Chapter 148 Have you ever heard of eight branches and eight and a half branches? (6K)
After watching the tadpole scene.
Lao Su slowly raised his head, and there was even an extremely rare glaze in his eyes.
Then a full half minute passed.
He just sighed, shook his head and sighed:
"My skills are truly amazing"
Although he did not personally take part in the process of extracting semen from the donkey, he watched the whole process from the side:
Considering that Brother Donkey was not having an easy time these days, Xu Yun did not use the more painful method of puncture, but humanely found a female donkey for Brother Donkey.
As a biological creature in this life, Xu Yun has a relatively good understanding of the traits of some animals.
Especially in terms of applause, through some action details, we can roughly estimate the extent of the performance.
So when he saw that Brother Donkey was almost there, he asked someone to separate Brother Donkey and the female donkey and collect some sex fluid.
After the X liquid liquefied for half an hour, it was made into a glass slide.
Therefore, Lao Su was sure that Xu Yun had absolutely no back-up tactics.
As for Siegfried, it's even simpler.
He had saved Siegfried's life, so he would never and had no chance to fool himself.
It's obvious.
Not to mention all of the microscopic world Xu Yun mentioned, at least most of the concept of 'microorganisms' can be confirmed.
At this moment.
In addition to being surprised, Lao Su also unconsciously felt a strong sense of regret:
Junsheng, I am old. Ahem, it would be nice if Xu Yun showed up earlier.
After all
He is already eighty years old.
It is true that due to his high position and his own medical skills, his body is well maintained.
But in the final analysis, this is just a little struggle of a person at the end of his life.
All kinds of methods can at best delay aging slightly, but cannot violate the cruel rules of life.
Judge according to normal conditions.
He can only live for another five or six years at most, and then it's almost time to go see Shenzong.
If something unexpected happens during this period.
The Queen Mother Xiang in the palace now is the best example.
Five or six years
In such a short time, facing a newly discovered microscopic world, how many useful things can he do?
Not to mention that if the telescope is successfully built, the vast starry sky will be an area that can be explored for a lifetime.
The remaining years I have are really not enough.
Think of this.
Lao Su couldn't help but turn his head slightly and glanced at Xu Yun from the corner of his eye.
There was an extremely rare hint of envy in those extremely wise eyes.
Although Xiao Wang's past experience was not wonderful, the knowledge he had access to was so enviable and even jealous.
It would be great if he could be exposed to science at his age.
In that case, his achievements must be far beyond what he is today, and he may even be written by future generations in a book, such as "He Changed the Song Dynasty"?
Of course.
At this time, Xu Yun didn't know what Lao Su was thinking. He was introducing the origin of the slide sample to Xiao Li.
"Miss Li."
Xu Yun glanced at the little bean sprouts in front of him and said hesitantly:
"The sample of this slide may be a little special, you have to make some mental preparations first."
Xiao Li arrived at Su Mansion not long ago and did not catch up with the sperm collection process. Hearing this, he immediately said with curiosity:
"Special? Could it be some dirty thing?
If I remember correctly, you once said that the more filthy something is, the more microorganisms may be present in it.
For example, feces, blood, etc.”
Thinking of this, Xiao Li couldn't help but clenched his fist, as if to cheer himself up:
"Wang Lin, don't worry, I'm ready!"
Looking at the look of determination on this girl's face, she does have a bit of the shadow of the layman Yi An who later wrote, "You will be a hero in life, and you will be a ghost in death."
".How should I put it? This thing is indeed a little dirty, but it is not like excrement."
Xu Yun gritted his teeth and thought for a while, then tentatively asked:
"Miss Li, do you know eight and eight and a half branches?"
When Xiao Li heard this, a pure question mark suddenly appeared on his face:
"Eight and eight and a half?"
Xu Yun felt an inexplicable feeling of guilt about driving, but he still gritted his teeth and explained:
"A woman has four branches, and a man has one more branch in the middle than you, which is five branches. The total is nine branches.
At that time, two people will become eight branches again. When it comes out a little but not completely, it will be eight and a half.
So the movements are eight branches, eight and a half eight branches, eight and a half branches
And what’s on the slide is”
The Song Dynasty was a very cheerful era, and women's understanding of the eight and eight and a half branches was actually not low.
Especially a girl like Xiao Li who often goes to brothels to drink.
Although she protects herself very well, she also has a "writing style" to protect herself.
But under the influence of ears and eyes, there is still relevant knowledge.
