Exaggeration? Just an exaggeration? Well, this was just Qin Lang's feeling, after all, things that could make him feel exaggerated were extremely rare, but the many professors from the Southern, Central, and Western universities sitting in the town hall, as well as the guests from Europe, had a completely different feeling—after they figured out what was going on. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Lose your marbles. All crazy!

"Hell, what the hell are the people at Penn trying to do?" People muttered, or whispered, "How can they welcome a Chinese so warmly?" A Chinese who boasted of inventing synthetic ammonia technology? ”

They still didn't believe that Qin Lang was the inventor of those two new technologies, but they didn't pay attention at all, and none of their counterparts in the northeast spoke, just sneered on their lips, and looked at them with a complex look that mixed banter, mockery, and pity - of course, these guys with bad stomachs were ready to watch a long-awaited show.

In the corner of the hall, Messerschmitt, who had no difficulty getting a fake name and pretending to be a university professor, was also waiting for the rare show. Now, the curtain has been lifted: to a warm, prolonged applause, Parsons, Hart, and today's protagonists walk into the room, take their seats in the first row, and then the applause stops, and some of the students rush in, watching and waiting with expectant eyes.

Parsons stepped up to the podium.

"Gentlemen......" he did not say "ladies". There were no ladies in the hall, and the American scientific community was still a men's world - so Elizabeth was not invited, although nominally to make the process of certifying Qin Lang's chemistry level more convincing, since there was no need to certify anything, it was just an excuse that lacked practical meaning.

Elizabeth understood, and so did Qin Lang, so he shrugged his shoulders and continued to listen. “…… I am pleased that you are here for this meeting. Gentlemen, as we have all realized, ammonia synthesis technology is an important and far-reaching technology, and it is a ......"

Parsons began to gush on the importance of ammonia technology to the world, academic, economic, and ecclesiastical power. It must be admitted that as a director of the Chemical Society, Parsons's speech was excellent, interesting, very organized, and could get to the point, but Qin Lang basically didn't listen to anything. The importance of ammonia synthesis technology is not something he needs to be concerned about.

He was not a scholar, he was a businessman; Businessmen would only care about the potential commercial value of a technology, and Qin Lang had always been well aware of this, so there was no need for him to care about Parsons' speech.

He just needs to prepare his performance carefully and wait patiently for the moment to come.

The time is fast approaching.

"Now, gentlemen," Parsons raised his voice so that every pair of ears in the hall could hear clearly, "allow me to introduce to you the inventor of ammonia synthesis technology, Mr. Qin Lang. ”

Loud applause echoed through the town hall once again. So Qin Lang stood up and walked onto the podium; At this moment, however, the professors and guests who were ready to see his joke finally couldn't sit still - so far, things have turned out completely differently than they had expected...... On the contrary, to be exact, some are beginning to speculate whether this is a well-prepared conspiracy, but the vast majority are still only dissatisfied.

"Charles. What does Parsons want to do? One of the professors sitting next to Messerschmitt turned his head and complained, "How can he so flippantly admit that the Chinese invented ammonia technology?" ”

"I don't think it's a rash act." Messerschmitt replied, but didn't say much.

So the professor was rightly wrong. "You're right. Apparently Mr. Parsons intended to make up for the mistake of the Proceedings of the American Chemical Society by recognizing the Chinese's right to invent. He bit his lip and thought for a moment, then laughed, "But he made another serious mistake." Here are the best chemists in the United States, and with just a few simple questions, the Chinese scam will be completely debunked. ”

This time, Messerschmitt simply didn't say anything but pouted - it was a pure waste of time. He took his gaze and attention away from the professor and turned back to Qin Lang, who had replaced Charles. Parsons stood in the center of the podium and was speaking.

More precisely, he was answering a boring question posed by Parsons that prompted him to talk to Elizabeth. Miss Daubs worked together on ammonia synthesis technology and the reasons for the combined alkali production process, and his motivation. Of course, he answered something high-sounding: to promote the development of human science and technology, to eliminate the dependence of modern industry on nitrate ore, and to break the European technological monopoly on the alkali industry...... Wait a minute.

None of them get to the point: making money. This is the only motivation for Qin Lang to research the two new technologies, and the others are all additives. However, on an occasion where many experts and scholars gathered, businessman Qin Lang had to transform himself into a chemist Qin Lang. Yet the transition was so natural, so easy, fluid and humorous, yet as rigorous as possible in academia, and without a manuscript in his hand, that Messerschmitt suddenly discovered another talent he possessed: acting.

He really should have gone to Broadway.

Mr. Spy shook his head, banishing the strange thought from his head. But then he heard Qin Lang say: "Here, I would like to thank the Chemical Association and the Association for the Advancement of Science, Mr. Parsons, Mr. Hart, ......."

