Professor Woodgate said, "Lee, my original plan was to recruit a master's degree lab assistant, but the experiment blueprint you gave me that day changed my decision, so you joined my team and showed up here. ”

"Thank you, Professor, for your trust." Li Kangping said sincerely, and he added: "But I haven't seen liquid air and semicircular electromagnets for cooling here. Professor, did you hide them? ”

"Looks like you're more anxious than I am." Professor Woodgate laughed, "Orne Corporation in Illinois and Sindra Corporation in Michigan are generous companies that are willing to donate liquid air and semi-circular solenoids, and we will get liquid air and semi-circular solenoids within this week." In particular, thanks to Orn, who not only donated the air liquide unit, but also provided $2,000 in funding. ”

Columbia University provided experimental sites free of charge, but Professor Woodgate needed to find his own way for the experimental funds and experimental equipment.

Professor Woodgate's research projects are similar to the nature of self-financing, he solicits his own sponsorship, and if he produces scientific research results, he has the right to control the results, and Columbia University does not interfere with Professor Woodgate's rights.

Once the results of the space quantization verification experiment are produced, its academic value is very high, and it is related to the development prospect of quantum theory.

But the project has little commercial value, and it will be difficult for Orn, Sindra, or whatever to quantize space into a military or civilian commodity.

Professor Woodgate wrote to the two companies last week, and they said that they had already shipped the liquid air device and the semi-circular solenoids to the lab in a few days.

Li Kangping first wanted to focus on theoretical physics, but after experiencing some things himself, he temporarily changed his academic path.

Why did Bohr and Sommerfeld throw out the theory of space quantization, and Professor Woodgate went all over and tried to prove the theory of space quantization?

Because they are the famous Bohr and Sommerfeld.

Before you became famous, it was very difficult for you to make a name for yourself in the United States with theoretical physics.

Therefore, Li Kangping defected to Professor Woodgate, and he will use all his skills to make the space quantization verification experiment beautiful.

Although American physicists attach great importance to experiments, it is difficult for experimental physicists who do not understand theory to make achievements.

Professor Woodgate could not create a completely new theory, he could understand the theories that already existed, had no obvious loopholes, and had not been proven or disproved. That's enough for experimental physicists.

Columbia's undergraduate curriculum does not include quantum theory, and Allen is a rookie in quantum theory. That's why Professor Woodgate wanted to recruit a lab assistant who had graduated with a master's degree.

Li Kangping published "Black-body Radiation and Light Quantum" and drew the experimental design of spatial quantization, so he is not a rookie. Professor Woodgate thinks so.

"We still have a few days to spare before the equipment is in place. Lee, you can listen to my lectures or not. Professor Woodgate said.

"Professor, Alan, I'd like to use these few days to take care of a little bit of personal matters."

"Then you go."

"Goodbye."

Li Kangping left the laboratory, and Allen stayed in the laboratory to learn the theoretical knowledge of quantum theory. Alan is blessed to enjoy one-on-one lessons from his professors, a precious learning opportunity that is not available to everyone.

Li Kangping did have a personal matter to deal with, he changed into banquet clothes, and drove Brother Debang, Brother Yue Lin, and Zhao Jun to Long Island.

"I only know at this time that Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhou have a very good relationship." Brother Yue Lin said.

Although you are in the United States, you are always concerned about the domestic situation.

The current government of Beijing is under the co-administration of Zhifeng, Mr. Zhongshan established the government of Guangzhou in the south, and the banner of the Northern Expedition has been raised.

Mr. Hu was a prominent member of the Canton government, and he went to the United States with a major mission, completing part of his assignment in San Francisco, and now coming to New York to follow up on the rest.

Mr. Zhou suggested that all the members of the New York Chinese Scholars Association go to Mr. Strauss's residence on Long Island today, so Li Kangping, Brother Debang, Brother Yue Lin, and Zhao Jun appeared on Long Island.

Mr. Strauss's mansion is a villa built in the style of King George's colonial rule, and it is really wronged to say that the villa is more like a castle.

Facing the sea, Shich's Castle overlooks the bay, and the grass is paved from the beach to the front door for a quarter of a mile. Led by a French butler, Li Kangping and his men walked through sundials, brick paths, and half-acres of rose gardens, and as they approached the castle, they saw a stream of green vines floating along the wall, and a row of tall floor-to-ceiling windows in front of the house, reflecting the golden light, open to welcome the warm spring breeze.

