The trend of enrolling in Chengcheng has come to an end for the time being, and Tokyo Imperial University arranged a lecture for Li Yu.
This time it was indeed much more normal than last time. Li Yu finished speaking without anyone interrupting him. Of course, it may also be because Principal Yamakawa Kenjiro and others were all present.
There were many Chinese people in the audience, so Zhang Taiyan naturally came too. In addition, many students from Hongwen College also came to support him. After all, Li Yu had left a deep impression on them at Hongwen College.
After the speech, Ogawa Masataka also invited Li Yu to visit Northeastern University. In fact, to be precise, the current Tohoku University in Japan should be called Sendai Medical College, which is the school where Lu Xun later attended.
However, this school is currently only a technical secondary school, so in fact Lu Xun’s education is from a technical secondary school... But this school has great ambitions. It offers many subjects, including mathematics, physics and chemistry-related subjects early on, so that Promoted to university.
Of course, it came true not long after in 1907. It is said that since Brother Xun became famous, there is now a sculpture of Lu Xun in Northeastern University.
Ogawa Masataka, like Nagaoka Hantaro, also returned from studying in the UK, and of course he knew the famous name Li Yu left in the Royal Academy of Sciences.
The direction of his research is chemistry, to be precise, the direction of elements. Masataka Ogawa told Li Yu: "I once saw a new periodic table of elements in a journal, which was published by the famous Russian chemist Mr. Mendeleev, and Mr. Li Yu was also mentioned in the signature. I really didn't expect it. Sir, he also has such high achievements in chemistry." Li Yu said with a smile: "I really don't have in-depth research on chemistry, let alone achievements." Ogawa Masataka said: "The properties of elements are the most cutting-edge theory in chemistry today. If you don’t go deep into it, sir, then I would be so embarrassed.”
"The main credit was done by Professor Mendeleev, I just made a little addition." Li Yu said frankly.
“The icing on the cake is equally appreciated,” said Masataka Ogawa.
"I really don't know if your husband is involved in other fields? For example, medicine? Because when I checked your information during this period, I found that you have even written articles about disinfection." I have to say that if the Japanese want to It's really easy to get information about China, and the spy agencies all over the country have done a lot.
Even many later wartime maps were drawn by the Japanese, and Japan's ambitions can also be seen from the side.
In turn, it is much more difficult for China to obtain information from Japan. Li Yu spread his hands and said, "I just know some common sense about medicine." During the conversation, Li Yu saw a very familiar figure and hurriedly said to Ogawa Masataka next to him: "Is that Mr. Fujino?" Ogawa Masataka Surprised: "How do you know the teacher in our school?" Mr. Fujino's appearance is exactly the same as in the textbook. Of course Li Yu knows him. Mr. Lu Xun has always hung his portrait in the house.
All students in China have read Lu Xun's articles, including of course the article "Mr. Fujino" in "Morning Blossoms Plucked at Dusk".
And his mustache is so recognizable. Masataka Ogawa said: "Mr. Fujino is an excellent lecturer in anatomy. Could it be that he is also interested in anatomy? Our school happens to have a cadaver anatomy course and you can visit it." Li Yu quickly shook his head: "That's not necessary!" It is said that Li Yu has really seen anatomy. Some of his high school classmates are studying medicine. When Li Yu came to play with him, he saw a real partial anatomy.
At that time, his classmates found him a white coat, a hat and a mask. The teacher couldn't recognize him anyway, so he sneaked in quietly.
There were four long metal coffins placed in the room. After the teacher gave a general explanation, the male students rolled up the four corpses. Of course, they were all donated.
Since it was a partial dissection, that is, a part was selected. Li Yu was very impressed. They were dissecting the thigh that day.
But Li Yu stayed at least one meter away from the corpse the whole time and didn't dare to get close at all - it was too scary!
On the other hand, the female students in the class were holding their textbooks very close to each other and saying from time to time: "Oh, look, this is an artery!"
“I found the lateralis muscle.”
"I also found the rectus muscle."... Li Yu looked on, almost dumbfounded. Then his classmate pulled him closer and said to him: "Don't you know what a nerve looks like? Let me point it out to you. Well, do you see it? This is the sciatic nerve. It's quite thick, isn't it? ?" Li Yu almost vomited out when he saw a yellow nerve he picked up with tweezers. It was so terrifying!
From that day on, Li Yu felt like vomiting when he saw meat for three days in a row... The key point was that that classmate was very angry that night.
She "kindly" ordered a table of meat dishes for him, but Li Yu didn't want to eat them anyway. And since then, I haven’t felt that scary watching horror movies for a long time!
It has to be said that although Li Yu is very interested in science and engineering, he really doesn't dare to touch medicine, and he studies biology all the time.
Medicine is really a test of psychological quality! I'm so scared when I see a corpse. I can't imagine how long it takes for a surgeon to train before he can actually perform an operation.
After returning to Tokyo, Liang Qichao and one person found Li Yu again. Liang Qichao introduced: "This is Mr. Mai Menghua, named Rubo, who is Master Kang's son-in-law." Li Yu said: "Nice to meet you." Mai Menghua is also an important role in Kangmen, almost second only to him. Liang Qichao's right-hand man is also in Tokyo now.
