July 1, Moscow Domodedovo Airport.

Dome looked at the airport signs, a little overwhelmed. She knows Russian, but it's not the language barrier that makes her nervous, it's the big people who travel with her. She had never come across so many big names in academia coming together.

This time, she was accompanying her teacher to an academic conference in Moscow.

She wasn't originally invited to the meeting — and given her age, it was a matter of course — she actually took a ride on the cooperation program between the Intensive Chemical Park City and the cooperative agencies.

Then again, the plan didn't actually put her on the list in the first place. The representative who was selected as the representative of the school activities was actually the LV.5 Mikoto Misaka of Tokiwadai.

The increase in the number of places is due to Tokiwadai's desire to demonstrate not only his abilities, but also to express more of Tokiwadai's philosophy of "cultivating human resources who can travel around the world during the period of compulsory education" in the academic field.

There is no doubt that the first person to represent Tokiwadai in the academic field can only be Dono. It just so happened that the timing of this academic conference coincided with the exchange plan, and considering that this purpose could be accomplished in the implementation of the exchange plan, Dome was naturally selected as another candidate to take this bus.

But although she and Mikoto Misaka set off together, they had to be separated when they were transiting in eastern Russia. This is because Mikoto Misaka is going to attend an exhibition of a cooperative organization, and the destination of Dome is different from that of a dome who is going to Moscow to attend an academic conference.

In other words, there is not even a classmate who can share the ups and downs.

Fortunately, one of the core figures invited to this meeting was none other than Kurkov, the teacher of the dome. He is exactly a Russian in the truest sense of the word, and he should be very familiar with this trip.

“？”

The roar of engines echoes through the vast departure hall. As the largest airport in Moscow, it is naturally impossible to ignore the soundproofing of the airport. But the roar quietly passed through the layers of soundproof glass, as if through the years of this ancient airport.

Looking out,

A huge transport plane 84 meters long and 18 meters high is slowly landing on the runway.

(That's the An-225, right?) It's amazing...... ）

Although not an expert in this area, Dome was able to recognize the model of the giant transport plane at first sight. No student in the school city will recognize it. Because this transport aircraft can be said to be a milestone, the most commonly adopted concept of installing spacecraft on an aircraft and launching in the air began with this An-225.

(I remember that in the original design concept, there was a plan to use it to launch the space shuttle Buran!) ）

You know, it was in the 80s of the last century. It is unbelievable that the former Soviet Union at that time had conceived such an astonishing plan across the ages.

This idea has greatly lowered the door frame of the entire aerospace technology, and has created a earth-shaking cross-era change in the aerospace field, even if it is not an exaggeration to describe this breakthrough as "great".

Thinking of this, Dome couldn't help but sigh quietly in his heart.

The former powerful Soviet Union is long gone, and the only remaining An-225 no longer belongs to Russia. The Antonov Design Bureau, which designed it, now belongs to Ukraine, which once occupied 25% of the Soviet economy, and is already a completely new country......

Thinking so, Dome noticed that her teacher, Kurkov, was looking straight through the thick tempered glass, looking at the runway outside the departure hall for a long time.

"Oleg Dimitryevich?"

The Russian raised his hand slightly, and slowly lowered it again.

"Let me watch it for a while, watch it for a while......"

"But ......"

According to the original plan, they should leave for the official hotel as soon as they get off the plane to prepare for the subsequent welcome party. But at this time, the Russians just stood there quietly like this, for a long, long time.

Dome seemed to sense that the Russians were not looking at the An-225. His gaze seemed to travel through the gap of time and space, projecting onto a long-vanished realm......

Hold on to what you have and never give up easily. Maybe one day you will find that what you have unintentionally lost is all you have.

_

As buses carrying more than a third of the world's top physicists drove along Moscow's roads, the usually hot-tempered Russians were surprisingly silent, as if a suffocating atmosphere was spreading. The scenery of Moscow outside the car window is receding backwards like an old camera in reverse.

Most of the companions didn't pay much attention to it, but as a student of the Russians, Dome noted.

If you look at the Russians, the scenery outside the window is no different. But there was a special group of people screaming and running away.

Many of these people were dressed strangely, they were not very old, but they seemed to be full of inexplicable anger. They throw things that hurt people in their hands, but they don't seem to have a goal at all. All that filled them was a speechless shout. Other than that, nothing.

Probably, there will be nothing more worthless in this world than such a guy.

Qiongnai, who has never been harsh on others, came up with such an idea.

In the midst of the noisy and irritating noise, one of the people stood out of the group. Under the leadership of this man, they suddenly shouted. The group of unruly creatures, confusing the viewer's audition, unanimously stretched out their arms and pointed straight to the sky.

