Chapter 103 Comparable to Teenage China! (happy New Year)
hero.

This is Wen Yiduo's evaluation of Zhang San, the author of the book "Mechanical Drawing".

As a person born in the late Qing Dynasty, he has experienced the unprecedented changes in China in 5000 years and the shame of Paris. He deeply understands why China is weak today, and he understands the weight and significance of this manuscript in front of him.

If it is said that the country's weakness originated in the late Qing Dynasty, and its root cause was its own wars and various countries' aggression, then the reasons why the country's industry could not grow, except for the external environment and political situation, were the lack of advanced technology, perfect basic knowledge and excellent industrial talents.

Without advanced technology and excellent industrial talents, the lack of systematic drawing standards is also an indispensable and important link.

Since many students went abroad in the late Qing Dynasty, the life of learning literature, language and philosophy was like a crucian carp crossing the river, and there were only a handful of students who learned the essentials of industry and the essence of science. Many key technologies and important basic knowledge were all lost after the Sino-Japanese War. In Japan, it was banned, and the systematic cartography standard was among them.

As a literary master standing at the top of the professor pyramid of domestic universities, Wen Yiduo still has a lot of knowledge about science and domestic industrial conditions. As for cartography, there are many people who know how to draw pictures in China, and they also get a lot of drawings. Of course, most of them People basically stay at the point where they know the truth and don’t know the reason. Everyone can refer to the blueprints of the Western patented technology purchased at a high cost, but it is impossible to derive improvements on this basis.

There are many reasons for this, but one of the key points is the lack of systematic cartographic standards, as described in this article.

If you don't understand the standards and parameters, how can you talk about development and improvement?
Over the years, professors from many top institutions of higher learning in China have been joining forces to try to build a set of Chinese drafting standards. Among them is Zhuang Qianding, the head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, represented by National Tsinghua University. Since there is no data from abroad For reference, the standard-making team in charge of Zhuang Qianding could only move forward alone, building drawing standards bit by bit with the help of the drawings and materials left after the New Culture Movement.

But how difficult is it to build a set of drawing standards that belong to China? It is not that you stipulate what a symbol is, but what it is. Drawing standards are the soul of drawings and the language basis of the engineering and technical field. They have their own rules and must be referred to when building reality, combined with it.

Before the New Culture Movement, there were a lot of drawings and materials left in the late Qing Dynasty. After the New Culture Movement, the books, classical Chinese, and many books and materials in the late Qing Dynasty, which symbolized feudal ethics, were destroyed, including many drawings and materials belonging to the Qing court. Be beaten into the grave of old literature.

After three years of hard work, the standard-setting team in charge of Zhuang Qianding not only failed to complete the standard-setting task as expected, but even failed to reach half of the progress.

If the text of this manuscript, as stated in the second page of the article, contains a set of systematic cartographic standards and data, then it will be one of the best news in the history of the domestic industry, comparable to the ammonia that Hou Debang broke the Western blockade. The secret of alkali production.

How difficult it was to make alkali back then was because of the Western blockade. Hou Debang, a top genius who had scored 1000 points in ten subjects, worked hard day and night. After all, he broke through the blockade and established a basic chemical industry belonging to the country.

On the author Zhang San, Wen Yiduo also saw Hou Debang.

Thousands of hard work day and night, only selfless dedication for the present, including difficulties, obstacles and dangers I do not know how many.

Mr. Zhang San, Yousan is very polite. ——Wen Yiduo silently paid tribute to this Mr. Zhang San.

Strictly speaking, this article is a standard social science article. It does not meet the acceptance requirements of the Tsinghua Journal in terms of rhythm and format, but as Wen Yiduo, he does not hesitate to regard it as a part of life. The top three articles read in.

Time passed slowly, and after a while, the door of the editorial department rang.

"Please come in." Wen Yiduo responded when he heard the voice.

The next second, the door was pushed open, and the principal Mei Yiqi in a black robe appeared: "You Third Brother."

"I didn't expect that Yuehan would arrive first." Wen Yiduo saw Mei Yiqi, and immediately got up, stepped forward to greet him, stretched out his right hand, and smiled.

"I didn't go out today. I was in the office. I came over after receiving a notice from Oda. Brother Yousan, why did you ask me, the big nanny, to come to the editorial department today?" Mei Yiqi stretched out her right hand and held Wen Yiduo's, explaining. After the reason, he wondered.

Wen Yiduo's face was serious: "A peerless and rare manuscript cannot be reviewed for three times by your friends. You, Brother Hongjuan, Brother Kaiyi, and Brother Heshou will jointly review the manuscript before making a decision."

"Peerless rare?"

