1900: A physics genius wandering around Europe

Chapter 89 Li Qiwei’s fame spreads across the world!
When Cardwell announced that Ridgwell had won the Nobel Prize, there was silence in the laboratory at first, and then there was an explosion of cheers.

It's true that everyone has been feeling very uncomfortable these days.

After the news of the Nobel Prize broke out, it was like a hook, hanging on everyone's tormented hearts all the time.

Many people in the industry even use their connections to know the results in advance.

However, what no one expected was that the confidentiality of the Nobel Prize was so strict.

Those guys who previously claimed to be well-informed all returned empty-handed and were unable to find out anything at all.

You know, even the Swedish government and the King of Sweden are not qualified to interfere in the selection and awarding process of the Nobel Prize.

For ordinary people or magazines, there is no need to even think about it.

Such mystery and authority make many people firmly believe that the Nobel Prize is different from other awards!
It will become a milestone symbol in the field of natural science.

So, when everyone in the laboratory heard that Li Qiwei had won the award, the feeling of honor made their blood boil.

They witnessed and participated in history together!
Nobel Prize!

"Oh my God, did I hear that correctly? Bruce actually won the first Nobel Prize in Physics?"

"Oh my God, is it possible that there will be a younger winner than Bruce in the future?"

"Now the name of Cavendish will be known throughout the world!"

"In the future, Professor Thomson will definitely win the Nobel Prize. By then, both the master and his apprentice will win the Nobel Prize, which will become a good story."

"Oh my god, why not me? My slider research is also very innovative. Sunny Beach!"

Hearing the envious and surprised voices of the crowd, Li Qiwei's expression was moved and the muscles on his face couldn't help but twitch.

Even though he had been traveling through time for more than a year, he had chatted and laughed with many academic giants in history.

He also stood on a high platform and made bold statements, pointing out the direction of future physics.

But at this moment, when he actually heard the news, he was still so excited that he was at a loss.

Although he was very sure that with his achievements, he would definitely win the Nobel Prize in Physics.

But it was the first session, so he never expected much and he knew how difficult it was.

Its symbolic significance is unparalleled, representing the beginning of a new era.

But now, he will receive this supreme honor.

call!
Li Qiwei calmed down and shook hands with Cardwell vigorously. "Thank you for your notice, Mr. Principal. I am so excited now."

Cardwell smiled as brightly as a chrysanthemum, "Bruce, I am more excited than you. I think you are still too calm now."

Then he turned to the back and said to the crowd, "I think Bruce will have to win a few more Nobel Prizes before he is satisfied and smiles."

This sentence made everyone laugh.

Li Qiwei couldn't help but feel happy. At this moment, he had the right to express his joy.

At this time, Thompson and Wilson also came over.

Thompson looked at Li Qiwei with a smile on his face. He was very pleased and patted him on the shoulder. "Congratulations, Bruce. You deserve it."

He thought of what happened last year, when Li Qiwei was still a fledgling who needed his protection.

Without his firm opposition, the other party would most likely be expelled from Trinity College early.

Today, Cambridge University would definitely become the object of ridicule of all schools in the world for actively driving away a Nobel Prize winner in physics.

Fortunately, Thomson had a keen eye and managed to save the situation, thus preventing such a stupid thing from happening.

Thompson silently gave himself a thumbs up.

After Li Qiwei hurriedly expressed his thanks, Thompson and Cardwell left at the same time. The two were going to discuss the next publicity issues.

This is a happy event of great significance to both Cambridge and Cavendish.

We must do our utmost to let the world know the glory of Cambridge University.

Wilson walked forward, grabbed Li Qiwei's hand, put away his usual playfulness, and said sincerely: "Bruce, congratulations!"

"I'm so proud and happy for you!"

Wilson was filled with emotion.

He and Li Qiwei met each other when they were in humble beginnings, and watched each other reach the heights they have today step by step.

At first, I was a Cambridge student from the Qing Dynasty who was laughed at.

Then his genius began to show, and he solved the difficult problem with his backhandedness.

He was framed because of his identity, but he relied on his own knowledge to resolve the conspiracy from the powerful.

