Into Unscientific

  Chapter 263 Another invitation letter

   I don't know if it was Xu Yun's illusion.

  After mentioning the matter of Angus Roman and his son.

  He felt that Lao Tang's expression suddenly became more solemn.

  How can I describe this atmosphere?

  It looks like Tuogu. Wrong, wrong, it looks like something big is about to happen.

no doubt.

   What Lao Tang will say next is far more important than Angus Roman's gossip.

   Then Lao Tang pondered for a moment, turned his head, and said to Mai on the side:

   "Maxwell, you go to the door to keep an eye on it, and remember to knock on the door in time for any abnormalities."

  Wheat was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said:

   "I see, Mr. Thomson."

   Wait until the wheat goes out.

  Lao Tang got up and went to the window, drew the curtains, and turned on the lamp.

   Then took it out of the inner chest pocket

   A letter.

  Lao Tangjin put the letter on the table, pushed it in front of Xu Yun, and said:

   "Luo Feng, take it apart and have a look, be careful not to damage it."

  Xu Yun nodded to him, took the letter and looked at it.

   This is a standard cowhide letter, with a small piece of ink pad stuck to the seal, and a few words are written in the addressee column:

  Student Luo Feng personally.

It is clear.

   This is a letter to Xu Yun.

  Considering the troubles I had at Cambridge University yesterday, it is reasonable for some students to write letters to themselves or even confess to themselves out of various psychology, but the problem is

  If the letter was only sent for the above reasons, is it worthwhile for Lao Tang to act like an underground party leader?

  And if it is not a letter sent by a student, then the optional target will be narrowed down a lot.

  Think here.

  Xu Yun couldn't help but think of a name:

  Prince Albert.

  After all, there are not many people who can make Lao Tang so solemn, there are just a few people inside and out.

   Faraday and William Whewell must be included, but if they have anything to say, they can call themselves at the experimental site.

   Prince Albert is the only exception.

  Affected by his identity, many behaviors of the uncrowned king of Great Britain are restricted, and it is reasonable to want to pass some words to himself in private.

So

  Could it be him?

  Holding this guess, Xu Yun tore open the envelope.

   After a while.

  A paragraph of English appeared in front of Xu Yun:

  The Cambridge Conversazione Society

  WILLDINE AT THE

  Hyde Park Place

  On Saturday, 10th Nov, 1850

  at7:30p.m.

  Replyto

  Sir William Thomson.

  After reading this passage, Xu Yun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

   Isn't Prince Albert?

  The content of this passage is not complicated, Xu Yun can understand its meaning even without halo translation:

  It is roughly a meeting organized by a certain Cambridge society, and the place is in Hyde Park. If you want to come, just reply to the old soup in front of you.

at the same time.

  Xu Yun's gaze was a little dazed.

   It’s fine if it’s not a letter from Prince Albert, but an invitation letter from a club is worthy of Lao Tang’s big fanfare. Wait!

  Xu Yun suddenly thought of something, he raised his head and asked Lao Tang thoughtfully:

   "Mr. Thomson, isn't this an invitation letter from the Cambridge Apostolic Society?"

  Lao Tang looked up at him and nodded in affirmation.

  I saw his index finger pacing on the table, explaining:

   "That's right, the Apostolic Society will hold a banquet in two days, at which time a vote will be held on the membership qualifications of the new batch of Apostolic Society members."

   "I came here this time to send you this invitation letter—congratulations, Luo Feng, you already have the qualification for an interview at the Cambridge Apostles Club."

  Cambridge Apostolic Society.

   This mysterious group was introduced a long time ago.

   This is a society jointly established in 1820 by Morris of Cambridge University, Tennyson Hallam and others.

  The apostles here correspond to the "Acts of the Apostles" in the "Bible", that is, the twelve disciples of Jesus.

  So, the maximum number of people in the Apostle Club has always been 12.

   In the community.

  Members of undergraduate students are often referred to as "apostles," while graduate students are referred to as "angels."

  In the beginning, the club's activities were mainly debates, called the Cambridge Symposium, which was mostly in the nature of a tea party.

  Cambridge Apostles held a meeting every Saturday night. During the regular meeting, the group members gave a speech on a certain topic, and after the speech, the members discussed freely.

  However, as the early batches of members of the Apostolic Society stepped into the political or business circles, those who cared gradually realized the value of this society.

  The nature of the Apostolic Society has thus changed.

   This is equivalent to a small group created by some Internet writers in later generations. It may have been just thinking about bragging, but it gradually became a gathering place for py.

   As for the way to join the Apostles Society, it is difficult to say, but it is not so simple to say:

   This system is called the Referee recommendation system.

   That is to say.

  If you want to join the Apostolic Society, you must first know an apostolic member—although you may not know his identity, and then this person proposes a preliminary vote, and then you will receive an email invitation to attend a dinner at a college set up in Cambridge University.

  At this evening (mian) banquet (shi), all previous members will attend as long as they can be present, and vote to determine whether new members are eligible to join.

  New members are required to take an oath of secrecy and hear a spell written by theologian Anthony Fenton.

   Then Old Tang paused, and continued:

   "However, Luo Feng, you need to have a clear idea first. This invitation letter is not an official letter of joining the company. It is not easy to pass the interview."

   "Otherwise, the Apostle Club would have been overcrowded."

  Xu Yun nodded clearly.

  The maximum number of people in the Apostle Club is twelve, which does not mean that it must enroll this number every year.

