Chapter 427 World-famous Politician

On December 1904, 12, Church Street in Hanking (Pretoria) was crowded with people. The North and South Lion Dance Teams opened the way in front, followed by a convoy of numerous open-top cars.

Athletes with red flowers on their chests and garlands on their heads sat on top of the open-top motorcade.

They are athletes who participated in the 1904 Olympic Games. This year's games were held in St. Louis, United States.

Compared with the previous two Olympic Games, the organization of this Olympic Games is still very chaotic, and there are very few participating countries. The United States, as the host, won the second place and won 30 gold medals.

The 202 athletes from the South China team were taken care of by the Blackstone Foundation throughout the entire process when they arrived in the United States, and special bodyguards were hired to escort them to and from the team.

It made the South China team's athletes live a very relaxed and comfortable life in the United States for several months.

（这届奥运会从7月1日直到11月23日，耗时5个半月，堪称时间最长的一届奥运会）

The South China team won 40 gold medals and ranked first. The main events were focused on track and field, cycling, shooting, and archery.

As for the gymnastics South China team, it made an impressive debut and won three gold medals. The winners were all Chinese athletes.

Chinese athletes account for more than half of the 40 gold medals. This Olympics has a women's archery event for the first time.

South China was becoming more and more popular around the world, and some of Europe's leading physicists and chemists packed their bags and headed for South Africa.

The starting point for Einstein's solution to the problem was his firm belief in the principle of relativity.

The special theory of relativity is based on two principles: the principle of relativity and the principle of the constant speed of light.

South China female athletes Zeng Xiaorong and Lilian Trida won the gold and silver medals respectively.

……

Athletes participating in the Olympic Games will receive medals and certificates from the Ministry of Culture and Education.

Nanhua State attaches great importance to sports, and sports have begun industrial development in Nanhua.

The power of Nanhua State does not stop there. On December 1904, 12, Einstein's paper was published in the "Annals of Physics".

It's just that his energy is mainly focused on governing the country, and he doesn't care about these scientific awards.

……

Athletes who win medals will also receive cash and material rewards.

These three Nobel Prize winners invariably mentioned Chairman Shi Jintang of South China when delivering their speeches of thanks.

This paper is called "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies". This paper is the first article on the special theory of relativity. It contains the basic ideas and basic content of the special theory of relativity.

Many young people hope to gain a shortcut in life through sports competition.

All three of them said in unison that Chairman Shi's literacy in physics, chemistry and medicine was by no means worse than any top scholar in the world.

Through the speeches of the three laureates, it can be seen that this Chinese politician has played a huge role in guiding the three Nobel laureates.

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Dr. Lawen Schneider for his great discovery of blood types and blood grouping.

In addition to their sports achievements, at the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony on December 12, Tesla and Hertz won the fourth Nobel Prize in Physics for their wireless communication technology.

Nanhua Company also intends to expand the development of this industry. The Ministry of Medicine and Health has set up a special sports department to work with Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceuticals of the United States to research drugs that enhance the human body's abilities.

With the rise of South China's sports performance, South China has become more and more eye-catching around the world, and more and more countries have begun to pay attention to South China's medical technology development.

Galileo was the first to clarify the idea of ​​the principle of relativity, but he did not give a clear definition of time and space.

Newton also talked about the idea of ​​relativity when he established the mechanical system, but he also defined absolute space, absolute time and absolute motion. He was contradictory on this issue.

Einstein greatly developed the principle of relativity. In his view, there is no absolutely static space at all, and there is no absolutely identical time. All time and space are related to moving objects. For any reference system and coordinate system, there is only space and time belonging to this reference system and coordinate system.

For all inertial systems, the physical laws expressed by the space and time of this reference system are all in the same form. This is the principle of relativity, strictly speaking, the principle of relativity in a narrow sense.

In this article, Einstein did not discuss the basis for the constant speed of light as a basic principle. He proposed that the constant speed of light was a bold assumption, which was proposed from the requirements of electromagnetic theory and the principle of relativity.

……

After this paper was published, it did not immediately arouse a great response.

But the newly minted Nobel Prize winners Hertz and Tesla both paid attention to Einstein's papers. They believed that Einstein's work was comparable to that of Copernicus.

The famous German physicist Planck paid attention to Einstein's paper because of Tesla and Hertz's remarks.

After reading it, he immediately published an article in a scientific journal discussing Einstein's paper, and strongly agreed with the views of Dr. Hertz and Professor Tesla.

Thanks to the promotion of Hertz, Tesla and Planck, the theory of relativity quickly became a subject of research and discussion, and Einstein also attracted the attention of the academic community.

……

In January 1905, Chairman Shi Jintang began to publish a series of articles in the British "Times", "My View on the Theory of Relativity".

These series of articles are articles aimed at popularizing science, but the contributors must understand physics and quantum mechanics, and must have profound scientific literacy in order to express the advanced theories in a simple and easy-to-understand way, so that most people can understand it. Can understand.

Others may not be able to do it, but Shi Jintang, who was born as an up master, this kind of thing is easy to do, a piece of cake.

Suddenly, Chairman Shi’s popular science articles were more popular than Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.

Einstein also took advantage of the situation and stated in the media that his main inspiration for writing "The Theory of Relativity" came from Chairman Shi.

……

Such a politician with strong ability to govern the country and equally strong scientific literacy has gained popularity around the world.

News media from all over the world have focused their attention on Chairman Shi Jintang, hoping to interview this politician who was born in the Qing Dynasty but has created miracles in South Africa.

But Chairman Shi declined, saying he just wanted to govern the country well.

However, he appealed to the media that scientists who lack research funds for scientific research projects can come to Nanhua.

As long as it passes the evaluation, it can obtain investment from the South China Science Fund.

As soon as this declaration came out, it quickly caused a sensation in the European scientific research community.

After the Nobel Prize ceremony, if only a few people want to go to Nanhua to seek help.

After Chairman Shi published a popular science article and issued an investment announcement, more and more scientists flocked to South Africa.

They try to get advice from Lord Stone or establish a relationship with Lord Stone to boost their fame.

The staff of the South China Ministry of Culture and Education immediately felt the pressure. More and more scientific teams came to South Africa for consultation, and they simply did not have enough scientific appreciation.

In desperation, Minister Liu Jiazhao had no choice but to take action personally and invited Dr. Hertz, Professor Tesla and Professor Einstein to form the South China Science Evaluation Expert Group.

Their evaluation team specializes in evaluating the scientific and technological potential and research directions of scientific projects.

After the evaluation catalog was made, it was handed over to Chairman Shi for review.

Shi Jintang quickly discovered some new projects in the scientific project catalog, such as "aviation aluminum" and "stainless steel" projects.
