Chapter 30 Objectives
"Sir, do you need a carriage for you later?"
Early in the morning of the weekend, Mr. Butler began to prepare for John's plans for the day at the dinner table. For the last two weeks John has been running out on weekends, riding his bike when he's near, hailing a horse-drawn carriage when he's far away, and Hans has to prepare for the latter.
While chewing wax and eating Hans's breakfast, John shook his head nonchalantly and said, "No, in the morning, but I need a carriage at half past two in the afternoon...... Well, I'll eat out in the evening, so you won't have to wait for me. ā
Today he was going to visit the Brister house, and he was already looking forward to seeing Anna again.
āā¦ā¦ Yes, sir. ā
After a slight hesitation, Mr. Butler nodded and stopped talking.
Unknowingly, it has been nearly a year and a half since the two left New York, and after such a long time of being alone, Hans has long figured out the character and temperament of this little master. In general, John is very easy to get along with, except for ensuring daily needs, he is not very demanding in life, and he treats Hans very kindly, and can even be said to be quite casual, which makes him feel different from being around old Huntelaar.
But there is one thing that Hans is really helpless.
Although John was not very old, he was very assertive, and as long as a decision was made, Hans could not oppose it, and it must be carried out according to his wishes. And it seemed to Hans that John didn't spend much on his studies, rarely reading books in the evenings and weekends, especially in the last two months, and even spent more time in that real room than in the study......
If that room can also be called a real yĆ n room!
Lately, therefore, the faithful Hans had begun to worry about the elder Huntelaar's decision to allow Johann to come to Europe.
After breakfast, John wiped his mouth and stood up. However, he did not immediately go upstairs as usual, but turned around and took out a rather beautifully packaged box from the cabinet next to him, looked at Hans and smiled, and suddenly handed the box over: "Happy birthday, Mr. Elber!" ā
"Happy Birthday?!"
The moment he heard this, Hans was stunned.
Today is September 19th......
Isn't that your birthday?!
Before Hans came to his senses, John slipped the gift into his hand and said with a smile: "I won't sing the birthday song, two big men always feel a little wrong singing this...... Mr. Elber, I'm sorry I couldn't remember last year, but there are double gifts in the box, so I'll make up for them this year. ā
"Thank you, sir!"
Taking a deep breath, Hans suppressed the tumbling of his heart and said in a trembling voice.
After working in the Huntelaar family for so many years, this was the first time that someone had wished him a happy birthday, and Hans only felt a hot current in his heart, and wanted to say more, but now he couldn't find any suitable words in his poor vocabulary.
It's a pity that John can't see others like this, especially a big man, so he quickly laughed twice and said, "Mr. Elber, today is your birthday, and lunch can be prepared more sumptuously...... That's it, I'll go up first. ā
Without waiting for Hans to say anything more, John immediately turned around and went upstairs.
Behind him, Hans didn't say anything more, didn't immediately open the heavy gift, just stood in the dining room for a long time, and then suddenly smiled stupidly......
ā¦ā¦
"Click!"
After closing the door and scratching his head, John smirked. He still has a lot of things going on this year, and it was difficult to remember the housekeeper's birthday, but fortunately, after learning the lesson of last year, he went to order a gift when he remembered it once, and let the family send it yesterday, so he will definitely not forget it.
"Looks like Mr. Elber must have been a little moved, right?"
While guessing Hans's reaction, Johann sat down at his desk and began to ponder in front of the microscope: "What should I do this morning for half a day?" ā
It's been a few days since the microscope arrived, and John has quickly lost the freshness he had at the beginning, except for the first two days of fiddling with great interest. The performance of this kind of microscope in ancient times is really speechless, not to mention the complexity of use, both the clarity and color reproduction are extremely poor, so John can't help but admire the scientists more than 100 years ago: it is really not easy to use such equipment to study so many results, it can only be said that these people are really amazing!
"I don't know if there is a centrifuge now and there is ......"
After scratching his head and sitting in front of the microscope for a while, John habitually wandered again.
Since the day he decided to buy this microscope, John has been thinking about a question: the microscope has been bought, and the direction of research has been decided, but what should he do? What kind of theories are being exhibited? Where do you go in the field of blood physiology?
This is no small problem!
In the physiology textbooks of later generations, the blood chapter is only thirty or forty pages long, and the blood circulation part is only about a hundred pages, but since Harvey's blood circulation in the 17th century, this short 100-page textbook has gathered the efforts of countless physiologists for nearly 400 years! And John is sure that the present of the 2o century occupies a large part of it, and if he really moved the physiology textbook in his head, it would completely update the current understanding of blood among physiologists, and push him directly to the position of physiology master......
Uh, or simply be burned as a youkai!
So when John San's thinking finally returned to the topic, he could only open a few physiology textbooks of this era on the table with a bitter face and read them patiently.
Every master who has left his name in the history of medicine has been able to come up with a result that is enough for them to live for centuries after decades of research and hard work, so although the knowledge in John's mind has long been figured out, the words that must be taken out in this era must be carefully considered: it must be well-founded, can be proved and explained with the reality that can be done now, and must conform to the basis of the current scientists' understanding of blood, at least not too far ahead of the times......
It's not an easy job.
And once John accidentally took out something he shouldn't have taken, it was a trivial matter to be ridiculed behind the watch, and he was afraid that he would be attacked by many physiologists at that time. The scientists of this era are not as polite as later generations, when there is a violent conflict of views between the two sides, it is light for the bigwigs of all parties to attack each other with their own theories, and some people have to roll up their sleeves directly!
John is naturally not afraid of things, but he also hopes to have less trouble, so even if the collation and research of theories can be saved, and even the actual yĆ n can be saved, careful comparison, consideration and screening are still necessary.
Again, there are too many good things and troubles......
The human feeling is a very strange kind of existence, just like the concept of time, when you are bored, you will feel that time is passing by second by second, but when there is something to concentrate on, time flies! By the time Hans had prepared a luncheon, which was slightly more sumptuous than usual, and had come up to invite John down to dinner, it was nearly twelve o'clock in the afternoon.
And just this morning, for three or four hours, John looked through several ancient books on physiology, and finally put together a "list of theories" to choose from, and found a major goal for the last three months of 1884......
ā¦ā¦
I almost forgot about this week's push.
Since it's a big recommendation, I'll try to update as much as possible this week, and strive for three updates a day on the premise of ensuring normal updates.
