Chapter 327: To rebuild the glory of the Hook family, is it our duty to...? (8.2K)
"..."
Tell the truth.
In fact, when I first met this carefree young man.
Xu Yun was still somewhat confused.
I and my group were walking around the expo peacefully, but why would someone show up with a hostile face and provoke me for no reason?
You might as well get your A's when playing games to pull monsters, but you don't look so good that you deserve a beating, right?
But after knowing the identity of the other party.
Although Xu Yun's mood became more complicated, he completely understood the reason why the other party was hostile to him.
after all.......
He is a descendant of Robert Hooke...
One thing to say.
This is an old enemy of the Mavericks.
The fundamental reason for the conflict between the two lies in the grudge between Mavericks’ teacher Barrow, the previous generation:
Back then, Barrow made a fuss during a certain match between Oxford and Cambridge, and even stole Hook's unrequited love, Yinluo Bryce.
So after graduation, Hooker first challenged Barrow.
The Mavericks in history did not have Xu Yun hanging on the wall, so Barrow was unable to solve Hooker's problem and was humiliated in public.
The mentor of Mavericks, who only enjoyed the first half of his life, resigned as Professor Lucas two years later and died of depression.
Then when Maverick first entered the Royal Society, Hooke claimed that he had invented the bovine anti-telescope and launched another attack on Maverick.
The two fought in darkness, reaching the edge of the physical world and almost destroying the great avenue.
Although the Mavericks were the ultimate winner.
But when he first entered the Royal Society and his wings were not yet full, he also encountered overwhelming pressure from Hooke.
This pressure caused Mavericks' temperament to become more extremely self-interested, which had a great impact on his reputation in later generations.
And in the copy.
Due to the appearance of Xu Yun, the Mavericks took the place of Burrow and defused Hooker's fatal blow.
And according to the deduction results...
Although Hook did not end up with no portrait left as in history, he was more murderous in nature:
April 1672.
Hooke proposed the concept that light waves are transverse waves, but was slapped in the face by Mavericks a month later with the dispersion equation.
March 1674.
Hooke proposed the theory of planetary motion.
But before the letter was sent, Mavericks disclosed the formula for the square ratio of elliptical orbits.
In August of the same year.
Mavericks proposed Hooke's law originally proposed by Hooke in 1678 as "Newton's Law of Mechanics", and it became an instant hit.
Finding that there was no road ahead, Hooke transferred his energy to the field of optical instruments. However, two weeks before the relevant theory was about to make a breakthrough, Hooke saw the refraction angle product formula published by Mavericks.
1675.
Hooke developed the balance spring.
Although Mavericks did not release scientific research progress during the same period, on the day Hooke's paper was announced, Hooke's crush, Yinluo Bryce, gave birth to Barrow's third child...
It hurts, it really hurts.JPG.
Of course.
Perhaps it is precisely because Hooker did not cause much harm to the Mavericks in this timeline.
Although Hook in the dungeon is a bit miserable, the main blow is psychological.
Physically, he died unexpectedly and left behind many heirs, who have continued to reproduce healthily until now.
"Luo Feng, after Sir Newton became the president of the Royal Society, he still retained Robert Hooke's membership, and his descendants were able to continue to engage in scientific research."
"It's just that due to ancestral grudges, the relationship between the Aisku and Hook families has not been harmonious."
Looking at Sissoko Hook with his hands in his pockets, Lao Tang quickly introduced the situation of this descendant of Hook to Xu Yun:
"Robert Hooke entered Oxford University in 1653 and graduated with a master's degree in 1663. He was an Oxford man through and through."
"Therefore, Hooke's descendants are naturally proud to be admitted to Oxford University."
"This young man named Sissoko Hook is the eldest son of this generation of the Hook family. He is romantic by nature, but very capable. Be careful."
Xu Yun nodded thoughtfully.
Hooke and Calf, Oxford and Cambridge.
When the two buffs are added together, it is normal for Sissoko Hook to pop out.
And just when Xu Yun and Lao Tang were whispering.
Aveline gently pushed a strand of hair behind her ear and looked indifferently at Sissoko Hook, who looked like a bad guy in front of her:
"Classmate Sissoko, this is the exhibition hall of the Industrial Expo. As a visitor to the exhibition, you don't seem to have the right to stop us here."
The clinker Sissoko Hook shrugged indifferently and replied:
"Classmate Aveline, who stopped you?"
"I just want you to take a closer look first. This is the exhibition stand of Oxford University, okay?"
"As the President of the Student Union of Oxford University, do I have any problem with receiving tourists here? - If I remember correctly, you should have bumped into me first."
Aveline was stunned for a moment.
