"Drop out?"

Sun Yuanqi's words were like a bolt of lightning, exploding in the ears of the students. For students who have traveled far to study, dropping out of school is undoubtedly the biggest punishment.

Mr. Sun, who has always been mild-mannered, suddenly said such a cold decision, and the audience was immediately dumbfounded.

Seeing everyone lurking, Wu Jingheng couldn't help but be furious: "Students! We are patriotic and righteous, and we are not afraid of death, let alone drop out of school? Thinking that back then, Hong Chengchou was captured by Taizong, Hong Chengchou sat down and scolded at the beginning, everyone thought he wanted to be a loyal minister, so he sent Fan Wencheng to persuade him. The dust on the beam of the house accidentally fell on Hong Chengchou's clothes, and he hurriedly bounced it off. With this, Fan Wencheng knew that he couldn't be a loyal minister: cherish his clothes, but what about his body? Sure enough, Hong Chengchou finally surrendered and became a big traitor! In the same way, if we covet school today, are afraid of dropping out, and do not go to the parade, how is it different from Hong Chengchou cherishing clothes? I'm afraid that I won't be able to be a patriot in the future! ”

Zhang Yuanji, who had been behind, replied at this time: "Zhihui's words are inappropriate!" Except for life and death, the man is a hero here! Provoked by a moment of righteous indignation, and generous death, even if it is a woman and a child, can do it. Only the real husband will seriously weigh at this time whether to live secretly and wait for the day after tomorrow, or have the courage to go to the trouble and kill himself! Let's give a few examples to prove it: Cheng Ying and Gongsun Pestle are both orphans of the Zhao family, one died first, and the other raised orphans, and it is clearly recorded in the history books: 'It is easy to die, but it is difficult to be alone.' 'This is one of them.

"When Gou Jian was ruined and his family was ruined, couldn't he die at that time? But he endured humiliation and stealing his life, lying on his salary and tasting courage, and finally recovered to save the country, which was praised by later generations. This is the second one.

"Zhang Liang and Xiang Yu are both descendants of the Six Kingdoms, and when Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, they did not throw themselves into the river because of a moment of righteous indignation, but waited for the opportunity to finally destroy the Qin family! Thirdly.

"Envoy to the Huns, Yu often waited for the festival of death, of course he was a martyr, Su Wu held the festival for 19 years, how could he not be a loyal minister? Fourth.

"The disaster of the party, Li Ying and Fan Fan are righteous people, but how can future generations slander Zhang Jian and Du Gen? This is the fifth.

"Today's national situation, all students know a thing or two, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is dangerous and stormy. The current problem, like the occurrence of a fire, is that on the one hand, it is necessary to let more people know that the disaster is imminent, and on the other hand, it is to let the people who know actively participate in the ranks of saving the disaster. If you don't publicize it, no one will know about disaster relief; With only propaganda and no one actually providing disaster relief, you can only sit back and watch the fire get bigger, what is the difference between not waking up? Since Daoguang and Xianfeng, the remarks advocating the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species have been all over the newspapers, and the people are familiar with them, and there is no need to add icing on the cake to our generation; The key is how to save the country and save the species, this is the charcoal in the snow, this is the focus of our generation! ”

"Mr. Zhang is very right!" Sun Yuan nodded and said in a loud voice, "Patriots are in their hearts and actions, not in a moment's time!" I dissuade you today, not to let you sit back and watch the country perish, but to hope that you will stay in this useful place, learn scientific knowledge, and better save the motherland from the dire situation! ”

Wu Jingheng ridiculed each other: "The country's danger is imminent!" The nation will fall, and it will be impossible to get it for slaves! What's the use of studying science? Even if you succeed in learning, you will only make yourself a high-level slave, relying on the reward of your master, and you will eat a full bowl of food! What does it have to do with the country and the nation! ”

Sun Yuan pointed to the sky and swore an oath: "I dare not say much about the survival of the dynasty." But I dare to assure you that in the next 30 years, although China will still have difficulties and crises of one kind or another, it will never perish! The Chinese nation may have calamities of one kind or another, but it will never become a slave! If there really is such a day, my Sun swears that he will definitely take off his long shirt, pick up a knife and gun, and rush to the front! Die at the front! If you violate this oath, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed! ”

The surrounding teachers and students, after hearing this, did not feel terrified and straightened their bodies.

Sun Yuanqi lowered his arms and looked at the students affectionately: "Since the country and the nation have not yet reached this point, someone must stand in the farmland and work hard to harvest grain for the motherland; There must be people who stay in the factories and produce goods for the labor of the motherland; There must be people who stay on campus to nurture the next generation for the motherland; There must be people who stay in the research room and accumulate potential for the motherland. Only when everyone does their part well, will the country not perish and will gradually become stronger!

