Chapter 169 Just Issue a Graduation Certificate Directly
Zhao Chuanxin's so-called low-key is actually not low-key in the eyes of others.

His outfits are cross-age, but in line with aesthetics.

There are rich people who wear jade pendants around their waists and gemstones on top of their round hats, but it is very rare for him to wear various chains around his neck.

More people will only hang pocket watches on their chests.

The old white man smiled at Zhao Chuanxin: "Hello, my name is Thomas Chamberlain. Can you speak English?"

As soon as he spoke, he was an old intellectual, and Zhao Chuanxin was very familiar with that polite and slightly arrogant middle-class tone.

"Old man, what do you want to say?"

As soon as Zhao Chuanxin opened his mouth, he was a rascal.

His English accent is very mixed, and he can hear the intonation of the United States. The base seems to be a southern accent, but it is not obvious.

In fact, Zhao Chuanxin didn't even understand his tone of voice.

At the beginning, it was bad English, and then slowly the endings rose, and it sounded like a southern American accent.After a trip to the United States, I first learned oral English in the west, and then I was influenced by the eastern accent when I came to New York.

Later, he simply gave up correcting, anyway, you can understand it.

Thomas Chamberlain was taken aback.

He felt that Zhao Chuanxin's dress was not noble, but he had a unique temperament.

I thought I could be more polite, but I didn't expect the tone to be quite bad.

"Do you want to study English in the United States?"

The journey is long, if you don't talk anymore, it's not good, if you continue talking, you will look hot on your face and cold on your ass.

In the end, Thomas Chamberlain could only ask indifferently.

"No. I've been fluent in more than 50 languages ​​since I was born."

Hearing Zhao Chuanxin's words, Thomas Chamberlain's son Rollin Chamberlain's eyes widened.

He's grown up so big, he's never heard of this kind of bullshit, okay?
He couldn't help but sneered: "So, sir, are you proficient in Japanese?"

"Not proficient."

"What about Russian?"

"Not proficient."

"What about Spanish?"

"Not proficient."

Grandpa is convinced!

What are you blowing if you are not proficient?
Looking at the "囧" on the faces of the two of them, Zhao Chuanxin laughed: "So, you two, what are you doing in China?"

Luo Lin Chamberlain said: "My father is a geologist. He is now the president of the Chicago Academy of Sciences. "Constructing the Hypothesis of the Cause of Ice Ages Based on Atmospheric Conditions" was written by my father. He came to China for a geological survey."

Seeing how he introduced his father and boasted about his familiarity with his past deeds, Zhao Chuanxin understood the cooperation between the two.

People can't brag about themselves, but the effect will be different if there are people nearby.

Hearing the word Bingchuan, a movie appeared in Zhao Chuanxin's mind: "The Day After Tomorrow".

He blurted out: "Global warming?"

Thomas Chamberlain: "You know?"

The popular actor Rollin Chamberlain hurriedly explained: "My father was one of the first scientists who proposed the concept of 'global warming'. In addition, my father also dabbled in astronomy."

Now, the father and father looked at Zhao Chuanxin with admiration.

At least Zhao Chuanxin must be in constant contact with the world's cutting-edge science and technology, otherwise he would not know the concept of global warming.

In today's China, if you go out and shout "global warming", even those masters of Chinese studies will be stupefied.

Zhao Chuanxin rolled his eyes and asked: "Since you are studying global warming, have you considered the environmental pollution brought about by the second industrial revolution? Have you considered reducing carbon emissions and increasing the area of ​​green plants?" To improve global warming? Then, have you thought about delaying global warming by blocking the absorption of carbon dioxide by land desertification?"

The grandfather and two were dumbfounded.

Some of them thought about it, some didn't.

Because these series of problems are related, a single hair will affect the whole body.

As soon as they heard it, they knew that it would definitely work in theory.But to achieve this, I am afraid it will be as difficult as climbing the sky.

"Unexpectedly, sir, you have such a deep insight into the matter of global warming!"

Rollin Chamberlain served.

Thomas Chamberlain's eyes lit up: "You are a very visionary young man. Do you want to go to the Chicago Academy of Sciences for further study? If you want, I can persuade the school to make an exception."

Liu Baogui, who was listening in the cloud, saw the two foreigners, young and old, first indifferent and disdainful, but soon became eager, and was very puzzled by this change in attitude.

However, he vaguely understood one thing: Zhao Chuanxin succeeded in pretending again!
This made him envious.

So, before Zhao Chuanxin could answer, he first said to Zhao Chuanxin, "Chuanxin, teach me English later."

You see, if you don't know English, you will miss a lot of opportunities.

"When I buy you a few English books, you will be self-taught and win at the starting line. I want to teach you, but family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs require me to worry about everything. I really don't have time to spare." Being a teacher is also very difficult. It's fun, but it sucks to be a teacher every day.

