Chapter 16 Family Letter
While Sir Lockyer was busy with his thesis, Ridgway himself suddenly had some free time.
After sending out his paper, he returned to his life of studying in classes and doing experiments.
Given the efficiency of this era, the process of publishing a paper is definitely long and complicated.
Unlike later generations, it was directly published electronically and spread all over the world in an instant.
Li Qiwei estimated that the paper might not be published until mid-June.
At that time, the final exams had just ended and he was about to go on vacation.
The holidays at Cambridge University are from June to September.
At that time, he would also accept the invitation of Professor Planck and go to the University of Berlin in Germany.
As a result, I had nothing to do during the period before the holiday.
And what's weird is that up to now, Cecil hasn't caused any trouble again, nor has he sent any lackeys to disgust him.
Ridgway guessed that Professor Thomson's words might have worked.
So he stopped paying attention to the matter and forgot about Cecil.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was June 1900.
On this day, Li Qiwei had just returned home from school when Hong'er ran towards him excitedly with something in her hand.
"Master, come and see, the master has sent a letter from home."
Li Qiwei didn't even bother to change his clothes, and hurriedly called Li San and Hong'er into the house.
He carefully opened the letter, wanting to see what the situation was with his family.
For some unknown reason, ever since Li Qiwei traveled through time, the original owner has few memories of his time in the country.
But his body's instinct made him miss his family deeply.
Li Qiwei sighed silently in his heart, well, I will take responsibility for this consequence.
Anyway, I was an orphan in my previous life and grew up in an orphanage. It’s not bad to have parents in this life.
So he slowly opened the letter and read it carefully, while Hong'er and Li San stood beside him with excitement on their faces.
"I am writing to you, my son. I am writing to you, my son."
"."
Zhengge is Li Qiwei's pen name, which means "to use the right way to control the unorthodox, to reform the old and establish the new."
The name is full of his father's high hopes for Li Qiwei, hoping that he can achieve great things.
The sincere words and deep feelings of longing in the letter moved Li Qiwei.
That is the parents' obsession with their children who are away from home. How pitiful are the parents in the world.
Even though Li Qiwei came from another time, he was still moved by these words and almost cried.
Then in the letter, his father talked about the situation at home and the changes in the domestic situation, and finally left some instructions to Li Qiwei.
In summary, here are some important information:
1. The family concluded that the Qing Dynasty was doomed to fall, and the Han elites were watching and secretly accumulating strength.
2. The Qing Dynasty might soon go to war with a foreign country, so Li Qiwei should not return to China for the time being and should stay in Britain.
3. China is currently undergoing a transformation that has not been seen in five thousand years. I hope Li Qiwei will study professional knowledge well and achieve great things in the future.
4. Finally, there was the bank draft sent along with the letter, which was used as living expenses for Li Qiwei and his two servants.
From this letter, we can see that Li Qiwei's family is not simple, especially his father.
The letter should have been written more than a month ago. My father could foresee the outbreak of war. He really has a sharp eye.
Although at that time in China, ordinary people were numb.
But the real elites have been lying in wait, waiting for an opportunity.
Once they saw the decline of the Qing Dynasty, they would take action and completely bury the last feudal dynasty in Chinese history.
The war with foreign countries undoubtedly accelerated this process.
Li Qiwei does not regret not being able to participate in that magnificent era.
If in the next few decades, countless outstanding people will change China and make the Chinese people stand up from then on.
Then, Li Qiwei will rely on his own knowledge and influence to make China stand at the top!
He has no military talent, no political talent, and no diplomatic talent. Even if he goes back, he will be just an ordinary person with no use.
But if he stays in the UK and makes use of his strengths, he can play a huge role.
But what about Li San and Hong'er? Do they have to stay here with me forever?
Li Qiwei thought of this question again, but he didn't need to think too much about it for the time being. So he carefully told Hong'er and Li San the contents of the letter.
Both of them were so excited that their eyes gradually turned red and tears welled up in their eyes.
Obviously, they were all moved by the words in the letter and missed their family and friends in China.
Li Qiwei in turn comforted them and told them not to worry.
And explain to them the current situation in the country and that not being able to go back for the time being is actually a good option.
He also promised that he would go back to visit after graduation.
This barely managed to calm the two of them down.
Then, Li Qiwei suddenly thought of something happy, so he said:
"Okay, don't be sad, you two."
"When I have my holiday in mid-June, I'll take you to Germany."
"I've been in the UK for three years, but I've never taken you out for a walk. This is a good opportunity to broaden your horizons."
After hearing this, the thick-skinned Hong'er stopped sobbing and asked with a smile:
"Wow, Master, is what you said true?"
“We are going to visit other countries?”
"How long can we play?"
"."
Li San, who was standing aside, was annoyed by Hong'er's chattering. He was no longer sad and started to argue with Hong'er again.
The two of them bickered with each other and finally got rid of their sad mood.
Li Qiwei watched the two of them playing with a smile, his eyes looking through the house into the distance.
After a while, he asked Hong'er to prepare the letter paper and started writing back.
Apart from telling their parents that the three of them were doing fine here.
He also plans to ask his father to pay attention to young talents in the country in preparation for the Spark Project.
Let those who are interested in studying physics come to the UK for further studies and I will be responsible for their guidance.
Li Qiwei has figured it out.
The following turbulent times in China were actually not suitable for the development of science and technology, and there was not enough respect for talent.
Therefore, he needs his own team and keeps the core talents firmly in his hands.
When his achievements and fame are big enough, he will naturally attract countless young people in China.
Then, with the help of family members, they were sent to the UK.
I write popular science textbooks on physics, chemistry, etc. by myself and then teach them to these core talents first.
He had already thought about the content of the textbooks and simply moved the later Chinese system over.
Finally, let them return to China and become teachers in various universities to spread the knowledge to more people.
It is even possible that Li Qiwei wants to establish his own university to make science more popular in China.
He will build China's scientific system with physics as the core and train science and engineering students in a targeted manner.
By then, with China's population of hundreds of millions, the speed of industrialization will definitely far exceed that of the UK.
From now on, stand on top of the world!
At this point, the Spark Project finally took shape in Li Qiwei's mind.
Such a large and complex system project requires the efforts and contributions of countless people.
Li Qiwei is the captain, responsible for guiding the ship in the right direction.
After figuring out the whole process, Li Qiwei felt refreshed and smiled with satisfaction and anticipation.
Hong'er was a little dazed when she saw Li Qiwei writing a letter with a smile on his face.
She suddenly felt a feeling in her heart, which she couldn't explain.
But tonight when I slept with the young master, I felt a little uncomfortable.
How should I put it? It's a little hot.
