In the past few months, Chen Kuilong has been busy, and Sun Yuanqi has been even busier.

As for Sun Yuanqi, who has already founded and restructured several schools, he said that the priorities of school construction have long been clear in his mind. The school building infrastructure of the new school has its own accounting department in the yamen to keep an eye on, and Sun Yuanqi only goes to check the progress of the project and check the quality of the project every once in a while, and there are more important things to do on weekdays.

Because the new school will enroll students this fall, the subject design and curriculum design are imminent. Only by getting these things done can the follow-up compilation of teaching materials and the recruitment of teachers be targeted. Fortunately, it is not difficult to do this, and real science and technology are universally applicable, unlike political, economic, educational and other theories that will not adapt to the soil and water. He only needs to take the teaching plans of European and American universities and make slight changes, and then he can transplant them to China.

Sun Yuanqi really doesn't look down on the things of Little Japan at this stage, and they are all leftovers from Europe and the United States. Just like copying homework, Europe and the United States are good students, and China and Japan are poor students. No matter how well he copied Europe and the United States, he couldn't surpass others. If there is a slight mistake, it will end up like an anti-dog. If China tries to copy Japan's again, I'm afraid it won't even look like a dog, let alone a tiger? Therefore, the things that Sun Yuanqi borrowed are all from Europe and the United States, and they are famous universities in Europe and the United States, such as MIT, UC Berkeley, California Institute of Technology, Georgia Institute of Technology, Imperial College London, University of Stuttgart in Germany, University of Lyon in France, and Zurich Institute of Technology in Switzerland.

If you want to attack other people's high-end things, it's not easy to talk about it! If it's easy, you're stupid to pick the lagging ones to play? Sun Yuanqi had no choice but to divide each school into three parts: preparatory department, main department, and research department.

Later, when preparing textbooks for various schools, Sun Yuanqi was dumbfounded again: there are nearly 100 kinds of professional textbooks, and there is basically no Chinese translation! I was so busy that I didn't have time to translate. Even if he had time, Sun Yuanqi couldn't do anything.

That's right, Sun Yuanqi is a cow, but he is not a superman. As the saying goes, "Interlacing is like separating mountains." "Science is the most rigorous thing, and it is often the slightest mistake. If you are a layman who comes to translate, you can't figure it out yourself, and you still want to teach people, isn't that a harm to later learning? Faced with powder metallurgy, material heat treatment, material corrosion and protection, geological engineering, geophysics, geochemistry, petrology, mineral deposits, stratigraphy, drilling engineering, these textbooks like heaven, Sun Yuanqi had no choice but to choose a shameful retreat. Moreover, these books cover English, French, German, Italian and other languages, and Sun Yuan can't think of retreating!

Even if Sun Yuanqi had the time, knowledge, and proficiency in several foreign languages, he couldn't do it himself. This is a kind of nearly 100 kinds of difficult textbooks, and if you have to translate them by yourself, it is estimated that the Second World War is over!

In view of this, Sun Yuanqi decided to recruit teachers first and then ask them to compile the teaching materials.

When recruiting teachers, the first thing that comes to mind is Jingshi University, after all, it is more comfortable to use your own people. But a few years ago, Zhang Yuanji had already cried to Sun Yuanqi that he was poor, and knew that this class of students was basically covered by various schools, and there were few who stayed in school, let alone come to Hubei? Sun Yuanqi had no choice but to turn his attention to Europe and the United States.

European and American students have a good foundation, new knowledge, and open-mindedness, so they are the best teachers. If it weren't for the fact that Hubei is now under the rule of Chen Kuilong, and the limelight is relatively tight, Sun Yuanqi really wants to set up a "European and American Scholars Association" to gather Chinese students studying in Europe and the United States under his command, hold high the banner of science, and jointly participate in the great cause of education.

However, it doesn't matter if there is no European and American Returned Scholars Association, because there are now European and American branches of the Chinese Society for Science and Technology, which in a sense is basically equivalent to the "European and American Returned Scholars Association" in science, engineering, agriculture and medicine. As the president, Sun Yuanqi wrote a letter to elaborate on the importance of the new transportation, mining, petroleum, steel, geology and other schools in Hubei, and sincerely invited everyone to Hubei Hongwen and encourage teaching, and the treatment was preferential. Although there was no scene where the respondents gathered, there were thirty or forty people who responded, which slightly relieved Sun Yuanqi's urgent need.

