Chapter 2216: 《NATURE》

"Are you leaving? How long will it take to return?" Huang Chun already knew that Shen Long was going to Anguo to purchase medicinal materials, so she was reluctant. Since the two met, Shen Long has never traveled far.
"Why? I can't bear me?" Shen Long said with a smile on his face, crawling up the pole, but he knew it well.
"Bah, who can't bear you anymore." Although he said so, Huang Chun started to work as soon as he finished. "I'll make coffee for you. The priest's friend gave him some good coffee beans and said what Made in Jamaica, let me cook it for you."
Huang Chun’s bedroom outhouse, with a coffee pot on the mud stove, slightly steaming, the two sat on a small bench, Huang Chun poured a cup of coffee and handed it to Shen Long, and got up to get the sugar. When he came back, Huang Chun He sat next to Shen Long, helped him mix sugar, and then talked about some trivial things that happened recently. Both of them enjoyed this feeling.
The next day, Shen Long set off with Tu Er and Mr. Xu. Instead of riding horses, Shen Long rode in a carriage with them. Er Tu and Mr. Xu chatted casually on the carriage, while Shen Long held a The book looked carefully.
After a while, Grandpa Tu still couldn't help but asked, "Jing Qi, what kind of book are you reading? I looked at this as foreign language? Do you even know foreign language?"
"I learned German and English with my husband at the time." Shen Long handed them the book. "This book is called "NATURE", which translates into "Nature" in our words. It is similar to the court's mansion newspaper. There will be a copy, but the Di newspaper said it was a major event in the court, but "Nature" published the latest scientific research results of foreigners."
On November 4, 1969, Sir Joseph-Norman-Rockyer, the British astronomer and discoverer of helium, published the first issue of "Nature" magazine. Thirty years later, "Nature" magazine has developed into a global One of the best scientific journals, Sir Lockyer still held the position of editor-in-chief. He did not step down until 1919.
It is worth mentioning that so far, Chinese scientists have published papers in the journal Nature. In 1881, Nature published an article titled "Acoustics in China", based on experiments. , Overturning the famous physicist John Tindol’s conclusion in acoustics and correcting Bernoulli’s law, the author of this article is the modern Chinese scientist Xu Shou.
Xu Shou had a strong interest in mathematics and science since he was a child. He studied with his hometown Hua Hengfang. After failing to take the imperial examination, he began to concentrate on researching science and technology, exploring the principles of things, mathematics, astronomical calendar, physics, temperament , Medicine, mining, etc., he is very interested.
Later, Xu Shou and Hua Hengfang came to Shanghai together, visited the modern and famous scientist Li Shanlan who studied mathematics, astronomy, mechanics and botany, purchased some foreign scientific translations such as "The Natural History" in Shanghai, and also purchased I got some instruments for physics experiments and started a series of physics experiments according to the tips in the book.
Years of accumulation made him a scholar with a wealth of modern scientific knowledge. In July 1862, he made China's first steam engine. In 1866, they cooperated to make China's first motorized ship "Huang Hu". "No." This ship has been used in history textbooks.
If such talents were placed in later generations, they would definitely be national treasure-level figures. However, Zeng Guofan's treatment for Xu Shou was only to appoint him as the "master book" of Zuo Li, who was a subordinate of the official. How could such Manchus not be beaten by the West?
After creating the "Huanghu", Xu Shou proposed many pertinent opinions about the development of science and technology to Zeng Guofan, but he did not receive attention. In despair, Xu Shou went to Shanghai to try to translate Western scientific works while trying He wrote the thesis and this "Acoustics in China" was completed by him during this time.
If in the 21st century, although the gap between China’s technological development and the West is getting smaller and smaller, if someone can publish an article in Nature, it is still a matter of celebration, but now, Xu Shou’s achievements have not It caused the slightest response, and few people had heard of "Nature" in China.
Mr. Tu Er and Mr. Xu took a few glances and gave it back to Shen Long, with a little interest, so Shen Long added, "There are many new discoveries of Western medicine in this area."
"Oh, I have seen doctors of foreigners, all wearing white coats, and it looks like a funeral. In this dress, the patient dares to go to their doctor to see them!" Speaking of this, Grandpa Tu I said something, "If you say guns, maybe foreigners are powerful, but when it comes to medical skills, it is still our ancestors' ability!"
Shen Long shook his head, "That's not necessarily, as far as the information I saw in this magazine, foreigners have surpassed us in many aspects of medicine!"
Before the nineteenth century, or even the early nineteenth century, the medical level in the west was lagging behind in the east, but in the second half of the nineteenth century, with the development of cytology, cytopathology, bacteriology, and experiments The foundation of medicine~EbookFREE.me~Independence and development of pharmacology, Western medicine began to develop by leaps and bounds.
"I don't believe this, even those foreigners with red hair and green eyes, they still know how to pulse? How to see a doctor?" Tu Erye, like most practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine, is immersed in the glory of the past, not many people Can take a look at the progress and development of Western medicine.
"Not to mention, we haven't been able to make Ma Huasan, the master of Hua Tuozu, but foreigners have already made medicines with similar effects." Dr. Simpson began to use chloroform for medical anesthesia and used this anesthetic During female childbirth and surgery, Queen Victoria used chloroform when she gave birth to her eighth child, Prince Leobert.
Tu Eryi was a little unhappy, but he still refused to admit defeat. "Occasionally, there are one or two kinds of magical medicines. There is also a lot of good prescriptions in Mongolian medicine and Tibetan medicine. A good prescription for side effects, but none of these can compare with ours."
"Oh, that also shows that Western medicine is not completely useless?" Shen Long had no intention of arguing with him, but he was sighing in his heart. Thousands of years ago, what method of traditional Chinese medicine used to prepare medicines is still the old way, and now Western medicine has begun to synthesize or extract the active ingredients in medicine through chemical methods. If you have been obsessed with the sweet dreams of the past, the gap will only be widened.
