Everyone present was not stupid, their eyes swirled between Qin Xirou and Zhou Huaiyu, and occasionally glanced at Zhao Jing secretly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

But since Xie Huirou started answering questions, Zhao Jing sat on the side and drank tea quietly, without saying a word, and everyone could only peek at him a few times occasionally, who dared to see what he was doing openly?

"Miss Qin, don't worry, the 'change' I am talking about is not the change in Zhiwei's novels, but the 'evolution', the evolution of reproduction. ”

The question of chicken or egg is not a new question for a long time, and even this question has asked all kinds of novel questions and all kinds of answers that make people laugh and cry.

Zhou Huaiyu, who was once bored, also deliberately thought about this problem, and even checked a lot of information on the Internet, although in the field of science, everyone also has different opinions and no conclusion, but she is still most inclined to the conclusion that there is a chicken first.

But how to explain the theory of evolution to everyone, Zhou Huaiyu made a mistake for a while.

"Evolution, that is, in order to adapt to the environment, the animal changes for thousands of years, ten thousand years, and then becomes another animal, and the reason why I say that there is a chicken first, is because the chicken has wings, so it may have been a bird before, but this bird in order to adapt to the environment, gradually live on the ground, and will not fly for a long time, so I guess that the chicken is changed from a bird. ”

These words are purely nonsense by Zhou Huaiyu, in order to fulfill what she just said, otherwise, she would never be able to talk about Darwin's theory of evolution.

"Hehe, I think Miss Zhou must have heard too much of the phrase 'a phoenix with falling feathers is not as good as a chicken', so she thinks that chickens change from birds. Qin Xirou's words fell, and light laughter sounded around her.

Of course, Zhou Huaiyu heard what Qin Xirou meant. She is the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an, but because she is fat, she must have been ridiculed a lot. "Even if a phoenix loses its hair, it is still a phoenix, and a chicken is a chicken even if it wears a colorful feather coat, so what it should be is what it is. And one day, after the phoenix is reborn from the fire, it will be worshiped by a hundred birds, but the chicken can only be a dish on the table forever!"

"You!" Qin Xirou couldn't think of any more words to refute, and gritted her teeth and glared at Zhou Huaiyu.

The courtyard was filled with the smell of gunpowder for a while, and suddenly, there was crisp applause in the crowd, but it was Su Rongyi who looked at Zhou Huaiyu with soft eyes and said loudly: "What my cousin said is good, I agree with what my cousin said." ”

Qin Xirou set his eyes on Su Rongyi, and then fiercely threw at Su Keke beside him, but saw Su Keke frowning deeply and looking at Su Rongyi, obviously not understanding why he would stand up and embarrass Qin Xirou at this time.

Xie Huirou saw that the atmosphere of the scene was about to erupt, and she didn't ask anyone else anymore, and immediately took over: "This time, I have a different opinion from Miss Zhou, I think that there are eggs first, and then there are chickens." Speaking of this, Xie Huirou paused, and then spoke a little apologetically: "There is no distinction between high and low knowledge, and if Huirou is rude in her words, I hope that all the sons and ladies present will not be blamed." ”

"Miss Xie has traveled for many years, and her knowledge is naturally not comparable to ours, although Miss Xie speaks, listening to your doubts is a blessing for all of us. ”

Xie Huirou bowed slightly, "Then Huirou is presumptuous." Some families in the folk villages could not afford to buy horses and cows, so they could only buy donkeys, but there were still some poor families who could not even afford donkeys, so they could only buy a kind of livestock called 'mules', which were born by the mating of horses and donkeys. ”

Suddenly there was a commotion in the crowd, especially those noble girls, all of whom had strange expressions on their faces, many of them blushed and bowed their heads, while those sons of the family, many of them showed meaningful smiles.

Zhou Huaiyu, as the object of attention of everyone present, was naturally expressionless.

"It doesn't matter who the mother of the mule is, the mule is a mule, and it is neither a horse nor a donkey, but a mule, and if the first mule is named something else when it is born, it is not called a mule now, but something else. So to put it another way, when the first chicken is born, it is actually just a new animal, just because when it is in the egg, it has changed, and after it is born, it is called a chicken, so there is a chicken, then there is a chicken, then the root is that there is the first egg that becomes a chicken, and then there is the next chicken. ”

After Xie Huirou finished speaking, she was applauded by everyone again, because compared to Zhou Huaiyu's speculation, chickens were "transformed", and the example given by Xie Huirou was more convincing.

After Xie Huirou finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Huaiyu, and everyone present also looked at Zhou Huaiyu, as if waiting for her rebuttal, but Zhou Huaiyu suddenly realized: "Miss Xie is reasonable, listening to you say this, I also changed my mind." ”

The people around were slightly disappointed because they didn't succeed in seeing the "argument" of this pair of "sisters", Xie Huirou smiled back, and then raised her voice: "Although my answer today has been supported by everyone, but this is just my own speculation, if anyone finds a more suitable answer in the future, I am always welcome." The next question ,......"

Zhou Huaiyu looked at the radiant Xie Huirou on the stage lightly, and lowered the slight mockery in his eyes.

Doesn't this Miss Xie know that a mule can't give birth to a mule when mated? According to her, why do chickens give birth to eggs? Besides, one is a viviparous animal and the other is an egg-born animal, can they be compared together?

But what if she just refuted her?

There are not many "miscellaneous" questions, and most of them can be classified as the same kind, and Zhou Huaiyu has been silently silent since "the chicken or the egg first", Xie Huirou no longer asked her, Qin Xirou suffered two losses and no longer provoked, and secretly vowed to wait until there was no one to find a chance to rectify Zhou Huaiyu.

The "miscellaneous" class of problems passed quickly, and the last thing that remained was the "number" class. "Numbering" is considered by almost everyone to be the most difficult of all problems.

Zhou Huaiyu, who was full of expectations, was no longer interested when he heard that the questions were all "a few monks and a few steamed buns" and "how many dogs and chickens are in the cage".

These questions, which could be easily answered by elementary school students in her former world, have become big problems that make everyone scratch their ears and cheeks.

In fact, Zhou Huaiyu has seen some books about the introduction of "numbers", and found that there are already some quite advanced algorithms in the books, such as the Pythagorean theorem of "Hook three strands, four Xuan Wu", etc., but the knowledge of numbers, because of the restrictions of the scientific research system of the current dynasty, the scope of dissemination is far less extensive than those four books and five classics.
