Chapter 344 Global Study Visit! The next era begins!
After the trip to Belgium, Li Qiwei took everyone straight to France.
He took Wang Luyao and Xiang Lan to visit Madame Curie.
Marie Curie has completely recovered from the scandal and she has become stronger and more optimistic.
But the presence of the two ladies made Madame Curie smile bitterly.
She knew Wang Luyao, but she was not familiar with Xiang Lan.
Under Li Qiwei’s explanation, Madame Curie figured out the relationship between the three of them.
Soon, the three women began to communicate among themselves in broken English.
Li Qiwei curiously looked at the girl Irena and the little Lolita Ive in front of him.
Ave said in a sweet voice: "Are you Uncle Bruce?"
"This is the painting I painted for you. Do you like it?"
Li Qiwei took the painting and said with a smile: "Eve, your painting is so good. Listen to your uncle and don't paint again next time. "
Aif stared at her big cute eyes and asked: "Why?"
Irena smiled, picked up her sister and let the little kid Go and play by yourself.
She seemed to have no shyness or restraint of a girl, and said generously:
"Nice to meet you, Bruce."
Li Qiwei smiled and said: "Hello, Irena."
"I heard from your mother that you like studying physics very much."
"Are you planning to be a physicist in the future?"
Irena smiled and said: "Yes, my academic performance has always been first in the class."
< br>
"I can now help my mother do experiments."
Li Qiwei said: "Oh, that's really awesome."
"When I was your age, I didn't know what physics was. ”
Irena chuckled.
"Well, Bruce, can I study with you when I grow up? I want to be your graduate student."
"But I heard from my mother that you are going back to Asia soon. Will you come back?"
Li Qiwei touched her head and said, "Don't worry, I will come back."
"You have to study hard, be careful not to pass my entrance exam."
Irena smiled happily.
“I believe I can do it.”
Accompanied by Marie Curie, Ridgway gave a lecture at the University of Paris.
Lippmann, Langevin, Perrin and other French physicists accompanied him.
Even if Langevin and Marie Curie meet now, they are like strangers and have no communication.
In this life, Lang Zhiwan seems to have changed his personality. He is not as energetic as he was in history. Instead, he concentrates on academics.
Under his introduction, Li Qiwei met de Broglie.
This was the first time he formally met and communicated with the other party.
The 21-year-old De Broglie just graduated from his undergraduate degree this year.
He was full of aristocratic temperament, but when he saw Li Qiwei, he was still extremely excited and turned into a little fanboy.
"Professor Bruce, I am so happy to see you."
"My brother often mentions you in front of me and regards you as an idol."
"Your theory of relativity fascinates me."
Li Qiwei said: "Hello, de Broglie."
"I heard Professor Langzhiwan say that you abandon literature and follow theory. "
"Young people are very courageous."
De Broglie is a little embarrassed. Although he has a noble status, he is not enough in front of this person.
Professor Bruce is already the king's guest.
The Queen of the Netherlands and the King of Belgium all praised him highly.
“I was mainly influenced by you.”
“After reading Bohr’s notes, I became interested in physics.”
“I hope that in the future , I can also make breakthrough contributions.”
Li Qiwei smiled softly and said: "You are ambitious."
After bidding farewell to Madame Curie, Li Qiwei met with Zhou Ziyu and his party.
Now Zhou Ziyu couldn't help but sigh after seeing Li Qiwei.
“Qiwei, I didn’t expect that you would have reached this level in such a short time.”
“It really makes me ashamed.”
"Now you are already a world-famous master."
Li Qiwei smiled heartily: "If you are not a master, it is all a false name."
"Next, I will concentrate on Let’s build a city of science.”
Zhou Ziyu nodded, his eyes twinkling.
“This is a matter of great utilitarianism and great benefit for the ages. China’s scientific undertakings will surely take off.”
Suddenly, Zhou Ziyu asked carefully: "Qiwei, you, a city of science, will definitely give special treatment to China, right?"
