Talking and laughing like this, the group came to the fork in the back mountain

On the left is the west campus leading to the school, where the terrain is flat and the area is large, with five or six thousand acres, teaching classes, laboratory buildings, dormitory buildings, "cào" fields, canteens, and all kinds of facilities. Like the South Campus, which I passed by when I came to the school, it is the main teaching and living area of the school. Just standing at this intersection, you can hear the loud laughter coming from there in the distance.

In contrast, the East Campus on the right side of the fork in the road is much quieter, with large warning signs on the side of the road that say "No outsiders are allowed to enter" in four or five languages, and there is a guard box not far away, and although it is Chinese New Year's Eve, several security guards can still be seen patrolling back and forth. If you look at the 1898 Máo rifles they carry, you know that this place is definitely a heavily guarded place.

Sun Yuanqi did not pause, and walked towards the forbidden area in the first place, followed by Zhang Yuanji, Luo Zhen and others.

When the security guard saw someone coming, he immediately unloaded the gun from his shoulder, held it in his hand, aimed at the visitor, and shouted in his mouth, "Stop here and strictly prohibit visiting, quickly retreat"

Several people hiding in the sentry box were also alarmed, and quickly ran out with guns, all of them as if they were facing a great enemy. Sun Yuanqi was a little depressed, could it be that these security guards also wanted to learn from Comrade Lobanov and not let Lenin enter the Kremlin without showing his documents?

Of course, the blind crossing is too lazy to coincide with the storyline in the Chinese textbook. The leading security guard was taught by Sun Yuanqi back then, and he recognized him as soon as they met, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, "Sir, when did you come back?" ”

After a moment of greetings, the leading security guard led several of them through the sentry box and continued to walk forward. Sun Yuanqi was still a little curious: "Brother Jusheng, Brother Shuyan, Mr. Jidao, Brother Jing'an, these security guards don't seem to know you, haven't you been here before?" ”

Luo Zhen "yù", Yan Fu, and Wang Guowei shook their heads together, "I really haven't been here"

Only Zhang Yuanji replied, "I've been here twice, but each time it's a lot of work." The first time I invited my younger siblings to testify, the security guard let me in. The second time I came, I thought that I had a familiar face, and there should be no problem, who thought that the security guard here was to change the guard once a week, and I happened to have no acquaintances, and I ended up bothering my younger siblings again. I haven't been here since. ”

"......" It seems that this group of security guards has become the loyal guards of the Sun Mansion, and no one can command them without the Sun family coming forward.

In order to avoid misunderstanding, Sun Yuanqi hurriedly explained, "This is mainly the test site of several research institutes and research institutes. Because the content of the research is very important and needs to be kept strictly confidential, it is necessary to do so, not to prevent you."

"We know," Zhang Yuanji and others also hurriedly expressed their attitudes.

The first thing everyone saw was the engine research institute, and the entrance to "Mén" was also guarded by security guards. The security guard who led the way stepped forward to take action, and the group naturally cleared the customs.

The engine research institute is a large courtyard, and before I even entered it, I heard the sound of machines roaring inside. Following the sound, everyone came to a large large shed, in which dozens of large and small dissected engines were placed, the shelves were piled with various parts, the black "sè" lubricating oil stained the cement floor, and the smell of diesel fuel mixed in the air, which was permeated in every corner of the shed.

The lighting in the shed is not very good, and the lights need to be turned on in broad daylight. Beneath the lamp, a dozen young men with oil-stained hands pointed around a running engine, arguing loudly from time to time—no way not to be loud, but so low that they might not even be able to hear themselves. Because of this, they didn't notice Sun Yuanqi and the others who suddenly walked in.

Walking closer, Sun Yuanqi recognized several familiar figures inside, in addition to Nie Fan and Wang Siyao, Li Fuji was also there, and he was still the core. It can be seen from the attitude of everyone that everyone is very convinced of him.

At this time, they also spotted the visitor, who was busy turning off the engine and came up to say hello. Sun Yuanqi was very curious, "Zemin, when did you arrive at the school?" I thought you'd have to go home for a while and come back in the next year."

Li Fuji took the rag handed by Wang Siyao, wiped the oil stain on his hands, and then said, "You said that Jingshi University established the Engine Research Institute very early, so I naturally have to come and see how the level is, otherwise how can I live a solid life this year?" ”

"You're worried that I'm lying to you, so you're here to find out, right?" Sun Yuanqi shook his head as he spoke, "Alas, it's purely the heart of a villain to spend the belly of a gentleman."

"Say whatever you want" Li Fuji was in a good mood, and he didn't care about Sun Yuanqi's provocation at all.

Sun Yuanqi asked several other students, "Ziyuan, Zhijun, you didn't disgrace the school in front of Mr. Li, did you?" ”

Wang Siyao just rubbed his hands and smiled and didn't speak, but Nie Fan replied, "That's natural, our four years of work are not in vain."

Only then did Sun Yuanqi realize that the Engine Research Institute was established in early 1904, and four full years have passed since then. During these four years, the students of the institute not only have to study foreign languages, advanced mathematics, physics, mechanical engineering and other courses together with other university students, but also have to compile their own engine-related textbooks. In my spare time, I had to dissect various engines one by one and ponder the truth. When I get a glimpse of the "mén" path, I want to pass on the knowledge I have just learned to the new students in the institute. In this way, the engine research institute started from scratch, from scratch, and I don't know how much hard work it has soaked in. To have today's situation, as Nie Fan said, proves that the four years of work have not been in vain

"It is indeed very rare that these students can compile a complete set of textbooks in just a few years, and they can also find their own learning methods," Li Fuji also praised in his words.

