Thirty-six, the fragrance of things in people has their own feelings
When researchers, Yan Fu, Yang Shoujing and others entered their jobs one after another, the school finally entered a normal working state. Sun Yuanqi can take a breath at this time and calm down to do some things of his own.
Compiling textbooks is a long-term job, and it is not possible to become fat in one bite. The daily work of the school and answering questions for students every day is a routine job. Fortunately, with two donations, the 30,000 taels of silver made the school's finances much easier, otherwise Sun Yuanqi would have to lose sleep every night.
These jobs occupied most of Sun Yuanqi's time. For five or six months until the end of October, when I came back from the United States, I didn't have the heart to calm down and accumulate papers, and I didn't publish any results. This is completely inconsistent with the impression that Western scientists have of this magical young man of the East: that Far Eastern kid likes to post a few long papers that others can't understand, or toss fresh experiments to test the nerves of traditional natural scientists!
Professors Rutherford, Martin, and Rossi all knew that Sun Yuanqi was building a school. They believe that it is these social affairs that delay Sun Yuanqi's normal scientific research, which makes Rutherford and others very dissatisfied: you must know that many of Sun Yuanqi's research is at the forefront of the world, and can even be said to be an important figure leading the development of natural science, how can he stop to do these managerial work?
Taking advantage of this free time, Sun Yuanqi decided to completely introduce the concept of quantum mechanics: first starting with the de Broglie wave theory, using Davidson's low-energy electron scattering experiment and Thomson's high-energy electron diffraction experiment to verify the correctness of material waves, and then establishing Heisenberg matrix mechanics and Schrödinger wave dynamics respectively, and finally mathematically proving the equivalence of these two theories. Because the two theories of matrix mechanics and wave dynamics are based on the wave-particle duality of microscopic particles, they can be called quantum mechanics.
This article synthesizes the achievements of seven winners of the five Nobel Prizes in Physics: Planck, the 18th Nobel Laureate in Physics in 1918, "Founding Quantum Theory and Discovering Fundamental Quantum"; In 1929, the 29th Nobel Prize in Physics laureate de Broglie "proposed that particles have wave-particle bipartality"; Heisenberg, winner of the 32nd Nobel Prize in Physics in 1932, "proposed the uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics"; In 1933, the 33rd Nobel Prize in Physics winners Schrödinger Dirac "established the wave equation in quantum mechanics"; In 1937, the 37th Nobel Prize in Physics winners Thomson and Davidson "discovered the diffraction phenomenon of electrons in crystals". It can be seen that the weight of the paper encompasses almost all the achievements of the development of quantum mechanics in the first four decades of the twentieth century.
Sun Yuanqi spent more than a month writing more than 200 pages of this paper, which was named "Quantum Mechanics", and was sent to the "Science" magazine after it was transcribed. In the letter, he wrote: If the journal does not publish this paper, please forward it to Professor Rutherford of McGill University in Canada and send it to McGill University Press for printing.
By the time Sun Yuanqi sent out his paper, O&C's firm had already completed the field survey of Jingshi University, drew the drawings, packed the bags, and prepared to return to the United States for Christmas and New Year. To this end, Sun Yuanqi specially prepared a Citibank check for $20,000. As a result, Sun Yuan had less than 20,000 taels of silver on hand, and the depletion of financial resources was imminent.
According to the plan, Vera, Lilith, Elena, and Nina are going back to the United States with O&C. Thus. The four girls have not had a good face in the past few days. Since entering November, the remaining ten dormitories in the mid-mountain residences have been completed one after another, and in line with the principle that empty is also empty, Sun Yuanqi has let researchers from three universities, O&C firms, and four girls move in. In order to maintain the principle of "enjoying the world after tomorrow" and "stabilizing the morale of the army", he still lives in a mud house at the foot of the mountain.
There is also a low hill at the west end of the playground, from which you can go around the library and down to the playground. Today, construction of a dormitory building for 250 students has begun on the top of this hill, which is only 60 or 70 meters high. These are all to comfort the students.
In order to send off the O&C office to return to China, all the teachers and students of the school held a simple farewell dinner in the simple cafeteria. This was the first time such an event had been held in the school, and Sun Yuanqi didn't have much experience, so he said a few words of thanks, and dinner began. Vera, Lilith, Elena, and Nina sat aside with a twitching face, which made Sun Yuanqi feel uncomfortable. In the name of inspection, he fled to another table with his wine glass.
Unexpectedly, this was completely out of the tiger's mouth and into the wolf's den. Sun Yuanqi, as the principal and teacher, has to toast any table he goes to. came and went, and before the banquet was over, Sun Yuanqi felt that the world was spinning, and he staggered to find a seat to sit down, and he didn't know anything.
