The next day.

At sunrise, everything in the house is immersed in the glimmer of the morning light,

Sunlight shines through the windows and onto the floor, casting a golden glow that brings life to the room.

"Uh-huh......"

Monson awoke from his sleep.

Because the sunrise in Stockholm is earlier than in Berlin, my mind is still a little dizzy.

He closed his eyes and thought to himself,

If you want to adjust for jet lag, those scientists shouldn't have woken up yet, right?

After a while, there was a knock at the door outside,

"Sir?"

The waiter is calling early.

This was a request that Monson made yesterday, fearing that he would oversleep.

He said angrily, "Okay, got it." ”

The waiter asked, "Do you need a meal?" ”

Monson replied, "I'll go to the restaurant myself, and I won't have to ask you for help." ”

The waiter answered and left.

Monson stood in front of the mirror and dressed slowly, trying to keep his clothes ironed to make himself look more energetic.

Today, he wants to have a good "chat" with Lu Shi,

In the face of young people, we must not fall behind in image and demeanor.

I don't know how long I ink again, and there was a knock on the door again,

"Teacher?"

This time it was Friedrich Mennick, a student of Monson.

Monson went over and opened the door,

"Enter."

As soon as Menik stepped through the door, he couldn't help but froze at the sight of the teacher's dress.

I saw Monson wearing a brown suit, because of the long time, the brown was rinsed lighter, and it looked like yellow.

The most disastrous thing is that Monson also wore a red tie,

Bright red and yellow complement each other, like a beautiful landscape.

At this time, Monson was still combing his hair,

He's trying to flatten his unkempt hair,

"Free, what kind of hair oil do you like to use?"

Menik was stunned,

"Si Stankang."

"Tsk......"

Meng Sen was slightly stunned, and said that he could still keep up with the trend, and said with a smile: "Oh, I also use Stankang." ”

Menik was so uncomfortable that he ate a fly,

I must have thrown Si Dankang away when I turned around!

He asked, "Teacher, why are you dressed up so much today?" I don't know, I thought I won the Nobel ...... cough cough cough ......"

Monson frowned,

"What's the cough? It's so cold in Sweden, I told you to wear more clothes, did you catch a cold? ”

Mennick "Mmmmmmmm

Less to say and less to be wrong,

Not to mention good.

Monson shook his head,

"You're really the same as before, not good at words. Let's go to the restaurant. It's still early, and those French and British people don't adjust to the jet lag well, so they shouldn't have gotten up, and we can eat quietly. ”

The two of them left together and headed to the restaurant.

Unexpectedly, the restaurant was unusually noisy,

When I opened the door, I could see that it was full of people, about two hundred.

They all have one thing in common –

Have a drowsy look.

Monson ran head-on into his colleague at the University of Berlin, Emil Fischer.

Fischer had obvious dark circles around his eyes, as if he hadn't been rested enough after a night of tossing and turning.

His face was devoid of his usual vigor and radiance, replaced by a kind of depression and tiredness.

Monson: ???

"Emir? Are you swollen? ”

Fischer was thinking about life, and he didn't hear it,

He scooped the soup into the bowl with a large spoon, looking absent-minded, his eyes were distracted, and his mind was not on the food at all.

As a result, a hand was sprinkled.

Monson stepped forward,

"Emir!"

Fischer still looked depressed, his eyes hollow, and he looked at Monsen: "Why...... Why don't you finish reading ......?"

It's like a demon.

Monson grabbed his opponent's shoulders, ready to shake them to their senses.

At this time, there was a discussion not far away,

"It's Planck! He's coming! ”

"Huh? What about Professor Lu? Didn't come? ”

"I want to watch "Chaowen Dao"!"

……

Follow the prestige.

In the midst of the boisterous crowd, Planck was surrounded by a group.

Someone said, "Professor Planck, you have read "The Way of the Pilgrimage", what is the end of the last chapter? ”

As soon as his words fell, he was reprimanded by others:

"You want to be spoiled!?"

"Ah......h

The former suddenly had nothing to say.

So, they pinned their hopes on Planck, and cast their eyes full of hope.

