Chapter 454： French version of "Nightingale"

Louis Pasteur's self-blame made Jerome Bonaparte realize that the scientific researcher in front of him paid more attention to ethics than he thought. If Sder's patriotic enthusiasm bound it, Louis Pasteur would not follow his instigation to conduct human experiments on death row prisoners.

Even though Louis Pasteur had done far more in the field of typhoid and cholera than he had done with the politically disenfranchised death row prisoners, he felt so guilty for what he had done, so he preferred to remain in obscurity , and do not want to use materials stained with blood donation from death row prisoners to win honor for themselves!

"Mr Pasteur, your respect for life is worth learning from everyone!" Jerome Bonaparte said solemnly: "However, in my opinion, you are still too persistent! Those death row prisoners are already Deprived of political rights... well! Let's call them people, their lives are destined to disappear on the gallows! You gave them a chance to atone for their sins, so that they can make a small contribution to France!"

"Your Majesty, the law can only judge their physical death, and only He can decide whether they really deserve to die!" Louis Pasteur devoutly pleaded with Jerome Bonaparte: "Everything I do is I am depriving him of his right to physical death. I am a sinner who walks the world with sin.

Your Majesty, please promise me this little request! "

Seeing that Louis Pasteur was about to kneel to himself, Jerome Bonaparte sighed deeply, and he chose to respect Louis Pasteur's request.

"Okay! I agree to your request! The government will not specifically commend you, and all your results will not be published for the time being, but only as internal references!" Jerome Bonaparte to Louis Bass De said: "However, you and your team will receive a generous bonus, which will be divided into two distributions, one is the scientific research bonus issued by the government, and the other is the scientific progress bonus issued by the North Industries Corporation! "

"No... Your Majesty, you really don't need to give me so much money! Everything I do is not for myself!" Louis Pasteur subconsciously wanted to refuse.

"You don't need the bonus, but your team does!" Jerome Bonaparte pointed to the staff in the laboratory and said, "Why did they follow you to participate in this experiment, not for the honor and bonus ( Jerome Bonaparte suddenly realized that it was a bit vulgar to say so, and immediately dismissed it) Of course, I do not mean to deny your love for France, but love for France and the honor and prize it deserves are not contradictory!

Who said that a scientific researcher should be willing to enjoy the hardships! In my opinion, scientific research workers are the people who should enjoy the most. If a country does not pay attention to its scientific researchers, then the level of science and technology in this country will never achieve real progress.

The only productivity of science and technology! Comrade... ugh! My compatriots, our goal is to make the benefits of science available to all French! Let the light of science and technology go to thousands of households, and the achievements of science and technology should not become a tool for a few people to monopolize! I hope you can remember one thing, the ultimate purpose of all the scientific and technological research we do is to serve the public! The purpose of scientific research is to understand the world and change the world! "

Jérôme Bonaparte's impromptu speech was like a spirit infusion stick that slammed into the spiritual world of everyone in the laboratory. For a long time, many scientific researchers did not know what they were working for. Scientific research is used as a means of survival for oneself, turning papers into capital for their own promotion. A few talents like Louis Pasteur equate scientific research work with France, and use patriotic enthusiasm as the driving force for scientific research work.

And now, under the impromptu speech of Jerome Bonaparte, they have found the purpose and direction of their scientific research, and they are no longer confused.

Know the world and change the world! What a noble word!

Just when everyone in the laboratory was shocked by what Jerome Bonaparte said, Jerome Bonaparte said again: "Mr. Louis Pasteur, do you still want to refuse? "

After regaining his senses, Louis Pasteur glanced at the colleagues around him. This was the first time in his life that he felt that he was high-spirited. In fact, it was a kind of hypocrisy that was only satisfied with his own heart. He smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, On behalf of the entire laboratory staff, I thank you for your generosity!"

"This is not charity!" Jerome Bonaparte corrected: "This is the respect of the state for scientific researchers like you!"

Jerome Bonaparte, whose lips were slightly dry, paused and swallowed, then said: "And your laboratory will get more input (Louis Pasteur wants to say something, Jerome . Bonaparte raised his hand to stop)...I understand your desire to save money for the country, but scientific research is like this, the more you invest, the more you will get back, I expect you to create more benefits in the laboratory The fruits of the world!"

