Go back to the past and be a schoolboy

"Boss, do you sell this radio?"

At Qianmen Railway Station, the owner of the newsstand just arrived at the booth, and before the window panel was opened, he was interrupted by customers behind him.

"I like this radio very much. I don't know where you bought it? There are so many things in such a small box. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's a wonderful workmanship." The customer looked at the radio and clicked his tongue. Amazing.

"At that time, thanks to my connections, ordinary people may not have this opportunity. Don't look at this thing as small, it has everything you want in it, and you will know it at 12 o'clock at noon." Unknowingly, the movements on the table became much lighter: "But you have to come early, if you are late, there will be no place."

After setting up the stall, the boss saw that the customer was not too young, so he kindly moved a small horse, and specially asked: "You can always get closer to the ground, so that you can hear clearly, so you don't have to wait until later." There are too many people, and being squeezed to the back can only join in the fun."

The customer waved his hand with a smile, and there was only room for the ore radio in his eyes: "Boss, I still want to ask, how do you plan to sell this thing, I really love this thing, and it is not available in the market, you Just make an offer, if the price is right, I will never counter-offer."

The boss raised his beard, and immediately took back the ponytail he just handed out, and flatly refused: "Then you will hit a snag today, even if this newsstand sells, the radio will not be sold, this is the famous Professor Cheng It was given to us, the contemporary Wenqu star, and I plan to take this as an heirloom."

The more adjectives, the bigger the bargaining chip you want in your heart, and the higher the probability of paying for it.

The customer was well aware of the above reasons, so he didn't say anything to refute. He just stretched out five fingers lightly: "Five oceans!"

The boss narrowed his eyes slightly, but still refused: "It's not just as simple as what Professor Cheng gave us. In the middle, Professor Cheng directly leads people to teach the technology. It's hard to find such an opportunity with a lantern. He trusts me so much. I really don’t want to disappoint Professor Cheng.”

The customer made a five forehand and another five for the backhand: "Five oceans for the radio, five oceans for your technology, a total of ten oceans, how about it?"

"This..." The boss couldn't sit still. Selling newspapers is a hard job. Although he is better than the newspaper boys running on the street, his income is still meager. Counting ten oceans, it is almost three or four. It's been a month's income, and now he just nodded slightly, and the money was recorded, which really moved his heart.

After hesitating for a while, the boss hesitated and said: "Ten yuan is indeed a lot. After all, Professor Cheng is a contemporary Wenqu star, and many children are not worshiping Confucius before the exam. They are replaced by Professor Cheng..."

The customer knew that the heat was almost ready, so he pretended to be curious and said, "In your opinion, what should we do next?"

The boss gritted his teeth and said, "We need to pay more!"

The customer didn't even think about it, and said directly: "Then double it, 20 yuan!"

The boss was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that the other party didn't even make a counter-offer, so he just agreed, which was unimaginable to him.

I was secretly happy, but also a little regretful.

"I... Am I asking too low?"

It's a pity that the customer didn't give him a chance to repent. He took out 20 yuan directly from his hand, placed them on the booth one by one, and then waved. Two servants appeared out of nowhere, one was responsible for dismantling the antenna, and Responsible for packing the radio.

In the blink of an eye, the ore radio was packed and packed.

Before leaving, the customer stopped on purpose, looked back and said: "Then thank you boss for your love, and we will see you again!"

At this time, the boss has been somewhat blinded by greed, and even wanted to catch up: "Sir, you..."

When the customer saw this attitude, his tone immediately stiffened: "Huh? Boss, do you have anything else to do?"

Under this posture, the boss finally became sober. A person who can take his family with him at any time when he is away from home is definitely not comparable to a small businessman like him. Now he still wants to make trouble for others. It is really a rat licking a cat's ass— — to die.

"You...you go slowly. If there is anything you don't understand, you can contact me at any time. My booth will not move here." The owner of the newsstand did not dare to look directly at the customers, and stammered a bit.

Hearing this, the line of the customer's face became much softer, and he smiled and said, "It's okay, I don't know anything about radio, I wish the boss a prosperous business."

