Chapter 13
On this day, Yi Hanxing "asked questions" to Sun Cheng after extracurricular activities as usual.
"Did the organization say when they can take me away?" Sun Cheng couldn't help but ask, "I heard that the Nanjing government is planning to hire me for the research institute. If I don't leave now, I'm afraid I'll be in even more trouble later."
"Don't be impatient. I have a plan recently and I will send you away soon." Yi Hanxing said.
Yi Hanxing was actually more anxious than Sun Cheng. Sun Cheng didn't know, but Yi Hanxing did know that it wouldn't be long, at least a few months, at most a year, before a war would definitely break out in Shanghai. If they really couldn't get out by then, would they have to send an expert like Sun Cheng to the front line of the battlefield?
Although defending the country is everyone's responsibility, Sun Cheng's professional knowledge can play a greater role in the rear. Sun Cheng on the battlefield is just a soldier, but Sun Cheng in the rear can be equivalent to at least a regiment.
Even if Sun Cheng did not go to the front line and stayed in the concession at that time, it would not be safe. After the Japanese controlled the non-concession areas of Shanghai, it would be even more difficult for experts like Sun Cheng to leave. Later, when Japan also controlled the French Concession, if Sun Cheng was caught by the Japanese, his life would be in danger if he did not serve the Japanese, and serving the Japanese would be a betrayal of the motherland.
In order to prevent Sun Cheng from falling into such a dilemma, Yi Hanxing was anxious to send Sun Cheng away, and even urged and questioned Yu Fu several times.
Yu Fu was also anxious, but many people were watching Sun Cheng now. If Yu Fu sacrificed the transportation channels of medicinal materials to send to Sun Cheng, he would be caught by those who were watching Sun Cheng, and he would end up losing more than he gained.
In addition, Yu Fu was also worried about something, which was that the arsenal in the East China base was having production problems. People in the base had been urging Yu Fu and others to send experts to help them solve the problem. Yu Fu thought, isn't there any other way?
After Yi Hanxing urged him again in the evening, Yu Fu simply explained the current problem and told Yi Hanxing that it was really useless to urge him now.
After listening to what Yu Fu said, Yi Hanxing immediately thought of a solution: "Can you describe in detail what the problem is at the arsenal? I'll take it to Comrade Tai'a to ask. Once Comrade Tai'a figures it out, I'll bring the answer back and you can send it back to the base to try it out."
"Is it reliable to rely on our description to find problems without seeing the real thing?" Yu Fu couldn't help but say.
"Why would this be reliable or not?" Yi Hanxing advised, "You've already said that the Arsenal is at a loss right now, so why not let Comrade Tai'a take a look? Even if we don't know the exact problem, it would be good to suggest a few directions to try."
Yu Fu heard this and immediately thought it made sense: "Then I'll immediately have someone bring a description of the situation over."
A few days later, Yu Fu received the question and forwarded it to Yi Hanxing, who then began to think about how to get the question to Sun Cheng.
During daily club activities, Yi Hanxing and Sun Cheng communicated verbally, using drawings that everyone could see. The same was true when other students asked questions. If Yi Hanxing took out a hidden drawing, students with above-average IQs would be the first to notice something was wrong.
So without hesitating for too long, Yi Hanxing decided to memorize all the information sent by the arsenal. When the time comes, he can draw a diagram for Sun Cheng and pretend to draw a diagram to discuss design issues. When Sun Cheng says that he has something to do later, he will take the diagram back and take a good look at it first, and no students will try to get Sun Cheng to look at the diagram.
This also prevents Zhou Yuetong or Zhou Yizi from being curious about the drawings he prepared.
As for the possibility that Sun Cheng might not remember what he had memorized, Yi Hanxing didn't think it was a problem. The content was not too much, and firstly, this was Sun Cheng's major, so he should be able to remember a lot of the content he had memorized after listening to it once. Secondly, if there were some things he hadn't memorized, Yi Hanxing could recite them again when Sun Cheng came to guide the club activities in a few days.
Thinking this, Yi Hanxing couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw other people besides Sun Cheng at the club activity.
