Paris, the capital of the French Third Republic.

More than 100 years later, this fashionable and romantic city is an urban model for future business and hype. Because after coming to the 19th century, John discovered that France has never been a romantic country, on the contrary, the impression of old-fashioned and rigorous Germans is the most prominent in this regard, and even romantic literature is dominated by Germans.

However, in terms of international influence, France is not comparable to Germany.

An old empire has an incomparable advantage of the new strength, especially after the Franco-Prussian War, the French learned from the pain, the economic development is quite rapid, especially the scale of capital export is second only to the empire on which the sun never sets, and the status of Paris is self-evident.

This time, it's John? Huntelaar came to Paris for the fourth time.

After a night's stay at the hotel, early the next morning, as he had done on previous occasions, John went to visit Monsieur Pasteur again. Although the first two times were unsuccessful, and he was not sure whether he would be able to do so this time, it was always John's longing to see the great scientist who had a great impact on 19th-century science - he was not very interested in physicists such as Helmholtz, but he always looked forward to medical figures......

……

“…… Is this Mr. Pasteur really as great as you say? ”

When she got out of the carriage at the entrance of the Institut Pasteur, Anna was still a little unconvinced.

"Hehe, of course."

Smiling slightly, John nodded affirmatively.

He knew that as a German through and through, Anna would definitely not be convinced that he admired a Frenchman so much, and John also knew that his evaluation of Pasteur in the past two days was too high, even surpassing Koch, the benchmark of German medicine. This, of course, would be unacceptable to Anna, who has a strong national pride.

But......

Gently touching Anna's shoulder, John didn't explain much.

Louis? Pasteur and Robert? Koch is indeed a symbol of the medical circles of the two countries in this era, but relatively speaking, John still feels that Pasteur's contribution is greater. In fact, if the peculiarities of this era are excluded, John does not think that Koch has the qualifications to be compared to Pasteur - at least in terms of historical status.

Koch's important contributions. The main focus is on tuberculosis and the Koch principle.

The study of tuberculosis that brought great glory to Koch was because in this era, whether in the East or in the West, tuberculosis (tuberculosis) was the first death to cause the most deaths. If we exclude the enormous influence of the times, Koch's contribution to medicine was actually the study of an infectious disease and the formulation of Koch's principle. Of course, Koch's principles are one of Koch's important contributions to the study of infectious diseases, and some of the ideas have been used for more than a hundred years, and John cannot deny this.

But what about compared to Pasteur?

Let's single out some of Pasteur's most important achievements: he was the first in the history of medicine to propose the theory of bacterial disease, and pioneered the pasteurization method that is still in use a hundred years later. The world's first rabies vaccine was also made......

When it comes to his influence on the history of world medicine, Pasteur is far from being comparable to Koch.

It's just that John can't say these things too clearly to his fiancée, on the one hand, naturally because of the constraints of the times, I'm afraid many people can't see this, and on the other hand, as a German descendant and German son-in-law, it's better for him not to stand so clearly in some positions......

……

“…… Good morning sir, may I ask how I can help you? ”

In the hall on the first floor of the Institut Pasteur, a young French lady greeted her warmly.

"Good morning. Miss. ”

John gently lifted his hat and asked with a smile, "Is Mr. Pasteur here today?" I want to visit him. ”

Perhaps he was accustomed to having people visit Mr. Pasteur. Without any hesitation, the young lady asked, "Sorry sir, do you have an appointment?" ”

"Huh? There is a door! ”

After listening to the other party's answer, John's heart suddenly rejoiced!

The reception staff of the Institut Pasteur did not refuse outright, but asked themselves if they had made an appointment, and this answer could not help but make people feel excited!

After blinking his eyes a few times, John hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm sorry." I didn't have an appointment...... If Mr. Pasteur is at the institute now, could you please help me inform him now, John from New York, USA? Huntelaar wants to see him! ”

"This ...... I'm sorry, sir. ”

The young lady rightly expressed her embarrassment before shaking her head: "Monsieur Pasteur is very busy with his work. And...... If you do not have an appointment, I will not be able to inform Mr. Pasteur directly. However, you can leave your name and contact address, and I will forward them to Mr. Pasteur. ”

At this time, Anna, who had been standing quietly next to her, finally couldn't help it, she frowned and whispered, "Miss, it's John standing in front of you?" Mr. Huntelaar, shouldn't we have informed me now? “

In the girl's heart, her fiancé's reputation is no less than that of Pasteur, so why should she make an appointment to visit? She was already unhappy in her heart, and she was suddenly a little angry, if she hadn't received a good education since she was a child, she would have reprimanded the other party loudly.

