After Li Yu parked the car, he jumped out of the car.
"Mr. Planck, Mr. Carl Siemens, I have admired you for a long time!" Carl Siemens looked at Planck, then at Li Yu, and said, "Your Excellency is indeed refreshing to me." Li Yu said with a smile, "Planck Mr. Planck has been busy with quantum theory recently, and his slovenliness must be because he has no time." Planck didn't care at all. After all, he was a handsome man no matter how he said it. He said: "Young people are energetic and can be liked by girls. It's really enviable." Lu Bicheng: "I...we just happened to be walking together." Plank said: "Oriental women really have a kind of subtle beauty, which is well-deserved." Lu Bicheng asked: "Are you praising me?" Plank said Ke said: "Of course, since I know Mr. Li Yu's birthplace, what are the four beauties, some fish and some geese." Lu Bicheng said: "The fish sinks and the wild goose falls, the moon closes and the flowers shy." Lu Bicheng did not use these eight words in English. Instead, he said it in Chinese. Planck didn't understand Chinese and was a little stunned.
Li Yu explained: "In other words, these four beauties can make the fish in the river forget to swim and sink to the bottom of the water; the geese in the sky can land on the sandbank; they can make the moon hide behind the clouds and make the flowers feel shy. They are for the sinking fish, the falling geese, and the flowers. The moon is closed and the flowers are ashamed." Planck marveled: "Chinese culture is really intoxicating. There is also a saying about Yin people on the other side." Li Yu said: "The so-called Yin people are on the water side. This story is also very beautiful. ...Wait!" Li Yu felt something was wrong.
Planck urged, "You haven't explained your meaning yet." Li Yu said, "Mr. Planck, why do you focus on content involving beauties?"
"Is there any?" Plank said,
"I just happened to see it." Lu Bicheng also tilted the corner of his mouth: "What a coincidence." Plank laughed.
"There is another sentence, I remember," he paused for a while, and then said,
"Everyone has the love of beauty." Lu Bicheng said: "You are finally right." Li Yu said: "I saw Mr. Tolstoy when I was passing through St. Petersburg. I'm afraid he doesn't either. I can speak so many ancient Chinese sayings." Plank said proudly: "If I had written, I might have become a best-selling author. By the way, when it comes to best-selling books, your "Star Wars" books are really impressive. I couldn't put it down, and I read it again over the weekend, and I was still not satisfied with it." Li Yu said: "If Mr. Plank likes it, I can write three more prequel stories in the future."
"Prequel?" Plank became even more interested. Li Yu didn't realize that the topic they were talking about when they first met was about ancient Chinese poems about beauties and "Star Wars".
But this is also the daily life of great scientists. They think about quantum mechanics every day, and the CPU in their brains has probably burned out.
Many famous scientists have artistic hobbies. Li Yu nodded: "Yes, a prequel. It is mainly about how Darth Vader grew from a Jedi Knight to a dark leader in the era of the Galactic Republic. Many members of the Jedi Order will appear."
"There will be many dashing warriors who can use lightsabers?" Gangplank asked.
"Yes," Li Yu said,
"The huge backstory will also be expanded upon."
"It's so exciting! When will you start writing?" Planck asked. Li Yu smiled and said: "I'm still thinking about the plot, but I've been a little busy recently..."
"Hey!" Planck said,
"You are so young and naturally full of energy. Just let this beautiful oriental girl take good care of you and hurry up and write!" Lu Bicheng blushed: "Why should I take care of him?" Plank said: "I haven't read it for a long time. The structure is so complete, the story is so grand, and it reveals the direction of scientific development in every wonderful story. In any case, you must encourage the beautiful oriental girl, and as the old Chinese saying goes, Tianzhu is still?" After all, It is a product more than seventy years later. Although the setting is no longer important to later generations, everyone pays more attention to the story itself.
But for the early twentieth century, these settings were simply apocalyptic and imaginative.
"It's the red sleeves that add fragrance..." Lu Bicheng realized something and quickly stopped talking. Li Yu smiled and said: "Mr. Planck's homework is really good." Planck said: "During this period, I also consulted several sinologists in the university and envoys who have been to your country."
"No wonder it's like this." Li Yu said. He really didn't expect Planck to take it so seriously. But he never expected that Planck would continue to emphasize: "I also want you to write a sequel as soon as possible." The purpose turned out to be to urge the manuscript!
