Li Yu knew Noguchi Hideyo, whose face is still on the 1,000-yen banknote.
This gentleman has made outstanding achievements in the fields of snake venom, syphilis, yellow fever, etc.
The Japanese regard him as a hero and the father of bacteriology.
But as a Chinese, when I hear that Japan engages in bacteriology, haha.
This man later surprisingly pioneered human experiments by Japanese doctors. A few years later, he injected syphilis into 146 hospital patients (including children) for syphilis research.
Hey, of course the Japanese won't mention this. They may also think it's an honor to be able to achieve results.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this tradition and precedent that the inhumane Unit 731 emerged.
Noguchi Hideyo was surprised by Li Yu's appearance. He walked over and said, "Mr. Tesla, Mr. Li Yu, it's such an honor. I didn't expect to see two top scientific talents today!"
Noguchi Hideyo has already gained some fame in the American medical community. After all, there are still many residents in the western United States who are troubled by venomous snakes, but he has not yet truly become famous. Noguchi Hideyo continued: "Mr. Li Yu, you are the pride of us Orientals.
.”
Li Yu pretended to smile and said, "It's just a false name."
From now on, it is the Japanese who regard the Chinese the most as the sick men of East Asia.
The Japanese nation is so special that even Japanese sociologists cannot fully understand their own national character.
Including Hideyo Noguchi, this person also has a very obvious duality.
Rockefeller said to Li Yu: "I found that people in the East are very smart, so I accepted Mr. Noguchi's application to enter Rockefeller University. Coupled with your achievements in science, it strengthened my determination to invest in medical research in the East."
This is a good thing, Li Yu said: "In Chinese terms, it will leave a mark in history."
It will take more than ten years for the Rockefeller Foundation to assist in the construction of Union Medical College, but it would be great if it could be done sooner. Because according to the timeline, the foundation has been in place since 1906.
It’s worth following up later.
Neither Li Yu nor Tesla knew much about medicine, so they continued chatting for a while and left without staying here for too long.
They will continue to build several radio sets when they return.
When he returned to Fifth Avenue, Li Yu saw a Chinese man waiting for him from a distance, and Li Yu recognized him at a glance.
"Hello, Mr. Li Yu! Finally I meet you. My name is Kong Xiangxi."
"Hello, classmate Kong..." Li Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, why was he here?
Kong Xiangxi said: "I am currently studying physical and chemical sciences and social sciences at Oberlin University in Ohio. I have always read your writings and admire them very much. I was fortunate to hear that you visited the United States. After several inquiries, I found out where you were staying."
Kong Xiangxi is quite polite. Now he is just an ordinary student and his family is not prominent.
Li Yu said: "I didn't expect that your major was also physical and chemical sciences."
Kong Xiangxi will enter Yale in two years and eventually obtain a master's degree in physics and chemistry from Yale University.
However, based on the current situation, it is really unexpected that this person later became one of the four major families and held the financial power of the National Government for more than ten years.
Kong Xiangxi said modestly: "I studied in private schools for many years when I was young, but now that the situation has changed, if I want to be rich and powerful, I can only learn the science of foreigners."
The young Kong Xiangxi still has this idea, but it can only be said that people will change.
Li Yu said: "It is not easy to come to the United States to study now."
Kong Xiangxi said: "So I cherish this opportunity very much. My ideal in the future is to promote education and revitalize industry!"
Kong Xiangxi came to the United States with the help of several missionaries, but when he was studying, he actually said "boost education and revitalize careers."
"It would be great if that were the case." Li Yu said.
Kong Xiangxi said: "That's how it should be! The most important thing our Confucius family should do is education."
Well, since then he has been claiming that he is from the Confucius family, and this identity has brought him a lot of benefits.
He even included his name in the Confucius family tree.
——In fact, he spent 1,000 oceans to help the Kong family compile their family tree.
After all, the Confucius family has never compiled a family tree since the Qianlong Dynasty.
Kong Xiangxi later met Kong Xiangmian, the eldest grandson of the eighth master of the Confucius family, and it was through him that he entered the Confucius family.
Over the past two thousand years, the Confucius family has multiplied too much. The so-called eight mansions are similar to the royal family. After the death of Duke Yansheng, the eldest son will inherit the title of Duke Yansheng and live in the Confucius mansion. But his younger brothers can only
They moved out and lived in separate houses, forming various mansions.
