"You're talking about companies that are in a recession, but big companies like Westinghouse, they have the strength." Armstrong said.

"Okay, you go negotiate with Westinghouse and see if Westinghouse will do what you want?"

Li Kangping paced around the room, he touched his super-regenerative circuit board, and he shouted: "I have a patent for ultra-regenerative radio, and my super-regenerative radio will not be inferior to your super-heterodyne radio!" ”

Armstrong's face suddenly turned ugly, and he fidgeted.

Li Kangping held up a photographic disc, and he exclaimed excitedly: "I still have a TV patent, and my live TV broadcast has been done in Missouri!" Yes, I will continue to develop color TV, sound TV! Oh, I'm so excited! Edwin, you know what, color films, sound movies haven't come out yet, and I'll be the first to launch color TV, sound TV! Hahaha! Yes, I've already started to do that! ”

"It's nothing more than your fantasy." Armstrong forced himself to appear calm.

"Fantasy? Oh, Edwin, you're outdated! You go to the camera side to see how coquettish those female stars are in front of the camera, and their coquettish pictures vividly appear on the screen of the receiving end! You don't believe it, do you? Do you need me to take you to the receiving end to enjoy their eyebrows? ”

"Lee, I mean, your black-and-white silent TV has made substantial progress, but the sound TV and color TV you mentioned are just ideas in your head."

"What's so hard about making a sounding channel? What is impossible to develop color photoelectric conversion technology? ”

"Then you go make your TV, you go play those female stars of yours! Why are you talking to me about the radio! Armstrong yelled, trying to hide his nervousness.

"Okay, let's stop talking about the radio, let's drink and smoke cigars, talk about women and boxers."

Li Kangping's conversation with Armstrong ended again in an unpleasant way.

It is difficult for an independent inventor to transform his invention patents into popular commodities, and to develop, produce and sell commodities, he needs to rely on the power of capital.

The main contradiction between inventors and capitalists is the issue of the distribution of benefits.

Armstrong was very rigid and would not assign or license his superheterodyne radio patents if he did not meet the terms of interest he proposed.

Armstrong was a World War I hero, and the capitalists had a great headache for the stubborn American veteran.

Li Kangping felt that this meeting with Armstrong was still effective.

Li Kangping mainly put pressure on Armstrong technically.

Li Kangping combined the virtual and the real to show his white technology objects and black technology ideas.

Armstrongsch was already a little flustered.

Let's let the panic of the veteran signal soldiers of the First World War brew for a while.

Seeing off his "old friend" Armstrong, Li Kangping ushered in his real old friend Arthur Compton, as well as Arthur Compton's graduate student Wu Youxun.

"Arthur, it's great to see you in New York again." Li Kangping shakes hands with Arthur Compton.

"I hope for good luck this time." Arthur Compton said, "This is my graduate student, Wu, and I think you've known each other for a long time. ”

Li Kangping and Youxun looked at each other and smiled, then shook hands and greeted each other.

Brother Youxun's hair was neatly combed to the side, he wore round glasses, and he was delicate and energetic.

Arthur Compton and Youxun stayed in the hotel, and the two of them had dinner with Li Kangping in the hotel restaurant, and after the meal, Li Kangping invited Youxun to go to the Chenbian Street apartment to talk.

"Kangping, you and Professor Compton are brothers and sisters, and the relationship is extremely familiar." Brother Youxun had noticed that the friendship between his brother and his mentor, Mr. Compton, was very strong.

"Professor Compton was a kind person, and Professor Compton's academic ideas were very much in line with mine, so I made this friend."

The experiment with the Compton effect was done by Arthur Compton at Washington University in St. Louis, and the thesis was written by Arthur Compton in his hometown of Ohio.

Arthur Compton transferred the entire equipment of the Compton Effect to the University of Chicago, where he and his student Youxun Wu continued to refine the experiment at Chiba.

Most scientists focus on only one research direction in their lifetime, and some have trained under Arthur Compton to focus on X-ray scattering.

Of course, Youxun was still very young at this time, and he still had a certain gap from the master's level.

Some brothers said that Professor Compton had a great sense of crisis, so Professor Compton wanted to further verify the X-ray scattering experiments he completed at Washington University in St. Louis, which was also the main task of Brother You's graduate students.

The further verification experiment of the Compton effect, that is, the universal experiment of the Compton effect, is a rare opportunity for Wu Youxun to receive academic training.

Li Kangping knew that even if he did not interfere, it was only a matter of time before he could successfully accomplish the academic task assigned by Professor Compton.

"If you put a mammography X-ray tube in a lead box, and some scattered materials, such as rock salt, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, sulfur, etc., can you find what Duane called a triple peak?" Li Kangping flipped through Du An's paper and communicated with Brother Youxun.

Brother Youxun thought for a moment and said, "If you find it, then Duane's experimental conclusion is valid." If it cannot be found, Duane's experimental conclusions are overturned. If it cannot be found, it needs to be verified by experiments. ”

On the topic of the Compton experiment and the Duane experiment, the two talked all night.

Two days later, the "Symposium on Quantum Theory of Light" organized by the American Academy of Sciences was held at Columbia University as scheduled.

The participants were all supporters of the quantum theory of light, and if they were not supporters, they would not be opponents. Therefore, Michelson was not on the invitation list.

The most prominent of the attendees was Robert Milligan, who had travelled from California to New York for the conference.

Robert Milligan was the first school of thought that opposed the quantum theory of light.

Recently, Robert Milligan was nominated for the 1923 Nobel Prize in Physics.

Those who are nominated do not necessarily win, but they have the opportunity to win.

Robert Milligan spent more than a decade doing photoelectric experiments, and he spent his life studying the photoelectric effect.

If Robert Milligan had won the Nobel Prize in 1923, what would he have said in his acceptance speech in Stockholm?

Ladies and gentlemen, I am Robert Milligan, and I am honored to have won the Nobel Prize in Physics, but I must state that my reason for the award, "Research Contribution to the Photoelectric Effect", was to overturn the quantum theory of light and thus prove the correctness of the classical wave theory......

Can Robert Milligan say that?

He certainly can't.

Therefore, at this time, Robert Milligan had some changes in his academic thinking, he no longer took a clear stand against the quantum theory of light, and at the same time, he did not deny the validity of the wave theory of light, he probably belonged to the neutral camp that maintained a wait-and-see attitude.
