Winning the Nobel Prize, Chen Wenqiang, who participated in the secret meeting, and everyone who had been waiting in Singapore for a long time, took a German cruise ship to Sweden in a public capacity. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As time passed, Chen Wenqiang felt that he had become a little sentimental, but the harsh reality, the black memories in his mind, and the strong physique maintained by insisting on exercising would make him run like a good machine again in a hurry when needed.

Facing the sea breeze, Chen Wenqiang stretched out his arms and felt the abundant strength in his body. But what he needs is also spiritual—fulfillment, yes, fulfillment.

The wind was not strong, the waves calmed down, and the endless silence enveloped the entire space, and in the intermingling of nature, everything was silent. The sea bared its smooth and undulating chest and abdomen under the sky, gradually engulfing the sun.

A cool breath blew from the sky, causing the sea to shiver, as if the engulfed sun was sighing in satisfaction to the sky.

Ah Xuan also exhaled a long breath, the boundless sea, said that it was boring and boring, but it also made people broad-minded, and involuntarily gave birth to new feelings about life.

As Chen Wenqiang's secretary, he was not chosen by Chen Wenqiang, but sent by Caifeng. A big man is outside, he always needs to be taken care of, her identity is not suitable, and Ah Xuan, who has become an executive in Yazhou Textile Factory, came into her sight.

Due to the relationship between her background and body, Caifeng did not have the luxury of becoming a wife, and she was very satisfied if she could give her the status of a concubine. She saw that Chen Wenqiang had a good relationship with foreigners, and even with that Emily, she danced with Chen Wenqiang several times. If Chen Wenqiang marries a foreign woman, then she not only has no name, but also needs to fade out or stay away from Chen Wenqiang. So, in Caifeng's heart. I hope that Chen Wenqiang will marry a Chinese woman, preferably gentle and graceful, and will not mind Chen Wenqiang taking a concubine.

Obviously, in the work of the textile factory, Caifeng is already familiar with Ah Xuan and feels that she seems to be a more suitable candidate. And Ah Xuan and Chen Wenqiang also have a few acquaintances. They didn't show any disgust for each other, and if they got along, there was still a lot of room for emotional development.

Caifeng didn't say it directly, but Ah Xuan guessed a little, and her mood was quite complicated. Chen Wenqiang, who is famous, is also tall and mighty, and in every respect, he is a good candidate. Just like Ah Xuan's mother worked hard to sell at the beginning. This time, it was replaced by Caifeng's intentional matchmaking, which made Ah Xuan always feel a little weird. Moreover, within a few days of being on the boat, the girl blushed a little.

The "Dako" cruise ship can carry more than 1,000 people, and the voyage time is very long, so foreign tourists organize a lot of colorful activities on board. Every evening, there is a dance party on the ship. Foreign men and women danced in pairs to the accompaniment of music. to pass the time.

Chen Wenqiang, who took the first class cabin and was accompanied by a virtuous person, naturally accepted the invitation and took his female companion A Xuan to participate. At first, I just listened to those beautiful dance music and relaxed, and then pulled Ah Xuan to the dance floor. From rusty to proficient, it's not just dance steps. There is also a relationship between two people.

Gently hugging, looking at each other, body contact, and whispering, this is a very common thing in dancing, but it gives Ah Xuan a completely different feeling.

And for Chen Wenqiang. Actually, there are no too warm feelings. Maybe it's because the time they get along is still short, but the key is that the degree of intimacy of dancing is nothing to him. Of course, if you look at it from a friend's point of view, the relationship between the two is indeed a lot closer.

"If it weren't for the German cruise ship, it probably wouldn't have been treated so well." Chen Wenqiang stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, there was already a waiter serving the wine plate, he took two glasses of champagne, handed one to Ah Xuan, and said with a smile: "Why is it a little dull, is it uncomfortable to sit on the boat for a long time?" ”

"It's not." Ah Xuan came back to her senses, took the wine glass, shook her head slightly, and said, "I don't have a problem with seasickness, I have been like this since I was a child." Germany has a demand for Mr. Yu, right? Look at what kind of company it is, it's very respectful to you! ”

"Maybe!" Chen Wenqiang pondered for a while and said, "You don't have to worry about the language, I am also very proficient in German, but I don't usually speak it." ”

