Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 354: China's Future Hope! Alkali Production Method is a Hit!

"You little brat, I can't control you now. Do whatever you want. As long as it's good for the country, I'll be happy."

Zhang Taiyan, sitting on the bed, originally wanted to call Bao Guowei into the room to have a chat, but the boy kept avoiding him, probably because he was afraid of his punishment.

Thinking of the young boy he met in Hangzhou at the beginning of the year, Bao Guowei was still a bit student-like at that time, and was a little restrained after entering the Zhang Mansion.

But after that, Bao Guowei's transformation was so amazing that even Zhang Taiyan himself could not understand it.

To be honest, it was I who asked Bao Guowei to go on the trip to Tianjin, so there is really no reason to punish him.

However, Zhang Taiyan was just talking.

There is no teacher who doesn't want to see his apprentice achieve success.

In the past, people were simply worried that Bao Guowei was not doing his job properly, being good at a little bit of everything but mastering nothing.

But now, there seems to be nothing to worry about.

However, what Zhang Taiyan didn't understand was that, wasn't the purpose of going to Tianjin to find Hou Debang to research some miraculous medicine?

How did a joint subtraction come about?

Zhang Taiyan didn't understand chemistry, so after seeing the newspaper, he looked for several related books and read them carefully several times, but he still didn't quite understand it.

But we have already understood how important this invention is to China today.

He exhaled, put the book aside, and rubbed his eyebrows.

When reading ancient books, Zhang Taiyan would not feel sleepy for three days and three nights, but when reading this science and engineering book, the densely packed symbols on it almost made Zhang Taiyan fall asleep.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

"How did that brat Bingwen study chemical engineering? How could he understand something so complicated and abstract?"

Although he was somewhat reluctant to admit defeat, Zhang Taiyan had to admit that he was old.

If he were thirty years younger, he would have devoted his energy to studying this advanced subject.

Zhang Taiyan was leaning against the head of the bed, with books scattered all over the bed.

Exhale.

Zhang Taiyan slowly lay down, leaned on the pillow, and looked up at the ceiling.

He couldn't help but sigh.

"Soda production in heavy chemical industry? World advanced level?"

"Boy, I really hope you can always be so amazing. I really hope that the future you talked about before can come true one day."

Peking University.

"Students, we need to look at problems dialectically. When facing the development of things, we must investigate their essence. Only by starting from the essence can we find the truly correct path. Nothing is extremely wrong, and nothing is extremely right."

On this day, Qian Xuantong was talking in a classroom at Peking University. He put his hands on the desk and these words came out unconsciously.

He smiled and gave an example.

"Just as we are now lagging behind Western countries and even Japan, we should look at the problem from the root and think about where we are losing.
China today is like a sick old man. It is impossible to use strong medicine, nor is it possible to take no medicine. The best way is to use the right medicine.

Treating the headache with the head and the foot pain with the foot is really not advisable."

Ever since he met "Zhou Mingcheng" at the train station last time, Qian Xuantong had a new understanding, and he would subtly incorporate these viewpoints into his lectures.

He has read many books recently, most of which are about Bao Bingwen. For some reason, after reading this person's book, he always feels full of energy.

Qian Xuantong looked at the audience with great enthusiasm and said.

"So whether it's race, cultural original sin or Chinese characters, they should not be the reason for China's decline."

At this time, different voices were inevitably heard from the audience. The students of Peking University are all gifted children, and sometimes they never give face to respected gentlemen.

A student stood up and said.

"Sir, have you forgotten that you once supported the abolition of Chinese characters? Why are you making such remarks now?"

The students always felt that Qian Xuantong seemed to be a completely different person after he came back from a few days of leave.

In the past, people used to clamor every day, saying things like, "If Chinese characters are not eliminated, China will not prosper."

Why is there a sharp turn now?

Qian Xuantong was not angry. He spread his hands and said, "It's very simple. I was wrong before. Now I believe that Chinese characters should not be abolished. I heard that Mr. Lin Yutang has developed an excellent Chinese character typewriter. I also got a simplified Chinese character plan from him. In the future, the problem of Chinese characters will not be a problem!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the students in the audience were suddenly in an uproar.

Is this still the Mr. Qian Xuantong who was very stubborn, rigid and inflexible?

How could a trip to the south lead to such a big change?

Some students even kept staring at Qian Xuantong's face, wondering who was impersonating him.

Suddenly, another student stood up and spoke.

