Chapter 95 Dream in the sky

Marx was also in the studio of Sitau Garden. He heard the word "Jew" keenly. Of course, he was a Jew! He asked the host to speak: "Mr. Wagner, what do the musical Jews say? What role did the Jews play in music?"

Marx was not familiar with Wagner before, but the latter knew Marx's name because Wagner was also very concerned about politics. Karl Marx, the famous workers' movement thinker.

It turns out that Wagner’s so-called anti-Semitism was just saying that Jews did not speak European languages, especially German, which were not standard, which caused harm to German poetry and music art, and criticized Jewish composers such as Mendelssohn for their frivolous, superficial, and blindly pleased the audience. Mendelssohn’s name is much more prestigious than Wagner. Wagner did not dare to accuse Jewish music anonymously after Mendelssohn’s death in 1947. Now, with the popularity of the opera "Music Jews", everyone in the world knows his anti-Semitism stance.

To be honest, Marx's German is among Wagner's criticism! What's more serious is that Marx's workers' movement was considered "populism" by Wagner. Populism is not a good word, and it is not a good word in Downing's dictionary. Because it pleases the public, it ignores the right to speak for the elite. Elites are not just aristocrats. The reason why capitalists become capitalists, entrepreneurs can run enterprises, and scientists are authoritative is related to their knowledge. Populism can win public praise, but this is likely to draw wrong conclusions.

The BBC broadcast the first time anti-Semitists appeared, which was amazing. It was this controversy that made people in four European cities stop breathing, which seemed to be even bigger than Downing's atheism. Especially Munich, Bavaria is a member of the Confederacy of Germany and Italy, and there are many Jews. Their tradition is to attach importance to education. A considerable number of entrepreneurs and scientists gather in Munich.

Unexpectedly, two people who were tit-for-tat would meet on the narrow road of Situo Garden, and the battle was about to begin. The host quickly shifted the topic to Lord Windsor who could suppress the scene: "We are not here to argue today, so please ask Mr. Windsor to make a brief summary. The two of you have the chance to argue."

Downing admired Violeta's wit and continued: "If there is a debate, the world seems diverse, and a diverse world is beautiful. Of course, I am not a racist. We all came from Africa. Millions of years ago, people from the same tribe, all of them were brothers and sisters, and their intelligence was similar. There is no reason why we cannot talk to each other with each other. Mr. Wagner said that Jews have problems, well, maybe. Jewish friends might as well listen to what he said. If it is a misunderstanding, they can clarify. If there is really something that can be changed, it doesn't have to be embarrassed.

However, the problem of language ability is related to the growth environment. Jews do not seem to have their own country, right? When I immigrated to all over the world, I naturally had accent problems at the beginning. Mr. Marx's language ability is already very good, and he doesn't sing operas, so don't force others like this. The Japanese friends I brought recently are exaggerated. They can pronounce Cool as skeletons, which is really scary.

Nowadays, Japanese who can speak English are basically "drifters", that is, they encounter storms when fishing, and then escape from death and encounter American fishing boats, or float directly to the west coast of the United States. My current Japanese translation is magically blown by the storm and cross the vast Pacific Ocean and to the mainland of the United States. He was only 14 years old at that time, and it can be said that he started learning English since he was a child, so what he said was better.

When the Japanese delegation, Manjiro Nakahamazu, was 15 years old, he worked as a fisherman's helper to go out to sea to suffer a storm with his fishermen's companions. After 5 and a half days of drifting, he miraculously drifted to the uninhabited island of Bird Island in the Pacific Ocean, and lived there for 143 days. Later, he met the American whaling ship John Hoytfield nearby and was rescued with his companions. He was just a little bit short of his age, and his pronunciation was much worse. The pronunciation of the 'skeleton' I just mentioned was his masterpiece, ha.

