Chapter 12 Improving the Cloud Room
In the next few days, Li Qiwei became a complete celebrity at Cambridge University.
No matter where he goes, someone will point fingers at him.
But the good thing is that there are fewer people looking for trouble, and no one dares to use his identity to make trouble.
Just kidding, this guy even dares to hit the prime minister’s grandson, and everyone is afraid to avoid him.
As a result, Li Qiwei was very satisfied.
After class every day, he ran to the Cavendish Laboratory to continue studying.
In order to fully integrate into this era and understand the scientific research rules of this era.
Li Qiwei also carefully studied the use of various instruments and became familiar with current paper writing rules.
Only when he truly participated in the construction of scientific research instruments from scratch to one did he understand the difficulty of his predecessors.
Any great breakthrough in physics has the efforts of countless people behind it.
At this moment, in the Cavendish Laboratory, Wilson was introducing Li Qiwei enthusiastically:
"Bruce, look, this is the instrument I designed, and I named it Particle Observation ”
“The principle is to form mist beads through water vapor”
“Because each mist bead must have a dust core”
"Therefore, if microscopic particles enter this water vapor area, the particles are equivalent to dust, and fog beads will be formed around the particles."
"As long as we know the trajectory of the fog beads, we can judge the movement process of the particles. . ”
Li Qiwei was very shocked after hearing this. Although in later generations, this kind of instrument has long been eliminated, and there are more advanced equipment for observing microscopic particles.
But more than a hundred years ago, we could think of such an ingenious method to observe particles using only water vapor.
It is definitely a move of genius.
"What a brilliant idea. Dr. Wilson, you are amazing." Li Qiwei praised sincerely.
Wilson grinned after hearing this, feeling very pleased.
But then, he said distressedly: "But, now I have a problem."
"What problem?" Li Qiwei asked.
“My method can only monitor the movement trajectory of electrons, but cannot monitor the movement trajectory of atoms.”
"I don't know what the reason is."
"Even Professor Thomson can't give an answer."
Of course Li Qiwei knows the problem.
So, he asked tentatively: "Is it possible that it is due to charging."
"Water vapor forms fog beads, which requires the core to be charged."
"The atom itself is electrically neutral and uncharged; while electrons are charged."
"That's why the situation you mentioned occurs."
After saying that, Li Qiwei was still cautious. He carefully observed Wilson's expression, and sure enough, the other party was shocked.
"Electric? Yes, why didn't I think of that?"
"I can definitely verify this idea through experiments."
"Wow, Bruce, you are simply born for physics."
Wilson looked excited, and the problem that had been plaguing him was finally solved.
This kind of mood is simply unimaginable unless someone is also doing experimental research.
Moreover, after this problem is solved, the instructor's atomic model can continue.
For a moment, Wilson looked at Li Qiwei with bright eyes, scaring the latter so much that he had goose bumps.
Ridgway quickly interrupted Wilson's [philosophical] attack.
"By the way, Dr. Wilson, I think the name Particle Observer is not nice."
"How about naming it 'Cloud Chamber'?"
< br>After hearing this, Wilson murmured to himself: "Cloud Chamber? Cloud Chamber!"
"What a good name, very appropriate."
"It perfectly expresses the characteristics of this instrument, Bruce, it's really yours."
Ignoring the small talk, Wilson quickly pulled Ridgway and ran towards Thomson.
He couldn't help but tell his mentor the good news.
In the office of Professor Thomson, director of the laboratory.
Wilson is reporting excitedly to Thomson. At the same time, he kept praising Li Qiwei. Thanks to the other party's guidance, he came up with a solution.
Hearing this, Thomson also looked at the other party with a smile, sighing in his heart.
Just now, the chairman of the school's board of directors found him and asked him about Li Qiwei's situation.
Although there was no other expression, Thomson knew that this was still because of the fight that night.
Wilson had already told himself the cause and effect of the matter.
But what he didn't expect was that the board of directors actually got involved.
This made him feel very angry!
It is normal for young people to be angry, and it was Cecil who was at fault.
The school actually wants to expel Li Qiwei and leave the Cavendish Laboratory.
Joke, when will it be the turn of a group of administrative officials to intervene in academic matters!
Thomson retorted on the spot, saying that he did not know the situation and did not give the other party any face.
Cavendish, he still dominates the world!
This is the uniqueness and charm of Cambridge.
Cavendish Laboratory is a separate college and is not governed by the School Board.
In later generations, Cambridge University was even on the same level as the British government, and the government had no right to manage the school.
Without Thomson's nod, no one should even think about dealing with the students here.
Even if the other party is the Prime Minister!
Moreover, Bruce, a young man, was not only highly regarded by Professor Planck.
I just solved my student's problem again.
Both emotions and reasons, Thomson has to support the other party.
Li Qiwei didn't know what was going on in Thomson's mind, so he just waved his hand to express that he was just mentioning it casually.
The main work has been done by Wilson.
But as a T3 level boss, how could Professor Thomson not understand the importance of Li Qiwei?
Sometimes, a simple sentence can inspire a physicist.
So, he smiled and said:
"Bruce, I know that modesty is a habit of you Easterners."
"However, in my case, no matter the status, whoever's achievements belong to the same person."
"So, you don't It is necessary to refuse, and we learn from each other."
Li Qiwei was shocked when he heard this. No wonder Thomson can take charge of Cavendish at the age of 28.
No matter what his background is, his courage alone is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
So Li Qiwei no longer hid his clumsiness and said generously:
"Don't worry, Professor, I will assist Dr. Wilson in completing the subsequent test verification part."
Thomson said: "Bruce, you can Read with confidence and don’t have any psychological burden.”
“If you have any questions, you can come to me at any time.”
Li Qiwei understood instantly. It seemed that Cecil had already taken action.
He also knew that Professor Thomson in front of him wanted to protect himself, otherwise he would not have said those words.
So, he said sincerely: "Thank you, Professor, I will do my best."
After that, he and Wilson left the office.
Next, Li Qiwei was in class and doing experiments while waiting for news from Professor Planck.
He didn’t know how much pressure Thomson could withstand from the outside world.
He has to rely on himself to win the respect of others and resist all crises.
Destiny should always be firmly in your own hands!
At the same time, a conspiracy about him is also being carried out secretly.