Sun Yuanqi is very proud: "We Chinese, we can be said to be the smartest nation in the world, as long as we work hard, we will not lose to anyone." And the students of our Jingshi University are the best of the best, and this small engine is naturally difficult for everyone. ”

"But these students are still lacking compared to their British counterparts, especially in advanced design theory and important technical issues." Li Fuji objectively commented, "Of course, this is not to blame everyone, the main reason is that the textbooks that are in use now are a bit backward, and the compilers of the textbooks are deliberately vague in some important aspects. If I hadn't spent some time in research institutes and factories in the UK, I wouldn't have known the mystery. ”

It seems that in terms of advanced technology, not only Sun Yuanqi is stingy, but everyone in the world will keep a hand. Trying to learn the latest technology from textbooks, periodicals, scientific magazines and other big roads is undoubtedly a fool's dream and wishful thinking. Research, only down-to-earth research, is the only way to achieve advanced "mén"

"In another half a year, there should be a student who can surpass me, but whether it is reading books and teachings, or practicing disassembly and assembly, my understanding of the engine is always like seeing 'huā' in a fog, knowing it but not knowing why it is. If you really want to achieve something, you have to design an engine yourself, so that you can understand the samadhi. Li Fuji dropped the rag in his hand, stared at Sun Yuanqi and asked, "To design an engine, you need to modify and verify it back and forth, the prototype is not only to make a steel plant that you promised me, what can be built well?" ”

Today is indeed Chinese New Year's Eve, and I will encounter a debt when I come out of "mén".

When the steel plant will be built, Sun Yuanqi has no idea in his heart, so he has to write a blank check "I have invited people from China Industrial Machinery Company to discuss the preparation for the construction of the Beiping Iron Works, and the casting workshop is the focus, and we will strive to put it into operation before the 'chūn' festival next year." ”

Li Fuji frowned, "It's going to take a year?" Can it be faster? Well, the steel plant is indeed a huge project, and a year is already very fast. Baixi, you are the head of the first school and the second-grade member of the hall, you can do what you say and do what you do."

"Of course" Sun Yuanqi is actually more anxious than Li Fuji, after all, the five-year contract has begun to be fulfilled, and the heavy responsibility is on his shoulders, "By the way, you all come to the engine research institute with me, and we will discuss things together." ”

As soon as Sun Yuanqi got out of the workshop, he said to Zhang Yuanji, "Brother Jusheng, I have taken on a very important project in the United States, which requires a large number of people to participate in the research. Can you find a way to keep all the graduates of the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Engineering in the next few years? In particular, the departments of mathematics, physics, chemistry, electronics, chemical engineering, geology, and mechanical engineering are not missing. ”

Zhang Yuanji was a little embarrassed: "Baixi, you also know that in recent years, schools have been set up all over the country, and a large number of teachers are urgently needed, especially in science and engineering teachers. The students of our school are not only of high level, but also have no suspicion of the party, and they have always been the emperor's "NV" children who do not worry about marrying. At present, although the fourth-year students still have half a year to graduate, it is estimated that except for those who go abroad and stay in school for graduate studies, they have all been hired by Beijing Normal University, Beiyang University, Shanxi University, Zhili Higher School, Liangjiang Normal School, etc. So ......"

"Brother Jusheng, this project is very important, on the one hand, it can ensure the funding source of the school in the next 20 years, and on the other hand, it can also greatly improve our scientific research level in the fields of steel and chemical industry, so I implore Brother Jusheng to take more pain."

"I'll do my best," Zhang Yuanji had to reluctantly agree.

Sun Yuanqi said to Luo Zhen again, "Brother Shuyan, after the New Year, the school will prepare to establish new departments such as mining, metallurgy, and materials, as well as research institutes such as iron and steel, and vehicle engineering, and strive to be able to recruit students this fall." Teacher recruitment, office space and other issues, you will be troubled"

"......" Luo Zhen was stunned for a moment, and said for a long time, "I don't know anything about science and engineering."

"Okay, we'll discuss the details later." Sun Yuanqi was also in an emergency and went to the doctor.

Airplanes and engines have always been inseparable from Meng, Meng is not defocused, and the two research institutes are also living next to each other, almost out of this "mén" to that "mén". There was a loud earthquake in the engine research institute, but the aircraft research institute was quiet, quite a quiet in the middle of the noise.

Thinking about it, like studying the theory of aerodynamics and aircraft design, many times it is necessary for a person to hold a pen and hold his head to meditate, and there are relatively few opportunities to actually do it. The so-called "Pengsheng Mazhong, do not help yourself", in this environment, Sun Yuanqi and others also consciously lightened their pace.

Walking into a small building marked "Aerodynamics Research Room" at random, he soon saw Zhang Yihui lying on the desk concentrating on calculations, and the manuscript paper in front of him was half a foot high, Sun Yuanqi stopped and stayed for a moment, and then ordered in a low voice: "Let's go to the aircraft design laboratory first." Zhijun, when Shaohan stops writing, you can invite him over for a meeting. ”

Everyone came to another small building, and as soon as they entered "Mén", they saw a young man "NV" sitting next to "Mén", reading a book. When he saw someone coming, he hurriedly hid the book behind his back, got up and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”
