After a night of tossing and turning, John was able to get rid of that depression. ※％，

In fact, the last time he saw Miss Philip was several years ago, and John basically didn't think of each other again in the past few years, but the letter he received this time reminded him of the woman who made him choose the profession of physician again.

Serena died, and Miss Philip became a nightingale in the streets.

Maybe it's because of the nostalgia, even after many years, it still makes John a little uncomfortable to hear the news. It's just that he himself understands that he doesn't have any way to deal with this kind of thing, maybe if Miss Philip was willing to ask for help earlier, John could spare no effort to help her, at least with the help of money to get the other party out of this life, but Miss Philip was unwilling, not even willing to appear in front of John......

"Let her go!"

After washing up in the morning, John let out a deep sigh.

If Miss Philip didn't want to see her, it would not be easy to find the other party in this era, so John did not force the butler to continue the search, but only explained that if there was any news in the future, he must inform himself......

……

At the end of April 1888, the night sky of New York seemed to be lit up.

Three small alternating current power plants, built at Morgan's behest and at John's jaw-dropping speed, began to supply electricity on a small scale - currently mainly for lighting. With the success stories of Heinz General Hospital and the complete set of equipment available, Tesla's men successfully completed the task that John thought was impossible.

Thousands of tungsten light bulbs have brought unprecedented light to New York City!

Even if the cost has been reduced by the addition of Morgan, electricity is not affordable for ordinary people, and for the time being, only the rich and high-end hotels can use it. But even so. A large area that brightens up at night still makes a splash in New York City again, but it's not so exaggerated because Edison had built a power plant and Heinz General Hospital was unusually high-profile.

But......

John knew that electricity bills would be drastically reduced in a few years. Not to mention the electricity used for lighting, industrial electricity will also be slowly popularized. At that time, the New York Electric Power Company will become a star enterprise in the United States, just like the current Bell Telephone Company, and whether it is to receive dividends or sell shares in the New York Electric Company, it will be a good choice for the Huntelaar family.

Of course, this has nothing to do with John for the time being......

……

The time that passed by second by second slowly came to May 1888.

"Gotcha! Get! ”

"Please come in!"

In the office of a professor of surgery at Charlotte Hospital, Burgman casually responded. Then I turned my attention to the magazine in front of me.

"Good morning, Professor Bergman!"

Soon, a familiar voice pulled Bergman's gaze away from the magazine, and he looked up to look at it, and immediately greeted with a somewhat surprised expression: "Good morning, Professor Wolfgang." ”

The person who came was none other than Professor Wolfgang, a professor of internal medicine at the University of Berlin and an old friend of Bergmann.

Bergman, who was originally a little strange, suddenly saw a magazine in Professor Wolfgang's hand and immediately understood. Smiled and nodded, "What?" Did you get the latest issue of The Lancet? ”

"Well, so I wanted to talk to you."

Professor Wolfgang did not deny it. He nodded simply.

In May 1888, a new issue of The Lancet was published in London, and it was gradually reaching many subscribers. Despite its growing influence, the delivery time of the same issue of The Lancet to subscribers can vary by a month, or even two or three months, due to transportation constraints. But a client like a professor of internal medicine and surgery at the University of Berlin is undoubtedly quite weighty, so the Lancet will give special treatment and deliver it as quickly as possible.

So on the same day, Bergman and Wolfgang received the magazine.

No need to say hello to Bergman. Wolfgang himself sat down in the chair next to him and asked in a deep voice, "What are the two ......papers?" Have you finished reading it? ”

"Just watched it a second time."

After taking a deep breath, Burgman nodded slightly.

Of course, he understood Professor Wolfgang's intentions, and although there were a few good papers in this issue of The Lancet, the only ones that could make the professor of internal medicine come to talk to him were John? Huntelaar is from a paper from Heinz General Hospital in New York, USA!

Two papers, two directions!

This amount in itself did not surprise Bergman, because he had seen John's "feat" of publishing four papers in two journals in one go, but after reading the contents of the two papers, his mind could not be calmed down......