"Fengzhi, you really do find joy in teaching." The person who came with Sun Cheng teased him, "We have to go to school twice a week, but you don't seem to have the same enthusiasm as when you attend banquets."
Sun Cheng, whose courtesy name was Fengzhi, remained calm in the face of the visitor's teasing, saying, "At your banquets, you either discuss political issues or chase after socialites and celebrities. On the contrary, these young students in school clubs often have some creative ideas, which are much more interesting than banquets."
"Fengzhi, Fengzhi." The visitor laughed and sighed, "You really don't understand romance!"
"Xunjian, ah Xunjian, you are truly romantic and passionate." Sun Cheng imitated the visitor's words and sighed, "Aren't you afraid that those young ladies will become jealous and overturn the grape trellis at home?"
Yang Qin, whose courtesy name was Xunjian, was not annoyed. Instead, he smiled slightly. “So, am I not here to cultivate my character and accompany you to see your students’ fantastic ideas?”
"Don't run away when you can't stand it, or just focus on the female students in our club." Sun Cheng smiled and agreed.
The two of them seemed to be chatting and laughing, but Sun Cheng was a little worried in his heart: if Yang Qin came along, he was afraid that he would not be able to complete the information exchange with Yi Hanxing. However, Yang Qin's brother happened to be in the intelligence department of the Nanjing government. If he refused his accompaniment, he would seem guilty.
Yi Hanxing didn't know what was bothering Sun Cheng, but just seeing him smiling and asking the visitor to evaluate his students' work, he knew that this person was definitely not someone Sun Cheng could refuse, so Yi Hanxing immediately gave up the idea of asking Sun Cheng questions about the arsenal.
Yi Hanxing always seeks out Sun Cheng for one-on-one advice, so even if he doesn't ask about the arsenal,
In order not to confuse his classmates, Yi Hanxing still wanted to find a question to ask Sun Cheng.
Unable to figure out what to ask for a moment, Yi Hanxing directly raised a question that had been on his mind for a long time: "Teacher Sun, Teacher Yang, I heard that scientists abroad have discovered neutrons and that all atoms except protium have neutrons. What exactly is a neutron? Teachers, do you know?
“Oh my god.
Yang Qin couldn't help but sigh, "Fengzhi, I thought you were here to answer naive questions from students, like friction and buoyancy, but I didn't know your discussions were so profound! I've never heard of neutrons or pie (hydrogen). Today's students are truly amazing."
"It's mainly because the children like it." Sun Cheng explained: "The neutron is a substance discovered by British scientists a few years ago. It is one of the components of the atomic nucleus. It can be confirmed by the Alpha particle bombardment experiment that it is indeed the most cutting-edge knowledge in current physics research.
Having said that, Sun Cheng turned to Yi Hanxing and said, "It's certainly good for you to pay attention to cutting-edge science, but the content is not something you can grasp right now. Even I only know about it but don't understand it, so I'm afraid I can't give you too many answers.
"I just heard that some scientists are doing experiments on neutron bombardment, so I wanted to ask you what it is. Yi Hanxing smiled slightly, but in his heart he was thinking, this is not conspicuous and is not subject to everyone's experiment, but in the future it will be the most important factor in determining the military strength of a great power - the Mu Hai weapon.
"I always thought girls were interested in poetry and songs, but I didn't expect there were some who were interested in physics. The questions they asked were so many that even you, Fengzhi, didn't understand them." Yang Qin said with a smile.
"You are being gender biased. Why can't girls like physics?" Yi Hanxing retorted like an unconvinced little girl.
"Yes, yes! Mr. Yang, this is sex discrimination, we won't agree!" Three female members who had become familiar with Yang Qin echoed this after an activity class.
"Okay, okay! It's my fault. I wonder if I can have a chance to treat you ladies to a cup of coffee to make amends?" Yang Qin raised his hands and said as if begging for mercy.
The female students were amused and agreed one after another. Yi Hanxing and Sun Cheng exchanged glances and happily agreed, "Teacher Yang, you can't just apologize with coffee. You have to give us at least a chocolate cake!"
"As you wish, young lady!" Yang Qin said playfully, with a cheerful smile on his face, just like a child.
