Into Unscientific

  Chapter 30 Grantham

   As an absolutely devout believer, Maverick never changed his belief until his death. If there is a numerical value for loyalty, then he must be 100%.

  So even though he was concerned at this time, the Mavericks did not choose to leave halfway home to calculate the problems left by Hooker, but planned to continue to Grantham to attend the party.

  So ever since.

  After Hook's carriage gradually moved away, the group packed their bags again and set off again.

   Three hours later.

  The eight people who rested twice in the middle finally arrived outside the entrance of a town.

   This is a small town surrounded by a city wall. The height of the city wall is about four meters, and there is a stone tablet at the entrance.

   There is an English line engraved on the stele, which translates to Grantham.

  Xu Yun came to this town once during the two years when he went to the UK as an exchange student and stayed for three and a half days.

  After all, this is Mavericks’ hometown. In a sense, it can be regarded as a ‘sacred place’ in the physics world. Most of the physics practitioners who have the opportunity to come to London will come to check in.

   At that time, Xu Yun, who was cash-strapped, lived in a hotel named Ramada, which was located just near the entrance of Grantham City Wall, and the gate could be seen on the right hand side as soon as he entered the town.

  The hotel is listed as a four-star hotel, but the room rate only costs more than 290 Huaxia dollars after tax, which can be regarded as quite low.

   However, the sound insulation of the hotel is a bit bad, and some applause can be heard in the middle of the night.

  At that time, the hotel owner still patted his chest and told Xu Yun that their hotel has a history of more than 400 years, but it has been renovated several times in the middle, so it doesn't look old.

  At that time, there was still a 400-year-old sign certified by the John Bull government on the wall, so Xu Yun foolishly believed this, and even paid three euros to take a photo with the sign.

   But when he came to Grantham, he really wanted to spit on the boss's bald head, which was as thick as a programmer's hair:

  The hotel has a history of 400 years. The place where the hotel is located in this era is obviously a fruit stand now!

   Sure enough, you can’t believe anything when you travel these days. Some people even question the local history. (Note 1)

  In addition to the hotel being replaced by a fruit stand, the architectural status of the entire town of Grantham is also very different from later generations:

  Although the later generations of Grantham still maintain the classical decoration, both the buildings and the streets are very clean, somewhat similar to the former residences of local celebrities, and the main focus is the atmosphere of the times.

   But right now

  The visible parts of the town are almost all two-story and three-story brick houses without any architectural style at all. The exterior is damaged and blackened, and the shade is covered with moss.

  Xu Yun glanced at it casually, and he could see a few lumps of dirt that could be mosaiced in the corner of the roadside.

   Although the main road of the small town is relatively clean, it is paved with stones to a seven or eight meter wide street, and there are some pedestrians and vehicles constantly passing through it.

   But if you look closely, you will find an inexplicable, faintly yellow slime sticking to the cracks or edges of some stones.

   From the flies that fly over it from time to time, it is not difficult to see that the composition of these mucus is probably not a good thing.

  But Xu Yun was a little surprised when he first saw it. There were many skinny poor people in ragged clothes in the town, as if they didn't notice it, they just sat or even lay in the filth.

   Their eyes are numb, allowing flies, mice, and cockroaches to run around and even on their bodies.

   Seeing this, Xu Yun sighed slightly.

  Whether it is the early colonial period or the future industrial revolution era, the people at the bottom of the British Peninsula are not having a good time.

  Some people may get rich by luck, but more have become the denominator of certain scores. With tears and hatred, they turned into a black cloud over London, which cannot rest in peace.

   Then under the guidance of William and his wife, a group of people began to go straight to the southwest.

  Grantham is not a big area, and it only took more than ten minutes before and after everyone came to the tallest building in Grantham except for the bell tower, which was St. Tidodia Church.

  The church of St. Tidodia is about 12 to 3 meters high. It is a square shape as a whole. The pillars are in groups of three. The width of the bays varies greatly.

  Noble and solemn, majestic and oppressive.

   Obviously, this is a standard Balotte style building - the early churches in Europe were in Romanesque style, and later developed into Gothic style. At this point in time, Balotte style decoration has become popular.

  But wait until the 18th century, the architectural style will come again:

  At that time, the Gothic style will sit up in shock and talk and laugh for hundreds of years, even affecting the local architectural design field.

  At the door of the church stood a kind-faced pastor, about sixty years old, with plain but high-quality clothes, and shiny hair.

  The pastor will embrace everyone warmly when he sees them, and he will not dislike the body odor or dirt on the other person at all.

  Perhaps because the town has one and only such a gathering place, there is already a long queue at the door of the church at this time, and people are constantly coming from all directions to fill the vacancy at the end of the queue.

  Xu Yun and his team lined up for about ten minutes, and finally came to the pastor.

  William’s family is obviously old believers in this church. The moment he saw them, the pastor said William’s name without hesitation:

   "Hallelujah! Mr. Escuh! It's a pleasure to meet you, may you be anointed with God's anointing, and may your family be blessed!"

   "Hallelujah! Pastor Yarlin! Thank you God for your guidance!"

  William hugged each other generously, followed by Mrs. William, Lisa, Lilani and others

  When Mavericks stepped forward, Pastor Yarlin became more enthusiastic. After all, this was the only student who could make Trinity Seminary accept a fee-reduced student for more than ten years:

   "Little Isaac! Praise God, your coming will please my Lord! May God guard your heart more than anything else, because the fruit of a lifetime comes from the heart."

   Facing Pastor Yarlin’s approval, Mavericks rarely showed humility and respect, an expression you would never expect to see in life:

   "Hallelujah! Mr. Yarlin."

  Yarlin patted him on the shoulder heavily, and then set his sights on Xu Yun:

   "Oh, who is my Lord?"

   Mavericks gave Xu Yun a forward look, and introduced:

   "Mr. Yarlin, this is my friend from the East. His name is Donkey Fat Fish. Today he comes with us to worship and serve."

  Xu Yun stepped forward upon hearing the words, and nodded with Yaerlin:

   "Hello, Mr. Yarlin."

  Yarlin looked at him seriously, and said:

   "Welcome, child, and may God bless you."

Note:

  In the group chatting with others about the revision of the work, I suddenly remembered that the original title of this book was going to be called "Empire of Science and Technology Begins with Elimination of Cockroaches", but it was rejected by many people. Do you really think it's ugly?

   Leave 1 here for the ugly ones.

   It’s okay to leave 2 here.

  Let me see if my name is really that bad

Note:

   I didn’t go to Heiha on purpose for the Ramada Hotel. I did stay in this hotel. The cost of the hotel was revealed by someone after the shareholders broke up.
