Chapter 143: Catch the Ducks on the Shelf (1000, 1100 Orders and Updates!) )
(This is a big chapter plus more, and I'm asking for a recommended ticket and a monthly pass for a new week!) )
So many teachers and students from Tsinghua University, off-campus scientists, reporters and guests have already begun to enter the venue one after another, but now that the keynote speaker, Professor Zhai Zhilin, is hospitalized, how to deal with so many people?
Usually there is an emergency record, but now the organizers are panicking, there are indeed some scientists on the scene, but they have not made any preparations at all, where can they go on stage to speak. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lin Han looked at the gradually moving team, and he said to Li Wenyuan: "The audience is still being allowed in, are you planning to cancel the speech?" ”
"The organizers must be prepared, Tsinghua is such a big bull, you can talk for hours if you pull one over, but we just need to worry about whether we can understand it."
Li Wenyuan was very big-hearted, he didn't think too much about it at all, he just enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the Tsinghua campus.
The Tsinghua Auditorium in front of you looks completely Byzantine-style architecture in ancient Rome, with a large dome and a huge triangular lintel around it, and the cross-shaped break and the copper-faced dome at the highest point interplay it.
The rich and delicate relief of the large bronze is inlaid in the white marble, and the white porch contrasts sharply with the red brick wall, adding a little liveliness to the simplicity and dignity.
Lin Han looked at the ticket in his hand, Seat 7 in row 14 should still be quite high, and he should be surrounded by his peers.
The speech was packed to the brim, with nearly a thousand seats filled to capacity, and if the aisles were allowed to sit down, many more people would have been invited in.
The event was hosted by Tsinghua University, Yenching University, Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Lin Han sat in his seat, he felt that his mentality was much younger, so many students were chattering about what to do now, if he left, he was too unwilling.
"Did you see it, there are two academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the three rows in front of us, and a foreigner, this seems to be a study of astronomy and physics, and some of the theories we usually use are put forward by these people."
Li Wenyuan introduced the people he knew to Lin Han in a low voice, but many people could only see the back of their heads, and they didn't know who was hidden here, maybe it was a big bull.
……
Chen Jianghua hung up the phone speechlessly, and he shrugged his shoulders at the people in charge around him: "I tried my best, but I really couldn't find a suitable candidate." The low-dimensional quantum physics laboratory said that it was manipulating large-scale experimental equipment and couldn't leave, and several professors from the astrophysics center went out to communicate, and a few professors simply didn't answer the phone. ”
"Director Chen, what now? Journalists, guests and audiences are already in place, who are we looking for to make a presentation? Zhang Yi, a somewhat bald middle-aged man, said anxiously.
Don't look at Tsinghua University's abundance of talents, there are really a lot of big bulls and calves, and there are more than 100 scientific research institutions in national laboratories or something, but when you really want to find someone to speak, you find that you can't move others.
Seeing that the scheduled time for the lecture is approaching, even if you ask the president or other school leaders to invite them in person, you may not necessarily invite those scientists to come.
At this time, Chen Jianghua exhaled and said in a low voice: "I remember that there were two academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences at the scene, right?" Hopefully they can save the emergency, everything is counting on these people. ”
So the people in charge of this group of activities rushed into the audience, and then quietly invited the two academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to the backstage office.
"Professor Zhou, Professor Dong, the situation is very urgent now, so I'll make a long story short. Due to Professor Zhai Zhilin's illness and hospitalization, we now have to change the theme of our speech. If you have a suitable topic for your speech, can you help deal with this accident? ”
Chen Jianghua looked at the two academicians in their fifties in front of him with great expectation, and pinned all his hopes on them.
However, Zhou Jundong and Dong Yahui shook their heads helplessly, "Director Chen, we are not prepared at all, and we don't know what to say at all." If there are no rules and regulations at all, then the speech is a mere formality. ”
"There are so many people at Tsinghua University, if we delay it for half an hour, can we find the rest?"
"Actually, we have contacted many of our laboratories before, but most of the people in charge are busy doing their own things, and it is almost impossible to come to the site." Chen Jianghua was at a loss, and a good speech was about to turn into an accident.
