Located in the northern part of Queens, the Colona Estate covers more than a thousand acres.

The Manhattan Zeus Company spent $27,000 to buy four houses at the Colena estate.

Li Kangping's house is a tall two-story white building with four columns in front of the house and many lattice fences behind the house, forming a majestic background with a wide lawn.

Buying a house in the United States is bought together with the land, and the house plus the land, the total area of Li Kangping's new home is 11,000 square feet, which is equivalent to about 1,000 square meters.

Overall, houses in Queens are cheaper. The Manhattan Zeus Company was still in its infancy, so the shareholders had a hard time buying a house in Queens.

The houses on the Colena Estate are more expensive than the rest of the Queens because the greenery of the Colena Estate is very well done. Li Kangping's white house has a very high floor height, and the second floor of his house is equivalent to the third floor of someone else's house. Standing on the second floor, Li Kangping looked out the window, he saw the continuous pastures and woods, it was winter, the grass and trees were dry, but in spring, it will be full of spring, and the grass and trees will be flourishing.

The task of purchasing furniture was handed over by Li Kangping to Li Chong. Li Chong's house is also in Kelena Manor, and you can buy two sets of furniture.

Before moving to his new home, Mr. Li was still living in the Morning Street apartment, where he spent Christmas and New Year's Day in Manhattan, and the calendar flipped to 1923.

In early January 1923, Li Kangping received a call from Arthur Compton.

"Li, what I want to tell you is that I have become a professor of physics at the University of Chicago, the spring semester at the University of Chicago has begun, and my first graduate student at the University of Chicago is a Chinese, his name is Wu."

"Y.H. Wu?"

"That's right, Y.H. Wu."

Y.H. Wu is Wu Youxun, he worshiped under Arthur Compton, and his main focus in graduate school should be related to topics related to the Compton effect.

Li Kangping asked, "Arthur, have you handed in your paper?" ”

"Oh, shit!" Arthur Compton complained on the phone, saying, "I shouldn't have shown Duane, yes, I shouldn't have shown him papers!" ”

Li Kangping asked again: "Professor William Duane of Harvard University?" ”

"Who else could it be? It's the Duane chairman. ”

Arthur Compton explained, and Li Kangping understood.

Arthur Compton is a member of APS and a member of the Division of Physics of the American Academy of Sciences.

William Duane, who is the chair of the Division of Physics at the National Academy of Sciences.

This paper on the Compton Effect, Arthur Compton completed a typed version before Christmas, and then sent it to Duane.

Arthur Compton originally thought that Duane would support the paper, but he didn't expect Duane to say that the paper was unreliable and Arthur Compton was not allowed to publish it.

APS President Michelson disagreed with Li Kangping's publication of "On the Quantum of Light," and Duane, chairman of the Division of Physics of the American Academy of Sciences, disapproved Arthur Compton's publication of "The Quantum Theory of X-ray Scattering by Light Elements."

The situation is dire!

Li Kangping frowned and said: "I have been in contact with Professor Duane several times, and one of the reviewers of my "Matter Wave" is Professor Duan, as far as I know, Professor Duane is inclined to the quantum theory of light in his academic thinking, has he changed his academic thinking?" ”

"If Duane supports the wave theory of light, it doesn't matter to me. However, Duane is in favor of the quantum theory of light, which is troublesome. ”

"Arthur, the more you talk about me, the more confused I become, since Professor Duane supports the quantum theory of light, then why doesn't he allow you to publish the quantum theory of X-rays scattered by light elements?"

"Lee, you know, Duane is an authority on X-rays, and his student Ye used the X-ray method to measure the latest Planck constant under his guidance, and the Planck constant in your "Waves of Matter" and my "Quantum Theory of X-ray Scattering by Light Elements" are all Planck constants measured by Duane and Ye. Because Duane is a top X-ray researcher and he supports the quantum theory of light, he is also doing similar experiments. ”

Li Kangping suddenly realized: "Arthur, you finished the experiment before Duane, so Duane does not agree with you publishing the paper?" ”

"Lee, this is where I am distressed, I am in great trouble, and the troublemakers are striking me with the weapon of institutional rules and his selfishness. If my academic credit was snatched away by someone else, maybe I would have shot him in the head and ended my own life in the same way. ”

Li Kangping couldn't see Arthur Compton's appearance at this time, but he could feel Arthur Compton's resolute attitude intertwined with various negative emotions such as anger, sorrow, and irritability.

"Arthur, you must be calm!"

"Dude, I can't calm down, this paper is about my lifelong academic future."

"Arthur, listen to me, impulsiveness won't do anything good, and you ...... it"

"Oh? Are you sure? Is this really possible? ”

"Arthur, try it, I'm sure someone as smart as you would never do something stupid."

Hanging up the phone, Li Kangping fell into deep thought.

Arthur Compton knew that Michelson was the head of the physics department at the University of Chicago, and he also transferred to the University of Chicago, indicating that Arthur Compton was not afraid of the conservative leader Michelson.

Arthur Compton's Trouble is the radical Duane.

Duane is quite powerful, and Duane uses the rules of the system and the convenience of his position to suppress Arthur Compton academically.

This is clearly the style of learning valves!

For Arthur Compton, Duane is a more dangerous threat than Michelson.

For Li Kangping, it must be to bring down the school valve.

The Compton family is an academic family with considerable prestige and resources in the United States, and there is no need for Li Kangping to do this.

Li Kangping only suggested that Arthur Compton and his brother Carl and their entire family should shake people and seek justice.

Li Kangping, who was mainly in charge of European resources, estimated that Einstein had returned to Germany, so he translated "On the Quantum of Light" into German overnight, with a few pages of heartfelt mantras, and sent it to Germany.

Arthur Compton may seem shrewd, but sometimes he is also simple.

Arthur Compton sent the paper to Duane with full trust without knowing that he was doing a similar experiment.

Now relieved, Duane thoroughly understood the details of the Compton experiment.

Arthur Compton only knew that Duane was doing a similar experiment, but he didn't know the specifics of Duane's experiment.

As an academic, the most serious crime in academia is academic plagiarism.

As a famous professor at Harvard University, a member of the American Academy of Sciences + the chairman of the Division of Physics, Duane should not plagiarize Arthur Compton's academic achievements, and he cannot afford to be discredited.

There are many cases in the history of physics where two or more teams have independently carried out similar or even identical research projects without knowing each other. If this is the case, there is no such thing as who plagiarizes whom. Whoever publishes the research results first will be the first person in history and will be eligible for the award.

Lee Kangping preferred to believe that Duane did not know that Compton was doing this experiment until he received Compton's letter.
