Roy had heard of the famous chemist Scrooge? Mr. MacDonald was in the boat, and he also learned from the newspaper that this great man who had made an epoch-making contribution was still underage, but now that he actually saw him, Roy was still excited by the chemistry lover.

For Scrooge, there was really nothing to do at least ten days at sea, except to study his various plans over and over again, to prepare for speeches at the Royal Academy of England and the Royal Academy of France, and to eat and sleep. At this time, there was no radio communication technology, so when a person was on a boat on the sea, he was suddenly cut off from the whole world. For the first time since the crossing, Scrooge was truly idle. At this time, there was a young man who loved to learn, with a beautiful little Lori, when he was bored sitting by the boat fishing, ran over to ask him about chemistry, which was actually a very interesting thing. The only trouble is that Scrooge's explanation will be out of this era if he is not careful, for example, on one occasion, Scrooge, who was focused on the fishing rod, accidentally said the word "electronic" that would never appear in this era. So much so that he had to explain that he was distracted by fishing, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

"Mr. MacDonald, you don't have to blame yourself, I'm sorry. I shouldn't bother you at this time. Roy said politely.

"Ah, I didn't do anything serious, and I couldn't actually do anything on this boat. I don't like to play cards or anything. Actually, I don't even like fishing very much, it's just a matter of time. I think it's nice to have someone to talk to me at this time. Scrooge replied.

"Brother Scrooge doesn't like fishing? Dorothea thought fishing was fun. Little Lori moved a small chair and sat on the side to watch the fishing, because last time Scrooge mentioned that the sun on the sea is strong, it is easy to tan a white man like a black man. So now Dorothea not only holds an umbrella beside her when she watches the fishing, but also wraps herself like an Arab, with only her two beautiful blue eyes exposed.

These days, little Lori's father has also met with Scrooge a few times, and he also admires Scrooge's achievements, so he agrees with his son and often goes to Scrooge. And little Lori, who was bored on the boat, would often follow her brother to play with Scrooge.

What Scrooge and Roy talked about, Dorothea didn't understand at all, but Brother Scrooge was so powerful that he could make Brother Roy admire him so much. Brother Roy is actually quite remarkable, which of those boys in the neighborhood can compare to him? Can you get a Cambridge entrance qualification like he did? Although little Lori doesn't know exactly what Cambridge is and why she is so good when she can enter Cambridge, this does not prevent her from seeing her brother's excellence from the eyes of others, especially those older sisters who are a little older than her, nor does it prevent her from being proud of her brother. "My brother is the best." This phrase became Dorothea's mantra for a while.

Now, however, the belief that "my brother is the best" has been shaken. Because, right on this boat, a monster appeared. Well, yes, it's monsters, that's what Dad said. My brother also sighs from time to time, how can a person be so smart.

"Could it be that Brother Scrooge is better than his brother?" Little Lori also asked her father and brother like this. As a result, my father and brother laughed bitterly, and finally, my brother said, "Why do you go and compare yourself with that Scrooge brother of yours?" That would make everyone fools. In this way, Brother Scrooge is indeed better than his brother. Little Lori didn't feel a little depressed, but the "your Scrooge brother" that my brother said inexplicably made Little Lori a little happy.

"Mr. MacDonald, can you tell me about that?" Roy pulled out a small notebook, and on it was a math problem that he had struggled to solve.

"Ah, Roy, don't be so polite, you can just call me Scrooge, do you want me to call you Mr. Odeh? Oh, show me that question. Scrooge stretched out his hand and took a closer look at the question.

This is a Fourier transformation problem, and it is not an easy one, even for those with a university education. And for a person who has not received higher education, it is already very powerful to try to do such a topic, even if he can't pick it up.

Scrooge looked at the question carefully, although he hadn't touched these things too much since the crossing, but such a problem was not particularly difficult for him. So he straightened out his thoughts and began to talk to Roy about the question......

