Chaoying's small group [Zhongyingmei]

Chapter 408

Sheldon Lee Cooper is a moving humanoid encyclopedia, he seems to know everything he needs to learn and what he doesn't need to learn.

This morning, the kindergarten was supposed to have an activity class, but the children walked out of the classroom in a line. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was a strong wind. There were faint flashes of light in the thick clouds, as if there was thunder and lightning.

Seeing this, Sophia hurriedly chased the children back like ducks.

"Hurry up, hurry up and get back to the house before the rainstorm," she said.

The children were very disappointed. Those who were holding the ball and those who were going to play the seesaw were listless. Among the crowd, only Sheldon breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had regained his life on the verge of death due to sports today.

The torrential rain came as expected, and it was raining heavily, and the lightning was accompanied by rumbling thunder, and it exploded in the distance, which was not dangerous.

It's not dangerous, but it still makes the children shiver in fright.

The little bean dices in the classroom huddled together, afraid of thunder and lightning, and wanted to watch again, pointing to the window to see what kind of shape the lightning strikes.

"Like a tree root," said Little Jack.

Daisy also leaned on the window to watch the rain.

The rain hit the glass, and it was icy cold. She put her little hand on it, and the body heat made a small palm print on the window.

"Dad said that there is lightning in the sky because there are a lot of positive and negative charges accumulated in the clouds." Daisy said.

She still doesn't know what positive and negative charges look like, and thinking about flying high enough in the future, she flies into the clouds to see.

"Is thunder also due to positive and negative charges?" Daisy thought.

Missy was lying on the side, unable to answer Daisy's question, and she didn't know why the thunder came.

"But it's just like that!" Missy said, "Just like we have to come to kindergarten when the time comes, thunder also appears when lightning comes, it's quite normal."

Her blind explanation successfully made Sheldon, who came to sit with a book in his arms, frown, as if he heard something shockingly stupid.

"Thunder is because the particles are heated." The little old man said with a straight face, "When the particles are heated to [-] degrees Celsius, there will be a shock breaker. It does not exist for no reason, Missy Cooper."

Missy snorted, not caring that she was wrong.

"But the last time my father and I were at home, it was also raining. We only saw lightning, but no thunder." Daisy said.

"Even if I stand in Reykjavik and shout your name with all my strength, you still can't hear it in New York." Sheldon said, "The same is true for thunder. If air is used as the medium to propagate, the distance is quite long , it will not be delivered.”

"Sheldon is amazing!" Daisy said.

Missy made a face and turned away.

In addition to the principle of lightning and thunder, Sheldon also knows a lot of strange knowledge.

For example, although giant pandas are carnivorous mammals, they now eat bamboo more often, because the umami receptor gene of giant pandas has a shift mutation, and they cannot smell glutamic acid in fresh meat.

Another example is that some people are face-blind and often confuse the faces of two people who are not very similar.

"Either because of damage to the superior temporal sulcus, or because of damage to the fusiform gyrus," Sheldon said.

For another example, in the [-]th century, Europeans believed that antimony, a highly toxic metal, was suitable for inducing vomiting. Patients took antimony-based medicines once and for all, not only easily relieved their symptoms, but also easily lost their lives.

If physical strength allows, Sheldon can chatter for 24 hours, often making Daisy dumbfounded.

"You know so much, Sheldon." Daisy said in admiration.

"What's the use of knowing a lot?" Little Jack passed by and was a little unconvinced when he heard Daisy praise Sheldon. "Knowing a lot, he can't become a superhero, and he won't make a lot of money overnight."

"Why do kindergarten children need to know temporal, temporal..." He couldn't pronounce such complicated proper nouns, so he muttered a few times and said, "It's useless anyway!"

"Is knowledge useless?" Daisy asked.

Missy felt that extra knowledge was useless.

"Even if I don't study, I can still live." She said while folding a butterfly with paper, "I want to be a model in the future, but if I am not beautiful and have a good figure, I can't be a model. Even if my mathematics As good as Sheldon can't be."

Sheldon said beside him: "Don't think about it, your math will never be better than mine in your life."

"Knowledge is useless, so why don't you learn it?" Daisy asked, "If you don't need it, don't you want it?"

Missy thinks so.

Daisy asked Little Jack, and Little Jack said yes.

Daisy stared at Tony all the way home.

The old father is already very experienced, knowing that every time his daughter shows such a thoughtful expression, he has experienced something unusual in the kindergarten, so he poured himself a glass of water and said lazily: "Do you have any difficulties that you need to help solve?" ?”

"It's not very difficult." Daisy shook her head.

She wanted to figure it out for herself.

