Chapter 104 Wireless transoceanic communication shocked the world!
After waking up the next day, Ridgway felt refreshed and smooth all over.
The nearly hour-long battle last night made him even wonder if there was something wrong with him.
Before time travel, I usually found derivatives very quickly. It seems that this is a benefit brought by time travel. I am afraid it is the default parameter.
He got out of bed carefully, and then covered Xianglan with a quilt.
With nearly 30 years of accumulated skills in her previous life, the little girl is probably exhausted. She is still sleeping soundly. I wonder if she can still walk normally today.
Looking at the bright red on the sheets, he knew that he now had an extra responsibility on his shoulders.
Before he had time to put on his clothes, "Woo." Suddenly a squeaking sound sounded, and Li Qiwei discovered that Xiang Lan was awake.
He quickly sat down on the edge of the bed and wiped the corners of the other person's mouth, "Why don't you sleep more? Does it still hurt?"
Xiang Lan lowered her head shyly when she heard this. I don’t know how to describe how I felt last night, as if I had been floating in the clouds.
"I still have to get up to serve the young master, and if they find out I'm lying on the bed, they will definitely laugh at me."
Although Xianglan felt a dull pain down there, she could still bear it, with a hint of sweetness at the corner of her mouth, and a warm current flowing through her. .
From now on, she truly belongs to the young master.
Li Qiwei touched her hair and said softly: "Then don't work too hard today and take a rest."
"Yes." Xiang Lan responded obediently.
Soon, Xiang Lan got dressed, and then helped Li Qiwei to dress. During the process, he accidentally bumped into Li Qiwei again, and she reacted immediately.
Li Qiwei looked at Xiang Lan's shocked and ashamed expression and was very proud.
After he went out, he happened to meet Wang Luyao, so he pretended that nothing had happened and greeted him warmly, "Lu Yao, did you sleep well after drinking last night."
Wang Luyao smiled He teased: "I don't know if I slept well or not, but someone must have slept well."
Li Qiwei immediately touched his nose and walked away with a guilty conscience. Behind him, Wang Luyao covered his mouth and smiled.
He knew clearly in his heart that it seemed that the little witch knew what happened last night.
For a moment, he didn't know whether to be happy or overjoyed. It was very exciting just thinking about it.
Schools and laboratories are now on holiday, and school will not start until early January, so it is rare for Li Qiwei to take a break.
Just when he thought that 1901 would pass by like this, an explosive news suddenly shocked the whole world.
Just after Christmas on December 26, the Times published bombshell news.
The front page spent a lot of space reporting on one thing: Italian engineer Marconi's transoceanic wireless communication test was a complete success!
Since the last meeting of young scholars in Brussels, Marconi was ready to start experiments when he returned and received Li Qiwei's theory confirmation.
He transmitted radio waves in Porthugh, Cornwall, England, and then received the signals on a radio station in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada.
The two places are separated by an entire Atlantic Ocean, a distance of about 3,500 kilometers.
In Marconi's expectant eyes, the result was just as Ridgway predicted, the radio station finally made a "ticking" sound.
This shows that radio signals really successfully cross the curved surface of the earth through some kind of reflecting surface high in the sky.
This result strongly proves that global wireless communication is just around the corner.
And no longer need to lay expensive cables, communication over the sea will be possible.
This achievement simply made everyone in the world crazy, far eclipsing the first Nobel Prize.
The world structure will even change as a result.
Marconi believed so much in Ridgway that he even invited reporters from The Times to follow him when he went to Canada.
Let them witness the birth of a great miracle together.
Marconi was a businessman after all, and he knew that as long as he publicized this matter through newspapers, his company would become a household name in the future.
The title of "Father of Radio Communications" will also be placed on his head, although he was not the first person to use wireless communications.
Today, the experiment was a great success.
Marconi instantly became famous, and his research had huge application value and potential in both the military and civilian fields.
Many countries and giant companies are already preparing to enter radio and want a piece of the pie.
In the subsequent exclusive interview with The Times, Marconi made even more astonishing remarks.
Editor-in-Chief Bakker: "Mr. Marconi, as far as I know, conducting experiments between the UK and Canada at the same time will cost a lot of money and material resources."
"It was originally What belief supports you that this experiment will be successful? ”
Marconi: "To be honest, at the beginning of this year, I was already thinking about transoceanic wireless communications."
"But the theory shows that this experiment is doomed to fail. I even thought I went to the university to consult some physics experts and came to the same conclusion. "
"I was pessimistically thinking that wireless communication might only be used as a toy and could not be commercialized."
< br>Editor-in-Chief Bakker: "Oh? What finally made you change your mind?"
"I think it must be an irresistible reason."