After regaining consciousness, she immediately raised her head and looked upward.
as expected.
In the sky above where they were, a badge suddenly floated:
The appearance of the badge is a dark blue circle surrounded by a belt, with an open book engraved in the center surrounded by three crowns.
Two of them are at the top and one is at the bottom.
As a mortal enemy in a certain sense, Aveline naturally recognized the origin of the badge at a glance:
The coat of arms of the University of Oxford.
The belt represents faith and prayer.
Books represent knowledge.
The three crowns represent the separation of powers.
There is a crown below, which also indicates the famous Queen's College in Oxford, and also points to the Queen.
Speaking of the Queen, I don’t know what happened to Elizabeth II when Xu Yun traveled through time. It is said that she has entered the rescue room...
Then Aveline glanced behind Sissoko Hook a few more times.
I saw that there was indeed a very large exhibition hall seven or eight meters away from the descendant of Hook.
There was a surging flow of people inside, it was very lively, and there were exclamations from time to time.
It is clear.
In a hurry to get away from the water heater booth, the group inadvertently came to the base camp of Oxford University at the World Exposition.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing Aveline silent, a trace of pride flashed in Sissoko Hook's eyes, and he continued:
"Classmate Aveline, Mr. Fat Fish once said a word called 'Everyone is here anyway'."
"Now that you have arrived at the Oxford Exhibition Corner, you might as well come with me and take a walk. If you don't welcome guests when they come, it would also be disrespectful to the guests."
"To tell you the truth, our booth is quite big. You are welcome to visit our booth. If you are tired from visiting, you can go to bed. No problem."
When Aveline heard this, her beautiful brows furrowed slightly.
She and Sissoko have a feud both in their families and in their schools. Unless Mavericks and Hooker come back from the coffin and shake hands to make peace, no one can eliminate the hatred.
Although this kind of hatred does not affect personal safety, within the framework of certain conditions, there is no so-called bottom line.
For example, attacking the other party academically, or embarrassing the other party on important occasions.
None of these things require any hesitation.
There is obviously no academic discussion session in today's expo, so Sissoko's purpose is naturally the latter.
Think of this.
Aveline couldn't help turning her head and looked at Lao Tang.
Their eyes touched lightly in the air, and they immediately understood each other's thoughts:
Go check it out!
After all, the other party has already prepared to welcome guests. Among his group is the president of the Cambridge Student Union and a descendant of Newton. Refusing to go to the booth will inevitably cause ridicule.
This kind of public opinion is different from the criticism faced by Aveline. The latter is directed at Aveline personally, while the former is directed at Cambridge University.
Besides...
Although there is a high probability that Sissoko Hook will make a fool of himself next.
But since you want to show off your achievements, you will inevitably reveal a lot of key information.
If we can get useful information, it wouldn't be a problem to let him show off his power for the time being.
Anyway, my family knows their own affairs.
Once the Analytical Engine comes out, Sissoko Hook will have to return all the dignity he wielded today.
There is a saying that goes well.
Running fast doesn't necessarily mean you win, but not falling down means success.
So Aveline raised her eyelids and glanced at Sissoko, nodded and said:
"good."
Sissoko was immediately overjoyed.
Then he took Aveline, Xu Yun and others a short step back to the exhibition site of Oxford University.
Founded in 1249 AD, Oxford University is the oldest top university in the UK and ranks fourth in the world.
Therefore, the expo arranged a huge booth to save face, with an area about three to four times that of the Qing Dynasty.
This kind of specification can be ranked among the top in all areas of today's exhibition.
When Xu Yun and others came to the edge of the Oxford exhibition area, they saw at first sight a...or rather a very strange set of equipment:
I saw more than a dozen transparent glass bottles placed in a circle on a table, each bottle filled with half a bottle of water.
There is a small bell hanging on the top of the bottle.
At this moment.
Most of the dozen or so bells were ringing, and a large group of spectators were surrounding them, chattering non-stop.
Seeing this, Xiaomai couldn't help but step forward and observe for a few seconds, then returned to everyone and said:
"Mr. Luo Feng, the bottles are full of leeches."
Riemann on the side was slightly stunned and said in surprise:
"leech?"
Seeing the surprised expression on Riemann's face, Sissoko's lips curved slightly.
Although Riemann's identity is not known, it is very pleasant to be able to make Aveline's friends lose their temper.
So Sissoko coughed lightly and prepared to explain the principle of this device that Oxford University had been studying for four years:
"without......."
Before he could say the word "results correct", Riemann clapped his hands and said suddenly:
"Oh, I see, this should be a leech barometer, right?"
Sissoko:
"?"
