Chapter 402 Research Institute is launched! Declaration of God: I am here for quantum theory! The world of physics is shocked!
On March 15, 1919, Ridgway and the others finally arrived in London after more than 20 days.
Since the ship carried a wireless telegraph, his itinerary was kept public.
Rutherford, Wilson, Richardson, Bakra and other representatives of British physicists were already waiting eagerly at the dock.
Behind them were their respective students, all of whom came to welcome Professor Bruce.
Wilson even said with emotion: "Why do I feel that when Bruce comes, even the air becomes sweeter."
Now Wilson can be said to be in high spirits, because he has finally become a professor.
What a pity, I will never encounter this dilemma again in future meetings:
“Hello, Professor Thomson.”
“Hello, Rutherford Professor.”
"Hello, Professor Bruce."
"Hello, Mr. Wilson."
Wilson is now Professor of Natural Philosophy at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge University.
His research direction also turned to atmospheric electricity, and he successfully transformed into the King of Thunder and Lightning.
Wilson’s point of view made everyone look at each other and nodded in agreement.
Without Professor Bruce, the physics community always feels that something is missing.
Especially after four years of war, the current physics community and even the entire scientific community need a hearty vent.
In terms of ability to get things done, is there anyone else who can match Professor Bruce?
Woo~~~
The low whistle of the ship brought everyone's thoughts back.
Everyone looked excited.
“Here it comes!”
“Professor Bruce is here!”
Amidst everyone’s expectations and cheers, Li Qiwei finally appeared.
With a trademark smile on his face, he shook hands and hugged everyone one by one.
"Oh, Rutherford, Wilson, you two actually have white hair on your heads."
There was a hint of emotion in his tone.
The Cavendish trio, who were once full of energy, are now middle-aged.
Rutherford is 48 years old this year, and Wilson is exactly 50 years old this year.
Li Qiwei is also 39 years old, but in front of the two of them, he will always be the younger brother.
Rutherford smiled and said:
"Bruce, in your Chinese terms, I am getting stronger with age."
"Although I have more gray hairs, I have also achieved more results."
"This is a good thing, a good thing."
Wilson took over and said: "Bruce, I am a professor."
Li Qiwei teased: "Oh, congratulations, Professor Thunder."
Everyone laughed.
The three of them do not have the decadent atmosphere of middle-aged people, but are as energetic as young people.
Perhaps this is the charm of physics.
In the face of the great truth, even the tens of billions of years old universe is just a child.
How could they, devout seekers of the truth, dare to overstep their bounds?
Such a joyful scene made everyone present feel moved for a long time.
Back.
Everything is back.
The world of physics is about to start boiling again.
After leaving the pier, everyone went straight to the hotel.
Richardson prepared an internal welcome banquet for Ridgway in London.
The people who came were basically Li Qiwei’s friends of the same generation.
This is also what Li Qiwei requested.
First of all, he didn’t want to overdo it and stir up trouble.
Europe has just experienced such a trauma. If he keeps a high profile, wouldn't he be deliberately annoying?
It is not consistent with his status as a Peace Nobel Prize winner.
Secondly, he has reached Li Qiwei’s current level and realm.
He no longer needs any additional form to express glory.
His name has been turned into a symbol, representing science.
Being with Rutherford and others, on the contrary, I can feel a sense of calm.
Here he can speak freely.
As for Thomson and other elders, they did not come.
Because Li Qiwei wants to visit in person.
Whether it is East or West, no matter how high a person's status is, the basic ethics such as respecting teachers and respecting Taoism are the same.
During the banquet, everyone was chatting and laughing, venting the emotions accumulated in their hearts.
Rutherford gave a vivid description of his work in the British military.
Everyone can relate to it. The impact of war on ordinary people is really great.
Rutherford said with emotion:
“This is almost a world-class war.”
"Even Bruce's homeland, China, sent troops to participate in the war."
"There has never been such a large-scale war in the entire history of mankind."
"It is absolutely an unprecedented disaster. ”
Everyone agrees with Rutherford’s point of view.
This kind of war is the pinnacle of thousands of years.
Not only is it the most intense, but it also lasts a long time.