In fact, these academicians cherish their feathers quite much, and it is impossible for them to rashly give a speech on stage without preparation, especially if there are foreign guests and the media, in case they do not speak well, they will smash their own photos.
It's okay for ordinary people to not hear it, but it can fall into the ears of professionals, which is more troublesome.
Dong Yahui looked at Chen Jianghua's anxious appearance, and couldn't help but suggest: "If you want to find a speaker who can talk, I saw that the Popular Science Writers Association also sent people over when I entered the venue before, and they will definitely not repeat their speeches on stage." ”
In fact, the Chinese Association of Popular Science Writers and the Chinese Academy of Sciences have cooperated, and have held symposiums between scientists and science fiction writers in the past, and last year they also jointly held an event called "Science Fiction Writers Approach Scientists and Walk into Top Physics Laboratories" to conduct a dialogue between science and fantasy.
"Lao Dong, are you sure to let that group of so-called science fiction writers who don't know anything go up to give a speech? I think it must be a complete disaster, that group of people don't understand anything, it's all imagination, and they will probably be coaxed down by the students. ”
The relationship between scientists and science fiction writers is very complicated, Qian Xuesen once criticized whether science fiction is a popular science novel or a literary novel, and publicly published his own proposition in the "People's Daily", so that science fiction should be under the control of science, and assume the obligation of science popularization, and even felt that science fiction is spiritual pollution.
There are many scientific loopholes in the creation of science fiction, and these loopholes are mistakes that cannot be ignored in the eyes of rigorous scientists, so it is necessary to seize the opportunity to be sour.
Chen Jianghua didn't think too much about it, this is equivalent to his lifesaver, even if he knows that it is unreliable, but he has to do it, in case he meets a reliable member of the Science Writers Association!
So when he appeared in the audience again, Lin Han and Li Wenyuan and other ten people were summoned.
Lin Han, who was deliberately two steps behind, asked in a low voice: "What is the situation, I used to listen to the speech and have to be received alone?" ”
"I don't know, it depends." Li Wenyuan shook his head and followed the person in front of him into the conference room.
The ten members of the Popular Science Writers Association are all confused, what kind of fame is this?
Fortunately, Chen Jianghua didn't make any fools, he said directly: "I specially invited everyone to the backstage today because I want to ask you for help." I know that all of you here are great writers, with first-class writing and thoughtful thinking, and now I would like to ask you to come to the stage to help me make this speech, as long as the topic is related to science, we don't ask too much. ”
As soon as the words fell, Lin Han, Li Wenyuan, Teng Haiyun and others' faces changed, this is not a literary exchange meeting, but a real scientific lecture, and they came to the stage to give speeches, which completely lowered the grade.
Although it is a bit too much to say this, it is indeed a fact, and it is probably a complete laughing stock for them, members of the Science Writers Association, to give speeches to Nobel Prize winners, academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, teachers and doctoral students of various physics and astronomy, or something.
Zhao Zhuowei couldn't help but speak: "Director Chen, your idea is too crazy, instead of letting us give a speech, it is better to cancel this event directly, so as not to embarrass you Tsinghua." ”
"Yes, it's better to lack than to abuse, where can we come to power with this little catty, isn't this ridiculous and generous!"
"It's okay for us to listen to the speech, but it's far worse to make a speech."
These people in the Popular Science Writers Association have all retreated, who wouldn't be able to protect their lives, this proposal is simply a madman to come up with, who would think of letting science fiction writers give lectures to scientists, future scientists?
Although science fiction writers only occupy a very small part of the Science Writers Association, many of these people on the scene are not science fiction writers, so they are more aware of the gap between themselves and top scientists.
Lin Han tried to reduce his sense of existence at this time, he didn't say a word and pretended to be silent, but his heart began to flash barrage crazily.
