Chapter 448 Paper published! Nuclear fusion comes out! The whole world was shocked! "Sun King" Bruce!
The top floor of the Bruce Building.
Li Qiwei put down the pen in his hand, stood up, and walked to the window.
Looking at the bustling world below, his eyes were ethereal and deep.
And his heart has already flown to the other side of the ocean.
Li Qiwei knew very well that as soon as this paper came out, nuclear fusion would become a secret research content of all countries.
Once this terrifying theory that can create the sun is implemented into technology, it will be simply unimaginable.
If it could be used as a weapon, it would be a great weapon to suppress the world.
The European countries that had just experienced World War I probably knew the importance of weapons better than anyone else.
But Li Qiwei was not worried about his safety.
In the current era, the difficulty of realizing weapons-grade nuclear fusion is countless times greater than its power.
The high temperature conditions of tens of millions of degrees that Li Qiwei mentioned in his paper are enough to deter any country.
Before the advent of the atomic bomb, this was a condition that was impossible for humans to create.
Therefore, nuclear fusion is destined to be a beautiful dream.
Beautiful but unreal.
For such a dream, Professor Bruce, the world's number one scientist, would be arrested.
Then Li Qiwei can only turn completely dark and transform into the devil who destroys the world.
In terms of destructive power, something is countless times more terrifying than an atomic bomb, and it is precisely positioned.
Once upon a time, Li Qiwei was prepared to use nuclear fusion as a bait to deceive Western countries.
Let the great powers spend huge amounts of manpower and material resources to plunge into this bottomless pit.
And he himself secretly developed a nuclear fission atomic bomb.
However, when he firmly believed that destiny was in China, his state of mind broke through.
This kind of thinking has faded a lot.
Because he has greater ambitions and greater courage.
The atomic bomb and the rise of China were only part of his plan.
He has invincible faith and absolute self-confidence.
Moreover, Western countries are not fools.
With so many top scientists, they will naturally conduct a detailed evaluation of nuclear fusion.
If Eddington had published the paper, the impact might have been much smaller.
The name Bruce Lee will make this nuclear fusion paper shock the past and present.
Such is Ridgway’s influence today.
Not to mention publishing a paper, even his casual words will cause countless disturbances.
If he said something: kelp can entangle submarines.
I believe that countries such as Britain and France will conduct experiments secretly.
Li Qiwei's status is destined, and every move he makes unintentionally will have a profound impact on the world.
Even if there is no deception subjectively, objectively it is automatic deception.
A few years later, various countries collectively accused Li Qiwei.
"Professor Bruce, given your extremely noble status, why would you do such a despicable thing?"
"You deceive us into engaging in nuclear fusion, but you are researching atomic bombs for China."
Li Qiwei: I didn’t fool you, you have to study it yourself.
Countries: It’s all your fault for publishing that paper. Nuclear fusion is simply not feasible.
Ridgway: Oh? Then take a look, what is this?
boom!
In the very distance, a mushroom cloud rising beyond the atomic bomb rose.
Countries: @#￥%……%……
At this moment, Li Qiwei gently stretched out his right hand.
The paper on nuclear fusion was held in his hands.
Suddenly, the paper slowly burned and turned into a miniature sun, emitting terrifying heat and causing ripples in space.
In his eyes, endless flames were beating and flashing.
"Let this sun shine on my invincible path, Li Qiwei."
boom!
All the employees in the Bruce Building felt their hearts tremble.
"Oh God! Why do I suddenly feel so hot!"
"It's like a sun appears above my head."
"God, it's not the end of the world."
With the comfort of the managers, everyone finally stabilized their emotions.
And soon, they knew why they felt this way.
——
Washington, DC, USA.
The headquarters of the journal Science is located here.
In Li Qiwei's previous life, "Nature" and "Science" were the two sacred journals in the field of natural science.
Countless scientific researchers have spent sleepless nights and researched day and night, but they don't even dare to hope to publish papers in these two major journals.
Because that's too hard.
Especially for the official publication, it is even more difficult to reach the sky.
In China, if anyone can publish a paper in the official journals of Nature and Science, he will receive countless honors and funds.
For this reason, many people even hesitate to cheat.
That's right, I'm talking about Korean researchers.
The rewards are simply too tempting.
Even in this era, the reputation of "Science" is not weak at all.