“…… I'm afraid it's a bit unwise to publish that paper now! ”

Frowning, Professor Wolfgang whispered.

Instead of naming the specific title of the paper, Bergman knew what the other party was talking about, because one of the essays was about a hot topic some time ago - blood type to determine paternity, and Bergman could almost have foreseen how much attention this paper would draw. And he can be sure that the people who will pay attention to this paper will definitely not be limited to physicians and physiologists, I am afraid that many sociologists and even ordinary people will be very concerned. You know, not long after those two sensational tragedies, the debate about blood group theory has not subsided......

Everyone knows that the theory that blood type can determine parent-child relationship comes from a detective novel.

Sherlock Holmes and Watson are fictional characters, and naturally people don't really attribute the theory to them, so when a paper appeared in The Lancet about ABO blood group theory, signed by John? When Huntelaar arrived, I am afraid that all those who paid attention would immediately understand: the creator of the theory had finally appeared.

Such a paper will inevitably attract the attack of all opponents!

"But ......"

After a slight hesitation, Bergman smiled slightly: "I think this is not necessarily a bad thing, after all, once this paper is published, although it will cause a lot of criticism, but I am afraid that there will be a lot of attention, right?" ”

"Hmm...... Quite right. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Professor Wolfgang nodded in agreement.

Most of the time, attention determines the speed at which a theory or technology develops. The more people pay attention, the more human and financial resources will naturally be invested in it. By the same token, some physiologists and physicians will lash out at this, while others will probably be drawn to the theory of blood grouping. After all, from the current technology, the technology required for blood group research is not particularly complex, and many university laboratories can do it. And when more and more people join it and more papers are published, the biggest beneficiary will undoubtedly be John Brown, the proposer of the theory. Huntelaar!

Moreover, Professor Wolfgang also understands that John's argument in this paper is very clever.

In this paper, one does not see more evidence to prove the theory that has previously caused controversy, or even the authors to continue to support their own previous theories. On the contrary, John? Mr. Huntelaar merely mentioned it, and from the idea that blood type can be passed from one generation to the next, he systematically expounded a theory that is completely alien to most physicians - the theory of heredity!

Why are white people and white children also white?

Why is it that if both parents are tall, the children are more likely to be tall?

What is the relationship between the color of a child's eye and the color of a parent's eyeball?

Starting from a phenomenon that people are accustomed to but have never been explained by theory, John? Mr. Huntelaar recounted the "discoveries" of his research and the "inferences" that resulted from them. In this process, of course, Mr. Huntelaar will not be all inferences, but combine the results of Mendel's pea hybridization experiments, cite the discoveries of the Germans Fleming and Strasberg on cell division a few years ago, and quote the famous "germplasm theory" of the German physician and zoologist Weissmann, and agree with his belief that chromatin contains factors that can be passed on to future generations.

The concept of genes was formally proposed in the paper.

It was almost twenty years earlier than the real history, and because of the full set of theories for the future, John expounded more systematically and more methodically, not only proposing heredity and genes, but even perfecting the concept of dominant inheritance and recessive inheritance, of course, before these theories were proposed, Mr. Huntelaar had already made it clear in his paper that, except for a few things that were supported by ready-made theories, most of them were just his "inferences"!

But in Professor Wolfgang's view, the "inferences" that abound in this paper are worth a thousand dollars!

If it is more than a hundred years later, this knowledge can only be regarded as the content of popular science articles at best, and it is even a little shallow. After all, most people in that era knew what genetics was all about, and concepts such as DNA had long been deeply rooted in people's minds. But in this day and age, John's paper is like a beacon for scientists to guide in a direction: following the field of the paper may greatly reduce the time they waste.

But in doing so, the paper may attract more opponents.

If it were limited to the blood group theory, the opponents might be limited to the medical community, but if the scope was expanded to the field of genetics, then zoologists and botanists, both supporters and opponents of evolution, would probably soon join in. You know, this is an area of endless debate, and many times it is even necessary to continue the content of the debate from the realm of science to the realm of philosophy......
