Into Unscientific

  Chapter 267 Good Show Opening (7.6K)

   "Are you changing 30,000 a day?"

   Seeing someone point out his strengths as soon as he entered the room, Xu Yun was subconsciously taken aback.

   When he regained his senses.

   A young man was already standing in front of him.

  This person is about 1.9 meters tall, but his figure is a bit thin, his cheekbones are slightly raised, and his two eyes are extremely bright.

   Look from the outside.

  Unconsciously, Xu Yun thought of a football player named Crouch in later generations, nicknamed 'Gao Lao'.

   Then without waiting for him to speak.

  The thin bamboo pole grabbed his hand, shook it, and chattered:

   "Student Luo Feng, I finally saw you in person!"

   "If it weren't for you, my family would probably suffer criticism for a long time. On behalf of my family, I would like to thank you!"

   "It's a pity that I was a step late a few days ago and asked Thomson to hand in the proposal first"

  Looking at the young man who was chattering in front of him, as if he wanted to make love with him.

  Xu Yun could only laugh dryly while restraining his more violent movements.

   It is not difficult to see from the words of the young man.

  He should be the mysterious person who submitted the proposal to invite him for an interview later than Lao Tang, but earlier than Avelyn.

   But the problem is

  Xu Yun let alone helping this person's family, he doesn't even know who the other person is.

  The two had never met before today!

   can be on the other hand.

  My oriental face is highly recognizable in Cambridge University or the whole of the UK, and the other party yelled out my nickname, so it can be judged that the person this person is looking for must be me.

   Could it be that one day Meng De possessed me and did some good things in my sleep?

  This is impossible

  It’s almost the same if it’s a good thing replaced by Akari Tsumugi.

  Think here.

  Xu Yun couldn't help but looked at Thomson, and frantically began to blink.

  Thomson smiled slightly when he saw that, and gently pushed his chin towards the thin bamboo pole, explaining:

   "Luo Feng, let me introduce you, this is a second-year graduate student at Trinity College, classmate Daniel Bradley."

   "Daniel Bradley?"

   repeated the name.

  Xu Yun's pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes once again turned to the thin bamboo pole in front of him:

   "Could it be"

  Thomson nodded heavily, confirming his guess:

   "Yes, he is the great-grandson of Bradley."

  Received Lao Tang's reply, Xu Yun suddenly realized.

   No wonder this man is so friendly to himself.

   No wonder this man opened his mouth and said that he wanted to thank himself for the family.

  Because he is the great-grandson of that Bradley. (Bradley was mentioned in Chapter 252. The mystery is now revealed. In fact, it was already hinted at that time. How could the difficulty of offering a large reward be so simple.)

   Speaking of the name Bradley, many people may think of Omar Nelson Bradley.

   That is, the last five-star general in the history across the sea.

   But if you add the word "speed of light" to the name and search again.

   You will find another person named Bradley who once left a little mark on history.

  This person's full name is James Bradley, and most articles will refer to him as J. Bradley.

  James Bradley was an English astronomer, born in 1693 and died in 1762.

  The reason why this person occupies a place in history is mainly because he discovered a phenomenon in 1728:

  When he observed the stars on the earth, he found that the apparent positions of the stars were constantly changing.

  In one year, all the stars seem to orbit around the zenith in an ellipse with equal semi-major axes.

  He believes that this phenomenon is due to the fact that it takes a certain amount of time for the light from the stars to reach the ground, and during this time, the earth has changed its position due to its revolution.

  Finally, he used this ‘Aberration Method’ to measure another value of the speed of light:

  299930 km/s.

   This value is far from the 210,000 km/s measured by Mavericks and Huygens, and it does not conform to the inherent cognition at the time.

  At the same time, James Bradley’s method also had some loopholes that could not be solved at the time, so his calculation results have not been accepted by the academic community, and he has even been ridiculed as a villain who does not know the heights of the sky and the earth.

  James Bradley must have been dissatisfied with this, so he appealed in 1731.

  In the original history.

  James Bradley encountered a super-large-scale "Internet explosion" because of the appeal in 1731:

  Throwing stones at the glass of the house is a basic routine. Bradley himself was fired by the British Observatory, and his brother who worked at Barclays Bank also lost his job because of this.

  1743.

  His son, Hart Bradley, applied for Oxford University. Although he had enough grades, he was rejected because he failed the 'political examination'.

