Just when Ji Ran was holding his cousin's glass beads and could see his gods, Ji's father found out and screamed at Ji Ran, Ji Ran was startled, so he quickly put the glass beads back.

I don't know why that day, maybe the uncle was in a good mood and thought it was nothing for a child to look at a glass ball, maybe she liked it?

What's more, there are so many glass balls in my cousin's house that there is nowhere to put them, so the uncle got up, took a plastic bag, filled some glass balls and gave them to Ji Ran.

At that time, Ji Ran was so happy, it was Ji Ran's happiest day in his hometown.

After Ji Ran took the glass beads home, she would take them out every day to see, whether it was early morning, noon, afternoon, or evening, or even rainy midnight, she would take out the glass beads to see, and the glass beads were very magical, they would change with the change of the surrounding environment, and change different brilliance, which fascinated Ji Ran.

Later, Ji Ran knew that it was because of the refraction and scattering of light that led to the appearance of those strange brilliance.

Ji Ran hadn't had this kind of dream for a long time, and today he suddenly had this strange dream, which surprised Ji Ran.

Is this dream trying to tell you something?

Ji Ran thought about it, and always felt as if he was inspiring himself.

Just like the German scientist Kekule who discovered the benzene ring, at that time, many chemists could not imagine the molecular structure of benzene, and no matter how they thought about it, they could not imagine what the molecular structure of the benzene ring was.

At that time, the German chemist Kekule was also worried about this problem, and one day, when he was dreaming, he suddenly dreamed of six cute little monkeys.

The six little monkeys grabbed the tail of the other, and from head to tail, they joined together to form a closed ring.

When Kekule woke up the next day, he thought the dream was interesting, but instead of treating it as a dream, he continued to think about it.

He thought about it, and he thought of the molecular structure of benzene that he wanted to solve the most recently, and he thought that six little monkeys were connected end to end to form a ring, so would the molecular structure of benzene also be ring-shaped?

Under this bold idea, he tried to fit six carbon atoms into a ring structure, and it really succeeded.

It turned out that if the six carbon atoms were combined according to the ring formed by the little monkey in the dream world, it was exactly the structure of the benzene ring, which solved the super problem in the chemical world at that time.

In addition, there was the great scientist Mendeleev, at that time, people had discovered many elements, adding up to about 60 kinds, and Mendeleev, who was more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old, happened to be a professor of chemistry at a university, and he was wondering, how many elements are there in this world?

Will they have a regular existence?

This question was only an assumption of Mendeleev, but he did not know whether his conjecture was correct.

However, one day, he suddenly had a strange dream, he dreamed of a table, and then all kinds of elements fell into the table.

After waking up from the dream, Mendeleev felt that the dream was very strange, so he was curious, so he really drew a table, and then arranged the elements according to the increasing number of atomic numbers in a table, after several modifications, he was surprised to find that these elements arranged together were really regular.

For example, in a week, except for noble gases, the atomic number of other elements, from left to right, increases sequentially, while the radius of the element's atom decreases.

In the same family, from top to bottom, the atomic number increases sequentially, while the radius of the elemental atom also increases.

In addition, Mendeleev discovered many other laws, and as he studied further, he felt more and more that the periodic table was magical, and its laws were almost perfect and impeccable.

So, after his careful dialectic, he finally announced the discovery of the periodic table, and as expected, the elements predicted by the periodic table were discovered one after another, and to this day, more than 100 elements have been discovered, and they all conform to the laws of the periodic table.

It can be seen that a dream is no less important to a scientist than hundreds or even thousands of scientific experiments.

As Albert Einstein said, genius is one percent talent plus ninety-nine percent effort, and ninety-nine percent effort is always there, while one percent with inspiration is hard to find.

This one percent of the inspirational talent may not be in the minds of the top scientists, and it may be hidden among ordinary mortals.

Like the German scientist Kekule, who discovered the benzene ring, he may not have been the most famous chemist of his time, but he still had the inspiration to the world's attention.

This is like a female author who writes about the Internet, maybe she is a poor unlucky person in the eyes of many people, she has written so many books and is not popular, she lives a precarious life every day, in order to save next month's rent, she has to often save money, and sometimes she is reluctant to buy new clothes to wear during the New Year.

However, even so, it cannot be completely denied that she will not burst out with a trace of wisdom at a certain right point in time, so as to realize something that has not been realized before, or that has been realized by predecessors but has not been known by the world?

In other words, an apple hit Newton's head, which led Newton to discover gravitation, and then created the three laws of mechanics, laying a solid theoretical foundation for the later aerospace industry.

In the process of boiling water, Watt was inspired, so he invented the steam engine, which directly led to the first industrial revolution of mankind, the historical creation of the bourgeoisie, and continued to grow and develop, and finally led to the emperors of the world were successively pushed to the guillotine, ending thousands of years of imperial system, ushering in modern civilization.

And although Ji Ran is not as great as these celebrities in history, she can confidently say that she is no different from these celebrities before she became famous.

That is to say, before Newton discovered gravity, and before Watt invented the steam engine, the sense of existence was similar to that of Ji Ran, and there would not be a big difference in IQ, in fact, it was just a lack of just the right inspiration and opportunity.

If Watt were twenty years old, he would have told others that he could invent a machine, that he could guillotine all the emperors of the world, that he could completely change the lives of mankind, that human civilization would have entered a greater and more advanced industrial civilization, that countless rich capitalists would have been born in the world, that peasants would have gone from their own land to factories, that mankind would have entered a new civilized world, and that I would be the leader of this new world.

If anyone had heard him say this, they would have thought that he was a big fool, and they would have thought that something was wrong with his spirit.

However, what about from a hindsight?

Watt's historical merits are actually true, but his position and role in history need time to be verified, and in the eyes of his contemporaries, he is actually not so great.