If Messerschmitt was also a time-traveler, he would have realized that Qin Lang had mistaken this austere hall for a Chinese theater, and that he had just taken a small golden figure from Parsons and was giving his acceptance speech; But Messerschmitt wasn't much of a time-traveler, he was just a former British spy, so he just found the statement interesting. But then things got a little more ...... Qin Lang thanked the Chemical Society and the Association for the Advancement of Science, Parsons and Hart, and Elizabeth. Daubers, then his friend and partner, Rachel. McBride, Sean. O'Connor, Duncan. Sandy......

"This is the most interesting speech I've ever heard." The Spy muttered, "Why didn't he thank his parents?" ”

Before his words fell, everyone heard: "...... Finally, I would like to thank my parents, without whom I would not have been able to achieve where I am today......"

"Oh." Well, what else can Messerschmitt say but "oh," thank God, he's finally done. ”

"Yes, thank God, he's finally done." The professor next to him snorted, "Damn liar! Now it's his turn to make a fool of himself in public. ”

Messerschmitt glanced at him, wondering how he or his accomplices were going to attack Qin Lang, but at this moment, Parsons suddenly announced, "Gentlemen, it's time for free questions. If you have any questions, you can ask Mr. Qin. Of course," he reminded, "because of the large number of people, only one question is allowed per person......

Almost instantly, hundreds of hands were raised.

All eyes were on Qin Lang, wanting to see how he decided, wondering who he would choose first-the professors who were ready to see his joke were confident, they were convinced that the questions they had asked would completely stump him; The professors at the University of the Northeast were also smiling, and the real show was finally about to begin.

But just like what he said just now, Qin Lang's decision was still beyond everyone's expectations. "I never imagined that so many people would ask me questions," he said, "and I am flattered by your enthusiasm, gentlemen. ”

Messerschmitt almost laughed - he noticed that the professor's beard next to him was shaking slightly, as if his emotions were gradually getting out of control—he was too excited, but this was only the beginning. Qin Lang hasn't played his first card yet.

However, Qin Lang did not intend to play the cards in order. Answering the professors' questions one after the other was very hard work, and he wanted to make things a little easier: in the next second, he threw all the cards in his hand.

"While I'd love to answer your questions one by one, it's a bit of a waste of time, and I don't think it's appropriate to continue talking about old issues in a meeting like this. That's why I've chosen a new topic for myself and would like to share it with you. After a pause, Qin Lang continued: "As many of you already know, in fact I am a businessman. That's why I'm more interested in the application of chemistry in real industrial production, not just in laboratory research......"

"What does he want to say?" Hart asked Parsons in a low voice.

"I think," Parsons said slowly, his eyes just staring at Qin Lang, motionless, "this Mr. Qin is going to give us a huge surprise again." ”

He guessed correctly, Qin Lang really planned to surprise everyone.

He mentioned a new discipline that was about to be born, but not yet born, chemical engineering, which he studied. But it was undoubtedly quite ahead of its time: the foundation for chemical engineering was a handbook of chemical engineering written by G.E. Davies, published in 1901 by Davis Brothers, England, with a total of 900 pages and 16 chapters, recording the various concepts obtained by Davis after classifying and summarizing the various steps of chemical production in many years of industrial production. The book sold so well that in 1904 Davis Brothers published a second edition of the manual, revised by Davis's student N. Swinding.

The content of Qin Lang's speech is it.

Of course, after so many years out of school, he certainly wouldn't be able to fully retell a thousand-page manual, but what did it matter? As he said, this is a completely new subject, a new concept that he got in the actual production of the chemical industry, so of course it will have many omissions and defects. And there was no one in the town hall who could sum up anything more than him, and the professors were always soaked in the laboratory and were deeply satisfied, and they probably never cared about the actual production in the factory.

Therefore, this is Qin Lang's personal performance time. With no one to bother, he could keep talking, saying everything he could think of, the concepts of chemical engineering, the difference between applied chemistry and chemical processes, materials, metrology, power, material handling, absorption, heating and cooling, condensation, evaporation and distillation, crystallization, dialysis, electrolysis, and packaging and safety......

Qin Lang said everything he could remember, and there was nothing left, which took almost two full hours.

And then the last sentence remains.

"That's all I have summed up," Qin Lang said loudly, "but now I bring it up and hope to discuss it with you, because you are all first-class chemists." ”

But there was silence in the town hall, and then, after a few seconds, applause erupted.

This time, the professors of Tohoku University, who had endured it for a long time, finally did not have to continue pretending, and with surprise, they applauded enthusiastically, and at the same time congratulated themselves on standing in the right position.

The professors, who had originally planned to watch Qin Lang make a fool of himself, finally realized that they had made a serious mistake.

Investigate? Joke! These "first-class chemists" simply do not know what to say. This is a completely new subject, and even the people who hate Qin Lang the most have to admit that maybe he has summed everything up, and I'm afraid no one will be able to come up with anything more until this discipline is further developed. At this moment, no one could discuss with Qin Lang.

"Damn it!" The professor sitting next to Messerschmitt waved an angry fist, his face flushed, "How can that Chinese know so much?" He's just a damn businessman. ”

"I must say, I was surprised." The spy said.

He started to have a headache, how to report it to Morgan. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
