"In July, the hottest day of the year, we go to our summer homes in the Adirondack Heights." "APS holds an annual convention every year, and this year's annual meeting is scheduled at the Adirondack Heights Summer Estate. And you're going to be traveling with me to the Adirondack Heights in July, so I've asked you to bring twenty copies of "The Theory of Quantization of Space Verified by the Silver Atomic Beam," so the papers of the Harvard physics team and other physics teams appeared in my study. I say that, can you understand? ”

The APS Annual Meeting is the equivalent of the "Solvay Conference" in the United States.

The reason for the quotation marks here is that there is a certain difference in the grade and influence of the "Solvay Conference" in the United States and the real Solvay Conference.

However, the APS Annual Meeting is the most academic physics annual meeting in the United States, and cats and dogs are not eligible to participate in the APS Annual Meeting, and only APS members and physicists who have recently produced significant research results are eligible to participate in the APS Annual Meeting.

Before the meeting, you should show your unpublished research to APS members in the relevant research area.

As a result, Professor Woodgate received a copy of the Harvard physics team's paper "Redetermination of Planck's Constant by X-ray Method" in advance.

Similarly, a copy of Columbia's Woodgate team's "Silver Atomic Beam Verified Space Quantization Theory" will also be sent to 20 APS members for review in advance.

"Re-determination of Planck's Constant by X-ray Method", "Silver Atomic Beam Verification of Space Quantization Theory" and a number of other papers are not currently published, what if you copy my unpublished paper and publish it before me?

First of all, no one dares to do that. If you are found to have academic plagiarism, then you don't want to mix in the American academic community for the rest of your life, not only will you not be able to mix with the academic community, but you will also be pulled into a permanent blacklist in the industrial application community.

Secondly, the unpublished papers are all filed at the APS headquarters before they are handed over to APS members, and there are people at the headquarters who are staring at them and cannot copy them.

"Got it, thank you professor for taking me to the APS Annual Meeting."

Professor Woodgate is both a researcher and a reviewer. Li Kangping's identity is a researcher, and he only needs to get his "Silver Atomic Beam Verification Space Quantization Theory" to the fullest.

"Li, you can make some business cards. You're probably going to meet a lot of people at the convention, so it's better if you bring your business card with you. ”

"Okay professor, I'll do it."

"Lee, if you plan to continue your Ph.D. in physics at Columbia University's graduate school, then the mailing address on your business card could be written to Columbia University Hertley Building."

"No problem, just write Hertley House."

"Lee, since you will be staying in the Hertley Building, then your title should be Experimental Assistant in the Department of Physics of the Columbia Research Institute."

"Experimental assistant in the physics department of Columbia University Research Institute, sounds good."

The professor's arrangement is clear, and Li Kangping does it.

Jingle bells.

A crisp bell rang into the study, and the black maid downstairs rang the bell to remind the man upstairs that it was time to eat.

Professor Woodgate and Li Kangping went downstairs to the dining room and took their seats.

"Thank the Lord for giving us such abundant food, and for all that Jesus has given for the peace and joy we have today, and we will inherit Jesus' teachings to love our neighbor as ourselves and to be tolerant of others, so that our brothers and sisters may be in peace and joy, so that we may continue to be free in the great love of the Lord, Amen."

"Amen."

The Woodgate family of four religiously performed the prayer of thanksgiving.

Li Kangping is not a Christian, he does not have to pray, what he needs to do is to maintain a solemn and respectful posture, and fully respect the religious beliefs of the professor and his family.

At the end of the prayer service, the crowd starts their knives and forks, and they enjoy spiced ham, roast chicken, and colorful salads, and adults drink brandy and minors drink juice.

Alcock and Brown accomplished a feat when they flew across the Atlantic without pause. Although this was news two years ago, William and Elizabeth Jr. never got tired of hearing the story of the aviator, so Professor Woodgate told the story of the American aviator again at the dinner table.

After the children left the stage, the three adults talked about topics that were closer to the current state of American society.

"The United States is no longer a free nation in the traditional sense, freedom is increasingly becoming a rhetorical symbol, and I dare say that no rational citizen is free to express his honest beliefs. If a person is interested in all the social and political problems of his country, and wants to maintain his freedom of expression, his only way is to choose a criminal gang that is most sympathetic to him, and then hide under the protection of this gang and tolerate all this. "Professor Woodgate never said that in his office, in his lab, that home is home because we can do anything and say anything in our own home.

The American intellectuals who fought the resistance were never an organized group, and even if they agreed to organize, they certainly disagreed on how they should be organized. They are all individualists.

After Li Kangping left Woodgate House, he found an advertising agency to make two kinds of business cards.

One is Mr. K.P. Lee, a physics experiment assistant at Columbia University's graduate school, whose mailing address is Columbia University's Hertley Building.

The other is Mr. K.P. Lee, President of Zeus Corporation in Manhattan, whose mailing address is the King Building, East Harlem, New York City.

Attending the APS annual meeting, Li Kangping brought the business card of Columbia's experimental assistant.

In early July, Professor Woodgate drove his new Dodge car north with Lee Kangping.

As the terrain grew, the two came to the Adirondack Heights in northeastern New York State, where the altitude is 5,000 feet above sea level, and the temperature is much cooler than the bottom of the mountain.

The Kidford Estate in the Adirondack Heights is 300 acres and is about the size of Columbia University.

After the attendees of this year's APS Annual Meeting were held at the Kidford Manor, and before the meeting officially began, the owner of the Kidford Estate, Mr. Walter Kifford, hosted a grand reception to welcome some of America's most eminent physicists, or potentially future eminent physicists, to the Cottage.

Food is needed to fight wars, and the original intention of Prohibition was to save food. But after the end of World War I, the United States, which was not so short of food, introduced a ban on alcohol. Prohibition in the United States is virtually nonexistent, and after the prohibition was introduced, the number of people drinking alcohol in the United States has not decreased.

Li Kangping held a wine glass and shuttled through the crowd.

"Hey, Professor Compton!"

"Hey, Lee!"

Li Kangping met Arthur Compton at the reception, and of course he would meet Arthur Compton, because Arthur Compton would definitely be here.
