Chapter 257: The pretense is over and the cheating begins!
Li Qiwei’s speech has just begun.
However, his two questions had already broken the defenses of everyone in the auditorium.
Whether you are a student or a professor, whether you are a physics major or another major.
At this moment, everyone felt the scientific research quality of top scientists.
Many people silently find shortcomings in themselves.
As the only Nobel laureate present, Michelson was very satisfied.
Even if Li Qiwei said nothing later, this speech was still a success.
Because his goal was achieved.
Li Qiwei profoundly influenced the research attitude of American scholars, and also demonstrated the top elegance of European physics.
I believe that from now on, the United States will definitely pay more attention to the development of theoretical science.
Therefore, he cast a grateful look at Li Qiwei.
Li Qiwei smiled back, and then continued: "Well, it seems that my opening remarks were not bad, at least I didn't make you doze off."
Everyone laughed.
“I am a person who does not like preaching, so my speeches never instill values.”
"I only like to talk about my own feelings and experiences."
"Before today, Professor Michelson has been keeping in touch with me through letters."
"He especially hopes that I can talk about it, For an individual, what is the most important quality for doing good physics research?"
"For a country, how to improve its scientific innovation capabilities?"
"Exactly these two questions. Everyone has their own experience.”
"I know that most of you here want to know what is so special about me, Bruce."
"How can I, a Qing native, achieve so much in the field of science."
"This is also the purpose of your coming here today."
Everyone in the auditorium nodded, obviously very curious.
Li Qiwei's performance just now has completely conquered them and shattered some rumors.
Before Li Qiwei came, many Americans spread rumors that Li Qiwei's deeds were all blown out.
It was the Europeans who deliberately promoted a person in order to show their strength.
However, these rumors have now been disproven.
“In your eyes, I, Bruce, am the number one genius in physics today.”
“It seems that I don’t need any effort, I can create all kinds of things by just sitting in the room and just writing. A theory that shocked the world of physics ”
"However, what I want to say is that this idea is completely wrong and is a prejudice and conjecture about me."
"The hard work and sweat I put in are no worse than my genius."< br>
The villain in Li Qiwei’s head: You fart! You are the hardest working on other things.
“I know that the inventor king of your country, Mr. Edison, said something.”
“He said: Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration, but that 1% Inspiration is far more important than 99% of sweat.”
"I don't know what everyone here thinks of this sentence."
"But I personally don't agree with what he said."
Wow!
Li Qiwei’s words immediately caused a commotion in the audience.
Edison is a well-known figure in the United States.
But Americans themselves have mixed reviews of him.
Those who support him believe that his invention brought the latest technology to the United States and improved American life.
There are even many calls for Edison to win the Nobel Prize in Physics.
However, the old men in Sweden have never agreed.
Those who oppose him think that he is a black-hearted capitalist who often deducts employees' wages.
Most of his countless inventions were not his own, but were appropriated as his own in various ways.
The most classic one is the feud between Tesla and Edison.
Although Li Qiwei's words did not comment on Edison's achievements.
But those present still classified him as an opponent.
After all, he objected to what Edison had said.
It was because of this sentence that someone became angry.
“I think for success, for physics research, there is never one quality that is most important.”
“Talent, hard work, opportunity, mentors, environment, physical health, etc. ”
“Human strength is a manifestation of comprehensive quality.”
“Every factor is crucial to the final result.”
"We cannot separate a certain condition alone and then evaluate which is more important than the remaining factors."
"This is just a mathematical and conceptual game, and for the physical research itself It’s meaningless.”
“The only thing we can do is to push things to the limit and use the qualities we have to the limit.”
“Let me give you a few examples.”
"My good friend, Dr. Wilson of the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University."
"He cannot be called a gifted physicist."
"The cloud chamber he invented is not an extremely sophisticated physical experimental equipment."
"But he did not let that happen. Instead of being discouraged and wallowing in the pain of not having talent."
"But one step at a time, making the most of your efforts."
"Follow the latest research and give it to Yunshi. Add various functions ”
"He can't control his talent, but he can control the combination of machinery and push it to the limit."
"I once told him that his instrument will definitely play an important role in the future and win the Nobel Prize." . ”
“Accept what we don’t have and develop what we have.”
Boom!
Li Qiwei’s words shocked those present.
Wilson and Tiandou's courage also impressed everyone.
In fact, this kind of deed is the most sympathetic to the public.
Because there are only a few geniuses in the world, and the vast majority of people are ordinary people.
A story about achievement through hard work can arouse people's interest more.
Looking at Li Qiwei, any achievement he achieved was taken for granted in the eyes of others.
Because you are a genius.
Like a competition in later generations, those students from prestigious schools won first and second place and people will not be surprised and admired.
Because in everyone’s impression, this is how they should be.
But if a technical secondary school student surpasses countless students from prestigious schools and gets the twelfth place in one fell swoop, it will definitely cause a sensation.
Because this kind of thing is so uncommon.
It brings hope to those ordinary people.
Although this hope is very slim, as long as it exists, it is enough to bring tears to the eyes.
At this time, Li Qiwei continued: "There is also my doctoral student, Master Qian."
"I believe you all know the recent superconducting paper."
"This is undoubtedly a great physical discovery."
"But because Qian Wushi didn't do his best, he almost missed this achievement."
"From 4.3K to 4.2K, there seems to be no difference."
"But For those who pursue excellence, any small change requires endless efforts.”
“So, this is my opinion on Professor Michelson’s first point.”
“Don’t get hung up on those grand concepts.”
"You can't control any factors. All you can control is yourself."
"Use your best to do things to the extreme."
Wow!
Thunderous applause erupted in the auditorium.
Some people even stood up and clapped.
Li Qiwei really said it very well.
