Into Unscientific

Chapter 329 Recasting the glory of the Hooker family, my generation is not righteous. Huh? (8.2K)

"."

To be honest.

In fact, when I first saw this young man who was doing nothing.

Xu Yun was somewhat puzzled.

A group of me walked around the expo in a good manner, why would someone come out with a hostile face to provoke for no reason?

Playing games to pull monsters is good enough to get an A, I don't look so bad, right?

But after knowing the identity of the other party.

Although Xu Yun's mood became more and more complicated, he completely understood the reason why the other party was hostile to him.

after all

He is a descendant of Robert Hooke.

There is one thing to say.

This is the old enemy of the Mavericks.

The root cause of the conflict between the two lies in the grievances of Mavericks' teacher Baro, who is the previous generation:

Back then, in a certain Oxford-Cambridge match, Barrow kept a secret and snatched away Hook's unrequited love, Ilo Bryce.

So after graduation, Hook first challenged Barrow.

There was no such thing as Xu Yun around Mavericks in history, so Barrow couldn't solve Hook's problem and was humiliated in public.

The mentor of the calf, who only enjoyed the first half of his life, resigned from Professor Lucas two years later and died of depression.

Then when Maverick first entered the Royal Society, Hook claimed that he had already invented the cow anti-telescope, and attacked Maverick again.

The two fought in the dark, and fought to the edge of the physical world, almost obliterating the Dao.

Although the Mavericks are the ultimate victors.

But when he first entered the Royal Society and his wings were not yet fully fledged, he also suffered from the overwhelming pressure from Hooker.

This kind of pressure caused Maverick's temperament to become more extremely self-interested, which had a great impact on his reputation in later generations.

And in the copy.

Due to the appearance of Xu Yun, the Mavericks replaced Barrow to defuse Hooker's fatal blow.

And according to the deduction results show

Although Hook did not end up with an ending where no portraits could be preserved as in history, he was more murderous in nature:

April 1672.

Hooker proposed the concept that light waves are transverse waves, but was slapped in the face by Mavericks with the dispersion equation a month later.

March 1674.

Hooke developed the theory of planetary motion.

But before the letter was sent, Mavericks disclosed the square ratio formula of the elliptical orbit.

August of the same year.

Maverick proposed Hooke's law originally proposed by Hooke in 1678 as "Newton's Law of Mechanics", and the limelight was the same for a while.

Hooker, who found that the road ahead was dead, shifted his energy to the field of optical instruments, but two weeks before the relevant theory was about to break through, he saw the refraction angle product formula released by Mavericks.

1675.

Hooke developed the balance spring.

Although Mavericks did not announce the scientific research progress during the same period, on the day when Hooker’s thesis was published, Elo Bryce, the senior sister whom Hooker had a crush on, gave birth to Barrow’s third child.

It hurts, it hurts. JPG.

Of course.

Perhaps it is also because Hooker did not cause much damage to the Mavericks in this timeline.

Although Hook in the copy is a bit miserable, the main blow still comes from psychology.

Physiologically, he died unexpectedly, and left behind many heirs, who have been multiplying healthily until now.

"Luo Feng, after Sir Newton became the President of the Royal Society, he still retained the membership of Robert Hooke, and his descendants were able to continue to engage in scientific research."

"Just because of the grievances of the ancestors, the relationship between the two families of Escu and Hook has not been harmonious for a long time."

Glancing at Sissoko with his hands in his pockets, Lao Tang quickly introduced the situation of this descendant of Hook to Xu Yun:

"Robert Hooke entered Oxford University in 1653 and graduated with a master's degree in 1663. He is an Oxford man through and through."

"So Hooke's descendants are naturally proud to be admitted to Oxford University."

"This young man named Hisoko Hooker is the eldest son of the Hooker family. He is romantic by nature, but he is very capable. Be careful."

Xu Yun nodded thoughtfully.

Hooker and the calf, Oxford and Cambridge.

Adding the two buffs together, it's normal for Sissoko to jump out.

And just as Xu Yun and Lao Tang were whispering.

Avelyn gently pushed a strand of hair behind her ear, and looked indifferently at the bad-looking Hisokho Hook in front of her:

"Student Sissoko, this is the exhibition hall of the Industrial Expo. As a visitor to the exhibition, you seem to have no right to stop us here."

Clinker Hisoko Hook shrugged indifferently, and replied:

"Student Avelyn, who stopped you?"

"I'm just asking you to take a closer look, this is the booth of Oxford University, okay?"

"As the president of the Students' Union of Oxford University, is there any problem for me to receive tourists here? ——If I remember correctly, you should be the ones who bumped into them first."

Evelyn froze for a moment.

