Into Unscientific

Although as a male with a normal orientation, Xu Yun really wanted to give Darwin's bald head two brains.

But thinking that this person is indeed a pure scientist, he still decided to have a good communication with the other party.

Of course.

Check the body.rmvb is definitely not there.

Then Xu Yun led Darwin to a quieter place, and went to the public drinking area to fetch two glasses of water.

Bakelite was not officially invented until 1907, so these days public drinking water areas are dominated by wooden cups, which are sterilized with hot water.

After taking a seat.

Xu Yun pondered for a moment, pushed a glass of water in front of Darwin, and asked him:

"Mr. Darwin, are you an assistant or professor at Cambridge University?"

Darwin shook his head, took out an alumni card from his body, and gently raised it:

"No, I'm currently working for the British Academy of Nature, and I have no business relationship with Cambridge University."

"However, I am a student who graduated from Cambridge University, so I can still sneak into the library to look up information."

Xu Yun nodded thoughtfully.

He originally thought that history had changed, and Darwin had also become a professor at Cambridge University.

Now it seems.

Timelines don't have much of an effect on the biographies of famous people.

For example, William Whewell is still the dean of Trinity College, Stokes is still a professor who entered the school in 1849, and now Darwin is added.

However, regardless of whether the timeline changes or not, Darwin, the big brother Xu Yun, will definitely make friends.

But before that, he had to give up the idea of ​​greedy for his body.

Then Xu Yun was silent for a few seconds, organized his words, and said:

"Mr. Darwin, to tell you the truth, in fact, the body structure of Orientals is not much different from that of Europeans. They both have 206 bones—at most, some LSPs have 207 bones."

"It's just that what we pay attention to is the skill of exerting force and using force to exert force, so there are often situations where there are some situations where four or two pull a thousand catties."

Speaking of which, he pointed to Darwin's arm, then raised the back of his palm, and explained:

"For example, just now your arm was stretched out to me in a horizontal posture. I only need to follow your movement and press down on your wrist, and I can use the inertia to counteract it. It is commonly known as hair extension."

Although the Master Ma of Hunyuan Tai Chi in the later generations is a complete joke, the five lightning whips he advertised are also nonsense.

But the three words "Jiehuafa" are different. They are not words created by Mr. Ma, but are very common in practical use.

Like many fighting methods in later generations and the fighting methods taught by special forces and armed police, the core is also inseparable from the concept of receiving hair.

To put it bluntly, it is to follow the opponent's inertia to counter.

There is also the tumbling unloading force in parkour, which also relies on inertia to protect the body.

This is an empirical classification, and it is not a unique skill of Mr. Ma.

It's just because Mr. Ma's quotations are so classic and joyful at the same time.

So many people will naturally hook up with Mr. Ma when they hear "Jianhuafa".

"Are you using your strength?"

Darwin repeated the concept Xu Yun said, stretched out his hands and gestured, and then confirmed to Xu Yun:

"So this student, is it true that there are no immortals in the East who can ascend to heaven and earth?"

Xu Yun shook his head decisively.

Although the word sword fairy is very attractive, there is still a big difference between reality and fantasy:

"of course not."

When Darwin heard this, a trace of regret and relief appeared on his face.

It's a pity that because he is a naturalist, his curiosity about the mysterious side is much higher than that of ordinary people.

Just like many bloggers who refute ufo rumors in later generations, they are actually more eager to discover UFOs than ordinary people.

Now that I know that there is no immortal in the East, regret is an emotion that will inevitably appear.

As for relief.

It is because the Orientals have not transcended the concept of human beings, which is in line with some of the theories he has drawn so far.

If there really are gods in the east, then it means that the research that I have spent nearly twenty years on has no ground to stand on.

Then Xu Yun paused, and asked Darwin again:

"Mr. Darwin, you just said that you are studying the human body?"

Darwin came back to his senses, touched his bald head, and replied:

"It can't be regarded as research. In the early years, I traveled around the sea with a captain and found some fossils on some islands."

"how to say"

Darwin gave a slight 'tsk' a few times, and after some hesitation, he said:

"I found that the creatures on the earth seem to be undergoing a long-term evolution. Or the process of morphological evolution."

Xu Yun raised his eyelids and glanced at him, pretending to half understand and asking:

"Morphological evolution? Mr. Lamarck's use-it-or-lose-it theory?"

Lamarck is a big guy who is also called the founder of biology. For example, the concept of "invertebrates" was proposed by him.

The use-it-waste-it theory he put forward in 1809 is also the earliest theory of evolution in human history.

It's just that compared with Darwin, Lamarck's name is much smaller.

Just like many people only know that Mavericks derived the formula of universal gravitation, but they don't know the role of Hooke in it.

Lamarck thought.

The organs of organisms will become developed when they are used frequently, and they will gradually degenerate if they are not used frequently.

Just like the brain, the more you think and use it, the more flexible it becomes.

And the more lazy and inactive the brain, the brain will be like a rusty chain, making it difficult to function normally.

This kind of statement still had a market in the early days of modern biology, and was once regarded as the truth by many people.

But later generations who engage in biology know it.

