Li Yu had no choice but to seize the time to write the outline of the story of the first "Star Wars" "A New Hope". Li Yu is very clear about the plot of the story. The key is to adapt it to be more in line with the current background. Fortunately, the story unfolds in an imaginary environment, so it is not too troublesome to modify it.
Protagonist's name
"Skywalker" happens to be quite easy for Chinese people to think of Sun Walker, which adds a little more appeal... Li Yu still has confidence in the story of Star Wars. This kind of counterattack becomes a generation of Jedi Knights, and then slowly reveals the story. Life experience, a subject that leads to a huge world view, is absolutely incredible now.
Although in the late Qing Dynasty, vernacular was still difficult to express in an elegant manner, ordinary people definitely liked it. It can also subtly make the public dream of the vast universe, and maybe it can really stimulate some interest in exploration.
And isn’t a large part of human exploration of science driven by curiosity about the universe? Li Yu gave the manuscript to Lu Bicheng. Lu Bicheng was very surprised after reading it: "Vernacular?" Li Yu said with a smile: "It's far from good! At present, it only has a skeleton and lacks the details of flesh and blood, so I have to trouble the talented woman Lu to help polish it. 2." Lu Bicheng flipped through the pages and read for a while. He was immediately attracted by the story and asked, "What kind of subject is this? It can be written like this!"
"The West calls it science fiction, which is science fiction." Li Yu said. Lu Bicheng asked again: "No wonder I have never seen it. The story is indeed interesting, but are the stars in the sky really like this?" There is no concept of aliens now, let alone other planets that can inhabit humans.
Li Yu said: "It may be a bit complicated to say. The stars in the sky are all stars, gas stars, but there must be planets orbiting the stars. Maybe there are humans like us." Lu Bicheng couldn't believe it: "Then, In addition to foreigners, are there more distant foreigners on other planets?”
"Ah..." Li Yu scratched his head and had no choice but to explain,
"Fantasy, just treat it as such! Think about it, what's wrong? There are still people who want to be the Jade Emperor." Lu Bicheng suddenly realized: "I understand, it turned out to be imaginary. Just like "Journey to the West" also mentioned that there are stars on the moon. The Fairy Chang'e and the Jade Rabbit live in Guanghan Palace."
"You can think of it this way," Li Yu said,
"'Journey to the West' is an extension of imagination in the form of a fantasy story. Science can naturally extend imagination in a scientific way to become science fiction." After saying this, Lu Bicheng understood better: "It does sound reasonable. But..." Li Yuwen : "But what?" Lu Bicheng covered her mouth and said, "But your literary talent is... too bad. No wonder you came in last in the imperial examination for the Imperial College of Self-cultivation in the Capital." Uh, that hurts my heart!
Li Yu ranked first in the first enrollment of the Capital University, but his feat of failing the chapter on self-cultivation and righteousness was indeed unprecedented: from now on, no one has ever failed in this subject, and it counts. became a period
"Good story"... Li Yu said awkwardly: "That's why I asked the talented girl Lu to help polish it, otherwise it would be embarrassing to show it out like this. Don't worry, talented girl Lu, your name will definitely be among the signatures published in the future. "
"You still want to sign my name?" Lu Bicheng suddenly became serious,
"Then I have to take it seriously." Li Yu said happily: "That's it! As long as you can put in some effort, there will be no problem!" The list of people who were arranged by the Capital University to go to Japan to participate in the Quanye Expo was quickly made. Several achievers with better results: Fan Xiren and Ouyang Mouyuan from the Official School, Feng Zuxun, He Yujie and Lunming from the Normal School.
Lunming was also a great bibliophile in modern times. He later served as a professor at Beijing Normal University, Furen University, Yenching University and other universities.
In fact, Lunming ranked first in the Normal College of the first Beijing Normal University Admissions Examination. Unfortunately, he was ruined by Li Yu and ranked second.
Today, Li Yu and a few of them were having fun again, playing Three Kingdoms. Fan Xiren loves to play the most, and he comes from a big family and is very particular about it. After being addicted to board games, he actually found someone to design more useful playing cards, and even hired a comic book master to draw Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao, Sun Quan and others on the playing cards. image of.
In this way, it is more like the Three Kingdoms Killing in later generations. After a few people sat down, Fan Xiren said while shuffling the cards: "I didn't expect to go to Japan so soon. I had always longed to go abroad, but Professor Hattori said it would be at the end of the year at the earliest, and suddenly the notice was given, and I didn't feel it. Be prepared." Ouyang Mouyuan said casually: "What can I prepare for? It's not like I'm going to study abroad. I'll be back soon."
"I know, it should be treated as a proof in advance," Fan Xiren said,
"I want to see what is so powerful about Japan, and why a small country like Fuso can defeat us." Feng Zuxun was relatively calm: "There are reasons to win, and there are things we need to learn from. I once Looking at the map, it seems that the area of Japan is larger than the mainland of England."