However, someone specifically responded to him, and Zhou Qi suddenly said: "Suddenly remembered, isn't there a science fiction writer on our side who claims to be the hardest science fiction writer in history?" Lin Han, the novel you wrote has also been praised by those engineers of the China Space Agency, and you should be very scientific. ”
Whoosh, Lin Han was stabbed in the back with a few arrows!
He hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I'm all petty fights, it's hard to get into the hall of elegance, and besides, I really don't understand that, it's all about checking information." ”
"Speaking of this, I also remembered. Didn't Kobayashi's "I, Robot" also be praised by the Stanford Robotics Research Center, and these scientists all said that you wrote it correctly! ”
Chen Jianghua looked at the young Lin Han, and he was a little hesitant in his heart, he didn't have a hair on his mouth and couldn't do things firmly, even if he went up to talk nonsense, he had to find someone who really looked like a scientist!
Li Wenyuan didn't know what these people thought, at this time, he should refuse in a group, instead of pushing someone out, he opened his mouth and said: "Director Chen, this speech is too important, we people go up to smash the signboard of Tsinghua University, I think you think about it again, maybe there is another solution!" ”
may be a little dissatisfied with Lin Han's special recruitment into the Science Writers Association, Teng Haiyun also wants this young man to try the ups and downs of life, "Hasn't Xiaolin been reported by CCTV?" He said that the science fiction he wrote was detailed, a love letter to science. I think Xiaolin can give it a try, young people have to try, and they can't give up easily. ”
If it is said that eyes can kill, now that Lin Han has killed this group of gloating guys with his eyes, he actually made a black hand at this time, clearly wanting to see himself make a fool of himself.
"Xiaolin, I believe in your ability, there are still five minutes to think, can you go up?"
Lin Han is not a soft persimmon, he shook his head firmly, "I am a liberal arts graduate, I used to study at the Yenching Drama Academy, and I have only been in contact with science fiction for two or three years. However, Brother Teng is a benchmark among popular science writers, and his experience for so many years is not comparable to me. ”
Just kidding, now I want to make a fool of myself with a word, how can there be such a cheap thing, he is already past the age of enthusiasm and excitement.
Chen Jianghua still didn't understand what Lin Han meant, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Then what conditions do you need to be willing to go on stage to give a speech?" As long as it's within my purview, I'll help you achieve it. ”
That's right, at least there must be an exchange of interests, Lin Han said briskly: "Next, I want to visit some laboratories of Tsinghua University, don't worry, I'm just curious about the current science and technology to prepare for the novel." ”
"As long as it doesn't involve state-organ-secrets, I can promise you. Help you open a letter of introduction, but you can only read it, and you can't do anything else. ”
"No problem, I agreed, are you ready to play now?" Lin Han has always wanted to go to these laboratories to see for himself, but there is no way out, and now the opportunity is in front of him.
Li Wenyuan, who was on the side, was in a hurry and grabbed his arm directly, "Are you crazy?" It's not a petty fight, you're going to kill yourself! ”
The difference between a real friend and a villain is here, when others sneak attack, Li Wenyuan is really worried about whether he can do this speech.
"There's no time to talk about that, now it's almost time, hurry to the edge of the stage and get ready. The clothes and image are okay, as for the speech time, I will try my best to support it for 2 hours! ”
Chen Jianghua couldn't help but drag Lin Han to the backstage, where he could already hear the noisy discussion in the audience outside.
Lin Han, who was chasing the ducks on the shelves, couldn't help but take two deep breaths, and then made an OK gesture to Li Wenyuan, "Don't worry, I know it in my heart, you go back to the audience." ”
The wood is already in the boat, Li Wenyuan has nothing else to say, and thousands of words converge into a sentence "Come on!" ”
Lin Han's confidence comes from the memory of his previous life, he has made a lot of speeches in his previous life, and he has also seen some video resources of speeches on the Internet, such as Stephen Hawking's series of speeches.
It's just that he is now constantly pondering which speech he should carry over, Hawking's theory is too profound, I'm afraid no one will believe it if he says it.
How can a drama school graduate study such profound black hole radiation or the quantum universe? From the Big Bang to black holes, this is clearly not the level of science he should have. (To be continued.) )