The use-it-or-waste-it theory is a relatively idealistic theory, and it has no problem with individual variation, but it is not very applicable in terms of race.

Because the theory of progress, waste and retreat believes that evolution and degeneration are only changes in organs, and genetic genes remain unchanged.

Like a fish in the deep sea.

Because there is no light in the deep sea, deep sea fish basically have no vision, and the function of the eyes will degenerate.

But according to Lamarck's thinking, the genes of these fish will not change.

Therefore, all newly born deep-sea fish will have eyesight, and will have eyes like little swallows, and then slowly degenerate.

And this is obviously not in line with the actual situation.

But still that sentence.

The level of science and technology of later generations is different from that of ancient and modern times, and the level of scientific theory is also very different.

Some very simple truths in later generations may still belong to front-end theories in 1850 when there was no relevant accumulation.

Therefore, after hearing Xu Yun's use-for-use-it-waste theory, Darwin immediately became interested:

"My theory is not fully formed, but it is slightly different from Mr. Lamarck's use it or lose it theory."

"Mr. Lamarck believes that the inheritance of offspring will not change, and the evolution of the individual will be determined by the individual itself, which belongs to the standard idealistic concept."

"And I think evolution should be a process of joint genetic optimization. Organisms will evolve according to their environment, thus giving birth to different species, including .

Darwin suddenly stopped talking.

He looked around and then at Xu Yun.

Secretly thinking that the other party should not be a pious believer, he continued:

"Including humans."

After speaking, Darwin stared closely at Xu Yun's left hand.

I'm afraid that this young man will start a violent fight.

After all, creationism is still a very marketable concept these days, not to mention that Trinity College is still a seminary, and the number of believers and Billy have always been the highest among Cambridge University.

soon.

Under Darwin's gaze, Xu Yun raised his left hand, and then...

Picked up the water glass and took a sip of water.

Darwin:

"????"

Wait for Xu Yun to put down the water glass.

Darwin touched his bald head again, and asked with surprise:

"This classmate, aren't you surprised?"

"Call me Luo Feng, Mr. Darwin."

Xu Yun first introduced his name, and then asked:

"Surprised? Why should you be surprised?"

After he finished speaking, he paused and gave an example:

"It is rumored that there is a snake breeder in the east named Dashewan, who is very familiar with snakes on land."

"As a result, once he went to the seaside, he found that the snakes in the sea were obviously different from the snakes on land in shape."

"For example, terrestrial snakes are round in shape, while sea snakes have a flattened tail, which is easy to swim like fish."

"Later, he put forward a hypothesis that animals will optimize themselves according to the environment and pass it on to the next generation. Some creatures with different appearances may have the same ancestor thousands of years ago."

"Wonderful!"

As soon as Xu Yun spoke, Darwin stood up suddenly, put his hands on the table, and asked:

"Student Luo Feng, where is that Orochimaru from? Is he still alive?"

at the same time.

Darwin suddenly felt a sense of joy in meeting a confidant on the road of seeking.

Although he has been establishing the theoretical basis of species evolution over the years, many acquaintances also think that he got his thinking inspiration from the seabird fossils in Puerto Praia.

But only Darwin himself knew.

He really began to pay attention to the cause of species being affected by the environment, which actually came down to a sea snake caught by the crew!

That was when the Beagle sailed into the Strait of Magellan near the west coast of South America.

One morning, the boat encountered a mackerel tide, and the crew started fishing with howls.

As a result, one of the crew members did not know whether it was good luck or bad luck when casting the net, and accidentally caught a long-nosed sea snake.

Later, while eating sea snake hot pot, Darwin suddenly discovered that the bones of sea snakes were completely different from those of land snakes.

One vertical and one flat can be combined into a Cartesian coordinate system.

So Darwin began to pay attention to the relevant situation. After eating and studying hundreds of sea snakes in the whole ship, Darwin finally made a guess:

This is because snakes actually have the same ancestor as terrestrial snakes, but they have structural variations to adapt to life in the sea, and they have innate heredity!

Darwin kept this secret in his heart all the time, but he unexpectedly found out today that someone in the East also discovered a similar situation?

So almost in a split second.

Darwin regarded Orochimaru, whom he had never met, as his confidant.

Compared to the excited Darwin, Xu Yun was much calmer.

After all, this is what Darwin wrote in his autobiography.

How can it be counted as plagiarism when it comes to scholars?

Then he motioned Darwin to sit down, calmed his breath, and said:

"Sorry, Mr. Darwin, Mr. Orochimaru was a character hundreds of years ago, and naturally he is no longer alive now."

"Oh, is he dead?"

Darwin opened his mouth, shook his head and sighed:

"what a pity."

Then Xu Yun asked again:

"By the way, Mr. Darwin, how is your progress in related theories now?"

Darwin shook his head, pointed to a book on the table, and replied:

"To tell you the truth, the theory of evolution is just a temporary conjecture on my part, and I haven't written my horoscope yet. Now my main energy is still on geological evolution."

"Here, this book is the professional content of geology."

Xu Yun glanced at him, but didn't expose his lie.

Noisy.