After finishing speaking, he followed the servant and turned to leave.

The boss raised his head only when he was sure he couldn't see these figures, and took a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his face.

"Hey, this Sijiu city is really not a place for people to stay. If you don't pay attention, you can meet a powerful person, and you don't know how to offend him."

However, when he saw the 20 yuan ocean on the booth, the boss couldn't help feeling satisfied again. He picked up one and blew a few breaths, and put it to his ear to hear the sound. guilt.

"Professor Cheng, I'm sorry, I'll give you two catties of pork head meat tomorrow..."

While the newsstand owner was still muttering, a neighbor came over and asked curiously, "Fourth, what are you doing?"

"Oh, nothing, I was just thinking about today's news."

"Let me tell you, this Professor Cheng is really amazing. Not only did he research radio broadcasts that foreigners can't get, but he also got wireless telegraphs. It's really amazing, but some people in this public house are just trying to take advantage of others. , working as a traitor... hey, where's your radio?"

"Didn't the horn sound last time? I took it to someone to fix it. It just so happened that Professor Cheng's new article arrived today. Why don't you take it and read it?"

"Sure, give me two..."

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

After the customer in front took the ore radio away, he quickly set it up at home and listened to it. Hearing the content from the radio was very strange at first, but after listening to it for a few days, he felt as if he had opened the door to a new world, so he wrote directly in the newspaper A short story in which it reads:

"Walking in the air for a long time, I saw a mountain top in the distance. Between the top of the mountain and the top of the mountain, there was a large cylinder more than one foot thick, and many birdcages were hung under the cylinder.

The old man said that this is the empty China we live in, but the young man didn’t think so, and thought to himself how strange it was.I have never seen a house suspended in the air, nor a man living in a birdcage.

Just as he was thinking, the speeding car approached a mountain and gradually slowed down.There is an extremely high iron frame standing on the mountain, the old man pointed and said, this is a radio station, it is used for communication with Venus and Mercury..."

Guys, this kind of thinking directly surpasses all the previous ones, from national communication, to world communication, and directly jumps to the current radio communication with space and other planets.

And this is not the most exaggerated, when this article was published, it actually aroused the theory of "ghost/god" in the society.

This new invention creates a sensation that can be transmitted without wires, while invisible radio waves bring people a new environment that has never been experienced, leading people into an imaginative and mysterious new world among.

People began to realize that the air is full of electromagnetic waves, radio broadcasts signals everywhere, sends information in all directions, and is associated with words such as spirit, soul, ghosts and gods, and radio is considered supernatural or unnatural.

Jiang Jiangzuo was speechless when he heard the news, and found Cheng Nuo with the collected articles: "Tell me what kind of reason this is. Our Academy of Sciences makes inventions for the cause of science and to popularize scientific knowledge. I didn't expect to suffer from The problem of circulation was actually solved by superstition.”

Cheng Nuo walked over with a smile and asked, "What's the matter, I think the public opinion is quite supportive of us."

"It's very supportive, but the direction of support is a bit biased!" Thinking of this, Jiang Jiangzuo became angry: "It is obviously an electromagnetic wave, so I have to use 'electric wave' to describe it, isn't it against us. "

"Electric wave? This word is quite interesting." Cheng Nuo followed the direction pointed by the other party, took out the newspaper, picked out a paragraph and read it out:

"However, radio waves fly out of thin air, sprinkle all over heaven and earth, rise above the sky, and descend into the underworld. Regardless of how many miles they are high or low, we don't care about them for the time being. And the four to eight paths run in opposite directions. , [-] miles, already covers the whole world... Isn't this very literary!"

"Hey, shouldn't the word 'serious' be the most important thing in science? They're just messing around, look what words are used to describe it later, let's not talk about 'jingqi', what does this 'ether' mean? ? Why did you bring in Western superstitions?" Jiang Jiangzuo lifted the newspaper behind him, furious.

The western scientific circles believe that the ether diffuses in the space, and various substances in the space are connected by the ether.

