Chapter 346 King’s School! Spread the branches and leaves! Original research is difficult to achieve!
Qian Wushi’s award has gradually spread a word in the physics community: King’s School.
It refers to the summary of major research fields derived from Li Qiwei as the core.
Now his doctoral students such as Bohr have begun to branch out, and the entire school will gradually grow in the future.
Of course, this kind of title is only occasionally mentioned by the big guys in the circle.
Just like the Zurich School related to the theory of relativity.
They are different from the Cavendish School.
Because the Cavendish Laboratory is fixed and will not change when Thomson leaves.
Even if someone else becomes the director, he will still be of the Cavendish School.
But the King’s School, once Ridgway left, the name became inappropriate.
Li Qiwei's future is in Borneo, in Kuching, where it is fixed. Perhaps there will be a Kuching school in the future.
However, King's College London doesn't care about that much, at least Li Qiwei hasn't left yet.
King’s School lives up to its name.
The school immediately announced that Master Qian won the Nobel Prize in Physics, which is a ground-breaking achievement for the school and marks the school’s take-off.
Qian Wushi’s doctoral thesis was also published on a large scale and became a must-read paper in the physics department.
Li Qiwei strongly supports this.
Although he also has a Nobel Prize, he completed his thesis at Cambridge University.
Master Qian, on the other hand, is a real person, completing his own research project at King's College London.
The two are not the same.
So, this achievement deserves to be considered King’s College.
In later generations, various schools fought hard for an academician, let alone a Nobel Prize winner.
Even now there is no concession.
Because the Nobel Prize means a steady stream of funds and support.
So, the issue of attribution is very important.
In this regard, Li Qiwei smiled faintly. He no longer values this.
After all, he himself is the super financier and does not need funding from others.
After receiving the news of winning the award, Qian Wushi and three others set off from Borneo to the UK.
They are going to join Li Qiwei and then go to Sweden to receive the award together.
By the way, Qian Wushi and others also need to make their own connections and friends.
They have been able to stand alone and have their own circle of friends.
Li Qiwei was very pleased with this.
He needs his students to have independent souls, not just his own appendages.
On November 20, 1913, three members of Qian's fifth division arrived in London.
Having not seen each other for nearly a year, the three of them have long since lost the childishness on their faces and look much more mature.
The construction work of the institute during this period has allowed them to grow a lot.
The experience from zero to one is extremely precious to Qian Wushi and the other three.
Although this cannot improve their own scientific research capabilities, it can strengthen their control over macro planning.
This will be of huge benefit to the next Pangu plan.
Li Qiwei brought the three of them into the room to talk alone.
“First of all, I would like to congratulate the three of you on winning the Nobel Prize in Physics.”
"Seeing you, I feel that China's rise is unstoppable."
Qian Wushi, Qian Huzhou, and Deng Huaining were very excited after hearing this.
China is finally no longer supported by Professor Li alone, but has successors.
They must inherit the professor's mantle, carry it forward, bring science to the land of China, and take root.
If He Yujie and others are dispelling ignorance, then they are chasing the light.
The former is the foundation, while the latter is pioneering and innovative.
This is Professor Li Qiwei’s majestic layout, changing the world.
Qian Wushi said with a smile: "It's a pity that Yu Yin didn't come over. I asked him to come with me, but he didn't want to."
"He is probably jealous, haha."
< br>The three of them looked at each other and smiled.
Li Qiwei was helpless after hearing this. He had to be blamed for this, so he sent Yu Yin out alone.
"Sooner or later, he will win the Nobel Prize. That kid has a bit of a cold personality. It's just a good time to temper his character."
Then, Qian Wushi asked:
"Teacher, I heard that Bohr has also started to build an institute."
"And he has already prepared graduate student recruitment. He even wrote a letter to show off to me before."
Li Qiwei smiled after hearing this.
"Bohr is very ambitious, and the entire country of Denmark supports him."
"He wants to be the scientific leader of Denmark."
"What, you three Do you also want to start recruiting masters and doctors?”
The three of them laughed.
