1900: A physics genius wandering around Europe

Borneo was undergoing reforms in 1932.

Everything became well-organized and full of vitality.

Time flies, and soon it was 1933.

Kuching.

Fermi immigrated here with his wife and children at the beginning of this year.

The deafening explosion of the Pangaea atomic bomb made Borneo the safest place in the world, and no one dared to mess with it.

However, Ridgeway himself publicly announced that he would not interfere in international disputes.

Therefore, the impact of the atomic bomb on the situation in Europe did not expand.

With the rise of the Nazis, the atmosphere in Italy and Germany became increasingly tense.

There have even been cases of scientists being openly arrested to research atomic bombs.

Fermi certainly loved his country, but he knew even better that the atomic bomb must never fall into the hands of ambitious people.

Professor Bruce proved through his actions that he could uphold human morality.

But could the Nazis do that?
Once they acquire the atomic bomb, the world may forever be shrouded in fear.

Fermi dared not gamble!
He didn't want to live in a struggle between national interests and personal feelings.

So he simply used the pretext of a visit to stay in Borneo.

Li Qiwei, of course, welcomed this.

Given Fermi's talent, Ridgeway even built a separate laboratory for him, named the Fermi Laboratory, to demonstrate his appreciation for talent.

Fermi quickly grew to like the place.

"Everyone here is talented and speaks so well. I love it here."

Despite being from Italy, his status earned him the utmost respect.

Because this is a land of science!
Anyone who has a passion for science and makes contributions to it can obtain the best conditions.

Fermi received a high level of allowance, enough for him to live a comfortable life.

Since the previous blunder involving transuranic elements, Fermi has been trying to make further breakthroughs.

Now that he's with Professor Bruce, he certainly won't let this precious opportunity slip by.

So whenever he had the chance, he would find Li Qiwei to chat with.

To reward Fermi for his visit, Liggivii subtly hinted at the quantum field theory of weak forces.

As a peerless genius, Fermi naturally understood the solution immediately.

Just a few months later, an article titled "On the Four-Fermion Theory of Weak Forces" shocked the physics community.

Fermi used the ideas of quantum field theory to combine the four particles related to the weak force—proton, neutron, electron, and neutrino—and successfully explained the nature of the weak force.

Although this theory has some flaws, it is still groundbreaking!
The news caused a sensation in academic circles!

Fermi immediately became a top theoretical physicist again.

He consistently delivers groundbreaking results, both theoretical and experimental, causing a stir in the physics community.

His legendary experiences are the envy of many.

Fermi publicly stated:

"Everyone come quick! Borneo is a paradise for scientists!"

Countless hearts were moved.

People from other countries are fine, especially in Germany, where many Jewish scientists have come out.

Einstein was the leader of this group.

However, the arrival of Old Love left Ridgeway both amused and exasperated.

The other person kept nagging in his ear all day long:

"Bruce, destroy the atomic bomb."

"That thing is evil."

"We call on all countries not to develop nuclear weapons."

"Only then will the world be at peace!"

Li Qiwei had already decided to remove Lao Ai from the list of members of the Iron Committee.

This child must not be allowed to live.

So he deliberately tried to scare him:
"Einstein, do you believe it or not, if I destroy the atomic bomb today, you will be arrested by Hitler tomorrow?"

"Don't forget, you're still on the wanted list."

Einstein fell silent.

"Bruce, let's discuss the theory of everything."

Although many scientists fled to Germany, Hitler didn't care.

He believed that Germany had the resources to build an atomic bomb.

Shortly after Fermi published his theory of weak force, the field of experimental physics witnessed another groundbreaking breakthrough!

Li Chengren, the third son of Li Qiwei, discovered the real transuranic element!

The news sent shockwaves through Borneo!
Does transuranic element really exist?

Fermi arrived at the Institute of Atomic Science immediately.

The place is now packed with people.

Everyone was filled with curiosity.

"Hasn't transuranic element been disproven?"

"Could they have made another mistake?!"

Li Chengren felt a little nervous being watched by various bigwigs.