  This is still the case in the original history, let alone the timeline when this calf can become a god.

  In the past hundred years, Bradley has encountered more severe reality attacks than before.

   Now more than 120 years have passed, although many restrictions have been gradually lifted—for example, Daniel Bradley, a younger generation, not only entered Cambridge University, but also became a member of the Apostolic Society.

  But various tangible and intangible criticisms still exist today.

  However, just when Daniel Bradley thought everything would continue like this, an accident happened:

   not long ago

  Xu Yun's experiment remeasured the speed of light, and the value is infinitely close to the calculation result of his ancestors!

   This was not only recognized by Faraday and many other bigwigs, but also submitted to the Royal Society in the form of a written report.

   It is estimated that in the early next month, it will be published in an official form.

   Unprepared,

  The clown hat that the Bradley family has been carrying for a century has been taken off.

  Even James Bradley’s evaluation in history may change from a [ignorant fool] to [a brave man who dares to throw stones at Goliath].

   How can this not excite Daniel Bradley?

   So early the next morning.

  Daniel Bradley handed over the proposal to the current president of the Apostles Society and became the mysterious second person.

  A question has been solved so far.

  The line of sight returns to reality.

   Right now.

  Daniel Bradley seemed a little regretful that he didn't help Xu Yun, so he invited Xu Yun to drink tea in his dormitory when he was free.

  For example, "They call me Brother Dan, I live alone, and my dormitory is quite big", "If you want to come, I can take you to the supermarket later and buy some delicious food." Etc.

   During the whole process, no one else in the room spoke.

  They look at this place with cold eyes, playfulness, or calmness,

  Occasionally, they communicate with each other with their eyes.

  Daniel Bradley soon noticed the change in the atmosphere, and simply took Lao Tang's job, grabbed Xu Yun's wrist, and led him to the edge of the sofa in three or five steps.

  He first led Xu Yun to an elegant young man with long brown hair, and introduced:

   "Student Luo Feng, let me introduce you."

   "This is the current president of the Cambridge Apostolic Society, Gabriel Rossetti, who just graduated from the Royal Academy two years ago and is currently studying at Cambridge University"

   Before Daniel Bradley finished speaking, he was interrupted mercilessly by the long-haired man:

   "Daniel, please call me Dante Gabriel Rossetti, thank you."

   Then the long-haired man ignored the embarrassed Daniel, but turned his head and looked directly at Xu Yun.

  He sized up Xu Yun with scrutiny for half a minute, and then said calmly:

   "Hi, Luo Feng stay up all night."

  See this scenario.

  Xu Yun didn't stretch out his hand, and just replied without any waves:

   "Good evening, President Rossetti."

   Dante Gabriel Rossetti.

   Almost the moment he heard this name, Xu Yun understood who this person was.

  One of the three founders of the British Pre-Raphaelites in the 19th century.

  Brother of poet Christina Rossetti and painter William Michael Rossetti.

   A very important figure in the art world of the nineteenth century.

  Dante Gabriel Rossetti graduated from the Royal Academy, but between 1850 and 1851, he briefly studied for a master's degree in Cambridge, and he can barely be regarded as an alumnus of Cambridge.

  However, although Rossetti has a high reputation, achievements and status.

   But let’s be honest.

  Xu Yun doesn't like this person.

  First of all, he often adds a lot of pornographic content to his works, and often portrays female characters as prostitutes.

   In addition, Rossetti's private life is also very messy:

He first stepped two boats between Jeanne Pouldini and Elizabeth Hidal, and later developed the housekeeper Fanny Cornforth as his new lover, portraying her in the painting as a carnal woman symbol of.

   Then the Tauren took his good friend William Morris, and made his wife Jane Morris another mistress.

  Many people in later generations attributed Rossetti's actions to the artist's personality, described him as an indulgent and open-minded prodigal son, and then dismissed him with the phrase "Aren't all artists like this?"

be honest.

  Xu Yun feels a little sick every time he sees these comments:

   I don’t know if those who say that Rossetti has a true temperament can be so open-minded after being given to the tauren by his brothers in life?

  Promiscuous love belongs to the category of "scum", and destroying other people's families is completely a matter of values.

  Right now, Rossetti's attitude towards him is obviously a little cold, which just cuts Xu Yun's mind, and there is no need to worry about what to do.

