Live Wilderness Challenge

"The professor is polite."

After Chen Xu shook his hand, he followed him to the office.

As for Weiss and others, they were arranged by Michelle in the lounge.

Sergey's office is very simple, just the most basic desk, bookcase, coffee table, and sofa.

After a while, his student got two cups of coffee, and the conversation between the two officially started.

"I'm here this time, mainly to ask you about the freshwater creatures in the primeval rainforest."

After Chen Xu took a sip of coffee, he spoke bluntly and briefly told Sergey the task he was about to challenge in this live broadcast.

After hearing this, he pursed his lips and pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Your challenge is too difficult and too dangerous!"

"It's not that I don't know your skills, but Borneo is not like Guatemala. It can be named as the Amazon and the Congo Basin. It is extremely dangerous. You should know that the leopards, reticulated pythons, and Burmese pythons on land , the estuarine crocodiles and giant catfish in the water are all creatures that can easily kill people."

"Don't say you don't have professional equipment. Even if you do, it's hard to catch. These giant freshwater beasts, without exception, are ancient creatures that have lived for hundreds of millions of years. They can survive for such a long time. They all have their own unique survival skills."

"For example, the famous alligator gar in North America is hidden in the deep water during the day, and only comes out at night. Do you dare to go out in the jungle waters at night? Moreover, you can at least see large creatures, and those small creatures in the water What about creatures?"

"Blood sucking worms, burrowing fish, these small creatures that are often overlooked by people are the most terrifying and deadly. In short, from my standpoint of knowledge, I do not recommend that you go to Borneo alone!"

Sergey's current position is destined to stand at the top of the pyramid of human biology.

Therefore, Chen Xu had to pay attention to his words.

However, he does not have a task modifier, so he cannot modify the system tasks, that is to say, task one still has to be done.

"Professor, I know that this live broadcast will be very dangerous, so I came here to ask you about the ancient mysterious creatures in Borneo, especially the freshwater creatures."

Speaking of this, Chen Xu's tone was obviously serious, "There are some impossible things that always need someone to challenge, I hope you can believe me!"

"Hehe, if my students had half of your bold and adventurous spirit, the results of the Irish giant deer project would have already been known!"

Hearing his last words, Sergey couldn't help flashing a hint of appreciation in his eyes, "Okay, then I'll tell you something I know about the creatures in Borneo..."

Chapter 658 Make a fool of yourself in public class?

All afternoon, Sergey was in the office telling Chen Xu about the biology of Indonesian Borneo.

The coffee on the table has been changed twice, and then it was replaced with water.

While Chen Xu was listening, he came across some important knowledge from time to time, and made a special recording.

Sergey is indeed a professor at the world's top universities. His deep understanding of biology, especially his specialization in paleontology, is really admirable.

Originally, Chen Xu's extreme wilderness skills contained information on wild creatures, but after listening to his explanation, many knowledge points have been updated.

Just like that, before I knew it, Michelle came over again to remind me: "Professor, Mr. Chen, it's past six o'clock, and it's less than half an hour away. It's Mr. Chen's public class. Look..."

"So it's been so long!"

Sergey looked at his watch and smiled in surprise, "Okay, let's come here first today, and we'll talk after you finish the open class!"

"it is good!"

Chen Xu picked up the recording pen and followed him and Michelle to the teaching building of the School of Biotechnology.

On the way, Weiss and Kai Keli also followed.

In the past, they have also participated in many public lectures at universities, but none of them have reached the level of Stanford.

You must know that those who can give public lectures at the world's top academic universities are, without exception, the president of the United States, the CEO of Apple, the chief operating officer of Facebook, and the founder of PayPal.

Therefore, Chen Xu is not yet at the level of a Stanford speaker.

This is not to look down on his fame or ability, but his academic achievements in the professional field. At present, there is no clear "achievement", such as publishing academic papers, such as professional titles and so on.

After all, academia is serious.

But Sergey firmly believed in his ability, so he forced the principal of the School of Biotechnology to apply for the open class of the school. As a professor with senior qualifications, he still has some power.

Therefore, this time, Chen Xu also came to the lecture hall of Stanford University as a media person for the first time.

