Chapter 926: Scientific Investigation
Six years ago, when crossing the group to recruit members, it basically took personal expertise or mastery of knowledge as one of the reference conditions. Talents in professional fields such as engineering, agriculture, commerce and trade, and military are more likely to be favored by the preparatory committee, but not all of the members recruited are such practical talents, and a small number www.biquge.info of personnel engaged in scientific research have joined the team, and Zhang Yun is one of them.
Zhang Yun was a secondary school biology teacher before crossing over, but he was more willing to devote his energy to professional research than teaching, and was once obsessed with studying some extinct plants and animals. This "lack of work" also affected his job, and although he taught his students far beyond textbooks and exams, the university wanted him to devote more energy to improving students' test-taking skills than to develop students' interest in biology.
Zhang Yun didn't like this kind of scope of work, but with his academic qualifications, he was not enough to enter a professional research institute, after all, he still had to have a stable income to support his life, even if he had the dream of becoming a great biologist, but he had to bow to reality, until he learned of the existence of the crossing plan by chance.
When Zhang Yun confirmed from the preparatory committee that the target time and space would be in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, he immediately made up his mind to participate in this project, and the reason was closely related to his profession - he would have a great chance to publish the doctrine of biological species two centuries ahead of Charles Robert Darwin, and with these theories, he would become the founder of later generations of biologists.
Of course, what Zhang Yun wants to do is not to copy Darwin's "The Origin of Species", but to contribute all the knowledge in his head to improve the status of biology in the category of natural sciences. He has more than 100 years of professional education than Darwin, who lived in the 19th century and lacked a systematic theoretical knowledge base, and has mastered much more professional knowledge and skills than this great man. If nothing else, by the time Darwin was born in Shropshire in England in 1809, he had already become the world-recognized founder of the discipline of biology, and if Darwin would eventually enter this academic field, then Zhang Yun must have been one of the sages he regarded as a god.
But it was not so easy for Darwin to become a great man in this field in his original time and space, and in his early twenties he made a five-year circumnavigation with the British warship HMS Beagle, during which he studied the flora, fauna, and geology of the world. Officially, it was because of his extensive observation and collection, coupled with a long period of research, that he was able to publish the book "On the Origin of Species" at the age of fifty, which shook the academic world at that time. Compared with Zhang Yun, his theoretical knowledge is as good as that, but when it comes to practical experience, he is out of reach.
Darwin had the opportunity to sail around the world in his early twenties, but when Zhang Yun was in his twenties, he could only look at specimens to learn knowledge, and the little income after work could only support him to go around the country during the winter and summer vacations every year, and there were not enough conditions to fly around the world to engage in scientific research. So when he learned about the Crossing Project, he thought it was a great environment to realize his dreams - provided that his plan was supported by the organizers of the operation.
At that time, the preparatory committee decided to admit Zhang Yun after listening to his idea, and there was no shortage of professionals such as engineers, soldiers, and businessmen in the team, but scholars who studied natural sciences were really rare. Although Zhang Yun's field of expertise may not bring much economic or military benefit to the team, and even require the team to invest resources in it to provide him with research conditions, the preparatory committee believes that this is probably a major event that can affect the history of human science, and it is worth paying some price.
So biology teacher Zhang Yun said goodbye to his past life and joined the team to travel to this era. In the first two years of the crossing, Zhang Yun actually did not get the treatment he imagined, because the executive committee spent almost all of its human resources on infrastructure and expansion in the early stage, and really couldn't take care of Zhang Yun's "grand ambitions". And Zhang Yun himself knew that it was difficult to get any resources during this period, so he honestly followed the arrangement of the Executive Committee and joined an educational institution under the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and taught and eradicated illiteracy in Shengli Port with peace of mind.
After two years in his old job, Zhang Yun finally got the opportunity to change jobs. At the end of the civil war in Annam during this period, the Haihan side sent people to Annam to investigate the people's situation in order to determine which industries were more suitable to introduce to the local area. Zhang Yun also joined the delegation to Annan as a representative of the education system. His original mission was to inspect the local cultural and educational undertakings, but the opportunity was rare, so he did some collection of animal and plant specimens. After returning, Zhang Yun made a report asking the Executive Committee to allocate funds to set up a museum of flora and fauna in order to store the increasing number of biological specimens and various graphic materials in the future. At this time, the executive committee remembered that it was not really useful to have a biologist squatting in his house, so he immediately rearranged Zhang Yun's work and provided conditions for him to start academic research with peace of mind.
In the following years, Zhang Yun traveled on a warship to every new ruling area of Haihan, Ha Long Bay in Annam, Tamsui River in Taiwan Island, and even Anbuna Island in the South China Sea, which he had set foot on before. And this time, when the military arranged for the fleet to go south, they didn't forget to inform Zhang Yun, after all, the place they were going to this time was beyond the control of Haihan, and it was a field that they had never set foot in before. And Zhang Yun's decision was also very decisive, when he heard that he was going to Borneo, he began to calculate his work schedule, after all, he has "gone abroad" so many times, and has never crossed the equator to see the scene of the southern hemisphere, which is a new experience for him.
So Zhang Yun packed up early, took all his field equipment, and the only two disciples who had entered the house in the past six years, counted the days and went to the Shengli Harbor Naval Base to report for duty, and then went south with the fleet. However, Zhang Yun didn't gain much in the first few stops, after all, it was not the first time he had inspected the environment in the Indochina Peninsula, and his mind was all on the South China Sea. After tossing and turning along the way for more than half a month, I finally came to Borneo, where I had my heart and mind.