I don't know how long it took, Sun Yuanqi woke up from a drunken dream, the dream was very charming, although he couldn't remember the content of the dream, it was estimated that he dreamed of his former little girlfriend again. Alas! It's time to "run a horse and dream without a trace" again. Thinking about it, despite the splitting headache, I want to take off my underwear. As soon as the arm moved, it touched a warm and soft body.
Body? Hallucination?
Touch it again, that's right! It's someone. From the sound of muttering, it's still a woman!
Sun Yuanqi immediately sat up in fright, and the cold wind in the morning hit his skin, only to find that he was naked. Hurriedly turned his head to look: this is not his bedroom! Look around me again, ahhh Ju, Ju, it's actually Nina, the little Lori! Maybe it was her salty pig hand just now, or the cold wind that woke her up, and little Lori was staring at herself with wide eyes.
Sun Yuanqi now opened his mouth so wide that he could stuff a fist, but he couldn't make a sound, and when he looked over mechanically, he found that not only Nina, but also Vera, Lilith, and Elena were all there, two on one side, and there were many of them!
Is it a dream? Sun Yuanqi pinched himself fiercely, baring his teeth in pain.
At this time, Sun Yuanqi wanted to disappear from here immediately. Taking advantage of the morning light, looking around where his clothes were, Sun Yuan couldn't help but cry out "bitter": his clothes were placed on the table opposite the bed. It takes a certain amount of courage to get out of bed naked and put on clothes under the gaze of little Lori!
Just when Sun Yuanqi was secretly cheering himself up in his heart, things took a turn for the worse, and Vera, Lilith, and Elena all woke up! Nina's family just lay there quietly, staring at herself with pure and harmless eyes; And these three girls were very excessive, they all sat up one by one, pulled the quilt to cover their chests, looked shy and angry, bowed their heads and said nothing. As a result, Nina did the same, sat up, covered her green chest with the quilt, and then lowered her head, but her eyes wandered around from time to time.
The light outside the window gradually became clear, outlining the smooth backs and soft curves of the girls. Sun Yuanqi knew that as a man, he should first break this deadlock: "Last night, last night, I didn't do anything to you, right? ”
In addition to Nina, the three girls raised their heads together, with sad and angry expressions on their faces, which meant to say: Why, eat and wipe clean, and still in bed, don't admit it?
Sun Yuanqi had no choice but to take a step back: "Then, what did I do to you?" ”
The four girls nodded together, and even Little Lori's head nodded like a chicken pecking rice. Sun Yuanqi looked at Nina with a dull expression: I won't be so beastly, right, I didn't even let go of Little Lori?
Nina saw Sun Yuanqi staring at herself, thinking that he didn't believe it, and flattened her mouth: "You touched someone's ...... just now"
Sun Yuanqi just wants to look up to the sky and roar: the conscience of heaven and earth! I just accidentally touched you twice, how did it become a "touch"?
Gritting his teeth, he asked, "Well, ladies, let's discuss serious matters for adults." First of all, who am I responsible for? ”
"Me!" The four women replied in one voice in the affirmative.
"I don't think I have that good stamina, especially when I'm drunk!" Sun Yuanqi said angrily, "Is it okay to be honest, ladies?" God loves honest people. ”
"......" The four women all lowered their heads and said nothing.
There was a sudden silence in the room.
Right now, the four girls are determined in unison that they have done something bad, what should they do? How to get to this strange room after getting drunk is a question, but now is not the time to pursue it. According to the remaining memories, Sun Yuanqi didn't dare to deny it, I was afraid that he had held it for too long, and he did do ridiculous things when he was drunk, but he was never strong, otherwise he would never lie here peacefully, and the four girls around him were not good at stubble; It is impossible to attack four girls at the same time. Sun Yuanqi thinks he is a responsible man, but he just needs to be responsible for which girl, and he has to investigate, he can't have three wives and four concubines, right? How to find out, this is a question. You can't do this kind of thing yourself, and that will really confirm your own crime of "indecent assault".
Speculate carefully, yesterday's events have some meaning of your affection, and Nina probably doesn't understand the affairs of men and women, so she excludes it; Elena is a shy girl, and she has known her for so long, and it is estimated that this kind of thing cannot be done, so it is also ruled out; Lilith is tired of herself on weekdays, has an open personality, and is very aggressive, and she is the most suspicious; As for Vera, this is a calm girl who wouldn't be involved in such an outrageous thing, right? Can...... But now she's sitting on the bed defenseless!
Headache!
