Chapter 249 The biggest surprise since the dungeon was opened! (5.8K)
The appearance of Faraday can be called the second climax since the opening ceremony.
For example, around Xu Yun, some students had their heads pressed down and began to discuss in low voices what questions they were going to ask Faraday for.
Xiaomai's expression was also very excited, and he kept shouting words such as "Great, great".
But his excitement was not the excitement of meeting a 'soulmate', but pure admiration for a famous person.
For example, Xu Yun showed the same emotion when he learned that he could join the team of Academician Pan, the most handsome man at USTC.
After all, wheat at this time is not a complete body, and is just a student in the mathematics department for the time being.
He had not actually read Faraday's works, let alone constructed a complete concept of electromagnetism.
But Xu Yun knew it very well.
This situation will definitely not last long.
Because Wheat's talent in electromagnetism is too high.
He seems to be a 'son of electromagnetism' who fell into the world in order to study electromagnetism. He has an unusual affinity and compatibility with electromagnetism.
Although Xiaomai himself likes mathematics very much, he even once said something like "My life is only about mathematics, so go to your mother for love."
But after being exposed to electromagnetism.
Just like the heroine who met OO in the book, he threw himself into the embrace of electromagnetism without hesitation.
Therefore, as long as the opportunity is right, Wheat will soon intersect with Faraday.
Xu Yun is still looking forward to this day. This may be the most positive world line change in this dungeon.
As for the encounter between wheat and Faraday that some people are worried about, it will promote the rapid development of Western technology and ultimately lead to a situation where the East cannot stand up
joke.
First of all, both Wheat and Faraday were staunch anti-war parties.
Wheat's anti-war remarks have been introduced before. As for Faraday, although he did not comment on Yicrow, during the Crimean War, Faraday refused to manufacture chemical weapons for Britain.
Secondly, don’t forget one thing
Xu Yun is the executor of the dungeon mission.
Although he has emphasized countless times that he has no sympathy for the current Qing government, it is not difficult to lay some back-up players in the long term.
He even has some plans now, but he just hasn't had the chance to implement them yet - don't worry, it's not a matter of seeking death.
Let’s take a step back 10,000 steps.
If the development of things really exceeds Xu Yun's control, the West will develop rapidly and its technological progress will far exceed that of later generations.
So the ancient Chinese nation will be unable to recover from this, and will never be able to recover?
That’s nonsense!
Throughout the entire history of civilization, the Chinese nation has spent five thousand years proving one thing:
We may be in difficulty and poor for a certain period of time. We may be lying in rags on the ground, being crushed on the cheek with the toe of someone's shoe but unable to resist. We may be treated as a meal on the plate and let everyone eat us.
But we will never fall. Even in the face of a fatal injury that penetrates the heart, the Chinese nation will still survive tenaciously and miraculously recover its vitality.
We secretly accumulated strength to pull down the enemies who were looking down on us, and punched them hard with fists as big as sandbags, hitting them hard to the flesh.
Finally he stood up, spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm with disdain, said that's it, and walked higher with his head held high.
This is not obscenity. History in ancient times, modern times, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China can prove everything.
This is the resilience of a nation that has been passed down for five thousand years, and it is also Xu Yun’s greatest confidence in daring to cause trouble!
His eyes returned to reality.
After William Whewell said his name, an energetic little old man quickly stood up in the first row of seats.
This person has white hair that is parted in the middle in a Kunkun style, with a straight nose and two sword-shaped eyebrows that make people subconsciously think of Zhu Shimao with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
Faraday is now 59 years old, and his face is older than the portraits commonly seen in later generations, but the shadow of his youthful beauty is still visible.
Facing this sage, Xu Yun applauded seriously.
After Faraday took his seat, all the professors in charge had finished their introductions.
Follow normal procedures.
The next step should be for the student representatives to speak, and the seminary can at most just give a few blessings and prayers.
Then stand up and sing one or two widely circulated hymns and that's it.
But what surprised Xu Yun was
William Whewell had no intention of giving up the podium, but slowly glanced around the classroom.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
Xu Yun felt that the other party's eyes seemed to stay on him for a while longer.
