I was forced to be the captain of the ghost ship by mistake

Chapter 200 Photoelectric Effect
Friday, December 1492, 12.

There is no more special working day than today.

According to the memories of local people later, the weather in Göttinghagen was not too cold or hot that day, and the air was very fresh. There were even fewer steam cars on the street.

Although it was a working day, there were a lot more pedestrians on the street than usual. Thousands of students from two top universities in Göttinghagen occupied the main road in the central city.

They are the future pillars of this country, and the pillars are all waiting for a result at this moment.

Craftsmen and shopkeepers closed their businesses, and middle-class citizens put on their best clothes and waited outside the Royal Society building in Göttinghagen.

The workers refused to work overtime and took to the streets, the farmers stopped tilling the land, and even the small factory owners temporarily gave up the exploitation of laborers...

Everyone talked about the speed of light, electromagnetic waves, energy quanta, and Capet constant (Planck constant) with great interest. Recently, these professional words have frequently appeared in academic journals.

These are the latest in a series of academic achievements published by Tuf Capet in the core journals after the "Central City Paper" officially declared war on the physics community.

Although the citizens present did not know what these physics terminology represented or what their significance was, it did not prevent them from being concerned about national affairs.

Then make comments on this basis, so as to increase the resources for future after-dinner talks.

Originally, the incident that had been characterized in the newspapers recently, but because of the dying struggle of the freshman from the University of Michigan, it took a new turn for the matter.

Once the letter of challenge issued by Tu Fu was released, the whole country was shocked.

Because according to newspaper records, the list of invited guests is full of well-known figures in many fields in the Northern Continent, staunch Particle School, professors from the Seven Schools Alliance, and important figures from the Ministry of Education of various countries.

At this moment, countless citizens have surrounded the Royal Society building in the central city area, waiting for the latest news to leak out.

Suddenly, a violent commotion erupted in the crowd.

"The two deans of the University of Michigan, they actually came, and the rumors are true."

"Here, come, look, that's Landis's mission, and everyone from St. Nottingham's Academy of Sciences is here."

"The old jazz from Freer University in Bania is also here. He seems to be a wave faction. I'm afraid he came to help out."

"Look, that's the education ambassador of Ryan Kingdom."

"There are also the Salored Empire, Byzantium, Bonia... My God, all the famous scholars from the entire Northern Continent are here."

At this moment, I don't know how many people cheered.

Because most of the visitors come in the form of a group, and their teams will take the initiative to display the flag of their country, and they can recognize scholars from which country at a glance.

The group of scholars who came from afar were dressed in neat suits and ties, and their shiny leather boots shone brightly.

They are definitely the most representative civilized people in this world.

Countless scholars and professors from all over the world, regardless of whether they were invited by Tufu or not, have poured into Baia and Göttinghagen together with the big team in the past few days.

Not all of them came here to drag Tu Fu into the abyss. Among them were the Particle School and the Wave School, purely for the truth.

Regarding this point, it can be seen from their generally sparse heads.

At the beginning, Tu Fu never thought that it would cause such a big sensation, let alone that after the declaration of war, after publishing several core papers in a row, the whole thing would sweep across the whole of Göttinghagen uncontrollably.

Its popularity has already surpassed the king's perpetual motion machine,

Because of this, this matter is no longer subject to any human control, and it is developing in the most out-of-control and extreme direction.

Unknowingly, I have already stood on the top of the existing physics building in this era, holding a hammer in my hand, and then I only need to shake the hammer in my hand slightly,
It will be completely pushed to this building.

Now even if Prince William of the royal family wants to move him, he has to weigh it carefully.

"Cough cough..."

The old old Sir Daniel came with a cane, and his upright body made him look tough.

When the old jazz arrived at the entrance of the society in a steam car, when he looked at the high badge, some strange changes flashed in his cloudy eyes.

It happened too fast and too suddenly.

After I went to Leeds in the middle of the year to witness the double-slit experiment done by the little guy, the particle faction in the natural science community has been brooding, and is always ready to overthrow Tufu's theory.

The old jazz was well aware of the consequences of that experiment, which would annoy many people in the academic world, so he wanted to help that gifted child take part of the pressure.

It's a pity, after all, it can't resist the malice from the outside world.

"Sir Daniel, this way please."

After a waiter noticed the person coming, he immediately invited the Freer University delegation upstairs.

Many people came to the hall on the second floor of the society today, and they were scattered standing or sitting. People from different countries and factions formed their own small groups, discussing privately.

Sir Daniel researched and inspected slightly, and quickly came to a conclusion that the guests who came to the Royal Society in Göttinghagen were divided into two groups.

The people the kid invited in the newspaper were sorted aside.

And those guests who did not receive an invitation and came uninvited were placed on the other side.

It can also be simply divided into wave school and particle school.

"Mr. Jazz, I didn't expect you to come too."

A familiar and annoying voice sounded, it was Professor Charles Kane from Miska, whose research direction has nothing to do with this scientific research meeting.

It is purely out of the mentality of watching the excitement.

"An incompetent guy who can't even protect a child, it's better to send him to Freer back then.

It's just a rotten kingdom that will only dust off the aura of bright children, what the hell are you bastards trying to do. "

The old jazz used heavy words, and his tone seemed extremely angry.

