Chapter 318 Don’t mistake scientists for weak scholars! Learn martial arts and bombard the emperor's house!
The news of the Physical Iron Throne shocked everyone.
Especially researchers in the scientific field feel their blood boiling all over.
There has never been a moment when these so-called lonely scientists could be crowned with such an honor.
The most you can receive is a low-level title, and that’s the end of it.
Further up, that is the realm of identity and bloodline.
And now, Bruce, the world's number one physicist, wants to build the Iron Throne in the field of physics.
Although in the eyes of many people, this is just self-entertainment in the field of physics.
There is no comparison with the title granted by the British royal family.
But it represents an acknowledgment that in physics, a field that does not rely on blood or ancestors, all glory must be earned by oneself.
Perhaps in the future, glory in the field of science can rival any glory.
Bruce is going to develop a separate system.
Ordinary people tend to have a lot of mentality when watching a drama and find it very interesting.
What they care about is the Iron Throne, whether it is an iron lump seat.
The physicists were breathing heavily. This symbolic meaning is too tempting for people's vanity.
It is clearly not any kind of reward, nor is it even a certificate of identity officially recognized by the state.
But it gives people a strong attraction that makes people unable to extricate themselves.
The voice in my heart kept telling myself: I must sit in that position and become the king in the field of physics.
However, in the eyes of those who are really in power, these are just trivial matters.
London, 10 Downing Street, the residence of the British Prime Minister.
Today's British Prime Minister is Asquith.
This prime minister, who rose to power as a lawyer, has no sense of existence in history.
His life is extremely luxurious.
He hired fourteen servants in his mansion in London to take care of his daily life.
And he has no ability to recognize people and has buried Churchill and other real political elites.
So when the war broke out, his career as prime minister came to an end.
At this moment, the current British Foreign Secretary Balfour is talking to Asquith.
As a former prime minister, Balfour and Asquith were old acquaintances.
"Mr. Prime Minister, have you heard about the recent major events in London?"
Belfort looked at the man in front of him, feeling very dissatisfied.
In his eyes, the other party came from a humble background, so how could he sit in the position of prime minister.
And since the other party took office, his performance has been mediocre and featureless.
The key is that he also likes a luxurious life. It is said that many people in the government criticize him.
However, he is no longer the Prime Minister after all. Facing the current Prime Minister, Balfour can only bury his thoughts in his heart and maintain enough respect.
He knows that in politics, one must not underestimate anyone.
If you fail to protect your opponent, all they show are illusions, designed to confuse the opponent.
Asquith smiled and said: "Mr. Balfour, are you talking about that meeting held by Bruce Lee?"
"Haha, I heard a little bit about it."
“I heard that he has now become a great scientist comparable to Newton.”
“A Chinese can actually do this.”
"I have to admit that he is indeed different from the Chinese people in my impression."
Belfort smiled: "I have been paying attention to this person as early as Prime Minister Cecil's period."
"Based on various information, this person is definitely not as simple as he appears."
"Judging from his previous remarks and recent performance, his intentions are very big."
Asquith did not speak when he heard this, but thought for a while.
Then he took a deep breath, took out a document from the drawer, and handed it to Belfort.
“Look at this.”
After taking it, Belfort looked at it carefully.
The more he looked at him, the more surprised he became.
Unknowingly, Bruce Lee, who was ignored by him at the beginning, has grown to this point.
"The initial estimate of personal assets is 5 million pounds."
"The business scope of its companies covers Europe, the United States, and Asia, covering various fields such as heavy industry, medical care, energy, and military industry."
" Good at investment and asset management"
"Shanhe Industrial Group has become the largest enterprise in Borneo."
"."
Looking at the specific data, Belfort was horrified.
This seemingly harmless Bruce Lee is simply equivalent to a big capitalist in London.
But the other party is very low-key in the field of wealth.
On the contrary, he is extremely high-profile in the field of science.
Belfort was very puzzled that he already had so much wealth and yet he still did such crappy scientific research.
Is the other party really out of interest?
This information is more detailed and has changed more than what he collected a few years ago.
It can be said that Li Qiwei is constantly growing every moment.
Asquith looked at Belfort's surprised look and enjoyed it very much.
This is the power of the Prime Minister.
He can use all resources to investigate anyone and obtain information that others cannot imagine.
"How can I say this Bruce Lee? He is very knowledgeable."
"He has no concealment or reservation."
"I heard from Sarawak According to reports, Shanhe Industrial Group is very honest in Borneo.”
"At least based on the available data, Bruce does not have any other thoughts."
"He just likes science and wealth."
Belfort looked at the data carefully. Based on the data, he always felt that there was something wrong with Asquith's words.
But he couldn't grasp what the problem was.
He always believed that Bruce Lee was not as simple as he appeared, and must be hiding something deep.
After the other party returned to China, several of his strategies failed to work as they should have.
On the contrary, the opponent took advantage of him.
That man is like a mist.
If the other party hadn’t been immersed in academic circles.
Belfort even doubted that he would raise his arms and thousands of people would respond.
"Mr. Prime Minister, have you ever learned about these heavy industry companies in Borneo?"
"Bruce Lee is a scientist, why would he get involved in heavy industry."
Asquith looked at Bell Fu asked, feeling slightly unhappy.
The other party is famous for his viciousness. Like his uncle, he is a truly cold-blooded politician.
However, who put his identity there?
Now he is still the foreign minister of the empire, which can be said to be a high-power position and a member of the center.
Asquith naturally wanted to find a way to win over.
“Haha, Mr. Belfort, you don’t think that some heavy industry companies can create any guns.”
“With the scale of Shanhe Industrial Group, even Krupp Not even half of them."
"The Kaiser is making moves recently, and he is the one we need to focus on."