It was originally invested and founded by Edison in 1880. Later, it changed hands several times and became the official publication of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
The American Association for the Advancement of Science, similar to the Chinese Science Society, is the largest private science group in the United States.
Scientists such as Millikan and Hale are almost all members.
Therefore, the "Science" journal has no worries about sales and popularity.
In real history, Morgan's fruit fly genetics, Hubble's spiral galaxies and other results were published in this journal.
Therefore, it is now the most authoritative scientific journal in the United States, alongside the British "Nature".
Like Nature, Science is a weekly magazine.
It also publishes only the best original research papers, as well as high-end content such as reviews analyzing current research.
At this moment, the six-story building of the "Science" journal headquarters is a bustling scene.
Many editors come and go, discussing the latest submissions.
Like "Nature", "Science" has also benefited from the era of scientific explosion.
In addition, following the example of Nature and adapting to the development of the times, several professional sub-journals have been expanded.
But its official publication still retains its transcendent status.
It is not the most top-notch paper, even if there is a vacancy, it is impossible to publish it.
But the requirements for sub-journals are much lower.
Therefore, a large number of papers are received here every day.
The current editor-in-chief, Carter, is sitting in the office on the sixth floor, drinking coffee and enjoying the new start of the day.
He is 60 years old this year and has been in charge of "Science" for more than 20 years.
But he himself is a psychologist.
But this does not hinder his profound influence in the American scientific community.
Because as a psychologist, he is a bit too awesome in the United States.
Cattell was the world's first professor of psychology and founded the first psychology laboratory in the United States.
He founded the American Psychological Association and was the first psychology fellow of the National Academy of Sciences.
All these honors are due to his outstanding academic contributions to psychology.
Cattell was a pioneer in applied psychology in the United States.
He was the first psychologist to introduce statistical quantification into psychology.
At the same time, he was also the first person in the world to break away from the scope of philosophy and explain psychology purely from a scientific perspective.
You know, this is not easy in this day and age.
Cattell once said: "If psychology is not based on experiment and measurement, it will never be as accurate as natural science."
Therefore, he pioneered the concept of "psychological testing".
He compiled fifty test forms in his laboratory.
Measurements include: muscle strength, movement speed, pain sensitivity, audio and visual acuity, weight discrimination, memory, etc.
Through these precise tests, statistical methods are used to systematically describe a person's psychological state and study differences between individuals.
This is what Cattell achieved in psychology.
He has a pilgrim-like admiration for science.
Therefore, he looked down upon psychologists like Freud.
I believe that the psychoanalytic method mentioned in the book "The Interpretation of Dreams" is complete nonsense and has no scientific basis.
He even said publicly:
"No clinical psychologist would treat his patients based on Freudian psychoanalysis."
However, Cartel's opposition did not affect Floyd's success at all.
The establishment of the International Psychoanalytic Society in 1919 marked the final formation of the psychoanalytic school pioneered by the other party.
Just as Carter was recalling the past, suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door.
He quickly came to his senses.
"Please come in."
Deputy Editor Dennis looked excited, holding a paper in his hand. He quickly walked up to Cattell and said excitedly:
"Editor-in-Chief, Professor Bruce has submitted an article to Science."
Cartel didn't react for a moment.
Just submit the article. Is it worth making a fuss about as an associate editor?
After all, the journal "Science" is also the most powerful journal after "Nature".
It’s surprising that no one contributed.
Therefore, he did not respond immediately.
Dennis saw that his old boss's expression was as usual, and he quickly understood.
He said loudly and word by word:
"Professor Cattell, Professor Bruce Lee submitted the article!"
Wow!
Cartel was startled.
"Who?"
"Is it the Professor Bruce who just chaired the astronomy debate?"
Dennis nodded quickly.
"Yes."
"Professor Bruce's astronomy paper has finally been published."
"If you look at this paper, it is simply shocking."
As a Ph.D. in physics, Dennis is only a little-known figure in the physics community.
But his many years of editing experience have given him extremely keen insight.
The concept of nuclear fusion proposed in this paper made Dennis's soul tremble.
No words can describe it enough.
It goes beyond astronomy.
This paper is not so much an astronomy paper as it is a physics paper, but applied to the field of astronomy.
Dennis could not imagine what kind of shock this paper would bring to the scientific community.
Stormy seas are not enough to describe it.
He suddenly thought of Professor Morgan's paper published in the journal Science a few years ago.
The concept of genetic mutation is the core of that paper.
