Grey Sam College, a laboratory of the Royal Institute of the Royal Society.

Farah manipulated the experimental equipment with one hand, and occasionally recorded some data on paper with the other.

At this time, he completely lost the enthusiasm of the lecture that day, he frowned from time to time, and then suddenly stretched out, after pondering for a moment, he seemed to understand what was the key, and suddenly clapped his palms and walked out of the door with a smile on his face.

But before he could reach the door, he noticed a familiar face sitting on a chair in the laboratory behind him.

Faraday was slightly stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Mr. Hastings, when did you come?" ”

Arthur stood up, took off his hat and said, "I've just arrived, you can continue if you're busy." ”

When the experimental apprentice on the side heard this, he smiled and said, "Mr. Hastings has been here for a while, but he saw that you were doing an experiment, so he couldn't bear to disturb you. ”

Faraday smiled and waved his hand, "You don't have to, didn't I tell you before?" If you have any difficult scientific questions, you can always come to me in the laboratory.

By the way, I'm almost finished with that paper on electromagnetic induction, could you please take a look at it, help me check and fill in the gaps, and if you don't have any doubts, sign it at the back by the way. ”

"Signature?"

Hearing this, Arthur hurriedly refused: "I just provided some trivial things, at most some empirical methods, this is not a big deal. ”

"Hmmm......"

Faraday pinched his chin and pondered for a while: "If you don't want to sign it...... By the way, have you published a paper on electricity? If you haven't published it, you can write an article about your Lawrence force, oh no, it's Hastings force. In this case, when I post the paper, I can mark the citation. ”

Arthur couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Mr. Faraday, why do you have to take me?" I'm just an amateur science enthusiast, and I only know a little about electricity. ”

When Faraday heard this, his smile suddenly retracted, he took a deep breath, and the tone of his voice became serious.

"Mr. Hastings, science is a good thing. I think your conjecture has a certain theoretical basis, and it is not made up out of nothing.

And, most importantly, if that's what you've discovered, it should be yours. I can compromise on anything, but on this point, I won't give an inch.

Although I am just an ordinary scientific researcher, I have no identity, just a civilian. I don't have much wealth or status, so I can't force anyone to obey.

But I also have my principles, and I will never steal anyone's scientific results. I swore my life to God on this.

I beg your pardon for my offense, I'm not targeting you. But please also make sure that you consider my proposal carefully, because I am not joking. ”

Arthur wanted to excuse himself, but the experimental apprentice on the side suddenly grabbed his sleeve and muttered something in a low voice.

"Mr. Hastings, don't fight Mr. Faraday.

He was a very good man, and he was usually very talkative, but he was extremely persistent in scientific ethics.

Because he had been injured in this area.

You may not know that in the early years, Mr. Faraday was falsely accused of plagiarism in experiments, and if it weren't for Mr. Faraday's decent personality and perseverance, his research career and reputation would have been almost ruined.

So, don't keep pushing, he'll be very sad. ”

But although the apprentice said so, Arthur couldn't bite the bullet.

Faraday thought he was shirking, but Arthur wasn't.

It's okay for you to let him hunt down criminals, but isn't it going to kill him if he asks him to write an electrical paper?

"Mr. Faraday, I'm really not shirking, I'm not telling the truth, I actually graduated from the history department, and the thesis on electricity or something is really not my specialty."

Faraday saw that his attitude had softened, and the smile on his face returned.

"It's nothing. You went to college at least, and I only have a primary school diploma. I can write anything that you're a college student can do.

The profession of a scientist is not as difficult as you might think, and you may not know that there are many people in our industry who do not have higher education.

My mentor, Sir Humphrey David, also went to secondary school, but he became one of the best chemists in England through his own diligence and hard work.

If you're not confident in writing your paper, I can help you out too. As you can see, I'm in the lab almost every day, and you can start by writing a first draft.

After writing it, I will bring it here, I will accompany you to revise it over and over again, and we will always have a successful day. ”

When Arthur heard this, the sweat on his forehead fell: "Okay, okay, I'll think about it." ”

Seeing this, Agareth smiled from ear to ear: "Arthur, this Faraday is probably trying to kill you." Why don't you get me a soul and I'll do it for you? ”

Faraday was relieved to see that Arthur had finally accepted, and he asked with a smile, "What are you going to hear about when you come to me today?" Electricity, or Chemistry? ”

Arthur hurriedly changed the subject: "To tell you the truth, I came to you today for two purposes. Mr. Faraday, the knowledge you gave me about chemical gases last time came in handy so quickly. ”

Faraday was a little surprised when he heard this: "Are you using it to solve the case?" ”

Arthur smiled and nodded: "I can't go into too much detail right now, but if the final result comes out, I'm sure you'll see it in the newspaper." The knowledge you have given me may have saved many lives. ”

"That's great!"

Faraday excitedly patted Arthur on the shoulder: "Do you know why I like science? It's because I believe that science can change the world for the better, thank you, Mr. Hastings!

You have made my dream a reality, and I am even happier to hear this news than to discover electromagnetic induction!

What would you like to learn today? Distillation to extract benzene? Metallographic analysis? Liquefied chlorine and other gases? Hexachloroethane and tetrachloroethylene? Or is it the method and law of electrolysis?

As long as you want to learn, I will, I am willing to teach you! ”

Arthur hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Faraday, I can learn these things later." I am looking for you today to ask if you know a specialist in the treatment of lung diseases, and there is a dying little life in the parish of St. Giles that is in urgent need of a professional doctor. ”

"An expert in treating lung disease?" Faraday thought for a moment, then suddenly clapped his hands and said, "You've really found the right person." Do you remember the last time I told you about nitrous oxide? ”

"Nitrous oxide? Nitrous oxide? When Arthur heard this term, he couldn't help frowning: "You go on." ”

Faraday smiled and said, "Actually, the properties of nitrous oxide were discovered by my mentor, Sir Humphrey David.

At that time, Clifton founded a qi therapy institute whose main research topic was whether drugs could treat lung diseases through breathing gas.

My supervisor was invited to help with the research, and he prepared a large number of gases, one of which was nitrous oxide, according to Joseph Priestley's "Experiments and Observations of Various Kinds of Air".

He was preparing a large bottle full of nitrous oxide, and accidentally broke the bottle when the institute's founder, Dr. Thomas Bedos, accidentally broke the bottle, leaving the lab full of it.

They laughed inside for about ten minutes, and when the others came in, they realized that something was wrong, so they hurriedly pulled them out, and nothing happened.

Later, when I was apprenticed with my mentor, I also went to the gas research institute, and you wait a moment, and I will copy the address to you. ”
