Rising: Ten Thousand Years Chapter 24: : Like the bright moon, never frustrated

Various officials of the General Administration of Education, as well as professors from Imperial College of Technology, began to review the test papers nervously.

A total of more than one hundred people joined forces to grade four test papers, including the historical test paper that had been graded to full marks, and overturned it for re-grading.

The General Administration of Yipin, an official, has conducted on-site supervision and is waiting for it.

The Kyushu Empire has always been nervous, rigorous, and not afraid of trouble when dealing with academic issues.

Perhaps, the rigor of the Kyushu Empire has never been seen since the birth of civilization on Earth? It was lost 10,000 years ago, so I learned to cherish it 10,000 years later...

"The answer to this chemistry judgment question is to choose the right one. But the examinee chose the wrong one and left an extremely complicated formula to explain. What should I do?"

"Immediately conduct a field test according to the formula he left behind."

"Yes!"

Immediately, a special person brought the corresponding equipment, and started matching on the spot according to the elemental formula left by Li Chen.

From distillation, they got hydrochloric acid.

The professor from Imperial College excitedly yelled regardless of the occasion:

"The formula is established, and there is indeed hydrochloric acid. I didn't expect... it is really established?"

"Really?"

"Ah, the formula for extracting nitric acid is also established. I can solemnly announce that the third inorganic acidic substance, nitric acid, has appeared in the world!"

"Water Regia established!"

“…”

The General Administration sucked in a breath of air, a judgment question on the test paper actually made the Kyushu Empire discover the New World, and prepared three inorganic acidic substances that had never appeared in the history of 10,000 years in the New Calendar—hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and aqua regia !

"Perform the test immediately. Didn't this son brazenly say that aqua regia can melt gold? Immediately send someone to take a tael of gold for the test."

The General Administration ordered in a deep voice.

Immediately someone went to get the corresponding things and started experimenting. When the prepared aqua regia with yellow smoke was poured into the beaker containing two gold grains, something strange happened.

However, the yellow smoke became more intense, and a chemical reaction occurred in the water, and bubbles began to appear.

All the people in the room gathered around, and suddenly, someone screamed: "The gold is melting!"

"What?"

"It's...really possible!"

"No wonder he is called aqua regia, the king of water. Gold is so strong, aqua regia can melt gold?"

"What kind of scientific reason is this? Does such a terrifying liquid exist in the world?"

“…”

The General Administration breathed heavily and slumped on the chair, excitement flashed in his eyes, it was established, and all of them were established. This examinee from Hangcheng County in the southeast state was shocked!

At this time, the door of the meeting room was pushed open, and an old man wearing glasses walked in, and asked nervously, "I heard that there are wizards in Southeast State?"

No one paid him any attention. The old man looked at the test paper on his own, and was astonished when he saw it. Looking at the 'new triacids' that have been established and prepared, I can't help but take a deep breath.

Someone said: "Principal Xu, what do you think the candidate's score is?"

This person is Xu Shenxue, the deputy invigilator of Kyushu and the president of Dongzhou Fuxing University.

On the same level as him is Wang Zhongshu, the principal of Imperial College of Technology, who is also the chief deputy invigilator of Kyushu.

There is only one person above them, and that is the chief examiner of Kyushu, the General Administration of Education, the official of the General Administration, and Qian Mao, a member of the first rank!

Xu Shenxue looked at the office that was in full swing, and then peeked at the candidates' information, his eyes flickering, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

"Report to the General Administration, the new mathematical formula that appeared in this sub-test paper is correct and established. However, it cannot be verified, because we cannot understand the specific principles."

Qian Mao, the official of the General Administration, nodded when he heard the words, and fell into infinite contemplation.

Exactly, how to score?

These answers of this candidate are contrary to the textbooks of the Kyushu Empire, especially the chemical judgment questions are the most contradictory.

Is sulfuric acid the most corrosive in the world?

According to the textbook, the answer should be yes.

But he chose wrongly. But his answer turned out to be right.

If he is judged to have answered this question correctly, isn't that going to overthrow everything in the previous chemistry textbooks in Kyushu? Negate the answers of all candidates in the world?

If he was judged to have answered this question incorrectly, wouldn't that mean he was talking nonsense?

How to choose between the standard answer and the correct answer? This is no longer an academic issue, but a very complex dialectical ethical issue.

Hangcheng County.

A month has passed, and Li Zhen's expression has fallen to the bottom. He looked at Qi Lengzi who was chatting and farting with his colleagues in robes: "In previous years, the result is also a one-month period, right?"

Qi Lengzi shook his head: "I'm asking who to go to, and I haven't been to school. Hey, don't worry, if you don't pass the exam, you won't pass the exam. What's the matter? Didn't Princess Zhang say it all? Are you going to be a public high school teacher right away during the semester?"

Li Zhen shook his head with a wry smile, but said nothing.

It's really absurd to say it, I'm only sixteen. And the students in public high schools are generally fifteen or sixteen years old, those who go to school late, and some even older than themselves. I don't know what they think, but let their peers teach their peers, can they convince the crowd?

And the headmaster is really big-hearted, and even let himself teach three subjects: mathematics, chemistry, and physics.

A teacher is in charge of three different types of classes, thanks to them they can figure it out. It's the rhythm of exhausting myself.

Li Zhen jumped and looked out of Hangcheng County, with hope in his eyes. Everyone knows what he is looking forward to, the good news...

Seeing Li Zhen looking out of the city as usual, Qi Lengzi said in shock: "Don't look, the results have already come out. It's been a month, and if there is no news, it means there is no drama."

Li Zhen sighed, that's all, admit it.

