Chapter 100: The Great Era

Junxin stopped talking, and the headmaster had no intention of forcing him to speak. Because when he arrived, basically everyone came. Including three academicians and two vice-presidents at the same table.

"Leaders, teachers, and students, good evening, good evening, everyone......" Under the announcement of the host, the dinner officially began.

"I now give the floor to the rector." No matter what era it is, in public gatherings, the leader's speech is always a topic that cannot be avoided, but the principle is the same, just prepare the speech in advance.

The principal's speech was very decent, and it can be used as a template for the speech of the old and serious principal. Jun Xin shook his head privately at such a statement, because it did not actually play an important role.

After ten years of catastrophe, people are looking for new ideas and new atmosphere, and it is not easy to change the top management like the president, but as the president of a university destined to embark on the path of internationalization, sometimes forging ahead and carving new changes is the most attractive and resonant way, and it will even become a characteristic of a university. Looking at universities in foreign countries, those who can become influential are no exception. Just like Princeton University, where Junxin is about to go.

However, although Junxin sighed, he didn't mind. People who have come from that era are scarred, and silence has become the best choice, and in the face of such heavy pressure, how many people can do this?

However, Junxin did not have any dissatisfaction with the principal, thinking that he respected the principal who was a bit maverick. Junxin did not believe that Professor Hu alone could break the conventions of Mizuki University and hire Junxin as a researcher. If there is no principal behind this to withstand the pressure, he will not believe it. So for the principal, his heart is still full of gratitude. So I was still patient and listened to the principal's speech without missing anything.

"Next, I would like to invite the exchange student representative Junxin to give a speech on stage." After the president finished speaking, the host finished speaking, and it was Junxin's turn, and other leaders and professors were directly skipped in the middle, which was quite a pragmatic style characteristic of Mizuki University.

Junxin is no longer a little nervous like the first time he went on stage, but after experiencing several podium trainings, Junxin has become more and more calm.

"Hello students, teachers, leaders!" Junxin showed his unconventionality at the beginning, and which of the people sitting here was not an elite? Immediately, he heard the sharpness in Junxin's words, and pricked up his ears one by one.

"The night gave me black eyes, but I used them to find the light! These are the words of the poet Gu Cheng's famous hazy poem "A Generation", and regardless of his other interpretations, I will simply say what I think of it and how it influenced me. ”

"China's science and technology academics, in the Ming Dynasty, leading the world, but in just three hundred years of seclusion, the so-called **** Shangbang's drunken dream of death, was opened with guns, since then one hundred and fifty years of darkness, countless people with lofty ideals to throw their heads and spill blood deeds I don't want to mention, speaking of any historian is much more detailed and thorough than I said, I want to say that China's scientific and technological development path is bred in this suffering."

"Not long ago, I received a letter from Mr. Gu Yuxiu, the legendary senior of our Mizuki University and the founder of the School of Engineering, who is the legend of our Mizuki University, the world's authority on electrical engineering, as a scientist and a poet, writer, educator, dramatist, etc."

"I won't go into the legendary deeds, what I want to say is a little experience I got from the exchange with Gu Lao." Jun Xin's eyes looked indifferently at the group of people who were listening intently to his speech.

"In the land of China, which began to be filled with gunpowder more than a hundred years ago, many ideas have appeared, and regardless of whether they are right or wrong, in general, their purpose is generally to save the world and survive. The Westernization Movement, which is the originator of modern science and technology in China, is no exception. ”

So, what did the Westernization Movement do for the development of China's science and technology? Quite simply, it enlightened people's minds as a failed technological revolution, but it opened the door to study abroad. There are Chinese students on the streets and alleys of the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Germany, Belgium, Japan and other countries, so another generation of people who seek light in the dark is desperately devoting themselves to the road of seeking light. ”

"From the current point of view, scholars studying in Europe and the United States have a greater impact on China's scientific and technological development, most of them are famous teachers, or have made amazing achievements, or are engaged in the country's scientific and technological development. The former is like Mr. Yang Zhenning, and the latter is like Qian Xuesen and Qian Lao. ”

"After the founding of the People's Republic of China, our country has taken some detours due to historical reasons, which has had a certain impact on China's scientific and technological development, but this is the case, the artificial synthesis of bovine insulin, the discovery of Chlamydia trachomatis by Mr. Tang Feifan, and the artemisinin of Ms. Tu Yoyo are still major international achievements that can win the Nobel Prize. This is the unremitting efforts and explorations of our predecessors for the development of science in China. ”

"Now, the baton of this generation is about to be passed to us. In the next 10, 20, 30 years, we will carry the banner of China's scientific and technological development from our predecessors, so are you ready? Do you have the confidence to take on this burden? ”

Junxin suddenly sighed lightly: "Not yet, we are not ready for this yet." Gu Lao earnestly asked me in the letter, but to be honest, I was not ready to take on this burden. ”

"We have just come out of the haze of history and into the sky under the sun, what does the future look like and where should we go? How to build a new China with a highly developed science and technology? And even how to create a world science and technology power? We don't know. We are only confused..."

Jun Xin sighed deeply at this point and said, "Fortunately, our generation still has time. ”

"Da Jiangge turned his head to the east, and the dense group helped the poor world. We are the kind of people who go out to see the world, but China's own problems also need to be studied by a group of people. We went out into the world, to Princeton University in the United States to study the world's top problems, to participate in the most advanced research courses. And the group of people you stay, I hope you don't have to be frustrated and complain and continue your research. ”

"In the field of physics, the birth of quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity was predicted by etheric drift and blackbody radiation at the end of the nineteenth century, and the great transformation of physics and even the scientific community began. More recently, the advent of the steam engine heralded the rise of the first industrial revolution, and the emergence of the internal combustion engine and electricity gave rise to the second industrial revolution. Then, after such a long period of accumulation, perhaps within ten or twenty years, the third industrial revolution may arise. ”

"Students, the great era is coming, science and technology are changing with each passing day, and if you master the development of science and technology, you will have the ticket to the third industrial revolution. And in this turbulent era, as the young generation of trendsetters, are you ready? ”

"Thank you!"