Extremist religious organizations and neo-Nazis, it is said that such people have a market in what is now Russia. In a country that once regarded Landau as a teacher to all, in a country that defeated Nazi Germany......

When ignorance is given a glorious name, when shamelessness is put on the halo of fiction, nothing strange will be surprising.

Long before she set off, she had learned about the country from a variety of sources.

Factory operating rates are low, the economy is sluggish, crime is high, science and technology are stagnant, and resource exports are reaching unprecedented levels.

Along the way, only the elderly are still working hard to support the kingdom. Even the roadside vendors are old men of the last century.

She just shook her head very slowly.

This once glorious country may be hopeless.

At that moment, she heard the Russian beside her whisper as if it were a moan.

"There is a country where they withdrew from World War I

There is a country, and they ended World War II

There was one country that had always supported the liberation movement of the colonies

When they fell, the people of the world thought that their greatest contribution was - to put an end to the evil Soviet Union.

Today, the young people of this country adore Hitler ......"

Perhaps, this will be a repercussion of the words. But at this time, no one heard this, and the dome was the only exception.

"Don't throw away what you have easily. Because what is lost can be recovered, and once it is lost, it can never be recovered. ”

Dome said slowly.

Her words caused the Russian to turn his head sharply, and he looked at the dome as if he had known his student for the first time.

Even Dome himself doesn't know where this phrase comes from. This sentence suddenly appeared in her mind, and rushed out of her mouth.

The Russians did not answer.

_

What exactly do we want? And what exactly is needed? What exactly is an ideal? What can be forgotten and what cannot be discarded?

_

Walking through the red façade of the Novodevichy Cemetery, the various tombstones inside the cemetery become the most attractive sight.

I didn't expect that the first place to visit after coming to Russia would be a cemetery.

It was already dusk when we arrived at the Novodevichy Cemetery. This time seems to have been deliberately arranged by her teacher. Later, Dome learned that this was a custom in Moscow, in order not to disturb the peace of the dead.

Although he was a little uncomfortable, he still showed the greatest enthusiasm for this trip. Because here, an undoubted great man is buried. That's the real purpose of her trip.

The Novodevichy Cemetery has always been a resting place for the great figures of Russia. Looking up, the reliefs on Ostrovsky's tombstone are as resolute as he was; The equation on Petrovsky's tombstone is a constant reminder of the great contribution made by the owner of the tomb of passers-by; The tombstone of Eisenstein, the founder of the theory of film montage, is as layered as the film technique he pioneered...... And so on and so forth, just these names are the best annotation of the word "great".

And in the mind of the dome, there is no doubt that there is a figure that is greater than the great ones buried here.

Lev Davikovich Landau.

Two years ago, Dome inadvertently passed the test he had set and was recorded in history at an age that was not only unprecedented, but also unprecedented. It was that day that she realized what kind of person she really was. It's as if Gauss, after completing the proof of the regular seventeen-sided shape, realized that his life would belong to mathematics.

This is a true great man, especially for all those who study physics.

Beside her, Kurkov took off his hat and bent down deeply, paying the highest respect to the Russian tutor of physics. Following his example, Dome also expressed his respect for the founder of the Landau school with the highest courtesy.

At this time, such a thought popped up in the mind of the dome:

Shouldn't what Russia has lost be here?

Here, in front of Landau's tombstone, is there still anyone who doesn't realize it?

Silently raised his head. On the metal pillar, Landau's bust bowed his head, as if looking at her expectantly, at everyone who stopped at his grave.

What exactly should be pursued? What is most important?

What is ideal? What is respectable?

It was only at this point that it dawned on Dome Nai.

The answer to all these questions is actually here.

It dawned on her that it was because of what made Kurkov's teacher so sad.

Not everyone is aware of the true meaning of the quest. Delusion and blind obedience are by no means pursuits, only those who have expectations and are always moving forward have the qualifications to talk about pursuits.

However, this seemingly simple, but I am afraid that it has long been forgotten by Russia, how many Russians can be touched now?

Perhaps, the greatest sorrow lies here.

===============================================

Uploader's note: This article originated from a discussion on the entry into service of China's first aircraft carrier Liaoning, in a Russian forum, and was written from a senior's Russian experience (for which I waited for 2 days to write). The psychological state of today's Russians indirectly described in it is absolutely true, and there is no falsehood in the slightest.

Although the author and I narrated it as straightforwardly as possible (after all, the protagonist is from the school city),But I believe everyone can feel the emotion in our hearts when we wrote this extraordinary.。 It's hard to put into words, but it's quite touching.
