1900: A physics genius wandering around Europe

Chapter 456: Olympic results! China's rise! Nobel Prize announcement! The world is shocked! Nobel Prize winner!

Just as the second Physics Olympiad was in full swing.

At Wang Luyao's request, Li Qiwei and his wife traveled around Europe with Lin Huiyin and her daughter.

United Kingdom, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland.
Lin Changmin had witnessed Li Qiwei's terrifying network of contacts.

No matter which country you go to, there will be famous people to greet you.

Scientists, big capitalists, great writers, high-ranking government officials, and even the king himself invited us.

Lin Changmin sighed to his daughter Lin Huiyin:

"Now if there is a world map in front of Professor Li."

"He would throw a dart, and wherever he threw it, he would be warmly welcomed by the locals."

“The impact is just terrifying.”

Lin Huiyin's eyes were sparkling with stars, and her admiration for Professor Li was beyond words.

Although her father was once a high-ranking official in the country, it was absolutely impossible for him to receive such treatment in Europe.

There are only a few people in the whole of China who have this qualification.

In addition, Lin Huiyin also met Madame Curie with the help of Li Qiwei.

For all women of this era, Madame Curie is absolutely a national idol.

This made her feel that the trip was worthwhile.

Finally, they ended their journey and returned to England.

Wang Luyao suggested that he wanted to visit Cambridge University because there were too many memories between him and Li Qiwei there.

While touring the campus of Cambridge University, several people met a bohemian young Chinese man on the Cambridge Bridge.

The young man was reciting poetry in ecstasy:

"I left quietly,"

"As I come quietly;"

"I waved gently,"

"Farewell to the clouds in the west."

"The golden willows by the river,"

"."

At this time, Lin Huiyin walked up curiously and asked:
"Hey, isn't this Professor Li Qiwei's poem?"

"But it originally only had the first four sentences."

The young man turned around and fell in love with her the moment he saw Lin Huiyin.

The only thing left in his mind was that graceful figure.

love at first sight!

At this moment, he said like a pig brother:

"Hello, hello, my name is Xu Zhimo."

"Dare you ask the girl her name?"

Lin Huiyin said openly:

"Lin Huiyin."

Xu Zhimo savored the beauty of the name as if he was listening to the sound of nature.

Lin Huiyin asked again:

"Hey, Xu Zhimo, you haven't mentioned Professor Li's poem yet?"

Xu Zhimo quickly came to his senses and said confidently:

"Yes, the first four sentences were indeed written by Professor Ridgway."

"When he left Cambridge University, he was inspired by this."

“I like these four sentences very much.”

“But I think it’s too short.”

“So I continued writing it myself.”

Lin Huiyin's eyes lit up and she became interested.

Next, Xu Zhimo read out all the content he had continued to write.

Lin Huiyin turned her eyes, looked at the three people behind her, and said cunningly:

"Xu Zhimo, how do you think your continuation of the poem compares to Professor Li's?"

At this moment, Xu Zhimo's whole body and mind were on Lin Huiyin, so how could he recognize Li Qiwei at first glance.

He only regarded the few people behind the girl as their elders.

So, he boasted:

"I personally respect Professor Li very much."

"I often heard his stories during my time studying in Cambridge."

"Unfortunately, I am not talented enough to have the chance to see the celestial being."

"However, if we talk about poetry attainments, Zhimo would like to have a discussion with Professor Li."

Lin Huiyin curled her lips, unable to stand his nonsense.

"Tsk, you mean you write better?"

Xu Zhimo did not lose his dignity in front of the beauty and said confidently:
"I think so."

Upon hearing this, Lin Huiyin couldn't help laughing. She held her belly and laughed out loud, without any ladylike reserve.

But this scene made Xu Zhimo so fascinated that he drooled.

He also laughed foolishly.

Lin Changmin shook his head helplessly. His daughter was always so eccentric. He didn't know how much trouble she would cause him in the future.

Wang Luyao chuckled and covered his mouth with his hands.
"Professor Li, that young man wants to challenge you."

"Aren't you going to have a competition?"

Li Qiwei smiled lightly.

"I'm old, I can't compare to the young people."

At this time, Lin Changmin called Lin Huiyin back.

Lin Huiyin did not disclose Li Qiwei's identity.

Although she is lively and cute, she is not the kind of child who doesn't know the rules.

