Chapter 245 Opening Ceremony

Although the nitroglycerin was given a little hastily, there was no other way and there was not much time left for Xu Yun.

After all, angina pectoris caused by coronary heart disease is a sudden illness with uncertain onset time and intensity. It may only be chest tightness for a few seconds, but it may also lead to sudden death from myocardial infarction.

It is already the end of 1850. These days, there are no mobile phones or WeChat to guarantee immediate contact. In addition, Darwin is not an employee of the school, so it is hard to say when we will meet next time.

Under such circumstances, it was not easy for Xu Yun to slowly develop a relationship. Anyway, he was the descendant of that mysterious fat fish, and he was also a student at Cambridge University, so his identity was relatively reliable.

Even if Darwin had doubts, he would not turn around and throw away the medicine. At most, he would not use it unless he had to.

Once Annie was in an extremely dangerous situation and there was no medicine to treat her, he would naturally think of these nitroglycerin pills.

In his previous life, Xu Yun wrote a similar plot when he was writing a novel. As a result, a reader posted a comment: In reality, this approach is not advisable. When nitroglycerin comes into contact with air, it will form a thin film, which will affect the efficacy of the medicine.

how to say

This approach will definitely affect the efficacy of the medicine, which is unavoidable.

But first, drug failure has nothing to do with film formation.

Secondly, as long as it is wrapped tightly with cloth and not exposed to high temperature and light, the efficacy of the medicine will not be affected too much.

Nitroglycerin tablets do form a thin film with air, but that is due to the polyvinylpyrrolidone and has nothing to do with the nitroglycerin component.

The reason why the efficacy of nitroglycerin is reduced in the air is actually because it is unstable and will evaporate under high temperature and sunlight. The last three words are recommended for readers in Fujian Province to read them several times.

That's why its bottle is brown.

As for wrapping nitroglycerin in cloth, this is a very original and effective way of preservation.

For example, William Merrill initially used cloth tablets for preservation, because tablet pressing technology was not stable at that time and there was a certain risk of explosion of nitroglycerin.

It’s just that in the modern context, our technology and preservation conditions are sufficient, so doctors will immediately instruct them to seal and preserve it. Not many patients can understand the in-depth introduction to the ingredients of polyvinylpyrrolidone, which will waste time and money.

energy.

Again, maybe this approach will lose some of the efficacy of the medicine, but in 1850, Xu Yun did not have the ability to follow the procedures of later generations honestly. He only had such a bottle on him, and it was impossible to use this bottle.

Didn't all the nitroglycerin go to Darwin?

The efficacy of the drug is lost by 10% or 20%, and sometimes the impact is not that big. Not to mention that the function of nitroglycerin lozenges is to relax vascular smooth muscle, and the nitric oxide released is actually higher than the model dose.

As long as it does not evaporate more than 30%, it will be effective for angina pectoris.

Hey, have you just covered 700 words of water science?

Ahem, let’s get back to the topic.

After handing the nitroglycerin to Darwin, Xu Yun and Lao Da temporarily separated, ending this unexpected meeting.

He then checked some more information and estimated that the time was almost up, so he went to find Wheat on the first floor, and the two returned to the dormitory together.

In the next four days, the two of them went to and from the library with blank stares, while Xiaomai previewed the text, and Xu Yun gained a more detailed understanding of the current timeline.

There are gains and there are disappointments.

Needless to say, it is a gain. Now Xu Yun has basically mastered the changed European timeline.

Disappointment

Perhaps because the means of shipping are still underdeveloped, there are not many oriental literature available in the Cambridge Library. Even if they are available, they are mostly introductions to India or neon, and there are very few books about China itself.

You know, starting in 1707, the Cambridge Library can be regarded as one of the most complete libraries in the UK.

It is estimated that there is no collection of books that is not even found here in the UK.

However, although there are not many reference books, Xu Yun is certain of one thing: that is, the local history has hardly changed.

For example, the Northern Song Dynasty was still bulldozed in a wave in 1126. Zhu Yuanzhang rose to power a hundred years later, the Ming Dynasty reopened the Song Dynasty, Li Zicheng conquered Yanjing in 1644, and Chongzhen died for his country by hanging himself from the southeastern branch of the old crooked neck tree.

Originally, Xu Yun thought that the reason why the mainland could not survive the increase in Western productivity might have something to do with what he did in the Old Su dungeon. Although it could not be the original 1100 dungeon timeline, it was probably around

Certain areas have a certain connection similar to Easter eggs.

