Chapter 127: The Night Banquet III

Ps. A bad thing has a happy ending and a happy thing, so it won't be broken. In order to share my happiness, I will add a few more words and a new chapter in the past two days.

When Joey introduced the four sworn friends, in the name of the present and future backbones of the Vidulian Crown Princess Foundation, to the Deutsche Light present, Joey's sworn friends had only pride in their hearts at this moment.

Joy introduced himself to the professors in the most formal and traditional aristocratic way, such as when he introduced Dreyer, "Allow me to introduce to you Mr. Dreyer-Babbage from Scotland, son of the Countess of Le Frès, descendant of Lord Byron, inventor of Dreyer's computer, and reserve technical director of the Victoria Foundation." ”

On the one hand, the reason for this introduction is that most of the professors here are German aristocrats who have been awarded noble titles, and Joey's sworn friends also have aristocratic status, and in nineteenth-century Europe, no aristocrat would introduce himself.

If the two nobles are not familiar, they will only nod and smile, unless there is a third person who is familiar with each other to introduce each other.

The same is true at balls, banquets, if you want to get to know the nobleman you have admired for a long time but are not familiar with, either through the introduction of the host, or through someone who is familiar with both yourself and this nobleman.

In short, there will never be two aristocrats who enthusiastically introduce themselves and talk to each other without knowing each other, and if they do, they will either be considered uneducated, or they will be considered nouveau riche, and they will definitely be despised and rejected by the aristocratic circle.

On the other hand, the reason is to give his friends enough respect, on this occasion, Joey no longer regards them as his teenage partners, but uses a formal aristocratic introduction between adults, psychologically hinting at the friends, you are adults! You represent the Princess Victoria and Crown Princess Foundation! You have been treated as equals by the highest authorities of the German Empire!

For children, especially adolescent children, if they are recognized by the adult community, the pride that comes from the bottom of their hearts will be immortal.

The faces of Joey's dead friends still have a youthful youth, but each slightly thin body exudes incomparable light and heat, and the etiquette necessary for nobles to meet is done at a glance.

Fortunately, Waldemar, the little guy left Joey with the foundation of court etiquette, plus in the past month or so, the court etiquette under the guidance of the queen's grandmother has been supplemented, and now Joey's performance in front of the public is a decent little nobleman.

After the introduction of the four friends and Mr. Parsons, Joey introduced the Deutsche Light to the friends and Mr. Parsons. After some tedious aristocratic meeting etiquette, Joey suddenly found that everyone breathed a long sigh of relief, and exhaled together so loudly, but everyone present was stunned, and then everyone burst into laughter.

Well, cumbersome aristocratic etiquette is indeed stressful.

Laughing together is indeed a good way to dissolve embarrassment and stress, as well as to bring in relationships between people. After laughing, Professor Weierstrass called Dreyer aside early, ready to test his mathematical knowledge of computers, Stolin was also called by several professors to ask questions because of Sir Gruson, and as for William and Ginter, there were many elders around him.

As the representative of the Crown Princess Victoria Foundation, Joy stood with Professor Helmholtz, Professor Kirchhoff, Professor Mach, Professor Wyler, Professor Bunsen, Professor Weber, Professor Negri, and Professor Weierstrass who came to Weierstrass after telling Dreyer, holding a notebook in a decent manner, and gathered around Professor Clausius, the representative of the Royal Society, patiently recording the main points of the exchange between the gods.

To be honest, all Joey can focus on is who is on the list of visitors to the Royal Society, and who is not on the list, but the gods of the German Empire want to communicate, and the British gods are expected to come for a few days, and the German gods feel that there is enough time, how many academic exchange meetings there are, and whether to hold more sessions.

If there is anything to be adjusted, Professor Clausius will discuss it with his colleagues at the Royal Society through official channels, while Joy is prepared to go the smuggling route and put pressure on his grandmother, Queen Victoria.

In short, how to benefit the German scientific community, how to come, Joey is ready to use his grandmother to the extreme anyway.....

Joey is very clear about himself and the Mother's Foundation, and if the final effect of this event is extraordinary, Joey decides to normalize and fix this exchange of scientific community. Only by free exchange can German science be stronger.

For Professor Helmholtz, the upcoming event of the German-British scientific community is regarded as a European science center, from London to Berlin.

Professor Helmholtz has such strong confidence because of the new atmosphere that has emerged in the German scientific community, that is, the strong enthusiasm of the German scientific community, to take the most realistic example, Professor Wühler's 79-year-old identity, as the first person in the German chemical community, has enthusiastically gone to the Duchy of Anhalt to engage in potash research, not to mention the enthusiasm of German scientists in other fields.

In addition, in the past two months, inspired by the speech of Crown Prince Frederick's cultural salon, many German scientists living abroad have also returned to Germany one after another.

Crown Prince Frederick's speech on the policy of the scientific community was vigorously implemented by the German government, and the Crown Princess Victoria Foundation, represented by Joey, was also actively involved.

With the help of Sir Stockma, Joy recruited a large number of responsible employees from the German service industry, and spared no effort to provide perfect services for all the young scientists who were funded by the foundation and requested by the gods, in terms of accommodation, transportation, children's education, work allowances, etc., and was completely an image of a great nanny of German science.

In Joey's words, the ideas of the great gods of German science are the source of the Crown Princess Victoria Foundation's money, so everyone at the foundation must serve the German scientists wholeheartedly, which is not only a respect for wisdom, but also a careful and serious protection of German treasures.

