There are 32 chemical and medical talents who came to Chongqing, some of whom brought their families, and there were as many as 57 people.

Zhou Hexuan personally went to Chaotianmen Wharf to receive them, and prepared to use his own small river boat to take them to the Zhou Mansion to rest. There are too many people, and the Zhou Mansion obviously can't be accommodated, but the Liu Xiang and Li Gengu mansions next door can be borrowed and used, anyway, most of the houses of those two families are empty.

When the ship arrived at the port, Zhou Hexuan saw Zhong Guanguan from afar, and the little old man next to him should be Zhao Liaohuang. (Thank you for the reminder, the previous chapter made a mistake in Zhao Liaohuang's name.) ）

When everyone stepped onto the dock, their luggage was all over the ground at any time.

The young people in the team were quite excited, and they all set their eyes on Zhou Hexuan, obviously Mr. Zhou was their idol.

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy walked with a trembling bell. Zhong Guanguan is almost 70 years old, his complexion is not very good, he took Zhou Hexuan's hand and said: "Mingcheng, after a long time, I didn't expect us to reunite in this situation." ”

Zhou Hexuan could only comfort and said: "Don't be sad, old man, as long as we insist on resisting, there is still hope for China." ”

"Alas," Zhong Guanguan shook his head and sighed, gritted his teeth and cursed, "If it weren't for Zhang Zizhong being a traitor, Pingjin wouldn't have fallen so quickly, this person should be killed!" ”

Zhou Hexuan did not answer this because he knew that Zhang Zizhong was martyred later.

But others don't know, now that the Japanese invaded on a large scale, Zhang Zizhong was already recognized as a traitor at the time of the national crisis.

Zhang Zizhong had two stains in the North China Incident, one was to carry Song Zheyuan behind his back to sign the traitorous "Xiangyue Details", and the other was to use the crisis in Beiping to force Song Zheyuan to abdicate.

It is speculated from various historical materials that Zhang Zizhong should have been inflated, and he began to be proud and conceited two years ago, calling himself a "two-headed child" everywhere in North China, and even had the intention of replacing Song Zheyuan. When the Japanese army surrounded Beiping, a vote of pro-Japanese elements around Zhang Zizhong instigated him to force Song Zheyuan away to stand on his own, and Zhang Zizhong agreed in a daze.

Zhang Zizhong, under the deception of the pro-Japanese elements, completely misjudged the situation. He felt that the Japanese army's attack on Beiping was completely out of dissatisfaction with Song Zheyuan, as long as he was on the throne, he would be able to keep North China from losing, and he could continue to make peace with the Japanese invaders.

As a result, after Song Zheyuan was forced out of Beiping by Zhang Zizhong, Zhang Zizhong also lost his use value, and only those who were really traitors could take the position. With a feeling of remorse, Zhang Zizhong left Beiping overnight, and now he has been arrested by Han Fuyu on the order of Lao Jiang and escorted to Nanjing for trial.

Regarding the fall of Pingjin and what he did, in Zhang Zizhong's original words, it was: "I can't imagine that I have made such a fuss for a while, as if I have been fascinated by ghosts, and I am ashamed of the chairman (Song Zheyuan)." ”

When he heard the news of Song Zheyuan's death in 1940, Zhang Zizhong wept bitterly: "Chairman (Song Zheyuan) went before me, because God did not allow me to have a chance to atone for my sins." From that time on, Zhang Zizhong had the idea of begging for death to serve the country, and finally died heroically.

Zhong Guanguan scolded Song Zheyuan a few words, then pulled the young man next to him and said, "Mingcheng, look at who this is?" ”

Zhou Hexuan vaguely felt a little familiar, and said to the young man: "You are that Zhou ...... Zhou ......"

"Zhou Hang," the young man bowed, "thank you Mr. Zhou for your help." ”

"You've grown so tall!" Zhou Hexuan was overjoyed and patted the young man on the shoulder and said.

The Zhou Hang in front of him is the prototype of the heroine's son in "The Goddess" created by Zhou Hexuan.

At the beginning, Zhou Hexuan founded Hope Primary School, but because Zhou Hang's mother was a prostitute, he was criticized and had to drop out of school, and was adopted as a grandson by Zhong Guanguan, who happened to meet him. Ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the thin little hairy head at the beginning has now grown into a handsome boy.

