The Institut Supérieure des Technologies in Milan (the predecessor of Politecnico di Milano) is a well-known Italian school of architecture, design and engineering, founded by Francesco Brioscchi, who sought to spread the idea of political progress and social development through scientific progress.

This is why this college, founded in 1863, is unique among Italian schools with its unique style.

Of course, unlike the thousands of students enrolled in later generations, the current European universities generally only admit a few hundred people, and the Politecnico di Milano (forget it, the name of the institute of higher technology does not look like the name of the school, although this is the name of the school) is in line with the principle of seeking refinement and not more, and its enrollment of students is only more than 200 people.

Moreover, the more than 200 people are also divided into three categories: architecture, design and engineering, each category has only a few dozen students, and if you count according to the grade of admission, there will be no more than 20 people in each grade.

It can be described as a standard elite education, of course, if you want to enter this university, you can't just rely on the ability to make money, because the president, Mr. Brioschi, pays close attention to the quality of teaching. Not to mention sleeping in class, even if you don't take it seriously, you will be severely criticized when you look at it.

And in this era, there is no student who can be admitted to the university who is not serious.

A bell rang, and Giovanni Cellano put down his textbook. "Students, that's all for today's lesson, if you want to continue to understand the internal combustion engine construction, then you can find me privately, and we will explain the working principle of the internal combustion engine in the next class."

As Giovanni Cerano's voice fell, the classroom immediately became lively, calling friends, exchanging learning experiences, and some people were in a hurry, of course, some people immediately stepped forward to ask Giovanni Cerano what he didn't understand in class, and the classroom was immediately full of vitality.

After explaining the problem to the students, Giovanni Cellano was able to clear up and have time to think about the internal combustion engine he was studying.

Yes, Giovanni Cellano is not only a university professor, but also a senior researcher. What he studied was the internal combustion engine that he talked about in class.

Ever since Otto invented the internal combustion engine in '78, Giovanni Cellano has been following up on the internal combustion engine. He believed that this new machine, which was smaller and more powerful than the steam engine, could become the power core of the new era. To this end, he cleaned up his own warehouse and carried out research on the internal combustion engine, for which he also purchased an internal combustion engine from Otto, which he used to disassemble and study.

After so many years of research, Giovanni Cellano succeeded in building a 2.15 hp gasoline internal combustion engine. After building this internal combustion engine, Giovanni Cherano's pocket was empty. Subsequent experiments on its reliability were also intermittent, and Giovanni Cerano's more important task now, in addition to attending classes, was to find a financier so that he could continue the experiment.

So after the lecture, Giovanni Cellano pondered where to look for the funds.

"Professor Cellano."

A voice interrupted his thoughts.

Giovanni Cellano looked up and saw that a colleague was calling him.

"What's the matter?"

"The headmaster is waiting for you in the office, I have something to look for you."

Cherano's words from his colleague surprised him a little, maybe the headmaster had something important.

Cerano, who did not dare to slack off, immediately rushed to the principal's office.

Rector Brioschi is a firm practitioner of technology changing society, so at Politecnico di Milano, he has always been committed to enabling teachers and students to dare to think and do in technology.

And today, Brioschi never imagined that someone from the royal family would come to the door. Well, it's the squire who is not a member of the royal family, but the people behind it make Brioschi have to be cautious. Because behind them is His Majesty King Carlo, which is enough to make him pay attention.

"Two, please taste our university's coffee, it's the most acclaimed thing in our school."

Brioschi handed the two waiting men coffee himself, and laughed at himself humorously.

In the face of the enthusiasm of this principal, how can the two attendants really accept it, not to mention, this principal Brioschi is well-known in the field of education, not only in Italy, but also in Europe.

Facing the coffee handed over by the person, the two attendants hurriedly got up and took it.

"Your Excellency, you are polite. Politecnico di Milano, under your leadership, is destined to become one of the top schools in Italy. ”

The conversation between the guests of honor did not last long, and after two sips of coffee, there was a knock at the door.