In addition to the matter of the new school, Sun Yuanqi also sent Zhang Shizhao to lead a team to various prefectures and counties to inspect the use of education funds. In this time of great turmoil at the end of the Qing Dynasty, you should not underestimate the ethics of scholars, but you must not overestimate them. In just three months, only 14 primary and secondary schools were inspected, and three overseers and two provosts were found to have embezzled public funds!

In order to make an example of the chickens and monkeys, in addition to dismissing them from their posts and recovering public funds with profits, Sun Yuanqi also presented a performance to Chen Kuilong, hoping to investigate their criminal responsibility, and even if they were not beheaded and exiled, at least they would be locked up in prison for a few years and eat well.

Sun Yuanqi also understands that strict punishment and strict law cannot stop greed. If it can be stopped, will there still be corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty? The only way to do this is to send more audit teams to strengthen supervision and inspection.

In July and August, when the floods in Hubei Province were plagued, the Yamen also participated in the flood relief as much as he could, for example, students in the disaster area could attend school for free and provide free lunches. With this alone, the number of primary and secondary school students in Hubei has quadrupled compared to the same period last year. If it weren't for the fact that there were already a lot of funds allocated at the beginning of the year, and Sun Yuanqi allocated a little bit from the construction cost of the new school, I am afraid that by July and August, the schools would have run out of food!

Whenever natural and man-made disasters occur, the rich prefectures and counties are good places for displaced people, and Wuchang is no exception. At the construction site of the new school, Yang Du suggested to Sun Yuanqi that the victims of the disaster be recruited for relief work. This proved to be a very good note, which on the one hand can speed up the progress of the project, and on the other hand, it can also save a lot of money, which is one of the reasons why part of the funds can be allocated to the primary and secondary schools.

The floods also had a significant impact on Lilith's Bloomage Flour Mill. Because of the floods, wheat grains have not been harvested in many places in Hubei, and even if there is a harvest, the price has skyrocketed because of the floods, and the mill has become unprofitable for grinding flour, and the factory has fallen into a semi-shutdown state.

Lilith was emotionally stable. In Shanghai, the Sun brothers provided enough flour at affordable prices to keep the MSG factory running. The flour shipped from Hubei is sold directly when the price is high; When the price is low, it is sent to the factory to make monosodium glutamate. For her, building a flour mill in Hubei is like fishing grass and catching rabbits - neither is delayed, and it is not the main business at all.

The good news is not without it. After more than two years, the students of Hubei Technology School - now Hubei Higher Industrial School - finally developed a production line including potato cleaning, peeling and slicing. This can be regarded as a loss inside the wall and a compensation outside the wall!

Upon hearing the news, Lilith was overjoyed. The love of potato chips in Europe and the United States is no less than the obsession of Chinese with sunflower seeds, which shows the vastness of the market. Now that the foundation of his potato chip kingdom has begun to be laid, teach Lilith how not to like it?

Lilith packed the prototype as quickly as she could, brought the drawings, and prepared to sail down the river, and then float out to sea. Before leaving, I lingered for a while, and then hugged each other and said something close to myself.

"Xianggong, I heard that China's Shaanxi and Shanxi regions are rich in potatoes, is that true?" Lilith didn't know where she learned the word "Xianggong", so she shouted when she had nothing to do.

"What do you want to do?" Sun Yuanqi looked at her with fear.

"Hehe," Lilith laughed like a hen that had stolen a fox, "nothing, just asking." ”

"By the way, Lilith, it's been a rough and difficult trip to the United States. Why don't you leave Xiao Huaizu behind? Although Xiao Huaizu and Sun Yuan get together less and leave more, they are still very attached to their father. And the government office has nothing to do at night, and it is really lonely and boring if there is no one to accompany you, especially after tasting the taste of family reunion.

Lilith stared at Sun Yuanqi for a long time before she smiled and said, "Don't!" It was because of the rough winds and waves, the lonely journey, and the hardships that I had to take Aaron with me. Talking to your son when you have free time, and beating your child when you're bored, it's also a pastime, isn't it? ”

Sun Yuan had a chill.