"At Jingshi University, in addition to learning your own knowledge, you must also work hard to do research. Those who study literature are naturally in order to better preserve the quintessence of the country and educate the people; Those who study medicine are naturally to improve the national physique and ensure the health of the people; As for those who study science and engineering, I hope that you can stay in the institute, be indifferent to fame and fortune, regardless of honor and disgrace, and devote yourself to research.

"That's it! Everyone went back to save the country and the people, studied hard in their own majors, and strived to get out of school as soon as possible and contribute their own strength to the motherland! If you are interested in serving the country and the people and are willing to stay in the laboratory for 40 years, please come with me to the principal's office! ”

Someone in the crowd muttered, "Huh? Forty years in the lab? ”

"You are not afraid of death, let alone only forty years of study and research?" Sun Yuanqi looked around coldly, "It seems that as Cheng Ying said, 'It's easy to die, but it's hard to stand alone!'" ’”

With that, Sun Yuan walked towards the principal's office.

After a commotion, the students went back to the dormitory, some went back to the classroom, and thirty or forty people followed Sun Yuanqi and went to Chengqi Hall. After a while, only Wu Jingheng, Sun Kujun, Hu Hanmin and a few others were left on the playground.

Hu Hanmin was disheartened: "Brother Zhihui, are we still going to the capital to demonstrate and petition?" ”

Sun Yujun also scratched his head and said, "Just a few of us go to the capital, what impact can it have?" The students here are far worse than those in Tokyo! ”

Wu Jingheng frowned, pondered for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Then, let's be patient and not go to the city for the time being." I want to see what kind of trick this guy surnamed Sun is doing! Hmph, I don't believe it, is the blood on young people cold?! ”

A storm went down like this.

On the same day, in the capital, which is only a few dozen miles away from Jingshi University, the first student patriotic movement in a modern Chinese university broke out: the students of the Normal School and Shixue Hall of Beijing Normal University "rang the bell and went to the hall" to launch a university-wide meeting to denounce the invasion of Tsarist Russia. At this time, there were only 182 students in the Beijing Normal University Hall, and almost all of them participated.

At the meeting, Mr. Fan Yuanlian, an assistant professor at the University Hall, first talked about the interests and disadvantages, and then the students took the stage to denounce the crime of aggression of Tsarist Russia. The speaker was full of righteous indignation and impassionedness, and when it came to the emotional part, the students shared the sorrow of the teacher, and tears and snot flew together. On and off the stage, he cried loudly, shaking the world.

After discussion, it was decided to send a telegram to the governors of the provinces and the schools of each province to introduce the situation of the anti-Russian rally held in the hall of the Beijing Normal University, and to call on the students of the schools to "make great aspirations, form large groups, and ask for the lives of 40,000 people" and unite to resist the unreasonable demands of Tsarist Russia. After the meeting, he drafted the "Letter of Rejection of Russia by the Minister of Management of the Normal School of the Beijing Normal University and the Student of the Two Halls", and submitted it to Zhang Baixi, the Minister of Management, and Zhang Zhidong, who was ordered to handle the affairs of the Beijing Normal University.

Almost all schools, in the face of the student movement, took the same measure as Sun Yuanqi: dissuade. Kyoshi University Hall is no exception.

On the night of the anti-Russian rally held by the students of Beijing Normal University, the university put up a notice strictly prohibiting the students from holding a patriotic rally, claiming that "this matter is not within the students' responsibility." Soon, the former leader of the Qing School, the now old Zhang Zhidong, also went to the university hall in person, and while comforting him, he warned the students: "Don't do anything outside the school!" ”

In spite of this, some students from the Beijing Normal University still dropped out of school and went to the northeast to carry out armed anti-Russian struggles, the more famous ones are: the "Anti-Russian Iron and Blood Association" founded by Ding Kaizhang, the "East Asian Volunteer Team" organized by Zhu Xilin, and the "Kwantung Independent Self-Defense Army" initiated by Zhang Rong.

The students followed to the principal's office, Sun Yuanqi's excitement had not subsided, he looked at the students who filled most of the room, and said loudly: "I am very happy that you can have so many people follow me!" But what we are about to embark on is a historic project, huge and long-lasting, and we are far from enough. However, we are Prometheus who steal fire. The fire we stole will become a prairie fire in the hands of those who come after us, and it will benefit all generations! ”

Speaking of this, Sun Yuanqi lowered his voice, and there was a hint of demagogy in his deep voice: "I have always told you that science and technology are the primary productive forces. Actually, I only said the first half of the sentence, and I didn't tell you the second half. Today, I will tell you the second half of the sentence quietly, don't tell anyone else. The second half of the sentence of 'science and technology is the primary productive force': science and technology are also the first destructive force! What we need to do now is to open the Pandora's box of 'science and technology' and unleash the devil of 'destructive power'. Let that devil deal with the imperialist powers that invade us! ”

The students were stunned when they heard this.

