1840 Indian Rebirth

Chapter 195 [Famous in England]

Joule and Kelvin had mixed feelings.

The horse whistle could also understand them, so he said carefully: "I'm sorry to hide something from you...but for me, there is no way to do it."

Kelvin was silent for a moment: "You let us get something that doesn't belong to us."

"No, Thomson." Ma Whistle said, "Those belong to you. As I said, you have inspired me, and you can even be said to be my teacher."

Kelvin smiled: "Kano also inspired you and me, and he can be regarded as our teacher, as did Newton, but no one will sign their names in the author of the paper."

"Anyway, we owe you your favor. Thank you," he said finally, but in a polite tone that didn't sound like a real thank you.

After all, for an aspiring scientist, false honors are not pleasant, let alone the feeling of deception.

Ma Shao also felt guilty, and the relationship with the two was a little awkward for a while.

Undoubtedly, for the three of them, this academic conference, which is enough to be recorded in history, did not end happily.

Fortunately, history will not remember such details. In fact, no one will remember. After a few days, the embarrassment between the three disappeared, as if nothing happened at all.

The just-concluded academic conference, the academic community of the British Empire, was overwhelmed by the light of the second law of thermodynamics.

Facing the obvious truth, the vast majority of scientists have to abandon their prejudices and give due praise to the horse post, such as "a great physicist", "the hero of thermodynamics" and even "the greatest physicist after Newton". Family".

At the same time, Ma Shuo's other identity, an invincible fighter, also fermented with his identity as a scientist, causing a violent storm in British public opinion.

In just a few days, he was completely famous in England, and his name was known to everyone from Glasgow to London.

Hampton Court Palace.

"...Mr. Faraday, I hope you like this house, you can move here anytime." Prince Albert said, the old man sitting opposite him is of course the famous scientist Faraday.

"Thank you, respect Your Royal Highness, and Your Majesty the Queen." Faraday thanked again.

"By the way, everyone has been discussing that Indian scientist recently. I want to hear your opinion, Mr. Faraday." Prince Albert suddenly mentioned, "It is said that he completed an amazing academic report at Cambridge University."

Faraday nodded: "Yes, after that meeting, I had some private exchanges with him. I have to say that this Indian chief is an admirable physicist, and he can even be said to be a genius."

Prince Albert: "That sounds really interesting, I never thought there would be scientists among the Indians."

The prince pondered: "Maybe I should see him..."

……

Horse Whistle still lives at Cambridge University.

He has been quite busy recently, and there is an endless stream of people visiting him, most of them are scholars, but there are also many people with other identities, such as curious media and nobles.

And the person with whom he has had the most contact recently is undoubtedly George Bull.

Ma Shao is happy to communicate with this future great mathematician. Although his mathematics level is not high, he still has some knowledge.

In fact, every time he talked to the Whistle, Boole felt so inspired that he visited at least once a day to exchange mathematics and talk about entropy.

"Boolean, which school do you teach? My intuition tells me that you are an excellent teacher." Ma Shao asked.In a few days of communication, he can basically conclude that Bull is a high-level teacher.

"I teach at my own school," Bull said.

Ma Whistle was startled: "My own school?"

"That's right, George runs a school. In fact, it's his main business." The man who spoke was a bald, fat man who was Bull's good friend De Morgan, who was also a mathematician.

Speaking of which, Professor Morgan still has some connection with China. The first algebra book in modern China was translated from his work.

Bull nodded: "If it weren't for taking care of my school, maybe I would find time to get a degree at Cambridge University. It's really shameful to say that I don't have a degree."

"Heroes don't ask where they come from. Believe me, Bull, no one will care about your origin in the future." Ma Whistle said.

"Thank you." Bull smiled.

Ma Shao suddenly changed the subject: "I want to visit your school in a few days, what do you think?"

Bull didn't understand.

Ma Shao continued: "Actually, I brought some young people with me to the UK this time. I hope to arrange for them to study in the UK, but most of them obviously need some pre-study before entering university. So I need to find a good secondary school."

Bull showed a bit of embarrassment: "My school is just a very ordinary small boarding school, even a little... dilapidated, I'm afraid it won't satisfy you."

Ma Shao smiled: "The quality of the school has nothing to do with the newness of the building, the teacher is the key. I am sure you are a responsible teacher."

Morgan said, "That's right. Anyone who knew George knew he was an incomparable teacher."

"What's more, no matter how dilapidated the house in the British school is, it must not be worse than my school. My students will definitely be able to adapt to the environment there." Ma Shao said again.Many Apache students had been taught in wooden sheds, and Horse Whistle couldn't believe there were worse classrooms in the UK than wooden sheds.

"Okay." Bull nodded, "When are you going to come to my school?"

"Where is your school?"

"In Lincoln."

The horse post pondered and said: "It seems a little far away. Let's go after I have been busy for a while. I still have a lot of things to deal with now."

In addition to the people who visited him intensively, he is also busy with publishing papers and books recently. Although "Thermodynamics" and "Guns, Germs, and Steel" have already been written, they still need to make some revisions if they want to be officially published, and Some annoying processes.

Fortunately, he is famous now, but no one will make things difficult for him.

Just then, Kelvin found the horse post.

"What's the matter, Thomson?" Horse Whistle looked at Kelvin's expression, a little surprised, he seemed a little excited.

"Mashao, I have good news for you." Kelvin said excitedly.

"What good news?" Ma Shao asked.

Kelvin said: "Her Majesty is going to receive you, and of course, the President of Cambridge University."

The president of Cambridge University is often a symbolic position, generally held by various celebrities and nobles, but at present, Prince Albert himself holds this position.
