Chapter 374 Li Qiwei wins another Nobel Prize! The name of the saint spreads throughout the world!
After the conference of the Huaxia Science Society, Li Qiwei stayed in Shanghai for half a month.
During this period, he communicated with people from all walks of life in the country to discuss the future of the nation and the rise of the country.
At the same time, a new cultural movement was in full swing.
Li Qiwei’s acquaintances, Zhou Yucai, Li Leting and others all joined in.
This anti-traditional and anti-classical movement caused huge waves in the domestic literary and art circles.
Under Li Qiwei’s instruction, the Chinese Science Society also published a public article declaring its firm support for the New Culture Movement.
Switching to vernacular will be more conducive to the dissemination of science and technology in the country.
Hua Xia Science Society immediately caused a huge sensation.
At this moment, people discovered that the president of this quietly established scientific organization was actually the famous Professor Li Qiwei.
Everyone is full of curiosity about the Science Club.
One literature and one science, the simultaneous explosion of two major fields heralded great changes in China.
After discussing with Ren Hongjun and others, Li Qiwei decided to open the honorary membership system of the Huaxia Science Society.
That is, all celebrities in non-scientific fields have the opportunity to receive invitations from the Huaxia Science Society and become honorary members.
Honorary members do not need to participate in the specific work of the Science Society, but they must exert their respective influence to expand the social network and resources for the society.
In this way, a win-win situation can be achieved.
Soon, several big guys joined in, adding new vitality to the science club.
After seeing that Huaxia Science Society was working steadily and on the right track, Li Qiwei finally felt relieved.
He can leave the next thing to Ren Hongjun and others.
On October 23, 1915, Li Qiwei boarded a ship heading south to Guangzhou.
He wanted to visit his hometown in Guangzhou before returning to Borneo.
And the Chinese delegation to the first International Physics Olympiad studied at Guangdong University.
Although Li Qiwei enforces the law impartially and remains neutral, it does not mean that he cannot visit and encourage these students.
When the ship was halfway to the dock for supplies, Li Qiwei saw the latest news about this year's Nobel Prize in the newspaper.
Although the war in Europe brought serious disasters to various countries, Sweden, located in a corner, maintained strict neutrality.
In such a difficult environment, the annual Nobel Prize selection process continues.
Li Qiwei looked through the information in the newspaper, which is a popular science newspaper under the Science Society.
Nowadays, they are sold in almost all the big cities along the coast of China.
Of course, in terms of sales volume, it is still incomparable to big newspapers like Shenbao.
No way, you can't serialize novels and jokes in popular science newspapers.
Therefore, at present, the main audience of Science Society newspapers is still elites and progressive people.
Today is the latest issue, which details the latest news about this Nobel Prize.
Originally Li Qiwei was not prepared to take a closer look. Anyway, it should not be much different from what he remembered.
However, when he finished reading it, the expression on his face was extremely shocked.
“I actually won an award?”
I saw the headlines, the news is as follows:
1915 Nobel Prize in Physics: Henry Bragg, Lawrence Bragg (Bragg and his son).
The reason for the award is: the study of crystal structure using X-rays.
1915 Nobel Prize in Chemistry: Willstetter.
The reason for the award is: research on chlorophyll.
1915 Nobel Prize for Literature: Romain Rolland.
The reasons for the award are: the noble ideals in literary works and his sympathy and love for truth in depicting various types of characters.
The above are the awards in real history.
However, at this moment, the Peace Prize, which was originally vacant and not awarded this year, is now listed.
1915 Nobel Peace Prize: Bruce Lee!
Awarded for: Extensive humanitarian work during the war.
Wow!
At this moment, even with Li Qiwei's mentality, he was no longer calm.
I didn’t expect that my previous behavior would impress the Nobel Prize Committee.
He had never thought about this before.
At his level, the so-called Nobel Prize is already the icing on the cake.
Even if he gets several more, it will only enhance his legend.
Ordinary people will think it is very awesome.
But in the field of science, the big guys will only lament: The Nobel Prize is taking advantage of Professor Bruce.
Of course, winning a Nobel Prize is always a good thing.
