[155] People of the Royal Society

() After the ceremony, there was a meal. Just as the outside reporters who had been hungry for a long time opened their stomachs and ate their stomachs, a voice floated down from the engagement table: "Guests, please listen to me announce something while eating. ..."

The reporters didn't care to wipe off the oil on their lips, and turned their heads away in a hurry, because they keenly recognized that the owner of that voice was the Earl of Beihai.

You're already engaged, what else is there to announce?

Not only the reporters, but the rest of the guests also turned their eyes to the engagement table in bewilderment, only to see Long Hao standing on it in a heroic manner, and beside him stood a few unkempt...old men? . .

In fact, it is a bit unconscionable to say that they are not trimmed. The clothes of these old men are still quite neat, but standing with the fashionable Long Hao, from the first sense, they are indeed a bit sloppy...

"Let me introduce you. This is Mr. George Stokes. He has just stepped down from the position of President of the Royal Society... This is Mr. Oliver Heaviside. He became a member of the Royal Society this year and is in the They have made outstanding achievements in the study of electromagnetism...this is Mr. Stokes' close friend...this is Mr. Stokes' student...these two are high-achieving Cambridge students who studied under Mr. Heaviside..."

Following Long Hao's sonorous and forceful introduction, some people present finally remembered: These sloppy old men, especially Stokes and Heaviside among them, are really remarkable characters! . .

George Stokes, born in 1819, a British mathematician and physicist, won the Lucasian professorship at Cambridge University in 1849, was elected a member of the Royal Society in 1851, and served as the president of the Royal Society from 1886 to 1890. After that, he was the first big cow who combined the three positions of "Lucasian Mathematics Professorship", "Secretary of the Royal Society" and "President of the Royal Society".

Oliver Heaviside, born in 1850.A self-taught British physicist, the electromagnetic noise cancellation method proposed by AT&T has been adopted by AT&T, but he has a strange personality and is not very popular.But this does not prevent him from displaying his genius in physics. Just this year, he was accepted by the Royal Society.Finally, he entered the upper class and was respected.

"Ah, ah, Mr. Long is too polite, which makes the old man a little uncomfortable!" Stokes rubbed his hands, apparently caught off guard by Long Hao's big introduction. According to his original intention, he wanted to be quiet. Discuss and discuss with this 'new star' in the physics world.It is really not what this big cow wants to show off as much as he is now.

Stokes is 72 years old this year, and his body is quite strong, but he has a lot of beards on his cheeks. He is black and thin and looks like a 'Wolverine'... If Stokes still has a gentlemanly demeanor, then standing The Heaviside on his right looked like a butcher on the street, with a fleshy face and protruding eyes, which was hard to imagine.Can such a rough person do academic research?

"Hahaha, Mr. Long is a hero out of a boy. I, Oliver, really admire him!"

Heaviside was hard of hearing, and his voice was like a loudspeaker, which was extremely loud. Under the watchful eyes of a group of academic masters headed by Stokes, he took a few steps carelessly, held Long Hao's hand and Shaking vigorously: "I have read your paper. Your whimsical ideas and rigorous arguments are really fascinating, but after reading it, I have a few questions about your theory of quantum mechanics, for example. First , if the energy state of the particle is not continuous..."

This Heavisai, while talking, actually took out a piece of chalk from his cuff, squatted on the ground, drew graphs and wrote formulas, where Dayou and Long Hao discussed five hundred rounds without seeing the sunset The posture of not withdrawing troops!

Seeing this scene, Stokes and other colleagues covered their faces in shame, and hated in their hearts: I have heard that this Heaviside is out of tune, but I didn't expect him to be so outrageous!Where is this, this is Buckingham Palace, this is the engagement scene presided over by Her Majesty the Queen, you are here to ask for cuddles, and you have a big butt, really, really embarrassing our Royal Society and throwing it at grandma's house!If I knew this earlier, I wouldn't bring him here even if I killed the old man!

The old men of the Royal Society were ashamed on the stage, but the reporters below were full of enthusiasm!

Is this the case of a horse?A Frankenstein of the Royal Society actually wants to discuss advanced academic issues with the Earl of Beihai?

Quantum mechanics, what is that stuff?Hey, Auden, did you go to college, did you study this kind of quantum mechanics?

"Mr. Heaviside, you get up first!"

Long Hao smiled calmly, and lifted the fascinated Heaviside with one hand: "Quantum mechanics is actually nothing, I just discovered it by chance... You see, this is not the place to discuss, is it?"

How amazing was Long Hao's hand strength, he easily lifted the Heaviside which weighed more than [-] jin into the air, the poor physicist was still waving the chalk in the air.

Taking advantage of this time, Stokes quickly directed two young and strong students to come forward and pick up Heaviside, who was a little congested and dizzy.

"Mr. Long, it's really rude. This Heaviside, when talking about physics, people will lack a little education! Please forgive me!" Stokes took out a handkerchief to wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead, and said apologetically to Long Hao.

"It's okay, it's okay! Only true temperament can go further on the road of boring research!"