After regaining her senses, she immediately raised her head and looked up.

as expected.

In the sky above where they were, a badge floated impressively at this time:

The appearance of the coat of arms is a dark blue circle surrounded by a sash, and in the center is engraved with an open book surrounded by three crowns.

Two of them are on the top and one is on the bottom.

As a deadly enemy in a certain sense, Avelyn naturally recognized the origin of the badge at a glance:

Coat of arms of the University of Oxford.

The belt represents faith and prayer.

Books represent knowledge.

The three crowns represent the separation of powers.

A crown is down, which indicates Oxford's famous Queen's College, and also indicates the Queen.

Speaking of the queen, I don’t know what happened to Queen Elizabeth II when Xu Yun traveled through time. It is said that she has already entered the emergency room

Then Avelyn glanced behind Hisoko Hook again.

I saw that seven or eight meters away from this descendant of Hook, there is indeed an exhibition hall covering a very large area.

The flow of people inside was surging, and it was very lively, and there were exclamations from time to time.

It is clear.

In a hurry to leave the booth of the water heater, the group of them arrived at the headquarters of Oxford University at the World Expo without paying attention.

Seeing that Aveline remained silent, a smug flash of pride flashed in Hisoko Hooker's eyes, and he continued:

"Student Avelyn, Mr. Fat Yu once said a word called 'Anyway, it's here'."

"Now that you have also arrived at the Oxford Exhibition Corner, why don't you follow me for a stroll. If you don't welcome a guest, you will be treated as a disrespect."

"To tell you the truth, our booth is quite big. Welcome to visit our booth. If you are tired from visiting, you can go to sleep, no problem."

Hearing this, Avelyn's beautiful brows frowned indiscernibly.

She and Sissoko are feuds in both family and school. Unless the Mavericks and Hooker are resurrected from the coffin and shake hands to make peace, no one can eliminate the hatred.

Although this kind of hatred will not touch personal safety, within the framework of certain conditions, there is no so-called bottom line.

For example, attacking the other party academically, or embarrassing the other party on important occasions.

None of these things require any holding back.

Obviously, there is no academic discussion link in today's expo, so Sissoko's purpose is naturally the latter.

Think here.

Avelyn couldn't help but turned her head and looked at Lao Tang.

The eyes of the two touched lightly in the air, and they immediately understood each other's thoughts:

Check it out!

After all, the other party had already put on a welcoming posture, and among my group was the president of the Cambridge Students' Association and a descendant of Newton, refusing to go to the booth would inevitably lead to ridicule.

This kind of public opinion is different from the criticism Avelyn encountered. The latter was aimed at Avelyn personally, while the former was aimed at Cambridge University.

besides

Although Sissoko Hook has a high probability of jumping in the face next.

But since he wants to show off his achievements, he will inevitably reveal a lot of key information.

If you can get useful information, it's not a problem to let him show his prestige for the time being.

Anyway, my family knows my own affairs.

As soon as the analysis machine is launched, Hisoko Hooker will have to return all the prestige he displayed today.

There is a good saying.

Running fast does not necessarily mean winning, not falling is success.

So Evelyn raised her eyelids and glanced at Sissoko, nodded and said:

"good."

Sissoko was overjoyed.

Then he took Avelyn, Xu Yun and others a short walk back, and arrived at the Oxford University exhibition site.

Founded in 1249 AD, Oxford University is the oldest top university in the UK and ranks fourth in the world.

Therefore, the expo arranged a huge booth for the sake of face, and the area was about three to four times that of the Qing Dynasty.

Even in all areas of today's exhibition, this specification can be ranked among the top few.

When Xu Yun and others came to the edge of the Oxford exhibition area, they saw a very strange equipment at first sight:

There were more than a dozen transparent glass bottles placed in a circle on a table, and each bottle was filled with half a bottle of water.

There is a small bell hanging on the top of the bottle.

This moment.

Most of the dozen or so bells were jingling, and a large group of spectators surrounded them, chattering non-stop.

Seeing this, Mai Mai couldn't help but stepped forward to observe for a few seconds, then returned to the crowd and said:

"Mr. Luo Feng, the bottle contains leeches."

Riemann on the side was slightly taken aback, and said in surprise:

"leech?"

Looking at Riemann's surprised expression, the corners of Sissoko's mouth curled up slightly.

Although I don't know Riemann's identity, it is a very pleasant thing to be able to make Avelyn's friend lose his temper.

So Sissoko coughed lightly, ready to explain the principle of the device that Oxford University has studied for four years:

"without"

It turned out that the word was right, and before the word was exported, Riemann clapped his hands and suddenly said:

"Oh, I see, this should be a leech barometer?"

Sissoko:

"?"

