In the following time, Lu Shi concentrated on completing "The Technique of Writing - Starting from Scratch".

And just like that, another Thursday, the third Harry Potter book, "The Prisoner of Azkaban", began to be serialized in the Mirror edition.

The old rules remain the same, and three chapters are released at once,

But for hungry readers, it's simply not enough to read,

The newspaper office was still besieged.

Fortunately, Lu Shi and George Bernard Shaw had already boarded the ship to Stockholm at this time, and those things did not bother him.

The ship first docked at the port of Calais in France for half a day, and then headed north.

In mid-November, the temperature gets cooler the further north you go.

The surface of the sea is a deep azure blue, and the sky is a similar color, as if it had been carefully arranged by the artist, vast and quiet.

It's a pity that the deck is too cold to stay long,

Lu Shi and George Bernard Shaw stayed in the club, playing cards and chatting with many scientists, writers, and social activists, which was very comfortable.

Kelvin, who is the leader of the academic world, is here again this time,

He's reading the Mirror,

"Lu, in addition to science fiction, your fantasy children's literature is also very well written."

George Bernard Shaw laughs,

"Needless to say? Lu Ke is one of Europe's hottest writers. ”

At this time, Einstein came over and asked curiously: "By the way, Harry turned his aunt into a balloon, why didn't the Ministry of Magic arrest him, but Minister Fudge wanted to appease him?" ”

None of these questions need to be answered.

Kelvin said: "Of course, it's to maintain stability~"

"Huh?"

Einstein was confused.

Kelvin laughs,

Sirius escaped from prison, and Fudge feared that Harry would be killed by Sirius, so he suppressed his aunt's blow. To put it bluntly, I was afraid that Harry would die outside, causing panic. ”

Lu Shi nodded secretly,

Thought

The old man is knowledgeable.

Part 3,

Fudge supported Harry and suppressed his use of magic outside of school, fearing panic in the magical society;

Parts 4 & 5,

Fudge poured dirty water on Harry for fear that he would make a big deal about Voldemort's resurrection, but also for fear of causing panic.

The two attitudes seem to be inconsistent,

Actually, there is no difference in the purpose -

Whitewash the peace.

Albert Einstein sighed,

"I didn't expect children's literature to have such a side."

When he says "such a side," he means "the political side."

Lu Shi smiled: "Albert, you can be simple." The Ministry of Magic has given an official statement that Aunt Maggie's balloon being blown into a balloon is an uncontrollable act caused by Harry's inability to fully control the magic, so it is not considered to be using magic outside of school. ”

Albert Einstein rubbed his forehead,

"It doesn't feel like children's literature anymore."

"Children's literature is also literature~"

Kelvin sighed,

"Besides, we're mixed up in the academic circle, this kind of thing ......"

When he turned to the land suddenly,

"Lu, speaking of which, because of the promotion of the Global University Rankings and the impact factor, the academic community is becoming more eager for quick success."

It is said that "more",

It shows that the academic circle is quite dark.

How can Lu Shi not understand?

"It's inevitable," he said. ”

Kelvin sighed, not answering.

On the contrary, Heinrich Carstens next to him leaned over and said, "It's been really serious lately. ”

He has a strong German accent,

Kelvin was stunned for a moment before he reacted and said, "You are a student of Professor Planck?" I have an impression of you. ”

Carstens nodded,

"Lord Kelvin, I didn't expect you to remember me."

He was just about to continue the previous topic when Planck next to him issued a warning: "Hine, don't talk nonsense. ”

Planck knows that trouble comes from the mouth,

Previously, because he put forward the "quantum theory" that was too advanced, he believed that the radiant energy of matter is not infinitely divisible, but is composed of the smallest and indivisible energy units, which led to the attack of many people in the physical circle.

Although this view is now gradually being accepted, he still adheres to the principle of prudence in words and deeds.

He winked at his disciple and said silently with his eyes: "The dark side of the academic circle, don't talk about it." ”

Carstens was of course obedient to his mentor and was not prepared to say more.

Kelvin laughed,

"Marx, have you forgotten that we are scientific advisers for Chaowen Dao? You and Albert don't give me face at all. How did you become so cautious now? ”

As he spoke, Kelvin looked around,

"You see, with so many colleagues around, it's a good opportunity for us to open our hearts and communicate with each other, how can you be silent?"

Planck was helpless,

Thought

It is precisely because there are many colleagues that it is impossible to talk nonsense.

But at this point, it doesn't seem to matter,

With Kelvin speaking from Taishan Beidou in the academic circle, how can there be anything that should not be talked about?

Planck nodded to his disciple.

Carstens has been gearing up for a long time, saying: "Since the promotion of impact factors, students have been working hard to complete experiments and papers with snot and tears, but they have been picked peaches in a grand manner. This is becoming more and more common. ”

Kelvin laughed,

"You didn't tell the whole story, did you?"

