Chapter 6 wedge four

Absolutely refuse to visit the Anpu Moth Research Institute.This moth research institute is located in Vienna, the capital of Austria, on the south bank of the Rhine River, between the post office and the collegiate church, an ancient building at the corner, not far from the Science Research Hall. That building was originally not suitable for a research institute, but it was the property of the Countess of Anpu. It will be enough. Where did the title of the Countess of Amp come from? Different people say that she is the Countess of the Austrian Empire, and some say that she is a nobleman of the Bulgarian Dynasty. Since the age of 20, she has been married and divorced continuously. In the past 20 years, there are records available for inspection, and there have been as many as six times. Each of her husbands is super rich, including Arab princes, famous Europeans The heir of the industrial family, the king of India and so on.

Every husband who broke up with her gave her a lot of money and jewelry, so the Countess of Anpu was a popular person in European high-level social occasions.Not only is she rich, but she is also extremely beautiful, with pale golden hair, blue eyes, extremely modern thinking, and a rare classic appearance. Although she is over forty years old, she has never given birth, and her figure is so attractive that it makes people Many young girls are ashamed of themselves. Such a rich and beautiful countess has nothing to do with the "Moth Research Institute".She had sex with moths by accident.

In the winter of that year, Europe was full of wind and snow, and the snow was extremely thick everywhere. In order to show off her wealth, the Countess of Anpu specially modified her private car to land on the snow in the fastest time, and then , She sent invitations, dispatched a plane, and invited a group of people to her luxurious villa at the foot of the Alps to enjoy the snow. Such a date is very exciting, that is, the roads around the villa are all blocked by heavy snow, and only the plane can carry people away.That is to say, unless the invitees do not come, if they come, they cannot leave without the permission of the host—unless the weather gets warmer, the snow melts, and the road is cleared.

Naturally, all the people who were invited were rich, nobles and celebrities from all over the world. One of them was Chen Dao, a professor at the University of Vienna and a famous entomologist.Chen Dao is a Chinese-Austrian hybrid with a rather oriental appearance, and has always been regarded as a pure Chinese.Chen Dao's mother is an Austrian, a highly accomplished soprano singer, and is very respected. When the Countess of Anpu was inviting guests, she suddenly thought that after the snowstorm, in the castle-like villa at the foot of the Alps, everyone would gather for at least half a month. All of this is so mysterious, in this mysterious place In the atmosphere, it seems that the Chinese are indispensable.In the minds of some Westerners, China is always ancient and mysterious.

So, she sent invitations to Chen Dao and Chen Dao's mother. Chen Dao's mother didn't come, but Chen Dao came. After all the guests arrived, there was a carnival every day. In several halls, various games were played according to their own interests.The temperature outside is minus 20 degrees, and the indoor temperature is 22 degrees, which is the most comfortable temperature for people.All kinds of fine wine can almost be used to take a shower. There are so many foods that are piled up like a mountain. In case one of the guests suddenly wants to eat something unprepared, they can also send a plane to go out to buy. Countess Anpu is very hospitable. There are eighty-six kinds of cheese prepared, and she also specially declared that one of them is "Chinese plant-based cheese", so that everyone has never eaten it before.

Chen Dao is taciturn, thirty-six years old, unmarried, thin and tall, with the appearance of a standard scholar. Chen Dao seldom participated in such occasions as invited by the Countess of Anpu.He also seemed a bit out of place with the rest, having only had two chances to speak in public. Once, it was the Countess of Anpu who specially announced that there was a supply of "Chinese plant-based cheese". The servants in uniforms with bright red gold buttons came out with the "precious and incomparable" "cheese" on a sterling silver plate, the Countess of Anpu : "This is food from ancient and mysterious China, please give us some opinions from our Chinese friends!"

