"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 to be honest, 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, thereby letting these people understand that he was truly talented and learned, and did not write his previous papers by chance, thus silencing 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, he bought back "Shen Shen" from foreigners and allowed it to truly flourish, eventually becoming the largest newspaper in the country. He Shuhuan, who is in deep love and misty rain, is the author of "Shen Shen".
"Declaration" reporter, by that time, it would be very serious to declare the identity of a reporter.
The key is that Shi Liangcai was neither humble nor arrogant, unafraid of authority, and his reporting was very fair. Later, when faced with Principal Chiang'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, Shenbao, currently have very few scientific articles. 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 famous scientific figures 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.”
"Okay, I understand."
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 in 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 bosses all have the same vicious eyes.
In his mind, he quickly started his best thought experiment. Recently, he had been thinking about how to explain the photoelectric effect, and this "light quantum" hypothesis seemed to be applicable.
Einstein's thinking is also really unique. He can construct complex experimental steps in his mind and elaborate on the calculation step by step. If an ordinary person closes his eyes, most of his mind will be about the house or car he should buy if he wins the lottery, or a group of people wearing shorts.
Little sister in skirt, let’s dance!
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 issues." The boss said and left.
Einstein reluctantly terminated the thinking world he built and continued his first job in life.
In the evening, Li Yu returned to Prince Qing's Mansion. Yikuang and Zai Zhen already knew the news that Li Yu was moving out the next day, and gave him a farewell banquet.
Yikuang raised his wine glass: "With the young gentleman at home during this time, I have gained a lot, and I will definitely come back with 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.
Yikuang 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 have to ask you for advice 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 and was just pretending to be humble. Anyway, Prince Qing's palace had a lot of money, and this was just a drop in the bucket for him. No, it should be a drop in the bucket.
But after he said this, Li Yu remembered that last year (that is, 1901), Queen Victoria, who had reigned for 64 years, had just passed away, and Crown Prince Edward, who was already 61 years old, finally became the King of England.
The King of England has been a bohemian 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...
But Li Yu really didn't know that the Qing Dynasty also sent a special envoy to attend the coronation ceremony of King 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! Mr. 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 gate on the right hand side, which distinguishes the "inside" and "outside" of the house. The so-called "two gates" that do not go out or go out, are this hanging flower gate.
After entering the hanging flower gate, the structure inside is what everyone has in mind as a "siheyuan", but 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-curved 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, they are 10 independent houses.
Li Yu looked around and felt quite satisfied. The money was well spent!
After the follow-up book review is normal, I will put some pictures in the book review area, such as this picture of an ancient courtyard, to facilitate everyone's reading.