"I'm really stupid and I can't say I'm proficient for so long." Ah Xuan was a little surprised, "It's just barely able to deal with it." ”

"Talk more and practice more, you still have less contact with the Germans." Chen Wenqiang raised his glass and said: "To be confident, don't look too much at foreigners, and see them as unevolved monkeys, you can have some advantages psychologically." ”

"With the reputation of the gentleman, any country will treat each other with courtesy." Ah Xuan smiled and bent her eyes and said, "This is different. ”

"yes!" Chen Wenqiang smiled bitterly and said, "If they don't know me, they won't look down on me." The country is so poor and weak that even the people can't straighten their backs. ”

"This, although this is helpless, is not something that can be changed by one person." Ah Xuan sighed, swept her eyes, pursed her lips, and said, "Look at those Japanese, don't you win a war, and you are arrogant." Foreigners are also snobbish. ”

Hehe, Chen Wenqiang couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said: "You look down on war, but the rise of every powerful country is almost through this means." China, well, should not be an exception either. As for the snobbery you mentioned, between countries is more powerful than between people. That's not about feelings, only cold interests, and turning your face is faster than turning a book. ”

Ah Xuan's eyes widened, a little surprised, and a little puzzled. Although she went to a Western-style school, her experience and knowledge were obviously far from enough.

Chen Wenqiang didn't want to say too much, so he smiled and talked about a more relaxed topic again.

Sailing in the vast sea, when the sun sets in the west, the sky and the water are colorful, you can't help but feel a little homesick. Chen Wenqiang is more experienced, talking and laughing to relieve the boring atmosphere at sea. For example, talk about watching the sunrise from the bow of the boat, watching the seagulls soaring with the boat, and the whales coming out of the sea to breathe and the tall water jets that shoot out. And the vast ocean, with rolling waves, is really different from the general scenery.

And the development of things is so unpredictable, it is destined in the dark, but no one can tell you in advance. What should happen must always happen, and what happens is the fact and the truth. Even though they are close to you, or far away. Although things happen sometimes illogically. But it always makes sense.

Unconsciously, Chen Wenqiang's relationship with Ah Xuan became closer and closer. Men, it is nine times out of ten that it will not be wrong to describe it as "there is no fish in the world that does not steal fish", and Megumi Yanagishita, who is not chaotic, will definitely not become a model for men to learn. The sea is lonely and lonely, men and women get along day and night, and it is surprising that they do not have feelings.

The ship was moving on the ocean. It was already night, but the sun still lingered, turning the night into a translucent red, as if intoxicated by the golden-red light.

There were only three or five pairs of men and women on deck, all far away, and they were talking to each other. And what was intoxicated was not only the red night, Ah Xuan stood beside Chen Wenqiang and spoke in a low voice. A wave hit, and the ship swayed. Ah Xuan was a little unsteady on her feet, and Chen Wenqiang hurriedly held her waist and grabbed the railing to stabilize. The soft body was still a little hurried and rough, but it slowly became natural.

Staring at Ah Xuan, who didn't know whether it was dyed by the sunset, or the pretty face that became flushed with joy and excitement, Chen Wenqiang was a little distracted.

………………

Sweden, the Qing Dynasty did not have an embassy in this country. Official correspondence is carried out through the embassy in Russia. However, when the five ministers went abroad for an inspection, Sweden also sent an invitation.

During the visit. The king repeatedly emphasized the prosperity of trade between the two countries in those years, and there were no less than 100 merchant ships that sailed from Fort Gordon to China. Moreover, Sweden's forestry industry is very developed, and the resulting furniture industry is also thriving, such as IKEA. Later, after the delegation returned, it also proposed to the imperial court to establish forestry, probably inspired by Sweden.

And the constitutional mission is in the process of inspection. Basically, they have been courteous from various countries, and some of them are of high standard. The United States, France, Germany, Belgium, Denmark, etc., and most countries are considering that the government will open the way for business.

For example, Belgium hopes to acquire a few more Chinese railway construction projects (such as the Luján Railway before); The Danish "Great Northern Telegraph Company" is a supplier and partner of the Daqing telegraph industry. At that time, it was competing with the German company Siemens; The same is true in Germany, where well-known companies such as Krupp, Siemens AG and Bayer AG want to expand their presence in China.

