"Mr. Tesla still has research on aero engines?" Ba Yuzao couldn't believe it.

In the cognition of these people, although Nikola Tesla is an all-round inventor, people's energy is limited, and it is impossible to cover everything.

In this world, however, the general rule does not apply to geniuses.

After reading the design drawings of the aircraft, Cheng Nuo sorted them out and returned them to the two of them, with a mysterious smile on his face: "If you don't say it, I invited him over to be the dean of your Academy of Applied Engineering, but he is not only a mascot, but his role in the military field is also far beyond ordinary people." ”

As a member of the American Society of Automaton, Wang Zhu seems to have heard some rumors in the United States, and he dare not confirm it: "Through the official organization of the United States, I seem to know the engine you mentioned, Professor Cheng, and I heard that this is a lower power consumption, less than one-fifth of the weight of the 'Liberty brand', and the performance is quite superior." ”

The so-called "Liberty" engine, that is, the aero engine developed by the American Packard Automobile Company, was installed on the .4 bomber in World War I.

However, the installation of fuel tanks in this way also greatly threatens the life safety of pilots, so it is also ridiculed as a "flying coffin that can burn".

It is such an aircraft, after World War I, the United States let it serve until the 30s of the 20th century, and it has been adopted by more than 10 countries in the middle, including the Soviet Union, and our country's Northeast Air Force has also introduced many aircraft.

As an insider, although Ba Yuzao admires Tesla's talent, he does not blindly follow its reputation, especially in such a main American engine, he is even more cautious: "So which planes did the aircraft engine designed by the president of Tesla himself be installed on?" ”

Cheng Nuo shrugged, shook his head and said: "It's a pity that the US Aviation Commission thinks that the data on paper needs to be demonstrated, but Europe is fighting fiercely, and the most precious thing is time, so they can only choose to put it on hold, and the cooperation has not yet been signed." ”

Ba Yuzao pinched his chin with one hand and thought seriously: "In other words, this engine still only exists on paper, and the actual effect is still unknown to everyone?" ”

Cheng Nuo did not face this problem directly, but asked: "Is it also possible to say that it is precisely because the US National Space Commission did not recognize its value that it has become an opportunity for us to pick up leaks and even surpass it?" ”

"But......" Ba Yuzao instinctively wanted to refute, but when he thought that it was Tesla who designed the aircraft engine, not a man who could be described by common sense, he clenched his fist and let go weakly: "Scientific research needs a process of argumentation, and I reserve my opinion." ”

Wang Zhu patted his friend's shoulder and comforted: "If it is in other fields, it is better to say, but in the field of scientific research, the role of genius will be exponentially magnified, and the distance between people is greater than the distance between people and dogs." ”

For this attitude of daring to question, Cheng Nuo appreciates it very much: "There is a specialization in the art industry, and we are all people of the same organization in the future, you have time to discuss and verify, leave the problems on the ground to solve, and don't go to heaven with illness, of course, scientific research is also a process of continuous abandonment, but you don't have to obey authority."

At the moment, we have been chatting here for a long time, and the time is not early, first have a meal, and then move to the hotel with me, and then you can start the preparatory work for the construction of the aircraft, and if there is anything that cannot be solved in the middle, you can also come to me at any time, and it is more convenient to communicate face-to-face. ”

Hearing this, both of them nodded seriously, and their confidence in the future was even stronger.

"Okay, Professor Cheng, the two of us will treat you to this meal first."

"Hey~ Don't say who invites who to eat in advance, do you change your words first?"

"I forgot again, I should call you Dean Cheng."

"No, everyone in our academy is equal, no one should have a higher status than whom, no need to be called 'you', everyone calls each other 'comrade' on weekdays, and those who have the same ambition are comrades in their own country."

"Yes, Comrade Dean Cheng."

"It's also a help, hey, Comrade Yunhua, why are your leather shoes broken, I remember that they were fine just now, and it doesn't affect you when you walk, right?"

"It's okay, I was just stoned just now, and I can continue to wear it when I go back to make up for ......it."

……

At the same time, somewhere downtown in Shanghai.

