Chapter 66 Chapter 65: Star Falls

Su Fengqi's complexion was pale, skinny, with sunken cheeks, thin silver hair, and emaciated; but his expression was serene, his eyes were still shining, and his eyes were still deep.Now, covered with a thin towel, he lay silently on the hospital bed, staring at the vast night sky.A few days ago, he finally couldn't get up and eat, and he couldn't even sit in a wheelchair. He relied on nasal feeding for nutrition and often had to infuse oxygen.He asked to be moved to a ward with a terrace, where special wheels were installed at the foot of the bed.Every night, as long as it doesn't rain, he asks the nurse to open the wide door, push the hospital bed to the balcony, and look up at the sky for several hours, without expression and without saying a word...

"How is it?" Lu Ning asked the dean. "According to Vice Minister Lu's instructions: try our best to meet the needs of the elderly and provide the best medical conditions." The director replied, "Change the ward, put on a wheel, send the best doctor, use the most expensive medicine, push him every night Go out on the terrace for some fresh air..." "A breath of fresh air?" "Yes." Lu Ning shook his head. "Oh," the dean was surprised, "Isn't that what you mean?" "He's looking at the stars, especially Leo."

"Leo?" The dean was puzzled. "At times like this, what the old man needs is solitude and quietness, so be careful not to disturb him." "yes." "Old Su is well-known both at home and abroad, with peaches and plums all over the world, and made contributions to the war of resistance. Especially in 1949, he insisted on staying on the mainland. The country attaches great importance to and cherishes this." Lu Ning instructed, "Therefore, no matter what his condition is, , what is the prognosis, anyway, your task is, first, to prolong his life as much as possible; second, during his life, to improve the quality of life as much as possible.”

"yes!" There is indeed an "enemy situation" in the "inside of the pharmaceutical college" and "inside the biological preparation room", and a secret agent is hidden.In the enemy agency, his code name is "Satan's Rat"; while in Building L, he is the experimental technician of the vaccine team.In the laboratory, he is familiar with the business, works diligently, and is usually unsmiling, which wins the favor of Director Ye and his colleagues.Pharmacy is just a school, basically defenseless.This provides great convenience to the "Satan Rat".Calmly, he drew a floor plan of the ground and underground parts of Building L and the surrounding area, marked the installations, equipment and functions of all the rooms, and copied all the "possibly usable" keys in the building...

Even Ye Yuhan herself didn't realize what "strategic significance" the K-enzyme she discovered and used would have.But the "SLR Foundation", which is far away across the ocean, has realized this from "Probe", not to mention that they have long understood the skills of female scholars.An invisible black hand stretched out again, toward New China.But the "Satan Rat" is too valuable to be exposed.How to do it?This is where the cornered Bromi comes in handy. When Bu Luomi worked under Zhang Zongchang in his early years, not only his hands were stained with the blood of the Communists, but he also captured and killed many Northern Expeditionists and Kuomintang members; End up like that!He has nowhere to go, so he lurks in the crowded and crowded Shanghai. As a librarian, he is in constant fear, knowing that catastrophe will strike one day.But his name and whereabouts have always been held by an agency called the "Strategic Service Office" and another agency called "FBI" on the other side of the ocean.Now they're hooking up with him.They said: Well, if we get the "K enzyme", we will let go of the past, no longer care about what you did to the Americans in World War II, and help you escape from mainland China and pay you a lot of money !

The "Strategic Service Office" also sent a sum of "activity funds" to Bromi, including "Tianqin" and forty small diamonds. Lu Ning told Su Fengqi: "The so-called 'Office of Strategic Services' is the predecessor of the Central Intelligence Agency; and the so-called 'FBI' is the abbreviation of 'Federal Bureau of Investigation'." Bromi connected with the "Satan Rat" according to the designated method, and started to act. Steal "K Enzyme" only at night.And the only person who often works overtime at night and becomes an obstacle to "action" is Director Ye.So the "Satan Rat" put poison in Director Ye's water cup, causing him to suddenly suffer from nervous gastroenteritis and was hospitalized in the affiliated hospital.In the middle of the night, a nurse said that acting principal Su probably just finished a meeting and went to the L building alone.Ye Yuhan felt strange, and told the nurse, "Watch carefully to see when Acting Principal Su will go back." But, strangely, there was no sign of Su Guanlan.Ye Yuhan was apprehensive, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, pulled out the needle, and walked out of the hospital quietly.She is so familiar with everything in Building L that she can easily navigate the road with her eyes closed.There was no sign of Su Guanlan along the way, but she found that the laboratory was brightly lit from a distance. She was shocked and instinctively sensed some kind of danger.She went upstairs without a sound, and immediately understood what had happened.She wanted to call someone, but was afraid that she would not have enough time.So she found a bottle of nitric acid...