Mai Menghua said: "I met you this time to bring Master Kang's greetings, as well as a letter he wrote earlier, which was floating across the sea and just arrived." Li Yu took the letter written by Kang Youwei , opened it with an uneasy mood, I really didn’t know what this Kang Shengren would say.
The letter wrote: "I recently heard that my friend Li Yu is proficient in all subjects of Western learning and has become the emperor's teacher. It is really not easy! To be able to teach Western learning to the long live of the current dynasty is indeed a meritorious service for all generations. I have written Rubo and Zhuoru with Sir, please communicate more. If you can present the latest research results of our royalist party to Banzai during the teaching break, it will further influence Banzai's future imperial career...
"Indeed, if my little friend can join us, it will also be conducive to the cause of assisting the left emperor and protecting the emperor and amending the constitution. I heard from the newspaper that my little friend has a strong foundation in Western learning. If you join us, you will be able to rank beside Zhuoru!
"Extreme hope. Tianyou transforms people into Canada thousands of miles away." Kang Youwei sometimes claimed to be
"Tianyou transforms into a human being" feels quite strange. However, Li Yu felt even more strange after reading this letter. He really didn't expect that Kang Youwei would want Li Yu to bring in some personal belongings of their royalist faction while teaching Guangxu. It was really a good plan.
They even wanted Li Yu to join their royalist faction. What a great idea! Li Yu said: "Thank you Master Kang for your kindness, but the content of the lessons I give to the emperor must be reviewed by the Queen Mother. I'm afraid your ideas won't be brought in." Of course they knew Cixi's attitude towards Kang You.
Mai Menghua said regretfully: "The Queen Mother is really a disaster for the country. What should we do if all kinds of progressive ideas cannot be passed on!" Li Yu scratched his head and said: "Actually, I think there are still many Western scholars in Yingtaichung, and the emperor does too. I'm watching." What Li Yu means is that you don't have to worry about it, the decision-making power is not in Guangxu's hands at all.
Moreover, considering Kang Youwei's Western learning skills, listening to what he said is really not as good as reading the original work yourself. Anyway, Liang Qichao has long understood this.
Mai Menghua said: "Maybe sir, you can pass it on by insinuating it." Li Yu felt that they just wanted to kill him. They had no previous contact with each other, and they asked Li Yu to do such a dangerous thing. How could he do it, so he declined: " During the lecture, Eunuch Cui, the eunuch under the Queen Mother, was always listening outside the door." Liang Qichao had already heard what Li Yu meant and said, "It is indeed too difficult, so don't embarrass me sir." Mai Menghua thought. I thought so, so he added: "Then sir, do you have any ideas about joining our royalist faction?" Li Yu shook his head and said firmly: "I am who I am and will not join any party." Mai Menghua said in surprise: "Does sir have the strength to change the situation? Qiankun? The only person who has the most hope of changing the current situation is Master Kang. It is wise to follow Master Kang." Li Yu, a time traveler a hundred years later, how could he be allowed to guide the development of the situation.
And I really don’t know where Kang Youwei can have such confidence. Li Yu smiled and said, "Let's talk about when Master Kang can return to China." Seeing that he couldn't persuade Li Yu, Mai Menghua had no choice but to say, "I have written down your husband's contact information. I will keep in touch with him at any time if there are any developments in the future." Li Yu has a black streak on his head, he really won't stop until he kills someone!
Li Yu didn't want to get involved in these political events at all, he just wanted to be a bystander. Besides, the day will be gone sooner or later, and the royalists will have nothing to do but draw water from a bamboo basket.
Liang Qichao also felt that Mai Menghua's request was a bit excessive, so he smoothed things over and said, "Sir, don't worry, we will not take the initiative to contact you unless the matter is urgent." Li Yu nodded, but Liang Qichao was sensible and said gratefully: "Thank you for your understanding. "After bidding farewell to Mai Menghua and Liang Qichao, Li Yu stayed in Japan for another day or two. He learned that Zhang Jian, Gong Wang, and Zai Zhen would continue to inspect Japan for a while, and Li Yu really didn't have much time to waste.
Soon, there will be a mid-term exam in the Capital University. Li Yu has already missed countless classes. According to his agreement with Ding Hailiang, he must not miss the exam.
Fan Xiren, Feng Zuxun and other students are also preparing to return to China. Anyway, they will have the opportunity to study abroad in the future, and now a simple inspection mission is of little significance to them.
Ferries between China and Japan are relatively frequent and are not as time-consuming as going to Europe. Li Yu first took a train to Yokohama to meet Fan Xiren and others, and then took a ship to go to sea.
The ship docked at Busan Port, the largest port on the Korean Peninsula, for half a day before sailing to Tianjin again. After the Sino-Japanese War, Korea was also annexed by Japan, and the Port of Busan was already controlled by the Japanese.
