Chapter 82 Ph.D. Admission, Selecting a Topic (Third Update)
On September 20, 1901, Li Qiwei entered the campus again as a doctoral student in the Cavendish Laboratory of Cambridge University.
Two months of running around made him feel like he was in another world.
It seems that he should not stay in a closed and quiet laboratory, but should stand in front of thousands of people and point out the academic direction.
Soon, he calmed down. Now he is still far from leading the world.
After sorting out the things at hand, Li Qiwei found that there were more and more people. The start of school was indeed not a good thing.
The first one is a reply to Einstein.
It records in detail the derivation process of the LQW equation, as well as Ridgway's own views on the principle of relativity.
Basically half of the special theory of relativity is completed, and the rest is left to Einstein to perfect.
According to the opponent's current level and time, he predicts that the narrow phase will be available before June next year, which will cause a bloody storm in the physics world.
Thinking of that grand occasion, Li Qiwei couldn't help but smile knowingly, looking forward to it very much.
Of course, during this period, both parties must communicate frequently.
Li Qiwei plans to collect all the letters, which will definitely become priceless scientific historical relics in the future.
The second one is that He Yujie and the others officially started their professional courses.
The teaching materials compiled by Li Qiwei are completely cram-feeding education. If they are to be truly promoted in the country, they will definitely need to undergo a lot of revisions.
Of course, this job will be left to the three boys of Xinghuo. After they return to China, they will handle it as appropriate based on the actual situation.
He himself is only responsible for sowing seeds. After all, when it comes to the details of Chinese education at this moment, he may not be as good as the three of them.
Now, they have to study until 9 o'clock every night, and Li Qiwei feels distressed sometimes.
But there is no way. China does not have so much time to wait. Within twenty years, earth-shaking changes will occur.
However, twenty years is too short for what Li Qiwei is planning, so short that he has no confidence.
After all, he didn't have a system. If he wanted to set up a factory, people would fall from the sky with a ding, and materials could be exchanged at will.
Except for his advanced physics knowledge and historical experience, he is just an ordinary person. In terms of courage and charm, he cannot compare with the real boss.
But the timing of Li Qiwei's time travel is too good. If he appears in another 50 years, no matter how amazing your talent is, you will never be able to make waves.
Because at that time, the world structure was set, and there was no chance to make mistakes.
The third one is involved in the study of atomic structure.
Li Qiwei is now officially Thomson's doctor. With such high-end combat power joining him, Thomson will of course have to make the best use of it.
The Cavendish Laboratory is currently famous for its atomic research. Of course, the subjects of its masters and doctoral students are inseparable from this core.
Now that Rutherford was close to touching the nucleus, Ridgway felt it was necessary to add some fire to him, and the gold foil experiment could begin.
Next, basically any discovery is a Nobel Prize-level achievement.
Li Qiwei was already crying out of fantasy.
In the future, he will be the founder of two god-level theories, relativity and quantum mechanics, which is terrifying to think about.
It is estimated that even MacArthur doesn’t know how to evaluate him now.
The fourth one is making money and industrial layout.
With Philips as the core and the automobile industry as the two wings, it drives machinery, military industry, chemical industry, materials, etc. to form an industrial transformation plan.
Bringing the most critical industrial system to China in advance, of course, all of this will be left to the family to operate.
Based on Guangdong, it radiates to several surrounding provinces.
By building railway connections, a huge transportation network will be formed to realize the transshipment of oil, ore and other materials.
In the end, the family turned into a huge trust. As for how to prevent being targeted as a fat sheep.
Thinking about it, with the strength of his eldest brother and second brother, he can be safe in the early stage for the time being, but he will have to rely on himself in the later stage.
This is also the fifth most important point, the Science City Plan!
Li Qiwei now thinks about this huge plan every day when he has free time, and then writes it down on paper.
For example, where is the address, how big is the appropriate area, and what will be the daily security at that time?
