1900: A physics genius wandering around Europe

Chapter 665: Inviting Global Scientific Leaders! The 5th Bruce Conference! The Waterdrop Center! A World-Shaking Event!
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was 1927.

That year, the international and domestic situation became increasingly volatile, as if a momentous change was brewing.

Colonialism, rebellion, vying for supremacy, ambition, intrigue, rise.
This is a chaotic era where all human dignity is trampled upon.

This is also an era where one can defy fate and change their destiny, and the power of wisdom is amplified infinitely.

City of Science.

After more than a decade of development, what was once a small coastal town in Southeast Asia has now become a world-renowned city with distinctive characteristics.

A secluded paradise city characterized by scientific research.

Scientists from all Asian countries have come here to study.

Chinese, Indian, and Sakura.
No matter how complex the relations between countries may be, here, everyone has only one relationship: research colleagues.

The City of Science embraces an inclusive and open attitude, without restricting anyone's beliefs, ethnicity, or other factors.

Of course, extremists are definitely not welcome.

At this moment, Li Qiwei arrived here, accompanied by his second brother, Li Zhongxing.

"Third brother, the City of Science is now becoming a calling card for Asia."

"Although it cannot compete with those big cities in terms of scale, its potential is incomparable."

Nowadays, Li Zhongxing exudes a more profound aura and also carries a hint of scholarly temperament.

At first, he thought he could only govern a city of science, but now his mind has long since encompassed the entire continent of Borneo.

The City of Science has essentially become the capital of Borneo.

Li Qiwei smiled and nodded, very satisfied. He asked:

What is the current situation of the institutions within the city?

Li Zhongxing waved his hand, and his assistant quickly stepped forward, carrying a briefcase.

Judging from this, he must be one of Li Zhongxing's trusted subordinates, otherwise he wouldn't have had the opportunity to report to Li Qiwei.

The assistant said:

"Dean, as of the end of last year, the situation was as follows:"

"There are 35 research institutions in the city, including research institutes and laboratories jointly built by Borneo and other countries."

"There are 52 technology companies here, including branches of large European and American companies such as Philips, Pfizer, Siemens, BASF, and Mitsubishi."

"Our Shanhe Group also has a branch here."

"There are also 10 primary schools and 2 middle schools to meet the educational needs of visiting scholars for their children."

"In addition, there are several buildings with different functions."

"."

Li Qiwei was deeply moved after hearing this.

After years of planning, the results are finally in.

He inquired about every detail carefully:

What is the city's output?

"What are the talent management and compensation like?"

How many resources are expected to be brought in for the next plan?

The assistant answered fluently and methodically, his young and handsome face radiating wisdom and confidence.

Li Qiwei secretly admired him, and casually asked:
"What's your name?"

The assistant replied:

"Dean, my name is Shen Jingqing."

At this moment, Li Zhongxing said with a smile:

"Xiao Shen is a genuine graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy, and he was outstanding during his time at the academy."

“He is very organized in everything he does, and I trust him completely.”

This means that Xiao Shen is one of our own.

Li Qiwei nodded, smiled, looked at Shen Jingqing, and said softly:
"good."

Then, Li Zhongxing grabbed Li Qiwei's hand and said mysteriously:
"Come on, third brother, I'll take you to see what you most want to see!"

Li Qiwei smiled slightly; this was also his main purpose for coming here today.

Through continuous expansion and development, the city of science has long since exceeded its original planning scope.

Its current area is not much smaller than that of Kuching.

In response, Brooke Wang Weina stated: "We will meet all land use requirements!"
Because of the City of Science, the world learned that there was once a country called the Brook Dynasty.

Otherwise, a small Southeast Asian country would simply fade into obscurity in the annals of history.

Wiener was a pioneer and enterprising leader, with rather radical ideas and practices.

This was exactly what Li Qiwei wanted.

After walking for half an hour, the group arrived at the northwest corner of the city, which was only six or seven kilometers away from the distant sea.

After Li Qiwei and the others stepped onto a small earthen mound in front of them.

Everyone was stunned!

Standing before you is a huge and unique building.

From a distance, the building appears entirely silver-white, shimmering with dazzling light.

Upon closer inspection, the main building resembles a teardrop-shaped spaceship, ready to take off!

