Chapter 147 Have you heard of eight and a half? (6K)
After watching the picture of the tadpole.
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 let out a long sigh, shook his head and sighed:
"Amazing skills... really amazing skills..."
Although he did not personally take part in the process of extracting semen from the donkey, he watched the whole process:
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 characteristics of some animals.
Especially in terms of applause, through some action details, we can roughly estimate the level of applause.
So when he saw that Brother Donkey was about to get close, 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 is clear.
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 already old...Ahem, it would be nice if Xu Yun showed up earlier.
after all.....
I am already eighty years old.
It is true that due to his high position and his 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 based on 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.
Empress Dowager Xiang in the palace today 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 another area that can be explored.
The remaining years of my life...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 very 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 will definitely be far beyond what he is today, and he may even be written a book by future generations, such as "He Changed the Song Dynasty"?
Of course.
At this time, Xu Yun did not 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 filthy 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 bit dirty, but it's not like excrement..."
Xu Yun gritted his teeth and thought for a while, then asked tentatively:
"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.
If at that moment, the two people become eight branches again, and when they come out a little but not completely, it will be eight and a half.
So the movements are eight limbs, eight and a half...eight limbs, eight and a half...
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 are still relevant cognitions.
Therefore, 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 was 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 recovered some mobility and had finished the long sex scene, all stepped forward one after another 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.
One of the mathematicians, Lin Huainan, even sat down on the ground after leaving the microscope.
He looked like his worldview 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 the truth that ants, insects and even themselves 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 the microbiology theory will be even greater.
Of course.
Some students may ask:
Right?
How can the Protestants be so enlightened? Don’t they specialize in burning people?
Thump thump thump thump.
It’s time for popular science.
be honest.
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 completely untrue:
Copernicus died a serious death in history, and it was Bruno who was really burned to death.
Secondly, Bruno's death had nothing 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 is 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 worships the sun, and the Copernican system just caters to this requirement, so Bruno fell in love with it.
Other than that.
Bruno has never studied any astronomy knowledge and knows nothing about basic common sense.
For example, Copernicus's cosmology has two orbital motions:
One is that the stars orbit the sun, and the other is that the moon orbits the earth. This was also a controversial point 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 also 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 best. Do you understand?
Galileo said "Oh, chicken, K," and he accepted 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 became the pope, I would never let him go.
This flag, which would never end well in movies or cartoons, did not affect Urban VIII, who actually became pope in 1623...
And seeing Urban VIII becoming pope, Galileo became excited:
My friend has become the Pope, so why can’t I mention the heliocentric theory again?
So in 1624, he made a special trip to Rome to persuade his good friend.
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 to it.
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, mainly to highlight the impartial authority of our Holy See and to add his own words to this masterpiece.
In 1632, Galileo completed "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 supporter of the geocentric theory as a fool, with an IQ as stupid as the villain in the novel "The King of Soldiers" ten years ago.
.
What’s even more damning is that Urban VIII is this idiot...
As a result, Galileo was sent to the Inquisition.
The court sentenced him to life imprisonment on the spot, but in fact, this sentence has never been executed even in form:
A few days later, Galileo was sent to the home of a cardinal in Rome, where his living conditions were much better than before.
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 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 little better, somewhere between qualitative ambiguity, and some people felt that restricting freedom also constituted persecution.
But Bruno's story is simply very problematic.
Therefore, in recent years, Bruno's story has been removed from textbooks, but many people were affected by it earlier.
Many people may not know in this life that they have actually been deceived by textbooks... (Some readers guessed Bruno before, and here is a popular science. It is useless for such people to wear it. They are not scientists at all.
)
His eyes returned to reality.
After observing the X liquid slide.
Xu Yun replaced the second slide, which was also the slide 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 fecal water actually doesn't stink very much, and has a bit of a pastoral floral smell.
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 narcissus scent.
Indole and its derivatives are still very magical. They have a very special dual sense of smell:
That is to say, at very low concentrations, it has a pleasant floral fragrance, but at very high concentrations, it has a stink that kills people.
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 feces slide, it was Lao Su who stepped forward and looked into the eyepiece.
Compared with the first X-ray slide, a large number of microorganisms of different shapes can be seen in the field of view of the feces slide:
Long, short, round, irregular...
Although these little things are not as lively as tadpoles.
But judging from their movements with each other, we can still tell that these are tiny, energetic beings.
See here.
Lao Su suddenly felt blessed and shouted to Mr. Xie:
"In the first year of the year, quickly get some paper and pen and prepare to draw the drawing!"
