Chapter 555 256: Electromagnetic Boss Offline Team Building (6.8K)_3

Obviously.

This unlucky kid has been called to be a tool person again.

Xu Yun spent a few minutes getting washed up, and after having breakfast, he planned to go to the agreed location to meet with Faraday and others.

Just as he stepped out the door.

A familiar person carrying a kettle, seemingly on his way to the water room, passed by him:

Jones Bod.

This was the same greasy-headed guy Xu Yun met on his first day of school who was notorious for appreciating stinky socks and had given Xu Yun a big white-eye the next day.

Over the past few days, Xu Yun had run into this senior multiple times.

The results, predictably, involved being met with a rolling set of white eyes every time without exception.

But today...

Upon seeing Xu Yun.

Jones Bod first looked surprised, then immediately broke into a bright smile, pouncing like the Big Bad Wolf:

"Good morning, Junior Luo Feng!"

No doubt.

This greasy-haired guy must already know what happened last night, possibly having been there himself.

Seeing how his drool was almost about to splash on him, Xu Yun could only smile awkwardly and exchange a few words with him, repeatedly calling him "senior."

He then politely declined the invitation to appreciate stinky socks together and quickly left the dormitory building.

On his way to the meeting point, Xu Yun encountered quite a few Cambridge students greeting him.

Some greetings were friendly, some playful, and some had other motives—for instance, someone was carrying a small bag of pounds and directly proposed exchanging them for other results from 'Fat Fish' and so on.

Xu Yun managed to handle these greetings one by one, eventually arriving successfully outside a teaching building they had agreed upon the day before.

At this point, the outside of the teaching building had been sealed off by students from the Student Union. A young assistant, upon seeing Xu Yun, led him through twists and turns to reach a relatively secluded classroom.

At this moment, more than a dozen professors had already gathered inside this classroom.

Among them were familiar faces like Prince Albert, Stokes, and Faraday, who had been there yesterday.

And also some faces unfamiliar to Xu Yun.

As the main character Xu Yun appeared, everyone who had been chatting turned their attention towards him in unison.

Soon, Faraday smiled and waved at him, saying:

"Student Luo Feng, come over here."

Xu Yun obediently walked to his side.

Perhaps because it was just the morning, Faraday seemed much more energetic than last night.

Once Xu Yun was beside him, Faraday first patted him on the shoulder, then pointed to several unfamiliar faces around them saying:

"Come, let me introduce you to some of them who rushed here from London this morning."

With that, he first pointed at one of the bald older men and introduced:

"This is Mr. Newman, the current head of the Royal Society's London District and the chief lecturer of Physics at University College London."

The older man nodded at Xu Yun.

Then he pointed to a blond middle-aged man, introducing:

"This is Professor William Edward Weber, director of the German Göttingen Observatory, and also a top electromagnetic scientist."

"He happened to be on a business trip in London, so he came to the University of Cambridge with Mr. Newman."

"This is James Prescott Joule, a rising star just like your mentor Stokes."

"You should see his name on the new member list of the Royal Society of the United Kingdom in a month, without surprise."

"This is Professor Weber's assistant, Kirchhoff..."

Faraday enthusiastically introduced about seven or eight unfamiliar faces, making Xu Yun's heart race along the way.

If the fifth Solvay Conference in 1927 was the pinnacle of human scientific history,

then today, without a doubt, is the electromagnetic version of a Solvay conference at the University of Cambridge.

Faraday and Wheat, Old Tang, those three are already notable, not to mention the others.

James Prescott Joule.

One of the contributors to the law of conservation of energy and the proposer of Joule's law.

The unit of energy or work in future physics books is named to commemorate this big shot.

As for William Edward Weber and Newman, perhaps the cognitive barriers are high since nine-year compulsory education physics books don't introduce them much.

But their contributions and capabilities are undeniable.

Let's put it in terms easier to understand:

Faraday discovered electromagnetic induction, and these two summarized the law of electromagnetic induction.

Besides, Weber's assistant Kirchhoff is also a future big shot. Kirchhoff's current law and Kirchhoff's voltage law are pivotal in electrical design.

To put it simply.

Except for Old Tang, whose major contributions in the future are in thermodynamics, all these academic experts' positions in electromagnetic history rank within the top fifteen!

A true gathering of electromagnetic big shots offline.

If Oster and Ohm were to join as well, it would be an absolute kill.

However, unfortunately.

These two big shots are not within the United Kingdom and are nearing the end of their lives.

One will pass away in a few months, and the other in three years.

Therefore, even if the news reached their ears, there's unlikely any chance they would make it to the scene.

Subsequently, Xu Yun fought off the urge to suggest taking a group photo and showing off, and politely greeted everyone one by one like a good child.

According to Faraday's introduction.

Joule and others received the news at one in the morning and managed to rush to the University of Cambridge by four or five in the morning.
