"Is the world really stronger than hell, and God will also snooze." Tesla put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief beside him, as if he remembered in his eyes: "This sentence reminds me of Dante, who once said that 'the darkest places of hell are for those who do not distinguish between black and white in times of moral crisis', in other words, if a person suffers injustice on earth, what is the difference between hell and hell?" ”

There are words in the words, touching the scene, this sentence is obviously associated with his own grievances in the American electrical industry, if Cheng Nuo can't hear this kind of voiceover and can't give a clear attitude, Tesla will inevitably have other opinions in his heart, he is past the age of sixtieth birthday, older than Cai Yuanpei, who accompanied the guests, and no one wants to go through this bad experience again in his old age.

Cheng Nuo is well aware of the twists and turns, but his perspective is obviously a little higher, and he will not focus all his attention on one person, even if the other party is the father of alternating current: "Mr. Tesla, if a country suffers injustice, for the local people, it is purgatory on earth, and this situation is playing. For those who can save the people, whether yellow-skinned or white-skinned, that will always be a friend of the land, whether spiritual or material, will not forget him. ”

The flatbread still has to be painted, if the gringos really don't eat this set, then adjust it in time and draw a big pizza for them, I believe there is always one suitable for these people.

With these things to lay a good foundation, it is much easier to talk about other things later, and basically talk about local customs, food, travel and other things, and eliminate some cultural differences as much as possible.

Considering Tesla's age, even if it is a genius, it will grow old one day, and its energy is naturally not as good as that of most young people, especially in the field of scientific research and invention, more youthful and talented.

After arranging for Tesla to rest, Cheng Nuo found Cai Yuanpei again and asked, "Cai Gong, how is it, do you think this Mr. Yang meets your requirements and has entered the eyes of Peking University?" ”

"If you don't know how big is Peking University's vision, how did you come to school?" Cai Yuanpei stood at the door and said with a smile: "If your academy can't accommodate the old man, Peking University can reluctantly make it difficult for you, clean up this mess for you, and help find a place where you can live in your old age." ”

"Eh, Cai Gong's words are wrong, we can overcome our difficulties by ourselves, or how to continue to explore on the road of science." Cheng Nuo stopped the topic, picked up the lunch box in his hand, and said with a smile: "I only saw Cai Gong greeting Mr. Tesla at the table just now, and the chopsticks on the table haven't been moved much, now that it's summer, I sleep late, I'm afraid I'll be hungry later, this is the somen noodles I specially asked the restaurant to send, Cai Gong should eat it quickly, so as not to be lumpy for a while." ”

Jokes are jokes, the other party, as an elder, is more to help Cheng Nuo this time, so as a junior, Cheng Nuo should have the etiquette and care, which is not less at all.

After all, it is summer, and there is a delay on the middle road for a while, which will more or less affect the taste of the noodles, so I specially instructed the restaurant chef that the noodles are hard noodles, and the soup, small ingredients and side dishes are separated, and then mixed again when they are delivered, which can save some delicious food to the greatest extent.

Looking at the plain noodles that had been prepared on the table, Cai Yuanpei was moved, and thought about bringing a new pair of chopsticks: "This person, once he gets older, his appetite is not as young as his peers, I used to be able to eat two bowls of this size by myself, but now I really can't do it, I ate some pads to make up for my stomach at the reception banquet, I really can't finish eating so many noodles, you quickly take some away." ”

Cheng Nuo refused again and again: "Cai Gong, I'm here to deliver food, not to grab food, I didn't eat less just now, now I'm really not hungry, the food is still for you to enjoy, the noodles specially prepared for you, I heard that the whole of Shanghai is delicious at his house." ”

Cai Yuanpei didn't believe much in this, and under Cheng Nuo's persuasion, he still divided half a bowl and handed it over: "It's not easy for farmers to grow some food, it's a shame to waste food, you are still young, digest quickly, it's okay to eat more, maybe you can grow up." ”

Cheng Nuo was helpless, so he had to bring the half bowl over: "Cai Gong, I'm twenty-three, how can it be longer." ”

"Twenty-three, run around, who can say for sure what will happen in the future." Cai Yuanpei smiled, took out the garlic in the lunch box, broke half of it and threw it in front of Cheng Nuo: "If you don't eat garlic when you eat noodles, the taste is half less, don't you mind if I eat it here?" ”

"How can this be, Cai Gong can eat casually, it's not enough for me to have it there." Cheng Nuo smiled, took the lead in peeling one, took a bite of the second half, the unique spicy straight to the nasal cavity, and hurriedly ate the noodles while taking advantage of this strength: "Happy, it's a pity that Mr. Tesla doesn't understand the charm of our diet, I have to say that it's a pity, and then find a way to let him try more, the best way to keep him is to keep his stomach, in front of our good food culture, it is definitely promising." ”