  Then Rossetti glanced at Lao Tang who was walking over, and a cold snort came out from his nostrils.

  Turning his head back, he leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and sipped the red wine lazily.

  Daniel Bradley scratched his head with an awkward smile, and cast an apologetic look at Xu Yun, which meant clearly:

  Although he knew that he might be scorned on Rossetti's side, he is the current president of the Apostolic Society after all, and it is impossible to introduce other people past him.

  Xu Yun shrugged at him knowingly, expressing that he was very stable.

  Daniel then led Xu Yun to another sofa, where a naive little fat man was sitting:

   "Student Luo Feng, this is Leopold George Frederick Agar Olsen, a third-year undergraduate student at Gonville and Case College."

   Leopold George Frederick Agar Olsen?

  Xu Yun has no impression of this person, but just hearing this hydrological-looking name, he has a good impression of this person innately:

   "Hello Senior Olsen, I am Luo Feng from Trinity College."

  The little fat man put down the fruit in his hand, and gently shook Xu Yun's hand:

   "Student Luo Feng, welcome to the interview dinner of the Apostles Club. I hope that the Apostles Club will have the first member from the East."

  Xu Yun nodded, and was about to say a few more polite words.

  His right back suddenly let out a sneer:

   "Olsen, unfortunately, your blessing may not come true tonight."

  Xu Yun and Olsen turned their heads to look at the situation, and found that the speaker was a man with a horse face who was not tall but had a strangely long face.

   This person was wearing a gray jacket, his hair was tied into a single ponytail behind his head, and he was accompanied by a boy with a nervous expression.

  The appearance of the two is vaguely similar, and they seem to have some blood relationship.

It is clear.

   This sullen boy is one of his competitors this time.

  Hearing the slightly provocative words of the horse-faced man, Daniel on the side was a little upset at first:

   "Straight girl thief, Patrick Adam, what the **** are you talking about?"

  Patrick Adam curled his lips pretending to be innocent, glanced at Olsen and Lao Tang, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly:

   "Tonight's interview is one of six, Daniel, do you think this Oriental will have a chance?"

   "Choose one of six?"

  Daniel froze for a moment, then frowned and asked:

   "Didn't seven interviewees select two? How did it become six?"

  Patrick Adam hummed(↓)hum(↑) at him and didn't speak again.

   Instead, he took the boy beside him to a certain corner.

  See this scenario.

  Daniel couldn't help but turned his head and looked at Lao Tang, a trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of both of them.

  Looks like this round of dinner tonight.

   Something happened again?

   After introducing Olsen.

  Daniel did not take Xu Yun to visit the pier, but took him to choose a seat with few people.

  Lao Tang, together with Edward Bull Stanley who met in the yard, went outside to prepare the things needed for the dinner.

  After taking your seat.

  Xu Yun first glanced at the scene from the corner of his eye.

  Stanley, Tom, Daniel, Patrick Adam, Olsen, Rossetti

  Including Avelyn who has not yet arrived at the scene, he has already met seven members of the Apostle Club.

   And look around the house.

  At this time, there were two boys with the courtyard badge on their chests and the interviewers behind them, distributed in two corners.

no doubt.

  They are also current members of the Apostolic Society.

  But neither Daniel nor Lao Tang took themselves over to say hello, so the answer is obvious:

   These two are definitely not allies. No, maybe not even neutral.

   Then Xu Yun picked up a biscuit and chewed it, then glanced at Rossetti who was shaking the wine glass, and asked Daniel in a low voice:

   "Mr. Daniel, are there any conflicts between President Rossetti and Mr. Thomson?"

  Daniel glanced at him, pondered for a moment, then nodded calmly:

   "That's right, Mr. Thomson is somewhat displeased with President Rossetti's style of life, and they even ran for president together this year."

   "Although Mr. Thomson is extremely good, President Rossetti was born in the upper class after all, so..."

  Daniel left half of what he said, but Xu Yun already fully understood what he meant.

I see

   As Daniel said.

  Although Lao Tang has outstanding personal ability, the status of natural science is still not high enough these days. The Apostle Club still values ​​literary accomplishment more.

   Rossetti was the son of Gabriel Rossetti, an Italian scholar, and was born in the upper class.

  Now he is also a minor celebrity in the art world, and there are faint signs of explosion, so it is not surprising that he successfully overwhelmed Lao Tang to be elected president.