Then William Whewell paused and changed the topic:
"This year, the teaching staff of the University of Cambridge has welcomed new professors such as Mr. McCulloch and Mr. Faraday, and in terms of students, we have also recruited a group of international students from different countries."
"I wonder if you still remember a number I mentioned before."
"This year's 374 new students in the four seminaries come from 87 towns in the UK and 11 countries around the world. More than 11% of the new students are international students."
"This is the year when the four seminaries have recruited the most international students in hundreds of years. They come from Gaul, Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, and even."
"China."
A low buzz suddenly sounded in the classroom.
Two areas had the most severe reactions.
One place was naturally next to Xu Yun. At this time, many people turned to look at him and vaguely discussed something whose content could be guessed.
The other place was five or six rows in front of him to the right, and he couldn't see clearly due to the blocked line of sight.
However, considering that it is not uncommon for black people to study these days, the discussion over there may be caused by their clothing and so on?
For example, African totem natives or Indians, or nuns?
And just when Xu Yun was guessing.
William Whewell looked at Prince Albert in the audience again, nodded slightly without moving his expression, and said:
"Okay, everyone, please be quiet first."
"As we all know, there are often extremely thick cultural barriers between countries, which are difficult to break down in a short period of time."
“Therefore, for these students, the difficulty of adapting to campus is higher than that of ordinary students.”
"So at the recent executive meeting, some school directors put forward a suggestion - to equip each international student with one or more study partners of the opposite sex. This may speed up everyone's integration."
Under the ceremonial stage.
Xu Yun's mouth twitched slightly.
Good guy.
Why does this approach feel so familiar?
Then William Whewell smiled, picked up the water glass, moistened his throat, and said:
"Of course, this suggestion was rejected in the end."
“Finally, through the resolution of all the school directors, we decided to invite these international students to the stage to introduce themselves at the opening ceremony.”
"This is also the first public introduction of international students organized at the college level since the establishment of the University of Cambridge. Maybe it will become a standardized link in the future."
"Now each international student has five minutes of language organization time - I'm sorry for not informing you in advance, but this can show the most authentic side, isn't it?"
Hear this.
From several locations under the stage.
Including Xu Yun, many people had a look of dullness and surprise on their faces at the same time.
Introduce yourself?
This is a process that no one informed before the opening ceremony
But think about it carefully.
There are a total of 374 students on site. Based on the proportion of international students of 11%, the number of international students is about 41.
From the time everyone is called to take the stage to the introduction is completed, it takes about one minute at a fast pace and two or three minutes at a slow pace.
The whole process takes about an hour in total, which is not that long.
Xu Yun also encountered this kind of request when he was an exchange student, and was even coaxed by some classmates to perform a show:
At that time, he sang a song called "Serving the Country with Devotion", and no one dared to let him touch the microphone during that year in Cambridge.
But Xu Yun is not the most arrogant.
Later in life, he met a funny guy who had pretty good grades and went to Waseda University to study abroad.
As a result, this guy sang a song in Chinese at the welcome ceremony, "Cut off the heads of the Japanese with a big knife", and then a bunch of neon people under the stage were still clapping and applauding
This is true, cough cough.
His eyes returned to reality.
After announcing the next arrangements, William Whewell waited for a few more minutes and then said:
"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, let's get back to the topic."
"I have a list of international students from four colleges in my hand. Now I invite the students I called to come on stage to introduce themselves. The first international student to come on stage is"
"Mr. Tatum Austin!"
The words fell.
The scene immediately burst into applause.
Another moment passed.
A black man with thick lips stood up from the left side of the podium awkwardly, touched his nose, and trotted to the stage.
William Whewell gave up his position and said with a smile:
"Student Austin, don't be too nervous, come on!"
The black man blushed and nodded, scratched behind his ears with his fingers, took a deep breath, and said loudly:
"Hello everyone, I am Tatum Austin, majoring in agriculture at Peter College. I am 17 years old and I am from Mozambique."
"My dream is to cultivate the most productive watermelon and cotton in the world, thank you everyone!"
Finished.
He hurriedly bowed to the audience and quickly returned to his seat.
There was a sparse burst of applause from the audience.
The formation was obviously much smaller than when it first appeared, and it was obvious that everyone was not satisfied.