He had a vague plan in his mind: the Double Dragon Cooperation Plan.
China is the real dragon, and the city of science is the hidden dragon.
By then, the City of Science will definitely be an independent political entity, but many things can be outsourced.
It is self-evident that the outsourcing target must be of the same language and race, so that the suspicion between the two parties can be eliminated.
To accomplish all the above things, the premise is that Li Qiwei must have absolute academic authority.
Through education, he wants to quickly awaken all Chinese people, turn it into nutrients, and penetrate into every capillary of this ancient country.
Therefore, Li Qiwei, who is out in the sea, has to climb up step by step until he becomes the god of physics!
Just when he was thinking about various things in his mind, he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder. He turned around and found that it was Raymond.
The other party was cautious, worried about disturbing Li Qiwei, "Hey, Bruce, I have an important message to tell you, but I saw that you have been distracted, so I interrupted you. I hope you don't mind."
Li Qiwei had already told you before. The incident was completely forgotten, and since that day, Raymond became low-key and honest in school and changed his ways.
"What's the matter, Raymond? Why haven't you graduated yet and are you still in school?"
Raymond scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Well... Professor Case thinks my thesis There are still some flaws, so let me revise it before submitting it."
Li Qiwei smiled knowingly and stopped asking, "What is it?"
Raymond looked around, and then said softly: "During your absence, Cecil brought a middle-aged Qing man here several times."
"I don't know what they were talking about. "What, but that Qing man seems to have ill intentions towards you, you'd better be careful yourself."
A cold light flashed in Li Qiwei's eyes, which made Raymond next to him tremble, and he remembered the fear of being dominated that day. .
Cecil actually hooked up with Luo Fuyu, the Qing ambassador to Britain. Both of them were deep-minded and cunning people.
There must be some conspiracy planned secretly.
But Li Qiwei is not afraid, he is no longer the rookie he was when he time traveled.
There are people under his command, his power has taken shape, and he has a very high reputation. It cannot be defeated by just some small tricks. However, this also reminded him that one Li San might not be enough to strengthen his own security force as soon as possible.
Li Qiwei already had a plan. In the name of training employees, he was going to ask his father to recruit experts from China and secretly fill in the gaps.
After arriving in the UK, he usually pretends to be a worker to hide his identity from others, but secretly he is his own bodyguard.
Soon, he regained his composure and said with a smile: "Raymon, thank you for reminding me. They are just a group of clowns who only dare to hide in the shadows."
Leymon said: "Well, Bruce , Just be prepared. Then I will leave and concentrate on correcting the paper."
Li Qiwei said goodbye to him, watched him go away, then shook his head and walked to the Cavendish Laboratory.
In Professor Thomson's office, Li Qiwei sat politely and communicated with Thomson. Both of them were in high spirits.
"Bruce, how does it feel to be a doctoral student? Is there any pressure?"
"Oh, for you, graduating with a Ph.D. is within your reach. I'm afraid you are the most relaxed Ph.D. student I have ever seen."
Li Qiwei smiled and said: "Professor, you are wrong about that. Anyone who dares to say it is easy under you, I am worried that you will give me a super difficult subject."
Thomson laughed when he heard this, "Bruce, in your eyes, you would think so. Is there anything difficult? This is not your usual style."
"However, when it comes to doctoral topics, I really need to hear your ideas. I have the following directions for you to choose from."
With that said, Thomson put away his jokes and introduced Li Qiwei seriously.
"The first one is the study of gas conductivity. This is also my main research direction. I already have a solid foundation. The electron was invented in this research."
"Now I need to discharge more gases Conduct research to explore their mechanisms, so there are many subdivided topics. "
"The second is the direction of electrons, and we can measure various properties of electrons in detail to understand their movement. Mechanism."
"You know, Wilson's job is to use instruments to record the trajectory of electrons, but this is not enough."
