Professor Woodgate said triumphantly and jubilantly, "Oh, Lee, should I say you're welcome?" Yes, you're welcome! ”

As a mentor and initiator and collaborator of the space quantization experiment, Professor Woodgate's academic reputation has also been greatly enhanced in the American academic community.

Against this backdrop, the relationship between Professor Woodgate and Li Kangping became more and more harmonious.

"This semester, I will be teaching classical mechanics at Columbia College, which will of course take up some of my energy and time. Li, I will not shoehorn you into one or several doctoral projects, you have absolute academic freedom, you can take the initiative to choose the doctoral project you want to do, and then go and complete it. Professor Woodgate said kindly.

Absolute academic freedom, choosing the doctoral topic as he pleases, this is exactly what Li Kangping wants.

Li Kangping said: "Professor, I haven't thought about the specific topic yet, and I will tell you as soon as I have a preliminary plan." ”

"Don't be in a hurry, think more, think seriously. We all know that getting a PhD is not so easy to do. ”

Professor Woodgate is a pragmatic and objective man, as well as a man who rewards merit and deeds.

The rule in academia is that if you do something on your own, then the research should belong to you.

For example, the special theory of relativity, this great scientific achievement was completed by Einstein alone, and there is not a single citation in Einstein's special relativity paper.

Before the birth of the special theory of relativity, physicists such as Lorenz and Poincaré had already made great academic contributions in this area, especially Poincaré, who almost completed the French version of the theory of relativity, and made many public lectures and published papers.

Einstein's special theory of relativity, without a single citation, is a debatable operation.

But it is undeniable that the results of the special theory of relativity were enjoyed exclusively by Einstein, and there was not much of a problem.

Study theoretical physics, and having too many teammates can affect your performance.

Theoretical physicists are doomed to be alone.

This is not the case with experimental physics, where few experimental physicists are able to perform an outstanding experiment on their own.

Woodgate, Li Kangping, and Allen participated in the space quantization experiment, and Professor Woodgate believes that he and Li Kangping contributed 99% to the experiment, and the remaining 1% belonged to Allen.

The 1% contribution was not enough for Allen's name to appear in the paper "Silver Atomic Beam Method Verification of Space Quantization Theory", and not enough for Allen to obtain a master's degree.

So Alan went on to pursue a master's degree. No circle is fairer than the academic one.

Today is the gathering day of the New York Chinese Alumni Association, and Li Kangping left the laboratory and walked towards the dormitory building.

It is reported that a new batch of Chinese students studying in the United States have arrived in New York, and as an old member of the New York Chinese Scholars Association and an old student of Columbia University, Li Kangping should get to know the new students.

On the way back to the dormitory, Li Kangping met a Chinese classmate, Zhao Changrui.

"Brother Changrui, go to 43rd Street together?

"Very good.

The two traveled together, and Li Kangping drove Zhao Changrui away from the Columbia campus.

Zhao Changrui was arrested in March this year for participating in illegal activities, but fortunately Mr. Zhou and Strauss rescued him, and finally escaped safely without danger.

Today's United States blows several monsoons a year, with a "red alert wind" blowing in the first half of the year and a "black threat wind" blowing in the second half of the year.

The vigilance of the red banner and the rejection and suppression of the Bolsheviks caused a stir in the United States in the first half of the year.

Flipping to the second half of 1921, the Americans found that the Bolsheviks originated in Europe and established power in Europe, but Europe was not completely red, and the mainstream society in Europe was always what it should be, and Europe did not change essentially.

Since mainstream European society is still the same, the United States should not worry too much.

The attitude of the United States towards the Bolsheviks evolved into one eye and one eye closed.

Some Bolshevik activities were carried out in a semi-open and semi-covert manner, and in the last two months, there seems to have been no news of the arrest of Bolsheviks in New York City or New York State.

However, the frequent outbreaks of black human rights movements have aroused a high degree of vigilance and concern among white Americans.

In the eyes of white Americans, blacks had a far greater impact on Western civilization than the Bolsheviks.

As soon as the car drove out of the campus of Columbia University, without any warning, Zhao Changrui suddenly shouted excitedly: "What I am not satisfied with is that at this juncture when foreign insults are deepening and people's livelihood is becoming more and more miserable, the fighters who have led the May Fourth Movement vigorously do not continue to attack the main causes of our suffering, but only confine themselves to those insignificant objects to compete, scatter the consciousness of the broad masses of the people into sand, and avoid the coercive objects of the warlords and foreign powers who are fighting to destroy China. Dig your head into the battle of doctrines! Kangping, this is really the trend that we should cry for! ”

Crunch!

Li Kangping was very surprised, his hand holding the steering wheel was crooked, and he almost hit a pedestrian.

"Oh, shit! I'm sorry! Are you alright, sir! ”

Li Kangping braked suddenly, his head poked out of the window, and asked the passer-by worriedly.

"Oh my God, you almost hit me! Tell me if you can drive! ”

Mr. Passerby scolded in annoyance, he should be angry, he has a reason to scold.

"Sorry, very sorry! For this $10, you can use it to buy a new dress, and it will be my compensation for your clothes and mental health! ”

"Look, look, this Oriental man is a beggar to me! He said words we didn't understand, mental health? Yes, my mental health has taken a hit! ”

Mr. Passer-by, in rags, is not a beggar, he may be a vagrant, an unemployed, a drug abuser, or a drunkard.

Mr. Extremely unhappy passer-by took Li Kangping's $10 bill as a matter of course.

Li Kangping started the car and hurriedly drove away.

Driving away from the accident-prone area, Li Kangping asked suspiciously: "Brother Changrui, why did you say this?" ”

"Save! National independence! If we do not overthrow the warlords and overthrow imperialism and the joint rule of feudalism and bureaucratic capitalism, which is the base and foundation of imperialism, there will be no way to talk about all construction, and enlightenment and the development of culture and education will only be empty talk! Zhao Changrui was still excited, and his eyes burned with fighting spirit.

Zhao Changrui, a master's student, studied education, and he is not an educator at this stage, but he can be regarded as an educator reserve.

Li Kangping slowed down the car, on the one hand, to ensure safe driving, and on the other hand, he wanted to talk to Brother Changrui alone.
