Inside the Atomic Research Institute.

With Li Qiwei's arrival, the atmosphere at this major group meeting was exceptionally lively.

His lecture just now had benefited everyone immensely.

Experimental results might be obtained by chance, but experimental analysis always required rational logic.

The students immediately put what they had learned into practice, trying to reexamine their experimental results from a higher perspective.

The mentors, meanwhile, raised the difficulty of their questions, deliberately probing into exceedingly tricky details.

For a time, the two sides traded verbal blows, locked in a fierce back-and-forth.

It was nothing like the one-sided slaughter from before, where a single question would leave them shaking their heads, knowing nothing.

Listening to everyone's reports, Li Qiwei said with a smile, "It seems the quality of the institute's students is steadily improving."

Yu Yin explained, "That is mainly because your requirements for textbook compilation are extremely high, Teacher."

"I heard from He Yujie that many universities in Europe and America are now using Huangpu Institute of Technology's textbooks as references."

In this era, standardized teaching materials of the kind common in later generations had yet to become widespread.

Many textbooks were written by the leading scholars themselves.

For instance, Rutherford had written many books on Radiology and Atomics.

When Fermi had switched to experimental physics, he had specifically studied every one of Rutherford's books in detail, even translating them into Italian so that his own students could read them as well.

This brought about a problem.

Many ordinary students were not as formidable as Fermi, capable of fully understanding and mastering books written by great scholars.

Moreover, the textbooks used by different universities varied greatly.

Thus, a school's educational results depended to a large extent on the individual student's ability to grasp the material.

Yet from the very beginning, Li
