    The teachers and students arrived in San Francisco in late June. After a short rest, they rushed to the University of California, Berkeley, to visit Professor John Martin.

    In addition to the courtesy visit, Sun Yuanqi also has another purpose, which is to leave one or two students to follow Professor Martin to participate in the topic of "Radioactive Decay Model", so that students can have the closest contact with the world's science and technology.  At the forefront, it will bring a smooth sail for the future scientific development of the motherland.

    Hearing that Sun Yuanqi was visiting, Professor Martin came to the school gate early to wait for him, and even put on a formal suit and tie, which was rare.  After hugging and exchanging greetings, Professor Martin rubbed his hands in excitement and smiled happily like a child: "Yank, you are finally here! You know, I look forward to this day coming earlier every year, even more eagerly than my children look forward to Christmas.  ! Professor Rutherford and I encountered some problems in our research and were about to ask you for advice!"

    "Thank you! I think I will stay here for a while and discuss these issues with you." Sun Yuanqi also said with a smile, "But before that, I have one more thing to trouble you, that is, I hope you can allow me  Students will stay here and serve as your assistants to participate in the research."

    "No problem!" Professor Martin agreed. "They can stay, and I will apply for a salary as an assistant researcher for them. Since they are your students, Yank, I believe their performance will surprise everyone."

    Sun Yuanqi bowed his hands towards Professor Martin and expressed his gratitude in an oriental manner: "Thank you so much! Don't worry, my students are much smarter than me!"

    "That would be great!" Professor Martin laughed.

    "After the working conditions of our Jingshi University improve, you and your students are also welcome to come and exchange work!" Sun Yuanqi did not forget to promote his school and extended an olive branch to Professor Martin.

    ¡°Okay, I will definitely go when the time comes.¡± Professor Martin happily accepted the invitation.

    As the two walked towards the school, Sun Yuanqi said: "I have been away from the United States for nearly a year, and I am a little unfamiliar with the current research trends - as you know, the Far East is a bit backward after all, and the information is not that well-informed. If it's not troublesome, you can  Can you give me a general introduction?"

    As a practical scientific researcher, he will spend half of his working time in the laboratory, and the other half of his time reading relevant papers and documents to ensure that he can keep abreast of the research progress of his peers.  The diligent Professor Martin was no exception. When Sun Yuanqi asked about it, he immediately introduced it to Sun Yuanqi with his fingers: "If you want to talk about the biggest thing in the scientific world from last year to this year, it naturally has something to do with you and me. That's what you proposed.  Light has wave-particle duality, and I was fortunate enough to prove it through experiments. This result ranked first among the top ten scientific news in the world in 1902, and was even selected into the top ten news in the United States."

    Sun Yuanqi smiled and said: "We have an old saying in China, 'Knowing is difficult, but doing it is difficult.' It means that it is easy to know, but very difficult to do. Therefore, this achievement is mainly due to you."

    Professor Martin mentioned several more items, including the publication of Gibbs' "Fundamental Principles of Statistical Mechanics" and so on.

    Sun Yuanqi pretended to be unintentional and asked casually: "You have proved the assertion I mentioned in the article "Photoelectric Effect: From Phenomenon to Essence". Is it true that the academic community has begun to be dubious about my other papers, and the intensity of criticism is less than before?  A lot?"

    Professor Martin nodded: "Yes, I still remember that there was a review in the issue of Science that published your paper, criticizing your theory as 'completely untenable'. As a result, only three years later, the experiment proved that you  It is correct. So now when everyone reads your paper, they will be cautious, at least they will not dare to make arbitrary claims based on subjective assumptions. In addition, there should be many researchers interested in your paper and starting to actively carry out research!"

    Sun Yuanqi felt something in his heart and asked hurriedly: "Oh? What papers are they?"

    Professor Martin thought for a while and said: "Generally speaking, your paper on atomic structure is of most interest to everyone. In more than a year, it is estimated that hundreds of related research articles have been published; followed by those on nuclear reactions, there are also  There are dozens of articles; as for the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics, ordinary researchers may not be able to read them, let alone be interested in them. However, the famous German scientist Max Planck has written several articles and agrees with some of the views in your article."

    Sun Yuanqi felt relieved.  But when I thought about it again, I felt that I was too suspicious: Not to mention that neutrons had just been discovered by myself and Professor Martin not long ago, and everyone¡¯s understanding of neutrons was still in the ignorant stage; nor would the scientific community be able to do so in a while.  No stable neutron source can be found; even the idea of ??building a cyclotron accelerator is only available in Chinese, in Europe and the United States.The president of the association, Sam Pike, was among the many people around. As for the professors and students, they were countless.

    According to usual practice, Sun Yuanqi will report to the school the next day on the work of the element laboratory last year, and plan scientific research plans for the future.  In the past year, the laboratory successfully completed the discovery and determination of the new element "protactinium", and all participants were naturally delighted.  Sun Yuanqi also struck while the iron was hot and said: "Since 1900, the laboratory has successively discovered three new elements: radon, lutetium and protactinium, and has made a series of achievements, which have attracted the attention of the international scientific community. In the new working year, our goal will be  Study the cyclotron!"

    Sure enough, Newman, the chairman of the professors' association, pretended to be writing furiously, Parker, the president of the alumni association, had an expressionless face, and Mr. McCall, the principal, was playing with the cigar in his hand.

    After a long while, Mr. McCall looked at Sun Yuanqi: "Oh, cyclotron, I think it should be a scientific instrument. But, what does it have to do with the element laboratory?" (To be continued.