"Having said that, Zhiyuan, how are you going to arrange Tesla, right now Beijing is in chaos, we can't go back for a while, we can only run around outside first." Cai Yuanpei took a bite of noodles, held the bowl and said: "Although Shanghai is good, it is not your base after all, don't be blinded by the prosperity in front of you, the fish and dragons are mixed, the forces of all parties are staggered, the situation is more chaotic, people are floating in things, and the road is difficult to walk." ”

Cheng Nuo put a few drops of chili oil, and after stirring well, the clear soup immediately turned into red soup: "Things are man-made, at present, Shanghai is the largest city in the Far East, the port trade is thriving, and the Academy of Sciences wants to purchase some equipment can not do without it, and then we can talk about water transportation or land transportation, so for now, I am going to establish an electrical association in Shanghai first, and temporarily have a foothold, echoing the north and south, and then developing step by step to the mainland." ”

At present, there are basically few peaceful places in the country, Zhang Xun in Beijing was restored, and Chen Shufan in Shaanxi was also a soldier under Duan Qirui, and now he is being arched by the local gentry, and he will be at peace immediately. In the southwestern border, where the civil war of several major warlords has just begun, it is uncertain when it will end, and if you really want to go, you have to wait for the war situation to become clearer.

The bullet doesn't have a long eye, and if you really fold the talent of a certain academy of sciences in the local area, it will be really regrettable.

In terms of residence, Shanghai has more convenient facilities such as electricity, running water, heating, sanitation, and medical care than China's urban areas, and can build modern housing and enjoy a Western-style lifestyle, which can provide a comfortable living environment for warlords, bureaucrats, Qing Dynasty relics, and young people. Culturally, the Western-style cultural and recreational facilities in the concession, such as movies, dramas, horse racing, sports, Western-style hotels and guesthouses, can meet people's entertainment needs.

If you want to attract Maxima, in addition to the saddle, the necessary stables are also indispensable, otherwise even if people come, they have already enjoyed the convenient life brought by industry in capitalist countries, and then follow Cheng Nuo and them to squat on the dry toilet, it is easy to scare away some foreign noses who are not firm.

Warm water frogs also have to have a boiling process, and when the local academy of sciences builds the area, they won't have a chance to run.

Looking at the red soup, Cai Yuanpei also wanted to put some chili peppers, but when he picked up the bottle, he was choked by the spicy taste, hesitated for a moment or put it down, poured a few drops of vinegar and put it in the bowl, and took a sip, which was also delicious: "The monarch of the ancient kingdom, there are people who ask for thousands of miles with thousands of gold, and the president of the Academy of Sciences today can also follow the sages and ask for scientific workers from all countries to strengthen themselves." ”

was spicy, his face was flushed, Cheng Nuo ripped off his collar: "A thousand dollars buy horse bones, not to mention that this horse can run thousands of miles, no matter how you look at it, we are not at a loss, and it seems that we are a corporal of Lixian, and then I want to take this matter as an example, and continue to invite some 'persecuted' scientists from other countries, with this number one, I believe that it will not be too late for the number two to come." ”

Cai Yuanpei peeled the garlic in his hand, took a bite of garlic and a mouthful of noodles, and enjoyed it slowly, but after eating it for a while, he felt that something was wrong, and put the garlic down again: "In this way, your academy of sciences is fragmented, how can we engineering students of Peking University take Mr. Tesla's class, we can't come to Shanghai, let's count it, and it can be regarded as your kid's dang, which is different from what we said at the beginning." ”

Cheng Nuo hurriedly brought over the rest of the various side dishes and put them in front of Cai Yuanpei, with a smile on his face: "Cai Gong, come on, come on, this is the salty food I specially wanted, authentic Zhejiang, we were in Beijing, but we couldn't eat this." ”

Cai Yuanpei felt that this kid had a ghost in his heart at a glance, no wonder he drank a mouthful of noodle soup, it was so sour: "Don't mind, I have all the salty food sent by my hometown, if you want to eat it, I will bring it to you, and you can't be sloppy about cooperation." ”

Cheng Nuo put the side dishes away and explained: "Cai Gong, you can rest assured, the side dishes are just side dishes, and the Electrical Association is also an Electrical Association, which will not affect the things mentioned earlier." ”

Seeing this, Cai Yuanpei ate a small piece of side dish, and his tone was suspicious: "Don't be sloppy with me, I know your family, if you coax me, next time you will bring not salty tofu, but stinky tofu." ”

