According to Cheng Nuo's idea, he originally planned to buy some cooked food, accompany it with his own hot dishes, and invite more than a dozen colleagues from the Academy of Sciences to have a family dinner for a simple celebration.

But when I arrived at their homes, I later realized that most of them were married and had children, and he and Shi Jin were the only ones who were single.

After further investigation, I found out that more than half of my classmates had made arrangements for their baby to be married before going to the United States. The first thing they did after returning home was to get married. After all, this age was considered old for the Republic of China, and it was difficult to find a good husband, so children

It's not unusual to run all over the place.

Then I thought about it, why not make the family dinner bigger and more lively, call all the family members together, and take advantage of the opportunity to get closer to each other.

However, the original plan would be disrupted again. For this reason, Cheng Nuo went to Dongxing Building to invite a master chef to cook and set up two large tables, one for men and one for women and children.

"Lao Guo, you said this is so good. Why did Lao Cheng call so many people over and make such a big fuss?" Wu Yulin put some peanuts in his hand and put them into his mouth one by one: "

He is so mysterious that he refused to tell me no matter how much he asked when he invited me here."

Guo Shouchun looked at his watch by himself: "Then who knows? If I don't come, you have to drag me here. I haven't had time to record the crop data in the field today. If I leave later, I will have to stay up all night when I get back."

Wu Yulin chuckled: "I heard that you are just about to settle down in the fields. Do your siblings have any objections? If this continues, shouldn't you be allowed to sleep with her?"

"I can't stop your mouth even if you eat peanuts." Guo Shouchun dug out a large spoonful of peanuts and poured it over to Wu Yulin: "You are famous for being afraid of your wife. This custom is not in my old Guo family."

Glancing at his wife over there, Guo Shouchun drank a cup of tea and said, "What we call each other is respecting each other as guests and understanding each other."

Wu Yulin suppressed his laughter and poured the peanuts back into his plate: "Okay, okay, just be better than my old Wu. But then again, Lao Shi lives with him, so he should know something."

As he spoke, he raised his elbow and touched Shi Jin beside him: "Right, Lao Shi?"

"Ah, what are you talking about?" Shi Jin suddenly slowed down, closed the book in his hand, and said with confusion on his face: "Old Wu, were you asking me just now? I'm sorry, I was fascinated by reading just now and didn't notice you guys were there.

say what."

Guo Shouchun leaned over and twisted his neck to see what book he was holding.

""Wonders of the Future", the wonders of the future, written by Tesla, Lao Shi, when did you become interested in Tesla, or did you stop studying mechanics and switch to electrical engineering?"

Wu Yulin took the book over and flipped through a few pages: "Tesla is a great person. I remember when I was taking the "Wireless Science" exam, I specially found his photo and paid my respects overnight. I passed as expected.

I just heard that his current situation is not good, he seems to be in a bad situation, and I really want to invite him to give a lecture at our Academy of Sciences. Hey, Lao Shi, why are you coughing?"

After Shi Jin heard the first half of the sentence, he originally wanted to laugh, but he was afraid of being discovered to be abnormal. He wanted to cry but couldn't. He made a weird face and drank water but was choked.

"Ahem, Lao Wu, what did you ask me just now?"

"Oh, um, let me ask you if you know why Lao Shi invited so many of us to dinner."

"Did you know that there were two businessmen from Shanghai stock market a few days ago?"

"I know this. People from the Shanghai Flour Union came to talk about wheat selection and breeding. This old Guo should know better than me. That's not what he has been busy with recently."

"As long as you know this, it has nothing to do with it."

After hearing this, Wu Yulin was suddenly startled. The hand that was originally patting Shi Jin's back paused, and then turned to give him a heavy blow.

"Forget it, I'm so nice to you. I confiscated the book. I happen to be more interested in electricity these days."

Shi Jin couldn't hold it in any longer, he touched his back with one hand and laughed out loud.

Wu and Guo looked at each other, but neither found anything unusual, and said in unison: "It's inexplicable."

At this time, the family dinner suddenly became quiet. Under everyone's gaze, Cheng Nuo and Li Laosan appeared in front of everyone carrying a homemade blackboard.

The blackboard is covered with a layer of linen, and no one here knows what is written on it.

Wu Yulin originally wanted to ask Shi Jin again, but seeing the confusion on his face, he stopped asking and turned his attention to the blackboard.

Cheng Nuo put the blackboard on the table, clapped his hands, and cleared his throat.

"I'm sorry that the Academy of Sciences called everyone together today. Of course, there must be a reason for everyone to come. What reason is hidden under this blackboard. I won't tell you. Now I will reveal it to you."

Unexpectedly, before he could take action, several more people walked over from outside.

"Zhiyuan, can you let me take a look? If you come uninvited, please don't kick me out."

As the sound approached, a figure slowly walked out of the darkness. Upon closer inspection, it was Cai Yuanpei, the president of Peking University.

Cai Yuanpei has always been more concerned about the young man Cheng Nuo. He consulted him several times, and each time he gained refreshing insights and his impression became more and more profound.

The reason for coming here this time is out of the elder's concern for the younger generation and to see his current life situation. After all, Cheng Nuo was still relatively depressed when they first met. Although it has been so long, he still can't let go.

It was a coincidence that when Cai Yuanpei arrived at the door carrying his things, he saw the door open. He shouted a few times but no one answered. He saw that there was a light inside and came in by himself. He happened to encounter this scene.

