In fact, Professor Maher's influence is not over, after Joy announced that the Crown Princess Victoria Fund would fund any philosophical research on Professor Maher, Joy continued to announce the funding goals of the Princess Victoria Fund.

"To this day, the United States still advertises in German newspapers that the United States welcomes any immigrant from Germany to the United States, especially poor workers and farmers in Germany and even in Europe. The Americans claim that they have enough food to feed all the poor in Europe. There are some people, I don't want to name names, who openly claim that the United States is solving the problem of poverty for Germany and even in Europe. ”

"But it seems to me that this is a blasphemy against the will of the German nation, and if you can abandon your fellow citizens because they are poor and treat the poor as troubles, then did the German sages who shouted the slogan of building the German state in the first place build their country to destroy their poor compatriots?!"

"No, absolutely not! Mr. Fichte does not mention it in his Lectures to the German Nation, nor does Herr Hegel say it in his theory of the spiritual state. In my opinion, the most important thing in Germany is not the land, not the wealth, but the people who live on it, the living people on it, whose thoughts and actions give meaning to the existence of the German state. ”

"I firmly believe in the spirit of Herr Hegel: to see yourself as a human being and to respect others as human beings. An ideal German state should be people-oriented, free and equal among people, and everyone has the right to enjoy freedom and equality. ”

"I advocate a new spirit of German individualism, which should be a spirit of self-interest and altruism. I hope that these scientists will use this spirit of individualism to apply their scientific knowledge to the liberation of the German people from poverty and hunger. ”

"In the name of the Crown Princess Victoria Foundation, I continue to support anyone who can provide German agriculture with more efficient fertilizers, anyone who can provide better pesticides and herbicides for German crops, and anyone who can provide more efficient farming techniques for German land."

Joy said.

After hearing this, Professor Maher hugged Joey tightly and said, "Little Joey, when you mentioned Mr. Fichte, I was worried that you would inherit his anti-Semitic tone, but after hearing what you said, respect everyone who lives in this land, and put people first, I am really proud of you as a student." ”

"Uncle, are you kidding, this land is full of Germans, Serbs, Czechs, Jews, Poles, Russians... They are all Germany's most precious human resources, and in a place where there are enemies on all sides, I don't unite everyone, play racism, and pull hatred, isn't this my own life..."Joey smiled bitterly in his heart.

After Joey's remarks, a PhD student named Wilhelm Ostwald first approached Joy in Professor Mach's circle, saying that he had found an industrial method that could extract nitrogen fixation from air, coal and water, and hoped that Joy would fund his research in the field of synthetic ammonia. Joy looked at this famous chemist in the field of chemistry and catalysis who will surely become famous for future generations, and did not hesitate to agree to the funding.

Then, Professor Mach's friend, a Dutchman Jacobs Henriques Van Tokhov, also told Joey a series of names of chemical formulas, hoping that Joey would fund his research on the application fields of these chemicals, and when Joey heard the name transbutynenic acid in it, he immediately agreed without hesitation.

"What are you kidding, isn't antibutadilicic acid one of the important ingredients of blood-rich iron elixirs! It can also replace citric acid as an additive for food and medicine, which must be funded! ”

Joey also initialled funding agreements with several other future gods in the field of synthetic fertilizers.

After these two rounds of communication, Joey actually couldn't keep up with the pace of the crown prince's visit, because the crown prince had already visited several large circles of gods and was communicating with Professor Koch and his small circle of students.

Joy looked at the two remaining large circles, one headed by Professors Robert Wilhelm Bunsen, Friedrich Kekule, and Professors Adolf von Beyer, and one headed by Professor Weierstras.

Joey thought about it, and it was better to find Professor Bunsen's circle first, on the one hand, Professor Bunsen was an acquaintance of his parents, and on the other hand, he joked that in this circle, there were the famous Professor Kekule and Professor Beyer.

The same polite farewell, the same confident march to the next goal.

Joey's exposition of humanistic thinking just now has been heard by the other scientific gods around him. In Germany, Kant's idealism has always been a mainstream philosophical thought, and Kant's greatest emphasis is on man's self-will. And Joey now expresses the idea of the combination of self, man and state, and the thinking and actions of people in this land, which is the meaning of the existence of the German state, which is not only refreshing for everyone.

Later, he said that self-interest first and then altruism, and asked those who have the ability to help the people around them as much as possible, and for scientists, it is to use their scientific knowledge to save all Germans from poverty and misery, and in a religious society that generally believes in God, this kind of behavior is endowed with a sacred color of mission.

