Chapter 244 Let me be healthy! (5.6K)
Tell the truth.
When a person is thinking about a problem with his brain full of energy, and someone suddenly rushes to him unexpectedly, this kind of thing is quite scary.
Not to mention that the other party was still bald, and his shiny forehead shone in the sun. Xu Yun was so frightened that he almost wanted to touch the nitroglycerin in his pocket.
"."
However, Xu Yun forced himself to calm down when he thought that there were many weirdos and thieves in Cambridge University, and that the other party might be a teaching assistant or even a professor.
He first took a look at the person's appearance.
The bald head looks a bit like Guo Da in later generations. There are some golden hairs growing on both sides of his shiny forehead, and his forehead is covered with thick forehead wrinkles.
He looked to be in his forties, but he had a bitter look on his face.
Then he put a bookmark on the reading chapter of "1650-1830: Two Hundred Years of Jump in the History of Science", closed the book, and asked this person:
"Sir, what can I do for you?"
Seeing Xu Yun ask, the bald man's eyes suddenly flashed.
I saw him asking curiously:
"This classmate, are you the Oriental who handed Sir Newton's letter to the school?"
Yes, it seems he is another Mavericks fan.
Xu Yun nodded and said:
"Yes, it's me."
After saying that, he sighed in his heart.
If nothing unexpected happens.
What follows should be the usual ‘I’m ashamed to be around you’ diss.
But what surprised him was.
The bald man opposite did not give him a blank look like Jones Border did before. Instead, he stepped forward more curiously and asked:
"So you are really a descendant of Mr. Fat Fish?"
Xu Yun raised his eyelids and glanced at him. He was a little unsure of what the other party was planning to do, but he still said with certainty:
"That's right, Mr. Fat Fish is the ancestor of my family. It's true."
"Because of the lack of thinking about the hall!"
The bald man clapped his hands fiercely, and the sound even vaguely echoed on the second floor of the empty library:
"What about Fengling Yueying Sect? You must know Fengling Yueying Sect, right?"
Without waiting for Xu Yun to answer, he pulled out his chair.
Some familiar people sat next to Xu Yun and said enthusiastically:
"It is said that there are some immortals in the Fengling Yueying Sect who fly into the sky and escape from the earth. I dare to ask whether this is true or not?"
Seeing that the opponent's saliva was almost spraying on his face, Xu Yun calmly distanced himself from the opponent and explained:
"It's not like you can fly to the sky and escape from the earth. It's just that your physical fitness may be better than that of ordinary people, and your life span will generally be longer."
He mentioned Hamilton in his book "1650-1830: Two Hundred Years of Jump in the History of Science".
Due to Fat Fish's great contribution in this timeline, the spread of the 'Fengling Moon Shadow Sect' in this world has naturally been enhanced.
Some people who are fans of Mavericks, or scientists who want to pursue more principles, are deeply interested in the Fengling Yueying Sect.
Some people even spend huge sums of money to go to the East to find out.
The so-called immortal cultivators that Xu Yun once mentioned to Xiao Niu have also been magnified and made up a lot.
However, as the saying goes, you should never talk to each other casually. Xu Yun and Da Baldou just met by chance now, so they must not talk casually.
Therefore, it is for the sake of stability.
He simply used some local Taoist scenes to describe it.
Local Taoism can be regarded as the master of health-preserving technology in later generations, and it is indeed quite prestigious in the field of health-preserving.
Those who are truly Qing cultivators, represented by Taoist Master Zhang Zhishun, even many doubters of traditional culture and even the ignorant cannot find an entry point.
And after hearing the words 'life spans are generally longer', the brilliance in the bald man's eyes became even more intense.
I saw him licking his chin gently, adjusting his glasses, and said:
"So your health is also very good?"
Then without waiting for Xu Yun to answer, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand:
"Classmate, let me know how you are."
Xu Yun:
"????"
As a man with standard sexual orientation, Xu Yun would naturally not engage in any pursuit of men.
The moment the big bald head made some movement, he stood up and used the foot combat stance in "Laifu Sword Technique".
With anger sinking in his Dantian, he used a thousand pounds to counter the opponent's left hand on the table.