I don’t know why pandas don’t eat much meat, but it doesn’t seem to have any impact on my life. Now that I know why pandas don’t eat meat, the days don’t change.

But the people around her, from Tony to Banner to Clark, all love to learn knowledge. Even Thor, who looks big and rough in Asgard, can speak many languages ​​and can speak a lot of astronomy knowledge .

If learning knowledge is not important, why do adults need to learn a lot of knowledge?

If knowledge is important, why is it important?

The four-year-old child wanted to break his head, but couldn't come up with a convincing reason, so he asked his father before getting off the car.

"Dad, why do you study knowledge?" Daisy asked.

Tony had already stretched out his hand to release the safety belt on Daisy's safety seat, and was about to take the child out of the car. Hearing Daisy's question, he thought for a while, and then sat back on the seat.

"Do you think I'm great?" Tony asked.

Daisy nodded: "Father is very powerful."

"I'm good, is it because I have enough weapons, or because my technology is advanced enough?" Tony asked.

Daisy is in a dilemma.

"It's both, and it's not." Tony said, "Weapons and technology all come from here."

He raised his finger and pointed at his brain: "This is the most powerful. If you don't learn knowledge, you won't know anything, not to mention Mark Armor, you can't even make firecrackers."

"The mystery of this world is a big mountain, and we stand at the foot of the mountain." Tony said, "The more you know, the higher you stand, and you will be able to discover the new world."

"No amount of money can buy that kind of happiness," he said.

Daisy's big eyes sparkled.

"I want to discover new worlds too, Dad," she said.

The father laughed: "The door to the new world is always open for you, Miss Stark."

The door was wide open, and it was not easy to get in.

Happy listened to what the father and daughter said.

He is not as smart as Tony. He watched from the sidelines, but he can understand the joy of a smart person who finds stars above the clouds.

"But I don't have such a noble purpose in reading." Happy said.

Daisy then wanted to ask why Happy learned knowledge.

"I want to do a better job." Happy said, "In order to do a good job as a security supervisor, I read a lot of books. There is no knowledge that is superfluous, but it is temporarily useless."

"So just study hard." Daisy said.

"Of course you have to study hard." Sophia said the same thing when she arrived in kindergarten the next day.

The teacher heard Daisy asking about the meaning of reading, and was happy to give her an answer.

"From astronomy to geography, it is the crystallization of the wisdom of the predecessors." Sophia said, "Learning knowledge is like passing a torch, from one generation to the next. Maybe because of great achievements in the middle, If you light the torch brighter, there will be times when the flame is weak, but if you keep passing it, the torch will never go out."

"When a teacher teaches knowledge, he is passing the torch to the children." Daisy said, "When children learn knowledge, they are passing the torch."

Sophia nodded: "That's it."

"Is the teacher just teaching useful knowledge?" Daisy asked.

Sophia smiled: "There is no institution in the world that can certify which knowledge is absolutely useful and which knowledge is absolutely useless."

The grown-ups have a lot of opinions, and Shelton doesn't think it's necessary to say them so seriously.

Daisy ran into the classroom and happily asked Sheldon, who was doing the questions, whether she learned a lot of knowledge to pick up the stars from the clouds or to pass the torch.

Shelton glanced at her and said, "Not yet. I want to simply satisfy my curiosity."

"Do you know Paramecium?" he asked Daisy.

Daisy didn't know.

"Paramecium is a single-celled organism with a short life span and can't think. Living is just to complete the process from birth to death. I don't know why the earth rotates, and I don't want to know. That's very meaningless."

"Without curiosity, what's the difference between a man and a paramecium?" Sheldon asked.

In this way, he knew so much, and his curiosity must be very strong.

"I have more curious questions." Sheldon said, "If the existing knowledge can't solve my doubts, I will set off to find the answers myself."

After searching in this way, I will probably be able to pick the stars on the clouds in the end.

After picking the stars and sharing them with the whole world, you can add another fire to the passing torch.

Daisy has listened to many people's answers in the past two days. Everyone's reasons are different, but they all seem to be right.

As for who is the most correct, probably no authoritative organization can judge.

After hearing Sheldon's answer now, Daisy's curiosity arose and she wanted to see what the paramecium looked like.

Missy passed by, and Daisy asked her, "Missy, do you know what a paramecium is?"

Missy fell down, her skirt was stained, and she was running to the bathroom to wipe her clothes with a wet handkerchief, when she heard Daisy's question, she shook her head while running, and replied loudly: "I don't know what a paramecium is, and I don't know what a paramecium is. Do not want to know!"

Hearing Missy's answer, Shelton reacted for two seconds, followed by shaking his head, with a sad and unfortunate expression on his face.

He told Daisy: "Look, Missy Cooper is a paramecium."
