In July, the MIT Electronics Laboratory took the lead in achieving results, and the signal modulation circuit was successfully built, and the music of the Virgin Mary was successfully received by the assembled superheterodyne wireless receiver on the Yale University campus in New Haven, with clear and loud sound. The radio broadcast test, which was originally expected to be completed in five years, took less than two years, which really shocked Sun Yuanqi. After thinking about the reasons carefully, I feel that in addition to the guidance of advanced concepts and the clarity of research goals in research and development, it is to underestimate the heroes of the world.

In the research and development process of radio broadcasting, it has successively obtained more than 20 patents, including superheterodyne wireless receiver, audio coding, frequency modulation technology, amplitude modulation technology, etc. Several oligarchic companies have expressed strong interest in this. Of course, disputes followed, and although the previous wireless telegraphy used a switch to control the transmission of continuous waves to transmit Morse code, which was far from FM technology, Nikola Tesla still believed that he had violated his 1897 patent for radio technology, and he had already claimed to sue MIT Electronics Laboratory. Although it will be a lot of twists and turns, the researchers in the lab are absolutely confident that they will win the case.

At present, the main task of the laboratory is to fix, miniaturize and industrialize the corresponding equipment. The direction of future research is to study how to encode and modulate the image signal, and strive to propagate it in the same signal as the audio synthesis. The machine that receives this signal is the "TV signal receiver" that we are very familiar with, referred to as TV.

In late August, there was also good news from the Yale Element Lab that they had discovered a new substance in the decay of uranium, which is believed to be the new element that Sun Yuanqi was looking for. Because it radiated to actinium, it was given the name Protoactionium, which means "mother of actinium", abbreviated as Pa. Time is being taken to study its various parameters.

After the discovery of radon in 1900 and lutetium in 1901, and the discovery of protactinium, colleagues at the Yale Elemental Laboratory treated Professor Johnson as if Sun Yuanqi one day said, "The soil of the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa may contain a new element." "There is no doubt that the laboratory will seriously consider how to import a ton of various types of soil from the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, how to carry out various physical and chemical analyses of the soil, and of course, apply for a large amount of scientific research funding from the university. As for the school's response to this funding application, the response is simpler: just pay the funds directly. In their view, the implication of "maybe" by Professor Johnson from the Far East is actually "certain"—it is said that this is an Oriental implication that ordinary Westerners do not understand.

As for the joint research project with Professors Rutherford and Martin on the "radioactive decay mode", it was a huge project, and the short period of three or four months was only enough to complete the preliminary preparation work and make a general understanding of the radioactive decay that has been discovered so far. The most optimistic estimate is that it will be a year from now. Fortunately, these two scientists are people who can endure loneliness and feel at ease in academics.

Before coming, Sun Yuanqi's plan was to stay in the United States for only three months and return to China in mid-August, just in time for Vera to give birth. Now because Lilith is also about to give birth, it is reasonable that she cannot return to China at this time.

Hearing that Sun Yuanqi planned to stay for an extra month, MIT and Yale were naturally overjoyed. But in September, Sun Yuanqi was completely out of work, staying by Lilith's side, thinking about Vera who stayed in China; Working in the lab, okay, the heart splits in half, half to Lilith and half to Vera. In the past few days, countless test tubes and beakers in the laboratory have been broken. In order not to add to the chaos, in addition to the necessary problems that need to be solved, simply hide in the office during working hours and do not come out to make a mess.

On the afternoon of this day, Sun Yuanqi was in a daze in front of a magazine in the office, and Vera's second brother Arthur didn't even knock on the door, and rushed directly into the house, with a gasp: "Hurry, hurry, Vera ......"

Although Arthur didn't finish speaking, Sun Yuanqi already knew what he meant, and immediately rushed to the villa outside the city. On the way, Arthur, who had taken a breath, explained the reason. It turned out that after lunch, Lilith felt a little tired, got up and prepared to go back to the room for a nap, but as soon as she took a step, she had unbearable abdominal pain. Mrs. Bergman, who was well acquainted with the experience, immediately sent her eldest brother to call for a midwife, while Arthur was sent to call herself.