Long Hao smiled generously: "Which famous scientist has no quirks? It's normal, haha, it's so normal!"

When Stokes heard this, he had a strange expression on his face: This... It seems that I really don't have any eccentricities. Could it be that I, Stokes... am not a famous scientist? ...Well, eating boogers is also a quirk, yes, it should be!

On the engagement stage, Long Hao and the old man Stokes were talking cordially, warmly and happily, but the reporters below quit!

What is that old werewolf man doing with such a low voice?Do you dare to speak up?It's not as good as the loud voice just now!

"My lord, can you tell me why so many professors from the Royal Society came to see you?" Finally, a reporter couldn't help asking, you said that you would not dump us after introducing these old men , Whispering to yourself, what is this?

"Hey, this matter... Chairman Stokes, it's up to you!"

Long Hao pretended to be interrupted and reluctant, and compared hands with Stokes, who had just had a pleasant conversation just now.The gesture is explained by the big cow of the Royal Society.

In terms of academics, you must be humble!Long Hao understood this truth.

"Cough cough..."

Stokes was very sorry for 'disturbing' Long Hao's engagement ceremony, so he took on the responsibility of 'explaining': "It is like this, Mr. Long Hao came from the United States to me in the British "Nature" in July this year. "Magazine submitted a paper titled "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics: Two-Phase Properties of Microscopic Particles"..."

Stokes' language is concise and concise.It only took less than 3 minutes to tell the story of Long Hao's creation of quantum mechanics and the opening up of a new path in physics.

This made Long Hao, who was smiling humbly by the side, a little dissatisfied: This old man, the image he portrayed for me is too skinny?

But even so, whether it's the reporters or the nobles below, after listening to it, they all have the same expression: their mouths are wide open and they form an o!

Can nobles also publish papers?

The Earl of Beihai has extraordinary attainments in physics?

Orientals can also be a blockbuster on nature?

Is this Earl of Beihai a doctor?Or a professor?

……

Stokes' words completely overturned the impression of "nobles" in people's minds, and the reporters all thought: So the nobles are not all idiots!The nobles all thought: Thanks to this child.The idiot hat on our head can finally be taken off!

Of course, there are still reporters who have doubts. Someone bravely asked: "Professor Stokes, is this true? As far as I know, the age of the Earl of Beihai is not..."

"Foolishness!"

Although Stokes is very polite to Long Hao, he is very arrogant to these low-level people. I saw the beard on his cheeks trembling, and angrily said: "A great discovery in science. Do you have to use age to measure it?" Is it? After studying Mr. Long's paper, the Royal Society of Great Britain unanimously judged that this quantum theory is a new chapter in physics...Many of my colleagues, because of their admiration, have now arrived in the United States to visit Mr. Long , I stayed in London due to health reasons. I was regretting... but I never expected that Mr. Long came to England without a word. This fate is so wonderful, it is really God's arrangement!"

Stokes said the last, deeply emotional.He turned around and took Long Hao's hand: "Mr. Long..."

Long Hao was startled, and said to himself: This old man, don't talk about it on a whim, what kind of love has he discovered hidden in his body?Please, I don't like that bite!

"Mr. Long, since you have come to London, you must take the time to talk about quantum theory for us! I can see from your paper that you are still full of ideas, and many mysteries have not been revealed to us!" Stokes pleaded earnestly.

"Yes, Master Long must hold a lecture in England! The venue is Cambridge University!"

"Yes... For your size, the location is still at Oxford University, which is the origin of British science!"

"No, no, no, Oxford is no longer what it used to be, and cannot represent the highest level of the British Empire!"

"Fart your Cambridge, Oxford can't represent it, Cambridge can represent it? Don't forget, Cambridge defected from Oxford back then, you are traitors!"

As soon as the conversation started, before Long Hao nodded in agreement, the colleagues behind Stokes had already quarreled over the location of the speech. For a while, Long Hao wanted to speak, but found that he couldn't get in.

Stokes' face was flushed, and the roots of his two beards burst into flames. He roared: "Shut up! Shut up! You don't want to be ashamed. This kind of grievance is usually just a matter of quarreling, but now it's in the It’s embarrassing in front of Master Long! Etiquette, where is the etiquette that you usually cultivate? Oxford and Cambridge are one family, so it’s the same wherever you go to talk about it? Besides, what we care about is Master Long’s academic opinions, geographical Is the battle interesting?"

Stokes was so angry that his body trembled, and he swears so loudly that the few people who had been fighting with each other just now bowed their heads and slumped, and they dared not speak.

They are also members of the Royal Society, but some are from Oxford and some are from Cambridge. Cynicism on weekdays is commonplace for these professor-level figures, but I didn't expect this habit to be confiscated. It made Long Hao see the joke.

"This...Mr. Stokes!"

After Stokes' anger subsided, Long Hao found an opportunity to intervene easily: "There is no problem with the speech, but if you go to Cambridge or Oxford, it's too far away?"

