Chapter 70 Heading to France, the meeting begins
On August 10, 1901, Li Qiwei took Wang Luyao, Li San, and Xu Qitai to France to attend the European Radiology Conference.
The conference was held at the University of Paris.
This is a legendary university and one of the oldest universities in Europe, located in Paris, the capital of France.
The University of Paris was founded in 1200, but can be traced back even earlier to 1150-1160.
The first university in the UK, Oxford University, was founded by teachers and students who returned to the UK from the University of Paris in 1167.
Outstanding alumni include: Curies, de Broglie, Langevin, Poincaré
However, in 1968, the University of Paris was split into 13 independent universities for some reasons: 1-13th University of Paris.
After the four Li Qiwei arrived in Paris on the 13th, they were warmly received by the Curies.
Although Madame Curie was not working at the University of Paris at this time, her husband Mr. Curie was a professor at the Faculty of Science at the University of Paris.
So the two bought a house to live near the university.
There were no expensive furniture or furnishings in Madame Curie's home, but it was filled with various professional books and was kept spotless.
After Li Qiwei and Wang Luyao were invited, they could immediately feel an academic atmosphere.
Mrs. Curie was very happy for the arrival of the two.
"Oh, Bruce, is this beautiful lady your wife?" After saying that, she enthusiastically took Wang Luyao's hand and looked at her.
Li Qiwei smiled and said: "Madame Curie, this is my fiancée. You can call her by her French name: Sophie Marceau."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Luyao hit her hard on the back I was so embarrassed that I dared to give myself a foreign name at will.
But she understood what Li Qiwei said about his fiancée, and she felt very sweet.
The poor little witch didn’t know how much of Li Qiwei’s bad taste was contained in this name, otherwise she would have screwed her even more severely.
Madame Curie's eyes suddenly shone, "Oh, what a beautiful name. Sophie, I didn't expect you to like French names."
Wang Luyao replied in broken English: "I admire you very much, Madame Curie. You are really a role model for us women."
After hearing this, Mrs. Curie laughed heartily and was very satisfied with Wang Luyao. In the end, Curie The husband came out and took a few people to eat quickly.
At the dinner table, the four of them ate elegantly while discussing issues.
Li Qiwei asked: "Mr. Curie, I remember that there seems to be a specialized society for physics in France. I don't know why you want to organize a radiology conference."
Mr. Curie said: "Oh , you should be talking about the International Society of Physics in Paris, but its name is still too small.”
"You know, the centers of physics are now in the UK and Germany, and France's voice is still a little weak."
"So the French government is interested in radioactive research and hopes to enhance France's influence in the field of physics. The right to speak.”
“Sometimes, there is no difference between us scientists and soldiers, we all serve the motherland.”
Li Qiwei was amused by his words and stopped asking.
On the other hand, Wang Luyao and Madame Curie were chatting animatedly. The latter kept looking at him with a smile on her lips.
Li Qiwei was inexplicably embarrassed and didn't know what the two were discussing.
Soon, the four of them finished their meal, and it was inconvenient for Li Qiwei to continue nagging, as the other party would have to prepare the contents of the meeting tomorrow.
On the morning of August 15, Li Qiwei took Wang Luyao and Xu Qitai into the venue of the radiology conference.
As for Li Sanze, he refused to follow him, because he listened to the Book of Heaven at the Berlin Physics Annual Meeting last time, and his listening was a little shadowy.
He simply went out for a walk alone, and Li Qiwei ignored him.
When the three Li Qiwei appeared at the venue, they immediately caused a small group of exclamations.
There were about 100 people in the entire venue. Including Madame Curie, there were only a few women. They should all be family members of the participants.
So, Wang Luyao, dressed in a long skirt, instantly attracted the attention of many people.
The classical and elegant Eastern appearance greatly shocked these Westerners. Li Qiwei thought to himself, if something goes wrong, the familiar plot will not happen again.
He has confirmed that time-travelers are all born to be ridiculed, and accidents will happen wherever they go.
Sure enough, at this moment, a young man with flowing blond hair but frivolous eyes walked over.
"Hello, beautiful lady, I am Anders, a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark."
"Can I get to know you?" After that, Anders Si was about to kiss the back of Wang Luyao's hand.
The little witch was frightened and quickly hid behind Li Qiwei. Although she is Westernized, she will not easily accept Western etiquette.
Li Qiwei looked at him calmly and said indifferently: "She is my fiancée. If you are fine, you can leave." After that, he pulled Wang Luyao away.
Anders smiled with disdain in his heart, "Huh, he's just an Oriental, why bother?" After saying that, he returned to his seat.
No one paid attention to this episode.
As soon as Li Qiwei was about to take a seat, he was pulled to the front row by Madame Curie.
There Rutherford was wearing a handsome suit and his hair was meticulously combed back. Those who didn’t know better thought he was a movie star.
As soon as Li Qiwei arrived in Paris, he had already met Rutherford.
“Hey, Bruce, why are you here?”
“Oh, I just admired the scenery in the University of Paris and found that it is not as good as Cambridge.”
“Haha , Bruce, don’t let others hear what you said, we are both weak today.”
“That’s not necessarily the case, Rutherford, you have to give us a good speech later. Dish Laboratory does a good job of image endorsement”
Rutherford was stunned. Although he had never heard of this word, he could understand its meaning.
He straightened his tie, obviously confident about his next performance.
At this time, Mr. Curie on the stage had already begun to introduce: "Welcome all colleagues in radiology to attend this meeting."
"Today we have invited a special guest , he is Bruce Lee of Cambridge University. "
"Yes, he is the genius physicist who successively published quantum theory, photoelectric effect, and wave-particle duality of light."
< br>
After saying that, Li Qiwei had no choice but to stand up and nod.
Countless envious eyes fell on him, but there was a trace of hostility mixed in them.
Anders did not expect that the person he bumped into would be Bruce Lee. "Damn it, a Qing man dares to be so arrogant!"
He suddenly thought of his uncle who was a professor in Sweden. He had mentioned him frequently in recent days, and even mentioned Nobel Prize inadvertently.
Although Anders is from the Department of Physics, he is uneducated and has no skills. He was only able to get a doctorate because of his uncle, a professor.
He thought that Li Qiwei was just a person engaged in theoretical physics, and his so-called achievements were all blown out.
At this time, Mr. Curie suddenly raised his voice, "Now, let us invite Ernest Lu, academician of the Royal Society of Canada, professor of the Department of Physics at McGill University, and visiting scholar at the Cavendish Laboratory. Serfo."
"Today, he will give us a wonderful lecture on radiology."
The audience burst into thunderous applause.
Rutherford was high-spirited and strode onto the podium, overlooking the people in the audience.
Here are basically scholars doing radioactive research. Everyone’s attitude towards Rutherford is like the attitude towards Li Qiwei in the field of theoretical physics.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that Li Qiwei's skills were superior to those of the others.
Thank you all book friends for your monthly tickets and recommendation tickets, and thank you for your strong support.
Lao Xu is here to collect and read, hoping that it can rise again and reach Sanjiang. Thanks.
