【292】Planck(1/2)
In short, the positive effect caused by this news is far greater than the negative, and the entire Stanford campus is boiling. Every teacher and every student tell the news. They all have a warm and proud smile on their faces: they chose Stanford at the time.
, Huh... My choice is indeed correct!
When Max Planck heard the news, he was doing an experiment in the School of Physics at Stanford University. When he confirmed that Master Long Haolong was really back, he jumped up and almost knocked over the beaker next to him!
(By the way, Planck's experiment was conducted as a thermal field experiment that was connected to physics and chemistry.)
Planck is 34 years old, the most important age in his life for scientific researchers. Before he came to the United States, he originally worked in Berlin under the guidance of Helmholtz (the founder of the law of conservation of energy), but he was a Long Hao.
The article "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics - Dual Phase of Microscopic Particles" was published in Nature, which caused a small sensation, Planck involuntarily stopped Rikirkhof (a German physicist who once proposed that current and voltage were two.
The work left over from a famous law) was read over and over again, and the article "Broken Window" (Stokes) that even the magazine "nature" could not qualitatively evaluate.
This original "Planck Constant" proposer in history immediately fell into the wonderful and innovative idea of "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics". Planck felt that this physicist named Long must be himself
Your confidant must be his mentor, and he must have been his good friend in his previous life!
Otherwise, why did every word he said seemed to hit his heart, and every word he said seemed to have appeared in a hazy and mysterious way in his dream?
The deviled Planck resolutely resigned from the Prussian Academy of Sciences, which was envied by German scientists, despite the retention of his mentor Helmholtz, who was already in a serious state of illness. He was also attracted by Long Hao and quantum mechanics.
Physicists, who took a steamship, arrived in the United States, San Francisco, and the unknown Stanford University!
There is no need to mention the ups and downs in the middle. Anyway, the journey was difficult, and even the travelers died.
Planck was one of the first scientists to arrive at Stanford. After he expressed his purpose, he was immediately arranged to enter the high-end scholar building.
At that time, chemists, including Planck, could hardly believe their eyes: Is such a beautiful villa for us to live in? There is also a building for each person? There is also a servant?
How rich and rich is this Stanford University?
In those developed cities in Europe, villas of this level are often owned by a wealthy man of millions. Planck is considered to be a good person among the 12 people, but in Berlin, he also rented a house with a colleague.
Although the three-bedroom house is not crowded, it is definitely not spacious!
Fortunately, these scientists are the ones who have the absolute advantage in rational thinking. After they were surprised, combined with the remoteness of Paraartou, Stanford's reputation was not obvious. Finally, they barely accepted Stanford's "gift".
They comforted themselves: Anyway, there are at least a hundred villas like this, and most of them are empty. We can also add popularity to them when we stay!
But even so, the physicists who studied materials knocked inside and outside the villa for a long time and finally decided that regardless of the price of the land, just the materials and carvings of the villa, a "scholar building" would cost at least 8,000 yuan.
GBP!
That's $40,000!
That is the total salary of Planck, the highest paid out of 12 people, in 30 years!
Good-nice. I don’t dare to sleep well tonight. If I break the furniture, floors, walls, etc., what should I do if Stanford University asks us to compensate?
After Planck, several groups of scientists moved into the Scholar Building one after another.
After getting used to it, these scientists who have been interested in research as their lifelong hobbies (not such people. They will not crazily cross the ocean to the United States, the barbarian land of Europe) have devoted themselves to the search for Master Long, and they should
Zhilonghao had already gone to Europe and just got along with them. All scientists, including Planck, lamented repeatedly, and a few people turned around and left, preparing to pack up their things and return to Europe.
It’s good that the main owner is not here and it’s still delayed in this scenery, but what is the school doing in a pasture?
However, most people still thought calmly for a while and did not act with those people.
Why?
The reason is very simple. The money in their pockets is basically empty, and they can't even get the travel expenses back!
It is normal to think about it. These "passionate" scientists are all new generations like Planck, aged 25 to 40, and Mesozoic, who are not at high positions in their respective schools and colleges of science, and have heavy academic papers.
Not released, so their savings will not be much greater than that of a middle-class European worker.
Besides, most of them ran away this time or resigned. The salary for one or two months was cut off. It was already quite difficult to reach America safely. If you want to turn around, you will leave, except for a few people with wealthy families.
Outside, no one else can do it.
You can't swim back to Europa with your shirtlessness?
At this embarrassing moment when the scientists were in a dilemma and wanted to leave but stay, our Rong Shangqin appeared. He first told the scientists that Long Hao's trip to Europe was just a short-term behavior and he would not take long to go back to Para.
Picture, what if you leave now and the journey is so far, what if it collapses again?
Secondly, he told scientists not to worry about losing their jobs in Europe. On behalf of the Stanford School Board, he patted his chest to everyone present: As long as you are willing, Stanford University will pay a premium of one times as much as your original job's salary.
Hire you, and Stanford University will equip you with the experimental equipment, research funds, and work assistants you need according to international first-class standards. It will definitely be better than your original working environment and will not be worse!
If you are not at ease, as long as you sign an agreement to not leave the United States within half a year, Stanford University can give you $3,000 each on the spot as living expenses within half a year!
In a word, Rong Shangqin promises as much as his conditions are favorable!
