Chapter 140 – Butterfly Wings Flap And Flap (Big

Chapter 140 Butterfly Wings Slapping (Big Chapter)

A little over a week ago.

When writing to Jia Xian, Lao Su once mentioned some situations to Xu Yun:

Jia Xian is old, and he usually studies some relatively profound arithmetic problems, and he is not moved by money.

If you want to convince him to come to Bianjing for help, you have to come up with enough weight to make the other party’s heart beat.

So when choosing a letter to leave a message.

Xu Yun could only rack his brains to write down some knowledge that Jia Xian was most likely to be interested in.

For example, yin and yang are odd and even changes, a small number of binomial problems, and

Cube extraction is very famous in “Nine Chapters of Arithmetic”, and there are not many solutions so far.

The result was unexpected.

Xu Yun’s ‘dosage’ seems to be a bit large, and the opponent is already crawling along the network cable.

Of course.

Due to the limitation of viewing angle.

Xu Yun didn’t know that a reader of his was about to come to deliver blades in person, and this guy was still teaching a class leisurely.

On the second day after Wang Yue recovered from his illness, he saw Xiao Li, who came to the door on time, in the mansion again.

“Miss Li.”

Xu Yun first greeted Xiao Li, whom he knew very well, then glanced behind her in some surprise, and asked:

“Why don’t you see His Highness King Jian today?”

During the past period of time.

Xiao Zhao and Xiao Li will come to the door almost every one or two days, and they will listen to Xu Yun teach the introductory knowledge of physics together with Lao Su.

Now ten days have passed.

Even Xiao Zhao and Xiao Li, who have no physical foundation, can already do basic force analysis.

According to the agreement when the hall was closed two days ago.

Xiao Li and Xiao Zhao should have arrived at the mansion at the same time today. Even if Xiao Zhao couldn’t come because of something, he should have sent someone to deliver a message in advance.

After all, people in ancient times still attached great importance to the concept of keeping promises.

Even if you are releasing pigeons, you have to abide by the etiquette, and even pay some gifts to express your apology.

Unlike some authors in later generations, they clearly murmured but didn’t express anything.

Hearing Xu Yun’s question, Xiao Li’s face suddenly became solemn:

“Wang Lin, there are temporary changes in the palace today, and His Royal Highness Jian Wang may not be able to attend the class.”

Xu Yun blinked and said in surprise:

“In the palace? Isn’t His Highness King Jian no longer involved in palace affairs?”

Mentioned earlier.

After Song Huizong ascended the throne.

In order not to arouse suspicion, or to save his life, Xiao Zhao’s personality was ‘forced’ to undergo a huge change.

Not only hang around in restaurants and brothels, but also never go to the court meeting that should be attended, and have almost no contact with the court.

Even because of this, Zongzheng Temple participated in the book several times, but they were all suppressed by Song Huizong’s “magnanimity”.

In this background environment.

Today Xiao Zhao ran into the palace, how can this not surprise people?

Seeing Xu Yun’s surprised face, Xiao Li first glanced around.

After confirming that there is no one around, he lowered his voice and said:

“Last night at Yinshi, the Empress Dowager fell during the night, and the situation seems to be not good.”

Xu Yun’s pupils suddenly shrank when he heard this.

To the Queen Mother.

This is a character who has little role in the history of China, but cannot be ignored.

It is said that she has no weight because her past life has not had much trouble:

She is the great-granddaughter of Prime Minister Xiang Minzhong and the queen of Song Shenzong Zhao Xu. In 1085, Song Zhezong succeeded to the throne and honored her as the empress dowager.

In the history of China, there are definitely not many women with similar experience, but they are not too few.

From the time when Qin Yingzheng proclaimed himself emperor to the end of Puyi, there were more than 400 emperors in Chinese history, and the empress dowager conservatively estimated that there were still some in the early 300s.

Compared with empress dowagers like Cixi, the empress dowager Xiang is really not outstanding.

As for not being ignored.

It was mentioned earlier when introducing classmate Xiao Zhao. She was the biggest contributor to Song Huizong’s rise to power, and she could even be regarded as the only help.

From the nature point of view.

