Chapter 401 Quantum Research Institute! The legend continues!
After China entered the Republic of China, although the government legislated to use the Gregorian calendar in order to integrate with international standards.
However, the people still spontaneously retain the lunar calendar method.
Of course, those Chinese who struggled in Nanyang also retained this tradition.
Borneo is no exception.
January 31, 1919, is China’s New Year’s Eve.
This night is a time for family reunion.
All Chinese people around the world will celebrate the arrival of the New Year tonight.
After Li Qiwei returned to China, he also spent several New Year's Eves.
But tonight was undoubtedly the most unforgettable and the most reluctant for him.
Because he is about to leave for Europe again to start his peak legend.
Father Li and mother Li looked at their son with relief.
Although I feel very reluctant to give up, I also know that my son is going to do big things.
Leaving Borneo is only part of the plan.
This era is the best era for the brave.
Their son is more famous than the president of the country.
Such great people, with their little knowledge, are no longer able to make plans or give suggestions.
"Weier, no matter what happens, your family will be your strongest support."
The eldest brother and the second brother are so heroic and not sad at all because the third brother left.
“Oh, I want to see my third brother. It only takes more than twenty days to go there.”
They are very satisfied with their current life.
Stay away from the chaos at home and carve out a pure land overseas.
The most important thing is that the Li family has formed a great relationship.
There is no one in China who would not be grateful to their family.
This made Li Bokai and Li Zhongxing feel extremely proud.
And the brothers are also doing their best to do more for this country.
In addition to education and science, there are still big problems in other aspects in China.
Especially the melee between various warlords caused huge damage.
Li Bokai has even taken in many wives and children of his former comrades.
They are all victims of war.
They are all people forgotten by history, or they are just numbers.
However, in Li Bokai's eyes, they are all living people.
Although staying and working in Borneo will not make them rich, it is a rare happiness in this era.
This is a special era where greatness and humbleness, ambition and ordinaryness, war and poetry blend together.
But no matter how you describe it, one thing can be confirmed.
That's not the best of times.
Because Li Qiwei has seen the best of times with his own eyes.
At this moment, on the top of Kuching, on the cliff mountain by the sea, the waves are rolling and the breeze is blowing.
Li Qiwei hugged him from left to right, looked far north, and expressed his most sincere wish.
“I want to personally end all misfortunes in China.”
Wang Luyao and Song Xianglan looked at their husband with admiration.
Although they are already an old couple, they are still attracted by Li Qiwei's spirit.
It was as if nothing in the world could trouble him.
But after all, they will be separated soon, Wang Luyao said with a trace of reluctance in his tone.
"Mr. Sir, how long are you going to Europe this time."
Li Qiwei k I will come back."
"When the time comes, I will stay with you forever."
"We will watch the mountains, the sea, and the wind together."
< br>
Xiang Lan asked: "What about your scientific research, young master?"
Li Qiwei hugged the two of them tightly and laughed:
"Haha, my husband is a theoretical physicist. Home.”
“A piece of paper, a pen, and two beauties are enough.”
The three of them smiled happily.
——
February 20, 1919, is an auspicious day, so it is good to travel.
A luxury ship sailed in the South China Sea, cutting through the waves, heading towards Europe.
On the deck, Li Qiwei looked far into the distance.
On his left and right stood Wang Zhengyang and Huo Xiuting respectively.
On this trip, Li Qiwei only took the two of them with him.
“Zhengyang, why do you want to follow me to Europe?”
“Are you not satisfied with my arrangement for your release?”
Wang Zhengyang became Li Qiwei’s I have been a secretary for almost five years.
On this trip to Europe, Li Qiwei had no intention of taking him with him, but wanted to arrange for him to work.
As his secretary, Wang Zhengyang's future is definitely extremely bright.
Whether you are working in politics or studying, you have starting points and resources that ordinary people cannot imagine.
But I didn’t expect this guy to be very stubborn and wanted to go to Europe with him.
"Principal, you are alone outside, I am afraid that Brother Huo will not be able to take care of you."
"I will help you handle daily official duties and other tedious matters, and it can also save you money. energy.”
"Besides, I am still young, and I want to follow you to see more of the world."
"I have traveled almost all of Asia, and I want to visit Europe with my own eyes."
