1 Nobel

1On September 3, 864, a series of deafening noises suddenly broke out in the quiet suburbs of Stockholm, and smoke billowed into the sky and flames soared into the sky. In just a few minutes, a tragic accident happened.

When the frightened people rushed to the scene of the accident, they saw that a factory that once stood here had disappeared, and the ruthless fire swallowed everything. Next to the stove stood a young man in his thirties. The sudden tragedy and excessive stimulation made him lose color and tremble all over-the young man who survived was Nobel, a great chemist who never died later.

Nobel watched helplessly as the nitroglycerin explosive experimental factory he created was reduced to ashes. People found five bodies from the ruins, one of which was his lively and lovely little brother who was studying in college, and the other four were his close assistants who lived with him day and night. Five charred bodies are terrible.

When Nobel's mother learned of the tragic death of her youngest son, she was heartbroken. The old father suffered from cerebral hemorrhage due to too much stimulation, and he was paralyzed from then on. However, in the face of failure and great pain, Nobel did not waver.

After the tragedy, the police immediately blocked the scene of the accident and prohibited Nobel from returning to work. People avoid him, and no one is willing to rent land for him to carry out such a dangerous experiment.

This series of setbacks did not make Nobel back down. A few days later, a huge barge appeared on Lake Malaren, far away from the city. There is no cargo on the barge, but it is full of all kinds of equipment. A young man was absorbed in a mysterious experiment. He was driven away by local residents after the big bang.

Fearless courage often makes death flinch. In the frightening experiment, Nobel did not die with his barge in the belly of a fish, but invented the detonator after many experiments. The invention of detonator is a major breakthrough in explosion science. Then, he established explosive companies in Hamburg, Germany and other places.

For a time, the explosives produced by Nobel became a hot commodity, and a steady stream of orders poured in from all over the world, and Nobel's wealth increased day by day. However, the successful Nobel did not get rid of setbacks.

The unfortunate news came one after another: in San Francisco, the train carrying explosives exploded due to vibration, and the train was blown apart; A famous factory in Germany exploded when carrying nitroglycerin, and the whole factory and nearby houses were in ruins.

In Panama, a ship full of nitroglycerin exploded while sailing in the Atlantic Ocean, and the whole ship was buried in the sea. ...

In the face of successive disasters and difficulties, Nobel was not intimidated, crushed or depressed. His persistence and perseverance made him choose the goal without hesitation and persevere.

On the way to struggle, he has become accustomed to getting along with death day and night. Nobel trampled on setbacks and achieved great success. He was granted 355 patents in his life. He founded the Nobel Prize for Science with his huge wealth, which was regarded as the supreme honor by the scientific community.

3. Write a masterpiece (frustration can temper people's will)

Pu Songling was born in Shandong in the early Qing Dynasty. Due to the prevalence of bribery and fraud in the examination hall at that time, he failed in all four exams. But he is not pessimistic and disappointed. He is determined to write a "book of loneliness and anger". He carved a pair of couplets on the copper ruler that pressed the paper:

Where there is a will, there is a way. If we cross the rubicon, 120 Qin Guan will belong to Chu after all. Hard-working people are rewarded by heaven, and they have tasted courage. More than 3,000 armour can swallow Wu. Pu Songling took this as a warning and encouragement, and finally wrote a literary masterpiece-Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio.
