1900: A physics genius wandering around Europe

Chapter 339 Asia's own Nobel Prize! No one can surpass me!

The second Bruce Conference ended with unimaginable excitement and much reluctance from the public.

Everyone attending the conference knew that it would become one of the most significant events in the history of science.

No words of praise could be overstated to describe this conference.

It is not only a confrontation within science, but also a collision between natural science and social science.

Human rational wisdom was most brilliantly displayed at this moment.

Countless people were moved by it.

This conference gave birth to a world-renowned scientist.

From Ridgway's publication of the theory of general relativity, to the Iron Throne Conference, to the relativity report meeting.

In the past few months, the entire physics community, and even the scientific community, has had only one voice.

That was Ridgeway's voice.

He has transcended the limits of science and his name will be known to everyone in the world.

This is something that no one else can compare to.

Planck is not good enough, Morgan is not good enough, and none of the big names in various fields are good enough.

Even some heads of state do not have the same level of fame as Li Qiwei.

He became one of the most famous people in the world.

From then on, he became a benchmark in the field of science and a banner in the field of physics.

Li Qiwei's appeal in the field of science will reach an unimaginable level.

Truly achieve one call and a hundred responses.

Of course, being famous also has its side effects, which is that there is an endless stream of people visiting to see you every day.

In the villa on Garden Street, Li Qiwei was talking to the members of the Huaxia Education Delegation.

"Director Fan, I already know why you are here."

"But you should have understood from the previous meeting."

"My ideal is not to be an official, but to engage in academic research."

"I can understand why people in China want me to return."

"But I am not interested in this, so I can only ask you to find someone else."

Director Fan sighed softly. He was not surprised at all by Li Qiwei's refusal.

With one's current status, why would one go to China and wade into this muddy water?

Moreover, the sincerity of the country is indeed a bit low. They sent me, the director, who is not qualified enough.

"Professor Li, I also know that this visit is a bit abrupt."

"But the domestic education sector has indeed suffered a bit of a blow."

"The policies you formulated and promoted during the Qing dynasty required a huge amount of money by the standards of the Republic of China."

"but."

Speaking of this, Director Fan felt a little embarrassed.

"You should also understand the current situation. Education is really not that urgent."

"So, I hope you can give us some advice."

"On behalf of the students in China, I would like to thank you."

After saying that, Director Fan suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Li Qiwei.

Li Qiwei was shocked and quickly pushed him down.

Director Fan seems to be a passionate person, at least he shows no signs of corruption.

Li Qiwei's impression of him also improved a lot.

Nowadays, Li Qiwei likes people who do practical work instead of just shouting slogans.

People in later generations said that there were many masters in the Republic of China, but that was all just bragging.

At least he has never read any works of masters.

You can't be called a master just by saying a few clever words.

Everyone can ask questions, but the key is whether you can solve them.

According to Li Qiwei's standards, Hou Debang is worthy of the title of master.

Of course, at the age of 22, Hou did not go to study abroad at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States.

Instead, this year, he chose to study chemistry at Whampoa University of Technology in Borneo.

Although he is only a freshman, that's because he has worked for a period of time before.

Therefore, he studies more purposefully and knows what he needs.

He Yujie wrote to Li Qiwei at the time, saying, "I have discovered a young man who is very good at studying chemistry."

History has changed quietly.

Li Qiwei thought for a moment and prepared to speak out the plan he had already thought of in his mind.

"How about this, Director Fan?"

"It won't be long before I return to Borneo and build a city of science."

“I will build more universities and research institutes.”

"When the time comes, I will give priority to recruiting domestic talents, or those who want to continue their studies can come here."

"In addition, I will call on all sectors of society to set up an education fund specifically for supporting domestic education and scientific undertakings."

"The specific rules will need to be considered after I return."

"In short, I don't care what happens in other fields, but in the fields of education and technology, I don't want to face too much resistance."

"I hope you can express my demands to the higher-ups when you return to China."

"If not, then I can't do anything about it."

"Director Fan, you should understand why I want to build a science city overseas."

"I understand. Of course I understand." Director Fan replied excitedly.

He originally thought that this trip to Europe would be in vain, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise in the end.

The education system established by Li Qiwei during the Qing Dynasty was almost taken over and used in the Republic of China.

The officials from the Ministry of Education were increasingly shocked as they read on. It was unexpected that someone could develop such a detailed education reform plan so many years in advance.

But even a good cook cannot cook without rice.

No matter how good the system is, it is useless without money.

With a great figure like Li Qiwei stepping in, Director Fan is very confident that the country's education will surely be revived.

In particular, the establishment of the City of Science is of extraordinary significance to China.

These days, Chinese students can only study in the United States and Europe.

Not only is the journey long, but the cost is also high.

It would be very convenient if the top schools and research institutes were in Borneo.

Most importantly, there is Li Qiwei.

Wherever he is, even a barren land, it becomes a scientific center.

Is there any more authoritative scientist in this world than Li Qiwei?

Therefore, Director Fan was very happy at this moment.

He was not only happy that he had completed his task successfully and even exceeded the target, but he was also happy for the country's education cause.