Li Qiwei did not answer, the two looked at each other and laughed.
After leaving with Zhou Ziyu, Li Qiwei’s next stop was Germany.
There are so many memories of him here.
Planck, Einstein and others prepared a small private party for Li Qiwei.
Nernst, Laue, Born, Sommerfeld and others participated.
Li Qiwei can tell just from the scale of physicists that Germany was indeed strong at this time.
No wonder he dared to challenge the authority of the British Empire.
Germany and the United Kingdom are now the two major centers of European science, leaving other countries far behind.
Planck looked at the calm Li Qiwei and felt very pleased.
The young man back then has now become a mature scientist.
His sharp edge is restrained and he no longer gives off an intimidating aura, but becomes more upright and calm.
However, Planck was still a little reluctant to think about Ridgway leaving.
"Bruce, will you go back to Europe again this time?"
"It is estimated that your city of science will not be built in less than ten years."
< br>
"What are your plans?"
When everyone heard this question, they all stopped talking and looked at Li Qiwei, waiting for his answer.
If the world’s number one physicist is no longer in Europe, it will indeed be a pity for the European physics community.
After listening to Planck's question, Li Qiwei felt helpless. He could not tell the truth to the people present.
Soon, the world will be in chaos.
The physicists present are just a small boat in this troubled world.
Although their status as scientists has saved them from the war, they should not expect to continue their own research.
This is the characteristic of historical garbage time: the world stops developing.
Li Qiwei thought of this and said:
“The early construction will definitely require my participation.”
“But when everything is on track, I can gradually get rid of it.”
“In a short period of time, the City of Science may be more attractive to Asian countries.”
“ Therefore, I should return to Europe again."
Planck and others nodded.
Although they are very optimistic about the City of Science and have an irreconcilable relationship with Li Qiwei.
But that doesn’t mean they will take root there right away.
After all, Europe is still the absolute center of the world.
Without twenty or thirty years, it is impossible for the City of Science to surpass Europe. Planck and the others might study there for a short period of time.
Of course, their minds may change soon.
Especially after World War II, there was a great scientific migration around the world.
Li Qiwei must seize this bonus. If you miss it, you will never have it again.
Next, Li Qiwei took a trip to Denmark.
Now Bohr is already the leader of Danish scientists.
As a professor of physics at the University of Copenhagen, Bohr imitated Li Qiwei in everything.
He applied to the school to build a physics institute to specialize in academic physics research.
The school disagreed at first.
Although Bohr was a student of Li Qiwei, Bohr could even be given an exceptional professorship.
But establishing a research institute just for him is a bit too exaggerated.
After all, Bohr was only Li Qiwei’s student, not Li Qiwei himself.
Otherwise, let alone one research institute, even ten would not be a problem.
However, after Bohr proposed to solve the problem of money and land himself, the school immediately agreed.
Even the name of this research is called "Bohr Institute".
Li Qiwei looked at the mature Bohr and said with a smile: "You are going to start a sect."
Bohr chuckled. He worked hard for this institute. .
He knew that his mentor had already started building a research institute in Borneo.
The leader is Qian Wushi and others.
Among his mentor’s students, Bohr valued Master Qian the most, and the two even secretly competed with each other in private.
They are also geniuses, and they all have their own pride.
“I heard that Qian Wushi has also started to establish a research institute. I don’t know how far he has gone.”
Li Qiwei said: "He is following my city of science, and his research institute is different from yours."
"Physics in Asia develops slower, so the research institute will adapt to local conditions and be more basic. ”
Bohr nodded.
Anyway, he will definitely go to the City of Science to have a look, and then he will know the situation of Fifth Master Qian.
The speech at the University of Copenhagen made all the teachers and students of the school crazy.
All because of Bohr.
Eleven years ago, Li Qiwei gave a lecture here and happened to meet Bohr.
Bohr was just an ordinary child at that time.
However, who would have thought that Bohr's fate would change just because of Li Qiwei's words.
