its first director, Wheat, was still an undergraduate.
Therefore, the place for Faraday's experiment was naturally not west of Cambridge, but an old building in the north of Cambridge was chosen.
lokn floor.
This building is adjacent to Professor Lucas's office at Cambridge University and is only one storey high.
It was also the oldest and most well-equipped laboratory at the University of Cambridge before the establishment of the Cavendish Laboratory.
Historically, Mavericks completed the formulation of the cooling law here and also studied the speed of sound.
It is said that the final draft of "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" was also finalized here.
Nowadays, the N floor has also added dust removal equipment similar to an air shower. Although this thing may seem a bit awkward in later generations, at this point, it can be regarded as a top dust removal method.
Xu Yun then walked through the air shower room under the leadership of Faraday and came to a room on the right side of the first floor.
This room covers an area of approximately more than 300 square meters and looks quite spacious.
Inside are microscopes, various ammeters and voltmeters, generators, magnetic induction coils, etc.
Xu Yun also saw a large bundle of cables about the thickness of a thumb in a corner. He didn't know what they were used 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 open and yawning.
Got it, unlucky guy 2.
Then Faraday brought Xu Yun to Weber and Gauss, and greeted them familiarly.
Then he looked at Kirchhoff again and asked
"Gustav, have the equipment been debugged?"
When Xu Yun met Faraday, Weber had entrusted Kirchhoff to his good friend. Now a month later, Kirchhoff has successfully established an assistant teaching staff.
After hearing what Faraday said, he pointed to the right side of the room and said in still somewhat dry English.
"Professor Faraday, all the equipment you need has been debugged."
Faraday and Xu Yun took advantage of the situation and looked at it.
as expected.
In the direction pointed by Kirchhoff, a set of equipment has been set up.
The bracket of the equipment is a table about four meters long and one and a half meters wide. There is an erected "Xiao Yan Tube" on the table.
The inside of the Xiao Yan tube is filled with mercury, and the outside is connected to several Rumkov coils, as well as optical circuit boards and other tools.
This is a standard set of glow experiment equipment, which can be easily assembled by any third school or even vocational high school in the future.
But in 1850.
This is the only high-precision experimental module in Europe, and it is also
A way to go deep into a certain field and touch the truth of the world.
Note
My hand hurts so much that I can't move it. I've written nearly 40,000 words in four days. Tomorrow's update may be posted in the early morning of the day after tomorrow. I have to go for acupuncture.
On the last day, please increase your monthly ticket to 7,000!!!