He then published quantum theory, which shocked the physics world.

Because his theory has been widely questioned, he chooses to engage in a debate with scholars and to confront the bigwigs of the time on his own.

Finally, the theory of photoelectric effect completely established his status as a top physicist.

Now, he has finally won the highest award in physics.

After all the hard work, the title is well deserved!
Even in the future, he may be able to go even further, to the end of physics.

As for what is there, Wilson doesn’t know, but he can be called the God of Physics!
Li Qiwei responded to Wilson with his hands tightly. There was no need for words between them, just a look was enough.

Bruce Lee, a doctoral student at Cambridge University, won the first Nobel Prize in Physics.

Like a hurricane, it blew in all directions with Cambridge University as its core, causing endless shocks in the scientific community.

At the same time, two hurricanes were generated from the University of Munich and the University of Berlin in Germany.

On the same day, October 10, almost all newspapers and magazines in the scientific field around the world urgently increased their editions.

Reporting this long-awaited and shocking news.

The winner of the first Nobel Prize in Chemistry was: Dutch chemist Van Tove.

The winner of the first Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was: German physician Behring.

The winners of the first Nobel Prize in Physics were: German physicist Roentgen, German physicist Planck, and Qing Dynasty physicist Ridgway.

The Physics Prize received the most attention, and at this moment the three people became legends in the minds of all physics researchers!
Roentgen and Planck were both veteran physicists and professors at famous universities. Although their awards were shocking, they were not very exciting.

As if it were a matter of course.

However, Li Qiwei is different. His uniqueness instantly spread the mystery and newsworthiness of the Nobel Prize to an extreme extent, attracting the attention of countless people.

It has gone far beyond the scope of science and has become a topic of conversation on the streets.

From the prime minister and the king to the working class and white-collar workers, everyone was curious about the news.

A 21-year-old doctoral student, who was from the Qing Dynasty, was able to win the highest award in the field of physics.

He defeated countless great players and came out on top.

This kind of dramatic and subversive story is what people love to see.

Especially since it involves that mysterious ancient oriental country, it can touch everyone's heartstrings.

Those famous newspapers have already prepared to send reporters to interview Li Qiwei in an attempt to obtain first-hand exclusive information. News likes novelty the most, especially events like the Nobel Prize, which have a wide enough scope and a big enough impact.

In addition, Li Qiwei is a Qing citizen, so he will definitely be the center of attention and will not have to worry about sales.

A good report can even make an unknown tabloid famous overnight.

Therefore, many newspaper owners are gearing up and using their connections privately in the hope of meeting Li Qiwei.

In the following days, the news about the Nobel Prize did not cool down, but instead intensified, and the scope of influence expanded rapidly.

Li Qiwei, who is at the center of the storm, is extremely busy.

He congratulated Roentgen and Planck by telegram. The two seemed calm and invited Ridgway to come over sometime to celebrate for him.

Now, two Germans have won the Physics Prize and one has won the Physiology or Medicine Prize, which has greatly boosted the confidence of the German people.

Moreover, the third winner of the Physics Prize, Ridgwell, was a disciple of Planck, which further highlights Germany's profound scientific foundation.

Li Qiwei said that he would definitely go and thanked Planck for his support. Without him, he would not have won the Nobel Prize.

France, the Curies and Becquerel, also congratulated him and hoped that he could give a speech there.

This was a request from the French government and the University of Paris. Li Qiwei felt tremendous pressure and said he would definitely go when he had time.

Although the French poet Prudhomme won the literature award this time, his influence is still not as great as that of Ridgeway.

This is caused by the times. The development and impact of science and technology have brought about tremendous changes to society.

In Canada, Rutherford expressed his happiness for Ridgway in a telegram and said it was completely within his expectations.

He expressed regret for not being able to congratulate her in person, and declared in a domineering manner that the next time he won an award, the two of them would have to drink and chat all night long.

Li Qiwei replied to him: When it comes to pretending, I am not as good as Lu.

In Switzerland, Einstein and Grossmann wrote to each other at the same time.

In the letter, Einstein expressed his happiness for Ridgway and used cheesy words that took up three full pages.