For example, breakthroughs in weapons or metal smelting have strengthened the local defense, etc.

But now it seems that there is no connection between the mainland and myself in this world line. The reason why the mainland has been able to survive for so long is purely for other reasons.

This conclusion has both good and bad consequences.

The good thing is that you don't have to worry about the divine punishment of historical nihilism, and you can live your own life peacefully.

The bad thing is that there are no local countermeasures, and the painful history of humiliation in modern times is destined to be inevitable.

Three days later, Aveline delivered the class schedule to Xu Yun and Xiaomai as promised.

Another day passed.

Cambridge University officially opens.

The number of students admitted to Cambridge in the class of 1850 was about 200 more than before. The number of students enrolled in a single class was around 700, which is a considerable increase.

According to Thomson, the UK is now preparing to flex its muscles in the Far East, so it has carried out a round of recruitment expansion for fresh graduates to prepare to cultivate more reserve talents.

In fact, Cambridge University is pretty good, but Oxford University is even more outrageous this year. It enrolled more than 600 students in one go. (This is a real situation that happened in 1840 and was used until 1850)

Among the 700 people recruited by Cambridge University, the number of graduate students is about 220.

At the same time, because some colleges do not offer postgraduate courses, after breakdown, for each college that has postgraduate courses, the number of newly recruited graduate students is about 25-35.

The number of postgraduate students assigned to Trinity College is neither too large nor too small, just 29.

As for undergraduate freshmen, there were more students, with 67 students allocated.

However, unlike many schools in later generations, the entrance ceremony of Cambridge University was not held uniformly by the whole school, but was hosted by each college. From this, it is not difficult to see the degree of autonomy of each college, which is similar to that of Jiangsu in later generations.

Therefore, it was a coincidence that Xu Yun and Xiaomai's entrance ceremonies happened to be held in the same classroom.

In the early morning of this day, Xu Yun and Xiaomai woke up early.

"Mr. Luo Feng."

After washing up, Xiaomai took out a suit from the suitcase. After dressing neatly, he straightened the folds of the cuffs, checked up and down, and said to Xu Yunde:

"Does my outfit fit me?"

Xu Yun touched his chin and looked at it for a moment, then nodded:

"Not bad, he's quite handsome. It shouldn't be a big problem to find a girlfriend."

Seeing this, Xiaomai shyly scratched her sparse hair and smiled:

"This is a lawyer's suit that my dad just retired from. In fact, according to the original idea, I wanted to use the scholarship prepaid by the college to customize a suit."

"But my dad said that this suit of his has won many lawsuits with him and can bring good luck to people, so he gave this suit to me."

When Xu Yun heard this, a picture of a loving father and a filial son emerged in his mind, and he nodded approvingly:

"What a good father. By the way, what will happen if he doesn't have a suit to wear in the future?"

Xiaomai paused with his hand movements, glanced at Xu Yun in surprise, and said:

"Who said he doesn't have a suit anymore? He used my scholarship money to customize a new one."

Xu Yun: ""

Something seems wrong?

Then Xiaomai took out the square-toed shoes that Laomai had made for him and rearranged his hairstyle.

If he didn't have that strong Scottish accent coming out of his mouth, he would still look 73 times as handsome as readers.

Compared to Xiaomai's seriousness, Xu Yun is much simpler. Whatever he was wearing when he traveled through time is how he is dressed now.

After packing your belongings.

Xu Yun and Xiaomai left the dormitory together.

“perfie lecture theater”

Xu Yun and Xiaomai held the essential "Bible" of Trinity College in one hand and the classroom information given by Aveline in the other hand. They searched according to the pictures and co-authored the memories left during the year when they were exchange students. They quickly found

This lecture theater is located on Hamill Avenue.

This perfie lecture theater in Trinity College is ranked among the best in the entire Cambridge University and can accommodate about 500 people.

In his previous life, Xu Yun had taken several classes in the perfie classroom. At that time, the lecture theater was equipped with all modern equipment and was very advanced. It even had VR and AR equipment and a lifting platform on the ground.

Therefore, Xu Yun always thought that this classroom was built in modern times, but unexpectedly, it turned out that it had already existed in 1850.

When Xu Yun and Xiaomai came to the classroom, there were four student union officials with armbands outside the door verifying their student cards.

The four cadres, two men and two women, had different college badges on their chests. Xu Yun could only recognize two of them:

The tallest boy went to Trinity College, and he will never forget the school emblem of his college.

Another girl wears the emblem of Peter College on her chest.