Planck watched as the scientists gathered around like zombies, and suddenly he was full of big men.

Just like a flat boat in the waves, he was pushed and his feet were "offset" without touching the ground, so he had to raise his voice and shout: "Professor Lu is in the garden!" He's chatting with Patek Philippe's manager, Mr. Joseph Philippe~"

Just sold Lu Shi like this.

Boom Boom –

Scientists rushed to the door,

Monson and Mennick were also carried towards the garden.

……

Stockholm Grand Hotel,

Garden.

The weather is cold, and the scenery in the garden becomes withered and depressed,

The trees have lost most of their leaves, and the wind blows the branches, taking away the last of their life.

Lu Shi and Philip stood in the sun,

The two were chatting.

Philip's eyes were full of gratitude,

"Professor Lu, thank you so much for what happened before. After the buffet, many of the merchants who attended the meeting bought Patek Philippe timepieces, but ......"

He put on a distressed expression,

"Mostly table clocks."

Lu Shi laughed,

"Well, normal."

In addition to the main function of the table clock, it can also be placed in the store as a decoration.

Merchants buy things, but they are still somewhat utilitarian.

Philip said: "That soft advertising was the most successful advertisement in the world. ”

Lu Shi waved his hand,

"Not really."

After all, he has traveled through time and seen the world,

Like "Nongfu Spring is a little sweet", "Hengyuanxiang, sheep and sheep", "Receiving gifts only receives brain platinum", that can be regarded as a success.

Of course, it's not all this kind of brainwashing advertising that can succeed.

For example, the Hope Project,

The big eyes of the little girl in that black and white photo, the strong visual impact not only makes people remember deeply, but also triggers the softest part of the heart.

With so many examples in the past, Lu Shi will not judge his advertising as "the most successful".

Philip felt that Lu Shi was modest,

He lowered his voice,

"Professor Lu, can you think of an advertising slogan for Patek Philippe?"

The soaring turnover during this period of time made him understand a truth -

The aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys.

Not only is the product good, but the marketing has to keep up.

Lu Shi was surprised,

"Why so suddenly?"

Philip replied: "I listened to your instructions and prepared six pocket watches for the Nobel laureate this time." ”

Lu Shi was surprised,

"Six?"

Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, Peace Prize,

Adding up, there are only five categories.

Philip smiled,

"And one more for you, the uncrowned lord of the Nobel Prize."

He handed over a watch box.

Lu Shi was speechless,

"This ......"

Philip lowered his voice,

"Professor Lu, your piece is different from others, it is a gold watch. And on the cover, we've engraved your initials, 'L·S'. And on the back, we also engraved a profile portrait of Mr. Nobel. ”

This is the only piece in the world,

This thing is a monumental significance.

As for the price......

Lu Shi smiled and looked at the other party.

With just one look, Philip knew that his little abacus had seen through it.

With Lu Shi's current reputation, I am afraid that the quotation for writing advertising words will start from 1,000 pounds.

And Patek Philippe's pocket watches, no matter how valuable they are, are unlikely to sell for a four-figure sky-high price.

But Philip, from a watchmaker to a businessman, has long been trained to be cheeky,

"Professor Lu, please~"

As he spoke, he stuffed the watch to Lu Shi.

Lu Shi was not disgusted, he pondered for a moment, and said:

“

No one can really own Patek Philippe, just keep it for the next generation. ’

”

Philip was shocked,

This advertising slogan......

At first glance, he felt that he was full of people,

Savoring it carefully, this sentence not only shows the nobility of the brand, but also shows that the product can survive a hundred years and lasts for a long time, which perfectly expresses the background color of the brand's heritage.

Philip exclaimed, "It's so apt! ”

It was originally Patek Philippe's advertising copy, can it not be appropriate?

Lu Shi is just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha.

He patted the other man on the shoulder,

"You haven't finished talking about the specific reason why you are in a hurry to ask for advertising words~"

Philip came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I was going to put a gift card in the box for the Nobel laureates, with an advertising slogan on it, so I ...... Hmmm......"

There was a stumble of footsteps beside him.