  As for why Rossetti didn’t run for president of the Student Union.

  Firstly, the President of the Association of Students looked at the comprehensive ability, and the hexagonal warrior Lao Tang was obviously able to beat Rossetti, who was serious about his subjects.

  Secondly, Rossetti is a specially recruited day student, so he is not qualified to participate in the chairman selection.

   In other words.

   Right now, one of the resistances that Lao Tang encounters in the Apostles Club should be due to Rossetti's fear.

   Exactly.

One of   .

   After all, according to the analysis of the number of members, Laotang has Stanley and Avelyn as allies, and Daniel and Olsen as neutrals, accounting for half of the members.

  Even if Lao Tang was suppressed by Rossetti, he would not be so squeezed that he didn’t even know who was selected for the interview.

so.

  The resistance that really troubled Lao Tang should come from the former apostles who have graduated.

   Just as Xu Yun was thinking to himself, an acquaintance suddenly walked into the aisle:

   Max Christian Friedrich Bruch.

  Bruch walked up to Olsen with ease, sat down and chatted with Olsen, and then raised his head to look at Xu Yun.

   After meeting eyes.

  He raised his wine glass to Xu Yun from a distance, and made a gesture of greeting.

  Xu Yun also quickly returned the same gesture to him, indicating that he had greeted him.

  After putting down the wine glass, Xu Yun gently touched his chin.

   "It turns out that the recommender behind Bruch is Olsen? Olsen seems to be a German name too?"

  As time progressed gradually, answers to some mysteries gradually appeared in front of Xu Yun.

   Then, taking advantage of the gap of chatting, Daniel also began to introduce the rest of the former apostles in the house to Xu Yun:

   "That is Mr. Edward Fitzgerald, a famous poet and translator, and also a senior I personally admire."

   "The person in front of you on the left is Imre Robin, yes, that bald head, who is now the Deputy Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Department."

   "And that one, who is even more remarkable, is called William Makepeace Thackeray."

  Daniel eloquently reviewed the characters in the house, some of whom are still famous even after more than a hundred years.

  William Makepeace Thackeray, for example.

   That's right.

   is the author of Vanity Fair.

  The novel "Vanity Fair" is recognized as a world masterpiece. Thackeray is as famous as Dickens in later generations, and is regarded by many people as a generation of literary masters.

   Another example is Edward Fitzgerald, who is also a late blooming writer:

  He won’t release his famous book, The Euphrates, until next year, and won’t reach his prime until 1859, when he publishes the Rubaiyat, at the age of fifty.

   Actually.

  Those who can enter the Cambridge Apostolic Club put aside their character issues, but in terms of ability, they don't need it. It can't be denied.

  Even Patrick Adam, who laughed at Xu Yun before, can become a well-known painter in the future.

   For later generations, that is also the middle and upper class with a net worth of tens of millions.

  His son, Patrick Adam Jr., is the author of the work "Afternoon Light".

   It can even be said so.

   Unless they are members who died young, you can more or less find traces of them in later generations.

  Maybe they don’t have a lot of traces left, but the fact that they can still be traced after a span of 170 years is remarkable in itself.

   Then more than ten minutes passed.

  Lao Tang and Stanley returned to the scene, followed by Xu Yun's old acquaintance Evelyn—she was also the only **** the scene.

  In future generations, Lao Tang and others reckon that they can be hanged and hammered by some groups for seven days and still not be the same.

  Aveline and Lao Tang also sat near Xu Yun, and a group of people gathered here, quite in a posture to compete with Rossetti.

  In the following time, other former members of the Apostolic Society arrived at the hut one after another.

  Among them are members of Dong'a San Company.

   There is also a professor at a certain university.

   There are also well-known writers or artists.

   After another quarter of an hour or so, a figure appeared around the corner.

  With the appearance of this figure, everyone including Lao Tang, Avelyn, and Rossetti stood up at the same time, and then

  Papapa—

Note:

  The power went out again. I spent a lot of time at my little uncle’s house coding on the computer. Today’s big chapter was changed to tomorrow, starting with 15,000 characters.

  However, the hand speed is limited. I probably coded all night until 6 am, and then slept until 6 pm to continue, so it may not be sent until the early morning of the 1st. Please forgive me, there will definitely be more.