Originally he wanted to leave, but when he heard the word "Academy of Science" and thought of the series of major things Cheng Nuo had done recently, he unconsciously took steps forward.

Compared with major educational issues, personal dignity is nothing.

After Cai Yuanpei came in, he took off his hat and bowed slightly to everyone: "I, Cai Yuanpei, President of Peking University, I am sorry to disturb everyone's enjoyment."

When everyone heard that the visitor was a famous educator, they all stood up and returned the favor.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Nuo hurried over and invited Cai Yuanpei to the main seat.

"Mr. Cai, why are you here so late? You should have told me in advance so that I could go out to greet you."

Cai Yuanpei waved his hand, put his hat on the table and said with a smile: "Zhiyuan, I should be the one to say sorry to you for disturbing your banquet. Originally, I wanted to leave, but I heard something about the Academy of Sciences in the courtyard.

, I really want to be shameless and come here to listen. If it involves any confidential matters, I can leave now."

When it comes to important matters, Cheng Nuo will naturally not announce it in front of so many people, so when he learned that Cai Yuanpei was coming, he was just surprised for a moment and thought about what to do next.

Cheng Nuo poured him a cup of hot tea: "Mr. Cai's words are serious. Originally, the Academy of Sciences was closely connected with Peking University. You, the president, can listen to me both emotionally and rationally, and you can also give me some advice.

"

After the greetings, Cheng Nuo walked to the stage again, closed the curtain, and separated the two tables in the middle. Here, the parents were short-lived and chatting happily; on the other side, they were solemn and solemn, and no one said a word.

Clearing his throat, Cheng Nuo stood in front of the blackboard and spoke.

"For a hundred years, Europe and the United States have witnessed the prosperity of their cultural relics, which have shocked the past and brought great success to their origins. They have received many blessings from science. The development of civil rights and national strength of a world power must be parallel to the progress of its academic thought, and academic

There is no luck in a desolate country.”

"Therefore, in order to carry forward the spirit of Mr. Sai, we specially set up the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of China with friends who are interested in it. Youdao is 'gather up food widely and become king slowly'. In order to develop in a low-key manner, we specially chose this ordinary day to invite you all together.

Officially announcing her founding."

As he spoke, he lifted up the linen cloth on the blackboard

"The first item is to announce the structure of the Academy of Sciences. According to the standards of the American Academy of Sciences, the disciplines are divided into five colleges, namely mathematical sciences, biological sciences, applied engineering sciences, medical sciences and social sciences. Each college is further subdivided.

Mathematics, physics, chemistry, and astronomy are constantly expanding new subjects according to social needs."

"However, no colleagues from the Academy of Medical Sciences and the Academy of Social Sciences have joined yet, so let's not talk about it for the time being. I will be the concurrent dean of the School of Mathematics and Physics, and Bingzhi will be the dean of the School of Biological Sciences. As for the School of Applied Engineering, this is kept secret for the time being and will be announced later."

In fact, many scientific research institutions in the Republic of China were private. In 1915, a Huanghai Chemical Industry Research Laboratory was established. Mr. Bingzhi jointly established the first biological research institute in China - the Chinese Science Society Biology

In the institute, everyone did their best to choose him as the dean, so Cheng Nuo is not the first person to try something new.

"Staff are divided into two categories, one is researchers, and the other is professors. We take into account teaching and receive preferential treatment to ensure that everyone's salary is not owed, so that everyone can do scientific research without worries."

When Cheng Nuo finished saying these words, warm applause immediately broke out from below.

As soon as the Academy of Sciences is established, everyone can leave their original workplace and devote themselves wholeheartedly to the career they love. There is nothing more joyful than this.

After everyone calmed down, Cheng Nuo waved calmly.

"We will discuss the details after the meeting when I come up with the charter. Now I will announce the first foreign professor to join our Academy of Sciences and the dean of the Academy of Applied Engineering - Nikola Tesla."

At this time, everyone was completely stunned, and after a brief silence, a more heated discussion broke out.

"Is it the American one?"

"Is it the one with the radio-controlled boat?"

"Is it the one after which the magnetic density unit is named?"

"Is he the one who invented alternating current?"

Cheng Nuo announced loudly: "Yes, yes, that's right, that's Tesla. He will come to China in the near future and join the family of our Academy of Sciences. What I want to tell everyone is that 'I am not alone in my path.'

Now, with everyone here, more and stronger people will join in the future. Tesla is just the beginning. If everyone works together, our ideal will be realized one day and drive the great powers out of the country."

"Even if it gets dark in the future, we will still light up a light."

The scene was completely out of control, and some people started crying.

Who is Tesla? Even Cai Yuan and Pei know his name.

Now, no matter what means are used, the fact that the other party agrees will not change. Recalling the various scenes where he invited people with lofty ideals to join Peking University, he did not know how many rejections he received. Looking at these young people, he seemed to see

When I reached Hope, my eyes became a little moist without realizing it.

"Zhiyuan, you did a good job, you did a good job."

There was a curious child over there who poked his head out from under the curtain. When he saw the adult crying, he curiously crawled back into his mother's arms.

"Mom, why is dad crying? Did some bad guy hit him?"

"No, that's crying for joy."

"But you cry when you are happy, shouldn't you laugh?"

"You will know when you grow up."
