Kawei is indeed face-blind and has never been able to identify Europeans.
The only ones that can be identified are some people that you often come into contact with, such as Bergt, Hills, Hermann and Ignatz. After getting along for a long time, you can recognize people by taking note of their clothing and facial expressions. He can barely remember people like Morazo and Laszlo, but if they are put into the crowd, there may be no way to get stuck.
Because there were only a few styles of clothes in the 19th century, women might still be able to distinguish them by skirts and jewelry, while men could only distinguish them by height and movement.
In Austria, all adult men will grow more or less beards. The beard will cover a considerable part of the face and expression. This makes Kawei sometimes have to distinguish who is standing in front of him based on his eyes and the length and shape of the beard itself. .
The person who tapped him on the shoulder was a short and thin young man, probably less than 1.7 meters tall.
He was wearing an ordinary black long coat, white shirt, high collar, and an exaggerated seal beard on his fair face, which made people look very inconsistent. It always felt like there was something missing in the whole face, and it seemed like there was too much. Something happened.
Of course, what surprised him the most was that this guy knew him but he didn't know him at the same time, just like when he met Mick when he first traveled through time.
Kawei was stunned: "You are..."
"Floun."
"Um...hello."
The other party was not hostile, he just smiled and turned around and walked into the classroom.
He didn't know the person at all, so Kawei could only treat the other person as an audience member who had been in the auditorium and deal with it for a while. Later, I sat back in my seat and thought about it carefully. Maybe it was because I had become famous after a few successful surgeries, and it was normal for me to be recognized by others.
"Welcome to the oldest university in Europe."
Standing on the stage is the director of the anatomy teaching and research office and an undergraduate anatomy teacher. Like many students, he wore a black formal suit and had some skeleton models at hand: "My name is Lange, and I will teach you anatomy in this large classroom and the anatomy exhibition hall next door for the next three years.
If there is anything you don’t understand, you are welcome to come to my teaching and research office, which is on the third floor of the office building. You can see it by going up the stairs, turning left and walking in. I usually appear in these three places during the day. "
Kawei's first anatomy lesson after traveling through time began with such a straightforward introduction.
Anatomy in the 19th century had not yet been systematically subdivided, and the course was explained one by one in the order in the "Atlas of Human Anatomy and Surgery" published in 1851. However, this book is quite difficult. It is very difficult for medical students who are new to anatomy to start teaching it directly.
Therefore, before giving formal lectures, Professor Lange took care of the feelings of these newcomers and started with the most basic history and purpose of anatomy. In the teacher's mind, once the learning objectives are clear to students, the subsequent teaching process will be much smoother.
Of course, he did not forget to evaluate this best-selling anatomy textbook throughout Europe.
“This is the result of 20 years of hard work by two outstanding French people [1].”
Although Lange did not like to see the French, he still expressed his respect with the word excellence: "From the simple illustrations at the beginning to the later compilation into the teaching world, it has proven its status in anatomy, otherwise Nor would we have changed the old books to this version a few years ago..."
Kawei was not interested in listening to this kind of thing, so he sat in the corner and flipped through the anatomy book to himself.
Judging from the layout of the entire book, it is not much different from modern anatomy. It is better to choose to start with the skeleton of the human body. 【2】
The most important thing about bones is the skull and spine that protect the central nervous system. In fact, those are the only things that can be taught. But unlike modern rigid photos and computer graphics, the illustrations here are more beautiful and more realistic.
It was also the first time for Kawei to see such an anatomical atlas. The angle of the painting and his efforts to fully present anatomy to the world are obvious.
"What a beautiful skull..."【3】
Professor Lange gave a brief introduction to today's class: "Today is a general introduction to bones. Let's learn about the spine first. Please turn to page 3 first, which shows the front and back views of the spine of adults and full-term fetuses. The spine includes the cervical vertebrae. , thoracic vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae and coccyx, of which the coccyx includes the sacrum and coccyx. The adult sacrum is formed by the fusion of five sacral vertebrae, and there are already some labels here... [4]
On the next page, this is a side view of the adult and full-term fetal spine [5]. We can usually think of the spine as a whole, but in terms of anatomy, these bones are driven by ligaments and muscles, and they can be taken apart to carefully observe their morphological and structural characteristics.