The Queen Mother’s choice of not knowing people or forcibly supporting Song Huizong in order to protect her status was a key turning point in the Northern Song Dynasty’s sudden death.

Thus, as a Song fan, Xu Yun also vaguely remembered the cause of the Queen Mother’s death:

AD 1101.

Empress Dowager Xiang died suddenly on a certain day in the first lunar month due to a sudden stroke.

At the age of fifty-six or fifty-seven.

Before that, the history books recorded her as ‘the body is fine’.

That is to say

According to the normal historical trajectory, it seems that the Queen Mother may probably

Haven’t fallen this way before?

Think here.

Xu Yun couldn’t help but a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Because he thought again.

Old Su.

It is also developing according to the normal track. At this time, Lao Su should have set off from Bianjing and rushed back to his hometown Jingkou.

But in this case.

Because of Xu Yun’s sudden appearance, Lao Suda gave up the idea of returning to Jingkou and stayed in Bianjing temporarily.

In addition, I rescued Wang Yue who was supposed to die. It can be said that from the perspective of the timeline, there has been a very serious discrepancy between the dungeon and the historical standard line.

More critically.

Xu Yun, or many experts in later generations have made guesses:

Old Su will die of illness next year, most likely because he fell during the period, which led to a sudden depression of mental state.

Then suppose—just suppose, what if Lao Su’s fall happened on the way back to Jingkou?

Then can this be another guess:

The fall to the queen mother should have happened to Lao Su?

It’s like the butterfly effect that has been said countless times.

Xu Yun flapped his wings on Lao Su’s mansion, and the Queen Mother Xiang in the palace was blown down?

Of course.

This is just Xu Yun’s unfounded guess, without any evidence to prove it.

After all, there is a full nine hundred years between this era and later generations, and no one can tell what the real historical details are.

Maybe in real history, the queen mother fell like this, and everything was just a coincidence?

Then Xu Yun shook his head and pushed these thoughts to the back of his mind.

Turn around and say to Xiao Li:

“The Queen Mother is ill. As a junior, His Royal Highness Jian Wang, it is also reasonable to go to visit her.

That being the case.

Miss Li, let’s do our business first, the master is already waiting in the study. “

Xiao Li nodded when he heard the words, a glint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

Then Xu Yun led Xiao Li through several courtyard walls, and finally arrived outside Lao Su’s study.

Or to be precise, it is Lao Su’s academy:

As a great book collector that Emperor Shenzong of Song Dynasty envied, there are tens of thousands of books in Lao Su’s home in Shiji, which can be called a vast ocean.

In normal history.

When Lao Su returned to Jingkou, he even directly contracted three convoys, dispatched dozens of carriages, and transported his stored books back to Jingkou.

So in this mansion.

The place where Lao Su collected books was not a room, but a courtyard composed of three two-story attics.

When Xu Yun and the others arrived at the courtyard, Old Su was sitting on a stone table in the courtyard, looking at a microscope.

That’s right.

Microscope.

Of course.

This is a simple microscope with drawings provided by Xu Yun and crudely crafted by craftsmen, with a magnification of only more than 20 times.

After all, higher-precision lenses need to be prepared through calculations, such as the mirror grinder’s formula of 1/f=(n-1)(1/r1-1/r2), etc.

At the same time, various indexes of glass products should also be considered.

Even if Xu Yun directly applied the formula, it would take at least half a month to complete it.

Not to mention that Xu Yun’s plan is to let Lao Su and the others conduct experiments by themselves, which will take even more time, at least a month or more.

But high-magnification precision is one thing, low-power microscopy is another.

Just like Lao Su himself once created a five-times-level telescope.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, without professional formula derivation, you could grind out a set of low-power microscopes by hard grinding.

Although a microscope with a power of more than 20 times is not enough to observe the cell structure, it can barely be used as an entry-level device in the microscopic field.

At least satisfy Lao Su’s curiosity or something.

After entering the courtyard, Xiao Li bowed to Old Su obediently:

“Good morning, Uncle Su.”

“Oh, Qingzhao is here.”

Old Su moved his eyes away from the microscope, and first greeted Xiao Li.

Then he let out a sigh, and asked the same topic as Xu Yun:

“Huh? Why don’t you see His Highness King Jian?”