The two of them turned their heads to look,

I saw a large crowd of people coming like a tide.

As we get closer, everyone's face is gradually clearly visible, and it is the scientists who are "waiting to be fed".

"Hiss......"

Philip took a cool breath,

"Professor Lu, I still have something urgent, let's go first!"

After saying that, he walked around the withered flower bed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Scientists surrounded Lu Shi,

"Professor Lu, it's shameful to be out of context!"

"It's almost over, how can you ...... I didn't even fall asleep yesterday......"

"We want to listen to the follow-up to "Chaowen Dao"!"

……

Rise up and attack,

It's as if you're going to eat someone's life alive.

Although Lu Shi had expected to be chased, he didn't expect this to reach such a scale.

"Goo......

He swallowed,

"Guys, the reason why I did that yesterday is clear enough. So, if you want to hear the epilogue, you must promise me that you will keep order. ”

"Of course!" ×n

Everyone spoke in unison.

Someone said, "Professor Lu, I'll accompany you back to get the manuscript." ”

That's what he said, but looking at the momentum, it was like preparing to escort the prisoner, for fear that Lu Shi would run away.

Lu Shi shook his head,

"No, I can get off the script."

If you are an ordinary person, you will definitely think this is outrageous,

Although "Chaowen Dao" is a short story, it must have a thousand words at the end, who can guarantee that it will be memorized word for word?

But the scientists present are geniuses,

Isn't it natural to be able to memorize what you have written?

No fuss.

Lu Shi narrates the end of "Chaowen Dao",

Ding Yi's daughter Wenwen finally followed her father's old path and studied for a doctorate in physics.

Wenwen's mother begged her daughter not to follow her father's example, sacrifice herself for the truth, and embark on the end of self-destruction.

And Wenwen asked the sentence,

“

'Mom, what is the purpose of the universe?' ’

”

Hearing this, the scientists present seemed to be tortured by their souls.

The purpose of the universe......

In Lu Shili, Lord Kelvin (Hawking in the original text of the electrician Liu) walked to the altar of truth and asked the troubleshooter this question,

And the troubleshooter can't answer.

Someone muttered: "Professor Lu's vision is ...... than ours"

Before he finished speaking, he was made a silent gesture by others,

"Shhhh Professor Lu is not done yet. ”

Lu Shi really didn't finish speaking,

Because Wenwen asked the second question,

“

''So, Mom, what is the purpose of life?'' The breeze blew, and the sea of grass swelled with ripples, as if it were an endless sea of people under the stars, singing silently to the whole universe. ’

”

For a moment, the garden fell into silence,

Only the cold wind blew, and occasionally there was a whimpering and whimpering howl.

After a long time,

"'The purpose of the universe' and 'the purpose of life', I think these two questions are the same problem."

Finally someone spoke.

Lu Shi looked over, as if it was John William Strat,

The reason why I have an impression is because I have seen his portrait at Cambridge University, and it seems that Maxwell has succeeded him as the director of the Cavendish laboratory.

Planck on the side asked, "Professor Strat, why do you say that?" ”

Strat groaned for a moment,

"I was thinking all night yesterday about the question, in Chapter 4, why did Lord Kelvin be terrified when he asked the troubleshooter what the purpose of the universe was?"

The crowd nodded,

They've thought about it too, too.

Strat continued: "Today, after listening to the epilogue, I have an idea. As a high civilization, the Troubleshooter has long been accustomed to knowing everything by solving countless puzzles. What happens when they are confronted with an unanswerable question? ”

A moment of silence,

suddenly

"Hehehe......"

The scientists let out a tacit laugh.

Ernest Rutherford laughed, "Fear." The rescuers were terrified. They realize that they don't know everything. They are not the masters of the universe, but the 'fruits' of the masters of the universe. ”

This statement caused some people to frown.

Rutherford seems to have known that this would be the case,

When he turned to land,

"Professor Lu, what you wrote about was fear."

The tone of the statement used is very convincing, as if it is irrefutable.

Lu Shi felt that he was in the college entrance examination room and was doing reading comprehension questions, and the article cited in the question turned out to be written by himself.

That's right, it's that outrageous.

