Chapter 317 The list is announced! Physics Iron Throne! The whole world was in an uproar!
August 20, 1912.
The news of the restructuring of the Second Bruce Conference is the most important thing in the entire physics community.
If you can get an invitation letter from the previous conference, it means that you are famous in the field of physics.
But now, anyone who gets an invitation will be the envy of the entire scientific community.
The world of physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy.
Countless people are coveting that precious seat.
Because sitting there means that you can communicate with Bruce in advance.
Even became the first people to listen to the general theory of relativity.
What an honor this is.
They will be watched by the world.
This seat represents Bruce’s approval.
That is the first person in today's scientific world.
His recognition is the best proof of strength.
Unfortunately, such an honor can only be obtained by physicists.
This made many people beat their chests and sigh secretly.
This is the influence of physics, which deserves to be the first among sciences.
At the same time, in the vast Indian Ocean.
A merchant ship flying a huge "Lee" flag fought through obstacles on the violent sea.
Nowadays, Shanhe Industrial Group is getting bigger and bigger, and it has business dealings with Europe and America.
And with the big tree of Britain as its back, it is very convenient to do business anywhere.
Of course the UK has conducted a thorough investigation of the Sunward Group in Sarawak, and is very relieved after knowing that it is a purely commercial company.
It was specially allowed to line up with British merchant ships and was protected by the British Navy.
Of course it is just a name and a flag. If something happens, the UK will definitely not help.
Still, security will also be greatly improved.
In this era, there were still only a handful of pirates who dared to rob British merchant ships.
This Li-shaped ship was together with the King of Sarawak's ship, fully loaded with goods and shipped to England for sale.
On the deck, two gorgeously dressed Chinese women stood leaning on the railing, looking in the direction of Britain, their eyes full of longing.
Xiang Lan said excitedly: "Sister Lu Yao, we will see the young master in more than ten days."
Today, Xiang Lan no longer has the restraint of the past when she was a maid.
She also gradually developed the temperament of a lady.
Every gesture and gesture reveals the ladylike demeanor of everyone.
This is also what the old lady asked of her.
My son Li Qiwei is becoming more and more famous and is already a world-class figure.
Of course his wife cannot be too petty.
Although Xianglan is a maid, she has beautiful appearance, graceful figure and smooth skin.
After a little training and training, she is simply more noble than a young lady from a big family.
Now Xianglan is like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, completing a gorgeous transformation.
However, even so, Xianglan did not forget her roots.
Not only is she not arrogant, but she treats her servants harshly.
On the contrary, he has a gentle temper and is very polite to everyone, and has won the respect and respect of many people in the Li family.
Moreover, her treatment of Wang Luyao has never changed.
Everything about myself, without Wang Luyao’s help, might have changed completely.
Wang Luyao came back to his senses, took Xiang Lan's hand and smiled: "I guess your husband must be very anxious now."
Xiang Lan was confused, shouldn't he see the two of them? So happy.
Although Wang Luyao is already a mother of two children, she looks like a charming young woman with every smile.
But her quirky personality has not changed at all, she is still the same as a girl.
I saw her saying mysteriously to Xianglan: "There is something I didn't tell you."
"That is that my husband has a female assistant at King's College London. Her name is Delia."
"It is said that she is still a young girl."
"Tell me, if we go, he won't be in a hurry."
Xiang Lan covered her mouth and smiled after hearing this.
"I believe in the young master's character. He said that he dislikes Western women the most because they smell too strong."
Wang Luyao chuckled and then laughed loudly.
On this ship, in addition to the company personnel of Shanhe Industrial Group, there is also an elite team of 10 people sent by Li Bokai.
Specifically responsible for the safety of Wang Luyao and Xiang Lan.
They disguised themselves as employees of the company and will stay in the UK temporarily until they return to the country.
So, Wang Luyao and Xiang Lan can laugh without any scruples.
Becomes a beautiful scenery on the ship.
The longing in their eyes drifted towards Britain at a speed far exceeding that of the ship.
