When the land is closed, the curtains are opened,

Evening in Stockholm is like midnight in London,

The wind is cold,

Silence.

The city seems to be filled with ice, and everything becomes silent and mysterious.

Lu Shi's knuckles were frozen white,

Brush –

He closed the curtains of the car,

"It's cold."

Poincaré, who was next to him, echoed: "Fortunately, Toon chose to stay in the hotel, and at the age of seventy, he must not be able to stand this temperature." By the way, Professor Lu, why don't you see Mr. Xiao? ”

Lu Shi pouted,

"Before, Lao Xiao and I joined forces to scare the Swedish Academy, and he definitely didn't want to touch the mold. Besides, Professor Monson ...... Humph......"

In short, George Bernard Shaw slipped away quickly, and perhaps also had French roots.

Poincaré couldn't help laughing,

"Speaking of which, how are you going to solve it?"

Lu Shi groaned and did not answer.

Roland next to him said: "Professor Lu is a historian like Professor Monson. That being the case, of course, we must speak with results. ”

Poincaré: "......"

Little brother really dare to say it.

Compare results with Monsen?

How hard is that......

You must know that when Monson wrote the "History of Rome", he had a dream, that is, it was enough for future Roman historical researchers to read his book, and there was no need to read the historical materials of his predecessors.

Scholars who dare to aim for this can not have a few brushes?

Poincaré asked Lu, "Professor Lu, do you think there are any shortcomings in the History of Rome?" Or rather, what do you think of that series? ”

Lu Shi spreads his hands,

"There are definitely drawbacks. For example, he only wrote about the Roman Republic, but not about the Roman Empire. ”

There is a book called "History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire", written in 1788 by the Englishman Edward Gibbon.

The book was written from the time of Hadrian, and not only does it not coincide with the timeline of the History of Rome, but there is even a gap of 150 years between it.

From this, it is not difficult to see that the History of Rome is indeed incomplete.

Of course, it is also due to the long span of Rome,

Outrageous-looking.

Roland said, "This doesn't count, does it?" Professor Monson himself said that he thought that Rome after Caesar had gone bad, and that Caesar was the last apologists of Rome. That's why he doesn't write later. ”

Indeed,

In the fifth volume of the History of Rome, Monsen writes:

“

It was an old world, and even Caesar's patriotism could not revive it. The dawn will not return until the darkness has passed. But Caesar, at least in the sweltering heat of noon, gave the weary Mediterranean people a bearable twilight.

”

The epic is coming.

Lu Shi chuckled,

"Professor Monsen's Rome is divided, and I think it has something to do with his ability to depict war scenes."

Roland nodded: "The two most wonderful parts of the History of Rome are the period of Hannibal's War and the period of Caesar, and they are very much written on military affairs. But where does the word 'division' come from? ”

Lu Shi replied: "Hannibal's War, taking the Second Punic War as an example, who is the hero who is now generally believed?" ”

Roland: "Scipio the Great?" ”

Poincaré: "Marcellus? ”

The two said two names.

Lu Shi said "um" and said affirmatively: "They are all." Moreover, Monson is also very objective. From this it is not difficult to see that he praised the Roman Senate, and that the people of Rome were full of passion and vitality. ”

"Ah......h

Roland reacted,

"So, when Professor Monson wrote the fifth volume, he changed his style of painting and began to praise Caesar and denigrate the Senate, which is a little strange......"

From the people's view of history to the concept of heroic history,

Attitudes have changed dramatically.

It is no wonder that there are two views on the History of Rome in the field of history:

I. The History of the Struggle of the Roman People and the Senate;

II. Biography of Caesar.

Roland gasped,

"Professor Lu, do you think it's copying...... Hiss ......"

Lu Shi glanced at him,

"How is that possible!?"

Roland embarrassment,

"I didn't say anything just now. You didn't hear anything. ”

Poincaré chimed in: "There are two possibilities for a sudden change in historiography. For one, the History of Rome was written in five volumes, covering the period from 1854 to 1885...... For more than 30 years, what can't be changed? ”

Roland asked, "What about the second?" ”

Poincaré explained: "The second possibility is personal likes and dislikes. Frankly, when I read Book 5, I felt that Professor Monson had a deep affection for Caesar. And I'm sure anyone who reads those words will have the same thoughts as me. ”

“……”

“……”

“……”

There was silence in the carriage.