There was a child on the street who clutched the corner of his mother's clothes tightly, and said in a milky voice: "Mom, there is a strange uncle over there, who has been watching me laughing, and the smile is so scary." ”

The mother is still haggling with the roadside vendors, and the child's words are automatically filtered.

"Look at your cucumber, there are so many thorns, how can people take it back and eat it, if it can be cheaper, I will buy more, with such a big sun, it is not easy for you."

It is precisely because it is not easy to sell vegetables in a hot day, and the profit from selling vegetables is meager, so the vendor does not want to reduce the price: "This young lady, this prickly cucumber is fresh, I don't believe it still has yellow flowers on its head, it has only been a few hours since it was picked, and the water is tender, go back and slice it and sprinkle it with sugar to make a plate of cold dishes." ”

My mother knows this common sense, and she wants to go back and lie on the chair, blowing the newly bought "Watson" brand electric fan, and eating cucumbers in her mouth, not to mention how much she enjoys it. But out of the psychology of taking advantage, I really don't want to just forget it: "I see that you still sell garlic, so let's do it, I'll get five catties of cucumbers, how about you send a few heads of garlic?" ”

The vendor was a little helpless: "This garlic is more expensive than cucumbers, for the sake of the extra you buy, I will give you a few." ”

The child on the other side didn't get a response, so he took the adult's hand and shook it more and more, and finally made the mother have to turn back, and said impatiently: "Didn't I just buy you snacks, why are you going to serve it again, I see that you are not greedy, but your butt is itchy!" ”

With tears in his eyes, the child pitifully pointed to the tree not far away: "Mom, there is a strange uncle in that place, who keeps smiling at me, and I'm so scared." ”

Pointing to my mother's gaze, there was indeed a bearded, dirty-clad man, smiling at me.

Maybe he saw that an adult here had discovered the situation, and the strange man quickly lowered his head and covered it with the big board around him, so that he couldn't see what he was doing.

It's hard not to suspect this strange behavior, and the mother directly thinks of it as a child trafficker, and her face is quickly filled with worry and fear.

As soon as the cucumber has been weighed, hold the child and hurry away.

"Baby, don't look over there, Mom will take you home, and when Dad comes back, clean up the bad guys."

"Miss, this cucumber is wrapped, why is it gone? Miss, Miss ......"

Seeing that the business was yellow again, the vendor still didn't understand what was going on, but it was the ghost of the "weirdo", who saw that his customers were furious over there, and he didn't know how many were scared away.

Now the peddler could not bear it any longer, and picked up the scale pole in one hand and the weighing stone in the other, and was about to settle accounts with the strange man.

The strange man seemed to understand that it was him, and when he saw the peddler coming, he picked up the plank around him and ran away, without bringing his head back.

The peddler originally wanted to continue chasing, but then he thought that he still had a stall, so he had to give up temporarily after chasing a few steps, scolding in his mouth.

"*&#...... I %"

On the other side, the strange man was quite experienced and ran for more than ten minutes, and he didn't dare to look behind at all, for fear of turning back, someone would catch up and beat him up.

It wasn't until a street corner that the strange man couldn't run anymore, and he was panting with his hands on his knees, and when he saw through the gap between his legs that no one was catching up, he was willing to rest against the wall.

"I ...... Call...... I just want to write a life, why is it so difficult, like it's going to kill me. ”

It turns out that the weirdo is none other than Wan Laiming, who is currently learning to paint.

According to Cheng Nuo's talent policy, it is generally discovered to the Academy of Sciences, and given high-standard treatment and future development direction, as for the details, he generally does not interfere too much, as long as it deviates from the right track, the result is good.

In this regard, Cheng Nuo's opinion is that in the treatment of these historical geniuses, too many rules and regulations may limit their development ceiling, which is far better than giving development goals and allowing them to grow freely. It is enough to cut off the excess branches in the middle and point the right direction at the pass.

Moreover, in the future, the Academy of Sciences will absorb more people, and everyone will have him to carry it by hand, which is unrealistic.

But in this way, it will be bitter represented by Wan Laiming, who has a poor professional foundation in the early stage.

"Hey, the dean also said, let me learn the art of painting first, and then take me to make a movie when the time is right, but he didn't tell me how to learn it, although there is only one word difference between animation and Chinese painting, but one of them is moving, the other is static, and the difference is gone."

