Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 39 39
Zhang Henshui is not just talking nonsense.

Nowadays, the new literature produced under the New Culture Movement is the trend in the literary world. If the novels of the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School are written for entertainment and entertainment, if they are well written, they can make money, but the authors always feel that they are inferior to those new literature writers. Wait a minute.

He was admired by Liang Yusheng, so he took the pen name "Hayu", and Gong Baiyu, who was called "the master of martial arts in the 40s and [-]s" by Jin Yong, is a famous martial arts master at home and abroad.

He was also a believer in new literature when he was young. He had several correspondences with brothers Lu Xun and Zhou Zuoren. He even went to the home of Mr. Lu Xun in Badaowan to borrow and return books. To teach it.

But later, Gong Baiyu's family fell into decline, and he realized that "living is the most important thing in life", so he had to bow his head in front of the high remuneration, and began to make a living by serializing martial arts novels in newspapers.

Although he became popular with "Twelve Money Darts" and his economic situation improved greatly, he not only felt ashamed but also contemptuous of his own martial arts creations. , This is a disgrace to the North China literary world today."

Gong Baiyu feels that the famous flower has fallen into a mess, and his soul is broken in Lanqiao. He thinks that he has failed Mr. Lu Xun's ardent expectations for him, and feels ashamed to see Lu Xun again, so he automatically cut off contact.

This can be seen from the literary status of martial arts novel writers in the period of the Republic of China.

It has been a week since "Legend of the Condor Heroes" was serialized on "Yi Shi Bao", the sales volume of the newspaper has increased slightly, and the editorial department has also received several letters from readers about this novel, and someone asked for the details of Ms. Yao Fulan , some people hope to add more words in the daily serialization.

That's right, even though Chen Muwu had already handed in a [-]-word manuscript to the editorial department, "Yishi Bao" still published serials at a daily rate of [-] words.

The main reason is that there is only so much space in each supplement. If you want to increase the number of words in the novel, you must either delete other content, or you can only issue one more four pages in each issue.

No matter which of the above two methods is adopted, there are great risks, so Cheng She and I decided to observe for a while before making a decision.

Zhang Henshui naturally thought that Chen Muwu was well-dressed and able to write such a good novel, but he didn't want to use his real name because he couldn't save face and lose face.

As soon as we met today, he confirmed his thoughts even more. It turned out that Chen Muwu's achievements in science were already high enough to be able to give lectures at Bei University, so it's no wonder he looked down on such a low-level status as a martial arts novelist.

Especially Chen Muwu didn't think so at all.

The reason why he used a pseudonym is to pay tribute to Mr. Jin Yong whose work was plagiarized by him.

The second is that he is afraid that his relatives and friends will come to ask questions after reading the novel, and he finds it troublesome.

Especially his elder brother, if Chen Muqiao asked him about his motivation for writing and the whereabouts of his manuscript fees, Chen Muwu was afraid that he would not be able to explain clearly.

That's right, he wasn't going to tell his elder brother about those calligraphy and paintings, he was afraid that having so many treasures hidden at home would bring unnecessary trouble to his elder brother.

Ye Gongchuo, Chen Muwu's old principal, fled to Hong Kong because of a Maogong tripod that he targeted. His nephew, Ye Gongchao, almost died under Xiao Ben's seven times of torture.

Zhang Henshui originally wanted to describe the situation of the lecture in the newspaper, but he didn't expect to be fascinated by Chen Muwu's lecture.

He admired Chen Muwu not only for his superb scientific attainments, but also for his deep research foundation in history. He could easily read the old stories of the Western Han and New Dynasties more than 1000 years ago. No wonder he could write such a good story as "Shooting the Condors"!
When he heard Chen Muwu's last open question, it caused Zhang Henshui's infinite reverie.

If he could really go back in time, when would he go back?
Is it at the end of the Qin Dynasty to help Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, avoid the defeat of Gaixia?
Or go to the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, so that Prime Minister Zhuge will no longer die before leaving the army?

Is it to prevent the occurrence of "Jingkang Shame", or to avoid the regret of "Courier's Hate"?

Did he follow Yuan Dushi to Liaodong to kill Hou Jin Jiannu, or did he follow Guan Tianpei to bombard the British devils in Humen?

……

Naturally, Chen Muwu never expected that one of his lectures would lead Zhang Henshui, a master of the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School, to want to write time-travel novels.

He only knew that his last lecture today was the most successful of the five lectures in half a month.

After the two-hour lecture ended, the audience applauded thunderously, but each had their own thoughts.

Mr. Lu Xun is proud that China has such a talented person in scientific research as Chen Muwu, and he is also happy that his second brother can associate with Chen and Ma's Zhilan Yushu.

……

Ma Yuzao, Qian Xuantong and other disciples of Zhang Taiyan thought it was time to write a reference book that could compare the ancient year names with the Western and Hijri calendars.

The question of Chen Muwu's year name made them calculate in their minds for a long time. If it wasn't for the big professor Chen Yuan who came to the rescue in time, they would almost have been unable to get off the stage. 【1】

Chen Muwu went to study physics instead of devoting himself to history. Did the historical circle lose a talent?
……

Yan Renguang, the head of the physics department, discussed with Xia Yuanzhen, Ding Xilin and other professors. After listening to these five lectures, everyone confirmed that Chen Muwu's knowledge of physics is very profound.

Although he is very young and does not have a master's degree from a foreign university, can he be hired to teach at Bei University?
Do you need to ask the acting principal what he means?
……

Jiang Menglin, the principal of Bei University, who was worried about money, was thinking about how to speak so that Chen Muwu could authorize the publishing department of Bei University to organize and publish the content of these five lectures?
He thought that after the publication of this book, he would definitely make a lot of money, which would relieve Bei Da's urgent need of not being able to pay his wages.

It seems that Professor Hu Shizhi really has a way to invite Chen Muwu to the school to give lectures without spending a penny from the school.

……

Hu Shi was complacent, and Chen Muwu's lecture was a great success, and Hu Shi's contribution cannot be denied.

Next, he only needs to persuade Chen Muwu to study at Cornell University in the United States, and he can earn enough face in front of Schulman, and he can also regard himself as a teacher in front of Chen Muwu.

I had my teacher Dewey in the past, I have American Minister Shulman now, and in the future, I will have Chen Muwu, a young man from the barbarian family, who will continue to improve my reputation.

A little Zhang Junmai wants to imitate his fame by accompanying Du Lishu to give lectures in China, is he worthy?
It's just that painting a tiger is not an anti-dog!
……

A few days later, Zhang Junmai, who was about to provoke a debate between science and metaphysics, was in deep thought after listening to the speech. He was going to Tsinghua University next week to give a speech on "Outlook of Life". Do you need to revise the manuscript?
I heard that Miss Lin, whom my former brother-in-law has been chasing after, and her father also came to the scene to listen to the lecture. After it is over, do you want to tell Lin Changmin that Xu Zhimo is a chaotic Chen Shimei, let him take care of himself My daughter, don't fall into the trap of his rhetoric?
……

Lin Changmin accidentally heard that the American envoy was going to attend a lecture at Bei University, and he had nothing to do today, so he came along to join in the fun.

Looking at the knowledgeable and personable Chen Muwu on the stage, he suddenly felt that it would be nice to find such a talented son-in-law for his daughter-in-law. Isn't it much better than Xu Zhimo who has been with him to the lecture today?
When I go back, I will find out who Chen Muwu's son is and what his family background is like. 【2】

……

Only Xu Zhimo, who only pursued "love, beauty and freedom" in his life, was the most unrestrained. He was the first to stand up and slapped the loudest. Great talent!"
