Chapter 21 The Difficult First Step


Chapter 21 The Difficult First Step

Although Xiao Niu’s sleep was really not that good, his snoring was just as loud as his ears.

But perhaps because he was too tired from working all day, Xu Yun finally fell into a deep sleep.

A night of silence.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly there was a sound of birds chirping outside the window.

Xu Yun lazily opened his eyes, scratched his messy hair, stretched, yawned, and woke up.

It was now winter in the British Peninsula, and the morning air was extremely cold and humid. Xu Yun exhaled, and a cloud of white mist soon appeared in front of him.

Then he suddenly thought of something and turned his head to look to the right.

There was no one on Maverick's bed. It was obvious that the founder had been awake for a long time.

The sky was a little bright at this time, and it was probably around 6:30 a.m., or at most 7 a.m.

In China, some writers who stayed up late coding may have just gone to bed at this time.

Then Xu Yun clasped his hands together, put them in front of his mouth, breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his face vigorously, and quickly got out of the quilt - all working people know that if you want to get out of the seal of the quilt in winter, you must Just do it in one go while the quilt is not paying attention.

After simply adjusting his clothes, Xu Yun gently opened the bedroom door, tilted his head and looked out.

Sure enough.

At this time, Maverick was sitting on the desk outside with his head lowered, writing furiously, as if he was calculating something.

Hearing the movement of the bedroom door, Maverick raised his head and nodded his chin towards a tea table at the entrance:

"The bread is still a piece on the table. After breakfast, take a rest and then go to inspect the orchard."

After finishing speaking, Mavericks hesitated for a while, then changed his words before Xu Yun could answer:

"Forget it, today is your first day doing this work. I will take you through the process first, and you will go alone starting tomorrow."

Xu Yun nodded:

"Understood, Mr. Newton."

After speaking, he glanced at Mavericks who was writing and continued:

"Mr. Newton, I want to go out and get some water to moisten my throat. I slept all night and my mouth is a little thirsty."

Maverick didn't speak this time and just hummed softly.

After receiving the permission, an inexplicable brilliance flashed in Xu Yun's eyes, and he walked out the door holding a wooden cup that he had planed yesterday.

There is a slightly old water tank on the side of the garden room. Judging from the age, it should be William's handiwork. It is located out of sight of the window behind Mavericks.

Xu Yun leisurely came to the water tank and scooped up the water in a wooden cup. He didn't mind the cold and poured it directly into his mouth.

He rinsed his mouth.

It has to be said that in the context of the time before the 19th century, China's mainstream cultural habits were much stronger than those in Europe.

For example, although ancient China did not have toothbrushes, there were many ways to wash their hands.

For example, there is a record in "Book of Rites" that "When the chicken first crows, rinse with salt." Commonly used toiletries in ancient China include wine, vinegar, salt water, tea, etc.

Among them, wine, vinegar, and salt water have bactericidal effects, and tea is rich in fluorine.

Fluorine has a certain anti-caries effect, and it can also clean the mouth and protect teeth.

Later, the famous wicker and bristle were also derived, which were considered early prototypes of toothbrushes.

But ancient Europe was different. They basically didn't know how to brush their teeth or take a bath - especially the British.

Even now, many British people still do not have the habit of brushing their teeth, so oral health in the UK has always been a big problem.

Of course.

This is mainly related to their political and cultural background, which will not be discussed for the time being.

In short, from a modern person's perspective, Xu Yun would be happy to respect some customs if they had no impact, but he still couldn't get over the custom of not brushing his teeth or washing his face.

Therefore, he could only seize every opportunity to keep his body clean as much as possible.

If there is an opportunity, it is necessary to correct the habits of the Mavericks and William.

Although there is no direct evidence from later generations that their lifespan is causally related to not bathing or brushing their teeth, correcting this habit is beneficial and harmless, and living a few more months is also worthwhile, right?

After simply rinsing his mouth, Xu Yun dipped some cold water into his mouth.

He slapped her face a few times.

The cool feeling soaked into his skin, making him feel energetic all of a sudden.

After washing, Xu Yun was not in a hurry to go back, but looked up at the sky.

"Tsk tsk, it's cloudless and the sun is shining brightly. It's really a good weather for fishing."

Xu Yun rubbed his hands and chose a corner with half sunlight and half shadow.

Take off your 900-degree eyes, and then.

I didn't do anything, so I pricked up my ears and listened carefully to the movement at the door of the garden room.

Meanwhile, inside the house.

At this moment, Xiao Niu is doing calculations on paper quickly:

"(A+B)m/n=(P+PQ)m/n=Pm/n+(m/n)·AQ+[(m-n)/2n]·BQ)+[(m-2n)/3n]) +[(m-3n)/4n])+…..”

"Well, if it's written as e^(n*ln(1+1/n)), it's damn wrong to use 0/0 as the unfinished form for the exponent to convert it to 1, that's not right!"

As the pen tip paused, Maverick pulled back his hair in annoyance.

His cheeks puffed up and he exhaled a thick breath.

At this time yesterday, he met Xu Yun who fell from the sky, and a series of subsequent things happened.

In fact, the incident itself was nothing special, it was just a coincidence, and that was all.

But the scene where Xu Yun fell vaguely overlapped with a certain problem that Maverick had thought of before:

Why do things that lose their support fall instead of floating upward?

Of course.

The time when this question really arose is far from yesterday, and the first person to propose this idea was not even the Mavericks themselves.

But Xu Yun's appearance made this question even more impressive in Maverick's mind.

And unlike others.

Mavericks actually already has some clues about this mysterious 'force', which is Kepler's three laws.

According to Kepler's three laws, all planets in the solar system move around the sun in elliptical orbits.

Therefore, many people, including Mavericks, have speculated that there should be some connection between the inverse square law and Kepler's three laws.

But the problem is that in order to realize the mutual inference between the two, a mathematical tool that does not yet exist must be used - Mavericks calls this tool flow math. It is a kind of relationship between known flows. Find their flow numbers. relationship and the method of inverse operation.

At present, Mavericks has completed a small part of the derivation, but is stuck on the problem of simplifying the binomial (P+PQ)^m/n.

This is already his sixth attempt to simplify the binomial, but he still cannot successfully expand it into a series.

If you can't even clear this level, how can you explain that mysterious 'power'?

Therefore, Mavericks was a little irritable for a while, and his thoughts gradually began to broaden:

In a few hours we will leave for Uncle William's house.

I miss Lisa so much

I don’t know how much food my uncle’s family still has, after all, there is more food for the fat fish.

etc!

After thinking about it, Maverick suddenly realized something and turned his head quickly:

What about the fat fish?

Now it has been more than half an hour since he went out to fetch water. No matter what, it is time to come back - there is no way that boy can go to the Thames to fetch water, right?

Thinking of the living expenses that the Oriental had agreed with him, Maverick immediately became unable to sit still.

So he quickly put down his pen and walked out of the room quickly.

Crunch——

After opening the door, Maverick walked towards the water tank familiarly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned the corner, he saw Xu Yun holding glasses in one hand and squatting on the ground in an Asian squatting posture.

After discovering that Xu Yun was not in trouble as he imagined, and that there were even signs of fishing, Mavericks' violent temper immediately emerged:

"FU"

As a result, a certain word was blocked in his throat before he could even say it. What stopped him from pronunciation was not the review system of Qidian.com, but

In the shadow of the corner behind Xu Yun, a cluster of small but clearly visible

Seven colors of light!