Deng Huaining is the youngest, only 27 years old this year.
He said: "We are going to wait until the institute is almost completed before we start."
"Even if we recruit students now, we cannot carry out teaching and scientific research."
Li Qiwei nodded and asked:
“How is the situation in the institute now?”
This matter is in charge of the Fifth Division Qian. He said:
"The construction work of the institute is currently going very smoothly, with the strong support of Prince Weiner."
"It is expected to be completed in mid-1914 , it will be ready for initial use.”
“I will purchase instruments and equipment in batches by then.”
“The research institutes of the other three universities have also been initially built.”
"According to your plan, the early stage will focus on simple research to make it easier for newly graduated undergraduate students to get started."
"However, there are still too few people who can serve as R&D professors."
“Many teachers can only teach and cannot do research and development work.”
Master Qian reported on the phased work in detail.
There are results and difficulties, which shows that they really work hard.
Li Qiwei listened and took a pen to record the key points. At the same time, he was also thinking.
The situation was basically as he expected.
With China’s current scientific foundation, it is impossible to step into original research.
It is already very good to catch up with the level of Sakura Country.
Although the current development of Huangpu University of Technology can be described as rapid, it is still in the basic stage.
The knowledge taught is second-tier in Europe.
No way, the background is completely different.
Even if there is a bug like Li Qiwei, there is nothing he can do about those things that are accumulated.
Human beings are not machines, they will do what they are taught.
And judging from the current situation in China, it is already a great thing to have a large number of undergraduate students with basic scientific knowledge.
According to the data sent by He Yujie, it has gone through nearly ten years of development.
In the field of natural sciences, China currently has more than 3,000 talents with undergraduate degrees.
If compared horizontally, this number is of course pitifully small, not even as good as Sakura Country.
But in vertical comparison, it is simply an unprecedented achievement.
This is all due to China’s huge population.
Even if you choose one out of ten thousand, you can still choose tens of thousands.
This is the advantage of a big country. Population is the factor that crushes everything.
And now that everything is on track, this number will grow faster and faster.
The only thing you need to worry about is domestic changes, which may have a certain impact on education.
After Li Qiwei returns, he will also try his best to solve this matter.
Of course, among so many undergraduates, even fewer can continue their scientific research careers.
Original research is a luxury for Sakura Country. The current China is still far behind.
Thinking of this, Li Qiwei said:
“You have achieved this level in a short period of time, which is already very good.”
"As for the issue of scientific research professors, we can't rush it for the time being."
"The Spark Project has only been developed for ten years, and it is still in the stage of laying the foundation."
"When I go back, I will Establish a standardized research system.”
“And do some targeted training and education work to accelerate the level of original research in the country.”
Qian Wushi and the other three were confident after hearing this. Big increase.
The undergraduate education system previously implemented by Li Qiwei in the Qing Dynasty was a great success.
Proves his foresight.
Professor Li is now the number one person in the field of educational science in China.
Therefore, they are full of confidence in their next plans for graduate education and professional research institutes.
With this Dinghai Shenzhen here, the scientific undertakings in China and Borneo will surely flourish again at a high speed.
Finally, Li Qiwei said: "After you receive the award, don't be in a hurry to go back. Come with me then."
"I plan to go back early next year."
——
As the three men from Qian's Fifth Division arrived in the UK, there was soon an endless stream of people coming to congratulate them.
Most of them are related to the field of superconductivity.
Superconductivity is now a hot topic of research, and there are too many topics that can be studied in both theoretical and material directions.
Of course, there are still many who come mainly for Li Qiwei.
Rutherford and Wilson were the first to come to congratulate.
Rutherford held Fifth Master Qian's hand and smiled:
"Tsien, congratulations to you, what an amazing achievement."
Wilson said:
"You are now as famous as your mentor."
"Both are Nobel Prize winners in physics."
Qian Wushi is the most famous among the three. He is good at communication, and he was the leader in the discovery of superconductivity, so he is usually the substitute in such situations.
Qian Huzhou and Deng Huaining shook hands with Rutherford and Wilson respectively.