"I will definitely live up to your expectations of me, Your Majesty!" Louis Pasteur, who felt that he had a lofty mission on his shoulders, said with high morale: "Now, I implore Your Majesty to send a group of professional military doctors, and I and My colleagues will teach them specific methods of combating cholera!"

"I will do it as soon as I return to the Tuileries Palace!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded and replied to Louis Pasteur.

Immediately, Jerome Bonaparte asked Louis Pasteur if he would let a group of female nurses participate.

"No...I don't need it!" Louis Pasteur hesitated: "I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for girls to go in the past..."

"But girls are more delicate than men in taking care of people!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to Louis Pasteur: "There is no distinction between men and women on the battlefield!"

"Your Majesty, are you going to send some female nurses to the battlefield?" Louis Pasteur couldn't help but ask. From his words, Jerome Bonaparte could hear some resistance.

"Mr. Louis Pasteur, this is a symbol between nations! We must mobilize manpower and material resources to complete the expedition to the Russian Empire and wash away our shame!" Jerome Bonaparte spoke loudly He said to Louis Pasteur: "In my eyes, female citizens are the same as male citizens, and they all have the obligation to be loyal to the country! Does it mean that in your concept, women cannot go to war like men. To fight for France?"

"Okay!" Jerome Bonaparte responded ashamed to Louis Pasteur: "I'm sorry for my narrow-mindedness! Please send a group of military doctors and nurses as soon as possible. It's not an easy task!"

"Yeah!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded and left the laboratory under the guidance of the staff.

Jérôme Bonaparte, who came out of the laboratory, issued another order to Basilio, asking him to hang the slogan "The purpose of scientific research is to understand and change the world" at every intersection in the park. , used to remind scientific researchers in the park.

Basilio once again felt his sincere admiration for the thought of Jerome Bonaparte. Afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte was assured that the slogan would be fully affixed to every location in the park.

After visiting the Northern Industrial Park, Jérôme Bonaparte, accompanied by Basilio, got into the carriage to the Tuileries Palace.

At this time, night fell, and everything around became dark and quiet. Only the stars and the clear moonlight dotted the sky, igniting the windmill and carriage, and guiding the way back to the Tuileries Palace.

...

When Jerome Bonaparte returned to the Tuileries Palace, he immediately prepared to deal with what Louis Pasteur explained.

Jérôme Bonaparte, who had just reached the entrance of the stairs, heard the sound of the wheels of the Tuileries Palace rolling, and he stopped and turned his head to look behind him.

After a while, two beautiful figures appeared at the gate of the Tuileries Palace. It was the imperial queen Augusta and the secretary of the secret queen, Virnia (the vast majority of Virnia's work currently is to follow the queen).

One of them was wearing a black dress with velvet hair accessories, the other was wearing a white dress, arm in arm like a pair of delicate and gorgeous roses.

Jerome Bonaparte looked at them absently.

"Your Majesty!" It wasn't until Augusta called out that Jerome Bonaparte called the material world.

"Where did you guys come from?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Augusta and Vernia with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I will go to the orphanage with the Queen! Some of the children there are really sensible and cute! What they have been through is so pitiful..." Virnia, like a carefree little yellow warbler, chirped to Jerome. M. Bonaparte recounts their trip today.

Virnia and Augusta went first to Charity Hospital, then to Welfare Hospital to see children, and finally formed a fundraiser at Mathilde's home.

More importantly, reporters participated in the whole process. It is conceivable that a virtuous queen and an equally sympathetic mistress (the people of Paris have acquiesced that Vernia is the emperor's mistress) can add a lot to the regime of the Second Empire. point.

Jerome Bonaparte nodded after hearing the introduction of Vernia, and then looked at Vernia subconsciously.

It has to be said that Virnia, who returned from Charity Hospital, seemed to exude an aura similar to that of a medical worker.

From there, Jerome suddenly realized that he could create a French version of "Nightingale", and he couldn't wait to ask: "Virnia, what do you think of the position of nurse?"
