A Man of Science and Engineering in Troubled Times Wandering in the Late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 199 "Descendants of Confucius"

Li Yu knew Hideyo Noguchi, and his portrait was still on the 1000 yen banknote.

This gentleman has great achievements in snake venom, syphilis, yellow fever, etc.

The Japanese regard him as a hero, the father of bacteriology.

But as a Chinese, when I heard that Japan is engaged in bacteriology, hehe.

This person later impressively pioneered human experiments on Japanese doctors. A few years later, he even injected syphilis to 146 hospital patients (including children) for syphilis research.

Hey, of course the Japanese don't mention this, and they might think it's an honor to be able to produce results.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this tradition and precedent that there will be the inhuman Unit 731 in the future.

Hideyo Noguchi was surprised by Li Yu's appearance. He walked over and said, "Mr. Tesla and Mr. Li Yu are really honored. I never expected to see two top scientific talents today!"

Hideyo Noguchi has already gained some fame in the American medical field. After all, there are still many residents in the western United States who are troubled by poisonous snakes, but he has not really become famous. Hideyo Noguchi continued: "Mr. Li Yu, you are the pride of our Orientals. .”

"Hello, Mr. Li Yu! I finally see you. My name is Kong Xiangxi."

During the Kangxi period, because there were too many people in the Kong family, there were [-] males alone, and the Kong family could not live in it no matter how big it was, so the family division was implemented, and [-] large families were formed according to the place names.

Fortunately, Li Yu is a time traveler and knows what Kong Xiangxi did later.

I have to say that this person's emotional intelligence is really high, but it's a pity that he can't use it on the right path.

Rockefeller said to Li Yu: "I found that Eastern people are very smart, so I accepted Noguchi-kun's application to enter Rockefeller University. In addition to your scientific achievements, I have strengthened my determination to invest in medical research in the East."

Kong Xiangxi said: "I am currently studying physical and chemical science and social science at Oberlin University in Ohio. I have been reading your writings and admire them very much. Fortunately, I heard that you visited the United States. After several inquiries, I found out where you are staying."

This is a good thing, Li Yu said: "In the words of the Chinese, it will be famous in history."

Neither Li Yu nor Tesla knew much about medicine, so they continued to chat for a while, and left after not staying here for too long.

Li Yu could no longer withstand his sugar-coated bullets, so he quickly stopped, "You still have many years to complete your studies, and it's too early to say that."

"That's true!" Kong Xiangxi said sternly, "I have collected all your papers and writings, and I have cut out all the newspaper reports and saved them. If you don't believe me, you can go to my residence in Ohio to read."

Kong Xiangxi said: "It should be so! The most important thing for our Confucius family is education."

Li Yu pretended to smile and said, "It's just a false name."

Li Yu naturally knew in his heart that Kong Xiangxi would fall into the eyes of money from now on. What boosted education, what revitalized industry, was nothing in the face of making money for the country.

He even wrote his name into the Confucius family tree.

It's worth following up.

Li Yu just smiled bitterly and said, "I hope you can remember what you said now."

Kong Xiangxi said modestly: "I went to private schools for many years when I was young, but now that the situation is changing, the only way to become rich and strong is to learn the science of foreigners."

"Hello, Kong...student." Li Yu couldn't laugh or cry, why did he come here.

After 2000, the Confucius family multiplied too much.The so-called eight mansions are similar to the royal family, that is, after the death of Duke Yansheng, the eldest son will inherit the title of Duke Yansheng and live in the Confucian mansion.But his younger brothers could only move out and live in separate families, forming various mansions.

Kong Xiangxi stated his intention of coming here: "I have seen a lot of reports about you in the newspapers, and you have applied for so many patents recently, which is so fascinating."

It's just that looking at it now, it's really unexpected that this person later became one of the four major families, and has been in charge of the national government's financial power for more than ten years.

Well, since then he has been claiming that he belongs to the Confucius family, and this identity has brought him a lot of benefits.

In the future, it is also the Japanese who regard the Chinese as the sick men of East Asia.

Kong Xiangxi promised: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely stand by your side forever, after all, you are the teacher in my heart."

This sugar-coated cannonball made Li Yu feel very comfortable. He is indeed a person who will be able to prosper in both government and business in the future.