Carstens was a little embarrassed and didn't answer.

Kelvin said, "I'll speak for you." Not only will they want to pick peaches, but they will also ask you to be grateful. ”

"Poof!"

Carstens laughed.

Lu Shi said: "Professor Planck is certainly not this kind of person. ”

"Ah......h

Planck's chick nodded like a peck of rice,

"Of course I'm not. Before, I was the one who was squeezed. ”

He lowered his voice,

"There is a poem circulating at the University of Berlin, 'The boss asks for a word, and the subordinate is eagerly courteous; The subordinate repeatedly ordered high standards, and the little minions nodded and smiled; The little minions are talking nonsense and playing blindly, and they are forced to study the slave with a confused face. ”

There was silence at the scene,

“……”

“……”

“……”

Suddenly, laughter erupted all around,

"Hahahaha!"

Joseph Thomson said, "That's all too true! You have so many talented people at the University of Berlin! ”

The scientists on the scene were able to laugh because they had already spent that time.

And for those most humble students, they do the work, but there is no comfort, and even because of the quality and progress of the faulty,

As a result, students all have to be omnipotent tools.

Do anything;

Anything can be done;

and capable at all times;

You have to do it to your heart's content.

Kelvin spreads hands,

"It's a common thing. Now it's become more of it. ”

He comforted Lu Shi again: "However, this is not a problem of the Global University Rankings and the impact factor. They are good, but the universities are eager for quick success and quick profits, and the implementation is bad. ”

Lu Shi said that he was comforted,

Don't comfort next time.

George Bernard Shaw next to him was a little curious,

"Sir, London is a liberal arts and business school, and this kind of thing is relatively rare. So I'm not very familiar with ......."

Kelvin was surprised,

"Rare?"

In his impression, there are many similar problems in social sciences.

George Bernard Shaw coughed a few times and said, "Yes, but in a different pattern." I'm just curious, are there any specific examples of what you're talking about? ”

Kelvin was speechless when asked,

"Brother Xiao, what do you want to do? Exposure? I can't just give examples of them. ”

George Bernard Shaw smiled,

"Listen to the story~"

Kelvin gave the other party a blank look,

"You're bored enough, too."

Unexpectedly, Lu Shi also joined in the fun, and instigated: "Anyway, let's chat in the club, you say it casually, we will listen to it casually~"

It's completely an attitude of watching the excitement and not thinking too much.

Kelvin groaned, as if he was considering.

As a result, William Conrad Röntgen, who was next to him, preemptively said: "I'm coming!" I'll talk about a Zurich ...... Ahem...... I'll tell you a story about a certain Technical University in Lerich. The story is not true, and if there is any similarity, it is purely a coincidence. ”

Immediately there was warm applause around,

"Professor Roentgen!"

"Last year's Nobel Prize winner, what are you afraid of?"

"That's right."

……

There were also some good deeds, who poured a glass of whiskey for Roentgen, and said, "William, you take a few sips first, and let it go." ”

The crowd gathers together as if listening to a story.

Seeing such a big battle, Röntgen was really a little stunned,

He couldn't help but take a puff of whiskey before saying, "I'm going to talk about myself...... Stories heard with your own ears. It is said that a certain student, because of his love for a certain subject, did not hesitate to plunge into related scientific research work. How much did he love it at the time? In the words of his boss later, 'You were still very enthusiastic'. ”

Hearing this, everyone instantly understood,

The so-called "you were still very enthusiastic at that time",

The implication is, "Why did you get more and more lazy later?" ”。

Someone whispered: "William, tell me the truth, is the 'student' in the story yourself?" ”

A word silenced Röntgen,

“……”

The atmosphere became eerie.

After a while, the person who asked the question said, "William, you didn't ask me." ”

The crowd gave him a blank look.

Röntgen coughed lightly and continued, "In short, that student is indeed full of enthusiasm and has a high academic pursuit. At that time, he thought that as long as he worked hard, there was nothing he couldn't achieve! ”

George Bernard Shaw asked, "And then?" ”

Röntgen couldn't help but sigh,

"How things developed later, many people present can guess, because the trajectory of everyone's scientific research is almost the same, eight or nine is not far from ten."

He stretched out a finger,

"First of all, the experiment lacked some equipment, and without the equipment, it was impossible to make good experimental results. But the boss has the funds in hand, but he just doesn't want to buy. The lab is like a small workshop, full of handmade substitutes. Think about it, how scattered are the results of the experiment?! ”

Hearing the word "dispersion",

Those who knew physics were sure that the protagonist of the story was Roentgen himself.

What's more, Roentgen did waste a year as a teaching assistant at the Technical University of Zurich, and then came to work in Würzburg, and the situation improved.