However, Li Qiwei suddenly thought about why he had not received advance notice from Sweden.
According to past practice, the winner is the first to know the winning information.
It is impossible to be like now. I had to find out from the newspaper that I had won the award.
It seems that the war did have a great impact on the Nobel Prize.
This time it is estimated that the list will be announced directly.
It is also understandable that it is not easy to find someone during the war.
And telegraphs in many places have been controlled.
Even if Sweden wants to notify me, it is unable to do so.
So I just announced it directly, which can be regarded as a special matter.
At this time, Wang Zhengyang ran over excitedly and laughed loudly:
"Principal, you have won the Nobel Prize again."
Huo Xiuting was also very happy on the sidelines. He could still understand this kind of non-scientific award.
"Master, you are so amazing."
Li Qiwei waved his hand and said with emotion: "Hey, I would rather not win this award."
"Peace Prize, Peace Prize, that means it is related to war.”
"I hope this award will never be awarded."
"That means the world will always be peaceful."
Li Qiwei's faint voice made Wang Zhengyang and Huo Xiuting admire them.
They felt a great love from the heart.
The man in front of me has a mind as broad as the sea outside.
However, although Li Qiwei didn't care, this year's Nobel Prize still caused an uproar in the world.
Because almost all the winners this time are topical figures.
The first is the Nobel Prize in Physics for the Prague father and his son.
Father and son were awarded the Nobel Prize at the same time. This is definitely the only case among the Nobel Prizes that have been awarded for more than ten times.
For a time, the reputation of the Braggs and his son was at its peak.
Because this thing is so legendary.
But soon, some people began to question this.
“Tsk, tsk, why do I feel that old Prague brought his son with him on purpose.”
“Little Prague is only 25 years old this year. He should be the youngest Nobel laureate besides Professor Bruce. He’s the winner.”
“It’s a pity that I don’t have a professor dad.”
Faced with such doubts, the Braggs did not come forward to clarify.
Today, the elder Bragg is working as a professor of physics at University College London.
In addition, he also secretly served the British government and participated in research on submarine detection.
German submarines posed a huge threat to the British Navy.
This elusive undersea weapon caused the Allied navy to suffer a lot.
Therefore, the UK is thinking of ways to develop technology that can remotely detect submarines.
A large number of domestic scientists such as Rutherford and Old Prague were invited to participate in research and development.
So, now Old Prague only has military work in his eyes, and he can't bother to explain the Nobel Prize. As for young Bragg, he is currently a lecturer at Cambridge University.
Although he won the Nobel Prize, he is still a junior in the field of physics.
When his father didn't say anything, he couldn't be the first to fight.
Thomson found him and said to him: "Don't think too much, those are all rumors spread by people who don't understand physics."
"Even Professor Bruce praised you for your intelligence. ."
"You have to have confidence."
"Do you think an ordinary person could achieve Bohr's achievements?"
Little Bragg was relieved.
Bohr's achievements were almost completed under the guidance of Professor Bruce.
But Bragg Jr. thought to himself that even if he had guidance, he would not be able to come up with such an incredible quantum model theory.
So, personal ability is always the most critical.
But after all, he suddenly received such an honor at such a young age, so it must be a lie to say he doesn't care when faced with doubts.
At this time, his mentor Thomson was like a wise elder, enlightening him and letting him recognize himself.
“What are my achievements compared to Professor Bruce?”
“It would be an insult to physics if I even have to explain this question myself. ”
Yes, in the eyes of young Bragg, his and his father’s achievements are ranked in the third echelon at best.
Far from being comparable to the theory of relativity and quantum theory.
Therefore, little Prague calmed down.
He wants to spend all his energy on physics research.
Only real results are the best weapon to respond to doubts.
The second topical figure is Romain Rolland.
During the war, this great writer published many articles criticizing the war.
He even spoke fiercely and offended his own compatriots.
Many French people are very disgusted with Romain Rolland and call him a traitor to the country.
But now, the other party actually won the Nobel Prize in Literature.
This moment was very embarrassing.
Which country doesn’t treat its own Nobel laureates as treasures now?
This is huge prestige and influence.