They were pioneers of Japan's founding and famous people who would be recorded in history. Especially the 50 Japanese people I brought to Europe, all of them were full of energy and energy. Uh, I don't know what they did after they went back, so I sent a telegram to ask about the situation. Language will change greatly with the emergence of phonographs and radio, because they often hear standard broadcasts, which will slowly integrate into the new country, and their children will integrate into perfectly."

Violeta is a qualified crooked man, clearly and undoubtedly grasped an extremely important and controversial sentence: "Well? Wait, Mr. Windsor, I heard it right, you said just now, human beings originated in Africa..."

Downing: "Haha, yes, I'll leave this question to the initiator, the director of the British Museum, Mr. Darwin!"

Oops, it's time for me to show up. I'm afraid the thing about kneeling on the cactus at night cannot be avoided. Darwin wanted to hide aside and play soy sauce, but he didn't expect that Tangning pushed him to the front desk. This is a radio that can be heard in Europe at the same time...

Darwin: "...this...hehe, yes, I guess humans originated from Africa. The evidence is mainly anatomically found that humans are similar to those of the apes and orangutans living in Africa. These animals live in large numbers in Africa, so I infer that there was once the place where our ancestors and chimpanzees and gorillas live together. What should Mr. Windsor add to it?" He said, and quickly threw the microphone back to Downing like a hot potato.

Seeing Darwin's cold sweat come down, Downing laughed secretly, it was amazing that his wife was afraid of being like this. Unfortunately, Wallace stayed in the East Indies to continue his adventures, not in London, otherwise he could chat and laugh with him.

OK, Tangning added: "This speculation is not very strict. I have another idea. Think about it, why do human body hair so scarce? This is not suitable for humans to survive in cold areas. When winter comes, we humans quickly wear old cotton jackets. It is extremely cold. Animals like us with naked skin are hard to imagine that our ancestors live in cold places, whether in London, Germany or France, there are cold winters. Just think about it, you can guess that our ancestors should live in places without winter. The African continent that the equator passes through is a very good place.

There are still some hunters in the indigenous tribes in Africa. Their hunting methods are quite unique. They rely on endurance to hunt down deer who are good at running. Note that these Africa lives near the equator, but they can chase deer continuously for 7 or 8 hours in the heat until their prey is exhausted! Why are these hunters so heat-resistant? Because their hair is sparse and sweat glands are well developed, they can effectively dissipate heat, which is an ability that African herbivores are not able to achieve. This gives us a good inspiration, and it is likely that our African ancestors retreat their hair to gain a survival advantage."

Darwin had forgotten the cactus and followed: "There is really such a tribe? Who found it?"

Tang Ning: "I heard it by chance. For the sake of rigor, you should send someone to Africa to collect first-hand materials, and by the way, look for caves from all over Africa to see if there are any primitive human bones. The British Museum should do such a thing, right?"

Darwin said "yes".

Downing: "What is Charles working on recently?"

Darwin: "I found strong evidence that humans evolved from fish and were sorting out."

Tang Ning: "Oh, can you say something here?"

Darwin: "Yes. Some photos of babies with miscarriage and premature death have been exposed. I found that in the early stages of human embryos, there were gills and tails! If God directly created humans, it was obvious that he would not have done anything else. This proves that mammals evolved from fish, and human ancestors originally had tails, but later they degenerated."

As soon as this statement was made, the scientists at the Situo Garden Salon were immediately in an uproar. What a powerful evidence! Darwin is getting more and more powerful. The next issue of "Nature" is about to sell well again.

Darwin is still studying orchids. There are more than 20,000 wild orchids, and the shape, size, color and fragrance of the flowers are all kinds of strange, but the purpose is only one: to use the fragrance of flowers to attract insects or hummingbirds to collect nectar. When the pollinator is touched by them, pollination is completed for the orchids. Therefore, the reproduction of orchids cannot be separated from these pollinators. No matter what strange shape and structure it has, it is all to adapt to the pollinator. In order to collect nectar, pollinators must also adapt to the orchid. Under the action of natural selection, the orchid and the pollinator will evolve together. Only natural selection can explain the origin of the orchid structure.