And their ambitions are getting bigger and bigger. After taking another train at Tanggu Port in Tianjin and arriving in the capital, Li Yu said goodbye to Fan Xiren and others and returned home first.
Li Yu originally thought about sending a telegram home, but suddenly remembered that none of Wang Bo, Zhao Qian, and Fengling knew how to send and receive telegrams, so he had to give up.
As soon as they arrived home, Uncle Wang and the others warmly welcomed Li Yu in. Their biggest luggage was a few typewriters they brought back.
Uncle Wang looked at these new gadgets and said, "Sir, you always bring some foreign gadgets when you come back." Li Yu smiled and said, "They are all useful things. You should also learn them." Zhao Qian touched the typewriter and said, "The above I can't even understand the messy symbols, and I don't know how to use them." Thinking about it, Zhao Qian and Uncle Wang are not very well educated, so it seems they have to rely on Fengling. After all, she has received a lot of education in the brothel.
Fengling also volunteered and said: "Sir, please teach me. They are two tall and thick-skinned people who don't know a few Chinese characters. Besides, I should do something for the house." It is true that she can only rely on her, Li Yu said "It's best if you say so. I'll give you a salary increase in the future!" Fengling became more motivated after hearing this and asked, "Should you first think about these foreign machines you just bought?" Li Yu said: "Let's put these aside for now. The most important thing now is to be able to use the telegraph machine. It happens that the telegraph machine comes with a Morse code table. You should practice hard during this period. Don't worry, it's not difficult! It's just a skilled job. Use the old That is to say, nothing but familiarity!" Fengling said confidently: "I'll take care of it! I've been interested in it for a long time." Li Yu told Fengling the basic operating procedures of the telegraph machine. spoke, and then gave her the code table.
Fengling looked at the code table. After listening to the explanation, she felt that it was indeed not that difficult. It wouldn't take long to get started, but it would take some time to practice it proficiently.
"By the way, I almost forgot something," Fengling said,
"Two days ago, a lady came to see your husband and said that she wanted to give you a strange manuscript called "Star Wars"." Li Yu did not expect that Lu Bicheng was quite fast, so he nodded and said, "I understand." He said for the third time I came to find Lu Bicheng the next day.
When Lu Bicheng saw Li Yu, he asked directly: "You are back, is Japan fun?"
"It's nothing more than that. You'll know if you have a chance to see it in the future," Li Yu said.
"I heard that you have already written the manuscript?" Lu Bicheng took out a thick stack of manuscript paper: "It was really tiring. I revised it three or four times before it was completed. The story you wrote was so bizarre that I read it several times. Only then did I understand it, but I didn't dare to delete it at will, so I could only polish the words and sentences." Li Yu saw the neat and elegant small regular script on the manuscript paper. It was really not easy to write so many words, and said: "Thank you, Miss Lu. ! By the way, there is one more thing to tell you. When I was in Japan, Mr. Taiyan gave me a word." Lu Bicheng said: "You didn't tell me, but I was still puzzled. You didn't even have a word. I still... I thought you were underage! Tell me quickly, what is your name?" Li Yu said: "Short of talent." Lu Bicheng opened his eyes wide: "The name and name you chose are really interesting." Li Yu asked: "What's so interesting about it?" Isn't it normal?" Lu Bicheng pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Your name originally sounded like 'carp', but now the word also sounds like 'vegetable'. Carp and vegetables are really a perfect match."
"Ah this..." If Lu Bicheng hadn't said it, Li Yu wouldn't have realized that there was even a homophone! Lu Bicheng quickly said seriously: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at you." Li Yu smiled: "I know." After returning home, Li Yu carefully read the manuscript of "Star Wars".
The storyline itself is already very full, and now that my writing skills have improved, it is even better. It now looks like a mature science fiction work.
But the matter is not over yet. In addition to contacting the publisher, Li Yu also needs to translate it into foreign languages and publish it through multiple channels.
As for the translator, there happens to be Yu Deling, and she is proficient in many languages, which is very convenient.
If a multi-language translation is written by one person, it will indeed be more reproducible. If it is translated into English and then other languages are translated from English, it is inevitable that there will be
"Distortion" occurs. Moreover, Yu Deling happened to have read a lot of Verne's works and was no stranger to science fiction themes, so it was indeed a good fit.
When Li Yu was very proud of his idea, Feng Ling was practicing the telegraph very quickly over there. Unexpectedly, the women around him all played a big role.
As soon as she thought of this, Fengling suddenly shouted: "Sir, I received the first telegram today!" Fengling came over excitedly holding a telegram: "I don't understand foreign languages, but I checked against the code table. I've tried it many times and I'm sure there will be no mistakes." The telegram was sent in English. Li Yu took the telegram and said happily: "You have really done a great job!" Fengling was also very happy to be praised.
"It's a pity that I'm still too slow. It doesn't matter if I don't understand foreign languages. I plan to learn foreign languages in the future, so I can't hold my husband back!" Li Yu gave a thumbs up: "I support you!" Then his eyes drifted to the telegram, and his eyes almost rolled. Everyone stared, and Li Yu shouted out loud: "Love, love, love, Einstein?!"