Li Yu couldn't laugh or cry: "I understand, Mr. Planck, since you want to see the sequel so much, I will definitely work harder. But this work was not written by me alone, and..."
"I know," Plank said,
"There is also the credit of this beautiful Bicheng girl. Her name is on the cover of the book." Lu Bicheng asked curiously: "Is it very popular in Europe?" Carl Siemens said: "It is very popular. Almost every edition will be sold quickly. It sold out. I thought that before long, publishers from Germany, France, and Italy would come to you and translate it into more languages." Lu Bicheng never thought that she had already gained a reputation abroad, and she still felt very sweet in her heart.
Planck continued: "I have read several physics papers by Mr. Li Yu, as well as "Fractals and Chaos", "Game Theory", etc., and the writing level in them is not at the same level as "Star Wars", Miss Bicheng Your contribution is very great!" Lu Bicheng pouted: "The translator is also very important, and she is also a beautiful oriental girl."
"Oh?!" Plank opened his mouth wide and looked at Li Yu in disbelief.
"You really do this!" He gave a thumbs up. Li Yu said awkwardly: "It's not what you think." Planck spread his hands: "What was I thinking about?" Li Yu changed the subject and said: "Um, is lunch about to start?" Carl Siemens said : "It's ready, let's chat while eating." Several people came to the restaurant, and Li Yu had no hope for German food at all.
It seems that the relatively powerful countries in Europe have relatively poor food culture and not so many beautiful girls.
On the contrary, Southern Europe, which has a slightly poorer economy, is rich in beautiful women and delicious food. Is this probably the reason why countries like Germany focus more on research?
After thinking about it for a while, the food was quickly served. really! No wonder everyone says German food is
"European version of Northeastern cuisine": roasted pork knuckle, sausage, potatoes, sauerkraut and of course bread. I really don’t know why Germans like these things so much and never get tired of them.
It is said that when the then German Chancellor Merkel visited Shenyang in 2016, she ate two servings of white meat sauerkraut by herself!
Well, as expected, the Chinese still know how to cook. The Germans have been making sauerkraut for hundreds of years, but they can’t cook it as well as the Chinese.
The German diet does have a high proportion of meat. If you don’t eat sauerkraut, you will easily get bored. So no matter what the occasion, sauerkraut seems to be an indispensable supplement to the diet.
Compared to roasted pork knuckle and sausage, sauerkraut should be worthy of its name
"Germany's national dish"! Even when President Xi Jinping visited Germany, Merkel entertained him with sauerkraut. Anyway, sauerkraut has become synonymous with Germans. Even the British, who were on the opposite side of the two world wars, directly called Germans.
"Sauerkraut". I wonder if the Germans would call the British
"Fish and chips". Carl Siemens saw Li Yu frowning and asked: "Do you need a tachyon?" Li Yu hurriedly said: "No, just a knife and fork will do." Planck said: "If you don't have enough, you can ask for more. We Germans Pork knuckle is the best in the world!" Li Yu said: "If Professor has the opportunity to come to China, I will definitely show you what real pork knuckle is." Planck's interest was aroused again: " Do the Chinese have better pork knuckles?" Li Yu said with a smile: "Of course, and we have too many delicious things in China, you will definitely like it." Planck suddenly said: "I must go Go to China!” This is actually the reason!
Li Yu felt that Planck was so interesting. It was completely different from his impression. Although he was a bit conservative in scientific research, he still communicated well in life.
Perhaps he knew that Li Yu was equally proficient in mathematics and science and was willing to chat with him; and that the West was still very interested in the mysteries of the East.
Plank suddenly thought: "Yes, you two are Chinese, you should be able to cook Chinese food, right?" Li Yu said: "I can only cook a few simple things, and the Bicheng girl must be a master of cooking. "
"Great!" Planck said,
"You guys are going to show off your skills tonight. I haven't eaten Chinese food yet. Well, am I asking for too much? I need you to hurry up and write a manuscript and make delicious food. Otherwise, I'll give you something as a reward. Equivalent exchange, what do you need?" Li Yu thought for a while and said: "If possible, I am more interested in some of the original manuscripts of the papers published by Mr. Planck at that time."
"It's a deal!" Planck was very happy.