   In the declassification of some documents of the Apostolic Society in later generations, it can be found that in many years the number of the Apostolic Society was only seven or eight or even five or six.

  Under such circumstances, even Xu Yun is not sure if he wants to enter the Apostles Club.

But on the other hand.

  If he can join this extremely mysterious Cambridge society, Xu Yun's score will definitely get a huge increase at the time of settlement.

   Even if it can have an impact on the long-term history through associations, there may be national sports-level rewards if it is not guaranteed?

  Think here.

  Xu Yun could not help but look at Lao Tang, and thanked him:

   "Mr. Thomson, thank you this time."

  As mentioned above, the model of the Apostle Club is a standard Referee recommendation system, and there must be referees.

   So in Xu Yun's view.

   To be able to receive this invitation letter, Lao Tang must have contributed behind it.

  But what Xu Yun didn't expect was that.

  Old Tang waved his hand at him, shook his head and said:

   "You don't need to thank me, I just proposed a few minutes earlier than some people."

   "Even if I don't speak, you will still receive this letter."

"some people?"

  Hearing this word in Lao Tang's words, Xu Yun was stunned, and asked subconsciously:

   "Mr. Thomson, are there any other apostles who proposed to send me an invitation letter?"

  Old Tang picked up water to moisten his throat, put down the glass and said:

   "Exactly."

  Xu Yunjian said Shen Yin Shaoqing, and tentatively reported a name:

   "Student Avelyn?"

  Lao Tang smiled, just when Xu Yun thought he guessed right, he said again:

   "Aveline also wrote the proposal, but she was not the second person to submit it."

  Xu Yun was completely stunned.

   As the descendant of the Escu family who has the closest blood relationship with Mavericks, Avelyn's own achievements are also extremely superior, so Xu Yun had guessed a long time ago:

   If there is no accident, she should be one of the active Cambridge apostles.

  So after Lao Tang said that besides him, there were other people who proposed to absorb him into the Apostles Club, Xu Yun immediately thought of that smart girl.

   The result was unexpected.

  This answer is only half right—Aveline did make a suggestion, but the pick was only third.

   That is, between Aveline and Lao Tang, another apostle proposed the same idea.

   This makes some sense.

  At this time, Mai Mai was still just a freshman, and this time he hadn't even received an invitation letter, so it was impossible for him to be qualified to make such a suggestion.

  And except wheat.

  Xu Yun is not a genius at Cambridge University, and ordinary students don't know many of them.

   True.

  The experiments he made last night were indeed a bit shocking, but they were still far from being recommended by a passerby.

  Whether it’s Old Tang or Avelyn.

  One of them was saved by himself, and the other is a descendant of Mavericks, who has a certain friendship with him, so it is completely reasonable to make suggestions.

   But another person.

  Xu Yun thought for a full half a minute, but couldn't guess who it was. (Play a game, who can guess the fifty chapters added, before the next chapter is updated before the deadline, relevant clues have been left before)

   Then he looked at Lao Tang and asked:

   "Mr. Thomson, I don't know who the second person who proposed the idea is."

  Old Tang waved to him again, and said:

   "You will understand the details when you get to the banquet site. Don't worry, the other party has no ill intentions towards you."

  After talking, Lao Tang seemed to have thought of something, and his expression regained his seriousness visible to the naked eye again.

  I saw him pause, and then said:

   "Luo Feng, as I said before, this invitation letter is not the final admission letter, but just a chance for you and other 'candidate apostles' to have an interview."

   "So you have to prepare in advance. Well, some people are against your admission, so maybe."

  Lao Tang didn’t finish his sentence, but Xu Yun understood what he meant:

  Old Tang Avelyn and the mysterious apostle hope to join the society, but some people hold the opposite opinion.

   and nothing unexpected

  There are still a lot of opponents in this part, otherwise Lao Tang wouldn't bother to emphasize this matter deliberately.

   Therefore, during the interview process, I may encounter some special difficulties.

  As for the reasons why these people do not welcome themselves, there are many reasons:

   It may be because of bad relationship with Lao Tang, or it may be of oriental background, etc.

Of course.

  The most likely reason is that all the experiments I have done are replicating the achievements of ‘Fat Fish’.

  Some apostles may think that this has nothing to do with them—you, a porter, are also worthy of being with us?

   So obvious.

   This time the 'interview' of the Apostles Club, I'm afraid it will not be easy.

all in all.

   After handing over the invitation letter, Lao Tang's task today will be considered as successfully completed.

   Then Xu Yun cooks in person and shows off the scallion fish that he once chased after the girl.

  The fresh river eel meat is taken out of the pot, and a spoonful of scallion oil is poured on it with a prickly sound, and the fresh fragrance immediately fills the dormitory.

   After the meal, Lao Tang and Xu Yun parted ways.

  Xu Yun and Mai Mai rested for a while, and at around two o'clock in the afternoon, they officially ushered in the

   Their first class at Cambridge University.

Note:

  I was planning to code all night, but suddenly the power went out. It was said that because of the high temperature in the past few days, everyone turned on the air conditioner, and the nearby lines were directly overloaded and cracked.

We need to consult a lot of information for this book. The webpages are all on my computer, and the Internet cafe can’t code at all. Let’s post this for the time being tonight, and play a small game by the way. Originally, I planned to directly summarize all the plots Chapter got it done.

  I’ll wait for a while to see the specific situation. It’s really hard to open a hotel with a mobile phone number. It’s really difficult.
