Chapter 677 Return to China!

ˆ “.”

 In the grove.

I heard what Xiao Yang said.

 Chen Shengshen couldn't help but show a little surprise on his face:

 “If you don’t hurry up, you won’t be able to go back? Xiao Yang, where do you start talking about this?”

Xiao Yang once again flipped through the "Physical Review Letters" in front of him a few times, and said slowly:

 “Save yourself, how should I put it? Strictly speaking, this should be just a personal guess on my part.”

 “At least in my opinion, this article was published a little too hastily.”

 Chen Shengshen raised his eyebrows:

 “A little anxious?”

"yes."

Xiao Yang changed to a more comfortable sitting position on the stone chair, and then said:

“Everyone must be aware of the current international situation. European and American countries are always watching the development of the East and doing their best to implement various blockades.”

“In China, I have kept a low profile for a long time. I look like a donkey. If I can, I won’t be a conspicuous bag. I will never do anything to attract the limelight.”

“But this paper is completely different from the domestic development policy. It suddenly changed from restrained to overt, or rather arrogant.”

 “There are only three possibilities for causing this situation.”

 Said.

Xiao Yang first raised a finger:

“First, everyone in the country has gone crazy. Everyone has forgotten the Tao and is possessed. They cannot distinguish between reality and illusion, so they have changed their personalities.”

 Chen Shengshen smiled when he heard this.

 This is obviously impossible.

Those rabbits in the country are famous for their strategic vision, and there is a chance that their heads will twitch together. Just kidding, instead of believing this, it is better to believe that there is a future time traveler in the country now.

Xiao Yang himself obviously didn’t believe this statement, so he quickly raised his second finger:

“The second possibility is that an international team with the same research plan to publish the same results, and the country made this move in order to grab the first release.”

 This time.

 Chen Shengshen thought for a little longer:

“Xiao Yang, the probability of this possibility is much higher than the first one.”

 “Yeah, but it’s still limited.”

Xiao Yang smiled at Chen Shengshen and explained:

“If there is a team in the European and American scientific community that has achieved results on the model, I will probably hear about it.”

“The news here does not refer to specific scientific research results, but news such as how soon a certain team will publish a journal, which is also a typical prediction method in the industry.”

"Unfortunately, I have never heard of anything like this until today, so I think the probability of this is also not very high."

“After excluding the above two points, there is only one possibility left.”

 Speak here.

Xiao Yang couldn't help but take a deep breath and said solemnly:

“Some things have happened in China, so I am extremely eager to use this paper to gather overseas students. If it is too late, something may happen.”

Xiao Yang finished speaking.

Chen Shengshen and Li Jingjun, who were opposite him, couldn't help but look at each other.

 Assembly number.

This not-so-thick "PhysicalReviewLetters" journal has such a meaning behind it?

 After a while.

Chen Shengshen suddenly thought of something. He quickly looked around a few more times, made sure there was no one around, and said in a low voice:

“Xiao Yang, do you think it’s possible that the domestic atomic bomb is about to explode?”

 Mentioned earlier.

 It is not a big secret that the rabbits are working on the atomic bomb, even the key personnel working on the atomic bomb.

Zhao Zhongyao, Wang Ganchang, and Lu Guangda mentioned in the paper "Physical Review Letters" were all rumored to be in charge of the Rabbits' nuclear weapons project, so after calming down, Chen Shengshen immediately thought of the possibility of an atomic bomb.

 “Atomic bomb.”

Xiao Yang frowned, thought for a while, and said:

“To be honest, it is possible, but the probability is also not high.”

“Although the atomic bomb is a powerful deterrent, it is only a first-generation nuclear weapon. Even if the domestic test explosion is successful, it is unlikely to make Europe and the United States so nervous that they will not allow international students to return to the country.”

“After all, this kind of blockade has to pay a big price. If it’s just atomic bombs, I really think it’s not that good.”

 Chen Shengshen was silent.

The [price] Xiao Yang mentioned was familiar to him or to several people at the scene. After all, the other side of the sea had already blocked the return of overseas students once.

 During that blocking process, the other side of the sea spent a lot of money on public opinion, describing domestic conditions and prospects as extremely bad—and the writers of these news have to pay for it.

In addition, in order to retain some top talents, Haidian also offered very generous prices, which was not just a verbal obstruction.

 So let’s put it bluntly.

 Most of the overseas students who are truly determined to serve the country returned to China ten years ago. Theoretically speaking, these scholars who stayed on the other side of the country do not need to be particularly nervous.

