Li Yu is a good gourmet. The food in Vienna is not as good as Italy, but it is much better than in Germany. Thinking of going to Berlin in a while, it is better to treat yourself well in these places first.
The influence of the Wittgenstein family is not low. After the waiter served the fried pork chop, Karl proudly said: "This wild boar was sent by Archduke Ferdinand after hunting a few days ago. It is perfect for entertaining distinguished guests."
Li Yu knew that Crown Prince Ferdinand, who later led to the outbreak of World War I, was very fond of hunting. He had shot 5,000 deer alone. His obsession with hunting probably caused permanent damage to his eardrums. It was his response to the 1914 assassination attempt.
One of the reasons for slow response.
The fried pork cutlet is relatively cooked, and the Oriental stomachs of Li Yu, Lu Bicheng, and Konoe Akiyuki are more adaptable.
After tasting it, Gustav Mahler sighed: "If the Grand Duke succeeds to the throne in the future, maybe he will be more friendly to us."
The Mahler and Wittgenstein families were all Jews, and anti-Semitism was the most ferocious in Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Although their family has been obviously Germanized for a long time, they still cannot hide their Jewish identity.
Mahler was forced to convert from Judaism to Catholicism in order to maintain his position as artistic director of the Vienna State Opera, because Vienna did not allow Jews to hold this position.
He had always lived a careful and careful life to avoid attracting attacks from anti-Semites.
Even though Karl has become a very rich man, he is still unavoidable from this kind of trouble. "If it can really change, I may transfer my wealth back to Austria. After all, I love this place deeply."
As early as a few years ago, Karl secretly transferred a large amount of wealth abroad, and the capitalists' sense of smell seems to be more sensitive.
After Li Yu mentioned that he wanted to purchase an enamel production line, Karl was very enthusiastic: "I will definitely help complete the request made by Mr. Academician. This is easy for me."
Li Yu raised his glass and said: "I will never delay when it comes to the price."
Karl said: "I didn't expect to be able to negotiate another business deal with you."
Formal dinners for Europeans usually last for a long time. By the time they end, it is already very late. By this time, it is too late to find a hotel, so we have to stay at Wittgenstein's house.
Carl was very polite: "I have a very large ensuite bedroom that can accommodate three people."
Li Yu quickly said: "Sir, it is best to provide two rooms."
Karl thought that Li Yu still had principles and wanted to implement the rumored "flip card" system in the East. Since there were plenty of rooms at home, he arranged two rooms.
Li Yu naturally let Lu Bicheng and Konoe Aoxue stay in the best suite.
The suite is large in size and luxuriously decorated, showing the strength of the Wittgenstein family. There is a huge bathtub in the bathroom.
The room Li Yu lived in was relatively simple, but he could still take a hot bath.
After two days of traveling and traveling, Li Yu was somewhat tired. After taking a bath, he lay on the bed and wanted to sleep, but suddenly he heard Lu Bicheng and Konoe Akiyuki laughing in the shower room.
"No, that's how Marat looked like in the bathtub in "The Death of Marat"."
"so?"
"No, hang your hands more naturally! It's not natural enough. Wait a minute, let me help you...ah, I'm sorry, I accidentally touched it. I usually wrap it up tightly, so I didn't expect it to be so big."
"Don't come~"
"And you're so white."
…
Li Yu heard his heart beat faster and quickly covered his head with a quilt to sleep.
——
The next day, Li Yu planned to visit his old friend Boltzmann. After all, they were all in Vienna, so it was unreasonable not to meet him.
Karl asked the butler to drive him. After getting into the car, Li Yu saw that little Wittgenstein was also in the car. The butler said: "The young master has classes today and needs to send him to school. Don't worry, sir, it won't take too long."
Li Yu said: "It doesn't matter, I'm not in a hurry."
On the way, young Wittgenstein asked Li Yu: "Sir, how did you learn so much mathematics and physics knowledge?"
Li Yu said patiently: "This question is a bit broad. If I put it simply, I think there is only one word that can sum it up: love."
Little Wittgenstein asked again: "What should you do if someone bullies you when you are in school?"
The current school environment is very different from before Li Yu traveled through time. Taking into account Wittgenstein's Jewish identity, Li Yu replied: "If people don't offend me, I won't offend them; if people offend me, I will offend them. If you bully you
, just fight back bravely, otherwise they will think you are easy to bully and continue to bully you. But it is best to hide your identity first."
Little Wittgenstein nodded: "I remember!"
When the car arrived at the school, little Wittgenstein got out of the car with his schoolbag on his back and walked to the campus with some other students.
Li Yu glanced casually, and suddenly felt a cold breath. When he looked back, he said, "Oh my god! Isn't that a mustache?"