After all, Lu Wei and the two were considered seniors of Qian Fifth Division, so after the greetings were completed, Li Qiwei led him to chat alone.
The three teachers and students from the Fifth Teacher Qian were taken away by other teachers and students from the Physics Department of King's College.
In the director's office, Li Qiwei personally poured tea for the two of them.
This time, he took out the treasures he had collected instead of the fools before.
Rutherford looked confused as soon as he took a taste.
"Bruce, did you get the wrong tea? Why does it taste wrong?"
"Take out your good tea quickly."
Li Qiwei said with a smile: "This is the new one in my house. The good tea sent has a different taste.”
“Oh.” Rutherford believed it.
Li Qiwei also felt the long-lost fun.
Wilson is now 44 years old and Rutherford is 42 years old.
Even Li Qiwei himself is no longer young. He is 33 years old this year.
The three of them are already mature middle-aged men.
They recalled their years in Cavendish, which was one of the most precious memories in their lives.
Wilson sighed: "In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed."
"I still remember the way Bruce was doing the questions on the blackboard."
Li Qiwei said with a smile: "Thanks to your question, I can become famous."
"It is said that this question now There are many variations, and many students have been tortured to death."
"The culprit is you, Wilson."
The three of them laughed.
Rutherford took a sip of tea and said:
"Bruce, this time you go back to build a city of science. How long will it take before you return to Europe?"
"According to my prediction, so A huge project cannot be completed in ten or twenty years."
"If you want to continue doing research, you still have to come back."
Prang replied. Professor Ke also asked me this question.”
"It's hard to say the specific time."
"And don't you think the atmosphere in Europe is a bit tense recently?"
Rutherford's expression changed, and he quickly understood.
"Indeed, the situation feels weird recently."
"I hope nothing happens."
In real history, after the outbreak of World War I, Rutherford was invited by the British military to calculate the location of enemy submarines.
His own research has fallen behind.
Li Qiwei said with emotion: "Wars happen every day in this world."
"How happy it is to have a piece of pure land where you can do research quietly."
Rutherford nodded, thoughtfully.
At this time, Wilson continued:
“A few days ago, the Prime Minister just invited Professor Thomson to consult.”
“Bruce, I guess your Science City plan should be very successful. It will be approved soon.”
“Oh?” Li Qiwei really didn’t know.
It seems that the British government is still very careful.
It is estimated that the experts hired are mature and prudent.
Young people like Rutherford were not invited.
Because being young often means being impulsive and radical.
Not as experienced as Crooks, Thomson and others, and can see far.
“That’s great, I’ve been worried before.”
"With Professor Thomson taking the initiative, there shouldn't be much of a problem."
Thanks to his recent frequent exchanges and study visits, his image as a pure scholar has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
And Li Qiwei did not let the British government pay, only the land.
Since Li Qiwei came to England, everything he did was aboveboard.
Cultivate local British talents, increase the school’s reputation, and join the Royal Society.
In every sense of the word, he was an admirer of the British Empire.
This is why British Prime Minister Asquith is relieved.
Rutherford sighed with emotion: "Although we are all optimistic about the future of the City of Science."
"But I still can't figure it out, Bruce, why do you spend so much energy on this?" Something?”
“With your current status, you can become the center anywhere and continue your research.”
Faced with questions from his friends, Li Qiwei was unwilling to hide it.
He thought for a while and said with a smile:
“Actually, I also have selfish motives in building a city of science.”
“I chose Asia as the location. In order to take care of China”
“The scientific level in Asia is really far behind Europe”
"The total population of China is almost the same as that of the entire Europe, but its scientific talents may not even match one percent."
"So, I want to help the country in this way."< br>
“Although I may not necessarily stay there permanently, my focus in the early stage is still on Europe.”
“But even very simple academic research is of great significance to China and Asia. It is already a valuable wealth of experience.”
“We also want to catch up with the pace of scientific civilization.”
Rutherford and Wilson were moved by Ridgway's innocence.
“This is the real blues.”