Although the carriage went out of the city and ran fast outside the city, Sun Yuanqi was still too slow and urged the coachman to hurry up several times. hit the door of the house, ran directly into the house, and left Arthur and the coachman to settle the account slowly.

When he entered the door, he saw Mrs. Bergman walking out of Lilith's room with a basin of hot water, and hurriedly asked, "Mother-in-law, how is Lilith?" ”

Mrs. Bergman looked at Sun Yuanqi, who was sweating profusely, and said with a smile: "It's okay, the doctor is inside." After taking a few steps, he turned back and explained, "This is Lilith's first birth, and it will be a long time, at least a few hours!" You don't have to worry too much. ”

Sun Yuanqi was about to enter the house to see Lilith, but Mr. Bergman stopped him: "Yanke, don't go in!" Come here, and Tony and Arthur, let's have a cup of coffee together! ”

At this time, Sun Yuanqi saw that Lilith's brothers were all in the living room, and they all had anxious expressions on their faces. Mr. Bergman, who has come from the past, seems much more relaxed: "When I first became a father, I was as worried and uneasy as Yank. Don't worry, the doctor has already said that it should be a smooth birth, and there will not be too many dangers. Come and sit, drink coffee and wait! ”

This coffee is really tasteless, it is estimated that there is no sugar in it, or it is mistakenly put into salt, and Sun Yuanqi can't detect it. Every moan from Lilith tugged at his heart. At the slightest movement in the room, I was nervous enough to stand up. An afternoon is longer than a year.

When it was time to turn on the lamp, a crisp cry finally came from the room. At this time, even Mr. Bergman, who showed himself with his steadyness, could not help but stand up. As for Sun Yuanqi, he had already rushed into the house regardless of the obstruction.

Mrs. Bergman was putting the little thing in a basin of warm water to wash the blood off her body. Lilith, who was extremely tired, tilted her head sideways, looked at the baby in her mother's hand lovingly, and when she saw Sun Yuanqi breaking in, she said softly: "Yanke, that's our son." ”

The Chinese name of the little thing, Sun Yuanqi has long thought about it, if it is a boy, it is called "Huaizu"; If it's a girl, hehe, use the name of your former girlfriend. As for the English name, naturally Sun Yuan doesn't have to bother, and the naming right belongs to his mother Lilith. After thinking about it for several days, Lilith came up with the final answer: Aaron, Aaron Raylier Johnson.

Now that Lilith has given birth, Vera's labor date is just a few days. However, Sun Yuanqi never received a telegram from China, and there was no reply to the telegram. The birth of Xiao Huaizu made him happy and afraid, not to mention the taste in his heart.

Seeing that the mother and child were safe, Sun Yuanqi could not leave for China immediately, because according to Jewish custom, boys are circumcised on the eighth day after birth. His significance is no less than a coming-of-age ceremony, as a father, how can he not be around?

On the second day after the circumcision, Sun Yuanqi was full of guilt, said goodbye to Lilith and Xiao Huaizu, who were still recuperating in bed, and embarked on the road back to China together with his colleagues in the laboratory and the engineers of the O&C firm. Hurrying to the San Francisco docks, Professor Martin delivered a telegram from Mr. Coster. It turned out that not half a day after Sun Yuanqi left, China sent a telegram that Vera also gave birth to a son, and the mother and son were safe. Sun Yuan's heart was lifted, and his mood of rushing back became stronger and stronger.

When I went to the dock to inquire, the familiar "Gerald" cruise ship did not arrive until a week later. If you don't have to worry about it, there is also an ocean liner called "Queen", but the end point is Yokohama, Japan, you need to change trains, but you can set sail the next day. Sun Yuan was overjoyed, and after buying the ticket, he sent a comforting telegram to Vera and told her the itinerary so that she should not worry.

On the afternoon of September 14, 1902, the streets of Yamashita Town, Yokohama, were deserted.

