Chapter 481 Under the sky, we are born as human beings! Above the sky, transform from mortal to god!
Royal Society Lecture Hall.
Nearly a hundred leading scientists from all over the world gathered together.
Among them are mathematicians, physicists, chemists, biologists, medical scientists, astronomers, materials scientists, and geologists.
In addition to physicists, many of the faces are old acquaintances of Li Qiwei, or have met him once.
They are all leaders in various fields and have prominent status.
Nobel Prize winner, tenured professor, director of research institute, subject master.
In addition, there are a lot of titles such as president, chairman, and leading brother.
Everyone in their own country is a great master who founded a sect.
Apart from Li Qiwei, probably no one in the world can organize this kind of ultra-high-level and cross-field meeting.
Because he is recognized as the number one scientist in the world, Professor Bruce Lee.
His knowledge reaches the sky and suppresses all the geniuses of this era.
However, this is only a small part of the reason why he has such appeal.
In the eyes of the big guys, Professor Bruce's devotion to science and broad mind are the foundation of his charm.
The big guys couldn’t help but sigh:
"Professor Bruce will always act for the benefit of all scientific workers throughout his life, rather than his own personal gain."
"He is open-minded and does not hide his love for the motherland, and he devotes himself to it."
"But at the same time, he loves the entire human world and has no narrow-minded ideas."
"He is not a cold and heartless scientific machine, but a scientific leader full of philanthropy."
"That's why he can call out from a high place, and all directions will respond."
Li Qiwei's ultimate personal charm broke the boundaries between countries and brought the big guys together.
This is not a relationship between following and being followed, but a sympathy between seekers.
The big guys know that the purpose of this meeting is to reflect on war, scientific union and independence.
In fact, throughout the history of science, there are not many scientists who are crazy and ambitious.
Even Oppenheimer, the creator of the atomic bomb, ended up being depressed and living in pain because of the atomic bomb.
The U.S. government eventually put him under strict surveillance.
Of course, Li Qiwei has a strong mentality and good reasons and will not be depressed.
Scientists are probably the most peace-loving group of people.
Because only the stable environment brought by peace can allow them to study selflessly.
At this moment, Sherrington, President of the Royal Society, presided over this meeting.
His face was red and full of vitality.
"Today, I feel extremely happy."
"Because the Royal Society has never held such an event."
"As the president, I feel extremely honored."
"The initiative of the Science Alliance is a great feat that benefits all scientists around the world."
"I believe that anyone who truly loves science will not object."
"We are in an era of scientific explosion, and communication between scientists has never been as frequent and convenient as it is today."
"As early as the ancient Greek times, those sages had already calculated through mathematics and astronomical knowledge that the earth is a ball."
"But most people at that time thought that the earth was flat or had some other shape."
"The reason is that the means of scientific dissemination and communication were too scarce at that time."
"The knowledge a person studies is only known to himself and cannot be shared at all."
"Science cannot develop truly rapidly in this environment."
"You have an apple and I have an apple. After we exchange, there is still only one apple."
"But you have a kind of knowledge, and I have a kind of knowledge. After the exchange between us, everyone gained two kinds of knowledge."
"This is the importance of scientific communication."
"Now, the latest paper published in the London journal Nature today can even be seen in American newspapers the next day."
"The means of communication between scientists have undergone earth-shaking changes."
"But at the same time, we are facing new problems."
"Internal, external, near-term, long-term."
"How to solve these problems and allow science to grow healthily, I think, is a question that every big boss here needs to think about."
"Because you are leaders in science, guiding the development direction of your respective fields."
"Only when everyone reaches a consensus can science, the highest achievement of human reason, be forever brilliant."
Wow!
Thunderous applause erupted in the venue.
Sherrington is worthy of being the president of the Royal Society. This opening and his magnanimity are majestic.
In an instant, everyone present got into the topic and started thinking about today's meeting.
After the applause ended, Sherrington spoke in a high tone:
"Now, I invite Professor Bruce Lee to come on stage and give a speech."
boom!
The venue became lively again.
Under everyone's gaze, Li Qiwei slowly walked onto the stage.
At this moment, his momentum reached its peak!
Today's meeting does not require him to be humorous or explain things in simple terms.
Only sincerity, only faith!
"Before I formally introduce the International Science Alliance, I would like to tell a little story about myself."
"When I was 15 years old, I came into contact with Newton's "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" for the first time."
"No words can describe my shock at that time."
"Because at that time, China was still implementing the eight-legged imperial examination system."
"The students study the Four Books and Five Classics."
"But on the other side of the earth, someone actually proposed the law of universal gravitation hundreds of years ago."
"That strong sense of contrast makes me at a loss what to do."
“I don’t know if it was a flash of inspiration or fate.”
"From that moment on, I made up my mind that I wanted to study science and physics!"
"At that time, I never thought about learning Western science well and then building my own country."
"I never thought that being a great scientist would leave a mark in history like Newton."
"Without any purpose, without any utility."
"No one taught me, it was entirely the charm of science itself that awakened me."
"That is mankind's most primitive pursuit of truth."
"For my ideal, I traveled across the ocean to Cambridge University in England."
"So, there are all the stories that follow."
Wow!
The big guys present heard about Professor Bruce's academic journey for the first time and seemed very interested.
An Asian traveled thousands of miles and chose to study in Europe because of Newton's scientific books.
This process is full of legend.
There is a romantic feeling of individualism.
Li Qiwei continued:
"What is my purpose in telling this story?"
"In my opinion, science itself is a very pure thing."