Riemann didn't pay attention to his abnormality, but made several gestures with his hands in the air and spoke eloquently:
"The bottle is half filled with water, with a string hanging in the middle and a bell attached to the outside of the string. The bottle body that is not covered by water is coated with talcum powder."
"If the external conditions are normal, the leech will stay at the bottom of the bottle."
"But when the atmospheric pressure decreases before rain, the humidity on the ground increases, and the oxygen dissolved in the air into the water decreases, it will climb up the rope to absorb oxygen."
"Then the bell will start ringing as a reminder."
Xu Yun's eyes flashed with approval.
As Riemann said.
This is a very early but very useful biological warning principle, which uses leeches' sensitivity to air pressure.
This device quickly spread all over the world after its appearance. Until the 1980s, some areas in my country were still using leech barometers to warn of weather conditions.
Riemann's teacher Gauss was an expert in geography, and he and Weber invented the geomagnetic instrument together.
Therefore, it is normal for Riemann to be able to see the principle at a glance.
Then Riemann suddenly thought of something, shook his head, and glanced at the equipment not far away with some regret:
"It's a pity that the design of this equipment is not perfect - more than ten bottles are placed to ensure accuracy. Only when more than half of the bells ring together can an alarm be considered."
“But if a few leeches ring the bell, it’s impossible to predict the situation, and it’s easy to make useless noise to annoy others.”
"So...why doesn't the designer design a circuit?"
"For example, every time a leech moves, it will increase a certain amount of current
There are two more question marks on Sissoko's face:
"???"
Ancestor Hu Ke is here, who is this guy??
This leech barometer was the result of four years of observation and experimentation at the University of Oxford. As a result, this greasy guy who didn’t even speak English very well not only understood it at a glance, but even made optimizations?
In surprise.
Sissoko's originally prepared momentum to attack Aveline and Cambridge University dissipated in an instant.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The whole person's expression became a little stiff.
After regaining consciousness.
Sissoko gritted his teeth, put on a cowardly look, and said stiffly:
"Well, what this classmate said does make some sense, but you only know one, not the other."
"This leech barometer is just a small thing that took us half a day to build in Oxford. Naturally, there is no need to worry about designing circuits and other aspects."
As a result, Sissoko just finished speaking.
Not far away from the booth, the proud voice of an Oxford University lecturer came:
"If you are passing by, don't miss it. The leech barometer designed by seven colleges of the University of Oxford after four years of hard work is now officially on display. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity..."
Sissoko:
"..."
Then he took a deep breath and laughed a few times.
He forcibly ignored the commentator and led Xu Yun and his party to a booth farther away.
I only see this moment.
There is a cylindrical device that is all black and about 1.5 meters long. There are several turntables placed on the left side of the device.
At first glance it looks a bit like...
A common popcorn machine in the 1990s?
Looking at this strange thing, Xu Yun couldn't help but touch his chin.
He vaguely guessed the name of this thing...
After arriving at the device.
Sissoko turned his head, stared at Riemann, pointed at the equipment, and said:
"Let me introduce to you, compared to the leech barometer, this device is the key display item of our Oxford University this time, ranking second in sequence."
"As for its purpose..."
Maybe he thought of the value of this equipment.
Sissoko felt a little more confident, and even straightened his back a little:
"It's useless to say more, I'll demonstrate it to you."
After saying that, he quickly walked to the table next to the equipment, took out a piece of paper, and returned to the equipment to tinker with it.
I saw Sissoko opening the popcorn machine-like device from the middle, connecting it to the power supply, and then placing the paper in a place similar to the feed inlet and aligning it.
Siluke.
at last......
His hands left the console.
About ten seconds passed.
Sizzling——
The equipment made some noise, and the feed port slowly swallowed the paper.
at the same time.
There is another booth about ten meters away from here.
Another red machine with the same appearance, connected to this place through a line, also started to sizzle.
And slowly spit out another piece of paper.
five minutes later.
Both devices are stationary at the same time.
Sissoko trotted to the red machine to retrieve the newly appeared paper. After rushing back to the scene, he pulled out the 'swallowed' paper from the middle of the original black device.
Then he flattened the two pieces of paper, handed them to Aveline, and said proudly:
"Let's see."
Aveline took the two pieces of paper and compared them with everyone.
There is no inscription on these two pieces of paper, but two identical crosses are drawn on them.
The graphics are simple, but the information contained in them is extraordinary.
Seeing the expressions of Aveline and others gradually becoming serious, Sissoko suddenly felt relieved in his heart.
I saw his chest puff up and he introduced:
"This is a device developed by our Oxford University in cooperation with Mr. Alexander Bain. It is called a fax machine."
