Into Unscientific

  Chapter 303 History: Why did I fly?

  Inside the laboratory.

  After hearing the sound of Mai Mai.

  An extremely simple Chinese character instantly appeared in Xu Yun's mind:

   Fuck!

  mmp yo.

   This is the third time, what is this guy going to do this time?

  Wheat’s first ah liai liai appeared on the night of Xunxing, when it led to the companion star of Pluto, which is ‘Charon’.

   As a result, Gauss discovered the deviations in the calculation process, and forcibly promoted the "one-year agreement" between Xu Yun and Gauss.

  The second ah liai liai happened a few hours ago, which directly led to the foreshadowing of X-rays, which Xu Yun was supposed to discover more than ten years later.

   And this time.

   What will it be?

   It was Brother Lv who promoted the development of the dungeon in the Northern Song Dynasty. He co-authored Brother Lv to become an adult this time?

   But then again.

  There are so many phenomena related to cathode rays, nothing more than electrons, Lorentz force and the extended X-rays.

   Now that the study of the microcosm has not really begun, wheat should not make any scary remarks.

Bar?

  Think of it here.

  Xu Yun couldn't help but took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Mai not far away, with a forced smile on the corner of his mouth, and asked:

   "What's wrong with you, Maxwell?"

  At this time, Mai Mai was standing beside the operating table, with his right arm wrapped around his chest, his left elbow resting on the back of his right hand, his thumb lightly resting on his chin, and his expression was pensive.

  After hearing what Xu Yun said.

  Mait turned his head, and instead of directly answering Xu Yun's question, he asked:

   "Mr. Luo Feng, if I remember correctly"

   "Mr. Babbage's analytical computer calculation principle seems to be stored and operated through a scale?"

  Xu Yun nodded and replied:

   "Exactly."

   Mentioned earlier.

  The Analytical Engine designed by Babbage has three modules:

  One is the gear-type "repository", the second part is the so-called "computing room", and the third part is similar to the controller in the computer.

  Gears are used for storage, and small hammers and pointers are used for calculation, and the power comes from steam engines.

   Then Wheat asked again:

   "High-intensity calculations require a large number of scale gears, and the volume is huge, and the combination is very complicated?"

  Xu Yun nodded again:

   "Exactly."

  Wheat nodded slightly upon seeing this, pointed to the vacuum tube on the table and said:

   "In that case, Mr. Luo Feng, I have an idea."

   "In order to maintain a high degree of vacuum for the Xiaoyan tube, we filled it with mercury from the beginning, and we just need to pump out the mercury when needed."

   "So what if we don't pump mercury while giving it some sort of delay"

   "Theoretically, is it possible to use the electrical signal of Xiao Yan's tube to replace the information reception of pointers and gears?"

  Xu Yun heard the words, the cockroach in his heart instantly turned into a scorpion.

  A bad premonition faintly rose in his heart.

  However, he kept his face as calm as possible, and said with a dry smile:

   "Um, Maxwell, I don't quite understand what you mean."

  Mait thought for a while, then simply picked up the paper and pen from the table, and drew on the spot:

   "This is an idea I just thought of. If we add some indicators, such as acoustic mercury, to the Xiaoyan tube, it will achieve the effect of delaying the transmission of information."

   "Then add some small component that controls the current from the cathode to the anode, and transmits information by controlling the intensity of the current."

   "In this way, is it possible to achieve the same storage and calculation effects of gears?"

  Xu Yun:

  “.”

   Right now.

  There is only one thought in his mind:

  Mai Mai, you with thick eyebrows and big eyes are also a time traveler, right?

   Seeing that there is no gap in the microscopic field, this guy actually turned his head and ran to the macroscopic field?

   Well known.

  In the long history of human civilization, the history of science and technology undoubtedly occupies a lot of space.

  In the history of science and technology, the computer is one of the well-deserved protagonists, and it can even be regarded as the top card.

  The development process of computers can be divided into several periods:

  Primitive Era, Vacuum Tube Era, Transistor Era, Integrated Circuit Era, VLSI Era, Intelligent Computer Era and Future Unknown Computers.

   Among them, the original period and the tube period are only separated by a comma. In history, the two generations have been separated for more than a hundred years!

  The beginning of the primitive period is in 1642, when the Gaul Pascal invented the "adding machine".

   This tool rotates with gears and can calculate the addition of 8-digit numbers. The Gaul government at that time also purchased fifty units of this device.

   Then there are Leibniz, Buccio's punched tape method, and Babbage and Ada who really use code as logic—that is, around 1850.

   And what about the tube era?

   This thing appeared in 1947!

   There is a whole century difference between 1850 and 1850!

  Be it the transistor era or the integrated circuit era later on.

  Even counting the span of the intelligent computer era, the sum is not as long as the gap between the primitive era and the tube era.

  The difference between vacuum tubes and electron tubes, especially electronic diodes, is actually not that big.

   Not to mention that the current vacuum tube is still a modified version.

   Even if you have to say something.

  The difference between a vacuum tube and an electronic triode is actually just a grid—and the grid has already appeared as early as 1821.

   So how to say

  If we simply discuss the degree of coincidence of principles, there is indeed a certain intersection between the vacuum tube and Babbage's analytical engine.

   And Mai Mai happened to be a bigwig known for his brains in history.

   Don't say anything else.

  Just because he can deduce Maxwell's equations, and calculate its speed and properties before the discovery of electromagnetic waves, his brain hole basically belongs to the level of a circle around his neck.

  So it seems reasonable that Xiaomai can discover the connection between the vacuum tube and the analysis machine?

  But Xu Yun felt panicked.

be honest.