He was just doing a regular neutron bombardment experiment, but unexpectedly he produced transuranium.

Yu Yin was extremely excited.

Because this topic was given to Li Chengren by him.

"Chengren, tell everyone about your discovery process."

Li Chengren nodded and began to speak:
"I have found a way to accelerate neutrons using a cyclotron."

"Then I controlled the speed of the neutrons according to the gradient and bombarded the uranium nuclei separately to detect the properties of the products."

"Until I discovered a substance with a half-life of 2.3 days."

Next, Li Chengren explained in detail how he used the color method to make the judgment.

"Ultimately, we determined that this substance was element 93."

"It was the first transuranic element!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fermi became the focus of the entire audience.

He immediately smiled wryly:

"I swear I will never touch experimental physics again."

Everyone laughed.

Soon, Li Chengren's paper was published, which immediately shocked the entire scientific community, even more so than Fermi's theory of weak forces.

Transuranic elements really exist!

Where does the periodic table end?
The simultaneous breakthroughs in theoretical and experimental physics have left countless researchers in awe:

"An atomic bomb heralded the arrival of the scientific age!"

"From today onward, science will be the mainstream of the world!"

In this context, the highly anticipated Sixth Bruce Conference was just around the corner!
This conference caused a far greater sensation than the previous ones.

Even the first edition couldn't compare.

Because this time it's truly attracting global attention!
Not just the scientific community, but the entire world is looking forward to this conference.

The conference remains by invitation only, with only a few dozen people able to participate in the physics academic discussion.

Some of them were even in charge of the development of the atomic bomb, but they were also allowed to come.

This is the power and influence Li Qiwei has now!
Until a second atomic bomb is developed, no one dares to disobey his will!
However, Li Qiwei extended an invitation to all renowned scientists worldwide, welcoming their arrival.

He specifically extended the post-conference discussion session of the Bruce meeting!

Even those who haven't received an invitation can come and listen in.

Everyone was overjoyed.

By mid-October, Kuching had become a sea of ​​people.

Bigwigs from all walks of life gathered here.

If Ridgeve hadn't unified Borneo, there really wouldn't have been a way to accommodate so many people at the same time.

Among everyone, scientists received various special privileges. This action truly made Borneo's reputation as a nation of science well-deserved.

Many people have already begun to consider settling down or studying here.

10 month 30 day.

The meeting is now officially in session!
Looking at those familiar faces, Li Qiwei was filled with emotion.

Heisenberg, in particular, avoided eye contact, his gaze darting away.

Li Qiwei didn't say anything, just smiled slightly at him.

In this lifetime, whatever choice Heisenberg makes will not affect the course of history.

Because the first thing Li Qiwei did in his opening remarks immediately stunned the entire audience.

"Today, in my capacity as Chairman of the Borneo Supreme Science Council, I would like to announce something to you all."

"The Brahma Power Institute under the Supreme Council has successfully developed a weapon based on nuclear fusion, which I have named the [Hydrogen Bomb]."

"Everyone should know very well that the atomic bomb has a limit to its power in principle."

"But the hydrogen bomb has no such bottleneck. As long as there are enough raw materials, its power can be continuously increased."

"And the first hydrogen bomb we developed had a yield of 1000 megatons!"

"This is the foundation of Borneo's military strength."

"I hope that after you return home, you will tell the authorities this news."

"Borneo has absolutely no intention of dominating, but if anyone provokes us, we will reserve all means of retaliation!"

"Those who offend my Brahma, no matter how far away, shall be punished!"

hiss!
quiet!
The entire venue was so quiet you could hear a pin drop!

Everyone gaped in shock, completely incredulous!

"1000 million tons of TNT equivalent?"

"Oh, God!"

"This is too exaggerated!"

Many of the physics gurus present have been driven almost crazy by the atomic bomb lately.

The more they studied it, the more they realized how incredible it was that Professor Bruce could develop an atomic bomb with just a few talented people and the tiny land of Borneo!
How powerful does that have to be?
But now, the hydrogen bomb, which is many times more terrifying than the atomic bomb, has emerged.

