1900: A physics genius wandering around Europe

Chapter 28 Young and frivolous
When Li Qiwei said that the dark cloud problem would be solved within three years.

Everyone in the conference hall thought he was crazy, even many physics experts couldn't help but look at him sideways.

"Who does Bruce Lee think he is, the God of Physics?"

"Bruce is just as the rumors say. He is smart, but also extremely arrogant. He always says shocking things."

"Young people today really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. It's not easy to innovate in basic theories."

"Bruce is my idol. Those old guys don't know anything. This kind of courage is what you need to study physics."

Many people were discussing Li Qiwei's bold words, some agreed, while others were disdainful.

Boss Roentgen stared at Li Qiwei with his wise eyes, making the latter feel that Boss Nobel's gaze was indeed sharp.

The boss said, "Bruce, since you said that the X-rays I discovered are the most important, then I want to ask you, what do you think the X-rays are used for."

Li Qiwei was stunned, not knowing why the other party asked this question, but he still replied: "I think X-rays will play a huge role in the medical field."

“It can penetrate the body and let doctors know what’s going on inside the patient.”

Roentgen nodded. He himself had used X-rays to examine his palms and the results were very good, so he agreed with Li Qiwei's point of view.

Historically, it was because of Roentgen's excessive research on X-rays that his body was deformed in his later years and he suffered great pain and misery.

His achievements can save countless people, but cannot save himself. This is the fate of a great physicist!
But at this moment, Roentgen had not experienced all this yet. He continued, "Since I discovered X-rays five years ago, I have never stopped studying them."

"But unfortunately, up to now, I still don't know what the nature of X-rays is, how to observe them, and how to measure them."

“I have countless outstanding scholars around me, working with me on research, but I still can’t solve the problem.”

"Bruce, why are you so confident that you can create another miracle?"

"Or do you already have some ideas, so you dare to set a deadline?"

The older you get, the wiser you become. Roentgen’s personal experience almost exposed Li Qiwei’s past.

Yes, in terms of intelligence and talent, no one present would admit that they were worse than Li Qiwei.

Why do we all work hard for many years and still can’t solve a known problem, but you, Bruce, dare to claim that you can solve the problem of the century within three years?

Unless you have already made some discoveries, or reasonable guesses.

Fortunately, Roentgen could never guess that he was a time traveler.

Li Qiwei smiled and said, "Professor Roentgen, explanations are cheap, and papers are real. I will prove it with papers."

Exactly the same words, but this time no one looked down on Li Qiwei anymore.

Indeed, strength is the best explanation.

When he first spoke at the Royal Society of London about his plan to solve the cloud problem, everyone treated him as a clown and a liar.

But now, although some people have doubts, no one says that he is overestimating his abilities. There is even a little expectation that Li Qiwei can fulfill his promise.

After all, although those present were all leaders in the field of physics, only a few could truly compare to the likes of Roentgen, Lord Kelvin and others.

People naturally like those who challenge authority, especially when they succeed.

After Li Qiwei finished speaking, Roentgen nodded without saying anything.

But from his expression, one can still see his appreciation for Li Qiwei.

As young people, you should show your talents!

Hiding things and pretending to be humble all day long will only make you lose the courage to make progress.

You know, the reason why Roentgen chose the path of physics was because he was once discriminated against by the bigwigs.

So, he refused to admit defeat and wanted to prove himself.

He seemed to see the shadow of his own youth in Li Qiwei.

At this moment, a magnetic voice suddenly sounded, with a slight Russian accent. "Bruce, hello, I am Minkowski, the former mathematics teacher of Einstein."

Li Qiwei looked at him. The big man was wearing glasses and looked gentle.

It was he who helped Einstein lay a solid foundation in mathematics, enabling him to create the theory of relativity.

Minkowski continued: "Einstein often mentioned you in his letters to me, saying that you are a genius that is rarely seen in a century."

"He has also recently become interested in the problem of the first dark cloud and believes that the principle of the speed of light is the key to solving the problem. What do you think?"

After saying that, he smiled at Li Qiwei.

All the bosses were looking forward to how Li Qiwei would answer next.

Li Qiwei was shocked. It turned out that the God of Love had already started thinking about the theory of relativity at this time.

He knew that Einstein published the special theory of relativity in 1905, which used two important principles: the principle of relativity and the principle of the constancy of the speed of light.

From these two principles, we can derive the length contraction effect, the clock slow effect, and the most famous mass-energy equation!
It completely denied the existence of ether, explained the macroscopic high-speed world, and incorporated Newtonian mechanics into the framework.

From then on, Einstein was directly deified.

At this time, Li Qiwei had already decided to let the special theory of relativity come out ahead of time and shine at the same time as quantum mechanics.

So he said, "Professor Minkowski, Einstein is a very good friend of mine."

"I agree with his thinking very much, and I also think that the speed of light is the key to solving the problem."

"When I have time, I'll talk to him. Maybe we can come up with a new theory in just one afternoon."

Minkowski laughed after hearing this, while Roentgen and other bigwigs looked at Li Qiwei speechlessly. Does this guy feel uncomfortable if he doesn't brag for a moment?
Only Planck watched quietly, recalling the first time in his mind. The other party was also calm and confident.

Soon, several scholars raised questions, and after Li Qiwei answered them one by one, his report ended.

Although it wasn't very long, it was very impressive.

Next, Planck, Roentgen, Boltzmann and other big names took turns to come on stage.

Li Qiwei benefited a lot from the wonderful report.

The achievements of these big guys are real. Every data and every letter are filled with countless hard work.

Moreover, listening to the reports given by these bigwigs was far from the drowsy feeling that one gets in later generations.

This also shows that if you don’t have real results and strength, you’d better stop talking nonsense to others. It’s just a waste of time.

After the meeting, Li Qiwei saw that Li San was about to fall asleep. He felt really miserable for him. The whole process was like listening to a mystery.

After the two walked out of the research institute, Li Qiwei said goodbye to Planck and rushed back to the hotel with Li San.

It was already around 6 o'clock in the evening.

Walking under the dim light, Li San asked Li Qiwei how to revitalize China.

Li Qiwei looked at him curiously. Wow, the third brother also has great ambition in his heart.

He smiled and said to Li San: "I will be in charge of the civil affairs, and you will be in charge of the military affairs. Together we will rebuild China, hahahaha."

Li San felt embarrassed by what he said and touched his head. He always felt that the young master was different from before.

At this time, a man wearing a black windbreaker with his hands in his pockets was walking towards them.

Li San's habit over the years made him stare at the other person without blinking, his whole body tense.

Li Qiwei was still shouting and imagining the future, completely unaware that danger was approaching.

Suddenly, a flash of cold light appeared, and Li Sanda shouted, "Master, be careful!"