But there is a comet orchid native to Madagascar that makes Darwin feel embarrassed. The Latin literary name of this comet orchid means "one foot and a half", and its name comes from the shape of its "shocking" flower: it has a long and thin flower distance, from the opening of the flower to the bottom is a thin tube of 11.5 inches long, and there is only nectar at 1.5 inches at the bottom. "What kind of insects can suck its nectar?" Darwin boldly predicted: "In Madagascar, there must be a kind of moth, whose beak can reach 10 to 11 inches long!"

The British Museum has sufficient funds and will send a team to Madagascar. Alas, these happy and fun scientists, Downing showed envy. When will he also travel around the world to get close to nature. It is best to invent an aircraft and float lightly in the blue sky.

Tangning expressed his desire to travel around the world and said he wanted to invent an aircraft.

Engineer Brunel was most interested in such a landmark vehicle and suddenly became excited: "What kind of aircraft is the same as the airship invented by the French decades ago? At that time, he used a bulky steam engine to fly across the English Channel. Now we have hydrogen fuel cells, which is much better than them from this point of view."

Downing: "Of course, our hydrogen fuel cell has reached 20 horsepower, and it's only a matter of minutes to push the airship. Our British George Kelly is known as the father of flight. The glider he invented in 1848 carried a child and it was still powerless. Even if we did nothing, we could just use Mr. Kelly's design and our fuel cell engine propeller, and we could fly!"

Brunel, who was so ecstatic that he was already uncomfortable in the marble salon that prohibits smoking, suddenly became excited when he heard this: "Yes, so we are only one step away from a real flying machine? Why not leave this project to me? The shipyard is now in good condition and I can put it aside."

He suddenly rushed out, and the female anchor made up the audience the name of this great engineer.

Tangning: "Mr. Brunell has a problem. He works hard to complete the project and makes others lose their lives. This is not good. We invent new things to benefit humans. Don't be happy before we have created happiness. There is a very bad thing about aircraft, which is that things are prone to accidents, and the way things happen to make people feel terrible. Anyway, I think it's quite terrible. All non-birds and non-flying insects have a certain degree of fear of altitude. Therefore, our aircraft must not only be safe, but also much safer than cars, trains, and ships to make people feel at ease. It is best not to have an accident for decades.

In order to achieve such a high level of safety, we have advantages from the experimental stage - we have radio technology that can remotely control the experimental aircraft. If the aircraft falls, it will fall. People will not be in trouble. Until the experiment is very mature, people will be put into the aircraft.

We will take the development of airships as the main direction because they can take off and land vertically, which is very important for global travel. For example, Mr. Kelly's glider, if the load capacity must be of a certain level, it has high requirements for the leveling and size of the field, so it is not suitable for flying as you wish. Moreover, such a powered aircraft requires high horsepower to maintain lift, and there will be large noise. I don't like noise. I originally wanted to soar like a vulture, but it turned out to be uneasy, which was not ideal.

Another great benefit of airships is that they save fuel in particular. I even suspect that we can get endless power by installing wind turbines on airships, which is even more powerful than the wild geese that migrate thousands of miles."

What a beautiful idea. After the struggle between godlessness and racism, the beautiful and kind side was finally shown on the first broadcast of mankind, which was of great benefit to improving the image of Lord Windsor.

In order to attract attention, Tangning claimed to invest 1 million pounds in research on aircraft technology. As a result, the rich man basically started with 1 million pounds, and he was embarrassed to say that it was less than this number. Now some "rich people" took out 100 pounds to reward flight research. The rich man waved his pen and was 10,000 times the bonus of the "rich people". This was not to show off his wealth, but to attract global flight enthusiasts to join his aircraft research and development team.

Why do you need so much money? Because you need to build a large site, a large wind tunnel laboratory, and various safety research at all costs. The high salary of flight elites. In short, Tangning is determined to win the airship project. Anyway, so much money is still idle.
