Chapter 23 The man has gold under his knees
Ying Zhaoran frowned slightly, and seemed to not like the dignified attitude. But his father didn't say anything, so he couldn't speak.
Chen Gu continued: "Ying Gong, I am doing unified quantum theory. If this system is established by me, it is completely, it is completely..." He rubbed his hands excitedly, and the sad expression on his face disappeared. It seemed that when he mentioned his own research, he was immersed in making a world, and he became the master of that world. "That is a completely miracle in the history of science! I will be as famous as Newton and Einstein! I will push the entire human understanding of this world for a hundred years! One hundred years, Ying Gong!"
But in fact, he seemed to be the only one who was excited.
Because the other four people couldn't figure out what he was talking about. Li Zhen knew about quantum mechanics, which was a very profound thing. But unlike relativity or classical mechanics, that theory has not yet been a relatively mature system, and there are many top sciences struggling to move forward on that path.
The "unified quantum theory" mentioned by Chen Gu at this moment is a complete and self-consistent quantum mechanics system according to Li Zhen's understanding.
Can he do this...can he do it?
He is not a world-renowned scholar, nor is he a well-known scholar in China, and he is even an associate professor - he looks poor and destitute. He seems to have no research funding at the moment, so he rented a house outside as his own laboratory.
If it weren't for his shabby clothes, Li Zhen would almost suspect that he was a liar who cheated on food and drink.
Ying Ziyang sighed slightly: "Yuntai, it is a good thing to do research. But it's not like you. You have to settle yourself first before you can talk about it. I understand what Zhaoran said. He is indeed not trying to make things difficult for you on purpose. Not to mention him, even I can't say hello to you. What you did will have no profit in the short term, right?"
Chen Mu wanted to say something, but Ying Ziyang waved his hand: "You should know the current academic environment in China more than me, the old man. Even I was surprised that your school could make you work for so long. The 112 project is not aimed at projects like you, let alone your private research, even if it is a project on your school, the money will not fall on them."
The dark face dimmed. He moved his mouth, was silent for a while, and smiled bitterly: "Academic environment... Ying Gong. Of course I understand this. But someone must do basic theories? Without basic theories, everything is a castle in the air! What can I do if I make flowers now? Everything is standing still! I am like me, I am like me..."
He stood up tremblingly, walked to Ying Ziyang, and looked at him blankly: "I have no pursuit. You said you want me to settle myself... Ying Gong, I don't have the energy to do those things now. This theory I am destined to devote to my life. I don't seek wealth or inheritance. I just want to do one thing well. Doing this thing well can be considered worthy of my ancestors and the surname of the Shen family. I only ask you one thing, I..."
He suddenly started to cry. It was surprising that a man in his thirties cried in front of four people. However, what was even more unexpected was that at the next moment, he knelt down.
The knees hit the wooden floor with a thud.
Ying Ziyang frowned: "Yuntai, what are you doing!"
"I only need 100,000 yuan, I only need 100,000 yuan." Chen Mu gritted his teeth and choked, "I can make it one hundred thousand yuan!"
Li Zhen was slightly moved. If he thought this person was unreasonable, without dignity, and stubborn, then at this time, all his previous impressions would disappear.
Although he still couldn't figure out whether what Chen Gu said was true or false, whether his theory was correct, or just his own hysterical thoughts, however...
A person can give up his self-esteem for such a thing and kneel down in front of Ying Ziyang... This unimaginable persistence and forbearance are enough to be admired.
What's more, he seemed to have dedicated everything to the career in his heart. Liaoji University is a well-known higher education in the north. As an associate professor, he should have lived a rich and peaceful middle-class life. In addition, with the continuous funding of the Ying family, if he uses some brains, he will be an enviable and successful person in front of him.
However, he seemed to have invested all the money he could get into his career.
So I am still alone and I can't even let go of my broken glasses.
Strictly speaking, such people are indeed mentally abnormal. But this is respectable paranoia. Compared with those who have no clue and mediocre all their lives, perhaps they can better understand the true meaning of life.
The sunken curtain knelt in front of Ying Ziyang and muttered something, but it was mixed with the choking sound and couldn't hear it clearly.
Ying Zhaoran walked up to him and tried to pull him up, sighing: "Yuntai, what are you doing? If you have something to do, get up and say it, how can this be done!"
However, he knelt there in a sob, and his clothes were torn halfway open, but he just couldn't afford it.