After all, the Confucius family has never compiled a family tree since the Qianlong Dynasty.

Li Yu really did not expect that several of his papers would also influence Kong Xiangxi, although he could not really engage in science afterwards.

Kong Xiangxi said again: "Also, you are also my idol! You are really like a star in the sky if you can study mathematics and physics to that level."

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?"

Li Yu said: "It is not easy to come to the United States to study now."

Li Yu pointed to the laboratory behind him: "It's right here."

Kong Xiangxi said: "Mr. is right. After reading your papers and writings, I know that my level is too low. In front of you, I am like a drop of water in a river. Therefore, I plan to continue my studies and improve my knowledge of physical and chemical science."

Kong Xiangxi later got acquainted with Kong Xiangmian, the eldest grandson of the eight masters of the Confucian Mansion, and it was through him that he led the way into the Confucius family.

Kong Xiangxi vowed: "Of course! This is my ideal!"

Including Hideyo Noguchi, this person also has a very obvious duality.

They went back and continued to make several radios.

"It would be great if that's the case," Li Yu said.

The young Kong Xiangxi still has this idea, but he can only say that people will change.

Li Yu said again: "I hope you can do it in the future."

After Kong Xiangxi went into the room and saw Li Yu's patent achievements, he became more and more Li Yu's little fan, "Mr. Li Yu, you are a genius! I must follow your example!"

Therefore, Kong Xiangxi has the right to enjoy the matter of admitting to the Confucius family.

Kong Xiangxi will enter Yale two years later, and finally obtained a master's degree in physics and chemistry from Yale University.

When he returned to Fifth Avenue, Li Yu saw a Chinese man waiting for him from a distance, and Li Yu recognized him immediately.

It sounds a little like what Liu Bei meant when he said that he was the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan.

Kong Xiangxi came to the United States with the help of several missionaries, but he really said "boost education and revitalize career" when he was studying.

There is no way to say 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.

What a big flag.

Kong Xiangxi said: "So I cherish this opportunity very much. In the future, my ideal is to promote education and revitalize industry!"

However, this is not all about Kong Xiangxi clinging to the Confucian family. At that time, Cai Yuanpei passed a bill to take back [-]% of the Confucian family, and the remaining [-]% was used by the Confucian family.In the end, Kong Xiangxi let the Kong family keep the Confucius mansion completely, "the macho man descended from the sky".Kong Xiangxi was also considered to be the most promising member of the Kong family during the Republic of China, so the Confucius family and Kong Xiangxi cling to each other and take advantage of each other.

Li Yudao: "I can only say that I am also practicing my ideals."

Li Yu said, "I didn't expect that your major was also physical and chemical science."

The Rockefeller Foundation will not support the construction of Union Medical College for more than ten years, but it would be great if it could be earlier.Because according to the timeline, the foundation has been established since 1906.

Li Yu hurriedly said, "Okay, I believe."

Kong Xiangxi was quite polite.Now he is just an ordinary student, and his family background is not prominent.

Kong Xiangxi said: "Although I am already in a Western-style school, you are a saint in my heart like my ancestor Yan Shenggong, no, you are a saint!"

Kong Xiangxi said: "Mathematics and physics are difficult, and it takes a lot of effort, but I think I can handle it. Can you let me visit your laboratory?"

Li Yu smiled and said, "You really think so?"

Kong Xiangxi followed immediately: "Your ideal is also my ideal! I will definitely follow my husband's lead in the future."

Li Yu said: "Reading more books is naturally excellent."

The Japanese nation is so special that even Japanese sociologists cannot fully understand their own national character.

——Actually, he spent 1000 oceans to help Kong Jia repair his family tree.

Kong Xiangxi entered the "Zhifang household" among the "sixty households" after the division of the Kong family.

Kong Xiangxi said: "I would like to follow the teacher's teaching. In the future, if there are any questions that you don't understand in your studies, please ask the teacher for advice."

Li Yu couldn't refuse him. After all, Kong Xiangxi was just a student, so he replied, "If it's 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!"

Afterwards, Kong Xiangxi actually wrote to Li Yu to ask for advice on many physics issues. Of course, it was extremely simple for Li Yu, but at least Kong Xiangxi benefited a lot when he was studying.