"If you feel lonely, you can take Linka to Wuchang. Aaron is mine, and I want to educate him to be a business genius, but I can't be like my dad and be a scientist who only spends money. Lilith laughed.

Early the next morning, after eating breakfast, Lilith waved at Sun Yuanqi in a dashing manner, and then took Xiao Huaizu away.

In fact, Lilith was right not to leave Xiao Huaizu by Sun Yuanqi's side, although it would be difficult to follow her mother around, but it was no different to follow Sun Yuanqi. Especially in the past few months, Sun Yuanqi has to go to Beijing from time to time, if Xiao Huaizu doesn't want to take the train, only one person stays in the yamen, wouldn't it be worse than following his mother?

Thanks very much to the construction of the Jinghan Railway, I can go back and forth between Wuchang and Beijing in a week, and I can have three days to do things. If in the past, I took a boat from the Yangtze River to Shanghai, then from the sea to Tianjin, and then changed trains to Beijing, not to mention the round trip, I am afraid that I would still be on the way to go for seven days! Even so, Sun Yuanqi was tired of this monotonous and slow journey. It's just that the affairs in Beijing have to be handled on the spot, and I have to go back and forth between Wuchang and Beijing again and again:

In the third month of the Western calendar, Rutherford arrived in Beijing. Rutherford is the scientist who helped Sun Yuanqi the most, but he is also the scientist who plagiarized the most results from Sun Yuanqi, and he is already guilty. Rutherford came this time, how could Sun Yuanqi not see him? Not only do you want to see him, but Sun Yuanqi also wants to give him a splash of wealth!

After appointing Rutherford as professor of physics at Jingshi University and the second director of the IPRT, Sun Yuanqi discussed with him the laboratory's research plan for the coming period: using accelerated A particles to bombard lighter elements such as beryllium, boron or lithium, and observe the results.

If nothing else, the greatest experimental physicist, widely regarded as the greatest experimental physicist of the twentieth century, would have discovered the existence of neutrons. Then Sun Yuanqi suggested that he use the accelerated neutrons to bombard uranium, and found that nuclear fission and chain reaction came naturally!

With the discovery of neutrons, nuclear fission and chain reactions, coupled with previous achievements, it should not be a problem to win the Nobel Prize and go down in the history of science. This is also a little bit of Sun Yuanqi's compensation to Lu Daniu.

In the seventh month of the Western calendar, Tesla, Pan Xian and others finally developed an electronic computer. With such an epoch-making achievement, Sun Yuanqi must be present, right?

Just after meeting, the leader of Tesla grabbed Sun Yuanqi and said excitedly: "Johnson, we have finally developed an electronic computer, which will be the most glorious and important achievement in my life." After completing this research, I was finally able to plunge into some projects that interested me as much as I wanted! ”

"For example?" Sun Yuanqi didn't know what earth-shattering move the sect leader was going to make.

"There is no doubt that it is a superconductor, yes, the superconductor you proposed! Wouldn't it be practical for me to find a material that can achieve superconductivity at room temperature, and then use it to make electrical appliances and achieve long-distance lossless power transmission? Tesla's eyes glowed green.

Hearing him say this, Sun Yuanqi almost didn't cry: Brother, why do you still remember superconductivity! Let me tell you the truth, this superconductivity is a peony flower, although it is beautiful, but it does not bear fruit!

At that moment, Sun Yuanqi had no choice but to whet the appetite of the sect leader: "Professor Tesla, if you think that the development of electronic computers is considered successful, then you are very wrong!" ”

"Oh?"

"You see, the electronic computer you have developed, although the computing speed is 100,000 times that of manual work, but it occupies two or three rooms, and it can only be turned on in the middle of the night when no one is around, because when it is turned on, the other electrical appliances of the whole school cannot be used. Is this the computer we need every day? Of course not! You may say that since the prototype has been developed, the problem of miniaturization and rapidity can be solved by Pan Xian and other students. Then I have two more questions, and it is necessary for a brilliant scientist, inventor and electrical engineer like you to be involved! ”

Sun Yuanqi has this self-confidence: if you only talk about the understanding of computers, the heads of the world today combined, you can't catch up with yourself.

"I want to hear about it!"
