The Higher Institute of Technology in Milan (the predecessor of Politecnico di Milano) is a famous architecture, design and engineering school in Italy. Its founder, Mr. Francesco Brioschi, tried to spread science in the school.
Progress to gradually achieve political progress and the concept of social development.
That is why this college, founded in 1863, has its unique style and is unique among Italian schools.
Of course, unlike later generations that enroll tens of thousands of people, current European universities generally only enroll a few hundred people, and the Politecnico di Milano (forget it, just call it this name, the Institute of Advanced Technology does not look like the name of the school, although it is
The name of the school) is based on the principle of pursuing excellence rather than seeking more. It enrolls only more than 200 students.
Moreover, these two hundred people are divided into three major categories: architecture, design and engineering. Each category has only a few dozen students. If calculated based on the entrance grade, there will not be more than 20 students in each grade.
It can be said to be a standard elite education. Of course, if you want to enter this university, you cannot rely solely on your financial ability, because the principal, Mr. Brioschi, pays close attention to the quality of teaching. Not to mention sleeping in class, he is just a little bit careless.
, you will be severely criticized if you watch it.
In this era, there are no students who can get into college who are not serious.
A bell rang, and Giovanni Cerrano put down his textbook. "Students, today's class ends here. If you want to continue to understand the structure of internal combustion engines, you can come to me privately. In the next class, we will explain the working principle of internal combustion engines.
.”
As Giovanni Cerano finished speaking, the classroom immediately became lively, calling for friends and exchanging learning experiences. Some were anxious and walked quickly. Of course, some people immediately came forward to ask Giovanni Cerano if he was in class.
After understanding the content, the classroom immediately became full of energy.
After explaining the problem to the students, Giovanni Cerrano was finally able to clear his mind and have time to think about the internal combustion engine he was studying.
That's right, Giovanni Cerrano is not only a university professor, but also a senior researcher. What he studies is the internal combustion engine that he talked about in class.
Since Otto invented the internal combustion engine in 1978, Giovanni Cerrano has been following up on internal combustion engine research. He believes that this new machine, which is smaller and more powerful than the steam engine, can become the core of power in the new era. For this reason, he
He cleaned up his warehouse and began research on internal combustion engines. To this end, he also purchased an Otto internal combustion engine for disassembly and research.
After so many years of research, Giovanni Cerano successfully built a 2.15-horsepower gasoline internal combustion engine. After building this internal combustion engine, Giovanni Cerano's pockets were already empty. Subsequent experiments on its reliability,
It is also intermittent. In addition to attending classes, Giovanni Cerrano's more important task now is to find financial sponsors so that he can continue to conduct experiments.
So after finishing his lecture, Giovanni Cerrano thought about where to find funding.
"Professor Cerano."
A voice interrupted his thoughts.
Giovanni Cerrano looked up and saw a colleague calling him.
"What's the matter?"
"The principal is waiting for you in the office. I have something to ask you."
Cerano was a little surprised by the words brought by his colleagues. Maybe the principal had something important to do.
Cerano, who did not dare to neglect, immediately rushed to the principal's office.
President Brioschi is a firm practitioner of technology changing society, so at Politecnico di Milano, he has always been committed to allowing teachers and students to dare to think and do in science and technology.
Today, Brioschi never expected that someone from the royal family would come to his door. Well, he was an attendant and not a member of the royal family, but the person behind it made Brioschi have to treat it carefully.
.Because behind them is His Majesty King Carlo, which is enough for him to pay attention to.
"Two of you, please taste our university's coffee. You must know that this is the most praised thing in our school."
Brioschi personally handed the coffee to the two waiting people and made a humorous joke to himself.
Faced with the enthusiasm of the principal, how could the two attendants really accept it? Among other things, the principal Brioschi was well-known in the educational field, not only in Italy, but also in Europe.
Facing the coffee handed to him personally, the two attendants quickly stood up and took it.
"Your Excellency, President, you are welcome. Under your leadership, Politecnico di Milano is destined to become a top school in Italy."