Even so, Joey was not satisfied with the quality of the German service, and after some stalking, he asked Sir Stockhorse, who was an Englishman, to recruit a few senior aristocratic butlers from England and teach the employees of the Foundation's service department the service skills of English butlers.

In fact, Sir Stockhorse is responsible for the day-to-day operation of the Victorian Crown Princess Foundation, and now Sir Stockma is not like the Crown Princess's personal secretary, but more like the general manager of a large company, and he is very happy with this new role, Sir Stockhorse, and the Crown Princess is also happy to see it.

After sorting out the main points of the communication between the gods and repeating them, and then marking the things that need to be done by the Foundation, the work of Secretary Joey is over.

Professor Helmholtz touched Joey's head affectionately and said, "Jojo, I've been working hard for you lately, thank you for everything the Crown Princess and the Foundation have done for the German scientific community, all of us." With a wave of his hand, Professor Helmholtz emphasized, "All of us will remember what your parents and you did for the German scientific community." ”

Joey winked mischievously and smiled, "Mr. Professor, I can understand your gratitude to my parents, but it seems that there is no need to thank me at all." ”

"Qiaoqiao, we have all heard that the reason for this grand event is because Her Majesty the Empress thinks that the tutor you invited is not particularly good, and as compensation for you, she specially advocated this matter." Professor Kirchhoff, as someone who knows the inside story well, is reluctant to give up the opportunity to thank Joey as the hero behind the scenes.

"I heard that this is the young man who asked Professor Clausius for advice?" Professor Maher is equally well-informed.

"Hmm." Professor Clausius touched his beard under his chin, nodded, and said, "In all fairness, Mr. Parsons's idea is very interesting, although it is a little immature but not lacking in novelty, and this Cambridge graduate has been a lowly apprentice in an English shipyard for the first two years. I really did a two-year factory apprenticeship, and I was a young man with ideas, and I had a feeling that he, like my student Otto, would make amazing achievements in the field of thermodynamics. ”

"I like this kind of college student who graduated from the best university, but is willing to go to the front line of the factory to practice and practice. From heaven to mire, this precious experience is a journey that every master must go through. "Professor Clausius has a high rating of Mr. Parsons.

And this argument that in order for a polytechnic student to become a god, he must have front-line work experience, which also made all the German gods present nod and say yes, only theory without practice, it is impossible to become a god.

Professor Wüler, in particular, who is still working on the front line in the field of chemistry, said after hearing Professor Clausius's comments, "Rudolph, I completely agree with your opinion, we need to promote this academic atmosphere at the University of Berlin, and we want to bring this spirit of practice to our students." ”

"In my chemistry department, I won't let PhDs graduate without some practical experience in factories." Professor Wühler emphasized.

"Yes, sir." Professor Bunsen and Professor Kekuler nodded yes at the same time.

"I agree with Professor Wüller, and I will submit a proposal to the Imperial Ministry of Education to make this a tradition not only of the University of Berlin, but of the entire German education system." Professor Helmholtz agrees.

Professor Mach nodded, then turned to Joy and smiled, "I think the practice of the philosophy students, but I want to ask you for your help, Joy, I have seen the letter from Professor Afenarius and Professor Wiley, their work with the philosophy students is said to have been commended by the Grand Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach." Professor Mach looked at his colleagues at the university and said with a smile, "The Department of Philosophy at the University of Berlin is now a popular department." ”

"The Department of Mathematics is also very popular now, Sir Stokema comes to the Department of Mathematics almost every day, and asks a large number of students from the Department of Mathematics to make mathematical formulas for various models, and even brings a few large German companies and banks to the Department of Mathematics, which was originally the quietest department of the University of Berlin, and now it is also lively like the popular major of the Department of Economics, Qiaoqiao, this is also your reason, right?" Professor Weierstrass asked with a serious look on his face.

"Oh...."Joey really couldn't figure out whether Professor Weierstrass was happy or unhappy, so he could only say carefully, "Mr. Professor Weierstras, I would remind Sir Stockma, my godfather, and Mr. Merck to disturb the research environment of the teachers and students of the Department of Mathematics as little as possible..."

"What? Jojo, do you think that mathematics, the root of everything, does not deserve to be popular in the world?! Professor Weierstrass asked with a glare, then raised his hand to Joy and said loudly, "Every day people come to the door to woo the students of the mathematics department, and this is the manifestation of the prosperity of a country, which shows that people know that all the problems in the world are in mathematics!" ”

Then he hugged Joey and laughed and said, "Jojo, it's too late for me to be happy!" ”

Joey said with a depressed face, "You are so old, and I can't count the number of students in the mathematics department you have trained, and you still make such a joke on me as a child, it's really..."

Professor Webb looked at Joey with a depressed face and smiled, "Jojo, don't be upset, we often joke like this with each other." ”

After looking around for a while, Joey said with a stiff face, "Professors and gentlemen, of course I'm not angry, but I'm in a big trouble right now, and I hope to get your support." ”

"Ha, smart Jojo is in trouble too!" Professor Maher touched Joey's head vigorously and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's a big trouble, and we'll save you too, little Jojo!" ”

"Jojo, tell me, what's the big trouble?" Professor Helmholtz, a generous elder, asked directly with concern.

"Professors, I would like to show an important Russian guest in an interesting way the power of German science and technology, the beauty of German science, and the strength and beauty to conquer him."