The late summer sun is especially blazing in the afternoon. However, the residents of Yokohama are undoubtedly happy, because at this time, the cool sea breeze is blowing. After eating Chazuku, pushing open the paper doors and windows, listening to the wind chimes and cicadas, and taking a beautiful nap, it is really the supreme enjoyment in the world.

At this moment, a newsboy appeared on the corner of the street, holding a telegram in his hand, and hurried along the house number. "152 times!" The newsboy finally found the home of the person who delivered it, and carefully checked the side. You know, it is very rude to disturb the host's lunch break at this time. If you ring the wrong doorbell, a scolding is inevitable.

"That's right, Yamashita Town 152, "Xinmin Cong Bao"!" After the newsboy was confirmed, he rang the doorbell and shouted timidly, "It's rude, is Mr. President at home?" ”

"Hello, it's coming, it's coming." There was a quick response from the room.

This relieved the newsboy: it seems that the people in the house are not taking a lunch break, so they should not have any temper, and maybe, they can be rewarded with a few cents!

The door was opened by a young man, very kind: "What can I do?" ”

The newsboy bowed: "I'm really sorry for the sudden interruption." Here is a telegram from the president of "Xinmin Cong Bao", please check it! ”

"Oh, that's it, please come in, please come in." The young man opened the door and let the newsboy into the courtyard, "Mr. President is inside, please follow me." ”

When I walked into the courtyard, I found that there were many young people in it, all of whom were working very hard. "Everyone is hanging on for their lives!" The newsboy secretly sighed in his heart, "Maybe only a rich president can take a nap peacefully at this time." ”

The young man did not take him into the house, but went around to the back of the courtyard, where there was a small pavilion where a young man was reading a book. From the time the two men approached, and even stood for a long time, the man didn't look up, still writing his things. The newsboy stole a glance, and the man seemed to be writing in kanji, not hiragana. Is it Chinese? The newsboy thought.

Finally, the man put down his pen and raised his head: "Junwu, what's the matter?" ”

"Ren Gong, there is a telegram from you, I need to check it!" Ma Junwu replied.

Liang Qichao, a giant of the times, has made outstanding contributions in multiple disciplines and fields, and is a well-known political activist, enlightenment thinker, bourgeois propagandist, educator, historian and writer in modern Chinese history.

After the failure of the Wuxu Reform, Liang Qichao went into exile in Japan and founded the "Qing Yibao". However, in December 1901, the day after the 100th issue of the Qing Yi Bao was issued, the newspaper was burned down by Cixi's grandmother, and the Qing Yi Bao was forced to cease publication. However, Liang Qichao was not discouraged, and more than a month later, on February 8, 1902, he founded the "Xinmin Cong Bao" in Yokohama, which was published on the 1st and 15th of each month. To this end, Liang Qichao has done a lot of work: on the one hand, he consulted a lot of materials, purchased Western philosophical and social science works, and learned new knowledge; On the other hand, he also had to translate the knowledge he had acquired into words, and he worked hard every day, often writing more than 5,000 words a day. - So, it's very similar to today's writers. After the newspaper was published, the market responded very well, and immediately caused a rush to buy, and the circulation of more than 10,000 copies could not meet the demand, and piracy became a trend in society.

The daily fatigue, in addition to bringing Liang Qichao the joy of success, also added new suffering to him, that is, his ideals and thoughts:

When we talk about Liang Qichao now, in addition to saying that he is the leader of the Wuxu Reform, we should say that he is a master of Chinese studies, and his academic achievements have also been affirmed by later generations. However, in the first two decades of the 20th century, he was very keen on politics, actively participating in various activities, running newspapers, giving speeches, fundraising, forming party organizations, and for a time served as the chief justice and chief financial officer of the Beiyang government. At this time, he was just thirty years old, "There are many storms and clouds in the world, the sun and the moon are in a hurry, how a young man, suddenly thirty." In his first years, he drifted overseas and made a newspaper a career, which undoubtedly deviated from his lofty political ideals. It was very painful for him.