It will never happen again.
Only Li Qiwei took a sip of the whiskey in his hand.
"Unfortunately, you all guessed wrong."
"World War II will be more violent and longer-lasting than World War I."
At this time, Rutherford suddenly changed the subject and asked with a smile:
"Bruce, I heard that you rejected many invitations from universities."
"Not only did you reject my suggestion, you even Even Professor Planck and Bohr refused."
"What are your plans? Tell me honestly."
"I don't believe you are planning to come to England to become a vagrant. ”
"I won't give you alms."
Everyone laughed wildly.
But Rutherford’s question made everyone very curious.
When the news spread that Professor Bruce was returning to Europe, it caused a storm in the scientific community.
Everyone wants to know what choice this first man in science will make.
Wherever Professor Bruce goes, he becomes the center.
Even in Asia, he can create major events such as the Physics Olympiad that shocked the world.
With such influence, every move is exciting.
No matter what university he joins or what organization he joins, he will definitely cause a sensation.
But the strange thing is that Professor Bruce refused them all.
It seemed like nothing could touch his heart.
Li Qiwei looked at everyone, and then said with a smile:
"I came to Europe this time mainly for physics."
"Although Asian science has made huge achievements A leap forward, but it is not yet suitable for top-level academic exchanges.”
“Especially in physics, Europe is still the center of the world.”
"So, I have to come here."
"But I don't like the school very much. There are too many trivial things that will affect my thinking."
"So, I will go out independently. "
"As for what the plan is, please let me know."
"If everything goes well, you should receive my invitation soon."
Li Qiwei's words made all the big guys present look at each other.
It’s so mysterious.
It seems that Professor Bruce is causing trouble again.
However, Rutherford and Wilson, who knew Ridgway best, had wisdom shining in their eyes.
They have already guessed Li Qiwei’s plan.
——
The news that Li Qiwei had officially arrived in England spread like a hurricane.
Everyone is extremely curious about his fate.
At this moment, Li Qiwei, accompanied by Wang Zhengyang, came to a suburb of London.
The town of Greenwich.
This is a district in the southeast corner of Greater London.
The Royal Greenwich Observatory where Eddington was previously located is here. The town has beautiful scenery and green trees, far away from the air pollution in the city center.
There is also Greenwich Park, which is also one of the largest royal parks in the UK.
The small town of Greenwich is on the south bank of the Thames River, only about ten kilometers away from the city center.
Wang Zhengyang couldn't help but sigh:
"This is simply a paradise."
Where his hometown is, not to mention big trees, there is no grass.
Everywhere you look, everything is bare.
People of later generations have a misunderstanding.
I believe that the wilderness during the Qing Dynasty must have been lush with vegetation and full of life.
Actually not at all.
Li Qiwei saw with his own eyes the undertone of this era, which is gray.
Looking at the vast expanse of land, there is nothing at all.
Some wild grasses and vegetables have been dug up long ago.
As for real trees, they are precious strategic materials, and ordinary people should not think about them.
On the contrary, in later generations, when industry was extremely developed, there were more trees and flowers.
But at this moment, considering the national strength of the UK, it naturally has enough power to protect the domestic ecology.
So, it’s no wonder Wang Zhengyang was surprised.
“Principal, is the Quantum Research Institute here?”
Li Qiwei smiled softly.
“Yes.”
“This is the place I chose.”
“Let’s go and have a look together.”
Two People followed the path and soon came to a building.
The building has three floors in total and covers an area of about 400 square meters.
Looking from the exterior windows, there are at least twenty rooms inside.
For a research institute, it is completely enough.
In front of the building is a large lawn.
Wang Zhengyang has been completely attracted.
"This is not like a research institute, but more like a vacation villa."
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Of course, because this is the institute for Professor Bruce."
"He deserves the best, and that is our sincerity."
A well-dressed gentleman The middle-aged man in formal wear walked out of the research institute enthusiastically.
"Hello, Professor Bruce, I am Mark, who is in charge of the institute."
"Nice to meet you.
After hearing this, Li Qiwei had a smile on his face, but he couldn't bear it in his heart.