"It can transmit images and text to another terminal over a long distance through a preset line.
"It is of great help to the transmission of messages and business offices, and will definitely change the pattern of future communications!"
Sissoko's tone was decisive, clearly convinced of the future of the fax machine.
In a sense, he did not lie.
As we all know.
Speaking of modern communication methods, they can be roughly divided into the following stages:
Telegraph, telephone, fax, and the Internet.
Although the essence of the telegraph is that electromagnetic waves transmit information, it does not mean that it appeared after the discovery of electromagnetic waves:
As early as 1837.
Samuel Morse built the world's first telegraph.
1844.
He even personally sent the first 50-kilometer telegram.
That's right.
This person is the Morse of Morse code, but when translated, he is often translated as Morse - but when talking about the code, it is Morse, which makes many people unable to connect the two.
Follow normal development history.
After the telegraph came the telephone, invented by Bell.
Next is the fax.
However, the order here refers to the order in which the technology is used, not the time when the prototype appears.
Just like Babbage and others developed the prototype of the computer, the prototype of the fax machine also appeared in the 1850s.
And what a coincidence.
The prototype of the first fax machine also appeared at the World Exposition in 1851.
But in terms of functionality, it is far inferior to the one in Oxford.
That prototype could only transmit 104 Morse codes within fifteen meters, so Morse eventually sued the court for infringement, and the plan was aborted.
So in terms of time.
Nowadays, it is not unusual for Xu Yun and others to see such a slightly enhanced fax machine at the World Expo - after all, in this timeline, Alexander Bain received investment from the University of Cambridge.
But on the other hand.
Since this is a 'prototype', it is naturally far from mature in terms of functionality.
Think of this.
Xu Yun was about to say something, but Kirchhoff on the side spoke before him:
"This is Sissoko, right... According to what you said, your device can transmit images and text, so why is there only such a simple cross in the demonstration?"
"Could it be that... it's just a very crude prototype, far from ideal?"
"...."
Looking at the bearded man with a curious face, Sissoko was stunned again.
No, why don't these people follow the routine?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Follow his original thoughts.
At this time, after Aveline and others came to their senses, they should have suspected that he was committing fraud - for example, he had prepared two identical pieces of paper in advance.
After all, for people of this era, faxing involves electrical signals, which is a bit advanced.
Then he could ask Aveline to draw a simple mark on the paper, fax it again on the spot, and slap him in the face with the facts.
And he, Sissoko Hook, will be recorded in history as a winner.
result.......
These people went straight past basic suspicion and asked about the content of the transmission?
Think of this.
Sissoko suddenly frowned, shook his head and said:
"This classmate, do you know circuits?"
"Do you know that this kind of principle problem is very complicated and requires a professional to understand it. For a nerd like you who can't understand the circuit at a glance, it's useless to talk to you."
"complex?"
Hearing Sissoko's words, Kirchhoff was not unhappy at all, but looked at this descendant of Hook like a fool:
"What's so complicated about this?"
"Isn't it just a matter of building a number of interconnected and synchronized alphabet clocks, and adding a scanning needle to the pendulum to act as a brush?"
"In addition, put the electrical contact points on a holding plate. If there is a current pulse, a black spot will appear on the paper."
"Driven by the clock, the holding board slowly moves upward, causing the pointer to scan the information board line by line, turning the graphics on the holding board into electrical pulses and transmitting them to the receiving end."
"The receiving plate also moves slowly driven by the clock, leaving a pattern on the electrosensitive paper, forming the same pattern as the sending end."
"With all due respect, wouldn't it be enough if you have hands?"
Sissoko: "??????????"
Seeing Sissoko's glare, Xu Yun couldn't help but feel a flash of sympathy in his heart.
It's not your fault to offend anyone, but you offended Kirchhoff.
This man was awarded the only "Kirchhoff Award" by the Future Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. He proposed Kirchhoff's current law and Kirchhoff's voltage law at the age of 21...
.
Don’t you see how many unlucky people will be on his hands in future generations?
True.
Without any ideas, Kirchhoff may not have been able to invent the fax machine - for example, he did not achieve this achievement in the original history.
But inventing is one thing, analyzing the finished product is another.
Since there is already a finished model, it is very, very simple for Kirchhoff to reversely deduce the principle.
There was Riemann before him, and Kirchhoff after him.
What do the descendants of Hook say...
That's quite unlucky.
And just when Sissoko was autistic.
In the ears of Xu Yun and others, another angry but somewhat familiar voice suddenly came:
"I'm a fool! You traitor! Do you still have the nerve to show up here?!"
............
