1900: A physics genius wandering around Europe

Chapter 633 Borneo Academy of Sciences! Shocking concept! Science is the most important! The academy will replace the country! The foundation for the future!

Inside the Wuya Pavilion.

Li Qiwei sat down and asked:
"Who is looking for me?"

Wang Zhengyang held the notebook in his hand and said:
"It's a young man named Zhao Zhongyao."

"He once participated in the second Physics Olympiad and won fifth place."

"Principal, you should have seen him."

Li Qiwei said "Oh".

"It turned out to be Xiao Zhao."

"Let him in, I'll talk to him."

Wang Zhengyang then asked:

"What about the subsequent arrangements?"

Li Qiwei waved his hand and said:
"Put all unimportant interviews on hold."

Wang Zhengyang took the order.

He knew the principal's temper.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, I would rather chat with young people engaged in science than spend a few minutes on meaningless socializing.

As a secretary, of course he has to figure out his boss's preferences.

Know who is asking for a meeting and report it in a timely manner, and who can be dealt with first.

Inside the reception room on the first floor.

Zhao Zhongyao sat in the seat where Nagaoka Hantaro had sat before.

He looked a little nervous and embarrassed.

How high-spirited he was when he participated in the second Physics Olympiad.

I was 18 that year and was unrivaled in the world!
Even when facing the legendary Professor Li, he felt more admiration and envy.

However, after graduating from college and having worked hard for a year or two, he finally understood how honored it was to be able to speak a few words to Professor Li.

Zhao Zhongyao began to feel awe in his heart, as well as a love and ambition for science.

He is also considered a genius by others!

But when he actually got involved in physics research, he realized how cheap the title of genius was.

Who isn’t a genius if they take this path?
Geniuses also need guiding lights.

Even a great man like Newton was able to create a great era only because he stood on the shoulders of Galileo and others.

Therefore, Zhao Zhongyao made up his mind:
"I want to do research under Professor Li!"

Professor Li happened to be returning to Borneo, and this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was something he could not miss.

His good friend Zhou Peiyuan, who once participated in the National Mathematical Olympiad with him, has now become a doctoral student of Professor Qian Wushi.

This made Zhao Zhongyao very envious.

The mechanics laboratory founded by Master Qian Wu is currently expanding its staff.

Zhou Peiyuan, who was interested in mechanical research, signed up on his own initiative and was accepted by Teacher Qian Wu on the spot. He is currently researching topics related to fluid mechanics.

However, Zhao Zhongyao was not very interested in mechanics. He preferred to study basic physics.

Therefore, after careful consideration, he decided to make this trip to Borneo.

"Hey, I just wonder if Professor Li would like me?"

squeak!
The door of the reception room was pushed open and Wang Zhengyang walked in.

Seeing the person coming, Zhao Zhongyao stood up immediately.

His visit was actually a bit reckless, he should have made an appointment in advance.

Professor Li is very busy, so his daily schedule must be full.

But he had just arrived in Borneo from China, was unfamiliar with the place, and had little time, so he could only get things done first.

"Secretary Wang."

Wang Zhengyang smiled and said:

"Zhongyao, you go up."

"The principal is waiting for you."

Zhao Zhongyao was overjoyed when he heard this.

Professor Li is really just as the rumors say, he is particularly kind to young people.

The entrance to the office on the third floor.

Zhao Zhongyao took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then tapped twice.

"Please come in."

A majestic and deep voice came from inside.

Zhao Zhongyao pushed open the door, took a few steps forward, and said:
"Hello, Professor Li, I am Zhao Zhongyao."

"I hope you can forgive me for disturbing you this time."

Li Qiwei smiled and said:

"Zhongyao, sit down and talk. Don't be nervous."

"It's no bother, I really enjoy chatting with you young people, it keeps my mind active."

"The last time I saw you was five years ago."

"Time flies so fast."

Zhao Zhongyao smiled happily.

Professor Li's few words made him feel relaxed.

But he didn't know how to respond to this sentence and just smiled foolishly.

Li Qiwei then asked:

"What's the matter with you coming to see me this time?"

Zhao Zhongyao said directly:
"Professor Li, I would like to do research under your guidance."

Wow!
Li Qiwei was stunned when he heard this.

What a direct young man, he started with a big move right away.

However, he really likes this style of young people.