Cunning British guy!
He can’t take this institute with him in the future, so he has to stay in the UK.
No matter how good the construction is, it is all British stuff and has nothing to do with Li Qiwei.
And the other party can also use his theoretical results for free to cultivate talents for the UK.
It can be said that one can make a lot of money.
But what he said was very beautiful, and he was really careful in what he did.
Of course, he himself was engaging in prostitution for free, without paying a dime.
It's hard to be too harsh on this.
This is the true meaning of cooperation.
Li Qiwei stretched out his hand, and Mark quickly greeted it with both hands.
“Hello, Mr. Mark.”
“You really gave me a surprise.”
"I think this will definitely become the center of Britain in the future."
"Maybe even surpass Cavendish."
British official Mark smiled even happier.
“I believe in Professor Bruce’s strength.”
“Let’s go, professor, and this gentleman, I will take you to visit inside.”
With that said, the two of them, accompanied by Mark, entered the interior of the Quantum Research Institute.
“Professor, according to your requirements, each room is designed with different functions.”
“The first floor is mainly a place for large experimental instruments.”
"The second and third floors are various meeting rooms and staff office spaces."
"There are also some areas on the third floor that are utility rooms and places for employees to have fun and rest."
"In addition, we have reached a cooperation agreement with the University of Cambridge."
"Your quantum laboratory is qualified to train graduate students."
"Whether it is a master's degree or a doctorate, as long as it is passed by you If you pass the examination, you will be awarded a degree from the University of Cambridge."
"This is a joint training strategy."
"Of course, the criteria for recruiting graduate students are up to you."< br>
"Oh, God, Professor Bruce, please forgive me for being rude."
"Besides you, I can't imagine anyone else who could get the old diehards on the Cambridge Board of Trustees to agree to this plan."
“It’s really incredible.”
“This has never happened before.”
Li Qiwei smiled slightly, and as expected, pretending to be invisible is the highest level. Show off.
It seems that Cambridge University is very considerate of him as an outstanding graduate.
Half an hour later, Mark left, leaving behind the key to the institute.
Li Qiwei was sitting in the director's office and saw the Thames River not far away through the window.
His mood is like the river, calm on the surface but surging undercurrent.
“Next, let the world of physics tremble for me!”
——
March 20, 1919.
The Quantum Research Institute located in Greenwich, London, England, was officially established.
Li Qiwei announced the news to colleagues around the world through the journal "Nature".
Along with it, there is his declaration:
"This time, I'm here for quantum theory!"
Boom!
The entire physics world was shocked!
Everyone was shocked by the news.
“Oh, God, after Professor Bruce completed the theory of relativity, he finally turned his attention back to quantum theory.”
"And a quantum research institute has been established specifically."
"Quantum theory will become even more popular next."
"I also want to start studying quantum theory!"
>"You said, if I perfect quantum theory before Professor Bruce, wouldn't I be famous all over the world in an instant?"
"Sorry, we won't tell."
"."
Countless physicists are going crazy. They seem to have seen the bright future of quantum theory.
Cavendish Laboratory.
After hearing the news, Rutherford and Wilson looked as expected.
Wilson smiled and complained:
"Bruce really knows how to play tricks."
"Establishing a research institute can be promoted as if he established a new country."
Viagra's teeth are so sore, this The title of professor suddenly became unpopular again.
Rutherford said enthusiastically: "Now, the world of physics is going to be lively again."
"I'm really looking forward to it!"
Denmark.
Bohr looked at the message in his hand in shock.
“Wow!”
“The teacher actually established a quantum research institute directly.”
“Isn’t he going to study quantum theory with all his strength?”
"It's simply great!"
"Now, quantum theory will definitely shine."
"As it stands now, it is far from worthy of the name of the pillar of modern physics. Head.”
“I must go to the teacher’s unveiling ceremony”
After the announcement was issued, Li Qiwei invited physicists in the UK to participate in the unveiling ceremony of the quantum laboratory. .
As for friends from other countries who couldn't come because they were too far away, they all sent congratulations by sending telegrams.
Unless you are like Bohr and insist on coming to the scene.
