Chapter 235 I didn’t want to show off, but you have to force me
When Francis walked up to Li Qiwei and others, he was surprised by Li Qiwei among a group of middle-aged people.
The other person should be the youngest, and he has an oriental face.
Francis was curious that he could sit calmly among a group of scientists.
At this time, Bateson stood up and introduced: "Professor Francis, this is Professor Bruce of Physics."
"After all, we are all still alumni."
Francis was not as shocked as he imagined. He might have guessed it before.
He had heard of Li Qiwei's name a long time ago. He knew that there was such a person when he was still stirring up trouble at Cambridge University.
But firstly, their majors are different, and secondly, Francis has a super awesome dad.
So he didn’t have much admiration for Li Qiwei.
Compared to the field of life sciences, Li Qiwei's achievements are still some distance away from Darwin.
Furthermore, people who study evolution can easily come up with an unspoken view that there are differences in human races.
Some races are naturally more perfectly evolved, that is, they are better than the average race.
This kind of thinking is still there even in later generations.
And the bigger the scientist, the more serious this idea is.
There is an example from the United States in later generations. A Nobel Prize winner in physiology or medicine publicly declared that certain races are inherently inferior.
The remarks immediately caused an uproar.
In this era, Francis inherited his father's mantle. Although he didn't have such extreme ideas, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
The British Empire dominates the world, but among its defeated generals, a super genius in physics appears.
Some people will be very upset.
Francis said flatly: "Oh, it turns out to be Professor Bruce, hello."
Li Qiwei felt the other party's indifference, and of course he would not warm up to someone else's cold butt.
So he said calmly: "Hello, Francis."
At this time, Francis turned to look at Bateson and asked with a smile: "Bate Sen, what were you talking about just now? You were so excited. "
"And you said you can help me win the debate. What do you mean? Could it be that your experiment has made a new breakthrough?"
Bateson, Morgan and others looked at each other, and then said with a smile: "It's not just a breakthrough, it's a huge breakthrough, a huge transcendence!"
Morgan also echoed: "Mr. Darwin The theory of evolution will probably become as classic as Newtonian mechanics."
"It is a high, unbreakable rule that governs the reproduction and evolution of life."
Frances was shocked. , feeling incredible.
Although he respects his father extremely, but compared with Newton's influence, it is indeed a little bit behind.
Compared with Newton's three laws of mechanics and the law of universal gravitation, the theory of evolution lacks some logical self-consistency, so it cannot operate perfectly.
But decades have passed and no one has been able to make up for the flaws in the theory of evolution. Now Bateson actually claims that there has been a huge breakthrough?
He knows this Bateson and knows that the other party will definitely not lie.
"What's going on, Bateson, tell me quickly."
Then, Bateson introduced Li Qiwei's improved theory of evolution to Francis.
"Gene mutations produce various sources of variation."
"Natural selection eliminates useless mutations."
"What remains are the best traits of organisms selected by natural selection."
< br>Francis was shocked when Bateson explained the concept of genetic mutation in detail.
This idea is so genius!
As a professor of botany, Francis certainly knew Mendel's name.
Especially the other party's experiments have attracted renewed attention in recent years.
Concepts such as genetic factors and genes are very popular nowadays.
But Francis did not think that Mendel's work was comparable to that of his father Darwin.
So, he did not study the pea experiment in depth.
Now, when he heard Bateson's explanation, he realized how important the concept of genes was.
Isn’t this the missing link in my father’s theory?
Francis screamed crazily in his heart.
“Oh, my God, that is to say, as early as forty years ago, if my father knew this concept, with his wisdom, he would have thought of this.”
“ The theory of evolution coupled with the theory of genes turns out to be the theory of evolution in a perfect state.”
"Father, your theory is finally going to be reborn and become authoritative!"
At this moment, Francis was trembling with excitement.
Verifying the correctness of the theory of evolution has been his father's lifelong wish.
Now, this wish will soon be realized, how can Francis not be excited.
And after completing the theory of evolution, he will be able to make the other party speechless when he debates with others.
No, he would never have a chance to argue again, because everyone would agree with the theory of evolution.
The theory of evolution that supplements the concept of genetic mutation is impeccable.
Francis said excitedly: "Bateson, it's amazing, it's really amazing."
"I can't think of any words to describe the amazingness of genetic mutation."
“Is this your latest research result?”
Bateson smiled and waved his hand, "I'm not that genius."
Francis looked at Morgan again, and the other party also smiled and waved his hand.
Then he looked at De Vries, Collens, and Cermak, but these three people still waved their hands.
He even looked at Wilson in the end, but Wilson was very disrespectful and just shrugged.
As for Li Qiwei, he was directly ignored by Francis.
