Go back to the past and be a schoolboy

Chapter 80

Let's set the timeline to one month later, and Cheng Nuo's letter finally crossed the Pacific Ocean and slowly arrived in Zhu Kezhen's hands, along with two jugs of rice wine from his hometown.

He didn't rush to open the envelope, carefully put the rice wine on the table, and impatiently opened the wine seal and poured himself a cup, smelling the aroma of the wine would make him drunk, and taking a sip carefully would make him drunk.

"That's right, it's the taste of my hometown Kuaiji. Zhiyuan is interesting enough, and you can think of me when you return to China." Looking at the calendar on the wall and counting the time carefully, Zhu Kezhen couldn't help feeling: "Time is so fast, I didn't expect this It has been seven years since I left my hometown, and I have almost forgotten my mother's appearance, so I can only rely on this little rice wine to appease my feelings."

At this time, a young man came in from the door, holding a bottle of rice wine in his hand. Seeing Zhu Kezhen drinking by himself, he deliberately pretended to be very angry.

"Ou Fang, you are not authentic. I was thinking of sharing the wine sent by Zhiyuan with you, but I didn't expect to drink it first. How about frying another plate of peanuts for you?"

Zhu Kezhen hurriedly pulled her fellow countryman over, took a clean cup and poured it herself, and said with an apologetic smile: "Lifu, you know me well, I'm not a person who eats alone, I'm so homesick, just happened to send something from Zhiyuan , Satisfying my hunger, I didn’t touch the other bottle, it’s also for you.”

"Okay, Zhiyuan also sent me two bottles, you'd better keep yours for yourself to drink." Jiang Jiangzuo smiled and asked: "By the way, I didn't say anything from Zhiyuan over there. Is there anything going on?"

"Hiss, don't tell me, I'm too greedy, I haven't opened the letter yet." After resealing the wine seal, Zhu Kezhen opened the letter and read it, with smiles on his face, anger at times, and sadness at times. With a calm face, he handed over the letter.

Jiang Jiangzuo was stunned by this series of expressions, and after receiving the letter, he blurted out: "Zhiyuan won't change his career to become a writer, what are you writing, it will make your face sunny and rainy for a while."

In fact, the content of the letter was very simple. It talked about a series of changes after Cheng Nuo returned to China, and finally attached an invitation from the Academy of Sciences to Zhu Kezhen, hoping that he would contribute to domestic science together after returning to China after finishing his Ph.D.

After reading the letter, Jiang Zuo put the letter aside and sighed: "Compared with the Academy of Sciences, the Chinese Science Society we established before is simply a baby. No wonder Zhiyuan smiled at the beginning. It turned out that he had greater ambitions. I even persuaded him to go back to China directly after graduation, and he can get a doctorate with his talent, but now it seems that I am short-sighted."

"Zhiyuan's ideas have always been relatively detached. Although he is only a non-staff member, he helped us a lot when we ran the "Science" magazine." Zhu Kezhen nodded, and then said: "I don't know if you have seen that the letter mentioned The big powers have more than 30 weather stations in our country, but they are basically controlled by foreigners, of which the Japanese alone have built [-] stations, which are distributed from the northeast of Wanwandu, and their purpose is not simple."

At this time, Japan is more concerned about our country than the Beiyang government. Behind the meteorological stations built and managed by China, there are different entities such as Guandong Hall, Embassies and Consulates in China, South Manchuria Railway Co., Ltd., the Japanese Military Department, and Japanese puppet agencies. It is for better aggression in the future.

Jiang Jiangzuo said: "Isn't this the reason why our group came out? I hope that when I return to China, I can become a spark of hope. Now that Zhiyuan has set up the stove when I go back, I'm sure you and I can do a lot."

As an expert, although Zhu Kezhen has more confidence in Cheng Nuo, she is more pessimistic about the entire domestic meteorological environment: "The construction and management of domestic meteorological stations are different from the subjects of observation, with different purposes and different observation items. Differences in times, statistical methods of observation records, etc. all lead to differences and inconsistencies in meteorological data and data, and the overall effect is really hard to say."

Jiang Jiangzuo looked optimistic: "If it's not difficult, what do we need to do, but after all, I can still make a rough guess about meteorology, but I haven't been able to figure it out at the weather station."

Zhu Kezhen thought for a while and explained: "In fact, from the perspective of meteorology and science itself, meteorological stations are the basis for the development of meteorological careers. From the perspective of weather forecasts, the temperature, humidity, wind force, wind direction, air pressure and other elements provided by the stations , can provide basic data support for weather formation, and serve daily life, agriculture, aviation, navigation and other fields, as I said in my heart, if we can forecast hail in Jiangsu Province in advance, maybe the situation will be better afterwards.”

The remarkable achievements in the aviation industry of developed countries in Europe and the United States are inseparable from meteorological stations and their weather observations and forecasts. In 1929, the US aviation line was 700 kilometers long, twice that of our railway line at the same time, and it was also possible to fly at night. This all benefits from weather stations and their weather forecasting technology.

A meteorological observation station is set up every [-] miles along the air route, and the weather is forecasted every three hours, and the weather situation within six hours can be known with certainty.

In the early years, Zhu Kezhen did not study meteorology, but agronomy at the University of Illinois. All of his studies were mechanization and large-scale farm production. Obviously, the self-sufficient small-scale farming economy in China was not needed. After graduation, he simply chose meteorology in the Department of Earth Sciences.At that time meteorology was just a new discipline, and only Harvard University offered it in the United States, so I started to get acquainted with Cheng Nuo and others.

He is now a Ph.D. student and has published many papers, such as "The Theory of Rainfall and Storms in China", "Some New Facts about the Typhoon Center", etc. He is well-known in the American geography circle and has been accepted into the American Geographical Society. Member, and received the Emerson Award, as long as he can, he can stay in the United States and get a well-paid position.

"In fact, our country is the first country in the world to measure rainfall. As early as the 15th century, the rain gauge invented by ancient Chinese meteorologists was introduced to North Korea. Now alas!" Zhu Kezhen picked up the wine bottle and drank it vigorously.

Seeing that he was about to finish his drink, Jiang Jiangzuo hurried forward to hold him back: "Hey, hey, that's not the case, what are you doing?"

"Lifu, just leave me alone and let me get drunk. Today is a rare good thing. After drinking this wine, waking up tomorrow is ten times the effort of yesterday. Get your degree and return to China as soon as possible." Said. After finishing speaking, Zhu Kezhen burst into tones again.

"Okay, I'll accompany you too!" Jiang Jiang Zuo also picked up the wine bottle and drank it, and the clothes on his body were wet.

"Dripping all over the sleeves, and even singing Chu's wild songs, what a joy!"

　I'm not thinking well today, so I can only post a small chapter, sorry everyone.