Amidst the applause and cheers of everyone, the silver plate was placed in front of Chen Dao. Chen Dao looked at the plate and almost fainted. The so-called "Chinese plant-based milk" was just fermented bean curd. At this time, Chen Dao showed his high sense of humor. He kept his expression on and started his speech. He is a biologist, and he has various scientific names in his mind. Fermented bean curd is made of soybeans. , everyone knows what it is, but if you are not an expert, you will not know what GLYCINE MAX is.When Chen Dao said that this "vegetable cheese" is made of this plant, the audience was in awe. Then, Chen Dao expressed all the chemical effects in the production process of fermented bean curd with technical terms. The ten-minute speech made everyone mesmerized, and everyone rushed to put the "Chinese plant-based cheese" into their mouths.

After that speech, Chen Dao was even more respected, so the second time his words made Countess Anpu interested in moths. That night, about a dozen people gathered in a small living room to listen to a female guest singing soprano. Since Chen Dao's mother is a famous singer, Chen Dao was also invited to appreciate it. The female guest opened her throat and screamed. Chen Dao looked like he had swallowed a sock that had not been washed for eight weeks.For the sake of social etiquette, he had to listen patiently.At this time, he really didn't understand why there is no part in the structure of the human body that can suspend hearing.

Just when Chen Dao couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to rush out the door, the female guest suddenly uttered a pleasant high-pitched voice, which lifted Chen Dao's spirits. But the lady, after making that pleasant sound, immediately fell silent, with a horrified expression, stretched her hands forward, and pointed at a marble statue in front of her, her mouth opened wide. Looking at the place she pointed, it turned out that a moth flew from nowhere on the head of the marble statue and stopped. Only then did Chen Dao know the more pleasant sound that the lady made just now. , it was her screaming, not her singing.

The moth that stopped on the marble statue was very fat and brightly colored. Its body was bright yellow and dark brown with stripes, and it had four wings, two of which were bright yellow and two of dark brown. It had very complicated patterns. When the people present saw the moth clearly, several ladies expressed their fragility and exclaimed.The Countess of Anpu was different from other women, she did not call out, but walked over, crossed her hands on her chest, and said in a sweet voice: "Ah, what a cute animal!" A playboy next to her immediately said: "No matter how cute you are, it's not one hundred thousandth of yours."