Although I don’t know much about what “international first-class standards” (in this era, standards have not been unified in the whole world yet). However, Rong Shangqin’s sincere attitude was still recognized by Planck and others, so apart from a few people, he was determined to return.
The rest of European scientists chose to work at Stanford University.
Just taking money and not working is not in line with the three views of these researchers. With their very positive views, they all gave up the $3,000 that they can get.
Yes, of course it's easy to get it. If you take the money, as long as you don't leave San Francisco and take the train to New York, what can Stanford do to you?
The US agreement will never be extended to Europe at this time.
So Planck began his career at Stanford University.
Rong Shangqin's promise was quickly fulfilled. Planck's annual salary was set at $3,500. This money had already been paid in advance to the passbook opened by the school for Planck. The only restriction is: every withdrawal is not allowed.
If it exceeds US$50, if it exceeds it, you must report to the school board.
Planck understands Stanford University's "not grand enough" small clamping, after all, they have expressed their intention to return if they can't see Master Long. This constraint is also human nature.
Because in Planck's eyes, $3,500 is not a small amount.
But within a week, Planck felt that his idea seemed to be wrong: $3,500 seemed to be a puny little money in the eyes of the generous Stanford school board.
Well, let's start from the beginning.
Planck was still very satisfied with his first week of teaching life. After several years, he stood on the university teaching stand again, facing students in four colors: white, yellow, red and black (mostly white people are still white).
, Chinese people followed) teach physics and look at his eyes that are eager for knowledge. He seemed to suddenly return to the era of studying in Munich...
Two classes every morning and two classes in the afternoon, and there is a canteen that can be eaten and full at noon. Planck even tried it. As long as he showed his nameplate of the "Scholar Building", the master of the canteen would take the initiative to fry two meat dishes.
, served with two poached eggs and a cup of pure milk.
"You are a great scholar. This steak, Kung Pao chicken, eggs and milk are all provided for free!"
The master is Chinese, but he speaks English very smoothly. His honest and simple smile makes Planck unforgettable for his whole life.
In his later years, Planck would say in his oral memoirs: "Why did I settle in China? It's funny because a Chinese chef once said something to me, which still makes me remember it fresh!"
At that time, the master laughed and said, "Your head is much more expensive than those of us, so we need to supplement more nutrition! Master Long said that the future of the world must be explored by you, and the happiness of ordinary people must be done by you.
Creation! Haha, I'm stupid, it seems like this is the original words, I should be right, hahaha..."
Planck was shocked at the time and the knife and fork fell on the table: How much should Master Long, who is in the chef's mouth, value us researchers?
Afterwards, Planck learned that "Master Long" was "Master Long". His confidant's feelings of admiration became even more and more difficult to suppress.
In addition to eating, Planck saw Stanford University's big deal in the second week.
Planck belongs to, or is rated at the School of Physics at Stanford University. Planck was busy getting familiar with life and teaching work for the first week. In addition to reporting and signing, he walked a few trips at the School of Physics, and occupied the land at Stanford University.
The largest academy was not very impressed.
Ah, by the way, when he first arrived at Stanford, he went in and watched the famous bold radiation experiment.
In order to commemorate Long Hao (Long Hao shouted: Hello, I haven't hung up yet!), the bold radiation experiment has now become a signature program of the School of Physics. Every guest who comes to visit always watch this Long at the first stop.
Hao's famous experiment.
The laboratory located in the most conspicuous position of the School of Physics, students tirelessly repeat the bold radiation experiments for 16 hours a day, so that visitors can repeat the steps again and again in the School of Physics...
Planck walked into the School of Physics on the first day of the second week because the dean told him that the lab that the board of directors promised him was ready and asked him to come for acceptance.
To be honest, Planck was quite surprised by this. In Planck's view, the promise of Rong Shangqin's "International First-class Standard" should be a half-bad check. Even if it is to be fulfilled, it will have to be at least half a year, or even once.
After the year.
Planck now can have three free meals and live in a millionaire villa. He has $3,500 in his passbook. He still retains the hope of meeting his idol Master Dragon. He is already quite satisfied!
His lab?
Planck curled his lips and smiled slightly. If he could have half of his laboratory in the Prussian Academy of Sciences... no, one-third would be fine, he would be satisfied.
After all, the top high-tech equipment is produced in Europe. It is almost the same for the United States to process daily food, and when it comes to experimental equipment... they probably can only process 30 times microscopes?
Just as Planck was secretly enjoying his little humor, the dean had already led him into a large room that was so spacious that it could be used to play basketball (well, basketball was invented last year in 1891), and the door was standing at the door.
There were five young people, and behind them were a large row of densely packed physical experimental instruments.
There are the most basic mechanical table scales, precision balances, beakers, measuring cylinders, test tubes, twist scales, long and short pliers...
There are also more advanced spectrophotometers, turbidity meters, whiteness meters, ultraviolet analyzers, optical stress meters, sugar Abet instruments...
In addition to small instruments, large instruments are also placed behind them!
For example, shock incubator, mold incubator, high-speed crusher, centrifuge...
In addition to large instruments, Planck, who was almost shocked, also discovered a high-end precision instrument that even the Prussian Academy of Sciences was reluctant to buy!
This big iron cabinet that is two people tall. When Planck saw it, he rushed up as if he had met a lover who had been separated for two lifetimes, and touched its cold surface affectionately: "Oh, I've met you again, since then
