Chapter 298 The "Scientific Dynasty" of the Curie family!
When Li Qiwei received the message from Sheng Jingran, the press conference that shocked the United States also spread to Europe.
Suddenly Europe was also excited.
The competition between Li Qiwei and Edison had an impact not just in the United States.
That was a bet that shocked the world.
Both are among the top names in science.
It even vaguely represents the battle between European academic physics and American applied physics.
This is not a trivial matter, but a major matter of face.
As a European colony, the United States was the standard little brother. Now it suddenly became the master and started to go crazy.
According to the latest data, the economic aggregate of the United States has surpassed that of the United Kingdom and Germany, ranking first in the world.
This makes the established European countries a little unhappy.
It’s like someone who used to bully you suddenly becomes so awesome and starts to provoke you.
How can I bear it?
Europeans have long regarded Li Qiwei as their wealth.
I believe that the other party grew up in Europe, and what he has learned throughout his life is the accumulation of European science and culture.
It also cultivated local European elites such as Bohr, Chris, and Gregory.
So he represents European science.
The results are very gratifying, and the United States is indeed vulnerable.
The famous battery comparison chart also spread.
Without comparison, there is no harm.
The greater Edison's reputation, the worse his defeat this time.
A novel launch conference, zinc-manganese batteries of excellent quality, one battery can make millions of pounds.
These news were like a hurricane, spreading throughout Europe in an instant, and were picked up by countless People talk about it.
Because of Li Qiwei’s huge influence, the popularity of Marie Curie’s scandals suddenly dropped.
After all, compared with Li Qiwei’s story, the story of Madame Curie and Lang Zhiwan is a bit underwhelming.
Only the tabloids continued to pay attention to the cheating scandal.
Mainstream official newspapers are all exaggerating the awesomeness of Li Qiwei's research and development of batteries, as well as the impact of press conferences on corporate publicity.
“The Bruce Group has created a new marketing concept that is worth learning from all companies.”
“Professor Bruce is not only a top physicist, he is also an excellent Inventor."
"This zinc-manganese battery will be popular all over the world."
In this era, the second industrial revolution has not yet started.
Internal combustion engines, petroleum, and electricity are all core resources.
A battery that is cheaper but has better performance, its role is self-evident.
With the rise of radio, various household appliances that were common in later generations began to appear.
Radios, flashlights, mobile lights and more.
These compact appliances are powered by batteries.
There are even more applications in the industrial field.
It can be said that Li Qiwei saw this gap and made a big profit first to accumulate original capital.
As soon as zinc-manganese batteries were born, they took the lead and took the market by storm.
Earn your first pot of gold smoothly.
And he also asked Tesla to lay out the patent.
In the future, anyone who wants to produce zinc-manganese batteries will have to pay him a patent fee.
Of course, patents are what restrain big companies.
Those small workshops don’t care what patents you have, they can do whatever they want to make money.
The technical barriers for zinc-manganese batteries are not particularly high, mainly the selection of electrode materials and processes.
For the United States, which has an extremely developed industrial system, this is simply a piece of cake.
It is estimated that those master craftsmen will be able to test out the specific material ratio in a few months.
Even Edison's company may be able to perfectly reproduce Li Qiwei's battery in less than a month.
But he didn’t dare to give birth!
Today's Li Qiwei is no longer the little guy he was when he first issued the filament patent.
With his current status, if Edison dared to ignore patents and secretly produce zinc-manganese batteries.
Bruce Group can definitely sue him to bankruptcy.
Li Qiwei now wants people and money. How can Edison be able to touch porcelain?
I really think that the Hongmen boys are all just doing nothing.
However, we cannot underestimate those big companies. They can use clever methods to bypass patents.
Li Qiwei had already planned this.
The battery is just his first product. It is purely for training, training Sheng Jingran, Tesla and others.
His real money-making projects are all at the back.
Netherlands, Philips headquarters.
Jerald looked at the news in the newspaper and drooled with envy.
