Chapter XVI Invitations

Winter is going to spring, and it's another year...... 23

On April 17, 1884, Johann celebrated his fifteenth birthday in a rented house in Berlin, in the presence of many German and American students. Of course, he announced that he was nineteen years old, and no one except Hans the butler knew that this figure was a full four years older than his actual age, and he had reached a height of 1.85 meters and a mature temperament to prove it. What's more, anyone who has been in a relationship with this gentle, calm and mature young man will probably not doubt this.

15 July 1884, University Library of Berlin.

Gently putting the book back on the shelf, John glanced around the empty reading room, smiled, and turned to walk in the direction of the library door.

This may be the last time he will come to this library.

For a year, with the exception of certain required courses, John spent almost all of his time in the small but already best library of the time at the University of Berlin. In a year's time, John devoured nearly 200 books, including physics, chemistry and medicine, mainly focusing on the two fields of physics and chemistry, and then today he can finally be sure that he has basically synchronized with this era!

There is no need to doubt this.

In medicine, John didn't spend much effort, except for the normal classes on weekdays, he simply looked at the relevant textbooks and journals, and the knowledge stored in his mind was enough to deal with the future, all he needed to know was what the current medical scientists mastered. As for physics and chemistry, it is much more troublesome, after all, in addition to knowing what stage of research scientists are now, he must also try to distinguish what is right and what is wrong!

At the end of the 19th century, there were various currents of thought in the European scientific community, and the information stored in John's mind was relatively limited, so it was not easy to figure them all out.

"But it's finally done!"

After walking out of the library door, John looked up at the sunset, and the joy in his heart was undisguised.

Today was the first anniversary of his arrival in Berlin, and on this special day he had completed the preparation period he had planned, and John was quite satisfied, for he had come to feel that his life was now a little boring - every day he went to these ancient lectures or lectures, to read simple and error-ridden textbooks and periodicals, to do the ancient anatomy and physiology......

John genuinely felt bored.

"Hi John!"

Just as he sighed secretly and was about to go back, a call came from behind him. Turning his head, he saw two bicycles speeding towards him.

Although the German bicycle factory Johan did not have a clue at the moment, when the London factory was put into production, this new type of bicycle inevitably became popular in Berlin, especially at several prestigious universities, and there were more than a dozen of them at the University of Berlin, and John himself bought one for transportation.

"Squeak!"

Moments later, the two cars stopped in front of John.

"Hi, good afternoon."

After seeing the visitor, John greeted happily. The two new friends he had met since his arrival in Berlin were Picker Schwartz and Luther Bambel, both Germans who were in the same class of medical school as John. Although the two are not aristocratic entrepreneurs, their families own a small local factory in Berlin, and the family is quite wealthy, otherwise it would not be possible to afford a bicycle.

"I knew you were in the library as soon as I guessed"

The tall Luther said with his feet on the ground and laughing. John was known among his friends for his love of reading, so even if he didn't have a very prominent academic appearance, many people had a good opinion of him. After all, this is a special era, and it is natural for people to have a good opinion of the hard-working.

"Hehe, there's nothing to do at home anyway."

John was a little puzzled in his heart, raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "It's you two, why do you still come to school during the holidays?" Could it be that he came to me all the way? ”

The University of Berlin had gone on a long vacation for almost two months a week ago, and most of the country's students had already left the university, with only international students like Johann mostly staying in Berlin. Germany is now the center of international higher education, and the University of Berlin is one of the leading universities in Germany.

"Of course, we're here for you!"

Luther immediately nodded and smiled, "I went to your house first, but Mr. Elber said that you might be in the library, so we came here again." ”

Blinking, John said, "Actually, you can call and try it first......

In this world, the telephone may be one of the fastest popularized things, and in just a few years, it has also become overwhelmingly popular in Europe's big 6. As the capital of Germany, there were more and more telephone lines in the sky of Berlin, and Johann asked Hans to install one at home, but few people usually called, and more people were still used to writing letters to send them.

"Forget it, that thing is too inconvenient to use."

Luther waved his hand and smiled.

John was a little speechless for a moment, and only after a moment did he smile bitterly and said, "Okay two, may I ask what is the matter with you coming so far to find me?" Don't tell me that I'm trying to pull me fishing, I really don't have much interest. ”

Pique and Luther were the most devastating of sport fishers, and almost every month they went to the water together for two days, and John once went with curiosity to go with him, and then he hated the sport. The long wait to catch a foul-smelling freshwater fish was a life-draining activity in John's opinion......

"Of course not!"

Just when John was already thinking about how to refuse them, Peake, who had not spoken, finally spoke, and he smiled slightly: "We are here to invite you to a dance party the day after tomorrow...... Don't be too busy saying no, you can hear who will attend this dance before deciding! ””

"What prom? Who will attend? ”

John's heart moved, and he asked with his head tilted. In the past, he wanted to concentrate on gathering information, so he was naturally not interested in attending a dance party or anything, but now, ......

It doesn't hurt to go once or twice once in a while.

"I heard that Mr. Koch will go!"

At this time, Luther seemed to be a little impatient to say aloud.

"Mr. Koch? Which Mr. Koch? ”

John was startled when he heard this, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"That's Mr. Koch!"

Seeing the surprised expression of John, who had always been calm, Luther and Peak looked at each other and couldn't help laughing at the same time, Luther said very proudly: "Mr. Robert Koch, whom you always mention, but after we heard about it, we immediately came to inform you......"