So, with Xu Zhimo's reluctant look, Li Qiwei and his party left Cambridge University.

Only Xu Zhimo was left standing there in a daze.

Soon, Lin Changmin's voice came from afar:
"Girl, why did you give him the address?"
-
1920 8 Month 20 Day.

The day for the results of the Second Physics Olympiad has finally arrived.

On this day, Zhao Zhongyao and others were sitting in the conference room of the Quantum Research Institute, feeling extremely excited.

Soon, they will know the result of the game.

Although before the competition, many players said they did not care about the results.

But when that day really comes, young people cannot help but be competitive.

At this moment, Li Qiwei was in the office, having the final whisper with Wang Luyao.

After the results come out, the Chinese delegation will return.

For safety reasons, Wang Luyao will also go back with the main force.

So, it’s time to say goodbye again.

Li Qiwei hugged his wife and comforted her:

"Don't worry, I'll be back in four or five years at most."

Wang Luyao buried his head in Li Qiwei's arms without saying a word, enjoying the last bit of warmth.

Suddenly, there was a cry of surprise from downstairs.

Li Qiwei smiled and said:
"It looks like the results are out."

"Come on, let's go down and take a look."

As soon as the two arrived at the meeting room downstairs, they heard Yan Renguang excitedly shouting:
"Principal, China has won another team bronze medal!"

Li Qiwei smiled happily when he heard this.

In this fiercely competitive second Olympiad, it was not easy for China to win the bronze medal.

And, most importantly, Zhao Zhongyao and the other two were not students trained by Whampoa Institute of Technology.

They are the fruits of China's local education.

This means that the education reform that Li Qiwei has been planning for 20 years has finally demonstrated its power.

So, although the group results this time were on par with the first session, Yan Renguang was very excited.

There were even tears in his eyes.

As the elder brother of the first class of Huangpu Military Academy, only Yan Renguang present knew how much the principal had paid for today's achievements.

"Principal, your dream is finally coming true."

At this time, Zhao Zhongyao and the other two walked up to Li Qiwei and said disappointedly:
"Principal, we are sorry to disappoint you."

Zhao Zhongyao was ranked 5th, Zhou Peiyuan was ranked 7th, and Yan Jici was ranked 10th.

Li Qiwei patted the three people on the shoulders and laughed heartily:

"The number of participants in the second Physics Olympiad has exceeded that of the first, with a total of 120 participants." "I am very satisfied and happy that the three of you have achieved such results."

"Do not be discouraged."

"Now that you have seen the vastness of the sky, you should not be afraid, but have the determination to soar into the sky like an eagle!"

"There is still a long way to go, and I hope you can maintain your love for science."

“The future is promising!”

Zhao Zhongyao and the other two immediately felt much better.

This competition really made the three young people realize that there is always someone better than you.

Although Chinese science has made rapid progress, it is still far from being the best among its peers.

They still have more room for improvement.

As soon as the results of the second Physics Olympiad were announced, they caused a huge sensation.

Top three teams:
Gold Medal: United Kingdom;
Silver Medal: Germany;
Bronze medal: China.

Top three individual finishers:
Gold Medal: Paul Dirac (UK);

Silver Medal: Heisenberg (Germany);

Bronze Medal: Pauli (Austria).

Britain became the biggest winner of the second Physics Olympiad.

Double gold medals for individual and team!
It's a real win.

The whole of Britain is immersed in a sea of ​​joy.

"Haha, I knew that my British Empire will always be the center of science."

“Dirac is awesome!”

"The individual gold medal! The first individual gold medal winner, Wu Youxun, is now a famous physicist."

"Dirac's future is definitely limitless."

"."

At this moment, all British people feel proud.

However, little did they know that this would soon be the last glimmer of the British Empire.

Then, when the contestants' exam details were announced, it caused another round of exclamations within the physics community.

Dirac shocked all the contestants and teachers by scoring full marks on the theoretical questions.

You know, the questions this year are much more difficult than before.

Even so, Dirac even finished it ahead of time, seeming to be at ease, which made everyone admire him very much.

"Oh my God! I have a PhD in physics and I realize I can only solve two of these problems."

"What horrible monsters these contestants are!"

"This year's contestants are all very strong. Except for Dirac, who is far ahead of the rest, the rest of the contestants have no chance to make any progress."

"Oh, what a pity, I don't have the opportunity to participate in this year's Olympiad and compete with these extraordinary talents."