There was a soft sound outside, the sound of horses' hooves on the ground, echoing through the silence.

Roland sighed,

"Personal likes and dislikes? Can you still be objective in writing like this? ”

Poincaré shrugged,

"I can't."

After speaking, he looked at Lu Shi and cast an inquiring look.

But Lu Shi just shook his head,

He knew very well that it was a thankless act to fight with Monson academically.

What to do in the end has to be considered in the long run.

At this moment, the voice of the coachman came from outside: "Gentlemen, it has arrived. ”

The three paid the fare and entered the hotel.

The lobby was deserted, with no scientists in sight, except for two attendants, leaning against the wall behind them, yawning from time to time.

Poincaré glanced at the clock,

"At this time, everyone should be in the restaurant."

When he turned to land,

"I ate here at noon. You should really try Swedish meatballs, they're pretty good. ”

After saying that, he led the way ahead.

Strangely, there was still not the slightest noise to be heard near the restaurant.

The three of them pushed the door open in confusion,

In an instant, Verne's voice crashed into his ears,

“

'What is the difference between scientists claiming to study for the benefit of all mankind, but in fact they are only using the wealth of society to satisfy their own desires and satisfy their desire for the harmonious beauty of the universe that is mysterious, and spending money in the red light district?! ’

”

Land Hours: ???

What's so ......

It's the content of "Chaowen Dao", hey!

He looked around,

The décor in the restaurant is extravagant, with the glow of the chandeliers and the colors of the murals intertwined to create a noble and comfortable dining atmosphere.

At the end of the row of dining tables is a small table that has been set up improvised.

The material is eight chairs,

They face each other in pairs, using chairs to create a platform of about three square meters.

Verne stood on it and read:

“

Science has developed to this day, and finally someone has come up with a more accurate definition of its essence. ’

”

At this point, the third chapter of "Chaowen Dao" ends.

The room was quiet at first,

Immediately after, deafening applause toppled the roof.

Discussions rang out from all sides,

"Scientific research is tantamount to prostitution at public expense? That's a ...... Hahaha! Suitable! It's so apt! ”

"It's getting better......"

"Yes, this one is getting better and better."

……

Lu Shi couldn't help but be full of black lines,

￣□￣｜｜

He could not have imagined that Planck's statement that he would share it with his colleagues was now a public execution.

Poincaré was confused,

"What are we missing?"

He subconsciously looked left and right, and found a physicist worthy of his name-

Hendrick Anton Lorenz.

His sleek forehead and classic large back are highly recognizable.

Poincaré temptation,

"Excuse me, are you Professor Lorenz?"

Lorenz is still intoxicated,

Someone called him out on the spot, startled him, and cast his gaze,

"Huh?"

His eyes were full of confusion.

Poincaré knew that it was the after-effects of being too focused on one thing.

That's what happens when you're working on a tough math problem on your own.

He added, "Professor Lorenz? ”

Lorenz finally came back to his senses,

"You...... Not...... Professor Poincaré? ”

Poincaré asked in a whisper, "What was going on just now?" Listen to an impromptu speech like Jule. ”

Lorenz shook his head,

"No, no, it's a new science fiction, haven't you noticed the manuscript that Monsieur Verne is holding in his hand?"

Science fiction.

Hearing this word, Poincaré felt like an electric shock,

He couldn't help but turn to Lu Shi.

Lu Shi is helpless,

"Yes."

That one word alone is worth a thousand words.

Lorenz also noticed Lu Shi,

Seeing this young Chinese, his first reaction was to raise his voice: "Are you ...... Not......! @*#￥%……”

The latter words became garbled because their mouths were covered.

Lu Shi said in a low voice: "Please be quiet." ”

Lorenz blinked desperately,

“！ @*#￥%……”

Lu Shi let go.

