"Gong Cai, I won't go there later."

Finding a place where no one was paying attention, Hu Shi straightened his upper body suit and said politely.

Cai Yuanpei cocked his beard and said with a smile: "When young people have talent, they have to be sharp, or what is the difference between them and us old men who are about to die, the golden mean is not the choice that should be made at this age." ”

A crampedness flashed on Hu Shi's face, and then quickly disappeared, and his face returned to the previous cloud and breeze: "What Gong Cai said is very true, but I have already made an appointment with several ladies and ladies of the public family to teach Western etiquette lessons, and it is not the way of a gentleman to miss the appointment at this time." ”

Cai Yuanpei shook his head, and then stopped admonishing: "It's okay, naturally you have other arrangements, then you should be busy with your first, just pay more attention to everything, it's not a good thing to fall in love with fat powder before, otherwise you will have more fat and less muscles." ”

"The sage Zeng Yun has no class, when I teach, whether it is Mrs. or Miss, they are just my students, Cai Gong is too worried." Hu Shi's face was full of confidence, and he said with a smile: "I'll see Professor Cheng later, and ask Cai Gong to help me explain, I have something to do for the time being, and I will definitely visit me another day." ”

After saying this, Hu Shi arched his hand, walked towards the rickshaw that had been waiting for a long time, and left firmly in the distance.

Looking at this distant back, the smile on Cai Yuanpei's face gradually turned solemn, and he didn't know how long it took before he was willing to sigh.

"Alas, the Tao is not the same, the ambition is not the same, the ...... of this day"

But if you think about it carefully, Peking University is much more incompatible, and these two people are already extremely good compared to them.

Hey, that's a bittersweet experience.

Just thinking about Peking University all the way, it didn't take long for Cai Yuanpei to come to the previously agreed place.

After looking at the plaque on it and making sure that there was no mistake, he lifted the skirt of the robe and calmly entered.

Cheng Nuo, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, saw the main owner come in, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him with a smile: "Hey young Cai Gong, you can count it as coming, if you don't come again, the food will be cold, and the taste will change." ”

Cai Yuanpei raised his eyebrows: "Just the two of us, could it be that what is waiting for me upstairs is the Hongmen Banquet, surrounded by sword and axe hands on the left and right?" ”

"Look at what you said, if you really want to hold a Hongmen banquet, you will also go back to my courtyard, call the children who go to school left and right, and welcome you in the middle of the road!" Cheng Nuo's face was polite, he looked behind Cai Yuanpei, and after making sure that he hadn't found Hu Shi, he wondered, "Why didn't you see Dr. Hu?" ”

Cai Yuanpei shook his head helplessly: "There is something important here, so I specially asked me to apologize to you, saying that I will visit you in person another day." ”

Cheng Nuo suddenly realized and said with a smile: "It's okay, Dr. Hu is a busy man, don't bother him anymore." ”

Cai Yuanpei sighed, didn't say anything anymore, and walked straight upstairs.

Chinese have always liked to talk about business at the dinner table, even if they are scholars.

Although Cheng Nuo had already eaten when he came out, after the toss just now, he had almost digested it.

After about two minutes of effort, Cheng Nuo went straight to the point: "Cai Gong, I don't know what you think of Peking University and Aviation School?" ”

Cai Yuanpei took off his glasses, picked up a handkerchief and wiped it slowly: "Peking University is not my Cai Yuanpei's hall, even as a president, even if I can agree, it has to be voted by the professors' council." ”

"Cai Gong tasted their tea, although it is not a big brand, but it also tastes unique. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is fragrant. Cheng Nuo poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Theoretically, although Peking University is as you said, in terms of influence, no one in Peking University can compare with you." ”

Cai Yuanpei's hand that was wiping his glasses suddenly froze, and after not knowing what to think, he resumed his movements, but the speed was much slower: "You mean, you have to pester me?" ”

Cheng Nuo did not answer this question directly, but stood up and came to the side of the window facing the street, and said slowly: "As far as I know, the mathematicians of Peking University should strengthen the science and engineering experiment course at the request of Hu Renyuan, the president at the time, and add physics experiments and chemistry experiments.

This means that the study of mathematics will help them to cooperate academically with scholars in the fields of physics and engineering, and even add astrology, that is, astronomy, which in my opinion has laid a good foundation for aviation school students to study in advance.