"Sir, you actually said that, but do you know how to save our Chinese nation?"

This sentence can be said to have expressed the doubts of most students.

In this era, even the most gifted students at Peking University are deeply confused by this issue.

Many people cannot figure out this problem. They have great ambitions but have no idea where to start. They don’t know what the meaning of studying is.

But this is also an extremely profound question.

No one can tell clearly where China's direction is until it succeeds.

Both the Westernization Movement of the Qing Dynasty and the Beiyang Government seemed to have made efforts to some extent, but still failed.

So what is going on?

Everyone is looking forward to getting the answer to this question from Qian Xuantong, a highly respected gentleman.

“This is a very profound question, and I cannot give a precise answer.”

Qian Xuantong naturally cannot be conceited and think that he can solve this problem by himself. If he can solve it, the presidency will be his turn, Chang Guangtou.

"Ah~"

There were immediate sighs from the audience. Although they knew this would be the result, the students still felt very disappointed.

"but."

Qian Xuantong said "but", which made all the students raise their heads again.

He smiled and continued, "I may have glimpsed a little hope. Have any of you read Guns, Germs, and Steel? This book explains the rise and fall of the American continent. Perhaps from the comparison between Westerners and Native Americans, we can get a glimpse of the reasons for the advancement and backwardness of civilization."

Therefore, the follow-up of this class turned into Qian Xuantong explaining the content of "Guns, Germs, and Steel".

However, this book has been famous for a long time and has been made a must-read for students in many universities. Bao Guowei is also a popular figure among the younger generation.

The class was still very fulfilling.

Regardless of whether or not students get the answer, the most important thing is that they master learning methods and thinking skills during this discussion process.

"So that's how it is. The geographical environment also has a very important impact on the development of human society. Many Western European countries are maritime civilizations. It is precisely because of this that they were able to start the Age of Exploration first, complete primitive accumulation, and develop excellent technology!

It is really beneficial to have such a far-fetched and reasonable understanding of a country's development. I will also take a good look at this book!"

After class, a student waved his fist and spoke excitedly.

There were other students who sighed as they packed up their books.

"The teacher's class today was really unsatisfying. It was much more interesting than before."

"Yeah yeah!"

"Eh!"

Suddenly, someone noticed that just as Qian Xuantong walked out of the classroom, there was a commotion outside. "It seems like something big happened?"

The chattering outside the door made many students far away a little confused.

It was not until some students came closer that they realized Qian Xuantong was standing in a daze in the corridor with a newspaper in his hand.

Some people originally thought that Qian Xuantong was attacked by some fanatics and shouted something about supporting Mr. Qian.

But after seeing this scene, I can’t help but feel a little confused.

"Hahahahahaha!" Qian Xuantong suddenly burst into laughter when he saw the newspaper.

The students around were shocked.

Mr. Qian is crazy? What kind of news can make people so happy?

Some people couldn't help but lean over to take a look, and once they took a look, they couldn't take their eyes off it.

At this time, Qian Xuantong laughed and said again.

"As expected of Bao Bingwen! Really worthy of Bao Bingwen! He has given my countrymen real hope!"

A student finally read out the headline of the newspaper.

““Young literary giant Bao Guowei has made another achievement, the combined alkali production method gave birth to the Tianjin Yongli Factory!””

"This marks that our country has entered the forefront of the global alkali industry!"

For a moment, the students in the corridor were in an uproar.

Some were shocked, some were jealous, and some were inspired.

"Bao Guowei? Bao Bingwen? Is that the young literary giant Bao Bingwen?"

"It seems to be him. How can he be so evil and know everything?"

"Combined alkali production method? It's actually a completely new method of alkali production. How could Bao Bingwen come up with this across disciplines? This is something that even the world's top chemical scientists haven't been able to do."

Obviously, this is a student majoring in chemistry. According to his understanding, it is simply incomprehensible for a scholar to achieve this level.

A student nearby immediately explained.

"Hahaha, don't be so unbelievable. This news was publicly released by Mr. Hou Debang. How could it be false?"

Upon hearing this, all the Peking University students present were excited, especially after hearing that the company had reached the world's top level in alkali production.

Cheers from students could be heard in the corridor.

"Bao Bingwen! Bao Bingwen!"

Qian Xuantong was immersed in his own world.

He read countless works of Bao Guowei and studied his path to success.

