Professor Woodgate was a pragmatic man who had begun to draft experimental projects for the determination of Planck's constant.

Giving up halfway is a derogatory term, and retreating in the face of difficulties is a neutral word.

No one wants to take on the labor of Sisyphus, no one wants to suffer.

There is still money left for the space quantization experiment, and Professor Woodgate, who has retreated, has not produced relevant research results, and he is responsible for his conscience, but he is not responsible for Orn and Sindra.

Aoun and Sindra sponsor Professor Woodgate's research projects, which is akin to doing charity.

The benevolent entrepreneurs don't care about a few pieces of equipment and two thousand dollars, they want Professor Woodgate's experiment to be successful, and if it fails, the entrepreneurs will not blame Professor Woodgate, after all, charity is charity, and charity does not ask for anything in return.

Professor Woodgate has a loss, he loses his reputation, he will never go to Orn and Sindra to ask for sponsorship again, he will consider other benevolent and wealthy companies.

"Maybe I was wrong in the first place."

This summary is Professor Woodgate's biggest takeaway.

"Professor! Professor! I did it! ”

An enthusiastic Li Kangping rushed into Professor Woodgate's office.

"Lee, although we know each other very well, I think you should knock on the door first." Professor Woodgate said, and he asked, "Tell me, what did you do?" ”

Li Kangping said loudly: "I got the silver layer pattern!" ”

"What do you get?" Professor Woodgate shook his body, and the soot fell on his thigh.

"Silver, pattern, silver!"

"How did you get the Silver Layer pattern?"

"I did an experiment overnight and I got the silver layer pattern."

"Lee, are you sure you did it?"

"Professor, let's go to the lab."

"Looks like it's true? Why do miracles befall you? ”

With doubts, Professor Woodgate followed Li Kangping to the laboratory.

"Professor, please take a look!" Li Kangping pointed to the microscope and said.

The professor moved to the microscope, still questioning, and he began to look at the glass plate.

As the minutes ticked by, Professor Woodgate saw it clearly.

"Lee, you did it, you really did it!"

The ecstatic professor hugged Li Kangping, and he slapped Li Kangping's strong back: "I knew you would be able to do it, and the day you gave me the experimental design drawing, I knew it!" God, there's no reason for us to give up on this project, we'll keep doing it, yes, I promise! ”

Professor Woodgate was not carried away by the sudden joy, and he took extreme care to pull out the glass plate, which was the size of a palm, and it was about whether a theory was correct or not.

Holding this supreme glass plate, the professor enters the darkroom, where the developing equipment will take a photograph of the silver pattern, which needs no elaboration on the scholarly value of this photograph, which is a powerful evidence that we have been searching for.

It takes time for the darkroom to develop, and Professor Woodgate, who is gradually calming down, asks Li Kangping: "Lee, my dearest Lee, now you can sue me for the specific reason for your success." ”

Li Kangping paced to the steel plate, and he said, "Professor, you see, I have replaced it with a new steel plate. ”

The professor bent over to observe the steel plate intently, and he quickly noticed the change: "You replaced the round hole with a right-angled slit. ”

"Yes, I did."

"Oh, shit, right angled slit, I should have thought of it!" The professor looked annoyed.

Li Kangping dismantled the vacuum system and said, "Also, I shortened the interval between the platinum sheets to 3.3 centimeters. ”

"Oh, you actually shortened them by 0.2 centimeters! Who will shorten them by 0.2 centimeters? You shorten them by 0.2 centimeters. ”

The professor asked, "Is that all there is to the experimental adjustments you made?" ”

Li Kangping said: "Yes, that's all. ”

"Lee, why did you suddenly think of doing this?"

"Actually, I've thought about it for a long time, I've been groping, and last night, I finally put these ideas into practice."

"No matter what, we did it!" The professor shook hands with Li Kangping.

"The pattern is a bit fuzzy, I think there is still room for adjustment on the equipment, this right-angled seam, the long side of 0.8 mm remains the same, we should adjust the wide side from 0.04 mm to 0.03 mm, maybe we can get a clearer silver layer pattern," Li suggested. ”

"Then do it, immediately, immediately!"

The master and apprentice worked together to select a new steel plate and cut a right-angle seam 0.8 mm long and 0.03 mm wide on the steel plate.

The new steel plate was installed, the experiment was started, and Professor Li Kangping looked forward to observing a clearer silver layer pattern tomorrow morning.

"Professor, I'll see you tomorrow morning, I'll go back to sleep."

"Lee, you know, just by taking this vague photograph of a silver layer pattern, we can claim that we have evidence that the silver atomic beam has a magnetic moment. You've done a great job, and we'll get a clearer pattern tomorrow morning. ”

"Why not."

"See you tomorrow morning, Mr. Miracle."

"See you tomorrow morning, Professor."

Li Kangping's body was tired, but his mood was happy.

In Li Kangping's memory, the results of the Stern-Gallach experiment were first reported in the March 1922 issue of the Journal of Physics.

Since then, German-American physicist Otto Stern has devoted himself to the study of molecular beam methods, and he has published a series of subsequent reports on his research results, which led to the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1943.

It is difficult for one person to complete this experiment, and without the full assistance of Gallacher, Otto Stern probably would not have been able to produce Nobel Prize-level scientific research results.

To be reasonable, William Woodgate, a physicist born and raised in the United States, has made a certain contribution to the space quantization experiment, and he has no credit and hard work.

The Lee-Woodgate experiment, or the Woodgate-Lee experiment, are acceptable results.

Li Kangping slept beautifully.

The battle is not over, when will the paper be published, and the battle will end in victory.

The publication of the paper should not be later than March 1922, to be precise, the sooner the better, and it is appropriate to publish the paper as soon as possible in 1921.

Early the next morning, Li Kangping came to the laboratory.

Professor Woodgate stayed up all night, and at this juncture, he did not dare to leave the laboratory.

Grunt poured a cup of black coffee, and the professor drank it while it was hot.

Li Kangping also poured a cup of coffee, and he asked, "Professor, how long will it take for the pattern to come out?" An hour or an hour and a half? ”

The professor said, "An hour." ”

After a while, Alan came.

"Oh my God, we've got the silver pattern! A silver layer pattern that matches the theory of spatial quantization! Alan was shocked, staring at the slightly blurry silver pattern.

At nine o'clock, Woodgate's team observed a clearer pattern of silver layers, again two asymmetrical bands with nothing in between.

Professor Woodgate exclaimed, "There is nothing more wonderful than her!" ”

Li Kangping nodded and said: "That's true, I think we can fix the experimental parameters, and then do it ten times in a row, and select the clearest and most convincing photo evidence to attach to the paper." ”

"Be quick." The professor instructed, and he said, "For the next week, I will keep vigil, you two will work the day shift, and Li will be in charge of the daytime work, no problem." ”

"No problem."

"Be careful with secrecy, you must keep it secret, even the frogs in the pond, you must keep it a secret from them."

Professor Woodgate repeated "confidentiality" fifteen times before leaving, leaving two of his students to look after the lab.