William Whewell also applauded. After watching Tatum Austin return to his seat, he read out the next name:
"Max Christian Friedrich Bruch!"
"Huh?"
Hearing the name, Xu Yun sat upright and became slightly interested.
After a while.
A man with a hairstyle and beard somewhat similar to Li Kui, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose walked up to the stage.
I saw him first calmly shaking hands with William Whewell, then nodding to Prince Albert and others in the audience, and then said:
"Hello, handsome gentlemen and beautiful ladies, I am Max Christian Friedrich Bruch from Germany."
"Starting from this year, I will study theology and classical music at Trinity College. I will also hold performances on campus from time to time. Everyone is welcome to come."
Compared to the previous one, Tatum Austin, this student named Max Christian Friedrich Bruhl was obviously much more calm.
Xu Yun took a few more glances at his seat and determined that the other person should be Bruch.
This gentleman is also considered a celebrity, a composer and conductor who can occupy a place in the Cambridge alumni list.
At the age of 14, he won the Mozart Scholarship in Frankfurt and studied under Schiller, Reinecke and others.
Judging from his age, it is historical fact that he now comes to Cambridge to study for a doctorate.
"Loreira" and "Vorishchof" composed by Max Christian Friedrich Bruch are both famous pieces. In his last life, Xu Yun even lost a song when he listened to "Lorela" at the Shanghai Opera House. mobile phone.
So I can’t say how deep the impression was.
At least the name and the person are correct.
After introducing myself.
Max Christian Friedrich Bruch sang another song in bel canto and won applause from the whole house.
After all, young literary and artistic people are still very popular these days.
Let’s not talk about the distant ones, let’s talk about the nearby ones - Xiaomai, a math master, usually likes to write poems, even though the content is not very good.
For example, when this guy saw the mirror galvanometer invented by Lao Tang, he couldn't help himself and wrote a very famous poem in the history of physics:
【The light falls on the blackened wall,
Through the slit
So the slender beam of light hit the scale,
Searching back and forth, the oscillation gradually stopped.
Flow, current, flow, let the light spots fly away quickly,
The flowing current makes the light spot shoot, tremble, and disappear...】
When Xu Yun saw this poem, he thought Xiaomai was describing a vibrating egg.
Other than that.
Wheat also wrote such as "Please tell me, this poem, this message flying out of your chest, can there be an electric current in your heart?" 】【A quick ticking sound ended my anxiety. 】Such dirty talk.
This is true for the scientific research community of wheat, let alone the environment in the UK and Europe as a whole.
There is no doubt about it.
In the next period of time, this Max Christian Friedrich Bruch will inevitably become one of the talking heads among the freshmen.
Then William Whewell returned to the auditorium again and announced the names of several students one after another:
"Makabaka Oke." (There really is such a person)
"Klinda Nikolic"
"Ugo Daniels."
More than half an hour later.
William Whewell glanced at the list as usual, his expression condensed slightly, and he glanced meaningfully at the audience:
"Gentlemen and ladies, the classmate I am going to introduce to you next has a somewhat special origin."
“Throughout the history of Cambridge University, we have recruited international students from other European countries, as well as students from Africa and even the Americas.”
"But apart from British India, we have never before admitted an Asian student from an independent sovereign country."
"But this year, this not-so-glorious record officially came to an end. We welcomed the first Chinese international student to be admitted through self-study examination since the founding of the school!"
I heard the word "Chinese international students".
Xu Yun suddenly felt shocked, took a deep breath, and prepared to stand up on stage.
But the next second.
The name spoken by William Whewell made his pupils shrink suddenly!
"We have a treat below."
"haosuo.Tian!"
The words just fell.
Ten meters in front of Xu Yun's right.
In another area where the discussion had been prominent, a thin young man suddenly stood up.
Black hair, black eyes, yellow skin, wearing a mandarin jacket, combed
A long braid.
After the man stood up, he pursed his lips and walked to the stage with a solemn expression, and bowed awkwardly to William Whewell.
Then he came to the stage and swallowed.
Dry said in less than standard English:
"Hello fellow alumni, I am Tian Haosuo from Guangdong Province, China. I am 18 years old and an undergraduate student in the Department of Mathematics at Trinity College." (End of Chapter)