The reason why Xu Yun recognized this academy emblem was mainly because it was highly recognizable:

It was a shield icon with a red background, surrounded by eight crowns on the inside, and five yellow vertical strips in the middle. If replaced with a turret, it would almost be the Arsenal team emblem.

As for the remaining two Xu Yuns, he is not sure. His knowledge of the academy emblem is indeed limited.

After arriving in front of the three of them, Mai Mai and Xu Yun obediently handed over their student cards.

The tall boy with the Trinity College emblem took the student card, glanced at the roster, and suddenly raised his eyebrows:

"James Clerk Maxwell, are you the fee-reduction student brought back by Thomson?"

Mai nodded and reached out his hand:

"Hello, senior, I am Maxwell."

The tall boy's eyes stayed on Mai's outstretched hand for a few seconds, and finally shook hands with him:

"Frederick Agar Ellis, a third-year postgraduate student in the Department of Mathematics at Trinity College. Perhaps we will meet again in the future."

Then he glanced at Xu Yun again, with an inexplicable look flashing in his eyes, and said:

"Two students, you can enter the classroom now. Seats should not exceed the first six rows. I wish you a happy stay at Cambridge University."

Xiaomai opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more, but Xu Yun pulled him and bowed slightly to Ellis:

"Please take good care of me in the future, Senior Ellis."

After saying that, he took Mai into the classroom.

At this time, there were about forty people sitting in the classroom, discussing some content in groups of twos and threes. The professor and college leaders seemed not to have arrived yet, and Stokes was nowhere to be seen, but the seat in the first row had been reserved.

Already.

Seeing Xiaomai and Xu Yun enter.

Many people subconsciously turned to look at the two of them, wanting to see if they were handsome beauties or acquaintances.

Ever since

Swish

Xu Yun instantly felt that a lot of eyes were on him, and he could hear a few cold snorts in his ears.

Xu Yun: ""

no way.

Oriental faces are still too conspicuous.

Oriental + a Scottish blond boy = backdoor + Fei Jiansheng, this formula has almost spread throughout Cambridge University.

Then he took Mai and found a seat farther back, planning to wait for the leaders to arrive.

As soon as he sat down, Xiaomai seemed to have been holding back for a long time and couldn't wait to say to Xu Yun:

"Mr. Luo Feng, why do I feel that Senior Ellis's attitude seems a bit strange?"

In the past few days, Xiaomai has been considered a celebrity. On the way to the library or eating, he often met Cambridge students who were surprised when they heard his name.

Some of these people are friendly, some are skeptical, and some are jealous.

all in all.

Xiaomai can clearly judge from the words and expressions of these people whether the other person's attitude towards him is good or bad.

But only the Ellis whom he had just met gave Xiaomai an indescribable meaning.

Friendship is definitely out of the question, but hostility doesn’t seem that extreme.

When he thought of that man's half-smiling expression, Xiaomai felt something cold on the back of his head, as if someone had put a cold hand on his neck.

Then Xu Yun raised his eyelids and glanced at him, took back his warmed hands from his neck, and said meaningfully:

"Why, didn't you notice?"

Xiaomai blinked, and a question mark appeared on his face:

"Discovered? Discovered what?"

Xu Yun moved his chin towards the entrance and prompted:

"Graduate student in the Department of Mathematics, third-year qualifications, and Mr. Thomson was mentioned. Haven't you realized something?"

Wheat was stunned for a moment.

This Scottish young man was really honest, but that didn't mean he was a fool of a man, so he soon widened his eyes:

"No, Mr. Luo Feng, you mean"

Xu Yun nodded affirmatively and said:

"Yes, he must be one of Mr. Thomson's competitors for the President of the Student Union!"

At the same time, the second half of Xiaomai's words also came over:

"You're saying that Senior Ellis likes Mr. Thomson, who is in the same grade, and he became jealous when he saw that he made a special trip to Ireland to pick me up?"

After a while.

The two of them suddenly stared at each other: "?"

Note:

I didn’t want to make up people’s names myself, so I checked the alumni list of Trinity College, University of Cambridge in 1850. It took me an hour to check the alumni list of Trinity College, University of Oxford.

The easter egg chapter is attached with a screenshot of the alumni page. I can guarantee that everyone who appears is a real person who existed in history. For the sake of being so serious, please give me some monthly votes.

This month's monthly pass is really, really important. It has some issues related to the direction of our book. I can't really say it clearly, but it is much more important than in the past few months.