Hearing about the incident in Building L, especially hearing that Hanzi was seriously injured, Su Fengqi fell ill all of a sudden, and never stood up again.The rescue of Ye Yuhan lasted for several months, and she was pulled back from the brink of death more than a dozen times.Two critically ill patients suddenly appeared at home, causing Su Guanlan to be overwhelmed; Suzanne came from Kunming to help her brother after hearing the news.Su Fengqi lay on the hospital bed and said to her son: "Yuhan gave her life to save you, and she gave you a second life." "Yes." Su Guanlan nodded.

"Do you know what 'sacrificing your life' is?" Old and young, the older the younger, the father really spoke like a child... Su Guanlan thought about it, and replied, "I don't hesitate to trade her death for my life." "How could you trade her death for your life?" The old man was panting every time he said a word, "Be more specific." At that time, Ye Yuhan threw herself on Su Guanlan.She is short in stature, and her right shoulder blade fits close to Su Guanlan's left chest.The bullet pierced through her right shoulder blade from behind, and even embedded in the coat and shirt on Su Guanlan's chest.Field investigation confirmed that if Ye Yuhan's body wasn't in the way, that sinful bullet would have shot into or pierced Su Guanlan's heart!

After more than half a year, Ye Yuhan could barely get out of bed, but the old man's illness became more serious.The hospital issued a critical illness notice.This evening, Lu Ning invited Ye Yuhan and Su Guanlan to visit together.The electric light overflowed from the crack of the door a few inches wide, and Lu Ning saw several people standing in the ward at a glance. He hurriedly backed away and asked who they were.The head nurse said, "Didn't you see clearly? It was Commissar Mao who accompanied the mayor and secretary of the municipal party committee!" "Who else has been here these two days?"

"The people from Beijing the day before yesterday were from the National Science and Technology Commission and the Academy of Sciences; yesterday from Peking University, Xuhui Taiwan, and Qingdao Taiwan." The head nurse said while thinking, "This morning, Director Li from Zijinshan accompanied me on a special trip from Kunming. Master Pan from Phoenix Mountain..." Lu Ning was silent.After Political Commissar Mao accompanied the mayor and secretary of the municipal party committee to leave, he, Su Guanlan and Ye Yuhan came to Su Fengqi's hospital bed.The dean explained that the old professor's vitality was close to exhaustion, but his mind was still clear and his hearing was fine; we could have some simple communication with him, but don't let him talk too much, let alone make him excited, and so on.

