Chapter 651 I Emphasize Again: I Am Not a Scientific Star!

When Sir Arthur Hebins Tinis visited Moscow, the Moscow Natural Philosopher Association held a grand welcome meeting at the University of Moscow. Members of this association include the heads of the judges, prosecutors, and the heads of Moscow's gates. In short, some people who never study natural philosophy or non -natural philosophy.

Hesteins is the diplomat appointed by the British king. The Tsar has awarded him the Anna Medal and ordered the free materials and certificate fees. His reputation naturally passed into the ears of the person. They know that this British Cavaliers is a scientific leader in the European electromagnetic community. He often goes in and out of the Olmack Club in London. He has been received by King Louis Philip in Paris. Do not let yourself be ugly in front of this adult.

To this day, we treat Europeans and Europe, and we still bow their knees like the residents of Emperor Jing, as the residents of the provinces treat Emperor Jing. other people. The reason is that we have bluffed. The Russians have not yet liberated from the mockery of Peter, the insults of Bilong, the contempt of German bureaucrats and French teachers.

Westerners have discussed that we have different minds, gangster insidious, and brag about our face concepts and self -bragging. Here we can have two faces in the same person: they are ready to shake hands with liberals, and they are also willing to act as the most orthodox King of Bao. This is not unique, just for respect, in order to please others. On our skull, the nodules that are pleasing to people are particularly developed.

At the University of Moscow, the reception of Histeins is really small. From the door to the auditorium of the Natural Philosophy Association, there are ambush everywhere: here is the principal, the head of the department, this is the fledgling professor, there are old experts who are about to retire and speak slowly. Everyone uses Latin language. Congratulations to him in German and French, and all this was carried out in the terrible tunnel called the corridor. Even if you stay here for a minute, you must have a cold for a month.

Hessinus had to take off his hat and listen to it, and he had to answer every sentence. I had warned him not to repeat the mistakes of Humbao, but he obviously did not take my words seriously. Therefore, when I heard him complaining about this encounter, I laughed and laughed helpless and sad.

Hessinus walked into the school auditorium and just sat down, thinking that he could finally be peaceful.

However, his butt had just fell, and he had to stand up again.

Because the Supervisor of the University of Moscow's University of Moscow believes that it is necessary to release a brief and powerful order in Russian to recognize the great achievements of the famous scientist. Then, the literary professor "officer" Sergei Greenca fucking his voice when he participated in the Patriotic War in 1812 and recited his masterpiece with a hoarse and low tone. Its beginning was:

Hessinus, the Son of Electricity and Magnetic,

Such as Olympus Provences,

Stealing the fire of the sky,

Give the glory of Fanchen wisdom.

The glaciers of the northern country are dissolved,

The Wolga River sings lowly:

"This is the wise man given to the world."

Such as Akimid's leverage, leverage the universe

Such as Galileo's hope, understanding the sky ...

The reason why I did not write this poem is not because I want to conceal anything, but because Sir Arthur Hebinsinus said that nothing would continue to tell me.

When Professor Greenka recited poetry, he seemed to be in a smoke -filled battlefield. Every time he shouted, he tried to beat the manuscript paper in his hand, as if he was afraid that the audience had a little slowness in the scientific superstar from afar. The air in the auditorium became heavier, and the applause on the audience's seats came one after another. Obviously, the students who were forced to participate are trying to cater to the performance.

At first, Hestein tried his best to maintain his solemnity, because his Russian was not good enough at the time, and he did not support him to understand that he was too gorgeous. However, when he gradually realized the exaggerated metaphor and dramatic speech style of the professor, he lowered his head slightly, covered his mouth with his hands, and pretended to be adjusting his collar. Drilling it.

He wanted to talk about the new progress at the European Electromagnetic Conference last year. He took out the scientific reports obtained from Faraday, Gauss and others, and took out his scientific journal "Nature", and shared it with Moscow. However, our principal Mr. Devidbesky has a bouquet of antiques weaving with Peter Emperor Royal Fat. Please appreciate it ...