Even if the atomic bomb test is successful and a few dozen international students are affected and return home, it will still not have any significant impact on the market.

unless

Think of this.

　　唰—

 Chen Shengshen, Li Jingjun and Xiao Yang all thought of a possibility at the same time, and all had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

 Unless what the country is going to come up with next is more terrifying than the "magnitude" of an atomic bomb?

even

 Can it make people across the sea feel fear?

 But how is this possible?

The three of them were silent for a while, and then Xiao Yang continued:

“Of course, you two, the above are just my personal guesses. What we should discuss now is..."

 “Do you want to go back to your country?”

 Return to the country.

I heard these two words coming from Xiao Yang’s mouth.

 The atmosphere at the scene was once again visibly condensed.

 The three of them have been staying at Berkeley University in the past few days, but they have a tacit agreement not to discuss this topic - they are all waiting for today's paper.

Now that the paper has been published, it’s time to return to the original choice.

After more than ten seconds, Li Jingjun licked the corners of his mouth and asked Chen Shengshen:

 “Brother Sheng Shen, what do you think?”

ˆ “.”

 Chen Shengshen tapped his slender index finger on the table a few times, and finally took a deep breath:

“Jingjun, Xiao Yang, I’m going back.” Li Jingjun heard a hint of astonishment on his face.

 He ​​has known Chen Shengshen for nearly twenty years, and he is very clear about his old friend's character - unlike his outstanding talent in mathematics, Chen Shengshen has always had difficulty making choices in life.

He often hesitates about whole-wheat bread and toast for a long time, let alone returning to China, something that is related to the development of the rest of his life.

 The result was unexpected.

 Among the three of them, Chen Shengshen actually expressed his position so early. I didn’t expect it to be him.

Facing Li Jingjun’s astonishment, Chen Shengshen smiled softly:

“Brother Jingjun, why are you looking at me like this?”

"I am now fifty years old. I came to the other side of the sea at the invitation of Mr. Oppenheimer, and a whole round has passed."

“Everything is good here across the sea, with advanced technology, modern rhythm, and tall and prosperous buildings, but after all, this is not our own home.”

As he spoke, Chen Shengshen couldn't help but sigh:

“Ten years ago, I was an overseas student who returned to China. At that time, I faced concerns about my family and political background, so I declined the invitation.”

“Now that Xiaopu (Chen Shengshen’s daughter) is eleven years old, her body has already endured the bumpy journey of returning home, and I have given up all my political concerns.”

“Now that there is such an opportunity for everyone to return to China together, I feel that I can’t miss it again.”

“Actually, it’s okay to return to China like this. Lao Hua and I still have some things to reconcile.”

 Perhaps it was because he was stimulated by Xiao Yang’s previous words.

Chén Shengshen, a mathematician who was surrounded by many mysteries in later generations, rarely showed his emotions.

 When later generations talk about the scholars who stayed across the sea after the founding of the People's Republic of China, they often use sentences such as "coveting the good life across the sea" to describe them.

But in fact.

 There are some scholars who really focus on pursuing material life and stay across the sea, but the number is really not that many.

 According to official statistics from the Immigration Bureau across the sea.

From 1930 to 1945, scholars who studied abroad in Haidong took an average of 11.3 years to become naturalized. By 1960, there were only 17 international students who had naturalized in Haidong within three years after graduation.

 So the trajectories of most scholars studying in the United States are actually very hesitant, that is, they are gradually tilting towards the opposite side of the sea due to the superposition of various factors.

On the contrary, when China becomes stronger and stronger in the future, many people will try their best to reach the other side of the sea.

  Chen Shengshen’s experience is a typical example of the former:

 Graduating in logistics, Chen Shengshen has long had deep political concerns, which led to Chen Shengshen being doubtful and wavering when many international students returned to China.

At the same time, the period when many overseas students returned to China coincided with the birth of Chen Shengshen’s daughter, Chen Pu. Chen Shengshen was worried that something might happen to his daughter and his wife who had just given birth while sitting on the boat for too long, so he finally decided to stay on the other side of the sea.

The next story is the so-called weight stacking. If it hadn't happened like today, Chen Shengshen would have stayed across the sea in more than a month.

  As for the Lao Hua he refers to, he refers to Hua Luogeng.

Hua Luogeng once wrote a letter to persuade Chen Shengshen to return to China, but Chen Shengshen ended up staying across the sea for various reasons.

