1900: A physics genius wandering around Europe

Chapter 85 Invitation from Ambassador Luo Fuyu to the UK

The momentum for the Nobel Prize is growing, stirring up the field of natural sciences and attracting the attention of countless industry elites around the world.

However, all this scene of scientific prosperity seems to be completely non-existent to some people in certain places.

They were indifferent to anything beyond dynastic changes and power struggles.

Old Mr. Fu sneezed today because he was not feeling well, which is a billion times more important than Marconi's invention of transatlantic radio thousands of miles away.

At least that's what they think in their hearts.

Today, there is such a place on a street in central London.

An ordinary house, inconspicuous in the bustling city of London, but it was the Qing Dynasty's Embassy in the UK.

As a weak country, the Qing Dynasty had long been unveiled after experiencing several previous wars.

Nowadays, except for a few ignorant British people, no one cares about the situation of a backward country.

Therefore, the area around the embassy was very deserted and almost deserted, which was not at all the treatment that the Celestial Empire was portrayed to be.

However, all of this was blocked by the Qing Dynasty in order to confuse the lower classes. In their eyes, the Qing Dynasty was still number one in the world.

Luo Fuyu, with a big belly, sat on a chair, rubbing his beard with his right hand, closing his eyes and resting, not knowing what he was thinking.

Suddenly, he said to Feng Jin, who was sitting on his left, "Have you delivered the invitation to Li Qiwei?"

Feng Jin quickly stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Your Excellency, it was delivered yesterday and it was received by Li San." After saying that, he hesitated and secretly glanced ahead.

Although Luo Fuyu closed his eyes, he still noticed it, "Okay, if you have something to say, just say it. There is no need to follow so many rules here."

"Yes." Feng Jin continued, "I think that Li Qiwei would not dare to come to the appointment."

"From the look in Li San's eyes, I'm basically certain that he already knows about the assassination in Germany last time."

"During this period, the people I sent to follow told me that Li San's defense was very tight and they didn't have any chance."

"So, since Li Qiwei doesn't dare to come, why did you give him an invitation? Please explain this to me."

Luo Fuyu said nothing when he heard this. He still kept his eyes closed and only his slight breathing could be heard.

After a long while, he suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Feng Jin, and said meaningfully: "Li Qiwei will definitely come." Without waiting for Feng Jin to speak, he continued:

"This man has evil ambitions. We can tell from the fact that he brought people from China to study in the UK. He definitely has big plans and must be watched carefully."

"Maybe in the future, it will be a great achievement."

Feng Jin observed Luo Fuyu's expression and agreed, "Should we report this to the court and ask it to investigate the Li family?"

Luo Fuyu was stunned, but did not sneer at Feng Jin. As Feng Jin was his capable subordinate who was far away overseas, he knew how to control him.

As an old fox in the officialdom, he knows how to read people's minds best. "Feng Jin, you should use your energy in the right way and train your subordinates well."

"Don't act rashly like last time, without getting the intelligence clear."

"Even my life depends on you."

"As for other things, you don't have to worry about them."

Feng Jin knelt down quickly. He knew he had spoken out of turn and shouldn't have said too much.

The relationship between Luo Fuyu and Prince Qing was far beyond the scope of what a small fifth-rank military officer like him could interfere with.

"I deserve to die. Please rest assured, sir. I will definitely double my training."

Luo Fuyu waited for a while before waving his hand casually, "Okay, you can leave now."

Feng Jin dared to stand up only after hearing this, then he bowed and slowly backed away, leaving the hall.

Only Luo Fuyu was left, looking outside, as if he was planning something again.

A small farewell party is being held at the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge.

Rutherford, the senior fellow in the laboratory and Professor Thomson's most proud student, will return to Canada tomorrow as his visiting scholar exchange period ends.

There was no sadness of parting among the people, and everyone was chatting and laughing happily together.

Because Rutherford's trip was just a transitional one, he would definitely return to Britain in a few years at most.

Thomson would never let his most senior disciple stay in a remote place like Canada to do scientific research.

Britain is the stage for him to display his talents.

Moreover, Rutherford was enthusiastic about helping others in the laboratory and never took on aloofness, so he was very popular.

Everyone will spontaneously organize themselves to see him off and look forward to his return next time.

Rutherford said goodbye to everyone one by one. When it was Li Qiwei's turn, he shook his hand tightly and said affectionately: "Bruce, I hope to see you again in England next time."

Li Qiwei laughed and said, "Why do I feel like you are cursing me for not being able to graduate with my Ph.D. so that I can wait for you forever?"

Everyone laughed, Bruce was really humorous.

Rutherford's sadness was also diluted, and he smiled and said, "If you can't graduate with a doctorate, it must be because you don't want to leave."

"Maybe you just like the feeling of being in Cambridge?"

"I believe Professor Thomson and definitely hope you can stay, haha."