  He can barely control the current situation, after all, it is difficult to make qualitative changes in one day, two days, one year, two years.

  But once the task is completed, return to reality.

   Hiss—

  Think about it.

   Mavericks has corrected the wrong absolute space-time view, and proposed the wave-particle duality of light, which is the basis of everything.

   Then in this era, the speed of light was re-measured, the photoelectric effect and electromagnetic waves were discovered, and then the charge-to-mass ratio of electrons was detected, and X-rays were "encountered" by chance.

  If you add another computer

  Mom.

  In this future timeline, there will be no spiritual ascension, right?

  But no matter how panicked Xu Yun is, he no longer has the ability to correct history:

  These bigwigs present are all current and future top figures. They have a strong sense of understanding and self-analysis, and can independently make various accurate judgments.

   This ability can be said to be a double-edged sword.

  When Xu Yun was doing experiments.

  It can help these bigwigs quickly understand the essence of the phenomenon, and it can be understood in one click, without step-by-step detailed explanations.

  But outside of the experiment, especially when someone proposes a certain idea, it is difficult for Xu Yun to find some flimsy excuses to fool them.

  So after Mai said this idea.

   Faraday, Gauss and the others quickly went through the words of wheat in their minds, and their eyes became brighter and brighter.

   After half a minute.

  Faraday put down the bottles and cans in his hand, and asked Xu Yun:

   "Student Luo Feng, I heard that Babbage and Ada have settled down?"

  Xu Yun sighed as if accepting his fate, and obediently replied:

   "Well, Mr. Charles and the others moved to Cambridge half a month ago, and officially started the research on the analytical engine last week."

   Faraday nodded slightly.

  He has a very good relationship with Ada’s teacher Mary Sommerway, and there are even some lace stories about Faraday and Mary Sommerway in later generations, so his relationship with Ada has always been good.

   In the original history.

  Faraday also wrote to the British government many times, hoping that the government could invest in Babbage and Ada again.

  However, the British government has already stumbled on Babbage once, and the British government has lost its sense of trust in Babbage.

  For example, then British Prime Minister John Russell once wrote back to Faraday, saying:

"If you are willing to be the person in charge of the project, the government can guarantee a capital investment of no less than 20,000 pounds, but if you are just a lobbyist for someone (referring to Babbage), then my answer may surprise you. disappointed."

  Later, Faraday also assisted Ada and Babbage with two hundred pounds, but unfortunately the effect was only a drop in the bucket.

  Some time ago, he learned about Cambridge University’s investment in Babbage from Gauss, and he also wrote to Ada to congratulate him.

   It's just that he has been preparing papers on the photoelectric effect these days, so he has never had time to meet with Ada.

   Then Faraday pondered for a moment, bowed his head to discuss with Gauss and Weber, and then said to Kirchhoff:

   "Gustav, it seems that you have to work hard again."

  Kirchhoff hastily bowed slightly and replied:

   "It is a great honor to be able to contribute to the professor."

  Xu Yun noticed that when Kirchhoff said this, his eyes were also shining with excitement.

   After all, in history.

  This young man with a strong German accent is also a master of electrical circuits.

  He often tinkers with relays in his spare time, and actually has deep theoretical achievements in the study of binary algorithms.

  It is a pity that he has not found the right direction, resulting in a lot of theory but no practical direction.

  In the end, those manuscripts can only lie alone in the display cabinet for future generations to look up to with regret.

  But now that Kirchhoff has stayed at Cambridge as an assistant teacher, perhaps his life trajectory will change accordingly.

  The line of sight returns to reality.

   After receiving Faraday's instructions, Kirchhoff left the laboratory in a hurry.

  Xu Yun took advantage of this free time to take another eel that had not been irradiated by the mysterious rays, and made a steamed eel with meat sauce for everyone.

  The recipe of this dish is relatively simple, just three steps:

  First cut the eel until the bone is broken and the skin is connected, add salt and soy sauce to taste, and fry in oil to remove the fishy smell.

  Then let the skin shape, lock the moisture and umami flavor, roast the meat and garlic, add oil to enhance the fragrance, and then simmer until the flesh and bones are just separated from the pot, carefully pull out the fish bones and replace them with ham.

  Finally, add lard, roasted pork, shiitake mushrooms, and tangerine peel, and steam for 30 minutes before serving.

Of course.

  Due to material problems, Xu Yun used lemon peel instead of tangerine peel, and Iberia ham instead of Jinhua ham, so the taste will not vary much.

   The delicious eel meat served with the bread from the cafeteria, even an old man in his 70s like Gao Si could eat it happily.

after an hour.

  The hungry Kirchhoff returned to the laboratory with Babbage and Ada.

  Compared to when we first saw it.

  Whether it is Babbage or Ada, the skin and mental state of the two are much better.

  When seeing Ada, Xu Yun had another thought in his mind:

   What Liszt is doing over there, I should take the time to go over there and have a look

   And the other side.

   After entering the laboratory.

   Babbage came to Xu Yun with a stride, and asked:

   "Student Luo Feng, where is the pipe that Mr. Gustav said can optimize calculations? I want to mess with it!"

Note:

  Some readers have been concerned about my small matter. The current situation is going well, and there is no danger to their lives. The main reason is that the other party is a family with many relatives. Some people can communicate normally but others are fierce, so they are still mediating.

  There is nothing to say about responsibility. The other party’s tricycle is retrograde and overloaded. However, some things are easy to talk about, but in practice, you really have to run around.

   If there are no accidents, I will probably be back the day after tomorrow. I am running around on a hot day, so please forgive me for the lack of updates.