In the dressing room, Chen Xu changed into another outfit, a blue casual shirt with the cuffs rolled up to the upper forearm, beige outdoor trousers, and a pair of brown flip leather casual shoes. style.

After a while, Michelle led him, Weiss and others to the gate of the auditorium.

Several people peeked through the crack of the door, and couldn't help but be taken aback.

The auditorium of the Stanford School of Biotechnology is a stepped auditorium of an old university, with white wall paint, windows blocked by purple curtains, yellow tables and chairs, a stage wrapped in red blankets, peach wood lecture tables, and of course, A huge projection screen lit up.

What surprised them was that they didn't expect that there would be so many students present tonight. Looking around, they were all heads, and there were almost no empty seats.

"Chen Xu, are you nervous?"

Kejili glanced at it, then asked with a smile.

"well enough!"

There was no pressure on Chen Xu's face. After all, he had been broadcasting live for so long, so he still had some quality in his heart.

At this time, a beautiful host suddenly came up on the stage: "Hi everyone, I am the host of this open speech class at Stanford University's School of Biotechnology, Meris."

"Tonight, we are honored to invite the world's top outdoor wilderness expert: Mr. Chen Xu to tell me about one of human instincts: survival!"

There is no fancy video, and there is no awesome opening remarks, Chen Xu was introduced just like that.

The next moment, the gate opened, and the staff reminded him that he could enter now.

So, Chen Xu exhaled, and quickly ran into the venue.

And as he walked into the auditorium, the audience immediately became restless, and many people began to applaud.

Walking to the microphone at the lecture table in the center of the stage, Chen Xu curled his mouth and smiled at the audience: "Thank you Stanford University, thank you to the Dean of the School of Biotechnology, Professor Sergey, and everyone who came to listen to my speech today. Hello everyone, I am Chen Xu!"

"Oh--!"

At the end, Master Xu's iconic opening remark instantly ignited the atmosphere of the audience, and many fanatical fans who liked him took the lead in screaming.

"To be honest, I am very excited now, not only because I am standing on the podium of Stanford University, but also because I finally have the opportunity to discuss with you a skill that we must master from birth: survival!"

"In nature, no matter any living thing, from the moment it gains life, it faces the most basic goal: survival, and we humans are the same, from birth to death, we have been living and trying to survive."

"Whether it's from the era of reason, when apes made weapons and hunted, or in modern society, people are running around for money. The fundamental explanation is that these are survivals. Survival is everywhere. As long as we are alive, because survival is the same as breathing. Primal instinct."

"Even now, when facing strangers around you, you will subconsciously stay away and stay close to your friends. This is the most basic point in self-protection and avoiding danger!"

After a simple opening remark, Chen Xu quickly entered the state.

Although the students at Stanford University are excellent, this parallel world does not pay much attention to the outdoors, survival, and survival after all. In addition, he has the extreme wilderness skills of the epic level, and there is no doubt about his professionalism.

However, some students still expressed doubts about him. Among them, a black man sitting in the front row even raised his hand on the spot.

Seeing this, Chen Xu smiled and said, "This classmate, what questions do you have?"

This black man is actually a sociology student from the Faculty of Arts next door. He didn't know Chen Xu at first, but he was dragged here by his girlfriend from the Biology Faculty tonight, "Sir, I just heard you say that survival is everywhere, and The examples cited are somewhat incomprehensible.”

"In fact, since human beings entered modern civilization, there has been no threat to life from Huang Jing. Technology is advancing, the economy is developing, and the social security system is improving. Even if people do not work, they can still receive subsistence allowances."

"The reason why they are desperately looking for a job is only due to social pressure, because they want to live a better life, including staying away from strangers and being close to friends. These are just unspoken rules of social distance. No one will think that these strange classmates It will threaten your life!"

"So, I think that in modern society, human beings no longer need to survive. The problem of survival has been solved. Human survival instincts are slowly disappearing. What we should really think about is how to make better progress and live a better life. It's our goal!"

When the black people said this, some people thought about it and felt that it made sense.

All of a sudden, everyone started talking in low voices.

In the front row of the auditorium, Weiss, Twitter, and Kai Keli looked at each other, and they couldn't help worrying that Chen Xu would be questioned by that black student. If this was the case, it would be embarrassing if he made a fool of himself in the public class.

