Volume 1: A sound on Wall Street, Xinxiang City is busy copying books Chapter 167 Mr. Sai
Subtitle of this chapter: Traditional Chinese Medicine, it’s very scientific!
Hearing the great inventor say that he was in poor health, Mr. Baker sighed and said, "Thomas, we are all old..."
George Baker, who was born in 1840, is now 80 years old, while Thomas Edison, who was born in 1847, is only seven years younger and is now 73 years old. In the era before the advent of antibiotics, these two were definitely considered to have lived a long life.
But at this age, their physical functions must have declined. Especially for a workaholic like Edison, he had even more chronic diseases.
At this time, Theodore Edison looked at our Master Yuan curiously and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Yuan, I saw in the newspaper that you had sepsis, and your injuries were very serious in those photos. But today it looks like you have never been sick at all..."
"Excuse me, did the newspapers exaggerate your illness?"
Nonsense, I have a physique of 18 points. Let alone sepsis, I won’t get leukemia even if I go to Fukushima.
Of course Yuan Yanshu couldn't say that. Even if she said it, people wouldn't understand, and there was no Dungeons & Dragons in those days.
Before he could speak, Mr. Baker answered for him: "Theodore, those newspapers are not exaggerating. Neo really has sepsis, and I saw those wounds with my own eyes. The situation was really bad at the time."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Edison became even more excited and asked loudly, "So, the sepsis and wound ulceration are real? Then why did Mr. Yuan recover so quickly? By the way, I saw that it was you, Mr. Yuan, who ignored the doctor's objection and insisted on taking the medicinal wine made by you Chinese..."
"Are those medicinal liquors really so magical?!"
But the little fellow added bluntly, "Mr. Yuan, is this witchcraft of you Chinese?"
As soon as he said these words, even the two big guys focused their attention on the Seris people present.
Yes, if what the newspaper said was true, the medicinal wine that Yuan Yanshu took was indeed very magical. It could not only cure sepsis, which is now considered an incurable disease in the medical community, but also heal the festering wounds within just two weeks.
This really can't be explained by medicine. It would be more appropriate to call it witchcraft... or magic.
Okay, I can’t use that one for now, so I’ll try another one.
Our Master Yuan took a sip of his vodka martini slowly and smiled at the four people.
How can you really convince others? To convince others, you must not follow their ideas, but let them follow your ideas.
So he did not answer Mr. Edison Jr.'s question, but turned to Mr. Edison Sr. and said respectfully: "Mr. Edison, you are a world-renowned inventor and scientist. I wonder if I have the honor to ask you a few questions?"
The great inventor had no idea what this Chinese man was up to, but for Mr. Baker's sake he still said politely, "Mr. Yuan, please ask."
Master Yuan nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Edison. First of all, I would like to ask you..."
"What is SCIENCE?"
"What is science?" Mr. Edison pondered for a moment and said, "In my opinion, science is experimentation! A large number of experiments on theoretical hypotheses, until the experimental data proves or disproves whether those theories are the laws used by God when he created the world."
He was worthy of being the man who worked tirelessly to conduct more than 1,600 experiments on heat-resistant materials and 600 kinds of plant fibers before he created the first carbon filament light bulb.
Yuan Yan immediately flattered him: "Mr. Edison, just like when you invented the light bulb?"
But the old man had probably been flattered too much, so he smiled faintly and said, "Haha, that's about right."
Master Yuan, who failed to flatter, was not discouraged and asked the second question: "So, Mr. Edison, no matter how weird or unreasonable this theory seems, as long as the experimental data can prove it, it is a law used by God when he created the world?"
The great inventor thought about it, nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes, Mr. Yuan."
Yuan Yan suddenly looked at the other three and asked the last question: "Mr. Edison, what if I tell you that a theory appeared in 3,000 BC. And this theory has been experimented by countless people in the 5,000 years until today, and countless experimental results have been obtained. Although some experimental results deviate from this theory, the vast majority of the results confirm this theory, then..."
"Can this theory be called 'the laws used by God in creating the world'?"
At this point, everyone present is smart and naturally understands what this Chinese man is talking about. He is talking about the Chinese herbal medicine theory.
Thomas Edison frowned and thought for a long time before he slowly said, "Mr. Yuan, as a scientist, I cannot judge a theory that I don't know and haven't experimented with..."
"At the same time, as a gentleman, I cannot question your claim of 5,000 years of history..."
"But what evidence do you have to prove that 'most of the results of your Chinese herbal medicine confirm this theory'?"
"Of course I have evidence!" Our Master Yuan suddenly raised his voice.
Now even old Mr. Baker was very curious and asked, "Oh, what kind of evidence?"
Yuan Yan took another sip of wine and uttered two words: "Population!"
"population?"
The four people present couldn't help but look at each other and found that they all had puzzled expressions on their faces.
This time, our Master Yuan did not give them time to think. He spoke rapidly:
"Gentlemen, do you know how many human beings there are in the world?"
"Two billion!"
"So what is the population of us Chinese?"
"Four hundred million. That means one in every five people on earth is Chinese !"
“And how big is China ?”
"It's about the same as Russia, about the same as the whole of Europe, about the same as you in America..."
“So what do these data mean?”
Yuan Yan turned around and asked Mr. Baker aggressively: "Louis, do you know?"
The latter was intimidated by his momentum and stammered, "N-N-Nio, I don't understand..."
Our Master Yuan suddenly smiled and said calmly but confidently: "Gentlemen, this means that the achievements of Chinese people in medicine are unparalleled in the world!"