How rich is it to be able to afford to live in such a house? Li Kangping said secretly.

There are dozens of servants in Strauss House, and the servants decorate the large garden with hundreds of feet of tarpaulins and a large number of colored lights, and the buffet tables are filled with all kinds of cold cuts and all kinds of drinks.

In the evening, the orchestra began to play, not a small five-piece band with only five instruments, but a large band of trombone, saxophone, oboe, cello, violin, cornet, flute, and bass drums.

The guests and hosts were seated, and a grand social event was staged.

Mr. Zhou invited Mr. Hu to the banquet, and the social venue was provided by Mr. Strauss. It is not difficult to observe that the friendship between Mr. Strauss and his Chinese friends is by no means an ordinary friendship.

All the members of the New York Chinese Alumni Association arrived, and Mr. Zhou introduced the young students to Mr. Hu one by one.

"Zhao Changrui has seen Mr. Hu." Zhao Jun, whose full name is Zhao Changrui, said that he joined the Xinchao Society when he was a student at Peking University, and participated in the May Fourth Movement along with Fu Sinian, Luo Jialun, and the rest of the Xinchao Society.

Fu Sinian and Luo Jialun went to study abroad after the May Fourth Movement, and the Xinchao Society is now under the charge of Zhou Zuoren, which is still the main force of the New Culture Movement.

The May Fourth Movement in the narrow sense refers to the patriotic movement organized by students in Beijing from May 4 ~ June 28, 1919, and the spirit of May Fourth in a broad sense continues to this day.

Lu Xun, Qian Xuantong, and Liu Bannong's "New Youth" is in full swing.

The "Juvenile China Society" has developed and grown.

The "Peking University Philosophy Research Society" led by Hu Shi and Ma Xulun tried to explain China's current situation and future from a philosophical perspective.

Peking University President Cai Yuanpei is also the president of the "Peking University Journalism Research Association", and President Cai and Shao Piaoping use the field of journalism as a battlefield to call for "inclusiveness" across the country.

There is also the "National Ancient Society" initiated by Liu Shipei and Liang Shuming, which is the inherent scholarship of China.

Today's Peking University can be described as the cultural center and ideological center of China, and President Cai advocates and implements "inclusiveness", and the old and new schools coexist in Peking University.

The struggle between the Xinchao Society and the Guoguo Society was the most intense, and the main editorial staff of the two societies were all based in the Red Mansion of Beidatan, and the two sides often ridiculed each other, and the pen was against each other. There are even people who bring knives to work just in case.

Mr. Hu briefly mentioned the latest situation in China, and he knew that these Chinese students were concerned about the domestic situation day and night.

"The dispute between the old and the new, the debate of ideas, a thousand ways and ten thousand, the principle of the Three People's Principles is unshakable." Mr. Hu said.

"Mr. Hu's teachings are remembered by the students." Some students were emotional, some were thoughtful, and some were silent.

Subsequently, Mr. Zhou, Mr. Hu and Mr. Strauss entered the room together, and the guests moved freely, used communication methods, and carried out social interactions.

The guests were not just Chinese, and Li Kangping saw a mahjong table set up in the garden, and four white people were playing mahjong.

Mahjong gradually became a part of the entertainment of the upper class party, and Li Kangping paced to the mahjong table to watch them play mahjong.

This is a pair of ivory mahjong, and the White Brothers Mahjong Club sells it for $500. A certain gentleman who plays mahjong is very familiar, isn't this Jack?

Jack bought a pair of ivory mahjong at the club that day, and he said that his friends on Long Island would love it. So Jack's friend on Long Island was Mr. Strauss?

"Flush, huh!" Jack laughs and writes a "28" on the scoreboard.

"Jack, you actually listened to eighty thousand!" A lady at the table was very depressed, and it was she who played an eighty thousand to help Jack win the hand.

"Jack, good luck." Li Kangping, who watched the cards, said.

"Hi Lee, you're here too!" Jack was a little surprised, and then he said loudly: "Do you know that our mahjong scoring rules were invented by Mr. Li!" ”
