Chapter 154: Science Fiction Side Story 1
(There are several chapters in the biography, there are more stalks in it, there is no intention of offending historical scientists and modern scientists, if you offend anyone's idol, please don't be angry, Zhou Sitan is Zhou Huan, two-in-one chapter)
In the Confucian calendar, 1723.
One of the shoes under his feet had been lost, and his throat was also hot, but at this time, Wang Xiuzhu couldn't care about so much, and ran forward desperately.
The family drove a car outside the city to play, but the fire went out on a side road, and it took too much time to clean up the car, so it was decided that it would start to get dark when the family walked home.
As a result, when walking on the road, I met a group of bandits, my father, who was a reporter at the time, changed his face, and my mother was even more frightened and trembling - not long ago, there were several murders outside Haizhou, and the means were extremely cruel, according to the police's judgment, it was done by a group of bandits who wandered to the local area, and the police are doing their best to track them down, but these people are extremely cunning, and the police call on everyone to call the police as soon as they see these people.
The radio station has been talking about the ins and outs of the case for a long time in the past few days, and the family never thought of running into them!
"Run, get to the police!"
This was the last sentence that Wang Xiuzhu heard from her parents, and then she saw her parents and sister rushing up with their bare hands to tear up those gangsters with bad intentions.
Although she got rid of the thieves, she also lost her way, and finally came to the road, but did not see a passing carriage.
Just when she was desperate, the headlights of a car appeared in the distance, and Wang Xiuzhu rushed onto the road with an arrow step, stretching out his hand to block the middle of the road - in this era, cars are far from being popular, and it is a hundred times more difficult to meet a car that rushes at night than a horse-drawn carriage.
The car stopped, and a young man stepped down, and without scolding or getting angry, he handed over a kettle.
"Little girl, take a drink and tell me what happened?"
"My family has been kidnapped by a mob, sir please take me to the police station quickly. β
"Where was it hijacked, how long ago were there in the thug, were there any firearms?"
The young man lifted his clothes, allowing Wang Xiuzhu to see a revolver around his waist.
"It's next to Xinliang Farm, about fifteen minutes ago, there were seven or eight gangsters in total, and they had shotguns!"
Wang Xiuzhu said hurriedly, and only then did she notice that the young man was actually not so young, and he had an older temperament on his face and body.
"That's right. β
The young man frowned and asked, "Have you decided to call the police?"
"No, sir, please go to the police, I'll borrow your pistol, I'm going to save my parents, trouble sir. β
The girl reached for the man's pistol, but was avoided by the other party.
"Do you know how to use a gun? Don't mess around. β
"I can learn, it's like that in the movie, I'm going to save my parents, mom and sister, please, sir, I will regret it for the rest of my life!"
"People who don't know how to use guns go to fight seven or eight people alone, that's to send them to death, this is still a pistol, and they may not hit people within three meters, are you bold?"
"Great. β
"That's good, I'll give you two options. β
The young man opened the back seat of the car and took out a box from which it contained a semi-automatic rifle.
"First, if you continue to drive twenty miles forward now, you will see a police station, but by the time the police come, the bodies of your family members will probably be cold. β
"What about the second option?"
"Come with me to save your family, I need your way. β
The man pulled the bolt of the gun, and after making sure that the weapon was intact, he turned his head and said with a smile, the orange light lit up behind him, and Wang Xiuzhu's heart suddenly warmed.
"I'll go with you, death will be death, I'm not afraid!"
The little girl said firmly, trying to climb into the driver's seat, but was grabbed by the man.
"Stupid, go to the co-pilot's seat, and do you know why I'm taking you to save people?"
"Why?"
At this time, the man stepped on the accelerator suddenly, and the car suddenly turned around and headed towards Xinliang Farm.
"Your family should not be dead by now, but they will be injured, and when I take them near the hospital, everything will depend on you, and it is inconvenient for me to come forward. β
"Why?"
Wang Xiuzhu, who asked this question, still remembered the man's answer decades later.
"I don't have a gun license for this gun, it is illegal gun possession, although the police don't care about it on weekdays, but killing seven or eight people with these guns is a big trouble. β
At that time, Wang Xiuzhu had many doubts in his heart, such as how the police didn't care if illegal gun possession itself was a felony, and how could he be sure that he could kill so many gangsters, such as ......
But at that time, Wang Xiuzhu, who was following the man, just followed him closely.
And then the gunshots rang out, and they rang out!
Three days later.
It was still cold and windy in March, but the two police comrades who came to the door of the patent office were sweating profusely.
"My leg hurts a little, Lao Li, can you go up?"
