/ I Got on a Ghost Ship By Mistake and Was Forced To Be the Captain Chapter 212
Chapter 212 Wall of Glory
Shaked all the way from the dizzying carriage.
To welcome Tu Fu back to JMU was a row of fragrant flower baskets. The security guards at the gate formed two guards of honor, wearing ill-fitting dresses. Their stiff smiles were like a piece of frozen raw meat.
Walking from the gate of the University of Michigan to the inside, an exaggerated red carpet is spread on the ground.
Before he could react, he was led in by two good-looking girls who helped him one by one.
"boom!"
When Tu Fu walked on the red carpet, the guards of honor on both sides respectively blew the fireworks in their hands. Amidst the sound of cannonballs, the plastic fireworks floated over his head in buckets from the pipes.
Festive rolls of red plastic paper all over Tu Fu's head.
Undoubtedly, a celebratory ritual.
Under the eyes of everyone, it is so embarrassing that you can pick out a luxury house with your toes.
"Welcome our classmate Tuf Capet to return to school, and congratulations on your victory in that shameful lawsuit. Every student and teacher at the University of Michigan is proud of you."
The dean of natural science, Mr. Lester, stepped forward and solemnly shook Tu Fu's hand.
"Papa Papa—"
There was a burst of intensive applause, and the warm welcome from the students in the school almost made Tu Fu almost melt.
"how do you feel."
"...Not bad." Tu Fu inadvertently let out a long breath, "But I think there is still room for improvement."
"How to change."
"Why don't you let everyone hold hands and surround me next time, and sing happy birthday to me in a circle.
I promise... I will definitely live in another country. "
Dean Lester naturally heard the sarcasm in Tu Fu's words, and he didn't look annoyed, "But I think that for young scholars who establish a new academic system, no amount of lively welcome ceremony can be overstated."
Aware of Tu Fu's embarrassment, he took the initiative to disperse most of the people, and let the guard of honor and atmosphere group leave together, leaving only a few teachers from the two colleges.
Their intentions are obvious enough.
International journal academic organization, in accordance with Tu Fu's request, prohibits all teachers and students from the two campuses of the Academy of Natural Sciences and the Academy of Biological Sciences from borrowing.
Now, no one dares to take Tu Fu's instructions seriously.
The School of Biological Sciences is fine, it has nothing to do with physics, but how can the Orthodox Academy of Sciences not be in a hurry, it is the most cutting-edge path of physics,
The closest shortcut to the truth.
Scholars from the other six universities in the Alliance of Seven Schools are frantically digesting and absorbing the new system, and within a hundred years, the level of applied physics will probably reach a new high. No matter what novel inventions can only come from the hands of the other six universities.
At that time, the only thing waiting for the Michigan Academy of Natural Sciences is a complete decline, the reason is only the selfishness of the two deans at the beginning.
If this matter is not resolved, Leicester may not even be able to keep the position of dean.
"Where are you going to take me?"
“A place, you will know it when you arrive.”
After entering the school, Tu Fu looked around. It seemed that this group of people had no intention of letting him go, and they always surrounded him, showing amiable smiles from time to time.
Tu Fu simply remained silent, without saying a word.
He was led by Mr. Lester all the way to the depths of the school.
Finally, after walking for a long time, he arrived at the Wall of Glory in the Grand Plaza. He had been here many times, and it was a piece of land planned by the University of Michigan to commemorate famous alumni.
On the commemorative board of stone carvings, there are densely engraved names.
The ones listed are all great people, academic geniuses, business celebrities, political celebrities...
When those who meet sufficient standards can have their names engraved on the wall of glory, their contributions to the university will be recorded on it.
Although it is not the first time to come here, every time I see the dense names and statues and browse the past of celebrities, it will always shock my heart, as if I am in history.
Dean Leicester's expression suddenly became solemn, "Tu Fu, recently we are discussing to engrave your name on the Wall of Glory after you graduate, what do you want?"
"Put my name on it too?"
Tu Fu pointed to himself, he was not surprised by this decision.
In terms of contribution, my resume is definitely enough.
I just didn't expect that the school would inform me of such an arrangement after only one semester.
It's not surprising, Tu Fu shook his head amusedly, I'm afraid some people are dying of anxiety now.
"There may be only one student who is eligible to be on the Wall of Glory in several classes. It can be said in a few words.
Most of them endured the loneliness and pain beyond ordinary people, and through unremitting efforts, they finally achieved success.
For example, Professor Burleigh, who improved the steam engine, always liked to do some weird experiments during his academic career because of his advanced academic concepts and unconstrained thinking.
So he was often mistaken for a liar, and even delayed his studies, and was almost kicked out of the college by the University of Michigan several times.
Fortunately, he overcame the difficulties and finally improved the steam engine, ushering in a new era of energy use.
Before the ironclad ship was launched, people thought going to sea was just a joke.
To be honest, Tu Fu, I think you now have the honor of being on a par with them. Because you too have had doubts and had tough times.
But fortunately everything is in the past, it is better to let go of your previous prejudices and work together with the Academy of Natural Sciences. We believe that your future must be limitless. "
Dean Lester's tone was mixed with a hint of eagerness and expectation.
If it wasn't for Tu Fu's thick skin, let alone the previous ostentation, Dean Leicester's praise under the wall of glory alone has already begun to repent of his previous actions.
"Sir, you are right, but I don't know if the seniors on the wall of glory will be ashamed because of your thought kidnapping."
Tu Fu naturally understood.
The other party tried to use a disgusting moral kidnapping to bind him to the glory of the University of Michigan. In front of many celebrities of the University of Michigan, he could not give him a reason for his refusal.
Fortunately, Tu Fu, whose moral character has never been high,
Refused to be kidnapped.
Hearing his answer, everyone in the two colleges fell silent.
And Tu Fu focused on improving Mr. Steam Engine's sculpture, and muttered to himself intently, "It seems good that my statue can stand here in the future."
This bold idea is not limited to the two deans, the staff of the two colleges are speechless at the same time.
"Why don't you put forward your request first, and we will consider it as appropriate." Dean Leicester pondered.
"It's not difficult, help me restart the Polar Program."
Tu Fu simply threw a blockbuster bomb, which directly blew up everyone.
Before they agreed, Tu Fu took the opportunity to throw out the second request, "Also, of course you can use my results. But it's not appropriate not to pay some fees, you can see.
The funds awarded to you by the Ministry of Education every year are the first among the five colleges. You can give as much as you think those things are worth, and it's all up to you. "
This medical expense is a matter of course.
He hates being stabbed in the back the most, especially when outsiders want to abolish him for ridiculous reasons.
Now giving the other party room for negotiation is the biggest concession he has ever made.
"We will seriously consider your proposal and wait for a few more days. We will give you a satisfactory answer after the assessment of this semester."
Dean Leicester nodded seriously.
In fact, they seem to be ready to negotiate with each other, but they are actually ready to be slaughtered.
The leadership of the Academy of Natural Sciences has long been unable to retreat.
From the day when Tu Fu gave a speech at the Royal Society that caused a sensation in the northern and southern continents, they had already lost, and they had to prepare a humiliating contract early.
Tu Fu stayed alone in Memorial Square until everyone retreated.
He stared at the professor Burleigh who improved the steam engine, his eyes were full of embarrassment.
More than a hundred years ago, the closed northern continent had Burleigh and inventors of steamships. They once stood at the fork of history and overcame many difficulties.
Finally chose the right path and achieved great success.
Today, more than a hundred years later,
In an era when the steam engine has gradually aged and emerging technologies are unclear.
I stand alone at the crossroads of history,
Faced with the same choice again.