And it originated from Professor Bruce.
For this great astronomy debate, Dennis also rushed to New York from Washington.
For the first time, he saw the legendary Professor Bruce with his own eyes.
I was deeply impressed in an instant.
He couldn't help but sigh:
"How could there be such an incredible man in the world."
"His light is like the sun."
Cattell didn't have time to think about it, he quickly took the paper and started browsing.
"Stellar energy!"
"Nuclear fusion!" "Hydrogen fusion into helium!"
"Nuclear reaction equation!"
"."
Although he is a psychology major, he has also studied basic knowledge of natural subjects such as physics and chemistry.
He couldn't understand the professional terminology and derivation process in the paper, but the results were understandable.
So the cartels were appalled.
Even from a layman's perspective, he knew the importance of this paper.
"Oh, God! Professor Bruce is too outrageous!"
"He created the sun with his wisdom!"
"I can no longer imagine what kind of shock this paper will bring to the scientific community!"
Suddenly, the cartel realized an important problem.
That is, the standard of this paper has exceeded the review ability of the editors of the "Science" journal.
There was nothing he could do but seek outside help.
So, he quickly ordered:
"Dennis, please telegraph the paper to Professor Hale and others immediately."
"Please ask them to give a review reply within today."
"We must publish this paper as quickly as possible."
The journal Science rarely receives papers in the field of astronomy.
Because in the United States, astronomers prefer to publish their papers in the Astrophysical Journal.
The journal was founded by Hale and later became an official professional journal under the American Astronomical Society.
In real history, Chandrasekhar's paper on the mass limit of stars was published there.
It is also a very authoritative journal in the field of astronomy.
What’s funny is that this journal was divided into a second zone journal by the Chinese Academy of Sciences in later generations
However, Cattell knew very well that based on the content of this paper, it would be a bit unfair to publish it in the Astrophysical Journal.
It requires higher quality journals.
Dennis followed the order and left, with excitement still on his face.
He understands that after today, the journal "Science" will usher in an unprecedented advertising effect.
People in the scientific community are aware of a habit of Professor Bruce.
That is, he does not publish papers easily, but every time he publishes a paper, it must be published in Nature.
And every article is earth-shattering.
Either reshape the foundation of physics, or be the ultimate or open up a direction.
This habit of the other party has also achieved the supreme status of "Nature" in the field of science.
Although "Science" claims to be tied with "Nature".
But Dennis knew very well that there was an invisible gulf between the two.
That's where Professor Bruce exists.
And now, the other party has published a paper in Science for the first time.
This is destined to be the greatest honor in the history of the journal Science.
Dennis smiled and sighed:
"Next, some people will be busy."
After Dennis left, Cattell still held the paper excitedly and read it over and over again.
Although he is a psychologist, he loves natural science.
Otherwise, he would not be keen to introduce scientific methods into psychological research and study it carefully.
It's a pity that Cattell feels that his IQ is not enough, otherwise he would be studying physical chemistry now.
Yes, he admitted without hesitation that he had a low IQ and was not proud of his achievements.
This is nothing to be ashamed of, especially for a psychologist.
Cartel has a clear understanding and profound analysis of himself.
He knew that all his achievements, taken together, were not even half as good as Professor Bruce's.
So Cattell has recently taken a keen interest in the psychology of scientists.
In his view, all human behavior can be traced and not based on illusory dreams.
He is committed to exploring what factors create such a big gap between ordinary people and scientists.
Especially a great and extraordinary being like Professor Bruce.
Among scientists, they are all alternative among alternatives.
It is simply the most precious experimental material that the cartel covets.
But unfortunately, he never had the chance to connect with Li Qiwei.
After all, a psychologist and a physicist really can't chat without having any friendship.
But now it's different.
Cattell saw an opportunity in the paper.
He could use this to visit him in person, and the person happened to be staying in the United States recently.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Thinking of this, Cartel's old face became excited.
After preparing his paper for publication, he immediately went to New York.
Bring all your measuring tables and give Professor Bruce a deep measurement.
"Perhaps I will be the first to decipher the genius brain of Professor Bruce."
——
Mount Wilson Observatory, California.
Here and New York are on the west and east sides of the United States respectively, with a distance of more than 4,000 kilometers between them.
After the debate, Haile returned with Hubble and others.
Because next, the field of astronomy will enter an explosive period.
So everyone should seize the time to do research.