But Li Qiwei found it very enjoyable and would smile knowingly from time to time.

Einstein also said that his research on the first dark cloud had reached a critical stage and that he would be able to publish a paper next year and then compete for the Nobel Prize.

Ridgway encouraged him and said that he could do it. That day was the day when the Zurich School shocked the physics world.

As for Grossman, it's funny. The first sentence in his letter was: I hate Nobel. Why don't you set up a mathematics prize? Does he have a grudge against mathematicians?

Li Qiwei laughed out loud after reading it.

This guy just switched to mathematics major and then he won the Nobel Prize. It's simply heartbreaking.

The issue of the Nobel Prize in Mathematics is also a topic that has been talked about a lot in later generations, and there are all kinds of rumors.

The most widely circulated version is that Nobel once proposed to a young lady, but she did not agree and instead married a mathematician.

So Nobel turned love into hate and did not establish a mathematics prize in his will.

The Fields Medal, the highest award in mathematics, would not be awarded until 1936, and the prize money was only 1.5 Canadian dollars.

As for why the prize money is so small, don't ask. The answer is that mathematicians are indifferent to fame and fortune and don't care about material things.

In addition to the familiar friends mentioned above, many other people also expressed their congratulations, including the Netherlands, Belgium, and the United States.
Scholars from all over the world were excited about his winning the award.

Never before has scientific researchers received so much attention.

Instead of just burying myself in research and remaining unknown as before.

Li Qiwei replied to each letter and did not become arrogant because of winning the award.

Soon, even friends in the business community sent congratulatory messages.

Marconi, Trevor, Solvay, Gerard, and many more.

Solvay said he is now well-known in the circle.

When others are richer than him, he will ask: Do you have a friend who has won the Nobel Prize in Physics?

When others do better business than him, he will say: I have a friend who won the Nobel Prize in Physics.

He also hoped that Li Qiwei could hold another meeting as soon as possible. By then, with his status as a Nobel Prize winner, it would definitely be a huge event.

As for Gerrard, he played even better.

After congratulating Li Qiwei on the award, he revealed that Philips' recent financial report showed an astonishing increase.

Li Qiwei will be given dividends immediately, a huge sum of money.

Once tungsten filament light bulbs were launched on the market, they defeated other types of light bulbs.

Quickly occupy the market.

Now it has basically covered the whole of Europe, and his next plan is to go to America, Asia, and even Africa.

And Gerard had a brilliant idea.

He would promote that Philips light bulbs were designed by a Nobel Prize winner in physics and that there would definitely be no problem with the quality.

With just a little money, you can enjoy the inspiration of the world's top physicists. You deserve it.

After reading it, Li Qiwei called it a talent.

It seems that the letter of opinion I left for Gerrard has brought him great benefits.

Such a novel advertising method is definitely a dimensionality reduction blow to other companies.

When Li Qiwei told Wang Luyao and others the news of his winning the award, he was immediately surrounded by cheers.

He Yujie, Xia Yuancong and Xu Qitai's eyes lit up, and their admiration was like an endless torrent of water.

They know the value and influence of the Nobel Prize in Physics.

When they return to China, they can dominate the education sector across the country by saying, "I am a disciple of a Nobel Prize winner."

During the night rest, Wang Luyao actually wanted to sleep with Li Qiwei, which was rare, which made Xiang Lan laugh secretly.

Li Qiwei was delighted with double happiness and couldn't stop smiling.

On the soft bed, Wang Luyao said, "I can give you a reward tonight. Except for that thing, everything else is fine."

Li Qiwei suddenly became alert. "Then I have a difficult question. It's a bit complicated. You have to learn it slowly."

Then he whispered in Wang Luyao's ear.

She looked at Li Qiwei with loving eyes, but was still embarrassed and lay shyly on him.

Li Qiwei stroked her fragrant hair and said with a smile, "Forget it if you don't know how to do it. Give me a simpler question next time."

While Li Qiwei was enjoying himself, the outside world was already worried about him.

Countless people know the name Bruce Lee, and even the name Ridgwell.

Who in the world doesn’t know you?

But everyone is more curious about who he is and what is so unique about him.