There is a knowledge point in these two pages, please remember it! "[6]
At this point, the sound of turning pages could be heard in the student seats, and notebooks were placed on the table.
The knowledge points emphasized in class are also the test points in the future. Other subjects may have a comprehensive understanding of the interweaving of logic and knowledge points, but anatomy does not. Anatomy knowledge points are things that exist objectively. From naming to surgical application, they must be memorized by rote. There are no shortcuts.
For novices who have just graduated from high school and entered university classes, all they can do is listen to the lectures and take notes.
But for Kawei, who was already familiar with human anatomy, listening carefully to the lecture was a waste of time. But the school's prescribed classes must be completed, and he must now appear in class.
Fortunately, the author of this anatomy textbook, which is comparable to any blue book, seems to have considered this problem and added a lot of surgical operation diagrams in the last 1/3 of the book. It is much more exquisite than the one hand-drawn by Ignatz himself. Not only does it contain more operations, the artist also specially colored many local anatomical locations that need to be distinguished.
Kawei turned over the pages of the book carelessly, looking for content that interested him.
"So this is what medical anatomy classes are like."
Suddenly there was a sigh from behind him. Kawei looked back and saw that the guy named Floren had been sitting behind him: "When can we see the body? It would be better if we could go directly to the stage!" "
Kawei was still surprised why he was sitting behind him, but another classmate next to Floun said: "It's not difficult to see the corpse. I heard that you can see it after the general introduction in the early stage. But if you want to If you want to start it yourself, I’m afraid you’ll have to wait until next year.”
"So long?" Flohn looked a little disappointed, "I thought I could participate in dissection as soon as I entered medical school."
"My name is Mattick."
"Floun."
"Kavi."
"...Kavi?"
"Um."
Mattick quickly dismissed the thought that just crossed his mind and said with a smile: "Haha, there are so many people with the same name."
After the three briefly told their names, they continued to discuss the difficulty of the anatomy course.
Kawei said it very lightly: "It's just something that needs to be remembered. Just remember it."
Frohn also spoke very relaxedly, but this relaxedness seemed to be mixed with some cynical and complicated emotions: "So why does someone have to teach something that is just good to memorize? Isn't it good to just start operating it?" Are there so many surgeons out there who have become successful by listening to lectures?”
"Oh, that's how medicine is. Don't think about whether these things are available or not. Just take notes quickly."
Mattick held a pen in his hand like everyone else, immersed in recording what Professor Lange said: "Anatomy has always been the subject with the highest failure rate in medical schools. 'You can't defeat anatomy even if you defeat philosophy' is a famous saying here. Because there is still a chance to study philosophy, but if you fail here, you will definitely be asked to delay your graduation."
This is very serious. Delaying the completion of undergraduate degree means that the possibility of continuing to study for a master's degree at this school becomes extremely slim.
It would be very disgraceful to transfer from the Vienna Medical School to any other university in the empire, and your resume after graduation would be looked down upon. It was simply a stain on your life.
But Kawei just nodded and continued to turn over his own things in his hands.
His confidence stems from the knowledge that already exists in his mind. He will definitely pass the exam and there is no need to attend lectures. However, Froen behind him is so confident that there is no reason for it. He just lay on the table, and the anatomy class that started less than 15 minutes became a lullaby in his ears, making him yawn repeatedly.
Finally, Flohn's attention completely stopped, his eyelids dropped unconsciously, and he could only look for interesting things to cheer himself up: "What are you looking at?"
It was familiar once and twice, and Kawei didn't notice it either: "This book is quite interesting, I'll just flip through it and read it."
"By the way, why don't you take notes like him?" Froen felt strange and asked in a low voice, "I think they are all taking notes. Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to graduate?"
"You didn't remember it either."