"Look at them How is it better than us?"
Li Qiwei praised: "Not bad"
"Zhengyang, I am very happy that you have such an idea."
"Being behind is not terrible. What is terrible is being behind and not knowing it."
Huo Xiuting suddenly raised his hand and said:
"Principal, we in China also have a leading place."
Wang Zhengyang secretly suppressed a laugh, Brother Huo was bragging again.
“Our martial arts is the best in the world.”
Li Qiwei smiled and recalled the grand occasion of that day.
The opening ceremony of Huaxia Martial Arts University brought together martial arts masters from dozens of countries around the world.
Of course, on the surface they are here to congratulate, but in reality they are here to cause trouble.
Martial Arts: In martial arts, big fists are the last word.
No matter how loud the blow is, you will know by comparing the true and false.
If China cannot accept this challenge, then this martial arts university will become a joke.
Masters from various countries take turns to challenge the masters from China.
In the face of this kind of national honor, those old people no longer hide it.
I have used all the internal skills and mental methods to press the bottom of the box.
It shocked those foreign martial arts masters.
Let them know what Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is and has a long history.
Twenty-eight challenge matches, China won all!
Especially in the weapons battle, Hiroshima Nakayama, known as the god of swordsmanship in Sakura Kingdom and the number one person in the martial arts world of Sakura Kingdom, even lost an arm.
The one who defeated him was Li San and Huo Xiuting’s master, the sharpshooter Li Shuwen!
Zhongshan Bodao has been obsessed with kendo since he was a child. He practices various martial arts every day and sleeps less than four hours.
He combined the three disciplines of Kendo, Iaido, and Staff Way into one, and his swordsmanship has reached an advanced level, which is unprecedented.
However, in the face of Li Shuwen's rainstorm pear blossom marksmanship, he could only get beaten.
This competition pushed the momentum of Huaxia Martial Arts University to its peak.
Martial arts, China should be number one!
So, no wonder Huo Xiuting always talks about this matter, it is indeed something to be proud of.
And this time Li Qiwei went to Europe for the future, China is also well-deserved number one in literature.
At this time, Wang Zhengyang asked: "Principal, can you tell us about the Quantum Research Institute we are going to next?"
"It is the research institute you established. Why? The big guys in Europe don’t know.” After hearing this, Li Qiwei smiled and was full of expectations for the future.
He explained the background to the two of them so that they could familiarize themselves with the situation and understand the next work.
With Li Qiwei's status at this time, returning to Europe is definitely a big deal.
It is no exaggeration to say that it attracts global attention.
When he returned to China and Europe for the first time, he even had to find a job by himself.
On the recommendation of Professor Thomson, he finally chose King's College London.
The result is that this second-rate university has been transformed into a top first-rate university in the world.
Today, Richardson heads the physics department at King's College, inheriting all of Ridgway's ideas and regulations.
King's College London is still going strong.
This shows how important a great physicist is to a university.
Now, Li Qiwei has published the general theory of relativity, laid the foundation for the Bohr-Lee model, and won four Nobel Prizes.
Such a super boss will receive top-notch treatment wherever he goes.
No more looking for a job on your own.
The first is the invitation at the national level.
More than a dozen countries in Europe have extended olive branches to Li Qiwei.
Some invited him to be the Minister of Education, some were invited to be the Minister of Science and Technology, and some were simply chosen by the presidents of universities across the country.
In short, it’s just like pretending that as long as you come, you can take whatever you want.
All he had to do was kneel in front of Li Qiwei and beg for a flop.
Germany, through Professor Planck, expressed its eagerness for talents to Li Qiwei.
Planck wrote in the letter:
"Bruce, if you are willing to come to Germany, you can immediately serve as the director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Physics."
This research institute is not ordinary. After all, it bears the name of the German Emperor.
Its influence in Germany is huge.
In real history, Einstein once held this position.
But Li Qiwei still did not accept it.
It’s not that I don’t want to, but Germany’s position at this time is a bit embarrassing.
He himself is still hanging around in the territory of the British Empire.
If he were to take up a post in Germany, his career in Borneo would probably be greatly affected.
In addition, there is another important reason, that is, it is a bit unsafe in Germany.
After Mustache comes to power, he, a Chinese, will be the director of Germany, and he will probably be unable to bear the consequences.