When I wrote down those answers, I had already thought of the ending of the failure. It's no wonder that the world is inclined to the standard answer, because I have taken a step beyond human.

Back in his shack, Li Zhen felt that he could plan a second route for himself.

Since the college entrance examination did not work, I failed. Then... if you hear it, you will become a pillar of Kyushu from other angles.

"Besides the college entrance examination, what else can I do? Serve as a teacher? But Hangcheng County is a place where no shit... When will I make it through? What I want to teach is not only It’s this school, it’s the world!”

Li Zhen smacked his mouth, and couldn't help feeling sad, let's do business, and he has no money.

Invention, no money.

Let's do scientific research, who will give the scientific research results?

Suddenly, Li Zhen thought of an idea: "Hey, if I can't become a world-famous scholar, I can become a world-famous inventor. My level of physical chemistry is enough to shake the contemporary world." ?”

"Invent what?"

Li Zhen thought for a long time with a sad face, some far away, unrealistic. Some are close, and some are tasteless. And I'm just a teacher who hasn't taken office yet, so I'm in a hurry.

"Why don't you... get the steam engine out?"

With a murmur, Li Zhenxin became overwhelmed, yes, if he can get the steam engine out, then he will be able to lead the Kyushu Empire to take a big step forward.

"Then I need a factory workshop, I need CNC machine tools... Well, Kyushu doesn't have the concept of CNC machine tools at all. I, well, before inventing the steam engine, I'll tinker with CNC machine tools first."

Li Zhen immediately began to draw sketches on paper, designed the CNC machine tool by himself, and set up the parts by himself.

CNC machine tools. Kyushu does not have this concept, and Li Zhen also heard what Zhang Zhi said.

And because Li Zhen didn't see it with his own eyes, but only listened to the description, so now the design of CNC machine tools can only be half based on experience and half based on imagination.

"The blades of machine tools need diamonds. Diamonds are so expensive."

“…”

The next day, Li Zhen returned to his old job and went back to his old job. Continue to collect waste products in Qiantang Valley.

After rushing for the exam, only five thousand coins were left. However, Li Zhen estimated and estimated that if he built a CNC machine tool by himself, he would need to spend at least 10,000 coins to make it.

Thus, a new big plan, a new blueprint was laid out in front of him again.

Three years ago, I started to collect waste products to save money and pave the way for the future college entrance examination. I used it for three years.

This time, I made indirect remarks and used other channels to serve the motherland. Let's set a five-year blueprint.

In five years, a CNC machine tool was built.

It will take another three years to build a steam engine!

The first step is the same as three years ago - saving money.

The good thing is that three years ago, I worked part-time and studied, so I could only collect scraps in my spare time. But now, I can soak in the ocean of waste every day, and my income will increase exponentially.

If you ask Li Chen why he doesn't do other jobs, it's because you don't know the inside story.

Collecting waste, as long as you are diligent enough, not afraid of getting dirty, not afraid of hardship, the money you earn will be several times that of other coolies. Li Zhen can calculate that the waste he collects for a month is definitely higher than the salary of a teacher for a month.

And now, I have already started to eat the salary of a public high school. The teacher's salary, plus the accumulation of waste products. Within five years, it is very possible to build a CNC machine tool by saving 10,000 to 20,000 coins.

Thus, life returned to peace here. Back to three years ago.

The female boss of the scrap yard can laugh at Li Zhen again:

"I told you a long time ago, you definitely won't pass the exam. You still don't believe me, you still have to sell scraps at my old lady's place."

Li Zhen also thought about it, and said freely, "Haha, I knew I would listen to you before the First World War and before liberation."

"Hmph, if you don't listen to my old lady, you will be at a disadvantage. Now the money is gone, my life is almost gone, and my name is gone..."

"But I'm not sorry, at least I took the college entrance examination."

"Does it make sense?"

"Yes. Very profound."

"What's the point?"

"You don't understand."

"Tell me. I might understand."

Li Zhen put down his back basket and sat in front of the scrap yard, his eyes suddenly darkened: "If you say, what is the value of a person living in this world, do you understand? It's not about getting up early and staying late, and it's not about staying alive~IndoMTL. com~Actually... it is to make my life more meaningful. It is a difficult dialectical question."

"Then tell me about it." The female boss sat on the stone pier opposite him, resting her chin on her hands.

Li Zhen squinted his eyes and murmured: "You see, there is nothing in the sky at first. But at night, there will be stars one by one. If each of us represents a star, then some people are far away, some People are dark, and some people don’t seem to exist. High officials want bright spots, and the emperor of the Kyushu Empire is the brightest one. Outstanding scientists are comets, and pioneers in the academic field are meteors.”

"Then what are you?"

"I want to be... Haoyue."

"Hahahaha. I won't quarrel with you. The price of brass has risen in the past two days. Go find some wires and see if you can strip a few pounds of brass. Don't tell anyone, it's a business secret."

Li Zhen carried the shoulder strap with a smile on his back: "Then thank you for telling me this business secret."

The female boss watched him go away, inexplicably, she suddenly felt that Li Chen's somewhat hunched back was shining with dazzling brilliance.

"It's a pity, maybe you just missed the door, maybe you just missed the exam by one point? If you really pass the exam, I really believe that you can be Haoyue."

“…”

When the world is dark, what do we have to prove that we will shine in the darkness, and why do we let others see ourselves?

After the endless cycle of birth, old age, sickness and death, how can we prove that we have lived in this world?

The shooting star will tear through the night, and it will be remembered by the world at that moment.

The bright moon will last forever and the sky, no matter how many years have passed, it will still be praised...

Now, Haoyue is digging her second dream in the stench of Qiantang Valley in Hangcheng County.

Never fail!
