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:
"Saving one's life, 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 posted a little too hastily."
Chen Shengshen raised his eyebrows:
"A little anxious?"
"yes."
Xiao Yang changed into a more comfortable sitting position on the stone chair and continued:
"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 make 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 public... No, it should be said to be arrogant."
"There are only three possibilities for this happening..."
Said.
Xiao Yang first raised a finger:
"First, everyone in the country has gone crazy. Everyone has forgotten the Tao and is possessed. They can't 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 China are famous for their strategic vision, and there is a chance that their heads will all go crazy... 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 disclose the same results, and the country made this move in order to compete."
This time.
Chen Shengshen thought for a little longer:
"Xiao Yang, the probability of this possibility is much greater 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 achieves 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 a certain team will publish a journal in a certain period of time, which is also a typical prediction method in the industry."
"But unfortunately, I have never heard anything like this before 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..."
Talk about this.
Xiao Yang couldn't help but take a deep breath and said solemnly:
"Some things have happened in China, so much so that I am extremely eager to use this paper to gather overseas students. If it is too late, something may happen."
Xiao Yang finished speaking.
Opposite him, Chen Shengshen and Li Jingjun couldn't help but look at each other.
Assembly number...
This article in the journal "Physical Review Letters" is not that thick, but there is such a hidden meaning behind it?
After a while.
Chen Shengshen suddenly thought of something, and quickly looked around a few more times. After making sure that no one was around, he 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's not a big secret that the rabbits are working on the atomic bomb, even the key personnel working on the atomic bomb are doing the same.
Zhao Zhongyao, Wang Ganchang, and Lu Guangda 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 and thought for a while, then said:
"To be honest, it is possible, but the probability is also not high."
"Although the atomic bomb has strong deterrence, 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 high price. If it were just the atomic bomb... I really think it would still be a little tasteless."
Chen Shengshen remained silent.
The [price] that 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 obstruction process, Haidian spent a lot of money on public opinion, describing the domestic conditions and prospects as extremely bad - and the pens of these news were paid.
In addition, in order to retain some top talents, Haidian also offered very generous prices, which was not just a verbal obstruction.
So let me put it bluntly.
The "majority" of international students who are truly determined to serve their 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, there will still be no significant impact on the market.
unless.......
Think of this.
Swish——
Chen Shengshen, Li Jingjun and Xiao Yang all thought of a possibility at the same time, and they 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 China?"
Return home.
I heard these two words coming out of Xiao Yang's mouth.
The atmosphere at the scene was once again visibly condensed.

Today's paper.
Now that the paper has been published, it is 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 Shengshen, what do you think?"
"..."
Chen Shengshen tapped his slender index finger on the table a few times, and finally took a deep breath:
"Jingjun, Xiaoyang, I'm going back."
When Li Jingjun heard this, a look of astonishment suddenly appeared on his face.
He had known Chen Shengshen for nearly twenty years, and he knew his old friend's character very well - unlike his outstanding talent in mathematics, Chen Shengshen had always had difficulty making choices in life.
He often hesitates even for 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, Chen Shengshen actually expressed his stance so early. I don’t want 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 cycle has passed."
"Everything is good here across the sea, with advanced technology, modern rhythm, tall and prosperous buildings, but... this is not our home after all."
As he spoke, Chen Shengshen couldn't help but sigh:
"Ten years ago, when overseas students returned to China, 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 to China, 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 anymore."
"Actually, it's good to go back 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.
Chen 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 therefore stay across the sea, but the number is really not that large.
According to official statistics from the Immigration Bureau across the sea.
Scholars who studied abroad in Haidong from 1930 to 1945 took an average of 11.3 years to become naturalized. As of 1960, there were only 17 international students who had naturalized in Haitong within three years after graduation.
Therefore, 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 strong and powerful in the future, many people will try their best to reach the other side of the sea.
Chen Shengshen’s experience is typical of the former:
His background as a graduate in logistics gave him deep political concerns for a long time, 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 ship for too long, so he finally decided to stay on the other side of the sea.
The story that follows is the so-called weight stacking. If things hadn't happened like today, Chen Shengshen would have stayed across the sea in more than a month.
As for the Lao Hua he mentioned... he was referring to Hua Luogeng.
Hua Luogeng 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 win. 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 were no longer in contact with each other - but the relationship between Chen Shengshen and Qiu Chengtong was not very good...
Then Chen Shengshen looked at Li Jingjun and asked:
"Jingjun, what about you?"
"me?"
Li Jingjun stretched out after hearing this and looked at the sky in the distance with a long look:
"I am also planning to go 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 are aware of Li Jingjun's situation and have co-signed a handwritten letter to him, under such circumstances, he naturally has no reason not to return to his homeland.
Moreover, Li Jingjun's relatives and friends are all in China. As far as Chen Shengshen knows, his friend is not particularly adapted to the living habits and food types across the sea.
Therefore, Li Jingjun's answer was not beyond Chen Shengshen's expectations. It was the best guess.
Immediately afterwards.
Li Jingjun and Chen Shengshen turned their heads at the same time and locked their gazes on... Xiao Yang.
"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.
Although 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 1957 to the summer of 1962, Yang Wuzhi reunited with Xiao Yang three times in Geneva, during which he also repeatedly mentioned the hope that Yang Zhenning could serve the motherland.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Unfortunately, Xiao Yang’s mother, Luo Menghua, did not agree with her son’s return to China every time. When Yang Wuzhi introduced that airplanes can be manufactured in China, he also said something
——[Don’t talk about this. I got up in the dark to buy tofu and stood in line for three hours, but I could only buy two pieces that were not neat. What’s the good thing?].
So Xiao Yang's journey back to China was cut short.
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.
In the seventh year after Xiao Yang's naturalization, he took the initiative to return to China and make contributions. However, this application was persuaded by the writer who chatted with Xu Yun.
Probably only Xiao Yang himself understands the inner journey...
Unfortunately, in the eyes of later generations, Xiao Yang...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 will 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 finally 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 19 years.
Sign on.
It's just that every time the weight from the other side of the sea was heavier than the mainland, 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.
A little less than half a minute later.
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..."