This guy doesn’t care about your status as a scientist.
There was even a reward for Einstein's head, which was truly terrifying.
Therefore, even though his mentor spoke in person, Li Qiwei could only refuse.
After the country, it is the invitation from the university itself.
Almost all the top universities in the world are rushing to send invitations.
Even many universities directly promised:
"If Professor Bruce is willing to condescend to come here, the position of president will be ready for him."
This principal is not an honorary principal, but a real principal who holds the power of life and death.
Of course, Cambridge and Oxford are not included in this list, they are still a little coy.
Princeton University in the United States is the most active.
As the American university with the deepest relationship with Professor Bruce.
Princeton can be said to have ruined the strength of nine cows and two tigers.
Working through Richardson, several more earnest requests were sent.
Only so that Li Qiwei could take up a post there.
Unfortunately, Li Qiwei has no plans to go to the United States.
Besides, he doesn’t really want to be the principal.
He went to Europe mainly for scientific research in physics.
Completely transform quantum theory into quantum mechanics and start the study of atomic nuclei.
Let the theoretical foundations of the atomic bomb be completed and then packed up and taken away.
Go back to Borneo and start the Pangu Project.
Being the principal will distract him from too much energy.
And these universities are also trying to get Li Qiwei for free.
The success of King's College has shown them the benefits.
Finally, it’s a personal invitation.
Rutherford invited Li Qiwei to serve as head of the physics department at Manchester Polytechnic University.
This was also Rutherford's own previous position.
This is not that he is deliberately belittling Li Qiwei, but that he is very clear about his old friend's ambitions.
"Bruce, you would rather continue to be a professor of physics than being the principal."
This year Rutherford officially took over Thomson's position and became the fourth generation head of the Cavendish Laboratory. .
Commonly known as the fourth generation: Lu Shuimen.
He knew Professor Thomson's arrangements well in advance.
That’s why I recommended my position to Li Qiwei.
Ridgway declined Rutherford's kindness and joked:
"I'm afraid that after I go to Manchester Polytechnic, I will be too successful and affect your reputation as Professor Rutherford."
Rutherford's teeth were itching with anger, and he was ready to wait for Ridgway to come and make him look good.
The other guy, Bohr, tried his best to invite Li Qiwei to be the director of his research institute.
Although Bohr's institute belongs to the University of Copenhagen, it is almost his own private residence.
He himself has absolute authority over the institute.
Bohr knew that his mentor could not stay in Europe for long and would have to go back sooner or later.
Why don’t you hurry up and gather the wool?
If Professor Bruce can be invited to Denmark, Denmark will immediately become the scientific center of Europe.
It’s beautiful to think about.
The beads of Bohr's abacus were struck, and Li Qiwei could hear the sound thousands of miles away.
Unfortunately, after Li Qiwei rejected Planck as his mentor, he ruthlessly rejected Bohr as his beloved disciple.
Because, he made a better decision.
In late 1918, Li Qiwei was already preparing to return to Europe.
The location he finally chose was the UK.
There is no way, Britain is still the boss now, and it has to bow its head.
The cause of Borneo requires British acquiescence and support.
Because he is mainly interested in scientific research and does not want to manage various affairs of the school.
So, he decided to directly establish a research institute and serve as the director.
The institute is a joint venture with the United Kingdom in the name of China.
This is also to cultivate talents from both countries in the future.
Nowadays, educational and scientific exchanges between China and the West are very frequent.
The establishment of the institute marks a new stage in the relationship between the two parties.
The United Kingdom provided funds to build the research institute, while China provided only one person.
Well, fair enough.
In the end, Li Qiwei personally made the decision to name the institute [Quantum Research Institute].
Quantum is the beginning of his legend in the world of physics and the ultimate goal of his trip.
So, it is appropriate to use quantum as the name.
At the end of January this year, the Quantum Research Institute was almost completed.
Li Qiwei is not a person who likes to show off.
It had been kept secret before, so Rutherford, Bohr and others did not know about it.
Now, just after he arrives in the UK, the Quantum Research Institute can officially announce it to the outside world.
And its establishment will definitely leave the most important chapter in the history of physics.
Li Qiwei started a legend due to the quantum beginning.
And now, the legend continues!
