Section 301 Tsinghua [II]
When Qin Lang decided to establish a comprehensive university, he had already written a letter to be sent to Pierre. Curie and Marie. Curie's letter. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
A text message is as simple as using only one piece of paper. Considering that the Curies did not know him, this was the only appropriate thing to do, and Qin Lang was familiar with it—it was through a text message in 1894 that he aroused Morgan's interest in him, and so that a Chinese businessman who had just entered the arms industry gradually became an important figure in Wall Street and Washington.
Just through a text message.
Now, Qin Lang wanted to repeat his successful experience, and he knew that he would definitely succeed. Qin Lang is not a fool with arrogance, but as long as he thinks about what he wrote in the letter, his self-confidence can be easily understood.
Radioactivity and half-life are obviously of great importance to two young scholars who are trying to extract radioactive material from asphalt slag. Of course, scientists have long discovered radioactivity, but the half-life, which is Ernest . Rutherford's unattained research results......
Of course, it may seem a bit unfair to the three scientists to tell the Curies about the results that Rutherford has not yet achieved, but what can they say? In fact, they should be grateful to Qin Lang...... It's excessive, it's disgusting, but it's also true to some extent: the three scientists should be grateful to Qin Lang for not telling Elizabeth all the results of their research.
It's a no-brainer, and it can be done "carelessly...... In fact, on several occasions, due to a momentary inadvertentness, he mentioned the theory of atomic structure and atomic orbitals in front of her, but Miss Daubers, who was focused on inorganic and organic chemistry, did not pay attention.
It's a thankful thing. Qin Lang was very happy to see that he still had enough knowledge to leak to the scientists of this era; Of course, even if he had told Elizabeth all the important things and she remembered them all well, there would be some minor information to take advantage of.
For example, the correct way to refine polonium and radium. Fortunately, it was knowledge of chemistry and not physics, so he knew it, albeit in less detail; And as part of the bait, Qin Lang also briefly mentioned a little bit of relevant information in his text message, so he was confident that he would attract the two Nobel laureates to his Tsinghua University.
There are other Nobel laureates.
Qin Lang smiled with satisfaction—in his stomach. Outwardly, he was still calm and smiling, but a little careless, as if Elizabeth had told him a very ordinary piece of good news that would make him happy, but not enough to make him ecstatic.
He called in a special agent of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. "As soon as the train arrives at the next station, send a telegram to my secretary, Mademoiselle Ross, asking her to send the letter No. 0506 to Madame Marie Curie of the University of Paris, France."
"Yes, boss." The agent replied, turning to leave the car. When Qin Lang withdrew his gaze from him and turned to Elizabeth, who was sitting opposite, he saw a somewhat surprised expression.
"You've already written the letter?" She was surprised.
"You know, I always do everything I need to do before I get started." He replied, picking up his cup and drinking all the Coca-Cola that had been completely diluted by melted ice and had lost most of its gas. "Be prepared, Elizabeth."
Elizabeth shrugged her shoulders: I am afraid that no one would write and number the letters like him, and then lock them in the filing cabinet until a few months later before sending them, and judging by the numbering, he did not just write a letter.
She didn't really care about that, though. Everyone has their own habits, good, bad, ordinary, unique...... There is no need to pursue. Compared to how many letters he had prepared, Elizabeth was more concerned about what Qin Lang wrote in the letters.
It was her occupational disease.
"You're giving Mary. What is written in Curie and her husband's letter, Qin? ”
"Some of the issues they care about." Qin Lang poured himself another cup of Coke, added ice cubes, and said while shaking the cup: "About how to extract radium ...... from asphalt slag" Then he realized that he was talking too much, but fortunately there was room to make up for it," ...... Radioactive material. ”
Thanks Mary. Curie, thanks to her for naming the radioactive material she found "radium" and nothing else.
She didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, as she was acting very abnormally herself. "Radioactive materials? You mean uranium? ”
Uranium is an element that has been discovered in 1789. Heinrich. Claprott isolated uranium dioxide from bituminous uranium ore, and in 1841, Eugene Brown. Melchior. Peligott made uranium metal, and then just last year, Anthony Brown. Henry. Becquerel stumbled upon the radioactivity of uranium - but until the discovery of the nuclear fission of uranium in the thirties of the twentieth century, the metal's sole role was as a pigment for glass dyeing and as a ceramic glaze.