In his eyes, Li Qiwei, a physicist, was just here to join in the fun.
Can you understand the theory of evolution? Those professional terms cannot be derived by relying on formulas.
Professional people should do professional things.
Francis muttered: "It's strange, it wasn't you who proposed it."
"Bateson, you are already an authority in the field of life sciences."
"Has a new genius appeared recently?"
"But I haven't heard of it at all."
Bateson couldn't hold back his laughter anymore, and he stopped teasing Ferrand. Sis, smiled and said: "Oh, don't guess."
"You can never guess right if you guess like this." "The person who proposed genetic mutation and completed the theory of evolution is Among us.”
When Francis heard this, his eyes widened and he felt incredible.
He has obviously asked everyone just now.
No.
No!
There was one person he didn't ask.
Could it be?
Although he was unwilling to admit that fact in his heart, when he turned his attention to Li Qiwei, the latter's face was calm, neither sad nor happy.
Francis felt like something was blocked in his throat and he couldn't say a word.
He pointed at Li Qiwei with a trembling finger, summoned all his strength, and asked Bateson in disbelief: "Did Bruce propose it?"
Bateson From the look on Francis's face, I thought he was also frightened by Bruce's genius.
He smiled and replied: "It is the genetic mutation proposed by Bruce."
"And he also applied genetic mutation to the theory of evolution, which made up for the theoretical flaws."
"Bruce is It has brought breakthrough contributions to the field of life sciences.”
“.”
Boom!
Francis could no longer hear Bateson's words at all.
There is only one sentence that keeps repeating in his mind.
“How is it possible?”
“How is it possible?”
“How is it possible?”
Li Qiwei, whom he had always looked down upon, actually complemented his father's theory.
That's something he couldn't complete even after spending decades.
Now, such a feat has been accomplished by a Qing man.
And according to Bateson, this was actually something the other party came up with in his spare time.
Because the other party is a physicist after all, and his main job is to study physics.
Compared with Ridgway, Francis felt that all the biologists in the world had lived in vain.
He really couldn't accept this reality.
My indifference to others just now is like a knife, engraved on my face, causing pain.
Francis didn’t know how he should continue to face Li Qiwei.
Apologize? That's impossible!
Nothing happened between them.
Welcoming you with a smile? Congratulations to each other for making such a major breakthrough in the field of biology.
He asked himself that he couldn’t do it.
Francis is now in the most embarrassing moment of his life.
Li Qiwei’s response just now has actually shown his attitude.
If you don't care about me, I won't care about you either.
At this time, Bateson seemed to have discovered something unusual about Francis.
However, he didn't think that way.
In such a noisy and exciting environment, it is difficult for people to think about sad things.
He thought Francis was just too excited to help himself.
After all, this was the fulfillment of his father Darwin's lifelong wish, so it was reasonable to be so excited.
At this time, Wilson, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Bruce, why don't you go to the podium and let the arrogant guy on the other side continue talking."
"Let him see what he has to say." Our number one genius in physics is so scary.”
Li Qiwei was speechless. You really love me, Wei. It’s not a big deal to watch the fun.
This is the home field of biology. I’ll go up and figure out what’s going on.
But Li Qiwei didn't expect that while he, the emperor, was not in a hurry, the others were.
After Bateson helped Francis to his seat to rest, he smiled and said: "Yes, Bruce, you can go up."
"Anyway, this is a conference speech, who Everyone can go up.”
“In your capacity, if you propose genetic mutation and perfect the theory of evolution, it will definitely cause a sensation.”
“This is also a great thing for our field of life sciences. .”
Morgan and others also echoed: "Yes, Bruce, go up."
Only Francis looked at Li Qiwei blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Li Qiwei was helpless when he saw this.
If he doesn’t go up, he will lose face.
He complained to himself: I didn’t want to show off, but you have to force me.
So, he stood up and walked towards the podium at a fast pace.
The people around him were suddenly attracted to him and looked at him, wondering what this young man was going to do.
After entering the podium, Li Qiwei patted the loudspeaker gently with his hand to check whether it was intact, appearing very sophisticated.
No way, he has attended too many meetings and has developed a conditioned reflex.
At this time, not only the people in the VIP seats, but also the ordinary audience in the audience noticed something strange.
"What's going on? Wasn't that Francis left speechless just now?"
"Why is there another young man coming up now?"
"Could it be that he Do you want to continue the debate?"
Suddenly, someone in the crowd seemed to recognize Li Qiwei and shouted in disbelief.
“Oh, my God, he is Bruce Lee, the number one genius in physics.”
"The physicist who helped Hubble invent synthetic ammonia."
Boom!
The whole place was shocked!
