Although it was supposed to be an exchange, it was mainly the doctors of Diónia speaking. The first day was a discussion of medical theories. Not only had he never heard of all kinds of novel medical terms from the mouths of the young doctors of Diónia, but the unique medical theories and discoveries that he had never heard of had completely subverted his previous knowledge and experience. However, he was lost in thought, as if a window had been opened for him, allowing him to see a new and broader medical world. How could he not be excited?
Nicestratus did not have much dinner. He spent the whole night thinking about the knowledge he had heard during the day. At this time, he only hated that his memory was so poor that he could not remember everything. As he lay in bed, he recalled what he had heard during the day, so he did not sleep well the whole night. But early the next morning, he pulled himself together and rushed to the medical school with Stasypus.
When they arrived at the gate of the Diónia Academy, hundreds of doctors were already waiting there. Of course, they were not waiting for the two doctors of Crotone, but for the arrival of the Consul Devers of Diónia.
At this time, Nicestratus was not as extreme as he was before he came to Turií. Through the previous day's study and the conversation with other doctors, he deeply understood the high status of the Devers among the doctors of Diónia. Even the foreign doctors who had heard his speech talked about him with respect. This made Nicestratus curious about the Devers, and he waited quietly like the other doctors.
It did not take long for the Devers to arrive, accompanied by the dean of the medical school, Helpes, and a dozen guards.
The doctors were in an uproar and wanted to greet them.
The guards immediately wanted to stop them, but they were told to back off by the Devers. He smiled and took the initiative to greet them. Stasycosodas also immediately asked the doctors to consciously observe the order.
The Devers knew most of the foreign doctors who had participated in the forum last year, and they were happy to talk to them. The newcomers were introduced by Helpes and Stasycosodas respectively. The Devers smiled and welcomed their arrival.
"Clausus, I remember you're a famous doctor from Metapontum. What kind of wonderful speech did you bring this time?" Devers said to the doctor in front of him with a smile.
"Lord Devers, please don't joke around. I don't dare to call myself a famous doctor in front of you!" Clausus said humbly.
"In this sacred place, there are no adults. There are only doctors who save lives and medical scholars." Devers smiled and corrected him. "Just call me Devers."
"Dai … Devers." Clausus bowed respectfully and said, "Corio Pampas of Tarantum was unable to participate in this forum for some reason. He asked me to apologize on his behalf and to express his regret for not being able to hear your wonderful speech."
The Devers's expression became a little helpless. He sighed and said, "Although there have been some small misunderstandings and conflicts between Diónia and Tarantum in the past two years, this should not be an obstacle to academic exchanges …"
After Tarantum and Mesapi reached a peace agreement, their strength gradually recovered. They began to feel annoyed with Heraclea and Metapontum for leaving the Tarantum Alliance. Of course, they also hated Diónia who had once rescued them. However, now the powerful Diónia Alliance could only make them swallow their anger. The radical representative Diomiras, who was once ambushed by the Mesapi Alliance and almost wiped out because of his rash advance, was originally criticized by the Citizen's Assembly and was almost expelled from the city. He originally had no future in the political arena. However, in the past two years, he slyly followed the voice of the people and publicly attacked Diónia many times. He condemned the council for being too soft on Diónia. He regained the support of the frustrated people and was re-elected as Consul at the end of last autumn.
As a result, the small frictions between Tarantum and Diónia began to become more frequent. The people of Tarantum entered the territory of Metapontum many times for no reason. When the fishing boats of Tarantum and Diónia met at sea, there were from time to time quarrels and fights. The goods stacked by the merchant ships of Diónia in the port of Tarantum were often lost and occasionally seized … and so on. Diónia's diplomatic envoys went to Tarantum many times to protest and negotiate. They once joked that the time they spent traveling to foreign countries in their lifetime was less than the time they spent in Tarantum.