The sea breeze is rippling with tenderness, and even the air is sweet.
At this moment, Li Qiwei is in his office, thinking about the meeting list.
Since he wanted to cause a big event, he might as well make it grander.
So, he kept planning on paper.
When writing certain places, he would also show a knowing smile.
——
August 30, 1912.
Li Qiwei finally announced the list of the second blues conference in Nature.
Exquisite invitations will be sent out later.
Once the list was announced, it immediately caused shock in the physics community.
Participants of the Second Bruce Conference, according to their current country:
UK: Li Qiwei, Qian Wushi, Thomson, Rutherford, Old Bragg, Moseley
Germany: Roentgen, Planck, Nernst, Wien, Sommerfeld, Laue, Einstein, Born
France: Marie Curie, Lippmann
Netherlands: Lorenz
Denmark: Bohr
United States: Michelson, Millikan
A total of 20 people.
There are many differences between the list of this conference and the first one.
The first is Lord Rayleigh. As a contemporary of Lord Kelvin, he has now officially withdrawn from the field of science.
Even if Li Qiwei came to the door in person, he would just smile.
"I'm old, and I can't understand even if I go there."
"The world will be left to you young people."
"Bruce, my vision has never been That’s right, physics, because you will definitely have a brighter future.”
Li Qiwei said goodbye solemnly.
Lord Rayleigh had helped him for no reason when he was still weak.
Winning a British knighthood for him gave him a certain ability to protect himself.
Both emotionally and rationally, Li Qiwei was full of respect for the old man.
As Maxwell's successor, the other party had a keen eye and discovered Professor Thomson.
Today, after three generations of hard work, Cavendish has become a top-notch laboratory in the world.
In the visible fourth generation, it will be even more brilliant.
Now, Thomson has intended to designate Rutherford as the fourth successor.
He knew that Li Qiwei would definitely not accept this position.
Under the leadership of Rutherford, Cavendish will surely reach a higher level.
In the future world of physics, we will continue to stand at the forefront and lead the world.
Then, Langevin was not selected.
Everyone thought that Bruce was worried about the scandal, so he deliberately excluded Lang Zhiwan.
Marie Curie is the only double Nobel Prize winner and cannot be excluded.
In addition, there are the newly selected people.
Bohr, Laue, Qian Wushi, Old Bragg, Born, Moseley.
They are all rising stars who have published new results since the golden age of physics began.
From this short list, two conclusions can be easily drawn.
First, Britain and Germany are leading by a cliff in the field of physics.
People from these two countries are the largest.
Li Qiwei and Qian Wushi are automatically classified as British by many people.
Because their studies and research are almost all completed in the UK.
In this era, it is simply impossible for Asia to cultivate local physicists.
Even with Li Qiwei's talent, he only helped China improve basic education.
If you want to cultivate talents now, there is still a long way to go. At least not until the City of Science reaches a certain scale.
Second, the number of younger generation physicists has increased significantly.
This was done deliberately by Li Qiwei.
Modern physics is an opportunity for young people.
Once you grasp it, you can soar into the sky.
So he is willing to give young people a chance.
Born and Moseley are the best examples.
There is actually a big gap between their current achievements and those of others.
When the list was announced, the whole world was in an uproar.
Because there are still some people who are stronger than Born and Moseley.
Why those people were not selected.
Of course, no matter how much they objected, it was useless.
This is a conference sponsored, organized and held by Li Qiwei himself.
It's all his business how he wants to arrange it.
Others can only accept it.
Therefore, many people say that Bruce is too domineering in the scientific field.
But Ridgway didn't care.
Born and Moseley are completely geniuses.
Their achievements are only weak, and the meaning they represent is what Li Qiwei is concerned about.
Anyway, the participants of this session are very hard-working to some extent.
Because they are all foils.
They are all a foil to Ridgway's general theory of relativity.
No one cares about other people’s results.
Everyone’s attention is focused on the general theory of relativity.