Lorenz looked at the young man in front of him,

After a long time, he said: "Professor Lu, you are really amazing, with good writing and high ideas. The most important thing is that writing science fiction themes can deeply integrate various science and engineering disciplines, and there are no obvious hard injuries, which is really rare. ”

Lu Shi said: "You have won the prize." ”

The scientist in front of me is the founder of the classical theory of electronics, so it is better to be modest.

What he didn't expect was that the other party didn't allow him to be modest at all.

I saw Lorenz take out a notebook,

"Can you sign it for me?"

He turned one of the pages,

There are some scribbled mathematical symbols on it, and you can see the vibration of electrons, the load-to-mass ratio of negative electrons, and so on.

It's nothing new,

In 1896, Lorenz published a paper on this.

He was a little embarrassed,

"This ...... I'm sorry, I've written it all. Only this one is relatively clean. ”

Lu Shi waved his hand, took out his notebook, and signed his name,

"It's okay, let's swap."

Lorentz:!!!

"Thank you, Professor Lu!"

He stuffed his notebook to Lu Shi, and snatched the other party's,

The whole process went smoothly, as if I was afraid that someone would regret it.

Lu Shi chuckled,

"Thank you."

He said goodbye to Lorenz, and then went with Roland and Poincaré to find Tolstoy and Verne.

Planck, Einstein are there, too,

It is not uncommon for scientists and writers to sit at the same table.

In addition, there is one more person,

It was a tall man, with a thick beard and deep eyes,

His facial lines are distinct, he wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and his polite appearance adds a bit of scholarly temperament.

But his behavior at the moment is not "scholarly",

I saw him holding the fork tightly, and he was murderously attacking the calf ribs in front of him.

The juice dripped down his beard, and every time he swallowed, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his eyes narrowed into slits, full of contentment and wildness.

Planck said in German: "Eat slowly, Wilhelm." ”

Lu Shi was dumbfounded,

I didn't expect this person to be William Conrad Röntgen,

Röntgenium discovered X-rays in 1895 and later used them extensively in medical practice.

Saving countless people is a great kindness.

I only heard Roentgen reply: "Can't slow down." It's the fourth chapter in a while, and I don't want to listen to it while eating, it's disrespectful to Professor Lu and "Chaowen Dao". ”

"Tsk......"

Planck was staggered.

At this time, he found Lu Shi,

"Professor Lu."

Several people at the same table looked at each other.

Lu Shi said hello, then sat down next to Planck and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?" ”

Planck looked helpless,

"I ...... too Alas...... At first, I shared it with Fermier and Albrecht, and they were so amazed that they were attracted to Ernest and Joseph. Immediately afterwards, Joseph called Herman, and Herman was followed by Gabriel, who ...... "

Lu Shi hurriedly raised his hand to interrupt the other party,

"Stop! Stop, stop! ”

He was almost dizzy when he heard these names,

"Professor Planck, please try to pick and choose as much as you can."

Planck was as good as a stream, and said: "The situation at that time was that your manuscript was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and everyone was lined up. ”

That sounds weird!

Lu Shi asked, "And then?" ”

Planck bowed slightly in Tolstoy's direction,

"Toon came up with the idea to have Monsieur Verne set up a small podium and read aloud the "Morning Story", and it ended up like this."

Lu Shi: "......"

I don't know what to say.

At that moment, Verne stood up and jumped onto the stage.

The break between chapters 3 and 4 ends,

For a moment, the restaurant fell silent.

Verne read aloud:

“

The first group of eight mathematicians walked down the long ramp to the altar of truth...... 'Ask questions.' '......' We want to see the final proof of Goldbach's conjecture. ’’

”

After reading a few paragraphs, there was a sudden sound of discussion below,

"Stupid! How stupid! Why the Goldbach conjecture?! How can it be the Goldbach conjecture!? ”

"Goldbach's conjecture is the crown jewel of mathematics! What's the problem?! I think you're the one who has the problem! ”

"! Obviously, the Riemann hypothesis is more important! ”

"What do you mean? Do you think number theory is inferior to your field of study? ”

"I'm just seeking truth from facts!"

……

The quarrel grew more and more intense.

And, not just those two people, there were different opinions at each table.

