Into Unscientific

  Chapter 247 Big Brothers Gather (Part 1)

  “.”

  When Mai Mai said that sentence.

  There was a strange silence between Xu Yun and Mai Mai.

  Xu Yun felt that there was a slot stuck in his throat, unable to spit it out or swallow it.

how to say

   As expected of being gay, even Wheat's thinking is so **** affectionate.

  However, from a certain point of view, what wheat said seems to be somewhat reasonable?

  Thomson went to Scotland for wheat and almost lost his life. After returning to school, he turned a blind eye to Ellis, who had been his classmate for three years

   Isn't this a standard Tianxiang vs. Ome drama?

  Ahem, think too far, think too far.

   Then Xu Yun took a deep breath, straightened his expression, and said to Mai Mai:

   "Mr. Maxwell, I need to remind you that Senior Ellis is obviously also a contender for the president of the Student Union."

   "You and I. No, it should be said that it is only you. The bond between you and Mr. Thomson has been analyzed before, and it can be regarded as a fatal weakness."

   "So at any time in the future, you must take extra precautions against Ellis - Ellis is not Alice, too close and no book to read."

  Wheat subconsciously glanced at the entrance of the classroom, and nodded thoughtfully.

   Mentioned earlier.

  The president of the Students’ Union of Cambridge University is very powerful, and it can be said that the power is on the campus, but the risk during the election is also not small.

  Candidates who fail the election must immediately drop out of school, leaving an indelible stain on their files, and even with them for a lifetime.

   In other words.

  Cambridge students who have the courage to run for the president of the Student Union should more or less have some special contacts or hole cards.

  So once Ellis makes a move on wheat, this honest kid from the Scottish countryside may not be able to stand it.

  Xu Yun even had a suspicion that the core scoring item of this election for the president of the Student Union is the defense of the halo of the fee-cutting student Mai Mai.

  If wheat can be pulled down from the cloud, Ellis will have a high score in the senior management of Cambridge, and there is a high probability that he will become the president of the Students' Union.

   On the contrary, Thomson is in the upper position.

   After all, Cambridge University has more than ten colleges, and the degree of autonomy between them is very high. Not everyone is willing to grow wheat.

  Xu Yun is more inclined that the top management is at a delicate game balance point, and both parties are waiting for the curtain to open after the school starts.

   While Xu Yun was talking with Mai Mai.

  At the entrance of the teacher, another "acquaintance" of Xu Yun walked in:

  Aveline Escue.

  This blond girl is the same as when we met, still holding a thick book in her signature style, exuding a strong literary atmosphere.

  The tranquil expression is like a pool of autumn water, making it difficult to connect her with that brat Lilani.

  Cambridge University currently recruits a limited number of girls, and 90% of the classrooms are old men. It looks like Xu Yun's readership in his previous life.

  In addition to Avelyn's outstanding appearance, so I don't know if it's an illusion. Xu Yun always felt that with the appearance of this girl, the voices in the classroom seemed to be a little quieter.

  At this time, Avelyn had no companions by her side. After entering the classroom, she glanced around, and soon found Xu Yun who stood out from the crowd of Europeans.

   Then she walked to Xu Yun and Mai Mai with the book in her arms, and nodded to Xu Yun and Mai Mai:

   "Maxwell, Luo Feng, good morning."

   "Senior sister/Aveline, hello."

   Mai Mai and Xu Yun also greeted her at the same time, and then Xu Yun asked curiously:

   "Student Avelyn, are you attending the Student Federation department or?"

  Aveline raised her eyelids and glanced at him, brushed a strand of hair that was hanging down behind her ear, and replied:

   "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has no attendance requirements today. Of course I'm here to attend the opening ceremony. I'm in the first year of graduate school this year."

   "Unlike other colleges, the four theological schools of Cambridge University, including Trinity College, hold the opening ceremony together every year—why do you think the venue for the ceremony is arranged in such a big place?"

  Xu Yun was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized:

   Yes.

   Almost forgot, Avelyn is also a first-year graduate student just like herself

   Then he suddenly thought of something, and said to Avelyn:

   "Student Avelyn, so the four people at the entrance of the classroom are all students from the four seminaries?"

  Aveline nodded:

   "Exactly."

  Xu Yun suddenly understood.

   No wonder you saw people from four colleges at the entrance. It turned out that everyone attended the opening ceremony together?

  Cambridge University has many colleges that have set up theology majors, but in 1850, there were only four that could really be called seminaries:

   Trinity College, St. Peter's College, **** College and Emmanuel College.

   As for another Christian college that sounds a lot like a seminary, it is actually a liberal arts college with a high academic level.

  For example, Deng Yaping, who is well-known in the table tennis world, obtained a doctorate in land economics from Christian College.

Of course.

  Although the name of the seminary has a strong religious nature, it seems that there are countless dogmas, as if reading the scriptures and praying day and night.

But in fact.

  Whether it is schoolwork or daily life, the color of sects in the seminary is not particularly strong.

