Chapter 145: The Luxurious Doctoral Defense Committee
Time flies by and the year 1903 arrives in the blink of an eye.
On the first day of the New Year, Li Qiwei and everyone gathered together, and Hu Xizhong and Sheng Jingran rarely came back.
Everyone ate and drank happily, thinking about various lives after returning to China.
Li Qiwei personally toasted to Hu Sheng and the two of them, which made them flattered and stood up quickly.
"You two have worked hard during this period."
"Especially Brother Shanda, who will stay in the UK alone to expand our business."
" I propose that we toast Brother Sheng together.”
At this time, Wang Luyao also added: “Thanks to Brother Sheng for teaching me business matters, I can run a ceramic trading company successfully.”
"When I return to China, I hope you, Shanda, can help me take care of the company."
So, everyone stood up.
Faced with the respect of the Third Young Master and the Third Young Madam, there is also the kindness of others.
Sheng Jingran was a little excited, and he said sincerely: "Third Young Master, please don't say that."
"Being able to stay in the UK is a personal training for me."< br>
“I feel like I have learned more in this year than I did in the previous thirty years. It turns out that the outside world is so wonderful.”
"Thank you, Third Young Master, for giving me this opportunity!"
"Thank you, Third Young Master, for trusting me!"
"Thank you to everyone here for helping me."
said After finishing, Sheng Jingran drank all the wine in the glass.
And his words also made other people look moved. It was obvious that Li Qiwei had changed their original dull destiny.
Xiang Lan and Li San are no longer ordinary maid guards, but half relatives of Li Qiwei.
Especially the three of them, Xinghuo, were completely transformed. Their vision was much higher than before.
Now that they are back in China, they will look at problems from a completely different perspective than before.
And I also understand how important what I am about to do is for the nation and the country.
It can be said that Li Qiwei brought them to a height that was not theirs and allowed them to see this wonderful world clearly.
At Sheng Jingran's suggestion, everyone toasted to Li Qiwei together.
Li Qiwei looked at his small group and was filled with emotions.
Although there are only nine people including him now, a solid foundation has been laid for the future career.
And all of this was accomplished under his command.
Thinking of this, Li Qiwei couldn't help but feel proud.
In just three years, he has achieved so much, which is enough to have a clear conscience.
And he firmly believes that the future will be full of more challenges and more exciting.
In the joy of returning home, everyone drank more and more happily, and finally they were all drunk.
On January 15, 1903, after the start of the semester at Cambridge University, there were suddenly more notices on the campus.
Many students stepped forward to take a look and discovered that it was actually Bruce Lee's doctoral defense notice.
Countless teachers and students sighed in their hearts that the physics genius was finally graduating with a Ph.D.
Before, he was still a student who had not graduated with a Ph.D., but his published physics results surpassed most of the professors.
This makes many people feel very awkward and weird.
I always feel that such a genius should not still be a student, but should have a professor title anyway.
And now, this man of god is finally getting rid of his status as a student.
After graduating with a doctorate, with his achievements, becoming a professor is more than enough.
It is estimated that any university in the world would be willing to hire him as a physics professor.
I really envy others. As the business card of Cambridge University, Li Qiwei's every move attracted much attention.
His doctoral defense will naturally be very grand.
It can be seen from the list of the defense committee alone that it is super luxurious.
Although doctoral graduation is an internal matter of Cambridge, senior people from foreign universities are generally not invited.
But the big guys from the UK and the Commonwealth alone made this doctoral defense meeting star-studded.
When Li Qiwei returned to campus, he also saw the status of his defense.
He showed a wry smile. It seemed that this time it would be like the last undergraduate defense, which attracted everyone's attention.
But now his status is different, and no one will deliberately embarrass him anymore.
He looked towards the defense notice, the title was: Bruce Lee’s PhD Thesis Defense.
Topic: Research on the use of alpha particles to bombard gold foil to explore the internal structure of atoms
Respondent: Bruce Lee
Instructor: Professor Joseph Thomson
Defense Committee:
Chairman: John Strutt (Lord Rayleigh), Professor
Member:
William Thomson (Lord Kelvin), Professor, Glasgow University
Ernest Rutherford, Professor, McGill University
Henry Bragg, Professor, University of Adelaide
Date of defense: January 20, 1903
Place of defense: Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge
See After finishing the list, Li Qiwei smiled slightly.
Only he knows that four of the five members of the defense committee are future Nobel Prize winners in physics.
Even now, they are all successful and respected professors.
In this era, the value of professors cannot be overstated.
Even academicians are not as good as professors, because some people who are not professors can be rated as academicians.
The status of academician was not gradually elevated until later generations, becoming a title that completely surpassed that of professor.
If Li Qiwei is willing, he can even invite Planck, Roentgen, Lorenz and others.
But that doesn't mean much, and it will make him appear too arrogant.
And if these people come, what do the British physicists think?
Academic research is not about boring research, but also requires a little bit of sophistication.
As a man who aspires to become an academic leader, Li Qiwei's method is to maintain close and friendly relationships with all academic leaders.
No matter how awesome a person is, there is only a limit to what he can accomplish. Only a group of people can create a great cause.
When Ridgway arrived at Cavendish, he was immediately called over by Thomson.
Thomson looked very happy and beaming.
Three of his students, Rutherford, Bruce, and Wilson, became famous in the world of physics.
Some people began to give him the title of educator.
Not only is he knowledgeable, but he is also able to teach so many outstanding students. As a professor, there is no greater compliment than this.
Thomson has been very busy recently because people keep inviting him to give lectures and introduce educational experience.
In addition to universities, even some well-known middle schools have sent invitations.
Thomson was tired and happy. He finally understood why Wilson liked to go outside.
That’s because looking at a group of people in the audience who envy and admire you will make anyone obsessed with this feeling.
"Bruce, your doctoral defense this time can be said to be the most grand defense in Cambridge's history."
"At that time, in addition to the people from the committee, many members of the Royal Society will also come."
"You have to perform well!"
After Thomson's introduction, he I know that my graduation defense is indeed very impressive.