Some people even simply said that the second Bruce Conference was actually the second relativity seminar.
The brilliance of Li Qiwei alone overshadows everyone else.
However, even so, those selected are still envied by countless people.
Then, an unexpected piece of news suddenly made everyone crazy.
Countless people looked up to the sky and screamed, envious of those who could attend the second blues conference.
Li Qiwei announced that he will build an Iron Throne in the field of physics, symbolizing the glory of physics.
All participants will sit on carefully crafted thrones.
They are the kings of physics!
Boom!
The whole world was shocked!
Everyone was shocked by Li Qiwei's idea.
He actually treats physics as a kingdom.
Countless people were trembling with excitement.
“Oh my God, it was obviously an academic conference, but now it has become an imperial conference.”
“Although I don’t know what the Iron Throne looks like, I know it just by hearing the name. It must be extremely domineering.”
“I think Professor Bruce should be the Silver Throne to show the difference from others.”
“That won’t work. That would be too much for others. Disrespected.”
"."
Countless people are talking about Li Qiwei's initiative.
This idea that has a strong second-level aura has been supported and welcomed by many people.
Especially those in the scientific field regard the Iron Throne as the highest honor.
Since ancient times, both East and West.
The status of scientific researchers is incomparable with that of political tasks.
Even if you are lifted very high, it is because of some kind of need.
In this life, Li Qiwei wants to change this concept.
He wants to re-establish a system.
A system that respects scientists.
Therefore, he wanted to create such a name himself.
Emperors have various honorific titles.
Even the British knighthood has complicated ceremonies.
All this is to show your distinguished identity and status.
Scientists are the smartest people, why can't they get this kind of treatment?
The Iron Throne was Ridgway's attempt.
In the future, he may create a more exciting honor system.
Let every big figure in the scientific community become famous all over the world and become the envy of countless people.
He just wanted to tell everyone.
The king is never exclusive to one person.
As long as you are the best in your field, you will be the king of your field.
Everyone’s value is unique.
The news of the Iron Throne spread throughout the scientific community like a hurricane in an instant.
No one has ever thought that science can be played like this.
In a manor on the outskirts of Essex, England, Lord Rayleigh said with a smile:
"Bruce, if I hadn't told you earlier, if I knew there was an Iron Throne, I would definitely participate."
"I also want to be addicted to being a king."
His eldest son smiled and said: "Father, will Professor Bruce's behavior be officially allowed?"
"Would this behavior be a bit disrespectful to the British royal family."
Rui Lord Li's eyes became sharp, and he said domineeringly:
"Britain is no longer the Britain it used to be."
"The government and the royal family have no right to control everything."
"Especially in the scientific field, their hands were stretched too long before. It caused dissatisfaction among many people.”
“Now, it’s just a seat.”
“I don’t believe that they dare to go against people in all scientific fields.”
< br>
"What's the Iron Throne?"
"Aren't the Dragon Thrones in the East now protected cultural relics?"
"In the final analysis, it's just a symbol."
"Bruce is so bold."
"He wants to rectify the names of all scientists in the world."
"Based on this alone, he will be supported by countless people."
"After all, who can refuse such an honor as a king, even if it is just the king in the field of physics."
Although Lord Rayleigh himself is a member of the British aristocratic system.
But he is also a member of the scientists.
His position is clear.
Nobility is definitely not born noble because of their status.
Nobility should have enterprising courage, tenacious faith, and lifelong purity.
Nobility is not a title, but a spirit.
All those who charge into unknown territories deserve respect and receive their own glory.
His eldest son nodded.
Originally, he thought Professor Bruce was too high-profile.
I didn’t expect that after my father’s analysis, the other party had such lofty intentions.
At this moment, he had a deeper understanding of Li Qiwei.
The other party is not just a scientist.
His depth is beyond everyone’s imagination.
General relativity, the Iron Throne, and one person taking on the world.
The second blues conference has not yet begun.
Li Qiwei has ignited the passion of countless people.