The second Physics Olympiad made Dirac, Heisenberg, Pauli, Fermi, Zhao Zhongyao and others famous.

Because based on the difficulty comparison, even a score of around tenth place would give you a chance to win the gold medal in the first Physics Olympiad.

In other words, the players ranked lower are not too bad.

It’s because there are too many outstanding students in this class, causing the original geniuses to be overshadowed.

Everyone believes that although these contestants are still the little Karamis in the physics world.

But before long, they will surely become as famous in the physics community as Wu Youxun.

On August 1920, 8, Wang Luyao returned to China with the delegation and others.

Li Qiwei stood at the dock and saw them off in person.

He and Wang Luyao hugged each other tightly.

"Lu Yao, wait for me in Borneo!"

Then, he reminded Master Qian Wu to be extremely cautious.

"Fifth Master, the early stages of the Pangu Project are relying on you!"

Finally, as everyone waved goodbye, Li Qiwei stood quietly on the dock.

Wang Zhengyang and Huo Xiuting stood on either side of him.

As the sun sets, the shadows of the three people are stretched very long, extending all the way to the horizon.
-
The results and success of the 2nd Physics Olympiad brought great shock to the scientific community.

The Olympiad questions that Li Qiwei brought in advance completely changed the educational direction of this era.

As a result, other disciplines finally began to imitate.

Mathematical Olympiad, Chemistry Olympiad, Biology Olympiad, Astronomy Olympiad.

The four major Olympiads became the second batch of officially designated competition events.

Because these four major subjects, like physics, are the most widely read university courses.

There are sufficient students to support the holding of the competition.

As for some more niche subjects, there is no solution for the time being.

They can only continue to bide their time.

In order to ensure that the times are staggered, the bigwigs from various disciplines personally came out to discuss the specific arrangements.

This is to prevent the possibility that there are exceptionally talented students who can participate in more than one Olympiad.

It would be a pity if there was a time conflict.

However, if there really is a genius who can win a gold medal across fields, it will definitely cause a global sensation.

Suddenly, everyone sighed in unison:

"I guess only Professor Bruce in his student days could accomplish such an incredible feat."

The popularity of the second Physics Olympiad continued until October, when it finally subsided.

Because the Nobel Prize is coming!

No matter how strong the Olympiad is, it is just a competition between students.

The Nobel Prize is a competition among all the bigwigs in the world.

That is the true pinnacle of human wisdom.

Even Dirac, even though he is hailed as a super genius in physics, cannot challenge the Nobel Prize winners for the time being.

This is the difference between a student genius and a real boss.

In science, everything depends on results.

On October 1920, 10, the Nobel Prize was announced.

Among them, the Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry was Nernst from the University of Berlin in Germany.

As the proposer of the third law of thermodynamics, Nernst deserves the award.

The winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics was Bohr from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark.

He was awarded for his research on atomic structure and radiation emitted by atoms.

Bohr finally won the Nobel Prize.

And it happened 2 years earlier than in real history.

The original winner of the 1920 Nobel Prize was Guillaume of Switzerland.

However, because of Li Qiwei's existence, history has taken a slight turn.

Bohr was Professor Bruce's favorite disciple and the founder of the Bohr-Lee model.

So it was only natural that he won the Nobel Prize ahead of schedule.

So far, all seven of Li Qiwei's former doctoral students have won the Nobel Prize.

This is simply an incredible feat!
It's even more terrifying than the fact that he himself has won three Nobel Prizes in science.

Shocked the world!

After all, Professor Bruce is a top figure who appears only once in a thousand years.

Not to mention three Nobel Prizes, even ten Nobel Prizes would be acceptable to everyone.

But just because a person is awesome doesn’t mean the students he teaches will also be awesome.

For the top talents, everyone's style is different.

There are even many key factors that cannot be cultivated through education.

However, Professor Bruce broke all this.

He is a well-deserved "Nobel Prize-winning teacher!".

Inside the Quantum Research Institute.

Irena feels panicked now.

She kind of regretted studying for a doctorate from Professor Bruce.

"It's over, it's over. If I don't win the Nobel Prize, it will be a disgrace to Uncle Bruce."

"Oh my God! Why are they all so powerful!"

Li Qiwei smiled and said to the little girl:

"Be good, don't be afraid, it's enough for you to win a Nobel Prize."

Irena was in tears.
