LeWitt's research on the distance measurement of Cepheid variable stars was originally a very dazzling achievement.
Li Yu said with a smile: "From now on, the Harvard Observatory will probably be a frequent visitor to the Astronomical Society. Maybe many of your assistants can join the Astronomical Society."
Director Pickering also smiled and said: "Then it will no longer be Pickering's harem, I will become their harem."
Michelson also asked about his experiment: "If it were not for the ether, it is really difficult to imagine what theory could be used to explain such a real and absurd experimental phenomenon."
Edison said: "Sometimes science seems 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 remains 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 no longer enough, and new theory is needed. Please believe that it won't be long before everyone can see the scene behind this dark cloud."
Michelson asked: "What kind of sight?"
Li Yu said: "Lightning and thunder."
Michelson laughed: "What a sight!"
After tasting the 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 exactly 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 what many people imagine. It can be said that it is very desolate."
The reporter suddenly realized: "In this way, it is not beautiful, just like many people who are bright and beautiful on the surface, but in fact they are not as good as they want on the back."
Or will reporters 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 side of the moon, let alone mysterious immigrants from the earth." Another reporter said.
Americans today are indeed very concerned about immigration issues.
Li Yu nodded: "That's true. Not only are there no earthlings, there are also no aliens."
"alien?"
Li Yu said something casually, which was actually written down by many media. I am afraid that some authors will be inspired to write articles about aliens in the future, and they will more or less 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 said: "It will bring people in different places on the earth closer, and it will also lift many veils that look gorgeous or dirty, because everyone will be one step closer to the truth. Just like a distant country looking at thousands of miles away
Like other countries outside the country, by then, everyone will be able to know information that is far away 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 smiled and said: "This can only be left to time."
The reporter asked some other questions, including many questions to Edison and others. After that, there was a 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 bit strange.
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 learned more from 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 there have been preliminary results on opening up students from the Qing Dynasty. Congress agreed to move forward with this matter, but in
In the initial stage, the review of international students will be strengthened, and approval from major American schools or foundations will be temporarily required to ensure the quality of students. If the results are good in the future, the channel for international students will be opened on a larger scale."
Piloting first and then promoting is considered routine operation.
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.
Don't worry, the next day's newspapers will definitely report on 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 after seeing outstanding Chinese people like you."
.It was so right to bring you here!”
Li Yu said: "The merits of the minister are great, 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 Management and Education to let them start arranging the dispatch of international students."
When Li Yu returned to New York, David Buick finally came to him and said, "I have completed the handover with Mr. Durant and can join his company."
Li Yu said warmly: "Welcome!"
It was a coincidence that David Buick arrived. Not long after, Li Yu received an order from 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 it was established. Sure enough, it is useful to have 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 continue to improve the factory during the production process.
After Zou Zhou learned about it, he was even more interested. Not only him, but also more than 20 other Chinese 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 that the company will 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 twenty dozen Chinese people behind me will let you down!"
Li Yu nodded: "This is the assessment. Everyone is ready to prepare. The effectiveness of the training can best be seen during the production process."
All the twenty-odd people definitely don’t want to miss such a good opportunity. After all, if you stay, you will get 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 it: "Don't forget the previous sentence, safety is more important."
Zou Zhou smiled and said: "They all come from poverty and die."
Li Yu said seriously: "We must correct this view. Safety must come first!"
Zou Zhou listened to Li Yu's words: "I understand! I will put up a banner today."
Li Yu said with satisfaction: "That's it. Pay attention every day. Safety is more important than Mount Tai." Then he added: "Remember that you don't need to rush in time. It doesn't matter even if it takes two or three months to build it."
Zou Zhou asked: "Won't you be forced to work?"
Li Yu said: "Just let them hurry. It won't be too late. If we ensure the quality of the product, we will be able to place more orders in the future."
Zou Zhou said: "Sir, you have thought deeply. We will not let you down! You are our benefactor, and your business is our business."
Li Yu said: "I will first pay you two months' salary, which is 10 US dollars each, plus 5 US dollars to buy bedding and other daily necessities. From now on, you will live in Detroit."
Zou Zhou smiled and said, "You gave me too much. I bought a bedding for 5 dollars. Could it be that I bought silk?"
"Moving will inevitably cost money," Li Yu added, "I should be returning to China. If you grow up as soon as possible, I may also bring some of you back to China."
Many other people behind 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 Dao Mountain, I, Han Feng, will not 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 essentially handed over the production responsibility to David Buick and Zou Zhou. Fortunately, it was not a particularly difficult product. However, the two of them still felt that there was a sudden extra burden on them.
Fortunately, they are all trustworthy.
As for Li Yu, it is indeed time to return home.
Li Yu had purchased some instruments and facilities early on, and also bought some drawing tools that Xiao De, Zhang and others wanted.
Then he found Sierra and asked, "Do you really want to go to China together?"
Sierra blinked: "Of course! I was even wondering when you would leave."
Li Yu said: "Okay, you can prepare. In addition, don't forget to take out the money from the stock market."
Now that he has earned close to $30,000, Sierra said: “I don’t know how high it will go.”
Li Yu said: "That's about right. The biggest fear in finance is greed. 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 while and said: "I only had a Chinese nickname when I was young, Xiaoxi."
"Xiao Xi..." Li Yu asked again, "What kind of name do you want?"
Sierra said: "With this word 'Happiness', at the same time, 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!"
