Chapter 25 Invited Family Dinner
Early the next morning, the three of them finally left London and began their journey to Germany.
Roaring waves, roaring trains, bumpy carriages, Hong'er was chattering non-stop along the way, very excited.
As for Li Qiwei and Li San, they were in a daze the whole time, and they just wanted to sleep due to the noise.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly. After four days and four nights, the three of them finally arrived in Berlin on the morning of July 4th.
After checking in at the hotel, Li Qiwei immediately contacted Planck to inquire about the next arrangements.
After Planck learned the news, he was very happy and invited Li Qiwei to visit his home tonight.
And he will prepare a small welcome party for Li Qiwei tomorrow, which will be attended by basically students and professors from the Department of Physics of the University of Berlin.
Li Qiwei expressed that he was flattered and promised to attend the banquet on time in the evening.
After he came back, he told Li San and Hong'er to follow him, but they disagreed and said they were not used to eating with foreigners, so they had no choice but to give up.
Li Qiwei asked Hong'er to prepare a few gadgets suitable for gift giving, which he would take with him in the evening.
As the young master of a large family, Li Qiwei brought a variety of novel domestic handmade products from home after arriving in the UK, just to facilitate such occasions.
So Li Qiwei has nothing to do this afternoon.
He walked alone on the streets of Berlin, feeling the charm of this world-famous city.
The familiar short video that I have seen in later generations rang in my ears.
[Background music: "A pillow of yellow beams dreams too long, look up at the moonlight"]
[Video picture: That night, the Berlin air defense tower lit up the entire night sky. 】
Of course, Berlin at this moment, although it is the capital of Germany, is not as prosperous as imagined.
It is far inferior to the super metropolises of later generations, and is not even comparable.
But there is a sense of historical depth, especially for Li Qiwei who came from time to time, which makes people addicted.
Before he knew it, he spent the entire afternoon wandering around.
After looking at the time on his pocket watch, Ridgway walked towards Planck's home.
At night, on a street in urban Berlin, Li Qiwei stood in front of a house and knocked on the door gently.
"Oh, Bruce, you are finally here, welcome!" Plank gave Ridgway a hug and invited him to enter.
“Hello, Professor, this is a gift I brought, which is not common in Berlin.”
"Oh, Bruce, you are so polite. Melk, come here quickly, Bruce is here."
At this time, a middle-aged man who still looks charming and has a smile on his face The woman came. She was Planck's first wife.
“Oh, my God, these porcelains are so exquisite, and this gift is so precious.” Melk exclaimed after taking the gift.
“This is just my thought. Without Professor Planck’s guidance, I would not have published the paper so quickly.” Li Qiwei said with a smile.
Plank quickly pulled Li Qiwei towards the restaurant.
"Haha, Bruce, don't be modest. It's mainly your result, and I've benefited from it."
"Come on, sit down quickly, you must be tired and hungry after running all the way. "
"Melk, hurry up and serve our Bruce."
So, the two of them discussed the problem while eating, but Melk didn't serve it together, and she wanted to eat. Taking care of his four children.
The little guys are going crazy somewhere. What Li Qiwei doesn’t know is that these four children will all have a tragic fate in the future.
At this moment, while eating, he was chatting with Planck about physics and the upcoming regular meeting of the Berlin Physical Society.
"Professor, I want to know who is participating in this regular meeting. Don't put me under pressure. I don't want to meet another Lord Kelvin."
Planck was Ridgway made a joke and explained: "Don't worry, Bruce, everyone is here to listen to your report this time."
"No one will make things difficult for you because of your identity, after all, even Lord Kelvin They all lost to you, and the others are not stupid."
"And there are some heavyweight physicists participating in this regular meeting." Li Qiwei was moved, and then under Planck's introduction, Only then did he realize how high-end and grand this meeting was.
Among the people who came, there were too many big names, including:
William Röntgen, 55 years old, won the first Nobel Prize in 1901 for his discovery of X-rays in 1895. Physics Prize.
Ludwig Boltzmann, 56 years old, his main achievement is to propose the Boltzmann equation for statistical physics.
Herman Minkowski, 36 years old, Einstein’s teacher.
Emil Fischer, 48 years old, was a close friend of Planck and won the 1902 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
These are all existing big names, not future stars like Einstein.
At the same time, from Planck, Ridgway also learned that there are some future bosses, such as:
Max Laue, now 21 years old, studied under Minkowski, and later He studied under Planck and won the 1914 Nobel Prize in Physics.
Fritz Haber, 32 years old, won the 1918 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for being the first to create ammonia from the air, freeing humans from natural nitrogen fertilizers.
Of course, in addition to the above-mentioned big names, there were also many professors, students and others attending the conference.
The membership of the Berlin Physical Society is not limited to physics, but also experts in many other fields.
And due to the regional nature of the society, the invitees are mainly scientists from Germany or scholars temporarily living in Germany.
As a result, many names familiar to Li Qiwei did not appear.
However, the above people are enough.
Any one of them would be a textbook figure for future generations.
Now, they are all attracted to Li Qiwei and want to see how charming this genius who created [Quantum Mechanics] is.
After recalling these celebrities in his mind, Li Qiwei smiled bitterly and said: "Professor, I really feel stressed now."
"However, thank you very much for giving me This opportunity is very important to me.”
“We in China need to have our own voice in the field of science!”
Planck was moved by Li Qiwei's sonorous and powerful words. He sincerely hoped that Li Qiwei's motherland would become stronger.
He could feel that the other person was carrying too much.
Although he doesn’t know why Li Qiwei does this, he will support it unreservedly.
So Planck got into the mood, and even though he was a teetotaler, he and Li Qiwei drank several glasses of wine.
In this pleasant atmosphere, the two talked more and more happily, and the room was filled with laughter.
By the time Li Qiwei rushed back to the hotel, it was already past 10 p.m.
After several days of hard work and drinking, Li Qiwei was now a little drunk and confused.
Hong'er smelled the smell of alcohol on his body, and quickly helped him take off his clothes, wiped his body, and helped him go to bed to rest.
Unexpectedly, Li Qiwei kissed Hong'er on the forehead, whether because of his drunkenness or other reasons.
Hong'er was immediately startled, her cheeks turned red, and she stood by the bed, at a loss.
He lowered his head and kept rubbing his clothes with his hands.
At this time, Li Qiwei was lying on the bed, snoring slightly without knowing what he had just done.
Hong'er walked to him, looked at him quietly, and tidied his messy hair.
Li Qiwei had a charming smell that made Hong'er's body feel hot and her mouth went dry.
She didn't know what it felt like. Now she just wanted to serve the young master for the rest of her life and never leave.
In order to worry about Li Qiwei being thirsty in the middle of the night, Hong'er lay beside the bed and waited until she fell asleep, with a slight smile on her lips.
The first round of recommendations came at midnight on Sunday, so I was very nervous. Dear readers, please start reading and collecting more. Thank you, Laoxu~