"Oh, I don't want to write. It's too boring. I just want to operate a knife." Flohn was very disappointed with the long-awaited medical class. "Listening to the class is so boring. When will I be able to cut people..."
Before class, Kawei only thought that he was the child of some noble or wealthy businessman. He was an ordinary medical student who was full of ambitions to save the common people after graduating from middle school. But now it seems that he is actually a guy who has a three-minute passion and regards studying medicine as a hobby.
He wanted to learn anatomy wholeheartedly; he had no reason to know himself; he was lazy and willful and undisciplined in class; coupled with the faint fragrance that kept coming from behind and the somewhat similar face shape, Kawei basically guessed this "Floun" 's true identity.
"Hurry up and listen to the class carefully. Don't waste the money your dad spent."
Floren was stunned: "Huh? Kawei, do you recognize me?"
Mattik knocked on the table lightly: "Can you two speak softly? I can't hear you!"
On the first day of school, if you don't listen carefully to the lectures and sit in the corner talking to each other, it seems that you are jumping in front of Professor Lange's gun and rushing to kill him to scare other monkeys. The sound of voices really affected Langer's teaching rhythm, and the teaching stick landed heavily on the podium: "What are you three doing?"
"..."
"Are you here to play?"
Langer raised his hand and almost knocked the bone model on the podium with a stick: "This is the first day of school, and the most important anatomy class is being taught. How many senior students did not forget to run when they were about to take the final exam? I’m making up anatomy classes for lower grades, but I really don’t know the failure rate of anatomy classes every year?”
The three of them did not dare to talk nonsense, and finally stopped after being scolded...
...for a while.
It is impossible to calm down where Naya is!
What happened was just as Kawei expected. In order to make her wish come true, the aunt's father invested a large amount of money in the medical school, just to get the opportunity to be an auditor. If the other party was a boy, the school might open the door after spending two to three hundred thousand, but now that it was a girl, the school was a little more reserved.
"What? 1.2 million???" This time it was Kawei's turn to be surprised, "Just for you to come here and cause trouble?"
"What? Not convinced?"
"I'm convinced! I'm convinced!" Kawei deeply understood the essence of "money can make all the difference", "No wonder he said he didn't have much liquidity in his hand before I wanted to open a pharmaceutical factory, so he spent all his money here."
"What are you talking about?" Mattik finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "What pharmaceutical company?"
"It's nothing, it's just that his father wants to open a pharmaceutical factory."
"Why should we open a pharmaceutical factory? Shouldn't we open more steel plants these days?" Mattik began to brag about his father, "Iron mines + steel plants are so profitable. My father bought a manor last year. It’s going to be a place for me to live in after I graduate.”
Naya has no interest in this kind of thing: "The pharmaceutical factory is really not that good. It is not as important as my schooling."
"Yes, everything you said is right..."
Kawei smiled bitterly and flattered him, but the fist in his hand was already hard.
Also hard-fisted was Professor Lange, who was teaching skull structure [7] in the audience. Ever since he knocked on the podium just now, he had paid special attention to the three naughty guys. It's just that in middle school, this kind of desertion from class was still polite, but when it came to medical school, it was full of nobles with titles, and no one would tolerate them at all.
"The third row from the bottom..." Langer pointed to Mattick, "You, get up and answer the question."
It’s over!
answer the questions? what is the problem? ? ?
Mattick's mind was led astray by the two of them, and now his mind went blank.
"What's the problem you don't know?"
Mattick shook his head helplessly.
"Then let me ask the person behind you." Langer continued to call, "Yes, it's you. Stop lying on the table and get up quickly to answer the questions!!!"
Naya stood up abruptly, not wanting to give the professor face at all, but chose to show off: "I don't know!"
"...Okay, I don't know, that's awesome!" Lange suppressed the anger in his chest and continued to name names. Naturally, this time he named Kawei among the three. "You, the one who has been flipping through the book, Get up and answer my questions."
Kawei stood up slowly, looked at Lange who was about to explode with anger in front of the stage, and said: "If I remember correctly, the teacher has been giving a lecture just now and didn't ask any questions."