In the process of running a newspaper and writing articles, Liang Qichao read a lot of Western works, and his thinking gradually changed, and he began to have differences with his teacher Kang Youwei's Emperor Confucius. Liang Qichao is a typical "I love my teacher, I love the truth even more", thinking back then, Liang Qichao, who was promoted at the age of 17, went to Wanmu Thatched Cottage to visit Kang Youwei, thinking that Lao Kang did have two brushes, so he worshiped Kang Youwei, who was just a talented man at that time, as a teacher. He still has his temperament unchanged, and has successively written articles such as "Interpretation of Revolution" and "Xinmin Theory: On Progress", advocating revolutionary destruction; He also wrote "The Theory of Respecting Confucius for Protecting Religion", openly opposing the teacher's proposition of protecting religion. This made Kang Youwei very annoyed, in addition to writing two long letters, "The Book of Overseas Chinese in the Restoration of America on China's Feasible Constitutional Monarchy and the Unfeasible Revolution" and "On the Death of India and the Sons of Liang Qichao and His Classmates on the Self-Reliance of the Provinces", which were devoted to discussing the issue of revolutionary self-reliance and refuting the remarks of his disciples, he even threatened Liang Qichao with "severance" and "rupture".

"Oh." Liang Qichao did not rush to sign the telegram, but picked up the manuscript on the table, read it from beginning to end, circled a few words, and handed it to Ma Junwu, "This is an article written for this issue of the newspaper, you can take a look, if there is no problem, take it and hurry up!" ”

Ma Junwu took the manuscript paper, but the name was "On the Power of Academia Controlling the World", so he read it at a glance and ten lines, and at the end of the reading, he unconsciously recited it aloud:

The doctrine of the Copernicus circle was proclaimed, and the new world began; The philosophies of Pegen and Descartes were born, and the servility of the academic world for thousands of years was lost, and the freedom of thought in Europe suddenly developed. Japan's Fukuzawa Yukichi, before the Meiji Restoration, founded a school with his own efforts, called Keio Yijuku, and created a newspaper building, called "Shishi Shinbao"; He has written dozens of books, focusing on the idea of importing the Taixi civilization. The Japanese know that there is Western learning, since Fukuzawa; The cause of its reform and reform is also consulted by the blessed people. Without such people, the world may not be able to progress, and even if it progresses, it may not be as sudden. I am a dignified Chinese, with tens of thousands of compatriots, handsome. When this country is in danger and the people are in distress, are there not one or two people who are so old?

Now I heard that all the Taixi people, said that there is a scholar named Sun Yuanqi in China, who is particularly proficient in the study of the knowledge of things, and the first word is the particle structure and shape of matter, and also says that the light has ripples and particles, all of which have broken the Taixi people's theory and have been confirmed by experiments. Therefore, the first person of his generation worshipped, thinking that he was the first person after the creation of the heavy school system Knighton! It can be seen that there is no shortage of scholars with great wisdom and courage in China, but few of them are heard. In time, there will be people in China who can influence the country. And those who can influence the country are the ones who make our country control the world. I prayed for it with incense in my heart. Seeing them, although I am old, I will respect the love and the teacher from him, and I hope that my country and my people will respect the love and follow the teacher.

"Good! Good! After reading Ren Gong's article, people seem to see the dawn of Chinese rejuvenation! Ma Junwu patted the manuscript paper and said loudly, "I'll get it right away, let everyone read it!" ”

Seeing Ma Junwu walking away, Liang Qichao called the newsboy: "It's rude to keep you waiting." Come, I'll sign for it now. ”

The newsboy hurriedly handed over the telegram. Liang Qichao signed, and handed over a dime along with the slip: "It's still bothering you on such a hot day, this is a tea invitation." ”

"Thank you, Mr. President!" The newsboy happily took the money, bowed respectfully, and then jumped away.

Liang Qichao opened the envelope, and it was a very simple sentence: "Sun Yuanqi arrived in Yokohama on the 23rd on the Queen, and prayed to buy 10 tickets to Tianjin the next day, and then remitted the money." Thank you! Kikusheng. ”
