Chapter 105 Mission Objective: Make trouble!
By the well.
The moment Xu Yun learned Su Song's name, a curtain of light quietly appeared in front of him.
A curtain of light that was somewhat familiar to him:
[Random mission: Make trouble, make trouble! 】
[Task difficulty: ★★☆☆☆-★★★★☆]
[Task requirement: Fulfill Su Song’s wish before his death]
[Task time limit: one and a half years]
[Task reward: Depends on score]
[Punishment for unfinished tasks: favorability of all men in reality +8, luck -5]
[Additional explanation: This world is a parallel world, I forgot the next words, just a little bit ε(*ω)_/:☆]
Xu Yun: "."
How to say it.
There's just something wrong with this thing, isn't there?
Then he took a deep breath and returned his mind to reality.
Tell the truth.
At the beginning, when it was determined that it was most likely the Song Dynasty, Xu Yun had two people in his mind who were most likely to be his targets:
Shen Kuo, or Yang Hui.
Considering the previous connection with the Mavericks incident, the probability of the latter is even greater.
But he never expected that the person he met would be Su Song!
In the long history of human civilization, countless top geniuses in astronomy, physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, literature and many other industries have emerged.
For example, physics has Mavericks and Maxwell.
Mathematics includes Gauss and Cauchy.
Literature includes Voltaire, Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng and so on.
But throughout the history of civilization.
If we want to talk about all-around geniuses who have reached the pinnacle of their era in every field and are recognized by the world, there are only two people in ancient and modern times:
Leonardo da Vinci, and
Su Song.
Su Song was born in the Northern Song Dynasty. His fields covered politics, astronomy, mechanical engineering, science, medicine, diplomacy, and literature. He served as prime minister and created 7 world firsts.
Back when BXC had not become an underworld TV station, it once produced an Oriental documentary.
The documentary called Su Song "the world's top scientist in the eleventh century" and even said a very classic sentence:
"Rather than saying that Su Song is the Leonardo da Vinci of the East, it is better to say that Leonardo da Vinci is the Su Song of the West."
Putting aside BCX's subsequent underworld operations, just talking about the early documentaries, it is definitely the world's number one authoritative radio station, and it is not even tied.
This is also the reason why we had to refute the rumor immediately after they exposed Zhuzhou - its scope of influence was so wide, and it was so authoritative that many people would believe its statement without hesitation.
Needless to say, the gold content of such a media praising Su Song.
However, due to various reasons, Lao Su's reputation in history has always been in a very strange state:
People who know him, both at home and abroad, almost regard him as a god.
For example, 21 of the Eagles' top 30 universities have set up research groups specifically for him. The world history course offered by the California Institute of Technology even reached 17 sessions, two more than Mavericks and Einstein combined.
But people who don't know are confused about him, saying who is this?
A relative of Su Shi?
Between knowing and not knowing, there is an almost insurmountable barrier.
Think of this.
Xu Yun couldn't help but raise his head and look at the sky.
As a scientific researcher, he respects every pioneer in human history, both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign.
But as a Chinese, Xu Yun had a deeper sense of intimacy with the local sages.
Twelve chapter patterns, offering sacrifices from a distance and looking around, this is a kind of inheritance that spans time and is a resonance hidden in the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang.
For another example, Xu Yun didn't feel any discomfort in the Tsing Yi he was wearing, and it looked much more pleasing to the eye than Mavericks's hooded pants.
"This is the sense of national identity."
Xu Yun then turned his attention back to reality, and while helping Xiao San'er pull the bucket, he thought about how he should go next.
According to Xiao San'er.
This year the emperor held a general amnesty, so the timeline is undoubtedly 1100 AD.
At the same time, this is Bianjing, which is now Shenjunyi City in Zhongzhou. Judging from the temperature, it is probably summer.
Lao Su died in June 1101, almost a year ago, which seems to conflict with the mission time
Then Xu Yun suddenly thought of something, and asked Xiao San'er while carrying the bucket:
"Third brother, let me ask you something. Does our master live a long life this year?"
Xiao San'er helped him pick up a bucket of water, took a few breaths, and replied:
"I turned 80 last year. At that time, the palace sent someone to give me a birthday gift. I heard that there were some Western goods in it!"
"Eighty?"
Xu Yun pretended to be surprised and opened his mouth:
"But I see how the master looked yesterday. How come his body and bones are as healthy as those in his sixties?"
Xiaosaner glanced at him with an expression as if you were making a fuss:
"No, our master is in good health. He loves walking on the street every day, and he can even carry a hoe and plant some vegetables in the backyard!"
Hearing this, Xu Yun nodded thoughtfully.
Generally speaking.
For an old man in a high position like Lao Su, even if his vitality declines due to old age, it often takes a relatively long time before he is completely unable to hold on.
Based on Lao Su's current physical condition, it is theoretically unlikely that he would die naturally within a year.
Unless
During this year, something unexpected happened to Lao Su, such as
fall!
Students who have taken care of the elderly should know that the older the elderly are, the less likely they are to fall.
Even in the 21st century, there are countless examples of people who were in high spirits a few months ago, fell ill after a fall or two, and finally passed away.
Based on Lao Su's previous physical appearance and Xiao San'er's description.
Xu Yun didn't say that this old man could live to be ninety years old. There would probably be no problem if he lived on for at least another three or four years.
This can also explain the time limit given by the task.
In fact, in later generations, some scholars believed that Lao Su's death was a bit premature.
Because according to "Eastern Capital History" records, in the third year of Yuanfu - which is now 1100 AD, Lao Su could still travel to and from Bianjing several times from Jingkou in Suzhou Province.
Drinking wine, sword dancing, exploring old memories, and at the end of the year we even ate a big pot of dog meat.
Therefore, the "wrestling theory" is still a relatively popular theory in the local market. Accurate written records are definitely not found, but the logic is relatively reasonable.
If the facts are as Xu Yun guessed, then it is not particularly difficult to avoid accidents as much as possible.
However, rather than preventing falls, he now has two problems that need to be solved first:
The first thing is how to speak in front of Lao Su - or to put it more bluntly, how to show your own value?
Although Lao Su is currently pretty good about his resettlement plan, this is obviously not an equal emphasis, but more of a pity that comes from nowhere.
At that time, Mavericks himself could still use the dispersion phenomenon to arouse interest, and then used Taylor to expand and simplify, thus officially establishing his persona in front of Mavericks.
But this time he didn't have such a good chance with Lao Su - Lao Su could be said to have perfected his life and had accomplished all the major things he needed to do. There were no problems that needed to be solved at all.
Theoretically speaking, all Xu Yun could do was design a tombstone and memorial service.
Therefore, from which angle to cut in to successfully demonstrate your own value must be carefully considered.
As for the second thing, it is based on completing the first thing, that is
Convince Lao Su not to return to Jingkou and stay in Bianjing. (End of chapter)
