LeWitt's research on Cepheid variable star ranging was originally a very dazzling achievement. Li Yu smiled and said: "I'm afraid the Harvard Observatory will be a frequent visitor to the Astronomical Society from now on. Maybe many of your assistants can join the Astronomical Society." Director Pickering also smiled: "Then it won't be Pickering's harem. , I want to be their harem." Michelson asked about his experiment: "If it weren't for ether, it would be hard to imagine what theory could be used to explain such a real and absurd experimental phenomenon." Edison said: "Sometimes science is It just seemed so absurd at first." Many laboratories have repeated Michelson's experiment and reached the same conclusion. No matter how the reference frame changes, the speed of light is constant.
Eliot said: "I have also seen many amazing and brilliant scholars, even if they are proficient in Maxwell's theory, they cannot explain it." Li Yu said: "The old theory is not enough, and new theory is needed. Please believe it, everyone. Soon, everyone will be able to see the scene behind this dark cloud." Michelson asked: "What kind of scene?" Li Yu said: "Lightning and thunder." Michelson laughed: "What a good scene!" After sipping cocktails, President Theodore Roosevelt took the scientists to the reception hall on the first floor, where several media outlets were present to answer their questions.
"Mr. Li Yu, I'm from the Washington Post. Many readers are concerned about your recent article on tidal locking of the moon. If only one side of the moon faces the earth, what is the other side?" Li Yu said: "It is full of holes. .”
"Can you explain it in detail?" Li Yu said: "The other side of the moon is densely covered with craters, which is different from many people's imagination. It can be said that it is very desolate." The reporter suddenly realized: "In this way, it is not Not beautiful, just like many people who are bright and beautiful on the surface, but actually are not as good as they want on the back." Still, reporters will think of it.
However, it would be more than half a century before humans actually saw the far side of the moon for the first time, when the Soviet Union's Luna 3 took photos.
"So there are no gods or monsters on the back of the moon, let alone mysterious immigrants from the earth." Another reporter said.
Americans today are indeed very concerned about immigration. Li Yu nodded: "That's true. Not only are there no earthlings, there are also no aliens."
"Aliens?" Li Yu said casually, but many media took note of it. I am afraid that some authors will be inspired to write articles about aliens in the future, and more or less they will mention the extragalactic galaxy that Li Yu just discovered.
The reporter from "Le Monde" asked again: "What are the prospects of the mobile radio receiving device invented by Mr. Li Yu?" Li Yu said: "It will bring people in different places on the earth closer, and it will also make many people who look like The gorgeous or dirty veil is lifted, because everyone will be one step closer to the truth. Just like a distant country looks at other countries thousands of miles away, by then, everyone will be able to know distant information faster. "
"What a great progress!" the reporter said,
"Do you think you will become as good a scientist as Maxwell and Lord Kelvin?" Li Yu said with a smile: "This can only be left to time." The reporter asked some other questions, including many questions to Edison and others The problem, after this, is the formal dinner.
Li Yu also attended dinner parties when he went to England and France before. Although the cuisine of this American dinner party was not as good as that of France, it was still better than when he was in England.
Only the goat cheese cake tasted a little weird. The lamb chops, jambalaya, peach tart, and French sour cream ice cream that followed were much more delicious.
It can be seen that the White House dinner is more inspired by French cuisine. But the New Orleans mixed rice was not much better than the mixed fried rice that Li Yu ordered for takeout back then, but the ingredients were really sophisticated.
During the meal, Theodore Roosevelt solemnly told Li Yu: "Congress has not yet passed a resolution on returning the Boxer Indemnity, but it has already had preliminary results on opening up students from the Qing Dynasty. Congress agreed to move forward with this matter, but after In the initial stage, the review of international students will be strengthened, and approval from major American schools or foundations is temporarily required to ensure the quality of students. If the results are good thereafter, the channel for international students will be opened on a larger scale." Piloting first, and then promoting it is considered routine. operate.
Li Yu raised his glass and said happily: "Not only me, but also the minister and many Chinese students will be very happy when they know about it!" After the dinner, everyone enjoyed the song and dance performance before leaving the party.
No wonder the next day's newspapers will cover the White House dinner. Li Yu couldn't wait to tell Liang Cheng about the opening of the channel for international students.
Liang Cheng was very pleased: "Your contribution is really not small. I think the United States only made up its mind to accept international students again when it saw outstanding Chinese people like you. It was right to bring you here!" Li Yu said: " The minister has done a great job, but I am just pushing the boat along." Liang Cheng said: "It is not easy to know how to push. I will immediately notify the Prime Minister's Yamen and the Minister of Education and let them start arranging the dispatch of international students." When Li Yu returned to New York, David Buick finally came to see him.
