The people at Dafengtai gave way one after another and watched as a group of people helped Li Zhen back to the Kyushu Academy of Sciences.
Some people may wonder why Li Zhen's body has become so weak now after he went to Zhongzhou
Li Zhen was indeed thin in the past, but he didn't need help from others when walking. You won't be wrapped in layers of cotton robes, furs or other warm clothes.
I had never been able to walk before, but suddenly I started coughing.
My face had never turned so pale before, and I was so weak even if I couldn't speak.
What happened to Li Zhen
Many people are confused.
But no one could have thought that this young man, who was only nineteen years old, would have only a few days left. They couldn't imagine that this great comet-like figure would suffer such a fate.
After walking into the Kyushu Academy of Sciences and returning to the long-lost office, only the senior figures of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences were left.
Outside the door, many people lined up waiting to be summoned by Li Zhen.
The seven principals of the Ten Thousand Years Consortium were lining up outside, Feng Naien was lining up outside, Yanagisawa Kei was lining up outside, and the Navy Commander of Dongzhou was also lining up outside.
Waiting in line to be summoned by Li Zhen.
But now, only the top brass of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences are in the room.
People outside were discussing and discussing.
"Have you noticed? Dean Li doesn't look good."
"Well, I was coughing all the way. Is my throat bad?"
"What exactly happened to Dean Li during the time he was missing?"
"Now we can only wait patiently. Maybe after summoning us, we will have to arrange the deployment of troops."
"To be honest, I don't actually want to fight. Fighting requires money. I just want to make money, not pay. But if Dean Li gives orders, I will definitely pay for it."
"Is the blood of Kyushu flowing in your veins? How can you say such a thing when the country is facing a crisis?"
"I am a capitalist. It doesn't matter what the country is. I only make my own money. I am only responsible for my employees."
"well… "
“…”
——
"Everyone."
Li Zhen sat in a soft chair covered with animal fur and forced a smile.
One sentence, two words. The people in the room burst into tears immediately.
They don't know why, they just want to cry.
Maybe he felt inexplicably sad when he learned that the teacher in front of him who was smiling forcefully had only two months left to live. and powerlessness.
Perhaps he saw that the person who was so magnificent in the past, with a kind of aura shining all over his body, has now become a sick and dying person.
In short, as soon as Li Zhen opened his mouth, the whole office burst into tears.
Li Zhen sighed: "Why are you crying? Ahem."
I cleared my throat. My throat and trachea were extremely painful when I spoke, and my voice was hoarse.
Li Zhen suspected that his coughing during this period might have damaged his trachea. When I talk, the area above my Adam's apple feels like tearing pain.
Liu Jinghong yelled quickly: "Stop crying. Don't let Master Li talk too much nonsense. Shut up."
After hearing this, everyone took a deep breath and held back the tears that flowed out. Then they sat down with their notebooks and looked at Li Zhen with trembling shoulders.
Li Zhen glanced around and said: "I'll make a long story short. The internal combustion engine is now the top priority. Kyushu is suffering now, and all countries are coveting this piece of fat. The Dongzhou Army is powerful, but the Dongzhou Army is not invincible. . There are many powerful countries in the world, but the Dongzhou Army has no way to repel them all. Others can attack the other eight states and avoid Dongzhou, but we have no way."
"The research and development of internal combustion engines must be accelerated. Today, Kyushu needs a super weapon, a weapon that transcends the concept of everyone in the world, to shock. The military strength of one state alone cannot shock the whole world. Therefore, leading strategies such as airships Weapons must be created quickly. A group of dogs like to bully others and bite beggars. If the beggar holds a stick in his hand that can hurt the dog, the dogs will be afraid and run away. If the beggar uses his bare hands, he will Will be bitten to death by a dog..."
Liu Jinghong couldn't help but said: "Master Li, the top priority now is to study penicillin."