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed Sun Yuanqi thought of a fact: Westerners believe in Christianity and Catholicism, and the form of marriage is strictly monogamous, and the king can only have a mistress. He asked, "Well, ladies, you are all believers in Jehovah and know that monogamy is to be observed, that is, I can only marry one of you." So, I hope you can be honest. ”
There was silence.
Lilith broke the silence: "I asked you Chinese, you ordinary people are also monogamous, but you can have many mistresses, called 'concubines'......"
"......" Sun Yuanqi was speechless, people had even investigated China's basic national conditions, and they came completely prepared. In this encounter, he was completely defeated.
Sun Yuanqi decided to change his strategy: "Anyway, I only need one wife, and it is difficult for me to support so many mistresses. So, I can only marry one of you. If you can't come up with enough proof, I'll have to wait and see if anyone is pregnant, and she's my wife. If no one is pregnant, then you have to say 'I'm sorry'. ”
In fact, the probability of "winning the lottery at one time" is very low, otherwise the earth would have been crowded with humans long ago. Therefore, Sun Yuanqi decided to use this method to force out the "victims".
Nina immediately protested: "You touched someone's ...... just now"
"Touching doesn't count!" Now there are a lot of things that are much more serious than touching, who cares about molesting little Lori?
Nina pouted, Sun Yuanqi ignored it directly, and began to ask Elena: "Elena, do you have any evidence?" ”
Elena lowered her head, even her neck and collarbones were pink. After a long time, he said, "No...... Isn't kissing a pregnancy? ”
"......: It seems that the United States is also very backward in physiological education. Sun Yuanqi replied bluntly: "No! Kissing and pregnancy have nothing to do with each other. ”
Elena suddenly looked up, "That...... What does it take to get pregnant? ”
Even Nina pointed her ears to listen to this question, and it seems that everyone is very eager for physiological knowledge.
Now that everyone has been honest with each other, there is nothing to avoid about these problems, and when he made a cameo appearance as a teacher of physiology and hygiene, Sun Yuanqi introduced the basic principles in three and two clicks.
As soon as she finished the introduction, Nina cried "wow-" and wiped her tears with both hands, not even covering the flower bones on her chest. While crying, he said, "Wow...... Wei ...... Vera, Lily ...... Lilith, I ...... I'll never ...... again Don't call you sisters anymore...... Sister, ......, woo...... Woo...... I ...... I hate you guys! …… I...... I said you ...... What are you going to do...... you say...... It was also said that it was with Johnson...... Fight, it turned out ......"
Sure enough, as the Chairman taught us, a strong fortress is easiest to attack from within.
Because of this, the O&C office delayed the departure by one day, and Elena and Nina, who had just woken up from a dream, left the sad place with them. However, at this point, Sun Yuanqi, who was forced to face this dilemma, had no choice but to write letters to the families of Vera and Lilith respectively, briefly introducing the situation, and proposing to their parents. As for how the Catholic family deals with this problem of monogamy, there is only patience.
The impact of this sudden incident on Sun Yuanqi did not last long. If it is said that the biggest impact is that he has quit drinking since then: if he gets drunk once, he almost has three wives and four concubines, and if he gets drunk a few more times, wouldn't it be seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courts?
Vera and Lilith continued to serve as English teachers at the middle and primary schools affiliated to Jingshi University. Jingsei University has returned to its former tranquility.
A few days later, on December 10, 1901, the first Nobel Prize was awarded by the Swedish Nobel Foundation: the Dutch scientist Jacobus Hendricus van't Hoff was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for "the law of chemical kinetics and osmotic pressure", and the German scientist Emil Adolf von Behring was awarded the Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his discovery of "serum therapy for the prevention and treatment of diphtheria and tetanus". ilhelm Conrad Rontgen was awarded the Physics Prize for his "discovery of X-rays". This also did not have much impact on Sun Yuanqi's life, and it was only much later that he came across the news in a magazine by chance.
The time has entered winter, and at this time, Jingshi University, located in the mountainous area on the outskirts of Beijing, is getting colder and colder, which makes Sun Yuanqi miss the heating of later generations even more. After a few snowfalls, the campus was white, and there were no more students on the playground. Because of the cold, most of the time, they stay in the same classroom in order to stay warm.
The western suburbs of Beijing are rich in coal, and Jingshi University naturally purchases it in large quantities, but it is worried that it will cause poisoning, fire and other safety problems due to improper use, so it does not dare to overuse it on campus. The newly built house was relatively damp, and the location was empty, so it was completely impossible to have a stove in the house. Sun Yuan stayed in the principal's office, rubbing his hands and stomping vigorously during the interval between compiling the textbooks, so that the numb hands and feet could regain a little sense. I walked around the office and thought: It's so cold, and the school is about to have winter vacation at this time, right?
