Chapter 073 Academic Exchange

At the behest of the two bosses, the purchasing manager of Benjamin and White Brothers Trading Company conducted the quotation business in writing in a manner consistent with U.S. law.

The first transaction was 500 sets of Hera mahjong, which Manhattan Zeus currently has in stock.

Manhattan Zeus received $8,500 from Wright Brothers Trading Company.

Our company has finally started to make money, and the profit from a deck of Hera mahjong is $7.64.

Either way, Manhattan Zeus' mahjong business is on track.

Continue to recruit workers, expand the plant, and quickly increase the production capacity to the challenge of 120,000 pairs per year. This is the goal of our company in the next phase.

Spring is coming to an end. Today, Li Kangping, Allen, and Mark are all on the day shift, and they are waiting for the arrival of Mr. Hendrik Lorenz in the laboratory.

At nine o'clock, accompanied by Professor Woodgate, Lorenz arrived at the laboratory.

Lorenz, 69, wears glasses and has a beard with sideburns, he doesn't have much hair, and his beard is all white. Lorenz is affable, and if he were dressed in red and put on a red hat, he would look a lot like Santa Claus.

"Mr. Lorenz, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Li Kangping, Allen, and Mark sent sincere greetings.

"Kids, how are you?" Lorenz said with a smile that he was fluent in many Chinese and his English was fluent.

Mark came to work in Woodgate's lab after graduating with a Ph.D., and Li Kangping and Allen were students of Woodgate.

The so-called next-generation relatives, for the apprentices of the apprentices, Lorenz showed a friendly and kind attitude.

"Lee, Mark, Allen, they're all excellent." Professor Woodgate said.

"Yes, William, they're all excellent, and so are you." Lorenz still smiled lovingly.

In Li Kangping's view, Lorenz's status in the international physics community in his later years was similar to that of the emperor.

Lorenz was a brilliant theoretical physicist who from 1911 onwards was primarily engaged in education and in the conduct of the international physics community.

Although Lorenz is no longer at the peak of his academic career, the important thing to be a person to achieve Lorenz level is title, prestige, character, and personality.

The emperors and princes of physics at the peak of their studies showed their talents in specific academic fields, and the emperor of physics, Lorenz, presided over the overall situation and grasped the scale in the general direction.

"Lee, I've read your Matter Waves." Lorenz said to Li Kangping.

Li Kangping said expectantly: "Mr. Lorenz, I would like to hear your opinion on "Matter Wave". ”

"It's a revolutionary paper, and only the brightest brains can write it." "Now, let me look at your electron diffraction experiments." Yes, you experiment, as usual. ”

"This is our entire experimental setup." Professor Woodgate said.

Lorenz looked at the device intently, and he was amazed: "Such an intricate device is like a work of art." William, activate this device. ”

"Okay."

Professor Woodgate became the experimenter, turning on the experimental setup and operating the experiment as usual.

Sitting in his chair, Lorenz asked, "Who's going to tell me the details of this experiment?" ”

Woodgate poured a cup of coffee and handed it to Lorenz, saying, "The main designer of this experiment is Lee, and Lee will explain it." ”

"Lee, are you a theoretical physicist or an experimental physicist? The person who could write "Waves of Matter", I thought he must be a theoretical physicist. Lorenz was surprised.

"I'm kind of a theoretical physicist who can do experiments."

Li Kangping then talked about the design principles and various details of the electron diffraction experiment.

Lorenz listened patiently, occasionally comparing the actual experimental device with the actual device.

"Mr. Lorenz, this is the experimental data that we have obtained, and the results that have been calculated based on that data. We set a series of voltage values and pressurize them sequentially from low to high......"

In those physics labs in Europe, such as the Leiden Laboratory, all the bigwigs do experiments, and the students watch, listen, and humbly learn the bigwigs' operational skills and academic ideas.

Now the situation is reversed, and the person watching and listening is the big guy Lorenz.

It's not that we see Lorenz as a student, but we report to Lorenz as a debriefer on the academic side.

Li Kangping cherishes this rare opportunity, and he hopes that Lorenz, Einstein or other bigwigs can sit in this laboratory, and everyone can chat and talk about their ideals, and they should be happy.

"The charge carried by the crystal atoms has a strong effect on the electron waves, resulting in a short exposure time. Let me look at the electron diffraction patterns that you guys have, oh yes, they're pretty clear, so the key is how well the measured values match the theoretical values. ”

Lorenz looked at the experimental data that had been obtained, and he said: "I have seen with my own eyes, you have put in a lot of effort, and I hope that your experiment is successful." In fact, there are many people in Europe who are skeptical of the matter wave hypothesis, believing that it is impossible to obtain conclusive evidence from experiments. There are also some European physicists who have tried to conduct experiments, but they only stay at the ideation stage and do not make any substantive moves. As a theoretical physicist, I can't refute the matter wave hypothesis at the theoretical level, but I can't be sure of the validity of the matter wave hypothesis. ”

"Fortunately, I came here this time, and I saw that you have not only designed and built this exquisite and reliable experimental device, but also got closer and closer to success. What you're doing now is 60 volts, and you're planning to do it all the way to 72 volts, and it's actually going to be very fast, and you'll be able to do it all by the beginning of June. I'll probably be returning to the Netherlands in July, so you got the full results at the beginning of June, please let me know immediately. Lorenz said expectantly.

Li Kangyuan thought that Lorenz should have a big frame for a physics leader, but he didn't expect Lorenz to be so approachable.

Lorenz's academic attitude is open, and Li Kangping respects the white-bearded grandfather, who is nearly 70 years old.

"Mr. Lorenz, you said you would stay in the United States until July?" Li Kangping asked.

"I'm coming to the U.S. purely privately, I'm not going to give any public speeches, I'm not going to participate in any public events, I just want to visit a few old friends, old friends who are alive, and old friends who are dead." Lorenz said with a little sadness, "I've been through the European war, I've been through the Spanish flu, but I'm still alive." Some old friends are unfortunate that I can't make it to his funeral, and all I can do is go to his tombstone and lay a bouquet of flowers and my thoughts. ”