"Jingle bell, jingle bell." The bell hanging from the top of the rod suddenly rang. Little Lori immediately stood up: "Brother! Brother Scrooge! Fish on the hook! , a fish has been hooked! ”

It's just that the two brothers haven't reacted yet, and they are still talking about the topic with their heads down. "What topic could be more fun than fishing?" Little Lori simply stood up from her chair and reached for the fishing rod.

"Hey, kids can't play with this, it's dangerous." Just when little Lori was about to take the fishing rod in her hand, a hand reached over and took the fishing rod first.

Dorothea saw that it was Scrooge who had grabbed the rod before her, and said, "Quick, pull it up, don't let it run!" After saying this, he suddenly remembered something, so he pursed his lips and said very unhappily: "What danger children don't play, Dorothea is not a child!" If Dorothea is a child, then Brother Scrooge, you are also a child, and you can't play! ”

At this time, the fish pulled violently, and the rod suddenly completed a bow. After all, Scrooge is still young, and his strength is not enough, so he can't control the fishing rod a little.

"Roy, come and help!" Scrooge shouted.

"yes, okay." Roy had already left his notebook and pencil behind and ran over, and the two of them grabbed the fishing rod together.

"Don't let it straighten the rod, or it will break the line in the blink of an eye." Scrooge said to Roy, who was holding the fishing rod with him.

"I know that only by making the tension between the rod and the fish in the direction of 9o degrees can the elasticity of the rod be relied on to relieve the explosive force of the fish. I understand the physics. Roy shouted as he struggled to control the fishing rod.

"Fish have a lot of muscles, but they don't have stamina...... Hold on, we must win......" Before Scrooge could finish speaking, the fish pulled violently, and the rod shook violently, making Scrooge almost sit on the deck. Fortunately, Roy was older and stronger, and with his help, they managed to kiss the fishing rod.

"My naturalist said that fish have very poor stamina and that they don't last long." Roy gritted his teeth, and the bruises on his arms erupted.

"Sea fish are different! Maybe it's a fish with red muscles. They...... They will have better stamina than those with white muscles. Scrooge gritted his teeth and replied, "I wish I had caught such a fish this time!" ”

"Why?"

"Because it's more fun to fight a fish like that!"

Scrooge's wish was satisfied, and the fish patiently tossed with them for almost two hours before he gradually gave up the struggle exhausted. Little Lori kept cheering them on, and even old Mr. Odd was alarmed, and went to the deck with great interest to see his son and Scrooge fighting the fish together.

"Watching them fight that fish reminds me of my youth." Old Mr. Odd said to his wife.

"Honey, you're young now, too." The wife replied.

By this time, the fish had exhausted its strength and floated to the surface, and Scrooge and Roy pulled it to the side of the boat, and a sailor scooped it up with a large fishing net and threw it on the deck.

"A very nice salmon, at least 4o pounds!" The sailor said.

The salmon was left on the deck, writhing feebly - it was exhausted. Two people, as exhausted as it were, also slumped in their chairs panting. Only little Lori ran over curiously to observe the big fish.

"This fish is ugly! It's nowhere near as good as the snapper you caught yesterday, Brother Scrooge. After carefully studying the fish, Lori came to this conclusion.

"Hehe, Dorothea, this fish is much more beautiful than yesterday's snapper." Roy, who had already caught his breath, said to his sister, "Don't believe me, you ask your brother Scrooge?" ”

Hearing "your brother Scrooge", little Lori blushed a little, so she lowered her head and looked at the fish seriously, the fish was silver-gray, there were some brown spots on its body, small eyes, and its mouth was full of sharp teeth, and it looked fierce. So, she looked up and looked at Scrooge with two beautiful, blue eyes like a lake.

"Yes, it's beautiful, because, anything that's full of power is beautiful." Scrooge replied in the affirmative.

"Yes, that's what Byron sees too." Roy added.

Little Lori looked at the fierce and ugly fish on the deck again, and then at Roy and Scrooge, but she still couldn't see where the fish was beautiful. However, she did not intend to insist on her opinion, since her brother and Brother Scrooge thought it was beautiful, then it must be really beautiful. Little Lori thought so.