Marconi: "Because I attended a conference in August this year, I have to say that it was probably the luckiest moment in my life."
"It was there that I met my noble man .”
Editor-in-Chief Bakker: “Oh, can you elaborate?”
Marconi: “On August 30, I participated in the first Brussels Young Scholars of Physics. Exchange meeting. "
"It was organized by Mr. Bruce Lee, the first Nobel Prize winner in physics, and sponsored by Mr. Solvay, a Belgian industrialist. ""Oh, of course, Bruce Lee had not won it at that time. Nobel Prize, otherwise I might not be invited, hahaha.”
“At the meeting, I raised the problem of wireless transoceanic communication, and some other physicists present were at a loss.”
“Although they also gave me some alternative suggestions, But it is very troublesome to implement, and it may not be as good as wired cables."
"Just when I want to give up completely and no longer wish that wireless can replace wired ones."
"Bruce Lee. Standing up, he was like a light, completely illuminating the darkness in my soul.”
"No one can understand my mood at that time, it was like meeting a god."
Baker was surprised when he heard this, and it turned out to be Bruce Lee again, as if he was everywhere in the physics world.
Nowadays even radio has something to do with the other party.
Marconi: "Through physical theoretical calculations, he boldly predicted that there are special substances high in the earth's sky that can reflect electromagnetic waves."
"He firmly believed that wireless Communication can span the globe! ”
"To be honest, I didn't understand his calculations at the time because it was too complicated."
"But his calm tone, deep eyes, and exquisite formulas convinced me on the spot. That’s the charm of a top physicist.”
“You all know what happened next.”
“The actual results are exactly the same as his theoretical predictions.”
“Even the intensity consumption of electromagnetic waves after passing through the reflective layer has been calculated by his theory, which is basically consistent.”
"Except for the word amazing, I really can't find any other better words to describe him."
"Here, I would like to use your newspaper to say to Bruce Lee: Radio communication needs thanks Your contribution. ”
“Without your guidance, wireless global communications may have to wait for several more decades.”
Wow!
When Marconi’s interview was published verbatim in the newspapers, everyone was shocked again.
The name Bruce Lee seems to have magic power. Any major breakthrough in physical theory and application has his shadow behind it.
Marconi's wireless communication and the recently popular tungsten filament light bulb are said to be patents of the other party.
Not to mention that he himself was the winner of the first Nobel Prize in Physics.
For a time, the Nobel Prize, which had been suppressed by Marconi, was once again pushed into the news headlines because of Li Qiwei, and was talked about by countless people.
Many parents even beat their children to get them to start learning physics from an early age.
When you grow up, you can be like Li Qiwei and make research results that change the world.
After Li Qiwei read these newspapers at home, he was immediately worshiped crazily by Wang Luyao and others.
Brother Li has become a mythical figure in their eyes.
After all, he can guide others to invent wind ears, isn’t he still a god?
Being publicly praised by Marconi and held in such high esteem, Li Qiwei had to respond and express his gratitude.
As a result, Li Qiwei’s signature paper was published on the cover of the latest issue of Nature magazine.
The opening sentences are: There is no doubt that Mr. Marconi’s great achievements are scientific achievements of the Nobel Prize level in physics.
Although it is not a breakthrough in basic physics theory, as an application-level technology, its impact even goes beyond theory.
I am ashamed that I only did a small amount of work and do not deserve such a big praise.
Boom!
This moment instantly lifted Marconi to a whole new level.
As we all know, the current Nobel Prize in Physics has already established its supreme status in the field of physics through the blessing of the award ceremony.
As long as you win the Nobel Prize, it means that your achievements are breakthrough and world-class.
And the Nobel Prize is awarded regardless of status, whether you are a student, a professor, or an engineer, you will only be judged as a hero based on your academic achievements!
So, as the winner of the first Nobel Prize in Physics, Li Qiwei’s words may have little influence in other fields.
But in the field of physics, his words are edict and the guiding light for all physics practitioners!
He said that if wireless communication can win the Nobel Prize, then there is a high probability that it will be won.
Countless people envy chicken purple.
Perhaps Marconi can be seen at the next few Nobel Prize award ceremonies.
At the same time, everyone was also admired by Li Qiwei's humility.
Obviously his theory played a key role, even the parties involved admitted this.
He himself thinks it is insignificant, which shows his excellent character.
Poor foreigners, how do they understand the differences between Eastern and Western cultures?
Self-deprecation is the greatest compliment!
Next, Li Qiwei elaborated on his idea of the existence of an ionosphere high above the Earth in a brief paper.
His unintentional move advanced formal research on atmospheric science by more than ten years.
This also led to the early conception and emergence of various aircraft in the future.