"It must be Professor Cerano's coming."

Principal Brioschi said with a smile, and immediately said with a sigh of relief. "Please come in."

"Headmaster, you're looking for me."

Before he could enter the door, Cerano opened his mouth to ask, only to come in and see that there were two other people inside, showing an inquiring look.

"Let me introduce you to Professor Cherano of our school, and the best expert on internal combustion engines in our university, at least in my opinion, there is no better than him."

Principal Brioschi introduced Cellano as if he were selling goods, much to the professor's embarrassment.

Then His Excellency the President introduced the guests. "These two are from Rome, they are employees of the royal family, and they want to talk to you about something."

"Hello, Professor Cellano."

"Hello."

After seeing that both sides had greeted each other, Principal Brioschi continued. "Okay, you've all met. Now the place is left to you, and you can talk. ”

After speaking, Principal Brioschi left freely, and carefully closed the door before leaving.

For a while, the people who enlivened the atmosphere left, and the scene was dull.

In the end, with a purpose, the two royal attendants spoke first and introduced themselves. "Hello, Professor Cerano, my name is Kader and my colleague's name is Mendy. We came here mainly to hear that your Excellency is one of the best experts on internal combustion engines in Italy, so we would like to know about it. ”

The guest's words intrigued Cherano. "Do you want to know about the internal combustion engine?"

The two attendants looked at each other and replied. "Yes."

"Then you need to know what kind of internal combustion engine, the current market is mainly divided into two types: gas and gasoline, and according to the size, and the power is divided into three types: large, medium and small, and according to the actual use, it can continue to be subdivided."

Faced with Cherano's words, the two attendants looked at each other and continued. "Can you tell us a little bit about it?"

"No problem......

As Cherano spoke, the two attendants felt a burst of regret, because the professional vocabulary that came out of this person's mouth made the knowledge of internal combustion engines they had learned before completely useless, because this one spoke very carefully, so that the two of them could only feel that they were back in school again, and they were still poor students.

"Well, Professor Cherano, what you said is very wonderful, and we admire it very much."

After being tortured for an hour, the two attendants immediately raised their hands and surrendered when they saw that Professor Cherano felt like he could continue to talk about the previous day.

Cerano, who was interrupted from speaking, saw the tortured expressions on the faces of the two and immediately apologized. "I'm sorry, I talked about sex for a while, and I didn't notice."

"It doesn't matter. The main reason why we are here this time is to extend an invitation to you to be a member of the Italian National Power Laboratory. ”

Faced with this sudden invitation, Cerano was stunned.

"Excuse me, where is the National Power Laboratory you are talking about?"

Don't blame Cerano for being too blunt, because a university professor like him is very clear about coming to various labs, let alone the motivation for his own research. And the National Power Laboratory in the mouths of the two, he had never heard of it before.

"Sorry, we forgot to say that. This National Power Laboratory is still in preparation, and Your Excellency is the first professional we are looking for. ”

The guard's explanation didn't make Cherano look happy, as he didn't know much about the specifics of the lab, so he couldn't say how happy he was.

Seeing that Cerano was somewhat indifferent, the guard named Kader decided to give him an intuitive image. "Marino Electric Laboratory, Your Excellency should know."

"I know that."

How could Cerano not know that this laboratory, which is famous in the scientific research community, has made many people who are worried about funding look envious.

"In the future, the scale and funding of the National Power Laboratory will not be less than that of the Electric Power Laboratory."

Caddell's words made Cerano's eyes light up immediately. "No problem, it's the honor of my life to be able to work for the National Power Laboratory."

Who said that people engaged in scientific research are rigid, isn't this very clever?

Cerano was not the first to bow down to pay and funding, and many of the scholars who had studied the internal combustion engine before him had fallen under the power of money, and there was no shortage of famous people.

This also confirms a wise saying, money can make ghosts grind.

And when money is spent quickly, it is naturally earned quickly, which Carlo is the most experienced.