"I'm sorry, Miss......"

The young French lady apparently didn't know John? The name Huntelaar was a little confused, and quickly shook his head and said. Not everyone pays attention to the news in the newspapers right now, and even fewer pay attention to the names, most people just look at them as interesting facts. "Anna."

Immediately stopped his fiancée who wanted to continue talking, John also frowned slightly, and then sighed and said, "Can you give a pen and a piece of paper?" I'll leave a short letter to Monsieur Pasteur asking you to help him, okay? "That's fine!"

The young lady readily agreed to this request, and immediately brought John pen and paper.

It wasn't until John left a text message and walked out of the Institut Pasteur with his fiancée that Anna still muttered indignantly, "This lady is too unfriendly." We just wanted her to help inform the other party, and it turned out to be ...... Hum! ”

"Alright, Anna."

Patting Anna's little hand gently, John whispered with some tears and laughter: "Monsieur Pasteur is now a famous figure in France, how can anyone who wants to see him?" It is also very reasonable for people to arrange it this way. And I'm sure Pasteur if he had seen that text message. I think someone will be sent to me soon...... The weather is nice today, are you interested in visiting the Champs by the Lansers with me? ”

"Okay!"

Anna, who was still a little indignant, immediately lit up when she heard this invitation, and the dissatisfaction just now was quickly put to the back of her mind......

……

"Mr. Parker, here's the list of visits from yesterday, and a couple of text messages they left behind."

It was not until the next morning that the young French lady put together the list of visits she had recorded the previous day and handed it to Mr. Parker, Mr. Pasteur's personal secretary.

"Okay, let's put it here first."

Don't lift your head. Mr. Parker was still hunched on his desk, writing hard.

Because of his health and age, it was not possible for Pasteur to come to work at the institute every day, and certainly not to receive every visitor in person as before, so it was only natural that a commissioner should assist in these matters.

This commissioner is Mr. Parker.

Mr. Parker had been with Pasteur for a few years, and he was put in charge of sifting through the list of visits because Parker was the best of Pasteur's men compared to other researchers. At the same time, it is also a person who understands the world better. In general, Parker is good at screening out visitors who are worthy of Pasteur's visit. Which visitors were just wasting their time - with Pasteur's current status and position, of course, it was impossible for anyone to come and see him, as before, and he was not physically allowed to work too hard.

More than an hour later......

"Ha ......"

Putting down the pen in his hand, Parker stretched hard, and his face couldn't help but feel a little tired. I haven't been at work for a long time today, but I didn't have a good rest yesterday. And just after two hours of concentrating on work, Parker was already feeling a little tired.

After a few twists of his neck and getting up to go to the bathroom, Parker's eyes fell on the records.

To be honest, Parker is also quite impatient to sift through the list of visitors every day. Every day many people want to visit Monsieur Pasteur, but often these people are either admirers or a peer without any name, and there is no need for Monsieur Pasteur to meet them. If it weren't for the occasional visit from a stranger with a heavy weight, and it would be a bit impersonal to refuse them all, this procedure would be completely unnecessary.

Wiping his face, Mr. Parker picked up the notebook on the table.

“…… Monsieur François, a winemaker? Missing! ”

"Mr. Hans, a British counterpart? Not...... It seems that there is no impression, not seen! ”

"John? Mr. Huntelaar, American Surgeon? What did the surgeon do when he came to see Mr. Pasteur? Also left a text message? What a waste of time, not ......"

"Huh?"

Just put that John? Huntelaar's name flashed, and a thought flashed through Mr. Parker's mind, and the whole person was suddenly stunned!

"John? Huntelaar? ”

Returning his gaze to the name, Mr. Parker's brow furrowed slightly, and he flipped to the sheets of paper beneath the notebook. In addition to their names, many people would leave a text message in an attempt to convince Monsieur Pasteur to meet them, but they did not expect that most of the messages would not reach the gentleman at all.

Soon, Mr. Parker saw the text message.

Then, in a matter of seconds, Parker jumped up like a spring as if he had suddenly seen a letter from the President of France...... (To be continued......)