During the Kangxi period, there were too many people in the Confucius family, including 20,000 men alone. No matter how big the Confucius family was, they couldn't accommodate them, so they divided the families and formed sixty large households according to their place names.
Kong Xiangxi entered the "Zhifang House" among the "sixty households" after the Kong family was divided.
It sounds a bit like what Liu Bei meant when he said that he was the Queen of Zhongshan Prince Jing.
However, this was not all about Kong Xiangxi clinging to the Confucius family. At that time, Cai Yuanpei passed a bill to take back 60% of the Confucius Mansion, leaving the remaining 40% for the Kong family. As a result, "a strong man fell from heaven", Kong Xiangxi allowed the Kong family to keep the Kong Mansion intact.
Kong Xiangxi was also considered the most promising member of the Confucius family during the Republic of China, so the Confucius family and Kong Xiangxi were clinging to each other and taking advantage of each other.
There is no way to talk about this kind of thing. After all, there are too few surnames in China. If you really want to talk about it casually, Li Yu can still say that he is a descendant of the Tang royal family.
Therefore, it was a pleasure for Kong Xiangxi to admit himself into the Confucius family.
Li Yu naturally knew in his heart that Kong Xiangxi would fall into the eyes of money in the future. What mattered to boost education or revitalize industry was nothing when it was difficult to make money for the country.
Li Yu just smiled bitterly and said: "I hope you can remember what I said now."
Kong Xiangxi vowed: "Of course! This is my ideal!"
What a big flag.
Kong Xiangxi added: "Also, you are also my idol! For being able to study mathematics and physics to such a level, you are really a person like a literary star in the sky."
Li Yu covered his head, wondering why he had become Kong Xiangxi's idol again, so he had to change the topic: "How is your studies?"
Kong Xiangxi said: "Mathematical and physical science is very difficult and requires a lot of effort, but I think I can handle it. Can you let me visit your laboratory?"
Kong Xiangxi stated his intention of coming: "I saw a lot of reports about you in the newspapers, and you have applied for so many patents recently. It's so fascinating."
Li Yu pointed to the laboratory behind him: "It's right here."
After Kong Xiangxi entered the room and saw Li Yu's patent results, he became more and more a fan of Li Yu, "Mr. Li Yu, you are such a genius! I must follow your example!"
Li Yu smiled and said, "Do you really think so?"
"That's true!" Kong Xiangxi said seriously, "I have collected all your papers and writings, and I have cut out all the newspaper reports and kept them. If you don't believe me, you can go to my residence in Ohio to read them."
Li Yu hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I believe it."
Kong Xiangxi said: "Although I am already in a Western-style school, your status in my heart is as a saint like my ancestor Yan Shenggong, no, a saint teacher!"
This sugar-coated bombshell made Li Yu feel very comfortable. He was worthy of being a person who would prosper in both official and business circles in the future.
Fortunately, Li Yu was a time traveler and knew what Kong Xiangxi did later.
Li Yudao: "I can only say that I am also practicing my ideals."
Kong Xiangxi immediately followed: "Your ideal is also my ideal! I will definitely follow your teacher's lead in the future."
I have to say that this person's emotional intelligence is really high, but it's a pity that he didn't use it on the right path.
Li Yu said again: "I hope you can do it in the future."
Kong Xiangxi promised: "Sir, don't worry, I will stand unswervingly and always on your side. After all, you are the teacher in my heart."
If he continued to brag, Li Yu could no longer withstand his sugar-coated bullets, so he quickly stopped, "You still have many years to complete your studies. It's too early to say this now."
Kong Xiangxi said: "Sir, you are right. After reading your papers and writings, I know that my level is too low, and I am like a drop of water to a river in front of you, so I am ready to continue my studies and improve my knowledge of physical and chemical sciences."
Li Yu really didn't expect that several of his papers would influence Kong Xiangxi, although he would never really engage in science in the future.
Li Yu said: "It is naturally good to read more books."
Kong Xiangxi said: "I will follow your teacher's teachings. If you have any questions that you don't understand in your studies in the future, please ask your teacher for advice."
Li Yu couldn't refuse him. After all, Kong Xiangxi was just a student, so he replied: "If it is a scientific question, I will definitely answer it in detail."
Kong Xiangxi said gratefully: "Thank you sir! In this way, you will not only be my teacher in my heart!"
After that, Kong Xiangxi actually wrote to Li Yu and asked for advice on many physics problems. Of course, they were all extremely simple for Li Yu, but at least they benefited Kong Xiangxi a lot when he was studying.
