Chapter 59 Attention is on everyone
On the morning of June 20, a group of strange people suddenly came to Cambridge University.
However, teachers and students are not surprised by this.
You don’t need to ask to know that these people must be from other schools and have been invited by Cambridge to visit and study Li Qiwei’s graduation defense.
Because Li Qiwei’s defense briefing is now posted everywhere on campus.
"Proposed quantum theory and explained the photoelectric effect. Bruce Lee, the keynote speaker of the first quantum conference, a prospective doctoral student at Cavendish and an undergraduate student majoring in physics at Trinity College, is at the defense site. Welcome to your arrival."
"Graduation thesis title: "Some Thoughts on the Wave and Particle Nature of Light." Your questions are welcome."
Nowadays, Li Qiwei's name is very popular among students in the Department of Physics.
From professors to students, everyone knows about it. He is a rising star in the world of physics.
So most of the teachers and students participating in the defense this time are from physics majors or chemistry and other related disciplines. Everyone listens with an attitude of learning and admiration.
After all, not just any undergraduate student is eligible to participate in a high-end conference like the Quantum Conference.
But as the saying goes, every other line is like a mountain.
In other disciplines, such as philosophy, political science, economics and other fields, Li Qiwei is not well-known.
This is also normal. Even in later generations where information dissemination is extremely developed, students majoring in biology will definitely not care about any major news in the field of psychology.
To explain in layman's terms, Li Qiwei's current influence has not yet left the circle, and is only limited to the field of physics.
But this still does not hinder everyone's curiosity. Although they do not know what quantum and photoelectric effects mean, they only need to know that they are disruptive results.
If you compare it to your own major, you can imagine Li Qiwei's genius and status.
Everyone wants to see why you are so awesome, even though we are all undergraduates.
This defense meeting was very grand. Students from more than a dozen majors at Cambridge University basically participated, including some with extraordinary talents.
As for those who come from other schools, they are all the elites of this school. Young people all have the spirit of refusing to admit defeat. No one thinks that they are inferior to others.
Therefore, many people even came prepared, wanting to suppress Li Qiwei's prestige and see if he was worthy of his reputation.
It is simply incredible that a man from the Qing Dynasty can surpass countless European physicists.
“Anyway, I don’t believe that Bruce Lee is that legendary. Some people actually say that his theory is comparable to Newton’s. Do you think it’s ridiculous?”
“The Qing Dynasty in the East has a long history. , but it is just the reincarnation of feudal dynasties. Without scientific soil, there is no scientific fruit. Bruce Lee is afraid that it is not worthy of its name.”
“It is just a physical theory that can neither cure diseases nor save people, nor can it produce useful results. Machine, I don’t know why the school has to promote it so much.”
"We need to be wary of the Qing Dynasty stealing scientific achievements from Europe. Although the people in power there are ignorant, they are very good at scheming."
"Physics is just a branch of philosophy."
This moment , Li Qiwei, who has not yet appeared, has already attracted much attention and become the center of the topic.
In Cambridge in June, the sun shines brightly and the weather is fine, which makes people feel relaxed.
At around 1:30 in the afternoon, the lecture theater of Trinity College was already densely packed with people, and bursts of laughter would erupt from time to time.
After a while, Dean Sanders came in with Professor Case and the rest of the defense committee, chatting and smiling.
The venue gradually became quiet, with only some whispers, and everyone was waiting for when the protagonist of this defense would arrive.
Then, Dean Sanders came on stage and introduced the importance of this defense impassionedly. The audience was bored until the last sentence:
"Now, let me warmly welcome this speaker. Respondent, Bruce Lee! "Boom!
Everyone suddenly became alert and looked toward the door.
There, a tall figure suddenly appeared, striding calmly towards the podium.
An invincible aura filled the air, making everyone breathe quickly.
Immediately afterwards, everyone in the classroom suddenly burst into surprise, because Li Qiwei's appearance was so breathtaking.
A brand new and decent suit and dress, matched with Wang Luyao's carefully selected tie, coupled with a height of 1.8 meters and a mysterious oriental face.
It was clearly a lecture hall, but he was standing at the lowest point. But in the eyes of everyone, he felt like he was standing on the top of Mount Olympus, accepting the worship of thousands of people.
At this moment, Li Qiwei is like a star holding the moon, standing proudly on the podium like a proud son of heaven, looking down at everything.
His image completely broke everyone's stereotype of the Qing Dynasty, and even made these self-proclaimed civilized Europeans feel ashamed of themselves.
He Yujie and others below couldn’t help but admire him. It’s true that Brother Li was so handsome in his outfit today.
With just a simple appearance, Li Qiwei has already overwhelmed everyone in the classroom with his momentum.
He raised his deep eyes and looked at everyone slowly. There was no trace of nervousness or panic on his face, only endless calmness and coldness.
He knew that today’s defense would not go so smoothly because it was very different from the previous London Quantum Conference.
At the quantum conference, the participants are all big guys or experts in the field of physics.
As long as Li Qiwei can convince the other party with language logic or mathematical formulas, it means he wins.
But now, the people participating in today's defense are all young people. When they debate, they don't talk about reason, they only talk about emotions.
Even if your logic is rigorous and your calculations are correct, you still cannot convince others.
However, Li Qiwei has already made all preparations and is confident to face any challenges and difficulties.
Suddenly, he smiled again, making the people in the audience feel friendly and relaxed, but also a little confused.
Because at this moment, Li Qiwei thought of some jokes about defense in his previous life, such as:
"Undergraduate defense survival guide: purse your lips, nod, and apologize when you ask."
"Defense, just answer but not defend, nod your head three times for one question, and apologize for the second question."
"The classic picture "The Defense in My Eyes: The atmosphere is serious in suits and ties; The Defense in the Teacher's Eyes: Kindergarten Performance" "
But the situation is different now. He looked up at the answering teachers and found that they all responded with friendly smiles, hoping that Li Qiwei would be more conscious and not embarrass the teachers.
After retracting all his thoughts, under the complicated looks of everyone, Li Qiwei finally spoke: "Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend my graduation defense."
" Since there are many students and teachers from other majors today, I will never use any formula when describing my thoughts and results.”
"I hope that by using easy-to-understand language and using familiar examples from daily life, everyone can understand what I am doing."
"Although physics is magical, it is definitely not mysterious. The moment is all around us, dominating the whole world.”
This is a very good statement. Dean Sanders took the lead in applauding, and then there was a moderate applause in the classroom, and obviously there were some people. Not buying it.
Li Qiwei did not care and continued: "The content of my thesis is about the discussion of the nature of light, and it all starts with a debate."
Thanks [buffering] 99%] rewards. Thank you to all new and old book friends for your two votes. Without further ado, let’s start showing off. This plot is also very difficult to write. I hope everyone can be more tolerant and point out any mistakes in time.