Although Li Qiwei still retains the title of consultant to Philips.
But he had forgotten all about it.
Today Philips is insignificant to Li Qiwei.
Gerald didn’t dare to look for Li Qiwei rashly without any trouble.
Such a great scientist must have precious time.
Moreover, their current industry is much larger than mine.
Gerrard asked himself that he couldn't come up with anything that could attract him.
“I didn’t expect that Bruce would bargain with me over a filament patent.”
“Although he was very famous at that time, he was treated as a junior.”< br>
“It has only been ten years, and the other party has already grown to this point.”
"I'm really glad I made my choice."
"Otherwise, Philips might not be what it is today."
"That's Edison, and he would have such a disastrous failure."
Gerrard was frightened just thinking about it.
“No, I have to learn from Bruce’s approach and invite Chris to be the chief technology officer of Philips.”
"Tie up Chris, isn't it the same as hugging Bruce's lap."
Chris, who has not graduated with a Ph.D., still doesn't know that as soon as he graduates, he can become a boss of a big company if he just wants to. CTO.
This is a complete change of destiny.
This storm between Li Qiwei and Edison not only affected major European companies, but also helped Marie Curie get out of trouble.
London, in an ordinary house.
This is Madame Curie's temporary residence in the UK.
Li Qiwei was invited and finally met Madame Curie.
The other person's face was pale and haggard, completely different from the charming female scientist before.
But fortunately, Li Qiwei finally saw the blood on the other party's face.
Mrs. Curie was not planning to meet anyone, but Li Qiwei was of great help to her.
Now the matter between him and Edison has occupied the mainstream of major newspapers and has become the hottest public opinion at present.
Of course, fewer people pay attention to her.
The eldest daughter also wrote to me, saying that the situation is much better than before.
Madame Curie finally breathed a sigh of relief. Both emotionally and rationally, she was grateful to Li Qiwei.
"Bruce, I really don't know how to thank you."
"Without your help, I don't know what I would have done."
"Irena and Eve both Children, I want to see you.”
Hearing Madame Curie’s words, Li Qiwei knew that she was about to come out of the shadows.
In real history, Madame Curie was hit by this incident and became obsessed with academics and public welfare.
During World War I, she risked her life and went to the battlefield in person, using the X-ray device she invented to treat injured soldiers.
X-rays can penetrate bones and see shrapnel remaining in soldiers' bodies, greatly reducing the difficulty of surgeons' operations.
She traveled around the country and guided eighteen battlefield medical service teams.
She devoted her life to the application of radioactivity, but she suffered from pernicious anemia due to excessive exposure to radium radiation.
Li Qiwei put aside these heavy thoughts and said with a smile: "The last time I saw Irena, Eve wasn't even born yet."
"Now they must have become beautiful ladies."
"I also want to meet the two little guys."
When Madame Curie heard this, a long-lost smile bloomed on her face .
Since her husband passed away, her two children have been her spiritual sustenance and are more precious than her life.
“Irena is studying very seriously now, and she is also determined to be a physicist.”
"She also told me that her idol is Bruce."
"Oh?" Li Qiwei responded with a surprised expression.
Mrs. Curie’s two daughters are both very beautiful, and they obviously inherited Mrs. Curie’s genes.
The eldest daughter Irena later became as well-known in the scientific community as her mother.
Madame Curie has been very strict with Irena’s education since she was a child, and she personally served as her physics teacher.
When she grew up, Pauli taught her mathematics and Perrin taught her chemistry.
Three Nobel Prize winners are teachers. Such a luxurious lineup is simply a hundred and eighty thousand times better than any school district room.
So Irena’s education has not fallen behind at all.
In real history, Irena's most important achievement was the discovery of artificial radioactivity, for which she won the 1935 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Artificial radioactivity had an important impact on the future of nuclear fission, leading to the discovery of uranium's nuclear fission.
Therefore, this beautiful little girl is closely related to the atomic bomb.