"I just wanted to see how people in my life moved, but they all treated me like a weirdo, I was almost beaten several times, and my clothes were torn by dogs."

Wan Laiming thought of the recent encounter, which was physically and mentally exhausted, leaning against the wall, his body slid to the ground little by little, and he sat directly on the ground in despair.

Historically, when Wan Laiming started to make animation, it was mainly because there were more mature films from other countries on the market, and China was still in a blank period.

Their most classic animated feature film, which is also the first animated feature film "Iron Fan Princess" in China and even Asia, although it has a background in the style of Chinese landscape painting and absorbs the advantages of Chinese opera art, but from the actions and modeling design of characters such as Monkey King, Disney's shadow can still be seen more or less.

And now that Disney has not yet been established, there is not even a shadow to be found, let alone in China, even in the whole world, there are no mature cartoons to refer to.

If you want to be a pioneer in history, you must swing a knife to cut a way.

Just when Wan Laiming lowered his head and was thinking about where to go next to "sketch" so that there would be no risk of being beaten.

Suddenly, I heard a few crisp rings of bells in front of me, and when I looked up and opened my eyes, I saw that several copper plates had fallen.

didn't have time to see who fell out, Wan Laiming hurriedly spoke: "Which gentleman or young lady accidentally dropped the money?" ”

As he spoke, he also helped to pick it up.

Surprisingly, the people around him were far away from him, looking at him with strange expressions, many of them kind-hearted, with a little pity on their faces.

"No, I don't want this money, although it's small, I can buy two buns with big meat filling." Wan Laiming picked up the money on the ground, and his mouth was very puzzled.

When he picked up all the money and blew the dirt in his hand, he suddenly found a pair of feet wearing cotton shoes standing in front of him.

Looking down his trouser leg, it was a young man who was as gentle as jade, with a kind and friendly smile on his face.

Seeing that Wan Laiming had discovered himself, the young man said gently: "Little brother, I gave you this money to buy buns, but I didn't expect to be blinded by the wind and sand just now, and I slipped on the ground carelessly, not intentionally to trample on your dignity." ”

Seeing this person, Wan Laiming looked at him in disbelief, holding the money and staring at him blankly, without blinking his eyes.

"Brother, isn't it enough, that's what I said, when you're so old, I can eat three bowls of rice without vegetables, how can I eat two buns, and give you a few copper plates, remember, you are not allowed to gamble with this money, and you are not allowed to smoke big cigarettes."

As he spoke, the young man took out his purse and prepared to take out a few more copper plates.

Unexpectedly, this Wan Laiming suddenly hugged the young man's thigh tightly like crazy, and tears flowed down his nose and tears, and he was so excited that he couldn't say anything at all.

"Old ...... Teacher...... Woo...... Xiao Wan really misses you so much, so ...... It's been a long time since I've seen you, no ...... I didn't expect to see you on the street......"

Snot and tears and sweat stains on his face were wiped directly on the young man's body.

Seeing this, passers-by avoided it further, watching this scene and discussing it.

"This baby is young, why is there something wrong with his head, alas, what a pity."

"Fortunately, it's far away, otherwise it will be glued, but it will be bad luck, and you will have to lose a piece of meat if you bite you."

"Alas, you're all right, young man, if I call a few people to push this little beggar away, your clothes are ruined."

What puzzled everyone present was that the young man didn't push away the little beggar in their eyes, that is, Wan Laiming.

Slowly bent down, at the height of Wan Laiming, holding his face and seriously wiping away tears, snot and sweat stains one by one, brushing away the scattered hair, revealing Wan Laiming's true appearance, and then said in surprise on his face: "Xiao Wan, is it really you?" ”

"It's me, it's me, I'm Xiao Wan, Wan Laiming."

Looking at Wan Laiming's "down-and-out" appearance, the young man was a little distressed, and stroked his head indiscriminately.

"But why are you like this now?"

Wan Laiming saw that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "It's not what you imagined, Mr. Tao." ”

Yes, his teacher is Tao Xingzhi.

It is also the most indispensable one in the education planning of Chengnuo Primary School.