He has seen too much so-called maturity, sophistication and tact, it's boring.

Zhao Zhongyao did not give any plausible reason.

Such as love for physics, wanting to see higher platforms, and challenging myself.
The other party directly said: "I want to hang out with you."

"Have personality!"

Suddenly, Li Qiwei thought of a very critical question.

He has just sorted out three development routes for Borneo.

One of them is centered around the Atomic Research Institute, which will train relevant talents and make technical reserves for the Pangu Project.

But won’t we cultivate talents in other fields of physics?
For example, in the field of astronomy, Yu Qingsong wants to build a radio telescope.

What about talents in different disciplines such as chemistry and biology?

For example, penicillin, which he was obsessed with, definitely required someone with a biological background to study.

But Li Qiwei currently does not have the proper identity to guide others.

He couldn't just grab a biology student from school and say:

"Young man, I have high hopes for you. I will teach you how to develop penicillin."

"Come, follow me."

Everyone probably thought Professor Li was crazy.

Zhao Zhongyao's arrival woke Li Qiwei up, realizing that his plan was still missing a crucial link.

That is, in what capacity will he command everything in Borneo in the future?
Principal? Not appropriate.

That is just the nominal leader of schools such as Huangpu University of Technology, reflected in the field of education.

Although the meaning of the name can be expanded, it still feels a bit awkward.

Lord of the City of Science? No way.

Alpha Laboratory, Atomic Research Institute, etc. are not under the management of the City of Science.

The current city lord is his second brother Li Zhongxing.

In Ridgway's early plans, the City of Science was the core of the core.

But as things continued to develop, its weight was also reduced and it gradually became part of the Borneo layout.

This is also normal. If an idea that was proposed more than 20 years ago has not changed until now, it would be too exaggerated.

Professor Li? Even worse.

This is even more limited and can only be applied in the field of scientific research.

Chairman? Still no.

His company is a different system.

After careful consideration, Li Qiwei suddenly realized that although he had many titles, none of them were enough to cover everything.

And the most important thing is that no matter whether it is two major plans or three main lines, the real core can only be himself.

He will then study the theory of everything, which requires a specialized organization that can command all resources and power.

A light bulb suddenly appeared in Li Qiwei's mind!
"I understand!"

"The essence of this question is actually what name I will use to rule the entire Borneo in the future!" Li Qiwei knew very well that when the mushroom cloud of the atomic bomb rose up and was watched by the whole world.

It means that Borneo will be completely independent and become Mr. Li’s territory.

So, at that time, what political identity will he use to face the world?
Jianguo?

impossible.

Due to some unknown reasons, it is impossible to establish a country in this era, and everyone is calling for its destruction.

I'm afraid that powerful countries like Europe and the United States will not agree.

Or exercise the rights of the state in the name of the company?
The famous Dutch East India Company, British East India Company, etc. all follow this model.

A company has the power of military, diplomacy, and currency issuance, which is exactly the same as a country.

But it is still a company at heart.

This approach is actually a kind of political wisdom and art that can avoid a lot of trouble.

Li Qiwei still shook his head.

Who is he?

In the future, he is destined to surpass Newton and become the greatest scientist in human history.

Being the chairman of a company is too unpresentable.

Even if this company could rule the whole of Borneo, it wouldn't work.

It does not fit in with his transcendent identity as a scientist.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on Li Qiwei's lips.

A bold and crazy idea came into his mind.

This is a feat that has never been achieved by anyone.

"Since we can use the name of a company to replace the country, why can't we use the name of science?"

"So."

At this moment, Li Qiwei's mind was clear.

He has decided!

Establishment of the Borneo Academy of Sciences!
Rule all in Borneo in the name of the Academy of Sciences!
He is the president of the Borneo Academy of Sciences and exercises all power!
Science is the most important thing! The academy is the foundation for the future!
Li Qiwei could completely refer to the organizational structure of the later Chinese Academy of Sciences.

It is a very large scientific research and management organization.

With the Borneo Academy of Sciences as its core, it has several affiliated institutions under its jurisdiction.

1. Research unit: manage various research institutes and laboratories.

Alpha Laboratory, Atomic Research Institute, Mechanics Laboratory, etc. can all be classified under this jurisdiction.

2. School units: manage various types of schools.

Huangpu Polytechnic University, Huangpu Middle School, Shanhe Primary School, etc. are under its jurisdiction.