Now all this has been verified on the other party!
When Qian Xuantong saw the news that Bao Guowei had developed a joint subtraction method, he seemed to have seen the true future of China!

Excited, he fixed his eyes on one spot.

Jinmen!

Zhou Mingcheng got off the train in Jinmen! And according to the time above, it seems to be completely consistent with Bao Guowei's whereabouts!

For a moment, Qian Xuantong felt as if his head had been hit hard.

Then he had an extremely bold idea: could this Zhou Mingcheng be Bao Guowei?

There must be no mistake, he is Bao Guowei. There is no other young man with such a charming demeanor in the world!

Qian Xuantong's heart was filled with excitement as he thought about this. He immediately climbed up the railing next to the classroom, stood on it, and looked down at everyone.

"Mr. Qian!"

The students around him were all worried for him. Although this was the first floor, falling from the railing was no joke.

But Qian Xuantong was unmoved, he spoke excitedly.

"Students, you all see it, as I said before, if you want to get things done, you must grasp the core logic of things, and use one method to understand all methods. This is the right way!

Bingwen was able to do these astonishing things at the age of seventeen, so how can we not be able to do it?

Students, study for the rise of China! Grasp the essence of things!

As Bao Bingwen wrote in Guns, Germs, and Steel, the rise and fall of a country and a nation is inevitable.

On this day, Mr. Qian Xuantong stood on the railing and gave a speech to Peking University students because he was inspired by Bao Guowei's deeds.

It will be forever engraved in Peking University’s history!
It was already the end of August, and Chiang Kai-shek, who was far away in Nanjing, received two pieces of good news, which made him feel that he was back to normal.

"Hahahahaha!"

Chiang Kai-shek's slightly hoarse laughter came from the Presidential Palace.

Inside the office, a bald head shook happily.

Chen Xun'en couldn't help but smile and said with a bow.

"Congratulations, Principal! Now that the North has been secured, we are about to win the Central Plains War, and now there is news from Tianjin. It can be said to be a double blessing!"

Historically, it was not until around September 9 that Xiao Liuzi officially announced his support for Nanjing, and it was not until the 10th that the message was officially sent to the whole country.

But the fact is that Chiang Kai-shek has always been in contact with Xiao Liuzi, and he is well aware of the influence of the Fengtian clique today.

Which side Xiao Liuzi leans towards basically determines the winner of this great war in the Central Plains.

A day or two before September, Chiang Kai-shek received this news from the north. At the same time, he also learned that Bao Guowei and Yongli Factory had jointly developed a joint subtraction method.

Chiang Kai-shek said happily as he walked around the room with his hands behind his back.

"I have said long ago that everything can be easily solved. Zhang Xueliang of the Fengtian clique will definitely support us. We have an incomparable advantage over the rebels. With Zhang Xueliang's help, the Northeast, Central Plains and North China will all be pacified!

I, Chang, can finally realize my ambitions! "

"It is all thanks to the wise leadership of the principal that the government has been able to achieve such success. Now that victory is ahead, the principal deserves great credit!"

Chen Xun'en naturally had a very deep understanding of the art of "flattering" and was able to accurately grasp Chiang Kai-shek's preferences.

"That's not right. The officers and soldiers have also made great efforts. The success cannot be attributed to me alone."

While saying this, Chiang Kai-shek's face almost beamed with joy.

Thinking of Bao Guowei, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Bao Bingwen is truly amazing! Ever since I came to Hangzhou, I have seen his talent. He is truly a pillar of the country. It's a pity that I cannot use him for my own benefit."

Chen Xunen said: "The principal has a keen eye for talent. Without the principal's cultivation, Bao Bingwen would not be where he is today. Bao Bingwen is naturally in the country, and his inventions and articles are all published in the jurisdiction of the national government. Isn't it also a way for us to use them?"

Chiang Kai-shek was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter and said.

"Chen Xun'en, ah Chen Xun'en, it still has to be you!"

His mouth was almost split to his ears as he continued.

"That makes sense. Even if Bao Bingwen is Monkey King, he is still just a scholar. What kind of waves can he stir up?"

Then Chiang Kai-shek looked out the window, his eyes inevitably burning with heat.

"China will eventually be unified. Under my rule, we will have strong soldiers and generals, and science and culture will flourish. China will also stand tall in the world under my leadership!"

When Chiang Kai-shek said this, I wonder if he was sincere at that moment.

Chen Xunen just said this mindlessly.

"The principal is wise!"