So after Xu Yun informed the origin of the slide sample.
Although Xiao Li blushed as red as an apple, in the end his curiosity overcame his shyness and decided to observe X cells.
Actually.
This kind of thing is quite common in later generations.
Have you ever seen how many veterans who have read countless movies are actually just singles who don’t even have a girlfriend?
oh.
So does Xu Yun, then it’s okay.
all in all.
Not long after he mustered up the courage to put his glasses on the eyepiece, Xiao Li looked at Xu Yun again with a surprised look on his face:
"There are really a lot of tadpoles, some are moving, some are still or even broken.
Wang Lin, do you think this donkey is not in good health? ”
Xu Yun: "."
Why do you feel like this girl seems to be developing towards a female driver?
Then Wang Zhen, Lao Jia, and Wang Yue, who had regained some mobility and ended the long sex scene, all stepped forward and curiously looked at Brother Lu's slide samples.
About a quarter of an hour later.
Except for a few servants, everyone present had basically looked at the eyepiece.
Compared to before the observation, the atmosphere in the hospital was undoubtedly much more solemn at this time.
Surprised, confused, even panicked.
These expressions appeared on everyone's face invariably.
Among them, the mathematician named Lin Huainan even sat down on the ground after leaving the microscope.
He looked like his world view had collapsed.
Xu Yun was not surprised by this. This was something he expected. After all, not everyone has a big heart.
Follow the normal trajectory.
Later, after Leeuwenhoek discovered microorganisms and announced them, many people also shouted "Truth Apoptosis", and a few people collapsed and went crazy or chose to commit suicide.
After all, for people of that period.
After learning that ants, insects, and even ourselves are composed of countless tiny particles, only a few can accept it calmly.
At a time when macro cognition is not yet clear, if you tell them micro concepts, this is completely super-categorical knowledge.
Just like in the 21st century.
You suddenly discover that a good friend next to you is actually a high-dimensional digital person, and he turned into data fragments and disappeared in front of you.
How many people can withstand such an impact?
During Leeuwenhoek's time, he even relied on Protestantism to stabilize public sentiment through its own authority.
Otherwise, if the trend continues, the shock caused by microbiology theory will be even greater.
Of course.
Some students may ask:
Right?
How could Protestantism be so liberal? Don’t they specialize in burning people?
Thump thump thump thump.
It’s time for popular science.
Tell the truth.
In the early stages of the development of modern science, the Protestant Church, or the Holy See, actually made a lot of efforts.
Many people may have heard the story of Galileo's persecution, and also heard that Copernicus was burned to death, but the reason behind this has basically nothing to do with science.
First let’s talk about Copernicus being burned to death.
First of all.
This is nothing but fiction:
Copernicus died a serious death in history, and it was Bruno who was really burned to death.
Secondly, the cause of Bruno's death had little to do with his dedication to science - he was not a scientist at all, and he even heard about the heliocentric theory when he was running away.
Actually.
Bruno is still a priest, but he believes in the Hermetic sect.
His support for the heliocentric system was rooted in the profound influence of Hermeticism.
Hermeticism is an ancient religion with strong mysticism, pantheism and witchcraft overtones.
This religion opposed the Trinity, so it was considered a heresy by the Holy See at that time.
This religion worshiped the sun, and the Copernican system catered to this requirement.
So by chance, Bruno caught his eye with it.
Other than that.
Bruno has not studied any astronomy knowledge and knows nothing about basic common sense.
For example, Copernicus's cosmology has two orbiting motions:
One is the stars orbiting the sun, the other is the moon orbiting the earth.
This was also a controversial area in the astronomical circle at that time.
Bruno only accepted the former, not the moon orbiting the earth.
In his understanding, all satellites also revolve around the sun.
He was later arrested and imprisoned in 1592 and burned to death in 1600, a period of eight years.
Among the eight charges against him by the Holy See, they were all related to the promotion of heresy and had little to do with science.
On the contrary, because of his involvement, the later Copernican heliocentric theory was also marked with some symbols, making it extremely difficult to spread.
As for Galileo
More people should know more.
Galileo had actually always been sponsored by the Holy See, and he was good friends with the then Pope Urban VIII.
How good are these two products?
The two are not only fellow villagers, but also alumni.
Urban VIII once sent his nephew to Galileo to study for a doctoral degree. Galileo's two daughters entrusted Urban VIII to find a way out and later became nuns.
So you see.
They are not only friends, but family friends.
In 1616.