Lu Shi scratched his head,

He looked at the people at the table,

"Otherwise, we'...... Mr. Poincaré? ”

I saw Poincaré stand up and say, "I have always had a topological conjecture that any single-connected, closed three-dimensional manifold must be the same as a three-dimensional sphere. I wonder if this conjecture can be proven. ”

Landtime: !!

Unexpectedly, the Poincaré conjecture that should have appeared in 1904 was advanced because of "Morning News".

He stood up,

"Everyone, if you want to listen, please be quiet!"

The phrase is almost roaring.

Everyone's eyes were attracted,

"Is that Lu?"

"The Chinese...... It should only be Professor Lu, right? ”

"I didn't expect to be so young."

……

The restaurant gradually calmed down.

Lu Shi said: "If you continue to quarrel, then don't blame me for taking the original manuscript away. ”

This threat is very useful,

The entire restaurant immediately fell silent.

Verne quietly gave a thumbs up to Lu Shi, and then continued to read,

As a result, when it came time for archaeologists to ascend the altar of truth to offer sacrifices, the scientists quarreled again,

What they discussed this time:

A. Causes of the extinction of dinosaurs;

B. Tutankhamun does not exist;

C. What's going on on Rapa Nui Island (also known as Easter Island).

Which of the three is more important?

Lu Shi did not hesitate, and once again used threatening methods to maintain order.

As a result, every time Verne read about the sacrifice, he had to ask Lu Shi to stand up and say a few words to calm the chaos in the restaurant.

The most important thing is that there are many physicists who participate in the Nobel Prize.

This leads to the fact that at the end of the fourth chapter, a group of people almost round their fists and fight.

Just like this, they still want to see Lu Shi and Meng Sen bleeding like a river?

Just don't bleed yourself first.

Lu Shi took the opportunity to take away the original manuscript,

"Excuse me, guys, but I said that if you can't keep quiet, I'll ...... Hum...... That's the punishment. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was silenced and cursed,

It was eerily quiet, as if a pin had dropped.

Someone made a drowning suffocating sound and begged Lu Shi: "Professor Lu, please ...... I really...... We really wanted to hear it all. ”

Others chimed in,

"yes!"

"Professor Lu, please~please~"

"I beg you, Professor Lu."

……

How could Lu Shi agree?

The fourth chapter of "Chaowen Dao" is only about the knowledge of various disciplines, which is quite easy to deal with.

And the fifth chapter is a proposition in the philosophy of science -

"Chaowen said, death at night", is this scientific view worth recognizing?

This is the content that involves the essence and is bound to cause controversy.

If there are really a few stubborn scientists who can't think of it and perform a death testimony live, then the matter is a big deal.

Let's calm them down first.

Lu Shi took away the original manuscript,

"I'm sorry, but I did what I said."

He ran away and went straight to his room, locking the door.

The people in the restaurant haven't reacted to what is going on.

After a long time, someone said, "Alas...... Our disrespect for Professor Lu infuriated him......"

The voice was extremely weak, as if it had lost its soul.

Everyone looked at it and found that it was Lorenz, a Dutch theoretical physicist.

I saw him slumped in the chair, as if he had been drained of all his strength.

I don't know how long it has been,

"Let's go."

He slowly stood up.

The rest sighed, stood up as well, and left the restaurant.

Lorenz returned to his room and sat down at his desk,

He opened the notebook and thought about doing some calculations, but he was surprised to find that it was Lu Shi's notebook, and there were only two Chinese characters on it: Long Fei Feng Dance-

Land, time.

"Whew~"

Lorenz let out a long breath, and the contents of the first few chapters of "Chaowen Dao" rushed into his mind again.

He shook his head, dispelling the confusion of thoughts,

"Well, let's go to bed today."

He changed into his pajamas, got into the bed, and muttered to himself, "Don't think about what you have or don't have, it's important to rest...... Go to sleep...... Sleep ......."

……

……

……

Two hours later,

“Fxxk！”

Lorenz sat up from the bed abruptly,

"What the hell is the epilogue!?"

!

Can't sleep!

(End of chapter)