Therefore, Su Guanlan and Ye Yuhan basically did not speak, and the military representative served as the "keynote speaker".Lu Ning leaned close to the old man's ear and talked eloquently: Although the country is very poor now, with a lot of waste to do, and still fighting, it attaches great importance to the development of science and technology.On the basis of the former Academia Sinica and the Peking Research Institute, the Chinese Academy of Sciences was established in November 1949; on the basis of the former Astronomical Institute of the Academia Sinica, the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was established in May 1950 .Antiquities such as Jianyi, Guibiao, and clepsydra that originally belonged to the "Zitai" have been reinstalled, and the Armillary Sphere and the 60cm reflecting telescope that were also severely damaged by the Japanese have been included in the restoration plan. In the future, "Purple Terrace" will uniformly manage observatories and stations across the country, become the center of national astrophysics research, azimuth astronomy and practical astronomical observation, participate in the formulation of national astronomy development plans, be responsible for setting up astronomy departments in several universities, and build in Nanjing and other places Astronomical observation instrument research and development base; next to the Tanggu Tide Observation Station founded by Su Fengqi, the Tianjin Latitude Station is planned to be built... In addition, the Phoenix Mountain Observatory, which has devoted Su Fengqi's efforts and contributed to the victory of the war, is also preparing to be enriched and expanded, and the area will be expanded from tens of acres to hundreds of acres.The Xiangshan Observatory that Su Fengqi once dreamed of has also been included in the long-term plan, and it is larger in scale and of a higher standard. vision... "Ah, radio astronomy!" Su Fengqi had foreseen the application of radio in the field of astronomical observation when he was studying radio navigation technology in Phoenix Mountain.Now he was excited, and said in a trembling voice: "It has been around for ten years, right? But, the radio telescope and its antenna array are very large and cost a lot of money!" "Mr. Su, don't worry! For the revival of the motherland and the strength of the Chinese nation, we will spend a lot of money that should be spent, and we will never be stingy." Lu Ning's tone is full of confidence, "All the cutting-edge equipment owned by developed countries , we must have all the most advanced facilities in the world, and we will definitely have them.” "Okay, okay," Su Fengqi nodded vigorously, "It's a pity that I don't have many days to come, and I won't see that day..." "No! You are a master and a national treasure. Everyone is looking forward to you." Lu Ning wiped away the tears from the corners of the old man's eyes, "Treat your illness well, recover soon, come back and fight with us." The old professor smiled faintly, and turned his head to look at his son and Hanzi: "You two go out for a while. I, I want to talk to Mr. Lu Ning alone." Su Guanlan and Ye Yuhan looked at each other and walked out of the ward. Watching the two leave, Su Fengqi turned around with difficulty, took off the platinum diamond ring on the ring finger of his left hand with his right hand, and handed it tremblingly... "Ah, 'Elizabeth Gold Crown'!" Lu Ning took the dazzling diamond ring and held it in his palm, "Old Su, what do you mean by this?" "It has been with me for more than 30 years," the old man said intermittently, his voice was low, but his words were clear. "Now, I dedicate it to the country." Lu Ning is a veteran "political cadre", and his eloquence is undoubtedly very good; but now, his eyes are hot, and he can't speak for a long time.He held the "Elizabeth Golden Crown" and gently stroked the old man's bony hands. "There must be some value! Put it in Zijin Mountain or Phoenix Mountain, put it in a museum or a memorial room, it doesn't matter. It can prove to future generations, to the younger generation, the quality of the Chinese people, and prove that the Chinese can make a difference!" Su Fengqi was silent for a moment, "Also, Mr. Lu Ning, the two of them, Guanlan and Hanzi, how are you doing now?" "You saw it with your own eyes, isn't it wonderful? They came together, with me." "It seems, yes..." the old man thought. "Yes, they used to be 'colleagues'," Lu Ning emphasized, "but they are more than just 'colleagues' now, and more than that in the future." "yes?" "Definitely." Ye Yuhan's physique was already poor, but this time the gunshot wound took half of her life.According to Lu Ning's suggestion, the superior dismissed Su Guanlan as the "acting principal" for five years, and appointed another principal.From then on, Su Guanlan was able to concentrate on taking care of the wounded.During Ye Yuhan's seven months in hospital, Su Guanlan accompanied her day and night... "They are like a couple." Lu Ning concluded, "I think they will soon become a real couple." Su Fengqi pondered for a moment, then took a deep breath: "Mr. Lu Ning, thank you." "Everything happened naturally, I didn't do anything." "No, I understand your painstaking efforts and kindness." Lu Ning remained silent. The old man pondered for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject: "Yuhan is the best woman in the world, or one of the best women in the world. Mr. Lu Ning, do you agree with me?" "Of course," Lu Ning said without thinking, "I agree." Su Fengqi then asked: "When I was choosing a spouse for my son, I chose the best woman, or in other words, one of the best women in the world. Mr. Lu Ning, do you agree with me?" It was only then that Lu Ning discovered that the way of thinking, questions and answers were all classified into the category of mathematics and logic by the old professor.However, can spiritual phenomena, life and emotional problems be answered by mathematics and logic?He was thinking about what to say, when he suddenly noticed a strange sound in the old man's throat, his neck muscles seemed to be twitching, and his face turned blue... "Old Su, Elder Su," Lu Ning leaned closer to the old man's face, "what's the matter with you, are you feeling uncomfortable?" Su Fengqi was already unable to speak, but there was still a glimmer of light in his eyes, which was a look of searching and longing.At this time, what is he seeking and longing for?Lu Ning suddenly realized that he was waiting for an answer to the question just now.What kind of "problem" is that?By the way, when the old professor chose a mate for his son, did he choose "one of the best women in the world"? Lu Ning yelled into the old man's ear, "I agree, I agree!" Su Fengqi remained silent, her eyes still staring out of the window.Lu Ning looked along his line of sight, a meteor fell from the position of "Xuanyuan Eleven", and a golden arc was drawn in the night sky... Looking at the old man again, his arms were drooping, his face was rigid, and the luster of his eyes dimmed rapidly.Lu Ning was taken aback, jumped up and shouted: "Come on! Professor Su Fengqi..."
