I Can Meet with Dead Scientists
Chapter 389 - 210 History Took a Turn Here (Still 10,000 Words!!)_2
The reason Little Niu could become the discoverer of the Law of Universal Gravitation is that he derived the relevant formulas and defined and generalized the phenomenon mathematically.
Therefore, if Little Niu could also happen to discover the electron and summarize the photoelectric effect, Einstein indeed would not need to worry about Little Niu handling his own field as well.
Moreover, with Einstein’s wisdom,
if Little Niu could solve certain problems in advance, his achievements might reach even greater heights.
Then Xu Yun folded the letter and tucked it into the envelope.
Contemplating how to send it out, he saw the letter slowly transformed into a beam of light particles and dissipated through the first door.
Xu Yun: "...." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Meanwhile.
1672.
Great Britain.
University of Cambridge, Trinity College.
"Hello, Professor Newton!"
"Professor Newton, have you eaten?"
"Professor Newton, I just bought a very pretty swimsuit..."
"Professor Newton, my boyfriend wants to invite you for fencing this weekend!"
After solemnly dealing with various students,
Newton, wearing his Anta sneakers and carrying a bag of bread, headed to the office belonging to Professor Lucas.
Compared to the time when he parted with Xu Yun,
Little Niu’s expression, though still aloof, was considerably calmer, and his gaze wasn’t as gloomy as it used to be.
After all, in this timeline, Little Niu hadn’t been struck by Hook, and his dignity hadn’t been trampled on.
On the contrary,
with Xu Yun’s help, he had given Hook quite a few metaphorical stabs in the heart.
Six years ago,
after the first batch of ketchup was sold outside the Grantham District, Xu Yun suddenly disappeared without a word.
Although Little Niu and the William family were somewhat surprised, over time, they gradually accepted this reality.
Two years later,
as the plague gradually subsided, London also gradually returned to normal.
Little Niu then carried a significant amount of ketchup dividend to bid farewell to the William family and returned to London, back to the University of Cambridge.
At the same time, with the recommendation of his teacher Isaac Barrow,
he eventually became the youngest Professor Lucas in the history of the University of Cambridge with a ’First Honours Degree’.
In the following four years,
Little Niu successively derived a large number of mathematical and physical results and selectively published a small part of them.
Even though the published content constituted only a trivial fraction of the whole, it still made him the youngest academician of the Royal Society.
However, in recent days, due to a certain special coincidence,
Little Niu suddenly encountered some special problems.
This problem brought Little Niu great distress, causing quite a few of his hairs to turn gray.
In the end, with no other choice,
Little Niu suddenly thought of the Fat Fish he met earlier.
Their first meeting was warm, with Fat Fish having been temporarily fainted by the power of knowledge, while Little Niu kindly took him home.
After Xu Yun woke up,
he mentioned that he was from Leiden College of Netherlands University, and was an assistant teacher at the School of Life Sciences.
So theoretically, after Fat Fish disappeared, he should have returned to the Netherlands.
However, over the years, Little Niu had sent a few letters to Leiden College, but all ended with no response at all.
"I suppose it will be the same this time."
Thinking of this,
Little Niu couldn’t help but shake his head and continued towards the office.
Just as he approached the office door, his thick eyebrows raised.
At that moment,
exposed from the gap at the bottom of the office wooden door, was a small portion of a letter’s tail!
Although he didn’t know who had sent this letter, upon seeing it, an idea suddenly flashed in Little Niu’s mind:
Perhaps...
This letter is related to Xu Yun!
Thinking of this,
he hurriedly rushed to the door, took out his keys, opened the door, and picked up the letter.
Sure enough,
on the sender’s column on the cover of the letter, were the English letters ’lifeiyu’.
But what was the meaning of the little girl’s photo with chestnut-colored hair and pink clothes beside it?
With this doubt,
Little Niu gently closed the door and walked into the office.
After sitting down,
Little Niu couldn’t even spare the time for a drink before impatiently tearing open the envelope like a groom on his wedding night.
Just like the letter he sent, Xu Yun’s reply was also a very concise sheet of folded paper.
"Dear Mr. Newton,
Mr. Newton, long time no see, I am Fat Fish..."
Little Niu carefully read Xu Yun’s introduction, then thoughtfully nodded:
"So this guy went to recover, no wonder he couldn’t be contacted."
"But now having received a letter is not a bad thing, at least Lilani can get an explanation."
In the years after Xu Yun’s disappearance,
Little Niu and William Asku were somewhat reluctant regarding Xu Yun’s abrupt departure but quickly adjusted to it.
Only Lilani, who originally was a mischievous child, underwent a major personality change after Xu Yun disappeared, visibly becoming reclusive.
Although Little Niu appeared indifferent in human relations, he was an exception in front of the William family.
So all along,
he was very concerned about Lilani’s situation and worried about her mental state.
Now with Xu Yun’s return letter, perhaps this young lady will see things more clearly.
Thinking through this,
Little Niu returned his attention to the letter and continued to read.
"....The mathematical tools you invented are truly admirable, reaching heights far beyond my personal ability. Please allow me to express my highest respect to you."