"I still have a wife and children, I can't bear this alone, the director had a heart attack and was hospitalized the day before yesterday, he pretended to be really good. β
"This is really fucking bullshit, why did it fall on us, it stands to reason that the gunman should come to the serious crime team and those people will be dispatched, why should it fall on us, and not let us bring guns. β
The faces of the two police comrades turned green with bitterness, but in the end, they walked step by step to the door of a small office in the patent office.
"May I ask if Mr. Zhou Sitan and Zhou are there?"
"Yes, please come in. β
A man's voice came from inside the door, but it made the two policemen hesitate even more, for them, it was as if there was an evil dragon inside, and they couldn't get out if they entered.
This is really not a good errand, and if you don't make it, the two of you will be stinking for 10,000 years in the future.
But they eventually gritted their teeth and walked into the office, where a young man was sitting looking at a document and nodded when he saw the two come in.
"Mr. Zhou Sitan Zhou, have you heard about the shooting in the south of the city three days ago?"
This young man's surname is Zhou, his name is Si Tan, and he is the head of the Zhou family in Haizhou City.
Haizhou City is a thousand-year-old city close to the capital, and there have been many celebrities in history, but when it is mentioned by outsiders, it will always be asked: Is it Haizhou City, where the Zhou family is located?
After the establishment of the republic (similar to the system of the French Republic), the nobles of the family were swept away, the nobles who thought they were noble and respected were sent to the guillotine one by one, hundreds of thousands of nobles were killed, and even the imperial tombs were excavated by archaeology at the most radical time.
However, no matter how surging the democratic ideology is, no matter how the political situation changes, the Zhou family in Haizhou City, the most famous family in China for thousands of years, has not been affected in the slightest.
Although the Zhou family has never claimed to be a family, nor is it known for its wealth, power or strategy, it is still a real famous family and nobleman in the hearts of the people of the Chinese Republic.
The Zhou family has been promoting science and technology from generation to generation.
Seven hundred years ago, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Hanlin named Zhou Huan left a prominent reputation in history.
His invention of gunpowder put an end to the military superiority of the nomads, and then the descendants of the Zhou family began to promote the progress of science and technology, from the improvement of papermaking, printing, and the compass, to gunpowder, the three laws of mechanics, the law of electromagnetism, and the steam engine.
Although in the beginning, it was regarded as a heresy, heresy.
The Zhou family doesn't care about wealth, when they are poorest, they are only middle-class families, they use money as a tool, and no amount of gifts can buy them. Power is even more troublesome for the Zhou family, who prefer to conduct scientific research.
This is a cursed family, people are often passed down for several generations, but almost every generation has an unborn talent, even if it was ridiculed at the time, but it will be known after dozens of years, such as that Zhou De'er studied pea hybridization, and heredity was rumored to be a joke back then, but now it is a hot topic of research.
But this is not a real curse, the Zhou family is facing a more tragic fate, while producing talents, when the family often does not die well - the Zhou family wants to stay away from politics, but the Zhou family has a good reputation, talent, is not tempted by external things, insists on advocating and is not afraid of offending people, this kind of sage or black pot, how can the court let it go?
Some things that are beneficial to the court and the people of the world but will offend people fiercely, you must always find some scapegoats to do.
Several heads of the Zhou family were thrown out by the Son of Heaven and cut off their heads after they were done well because they did a good job of sorting out the taxes of the imperial court and the promotion of officialsβamong them, Zhou Huaxi, who blinked eleven times in a row, or Zhou Bunuo, who was denounced as a madman who propagated heliocentrism and burned to death, or Zhou Ling, who was forced to commit suicide by taking poison in prison......
This kind of betrayal of being used up as a urinal gradually gave the Zhou family an ancestral motto: it is better to commit suicide than to fight against the sword and pen.
The family, in prison, would choose to end their lives by committing suicide rather than survive in humiliation.
There are good people who have counted the death experience of dozens of generations of the Zhou family, and found that none of them have a good death, the family seems to have been cursed, especially in modern times, the Zhou family committed suicide for seven generations in a row, which shocked China and greatly promoted the progress of history.
Of course, the police in Haizhou knew the legend of the Zhou family, who often chose to commit suicide directly after being imprisoned.
"I've heard that I did it, can you give me a little time?"
After politely letting the two police comrades sit down, Zhou Sitan began to sort out the documents on the table and write a letter.
The two policemen showed such expressions on their faces, and when they came, the leader told them that if it was really Zhou Sitan's doing, this person would definitely admit it and would not resist.
The reality is really like this, the two policemen naturally did not take tough measures after Zhou Sitan admitted it, the two of them had no intention of urging at all, looking at this posture, Zhou Huan would not stop him if he wanted to go to the toilet and slip away.