At that time, the Inquisition, the Pope, issued a ban called 1616 because of his dislike of Galileo.
It's to warn Galileo not to stop preaching that heliocentric theory is the truth. It's just a hypothesis at most. Do you understand?
Galileo said "Oh, chicken, K," and he admitted it at the time.
However, Urban VIII, who was still Cardinal Archbishop at the time, was very dissatisfied with this ban.
In his letter to Galileo, he stated that if I were to become pope, I would never let him go.
This flag, which would never end well in movies or cartoons, did not affect Urban VIII, who really became pope in 1623.
And seeing Urban VIII becoming pope, Galileo became excited:
My buddy has become the pope, so can’t I mention heliocentric theory again?
So 1624.
He made a special trip to Rome to persuade his good friend there.
He went to the Vatican to meet with him six times. Urban VIII finally said that there was no problem in lifting the ban, but you should treat it as a hypothesis.
When writing a book at the same time, two requirements must be met:
1. Fairly describe the two schools of thought, especially reminding Galileo not to favor the heliocentric theory.
2. I hope to add my own words.
Then Urban VIII took his hands off the keyboard and happily waited in Rome for the book to come out.
To this end, he also persuaded both the heliocentric and geocentric schools not to take a stand.
The main purpose is to highlight the impartial authority of our Holy See, and also to add my own words to this masterpiece.
1632.
Galileo completed the "Dialogue Concerning the Two World Systems of Ptolemy and Copernicus".
But here comes the cool bit:
In this book, he not only satirized the geocentric theory, but also satirized Urban VIII - basically writing the supporters of the geocentric theory into a fool, with an IQ as stupid as the villain in the novel "The King of Soldiers" ten years ago. .
What’s even worse is.
Urban VIII is such a fool
Ever since.
Galileo was sent to the Inquisition.
The court sentenced him to life imprisonment on the spot, but in fact, this sentence has never been implemented even in form:
A few days later, Galileo was sent to the home of a cardinal in Rome.
This archbishop is a rich man, and his living conditions are much better than before. There is still a ruins of Galileo's prison manor in Rome.
This red archbishop is also interesting. He always tells people he has a famous person in his family and invites all kinds of friends to meet him.
Many people came here to discuss mechanics and mechanical issues with Galileo, and it became like a fan meeting.
Use local examples to describe.
Galileo and Urban VIII are actually somewhat similar to Chen Gong and Cao Cao in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
It's just that this 'Chen Gong' is relatively less arrogant, and 'Cao Cao' is not so obsessed with face.
Therefore, the story of Galileo's persecution is actually not very rigorous.
From an objective perspective.
The situation with Galileo was a bit better. It was somewhere between qualitative ambiguity. Some people felt that restricting freedom also constituted persecution.
But Bruno's story is simply very problematic.
So in recent years Bruno's story has been removed from textbooks.
However, due to the spread of the disease, many people were affected by it earlier.
Many people may not know in this life that they have been deceived by textbooks (some readers have guessed Bruno before, and here is a popular science. It is useless for such a person to wear it, and he is not a scientist at all.)
< br>
His eyes returned to reality.
After observing the X liquid slide.
Xu Yun replaced the second slide, which was also the one with the most microorganisms - fecal water.
Um.
It was provided by Brother Donkey.
Friends who have smelled diluted fecal water should know this.
The diluted excrement water actually doesn't smell very bad, and has a bit of a pastoral flower scent.
This is because it contains low concentrations of skatole:
The scientific name of skatole is 3-methylindole, which is a derivative of indole.
And indole is the source of the fragrance of narcissus and jasmine.
Not only that.
The most amazing thing about indole and its derivatives is that they have a very special dual sense of smell:
That is to say, it has a pleasant floral fragrance at very low concentrations, but has a suffocating odor at extremely high concentrations.
By the way.
Cream also produces 2-methylindole with a strong pungent smell, so students with bad breath can eat less cream.
After fixing the fecal slide.
It was Lao Su who stepped forward and looked into the eyepiece.
I only saw the X liquid slide compared to the first time.
In the field of view of the fecal water slide, a large number of microorganisms of different shapes can be seen:
Long, short, round, irregular.
Although these little things are not as lively as tadpoles.
But judging from their movements with each other, it can still be judged that these are tiny living beings with vitality.
See here.
Lao Su suddenly felt blessed and shouted to Mr. Xie:
"In the first year of the lunar calendar, quickly get some paper and pen and prepare to draw!" (End of this chapter)