It plays an important role in improving the country’s soft power.
However, this kind of boss was scolded by his own countrymen before, and he did not even dare to return home.
For a moment, everyone thought of the original Madame Curie incident.
The Nobel Prize is indeed a killer of public opinion.
If something happens to it, the momentum will be weakened by three points.
Moreover, it can also be seen from this that Sweden takes the Nobel Prize seriously.
Their evaluation of Romain Rolland's award was purely literary and did not mention the other party's views on the war at all.
This is the real matter-of-fact discussion.
It also reflects the professionalism and authority of the Nobel Prize.
As for the third topical figure, it must be Li Qiwei.
This time the Peace Prize is both unexpected and reasonable.
After the war broke out in Europe, Li Qiwei successively made efforts to call for peace.
He first persuaded the German government to release Eddington and his party.
Then he published "A Letter to Scientists Around the World" and became the first scientist to speak out.
Use his unparalleled influence to make people look at war soberly.
Then, he released the astonishing work "Insects".
With the promotion of Welles and others, "Bug" became a masterpiece that promoted anti-war ideas and became popular all over the world.
Finally, Li Qiwei donated all the copyright proceeds from "Bugs".
The original estimate was 50,000 pounds, but now, after statistics, it is close to 100,000 pounds.
Such kind deeds made everyone in Europe believe from the bottom of their hearts that Professor Bruce deserved to win the Peace Prize.
Geneva, Switzerland, at the General Assembly of the International Committee of the Red Cross.
The current president, Gustav, said impassionedly:
“Professor Bruce Lee winning this year’s Peace Prize is a great encouragement to the cause of world peace.”
< br>“He is not a politician, not the founder or member of a peace organization, nor is he a jurist, lawyer, etc.”
“But he still unreservedly contributes to the cause of peace.”
“Moreover, he is still an Asian.”
“This shows that peace is important to everyone in the world. People's responsibility."
"No matter what his nationality and occupation are."
"Even Professor Bruce's country has been invaded by European countries."
< br>
"Even so, Professor Bruce does not hold a grudge."
"Because in his eyes, those who start the war and those who suffer because of the war are two different people."
" The former needs our condemnation, while the latter needs our protection."
"Professor Bruce is not only a great scientist, he is also a wise man full of philanthropy."
"To show my respect for Professor Bruce, I have applied to the conference."
"I hope to establish a representative office of the International Committee of the Red Cross in China."
"There is an old saying in China, which is to repay kindness in return."
"I hope that all goodwill in the world should be responded to in kind. ”
Wow!
The venue with hundreds of people in the audience burst into earth-shattering applause, as if the haze of war had been dispelled.
Soon, President Gustav’s speech was reprinted in major newspapers.
Li Qiwei's name once again resounded throughout the world.
This time, everyone even forgot that Professor Bruce already had two Nobel Prizes.
Because the significance of the Peace Prize has long transcended the award itself.
When the news spread within China, it caused another sensation.
Ministers and consuls from European countries in China expressed their gratitude and congratulations to the government.
They praised Professor Li Qiwei for winning the Peace Prize as a manifestation of China’s enlightened spirit.
China is actively integrating into the international community.
Lao Yuan even publicly told reporters from various countries that when he first met Li Qiwei, he could tell he was extraordinary.
The two had a lot of exchanges and ideas about the future of the country.
"I miss Professor Li Qiwei very much."
At the same time, the news that Li Qiwei founded the Chinese Science Society also spread like wildfire and became widely known.
The goals and purposes of Huaxia Science Society are admired and respected by countless people.
This is Li Qiwei leading a group of passionate young people, trying to change the world for China's scientific cause.
Coupled with his previous donation of 3 million taels to domestic education, everyone sighed:
"Professor Li is truly a saint."
It was against this backdrop of nationwide cheers that Li Qiwei finally arrived in Guangzhou.
Although he tried to keep a low profile, he was warmly welcomed by big guys from all walks of life in Guangdong Province.
This is a figure whose fame even surpasses that of the president.
No Chinese can match the other party's international influence.
Guangzhou is the hometown of Professor Li Qiwei and the beginning of his career.
