"I don't understand the specific physics content you are talking about, but what you mean is that there is still hope for physics, right?" Woodhead continued to ask.
"More than just hope, it's better to just start." Li Yu replied with a smile.
"So who do you think is the most promising physicist today? Also, do you have any hope?"
This is not a salon. Li Yu feels like a press conference. Their questions are too tricky.
"I don't want to criticize others or myself, but really speaking, I admire Professor Planck very much."
"Planck?" Woodhead thought for a while, "I don't seem to have heard of this person's name."
"But he's going to shine eventually."
Li Yu chatted with them for almost two hours, allowing these people to understand that he was truly talented and learned, and did not write his previous paper by chance, which silenced many critics.
Shenbao reporter Shi Liangcai didn't say much until the end. He said to Li Yu at the end: "After listening to Mr. Wang's words, I finally feel that China is not unmanned, and science has not lost intellectually to the West. This is my greatest achievement today." The harvest.”
Shi Liangcai is still young now, only 22 years old. He was admitted as a scholar a few years ago and then went to study at Hangzhou Silkworm College, which is today Zhejiang Science and Technology University.
He truly wanted to serve the country through industry and education. Later, it was he who bought back Shenbao from foreigners and made it truly prosperous, eventually becoming the largest newspaper in the country. He Shuhuan in Deep Love and Misty Rain was a reporter for "Shen Shen". By that time, the status of a "Shen Shen" reporter was already very high.
The key is that Shi Liangcai is neither humble nor arrogant, not afraid of authority, and his reporting is very fair. Later, when faced with President Jiang’s threat of “I have a million troops,” he even replied, “I have a million readers.”
But unfortunately, he was eventually assassinated by Principal Jiang's agents.
Shi Liangcai was about to formally request a manuscript from Li Yu: "We currently have very few scientific articles in Shenbao. Can you write a manuscript for us?"
Everyone is Chinese, and Li Yu immediately accepted it happily: "Of course, what are the content requirements?"
Shi Liangcai said embarrassedly: "To be honest, I know very little about the scientific celebrities and achievements that Mr. just mentioned. I didn't even understand your article, so I never dared to ask questions. Just read and write , as long as it’s about science.”
"Ok, I see."
After the salon, Li Yu told Shi Liangcai his address, which was the new house he had just rented. Shi Liangcai wrote it down carefully and promised to visit the next day.
This is great, not only do I owe the Royal Society manuscripts, but now I also owe the "Declaration".
Patent Office, Bern, Switzerland.
Mr. Einstein, a non-probationary employee who had just joined the job, finished his work and picked up the Proceedings of the Natural Society brought by his trustee. He heard about a well-written article from an alumnus of ETH Zurich.
“Hmm——, there’s something!”
Not long after, he picked up a pen and drew a circle on Li Yu's paper. In the circle was the word "light quantum".
Sure enough, the big boss's vision is equally vicious.
And in his mind, he quickly started his best thought experiment. Recently, he has been thinking about how to explain the photoelectric effect, and this "light quantum" hypothesis seems to be applicable.
Einstein's thinking was also truly unique. He could construct complex experimental procedures in his mind and refine the calculations step by step. If an ordinary person closes his eyes, most likely his mind will be about the house or car he will buy if he wins the lottery, or a group of young ladies in short skirts dancing!
However, before he could think for long, he was interrupted by a document handed over by his boss: "Einstein, let's see if this external combustion engine patent can be approved."
"External combustion engine?" Einstein asked, a bunch of incredible exclamation points running through his mind.
"Yes, let's focus on its safety." The boss said and left.
Einstein reluctantly terminated the world of thought he had built and continued his first job in life.
In the evening, Li Yu returned to Prince Qing's Mansion. Yi Kuang and Zai Zhen already knew the news that Li Yu was moving out the next day, and specially gave him a farewell banquet.
Yikuang raised his wine glass: "With the young gentleman here at home during this time, I have gained a lot, and I will definitely come back more in the future."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I live not far away and I will definitely come to your house often."
After all, it was the late Qing Dynasty, and getting to know some senior officials was like buying insurance.
Yi Kuang ordered the butler to bring a plate with a one hundred tael silver note on it: "Young gentleman, please accept this money."
Li Yu waved his hand: "Your Majesty has already given me one hundred taels, and any more will be too much."
The young prince Zai Zhen said: "Sir, please accept it quickly. I will ask you for advice more in the future."
"Yes, you're welcome." Yikuang said with a smile, "Zai Zhen will go to England to attend the coronation ceremony of the King of England in a few months. You know much more about Britain than he does, and I still need to ask you for advice."
"In this case, it's better to be respectful than to obey."
Li Yu accepted the banknote, just pretending to be modest. Anyway, Prince Qing's Mansion has a lot of money, but to him, this is just a drop in the bucket. No, it should be a drop in the bucket.
But after he said this, Li Yu remembered that Queen Victoria, who had reigned for 64 years, had just passed away last year (that is, 1901), and Crown Prince Edward, who was already 61 years old, finally became the King of England.
The British king has been a bohemian master since he was a child. Of course, he would never have thought that he was not the longest-serving crown prince.
The year Li Yuchuan came, Queen Elizabeth, who had reigned for 70 years, had just passed away, and Prince Charles was already 74 years old when he ascended the throne...
However, Li Yu really didn't know that the Qing Dynasty also sent a special envoy to attend the coronation ceremony of Edward VII. No wonder Zai Zhen looked cheerful and eager to try today. As soon as he entered the door, he heard him practicing his spoken English.
The next day, Li Yu came to Dongchang Hutong. Guapimao Cui Laosan was at the door directing people to move away the two stone lions and the dismounting stone. Such things cannot be placed at the door of ordinary people. If someone reports it, it will definitely be a crime that can be beheaded.
"Hey! Master Li, you are here, come in and take a look, I have tidied up the house!"
Cui Laosan diligently led Li Yu into the gate of the house.
This is a standard small northern courtyard, facing south, with the main door opening in the southeast corner of the house.
There is a screen wall in front of the door. Turn left and there is a passage. There are three houses on the left. This is the so-called outer courtyard.
A few meters ahead, there is a hanging flower door on the right hand side, which distinguishes the "inside" and "outside" of the house. The so-called "two gates" that don't go out and don't take a mile are the hanging flower gate.
After entering the hanging flower gate, the structure inside is what everyone thinks of as a "siheyuan". However, in this inner courtyard, there are only houses on the east, west and north sides. There are five houses in total: the main room and two wing rooms on the north side, and the wing rooms on the east and west sides.
The entire inner courtyard is connected by a circle of hand-curtained verandahs, which is very regular.
By the way, if you turn right when entering the house, there is another door. Entering into it is a long and narrow corridor running north to south, parallel to the back of the east wing. There are also three rooms on the east side of the corridor, which can generally be used as a kitchen and a place for servants to live.
After counting, there are indeed 24 rooms. In modern terms, it is 10 independent houses.
Li Yu looked around and felt quite satisfied. The money was well spent!