As a matter of fact, the five ministers' overseas inspections, called constitutional inspections, are actually political, legal, economic and industrial, educational and cultural, military, scientific and technological, social welfare, public facilities, and even religious customs. Due to the limited time and the fact that there are so many countries and contents to be examined, it is inevitable that there will be a feeling of being a dragonfly and a little bit of a flower. Objectively speaking, to a large extent, the five ministers' overseas expeditions focused more on formal observations than on substantive and effective operational proposals.

And language is a big problem. None of the five ministers are proficient in foreign Chinese, and they often encounter a large language barrier when communicating with foreign dignitaries or related personnel, and the communication between the two sides often requires accompanying translators or local Chinese students. As a result, it is not only difficult to deepen the exchanges between the two sides, but often lead to misunderstandings and misunderstandings.

Of course, seeing it is better than not watching it, and the gain is still great. Reading the diaries of these ministers, it is hard to imagine that they were written by officials who were familiar with the books of sages and went through the feudal imperial examinations. In such a strong environment of traditional culture at that time, the knowledge of these people after the investigation may not be lagging behind, even now.

And Chen Wenqiang is obviously not even a casual observer, and the calculation time is just right. Because the main destination of his trip to Europe is Germany, attending the Nobel Prize ceremony is just a stop by for him. As the first Chinese to receive this award, Chen Wenqiang feels that the purpose and impact have been achieved, making the Chinese proud and boosting the self-confidence of the Chinese people, which is already the limit. After all, personal achievements are not directly related to the strength of the country, foreigners can respect him and treat him with courtesy, but because of this, they can change the image of the country? Changing the foreigners' disregard for China? Apparently impossible.

After only staying in Sweden for a week, Chen Wenqiang rushed to Germany after receiving the award. This seems to be somewhat perfunctory and absent-minded about winning the Nobel Prize.

As soon as he arrived in Germany, Chen Wenqiang was courteously invited to the headquarters of BASF (BASF AG, abbreviated as BASF is from the former full name Baden Aniline Soda Factory) and gave him a very high courtesy.

Ammonia synthesis is undoubtedly the greatest achievement of Haber's life, but it did not immediately gain the favor of industry, and what he gained was cold eyes and suspicion. BASF clearly has a strong interest in nitrogen fixation, but after repeated experiments, it has also expressed doubts about the future of the industrialization of synthetic ammonia.

This is the key to the fact that many inventions cannot be put into practice or will not be put into practice until a long time later, and the laboratory has taken the most important step towards industrial production, but there are still many difficult problems to achieve.

After visiting the equipment designed and manufactured by the engineers and technicians led by the chemical expert Bosch in accordance with the process of Haber, Chen Wenqiang had a bottom in his heart. BASF's attempt at industrializing synthetic ammonia is still in the first stage, which means that they have not solved any of the three major problems, or they are still carrying out painstaking and arduous selection and experimentation on the first problem.

"Maybe a month, maybe two months, no more than three months at most." Chen Wenqiang confidently set the time limit, and the historical industrialization process of synthetic ammonia took six years, but the first problem - the selection of catalysts was carried out for more than two years.

"Mr. Chen is so confident, he must have already studied and experimented, right?" As an expert in chemical engineering, Bosch decided that his method was the right one, but it was just time-consuming. Of course, this is understandable, he adopts the normative scheme of the scientific community, and if it were not for Chen Wenqiang's opportunistic approach, he would also have to take this path.

"Yes, I have done many experiments in the laboratory, and according to Mr. Haber's process, we have made synthetic ammonia in the laboratory." Chen Wenqiang replied half-truthfully: "For industrial production, some attempts have also been made, and there have been some gains. ”

Bo Shi opened his mouth, but he still didn't get to the bottom of it, after all, the two sides are a cooperative relationship, and some confidential people will not put it together now.

As for Chen Wenqiang, he has indeed done some experiments, but according to the equipment and level of Qiangzhuo's laboratory, it is impossible to produce synthetic ammonia. He took the opportunistic approach to the extreme, directly starting with an efficient and stable catalyst because he knew what it was. Historically, he and his team have conducted as many as 6,500 trials and tested 2,500 different formulas before finding the right one. (To be continued.) )