Actually, if it was any other trivial matter, the police wouldn't touch Zhou Huan, just be sloppy, but what this person did not long ago was too big.
Three days ago, there was a major criminal case outside Haizhou City, someone in order to save people, launched a surprise attack from behind, shot at a group of bandits, he shot nine thugs in a row, and also killed the fleeing bandit leader from behind, after doing these things, he calmly drove the injured to the vicinity of the hospital, and then left.
The journalists' favorite was this kind of contradictory story, saving people for the sake of killing, and the massacre quickly made headlines.
Ten people died at once, which made the police in Haizhou City hurriedly act, although the rescued lady forgot the appearance and license plate of the person who rescued her, and her parents also said that it was too dark to see clearly, but the police quickly found clues.
But what made the police chief extremely painful was that he would rather not find the murderer, because the murderer was Zhou Sitan, the only seedling of the Zhou family's generation.
Zhou Sitan's father, Zhou Laiming, was a pharmacist, and the penicillin he discovered saved countless lives, and the oxytetracycline and isoniazid developed made tuberculosis, a terminal disease, history.
The police chief also remembered that his father was plagued by tuberculosis when he was a child, and he coughed and suffered from uncomfortable pain every day, and as a result, oxytetracycline plus isoniazid made his father's illness disappear in seven days.
You must know that at that time, there were tens of millions of tuberculosis patients waiting to die in the Republic, plus patients from other countries, and this medicine did not know that most people were grateful for it. As for penicillin, it is a miracle cure, and it can be called a world-changing invention.
Zhou Laiming did not choose to make money with these drugs, even if it would make him the richest man in the republic, he gave up his patents and made his scientific research results public, benefiting countless people.
But his ending made everyone regret.
Zhou Laiming committed suicide, and the drugs in his laboratory were targeted by pharmaceutical companies, because he announced that he would not register patents, but as a result, large companies stole the technology and registered the patent in advance, and also bit back to want Zhou Laiming to back down, and at the same time bought the judicial authorities to win the lawsuit, and even bought many newspapers to discredit Zhou Laiming.
Then Zhou Laiming committed suicide directly to show his innocence.
"The Zhou family is all neurotic!"
The boss of a bankrupt pharmaceutical company said this before jumping from a 16-story building, and he didn't understand why Zhou Laiming committed suicide until he died?
Zhou Laiming's suicide caused angry people to refuse to buy any of the company's products, and refused to buy the products of companies affiliated with the company, and the company's employees left one after another, and people were ashamed of having a relationship with the company.
This kind of behavior can be understood, penicillin, oxytetracycline and other drugs were equivalent to miracle drugs in that era, countless terminal diseases were easily cured, and the inventor also gave up the patent right with high morality, and finally suffered such a fate.
It shouldn't have been!
The boss of the pharmaceutical company did not expect that Zhou Laiming would commit suicide, or that he underestimated the nerves of the Zhou family - just like when Zhou Sitan's grandfather made a rabies vaccine and founded the immunology department of modern medicine, he bluntly said that the emperor of heaven was not desirable, and that returning the people and the republic was the most important thing, and pointed out that the royal family was greedy **, and it was already the public enemy of the world.
The enraged Son of Heaven did not cut off Zhou Sitan's grandfather's head and ordered him to be sent to prison, but Zhou Sitan's grandfather committed suicide directly in prison, triggering more people's pursuit of the republican system.
Going forward and forward, the Zhou family always committed suicide or begged for murder in different ways, and some people even studied the several Zhou family members who were beheaded by the emperor, and those who played the emperor could not deal with it.
What prince is immoral, brutal, what eunuch is in power, the people are not living, what is something, it is simply pointing at the emperor's nose and shouting:
You are a fool, you actually believe in religion to meet what bones, the induction of heaven and man is nonsense, what I say is the truth, you should wake up quickly and so on.
How could the emperor spare him?
finally held back his anger and sent him to prison, who would have thought that the Zhou family would be even more fierce and die directly!
After Zhou Laiming's death, Zhou Sitan was naturally concerned by many people as his son, but he didn't choose the pharmaceutical industry, and even graduated from university after correspondence courses.
Well, if it weren't for the publication of this paper by the Zhou family, it is estimated that the physics community would have severely criticized this heresy, what mass-energy equations, what relativity theory, anyway, no one can understand it, all kinds of anti-human thinking.
But no one dared to ignore it.
Just like the three laws of mechanics were founded by Zhou Dun, the history of the Zhou family digging their ancestral grave is not once or twice, science itself is a process of negation and denial, and everyone knows the evil of the Zhou family.
Maybe Zhou Dun will be stumbled by Zhou Sitan, isn't it? I want to talk about "{?$article_title?}" with more like-minded people ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