In fact, this is just Joy bringing some of the famous humanistic ideas of the twentieth century to the nineteenth century ahead of time.

Although Joy did not publish a pamphlet or a book, and systematically expounded his philosophical views, what Joy said was quickly accepted by everyone, and it was recognized that he had at least a bit of humanist thinking. Therefore, Joey's every move is also silently regarded as the focus by many people.

Professor Robert Wilhelm Bunsen was a gray-haired old man and a recognized wise elder in German chemical circles.

Professor Bunsen saw Joey coming over, first gave Joey a hug, then put his hands on Joey's shoulders, leaned over to look at Joey and said, "Dear Joey, I like this part of your speech about individuals and countries. It's really great, when did you get that idea? ”

"Respectful—" Joey was about to greet politely, but was interrupted by Professor Bunsen's vigorous shaking of his shoulder.

"Joey, you've always called me Grandpa Robert, why are you so out of sight today?" Professor Bunsen said with a smile.

"Hehe," Joey said with a smile, "Mom said that I have to be dignified today, even for the elders I know well. ”

"You're such a naughty little fellow, come, tell grandpa how you have this idea."

"After studying Mr. Kant's idealism and Mr. Hegel's spiritual phenomena at the beginning, I had some ideas, and it was the inspiration given by Professor Mach just now that I suddenly felt it."

Professor Bunsen looked up at Professor Mach in the distance, half-shook his head and half-nodded and said, "It seems that Professor Mach's identity as a master philosopher cannot escape." ”

"Hey," Joey said with a smile, "I guess this is the title that Professor Maher is most unhappy to hear." ”

Professor Bunsen touched Joey's head vigorously, "It seems that the crown princess is right, you must be reminded to be dignified and decent at all times." ”

"I know it's wrong, Grandpa Robert." Joey immediately apologized sincerely, "I shouldn't be teasing people behind my back, and I shouldn't be the same to Professor Maher. ”

"It's a good boy to know that you can change your mistakes." Professor Bunsen nodded and said, "Just now you were talking about what research your mother's foundation is going to sponsor, can you tell me what's going on?" ”

"Grandpa Robert, that's right, you also listened to my father's speech just now, what do you think of my father's thoughts?" Joey asked.

"Very good, the Crown Prince's idea is very good, I was still communicating with my friends and students just now, hoping to find some suitable directions to put the Crown Prince's idea into practice."

"Great, Grandpa Robert, I actually have some ideas that I want to share with the adults." Joey said excitedly.

Professor Bunsen turned to make eye contact with the wheelchair-bound elder before turning to Joey and asking, "Joey, tell me, what do you think?" ”

"Grandpa Robert, my idea is to bring health and beauty to the people of Germany through chemistry." Joey straightened his chest and said, "Let's talk about health as I understand it, I think health is the health of the body on the one hand, and the health of the environment on the other. ”

"In order to maintain good health, in addition to receiving active medical attention from a doctor when you are sick, it is also important to take precautions yourself. What is prevention, to give a simple example, the reason why British sailors are called lime guys is because they brought fresh sour lemons with them when sailing to prevent scurvy from occurring. ”

"Imagine if we could find this miracle substance that can prevent scurvy from happening in sour lemons, and then by taking this substance in advance, would it be possible to prevent scurvy. In the same way, we also need to do research on cod liver oil to find out why it can prevent rickets. ”

"My father has just given a lecture on how to protect and transform German scientific patents, and I, as his son, need to put into practice my father's ideals, so as a representative of the Crown Princess Victoria Fund, I hope that German chemists will find out the miraculous substances I just mentioned. Taking these substances protects people's health through active prevention, which is why the Crown Princess Victoria Fund will grant funding to scientists working on this topic. Joey announced.

"In this field, I recommend Dr. Hermann-Emile Louis Fisher and Dr. Emile Fisher, both of whom are prof. Kekule and my students, who are very successful in the composition of compounds, especially sugars and purines. I am sure that they will also achieve the same high achievements in the magical material field that you mentioned. Professor Adolf von Beyer recommended the two young men next to Joey.

"Thank you, Mr. Professor Beyer. Dr. Fisher and Dr. Fisher, it is a pleasure to have the opportunity to work with you. Joey bowed to Professor Beyer, one of the most important gods in his notebook, and shook hands warmly with the two doctors.

"Professor Beyer, Professor Kekule, my mother's foundation would also like to fund your two chemical research fields." Joey looked eagerly at the two gods.

The two gods smiled at each other, nodded slightly in recognition of Joey's invitation, and then motioned for Joey to continue to talk about his thoughts.