Xiao Li and Xu Yun looked at each other, and Xiao Li repeated what he said earlier:

“Back to Uncle Su, something happened in the palace today”

Old Su listened quietly, a gleam of light flashed quietly in his eyes:

“What? The Queen Mother fell down?”

As a former prime minister, Lao Su was able to maintain a long-term neutrality between the old and new parties, and his political skills are actually quite high.

Now that he suddenly heard the news of falling to the queen mother, many speculations flashed through his mind almost immediately.

“If the Empress Dowager recuperates and delegates power, the pressure on King Jian may be even greater.”

However, considering that Xiao Li can only have access to a general situation, it is obviously impossible to know insider information, and naturally many judgments cannot be made accurately.

So after thinking about it, Old Su decided to put the matter aside, and planned to inquire about it through his own channels later.

Then he pulled his thoughts back to reality, picked up a box from the table, and said to Xu Yun:

“Xiao Wang, there are cockroaches that were beaten to death in the box, and the glass sheet was pressed according to your requirements. You can see if it is suitable.”

Xu Yun took the wooden box, gently removed the lid, and looked inside.

I saw this moment.

In the wooden box, there are several glass tablets of cockroaches. These cockroaches have been sterilized with alcohol in advance, so they don’t look particularly disgusting.

I don’t know who made the tablet, but the airtightness and uniformity are very good.

Then Xu Yun took an empty glass slide and moved the microscope under the shade of a tree.

Adjust the stage to the lowest position again, and start the operation.

I saw him put the slide into the gap at the back of the slide holder, and slowly push the slide forward with both hands.

At the same time, they said to Lao Su:

“The movement of placing the slide should be gentle, and make sure that it is directly facing the light hole.

Then look at the eyepiece with your left eye, and turn the reflector with your hands like I did until you see a bright field of view. “

Old Su looked at Xu Yun’s posture of turning the reflector, and repeated it empty-handed.

Then nodded, indicating that he remembered it.

Xu Yun continued to operate while explaining:

”After the light is adjusted, slowly turn the converter to align the low-magnification objective lens with the light hole.”

“Then stare at the objective lens with both eyes, and rotate the coarse quasi-focus screw to slowly lower the lens barrel until the objective lens is close to the glass slide.”

”Look at the eyepiece with the left eye, and rotate the coarse focusing screw to make the lens barrel rise slowly.

“Until the object image is seen, then fine-tune the object image through the fine-focus screw to make the object image clear.”

After finishing the last step, Xu Yun clasped his hands together and said:

“This is the focusing step of the microscope. After these steps are completed, the image can be observed.”

Old Su nodded, and was about to ask some questions about the steps that he didn’t remember clearly, but he heard Xiao Li on the side say:

“Wang Lin, can I try this microscope?”

Xu Yun was taken aback when he heard the words:

“Miss Li, have you memorized all these steps?”

Xiao Li tilted his head, looking a little confused:

“It’s not that I have memorized it all, but I feel that I can recover it.”

Xu Yun thought for a moment, then disrupted the order of the microscopes and gave way:

“Miss Li, come and try?”

Xiao Li didn’t hesitate too much, walked over generously, and picked up the slide a little jerky.

While talking to himself, he restored Xu Yun’s operation:

“First slice. Adjust the aperture and rotate the coarse quasi-focus screw. Then the eyepiece.. Fine focus helix. That’s it!”

Xu Yun looked at this little bean sprout in surprise.

To know.

In the last few days.

In the small class consisting of Xiao Li, Xiao Zhao and Lao Su, everyone’s learning progress is different.

Among them, the fastest is naturally Lao Su.

As a contemporary master with a certain knowledge of physics, Lao Su has already learned the concept of acceleration with his physics knowledge.

After class, Xu Yun would also ask Xu Yun to make up extra lessons for him, and sometimes it would last several hours.

A few days ago, he took Xu Yun to the hill outside Bianjing City to do a Galileo iron ball experiment.

Among the remaining two, Xiao Zhao and Xiao Li, Xiao Li’s progress is much slower than Xiao Zhao’s.

Many times, what Lao Su and Xiao Zhao can understand at once, Xiao Li has to think twice or three times before he can understand.