"I have completed the handover with Mr. Durant and can join his company." Li Yu said warmly: "Welcome!" David Buick's arrival was also a coincidence. It didn't take long for Li Yu to receive it. Pre-orders were placed by Mr. Henry Leland and others. His Cadillac company and engine factory plus some other manufacturers needed at least 1,500 sets of electronic starting systems.
As an appointment order, there is no specified delivery time, but naturally the sooner the better. David Buick did not expect that Li Yu Company would have orders just after its establishment. Sure enough, it is useful to hold the key patents in hand.
Li Yu said: "We need to start production as soon as possible." David Buick is familiar with engine manufacturing. It is not difficult to produce this electric system. Even if the factory he just bought is very simple, he can still manufacture it and then continue production. In the process, we continue to improve the factory building.
After Zou Zhou learned about it, he was even more interested. Not only him, but also more than 20 other Chinese people who received training were also eager to try.
Li Yu entrusted the purchase of raw materials to David Buick, while Zou Zhou and the others were involved in the production process.
Li Yu told Zou Zhoudao: "There is no time limit for this order, but we must ensure quality. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. As long as it is a defective product, you will be reimbursed without hesitation! It is inevitable for a company to encounter these problems at the beginning, and I will not blame you. . Because safety is the life of workers, and quality is the life of the enterprise." Zou Zhou said: "I will keep your words in mind! Neither I nor the more than 20 Chinese people behind me will let you down!" Li Yu nodded: "This is the assessment. Everyone is prepared to prepare. The effectiveness of the training can best be seen during the production process." All the more than 20 people definitely didn't want to let go of such a good opportunity. After all, staying here is a high-paying job.
Zou Zhou led them in shouting: "Brothers, speak louder so that Mr. Li Yu can hear your determination!" More than 20 people shouted together: "Quality is life! Quality is life!" Li Yu stretched out his hand and pressed: " Don't forget the previous sentence, safety is more important." Zou Zhou said with a smile: "They all come from poverty and die." Li Yu said seriously: "We must correct this view, safety must be the first priority!" Zou Zhou Zhou very listened to Li Yu's words: "I understand! I will make a banner and put it up today." Li Yu said with satisfaction: "That's it, pay attention every day, safety is more important than Mount Tai." Then he said: "Time Remember, there is no need to rush. It doesn’t matter even if it takes two or three months to make it.” Zou Zhou asked, “Won’t you be rushed?” Li Yu said, “Just let them rush it. It won’t be too late. The quality of the product is guaranteed. , there will be more orders in the future." Zou Zhou said: "Sir, it is better to think deeply, we will not let you down! You are our benefactor, and your business is our business." Li Yu said: "I will send it first I'll give you two months' salary, 10 US dollars each, plus 5 US dollars to buy bedding and other daily necessities, and you will live in Detroit from now on." Zou Zhou smiled and said: "You gave too much, 5 US dollars to buy bedding, is it difficult? Buying silk?"
"Moving will inevitably cost money," Li Yu added,
"I should be returning to China. You guys should grow up as soon as possible. I may also bring some of you back to China by then." Many other people behind me were very excited: "Great! I haven't been back for more than ten years! "
"Don't talk about such good things. Even if I follow Mr. Li Yu down the mountain of swords, I, Han Feng, will never say no!"
"You'd better pass the assessment first, otherwise Mr. Li Yu won't like you!" Seeing their enthusiasm, Li Yu felt even more relieved.
He installed two more telegraph machines in the factory to facilitate future communications. Li Yu is equivalent to handing over the production responsibility to David Buick and Zou Zhou. Fortunately, it is not a particularly difficult product.
But the two of them still felt that there was a sudden weight on them. Fortunately, they are all trustworthy. And Li Yu, it's really time to return home.
Li Yu had purchased some instruments and facilities early, and also bought some drawing tools that Xiao De Zhang and others wanted.
Then he found Sierra and asked: "Are you really going to China together?" Sierra blinked: "Of course! I was even wondering when you would leave." Li Yu said, "Okay, you can get ready. . In addition, don’t forget to take out the money from the stock market.” Now that he has earned nearly 30,000 US dollars, Sierra said: “I don’t know how high it will go.” Li Yu said: “It’s almost okay. The biggest fear in finance is Greedy. If you want to make funds make money through the stock market, there will be many opportunities in the future." Sierra agreed: "That's true."
"Also," Li Yu said,
"If you go to China, you'd better have a Chinese name." Sierra tilted her head and thought for a moment and said, "I only had a Chinese nickname when I was a child, Xiaoxi."
"Xiao Xi..." Li Yu asked again,
"What kind of name do you want?" Sierra said: "With the word 'Xi', but not too weak." Li Yu thought for a moment,
"How about calling me Xie Yuxi?"
"Xie Yuxi~" Sierra said happily,
"Okay, from now on I will be called Xie Yuxi!"