In fact, Ridgway was just trying to scare them. The principle of the hydrogen bomb had been solved, but it would take some time to actually build it.

But with Pangu as an example, who would dare to question Li Qiwei's words?

The bigwigs present knew the principles of the hydrogen bomb.

But knowing something and designing it are two completely different things.

At this moment, everyone understood that Borneo had become the most transcendent power on this planet.

It is invincible and lofty, yet it is not troubled by worldly affairs, and pursues the ultimate in science.

"Professor Bruce, is this the paradise you wanted to create?"

"It's really great!"

Then, Ridgeway announced a second thing.

"Today, I hope to elect the members of the Iron Throne."

"Physics is the foremost of the natural sciences, and physicists need to shoulder their responsibilities."

"I'm sure everyone is well aware of the significance of the Iron Throne."

"However, the election for the Iron Throne is not a truly free election. Instead, I will propose a list of candidates, and everyone will vote publicly."

"I hope everyone can understand."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

They were well aware that although Borneo was a land of science, its rulers were now surnamed Lee.

The election process will not take place now, but after the meeting.

Finally, Li Qiwei suddenly smiled and said:

"Next, I will be speaking with you as a physicist."

Everyone smiled.

"Professor Bruce is finally back!"

Li Qiwei boldly declared:
"Borneo has only one goal."

"Explore the stars and the sea, pursue the ultimate universe!"

boom!
The entire audience was deeply moved!

A man who stands at the pinnacle of martial prowess in the world has no goal other than worldly power, but rather eternal truth!
He ushered in a new era for science!

The era of scientific hegemony!

The Borneo Science Festival amazed the world.

Rigdwell finally fulfilled his promise to unite scientists worldwide.

The advent of the hydrogen bomb completely shaped the world order!

Borneo is practically an alien civilization; it's a game-changer for other countries.

With a yield of 1000 million tons, everyone could smile at Rigvii.

For major powers, they might be able to withstand a few atomic bombs.

But a hydrogen bomb is an attack that absolutely cannot be tolerated.

It’s so appalling!

Since then, Borneo has become a global center of science, attracting scholars from all over the world to come here to study and research.

Here you'll find the safest guarantees, the most relaxed research environment, and the purest academic competition.

This is the only pure land for science in the world.

sunset.

The afterglow of the setting sun bathed the earth in a golden hue.

Ridgeway strolled on the beach with his two wives.

Wang Luyao said:
"The eldest, the second eldest, and Youyou have all found good homes."

"Chengren's marriage should also be put on the agenda."

Song Xianglan said with a smile:

“I heard from Chengren that he only wants to do research right now and doesn’t want to talk about marriage.”

"They also said that after '93 comes '94, '95,' and the road ahead is long."

"I don't understand what he means either."

Although Li Chengren was born to Wang Luyao, he was closer to Song Xianglan.

Wang Luyao's face puffed out, and he cursed:

"This kid's gotten too big for his britches."

"No matter how important transuranic elements are, no matter how important scientific research is, is it more important than one's wife?"

After saying that, the two women looked at Li Qiwei at the same time.

Li Qiwei suddenly felt a tightness all over his body, as if he were being stared at by some terrifying beast.

He immediately stated:
“I will speak to Chengren in person tomorrow.”

"He can pick any Western princess he fancy."

"But it would be best to choose someone with a big butt so she can have children and continue the Li family line."

puff.

The two women laughed at the same time.

Wang Luyao pinched his waist and scolded him playfully:
"You old lewd man!"

Li Qiwei laughed heartily.

Then, he stopped, put his arms around both of his wives, and said softly:
"Lu Yao, Xiang Lan, after all these years, I want to say thank you to both of you."

"I have made you sacrifice too much for my career and ideals."

"I may be a qualified physicist and a patriot, but I am not a qualified husband."

"Having you all in my life is the greatest fortune of my life."

"Even the theory of everything is no match for your one in ten thousand."

Wow!
The two women clung tightly to Li Qiwei's chest, their clothes soaked with tears.

Li Qiwei gazed at the distant sea and murmured:
"From this moment on, it is both the end and the beginning."
