Chapter 126: The Night Banquet II
Hearing William's invitation to the dinner in public, the crown prince and his wife glanced at each other, and immediately sensed from each other's eyes that this was a self-assertive invitation from the eldest son, and the crown prince just wanted to say something, but was stopped by Princess Victoria's gaze.
The crown princess raised the coffee cup in front of her and nodded at everyone with a smile, "Yes, I hope you must enjoy the light and attend Prince William's dinner by then." ”
Hearing his mother's posthumous acknowledgment of William's own assertion, Joey also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with half a complaint in his heart, "Why are you in such a hurry about the things that were just discussed the night before yesterday, at least you have to discuss it with your parents first." Fortunately, Mom helped you cover up. ”
"Inviting Sergei, the God of Wealth, to the dinner party can't be too casual, I need to plan it well..... This takes time, but fortunately, the old prime minister has a lot to talk about with the Russians, and the most important thing to lack now is time, and what is lacking is preparation. ”
"After breakfast, I'm going to talk to Willie about how to arrange this dinner."
After breakfast, Joey grabbed William and asked straight to the point, "Willy, what theme are you preparing for this dinner, a youth or an old-school party?" Also, who are you going to invite, a party between acquaintances or a party for everyone? ”
Looking at William, who was stunned by his own question, Joey smiled, "Willie, you think about it first, and then we will discuss what to do, I will go to school first." ”
"Mom!" Joey shouted, "Today after school, I am going to go to the University of Berlin in the afternoon with Mr. Parsons, the president of the Royal Society of Thermodynamics, Professor Clausius has returned from England, we are going to meet him, and Professor Roentgen is also looking for me, if you agree, I think dinner will be settled at the University of Berlin." ”
The crown princess knew that her mother, Queen Victoria, had prepared for herself, and that the most luxurious scientific delegation in the history of the British Empire was about to visit Germany, and Professor Clausius, as the most famous German professor in the Royal Society, returned home in advance to make a preliminary investigation for the British delegation.
As the son of his personal representative in the scientific community, it was only natural for Joey to visit this famous figure, so the crown princess waved at his youngest son, indicating that he knew.
"Jojo, how about we discuss what you just said in the evening?" William asked anxiously.
"Willy, I'll look for you when I get back." Joey promised.
After school at noon, when Joey's friends knew that Joy was going to the University of Berlin and was on business on behalf of the Victoria Foundation, they all said that as the backbone members of the Victoria Foundation, it was very necessary to go together, on the one hand, to familiarize themselves with their own work, and on the other hand, to broaden their horizons.
"Ginter, William, have you taken a leave of absence from your family? If you suddenly go out with me, you won't be told by your family, right? Joey asked, not worried.
Ginter and William suddenly laughed after looking at each other, William looked at the dazed Joey and smiled, "Jojo, do you know, yesterday you invited us to participate in the crown princess's foundation, after I told my father about this, I have never seen my father so happy." ”
"Now my father tells me that the work of the Foundation takes precedence, and that what I do to help with the family company three days a week can also give way to my work at the Foundation!"
Ginter patted Joey's shoulder hard and smiled, "Jojo, I'm the same, so we have to participate in such an important Foundation work today!" ”
Stallin suddenly interjected, "I know that Joey is a fool who is blindly worried, he is now afraid of being grounded, and he has to ask his mother for everything, and he is worried that you will be grounded if you come out without asking." ”
"No, Jojo. The last time we had a group fight, my father wanted to teach me a lesson, but when I heard me say that His Majesty the Emperor said that we had fought well, he actually made an exception and allowed me to sleep an hour late, and now I want to find such an opportunity to fight again, so as to get His Majesty's praise. When he said what he was happy about, William's face lit up.
"William, His Majesty the Emperor is praising us for daring to stand up for our friends who have been hurt, and for daring not to be afraid of the overwhelming number of opponents, but not to encourage us to provoke everywhere, you have to distinguish the occasion." Ginter looked at Joey with an embarrassed face, and quickly explained for Joey.
Stallin interjected with a worried face, "I'll just say, it's normal for German boys to fight, it's just that they have to be grounded for a few days at most, I haven't seen a month's imprisonment, such an excessive request, my grandfather actually agreed, and my parents didn't intercede for me, really..."
"You're a ghost!" Joey kicked Storin in the ass and ran to the carriage laughing.
Then, Dreyer, Ginter, and William all kicked Storling in the ass in succession, and also ran to the carriage laughing loudly, and the series of attacks of the dead friends made Storling furious, and immediately chased after him with teeth and claws.
The University of Berlin, like the Imperial Palace, is located on Unter den Linden, and is only a small generation compared to the University of Bologna (the world's first university), the University of Paris, Oxford, and Cambridge, but in the international higher education world, the University of Berlin is well-known and recognized as the mother of modern universities.
For example, everyone knows the origin of Tsinghua University, and the shaping of Peking University, or the Peking University shaped by Mr. Cai Yuanpei, is based on the concept of the University of Berlin.