The chat between the host and the guest did not last long. After taking two sips of coffee, there was a knock on the door.
"Professor Cerano must be here."
After Principal Brioschi said this with a smile, he immediately said angrily, "Please come in."
"Principal, you are looking for me."
Before entering the door, Cerano started asking, but when he came in, he saw two people inside, looking inquiring.
"Let me introduce you. This is Professor Cerano from our school. He is also the most outstanding internal combustion engine expert in our university. At least as far as I know, there is no one better than him."
Principal Brioschi introduced Cerano as if he were selling goods, which made the professor a little embarrassed.
Then the principal introduced the guests. "These two are from Rome and are employees of the royal family. They want to talk to you about something."
"Hello, Professor Cerano."
"Hello."
After seeing greetings from both sides, Principal Brioschi continued. "Okay, you have all met. Now the place is reserved for you, you can talk."
After saying that, Principal Brioschi left calmly and carefully closed the door before leaving.
For a time, the lively people left and the scene became dull.
After all, it was with purpose that the two royal attendants spoke first and introduced themselves. "Hello, Professor Cerano, my name is Kadel, and my colleague's name is Mendy. We are here mainly because we heard about Your Excellency.
He is the most outstanding internal combustion engine expert in Italy, so I hope to get to know him."
The words of the guest made Cerano interested. "Do you two want to know about the internal combustion engine?"
The two attendants looked at each other and replied, "Yes."
"Then you need to know what kind of internal combustion engine. Currently, there are two main types of internal combustion engines on the market: gas and gasoline. They are divided into three types: large, medium and small according to size and power. In addition, they can be further subdivided according to actual uses."
Facing Cerano's words, the two attendants glanced at each other and continued, "Then, can you explain something to us?"
"No problem..."
As Cerano spoke, the two attendants felt a pang of regret, because the professional vocabulary spoken from this mouth made the internal combustion engine knowledge they had previously learned completely useless, because this person's explanation was very detailed, which made the two
People can only feel like they are back in school, and they are still the poor students.
"Professor Cerano, okay, what you said is very exciting, and we admire it very much."
After being tortured for an hour, seeing that Professor Cerrano felt like he could continue talking for another day, the two attendants immediately raised their hands and surrendered.
Cerano, who was interrupted, saw the tortured expressions on their faces and immediately apologized. "I'm sorry, I was talking about sex and didn't notice."
"It doesn't matter. The main reason we came here this time is to extend an invitation to you and request you to become a member of the Italian National Power Laboratory."
Faced with this sudden invitation, Cerano was stunned.
"Excuse me, where is the National Power Laboratory you are talking about?"
Don't blame Cerano for being too straightforward, because a university professor like him knows everything about the various laboratories he comes to, let alone the motivation for his own research. And what the two said
He had never heard of this National Power Laboratory before.
"Sorry, we forgot to mention it before. This National Power Laboratory is still under preparation, and you are the first batch of professionals we are looking for."
The guard's explanation did not make Cerano appear happy, because he did not understand the specific conditions of this laboratory, so he could not be said to be very happy.
Seeing that Cerano was a little indifferent, the guard named Cardel decided to give him an intuitive image. "Marino Electrical Laboratory, you should know about it."
"I know that."
How could Cerano not know about this well-known laboratory in the scientific research community? Its wealth has made many people who are worried about funding look envious.
"In the future, the scale and funding of the National Power Laboratory will not be less than that of the Electric Power Laboratory."
Kader's words made Cerano's eyes immediately light up. "No problem, I can work for the National Power Laboratory. This is my lifelong honor."
Who says people engaged in scientific research are rigid? Isn't this very clever?
Cerano is not the first person to bow to salary and funding. Before him, many scholar-level masters who studied internal combustion engines bowed to money's ability, and there is no shortage of famous figures.
This also confirms the wise saying, money can make the world go round.
And if you spend money quickly, you will naturally earn it quickly. Carlo knows this best.
