"The Zeus Lab factory is rented, and the 80,000 square feet of land and factory belong to the New York City Commercial Bank, and Zeus Lab pays the bank rent every month."

"The 30 acres of vacant land around Zeus Lab happen to belong to RCA, and this 30 acres of vacant land was originally reserved for the spare parts warehouse of the American Marconi Company, and since the American Marconi Company no longer exists, then the 30 acres of vacant land in Queens is of little use to us for the time being."

"We will transfer these 30 acres of vacant land to Zeus Labs, encourage Zeus Labs to expand, and then give Zeus Labs hundreds of thousands of dollars, plus the $200,000 we have already invested--- which should be included in the patent buyout fee, and I think this condition is enough to satisfy K.P. Lee."

"If he's still not satisfied with such a generous offer, then I think maybe it's really time to 'deal with' him. I want to ask you, is K.P. Lee the only outstanding Asian American in the United States? ”

……

……

The more Li Kangping opened his mouth and his tougher attitude, the more RCA attached importance to Li Kangping and his TV patents.

It is said that Li Kangping's car drove to Massachusetts, which is a major and powerful province in science and education in the United States.

Cambridge is located next to Boston, a university town where Harvard University and MIT are located.

At the end of the last academic debate held at Columbia University, the leaders of the American Academy of Sciences suggested that the Duane team and the Compton team could visit each other's laboratories for further academic exchanges.

Duane and Arthur Compton did just that.

Duane and his group first visited Arthur Compton's laboratory at the University of Chicago.

Now, it's Arthur Compton's turn to take his group on a tour of Duane's Harvard laboratory.

Arthur Compton's group of scholars included Arthur Compton himself, his student Wu Youxun, his friend Li Kangping, and the head of the Munich School in Germany, Sommerfeld.

Duane is not unreasonable, after visiting Arthur Compton's laboratory, he believes that Arthur Compton's experiment is credible to a certain extent, and he thinks that the accuracy of Arthur Compton's experiment is okay, but there are still controversial points.

Let's take a look at Duane's experiment, the core of his experiment is the spectrum of cubic X-rays, but so far, Duane's Harvard team has not obtained a cubic X-ray spectrum that includes three peaks.

"The X-ray tube needs to be adjusted slightly, and then we have a good chance of getting three peaks." Duane had his academic beliefs and was tenacious in his beliefs.

Li Kangping carefully observed Duane's experimental equipment, and he remembered very little information about Duane's experiment.

Duane lost out to Arthur Compton in this scientific project, so the detailed technical information that has been handed down to the 21st century is written by Arthur Compton's group.

"I'll admit that Professor Duane's experimental design is rather subtle." Li Kangping, with a pair of vicious academic eyes, gave a preliminary judgment in a short time.

"yes, I think so too." Objective assessment by Arthur Compton. Seeing is believing, and Arthur Compton recognized Duane's experimental design to a certain extent.

If Duane's experimental design seems to be reliable, why can't Duane get three peaks?

Duane's own explanation was that there was a minor problem with the X-ray tube, which he boiled down to a problem with the parts at the practical level.

Sommerfeld squinted his eyes at the experimental equipment for a while, and said, "William, I think it's not just the X-ray tube, but you should probably also do some optimization in the capture and imaging device. ”

"Thank you for being here and for your valuable comments, and I will consider your suggestions while sticking to my original train of thought." Duane is still stubborn, but he doesn't eat oil and salt.

The X-ray tube is still improving, so Duane can't start the device today.

Arthur Compton treats his graduate student Wu Youxun quite well, and he will bring Wu Youxun to any official academic conference or unofficial academic exchange that Arthur Compton attends.

At this time, Wu Youxun's sense of existence was not high, after all, he was just an international student who had just studied for graduate school, he was unknown, he didn't speak much, he spent most of his time observing and listening.

This kind of academic exchange is very good, and the two sides visit each other's laboratories in the spirit of seeking common ground while reserving differences, which is far more effective than arguing in the conference room.

"Seeking commonality" is the quantum theory of light, and Arthur Compton, Duane, Li Kangping, and Sommerfeld all support the quantum theory of light.

"Differences" are the differences in the experiments of Arthur Compton and Duane's two teams.

There was a high degree of agreement on strategy, what remained was a matter of tactics. The so-called tactical problem, to put it bluntly, is the academic reputation battle between Arthur Compton and Duane.

Li Kangping stayed at Harvard for a few days, and he visited Ye Qisun.

Ye Qisun's master's supervisor was Duane, who used X-ray methods to measure the latest Planck constant under Duane's guidance. At present, physicists all over the world use Duane and Ye Qisun's version of Planck's constant.

After graduating with a master's degree in 1921, Ye Qisun no longer followed Duane, but worshipped P.W. Bridgeman as his doctoral supervisor.

P.W. Bridgeman is the world's first person in high-pressure physics, and Ye Qisun's doctoral research direction is mainly in high-pressure physics.

Ye Qisun did not participate in this three-ray X-ray experiment done by Duan, he knew that Duane was doing this experiment, but he did not know the specific details.

In general, Ye Qisun is grateful to Duane for carefully guiding him, and Ye Qisun's extremely strong experimental ability was trained during the period when he studied under Duane.

Duane likes Ye Qisun very much, and he hopes that Ye Qisun will stay at Harvard after graduation.

Ye Qisun's attitude was the same as that of his senior brother Hu Gangfu.

Hu Gangfu's doctoral student also studied at Harvard, where he also studied under Duane.

A few years ago, Du Ane tried his best to keep Hu Gangfu, and Mr. Hu resolutely returned to China, opened up land in Nanjing, and contributed to the cause of physics in China.

Mr. Ye has begun drafting his doctoral dissertation, and he expects to receive his Ph.D. from Harvard this year.

"Therefore, Brother Qisun will return to China this year?" Li Kangping asked.

Brother Qisun said: "It should be so. ”

"I am currently working on Atomic Physics in Mandarin and have not yet finished it. Before Brother Qisun returns to China, please be sure to go to New York to meet me. ”

"Atomic Physics?"

Brother Qisun agreed, saying that after he received his doctorate and before returning to China, he would definitely go to New York to meet Kangping.

Ye Qisun has made plans to return to China.

Some jobs need to be handed over in advance.

In 1915, Ren Hongjun, Zhao Yuanren, Hu Mingfu and other students studying in the United States founded the China Science Society at Cornell University.

The China Science Society is modeled after the American Association for the Advancement of Science, which is a private academic society with a limited liability company.

In 1918, Mr. Ren Hongjun and others returned to China, and the headquarters of the China Science Society was moved from the United States to Nanjing, and a branch was opened in Shanghai two years later.

In cooperation with the Commercial Press, the China Science Society publishes the Chinese editions of Science, Science Illustrated and other academic journals in China, and the society has now become the most authoritative and influential academic society in China.

In fact, although "Science" and "Science Illustrated" are defined as academic journals, they are more inclined to popular science reading.

If Chinese scientists want to publish purely academic articles, they still have to submit their papers to academic journals in Europe and the United States.

The Beiyang government does not have a special institution for academic research and science popularization, and the private China Science Society is similar to the Royal Society of the United Kingdom in China, and the China Science Society is basically responsible for China's local scientific affairs.

The headquarters of the China Science Society was moved to China, and the original American headquarters was renamed the "China Science Society in the United States", and Ye Qisun was appointed as the president of the American branch.

Ye Qisun is about to return to China, and he feels that Li Kangping is the most suitable successor to the president of the American branch.
