Into Unscientific

Chapter 245: Backhand (Candidates for the college entrance examination tomorrow, come on!!!!

  Although as a male with a normal orientation, Xu Yun really wanted to give Darwin's bald head two brains.

   But thinking that this person is indeed a pure scientist, he still decided to have a good communication with the other party.

Of course.

   Check the body. rmvb is definitely not there.

   Then Xu Yun led Darwin to a quieter place, and went to the public drinking area to fetch two glasses of water.

   Bakelite was not officially invented until 1907, so these days public drinking water areas are dominated by wooden cups, which are sterilized with hot water.

  After sitting down.

  Xu Yun pondered for a moment, pushed a glass of water in front of Darwin, and asked him:

   "Mr. Darwin, are you a teaching assistant or professor at Cambridge University?"

   Darwin shook his head, took out an alumni card from his body, and gently raised it:

   "No, I am currently working for the British Institute of Nature Research and have no business relationship with the University of Cambridge."

   "However, I am a student who graduated from Cambridge University, so I can still sneak into the library to look up information."

  Xu Yun nodded thoughtfully.

  He originally thought that history had changed, and Darwin had also become a professor at Cambridge University.

Now it seems.

  Timeline doesn't have a big influence on famous people's resume.

  William Whewell is still the dean of Trinity College, and Stokes is still a professor who joined the school in 1849, and now Darwin is added.

  However, regardless of whether the timeline changes or not, Darwin, the big brother Xu Yun, will definitely make friends.

   But before that, he had to let him give up the idea of ​​greedy his body.

   Then Xu Yun was silent for a few seconds, organized his words, and said:

   "Mr. Darwin, to tell you the truth, in fact, the body structure of Orientals is not much different from that of Europeans. They both have 206 bones—at most, some LSPs have 207 bones."

   "It's just that what we pay attention to is the skill of exerting force and using force to exert force, so there are often situations where there are some situations where four or two pull a thousand catties."

  Speaking, he pointed to Darwin's arm, then raised the back of his palm, and explained:

   "For example, just now you stretched your arm towards me in a horizontal posture. I only need to follow your movement and press down on your wrist, and I can use inertia to counter you. It is commonly known as hair extension."

  Although the teacher Ma of Hunyuan Tai Chi in the later generations is a complete joke, the promotion of the lightning five consecutive whips is also nonsense.

  But the three words "Jiehuafa" are different. They are not words created by Mr. Ma, but they are very common in practical use.

   Like many fighting methods in later generations and the fighting methods taught by special and armed police, the core is also inseparable from the concept of receiving hair.

   To put it bluntly, it is to follow the opponent's inertia to counter.

   There are also rolling unloading forces such as parkour, which also rely on inertia to protect the body.

  This is an empirical classification, and it is not the unique skill of Mr. Ma.

  It’s just because Teacher Ma’s quotations are so classic and joyful.

  So many people will naturally hook up with Mr. Ma when they hear "receiving hair".

   "Do you want to use your strength to fight?"

  Darwin repeated the concept Xu Yun said, stretched out his hands and gestured, and then confirmed to Xu Yun:

   "So this student, is it true that there are no immortals in the East who can ascend to heaven and earth?"

  Xu Yun shook his head decisively.

  Although the word sword fairy is very attractive, there is still a big difference between reality and fantasy:

"of course not."

  When Darwin heard this, a mixture of regret and relief appeared on his face.

   Unfortunately, because he is a naturalist, his curiosity about the mysterious side is much higher than that of ordinary people.

  Like many bloggers who refute ufo rumors in later generations, they are actually more eager to discover UFOs than ordinary people.

   Now that I know that there is no immortal in the East, regret is an emotion that will inevitably appear.

   As for the relief.

  It is because the Orientals have not transcended the concept of human beings, which is in line with some of the theories he has drawn so far.

  If there really are gods in the east, then it means that the research that I have spent almost twenty years on before and after will not be able to stand up to the root.

   Then Xu Yun paused, and asked Darwin again:

   "Mr. Darwin, you just said that you are studying the human body?"

