Chapter 535: Zhang 251: Chaos, Chaos, the Entire 19th Century is in Turmoil! (7.4K)

Seeing William Whewell turning to leave, the discussion at the scene grew louder.

Albert stood up from his seat and said to everyone:

"Fellow students, please quiet down!"

"Dean Whewell has just vouched for Luo Feng, and Trinity College will be responsible for providing the experimental equipment Luo Feng needs."

"Although these pieces of equipment are relatively easy to prepare, the experimental environment is quite special and needs to be conducted after nightfall, so please don't get too excited just yet."

"The entire experiment will be conducted openly. Interested students can wait by the roadside after dinner."

After speaking, he glanced at the still-standing Angus Roman and asked:

"Roman, do you have any objections?"

Angus Roman was somewhat lost in thought and was startled by the words. He quickly shook his head and said:

"No objections, Your Highness, everything will be done according to your instructions."

His task was to stir up the topic, and although Xu Yun's current approach didn't immediately disgrace Whewell, if Xu Yun's demonstration failed, the backlash would be immensely multiplied!

Seeing that Angus Roman was sensible enough, Albert nodded slightly and continued:

"Then everyone, please calm down. Next, Mr. Noles from Peter College will temporarily take over for Dean Whewell to preside over the holy hymn singing of the opening ceremony!"

As Albert's words fell, an elderly man with silver-white hair stood up from the front row.

The elder slowly walked to the stage and took over the command of the scene.

Xu Yun sensibly saluted and quickly returned to his seat.

Compared to when he was on stage,

the attention on Xu Yun now was more intense and sharper.

Although physics still belonged to chemistry back then, its importance already began to subtly show signs.

Not to mention other colleges,

at least among the four divinity schools present, most people, besides theology students, mastered or understood the forefront theoretical disputes of the scientific world.

Since more than a hundred years ago, many physicists had been attempting to find core evidence for the particle theory.

But the results always fell short of expectations.

And now, at this opening ceremony, Xu Yun claimed he could present proof against wave theory?

Such statements, coupled with the identity of 'Fat Fish's descendant,' inevitably stirred another thought amidst skepticism:

What if he's telling the truth?

If he truly is the descendant of Fat Fish?

That would be a person who even Sir Newton had to admire...

With this mindset,

students' thoughts had already wandered far away, and many were clearly distracted during the subsequent parts of the opening ceremony, completing them perfunctorily.

After the ceremony ended, the students routinely dispersed and exited in an orderly fashion.

Of course,

except for Xu Yun.

Accompanied (supervised) by several Student Union cadres, he went to a small tent to await the arrival of night.

At the same time,

a strip of area over five kilometers long was cleared on the road from Trinity College to King's College.

This area was enclosed with waist-high barriers, attracting a large number of students to watch and discuss.

"Hey, Rupert, do you know what's this for? A running race?"

"I have no idea!"

"I heard some rumors, they say that Eastern guy who got in through connections plans to perform writing thirty thousand words in one day..."

Many were puzzled by the enclosed area, but equally, there were many students who attended the opening ceremony.

Hence, through the spread of attendees, the news quickly swept through the University of Cambridge:

The rumored descendant of 'Fat Fish' would present proof against wave theory tonight!

After another half an hour,

"Luo Feng,"

Thomson rushed into the tent upon receiving the news. As a candidate for the Student Union president, passing the review wasn't difficult for him:

"Luo Feng, I heard from Maxwell that you've got strong evidence against wave theory?"

Looking at Thomson, who was still catching his breath, Xu Yun felt a slight warmth in his heart:

"That's correct."

"Are you confident?"

"Of course."

Thomson looked at Xu Yun seriously for a while before slightly nodding:

"That's good."

Both he and Wheat personally experienced that night raid, so their understanding and trust in Xu Yun were much higher than ordinary people.

Not to mention,

just based on Xu Yun's ability to recognize his Morse code during the night raid, Thomson was sure Xu Yun was no illiterate who hadn't even received primary education.

Xu Yun didn't show much nervousness on his face, which naturally gave Thomson some reassurance.

An hour later,

another person appeared in the small tent.

Michael Faraday.

In the future world Xu Yun traveled from, a certain girl group released a popular song with a familiar lyric:

"You are electricity, you are light, you are the only myth."

This lyric made it clear that electricity and light had an inseparable connection.

Thus, as a soul figure of the Second Industrial Revolution, Faraday naturally conducted deep research on Guangxu.

For instance, in 1845, he discovered that when polarized light passed through a transparent medium placed in a magnetic field, its polarization rotated.

This phenomenon, later called the Faraday Effect, was the first to reveal the relationship between light and electromagnetism.

Then in 1846,

Faraday further speculated that light could be a form of disturbance generated along the lines of a magnetic field.
