Chapter 213 The whole world invites Li Qiwei, just for one place to participate
Since Li Qiwei called for the organization of the first blues conference, he has never been idle again.
Physicists from various countries invited him to conduct academic visits and deliver speeches in the name of school exchanges.
The true purpose is obvious.
Even Nagaoka Hantaro from Sakura Country sent a telegram with sincere words.
Nagaoka was very self-aware and did not invite Li Qiwei to give lectures at Tokyo Imperial University, which was unrealistic.
However, after flattering Li Qiwei in the telegram, he hinted in a very subtle and shameful way that he wanted to receive an invitation to the first blues conference.
Nowadays, there is no physicist or physicist in the world who does not care about this conference.
If Nagaoka is qualified to participate, he will definitely be the number one person in academic circles after returning to China, and his status will never be shaken.
So, one can imagine his mood, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
In response to this, Li Qiwei only wanted to reply to him with three words: I want to eat shit.
But in the end I replied formally: Your research is quite interesting.
There is only Nagaoka in Asia, but many people in Europe invite him.
Many of them have a certain relationship with Li Qiwei, which makes him worried about happiness.
Being too famous is not a good thing!
Still, Ridgway decided to visit the person he felt he needed to see.
So, for the next month, Gregory and others worked tirelessly to research and organize the papers.
And their dear Professor Bruce went on a public trip on the grounds of academic visit.
For this, Vice-President Karp of King’s College London expressed full support.
Now Karp is very glad that he went to find Thomson, and he is also very fortunate that Thomson recommended Bruce here.
The other party had only come to King's College for a few months, and he had already caused such a big thing.
In the field of science around the world, who doesn’t know the name of King’s College London?
In the past, almost no one outside of the UK knew about this school.
However, now, many exchange groups from other schools come to King's College for exchange visits every day.
Even other departments also benefited from it.
After all, the influence of this ultra-high-end physics conference has not been limited to the physics circle, but has radiated to the entire education field and even the political field.
Garp is so tired that he can’t breathe every day, but he is still very happy.
Because fame means status, and status means funding.
When he goes to the Education Appropriations Committee to beg alms now, his waist is even straighter.
He also experienced the refreshing feeling of Caldwell, the former Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge University.
Karp held Li Qiwei's hand and said coquettishly:
"Professor Bruce, I hope you will go out to communicate more, promote the educational culture of our King's College, and attract more outstanding talents to join us."
< br>"Young talents like Bohr and others are what our school is in urgent need of."
The more places Li Qiwei goes, the more people will know about King's College.
Li Qiwei accepted seven doctoral students in one breath. In Karp's eyes, it was like treating King's College as his home.
Give diligently and responsibly, instead of being like some professors who just want to use the school's resources for free and don't want to take any students with them.
Li Qiwei silently pulled out his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Principal, don't worry, I won't ruin the reputation of our King's College."
"Bohr boys, this paragraph I will be busy with meetings, and I hope the school can show more care."
Karp laughed and said loudly, "Oh, Professor Bruce, don't worry, I won't let the heroes down."< br>
He was eager for Ridgwick to make demands.
Making a request means that you want to stay here, and saying nothing means that you are disappointed and want to leave.
If Li Qiwei suddenly decides to leave now, Karp feels that he will definitely be sprayed to death by the school management committee.
After giving instructions to several of his doctoral students, Li Qiwei embarked on the road of tourism and academic exchange under the protection of Li San.
Several Nobel Prize winners must be met alone.
When people publicly post messages to support themselves, Li Qiwei must treat them with courtesy.
Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark.
Li Qiwei traveled almost all over Europe.
Thanks to the fact that he had walked there several times before, he was familiar with the road this time, so he saved a lot of time.
Everywhere he went, Li Qiwei received a warm welcome.
The teachers and students in the school all stared at this legendary physicist with wide eyes.
A casual move by the other party can bring about a collective climax in the physics community.
Especially admired by the young students.
I feel that if I can achieve this level of academics, I will have no regrets in my life.
Li Qiwei did not live up to the hospitality. He not only delivered passionate speeches everywhere he went, but also communicated with each other.
But when someone asked him who he would invite, Li Qiwei just laughed and avoided talking.
This aroused everyone's curiosity.
In addition to Europe, Professor Michelson from the United States also sent a gorgeous invitation letter.
Li Qiwei could only apologize for this, he really didn't have time to pass.
In this era, the only way to go from England to the United States is by boat.
Departing from London, depending on the ship, it takes about 10 days to reach the United States.
It lasts for twenty days, and if there is any small problem in the middle, it will be gone in a month.
However, he stated in his reply that he would definitely go to the United States and make a special visit then.
Li Qiwei didn’t say any kind words this time.
He will definitely go to the United States, and will even take Zhang Maodong with him. This is related to his next plan.
Due to the dividends of the two world wars, the United States suddenly emerged and became the world's most powerful country.
Countless large companies have also emerged.
There are countless wealth and resources there.
An important aspect of the rise of the United States was that it recruited most of the scientists in the world at that time.