   Darwin came back to his senses, touched his bald head, and replied:

   "It can't be regarded as research. In the early years, I traveled around the sea with a captain and found some fossils on some islands."

"how to say"

  Darwin gave a few 'tsk' lightly, and after some hesitation, he still said:

   "I found that the creatures on the earth seem to be undergoing a kind of evolution for a long time. Or the process of morphological evolution."

  Xu Yun raised his eyelids and glanced at him, pretending to half understand and asking:

   "Morphological evolution? Mr. Lamarck's use-it-or-lose-it theory?"

   Lamarck is a big guy who is also called the founder of biology. For example, the concept of "invertebrates" was proposed by him.

  The use-it-waste-it theory he put forward in 1809 is also the earliest theory of evolution in human history.

   It's just that compared with Darwin, Lamarck's name is much smaller.

   Just like many people only know that Mavericks derived the formula of universal gravitation, but they don't know the role of Hooke in it.

   Lamarck thinks.

  Organs of living organisms will become developed if they are used frequently, and will gradually degenerate if they are not used frequently.

  Like the brain, the more you think and use it, the more flexible you will be.

   And the more lazy you are, the brain will be like a rusty chain, making it difficult to function normally.

   This kind of statement still had a market in the early days of modern biology, and was once regarded as the truth by many people.

  But later generations who engage in biology know it.

  The theory of use, use, waste, or retreat is a relatively idealistic theory. It has no problem with individual variation, but it is not suitable for race.

  Because the theory of progress, waste and retreat believes that evolution and degeneration are only changes in organs, and genetic genes remain unchanged.

   Like fish in the deep sea.

  Because there is no light in the deep sea, deep-sea fish basically have no vision, and the function of the eyes will degenerate.

   But according to Lamarck's thinking, the genes of these fish will not change.

  So newly born deep-sea fish will have eyesight, they will have eyes like little swallows, and then slowly degenerate.

   And this is obviously not in line with the actual situation.

   But still that sentence.

  The level of science and technology of later generations is different from that of ancient and modern times, and the level of scientific theory is also very different.

   Some very simple truths in later generations may still belong to front-end theories in 1850 when there was no relevant accumulation.

  So after hearing Xu Yun's use-it-or-waste theory, Darwin immediately became interested:

   "My theory has not yet fully formed, but it is slightly different from Mr. Lamarck's use-it-or-lose-it theory."

   "Mr. Lamarck believes that the inheritance of offspring will not change, and the evolution of the individual will be determined by the individual itself, which belongs to the standard idealistic concept."

   "In my opinion, evolution should be a process of joint genetic optimization. Organisms will evolve according to their environment, thus giving birth to different species, including .

   Darwin suddenly stopped talking.

   He looked around for a while, then glanced at Xu Yun.

   Secretly thinking that the other party should not be a pious believer, he continued:

   "Humans included."

   After speaking, Darwin stared closely at Xu Yun's left hand.

   I'm afraid that this young man will start a fight.

  After all, creationism is still a very marketable concept these days, not to mention that Trinity College is still a seminary, and the number of believers and Billy have always been the highest among Cambridge University.

soon.

  Under Darwin's gaze, Xu Yun raised his left hand, and then...

   Picked up the water glass and took a sip of water.

   Darwin:

   "????"

  Wait for Xu Yun to put down the water glass.

   Darwin touched his bald head again, and asked unexpectedly:

   "Student, aren't you surprised?"

   "Call me Luo Feng, Mr. Darwin."

  Xu Yun first introduced his name, and then asked:

   "Surprised? Why surprised?"

   After he finished speaking, he paused and gave an example:

   "It is rumored that there is a snake breeder in the east named Orochimaru, who is very familiar with snakes on land."

   "As a result, once he went to the seaside, he found that the snakes in the sea were obviously different from the snakes on land."

   "For example, terrestrial snakes are round in shape, while sea snakes have a flattened tail, which is easy to swim like fish."

