Reckless Youth

When Li Qiwei said he would solve the dark cloud problem within three years.

Everyone in the venue thought he was crazy, and even many physics bigwigs couldn't help but glance sideways.

"Who does Bruce Li think he is, is he the God of Physics?"

"Bruce is indeed as the rumors say, intelligent but extremely arrogant, always saying surprising things."

"Young people nowadays don't know the immensity of heaven and earth, it's not that easy to innovate in basic theory."

"Bruce is my idol, what do those old guys know, studying physics requires this kind of courage."

Many people were discussing Li Qiwei's bold claims, some agreeing, some disdainful.

Röntgen's wise eyes stared at Li Qiwei, making the latter feel that Nobel's gaze was indeed sharp.

The bigwig spoke, "Bruce, since you say that my discovery of X-rays is the most important, then I want to ask you, what do you think is the use of X-rays?"

Li Qiwei was stunned, not knowing why the other party asked, but still replied, "I believe X-rays will have a huge impact in the medical field."

"It can penetrate the human body, allowing doctors to know the situation inside the patient."

Röntgen nodded. He had used X-rays to photograph his own palm, and the effect was very good, so he strongly agreed with Li Qiwei's view.

Historically, Röntgen's excessive research into X-rays led to physical deformities in his later years, causing immense pain and a tragic end.

His achievements could save countless people, but not himself. This was the fate of great physicists!

But at this moment, Röntgen had not yet experienced this. He continued, "Since I discovered X-rays five years ago, I have never stopped researching them."

"But unfortunately, to this day, I still don't know what the essence of X-rays is, how to observe them, or measure them."

"I have countless excellent scholars around me, studying with me, yet we still cannot solve the problem."

"Bruce, why are you so confident that you can create another miracle?"

"Or is it that you already have some ideas, which is why you dare to set a deadline?"

As the saying goes, "Old ginger is spicier." Röntgen's firsthand account almost exposed Li Qiwei's true capabilities.

Indeed, in terms of intelligence and talent, no one present would admit to being inferior to Li Qiwei.

Why should everyone struggle for many years to solve a known problem, while you, Bruce, dare to claim to solve a century-old puzzle in three years?

Unless you have already made some discoveries, or have reasonable speculations.

Fortunately, Röntgen could never have guessed that he was a transmigrator.

Li Qiye smiled and said, "Professor Röntgen, explanations are cheap, papers are real. I will prove it with papers."

The exact same words, but this time no one looked down on Li Qiwei anymore.

Indeed, strength was the best explanation.

When he first said at the Royal Society that he would solve the dark cloud problem, everyone treated him like a clown and a liar.

But now, although some people questioned him, no one called him overconfident. In fact, there was a little anticipation, an expectation that Li Qiwei could fulfill his promise.

After all, among those present, although they were all leaders in the physics industry, only a few could truly compare to Röntgen and Lord Kelvin.

People naturally liked those who challenged authority, especially if they succeeded.

After Li Qiwei finished speaking, Röntgen nodded silently.

However, his expression still showed admiration for Li Qiwei.

Young people should be sharp and assertive!

Hiding themselves all day and pretending to be humble would only make them lose the courage to strive forward.

It was known that Röntgen himself embarked on the path of physics because he was once looked down upon by a bigwig.

Therefore, he refused to admit defeat and wanted to prove himself.

In Li Qiwei, he seemed to see a shadow of his younger self.

At this moment, a magnetic voice suddenly sounded, with a slight Russian accent.

"Bruce, hello, I am Minkowski, formerly Einstein's math teacher."

Li Qiwei looked at him. The bigwig wore glasses and looked gentle and refined.

It was he who helped Einstein build a solid mathematical foundation, enabling him to create the theory of relativity.

Minkowski continued, "Einstein often mentioned you in his letters, saying you are a once-in-a-century genius."

"He has also recently become interested in the first dark cloud problem, believing that the principle of the speed of light is the key to solving it. What do you think?"

After speaking, he smiled at Li Qiwei.

All the bigwigs also looked forward to Li Qiwei's next answer.

Li Qiwei was shocked. So God of Love had already begun to ponder relativity at this time?

He knew that Einstein's 1905 publication was special relativity, which used two important principles: the principle of relativity and the principle of the constancy of the speed of light.

From these two principles, one could deduce length contraction, time dilation, and the most famous mass-energy equivalence!

It completely negated the existence of Aether, explained the macroscopic high-speed world, and incorporated Newtonian mechanics into its framework.

From then on, Einstein was directly deified.

Meanwhile, Li Qiwei had already decided to bring the theory of special relativity into the world early, making it shine alongside Quantum.

So, he said, "Professor Minkowski, Einstein is a very good friend of mine."

"I strongly agree with his thoughts, and I also believe that the speed of light is the key to solving problems."

"When I have time, I'll have a good chat with him. Perhaps we can come up with a brand new theory in an afternoon."

Minkowski burst into laughter upon hearing this. Röntgen and other big shots looked speechlessly at Li Qiwei. Did this guy suffer if he didn't brag for a moment?

Only Planck watched quietly, recalling the first time. The other party had been just as calm and confident.

Soon, a few more scholars posed questions. Li Qiwei answered them all, and then his report concluded.

Although it wasn't very long, it left a deep impression.

Next, it was the turn of Planck, Röntgen, Boltzmann, and other big shots to take the stage in turn.

The brilliant reports benefited Li Qiwei greatly.

The achievements of these big shots were solid. Every data point, every letter, was filled with countless efforts.

Moreover, listening to these big shots report was nowhere near the drowsy feeling of later generations.

This also showed that without real achievements and strength, it's better to talk less nonsense to others; it's purely a waste of time.

After the conference ended, Li Qiwei saw that Li San was almost asleep. It was truly tough for him; the entire time was like listening to gibberish.

After they walked out of the research institute, Li Qiwei said goodbye to Planck and then rushed back to the hotel with Li San.

It was already around 6 PM.

Walking under the dim lamplight, Li San asked Li Qiwei how they could revitalize China.

Li Qiwei glanced at him curiously. Wow, Third Brother also had great ambitions.

He smiled and said to Li San, "I'll be in charge of the civil side, and you'll be in charge of the military. One civil, one military, let's recreate China, hahaha."

Li San felt embarrassed by his words and scratched his head. He always felt that Young Master was different from before.

Just then, a man in a black trench coat, hands in his pockets, walked towards them.

A habit developed over years of training made Li San stare intently at the approaching figure, his entire body tensing up.

Li Qiwei was still loudly cheering and envisioning the future, completely unaware of the approaching danger.

Suddenly, a cold glint flashed. Li San shouted, "Young Master, watch out!"