Why don't we, who have already come to the door, take a step further and push open this door that is enough to change the course of history? ”

Cai Yuanpei was speechless for a while, and at the same time put his glasses and handkerchief aside, seriously thinking about the possibility of this matter.

Cheng Nuo was not in a hurry, opened the window, and waited quietly for the other party's reply in the cool breeze, and his thoughts drifted farther and farther away with the clouds in the sky.

It is not so much a cooperation with Peking University, but a cooperation with the School of Engineering of Peking University.

Due to Cheng Nuo's reasons, this student, who should have been banned by Cai Yuanpei because of financial problems, has survived until now, but the situation is not too optimistic, due to the large cost, long investment, slow results, and tired study, there is still an existential crisis.

As the "initiator" of changing history, Cheng Nuo certainly has the responsibility to bear all this.

And his goal is to work hard step by step against this bad historical background to move the other engineering college closer to the future Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and even eat the entire college in the future.

In the US-Soviet arms race, the research center that became the United States' cutting-edge military technology, which was at the forefront of electronics at that time, and research institutes engaged in radar, missile guidance, and navigation systems were established one after another.

At the same time, a large number of high-tech enterprises were spun off from themselves, and in the 60s alone, 175 new enterprises were created in 4 research institutes and 3 engineering faculties of MIT.

It wasn't until the later 70s that MIT, which transformed the field of small computers and led the development, directly drove Boston Highway 128 and even Massachusetts out of the quagmire of recession, creating the world-renowned "Massachusetts Miracle".

It was this excellent combination of production, education and research that helped the United States win the Cold War, and the science and technology of the Soviet Union and the United States could have competed with the United States, but the key weakness was the separation of military and civilian use, and excellent military technology could not be transformed into civilian technology, resulting in its gradual economic imbalance until a fiasco.

No matter how good the clouds are, they are just another form of rootless duckweed, flying around, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is empty talk.

Cheng Nuo shook his head and threw some unrealistic ideas behind him.

Although it is very difficult to do these things in the context of the current turbulent times, it is not without a glimmer of opportunity.

Close the windows and the hustle and bustle of the street comes to an abrupt end.

"Cai Gong, the reform of the academic system is not just a matter of mathematics, since it is ready to change the three-year preparatory department and three years of undergraduate to two years of preparatory department and four years of undergraduate, it means that the development of various discipline systems will usher in a new stage, and the establishment of compulsory and elective courses is also a big challenge for the original faculty of Peking University.

In the past, you have repeatedly asked the Academy of Sciences to help the Second Academy of Industry and Agriculture, and today I can give you a clear answer, including flight dynamics, aerodynamics, meteorology, fluid mechanics and other subjects, the Academy of Sciences can do it without reservation, and ensure that the teaching content is at the forefront of the world. ”

Cai Yuanpei's eyes shone brightly: "Is this true? ”

Cheng Nuo said with a smile: "In addition, the books and related equipment purchased by our Academy of Sciences in the future can also be opened to Peking University, what about Cai Gongyi?" ”

Cai Yuanpei put on his glasses again: "Naturally, I have nothing to say, and I support it wholeheartedly." ”

Cheng Nuo struck while the iron was hot: "As for the difficulty of engineering students? ”

Cai Yuanpei smiled and said: "To untie the bell, you must tie the bell." ”

Randomly, there was a jovial laugh in the private room.

In fact, it's not that Cai Yuanpei deliberately let Cheng Nuo, it's just that the School of Mathematics is too short of people.

After the reform, the curriculum of the Department of Mathematics of Peking University is very complicated, and some subjects are light or not necessary for university mathematics majors. For example, the one-time morphology method, morphology and linear geometry are not mainstream international specialized subjects and are not important for university mathematics students.

There are even some unnecessary elementary astronomy, spherical and applied astronomy, fluid mechanics, celestial mechanics, etc., which are all subject subjects in astronomy at the university.

At that time, Peking University had related courses but no astronomy department, which was too chicken for students in the mathematics department.

Later, it was even outrageous enough to set up high-profile cutting-edge physics subjects such as relativity theory and quantum theory, but because the level of teachers at that time was not enough, the quality of students was not high, and the teaching results were very poor.

However, it was some unnecessary disciplines that occupied a large number of teachers, resulting in a long-term shortage of set theory, and important subjects such as variational method, differential geometry, and functional monographs were temporarily absent, which had an unnecessary negative impact on the mathematics teaching of Peking University at that time.