   "Later, he put forward a hypothesis that animals will optimize themselves according to the environment and pass it on to the next generation. Some creatures with different appearances may have the same ancestor thousands of years ago."

   "Wonderful!"

  As soon as Xu Yun spoke, Darwin stood up suddenly, put his hands on the table, and asked:

   "Student Luo Feng, where is that Orochimaru from? Is he still alive?"

at the same time.

  Darwin suddenly felt a sense of joy in meeting a confidant on the road of seeking.

  Although he has been establishing the theoretical basis of species evolution over the years, many acquaintances also think that he got his thinking inspiration from the seabird fossils in Playa Port.

   But only Darwin himself knew.

  He really began to pay attention to the cause of species being affected by the environment, which actually came down to a sea snake caught by the crew!

   That was when the Beagle sailed into the Strait of Magellan near the west coast of South America.

  One morning, the boat encountered a tide of mackerel, and the crew started fishing with howls.

   As a result, a crew member accidentally caught a long-nosed sea snake, not knowing whether it was good luck or bad luck when casting the net.

   Later, while eating sea snake hot pot, Darwin suddenly discovered that the bones of sea snakes were completely different from those of land snakes.

  One is vertical and the other is flat. When combined, they can form a Cartesian coordinate system.

  So Darwin began to pay attention to the relevant situation. After eating and researching hundreds of sea snakes in the whole ship, Darwin finally made a guess:

   This is that snakes actually have the same ancestor as land snakes, but they have structural variations to adapt to life in the sea, and they have innate heredity!

  This secret Darwin kept hidden in his heart, but today he unexpectedly found out that someone in the East also discovered a similar situation?

   So almost in a split second.

  Darwin regarded the Orochimaru who had never met as a confidant.

  Compared to the excited Darwin, Xu Yun is much calmer.

   After all, this is what Darwin wrote in his autobiography

  Scholar’s ​​business, how can it be counted as plagiarism?

   Then he motioned Darwin to sit down, took a deep breath, and said:

   "Sorry, Mr. Darwin, Mr. Orochimaru was a character hundreds of years ago, and he is no longer alive now."

   "Ah, is he dead?"

   Darwin opened his mouth, shook his head and sighed:

"what a pity."

   Then Xu Yun asked again:

   "By the way, Mr. Darwin, how is your progress in related theories?"

   Darwin shook his head, pointed to a book on the table, and replied:

   "To tell you the truth, the theory of evolution is just a temporary conjecture of mine, and I haven't written a word yet. Now my main energy is still in geological evolution."

   "Here, this book is the professional content of geology."

  Xu Yun glanced at him, but didn't expose his lie.

   It's making trouble.

  If it was just a temporary conjecture, would you have the urge to study the body structure immediately after seeing me, an oriental man?

   Four years after the death of his daughter Annie, will the entire theory of evolution be published in a book?

   There may be nothing wrong with saying that the main energy lies in geology, but Darwin's cognition of evolution at this time is obviously not as simple as a conjecture.

   At least at least, he should have half a set of theories in his mind.

   It’s just that Darwin has not yet experienced the pain of bereavement, so he is somewhat afraid of creationism and dare not tell the truth.

correct.

  Speaking of his daughter, Xu Yun suddenly remembered something, and said to Darwin:

   "Mr. Darwin, I remember that the British Academy of Natural Sciences is in Manchester, why are you here?"

   "Will be in London?"

  Darwin smiled indifferently. He was used to this question, so he explained:

   "My wife and I moved to Dawen House outside London eight years ago, and we are mainly responsible for publishing books, so we only need to go to Manchester once a month."

   "Besides, my eldest daughter's health is not very good recently, so I go less often. At most, I come to the Cambridge University Library occasionally to check information or meet friends."

  Xu Yun felt a chill in his heart, and asked:

   "Not in good health?"

  Darwin and his wife Emma are cousins, which is considered a close relative marriage, so the health of the offspring is generally very bad.

  Three of their ten children died, and three of the remaining seven were infertile for life.