Of course, he also knew that this kind of thing would not do Li Qiwei himself any good.

The other party did this purely out of patriotism.

Therefore, Director Fan admired Li Qiwei even more deeply.

"Thank you, Professor Ridgway, you are a true patriot."

Li Qiwei knew that the country wanted to fleece him.

But how could they understand how deeply they loved that land?

"Haha, Director Fan, you make me sound like a foreigner."

"My nationality now is authentic Chinese."

Director Fan joined in the laughter.

Just as Li San sent Director Fan out, Nagaoka Hantaro came over with his two students.

Previously at the meeting, he had already agreed with Li Qiwei on a time to visit him specifically.

Therefore, Li San directly led the three people into the room.

As soon as he saw Li Qiwei, Nagaoka Hantaro no longer had the demeanor of a big boss as before.

He took two steps at a time and walked forward quickly, saying excitedly:

"Professor Li, it has been eight years since we last met."

Nagaoka Hantaro didn't call Li Sang again.

Now that the other party's status is already extraordinary, calling him Sang seems a bit disrespectful and informal.

Li Qiwei extended his hand and said politely, "Yes, time flies. Please take a seat, Professor Nagaoka."

Nagaoka Hantaro sat down, while Ishihara Jun and Nishina Yoshio stood obediently at the back.

Li Qiwei knew Jun Ishihara, but he didn't know Yoshio Nishina.

However, given his current status, he didn't care.

Yoshio Nishina stood behind Hantaro Nagaoka and could just see Li Qiwei's side.

At this moment, a huge pressure rose in his heart.

Only by standing next to this man can you feel the vast and majestic pressure.

Previously in the meeting, Yoshio Nishina felt that Li Qiwei was easy to talk to.

He is humorous and knowledgeable, and seems very approachable.

However, at this moment he understood that everything before was an illusion.

This man exudes an extremely domineering aura.

That look of contempt for the world was unconcealed at all.

Yoshio Nishina was shocked.

Nagaoka Hantaro had no idea what his student was thinking. He just smiled and said:

"Professor Li, you are building a city of science in Borneo. Can our scientists from Sakura Country also go there?"

Li Qiwei said: "Of course, I welcome science enthusiasts from all countries in the world."

"The City of Science was built for science." "And I plan to set up an award in Asia specifically to compete with the Nobel Prize."

"Asia lags far behind Europe and the United States, and we need to do everything we can to catch up."

“And the awards will act as a great incentive.”

boom!
After hearing this, Nagaoka Hantaro was so excited that he was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.

The ranking of the Sakura Country in the field of science can only be considered third-rate internationally.

If we can join the City of Science, the benefits to improving the level of domestic scientific research will be self-evident.

Especially when the distance is close, frequent communication can promote the vigorous development of science.

Moreover, the establishment of the Asian Award will surely greatly encourage the enterprising spirit of Asians.

Nagaoka Hantaro can't wait to see that day.

"That's great, Professor Li."

"I think this news will definitely make people in China excited."

"Asia is so lucky to have someone like you."

"Otherwise, we have no presence or voice in the scientific field."

Nagaoka Hantaro was sighing there, and Li Qiwei smiled faintly and said nothing.

In fact, he had already established the Li Qiwei Award in the country a few years ago. (Chapter 192)
However, according to He Yujie's feedback, the results were minimal and no one in the country could win the award.

If the award is forced, it will be a blow to the authority of the Ridgway Award.

Li Qiwei was also helpless about this.

The current scientific research foundation in China is still too weak, and there is not even a research institute.

Fortunately, the four members of Qian Wu's division have already set off for Borneo.

They will not only be responsible for the establishment of major research institutes in Borneo, but will also help build scientific research infrastructure in China.

Li Qiwei is confident that in a few years, there will be very good original results in China.

Although it cannot be compared with the Nobel Prize, but if we take it step by step, sooner or later we will surpass it.

"Even if he is a genius who is one in ten thousand, China has forty thousand of them."

Li Qiwei fell into a beautiful dream.

Suddenly, Yoshio Nishina interrupted and said, "Professor Li, can I ask you a question?"

Ok?
Nagaoka Hantaro turned his head and glanced at Nishina Yoshio.

Then he turned to Li Qiwei and said with a smile: "This is my new student, his name is Yoshio Nishina."

Then he turned back and said to Yoshio Nishina, "Mr. Nishina, please be careful with your words."

Obviously, Nagaoka Hantaro knew that Yoshio Nishina was a young man with a strong personality.

He was worried that the other party would get carried away and say something he shouldn't.

Now, if the Sakura Country wants to develop science, especially physics, it cannot avoid Li Qiwei.

The second Bruce Conference made Nagaoka Hantaro feel the terrifying connections of Li Qiwei.

It is no exaggeration to say that the entire scientific community can be connected through Ridgway.

In the words of the Chinese, Li Qiwei is now a member of a powerful family and an academic tycoon.

Now it’s just that he doesn’t have enough students, so it seems that his power is still small.

But in a few decades, Nagaoka Hantaro believed that the other party would become the largest academic clique in the world.

The entire scientific community in Asia will tremble in his shadow.