"Especially in the era in which Newton lived."
"Science can neither bring power and wealth, nor health and love."
"It has nothing to do with country, nation, or belief. It only has something to do with people's hearts."
"People who are pure at heart will naturally like pure science."
"Newton's law of universal gravitation is a sublimation of the spiritual world."
"It has no immediate impact on the real world."
"However, with the explosion of science, the technologies born out of it successively catalyzed the first industrial revolution and the second industrial revolution."
"The huge power hidden in the depths of science is revealed to the world."
"So, science is no longer pure." "Physics has become cannons and airplanes, chemistry has become explosive gas, and biology has become virus weapons."
"Science finally reveals its ferocious side."
"This world war has made everyone see how terrifying the current war is."
"It is no exaggeration to say that any country in Europe that participated in the war would have been able to defeat the entire world 100 years ago."
"So, in this human catastrophe, what is the position of scientists like us?"
The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became quiet.
Li Qiwei's sudden turn was unexpected by everyone.
The boy was attracted by the purity of science, and suddenly transformed into the war caused by science.
This intense conflict caused inexplicable emotions to rise in everyone's hearts.
And the last question is even more thought-provoking.
"Let me tell you."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"According to my observation, there are three camps of scientists in this war."
"Nationalists, pacifists, neutralists."
"Nationalism is when scientists choose to fight for their motherland."
"They participate in the research and development of new weapons and decipher the enemy's weapons information."
"Some even went to the front line in person and faced the hail of bullets."
"I know that most of the people here fall into this category."
Rutherford and others nodded silently.
"Peaceists are a type of scientists who firmly oppose war."
"They organized marches and scientific strikes and resolutely refused to participate in any acts of war."
"And we will also unite with other people and groups to put pressure on governments and pursue world peace."
Einstein and others nodded silently.
"The last neutrals are a bit like the pacifists."
"They also do not participate in wars and provide scientific services to any country, not even their own motherland."
"However, they are voluntary actions by individuals and will not be associated with others."
"They don't care whether the war is just or not, they just instinctively hope it ends soon."
Li Qiwei's analysis is extremely precise and profound.
Everyone present could not help but position themselves.
Soon, they realized a problem.
“President Sherrington just said that current science has encountered new problems.”
"I completely agree with what he said."
"I don't think the problem comes from science itself."
"Scientific communication methods, publication processes, and peer review are all sufficient."
"Questions come from the heart of the scientist."
"During the war, scientists from the three camps above all wrote to me."
"Without exception, the letters are all complaining to me."
"They don't know whether their choice is right or wrong."
"The nationalists believe that their weapons have killed many innocent people;"
“The peace faction believes that they only pursue world peace but fail to care about the interests of their own people;”
"And the neutrals think that they stand by and do not have the responsibilities that scientists should have, and they are like cowards."
"I read every letter extremely carefully. I can feel the pain in their hearts."
"Although science is still as pure as it was in Newton's time, we scientists can no longer be pure."
“It’s not that we don’t want to, it’s that the environment doesn’t allow it.”
"National justice, world peace, and personal rationality are intertwined and influence each other."
"Which one is right or wrong?"
Wow!
This bone-chilling analysis sent shivers down the spines of everyone present and was extremely horrified.
Professor Bruce's words were like an extremely sharp scalpel, carefully cutting open their brains to expose the thoughts inside.
Those unspeakable, incomprehensible, entanglements, anger, and hesitations that are indistinguishable between good and evil all broke out at this moment.
This feeling is terrible!
"Professor Bruce's ability to analyze people's hearts is simply like the devil."
Li Qiwei looked at everyone's expressions. There was no sadness or joy on his face.
Not only does he identify problems, he tries to solve them.
And his solution will completely change the world!
"In my opinion, all three ideas are right."
"The nationalists are not wrong, the peace faction is not wrong, and the neutralists are not wrong either."
"Because we are human beings!"
"Scientists are also living people."
"We live under the sky, and we are destined to be unable to get rid of human attributes."
"But."
Li Qiwei suddenly raised his voice and looked excited.
At this moment, his overwhelming figure enveloped the venue and the sky.
Everyone was shocked!
"This world is not just under the sky."
"When we look up, we can see that above the sky, the sea of stars is shining brightly."
"The biggest difference between scientists and ordinary people is that our thoughts can travel the universe like gods."
"Our bodies are under the sky, but our spirits are above the sky!"
"Under the sky, we are born as human beings! Above the sky, we transform from mortals to gods!"
boom!
The whole place went crazy!
The last sentence made everyone present get goosebumps with excitement.
Shocking!
Majestic!
Of course they knew what Professor Bruce meant.
That is, as a special group of scientists, as human beings, any choice they make is understandable.
You can ignore world peace for the sake of national interests;
You can ignore national interests for the sake of world peace;
You can also ignore the matter and hang it high.
This is the side of a scientist, living in the torrent of the world under the sky.
But when scientists look up to the sky, they are gods.
They are the embodiment of God in human reason.
Under the incredible gazes of everyone, Li Qiwei became even more excited.
He waved his right hand vigorously and said arrogantly:
"So, I hope that all scientists around the world can unite together."
"I, Bruce Lee, will not be so stupid as to let scientists give up their human side."
"I just want our hearts to stop suffering and become pure again."
"Scientists are some of the smartest people in the world."
"Our spirits are combined to transform into gods. The ultimate goal is the end of science."
"It transcends countries, it transcends humans, it transcends the earth."
boom!
The whole place was shocked!
