I Can Meet with Dead Scientists

Chapter 432 - 219 This Dungeon Is a Bit Strange (Part 1)_2

"This is your relic... um, your leftover luggage, we haven’t touched it, now it’s returned to you."

Xu Yun took the luggage and thanked them once again.

At the same time, his fingers quietly reached towards the side pocket of the bag, and his fingertips soon touched a few hard objects.

These were the small pieces of gold he prepared earlier, with some in his inner clothes and the rest in the bag.

Just as the person said, they indeed hadn’t touched his luggage.

Seeing this situation.

Xu Yun’s perception of the young enthusiastic people improved considerably.

Willing to dig a grave for a stranger and not covet the wealth of the ’deceased’; this kind of behavior was indeed commendable.

Then he patted the dust off his body and said to the young man:

"Sir, let me introduce myself, my name is Luo Feng. May I know your esteemed surname?"

The young man smiled, inserted the shovel into the ground, placed his hands on the handle, and said:

"Hello, my name is Kames Kirk Will, pleased to meet you."

Kames Kirk Will?

Xu Yun ran the name through his mind and frowned slightly.

There don’t seem to be many famous scientists named Will in British history, at least Xu Yun couldn’t think of anyone by that name.

Globally, there’s an Isonwell involved in radiation, who was once Nobel-nominated.

But he was born in 1900, estimating his current appearance would be in 1920, and he was from across the sea, he shouldn’t be speaking English with a Scottish accent...

It seems the person might be like Mr. Xie or even Yongzhu - just a passerby?

While Xu Yun was pondering, the young man’s gaze lingered on Xu Yun’s face for a while, then curiously asked:

"Mr. Luo Feng, are you... Eastern?"

Xu Yun nodded, saying:

"My ancestors came from the distant Eastern continent, currently doing some textile-related small business in the Netherlands."

Introduced quite some time ago.

Since the Middle Ages, the Netherlands has been the trading hub of Europe, with very frequent interactions with European countries.

Apart from the Black Death that forced Little Niu back to Wolseop, there was almost no break in contact between the Netherlands and European countries.

Currently, there are always several hundred to a thousand Eastern People living in the Netherlands, hence assuming an identity is not difficult.

Just as Xu Yun was planning to strike up a conversation to determine the specific year and location, Will suddenly asked enthusiastically:

"Mr. Luo Feng, since you are an Eastern person, have you heard of an academy called the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect?"

"Wind Spirit Moon Shadow, of course... uh, wait?!"

Xu Yun instinctively prepared to nod, but just after saying a couple of words, he suddenly froze in place like being electrified:

"What sect did you say?"

Will gave him a slightly puzzled look, not understanding why this Eastern person’s reaction was so big, but still explained:

"It’s the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect, I heard there’s a sir named Han Li in the sect who is an excellent mathematician."

Xu Yun, with his molars tightly biting the inner wall of his mouth, forced himself not to lose his composure through the pain.

Meanwhile.

His heart was overwhelmed with turbulent waves.

Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect, Han Li.

Why did these two names emerge from this young man’s mouth?

Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect and Han Li were only words he casually mentioned to Little Niu in the 1665 dungeon, and other than the Anta and Yang Hui Easter eggs, there was nothing related in reality!

Moreover, based on the previous two dungeons’ experiences, the dungeon’s timeline shouldn’t be... Wait!

On that thought.

A realization suddenly flashed through Xu Yun’s mind; after pondering for a moment, he tentatively said:

"I’m sorry, Mr. Will."

"Although I am from the East, I have never been back to the Eastern continent, so I’m not quite familiar with matters related to the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect."

"Actually, someone asked me about these things a long time ago, after all, it’s a rumor left by Mr. Newton."

Will’s face showed a hint of regret, seeming a bit disappointed with Xu Yun’s answer, but he still seriously corrected:

"Mr. Luo Feng, this is not a vague rumor, but rather content from a memoir personally written by Mr. Newton. It’s said that the original document is still preserved in the University of Cambridge’s library."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yun’s pupils suddenly contracted.

Indeed!

This dungeon seems not merely a parallel world but also related to the 1665 dungeon!

At the same time, according to the 1665 dungeon... that is, the first gate’s novice task not terminating could be concluded.

The timeline of this dungeon and that of 1665 should not be too short, with a seventy percent chance of spanning over a hundred years.

Otherwise, there is simply no need for the Halo to open another dungeon.

However, with this, a new problem arises:

How many parallel worlds does the Halo connect?

This kind of ’computational power’ completely ’simulated’ in the sandbox, where does it come from?

This thought appeared in Xu Yun’s mind and then dissipated instantly, after all, it’s evidently not the issue needing consideration now.

Currently, the information he possesses is still too little, far from reaching the possibility of touching the so-called ’truth.’

And facing Xu Yun.

Will kept talking, looking like a loyal fan of Little Niu:

"If there’s a chance, I really wish to visit the University of Cambridge’s library and take a good look at that memoir."

"It’s said that Mr. Newton originally wasn’t intending to write a memoir, but for some reason, suddenly changed his mind a few years before his death, which is how everyone came to know about the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect."

"Although Mr. Newton was modest, that famous saying of ’I am merely standing on the shoulders of Fat Fish,’ does have a few grains of truth in it."

"Not to mention, just speaking of..."

Just as Will was about to continue, the corner of his eye suddenly caught sight of something.

He then quickly turned his head and waved toward the distance, saying:

"Hey, Mr. Thomson, he’s not dead!"

Xu Yun instinctively looked in that direction too.

In the distance of fifty or sixty meters, a man carrying firewood was walking toward them.

Clearly.

This was the companion mentioned by the young man.

"Thomson..."

Xu Yun subtly repeated this surname, and a name instinctively popped into his mind:

Joseph John Thomson.

Joseph John Thomson, usually referred to as JJ Thomson in the local books.

This man was a well-known British physicist, and the electron was discovered by him. He even won the Nobel Prize in 1906.

Additionally, this boss had a legendary achievement – nine of his students also won Nobel Prizes...

If someone were to select the top ten scientists with contributions to human history, JJ Thomson certainly wouldn’t make the cut.

But if the list were expanded to fifty.

His name would undeniably occupy a spot.

Moreover, Joseph John Thomson was a character from the latter half of the nineteenth century, theoretically matching the pre-Gate hints.

Of course.

This does not necessarily mean this Thomson was definitively that JJ Thomson; there’s also a fair chance he was just a passerby.

After all, the surname Thomson is quite prevalent in the UK, nearly comparable to the Zhang surname in the homeland.

A Zhang could be Zhang Heng, or it could be Zhang Fei.

So...

Could it be him?