Provide them with an excellent living environment. In that war-torn era, this was extremely rare.
Li Qiwei is even considering whether his city of science can also learn from the United States.
When the war broke out, he called on scientists from all over the world to take refuge there and harvest American wool.
So, no matter what, he has to go to the United States to see for himself what kind of style there is in this era.
Now, he is still concentrating on running Europe.
The last stop of this academic exchange is Switzerland.
Swiss physicists headed by Einstein gathered at the University of Bern to welcome Li Qiwei's arrival.
Even Grossman came over.
He graduated with his PhD from Hilbert two years ago and is now an associate professor of mathematics at ETH Zurich.
The trio used to be young, energetic and high-spirited, but now they are all successful and respected professors.
Li Qiwei was filled with emotion, shook hands with Einstein and Grossman vigorously, and then headed to the conference room surrounded by everyone.
Einstein introduced Li Qiwei to the few people who greeted him.
“This is Professor Weber from ETH Zurich.”
Li Qiwei nodded. This was Einstein’s mentor when he first met him. He didn’t pay attention to him later. Academically, Einstein had a bad relationship with him.
It seems that the two have reconciled now.
“This is Professor Kleiner from the University of Zurich and my supervisor during my PhD.”
This person can be said to be the first person to make mistakes and miss a peerless genius.
“This is Dr. Guillaume, Director of the International Bureau of Weights and Measures.”
Li Qiwei became a little interested when he heard this person.
Because Guillaume won the 1920 Nobel Prize in Physics.
However, his research results are worth pondering.
The reason for the Nobel Prize is: on the importance of the discovery of nickel-iron alloys for precision measurements in physics.
This guy’s research direction is the properties of various alloys.
He discovered a nickel-iron alloy with a thermal expansion coefficient close to zero. It is also a metal material with high strength, corrosion resistance, and antimagnetic properties.
It has similarities with the 1912 Nobel Prize in Physics for the invention of automatic regulating valves used to control gas accumulators in lighthouses and buoys.
One of the very few Nobel Prizes is awarded to applied results rather than breakthrough theories or phenomena.
As for whether this achievement is worthy of a Nobel Prize, everyone can only express his or her own opinion.
After everyone present greeted Li Qiwei one by one, friendly academic exchanges began.
During this period, Professor Kleiner felt complicated when he saw Einstein and Li Qiwei chatting and laughing there.
In the past, he was very unfavorable to Einstein, thinking that the student was stubborn and rigid and did not know how to adapt.
Unexpectedly, in just a few years, the other party has grown to this extent.
He even became friends with Bruce as equals.
It is not at all what the outside world has said. Einstein took advantage of Bruce.
Einstein relied entirely on his own strength to publish many blockbuster papers.
Even he will soon become a professor instead of an associate professor.
Einstein should definitely receive an invitation to this physics conference.
Kleiner had mixed feelings. He was not sure whether he would receive the invitation, but he was too embarrassed to ask directly.
But Weber is different. This big boss is outspoken and has nothing to hide.
"Professor Bruce, how many people from Switzerland can go to this physics conference?"
As soon as he finished asking, the people present immediately held their breath, obviously very concerned about the results. .
Li Qiwei did not expect Weber to be so direct.
No wonder he had a conflict with Einstein. If two powder kegs are together, something will happen easily.
"Professor Weber, I am still collecting specific information."
"Please rest assured that I will not miss any important results worthy of research."
Li Qiwei said it very tactfully. People present also knew that such things could not be said in advance, so they had to give up.
But I don’t know what I’m thinking.
After the exchange meeting, Li Qiwei called Einstein and Grossman alone. The three of them got together in the coffee shop where they first met to chat about their experiences over the years.
When they talked about some interesting things during the period, the three laughed loudly, which attracted other people in the cafe to look at them.
“These three people are really good at bragging, and they easily win Nobel Prizes and millions of assets.”
Soon, the three of them talked about recent academic developments.
Einstein took a sip of coffee and asked with a smile: "Bruce, tell us the truth, where is your general theory of relativity?"
Grossman also teased: "Nothing to be embarrassed to say. If you encounter any mathematical problems, just tell me and I will help you."
"I am terrible at mathematics now."
< br>Li Qiwei didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and then said in a deceptive way: “It’s just the last bit.”
“During the years when I returned to China, I would lock myself in my room and think every night.”
Einstein and Grossman were moved by Li Qiwei's focus and seriousness, and they deserved to win the Nobel Prize.
What the two of them didn't know was that Li Qiwei did lock himself in his room at night, but instead of studying the theory of relativity, he was studying one dragon playing two phoenixes.
Einstein said expectantly: "I hope that after this meeting, it will bring you inspiration and allow you to take the final step."
Li Qiwei smiled and raised his hand. Cup: "To the future!"
After one and a half months of academic exchange, Li Qiwei returned to the UK.
He declined all invitations and was busy preparing for the first blues conference at King's College.
The content compiled by Gregory and others is about to be completed.
The next step is the exciting meeting invitation.
Everyone in the physics community is looking forward to it!