"What is the precise charge and mass of the electron? What is the essence; how to interact with matter, etc., are all good research directions. ”
"The third one is the radioactive direction. When I gave it to Rutherford, I didn't expect that he could do so well, and now he has surpassed the teacher."
Talking about Rutherford's achievements, Thomson was very proud because it proved that he had a keen eye for talent and was good at cultivating it.
Li Qiwei flattered Thomson appropriately.
“But the more we know, the more we are ignorant. Today, research on radioactivity is in full swing.”
“For example, are there other types of natural rays; what materials can emit rays? , what are the rules here; the application of rays, etc. ”
"By the way, there is another news. Rutherford's visit time is about to expire, and he will return to Canada soon."
Li Qiwei was shocked before he reacted.
It seems that historically Rutherford finally returned to the UK in 1907 and became a professor of physics at the University of Manchester, which was considered to be his own business.
Thinking about not seeing Shuai Lu in the next few years, Li Qiwei actually felt a little sad.
Seeing his reluctance, Thomson felt very happy. He had a good relationship with these students.
"As for the fourth direction, it is the study of the internal structure of atoms."
"Although Rutherford has made a start, he told me that his later research focus will still be on radioactivity."< br>
“The internal structure of atoms is his second direction. He told me that you seem to be very interested in this.”
“I personally think that the fourth direction is the most difficult. , It depends on Bruce whether you are willing to take the challenge. "
"Furthermore, no matter which of these four directions you choose, as long as you make breakthrough results, I will directly let you graduate with a doctorate, without having to think about it. Time.”
After Thomson finished talking about all the topics, Li Qiwei also took a deep breath and expressed a lot of emotion.
The results produced in any of these four directions, even if it is only a sub-topic, are Nobel Prize-level.
If someone could win them all, he might win more than a dozen Nobel Prizes, which would be terrifying.
So many physicists in later generations will feel that they were born at the wrong time, and that the projects that are easy to produce results and easy to do have been taken up by their predecessors.
No chance was left for future generations.
In fact, this statement is unreasonable, because from the perspective of later generations, although many results are indeed simple, they do not even require mathematical knowledge.
But you also have to consider the background of the times.
Today is still an era ruled by Newtonian mechanics. It is extremely difficult to break free from the shackles.
Not to mention, under extremely crude instrument conditions, various phenomena can be discovered creatively.
And many physicists risked their lives without knowing it, such as Röntgen and Marie Curie, who later suffered from the sequelae of radiation.
It can be said that powerful people will make great achievements no matter what age they are.
Even if Newton is sent to the 21st century, it is estimated that after three months of self-study, he will be able to beat countless people, at least in the direction of physics.
Of course, Li Qiwei is an exception.
Now he wanted to tell Thomson loudly, "I want them all, I want to kill ten of them."
Of course, he did not dare to commit suicide, so after some thinking, he said: " Professor, I choose the fourth direction.”
"Some people have already studied the previous directions. I don't like to follow others. I want to do some challenging work."
Thomson showed an expression that I knew and said with a smile: "It is indeed your style, Bruce. To be honest, I was actually worried that you would choose something else."
"As for the fourth direction, if you have any questions, you can also consult Rutherford, he I will definitely be happy to answer it for you.”
“I will give you two months to draft a rough idea of your topic and then submit it to me, and I will apply for funding at that time.”
Suddenly, Thomson teased again, "I heard that you boasted in your graduation defense that you will make millions of pounds soon. I'm afraid you won't care about the school anymore."
Ridgway was suddenly embarrassed and said with a smile: "Haha, Professor, that's what I encouraged myself to do, and if I really make money, I will definitely repay Cavendish."
"Uh." Thomson said slightly. Stunned, he swore that what he just said had absolutely no meaning. He didn't expect Li Qiwei to react like this.
“What a good student.”
While Thomson and Li Qiwei were discussing their doctoral projects, a piece of news spread crazily throughout the global physics community.
The Nobel Prize is coming!
The first order is not strong enough, readers, please support me greatly!
