Chapter 8: Betting

Just when I was about to answer, Gao Xiaomi's voice sounded behind me, and she replied directly: "Boiled frogs in warm water originated from a boiled frog experiment done by scientists at Cornell University in the United States at the end of the 19th century. ”

Everyone looked up and saw her back to the table with the dog in her arms.

After putting the dog down, Gao Xiaofan continued: "However, when the researchers put the frog in a container with cold water first, and then heated it, the result was different. ”

After speaking, she clapped her hands, raised her eyebrows and said, "This is the famous boiled frog experiment, everyone, doesn't it sound exciting...... Cruel?"

Gao Liang gave a thumbs up like her daughter: "Oh, my daughter is really knowledgeable, have you learned anything from this experiment?"

Gao Xiaomi bent her eyebrows and smiled, and said to her father: "There is a truth, that is, the change of the general environment can determine your success or failure, because the change of the general environment is sometimes invisible, so we must always pay attention to learning more and be more vigilant, and welcome change." ”

Gao Liang took a sip of wine and smiled, "What else?"

"There is also the danger of being too comfortable, and the habitual way of life may be the most threatening to you, and the only way to change all this is to keep innovating and breaking the old model. ”

Gao Xiaofan blinked, thought about it, and nodded: "It's hard for my daughter, Baidu Encyclopedia has not read less, right?"

"Dad, you just like to talk about bad scenery. ”

Gao Xiaofan was unhappy, pouted and stomped his feet, and turned his face to me: "Brother Xiaoluo, you call me to walk the dog, but you are here to discuss boiling frogs, I think your adult world is really boring!"

"The world of adults is inherently boring, how can there be so many thrills?"

I poured myself a glass of wine and smiled wryly.

At this time, Acacia said to himself: "When you are aware of a small change in the trend, you must stop and think from different angles, and learning is the best way to find a change." ”

Gao Xiaomi squatted down, hooked Jin Hehuan's hand, and said to her with a smile: "Sister Huanhuan, you can't also realize the truth from boiled frogs, right?"

Jin Hehuan smiled and raised his hand to rub Gao Xiaomi's head: "This seems to be an experiment, but it hides many philosophies, everyone has their own opinions, this is just my personal perception, and I can't say what the truth is." ”

"But you have a deeper understanding than I do. ”

Gao Xiao Fan looked at the acacia with adoring eyes, as if he was looking at an idol.

Faced with a series of big truths realized by the two girls, I dare not agree: "This story seems reasonable and impeccable on the surface, and no one will doubt its authenticity, and so is it myself, but in the nineties of the last century, a female biology teacher in Beijing organized the whole class to do such an experiment: the students were divided into two or three groups, allocated a container and a frog, and heated it over a warm fire to make the water temperature rise slowly, so as to meet the basic conditions for boiling frogs in warm water." ”

The two girls looked back at me at the same time, and Gao Xiaofan asked, "What are the results of the experiment?"

When the temperature slowly rose to 60 degrees, frogs began to jump out, and when the water temperature reached 65 degrees, all the frogs in the container jumped out. ”

I replied, the two of them exchanged glances, did not speak, and I continued: "The female biology teacher concluded that the frog jumped away automatically after the water temperature rose to more than 60 degrees, which shows that its instinctive response to the water temperature does not vary greatly because of the speed of the temperature change, and they are not stupid enough to be boiled to death and not run away, you must remember that even if everyone agrees and often says the truth, it may be wrong. Those truths that are generally recognized by society may also be lies, and everything must be personally experimented, investigated, and considered, and not followed by others. ”

"Mr. Luoan, you always like to target and refute me!"

After listening to me, Jin Hehuan seemed to be a little unable to sit still, and I said, "I'm not targeting you, I'm just speaking with facts." ”

"The frog will definitely be scalded to death when it is put in boiling water, the water boils almost 100 degrees, plus water vapor, the scald caused by the frog is very serious, the scald caused by the frog in the process of entering the boiling water should be enough to make the frog lose the ability to move, and naturally it will not be able to jump out, I estimate that no one will doubt this. ”

Acacia looked like she was about to argue to the end, and she continued: "But if you say that the frog may jump out of the hot water, it should also be credible, there should always be a temperature of the water, which will not cause serious burns to the frog and affect its athletic ability, but also make the frog feel uncomfortable, so she decided to leave, that is, jumped out, of course, it is not very interesting to speculate here, it is better to see the results of the experiment." ”

I asked, "What is the best water temperature?"