He became a household name in Denmark and boosted the Danes' self-confidence.
And now, Li Qiwei gives another speech, will he create another Bohr?
Everyone wants to be the lucky one.
The atmosphere at the speech was very heated.
Bohr looked at this scene and chuckled: "Sorry, you will never have a chance."
The two pillars of modern physics, relativity and quantum theory, have been gradually improved.
Bohr believed that the opportunities for latecomers would only become less and less.
He and Professor Bruce will dominate modern physics.
This is Bohr's heroic ambition.
With Bohr watching, Li Qiwei boarded the ship to the United States.
This is the last stop of his trip and the most important one.
Although Li Qiwei created the City of Science in this life, he could not guarantee that the United States would not rise.
The potential of that country is too great.
As for Li Qiwei himself, due to various constraints, it is difficult to compete alone.
After all, Borneo cannot compare with the United States in terms of land area or population.
Although Li Qiwei can mislead the development of physics in the United States, there is nothing he can do about hard power.
In short, the United States must be his next core strategy.
The huge wealth he accumulated needs to be based on the United States.
This time Li Qiwei's arrival caused a greater sensation in the United States than the last time.
The title of the first person in science, coupled with the deeds of defeating Edison.
In the minds of Americans at this moment, Li Qiwei is the omnipotent scientist in movies and novels.
Moreover, Li Qiwei's company completely surpassed the Edison Company.
With Tesla at the helm of Bruce Group, its rapid development has shocked the industry.
Its tentacles are spread across almost every field.
The products we produce far surpass other competing products in the market, and we are far ahead of the rest.
Coupled with the blessing of Li Qiwei's name, it can be said that the current Bruce Group has almost become a trust.
Although it is not comparable to super giants such as Rockefeller, it is still a second-tier company.
The headquarters of Bruce Group is a five-story building.
The construction of the super luxury skyscraper planned to be built by the group has already begun.
It is expected to be put into use in a few years, and by then it will be worthy of the style of the Bruce Group.
At the company meeting, Li Qiwei imagined the future in front of Tesla, Sheng Jingran, Situ and other senior executives.
"The future of Bruce Group is to become the king of American industrial and consumer goods."
"Our purpose is to use technology to change the future."
"All Bruce Group products must have Technology content.”
“I have no interest in selling oil.”
The responsibility of the chairman is to help his subordinates.
Li Qiwei's pie was so big that everyone present was excited and trembling.
Technology is developing faster and faster, and the way to make money has also changed.
In today's era, whoever can meet the needs of ordinary people will succeed.
And Li Qiwei’s company uses technology to improve people’s needs, and it has a bright future.
Of course the real reason is that Li Qiwei did not dare to enter many fields.
For example, in the military industry, even if he wanted to get involved, he would be blocked by the United States.
Anyway, his goal is to make money to subsidize the city of science, so there is no need to be too high-profile.
Those familiar military-industrial enterprises in later generations are inextricably linked to the upper echelons of the United States.
After handling the group's affairs, Ridgway was invited by Michelson to give a speech at the University of Chicago.
His arrival made the University of Chicago excited.
Although this university funded by Rockefeller has only been in existence for more than 20 years, its strength is not inferior to that of the famous old schools.
Many well-known scientists have also emerged here.
The world's first nuclear reactor was built here, led by the famous Fermi.
Femi is still a teenager at this moment, and I am afraid he will also grow up listening to Li Qiwei’s stories in the future.
The lecture at the University of Chicago was a complete success.
Li Qiwei predicted the future scientific development of the United States from the perspective of national potential, which excited the Americans present.
Many American scientific figures rushed to visit Li Qiwei, hoping to gain his friendship.
On October 2, 1913, Ridgway finally ended his global visit plan.
It is said to be the whole world, but in fact it is only a few countries.
In this era, science does not exist at all in most countries.
As soon as Ridgway returned to London, a piece of news spread throughout the physics community, causing an instant sensation.