Riemann didn't care about his abnormality, but gestured his hands a few times in the air, and said eloquently:

"The bottle was half filled with water, a string hung in the middle, and a bell was attached to the outside of the string, and the body of the bottle that wasn't covered by water was covered with talcum powder."

"If the outside world is normal, the leech will stay on the bottom of the bottle."

"But when the atmospheric pressure drops before the rain, the humidity on the ground increases, and the oxygen dissolved in the water decreases, it will climb up the rope to absorb oxygen."

"In this way, the bell will start ringing to remind you."

A flash of approval flashed in Xu Yun's eyes.

As Riemann said.

This is a very early but useful principle of biological early warning, using the sensitivity of leeches to air pressure.

This device quickly spread to the world after its appearance, and until the 1980s, some areas in my country were still using leech barometers to warn the weather.

Riemann's teacher, Gauss, was a good geography expert, and he and Weber worked together to create the magnetometer.

Therefore, it is normal for Riemann to be able to see the principle at a glance.

Then Riemann suddenly thought of something, shook his head, and glanced at the equipment not far away with some regret:

"Unfortunately, the design of this set of equipment is not perfect-more than ten bottles are placed to ensure the accuracy rate. Only when more than half of the bells ring together can it be regarded as an alarm."

"But if a few leeches ring the bell, it's unpredictable, and it's easy to make noise to harass others."

"So...why don't designers design a circuit?"

"For example, every time a leech is moved, a certain amount of current X will be increased. When the current reaches 6X, the circuit will be turned on and the switch will be turned on. Wouldn't this prevent the bell from disturbing others?"

There are two more question marks on Sissoko's face:

"???"

Forefather Hook, who is this tmd? ?

This leech barometer is the result of four years of observation and experimentation at Oxford University. As a result, this oily man who doesn't even speak English clearly understands it at a glance, and even optimizes it?

In amazement.

Sissoko's original aura of attacking Avelyn and Cambridge University dissipated a lot in an instant.

The expression of the whole person became a little stiff.

After recovering.

Sissoko gritted his teeth, put on a teachable look, and said bluntly:

"Well, there is indeed some truth to what this student said, but you only know one, not the other."

"This leech barometer is just a small thing that we spent half a day in Oxford. Naturally, there is no need to bother to design circuits and the like."

As a result, Sissoko's voice just fell.

Not far from the booth, a proud voice of an Oxford University lecturer came:

"Everyone, don't miss it when you pass by. The leech barometer designed by the seven colleges of Oxford University with painstaking efforts and spent four years is now officially on display. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Sissoko:

"."

Then he took a deep breath and laughed dryly.

Forcibly ignoring the explainer, he led Xu Yun and his party to a farther booth.

Only at this moment.

On this booth is a black cylindrical device with a length of about 1.5 meters. There are several turntables on the left side of the device.

At first glance it looks a bit like .

The popcorn machine common in the 90s?

Seeing this weird thing, Xu Yun couldn't help touching his chin.

He vaguely guessed the name of this thing.

After coming to the side of the device.

Sissoko turned his head, stared at Riemann, pointed at the device, and said:

"Let me introduce to you. Compared with the leech barometer, this device is the key display item of our Oxford University this time, and the sequence is ranked second."

"As for its use"

Perhaps it was because of the value of this equipment.

Sissoko gained a bit more confidence, and even straightened his back a little:

"It's useless to say more, let me demonstrate it to you."

After speaking, he walked quickly to the table next to the equipment, took out a piece of paper, and went back to the equipment to tinker.

I saw Cisco opened the device similar to a popcorn machine from the middle, connected it to the power supply, and then put the paper in a place similar to the feeding port to align it neatly.

at last.

Hands left the console.

After about ten seconds.

Zizizi——

The equipment made some noises, and the feeding port slowly 'swallowed' the paper.

at the same time.

On another booth about ten meters away from here.

Another red machine of the same shape, connected to this place by a line, also began to sizzle.

And slowly 'spit out' another piece of paper.

five minutes later.

Both devices are stationary at the same time.

Sissoko trotted to the position of the red machine to retrieve the new paper. After rushing back to the scene, he pulled out the 'swallowed' paper from the middle of the original black machine.

Then he shook out the two pieces of paper, handed them to Avelyn, and said triumphantly:

"Let's see."

Avelyn took the two pieces of paper and compared them with everyone else.

There is no inscription on these two sheets of paper, but two identical crosses are drawn.

The graphics are crude, but the information contained in them is significant.

Seeing that the expressions of Avelyn and the others gradually became solemn, Sissoko was secretly relieved in his heart.