"Well, it's a bit far away. However, Cambridge University and Oxford University have many students who worship Master Long. If you go, they will be overjoyed!" Stokes was taken aback, but he still hoped that Long Hao could go These two prestigious schools in the UK.

Bonus, the British students are overjoyed to have nothing to do with me!

Long Hao rolled his eyes in his stomach.But he said in embarrassment: "Hey, it's not that I don't want to go, it's because the schedule is too tight and I can't spare time!"

Ah, you still have a schedule?

Stokes was dumbfounded, and quickly asked in a low voice: "Master Long, may I ask, do you...do you have any arrangements?"

"According to the plan, after this engagement ceremony, I will leave the UK, because I am invited by my friends to go to France, Germany, Austria-Hungary and other countries to give a lecture on quantum mechanics in Europe!" Long Hao He said seriously: "Five days later, Paris, France is the first stop of this plan! No delay!"

"Five days..."

Stokes frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly punched his fist, stretched his eyebrows and said happily: "Look at my muddled head. It's all because of these bastards! This matter can be solved..."

Stokes pointed to those colleagues from Oxford and Cambridge, and said bitterly: "Master is short on time. Why do you want to go to Oxford and Cambridge? Our Royal Society has a lecture hall in London. If it is convenient for Master Long , please move tomorrow and give us a lecture on quantum mechanics! How about it?"

The last question turned to look at Long Hao.

This effect was what Long Hao wanted, so he pretended to think about it and readily agreed.And I announced to the reporters in the audience: Tomorrow, I will give a lecture on quantum mechanics to the public in the auditorium of the Royal Society!All fans are welcome to join us and come to correct us!

At the end of the engagement ceremony, both the host and the guest were very satisfied.Everyone is happy.

The reporters not only took a beautiful group photo of the Earl of Beihai and Princess Xianlu at the ceremony, but also got an extra big news after that!

The Earl of Beihai turned out to be a master scholar with super high attainments in physics!Even Professor Stokes respected him so much that he was invited to give a report to members of the Royal Society!

After seeing off Stokes and his party, Long Hao rubbed his chin and smiled with satisfaction: With the help of these scientists, I can go to European countries in a fair manner, and I will not be constrained by Queen Victoria. !

At the beginning of the evening glow, the setting sun slanted on the queen's spacious study (not the narrow one in the secret room, of course).

Behind the desk, Victoria is quietly holding a gold-rimmed black book. On the bridge of her nose is a pair of delicate, frameless glasses. The shape is avant-garde, far better than this smoky heavy industry era!

Seeing Long Hao coming in from the corner of the eye, Victoria put down her book, took off her rimless glasses, and said with a smile, "The earl is here, sit down! I like this pair of glasses very much. Thank your fiancée for me... Princess Xianlu !"

This pair of rimless glasses is the latest product of ZSS, and Melissa gave it to Her Majesty the Queen before the engagement ceremony.The small and cute shape, the streamlined and perfect frame, and the epoch-making design concept... this pair of glasses immediately conquered Victoria, making her, who never wears glasses, make an exception to wear them and read books.

"The queen's hosting made this engagement ceremony perfect. Melissa and I should be the ones thanking you!" Long Hao spoke very politely when facing the queen this time.

"Don't thank me..."

Victoria turned her face faster than a book. She put on a straight face, suppressed her smile, and hummed, "You made this ceremony perfect...well, I didn't see it, but you actually have the ability to invite Stokes to create momentum for you." Now, everyone in London knows that our Earl of the North Sea is a young genius physicist! Tomorrow, we will go to the Royal Society to preach to a group of old men!"

"Hey, I don't want to either. I don't get paid to give speeches, and it's hard work. It's better to sleep at home!"

Long Hao shrugged his shoulders and put on a helpless and innocent look: "But who told Mr. Stokes to be the former chairman of the Royal Society, with great influence... and brought a group of professors to the door directly. It makes me even want to keep a low profile! Offending them is equivalent to cutting off my career in academia? Do you understand my suffering, Queen?"

"I understand...I understand you garlic head!"

Victoria was annoyed, pointing at Long Hao and scolding: "You are a typical example of being cheap and acting like a good boy. Going to give a lecture at the Royal Society. This is an honor that no one can ask for. You make it seem like you are wronged." !By the way, didn’t you say that there is still a lecture tour in Europe, if you think it’s too much, then cancel all of them.”

"How can I do that! I promised my friend!" Long Hao's face changed feignedly: "People can't believe what they say!"

"Come on, I don't know you yet!"

Victoria sneered: "What friend, are you looking for an excuse to leave England? Why, I am so scary, the Earl wants to stay away from me so much?"

"hey-hey!"

Long Hao wiped the lower edge of his nose and said with a low smile, "Queen Huiruju, since you have exposed me, I will not hide it anymore... That's right, I want to leave England as soon as possible, but it's not because I'm afraid of the queen. Your Majesty... Moreover, the lecture tour is indeed true, and I really plan to promote the quantum theory I have studied so hard in the European continent!" (To be continued.)