His story and the story he told are also right.

Roentgen stall hands,

"It's very scattered, and in the end I ...... Ahem...... The student himself didn't believe the results. After doing this slowly, he went from doubting his boss to doubting scientific research, and then to doubting himself. The worry is that I am not capable, not because the equipment is not good. ”

With that, Röntgen took another sip of wine.

Planck patted him on the shoulder,

"I understand you."

Röntgen shook his head,

"Don't. This is not my story, what do you know about me? ”

"Hmm."

Planck nodded solemnly,

"I understand you."

Röntgen was speechless for a while,

The heart says,

The disguises I just put on the story are a complete failure.

He asked Planck: "Professor Planck, it seems that you also have a story to tell~"

Planck didn't expect the fire to burn himself,

He poured himself a glass,

"That'...... I'm also sharing a story about a certain Ni Hei university? ”

Roentgen depressed,

"Do you have to talk about the University of Munich?"

From 1900 onwards, Röntgen was Professor of Physics and Director of the Institute of Physics at the University of Munich.

He said, "Why don't I avoid it?" ”

Planck said, "Avoid what? I'm talking about a certain Nihei university, what does it have to do with you? ”

"This ......"

Röntgen was speechless for a while,

"Then I'll talk about a certain Lin University later."

Planck is from the University of Berlin.

The atmosphere of the scene changed suddenly, from a grievance meeting to exposing each other's secrets.

As the saying goes, "good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles",

The things in the circle can't be hidden at all.

The professors began to ponder, preparing the ammunition.

Planck continues: "At that time, a student was exposed to a project for a company at a university in Nepal. ”

Listen to him, this project is similar to a cross-cutting topic,

Such topics are generally commissioned by enterprises, including scientific research, technical research, decision-making and demonstration, design planning, software development, etc.

Lu Shi was curious,

"Did you sign the contract?"

Planck said, "Can you not sign it?" A 6-year contract, but it was done in 3 years. ”

“Shiit！”

Kelvin cursed, "It's really not a thing. ”

Planck nodded,

"Indeed, it's not a thing! The students didn't understand how they applied for the program at the time. ”

Röntgen smiled: "I really don't understand? ”

I can only say that everyone who understands understands it.

Planck continues: "In short, the project involved a lot of experiments that could not be done in a laboratory. The student worked tirelessly to do what he could, and then found the boss, explaining that some of them really couldn't be done. Who would have thought that the boss thinks it doesn't matter, they didn't do it, others just did it. ”

This is said very implicitly,

But the people present are all people with life experience who understand what the boss means.

To put it simply, it is to copy the results of others.

Röntgen said, "Is it over?" ”

Planck nodded,

"Of course it's over! If the topic is not concluded, he would have stepped down a long time ago, how can he continue to eat and drink in the institute under your hands? ”

Röntgen pinched his chin and pondered,

"Tsk...... I know who it is. ”

Lu Shi wanted to laugh when he saw it,

It feels like a professor might lose his job because of today's bragging.

He took out his notebook and began to record what he had just heard, thinking that maybe it would be a good subject to communicate with professors in the interview section of the Mirror, so that the public could also understand the mysterious academic circle.

But others will be wrong about his note-taking,

Kelvin said, "Lu, do you want to write again?" Same as last time in "Morning News"? ”

Last year, Lu Shi watched the discussions of Kelvin, Einstein, and Planck before deciding to write "The Way of Chaowen".

Therefore, this behavior is inevitably misleading.

The crowd gathered in an instant,

"Professor Lu, do you want to write? Or maybe it's a play? Can I make a cameo? ”

"Yes, yes! I'm going to make a cameo too! I can tell you about Paris...... I know a lot about Li University! ”

"Then I can talk about it! There are so many things like this in the British. ”

"You're right, 'Great Britain has always been inappropriate when it comes to being inhuman.'"

……

They were all extremely enthusiastic.

Lu Shi was a little confused,

"Why do you think I need to write or play?"

Röntgen said: "Professor Lu, what you are best at is satire, and these things in the academic circle are very suitable as objects of satire. ”

George Bernard Shaw echoed: "I think so, too. ”

Land Hours: ???

"Lao Xiao, you just said, 'London politics and economics is a liberal arts and business college, and this kind of thing is relatively rare', why do you suddenly know the dark side of the academic circle now?"

George Bernard Shaw said, "I'm not without ears. I heard it clearly just now~"

Röntgen followed the topic and said: "Moreover, although the advantages of promoting the Global University Rankings and the impact factor outweigh the disadvantages, seeing the disadvantages, Professor Lu, as a responsible person, definitely wants to expose those darkness to the sun." ”

Everyone nodded in unison,

"That's right! Professor Lu is a responsible person! That's why we think you can write. ”