Zhou Hexuan asked, "Are you still studying?" ”

Zhong Guanguan said proudly: "Zhou Hang has been a prodigy since he was a child, and he jumped a few levels when he was studying, although he is only 18 years old this year, he is already in the third grade at Tsinghua University." ”

Zhou Hang added: "The Japanese invaders occupied Pingjin, Tsinghua University, Peking University and Nankai all moved, and the three universities merged in Changsha to form a temporary university. I sent my grandfather to Chongqing this time, and I will return to Changsha to sign up soon. I majored in physics, and in the future, I built airplane cannons and drove all the little devils back to my hometown! ”

"Okay, ambitious!" Zhou Hexuan praised.

Zhong Guanguan patted his head and said with a smile: "Alas, I just care about talking to you." Let me introduce you, this is Professor Zhao Liaohuang. ”

Zhou Hexuan hurriedly clenched his fists: "Mr. Yao Nong, I have admired the name for a long time!" ”

"I have admired Mr. Zhou for a long time!" Zhao Liaohuang held Zhou Hexuan's hand and said.

Zhong Guanguan introduced: "This is President Sun Xuewu. ”

A handsome middle-aged guy hugged his fists and said, "Hello Mr. Zhou." ”

"Why is Boss Fan willing to send you here?" Zhou Hexuan was overjoyed, and he couldn't wait to hug Sun Xuewu over and kiss a few bites.

During the Republic of China, there was also a private scientific research institution, called "Huanghai Chemical Industry Research Society", and Sun Xuewu in front of him was the president of Huanghai Chemical Society.

Sun Xuewu referred to the model of the Royal Society and the French Academy of Sciences, and invited scholars to come to the Huanghai Chemical Industry Society to choose their own topics according to their interests. With the efforts of these scientists, China's salt production process has been improved and reached the international leading level. Two years ago, they also smelted China's first piece of aluminum, using it to make a model of a small airplane, while also dramatically increasing the efficiency of soda ash production.

Not only that, Sun Xuewu also founded the bacteriological laboratory, and applied the results to the fields of brewing and vinegar.

Fan Xudong was able to build a sulfuric acid plant to provide raw materials for China's own fertilizers and explosives because of the scientific backing of the Huanghai Chemical Research Society.

Sun Xuewu said: "The situation in North China is critical, and the Yellow Sea Research Society is being relocated. The purpose of my visit to Chongqing was to help Mr. Zhou set up an acid factory, and to inspect the situation on the ground. To hide from Mr. Zhou, Boss Fan prefers to rebuild the research society in Changsha, but I think it is safer in Sichuan. ”

"Yes, yes, Sichuan is safer, and the research society must be run in Sichuan!" Zhou Hexuan hurriedly said.

Historically, Sun Xuewu moved the Huanghai Research Society to Changsha, but as soon as the new house was built, it moved again due to the urgency of the war. After more than a year of displacement, the Huanghai Research Society has lost most of its instruments, books and materials accumulated for 15 years, and everything can only start from scratch in Chongqing.

Afraid that Sun Xuewu would not be willing, Zhou Hexuan said again: "As long as the Yellow Sea Research Society moves to Chongqing, I promise to donate 50,000 yuan of ocean funds every year and purchase advanced scientific research equipment worth 1 million yuan from Europe, and do not ask for any benefits in return!" ”

"Really?" Sun Xuewu was moved.

"Of course it's true, I will never break my word!" Zhou Hexuan was afraid that Sun Xuewu would run away, as long as Sun Xuewu agreed to come to Chongqing, then a large number of scientific researchers would follow.

In fact, it would be better if Fan Xudong could move the Yongli sulfuric acid plant to Chongqing. The sulfuric acid plant can not only produce sulfuric acid, but also provide all kinds of acidic products, and then the sulfonamide factory will be next to the acid factory, so there is no need to worry about raw materials.

It's a pity that Zhou Hexuan couldn't convince Fan Xudong, at least not now.

Because Sichuan is still Liu Xiang's territory, Fan Xudong has a close relationship with the Nanjing government, and the Yongli sulfuric acid plant is an enterprise that can provide raw materials for explosives, it is impossible for Lao Jiang to release people into Sichuan at this moment.

Only when Liu Xiang dies of illness will all kinds of strategically important factories move to Sichuan in a big way.

Therefore, many people in the central government said: Liu Xiang's death was God who gave China a ray of life.

Dozens of scientific researchers and their families came over to shake hands with Zhou Hexuan in turn, and then everyone took a boat to Zhou's mansion to rest.

That night, Zhou Hexuan had a full meal, and the next morning, Zhou Hexuan took them to the factory.