"In 1872, a man called Hendzman announced, if you heat up at a low enough rate," replied, "that the frog has no intention of jumping out. ”

"But in 1875 this experiment was confirmed by another person, and the two experiments contradicted each other?"

I continued to ask rhetorically, and Jin Hehuan sneered and said indifferently: "The difference between Gortz's experiment and Huntsman's experiment is that the speed of heating is different. ”

I frowned and continued to ask, "What's the difference?"

In Gortz's experiment, it took 10 minutes to heat from 17.5 degrees Celsius to 56 degrees Celsius, so that the average rate of warming per minute reached 3.8 degrees Celsius, which was faster than the heating rate used by Hodgson later. So, Gortz observed that the frog didn't like the temperature and tried to jump out, while Huntsmann's experiment had a much lower heating rate. ”

Acacia replied very calmly, and the tall fan next to her also helped her answer the following words: "But Henzman used 90 minutes to heat the water from 21 degrees Celsius to 37.5 degrees Celsius, with an average rate of less than 0.2 degrees Celsius per minute, and no abnormal behavior of the frog was observed, the critical high temperature that the frog can tolerate is about 36-37 degrees Celsius, and if it is heated to 37.5 degrees Celsius, even if the frog does not die immediately, it has lost the ability to jump up, and death is not far from it." ”

These two girls sang and harmonized, and forced me into a corner with their powerful professional knowledge, watching them talk eloquently, not giving me a chance to parry at all, and even the spitting stars were going to drown me.

In the end, I seized an opportunity and quickly fought back: "You have said so much, but you have ignored a key issue!"

"What's the problem?"

They asked in unison, and I said, "Tian Fangfang is a living person, is her IQ not as good as a frog, so she is willing to be slowly boiled to death?"

When I said this, I really stopped the two of them, but I saw the two of them open their mouths, you look at me, I look at you, and I can't answer.

After more than ten seconds, Jin Hehuan asked me angrily: "Luoan, you still don't believe that the female corpse was boiled to death?"

"Because you can't come up with concrete evidence that it was boiled to death, I reserve my opinion. ”

I replied, and Acacia slapped the table and stood up: "If I prove that it was boiled to death, what will you give me?"

I sneered and asked, "What if you can't prove it?"

"If I can't prove that it was boiled to death, I will worship you as a teacher, if it is proved, you have to have my surname, dare to bet?"

Acacia said categorically, I can only bite the bullet when I am forced to do this.

Suddenly picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all: "Bet on betting, my surname Luo has never lost a bet with someone." ”

"Then this time, I'll let you fail completely!"

Jin Hehuan gritted his teeth and said, look at this girl, it's real, the other three people are so frightened that they don't dare to breathe, they are stunned at the table, their eyes are looking directly at our pair of enemies, and the expression on their faces can be described as mixed......

In the early hours of the morning, I was woken up, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that I was a fan of Gao Xiaoxiao.

Gao Xiaofan whispered to me: "Brother Xiaoluo, where is your toilet, I want to solve it?"

"Outside, I'll take you there. ”

I rubbed my sore head vigorously, turned over and looked for a flashlight, everyone drank broken pieces last night, Gao Liang's father and daughter even lost the key, helpless, I had to take them back to my house.

At this time, Gao Liang slept like a dead pig, the snoring was loud, and poor Gao Xiaofan couldn't wake up her father, so she could only come to the sofa in the living room to wake me up.

I led Gao Xiaomi to the toilet and turned around to go back to the house, Gao Xiaomi said inside: "Brother Xiaoluo, you can't go back, I'm afraid of being alone inside." ”

I smiled bitterly in my heart.

This girl is too timid, right, she has to bring a bodyguard to the toilet, is she so delicate now?

I pulled out a cigarette and stood outside the toilet about to light it, when a fierce dog barked in the distance, and the neighbor's stereo began to play cacophony, and a hard wee morning began.

Before I lit my cigarette, Gao Xiaomi angrily rushed out of the toilet with his pants and grabbed my hand: "Go, I'll take you to him." ”

"Looking for whom?"

I asked in a panic, and Gao Xiaomi said, "Your neighbor, you deceive people too much, and you play the stereo in the middle of the night, does this still make people sleep?"

She dragged me to the neighbor's house, I couldn't pull it, and twenty or thirty meters away from the neighbor's house, the neighbor's lights suddenly went out, and even the stereo was turned off.

But the door suddenly opened, and three vicious dogs roared out, and the first one threw me to the ground, and bit my neck with a bloody basin, and the pungent smell of blood instantly rushed into my nostrils.