And in fact, Irena was the first to discover neutrons and positrons, but unfortunately she did not correctly identify them.
As a result, these two important discoveries fell on other people's heads.
Later, Irena built France's first nuclear reactor and became a pioneer of French nuclear physics.
But she was committed to the cause of peace and refused to help France develop the atomic bomb, so she was revoked from all positions and honors by the French government.
And Irena, like Madame Curie, also has a like-minded husband named Joliot.
The two of them were originally colleagues in the laboratory. Later, because of the same interests, they often communicated together, so they fell in love with each other and finally came together.
Their children later became physicists.
Three generations of one family are all physicists, which has become a legend in the scientific community.
A certain scientific leader in China in later generations studied under the second generation Curies.
As for the second daughter Eve, she does not have the same interests as her sister, but focuses on her music career.
Later, she also wrote a book "The Biography of Madame Curie", which caused a great sensation.
Li Qiwei thought about this and couldn't help but sigh.
This is the real world of physics, a family where women cannot be compared to men.
“I believe that Irena will achieve high achievements in the field of physics in the future.”
"Perhaps you can consider letting her be my doctoral student in the future."
"I believe that the physics community should know my educational level by now."
"It will definitely not be buried. "Irena's talent."
Mrs. Curie was overjoyed when she heard this. If her daughter could become Bruce's doctor, the future would be bright.
And she no longer has to worry about her daughter's safety.
Madame Curie said a little excitedly:
"Bruce, then we have agreed, I will let Irena go to you in the future."
"Forget it about Eve, this little The guy doesn’t like studying at all, he just likes to play with instruments.”
Li Qiwei laughed.
Then the two chatted again, and happened to talk about Wang Luyao.
Li Qiwei said with a smile: "My wife has been urging me in China to help Madame Curie."
"I dare not not listen. I have to report the progress every night."
< br>Speaking of Wang Luyao, Mrs. Curie showed a sweet smile on her face.
"Sophie is the kindest woman in the world. She and Bruce will be happy forever."
"I haven't seen her for many years. I miss her so much."< br>
"Bruce, please thank Sophie for me. If I have the chance, I must express my gratitude to her in person."
Li Qiwei nodded, and finally comforted Madame Curie and said:
"Madame Curie, there is an old saying in China, which is that if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later."
"It means that if a person encounters huge difficulties and gets through it with strength, then he will Good luck will follow."
"I hope this can happen to you, maybe good things will come soon."
Madame Curie smiled. Although she knew that this was just Li Qiwei's comfort method, she still expressed her sincere gratitude.
"Thank you, Bruce, you have done a lot for me."
Finally, Li Qiwei said goodbye to Madame Curie and rushed back to school.
This time when he met the other party, he obviously felt a slight change.
If every move of Madame Curie before revealed the mature charm of a young woman.
Especially those loving eyes, which make people unable to extricate themselves.
So now Madame Curie has become a scientific research shrew.
The eyes are as calm as a deep pool, and no one can cause her fluctuations.
She was very polite to Li Qiwei. She no longer had the casualness and vague ambiguity she had before.
In short, from this moment on, Madame Curie no longer has the word man in her dictionary.
Some are just colleagues, friends, and fellow Taoists.
Farewell to me and talk about relationships, my life is only academic.
Li Qiwei sighed. Fortunately, he didn't know how to fall in love. He got married and had children early, which saved him countless troubles.
At this moment, Madame Curie in the room was sitting quietly at her desk.
The past flashes back one by one.
She was neither sad nor happy, and everything became a passing cloud.
Those happiness, like sadness, were buried deeply in her heart and turned into the most precious memory.
Perhaps when she gets old, she will remember her youth with these memories.
Thinking of the good things Li Qiwei said, Madame Curie smiled unconsciously.
She feels that the Bruce today is very different from before. He no longer makes jokes, but is serious.
I think the other party is also taking care of his own emotions.
As for good luck?
Madame Curie looked out the window and murmured to herself:
"Will I still have good luck?"
