From Chief to Ball

"No. I don't know how to choose it. If you are dedicated to learning, even if you are dedicated to seeking fame, I can take this word. But your thoughts are too big."

"Sir, isn't your mind just as grand as that?"

"It's not the same. My mind is big, but I know which way I should go. What about you? Seek fame, become famous, and what will you do next?"

"Do what feels right to me."

"That's the problem. You became famous when you were young, so you stand too high, and you always think that what you do must be right. You know a little about astronomy, geography, arithmetic, and things, but you don't want to follow this road. The rest is nothing more than It’s a matter of experimenting on people.”

Chen Jian was horrified, but couldn't refute, so he had to bow his head.

"So, I don't want to give you this word. There is no word in life, but there is a posthumous posthumous title after death. Let's leave it to future generations."

"Sir, are you afraid that I will do anything to gain fame?"

"Seeking fame? If you really want to seek fame, I won't worry about it. Seeking fame is just a means, which makes me worry. In short, think twice about everything. You have seen that everything is made of particles, and I am afraid that you will put All things are just particles."

"Sir, did you mean this when you mentioned the soul?"

"Half and half. I really want to do an experiment with me before I die, but I really want to remind you. Everything is a particle, and a particle is not everything."

"The disciple knows."

Mr. Mu nodded, and let Chen Jian help him to turn around along the path without saying anything more.

When he turned back again, Mr. Mu seemed to want to open up, and said with a smile, "Come with me for a few drinks. I'll find someone to see what you're going to do the day after tomorrow."

……

In two days, the news of Chen Jian's coming to the academy spread in the small circle.

Many people who opposed him received invitations, many people who were interested in him also received invitations, and many people who had no intersection with him before also received invitations.

There is no intersection, it does not mean that the name has not been heard.Nowadays, the knowledge of various subjects is not too deep. Chen Jian looked at it and found that many subjects are still in their infancy. Maybe the subject of mathematics has reached the high school level, but some of them are already at a higher level than Chen Jian. It is the thinking ability that is the best in ten thousand, which is really beyond Chen Jian's comparison.

Many people are considered all-rounders, they have dabbled in all aspects, and they have made various preparations for the invitation.

They also all guessed that the commotion this time would be very big. The commotion that Moxie said last time was already overwhelming. This time, they went to the academy to directly invite so many people, and they were afraid that the commotion would cause another storm.

Such news quickly reached Lin Xi's ears. She is now studying agriculture in the academy, and the two are not far apart but have not seen each other.

She didn't have that kind of little girl's thoughts, knowing that Chen Jian must have something important to come here this time, but she didn't come to her for two days, so she couldn't help but feel a little angry.

I thought about making some gestures after meeting to let him know that I was actually a little angry, but when I really met, I put all these small thoughts behind me, ran over in a hurry, and chattered in the capital city. of various experiences.

Compared with the loneliness in Mincheng, here finally there is a bit more youthful flavor, holding Chen Jian's hand and wandering aimlessly in the woods of the academy.

For young people, these landscapes of mountains, rivers, bamboos and stones often become extremely beautiful because of one more person.

"Are you going back to Mincheng in a few days?"

"Yeah, we still have to work hard for our dream of going to sea."

"That can't be too early, at least after I finish my studies. There are still three or four years."

"Yeah, I know. Did you learn well here?"

Chen Jian thought to himself, I may not be able to wait three or four years, and besides, it is impossible to take you with me when I go to sea for the first time, so I can't say this directly.

Changing the topic, Lin Xi became happy when he talked about studying here. After all, the best people of the younger generation are here, and there are many collections of books and specimens. It is perfect.

"By the way, where is my friend Henry Zhang? How many times have you seen him?"

"He's in another school, not too far from here. It's common in the past. He's busy with other things outside the school, discussing things like people and the country with some young people. He even asked me to go with him several times. , but I didn’t go again after hearing it once.”

"why are you not going?"

"Can't understand."

Chen Jian laughed, and Lin Xi said helplessly: "I really don't understand. Because I don't understand, I think what they said makes sense. Every word they say makes sense, but these words make sense Sometimes it’s tit for tat, so the problem is serious... It’s not a problem if you don’t understand, if the two contradictory words sound reasonable, then it’s troublesome. Simply, I won’t go.”

"That's right. How scary."

"Yes, yes. It's better to hide in the academy."

"But you will have to leave the academy in the future."

"It's either going to the deep mountains or going to the sea. Is it possible that I want to tell those ants that you are just slaves of the queen and should resist?"

Chen Jian was teased for a long time, and Lin Xi also laughed haha.

Looking up at the sky, it was just when the sun was bright, Chen Jian took Lin Xi's hand and said, "Go, I'll take you to see something good."

The two hands held together walked across the courtyard, came to the side where Chen Jian was, walked into the room, and took out a very weird copper thing.

The shape is very strange and weird. There is a very delicate mirror underneath to reflect light, and there are some very fine lenses on the copper tube.

"what is this?"

"Your new eyes. I'll show you a new world."

Without any explanation, he pulled Lin Xi outside, and turned the reflective mirror below to the sunlight, so that the light could pass through these lens combinations that were magnified hundreds of times.

A sliced ​​onion, a drop of water from a pond, adjusted the distance.Now I haven't found a suitable dye, and the magnification of the ground lens is not very high. I can see the flagellate organisms in the onion and water droplets, but I can't see the smaller things clearly—of course, some tadpoles can see them. Yes, Chen Jian has tried it.

When everything was ready, Lin Xi narrowed one eye and put it on the eyepiece, but couldn't help but let out a cry for a moment.

She really saw a new world in her eyes, a world she had never seen before.

Lin Xi felt that the onions in her eyes were like the wasps' nests that she built on the window lattice of her house when she was a child, they were arranged so tightly and orderly.The only difference is that it is full of the breath of death, just like the beehive that was fumigated by the father with absinthe, the swarm of bees fled, leaving only the solitary beehive.

Under the lens, it looks like a western desert full of death, without a trace of life.

If this is a world, it must be a dead world.

Chapter 80 Obtaining knowledge through investigation ([-])

After a long time, Lin Xi raised his head and asked in surprise, "Are they... are they dead?"

"Maybe, I don't know."

"This is the world in the onion?"

"Maybe, I don't know."

Lin Xi lowered her head again, wanting to take another look, but Chen Jian held out his hand to stop them, and said, "Give them a name."

"name?"
