Chapter 64 God Bless China, the defense ends
When Li Qiwei finished analyzing the pioneer trap of technology, everyone present was terrified.
They are afraid of seeing the day when Britain is overtaken and will no longer be the center of the world.
Suddenly, someone shouted in a threatening voice: "Bruce Lee, you said these words publicly, aren't you afraid that the British government will arrest you and restrict you from leaving the country?"
"If you can't even bring people back, I don't want to see how you can copy our British technology."
There was a sudden buzz in the meeting hall. He Yujie and the other two were extremely worried. They were afraid that the British government was really so cruel that they would detain them. In that case, everything would be over.
However, after hearing this, Li Qiwei sneered and shook his head, showing that he didn't care. "As long as the British authorities are not mentally ill, they will not do such a stupid thing."
"Even if you expel me today, or even detain me, have you considered the adverse effects that may follow?"
"Ladies and gentlemen, there are not only people from the Qing Dynasty studying in the UK now, but also Americans, French, and Germans."
"You can defend against me, but can you defend against millions of people? Does Britain have to expel all foreigners?"
"Isn't the Qing Dynasty the only backward country in the world? Does the British Empire want to be the enemy of the whole world?"
The face of the person who made the threat suddenly turned purple. Li Qiwei's questioning was impeccable. The British government really did not dare to do this, otherwise it would arouse public anger.
You know, Europe is not a monolithic entity now. There are many countries that hate Britain, not to mention that there is a certain big country eyeing it covetously.
Li Qiwei continued: "Once the technological race begins, it can never be stopped. Any country that is at the forefront will encounter the first mover trap."
"The only solution is for technology to continue to break through, overcome the current trap, and then enter the next reincarnation, endlessly."
"No country is immune. Lagging countries must work hard to catch up, and developed countries must maintain their advantages. Technology will always be the most important factor."
The eye-opening conclusion made everyone's hair stand on end in the classroom, and a cruel picture of competition between countries appeared in their minds.
As Ridgwell said, once the industrial revolution started and the power of science and technology began to explode, no country could stay out of it.
At this moment, people realized how terrifying the Qing youth before them were.
He was only 21 years old, but he had such a profound insight into the world situation, as if he was reading a book in the palm of his hand.
What’s even more infuriating is that he is also a top physicist and may even influence the development of the world in the future.
Li Qiwei looked at the shocked people in the classroom and felt emotional. He was not afraid that today's remarks would help Britain after they spread.
Because the real top leaders have actually sensed the problem, and the rise of the United States has made Britain wary.
It’s just that with the development of technology, although we have guns and cannons, their power is still within people’s acceptable range.
So Britain is confident that no one can cross the ocean and attack the British mainland.
But they can send warships to colonize various parts of the world and plunder their property.
If the British government knew that there would be things like supersonic aircraft, atomic bombs, and ballistic missiles in the future, and that someone had already started planning them.
Then Li Qiwei will definitely not be able to escape today, and no means or reasons can save him.
After all, it was hundreds of years of prosperity that made the British Empire expand, and it looked down on everyone, let alone a small man like Ridgway.
Even his country was conquered by the empire, so what kind of waves can one person cause?
The only countries that Britain cares about are Germany, the United States, France and a few others.
These countries have all experienced the Industrial Revolution and have a solid scientific and material foundation, so they have the possibility of overtaking others.
This is also what Li Qiwei intended, to divert Britain's attention away from China.
Because no matter how you look at it, the threat posed by China is almost non-existent compared to several other countries.
China is not even close to the forerunner trap. In the eyes of Britain, it can only be regarded as an indigenous country, and no matter how you look at it, there will be civil unrest in the future.
In this way, Li Qiwei will have time to develop secretly and accumulate strength in secret.
The defense is basically over here, and no one will ask any more questions.
Today's content is really shocking. Whether it is the wave-particle duality of light or the concept of the pioneer trap in technology, it is beyond people's imagination.
Under the complicated gazes of the crowd, Li Qiwei nodded in thanks, then calmly walked out of the classroom with He Yujie and the other two.
Four days later, when Ridgwell formally published the wave-particle duality of light in the form of a paper in Nature, the physics community was shocked again.
Countless bigwigs have been pondering this concept over and over again, and the more they ponder, the more they feel that Li Qiwei is amazing.
They suddenly discovered that the development of physics seemed to have been accelerated since the 20th century.
In just two years, first quantum theory appeared, then the photoelectric effect, then the nature of radioactivity, and now the wave-particle duality of light has been figured out.
Even older physicists feel they are falling behind the times.
The real history is actually similar to the present. The development of physics in the early 20th century had a profound impact on the next hundred years.
It can be said that all subsequent physics research is based on the achievements of these big guys, and there is no essential breakthrough.
The development of basic physics seems to have reached a bottleneck and cannot be overcome no matter what.
It all depends on this life. Will the future change because of the appearance of Li Qiwei?
As for his other assertion: the pioneer trap, it did not cause the storm as imagined.
The reason is understandable. This kind of thing has nothing to do with ordinary people and no one will care about it. Anyway, it is a headache for the British government.
But Britain is now busy fighting everywhere, seizing people and territory, and has no time to take care of these things.
So, Li Qiwei escaped the disaster.
On June 1901, 6, the undergraduate graduation ceremony of Trinity College, Cambridge University was held grandly.
The graduates wore standard bachelor's gowns and bachelor's hats, and received their degree certificates from Dean Sanders in a joyous atmosphere.
When Li Qiwei came over, Sanders grabbed his hand, leaned over and said with a smile: "Bruce, you are really the best student I have ever taught."
Li Qiwei was speechless. What did you teach me?
Sanders was an experienced man. His expression remained unchanged as he continued, "In my opinion, the three of He are not much worse than you."
"I think as long as the teaching conditions can keep up, they can even graduate early."
"You know, although Vice President Cardwell is going to bring in a large sum of money, there are so many colleges in Cambridge that there won't be enough to go around."
"If someone can sponsor Trinity College to provide students with a better learning environment, I believe they will be able to graduate successfully within two years."
Li Qiwei was stunned for a moment. Is this what he understood?
I didn't expect Sanders' abacus beads to clatter so loudly, but he did find Li Qiwei's weakness.
Of course, he hoped that He Yujie and the other two could graduate early and return as soon as possible.
Only by returning to China with the title of Cambridge University graduate can I gain a firm foothold and have sufficient authority and voice in the field of education.
So, Li Qiwei smiled and whispered, "Dean Sanders, even if you didn't say it, I would have thought of this."
"No matter what, it was Trinity College that educated me."
"How about this, when my patent licensing fee arrives, I plan to donate 5,000 pounds to the college to improve teaching conditions. The students' future is the most important thing."
After hearing this, Sanders shook Li Qiwei's hand tightly and helped him straighten his crown.
The two foxes, one old and one young, were laughing particularly happily. Everyone in the audience was envious. What a strong teacher-student relationship.
At this point, Li Qiwei finally graduated from undergraduate school and was about to start his doctoral career at Cavendish.