Li Zhen clenched his fists and stood up: "Ying Gong. You... agree to him."
Of course he knew that he was inappropriate in doing this, and it could even be said to be rude. One hundred thousand gold coins are not small, and of course it is a huge wealth for ordinary people. But if it were the Ying family, they would definitely not be short of that money.
He could also understand Ying Ziyang. The so-called emergency rescue but poor. Scientific research is a bottomless pit. Even if the Ying family has strong financial resources, it will definitely not be able to support a project that sounds so large. In fact, they have done quite well - no matter what the two companies had before, until today, this old man not only funded the dilapidated academic work, but also supported him in doing such scientific research - completely treating him as a very close junior.
Neither seems to be wrong.
But he was still moved by the persistent spirit of the down-and-out man in front of him.
After Li Zhen said something, Ying Ziyang and Ying Zhaoran were slightly stunned. He felt a little hot on his face - this kind of thing about borrowing flowers to offer Buddha is not very glorious, let alone that he was the first person to interact with others.
Chen Gu was also a little stunned. He turned his head to look at Li Zhen, wiped his eyes hard, but accidentally brought his glasses off, so he used his trembling hands to grop on the ground. This scene made Li Zhen feel sour.
So he continued, "Ying Gong. I wonder if you have heard of the science of European and African geometry."
No one expected that Li Zhen would stand up at this time. Ying Ziyang's expression calmed down a little, and he whispered: "Tell me, let me see."
"Euro-African geometry was proposed more than 300 years ago. After that, some famous or unknown scientists were studying what it is, but they had no clue and people couldn't figure out what this science could do." Li Zhen looked at the curtain with a pity, "The answer was not found for more than 170 years, so everyone thought it was just a useless theoretical game. But then, Einstein appeared. He proposed the general theory of relativity. The core basis of general theory is Euro-African geometry and the tensor analysis theory developed from this."
Li Zhen paused slightly: "So I want to say... some things seem useless now. But maybe... don't mean they are useless in the future. Let's take a step back, maybe this Yuntai brother has indeed fallen into a misunderstanding. However, I still hope that you can give him a last chance. A man should have a word of everything. With this 100,000, if he still fails to get any result, he should consider marrying a wife and having children and passing on the family line as you said."
Chen Mu seemed to have grabbed the life-saving straw. After a slight moment, he nodded quickly: "Yes, Ying Gong, this is the last 100,000 I want. If I can't get any results, I swear that I will sell kidneys and blood for the rest of my life, and I will pay back all the money to you!"
Ying Zhaoran shouted: "Yuntai, why are you becoming less and less sensible when you say it! When will we ask you to pay back something?"
Ying Ziyang pondered for a while and sighed: "Yuntai, get up."
The curtain was stunned: "Mr. Ying, it's really the last one hundred thousand..."
Li Zhen had no choice but to smile bitterly and said, "Mr. Ying has already agreed to you."
Chen Gu blinked and stood up from the ground, not even caring about his clothes, and stood there rubbing his hands: "This...this..."
"If you want to thank you, thank Ziwen." The old man shook his head, "I will give you this 100,000 yuan to make you fulfill your wishes. If you make it happen, you will come to see me again. If you don't make it happen, you will wait for when you get married and when you will come to see me. Before that, I will not allow you to step into the Ying family again."
He stood there in a daze. The joy just now disappeared again because of the old man's words. But after a moment, he put on his glasses again, pursed his mouth tightly, bowed deeply to Ying Ziyang, and said, "Your Majesty, Yuntai, will never be forgotten."
Then he turned around and bowed to Li Zhen: "Yuntai dares not forget Brother Ziwen's kindness."
Li Zhen didn't dare to take this tribute and turned slightly.
Then he took a deep breath, stalked and walked out of the door.
The old man kept watching him. After the door was closed again, he sighed tiredly and muttered to himself: "Shen family, descendants of Shen Jiangnan... why did they fall to such a level?"
Ying Zhaoran whispered: "Dear Father, please feel free. After all, Yuntai's character is OK."
"Sweet and sweep the floor!" He said this, Ying Ziyang seemed even more angry and slapped the handrail hard, "There is gold under the knees of a man!"
Ying Zhaoran could only shake his head and sigh.
However, these words were stunned by Li Zhen’s ears. The descendants of Shen Jiangnan?