If it was just a temporary conjecture, would you immediately have the urge to study the body structure after seeing me, an oriental man?

Will the entire theory of evolution be published in a book four years after the death of her daughter Annie?

There may be nothing wrong with saying that the main energy lies in geology, but Darwin's understanding of the theory of evolution at this time is obviously not as simple as a conjecture.

At the very least, he should have half a theory in his mind.

It's just that Darwin hasn't experienced the pain of bereavement, so he still has some fears about creationism and doesn't dare to tell the truth.

correct.

Speaking of his daughter, Xu Yun suddenly remembered something, and said to Darwin:

"Mr. Darwin, I remember that the British Academy of Natural Sciences is in Manchester, why are you here?"

"Will be in London?"

Darwin smiled indifferently. He was used to this question, so he explained:

"My wife and I have moved to Dawen House outside London eight years ago, and we are mainly responsible for publishing books, so we only need to go to Manchester once a month."

"Besides, my eldest daughter's health is not very good recently, so I go less often. At most, I occasionally come to the Cambridge University library to look up information or meet friends."

Xu Yun's heart trembled, and he asked:

"Not in good health?"

Darwin and his wife Emma are cousins, and they are considered close relatives, so the health of their offspring is generally very bad.

Three of their ten children died, and three of the remaining seven were infertile for life.

The death of his eldest daughter Anne pushed Darwin to an extreme:

During Anne's illness, Darwin almost became the most devout believer, praying and repenting day and night, but in the end he couldn't save Anne's life.

This is also one of the reasons why "Origin of Species" has some extreme emotions as mentioned earlier.

Just like the protagonists in the famous "Little Cutie, Get Your Money Back", they even covered their faces with paint in order to support the national team. It is absolutely impossible for them to be fake fans.

As a result, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

The national football team lost unexpectedly, and each of them turned black in an instant, and golden sentences appeared frequently, creating an out-of-the-box meme.

Xu Yun didn't intend to comment too much on beliefs, and it's not a bad thing to have a spiritual sustenance.

But from the perspective of the development of the history of science, Darwin's blackening is obviously not a good thing.

It has led to the preservation of many problems that can be explained even at this point in time, and has caused many loopholes in the logic of evolution theory beyond belief, thus greatly affecting the development of modern evolution theory.

So out of emotion and reason, Xu Yun hoped to see if there was a way to save such a little girl.

After all, she was only ten years old when she died.

As for the cause of Annie's death, perhaps it was due to the medical relationship at the time, but it is still a mystery.

Later generations of medical scientists can only analyze Darwin's diary and judge three possibilities.

They are:

Tuberculosis, scarlet fever, and coronary heart disease.

It was already the end of 1850, and Christmas would be in one and a half months.

Follow the historical trajectory.

Anne will die in 1851 - Xu Yun can't remember the exact month, but considering the characteristics of the above diseases, the possibility of onset in spring and summer is very high.

Think here.

Xu Yun pondered for a moment, pretended to be curious, and asked Darwin:

"Mr. Darwin, may I ask, what are the symptoms of your daughter's illness?"

"To tell you the truth, there are some special medicines in the east, which may be able to help a little."

Darwin was slightly taken aback.

The East has always been synonymous with mystery in Europe, not to mention that there have been strange people like Fat Fish in history, so Darwin really didn't question Xu Yun's statement.

He recalled for a moment and said:

"Annie has two symptoms. One is tightness in the front chest. Sometimes there will be cramps in the heart, weakness, and weak breathing."

"The other is fatigue, night sweats, hotness, and occasionally a slight low-grade fever"

Hearing this, Xu Yun couldn't help but clenched his fists a little bit.

The former of which Darwin was referring is obviously a symptom like angina pectoris, but the latter.

How do you feel a bit like the incubation period of tuberculosis?

To know.

Although tuberculosis in 2022 is not terminally ill, the treatment process is not simple.

Even if the industrial productivity of this dungeon is close to 1900, it is still a difficult problem to treat tuberculosis.

Think here.

Xu Yun reached into his pocket and took out a small bottle.

He had learned in Hamilton's book before that although nitroglycerin tablets have been found to be useful in the treatment of coronary heart disease, they are still a very difficult product to prepare.

Even the medical laboratories of the Royal Society of England can only preliminarily prepare tablets.

Forget about Darwin.

Even William Whewell, head of Trinity College, had little access to such things.

That is to say, people have realized the effect of nitroglycerin on the heart, and can preliminarily prepare some semi-finished products. The technology is up to the standard, but the specific trimming process still needs to be tried.

Then Xu Yun poured out four small white pills from the small bottle, and wrapped them in the handkerchief that he carried with him that hadn't blown his nose.

Handed over to Darwin, enjoined:

"Mr. Darwin, please put away these pills first."

"If your daughter has angina again, let her take a tablet of this medicine sublingually, and let me know if it works."

"I live in dormitory 302 of Fiola's postgraduate dormitory. You can come to me whenever you need it."

Darwin took the handkerchief, and this time he didn't say anything to make me feel good, but solemnly put it in his inner chest pocket:

"I hope it will be useful to borrow your good words. Thank you, classmate Luo Feng."