  In the seminary, it is not the students who are really required by the norms of the sect, but the teachers—if you want to be a professor in the seminary, you must obtain the priesthood.

   For example and the famous Gloria.

  He entered Trinity College, Cambridge University to study in 1839. After graduation, he served as a trainee professor for three years. When he became a regular, he was forced to leave London because he was not a believer and became a lawyer.

   It was not until the school regulations changed in 1863 that he was officially hired as Sadler Professor at Cambridge.

   And because of this.

  Oriental people like Xu Yun who seem to have no foundation of faith at first sight are allowed to study in the hospital.

   Otherwise, in the face of religious precepts, let alone a letter written by Mavericks.

  You can't make an exception for bringing a calf back to life—whoever breaks dies.

   Then Xu Yun glanced at Avelyn, his own 'creditor', hesitated for a moment, and asked:

   "Student Avelyn, do you know the senior named Ellis at the door?"

  Aveline couldn't help showing a strange expression on her face when she heard the words:

   "You mean Frederick Agar Ellis?"

  Xu Yun nodded:

   "Exactly."

  Aveline was silent for a moment and said:

   "I know him, he is a very good senior of Trinity College, and he and senior Thomson have won the first and second places in the Department of Mathematics of Trinity College in the past few years."

   "Their original relationship was relatively harmonious, but since the person Senior Ellis likes confessed to Senior Thomson, the two have become a bit at odds."

   "For example, this time, Senior Thomson just announced that he would run for the president of the Student Union, and Senior Ellis signed up the next day, showing a relentless posture."

  Xu Yun:

  “.”

   Good guy.

   Love triangle.

  The reason why it is so clichéd that it cannot be more clichéd, but it is so reasonable that it cannot be more reasonable.

  In reality, there are countless cases of backlash due to a love triangle. There are several such cases around Xu Yun, and even almost killed him.

   Maimai on the side thought of something, and asked gossipingly:

   "By the way, Senior Sister Avelyn, did Mr. Thomson accept that person's confession afterwards?"

   Avelyn quickly gave an expected answer:

   "No, Senior Thomson rejected him."

  Xu Yun nodded subconsciously, but suddenly paused while shaking his head, and noticed a word in Avelyn's mouth:

   "Wait, classmate Avelyn, you said that senior Thomson rejected him (him)?"

  Aveline spread her hands innocently:

   "Yeah, that's Senior Ellis's roommate, and the third in the math department for a long time." (Note: true story)

  Xu Yun glanced at Mai Mai, and the corner of his mouth twitched:

  “.”

  Why does it feel like this is even more outrageous than wheat's brain supplement.

   And at the same time that the corner of Xu Yun's mouth was twitching.

   There was another movement at the entrance of the classroom.

   After a while.

  A dozen people bustled in outside the door.

  And different from the young faces of the students, the newcomers are not young, at least over thirty years old.

  The expression is solemn and the clothes are decent.

   Two of them are Xu Yun’s acquaintances:

  William Whewell, Dean of Trinity College, and Stokes, his own cheap tutor.

It is clear.

  The main leaders and professors of the four seminaries arrived.

  In addition, Xu Yun also noticed that the classification of this group of people is quite clear, and they are divided into four echelons:

  Stokes and some other younger professors followed at the end.

  Going forward are some veteran professors or school leaders who are in their fifties and sixties and who are very qualified at first glance.

  The second echelon consisted of four little old men represented by William Whewell, not surprisingly, they were the deans or executive deans of the four seminaries.

   As for the first echelon.

only one person.

   This is a middle-aged man about the same age as Stokes, with a beard on his upper lip and brown hair combed to the fullest.

  Wearing a lord's dress, he looks majestic and elegant.

no doubt.

  This person must be

  He was the chancellor of Cambridge University at the time, the husband of Queen Victoria, the most famous uncrowned king in British history.

   Francis Albert Augustus Charles Emmanuel.

   With the entry of these college leaders.

  The entire lecture hall was suddenly silent, and the atmosphere became solemn with naked eyes.

  At the same time Xu Yun also found out.

   During the time I was chatting with Avelyn, a considerable part of the classroom was already filled with students.

   Simply looking around, the number of people should be around 350 people.

   Just like that, about ten minutes passed.

  After the leaders took their seats in the first row, William Whewell walked to the stage, picked up the bell on the table and shook it:

   "Students, please be quiet!"

  The crisp ringtone, accompanied by a thick voice, quickly spread throughout the classroom.

"Um?"

  Hearing the clear male voice in his ear, Xu Yun let out a little surprise.

   looked around a few times.

as predicted.

  He found several large tanks filled with water at the four corners of the classroom, and some hollow copper tanks were placed at certain intervals behind the podium.

   This is a relatively primitive but also very effective method of sound amplification before the loudspeaker appeared, that is, it relies on sound wave resonance to achieve sound amplification in the small area.

  However, compared to the West, this method is actually more common in ancient China.

   After a few seconds.

  William Whewell put down the bell, coughed lightly, and said:

   "Geniuses from all over the world, hello, I am William Whewell, Dean of Trinity College, and I am also the speaker of today's opening ceremony."

