Chapter 658: Ugly in the Open Class? (Ask for Subscription)
For an afternoon, Sergei was in the office telling Chen Xu about the biology of Indonesian Borneo.
The coffee on the table had been changed twice in a row, and then it was simply replaced with water.
While listening to Chen Xu, he encountered some key knowledge from time to time, and specially made a recording.
Sergei is a professor at one of the world's top universities, and his deep understanding of biology, especially the paleontological research he specializes in, is truly admirable.
Originally, Chen Xu's extreme wilderness skills contained wild creature materials, but after listening to his explanation, many knowledge points have been updated.
In this way, unconsciously, Michelle came over again to remind: "Professor, Mr. Chen, it's already past six o'clock, and there is less than half an hour left, which is Mr. Chen's open class, you can see ......"
"It's been so long!"
Sergei looked at his watch and laughed in surprise, "Okay, let's go here today, and we'll talk again after you finish the open class!"
"Good!"
Chen Xu picked up the recorder and followed him and Michelle to the teaching building of the School of Biotechnology.
On the way, Vess and Kekili followed.
In the past, they have participated in many public lectures at universities, but none of them have been able to reach the Stanford level.
You know, the people who can give public lectures at the world's top academic universities are all the presidents of the United States, the CEO of Apple, the chief operating officer of Facebook, and the founder of PayPal.
Therefore, Chen Xu is actually not up to the level of a Stanford speaker.
This is not to look down on his fame or ability, but his academic achievements in the professional field, and there is no clear "achievement" at present, such as publishing academic papers, such as professional titles, etc.
After all, academics are serious.
But Sergei firmly believed in his ability, so he forced the president of the Institute of Biotechnology to apply for an open class at the college, and as an old senior among professors, he still had this little power.
Therefore, this time, Chen Xu also came to the lecture hall of Stanford University for the first time as a media person.
In the dressing room, Chen Xu changed into a new outfit, a blue casual shirt, the cuffs were pulled up to the top of his forearms, beige outdoor trousers, and a pair of brown leather casual shoes.
A moment later, Michelle led him, Vess, and the others to the door of the auditorium.
A few people peeked through the crack in the door and couldn't help but be startled.
The auditorium at the Stanford School of Biotechnology is the kind of stepped partition auditorium of an old-fashioned university, with white wall paint, windows blocked by purple curtains, yellow tables and chairs, a stage wrapped in red blankets, a lecture table made of mahogany, and, of course, a huge projection screen lit up.
And to their surprise, they didn't expect that there would be so many students present tonight, looking at it, all of them were heads, almost full.
"Chen Xu, are you nervous?"
Kakyri glanced at it, then asked with a smile.
"It's alright!"
There is no pressure on Chen Xu's face, after all, the live broadcast has been broadcast for so long, and he still has this bit of mental quality.
At this time, a beautiful host suddenly came up on the stage: "Hello everyone, I am the host of this public lecture at the School of Biotechnology of Stanford University, Merris." ”
"Tonight, we are honored to have the world's top outdoor wilderness expert: Mr. Chen Xu to tell me about one of the human instincts: survival!"
There are no fancy videos, and there are no awesome opening remarks, Chen Xu was introduced like this.
The next moment, the door opened, and the staff reminded him that he was now ready to enter.
So, Chen Xu exhaled and quickly ran into the venue.
As he walked into the auditorium, the audience immediately became agitated, and many people began to applaud and welcome.
Walking to the microphone of the lecture table in the center of the stage, Chen Xu curled the corners of his mouth and smiled at everyone in the audience: "Thank you to Stanford University, the dean of the School of Biotechnology, Professor Sergei, and the students who can come to listen to my speech today, hello everyone, I am Chen Xu!"
"Oh——!"
The iconic opening sentence at the end of Xu Ye instantly ignited the atmosphere of the audience, and many fanatical fans who like him took the lead in screaming.
"To be honest, I'm thrilled right now, not only because I'm standing on the podium at Stanford, but also because I'm finally able to have the opportunity to talk to you about a skill that we must master from birth: survival!"
"In the natural world, no matter what living beings, from the moment they get life, they are faced with the most basic goal: survival, and we humans are the same, from birth to death, we have been living and surviving. ”
"Whether it's from the sake period, when apes make weapons for hunting, or in modern society, where people run around for money, the fundamental explanation is that these are survival, survival is everywhere, as long as we are alive, because survival is the most primitive instinct, like breathing. ”
"Even now, in the face of strangers around you, you will subconsciously stay away and get close to your friends, which is the most basic point of self-protection and staying away from danger!"
After a simple routine opening remarks, Chen Xu quickly entered the state.
Although the students at Stanford University are excellent, this parallel world does not pay attention to the outdoors, survival, and survival after all, plus he has epic extreme wilderness skills, from a professional point of view, there is no doubt about it.
However, some students were still suspicious of him, and one of the black men sitting in the front row even raised his hand on the spot.
Seeing this, Chen Xu smiled and said, "This classmate, may I ask you what is your problem?"
This black man is actually a sociology student at the College of Arts next door, he didn't know Chen Xu originally, and he was also pulled over by his girlfriend from the School of Biology tonight, "Sir, I just heard what you said about the ubiquity of survival, and the examples cited, and I don't understand it." ”
In fact, since human beings have entered modern civilization, there is no threat to life from Huang Jing, science and technology are advancing, the economy is developing, the social security system is improving, and people can still receive a subsistence allowance even if they do not work. ”
"And the reason why they are desperately looking for a job is just due to social pressure, because they want to live a better life, including staying away from strangers and close to friends, these are just the unspoken rules of social distancing, and no one will think that these strange classmates will threaten your life!"
"Therefore, I think that in modern society, human beings no longer need to survive, the problem of survival has been solved, and the survival instinct of human beings is slowly disappearing.
As soon as the black man said this, some people thought about it and felt that it made sense.
Suddenly, everyone whispered below.
In the front row of the auditorium, Weiss, Special Push, and Kaikili glanced at each other, and couldn't help but be a little worried that Chen Xu would be asked by the black student, if this is the case, it would be a shame to make a fool of himself in the open class.
But Professor Sergei next to him didn't show any worried looks, and seemed to be very confident in Chen Xu's talent.
On the podium, Chen Xu listened to the black student's explanation, but did not answer.
The next moment, without saying a word, he grabbed the base of the microphone and slammed it towards the table in the front row!
Bang——!