In this regard, Cheng Nuo was more magnanimous: "Science popularization work should not be too rigid. I think this is very good. It just combines with our traditional culture to imagine this new technological invention. It is easier to understand and helps people understand radio to a certain extent. After all, there are not many people who can read this mysterious object."

Although the truth is the same, Jiang Jiangzuo was still a little unwilling. He turned the newspaper to the end and pointed to one of the articles and said, "Let's put aside the previous ones for now, but what do you say about the latter ones?
This airborne and elusive substance is thought to harm the birds, and where we set up ore radios, gulls and doves are often prone to lose their way home because of the radio waves. "

Originally, Cheng Nuo had a big heart, but after hearing the news, he gradually realized the importance of correct science popularization.

But looking at the back, I found that this is not the most ridiculous.

Some people are worried about radio, while others fantasize that radio can be used for "geotherapy" to treat diseases that cannot be treated by conventional medicine because of this characteristic.

In order to attract customers, a teahouse with an ore radio stated directly in public: "This radio can cure all kinds of diseases with spiritual means. It is very similar to the current electric light. When the power is insufficient, the light will be dim and colorless. It will be clear immediately.

The radio uses the same scientific principle to bring the stubborn disease from one end to the other through the power in the air, and the disease will be eliminated immediately..."

"Hooligans are not scary, just afraid that hooligans are educated. Isn't this the same as the nanotherapy and activated carbon recovery in the previous life? I didn't expect to fatten a liar here." Cheng Nuo was a little angry immediately, and wanted to find this group of people directly. trouble.

On the one hand, through the broadcast content, to warn the audience.

On the other hand, the Academy of Sciences has only one set of radios on the market, and they are basically the ones that are distributed for free. For such blatant money grabbers, all of them will be confiscated.

But from a side view, "broadcasting" and "radio" are completely popular, otherwise everyone would not want to take a share.

Where there is bad, there is naturally good.

Although the public criticizes what the "public" does, at the same time, it also shapes the radio as a "common environment" that the world seeks, and believes that it can achieve in-depth communication of souls.

Even Brother Xun, who has a serious face, after appreciating the charm of radio, compares the human brain to a "wonderful radio station", which can receive and sense the outside world.

He even wrote a special short article, which reads: "The passionate men and women in the world, every time they look at each other, and then they are connected with each other, they finally become a family, and they are all connected to each other."

Brother Xun deserves to be Brother Xun. He originally created words such as "don't hesitate to enlighten me", "references from sources", and "pleasing to the eye", but now because of Cheng Nuo's radio, he actually created another idiom of "combination of electronic works". It's really interesting full.

Originally, Lu Yongxiang, the envoy of the Songhu Army Guards, still wanted to continue to be a coward, pretending to be deaf and dumb for a period of time, and the matter would pass safely.

But he ignored the huge storm brought by the radio, one wave after another, so heavy that he could hardly breathe.

"Professor Cheng, as the leader of the current domestic scientific circles, works for the livelihood of the people and the country. The development of wireless is a great cause for the future. However, Lu Yongxiang's rats block it. Internally, the effectiveness of telecommunications and communication has not been revealed, and externally, the interests of sovereignty are at stake. Repeated losses will bring disaster to the country and the people..."

"The traffic in the world is getting closer and closer than ever before, international business competition is fierce, and diplomacy is complicated. Research on wireless is imminent, and we have to advance accordingly. Talent training is the most important thing. I heard that a big man in Shanghai is not active. It's nothing more than training, but it's unreasonable to attack them so hard..."

"The construction of radio is related to the establishment of international radio stations and the handling of international communication matters. Those who respect sovereignty and improve the status of our country should go all out, and those who are timid and obstructed should be severely punished..."

This is good, the media reprimanded him, and there were many critics in the public house, which made Lu Yongxiang unable to sleep well for several days and nights. In the end, there was nothing wrong with him. He really wanted to send those three living ancestors away, but he missed a chance to step down .

Guessing that the fire was almost over, Cheng Nuo directly contacted Zhang Jian, who would act as a guarantee and request the release of the students. (end of this chapter)