"Hiss"
A large amount of sweat immediately broke out on the forehead of the bald head, and his expression showed a trace of pain, but his eyes became brighter:
"This kind of body has this kind of power, Dongfang! Dongfang. It hurts..."
Xu Yun: "."
Isn't this person a jerk?
But this is the library of Cambridge University after all, so Xu Yun only resisted slightly for five or six seconds, and then let go when he thought it was almost done.
Take a step back.
I picked up "1650-1830: Two Hundred Years of Jump in the History of Science" on the table and prepared to leave.
When the big bald man saw this, he ignored the pain in his left hand and stood up suddenly, saying:
"This classmate, please wait a moment, I have no ill intentions towards you!"
Xu Yun turned his head and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly:
"No malice? Then you still want to think about my body?"
The bald man breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his elbows with a grin on his face, and explained while gasping:
"You misunderstood, I just wanted to see if there is anything special about the body of Orientals on a whim."
"What you don't know is that I have been doing a study on the evolution of life over the years, and the only thing missing is normal Eastern samples."
"Study on the evolution of life?"
Hearing these words, Xu Yun was stunned.
Then he carefully looked at the bald forehead and his forehead lines, and an old figure that was somewhat similar to him vaguely appeared in his mind.
Seeing Xu Yun like this, the bald man felt a little uncomfortable:
"Classmate, you, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Yun withdrew his gaze, continued to maintain a vigilant posture, and asked casually:
"Sir, what is your name?"
The bald head was stunned for a moment, then slapped his forehead:
"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself in the excitement. I am a natural history researcher named Charles Robert."
Hear the words Charles and Robert at the beginning.
Xu Yun's fingers holding "1650-1830: Two Hundred Years of Jump in the History of Science" involuntarily tightened again.
Sure enough it was him!
But soon, another question appeared in Xu Yun's mind:
Why is this person at Cambridge University?
As a biological creature in this life, Xu Yun is very clear about this person’s resume:
He never taught at Cambridge University at all, but spent some time at Oxford.
Has history changed again?
And at the same time.
The big bald head also reported the last group of words in his surname:
".Darwin."
In native history, there were two circumnavigations that shook humanity’s most fundamental values.
One of these times everyone should be able to think of.
That is, Luffy's voyage was wrong, it was Magellan's voyage.
This voyage proved the theory of a round earth and ended a dispute that had lasted for thousands of years. It was a milestone in human history.
This other voyage was no less important than Magellan's, but not many people know about it.
It happened at the end of 1831.
At this time in the east, Emperor Daoguang was happily ruling his great empire.
He had no idea that in nine years' time, Yi Crow's first cannonball would fall on the land of China.
And on the other side of the world.
An English warship named the Beagle also began its second voyage at the same time.
This voyage was so significant that more than a hundred years later, the British named their Mars lander Beagle 2.
Those who were sailors in their previous lives should all know this.
At that time, maritime navigation was a very boring thing.
For example, the former captain of the "Beagle" and a certain physicist named Stokes stayed on the ship for two years before eventually shooting himself under mental pressure.
The second-generation captain is called Fitzroy. He is an extremely irritable man and has a family history of mental illness.
Worried that he might have the same suicidal impulses, he found a gentle young man to accompany him.
This young man is also a top student who graduated from the Divinity School of Cambridge University. He is knowledgeable and can also serve as a pastor.
But Fitzroy probably never thought about it until his death.
The graduate who majored in theology he had found would launch a violent impact on theology more than ten years after his voyage.
The magnitude of that impact was unprecedented in human history, and even shook the foundation of creationism.
That's right.
This young man was Charles Robert Darwin.
Got here.
Many people may think that the next sentence should be "Everyone knows the subsequent story, Darwin proposed the theory of evolution", right?
But I'm sorry.
The story is far from simple.
In fact, at the beginning, Darwin had no intention of overturning theology or developing any theory.
He was just like an ordinary naturalist. Every time the ship arrived at a new place, he would come down and do what he should do.
Observe various animals, make specimens, dig for fossils, and record what you see in detail.
He simply discovered a phenomenon:
Unless it is a celestial disaster, species extinction will not occur suddenly, there will be a transition state.
For example, he initially thought he had found the fossil of an extinct giant loris, but it looked strange, like an armadillo.
It wasn't until he returned to London that he realized he had discovered something in between.