"I thought it was something, but it was just a pile of used draft paper. It had been published anyway, so it was of little use to me." Planck chatted with Li Yu for a while about some Chinese culture, Carl Siemens Then he got back to the topic: "Mr. Li Yu, I have opened a laboratory specifically for you. It is next to the Imperial Institute of Physics. The experimental facilities are more complete. I think if you two take the theory of black body radiation one step further, it will be An unparalleled achievement in today's scientific community." Li Yu said: "I don't know how long I can stay in Germany, I'm afraid it will be a waste of such a good laboratory." Carl Siemens said: "It will not be wasted, Mr. Planck has been In Berlin, he will still be in charge of the work." Planck said: "I am not good at doing experiments." As a theoretical physicist, experiments are indeed not his specialty.
Carl Siemens said: "It doesn't matter, I will allocate manpower from the Imperial Institute of Physics to help you." Planck said: "The experiments on blackbody radiation at the Imperial Institute of Physics have been very comprehensive over the years. I can't think of anything that can Is there anything you can add?" Karl waved his hand: "I don't understand the specific experimental content and mathematics, but you are all top scientists, I think the laboratory will be useful after all. Now there is a foreign academician of the Royal Society Li Yu’s help, Professor Planck, you must also be more determined in your theory.” Planck said: “I still have many problems that are difficult to figure out. I am still studying the use of thermodynamics to think deeply about black body radiation. Look for a more reasonable explanation from this aspect." In fact, after proposing quantum, Planck himself was a little unable to accept it, and he still tried to use classical physics to explain blackbody radiation many years later.
But the dark clouds have been pushed away by him, and he can no longer hide even if he wants to. It's just that quantum theory is indeed like a ghost, and there are so many unknown things that even Planck himself didn't dare to think about it.
Li Yu said: "The professor's quantum point of view is more worthy of improvement, and there is no reasonable explanation in thermodynamics." Planck knew that Li Yu was also very accomplished in thermodynamics. He had previously studied the second law of thermodynamics, the principle of entropy increase, and the third law of thermodynamics. The formulation of laws is a ceiling-level operation for thermodynamics.
Planck asked: "Do you also agree with the energy quantum explanation?" Li Yu nodded vigorously: "The professor's theory is an epoch-making product, but the new things are indeed a bit difficult to accept for a while." Planck said: "Although in theory, your derivation has made the result perfect and unquestionable, I still can't believe that this world is not continuous." Li Yu said: "I don't think there is anything wrong. There is no special contradiction between continuity and quantum theory." Planck said: "No, no, no, the contradiction is simply too great, don't you think it is even a bit unbelievable?" Li Yu thought for a while and said: " There are too many incredible things in the microscopic field, but this is what makes it interesting. I happened to do a very incredible experiment and got preliminary results. I completed it in the laboratory just set up by Mr. Carl Siemens in the past few days. , it can also be regarded as a thank you to Carl Siemens for sponsoring the laboratory." Carl Siemens said happily: "I knew your arrival would not disappoint me!" Planck was more interested in the content and asked curiously: "What is this? Unbelievable?" Li Yu said: "Interfering with the experiment."
"Interference experiment?" Planck was a little confused.
"Double-slit interference experiment? That was completed a hundred years ago, and students in the university can do it."
"No," Li Yu said seriously,
"What I want to do is a double-slit interference test of single photons."
"Single...photon?" Planck was still unable to accept this concept, but he suddenly realized,
"Don't you mean! What do you mean!" Li Yu's eyebrows narrowed: "Yes, I want the world to believe again that light is not just a wave, but a particle." Planck opened his mouth wide: "You - this!" Karl ·Although Siemens is not as familiar with mathematical sciences as his brother Werner Siemens, the founder of Siemens, he is still educated and cannot believe this extremely absurd theory.
In Western textbooks, since Young's double-slit interference experiment was performed, the electromagnetic wave theory was proposed, and the great Maxwell's equations were born, the conclusion about the wave nature of light has been confirmed.
The "particle theory" has been relegated to the cold palace for many years, and it would have been the same if it were not for the great god Newton at that time.
No one who is a firm supporter of the "particle theory" will remember that there is such a theory about light. Li Yu looked at the astonished expressions of the two people and said with a smile: "This is the only way to have a sensational effect."