"Haha, when the time comes, I want salty tofu, and I want stinky tofu." Cheng Nuo scooped up all the noodles in the bowl, leaving only some green onions and coriander floating on it, and said with a smile: "In addition to the focus of the Academy of Sciences is Beijing, Peking University can also recruit a batch of good seedlings, and the Electrical Association can cultivate them on behalf of them. ”

Cai Yuanpei couldn't help but nod Cheng Nuo, and said helplessly: "You, are you Peking University paying salaries, coming forward to recruit people, and then turning the road south and coming to Shanghai to work for you for nothing?" ”

Cheng Nuo's head shook like a rattle, and he couldn't help laughing: "Cai Gong's words are too foreign, you don't need to go south, turn to the east is the new land of our Academy of Sciences, it doesn't need to go so far, whether it is for both of us or for those young teachers, it is of great significance, a win-win situation." ”

In the end, the two simply replaced the wine with noodle soup, one young and one old, one spicy and one sour, to end this special somen feast.

Early the next morning, Cheng Nuo sent a telegram to the "New Youth" and "National" magazines in Beijing, publicizing the news of Tesla's visit to China in a high-profile manner, encouraging young people in China who are interested in the development of science that the future is visible and worth going.

At the same time, Cheng Nuo, through Huang Yanpei, Cai Yuanpei, Zhang Jian, Chen Jiageng and others, with the help of their relationship, held a grand reception party in the local area.

If you want to say that before holding the reception party, you are not afraid of the enemy's assassination, and if you are not afraid of it, it is a lie, people have a life, and there are so many worries in this life, and they should cherish their lives more than before, not because they are afraid of death, but because they are afraid that death is worthless, then it is too much of a loss.

But Cheng Nuo's life cannot always be scientific research, and if he wants to make greater results, he needs more funds, and the government at this time can't count on it at all, so the Academy of Sciences needs to fend for itself. And if you want more funds, you need a bigger industry, it's your turn to be on the money, it's okay to say that the hour is good, but the cake will attract more flies, and then only the power of the literati will not be enough to deal with it.

In the final analysis, the Academy of Sciences is also composed of people, and it is indispensable to pull the relationship and pull the mountain, with the help of the city of Shanghai and Tesla, it is simply self-contained in the country, slowly absorbing other forces, and it is too inefficient to take the initiative to invite people one by one, so it is better to let these people rely on themselves.

In a certain big hotel, Cheng Nuo wore a dress, shuttled through the crowd, greeting the "upper-class people" who came.

"Mr. Fan Sun, I haven't seen you for a long time, we haven't seen each other again after the last time the China Vocational Education Society said goodbye, rest assured, I have a very good relationship with Mr. Boling, and I will definitely strengthen cooperation with Nankai School in the future, in addition to sports, we must also engage in science education." This is Yan Xiu, who founded the Nankai series of schools with Zhang Boling, and later wanted to accept Zhou Gong as his son-in-law, but unfortunately fate did not arrive, but even so, he was also called the "father of Nankai".

"Ma Lao, your body looks still tough, who doesn't know the truth can associate you with people who are almost old, don't worry, don't look at me young, I'm also exercising, I will definitely go to Fudan Public School to give a lecture when I have time." What, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, and you want me to go tomorrow? Okay, okay, I promise you the old words, and when the time comes, I will also bring the gymnastics I promoted, and continue to carry forward your exercise spirit. "This is Ma Xiangbo, who single-handedly founded Aurora, Fudan, and Furen, and he is still in good spirits at the age of 77.

"Mr. Hu, I didn't expect to meet you here, I remember that you were in charge of academic affairs in some of the student affairs offices, and it was you who personally sent us students who studied abroad to the ship, and became a teacher for one day and a father for life, I salute you for this glass of wine. Hey, invite me to give a lecture at Datong University, this time is estimated to be busy, rest assured, I will never shirk, I will definitely go back to visit you before the end of the month, and you will not be disgusted when the time comes. This is Hu Dunfu, who single-handedly founded the private Datong University, which was known as "the north has the south and the south has Datong", and it was the first private university after the Xinhai Revolution, and it has trained more than 30 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

In addition to the above three people, many of them are old friends who have met before, but they all have a relationship before, and they have not said much, and now they are gathered together, such as Hu Mingfu, Yang Xingfo, Ding Wenjiang, etc., many people have been high-ranking officials in the government at the beginning, but later they are not used to its darkness, and seek other ways to pursue their ideals.

It's a pity that in terms of fame, he is not as good as Cheng Nuo at the moment, and he has to take the initiative to lower his glasses, which makes Cheng Nuo a little helpless.

Slow state, will be made up later.