  The death of his eldest daughter Anne pushed Darwin to an extreme:

  During Anne's illness, Darwin almost became the most devout believer, praying and repenting day and night, but in the end he couldn't save Anne's life.

  This is also one of the reasons why "Origin of Species" has some extreme emotions as mentioned above.

   Just like the protagonists in the famous "Little Cutie, Get Your Money Back", they even covered their faces with paint in order to support the national team. It is absolutely impossible for them to be fake fans.

  Result The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

  The national football team unexpectedly lost, each of them turned black in an instant, and golden sentences appeared frequently, creating an out-of-the-box meme.

  Xu Yun has no intention of commenting too much on faith, and having a spiritual sustenance is actually not a bad thing.

  But from the perspective of the development of the history of science, Darwin's blackening is obviously not a good thing.

  It has caused many problems that can be explained even at this point in time to be preserved, and has caused many loopholes in the logic of evolution theory beyond belief, thus greatly affecting the development of modern evolution theory.

  So out of emotion and reason, Xu Yun hoped to see if there was a way to save such a little girl.

   After all, she was only ten years old when she died.

  As for the cause of Annie's death, perhaps it was due to the medical relationship at the time, but it is still a mystery.

  Medical scientists of later generations can only analyze Darwin's diary and judge three possibilities.

   are:

  Pulmonary tuberculosis, scarlet fever and coronary heart disease.

   It was the end of 1850 at this time, and Christmas would be one and a half months away.

   Follow the historical trajectory.

  Anne will die in 1851—Xu Yun can't remember the exact month, but considering the characteristics of the above diseases, the possibility of onset in spring and summer is very high.

  Think here.

  Xu Yun pondered for a moment, pretended to be curious, and asked Darwin:

   "Mr. Darwin, may I ask, what are the symptoms of your daughter's illness?"

   "To tell you the truth, there are some special medicines in the east, which may help a little."

   Darwin was slightly taken aback.

  The East has always been synonymous with mystery in Europe, not to mention that there have been strange people like fat fish in history, so Darwin really didn't question Xu Yun's statement.

  I saw him recalling for a moment, and said:

   "Annie has two symptoms. One is tightness in the front chest. Sometimes there will be cramps in the heart, weakness, and weak breathing."

   "The other is fatigue, night sweats, dry heat, and occasionally a slight low-grade fever"

  Xu Yun couldn't help clenching his fists a little when he heard this.

  Darwin said the former is obviously a symptom like angina pectoris, but the latter.

  Why does it feel a bit like the incubation period of tuberculosis?

To know.

   Although tuberculosis in 2022 is not terminally ill, the treatment process is not simple.

  Even if the industrial productivity of this dungeon is close to 1900, it is still a difficult problem to treat tuberculosis.

  Think here.

  Xu Yun reached into his pocket and took out a small bottle.

  He had learned in Hamilton’s book before that although nitroglycerin tablets have been found to be useful in the treatment of coronary heart disease, they are still a very difficult product to prepare.

  Even the medical laboratories of the Royal Society of England can only preliminarily prepare tablets.

  Don't talk about Darwin.

  Even William Whewell, the dean of Trinity College, had a hard time getting access to this kind of thing.

  That is to say, people have realized the effect of nitroglycerin on the heart, and can preliminarily prepare a small amount of semi-finished products. The technology is up to the standard, but the specific trimming process still needs to be tried.

   Then Xu Yun poured out four small white pills from the small bottle, and wrapped them in a handkerchief that he carried with him that hadn't blown his nose.

   handed over to Darwin, and asked:

   "Mr. Darwin, please put away these pills first."

   "If your daughter has angina again, let her take a tablet of this medicine sublingually, and let me know if it works."

   "I live in dormitory 302 of Fiola's postgraduate dormitory. You can come to me whenever you need it."

   Darwin took the handkerchief, and this time he didn't say anything that made me happy, but solemnly put it in his inner chest pocket:

   "I hope it will be useful to borrow your good words. Thank you, classmate Luo Feng."