He said, "Ah...... That's what I thought...... Ahem...... I mean...... Those who understand will naturally understand, and those who don't understand don't need to explain. ”

As soon as the words fell,

"Of course there is no need to explain!"

It was Joseph Thomson, Rutherford's teacher, who spoke.

He looked at his students,

"You mean, Professor Lu, believes that the answer to the ultimate question of 'the purpose of the universe' lies outside the universe? Is it God or an outer god? How? Do you also want to learn from Sir Newton, instead of experimenting, and play alchemy? ”

The master and apprentice were actually scared!

The excitement on everyone's faces,

Hit Hit Punch!

I want to see a river of blood!

Rutherford also had the consciousness of "I love my teacher, and I love the truth even more", and said: "But Professor Lu means that!" He made it very clear! ”

Lu Shi: "......"

Truth be told, he doesn't know what he means now.

Thomson raised his eyebrows and said, "How many books have you read Professor Lu?" ”

"Ah......h

Rutherford was speechless.

Teachers have time to read idle books, but students don't.

Thomson said: "I have read a lot of Professor Lu's plays, poems, and I don't think Professor Lu has ever really advocated or absolutely opposed something. In other words, the values of the characters are not those of the author himself. ”

When Thomson looked at Lu,

"Really?"

Lu Shi: "Yes...... yes......"

Thomson nodded,

"Thank you, Professor Lu, for your doubts."

He turned to Rutherford and posed as a teacher,

"So, do you understand?" If the purpose of the universe and the purpose of life are really equivalent, it means that life should work in the direction of 'hearing the Tao and dying at night'. But if Professor Lu really thinks so, why should he arrange an epilogue? Wouldn't it be good to bring the end to the altar of truth? ”

Rutherford did not answer,

However, looking at his appearance, he still seems to be unconvinced.

Strat, on the other side, was not afraid of Tom's descendant, and sneered: "Who said just now that 'Professor Lu has never really absolutely admired or opposed something'? Why do you slap yourself in the face in the blink of an eye? ”

Unexpectedly, before Thomson could refute, Fischer spoke,

"I agree with Professor Thomson."

"You! *@￥#%……”

“！ *@￥#%……”

More and more people are joining the warband.

Monson in the crowd looked at the scene in front of him and stood quietly,

Long

"Whew~"

Exhale a breath of turbidity.

Menique felt something beside him,

I don't know if it's a delusion, but he thinks that Monson's spirit of "people fighting for a breath" has dissipated.

He looked over,

"Teacher, ...... are you?"

Monson smiled and said, "Fried, written by a literati, can attract so many scientists to discuss and even fight......"

Menik quickly interrupted,

"They didn't fight, they didn't do it yet."

Monson pouted,

"You don't think it's fighting. In fact, they are already shirtless in their hearts. Just like when I was dealing with Lu, every time I thought of him, I would beat him up in my heart. ”

Isn't this the method of spiritual victory?

Menique: "......"

Speechless.

Monson said slowly: "I was naïve before. I really shouldn't have bothered with Lu Shi. ”

In this regard, Menik still does not express an opinion,

“……”

Monson is old and capricious,

Today he said that he was going to let Lu go, who knows what tomorrow will bring?

Monson sighed,

"What? Do you think I didn't say that because I couldn't beat Lu Shi? ”

Menik hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but ask:

"That'...... Can you beat it? ”

A word silenced Monsengan.

“……”

“……”

“……”

The atmosphere was eerie.

Menik looked away and said lightly, "It's a nice day. ”

Not a bad hammer!

Monson felt like the cracks in his bones were about to be blown through by the cold wind.

He said, "I'm hungry, let's go back to the restaurant." ”

Menik nodded,

"Okay."

As a liberal arts student, it's boring for him to stay here.

The two walked towards the restaurant.

As a result, I didn't take a few steps before I heard a loud noise behind me,

"Edward! Calm down! You can't hurt anyone by hitting the shoulder! ”

"You guys don't fight anymore~"

"'Chaowen Dao, you can die at night'!"

……

Monson shrugged,

"Look, let's really get started~"