But what made Qin Lang feel strange was that Elizabeth actually knew that uranium was radioactive. In his memory, Becquerel's discovery had not yet caused a sensation, and this was the United States, not France on the other side of the Atlantic...... Oh, my God!
Qin Lang finally remembered why Elizabeth knew: he said it himself!
He really, really talks too much, it's terrible, and if you don't pay attention, you'll have fun in the future.
While feeling a headache for his mistake, Qin Lang shook his head at the same time. "It's not uranium, it's something more radioactive, but the Curies obviously didn't find the right way, and I know a little bit about it."
"Oh." She nodded, and thought for a moment, "It's weird, Qin." You know Mary. What is Curie doing and not knowing where she is......"
"I've just heard people talk about her and her husband's research, and sadly, he apparently forgot to tell me where they live." Qin Lang shrugged his shoulders, revealing an expression of annoyance and disgust—partly disguised, but partly aimed at himself.
Qin Lang felt that the smooth progress all along, and Elizabeth's relationship with him, had made him less vigilant, and he always inadvertently leaked some dangerous information that was easy to cause others to speculate. Although he can still find an excuse to defend himself, if he does not return to the initial caution, sooner or later trouble will come to his door.
"Be cautious." He warned himself, "Be cautious. ”
Then in the next second, he fell into thought--in this way, Qin Lang successfully ended his conversation with Elizabeth.
"Qin ......" Elizabeth glared at him in annoyance, glaring at him even though she knew it wouldn't have any effect. It's always like this, Qin Lang will always enter his spiritual world without warning, and it will last for hours every time, I really don't know how he has so many problems to consider.
"It's disgusting!" She was indignant. Eventually, though, she began to guess what he was thinking.
That's always something to look forward to......
Lexington, Virginia [Note].
O'Connor was walking in the meadows of the Virginia Military Academy, accompanied by an elderly gentleman in a crisp gown. Shipp[note 2], director of education at the Military Academy, a veteran who had fought in the Civil War and had attained the rank of brigadier general - Lieutenant Colonel Shipp was unfortunately an officer in the Confederate States of America and was the losing side of the war.
Of course, like the vast majority of servicemen who served in the Southern Army during the Civil War, Shipp did not consider himself a loser, and certainly he did not always denigrate the Northern military, as some people do. The Director of Education was only fond of reiterating several battles in which he had fought: the Ronim Expedition, the Battle of McDowell, and the Battle of Newmarket[note 3], and was sure to emphasize to his audience the tremendous role played by the cadet corps, made up of students from the Virginia Military Academy, in these battles.
O'Connor knew why, not only because Shipp was the director of education at the Military Academy, but also because he was the commander of the Virginia Military Academy's cadet corps during the Civil War.
He's just bragging about his exploits.
However, this was an excusable act, and when Shipp bragged about his achievements, he would no longer argue with him about the curriculum of the Zhanjiang branch, so O'Connor listened quietly, occasionally making a little comment and admiration to make the director of education comfortable and happy for a while.
At the same time, he was also praying, hoping that Qin Lang would be able to rush to Lexington as soon as possible, hoping that Qin Lang could solve all the problems, and hoping that he would ......
Shipp abruptly changed the content of his speech. "Mr. O'Connor, it is said that in addition to cooperating with the Military Academy to open a branch in Zhanjiang, Mr. Qin is also preparing to establish a comprehensive university called ...... Uh, Tsinghua University...... Is that so? ”
"That's right, Mr. Shippe." O'Connor replied.
"So......" the Director of Education hesitated for a moment, "Has Mr. Qin found the Director of Education?" ”
O'Connor stopped his progress and turned to Shipp, looking at him in surprise. "Mr. Shipp, are you going to be the director of education at Tsinghua University?"
"Isn't that possible?" Shipp asked rhetorically.
"Of course not." O'Connor shook his head and said, "I'm just wondering who should take over as the director of education at the Virginia Military Academy." ”
"I think it could be Edward. Nicholas [note 4]. The director of education didn't look like he was joking at all, but after a while, he was already laughing, "Oh, I can't actually be the director of education at Tsinghua University." ”
"So what do you mean?"
"If Mr. Qin can't find the right person to be the director of education, I can recommend one for him."