But Professor Sergey next to him didn't show any worried look, he seemed to be very confident in Chen Xu's talent.

On the podium, after listening to the black student's explanation, Chen Xu didn't answer.

The next moment, without saying a word, he picked up the base of the microphone and threw it towards the table in the front row!

boom--!

Chapter 659 Papapa——!

"what--!"

Chen Xu's smash was so sudden that some students in the front row screamed subconsciously.

Especially those closest to the sound, they closed their eyes in fright, shrunk their bodies, and put their hands in front of them. The black student's reaction was the most intense.

And the other students next to them subconsciously dodged to both sides, symmetrical like a fan.

But the next moment, when they slowly opened their eyes, they found that the microphone stand just hit the side of the front row table, not directly at them.

However, everyone still had expressions of surprise and astonishment.

Including the academy leaders sitting in the first row, even Weiss, Terry, and Kai Keli were completely dumbfounded.

This kid... what is he doing?

Dare to get angry and smash things in public class, is he fucking crazy?

This is Stanford!

Never before in the history of Stanford's public speaking class has anyone acted so outrageously!

At this moment, many people thought that Chen Xu got angry and threw things at him because he made things difficult for the black student and couldn't answer the questions.

At the same time, the black man was also furious, why is this Chinese man so barbaric!

However, just when he was about to get angry and question him.

Chen Xu was in front of him, and suddenly said with a smile: "Everyone, please maintain your current posture and don't move!"

"You can look at yourself and then look at others. This is the most basic self-protection instinct of human beings when they encounter danger, that is, the survival instinct."

As soon as this sentence was said, all the students subconsciously looked at themselves, and then turned to look at others.

Sure enough, a considerable number of students in the front row covered their faces or chests with their hands in a standard self-protection action.

"Please forgive me for my rudeness just now, but only the reaction in this unexpected state is the most real."

Chen Xu apologized first, then pressed the controller in his hand, and the projection slide behind him also changed to a blurred surveillance photo, in which a group of Americans faced the explosion of the building, Protect yourself subconsciously.

"Have you seen the photo behind me? This is a surveillance photo of the site of the 9.11 bombing, a famous terrorist incident in the United States. What do you see?"

The audience couldn't help being startled when they saw it. In the photos, the actions of those people were almost exactly the same as their current appearance, like a complete replica.

"Amazing……"

"Yeah, almost exactly the same!"

"What's strange? This is just human instinct, right?"

……

"This classmate talks a lot! It's instinct!"

When Chen Xu heard a classmate's voice, he immediately followed up with affirmation, and then continued to speak: "Not only you, but also in China, in Europe, in the whole world, and even in the animal world: primates, cats, Canines and everything, in the first moment of danger, will instinctively protect their weak spots."

"I don't think you have ever learned this kind of movement in school, and even if you have, you have never rehearsed together, right? But look around you, everyone's movements are surprisingly consistent, even if they are carefully It's hard to be so neat after practicing several times, right?"

Although the black man didn't want to admit it, American education once mentioned that you should cover your head with your hands and hide in a safe place when you encounter danger.

But looking at the entire auditorium, everyone is just "turning their heads, closing their eyes, and blocking with their hands" these basic instinctive actions.

"Only the most basic primitive instinct does not require acquired training, and it is also the fastest. The reaction you made just now was almost done the moment I threw the microphone stand."

"This speed has almost reached the human reflex arc limit of 0.2 seconds. If it is acquired training, it will not be able to reach this speed. If it can be achieved, then I really want to congratulate you. If you change to participate in competitive sports, you will definitely Become a world champion!"

"So, our survival instincts have never been forgotten. They are deeply engraved in our bones. Even in modern society, we still face various dangers such as car accidents, earthquakes, rainstorms, and fires."

"And when we really encounter these emergencies, if you have not received professional training, if no one else is around, then the only thing that can save you is your own survival instinct!"

These few paragraphs of Chen Xu spoke forcefully.

Combined with the PPT behind him, there are all theories and cases, which directly shocked all the students in the audience. All of a sudden, the entire auditorium immediately became quiet.

After a second of silence:

Clap clap——! ! !

Suddenly, a burst of thunderous applause came from the audience, and everyone raised their hands excitedly.