Wilson went on to say, "If Bruce hadn't left, I would have a greater chance of winning the Nobel Prize in the future." The jokes of several people brought the atmosphere of the farewell party to a climax, and even Professor Thompson came to join in the fun.

He ate a few pieces of cake, then encouraged Rutherford, asking him to continue working hard on his physics research and achieve greater glory as soon as possible.

Then, with everyone's blessings in mind, Rutherford left the laboratory in high spirits.

Li Qiwei was filled with shame, thinking to himself: Brother Lu, after so many years, I'm afraid the discoverer of the atomic nucleus will change. Don't worry, I'll guide you.

After returning home from school, Li Qiwei coaxed and deceived Wang Luyao into his bedroom, then quietly closed the door with a guilty conscience.

After much pleading, the little witch finally agreed.

Wang Luyao's cheeks were flushed and her beautiful eyes were closed; Li Qiwei was breathing rapidly and his hands were shaking.

The two sides discussed physical mechanics issues in a friendly atmosphere.

The topic is: Several methods for shaping and moisturizing hemispherical soft fat tissue using the body's own tools.

In order to increase the difficulty of the questions, Wang Luyao also took the initiative to bring in various additional acoustic conditions, which made Li Qiwei even more obsessed with solving the problems.

The next morning, Li Qiwei woke up feeling refreshed. He was very satisfied with the academic discussion last night.

I thought to myself, physics is only interesting when studied with someone else.

One person can only study the problem of non-monotonic differentiation of one hand, while two people can study the problem of small ball collision.

After breakfast, Li San suddenly came over. Seeing Li Qiwei’s happy face, he took out Luo Fuyu’s invitation.

Li Qiwei's expression changed instantly. He looked at the invitation with a hint of amusement, and murmured, "Inviting me to the banquet alone? Interesting, very interesting."

"When was this sent?"

Li San replied, "A man named Feng Jin brought it yesterday. He should be a martial artist with good skills."

"Oh?" Li Qiwei was surprised, "You fought with him?"

Li San said: "No, but I can sense his aura."

Li Qiwei was now interested and asked curiously, "Third brother, you are not going to tell me that there are different levels of martial arts among you martial artists, right?"

He screamed in his heart, please don’t tell me, this is a low-level or even medium-level martial arts world, I can even sense the breath.

If that's true, then what's the point of his academic career? He should just start practicing his Vajra Indestructible Skills.

It would be great to have a system where you can become stronger by spending money.

Li San was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly, "Master, you're overthinking it. There are only two types of martial arts: killing skills and performance skills."

"The kind of gorgeous and lethal moves in novels don't exist in reality."

"I just judged from Feng Jin's hands, standing posture, body shape, etc. that he practiced killing skills and had a murderous aura."

"As for the level, unless the difference in strength between the two is too great, the winner can only be determined after a real fight. There are many factors that affect it."

Li Qiwei nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this was indeed a strictly physical world.

To put it simply, the so-called murderous aura is the intuition of a warrior, just like a scholar's intuition about formulas. There is nothing particularly mysterious about it.

If a person practices martial arts every day and often sees blood, he will naturally know what kind of people are like.

Language may be deceiving, but eyes and temperament are impossible to fake.

Then he asked, "What level are you at? I see that every time you attack, it's smooth and pleasing to the eye."

Li San thought for a moment and said, "I don't know about the foreigners, but if it's in China, there are some famous veterans in the martial arts world, I should not be their opponent."

"As for the others, I will not lose." Li San said firmly.

Hey!
What a great master! Li Qiwei exclaimed in his heart, “Awesome!”

Li San is not a person who likes to pretend. Since he dares to make such a bold statement, it proves his absolute confidence in his own martial arts ability.

He is now at the best age for a warrior, and is in peak condition in all aspects.

Li Qiwei finally understood the military situation of this era. There were indeed peerless masters, but their strength should be within an acceptable range.

The rest of us are basically at the same level, it just depends on personal talent and hard work.

Of course, as long as one is a warrior or a warrior, his physical fitness must be far superior to that of ordinary people.

At this time, Li San suddenly asked: "Master, are you going to keep the appointment?"

"They must have guns in their hands. No matter how strong your martial arts skills are, they can't withstand the power of firearms."

Li Qiwei smiled and said, "Third brother, you worry too much. I will definitely go. I want to see what tricks the other party wants to play."

"As for the danger, don't worry. There's no need for you to take action."

"I just need to bring someone with me. Then even if Luo Fuyu has ten times the courage, he won't dare to touch me."

Li San's expression changed. Who has such ability? "Master, who are you talking about?"

Li Qiwei kept it a secret, "Didn't the invitation say October 10th? Then you and I can come together and try the Hongmen Banquet at the embassy."

After saying that, Li Qiwei didn't take the matter to heart, packed up and set off for school.
