I don't know how long it took, Xu Yun rubbed his forehead with one hand and supported his body with the other hand, and slowly woke up from the bed.
Wait, bed?
Xu Yun, who realized something, quickly looked under him - yes, he was lying on a bed.
This is an ordinary single bed with a wooden structure and a gray plush blanket on the surface.
Then he raised his head and looked around.
He was in a small but well-lit wooden building with a small area of about thirty square meters.
In addition to the wooden bed he was lying on, there was also a wooden wardrobe, a desk, two stools, a recliner and several lamps. There were some clothes piled messily on the recliner.
One of the most representative ones is a kind of trousers that resemble stockings or leggings. Xu Yun learned this when he was taking Western history as an elective. They are called Hussite trousers.
The inner material of the Hussi trousers draped upside down on the chair is exposed, and some fine cloth leather and blackened wool can be seen - this situation was normal in the seventeenth century, and the Hussi trousers were a typical outer material.
The luxurious inner head is in chaos, which is the legendary facade trousers.
Some families who are not financially strong but care about "respectability" will even stuff hay and grain into their homes.
Don't ask, you're a gentleman if you ask.
Other than that.
Some crops and fence posts outside the window indicate that this room is on the first floor. Combined with the eaves structure above the head, it is easy to determine that this is a single-story partitioned hut.
Xu Yun then touched the most painful part of his head and found that it had been simply surrounded by a bandage.
At this time, Xu Yun's memory was still stuck on the cover of the black book that came towards him, but based on the situation in front of him, he could guess who he should have been rescued by - 70% possible by Newton and 30% by passers-by.
After all, Mr. Newton's temper is well known to everyone. Even though he is just a youth now, he still does some extreme things.
Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that he is a scumbag and is not responsible for knocking himself out.
However, judging from Newton's age and clothes at this time, it was probably not after he was elected as a member of the Royal Society in 1672 - Xu Yun had seen the school badge on Newton's chest before.
In other words, there is a high probability that this big boss has not yet fought with Hook. In the local novels, the protagonist has not yet crossed the level to fight, and relatively speaking, he is not as arrogant as Long Aotian.
At the same time, Xu Yun couldn't help but have a lot of doubts in his heart:
Obviously, this should be between 1660-1670.
Things like rebirth have happened, so it is not unacceptable that that mysterious halo can send you to this era.
But the problem is...
What year exactly is it now?
What is the purpose of that door sending itself to this node?
I was obviously studying biology all my life, so why did I send myself to a big shot in physics?
Will what you do have an impact on the future? For example, give Newton a knife?
in addition......
How should I go back?
Just when Xu Yun was confused, a curtain of light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes:
[Novice mission: I heard that you have a lot of things that you can’t let go of? You should be more chic! 】
[Task Difficulty:★☆☆☆☆]
[Task requirements: Become friends in any sense with the young Isaac Newton, and do not involve any historical events that I have not participated in]
[Task time limit: two months]
[Task reward: Depends on score]
[Punishment for unfinished tasks: favorability of all women in reality -1]
[Additional explanation: This world is a parallel world and has no intersection with reality. But just like a spring dream may leave some marks on the quilt, what you do may leave some traces that span time and space.
....]
Xu Yun: "...?"
Parallel world, has nothing to do with reality?
In other words, the time and space gate that I walked into is considered a copy?
I understand the logic, but why do I feel like this prompt is confusing?
Could this thing come from the City of Heavenly Corruption?
Then looking at the details of the mission, Xu Yun suddenly had another thought in his mind:
Since there is no penalty for not completing the task, what will happen if you run to your home country at this point in time?
But within half a second of this idea popping up, Xu Yun himself denied it:
Firstly, the time given for the task is too short, and secondly, since I have no power in the country, it is still too difficult to make big news.
But then again.
The appearance of the mission provided Xu Yun with a little information, but obviously there were still many secrets that Xu Yun needed to explore on his own.
For example, what is the so-called scoring mechanism? Does it involve characters? Time? Or something else?
all in all.
The fact of being reborn gave Xu Yun a certain degree of innate acceptance of the surreal concept of time travel. At the same time, the surprise he should have gradually disappeared while waiting for Newton to wake up.
So soon, a strong interest gradually emerged in his heart.
After all, the other party is Mr. Newton...
Don’t you see how many people in the previous life longed to be able to lay down the coffin board for him?
To complete this task, a very important point is...
Determine the current specific time!
The current signs indicate that it must have been before 1672 - in 1672, Newton officially entered the Royal Society of England, and had a grudge against Hooke over the reflecting telescope. From then on, his character completely changed from aloof to unruly and even violent.
Therefore, Newton at this time was still an arrogant young man with a withdrawn personality, but at least academically he was far from being a scholar.
But just determining a rough time is not enough. After all, Newton's character and achievements almost changed every year when he was young.
Especially during those special 18 months...
As for the specific time...
Xu Yun suddenly thought of the apple tree from which he fell.
While waiting for Newton to wake up, Xu Yun briefly took stock of the surrounding situation.
He found that this place was obviously a small village, and the surrounding apple trees were basically already bearing ripe fruits.
As we all know.
The UK is a very special country in terms of apple cultivation. For thousands of years, it has grown only one type of cooking apple called Bramley.
The concentration of malic acid in this apple is much higher than that of sugar, so it retains its rich apple flavor even after cooking.
The ripening time of this kind of apple is around the end of October, which is far later than the common July-September ripening period of domestic apples.
At the same time, it happened that Xu Yun had gone to Cambridge to study for a year in his previous life and knew the holiday regulations of Trinity College:
Trinity College has its summer vacation from June to August every year, with a solid Christmas holiday from December 6th to January 15th, and then another three-week holiday in March.
Therefore, the time when the Bramley apples ripened was obviously during the period when he was studying at Trinity College.
In addition, Newton was a top academic, and he never missed even one day in college. In fact, the main reason for this situation was that Mr. Niu was always poor before entering the mint...
Even between late 1667 and 1669 when he was awarded the Lucasian Professorship of Mathematics, he continued to study theology at Trinity College, Cambridge.
Therefore, looking at Newton's resume after college and before 1672, there was only one thing that made him leave London in August:
The London Plague, also known as the Black Death!
During the eighteen months Newton left London, he spent the latter part of the time at Humphry Babington's home - a cotton estate where apples were not grown.
Therefore, there is only one qualifying time at the moment...