The spacecraft adopts an axially symmetrical design concept, which, in addition to its technological feel, also highlights the profound connotation and charm of Eastern culture.

Streamlined design, bold yet understated texture.
High-end atmosphere and top grade!
On the side of the building is a large, well-maintained open space that can accommodate vehicles and even a small airport.

Everyone was filled with intense curiosity.

Such architecture is simply unheard of.

It can't be a laboratory or company headquarters or anything like that; that would be too extravagant.

Soon, as everyone was speculating, Li Zhongxing confidently revealed the answer.

"The name of this building is the Science City Convention and Exhibition Center."

"The center is equipped with a conference center, a commercial plaza, and a high-end hotel. It is a large-scale complex integrating various business formats such as exhibitions, conferences, commerce, and offices."

"Although the building has only five floors, its total height reaches 30 meters."

"The convention center can accommodate 2 people for meetings at the same time."

"The largest conference room has 3000 seats, which can meet the requirements of very large conferences."

hiss!
Everyone gasped!
This is too scary!
"My goodness!"

"This is absolutely the largest venue in the world!"

"If we could hold a meeting here, that would be truly high-class!"

Last year's Pan-Pacific Science Conference was held in Singapore.

The meeting, which had only a few hundred people, felt incredibly crowded.

But if it were held in this convention center, it would be like a drop of water merging into the ocean.

Someone asked curiously:
"General Li, who designed this convention center? It's so beautiful and high-tech."

"Moreover, it looks a lot like the droplet warship sent to Earth by the three-star civilization in the novel 'The Insects'."

Li Zhongxing, comparing himself to domestic leaders, often referred to himself as the "Chief of Staff," so everyone got used to calling him that.

Seeing everyone's surprise, he smiled and said:

"That's right, its inspiration came from 'The Insects'."

"As for who the designer is, you might be shocked to find out."

"That's our Professor Li."

After saying that, he pointed at Li Qiwei.

Wow!
The entire audience was instantly stunned!

There were also many foreign friends in the crowd.

They exclaimed:

"My God!"

"Professor Bruce actually has such a high level of architectural design talent!"

"The artistry of this convention center is comparable to that of world-famous buildings."

"Moreover, it seems to be full of the beauty of classical Chinese culture."

Shen Jingqing's expression was moved, his eyes resolute. Even foreigners were so eager to boast in front of the dean; this was simply unimaginable in China.

That's their status!

Shen Jingqing came from a prestigious family and received excellent traditional cultural education from a young age.

In his view, the teardrop-shaped building in front of him is extremely stunning and is a product that transcends the aesthetics of this era.

But to say that it possesses a strong classical Chinese aesthetic would be a bit of a stretch.

Moreover, the architectural style of China is not actually suitable for a scientific approach.

"However, the building exudes a sharpness that seems to pierce the clouds, almost like a tangible thing."

"The dean truly deserves to be called the world's foremost scientist; his vision has long transcended this planet."

Shen Jingqing nodded to himself.

What he didn't know was that what he was thinking was exactly what Ridgeway had originally intended for his design.

Li Qiwei smiled slightly in response to the praise from the crowd.

This convention center is a project he approved several years ago, and he has invested over a million yuan in it.

It's all for the sake of elevating the prestige of the science city!

As the only city in the world with science at its core, it naturally needs to have the world's largest and most advanced conference center.

Otherwise, how could they be worthy of the status of the big shots?

The US president has the White House, the British king has a royal palace, so it's only natural that top scientists have their own private meeting rooms.

If it weren't for the limitations of technology at the time, he could have designed even more futuristic buildings.

With such hardware conditions, Li Qiwei was also confident in inviting the bigwigs to the meeting.

Moreover, in the future, this place will be the one that determines the fate of the entire world!
"The Iron Throne, the Seven Giants"

Then, he revealed a bombshell to everyone!
"The Fifth Bruce Conference will be held here."

"In addition, I will invite top global experts to gather here and discuss science together."

hiss!
Everyone was shocked!

Isn't this just a high-end version of the Trans-Pacific Science Conference?

This time, the world's leading scientists have arrived!
The fifth floor of the convention center.

The crowd wandered around curiously.

At the highest point in front of the water droplet is Li Qiwei's private office.