Fortunately, Sir Arthur Hesteins' personal cultivation is good, and it is also quite studied in Russia's history. Therefore, he was so scorched that he finally wrote a perfect ending for this ridiculous farce.

Whenever I remember this, I always remind me of the scientific investigation activities of Humboldt in Siberia.

Ural Cossak, who was bad at the General Office of Perm, always liked to tell how he escorted the "Prince of Prussian Madman Humboldt" to Siberia.

People asked: "What did he do there?"

The Cossack replied: "It's just stupid things: collecting grass, looking at sand. Once in the salt marsh, he said to me through an interpreter: Go down into the water and get me some soil from the bottom of the water. I got it, but it was just some ordinary soil. But he asked: 'Is the water cold down there?' I thought to myself, no, brother, you can't fool me. So I saluted solemnly and replied: 'Sir, that's what I should do, as long as it's what I should do, I am happy to serve you.'"

Really, although I love my motherland deeply, sometimes I still can't help but feel that there is a reason why Europeans look down on Russia. But in the final analysis, this is not because the Russians are stupid, on the contrary, it is because the Russians are too smart, so that we have too many minds that we shouldn't have!

——"Past and Memories" by Alexander Herzen

The cold wind of Moscow blew through the high walls of the Kremlin and into Herzen's study on the outskirts of the city. The fire was burning in the study. Herzen and Sir Arthur Hastings sat opposite each other, with a pot of hot tea and a porcelain plate of Russian snacks between them.

"Mr. Herzen."

Arthur said with a helpless smile: "I have to admit that I lost the debate with you before. Although there are also many guys in the Royal Society who cannot be called natural philosophers, you can at least chat with them about natural philosophy. After all, natural philosophy is a fashion in London, and the generals of the Royal Navy and the Army have always been very concerned about the latest developments in science. But the Moscow Natural Philosophers Association... Now I really believe that the people who really understand natural philosophy there probably can't even stand in a corner of the hall."

Herzen held back his laughter. If he hadn't graduated, he would have gone to the school auditorium today to see with his own eyes how embarrassed Arthur was on the stage.

This British knight used to be surrounded by Gauss, Humboldt, Faraday, Ampere and Ohm.

However, today, standing beside him were Dvigubsky, Panin, Chumakov and Miakkov.

Just thinking about this scene, Herzen couldn't help laughing: "This is the wonder of Russia, Sir, we always turn all profound things into a grand show in our own way."

"It's really impressive."

Even Secretary Blackwell couldn't help complaining: "From the moment we walked into Moscow University, Sir became an offering on the altar. The president, professors, and officials who couldn't even pronounce scientific terms greeted him in various languages. You know, it soon became a competition to see who could congratulate him in the most difficult Latin, German or French."

Arthur really didn't want to dwell on this issue. If it wasn't for getting closer to Herzen, he didn't even want to mention what happened at Moscow University today.

The main reason why he came to meet Herzen today was for another matter: "Do you know that the Moscow Telegraph has been closed down? Their editor-in-chief Polevoy has been arrested and is currently being held in the residence of the Governor-General, Duke Dmitry Golitsyn."

"Polevoy has been arrested?" Herzen's eyes first showed a look of shock, and then he covered up and said: "This is really unfortunate news, but...but what does this have to do with me?"

Arthur said: "I was chatting with Mr. Zubkov, the secretary of the Governor-General, yesterday, and we happened to talk about Liberalism and the French Revolution. I asked him what the attitude of young people at Moscow University was towards liberalism. He simply gave me a few examples and told me that despite all its shortcomings, Russia's hope ultimately rested on Moscow University. Then he talked to me about several graduates of Moscow University, including you. "

"Did Zubkov talk to you about me?"