After all, this girl is a standard liberal arts student.

Interest is one thing, thinking and receptivity are another.

But what Xu Yun didn’t expect was that .

Xiao Li, who is somewhat stuck in physics and mathematics, seems to have some talent in biology?

This is interesting

Of course.

Whether this little bean sprout can follow the path of biology in the future needs further observation.

After all, in the end, this is just a microscopic step reduction.

Later, Lao Su also tried to get started, and after confirming that he had mastered the relevant steps, Xu Yun officially replaced the slices with cockroach specimens.

A microscope with more than 20 magnifications, the observation effect is actually similar to that of the macro cameras of later generations-interested students can go to some treasures to search, and the camera with 15 or 20 magnifications is only a dozen dollars.

I bought it and attached it to the keychain, and it is also good to look at the flowers and plants occasionally.

Although the cells cannot be seen at this magnification, some organs of the cockroach can be seen clearly under the magnification of several times.

“I see.”

Looking at the magnified hind legs of the cockroach, Old Su thought deeply:

“The reason why cockroaches can stand on the wall is because there are so many fine barbs on their feet.

The barb hooks onto the wall bump so it doesn’t fall off the wall”

“Not only that.”

Xu Yun on the side picked up a cockroach egg with homemade tweezers, and said to Old Su:

”I’m afraid you don’t know that cockroaches only need to mate once in their lifetime to reproduce continuously.

At the same time, they carry a large number of pathogenic bacteria. Throughout the ages, countless plagues have been caused by cockroaches and wasting insects.

Therefore, if one has the ability, cockroaches and wasting insects should be eliminated as much as possible. “

Old Su nodded slightly, keeping this matter in mind.

Although he has retired from office, he will not stand idly by when it comes to the source of the plague.

After all, the number of common people who died due to the plague in the past dynasties is unknown.

In a sense.

Plague is consuming the fortune of the country and hollowing out the cornerstone of the country.

If the facts are as Xu Yun said, then

ア甴, you should kill!

Later, Lao Su glanced at Xiao Li who was beside him. At this time, the girl was observing an ant, and she seemed quite interested.

He couldn’t help reaching out and touching the microscope, and said in admiration:

“Micro Micro Micro, Xiao Wang, this thing is really as mysterious and abnormal as you said.

Twenty times the lens can see the organs of cockroaches clearly, so if you can magnify it five hundred times, you may really be able to see the subtle things that are difficult to see with the naked eye.”

Although in the past few days, Lao Su has gradually accepted many concepts proposed by Xu Yun.

But as a master of ancient science, he is still cautious about some concepts.

Such as microorganisms.

After all, this thing is different from the electrolytic cell of a generator. What Xu Yun always put forward is only a theory, and there is no empirical evidence.

Accepting is one thing, fully believing and even embracing the truth is another.

At least before actually seeing the microbes or bacteria, Lao Su will have some doubts more or less.

This is actually a very normal psychology, which belongs to human nature.

After all, in a sense.

The concepts proposed by Xu Yun are far more outrageous than brainwashing, basically the same as reshaping cognition

It can only be said that as Xu Yun shows more and more scientific tools, the possibility of this possibility is also increasing, and it is infinitely close to the real hammer.

While Lao Su was talking with Xu Yun.

At the door of the study courtyard, the figure of Mr. Xie suddenly appeared:

“Master.”

Seeing this, Lao Su quickly brought his thoughts back to reality:

“Oh, the first year, what’s the matter?”

Old Du Guan hurried forward, handing over something similar to a greeting card.

Then he whispered a few words to Lao Su.

Old Su was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly said:

“Really? Hurry up please!”

Old Du Guan bowed to accept the order, while Old Su looked at Xu Yun:

“Xiao Wang, the person you were waiting for is here.”

“The person I’m waiting for?”

Xu Yun was taken aback for a moment, and then thought of something:

“Could it be Mr. Tongyu?”

The voice just fell.

Outside the academy.

Then came an old but carefree voice:

“Where is Wang Lin? Broken dog, don’t update quickly!”

Pushing a friend’s new book “Starting into the Abyss”, why didn’t it update this morning, because I was fascinated by reading this book