But in general, both sides still maintained restraint. After all, they were still allies. Tarantum still faced the pressure of Mesapi and Puchetti and still needed the support of Diónia. It was just that the newly elected general played some tricks to vent the people's depression and respond to the people's expectations of him. As for Diónia, out of guilt for poaching Heraclea and Metapontum, they turned a blind eye and tried their best to keep the peace.
Devers sighed in his heart. After greeting the doctors, everyone crowded around him and entered the door.
After walking for a while, a man rushed out in front of him. Martius was shocked and was about to rush forward to stop him.
He heard the man shout excitedly, "Devers, it's done! We've done it! We've completed the design of the stone bridge model of the Saraceno River! After testing, there are no problems! … "
It turned out to be Martius Morris. Martius slowed down his pace, but this also reminded him. He immediately ordered the guards to patrol around and stop any rash trespassers.
At this time, Devers also had a look of joy on his face. "This is great! Give the stone bridge model and data to little Heracrid. When I'm done here, I'll go see your great results! "
"There's another piece of good news! We've designed a new pulley set that allows the arm to lift heavy objects to rotate 360 degrees on the spot. You must come and take a look and give us some suggestions for improvement, "Martius Morris continued.
Devers was even more happy and immediately made a promise.
Martius Morris was no longer as ignorant as he was when he first arrived in Amendola. While doing research in the Faculty of Mathematics, he also took on some management tasks. He gave a few reminders and then hurried away.
"Who's that?" Nycstratus was curious about the tone of the person who came and talked to Devers.
"Martius Morris, the deputy dean of the Faculty of Mathematics, a crazy mathematical genius!" a doctor from Diónia said.
"Diónia is finally starting to build the stone bridge. This is great!" A doctor from Heraclea said happily. There were many rivers in Heraclea. During the rainy season, the rivers would surge and almost become a swamp. Although they had asked Diónia to help them build a few wooden bridges, most of the bridges were submerged in the water during the rainy season. The people of Heraclea were worried about the durability of the wooden bridges, which had been soaked in the river for a long time. With the stone bridge, they were much more at ease.
Nycstratus contacted the deputy dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and asked the young consul for advice. Nycstratus, who had a good impression of the Devers just now, looked forward to his speech even more.
… …
Devers stood on the podium, and below them were the doctors sitting upright.
Under their expectant gazes, Devers cleared his throat and said unhurriedly, "Since we've already greeted each other at the school gate, I won't do the same thing here."
The doctors chuckled. Every doctor on the podium had to introduce themselves and greet their peers. This had gradually become a practice in medical forums.
Devers smiled, stretched out his right hand, and clenched it into a fist in the air. "What do you think I'm holding in my hand?"
Nothing at all! This was the thought that immediately came to some people's minds.
Before they could answer, Devers said, "Air, it's the ubiquitous air. That's the name I gave it. Although it looks like nothing at all, every human and every animal can't live without it. If you don't believe me, you can cover your mouth and nose with a piece of linen to isolate yourself from the air. Soon, you'll suffocate to death.
Everyone knows this very well, but why is the seemingly empty air so important to us? What's its relationship with our human bodies? Today, I'll talk about this issue. I hope it can make you think. "
As soon as Devers finished speaking, the doctors widened their eyes and pricked up their ears. Even Helps and Stesicordas, who were sitting in the front row, leaned forward with excitement on their faces.
"For air to be in contact with the human body, it must first enter the human body. The entrance, everyone knows very well, is our mouth and nose. Where's the exit? "Devers glanced at everyone." Some people will say it's the vagina because there's fart. "
There was another burst of laughter below.
"Of course not. It can even be said that the air that enters our mouths has little to do with the fart that comes out." As Devers spoke, he turned sideways to face a wooden mannequin that was the same size as a human. "Thanks to the doctors of the medical school for their unremitting research on human anatomy, and the exquisite skills of the Turís craftsmen, we've created the most realistic and exquisite model of the human body in the world. Next, I'll use this model to talk to everyone."