It was not surprising that Herzen and Zubkov were friends, because in the final analysis, there were only a few liberal circles in Moscow.

To enter this circle, you had to at least have attended university, received higher education, or have a wealthy and prominent family background and received guidance from high-quality tutors, otherwise you would not even know what liberalism was.

And these two prerequisites overlap in most cases, which led to the fact that almost every liberal in Moscow knew each other.

Herzen asked tentatively: "Have you visited him at home?"

"Yes."

Arthur smiled and replied: "I have to say that place surprised me. Of course, I am not referring to the beautiful villa where he lives, but the portraits of revolutionary celebrities hanging in the study of the villa. I originally just wanted to see the bird specimens, but in fact I saw a wall full of John Hampton, Count Mirabeau, Sieyès, Jean-Sylvain Bailly..."

Herzen joked: "But he didn't dare to hang up the portraits of Cromwell and Robespierre after all."

Arthur shook his hand Pointing out: "Perhaps this is why Mr. Zubkov is the first secretary in Moscow, and Polevoy of the Moscow Telegraph was ordered to be arrested." Herzen nodded in agreement and said: "I really envy his knowledge of the ways of the world, especially his subtle way of rebuttal with a hint of sarcasm. I rarely praise officials, but Zubkov is a person I admire very much. He is a liberal, but what is more surprising is that even though I know this, I still think that this smart and capable gentleman will become Russia's Minister of State in the future."

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

Arthur replied: "I heard from him that you are very close to Borlevoi, are you both friends?"

Herzen's appearance looks tangled: "We can be considered a friend, probably ... I really hope he treats me as a friend, but we quarreled because of your position some time ago ..."

"What's wrong with you and him?"

"I ..." Herzen sighed, and he looked very uncomfortable: "His evaluation of Saint -Westism was angry with me, and his refutation was really ridiculous, so I accused him of becoming him before. The backward conservative who opposed life, scolding him as a coward ... "

"However, this backward conservative in your mouth, the coward, is now arrested by the government."

Arthur picked Herzen's scar: "As far as I know, the coward is not qualified to stay in that kind of place."

Herzen stood up annoyedly: "I should apologize to him, I ... I should go early."

"No, you should be fortunate that you haven't gone." Arthur advised: "Alexander, you are lucky, you are not helpful to solve things in most cases, but this time a small probability event occurred, this time You have avoided it. "

"This kind of luck ... really lucky?"

On the one hand, Herzen has a feeling of escaping in death, on the other hand, I feel very ashamed.

‘Coward’ was in prison, and his self -righteous “Warriors” were celebrating himself to escape.

Herzen packed in the room uneasy. He suddenly stopped and asked, "Do you know what they are going to do to do it?"

"What? Nothing is to let him admit his crime -deliberately attacking Russia's political system and conspiracy to subvert Russia's national system."

Herzen heard his words, his face was white, and he said in his mouth: "This ... if he admits it, most of them can't escape this robbery."

Secretary Blackwell reminded: "No, you are naive, he does not admit that the same is true. You may not have dealt with the gendarmerie. I met a gendarmerie in Petersburg. Zhang Wuxin's white paper, he has the ability to ask a few ink. "

Herzen swallowed, he knew that Blackwell did not exaggerate his words, and the gendarmerie did have this means.

Palevoy thought he was the editor -in -chief of "Moscow Telecom". With the influence of this newspaper, he could enjoy certain privileges in terms of speech.

But now it seems that Nicholas I does not think so.

Herzen couldn't help asking Arthur: "You ... do you think there are still turns?"

"Transfer? Maybe." Arthur said: "As far as I know, your governor Demitri Gorizzen has a warm temper and is an upright and insightful decent person. Moreover, he can also be regarded as a one. The nobles of liberalism.

"Opportunity? What opportunities?" Herzen asked quickly.

Arthur tapped the desktop gently with his fingertips: "An opportunity to spit it out."
