HP's Chinese Parents

As a small social expert, Roland is completely different from invisible social terror like Nick, and he will not allow the cold war to last for too long.After waiting for a few days and finding that Nick was still avoiding him, Roland knew he couldn't count on this guy.

After class, Nick was flattered when Rowland, uncomfortably, invited him to a weekend seminar instead of a cocktail party.

"Astronomy, I think it's quite interesting." Roland put one hand in his pocket and said dryly that he didn't believe it. He glanced at the ticket in his hand: "The speaker is a professor from Cambridge. , Arthur Stanley Eddington, the guy who proved Einstein's theory of relativity with a total solar eclipse, and it is said that this report is to promote his own new book."

"Oh, thank you so much, Roland." Nick quickly took the tickets with both hands, and said pleasantly: "I've heard of this report meeting before, but I didn't get tickets. I heard that because our school doesn't have an astronomy department, the tickets are directly It was divided up by other schools."

Roland hummed, scratched his head, and took out a few more tickets from his pocket and stuffed them into Nick's hands, "There are a few more, if you still have friends who are interested, give them away."

Nick thought about it, and felt that he didn't have any friends who liked astronomy, but he could take Tom with him for this kind of popular science report.Since children are interested, they must receive more orthodox academic influence. What's the use of watching with a telescope all day long?The visibility in London at night is less than five meters. Can you still see the stars?

Tom, who was looking for snakes all over the house but was stopped and told to listen to an astronomy report on the weekend:! ! !

The child was very excited to participate in this kind of activity for the first time, and he immediately forgot about Nagini who didn't know where to hide.

"Is this kind of report very formal? Do I need to wear my tuxedo?" Although he used interrogative sentences, looking at the posture of wanting to rush into the cloakroom and turn out the clothes, it was obvious that he wanted to wear it himself.

"Ah, are you talking about the new one you bought? Put it on, it's perfect." Nick pulled out a funny expression.

Very well, this answer satisfied Tom. He restrained his urge to run upstairs, and walked slowly to change his clothes as taught by the school teacher.

===================

As a result, Nick, who was pulling the child, met Alan Turing who wanted to evade the fare and slipped in at the door of the lecture hall, but was stopped by the guard!

"Ah, they forgot to leave a ticket for me." Alan tugged at the shirt that was wrinkled by the guard with a natural expression, without embarrassment at all.

Nick later speculated that Alan's classmates might not have a good relationship, otherwise, as a Cambridge student, he would not have missed the Cambridge professor's ticket under such careful circumstances.

But now he is still immersed in the happiness of the pie in the sky, he quickly took out a few extra tickets: "I happen to have extra tickets here..."

"Oh, God! That's great!" Allen interrupted him, and almost grabbed the ticket, then he looked at the stunned Tom, and felt that he should say a few more words: "Well, as In return, I can invite you to visit my laboratory."

Is this, the legendary, about, dating?At this time, the fool knew what to say, and Nick immediately finalized the matter: "It's my honor! Let's go after listening to the report!"

In the dim lecture hall, Nick sat between Tom and Allen.Above their heads is the pitch-black dome that is dotted with starry sky reflected by the planetarium, and in front of them is the white cold light reflected by the projector.The speaker, Professor Arthur Stanley Eddington, is hidden in the dim light. This old man who dedicated his life to science is rigorous and humorous.His voice has the hoarseness unique to the elderly, and with an easy-to-understand description, he tells a timeline beyond everyone's imagination:

"What is the limit that we humans can imagine?"

"After 1000 billion years, all galaxies will leave the observable universe except the local group of galaxies;"

"After 500 billion years, the cosmic microwave background radiation will cool down to below 0.3k, which cannot be detected by existing means, and the remains of the Big Bang will almost disappear;"

"After 500 billion years, the local group of galaxies will converge into a super large galaxy;"

"Between one trillion years and 100 trillion years, no new stars will be born in the universe, and all stars will successively exhaust hydrogen atoms and die continuously;"

"After 120 trillion years, only dwarf stars, neutron stars and black holes remain in the universe with massive objects;"

"After 3×10^43 years, the only remaining celestial bodies in the universe may be black holes;"

"After 1×10^106 years, the black hole will eventually disappear due to the evaporation of the black hole, and all the matter in the universe will decay into a subatomic form and fall apart! The universe will eventually die."

"After 10＾10＾120 years, the movement of all matter in the universe will be infinitely close to zero, and the universe will eventually die..."

Under the huge number, everyone felt their own insignificance.Professor Arthur Eddington paused, and continued: "Life is only a hundred years. Based on this moment, we use limited means to trace the beginning and future of the universe, and then better think about the meaning of life. This is astronomy. romantic."

Not to mention the two astronomy enthusiasts around him, even Nick, who only knows the Big Dipper, was fascinated by it.At the end of the report, Nick, who was still full of ideas, remembered that he had another date.

To his surprise, the laboratory Allen mentioned was not a professional scientific research laboratory as he imagined, but a copycat version of DIY in the basement of his home.But does it matter?It does not matter!

They hurriedly said hello to John who asked when Allen would come back, and then entered the small black room with the sign of "Unless there is a fire, no one is allowed to enter".

Allen turned on the light, the bulb flashed twice, and the warm orange light fell down.He turned around and was satisfied to see that his instruments and reagents had not been touched during his school days: "Let's take a look, here are some that I moved from my old house in the country, and some came to London It was added later."

"Cool!" Nick carefully touched the reagent bottle containing the unknown liquid under Alan's nervous gaze, "This looks like a secret base."

Considering that there is a child here, Allen chose some simple experiments and demonstrated to them the principle of making soap.The fat and lye in the cauldron gave off an unpleasant smell under the heat of the flame, making it difficult for Tom to breathe.

"I said, is this thing interesting?" Tom, who marked chemistry with a cross in his heart, couldn't help complaining.

"Don't say that," Nick retorted immediately, "Of course it's interesting, soap is definitely a great invention?"

Looking at Tom with his head full of greetings, Nick showed a disgusted expression: "You will never guess what the most widely used cleaning agent was before there was no soap."

Now even Allen, who was concentrating on stirring the crucible, looked over curiously.

"It's urine!" Nick Ninja told them with disgust, "Rome, which is now the capital of Italy, people there found that soaking beaten clothes in urine will clean them better. In fact, this is because of the ammonia gas emitted by the urine. Melting in water will make the liquid alkaline, and using alkaline water can indeed better remove dirt and oil stains on fabrics. So at that time urine could be sold for money, and the country even set up a There is a special tax item."

"evil!"

Ignoring the details, Nick thought it was a perfect day.He also got the qualification to communicate with Allen by virtue of his perfect performance!Allen expressed his willingness to discuss some interesting topics with him in the letter!

Regretfully rejecting John's dinner invitation, Nick walked home happily holding Tom in his arms, "I always feel like I forgot something!"

Tom gave him a tired look, then changed into a comfortable position and fell asleep.