"Even if Bruce Lee's company wants to secretly build guns, so what?"
"Under the steel fleet of our British Empire, it's just paper."
"You're a little too worried."
Belfor smiled awkwardly. He always felt that the processes of centrifuges, power facilities, metal mines, chemical purification, etc. were a bit weird. Because they are not a system.
Together these things seem to have no effect.
Bruce Lee is the first person in physics.
Even if he doesn’t understand industrial production, with his connections, finding professionals to help him is a piece of cake.
But why does the other party’s layout look messy?
Belfort couldn't figure out the reason and could only give up.
He is now only the British Foreign Secretary and has limited powers.
It is obviously impossible to use official power to conduct an in-depth investigation of the other party.
It was even more impossible to get closer to Asquith in front of him.
The other party obviously didn't take Bruce Lee seriously.
“I am worrying too much, Mr. Prime Minister.”
Asquith smiled at this time and said, "By the way, there is one more thing I can tell you. You will know what Bruce Lee thinks after reading it."
Asquith added another message from the safe Take out a document.
It read clearly: "Several suggestions for building a city of science in northern Borneo."
Belfort was shocked when he saw the title.
A city of science?
"Bruce Lee actually wants to build a city?"
"This is incredible."
Asquith smiled: "The document was half a month ago, Bruce Lee Sent to the Prime Minister's Office in person."
"With his current reputation, of course my assistant chose to report it to me."
"To be honest, the first time I saw this plan. I was moved.”
"It has to be said that Bruce Lee is a real genius."
"Not just in academics, but in any aspect."
"If it had not been determined that he was interested in politics Without any interest, it is impossible for me to let him leave the UK."
"The city of science is built on the territory of the British Empire."
"This will help us improve ourselves. The image of a country plays an incomparable role.”
"Recently, the United States has been frantically attracting scientific and technological talents from all over the world."
"Because all countries have realized how much impact science and technology has on productivity."
"Fortunately, on this aspect, We in the UK are at the forefront.”
At this moment, Balfour felt a storm in his heart.
He felt that Bruce Lee's ambition had been exposed.
The other party wants to be independent!
So, he said excitedly: "Mr. Prime Minister, isn't Bruce Lee's idea dangerous?"
"He wants to achieve independence in our British colonies. ”
Asquith was very disdainful.
But he still said kindly: "Oh? Mr. Balfour, please tell me, how can a city of science become independent?"
"According to this plan."
"The entire City of Science will be divided into several areas, covering Sarawak, Brunei, Sabah and other regions."
"And it is a A purely academic organization. "
"It only studies the most cutting-edge basic science."
"It doesn't even produce a knife, tell me how to be independent."
"You know, the northern part of Borneo is our British territory, and the southern part is the Dutch territory."
"Bruce Lee is just a scientist, how can he be independent?"
" Don’t you think that China will help him?”
“Hahaha, don’t you, the foreign minister, know what the situation in China is now?”
“You, It’s just that Bruce Lee is too complicated.”
Just as Balfour was about to speak, he was interrupted by Asquith.
"I have heard of an old saying in China, which is called: Those who have learned literature and martial arts will be rich in the emperor's family."
"It means those who have studied for more than ten years, or practiced martial arts People who have practiced for more than ten years. "
"The purpose of their hard work is never to overthrow the king who rules them, but to voluntarily submit to the king's sect and become a tool in the king's hands."
“Isn’t this true for scientists?”
"Don't look at the fact that Bruce Lee is in the limelight now and his fame is beyond the sky."
"But what's the use of that?"
"Everything he has done is nothing. It’s just for my use.”
“Just like this city of science, it is naturally sacred in the eyes of their scientists.”
“But in the eyes of us politicians, it is. That is a tool that can be used at will.”
"Once there is a need, lock those scientists in a room and let them study honestly. If anyone dares to disobey, kill a few."
"I'm afraid they will be scared out of their wits."
"At best, just a few pounds a month as salary will be enough."
"Then we will give them various titles and try our best to publicize their deeds."
>"Those dull and humble scientists will probably be grateful, hahaha."
Asquith laughed very loudly.
In his eyes, the so-called Iron Throne is just like a joke.
The real Iron Throne can control people's life and death, not bullshit laws of physics.
This is what politicians like Asquith think.
Not only did he not oppose Li Qiwei's approach, he even helped to promote it vigorously.
Anyway, you can win the favor of scientists by just talking and not spending any money, so why not do it.
Once the City of Science is built, it may be one of his great political achievements.
After all, this kind of thing is perfect for publicity.
The civilizing power of the British Empire took root in Asia.
“Britain leads the world’s civilization!”
Maybe he can do it for a few more terms.
Belfort wanted to open his mouth several times, but he didn't know how to explain.
In his eyes, Bruce Lee is definitely different from traditional scientists.
That man never cares about false fame.
If the average person had his current achievements, he would have gone to various countries to show off and become academicians of various countries.
But Bruce Lee had little interest in this kind of thing.
The so-called Iron Throne is definitely not for some ridiculous sense of honor.
But Belfort couldn't understand all this.
He asked helplessly: "Mr. Prime Minister, what do you think of this city of science?"
Asquith smiled: "I will find a time to visit Discuss this matter in Parliament ”
"But I believe that most people will support my decision."
"The City of Science must be built, and we will even give Bruce Lee a discount to let him build it faster."
“Anyway, there is not much in Borneo, except for a lot of unowned and abandoned land.”
“If the area in the UK was not really insufficient, I would have wanted to put this plan on the map Local."
Belfort knew he could not change Asquith's mind.
The blame lies with Bruce Lee for pretending too well.
None of his actions were threatening.
Looks completely surrendered to the British Empire.
But he knew that everything would not be that simple.
