Speaking of this, Shubinsky suddenly paused, as if he remembered something: "My goodness! I almost forgot, you, like Humboldt, are also a researcher in Natural Philosophy. Then perhaps I can understand why you want to traverse the whole Siberia!"
"Mr. Humboldt? The president of the Berlin Academy of Sciences?" Arthur had a good impression of this gentleman who had cheered for the University of Gottingen at the Pan-European Electromagnetic Conference: "Did he do any significant work in Russia?"
Shubinsky felt that this was not particularly valuable information, and in Russia it was almost common knowledge, so he didn't conceal it from Arthur: "You should know that Mr. Humboldt, in his youth, once ventured deep into the tropical rainforests of South America, conducting a scientific expedition there for five years, right?"
