1900: A physics genius wandering around Europe

Chapter 69 Vacation Plan
After resolving the issue of the tungsten filament light bulb patent, Li Qiwei was in a very good mood.

When he came back and explained the situation to everyone, everyone became excited.

He Yujie and the other two felt that the initial start-up capital for the Spark Project should be sufficient, and they could start doing big things right away.

The three of them were instantly filled with energy and immediately did a set of test papers to reward themselves.

Wang Luyao's eyes lit up and he looked very proud.

Her brother Qiwei is not only good at academics, but also makes money easily.

Just pay a piece of paper and a few words, and you can collect money without doing anything.

In order to expand the family business, his father worked hard every day, but he could only earn a hard-earned living.

If Li Qiwei knew what she was thinking, he would definitely complain that Uncle Wang didn't earn money through hard work, he was extremely wealthy.

Only a rich lady like you who has never been involved in social activities would not know the concept of money.

After getting the patent, Li Qiwei had some free time again and he began to plan his next steps.

First he had to go to France to attend the European Radiology Congress. Yes, he finally decided to go.

The main reason is to make myself familiar with the team so that I can reasonably participate in uranium research in the future.

Otherwise, if Li Qiwei suddenly becomes interested in uranium, it will easily arouse suspicion and targeting from certain forces.

Not to mention that he will mine or purchase uranium on a large scale later, so he must find a reason to cover up the truth.

Li Qiwei thought that he might as well publish two papers on radioactivity when the time comes, so that he could provide a reasonable explanation.

Then he set up his own laboratory and secretly stockpiled the necessary materials in the name of the laboratory.

However, he did not choose to go with Rutherford, but instead planned to take Wang Luyao, Li San, and Xu Qitai with him.

Wang Luyao was very much looking forward to meeting Madame Curie, so he insisted on going, and Li Qiwei had no choice but to agree.

For this reason, the little witch even asked Li Qiwei to cram her lessons, as she was afraid that it would be embarrassing if she couldn't keep up with Madame Curie's words.

Li Qiwei thought she was overthinking it. With her poor English, it was good enough that she could speak daily expressions well.

As for why Xu Qitai was brought along, it was because although this kid often ranked last in test scores, he had a very flexible mind and strong divergent thinking.

It is probably related to the fact that he has been participating in practical scientific and technological engineering projects with his father and grandfather since he was a child.

He doesn't like pure theory and prefers to do experiments.

According to Li Qiwei's conjecture, He Yujie and Xia Yuancong may become theoretical physicists in the future, while Xu Qitai will become an experimental physicist.

Therefore, he wanted to take Xu Qitai to the radiology conference to broaden his horizons, and later gradually arrange for him to participate in this kind of work.

With Li Qiwei's intervention, he will minimize the danger and prevent the young man from having health problems due to studying radioactivity.

Xu Qitai's father, Xu Jianyin, changed his fate and did not die in the accident in March this year.

He even wrote a letter to tell Xu Qitai to study hard under Li Qiwei.

Because he had already learned from foreigners about Li Qiwei's current status in the international physics community.

He even vaguely guessed what Li Qiwei was trying to do, so he told his son to hold on to his thigh quickly.

Li Qiwei also sighed that he had finally begun to change the destiny of China bit by bit, and Xu Jianyin would also be a capable general in the future.

After attending the radiology conference, Li Qiwei will go to Belgium to host an exchange meeting for young scholars and meet future bigwigs.

He already had a list in his hand, which basically included the people who would be present that day.

It is worth mentioning that Rutherford and Wilson are also on the invitation list, one is 29 years old and the other is 31 years old, both are young talents. This is why Rutherford invited Li Qiwei to start together.

Of course, the most important thing is Einstein.

He planned to tell Einstein all his thoughts on the special theory of relativity at the meeting, and wait until next year to become a co-first author.

Li Qiwei is a person who only cares about substance and not appearance. He only cares about real power, not false reputation.

If he had published the narrow views alone, it would certainly have enhanced his reputation, but it would not have had any practical benefits.

On the contrary, he published it together with Eros, and then brought up the name of the Zurich School, and everyone would only think that Li Qiwei was a capable person.

There are benefits. He is really willing to give his brother a chance. After all, Li Qiwei is much more famous than Einstein at this time.

Even if they are the same work, outsiders will only think that Li Qiwei played a greater role.

Therefore, he can not only gain a reputation for high moral character, but also attract more people to follow him, and finally successfully resolve the risk of being the focus.

Kill three birds with one stone, why not do it?

Li Qiwei has made up his mind that as long as the City of Science is not built and his own safety is not guaranteed, he will never deliberately show off.

As for why he was in a hurry to publish the narrow version next year, it was because Li Qiwei needed an identity.

Not only did he plan to use narrow physiognomy as his doctoral thesis and successfully obtain a doctorate, he also wanted to use it to obtain the title of professor at Cambridge.

As for being a fellow of the Royal Society of London, Li Qiwei was not sure. He didn't know whether his identity would have any impact.

With this identity, he will be qualified to raise his voice, become the academic leader of China, slowly climb up and accumulate prestige.

The professors of this era are not comparable to the professors of later generations. Their value is simply incomparable.

In some schools, there may be only one or two professors.

Don’t be fooled by Li Qiwei’s superior skills in the early stage, the professors are just supporting roles.

From the perspective of an ordinary student like Chris, Professor Case is someone he looks up to throughout his life.

As for whether the special theory of relativity can be published next year, Li Qiwei feels that with his own hints and relying on the extraordinary talent of Eros, it should not be a problem to come up with the special theory of relativity three years ahead of schedule.

After all, this pure theory was born in a flash of inspiration and has nothing to do with the current level of scientific development.

After attending the two academic conferences, Li Qiwei will eventually go directly to the Netherlands to inspect Philips' factory and guide the company's production and R&D.

In a month, Gerard should have designed the production process.

However, the concept of assembly line did not exist at that time (it was only proposed by Ford in 1913), and the production of light bulbs was all handmade and assembled, so the efficiency and error can be imagined.

Therefore, it was necessary for him to improve the factory's process flow in advance and help Gerard work towards becoming a big company.

By the way, let me reveal some marketing methods of the future. By then, high-quality tungsten filament bulbs will definitely quickly occupy the market and sell well.

At this point, the mission planning for this long journey has been completed.

After planning everything in his mind, Li Qiwei began to write them down one by one with a pen.

Fortunately, France, Belgium and the Netherlands are three adjacent countries, and their combined area is not large, only equivalent to three or four provinces in China.

This trip shouldn't be too tiring.

But the sad thing is that the remaining two months of vacation will soon be gone.