By that time, Nagaoka Hantaro could not imagine what the status of the Sakura Country would be.

He simply stopped thinking about it. Each generation has its own responsibilities.

His responsibility is only to lay a solid foundation for Sakura Country.

When Li Qiwei heard the name Yoshio Nishina, all kinds of information about the other party suddenly appeared in his mind.

Hey!
It still poses a considerable threat in the future.

As expected, there are no unknown people around the big boss.

As a leader in the field of science in the Land of Sakura, Hantaro Nagaoka's students will eventually become big names in the country.

In real history, China lacks people like Michelson and Nagaoka Hantaro.

This has resulted in domestic scientific strength being relatively dispersed and unable to be concentrated.

This is the charm of a leader.

In this life, Li Qiwei has become a well-deserved scientific leader.

He will lead Chinese science to take a different path.

Li Qiwei stared at Yoshio Nishina for a while, putting great pressure on him.

"go ahead."

Yoshio Nishina took a deep breath and said cautiously, "Professor Li, how can I surpass you?"

Wow!
As soon as the question was asked, Nagaoka Hantaro and Ishihara Jun were both shocked and looked at Nishina Yoshio in disbelief.

"Nani?"

Nagaoka Hantaro really wanted to say "Baka", but he felt that it would be too hurtful to the other person.

So he looked at Li Qiwei carefully, hoping that he would not be angry.

Li Qiwei looked at Yoshio Nishina and felt quite emotional.

He was the only one who knew that the young man in front of him should not be underestimated.

In the future, the other party will bring out Nobel Prize winners in physics from the Land of Sakura, such as Hideki Yukawa and Shin'ichirō Tomonaga.

If it is said that physicists in the Land of Sakura did not catch up with the feast of quantum mechanics and relativity.

Then they caught up with the explosion of particle physics and the Standard Model and achieved important results.

Although Li Qiwei was prejudiced against them, he still recognized these achievements.

Nagaoka Hantaro was the first generation of Sakura Country. He laid a solid physics foundation for the country and discovered a group of talents.

Yoshio Nishina is the second generation of the Sakura Country. Based on the knowledge gained by Hantaro Nagaoka, he studied in the West and made valuable scientific connections.

Hideki Yukawa and others are the third generation of Sakura Country, and it is also the time when physics in Sakura Country has blossomed and borne fruit. Physics in Sakura Country has finally begun to emerge internationally and make its own voice.

Ridgeway had to admit that this country was terrible.

They can work hard and endure silently for decades for a goal.

Through the efforts of several generations, we have improved step by step.

At this moment, Li Qiwei thought of himself again.

Although he is the same character as Nagaoka Hantaro.

But his difficulty is ten or a hundred times greater than that of the other party.

"But even so, I am not afraid."

"In this life, you will no longer have any luck."

Then, Li Qiwei's cold eyes suddenly swept over Yoshio Nishina, making the latter feel like a thorn in his back and trembling all over.

"Nishina-kun, don't ask such questions when you don't have the ability."

"I questioned Lord Kelvin because I already had an idea."

"Now, can you tell me what you think?"

"Do you have any better insights into general relativity?"

Yoshio Nishina felt a huge pressure coming upon him.

This strong sense of oppression made him feel suffocated given his personality.

Only at this moment did he realize how terrifying the man in front of him was.

The other party's most insignificant or even wrong results, such as planetary models, can make their teacher famous and become the leader of domestic physics.

Not to mention those mind-blowing physics theories.

He deeply felt what it meant for Li Qiwei to achieve such results in Europe.

He, Yoshio Nishina, is just full of passion.

The huge gap in status and identity made him regret asking such a rash question.

"I... I don't have any ideas for now."

Suddenly, Nagaoka Hantaro shouted, "That's enough, Nishina-kun. Researchers should never talk nonsense."

"Professor Ridgway was fighting for the whole of Asia."

"What are you doing, a quarrel of arrogance?"

Yoshio Nishina was speechless after being scolded, and could only reply: "Ha!"

Then Nagaoka Hantaro quickly smiled and said, "Professor Li, I hope you don't mind."

Li Qiwei smiled and said, "Young man, Professor Nagaoka, you have a good student."

"With this courage, it won't be bad."

Nagaoka Hantaro felt very happy after hearing this.

But Yoshio Nishina was not happy.

The implicit meaning of this sentence is: No one can surpass me.

He will always be a junior, looking up to Li Qiwei.

Soon, Nagaoka Hantaro's visit ended.

Knowing that Li Qiwei would build a city of science in Borneo, Nagaoka Hantaro was already satisfied.

He felt that the opportunity in Sakura Country had come, and the one who is close to the water will get the moon first.

Li Qiwei watched quietly as Nagaoka Hantaro and others left under the leadership of Li San.

He originally planned to give the blue and white uranium porcelain to the other party and have them pass it on to their emperor.

But then I thought about it and decided to give up.

In this life, he walked on a glorious road, crushing everyone to submission.

This little trick may be used by the old witch Cixi.

Now, he has become the number one person in the field of science, and has even been canonized as a saint by the people in China.

Can't lose your status.

His mood has changed.

Be aloof from the world, be high above, and be in control of the universe.