Darwin's voyage began in the Andes, passing through Chile, the Galapagos Islands, Port of Concepcion, Australia and other places, and finally returned to England.
After his return, Darwin wrote two books in more than ten years:
"Fauna during the voyage of the Beagle" and "Geology during the voyage of the Beagle".
That's right.
There is no Origin of Species.
This is actually a little-known detail of Darwin's theory of evolution - the release of "The Origin of Species" was actually a bit hasty.
The accident happened in 1851.
This year, Darwin's seriously ill daughter Anne died. Some people said this was punishment for his "apostasy" even though he was a theological student.
From then on, Darwin began to become somewhat extreme. He denied theology and began writing his major work on the theory of evolution in 1855.
In 1859, Darwin published "The Origin of Species".
So what do you say
The publication of "The Origin of Species" was actually an act of revenge.
Therefore, on the one hand, the theory of evolution is one of the foundations of modern biology and is irrefutable.
But on the other hand, there are certain ideas in "The Origin of Species" that are radical.
Even Darwin himself was in a subtle state:
He denied creationism, but supported his son to take the priest exam. Some people in later generations explained that priests are easy to find jobs, but this argument has no real basis.
Of course.
Many people in later generations claimed that the theory of evolution was a wrong theory, but this statement was also extreme.
Friends who really understand biology should know this.
Modern biological theory was not achieved overnight. It actually had three stages:
Lamarck’s use or lose theory, Darwin’s theory of evolution, and modern evolution.
Many people criticize the "theory of evolution" in textbooks as wrong, but in fact, what is taught now is the modern theory of evolution, which is an optimization of Darwin's theory of evolution.
It actually filled up many of Darwin's loopholes - it is true that even so, some flaws and loopholes in the theory of evolution still exist, and they remain unsolved to this day.
But at least it is tenable in the context of the knowledge that ordinary people have access to, that is, the cognitive scope of nine-year compulsory education.
That is to say, there are loopholes in the professional academic field, and there are quite a few of them. If you really look for them, I can list a lot of them for you.
But ordinary people basically cannot understand these contents. Most of the "evolutionary loopholes" that you can understand have actually been patched long ago.
In other words.
The current theory of evolution may not be entirely correct, but it is by no means entirely wrong:
Because scientific theories are constantly being improved and updated, other theories may appear in the future, no one can say for sure.
But at the current theoretical and technological level.
Modern evolutionary theory is still an irreplaceable model for the time being.
If you want to overturn it, no problem.
But at least we need to develop a model that can be replaced.
Just like if you live in a dilapidated house with air leakage from all directions, everyone knows that it is uncomfortable to live there.
But you don’t have money to buy a new house or stay in a hotel, what should you do?
I can only make do with it and work to save money.
You can't clamor to demolish the house and drink the northwest wind in the open air, right?
This is obviously a bit extreme.
This is the case with scientific theories. Each era has its limitations and cannot be said to be black and white.
Of course.
This does not mean that Xu Yun will agree with some comments on the Internet that post pictures of fish and say, "This is our ancestor."
Regarding the origin of species, it is impossible to reach a correct conclusion in the short term with the current level of human understanding of DNA.
But Xu Yun still feels that the saying "natural selection, survival of the fittest" makes sense.
For example, he was engaged in the online writing industry in his previous life.
How happy the authors were in the early years. Except for the bloody tentacle monster, everyone’s 4,000 words a day was not too boring.
As a result, since the appearance of a certain eagle, thousands of days have become the norm.
Except for some writers who are really good at writing, it is impossible to achieve good results with four thousand words.
Even Brother Hongmao Dong started to update 9,000 times a day. Xu Yun even earned a reputation of updating 30,000 times a day through diligent updates. I feel ashamed.
Ahem, let’s get down to business.
all in all.
Xu Yun still admires Darwin somewhat.
His theory may not be as profound as that of Wheat or Stokes, but its influence on the history of human science is not low at all.
This is a worthy sage.
And just as Xu Yun was thinking.
Darwin opposite seemed to feel that Xu Yun's attitude was a little loose. He pondered for a moment and tentatively said:
"So classmate, can you give me your body, Kangkang?"
Xu Yun:
"." Can I take back the above sentence? I respect this der!