At this moment, he stood by the window, with the azure sea stretching out in the distance and seagulls flying merrily.

Even looking far into the distance, one can still see the faint outline of the continent.

Smoke of battle rises, heroes vie for supremacy;
Displaced, humiliated and miserable.

Millions of years ago, when the first ape looked up at the vast and boundless starry sky, he possessed the divine qualities of a human and was able to think.

But what the other side is thinking about is definitely not war and evil, but truth and the stars.

Suddenly, Li Qiwei's will seemed to transcend time and space, meeting the gaze of the divine ape and sparking eternal sparks of wisdom.

At this moment, he stood on Borneo, his gaze reaching to the heavens and the earth, overlooking the world.

"I will protect this pure land of science!"

"I am the hidden dragon of the South China Sea!"

He is still waiting, waiting for the right opportunity.
-
1927 October.

The news of the Fifth Bruce Conference has been officially announced.

The theme of the conference was: Particles and Quantum.

Among them, particles are related to experimental physics.

The development of experimental physics in the past three years can absolutely be described as explosive growth.

Therefore, it is indeed necessary to discuss this through the Bruce Conference.

As for quantum, it is related to the quantum field theory that has recently become incredibly popular.

The entire foundation of theoretical physics has been rewritten by quantum field theory.

No one can predict how magnificent this brand-new theoretical edifice will become.

In summary, this year's conference theme, which combines experimentation and theory, is very much in line with practical development.

The scientific community was immediately abuzz with excitement after the news was released!

It's not just the physics community that's paying attention; the entire scientific community is.

The meeting proceeded as scheduled, much to the relief of many.

Professor Bruce's return to Asia will be a major loss for the European scientific community.

Some even exclaimed:
"The scientific achievements that Professor Bruce has brought to Europe in the past twenty-five years are equal to the sum of the previous two hundred and fifty years."

"He single-handedly propelled the progress of science."

This viewpoint is accepted by countless people.

Relativity, quantum mechanics, cosmology
There are far too many disruptive theories and discoveries.

Human civilization has even risen to a new level.

It's just that the technologies that translate these theories into practice haven't fully taken off yet.

Following Li Qiwei's extensive publicity, news of the Science City Convention and Exhibition Center spread through newspapers.

When everyone saw the iconic water droplet, they were all awestruck.

"Oh, God!"

"Is this where noble aliens hold their meetings?"

"This convention center is so high-end!"

"I originally thought that holding the Bruce conference in Asia might be too rushed."

"I didn't expect that Professor Bruce had prepared everything, and with the highest standards."

For a time, everyone was talking about it.

Some people are also curious:
"How much would it cost to build such a technologically advanced building?"

"Professor Bruce is so rich!"

However, most people can only weep with envy.

"Oh, it's a pity I didn't receive a meeting invitation."

"We can't hold the meeting in this world's most prestigious conference center."

It's not just ordinary scholars; even leading figures in fields like chemistry and biology share this sense of regret.

Unfortunately, their academic field lacked a figure like Professor Bruce, who was both wealthy and exceptionally intelligent.

Without a leader, things just won't get going!

However, this happened shortly after the news of the Bruce meeting was announced.

An invitation letter issued in the name of the Borneo Academy of Sciences instantly shook the scientific community.

"We sincerely invite scholars from all countries and fields to visit the City of Science."

"The Science City Convention and Exhibition Center (Water Drop Center) will host the grandest science salon."

Wow!
The big shots were overjoyed!

In their view, this was a high-level scientific conference personally organized by Professor Bruce after his return to Asia.

Leveraging the cutting-edge Water Drop Center, we will enhance the reputation of the City of Science!
"go with!"

"Of course I want to go!"

“I am very curious about the Alpha Labs in Borneo.”

"I'm more concerned about how the FAST telescope is being built."

"."

At this moment, even the world's top leaders couldn't sit still.

This grand scientific event is sure to surprise everyone.

As the focus of everyone's attention, the bigwigs attending the Bruce meeting were even more excited.

This meeting will be remembered by all the world's top leaders.

Bohr, Pauli, Fermi, and others were all eager to shock the world!
There are also many, many people who hope to take this opportunity to see Professor Bruce again.

Li Qiwei's move stirred up a storm!