Countess Anpu gave a charming smile. Another man picked up a magazine and wanted to slap the moth. Chen Dao raised his voice: "Don't slap it." The man turned his head: "Why? It's just a nasty moth." Chen Dao walked over: "Everyone, please take a look at the head of this moth. What impression does the pattern on its head give you?" The pattern on the moth's head is extremely peculiar. As long as you pay attention, you can see that it is a very clear skeleton. Terrible feeling. Chen Dao said: "The common name of this moth is the skeleton moth. It is a common species in Europe." The man held up the magazine again: "Wait until I kill it." Chen Dao said coldly: "Before you kill it, I want to ask, how much do you know about moths?" The man stared blankly, Chen Dao walked over, and gently put the moth on the back of his own hand: "Moths have a kind of ability that humans are absolutely inferior to, do you know?" After a whisper, there was silence again.Chen Dao continued: "The communication between people depends on making sounds (speech) and showing images (writing), so that the other person can understand what they want to express." A middle-aged man said: "Sometimes, gestures are fine too!" Some people laughed, but Chen Dao's expression was very solemn: "Gestures also allow the other party's visual system to come into contact with images, just like seeing words. Simply put, if one person wants to understand another person's thoughts, he must pass auditory and visual systems." A man took the opportunity to pinch the plump buttocks of a woman beside him, and the woman slapped the man's hand away: "What do you want to do?" The man laughed: "I'm just doing an experiment to prove that Dr. Chen Dao missed one item: the tactile system can sometimes make the other party understand what to do." There was a burst of laughter in the living room, and Chen Dao also smiled: "Yes, everyone should notice that the method of human communication and transmission of information is not directly sensed by thoughts, but an indirect method of communication." The living room fell silent, and Chen Dao continued: "The biggest weakness of indirect communication is that it can be fake, a person clearly hates the other party to the bone, but his way of expressing it can be polite or extremely enthusiastic , the way humans communicate with each other is indirect, so one person can never know another person's true thoughts." Countess Anpu said: "It's terrible!" The man who was about to kill the skeleton moth just now said: "Perhaps it is because of this that human beings can survive!" Some people let out a few helpless wry laughter.Chen Dao continued: "However, moths can communicate directly. The courtship messages sent by some male moths can be known to female moths several kilometers away: but biologists have never known how moths directly transmit information. Yes, some say that the male moth emits a scent, and others say that it emits a high-frequency or low-frequency sound wave-although no one has measured this sound wave, I think that if further research, it may be possible. A thought wave of a moth." The lady who sang said: "God, Dr. Chen, do you think insects have minds?" Chen Dao said: "Exactly!" Chen Dao's affirmation stunned everyone, and he immediately explained: "All kinds of creatures have different ways of thinking. It is ridiculous to think that only human beings have thoughts. A male moth will never understand the meaning of Anpu girl. What loveliness is there in the count, because of a different way of thinking!" Someone laughed, and the gentleman who wanted to kill moths shook his head and said: "This is not convincing. Even if moths can communicate directly with each other, they are just expressing some simple messages. Male moths send out courtship messages, but they never see each other." Will there be a big love story?" Chen Dao didn't wait for everyone's laughter to stop, and said loudly: "The main thing is the way of delivering the message, not the content of the message. The simplest digital formula: 1+1=2' and 'AAa->AA: AA:Aa:A=12:2:2:1', if there is no simplicity, there will be no complexity. Simple information can be expressed in a direct way, and complex information can be expressed theoretically, as long as But humans can't find this way!" When Chen Dao finished speaking, Countess Anpu took the lead in applauding, and the rest followed suit.Countess Anpu asked again: "Dr. Chen's research in this area must be very successful?" When Chen Dao heard the countess's question, he couldn't help being very frustrated: "It's a pity that I have come up with a theory, but the university doesn't support it. This research requires huge manpower and material resources──" The Countess of Anpu immediately raised her hand. Perhaps, the purpose of her raising her hand was just to let the guests see her ruby ​​ring and bracelet more clearly. Perhaps, she was really concerned about Chen Dao's theory. Got interested.In short, after she raised her hand, she immediately announced: "Dr. Chen, I will support everything needed for the research, and you just go ahead." Chen Dao never imagined that his speech would have such a shocking result.He wanted to carry out research based on his vague theory, but suffered from lack of funds. The Countess's proposal really surprised him, to the extreme. Therefore, Chen Dao was speechless for a while.The countess smiled very charmingly: "However, I have one condition." She paused dramatically: "I want to enjoy the fruits of research first." Chen Dao was a little puzzled: "Enjoy the results of research?" The countess said: "Yes, if I can directly know the other person's thoughts, I can know whether the person who proposes to me really loves me." Everyone laughed, and amidst the laughter, someone shouted, "For God's sake, Dr. Chen, tell me the second formula you read just now, what is it?" Chen Dao replied calmly: "That's biologically, a proportional expression of mutations in even-numbered gametes in genetic factors." It is meaningless to recount that meeting. After the meeting, Chen Dao returned to Vienna and issued a budget to Countess Amp, who generously signed a huge check, "Amp Moth Research Institute" Thus established.In the second year, while listening to the opera in Vienna, the countess suddenly became interested and wanted to visit the research institute. Chen Dao naturally led all the staff of the research institute to welcome her. How did you know that as soon as the Countess walked into the first research room, she exclaimed: "God! Dr. Chen, we said that we are studying moths. Why do you raise so many caterpillars? Could it be that the caterpillars can also directly communicate with each other?" Do you want to communicate ideas?" Chen Dao's temper is not very good, but for the sake of Countess Anpu's provocative beauty, he had no choice but to explain patiently: "Countess, all moths are transformed from caterpillars, there are no caterpillars, there is no There will be moths." The countess's bright red upper lip formed a circle in surprise, which looked very attractive. Chen Dao had to turn his head away so that he could not resist the urge to kiss her. The Countess never came to the Institute again because she hated caterpillars.But she still paid for the funds needed for the research.Chen Dao has also been immersed in research. Because the research has no results at all.Therefore, very few people in the international biological community know that there is such an institution, and Chen Dao also hates external interference, absolutely refuses to visit, closes the door, and tries his best to prove his theory.