I saw his chest puffed up, and he introduced:

"This is a piece of equipment developed by us at Oxford University in cooperation with Mr. Alexander Bain. It's called a fax machine."

"It can transmit images and texts to another terminal remotely through preset lines.

"It is of great help to the transmission of messages and business offices, and it is bound to change the pattern of future communications!"

Sissoko's tone was decisive, clearly convinced of the prospect of the fax machine.

In a sense, he did not lie.

well known.

Speaking of modern communication means, it can be roughly divided into the following stages:

Telegraph, telephone, fax, and the Internet.

Although the essence of the telegraph is that electromagnetic waves transmit information, it does not mean that it appeared after the discovery of electromagnetic waves:

As early as 1837.

Samuel Morse built the world's first telegraph.

1844.

He even personally sent the first 50-kilometer telegram.

That's right.

This person is the Morse of the Morse code, but it is often translated as Morse when it is translated—and it is Morse who mentions the code, which makes many people unable to connect the two.

Follow normal developmental history.

After the telegraph came the telephone, invented by Bell.

Next is fax.

However, the order here refers to the order in which the technology is used, not the time when the prototype appears.

Just like Babbage and the others came up with the prototype of the computer, the prototype of the fax machine also appeared in the 1850s.

And it just so happened.

The prototype of the first facsimile machine also appeared at the Universal Exposition in 1851.

It's just that it's far inferior to the Oxford one in terms of functionality.

That prototype could only transmit 104 Morse codes within fifteen meters, so Morse finally sued the court for infringement, and the plan was aborted.

So in terms of time.

Now Xu Yun and others saw such a slightly enhanced fax machine at the World Expo, which is actually not uncommon—after all, in this timeline, Alexander Bain received investment from Cambridge University.

But on the other hand.

Since it is said to be a 'prototype', it is naturally far from mature in function.

Think here.

Xu Yun was about to say something, but Kirchhoff spoke up one step ahead of him:

"Is this Cisco student right? According to what you said, your device can transmit images and text, so why is there only such a simple cross in the demonstration?"

"Could it be that it is just a very crude prototype, far from idealized?"

"."

Seeing the bearded man with a curious look on his face, Sissoko was taken aback again.

No, why didn't these people follow the routine?

According to his original idea.

At this time, after Avelyn and the others regained their senses, what they should suspect was that he was making a fake—for example, he had prepared two identical paper clouds in advance.

After all, for people of this era, faxing involves electrical signals, which is really a bit advanced.

Then he can take advantage of the situation and ask Avelyn to draw a simple mark on the paper, fax it again on the spot, and use the facts to slap her in the face severely.

And he, Sissoko Hooker, will be recorded in history as a winner.

result

These people directly skipped the basic doubts, and instead asked about the content of the transmission?

Think here.

Sissoko suddenly frowned, shook his head and said:

"Student, do you understand circuits?"

"Do you know that this kind of theoretical problem is very complicated, and you must be a professional to understand it. A nerd like you who can't understand circuits at a glance, it's useless to talk to you."

"complex?"

Hearing Sissoko's words with guns and sticks, Kirchhoff didn't feel displeased at all, but looked at the descendant of Hook like a fool:

"What's so complicated about this?"

"Isn't it just to make several alphabet clocks that are interconnected and synchronized, and a scanning needle is added to the pendulum to act as a brush."

"In addition, put the electric contact point on a storage board. If there is a current pulse, a black spot will appear on the paper."

"Driven by the clock, the storage board moves upwards slowly, so that the pointer scans the information board line by line, and the graphics on the storage board are converted into electrical pulses and sent to the receiving end."

"The receiving board also moves slowly driven by the clock, thus leaving a pattern on the electrosensitive paper, forming the same pattern as the sending end."

"With all due respect, isn't it enough to have hands?"

Sissoko: "?????????"

Looking at Sissoko whose eyes were about to pop out, Xu Yun couldn't help but feel sympathy.

It's not good for you to offend anyone, but Kirchhoff.

This man is the only "Kirchhoff Award" established by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in the future. He is a real boss who proposed Kirchhoff's current law and Kirchhoff's voltage law at the age of 21.

Don't you see how many unlucky people hang on his hands in future generations?

Indeed.

Without any ideas, Kirchhoff may not be able to invent the fax machine - for example, he did not achieve this achievement in the original history.

But inventing is one thing, parsing the finished product is another.

In the case that there are already finished models, it is very, very simple for Kirchhoff to reverse the principle.

Before Riemann, after Kirchhoff.

What does this descendant of Hook say?

It's quite unlucky.

And just when Sissoko was autistic.

In the ears of Xu Yun and others, another angry but familiar voice suddenly came:

"I'm sorry! You traitor! You still have the face to appear here?!"