When the silkworm is dead, the silk will be exhausted, and the torch will turn into gray and tears will begin to dry.

Zhao Chuanxin was unwilling to burn himself.

He did not answer Thomas Chamberlain directly, but decided to raise the level first: "At the end of the last century, the automobile was invented. When the automobile changed from the heavy steam engine to the internal combustion engine, it became popular. Have you ever thought about it? , Hundreds of thousands, or even millions of vehicles exhaust exhaust every day, how much carbon dioxide will be produced?"

Thomas Chamberlain was stunned: "Now the car usage rate is still very small, so it's unfounded to worry about?"

"Hehe." Zhao Chuanxin smiled disdainfully: "By the time you die, believe it or not, there will be at least hundreds of thousands of cars in the world?"

By 1950, the world's car sales reached 1000 million.After that, it increased year by year, until the 21st century, it is no longer a dream for every household in developed countries to have a car.

"I think this amount of emissions has very little impact on the environment. However, your starting point is scientific." Thomas Chamberlain nodded in praise: "So, are you willing to come to the Chicago Academy of Sciences for further study?"

Zhao Chuanxin has that little stuff in his stomach, and he said it all in one breath. Did he go and stare at a group of sixty-year-old professors?
"Well, I want to go, but I don't have time right now. It would be great if I could be issued a diploma directly."

He is actually very tempted. When he lives in the 21st century, he will show a college diploma from the early [-]th century. It must be amazing.

If I can get a title like a professor, when the future is full of experts, I can stand up and say: I am a professor at the beginning of the [-]th century, what do you have to brag about?

Rollin Chamberlain said to himself that you are really shameless.

"Well, there has never been such a precedent in the Academy of Sciences." Thomas Chamberlain naturally refused: "And, you have to learn knowledge, right?"

Although he couldn't go now, Zhao Chuanxin felt that it was a pity for Liao, so he said, "Mr. Chamberlain, you can leave me a contact information, and there may be a chance to bother you in the future."

After leaving contact information with each other, the atmosphere became harmonious.

Although Zhao Chuanxin's knowledge of geology such as glaciers is limited, he reads a lot of marketing accounts, and he can be said to be the pinnacle of nonsense.

In terms of pretending to be forceful, it's really not his Zhao Chuanxin boasting, the zebra's head-clean and logical!
What is the reversal of the magnetic field at the two poles of the earth, the hypothesis of the cause of the mass extinction, the annihilation of the great flood, and so on.

Swallow the jujube and instill it in the father and son.

It might be someone else, and we must try our best to refute Zhao Chuanxin's claims that seem whimsical at this time.

But Thomas Chamberlain was different. He published "The Method of Multiple Hypotheses" in 1890, which talked about the scientific method of how to propose hypotheses and then give detailed data arguments.

This paper is considered a milestone in the history of the scientific method.

When he got off the train, Thomas Chamberlain was still chattering: "Ethan, you should really go to America to study. Here, your talent will be buried in poverty and war.

Your mind deserves a better education. "

Ethan is the pseudonym Zhao Chuanxin used when he was in the United States. His full name is Ethan Zhao.

Even the young and energetic Rollin Chamberlain was convinced by Zhao Chuanxin's mouth.

It's too damn good to blow.

With regard to these hypotheses, if he and his father tried to prove them, they would die without a clue.

Zhao Chuanxin looked up to the sky and sighed: "Hey, it seems that real gold like me is destined to shine!"

Thomas and Rollin Chamberlain: "…"

This young man has a flexible mind, unconstrained thinking, and enough knowledge reserves, but his behavior is too... sloppy!

Patting the old man on the shoulder: "Mr. Chamberlain, promise me that you will not value me so much in the future, otherwise I will be proud!

Goodbye, Rollin! "

Along the way, Liu Baogui was suffocated.

It would be very cool to pretend by himself, but it would make him scratch his head to watch other people pretend, especially all the way, he couldn't wait to shout: He can replace it!
After leaving the station, Zhao Chuanxin asked Liu Baogui who was feeling uncomfortable, "Do you have maggots on your body?"

"Hehe, no, I must learn English when I go back. What did you talk about? I saw that they valued you very much later on, so you just listen to the lecture."

"These two are geologists, scientists from the United States.

They saw that I was full of heaven and knew that I must be extremely talented, so they asked me for professional help.

I answered a few words casually, and they were astonished. "

"Really, don't lie to me, you are so lazy that you are not even familiar with the terrain around Lugang Town, you know shitty geology."

"Ham, for a dusty pearl like me, it can burst into colorful colors with just a little breath. It's really rare for you."

"Hehe, you really dare to say anything just to pretend to be aggressive."

When they arrived in Tianjin, they had to take a rest.