Of course, the University of Berlin now has a more formal name, Frederick Wilhelm University, in honor of the famous Frederick Wilhelm III of the Hohan Sauron family, the Prussian king who fought against the great Napoleon the Great all his life, repeatedly defeated and finally won.
The University of Berlin uses the name of Frederick Wilhelm, of course, not to commemorate the powerful "civil martial arts" of Joey, an ancestor, but to commemorate a truth told by the Prussian king:
"The country must use its spiritual strength to compensate for its material losses. It is precisely because of poverty that education is necessary. I have never heard of a country that is poor and ruined because of education. Far from impoverishing the country, education is the best means of escaping poverty. ”
At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, when Germany was the center of science and education in the world, the German university system was known as the "jewel in the crown of the empire", and the University of Berlin, founded by Count Humboldt, was the king of the jewels in the crown of the empire.
Unfortunately, after 1945, the great University of Berlin was divided into Humboldt-Universität Berlin and Freie Universität Berlin. Looking at the solemn statue of Count Humboldt standing in front of the University of Berlin, Joey couldn't help but feel disgusted with the mustache again, "Catholic Austrians must not be allowed to destroy Protestant Prussia!" Something must be done to strengthen the power of Protestantism! ”
When he was introduced to the conference room of the University of Berlin, Joey was immediately greeted by a large number of scientists, starting with the great Professor Helmholtz, followed by Professor Kirchhoff, Professor Mach, Professor Bunsen, Professor Beyer, Professor Kekuler, Professor Gibbs, Professor Hostmann, and Professor Wühler, who had just returned from the Duchy of Anhalt.
And, of course, the one I want to meet today, Professor Clausius on behalf of the Royal Academy of Sciences.
When Joey first met Professor Clausius at the Science Salon in early April, he only knew that Professor Clausius was a close friend of Professor Helmholtz and a professor with great knowledge in thermodynamics, but with the subsequent contact at the Science Salon, he knew that Professor Clausius's status in thermodynamics must also be called great.
The thermodynamic unit of "entropy" was coined by Professor Clausius and has since become the most important unit of expression in quantum mechanics. On the wall of the University of Bonn, where Professor Clausius now works, there are two famous phrases that "the energy of the universe is constant" and "the entropy of the universe tends to a maximum" from Professor Clausius's opinion in 1865.
In other words, Joey's favorite way of saying it is that the heat exchange cycle of the famous air-conditioned ammonia compressor, the famous Otto cycle of gasoline engines, the famous Rankine cycle of steam turbines, the famous Sabad cycle of internal combustion engines, and the Brandon cycle of gas turbines all follow the second law of thermodynamics of Professor Clausius.
In other words, Professor Clausius studied all the above thermodynamic cycle theories during his lifetime and wrote theoretical research papers. Professor Clausius is such a great god in the field of thermodynamics, and he is also the first time that a German has become president of the Royal Society of the United Kingdom with extraordinary ability.
When Mr. Parsons had no clue about his steam turbine research and the power module in Joey's shipbuilding plan was seriously behind schedule, Joey had no choice but to take the opportunity of Professor Clausius's return to China to allow Mr. Parsons to accept Professor Clausius's academic guidance in person.
Seeing Joey and these Germans embracing the most famous lights of science and technology so warmly and cordially, it was not only Mr. Parsons who were frightened, but also Joey's close friends.
Joey's sworn friends never felt so constrained, and German children were taught from an early age that in addition to respecting God, they also needed to respect authority, especially academic authority.
Stallin muttered quietly, "Well, I'll never call Jojo the braggart again....."
Raeder, Ginter, and William nodded in agreement.
Mr. Parsons was really frightened, Professor Clausius was the teacher of the professors of the Cambridge Department of Thermodynamics, that is, the teacher of Mr. Parsons. Mr. Parsons' relationship with Professor Clausius at Cambridge was that he knew Professor Clausius and Professor Clausius did not know him.
Originally, when Joey was dissatisfied with the slow speed of his research on the power of the Love Boat, Mr. Parsons also said that his achievements in the field of thermodynamics were already at the forefront of the world.
When Joy retorted that he knew Professor Clausius far beyond his level, Mr. Parsons said out of pride that he would never believe that Joey knew Professor Clausius, and that if Joy could introduce himself to Professor Clausius, then he could guarantee that he would speed up the progress of the Power Project of the Love Boat.
Unexpectedly, Joey really knew Mr. Clausius, and was so familiar, watching Joey beckoning to him vigorously beside Professor Clausius, Mr. Parsons walked over so stiffly, and everything after that really opened the door to the world of thermodynamic power in front of Mr. Parsons.
"Hehe, I not only saved a love, but also gave wings to the German Royal Navy, and after having a strong heart, a brick can fly into the sky!" Joey thought triumphantly.
"Hey, moving bricks and flying into the sky, this sentence seems to describe the airplane........"