Li Zhen smiled and said: "You all already know all the process and recipes of penicillin. The next step is to do your best and listen to fate. It can only appear slowly in the course of time."
Fang Hanxian wiped away his tears and said: "If Kyushu dies, what does it have to do with us? Dongzhou is already independent, why should we care about their life and death? I just want Master Li to take care of himself. What does the entire Kyushu have to do with me?"
Li Zhen glared at Fang Hanxian: "You and Enze have the same ideas."
This sentence would have made Fang Han's hair stand on end in the past.
But now, Fang Hanxian cried and said: "So what. I love everyone, no one loves me, Enze is still alive. We are just leaders in the professional field, and our desire is to make continuous progress in the field." What does it have to do with the country? What does it have to do with Kyushu?"
Li Zhen sighed: "Our bodies are flowing with the blood of the nation of Kyushu. Dongzhou is independent, rich, and detached from Kyushu. But we and Bazhou are still a family, break the bones The tendons are attached. Your current thinking is wrong."
What did everyone want to say.
Li Zhen added: "Enze and I parted ways on this road. But in fact, my purpose of establishing the Kyushu Academy of Sciences from the beginning was to make Kyushu strong."
"But Master Li, what you want to promote is the development of the world. Why is the pattern limited to Kyushu? We want the development of world academics."
Li Zhen said forcefully: "First be strong yourself, then be strong as a nation, and then be strong as a world. If you are strong yourself, but the nation is not strong, what does it matter? A scientific researcher without national integrity is just a wild chrysanthemum. Wild chrysanthemum. Chrysanthemums are very valuable, but they can be found everywhere on the roadside, and when anyone can raise them and own them, who cares about them... Ahem, cough, cough."
Liu Jinghong and others quickly surrounded him and kept slapping Li Zhen on the back.
"medicine!"
"Quick, bring the medicine."
“…”
Li Zhen drank the decoction under the service of everyone, and then he felt relieved.
The metaphor is very vivid, some people understand it, and some people don't want to understand it.
A scientist without national integrity is, as Li Zhen said, just a wild chrysanthemum on the roadside. Wild chrysanthemum is useful in medicine and in life. But anyone can own it, anyone can pick it, and anyone can raise it. So no one cares about it, so it's cheap.
And isn't this a kind of sadness
Li Zhen lay in the soft chair, feeling extremely tired. He didn’t know if opening the door to capital was a wrong choice...
Dongzhou became independent in a political sense. And the people of Dongzhou are actually independent in their thinking.
Dongzhou began not to recognize the eight states of brotherhood, and the people of Dongzhou began to lose their integrity under the capital.
Qin Enze has committed treason, and many people in the Kyushu Academy of Sciences have begun to think of "where is the best place to go". This is a dangerous signal.
It is different from Li Zhen’s original intention.
'I thought I could find a balance between capital and feudalism, but I was wrong. I still haven't found this balance. '
Li Zhen felt a little sad.
He was a dying man. He shut out everyone and stayed alone in the office with his eyes closed and meditating. Use your dying thoughts to start arranging funeral arrangements, and start to play out in your mind the changes and patterns of the world after you leave.
If you pass away. People's hearts will begin to change under the erosion of capital, right? All current ideal states are only based on one's own existence. If you don't have yourself, how many people will change
The consortium will change in ten thousand years.
Jia Liping may change.
Dongzhou will change.
The world will change.
Li Zhen was scared. He was afraid that Dongzhou's mentality would turn into an indifferent social structure.
They are even more afraid that in order to seize more resources and interests, Dongzhou's capital will crazily delve into military industry under the trend of capital. control politics. Then launch a world war.
War is driven by interests. Under capital, this situation will become more straightforward and rougher.
'Can I control this beast? '
Li Zhen asked himself.
There was silence for ten minutes.
Suddenly he opened his eyes, a look of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
"Let the people from the Ten Thousand Years Consortium come in."
“…”