The current train is extremely slow, with a speed of 30 kilometers per hour. The old cows in Lugang Town will be whipped if they dare to pull the train at this speed.

As a result, a group of people were numb from the bumping buttocks. They ate and slept well here. After contacting a batch of supplies, they took a boat to Shanghai the next day to continue to raise supplies and sent them to Hong Kong Island one after another.

This is very troublesome work.

Zhang Zhankui, the local snake in Tianjin, has been waiting outside the train station for a long time.

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin and the others come out, they rushed to greet them: "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Liu, hello."

Because Liu Baogui's previous large amount of support was used for top and bottom management, Zhang Zhankui was already the deputy general office of the Northern Patrol Bureau at this time, and his cards were very big.

Zhang Zhankui, who is also a master of martial arts himself, dared not take Joe at all in front of Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin went over and patted him on the shoulder: "Haha, Zhaodong, don't come here without any problems. It seems that the position of the general manager is very supportive. You are quite rich."

Zhaodong is the name of Zhang Zhankui.

Zhou Yuxiang was originally Zhang Zhankui's assistant, but after Zhang Zhankui's promotion, his belly grew bigger than before.

He shrugged and said, "Mr. Zhao, my eldest brother has actually solved many major cases in the past two years, and he is now famous with Governor Yuan."

"Oh?" Zhao Chuanxin asked with great interest: "That's very good. Keep working hard. It's best to push the one above you down. That old boy Yuan Datou is still enthusiastically advocating a constitutional monarchy?"

Zhou Yuxiang was stunned. Two years later, this Mr. Zhao is still crazy.Zhao Chuanxin was the first one who dared to call Yuan Shikai Yuan Datou in Tianjin.

There are no cars, but a row of rickshaws parked outside the station.

Zhao Chuanxin stretched his legs and looked at the coachman with a dirty towel on his shoulders. He looked shy and skinny, and shook his head and said, "You guys take the car. My legs are numb. Follow me."

Everyone is puzzled.

Even Liu Jiahui didn't quite understand why she had to walk.

Probably only Gao Li, who is usually taciturn but delicate, knows a thing or two about it.

He whispered: "If you don't take the car, there will be a driver who won't get the fare."

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly said: "Oh, get in the car, let's go!"

Everyone didn't know what Gao Li said quietly, which made Zhao Chuanxin change his mind immediately.

But they all look at Gao Li with admiration, and not many people can persuade Zhao Chuanxin to change his mind easily.

Vice President Zhang's dinner is also quite well arranged.

The best restaurant in Gulou East, the largest private room.

After entering, not only food and wine were served, but also various snacks.Ear-eye fried cakes, small steamed buns in Gulou East, beef in Xiaohuoxiang, boiled fish and fried crabs in Mujia Restaurant in Xitou are not the specialties of this place, but the restaurant has no complaints about take-out food.

This time Zhang Zhankui knew that Zhao Chuanxin was coming, so he really put his heart into it.

Let them not only have a rest, but also eat the delicacies of Tianjin without having to visit everywhere in person.

Zhao Chuanxin naturally expressed his affection: "Zhaodong is interested, let's eat first."

Because I still have to work, I drink very sparingly.

Zhao Chuanxin inquired about the changes in Tianjin City and the current delicate situation, and asked about some great powers.

Since the last time he came to the bank to withdraw money, the vigilance around the bank has increased a lot.

Zhao Chuanxin secretly sighed that it was a pity, if he hadn't something to do to make it public, he really wanted to withdraw the money again.

Perhaps it was the change of position that caused Zhang Zhankui's personality to change to a certain extent.

Originally, he was more honest and upright, but now he is much more tactful.

While drinking and drinking, he repeatedly praised Zhao Chuanxin for his benevolence and righteousness.

"Right now, there are not many people who can take the life and death of the people at heart.

Those officials demanded food and cards, and even dared to withhold disaster relief funds, and watched the people displaced and starved to death everywhere.

Mr. Zhao can care about the people and rescue disasters in person, which is really a role model for our generation!

I respect Mr. Zhao. "

There are seven points of truth and three points of falsehood.

"Zhaodong has said it!"

Zhao Chuanxin took a sip, while Zhang Zhankui drank it down.

Zhao Chuanxin, who is in excellent health, is always tightly controlled in terms of his drinking capacity.

In the past two years, it has been [-]-[-].

He drank less alcohol and drank more tea, and soon his stomach would accumulate water, so he got up and said, "Drink, I'll make it easier for you."

When he got to the toilet, he saw someone inside, and he slapped it hard a few times: "Quickly pull it, you're so slippery."

"Where is the silly Belle Belle, are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"

When Zhao Chuanxin heard it, he became narrow-minded: "Jenema is like something, occupying the latrine and not shit."