Moreover, everyone can still see Professor Bruce at the conference two years later, so there is no need to stay in New York.
At this moment, Hubble is standing next to the world's largest telescope, the Hooker Telescope, on the observatory.
With a super-large caliber of 2.5 meters, it looks like a giant Star Destroyer cannon.
No secret in the universe can be hidden from it.
At 1.8 meters, Hubble looks extremely petite.
With a smile on his face, he murmured to himself as he inspected the parts of the telescope.
After the debate, Shapley was interviewed by representatives of Harvard University.
The two sides talked happily.
In the end, Shapley got his wish and was hired as the director of the Harvard University Observatory.
Obviously, his performance on the court impressed the opponent.
Therefore, Shapley did not come back with everyone, but went directly to Harvard University for inspection.
Now, Hubble is happy.
Once Shapley left, it meant that he would have the Hooke telescope to himself.
Professor Haer has left front-line research and naturally won't use it.
This is something Hubble dreams of.
"The progress of both my projects has been accelerated."
One is the spiral nebula problem, and the other is the expansion of the universe.
Hubble is now confident.
He wanted to make a splash and prove himself at the 1922 meeting.
Over the years, he has gained countless fame and honors because of Professor Bruce.
But he knows very well that these honors also come with heavy pressure.
Genius is so worthless in the current scientific world.
Even if Hubble was praised by Professor Bruce himself, it would be useless.
It must produce actual results.
Just like Wu Youxun, once the Wu-Compton effect came out, no one would question the gold content of his gold medal.
Scientific results are the greatest source of confidence for scientists.
Just when Hubble was getting angry, someone called him to go to the director's office immediately.
Hubble didn't know why, but he still put down what he was doing and walked towards Haer's office.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Professor Haer standing up excitedly.
"Hubble, come here quickly."
"Professor Bruce's paper will be published soon!"
"Oh my God! You can never imagine how shocking it is."
After that, Hale handed Hubble the telegram he had just received from New York.
When Hubble heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
He couldn't wait to see Professor Bruce's first astronomy paper.
During the debate, the strength displayed by the other party once again proved to everyone how terrifying Professor Bruce was.
And now, what kind of sensation will this paper written by the other party personally cause?
Hubble is so excited!
Just by looking up, he knew that this was a paper under review.
He immediately guessed the whole story.
This is what Professor Haier prescribed to him because of his special status.
"Hydrogen fusion!"
"Ten million degrees of heat!"
"Proton-neutron model application!"
"The first step is to change the P nucleus into D nucleus."
"The second step is to change the D nucleus into a helium-3 nucleus."
"The third step is to change helium 3-nucleus into helium 4-nucleus."
"Four protons, start fusion!"
Just finished watching it.
"Hiss!"
Hubble couldn't help but gasp.
He felt as if there was a surge of hot blood, rushing from the soles of his feet to the Tianling Cap, bursting out loudly.
“It’s so shocking!”
"How bold!"
At this moment he simply couldn't find the words to describe this paper.
Any language eclipses it.
Although this is just a conjecture.
However, the theoretical analysis and calculations inside all reflect Professor Bruce's amazing intuition.
Looking at the dumbfounded Hubble, Haer said with great emotion:
"Professor Bruce has perfectly applied his knowledge of atomic structure and quantum theory to the issue of stellar energy."
"I'm afraid only he can think of such an amazing and brilliant idea."
"I really can't imagine that the proton-neutron model he proposed can explain the nature of star formation so smoothly."
“This paper overturned my understanding of astronomical research.”
To be able to make the astronomy giant Haier say such a thing shows how shocked this paper was to him.
It reopens a new field of research.
And there is unlimited room for imagination.
Further fusion of helium, internal structure based on nuclear fusion, stellar evolution, and more.
Hubble was reluctant to take his eyes away from the paper for a long time.
"If there really is a God, then He must have created the world according to the general theory of relativity."
"Then based on nuclear fusion, stars were created."
Hubble could not imagine what kind of shock it would cause in the scientific community.
——
May 20, 1920.
"Science" magazine published Li Qiwei's paper on the cover.
The title is "On the Source of Stellar Energy."
The concept of nuclear fusion was introduced for the first time!
As soon as the article came out, the whole world was shocked!
Countless people shouted in disbelief:
"Professor Bruce, with the pen in his hand, created the sun."
"He is the undisputed King of the Sun!"
boom!
