Seeing that Li Yu had finalized the idea of purchasing, Levler said: "Sir, do you have any ideas about the future planning of the island?"
Li Yu said: "I plan to build some buildings to serve as laboratories, scientific research sites, and teaching bases."
Levler gave a thumbs up: "It is really admirable that you are the only one who can buy an island in Sweden for scientific research. When it comes to design and construction, we in Sweden have a very excellent design team and can fully undertake this project." Task."
Li Yu said: "Great! I actually don't have much time to stay in Sweden. If the plan can be finalized, I hope the professor will check it for me."
He has complete confidence in Swedish design. Even in the 21st century, Sweden can be called a design power.
Levler patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, if you want to have Chinese elements, we can do it."
Li Yu smiled and said: "That's not necessary, just build it according to the most common and conventional scientific research base."
Although he believes in Sweden's design capabilities, he is really worried about their understanding of Chinese culture.
Stockholm itself has a so-called "Chinese Palace", which was built as early as around 1753. The Queen of Sweden at that time liked Chinese luxury goods very much, such as porcelain, silk, calligraphy and painting, etc. She bought too much and ran out of space to put it. Then the king built her a two-story building near the palace called the "Chinese Palace" .
But at that time, no one from Sweden had been to China. The king spent a lot of money to hire two Arabs. They claimed to have been to China and had seen Chinese-style palaces, and then the palace was built under the leadership of these two people.
As for the effect...it can only be said to be a fusion of Chinese-style palaces and French Rococo architecture. It feels a little weird.
Li Yu continued: "It can be built exactly according to the standards of experimental buildings in new universities. You don't have to worry about spending money. All the facilities will be the latest."
Levler once again praised: "Mr.'s approach of using his own money to build scientific research institutions is admirable."
Li Yu thought to himself, this is just the beginning, where is the end?
Li Yu came and forcibly "occupied the magpie's nest". When Kang Youwei comes later, let him buy the small island next to it. He'd better stop thinking about it and don't buy the small island next to him. Li Yu doesn't want him to be a neighbor. Kang Youwei's ideas are not really advanced at all. Maybe he will come to him to fight annoying people at any time. A war of words is a headache to think about.
If his apprentice Liang Qichao were to be his neighbor, Li Yu would definitely agree with both hands.
Mayor Lindhagen first took Li Yu back to the city hall and went through the island purchase procedures for him.
Looking at the contract document in his hand, Li Yu felt that it was really interesting. He had not purchased any real estate in Qing Dynasty, but now he had an "overseas territory", which was really unexpected.
In short, with this official document, the name of this island will be "Li Yu Island" from now on!
Levler was at the Academy of Sciences and had many contacts, and he quickly helped Li Yu contact the designer, who happened to be the design team that designed many buildings at Stockholm University, an emerging university. It couldn't be more suitable, even the templates are ready-made.
Stockholm University only started construction 22 years ago. As long as Li Yu likes many buildings, the drawings can be used and they fully meet the requirements for scientific research use.
You only need to slightly change the appearance of the details, and you can save a lot of design fees.
Li Yu didn't want the design to be too complicated yet. Every inch of land on the island was at a premium. He planned to build three four-story scientific research buildings and a four-story apartment building for residential use first.
The area of each building is about 800 square meters, and the four buildings occupy 3,200 square meters. If the distance between buildings is included, almost 5,000 square meters have been used.
In fact, although the island has 27,000 square meters, the usable area is only half, that is, about 13,000 square meters.
The remaining land will be kept for now and will be considered later if necessary.
Since the drawings were relatively new, Li Yu didn't have to worry too much. He could just briefly describe his purpose of use. The construction is not difficult, and he is not anxious about the speed of construction.
The overall cost is estimated to be around 10,000 kronor.
But Li Yu doesn't care about spending money. Anyway, in today's world, inflation is frighteningly fast. Maybe getting some "real estate" can preserve its value.
After returning to the palace, Levler took Li Yu to visit the palace during the day. It is indeed a place where good things have accumulated for hundreds of years.
The level of luxury of the Swedish royal palace is by no means inferior to that of other royal families. In addition to the typical hanging of various precious carpets on the walls, there are also a dizzying number of jewelery tiaras, a medal room dedicated to medals, a medal room dedicated to storing crowns, The Treasure House of the Scepter, etc.
Gustavus III has the largest collection, and there is even an early sculpture of Endymion, a sleeping figure from ancient Greek mythology. The sculptures made by people at that time were too realistic, and all the key parts were carved lifelike, which is not suitable for children.
After more than half of the visit, King Oscar II ended his daily work and called Li Yu to his study.
After all, Li Yu was invited by King Oscar II this time, and he must give him a special lecture on mathematics. The king is more or less an undergraduate in mathematics, and his ability to understand new things is quite good.
Li Yu found that he was almost talking about his experience in lectures. After all, he was still a new era agent with 100 years of scientific accumulation. His ideas were much more advanced than those at the beginning of the 20th century, and he could understand problems at a relatively high level.
The king became more and more satisfied with Li Yu's level. The money was well spent!
"It's a pity that sir is Chinese, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to use his fists." Oscar II said regretfully.
Li Yu said: "There is no regret. We have a saying in China: Hedong in thirty years and Hexi in thirty years will not always be where we are today."
Oscar II actually made an analogy: "I can feel the feeling of chaos in this proverb you said."
Li Yu smiled and said: "It also reminds me that chaos is really everywhere, even I am not aware of it."
After dark, Li Yu continued to perfect his second version of "Fractals and Chaos" in his bedroom.
He corrected and typeset the second edition. In order to take care of readers in different fields, Li Yu first elaborated on concepts and gave examples of phenomena. This part is relatively easy to understand, and even ordinary people can understand it.
Then move on to the math extension, which is the professional part.
It’s no problem if you skip the math part and just read the explanation and examples. Li Yu’s writing is relatively concise and popular, and he strives to be a good “best-selling author”...
In this way, everyone can understand this book regardless of whether their mathematics level is up to standard, which will have a better boosting effect on sales.
His manuscript had been almost written for a long time, so this kind of revision didn't take too much time. After four days, he completed the first draft of the second edition, and the rest could be handed over to the publishing house for review and typesetting.
The reviewers will still be Hilbert, Piano and Koch, so the time will be faster, and they understand this profession to some extent.
Since this book is still highly professional, the publisher gave Li Yu an almost top-notch 20% share.
Moreover, the publishing price of this kind of book is very high, priced at 11 crowns per copy.
If all 30,000 copies are sold out, his share will reach 66,000 crowns, which is already a large amount, and converted into silver, it will be more than 9,000 taels.