"Oh?" Fan Xiren said in surprise,
"Is that really so? Brother Li Yu, you know the most about the West, for you." Li Yu nodded: "Brother Feng is right, it is true. The area of the UK is indeed not as big as Japan." Lun Ming said: "It's unbelievable, so the English country is at best a small country in Xirong?" Li Yu said with a smile: "You can't say that, the area is only one factor in the strength of the country." Fan Xiren said: "I heard about this Quanye Expo All the best industrial products from Japan are on display, and even Western countries and other countries will participate. We should learn some of them and make them ourselves!" Li Yu shook his head: "It's not that simple. If you can figure it out just by looking at it, then we can Warships, artillery, and factory machinery have long been everywhere." Fan Xiren deeply agreed: "I have read the history of Japan. They were not a powerful country before, and they learned it bit by bit from foreigners. If the Japanese can do it, so can we. "Now that everyone has studied at the Capital University, they have slowly realized how profound science is and how sophisticated technology is. But fortunately, the more you do this, the more your fighting spirit is stimulated, and you have not become like some people who only know how to kneel and lick the West. .
While they were talking, several people had already drawn their cards. Fan Xiren was the lord Sun Quan, and Li Yu was the rebel thief. When they showed the general card, it was Huang Yueying, and the location happened to be at Sun Quan's house.
Fan Xiren said: "Well, you Huang Yueying, you look like a traitor at first sight! Eat me first and I won't miss Shu!" Li Yu said with a smile: "Don't, lord, just in case I am a loyal minister." Fan Xiren glanced at Ouyang Mouyuan, he In his hand is Lu Xun,
"He is the loyal minister! Don't worry about anything else, hurry up and kill Huang Yueying!" Li Yuzheng was worried that he didn't have an invulnerable hand. Unexpectedly, when it was his turn, Ouyang Mouyuan silently used an invulnerable card to solve Li Yu's Lebu Sishu. .
Now, Li Yu was very lucky. He played cards one after another, and suddenly there was a pile of cards in his hand, and then
"Crossing the river and burning the bridge",
"Picking the sheep" destroyed all Sun Quan's cards, and then in two rounds
"Thousands of arrows are fired together",
"Invasion of the Southern Barbarians" caused Fan Xiren to cry out in pain. Although there was He Yujie's Hua Tuo on the field, he knew it was hopeless when he saw Li Yu holding Zhuge Liannu.
Sure enough, the lord was killed suddenly by Huang Yueying. The next four people didn't even get a chance to play their cards. The four of them suddenly felt that they had no game experience: "No, no, no, let's start again, it's too fast!" After a few games, everyone was playing happily, and someone suddenly came to Li Yu: "Mr. Li Yu, please come from the General Office of the Translation Institute Yan." You go there."
"General Manager Yan Fu?" Li Yu had no choice but to put down his cards and leave without finishing, leaving the five of them to continue fighting.
As soon as he entered Yan Fu's office, an old man about fifty years old came over and said: "Are you Li Yu? A sight is better than a hearing. It is indeed like a rumor. You are a young hero. Not bad!" Yan Fu immediately introduced Li Yu: "This is the number one scholar of the dynasty, Mr. Zhang Jizhi, the general manager of Dasheng Cotton Factory." The character Li Yu mentioned by Yan Fu was not familiar to him, but with the addition of the number one scholar of the dynasty, the general office of Dasheng Cotton Factory, he immediately knew that he was the number one industrial figure in the late Qing Dynasty. Zhang Jian is at home.
Li Yu hurriedly said: "Mr. Jiuyang's name." Zhang Jian laughed and said: "I am the name of Mr. Jiuyang. Although I have been in Tongzhou for a long time, I am not as well-informed as the capital, Tianjin, and Shanghai, but I have been there several times. No, it should be I saw repeated reports about you in the newspapers dozens of times." Zhang Jian has now resigned from office and started business. However, under the pattern of the late Qing Dynasty, running an industry was inseparable from the court's connections, so Zhang Jian has been in contact with the court and local governments since then. The feudal officials kept in touch.
Yan Fu said from the side: "Isn't that right? Ji Zhi just came to the university hall yesterday and immediately asked me for information about you."
"That's for sure!" Zhang Jian said,
"It's not easy to find scientific and technological talents in the land of China now. I have also started a yarn factory for a few years, and I understand how far we are from Western countries. All the machinery in the factory is purchased from England, and the simple spinning We can’t even figure out the principles of machines, so how about warships and artillery?” Zhang Jian is now regarded as one of the few in the late Qing Dynasty.
"The world is awake". At the beginning, his Dasheng Cotton Mill almost failed to get off the ground. The financing that several officials had promised suddenly disappeared. Fortunately, Zhang Jian followed Shen Jingfu's suggestion and went into full-scale production without waiting for funds.