Later, in 1955, the Rabbits selected the first batch of academic faculty members. Chen Shengshen’s mentor Sun Guangyuan unfortunately failed to be elected. Chen Shengshen believed that this was Hua Luogeng’s revenge on himself.

The two had some minor conflicts over this, but fortunately they finally talked it out.

Of course.

In the end, this incident did not particularly affect the friendship between the two, and it was far from reaching the point where Xiao Yang and Xiao Li had no contact with each other for the rest of their lives - but the relationship between Chen Shengshen and Qiu Chengtong was not very good.

 Then Chen Shengshen looked at Li Jingjun and asked:

“Jingjun, where are you?”

"me?"

Li Jingjun stretched when he heard this and looked at the sky in the distance with a long look:

“I am also going back. After all, I am different from you. I came here to escape.”

“Now that I have two big figures as guarantees, I definitely plan to return to China.”

 Chen Shengshen nodded.

 There is nothing wrong with what Li Jingjun said.

Li Jingjun is indeed an absolute exception among all scholars studying in the United States. There are many scholars studying in the United States these days who have worked in logistics, but Li Jingjun is really alone.

But luckily.

Now that the main leaders in the country have learned about Li Jingjun's situation, they have also co-signed a handwritten letter to him. Under such circumstances, he naturally has no reason not to return to his homeland.

Furthermore, Li Jingjun’s relatives and friends are all in China. As far as Chen Shengshen knows, his friend is not particularly adaptable to the living habits and food types across the sea.

 So Li Jingjun’s answer was not beyond Chen Shengshen’s expectation, it was the best guess.

 Follow.

Li Jingjun and Chen Shengshen turned their heads at the same time and locked their eyes on Xiao Yang beside them.

 “Xiao Yang, what about you?”

Hearing the questions from the two elders, Xiao Yang couldn't help but have a trace of hesitation on his face.

to be honest.

Even though Xiao Yang, among the three people present, was the Chinese scholar who persisted the longest to become naturalized across the sea, his heart was actually far less determined than his resume.

For example, in the past few years, his father Yang Wuzhi has traveled across the ocean many times in an attempt to bring Xiao Yang back to China:

  From the summer of 1957 to 1962, Yang Wuzhi reunited with Xiao Yang three times in Geneva, and he also mentioned many times that he hoped Yang Zhenning could serve the motherland.

However, it is a pity that Xiao Yang's mother Luo Menghua disagreed with her son's return to China every time. When Yang Wuzhi introduced that airplanes could be manufactured in China, she said: "Don't focus on these." I got up in the dark to buy tofu. I stood in line for three hours and could only buy two uneven pieces. What's the good thing? 】.

So Xiao Yang’s journey back to China was interrupted.

Of course.

If the responsibility is simply attributed to the so-called "loving mother", then it would be unfair to Luo Menghua - Xiao Yang's own wishes cannot be ignored either.

 At least at that time, Xiao Yang was not very willing to return to China.

 But it’s very subtle.

Seven years after Xiao Yang became a naturalized citizen, he took the initiative to propose returning to China to make contributions. However, this application was persuaded by the writer who chatted with Xu Yun.

 Perhaps only Xiao Yang himself understands the inner journey.

It is a pity that in the eyes of later generations, Xiao Yang, or perhaps Lao Yang, was mostly prepared to take this past and his grudges with Xiao Li into the grave alone and seal them away.

 At this time, with the emergence of certain variables, Xiao Yang is once again faced with the choice of whether to return to China or not.

 And this time.

 What would his answer be?

Facing Li Jingjun and Chen Shengshen who were staring at him without blinking, Xiao Yang's expression gradually began to change.

Although in the original history he eventually became a citizen of the country across the sea, this does not mean that he has no feelings for the homeland of his birth - if he were so ruthless, he would not have delayed the immigration contract for a full 19 years. signature.

 It's just that the weight on the other side of the sea was heavier than the mainland every time, but this time it was the local weight that gradually gained the upper hand.

 Zhao Zhongyao.

 Lu Guangda.

Yang Wuzhi.

The faces of friends and relatives flashed through Xiao Yang’s mind quickly, and the final image settled on the national flag given to him by his father Yang Wuzhi last year.

Although it was just a memory, Xiao Yang felt the heat coming from the national flag.

  In less than half a minute.

Xiao Yang slowly opened his closed eyes, took a deep breath, and made a decision with extremely far-reaching consequences:

“Brother Jingjun, brother Shengshen, I will go back to China with you, let’s.”

 “Go home together!”