Sun Yuanqi felt that his conspiracy had succeeded, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "If there really is a Pandora's box in the world, then I am one of the few people who know his power and know his true face!" And you don't have the ability to know yet. So, what you have to do now is to study hard. And also—"

As he spoke, Sun Yuanqi turned around and found the various issues of the magazine on the bookshelf that published his papers, from the issue of "Experimental Research on Uranium, Polonium and Radium Radiation Rays" to the latest issue of the "Journal of the Private Jingshi University", which published his paper "The Concept of a Cyclotron Particle Accelerator", and handed it to Pan Xian beside him:

"In addition, when you go back, copy down all the papers I wrote in these magazines, read them carefully, and read them carefully. When you graduate, if you are still interested and enthusiastic, I will reveal some details of Pandora's Box to you! ”

After the students left, Sun Yuanqi sat on the bench alone, looking at the ceiling, as if a historical picture scroll began to show a small fluctuation in his hands. This fluctuation eventually becomes a grand wave. In a trance, I couldn't help but think of the classic line in "The Lord of the Rings":

So，itbegins！

Originally, Sun Yuanqi planned to leave for the United States in mid-to-late April, just like last year, and be able to rush back when the school started in early September. Because of the delay in this matter, it was impossible to make the trip: the students who were encouraged were like an active volcano, which could erupt at any time. As the principal, he can only sit on the crater and guide carefully, hoping that the volcano will gradually calm down and not cause trouble.

At the beginning of June, the school began to enroll students for the next academic year, students were also preparing for the final exams, and the summer vacation was just around the corner. Before leaving, I was still not at ease, so I had to take Han Yu, Chen Jide, Pan Xian, Liu Bin and several other restless students with me in the name of study tours.

I heard that they can go abroad at public expense, how can these activists not want to? I've long been happy that I can't find the north. Sun Yuanqi was afraid that they would regard the three or four months they went out as a tourist vacation, so they would have to circle some investigation topics for them.

In this way, the group embarked on a journey in mid-June. Originally, Vera was also going to go together, so that Nian Zu could meet her maternal grandparents who were far away in a foreign country. Everyone persuaded in unison: "The sea is bumpy, the road is difficult, even adults can't bear it, let alone children who are still in swaddling clothes?" When Vera heard this, she dispelled her thoughts.

After three days at sea, the ship routinely went to Yokohama to refill water and coal. If it was before, Sun Yuanqi could have rested on the boat or gone to the dock for a walk. However, last time he accepted Liang Qichao's favor, and today he is here, so he should naturally bring a gift to thank him.

Sun Yuan called Liu Bin, who knew a little Japanese, out of the dock, got on a rickshaw, and went straight to the "Xinmin Cong Bao" office.

The "Xinmin Cong Newspaper" office in Yamashita Town 152 is in the alley. Liu Bin stepped forward and rang the doorbell, and it took a long time for someone to come out and open the door. Liu Bin said, "Is Liang Jun here?" Before he could finish speaking, the man saw that it was a raw face, so he hurriedly closed the door, and said, "No! Absence! ”

Sun Yuanqi felt that this person's face was very familiar, and hurriedly called: "Wait! I'm Sun Yuanqi, you're, you're Ma Junwu, right? ”

The man stopped, looked at Sun Yuanqi carefully, and then patted his leg: "Ah, sure enough, it's Mr. Sun, Ma really has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai!" Hurry, hurry, hurry, please in the house! Sun Yuanqi and the two were able to enter the house.

Ma Junwu closed the door and explained after him: "Mr. Sun, I didn't blame you just now, Ren Gong is indeed not here. In March and April of this year, he had already gone to the United States. ”

Liu Bin said: "Don't worry, don't worry, we have to go to the United States too." If you miss it here, you might even meet it on the other side of the ocean! ”

"That's the best!" Ma Junwu nodded and let the guests into the living room, "Since the establishment of the newspaper hall, the court spies have come to make trouble every now and then. So we met the fresh faces, which were never welcomed. I was rude just now, but it wasn't aimed at Mr. Sun, and I would like to forgive you! ”

"Jun Wu is polite!" Sun Yuanqi didn't feel angry at all, "You guys also have to be in love!" ”

Ma Junwu entered the house to make tea. The teacher and student were admiring the Japanese paintings on the wall in the living room, when they heard someone next door say: "What kind of bird is patriotic or not patriotic!" Other people's countries don't let us love, why should we stick our hot faces to his cold ass! In my opinion, it is better to overthrow the Manchu rule and implement nationalism! ”

Liu Bin is the most monkey-like, and he loves to play, so he has a heart of teasing. said loudly to Sun Yuanqi: "I said how the court spies are old, it turns out that there is really a revolutionary party here!" After I go back, I will definitely report to the yamen and arrest the thief! ”

The next door was silent as death, and then there was a burst of chickens and dogs, and dozens of people shouted in unison, "Don't go, the spies", Hulala snatched it out, and immediately surrounded the teacher and student firmly.