Of course, the reason why Cai Yuanpeiken spends so much effort on mathematics is because in terms of disciplines, he attaches great importance to both arts and sciences, and especially attaches great importance to mathematics in science.

Therefore, for a large number of mathematical talents represented by Cheng Nuo who are willing to contribute to Peking University, other things are insignificant in front of this.

A few days later, in the early hours of the morning, Cheng Nuo, who was working hard to compile teaching materials in the courtyard, was suddenly awakened by a rapid knock on the door.

"Who, what's the matter?" Cheng Nuo put down the pen, got up and went over to open the door.

"Sir, I'm Lao Li." Running all the way, Li Laosan was out of breath, took off his hat and fanned the wind: "Outside...... A few young people came outside, about the same age as Mr., and said that they were also from our Academy of Sciences, and they came to find you, Sir. ”

】

Cheng Nuo asked, "Where did you come from, did you say what was called?" ”

Li Laosan swallowed and foamed: "The leader said that his surname was Ba, and he was from Shanghai." But because of the noodles, I didn't dare to let them in, so I let them wait outside first. ”

"It turned out that Yunhua and they arrived, these are all their own people, hurry up and invite them over." Cheng Nuo heard this, and instantly said happily: "Forget it, I'll go with you, I haven't seen them for a few days." ”

Stopping Li Laosan, who was about to leave, Cheng Nuo rushed forward first, and the joy was difficult to hide.

Li Laosan was a little distressed when he saw it: "Sir, don't just wear a vest, it's cold in the morning, don't freeze." ”

I thought about catching up with him, but I turned back halfway through the run, and when I came to Cheng Nuo's house, I picked up my coat and rushed out: "Let's wear another dress, otherwise I won't be able to stand it." ”

It's a pity that Cheng Nuo's physical fitness is much higher than that of ordinary people, and when Li Laosan rushed over, he had already seen Cheng Nuo entertaining Ba Yuzao and others.

"Yunhua, you have been tired all the way, you must have a good rest."

Ba Yuzao rubbed his nose and grinned: "What is the tiredness of such a little road, there is a lot of energy on my body, I received a telegram from the dean, I immediately packed up my equipment, counted the number of people, and rushed over, for fear of missing your big event, sir." ”

Wang Zhu added: "Although the time is a little rushed, the equipment and workers are all selected by us to ensure that they meet the requirements of the job." ”

"Work aside, the main task at the moment is to entertain you well." Cheng Nuo smiled and brought them in.

Seeing Wang Zhu wearing a single coat, the autumn wind blew, and he shivered a little from the cold.

Cheng Nuo took the clothes sent by Li Laosan and took the initiative to put them on Wang Zhu.

"Dean, this ......" Wang Zhu couldn't react for a while, and was a little cramped.

When he came to his senses, he had been held down by Cheng Nuo, and put on his clothes smoothly: "After all, Shanghai and Beijing are one south and one north, and the difference is still quite big, and it is not easy to adapt to the climate, so hurry up and put on your clothes." ”

Wang Zhu still wanted to struggle: "But I wore it, what are you wearing?" ”

Cheng Nuo showed off the muscles on his arm and said with a smile: "I have this, you can wear it honestly, if you fall ill, who do I ask for the plane?" ”

Saying that, Cheng Nuo also shouted to Li Laosan who was on the side: "Lao Li, these are all our comrades from Shanghai, and they have probably suffered a lot along the way, but you can't fall ill at the door of your home, you go and pay attention to some soup to ward off the cold." ”

Li Laosan bowed slightly: "Okay." ”

Then he bowed his hand to the crowd and walked towards the kitchen.

Seeing that Cheng Nuo cared so much about them, the fatigue on Ba Yuzao's body was swept away, and he couldn't wait to immediately plunge into the big event of building an airplane.

"Dean, you can arrange the work directly, we can't get any illness if we sweat."

Wang Zhu, who was dressed in Cheng Nuo's coat, was also very moved: "Yunhua is right, our biggest rest is to touch our man-made plane, this hard work is nothing." ”

Cheng Nuo smiled and waved his hand, jokingly: "We don't just build a plane and finish the job, there is more work in the back, now you say don't rest, you will regret it in the future." ”

Ba Yuzao also joked: "You can't rest on the ground, then we will drive the plane to the sky to rest, and then you can't whip the dean."