Because this is the first batch of students at Jingshi University, many questions are still in the exploration stage. For example, if you have winter vacation now, how to arrange students' holiday life after the Spring Festival for two months?
After a few more turns, Sun Yuanqi came up with a good idea, and immediately went to the classroom to announce his idea: the school will end the semester in a week, and there will be semester exams at that time. During the two-month period between the end of the examination and the beginning of the next semester, the Department of Electronics was responsible for the design of simple wind turbines, the Department of Chemistry was responsible for the purification of river water, the Department of Physics was responsible for the design and delivery of heating, and the Department of Mathematics was responsible for the optimal design of water and electricity transmission lines. Each department participates collectively and submits the corresponding report in the first week of the next semester. If there is a need for experiments, research, etc., the school can give corresponding financial support.
Of course, it will take a long time for these students to go from scratch and from beginner to mastery, and it is even possible that their designs are full of holes, but the creativity of young people must not be underestimated. In order for them to embark on the road of scientific research as soon as possible, the only way to do so is to proceed from reality. At the same time, Sun Yuanqi tried his best to recall the sporadic knowledge of mature products such as wind turbines, heating, and tap water in his previous life, and delivered them in writing, hoping to be of some help to their research.
Sun Yuanqi's whimsical ideas later formed a characteristic of Jingshi University, most of the projects in the school have students involved, such as the Department of Geography field mapping of the school, participate in the campus construction planning, the Department of Biology to investigate the biological resources on the campus, and the Department of Geology to survey the resources of the school. By extension, students can be found in book collections, linguistic surveys, archaeological excavations, geological surveys, animal and plant surveys, and so on. To a certain extent, this also reflects the motto of Jingshi University.
At the end of the exam, the students finally felt that their department was originally a collective, and everyone began to divide the work, research principles, field investigations, and hands-on experiments, which had never been such a hands-on opportunity before, so they were all full of interest. Even if it's freezing outside, it's all over the mountains. Sun Yuanqi can finally sit in his office with peace of mind, discuss the first draft of "Quantum Mechanics" he has saved with PhDs from the United States and Canada, and discuss with them, occasionally interspersed with light topics such as Christmas, New Year's Day, and turkey, to dispel their melancholy of "missing their relatives every festive season".
At this time, Lao Zheng braved the snow to send a letter, and when he looked carefully, it was written by Cai Yuanpei. In August and September, when Jingshi University was preparing for its establishment, Sun Yuanqi asked Shi Yunyu of the Commercial Press to bring a letter to Cai Yuanpei, who was then the chief teacher of Nanyang College, revealing a strong intention to solicit, but there was no follow-up later. Has he changed his mind now?
Hurriedly opened the letter and read it. Cai Yuanpei first apologized for not replying in time, and then said that he had limited talent and was not qualified to teach at Jingshi University, so he could not go north, and he still asked Haihan Yunyun. When Sun Yuanqi was disappointed, the end of the letter suddenly turned around and said: "Ago, Brother Zhang Jusheng, the prime minister of Nanyang College, was dismissed from his post and has been living idlely so far, I don't know if there is still a vacancy in Brother Tai?" Reading this, Sun Yuan got up and shouted "good", causing a group of foreigners to stare at them with blue eyes.
Sun Yuanqi ignored the snow outside, hurriedly returned to the city, and sent telegrams to Cai Yuanpei and Zhang Yuanji respectively. For Cai Yuanpei, in addition to thanks, he once again expressed his intention to solicit; As for Zhang Yuanji, he said that if he goes north, he can serve as the vice president of Jingshi University and the director of the school council.
After staying overnight in the capital, Zhang Yuanji finally sent a telegram on the afternoon of the second day, saying that he would take up his post after the new year. Sun Yuanqi was overjoyed, and in addition to calling back to thank him, he hurriedly attached a number of travel expenses to show his intentions. I thought to myself: In this way, I can finally be freed from school affairs in the next year and concentrate on building two laboratories. Then I thought again: By the way, I wrote to Mr. Zhang Taiyan not long ago, why haven't I seen him reply? Could it be that this big bull is dismissive of high salaries?
As everyone knows, at this time, Zhang Taiyan was erecting the banner of anti-Qing Dynasty in Shanghai and fighting with the reformists, so how could he be interested in going north? In addition, Shanghai is full of foreign concessions and anti-Qing ideology is rampant, and it is an ideal hiding place for revolutionary aspirants. As the capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Beijing is relatively much more conservative, so how could Mr. Zhang Taiyan go north? As for why Cai Yuanpei is reluctant to go north, I am afraid that there is also this factor to some extent.
