Chapter 37 Meet the boss again (Thanks to [Xue Yuxiao] for the reward)
Li Qiwei spent the last few days of the holiday busy. He has a lot of things to do now and is in urgent need of an assistant.
Although Hong'er and Li San are trustworthy, their scientific and cultural level is too low;
Although my younger brother Chris is good enough, he cannot be completely trusted for the time being. After all, he is not Chinese, and some things are not Not suitable for him.
After much thought, Li Qiwei could only suffer for himself first, and then make plans after finishing this period of time.
On September 1, 1900, Li Qiwei finally ushered in the start of school, which was also the last year of his undergraduate degree.
When he steps into the campus, many people will show envious expressions when they see him.
Since Vice-Chancellor Caldwell spared no effort to promote it, in addition to Trinity College, even other colleges are full of legends about Ridgway.
In the words of later generations, he became popular.
Li Qiwei is naturally happy to see this situation. If time were not too tight now, he would have wanted to chat with the big guys in philosophy, chemistry, mathematics, and life sciences in Cambridge.
In the final year of physics majors, students have basically no courses, and they mainly focus on preparing their graduation thesis.
For Li Qiwei, this is a piece of cake. I am afraid that when the time comes for the defense, it will be the tutor who is trembling.
With less class time, Li Qiwei will have more time to do experiments in the Cavendish Laboratory.
During the period, Lord Kelvin sent a message that the meeting to discuss [Quantum Mechanics] was finally scheduled for September 25th, and there were basically not many days left.
Three days later, Li Qiwei stepped into the Cavendish Laboratory for the first time since his vacation.
As soon as he appeared, he was caught by the scientific research madman Wilson. "Hey, Bruce, I miss you so much. You missed a lot of good things on this trip to Germany."
"Now in the physics world, you are more famous than my mentor. I Many colleagues in the industry have asked me about you."
Facing Wilson's barrage, Li Qiwei could only smile awkwardly and wave his hands, "How can I be compared with Professor Thomson? I'm almost worried now. How can I argue with the big guys when the time comes?"
Wilson knew that he was talking about the [Quantum Mechanics] conference, so he joked: "Haha, I was also invited to the conference. There are more than twenty days left, Bruce, are you nervous? "
Li Qiwei said: "I am young anyway, and I am not afraid of wearing shoes. When the time comes, I will have to bite the bullet and go." In fact, he thought in his heart. The answer is: Get out of the way, I'm going to start showing off.
Wilson patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's okay, I believe you. With your genius, you can definitely defeat those old seniors one against ten."
"Let's go, today I will introduce another person Let me introduce you to the genius. He is also a student of his mentor. In other words, he is my junior."
"Of course, I am far behind him. Hey, the entire laboratory is smarter than me. It’s really sad.”
Li Qiwei saw the genius in Wilson’s thoughts.
He is not tall but has bright eyes. With a mustache on his upper lip, wearing a suit and tie, he exudes a super-elite vibe.
Wilson introduced: "Bruce, this is Ernest Rutherford. My mentor's former student is now a professor in the Department of Physics at McGill University in Canada and a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada."
"And I'm just a lecturer. I'm ashamed."
Rutherford first smiled slightly and said to Wilson: "Senior, the instructor has already said that you are his favorite."
< br>Wilson pretended to nod in agreement, crying silently.
Then, under Li Qiwei's gaze, Rutherford stretched out his hand and turned to look at him, "Hello, Bruce, I've known you for a long time, I am Rutherford."
Li Qiwei also stretched out his hand and smiled: "Hello, Rutherford, I am Bruce, nice to meet you."
Of course I am happy to see the future boss, and at the same time, Li Qiwei also appeared in his mind The other party's resume:
"Ernest Rutherford, born in New Zealand in 1871."
"In 1894, he obtained three degrees from the University of New Zealand (Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts , Bachelor of Science)"
"In 1895, he entered the Cavendish Laboratory and became a graduate student of Thomson."
"In 1898, on the recommendation of Thomson, he served as a professor in the Department of Physics of McGill University. In the same year, he was elected as a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada."
"In 1908, he won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his research on radioactivity. "
"In 1911, based on the results of alpha particle scattering experiments, the atomic [planetary model] was proposed. "In 1919, the [proton] was discovered and named."
"In 1932, guided students to discover [neutron]."
"Died in 1937 and was buried alongside Newton and Faraday."
Such a gorgeous resume is terrifying.
According to Li Qiwei's classification, Rutherford is a proper T3 level existence.
And Rutherford is not only awesome himself, among the students he brought out, five won the Nobel Prize in Physics and one won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Among them was the future Niels Bohr, the leader of the Copenhagen School.
As for his other honors, they are countless.
Faced with such a super boss, Li Qiwei can only respect him and dare not look down upon him, even if he is very young now.
Rutherford looked at the young man in front of him and didn't understand why he was so respectful to him, so he smiled and said: "Bruce, it's our first time meeting you. Please forgive me for being rude. You are very different from what I imagined." "
"Oh?" Li Qiwei smiled lightly: "Please elaborate."
Rutherford paused for a while, sorted out his words, and said: "I thought I could publish [Quantum Mechanics]. 】Those who believe in theory must be arrogant, otherwise how could they have such unbridled imagination? ”
"But when I saw you today, Bruce, you are gentle and reserved, which is in line with my view of the Chinese elite."
"In Chinese language, you are a 'gentleman'." Two gentlemen This word was said by Rutherford in Chinese.
This made Li Qiwei extremely surprised. He was indeed a master of literature, and he actually had research on Chinese culture.
So, he responded: "Thank you for your compliment, Rutherford. For us Chinese, 'gentleman' is a very high praise."
"I am also very happy. , to meet a foreigner who knows something about China, you know, I am more discriminated against here.”
As he said that, Li Qiwei waved his hands in cooperation.
Rutherford smiled knowingly and said: "Mediocre people always like to use identity labels to look at others, but forget the essence of people."
"Bruce, you don't have to worry, At least there are people like me who understand you, right?”
This almost broke Li Qiwei. What the hell, the Rutherford opposite is not a fake time traveler, right?
Why do you do all these things? Is a Master of Arts so good at seducing people?
It seems that he has to find an opportunity to study for a master's degree in literature at Cambridge and solve the problem of being single as soon as possible.
Li Qiwei smiled and said: "Thank you, Rutherford, you make me feel that this world is still very beautiful."
"About physics, I think we must have a lot in common Topic."
"Will you stay in the UK for a while?"
Rutherford said: "Yes, I am going through some relevant procedures and expect to stay in the UK for a long time. .”
"I just have a lot of questions that I want to talk to you about. Now I have to deal with some things. We'll see you next."
So he said goodbye to Li Qiwei and Wilson.
Wilson, who had been silent next to him, said at this moment: "It's true that geniuses are so sympathetic to each other, I can't even get a word in."
Li Qiwei said: "Oh, my teacher Wilson, hurry up and do the experiment. Come on, get your cloud room done soon, you will be a genius."
Wilson smiled, full of energy.
Please collect it, please read it, thank you bosses.
