1900: A physics genius wandering around Europe

Chapter 66 Young Scholars Exchange Meeting
After returning from Chris's hometown after seeing the lavender, everyone returned to their normal pace of life.

That kiss broke a big rift between Li Qiwei and Wang Luyao. Now he could often take advantage of her, and even Xiang Lan could not escape his clutches.

However, Li Qiwei never made mistakes at the same time, but tried his best to avoid embarrassment.

He was a doctor of later generations who knew everything from astronomy to geography, and was on close terms with Einstein.

But no one had ever taught him how to get along with two girls at the same time.

Especially since both of them were devoted to him, he couldn't bear to neglect either of them.

Li Qiwei could only sigh at the special nature of this era, which allowed him to have such great fortune.

If it happened in the future, there would be only one ending, Shura Field, and Li Qiwei would definitely be criticized until the end of the book.

But Wang Luyao and Xiang Lan didn't think much about it. They were still as close as sisters and inseparable.

However, Xiang Lan always lowered her status because of her status as a maid, so Wang Luyao could only let her do what she wanted.

These days, Li San often goes to Cambridge University to collect letters, which are sent to Li Qiwei by young people from all over the world. The letters are full of admiration for him.

It turns out that since Li Qiwei published three heavyweight papers in succession, "Quantum Theory", "Photoelectric Effect" and "Wave-Particle Duality of Light", he has been deified in the hearts of young scholars.

After entering the 20th century, the world has undergone tremendous changes, and it is a good time for young people to rise.

Physics is no exception. The sudden emergence of Li Qiwei has given these young people great encouragement.

Everyone wants to forge ahead in the tide of the times and be a trendsetters.

Li Qiwei looked through these letters and found that most of them were from researchers in the fields of physical chemistry, with a small number from the fields of biology and medicine.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

Information about the writer kept popping up in my mind. He was either a future Nobel Prize winner or a celebrity who had made special contributions.

However, at this moment, they are all unknown little people, or have just emerged and want to make a name for themselves in academia.

Li Qiwei's vanity was greatly satisfied, and now we, Old Li, are also the object of admiration of these big guys.

He suddenly had an idea and prepared to write back to the people he liked and invite them to attend the first exchange meeting for young scholars in physics and chemistry.

Yes, this is the name he and Solvay discussed, and the meeting was scheduled for August 8th.

Li Qiwei has set an age limit for personnel, and they must be under 35 years old.

Solvay initially expressed confusion as to why there was such a strange request.

Li Qiwei explained that in the field of science, age is sometimes a very important limiting factor.

The older a scholar gets, not only does his thinking begin to degenerate, but he also tends to be more conservative.

Therefore, innovative scientific ideas are often proposed by young people.

Moreover, young people also need a certain voice.

If industry veterans are always allowed to discuss issues, the field will gradually become rigid and eventually become the preserve of various stakeholders.

The participation of young people is a stimulus that can help the industry escape from its stagnant predicament.

The most important thing is that investing in the future is the craziest and most leveraged investment.

In this way, Ridgway successfully persuaded Solvay.

The reason why Solvay chose the fields of physics and chemistry was simple: his own industry was in the field of chemistry, and of course he wanted to meet chemists.

As for physics, it is his hobby because he can study it without doing experiments.

It turns out that the thoughts of rich people are so simple and plain.

Future generations cannot understand why the bigwigs of this era have such a strong interest in scientific research. Instead of enjoying their wealth and freedom, they want to do research.

Ridgway also agreed with Solvay's arrangement because chemists have made far greater contributions to material life than physicists.

The various chemical engineering systems generated by the Institute of Chemistry were his future strategic focus, so it was necessary for him to get to know more chemists. Of course, there was another more important reason.

Li Qiwei has been thinking about the construction of the Science City whenever he has time recently.

One of the core contents is the personnel composition.

His original idea was that the City of Science would only accept Chinese people, and there could only be a few foreigners at most.

But now his mind has changed. If non-Chinese people are excluded, then the word "science" in the City of Science will not be worthy of its name.

Countless historical experiences tell future generations that complacency and arrogance will lead to destruction.

Science is essentially a collision of different ideas. If artificial restrictions are added, it is no longer science but political science.

As long as we set certain standards and bottom lines, we can embrace an open mind and make use of scientists from all over the world.

His purpose in building a city of science was not to dominate the world, but to protect China.

On this basis, we will promote the development of science and benefit all mankind.

As for whether there will be ambitious people infiltrating and how to prevent them, these can only be discussed after the actual implementation.

Such a huge project cannot be completed overnight, so he can learn while working.

There has never been such an existence in human history, a city composed entirely of scientists or scientific researchers.

What kind of management system will there be, how to protect oneself, etc.

Even if Li Qiwei is a time traveler, he couldn't have experience in this area.

So he is full of expectations for the future.

Another reason that allowed him to put aside his racial prejudice was that the power of an individual was too small.

The rise of China requires not only science, but also technology.

Although there is only one word difference between the two, the contents they contain are very different.

Li Qiwei is confident that he can promote the development of physics on his own, but if one wants to turn theory into practical power, relying on one person alone is just a drop in the bucket.

He can derive various complex formulas, but you can't let him solve partial differential equations by himself.

Not to mention those complex chemical processes, material synthesis and so on.

In his previous life, Li Qiwei chose to study physics because he hated wearing a white coat and mixing reagents.

The Western world has accumulated hundreds of years of experience in these basic areas. Even if China is given 20 years, it will not be able to surpass them.

Therefore, he had to rely on external forces, learn from and absorb the Western heritage, and then cooperate with his prophets to avoid detours.

With the Spark Project as the core, China's entire technology tree will be illuminated, covering all areas, and it will no longer be subject to Western sanctions.

This is Li Qiwei’s initial thoughts on the personnel composition of the City of Science.

Of course, the majority will definitely be Chinese, and they will hold the management rights firmly in their hands.

After figuring out the key points, Li Qiwei began to write back to these future bigwigs.

In the letter, he first spoke modestly, then expressed his concern for the work they were doing and revealed great interest.

Then, at the end, it was natural to invite them, if they were interested, to attend the meeting in Brussels at the end of August to discuss academic issues together.

After writing these letters, Li Qiwei resumed his routine life, copying papers, teaching students, and flirting with girls.

However, two pieces of news suddenly disrupted his plans.

Thanks to the new and old book friends for their monthly tickets and recommendation tickets. Lao Xu asked for collection and follow-up reading, thank you very much, follow-up reading is too important now.