Seeing the serious expression on Wen Yiduo's face, Mei Yiqi was stunned for a moment, and a sense of curiosity came to her heart: "In that case, Yuehan will wait here for the professors to come before reading."

Wen Yiduo nodded, smiled at Mei Yiqi, and turned to make tea.

An hour later, three Tsinghua professors, Chen Yinke, Ye Qisun, and Zhuang Qianding, rushed to the editorial office, followed by the breathless young editor.

After everyone arrived, Wen Yiduo said to the young editor Tian Qi, "Oda, please make a cup of tea for the three professors."

"Yes." Tian Qi, the young editor who just took a breath, replied immediately.

"You San, what article is it, you want me to wait and review the manuscript together?" Chen Yinke's eyes showed a hint of doubt. On the way here, he had already had a preliminary understanding of the relevant situation, and knew that the reason why everyone gathered this time was to review the manuscript.

In addition to my doubts, I can't help but be a little curious about how good this article is in order to achieve the joint review of five Tsinghua professors, including Tsinghua President Mei Yiqi.

Ye Qisun and Zhuang Qianding all showed their curiosity, Mei Yiqi sat aside with a smile, quietly watching Wen Yiduo on the desk.

Wen Yiduo stood up, picked up the second article after reading, and came to Chen Yinke, looking around his friends: "Compared to Liang Shizhi's "Youth China Talk", there is only one manuscript, it is extremely precious, please circulate it carefully ."

Comparable to Liang Shizhi's "Youth China Talk"?
Chen Yinke was slightly startled, his eyebrows raised, and his face showed a serious meaning. Of course he knew the weight of young China. This is one of the best in many modern articles. It was written by Liang Shiliang Qichao. Evaluation, Chen Yinke had to wait solemnly.

All the Tsinghua professors were shocked and looked at each other in disbelief.

Mei Yiqi was also stunned, surprised.

"Yuehan, you are the biggest here, here it is." Wen Yiduo held the article carried by the fluttering paper and handed it to the surprised Mei Yiqi.

Mei Yiqi did not refuse, took the article and said to the surrounding Tsinghua professors: "Okay, then let me show you first."

The words fell, and his eyes turned to the article full of handwriting.

Just looking at it for the first time, Mei Yiqi was stunned, with a solemn expression on his face. This demeanor and performance surprised the three Chen Yinke sitting around him. You must know that the principal Mei Yiqi has experienced People who have experienced strong winds and waves are usually calm and calm, and they are never happy or angry.

Today, I was shocked by this article.

When the professors saw Mei Yiqi's expression, they were even more curious, and their eyes fell on the articles in Mei Yiqi's hands.

Under the gazes of everyone, Mei Yiqi's expression changed constantly, from solemn to solemn, from solemn to solemn. After a few minutes, Mei Yiqi put down the article with both hands, turned her head to the right, and carefully handed it to her body. Chen Yinke, the deputy editor-in-chief: "He Shou, read carefully."

"it is good."

Seeing that Mei Yiqi was so solemn, Chen Yinke did not dare to neglect, nodded, took the article with both hands, and cast his deep eyes towards the beginning of the article.

"On the Significance of Cartographic Standards to the Development of my country's Industrialization" - Zhang San.

This is?

Seeing this title, Chen Yinke frowned slightly. He was extremely smart and immediately understood the reason for Wen Yiduo and Mei Yiqi's attitude.

There are a lot of guesses in his mind, don't think too much, just read and read carefully before making judgments, with this mentality, Chen Yinke moved his eyes down and carefully read the paragraphs of the entire article.

Ye Qisun and Zhuang Qianding on the side waited silently without urging.

"call……"

After a few minutes, Chen Yinke, who was reading quietly, let out a long breath, and his serious face turned calm. Ye Qisun on the right, instructed: "Hongjuan, be careful."

When the words fell, the manuscript in his hand was handed to Ye Qisun.

With curiosity and doubts, Ye Qisun took the manuscript with his right hand. He only read the first half of the text, and then he froze in place. His face was like Mei Yiqi and Chen Yinke, showing seriousness and solemnity. After a short rest, he continued to go. See below.

Looking at Ye Qisun's demeanor and reaction, Zhuang Qianding, who was sitting in the last position, became more and more curious and endured his inner emotions.

"This is?!" In the next second, Zhuang Qianding, who was the leader of the Mechanical Engineering Department and the Tsinghua standard-making team, immediately made an unbelievable voice when he saw the content of the manuscript.

incredible!

Zhuang Qianding couldn't believe what he saw.

His hands trembled slightly, Zhuang Qianding kept holding back the excitement in his heart and forced himself to read the entire article. After reading it, a pair of blood-red eyes immediately turned to Wen Yiduo who was standing in the middle: "Brother Yousan, Where's the artwork? Where's the rest of the artwork?!"