Then use the income from selling cotton yarn to buy cotton to maintain operations. Fortunately, in the following months, the cotton yarn market was promising, and the cotton mills' funds continued to expand. Not only were the mills able to produce normally, but they also had a slight balance at the end of the year.
Only then did Dasheng Cotton Mill survive. This approach is not surprising in later generations. The most typical ones are the people who used to speculate in real estate off-plan... Li Yu admitted: "The gap is indeed huge, but many people still fail to face the gap." Zhang Jian sighed. He sighed: "Not only have they not faced up to the gap, many people have even chosen to give up, thinking that they are inferior to foreigners." Yan Fu also felt deeply about this: "Many people are really afraid."
"That's why I said it's not easy to have you," Zhang Jian said,
"After all, it makes us understand that Chinese people can still learn the most difficult Western learning, which is really exciting! To be honest, I just founded a Tongzhou Normal School last year. I often warn students to actively study Western learning and use Li Taking Mr. Yu as an example, we strive to catch up." In later generations, Tongzhou Normal School, together with the Normal School of Capital University and the Normal School of Nanyang Public School, were recognized as the three origins of Chinese normal education.
It is also the predecessor of later schools such as Yangzhou University and Nantong University. Li Yu was well aware of the difficulty of running a Western school at this time: "Mr. General Office worked tirelessly. It would be more beneficial if more engineering subjects could be offered." Zhang Jian said helplessly: "I also understand this truth, but it is extremely difficult to establish science-related disciplines nowadays. , the funds required are much higher than those of classics, history, and foreign languages, and I don’t know much about various equipment; the most important thing is that I can’t find a few people who understand Western learning as teachers." Li Yu also sighed: "Just Now you can take your time and start simple.”
"Yes," Zhang Jian continued,
"I have now established the idea, that is, 'Father educates, mother industry'. You cannot let go of either one, otherwise you will be a cripple walking on one leg." Li Yu gave a thumbs up: "Grab it with both hands, and both hands must be strong!" Zhang Jian also imitated him and gave a thumbs up: "The young gentleman's words are extraordinary and his summary is accurate." Li Yu said with a smile: "I also heard what others said. But speaking of it, Zhang Zhitai and others are now trying their best to develop the mining and steel industries. Mr. General Office is focusing on the cotton spinning industry, one light and the other heavy, so he has grasped both hands on the industrial road." Zhang Jian said: "I once studied the development process of Western countries, and it seems that they started from the textile industry; and the steel industry Heavy industries such as iron and coal are important weapons of the country. Neither can be relaxed, so that we can exercise full economic power. I figured out this cotton-iron doctrine by myself, what do you think, Mr. Li Yu?" Li Yu did not expect that Zhang Jian would ask him for help. "It's very appropriate! We are now poor and weak, so we can only concentrate our efforts on making breakthroughs in the most critical areas. The cotton textile industry can connect industry and agriculture, which is very suitable for our situation."
"Heroes see the same thing," Zhang Jian said cheerfully,
"It's rare to meet someone who can understand a conversation with just a few words. The young gentleman is indeed well-deserved." Li Yu said modestly: "Mr., you are highly praised." Li Yu still admired Zhang Jian.
He was the number one scholar, and if he wanted to be an official, he could definitely become an important minister of the court, but he was willing to leave officialdom and start his own business. In the current situation of the late Qing Dynasty, this was such a great courage.
What's more, apart from the most well-known
In addition to the title of "the first industrialist in modern times", Zhang Jian also participated in the establishment of many universities. He participated in the founding of Fudan University, Tongji University, Southeast University, Hohai University, etc., which will become famous in later generations!
At this time, in addition to the Dasheng Cotton Mill, Zhang Jian's subordinates also reclaimed coastal wastelands and built the raw cotton base of the cotton mill - the Tonghai Reclamation and Animal Husbandry Company with more than 100,000 acres of cultivated land; there are also flour mills, oil mills, and smelting mills. Factory and so on.
It turned the Tangjiazha area in Nantong into an industrial zone. Zhang Jian asked again: "Are you also going to Japan to participate in the Quanye Expo?" Li Yu nodded: "Not only me, but also five people from the Capital University will be selected to go together."
"Very good, everyone should go out and study more." Zhang Jian said. It is quite relevant for Zhang Jian to participate in this expo. After all, the Quanye Expo is mainly an exhibition related to industry and agriculture.
Li Yu thought of this and asked: "Our exhibits have also set off?" Zhang Jian said: "We have almost arrived in Osaka. Although there are many exhibits selected from Sichuan, Jiangsu, Hubei and other places, they are mostly porcelain, fabrics, Tea, etc. Everyone knows that there are no industrial products, but they also want to find sales through the expo.”