3. Company units: manage various wholly-owned and joint venture investment companies.

Shanhe Industrial Group, Bruce Group, etc. Li Qiwei can't even count the companies he owns now.

4. Publishing units: manage various academic journals, newspapers, publicity agencies, etc.

Li Qiwei's previous "Science Weekly", etc. In the future, Borneo, as a world science center, will definitely publish more professional journals and newspapers.

5. Public units: Public independent operating entities affiliated with the Academy of Management Sciences.

A typical example is the City of Science, and there will be various industrial parks, scientific innovation centers, and so on in the future.

In addition, the administrative management of major cities in Borneo is also classified into this category.

6. Security unit: manage all armed forces.

Equivalent to the "Borneo Ministry of Defense".

7. Overseas units: responsible for all matters related to overseas cooperation.

8. Other units: others.

In addition, the Academy of Sciences will also have a special secretariat, finance bureau, personnel bureau, audit bureau and other institutions.

The above is Li Qiwei’s initial idea for the organizational structure of the Borneo Academy of Sciences.

It can be seen that it has all the main functions that a country should have, and its focus is undoubtedly science.

This is also Li Qiwei’s core idea: science leads the world!

With the existence of Borneo Academy of Sciences, all problems can be easily solved.

For example, Yu Qingsong wants to build a radio telescope.

Then a radio astronomy laboratory can be established under the guidance of the research unit.

Then, we will promote this project in the name of the laboratory.

In the name of the president of the Academy of Sciences, Li Qiwei can inquire about all information.

Another example is penicillin.

Under his command, research units will definitely set up various institutes and laboratories.

It covers subjects such as physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, mechanics, geography, astronomy, etc.

This will attract various talents from all over the world, including China.

As the dean, Li Qiwei must frequently inspect the operation of various institutions.

For example, one day, when he was inspecting, he saw a young Chinese scholar doing a bacterial culture experiment.

Under the gaze of everyone, he became interested and stepped forward to ask:

"Young man, what is the green substance in this petri dish of yours?"

The young man suddenly became very nervous.

"This could be some kind of impurity from bacterial metabolism."

Li Qiwei patted the young man and said with a smile:

"Young people, don't just seek to understand things. You have to understand them clearly."

"I'll ask you next time."

The accompanying bigwigs smiled knowingly and accompanied the dean to visit the next laboratory.

The young scholar looked at the receding figure with admiration in his heart.

then
At this moment, Zhao Zhongyao's heart was in his throat.

After he finished stating his request, Professor Li had an extremely strange expression on his face.

He was stunned at first, then smiled, then puzzled, and then fell directly into deep thought.

His frown just now relaxed and the smile on his face became even wider.

For a moment, Zhao Zhongyao was confused.

But he didn't dare to disturb her. He just sat there quietly and waited.

Finally, Li Qiwei came to his senses.

He is very satisfied with Zhao Zhongyao now.

He laughed and said:

"Sorry, Zhongyao, I was distracted just now."

"I already know your intentions."

"Well, I can give you some news in advance."

"Next, I will set up a physics research institute to study basic physics."

"If you are interested, come directly for an interview then."

"I believe that with your qualifications, you will definitely pass."

Of course, this physics institute is also under the management of the research unit.

But the difference is that Li Qiwei may personally serve as the director of the institute to reflect its uniqueness.

Zhao Zhongyao didn't know about Professor Li's shocking idea.

He was excited about the opportunity.

So he quickly stood up, bowed and said respectfully:
"Thank you, Professor Li."

Li Qiwei stood up, walked to his side, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile:
"It's me who should thank you."

Zhao Zhongyao was confused.

Ridgeway continued:

"How about it? Do you want to go to Borneo next? I'll let Wang Zhengyang arrange it for you."

Zhao Zhongyao waved his hand quickly and said:

"No, Professor Li."

"I have to rush back to deal with school work."

"I'm here on leave this time."

Li Qiwei nodded with satisfaction.

Not arrogant or impatient, very good.

"Okay, then I won't send you off. I'll send someone to notify you for the interview when the time comes."

Zhao Zhongyao was flattered and thanked him again.

Looking at the other person's back as he left, Li Qiwei murmured with a smile:
"Zhongyao, don't worry."

"I'll save the glory of discovering antimatter for you."