It’s too analyzing of people’s hearts.
Li Qiwei neither exaggerated the role of talent nor the role of hard work. He also did not say that efforts will definitely lead to success.
But it is only recommended to do things to the extreme.
This is completely different from the chicken soup that students usually come into contact with.
Li Qiwei looked at everyone with a smile on his face, thinking how much chicken soup you had just drank.
He complained in his heart: Damn, I almost believed it myself.
No matter how talented you are, no matter how hard you work, in this era, you are destined to be cannon fodder.
No matter how amazing and talented you are, or how sleepless and forgetful you are.
In front of my soul in future generations, they are all worth mentioning.
Hey!
Then, Li Qiwei shared his insights on national scientific innovation.
“I think the most important thing for innovation at the national level is communication.”
“Europe is now the center of science, and it is its own entity.”
"To put it bluntly, Europe not only looks down on Chinese science, but also looks down on American science."
At this point, almost everyone present nodded along and was filled with indignation.
They are indeed despised by Europe in terms of theoretical science.
Almost all the scholars who come to the United States from Europe come to get gold plating, stay for a few years and then go back.
Such as Richardson.
This makes the United States extremely helpless.
Because I can’t keep people no matter what.
“So, I think China can have more exchanges with the United States in the field of science.”
“Today, China’s higher education, with my promotion, has achieved good results. ."
"Chongsu, he is the epitome of domestic scientific talents."
"We are not worse than the Europeans, we just lost at the starting line."
"The United States has Professor Michelson, Professor Millikan, and elites like you here."
"Why? You will be inferior to the Europeans."
"As long as we work together, maybe the center of science will shift to the United States and China in the next few decades."
"By then. , that is, Europeans come to study with us.”
boom!
Li Qiwei’s words made the people present excited.
There is a tragic feeling of mortals uniting to defeat the gods.
At least in terms of theoretical science, the United States and China have the same aspirations.
Everyone is far behind and needs development.
Michelson looked at Li Qiwei excitedly. Today's harvest was really great.
With this speech.
In the future, he will have even less resistance to promoting scientific progress in the United States.
Of course Li Qiwei also has his own little Jiujiu.
Michelson must have invited him here for the development of the United States.
Naturally, Li Qiwei would not be taken advantage of, and he would not be rewarded by just doing his best.
Give Americans free benefits.
Although a few bowls of chicken soup don't mean anything, if they are not kept in full, it will spur a few talents.
So, Li Qiwei also wants to benefit from the United States.
He wants to deceive the United States.
This is his biggest goal in coming to the United States this time.
Speeches and business cooperation are all incidental.
In the next few years, there will be chaos in the country, and Li Qiwei is worried about the situation in the education field.
Whether his policies can continue to be implemented is uncertain.
So, he wants to drag the United States into the water.
Use the tiger skin as a banner.
Scientific research cooperation with the United States and academic exchanges with universities are one of them.
He doesn’t care about other fields, at least he can’t mess with education.
With the participation of Americans, at least there is an extra layer of protection.
It's a bit sad to say, but it's the truth.
Li Qiwei is not arrogant.
When you are weak, you must use all available power.
Although the United States is not as good as Europe, its resources are far beyond those of Europe.
But now in China, what is lacking is precisely these basic resources.
Li Qiwei believes that with input from the United States, domestic education will surely flourish.
When China's foundation is established, it will be an era for him to make a fortune.
The United States also needs to be its little brother.
Soon, Li Qiwei’s speech ended.
The auditorium finally burst into lasting applause.
Today’s speech allowed everyone to see the style of Li Qiwei and the style of China.
In the eyes of these Westerners, China is no longer ignorant, but has unlimited potential.
Li Qiwei, Qian Wushi, and Chongsu were no worse than Europeans at all, and even far exceeded them.
Strength is the only way to win respect.
Just as Ridgway was about to step down, suddenly, Woodrow, who had been silent, stood up and quickly walked to the stage.
He smiled and said: "Bruce, wait a moment, please allow me to give you a surprise next."
Li Qiwei was a little puzzled and wondered what you were going to do.
At this time, Woodrow gestured behind the podium.
A hot blonde girl walked towards the two of them with a smile on her face, holding a certificate in her hands.
Li Qiwei stared straight at the blonde. The thing in his hand looked so big.
Woodrow smiled and said: "Bruce, upon the unanimous decision of the school board of directors, on behalf of Princeton University, I officially grant you the title of honorary professor."
"I hope you can accept it and become a part of Princeton University."
The sudden little surprise made Li Qiwei a little unexpected.
He had decided on 20 professor titles, but he didn’t expect to get one of them so quickly.
I saw him calmly taking the certificate of honor from the girl's hand, smiling and saying: "Thank you Princeton University for the surprise."
"To be honest, I didn't expect you to be so solemn."
Woodrow smiled and said: "I think any university in the United States would welcome talents like you, Professor Bruce."
Just kidding, he is just an honorary professor and does not need to pay a salary.
And maybe we can borrow a little bit of Li Qiwei's fame to improve the university's own strength. People at Princeton University are not stupid.
However, everyone knows this kind of thing tacitly.
Li Qiwei originally thought that his goal was a bit difficult.
Looking at it this way, as long as he is willing to travel all the way from the United States, he should be able to get it together quickly.
At this point, today’s arrangements are officially over.
Those students and teachers are rushing back.
Everyone is still satisfied.
The excitement of today’s speech exceeded everyone’s expectations.
And Li Qiwei's name will also be completely resounding throughout the United States as they spread.
What a real Bruce Lee is like has satisfied the curiosity of countless people.
In addition to Li Qiwei’s speech today, there will be higher-level meetings next.
His pretentious academic exchange trip has just begun.