   There was a burst of applause from the audience.

   Wait until the applause disappears.

  William Whewell looked around, nodded to everyone, and continued:

  “This year, the four seminaries of Cambridge University enrolled a total of 374 new students.

  “Among them there are 223 undergraduates with an average age of 17.4, and 151 postgraduates with an average age of 24.”

   "These 374 people came from 87 towns in the UK and 11 countries around the world, and more than 11% of the new students were international students."

  "Nearly 59% of you are the first college students or graduate students in your family, and nine of you are veterans. On behalf of Cambridge University, I welcome you!"

   “Cambridge University, as the school motto says, is the place of enlightenment, the source of knowledge, and the most mysterious palace of truth in the world.”

   "Cambridge University has cultivated countless well-known alumni, such as the greatest scientist Isaac Newton, art master Byron who created an era, novice fishermen who will make 30,000 daily changes next time, etc."

  “.We believe you will find your way and your friends. Rest assured, Cambridge University will change you, and in turn, you will change us all”

  William Whewell is worthy of being one of the philosophers who can start a school at the moment, and his preparation in speaking skills can be described as impeccable.

  Even Xu Yun, a time traveler from later generations, listened to it with great interest and didn't feel boring at all.

  With William Whewell's speech, the atmosphere of the entire ceremony gradually reached a climax.

  “.Every student present is a unique genius. Your growth may even be related to the direction of human history. Therefore, in terms of teachers, the school will naturally do its best to allocate them to the best.”

   Finish this sentence.

  William Whewell adjusted his position.

  Like an auctioneer, he straightened his left hand, flattened his palm and said to the audience:

   "So please allow me to take some time to introduce the strongest leaders and teaching lineup of our four colleges."

   After speaking, he took a deep breath, and his voice suddenly raised a bit:

   "The first thing I want to introduce is our spiritual pillar, the president of Cambridge University, the respected Prince Albert!"

   The voice just fell.

  Sitting in the first row, Prince Albert stood up, put his right hand on his chest, and nodded to the students.

   Clap clap!

   There was warm applause and cheers from the audience, and some people even shed tears in excitement.

  Prince Albert took real power around 1845, and the crow of this timeline has not yet broken out, and the vision of the people still stays in the United Kingdom. Or Europe.

   Therefore, Albert's attention in the UK is higher than the original history.

  At the same time, in the eyes of these college students who have just entered the ivory tower, the love between Albert and Victoria is basically no different from the embodiment of a fairy tale. Conceptually, it is almost equivalent to Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai in the East.

in this case.

  Nine out of ten students are fans of Prince Albert, and the remaining one is a crush on Queen Victoria.

   There are a few girls' expressions

  How should I put it, Xu Yun wondered if Albert had taken the aphrodisiac in human form.

  If those brainless fans in future generations have the opportunity to visit Fanfan in the prison, the picture they show may be like this

   After Prince Albert is seated.

  William Whewell stretched out his hand and pressed down again, motioning for everyone to be quiet.

  Then went on to introduce:

   "The second person I want to introduce to you is the current dean of Emmanuel College, Mr. Abu Teldorek!"

  Compared to Prince Albert, the applause this time was obviously much sparser.

  The largest area is on the right side of Xu Yun, which should be the area of ​​Emmanuel College.

  William Whewell continued to introduce other leaders with his expression unchanged:

   "Milton Sierra Dean of **** Academy"

   "Dean of Drizzt Hope Peter College"

   "Harvey Beji. Director of Student Registration Office."

   There are no acquaintances of Xu Yun among the leaders of the academy. The only thing that surprised him is:

   Drizzt Hope, who should have been dismissed in 1847, is still in office.

be honest.

  This person can be regarded as an upright person that is relatively rare in this era.

  He, like Mai Mai, once tried his best to oppose the invasion of China, but the reason for his opposition was a little bit special.

   Drizzt Hope can be regarded as a standard devout Christian, the one who is the same in the true sense:

  He believes that invading China is an extremely low-level approach, which is not in line with expectations, and will inevitably be judged after death.

   Therefore, he wiped out all the students of Peter College who participated in a crow, and made it clear that the students of Peter College were not allowed to participate in any aggressive actions.

  In the end, this brother only persisted for less than a year before he was dismissed.

   So his actions may be more subtle to evaluate.

  You may not say how friendly he is to China, after all, his starting point is based on his own religious beliefs.

  If the target of the invasion is changed to another country, he will do the same thing.

  Really defined, even international friends may not be counted.

   But political definitions aside, the word integrity clearly qualifies.

  This can be regarded as one of the complexities of religion.

  No matter which denomination in China or the West, if you can really believe in that kind of extremely pious, it will not be harmful.

   But such people are too few, too few, and most of them are half buckets of water in disguise to make troubles.

  The line of sight returns to reality.

  The school leaders of the four colleges are generally civilian staff, so it is normal that Xu Yun doesn't know much about them.

  But when William Whewell introduced the professor, something unexpected happened to Xu Yun.