Little Wittgenstein walked side by side with him and said to him: "Adolf, didn't you say you didn't want to go to school and wanted to be a painter?"
Adolf angrily said: "My father disagrees. He insists that only being a civil servant is the right path, but he has no idea how great my talent in art is! He just wants to kill a talented painter in his cradle!"
Young Wittgenstein said: "What's wrong with being a civil servant?"
Adolf said: "No matter how good he is, I don't like it! In short, even if he insists on letting me come to school, I will not continue to study hard. Where are you? You said that, are you going to leave the backward team and become an excellent bookworm?"
?”
"I'm not a nerd!" said little Wittgenstein, "You have ideals, and so do I. I want to become a top scholar like Boltzmann and Li Yu!"
Adolf scoffed: "It's even more out of reach than being a painter."
"It's not out of reach. Mr. Li Yu had dinner with me at my house yesterday. He doesn't seem to be as mysterious and unpredictable as the rumors say." Young Wittgenstein said.
"How is that possible!" Adolf didn't believe it.
"If you don't believe it, look!" Little Wittgenstein pointed in the direction of the car, "We were riding in the car together in the morning, but he still had to meet the great Professor Boltzmann."
Adolf glanced at Li Yu and sighed: "It doesn't look that old. So, I really can't give up my desire to be a painter."
Young Wittgenstein said: "Of course I can't give up! I will enter the University of Vienna in the future, and you can go to the Vienna Academy of Arts."
"Agreed!" Adolf cheered up.
The two middle school students walked into the campus as they spoke.
Li Yu sat back in the car and sighed: "I can't believe it, I can't believe it!"
——I really didn’t expect that these two are still classmates.
The housekeeper asked curiously: "Sir, are you recalling your student days? You must have been the best student back then."
The butler was well-mannered and spoke very pleasantly. Li Yu replied: "No matter whether he is excellent or not, young people are the seeds of the future. It's just that you can't predict what kind of flower will bloom. It might be a rose or a piranha."
The housekeeper said while driving: "I read in the newspaper that this is your chaos theory, called the 'carp effect'."
Li Yu said: "That's what happened."
The car drove all the way to the University of Vienna, where Boltzmann happened to be in class.
He is very serious in class, writes neatly on the blackboard, and speaks very fluently.
This class is a philosophy class, but it is not philosophy in the narrow sense. Originally, the philosophy class was taken by Mach, but in the past two years it was given to Boltzmann.
At this time, Boltzmann was talking about physics and mathematics: "There are many things that are often beyond our understanding and appear unusual. Just like the Göttingen mathematician Minkowski, he believed that space is not only
Three dimensions can be four dimensions or even more; and space can even be curved..."
The students definitely couldn’t understand this advanced theory and were confused when they heard:
"Fourth dimension? What does it look like?"
“Is space bending like bending a pipe?”
"Sounds more like science fiction!"
Boltzmann glanced at Li Yu standing outside the window and said, "Great, there is someone who can explain it better than me."
Boltzmann greeted Li Yu: "Foreign academician of the Royal Society, academician of the French Academy of Sciences, academician of St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences, member of the American Physical Society, PhD in Mathematics and Physics from Cambridge University, Mr. Li Yu, please come in!"
Boltzmann deliberately read out his long title.
Li Yu smiled and said, "You actually know so much."
The students were also very excited to see Li Yu, after all, Li Yu's name has been so famous recently.
Boltzmann said: "Now that you are here, I can't let you come here in vain."
Li Yu had no choice but to stand on the podium and said: "What Professor Boltzmann said is not wrong. This is the latest theory, but it has only been deduced mathematically. As we all know, mathematics is the precursor of science. As for when physics
If you can discover it, you have something to look forward to. But it’s not that difficult to understand this theory.”
Li Yu glanced at the podium and tore off a piece of paper from the handout, "Everyone in the Möbius strip must know that like this, it has only one surface, and an ant can crawl across the entire curved surface without crossing its edge.
By analogy..."
Li Yu drew a schematic diagram of a Klein bottle on the blackboard: "As early as twenty years ago, German mathematicians imagined such a structure. It is different from the cups you and I use to drink water. It has no 'edges'.
A fly can fly directly from the inside of the bottle to the outside without passing through the surface. In other words, it has no distinction between inside and outside. This object belongs to the four-dimensional space."
Li Yu also wrote down the differential equation of the Klein bottle, but it looked a bit complicated and scary.
The students were immediately impressed, "It turns out that this seemingly impossible thing has been deduced in mathematics a long time ago!"
After class, Boltzmann said happily: "It seems that you are still very suitable for teaching. I can ask the principal to let you give a special lecture."
Li Yu said with a smile: "My blackboard writing skills should not be embarrassing all the time, otherwise people will think that China's world-famous calligraphy is just mediocre."