Naturally, they had heard about the events these days, and this series of events could simply be called a "conspiracy" to drive that poor child into hell.

In his opinion, it was because of the incompetence of the senior officials of the University of Michigan that ruined a promising young genius.

"You've wronged me, Tu Fu chose it himself."

Professor Kane had a bitter look on his face, and it was hard to explain.

So far, they have only followed the request of that little guy Tu Fu. It is definitely not what the University of Michigan wants to see if the matter becomes so big, and it must not be what the royal family wants to see.

The old jazz just snorted, and didn't bother to talk nonsense to him.

Relying on his old qualifications, he insisted on taking a front row seat, and looked around, almost all of them were acquaintances.

There are Professor Edmund from Columbia University, Professor Mings from Petersburg, and Professor Brighton from Ryan. Regardless of whether they belong to the field of physics, they are all people who have some relationship with Tu Fu, and they are all assigned to the Wave School. .

What's interesting is that on the Particle School side, besides Professor Bastian, who is against Tufu, there are also the two deans of Miska's Academy of Natural Sciences and Academy of Biological Sciences.

This made them look out of place in the crowd.

When the guests gradually gathered, there was another exclamation from the crowd at the downstairs door.

"Look, that's the royal family's motorcade."

"It looks like Prince William is sitting in it."

At this time, a very graceful and luxuriously dressed person who is also the person behind the scenes who controls the overall situation finally appeared on the stage.

In fact, Prince William did not receive Tu Fu's list,
Because he himself was not on the list that Tu Fu submitted to the newspaper, Tu Fu would not openly confront the royal family.

Because the place where the war was declared was set up at the Royal Society of Göttinghagen, not to mention in the central city, but also out of selfishness, no matter how you think about it, Prince William has a good reason to come,
He was looking forward to witnessing how this man fell.

Soon after his appearance, Prince William was invited to the hall on the second floor by the waiter.

After the prince greeted everyone modestly, he consciously sat next to the Wave faction, which attracted the attention of many people and caused a burst of whispering.

This is not only his position, but probably also represents the position of the royal family.

In the entire lobby on the second floor, hundreds of people had already arrived in a short time. Scholars from all over the world were densely distributed everywhere, discussing with each other Tu Fu's works published in academic journals.

"Have you all read those papers published by Tuf Capet? It's related to optics. It's a great thing."

"Oh, he claimed that light is a kind of electromagnetic wave, and still insisted on the original view that light is a wave, but the new double-slit experiment shows that this is a mistake."

"This kid is simply crazy. What's the use of showing some new discoveries? Even if a hundred core papers are published, it doesn't mean that his double-slit experiment is a joke, and it still doesn't prove the nature of light."

After contacting the scholars of the two factions, they quarreled again in just a few words.

Just to verify who is walking on the path of truth, and whose brain is as decorative as a red-haired baboon,
And debate endlessly.

……

"It's almost time for people to come."

Tu Fu, who had arrived at the Royal Society ahead of schedule, held a few small devices in his hand, experimental equipment he had obtained through the channels of the University of Michigan and the Royal Society.

Before going out to face the crowd, Tu Fu tried to take a deep breath to calm down his inner tension.

After declaring war on the other party a few days ago, he has not stopped for a day, publishing journals, collecting equipment, and conducting experiments secretly. His inadvertent actions have stirred up the situation in the North Continent, and naturally he has to bear the consequences.

In order to wait for this day, he spent a lot of energy, betting on his fame and future,

Right or wrong, success or failure, all in one fell swoop.

This is more important than any experiment and speech. Once he wins, he will double what he lost in these days.

And Prince William's plan, if it fails, is at best a failure.

The two sides were not on the same starting line from the beginning.

The more this is the case, the more he will try his best to fight for this breath.

"Hello everyone, I'm very glad that all the seniors can give me this face. For this, I am very grateful."

After Tu Fu took out the experimental equipment from the backstage, he appeared at the front desk.

He put all the equipment on the table and looked directly at every visitor.

In the eyes of the guests, this Mr. Capet's gaze was extremely clear and calm. He seemed to have forgotten the humiliation he had suffered in the past. A child who was not even twenty years old was able to stand here safe and sound after going through so many things.

In front of countless seniors, he launched an attack on a mountain in the academic world,
This courage has been admired by countless people.

"Mr. Capet, are you doing another double-slit experiment?"

Noticing the equipment in his hands, some scholars from the particle faction stimulated him with sarcasm.

"In contrast, I prefer to call it the 'photoelectric effect' experiment."

Tu Fu arranged those things neatly one by one, a circular utensil connected by a metal ball and a metal rod, with two pieces of metal foil hanging in the middle.

This is a simple electroscope.

The other piece of experimental equipment is a layer of metal steel plate, the difference is that it is coated with a layer of zinc, and it is mostly used in the steam car manufacturing industry.
The third is the ultraviolet irradiation lamp, which has appeared in this world a long time ago.

Some scholars use bubble-free high-purity quartz glass to make quartz ultraviolet mercury lamps, which can also come in handy.

When Tu Fu mentioned the unfamiliar term "photoelectric effect", the scholars present looked puzzled. Even scholars in the field of physics did not understand what he wanted to do.

But seeing his serious actions, many people faintly realized that this young child was doing a very remarkable thing.

Tu Fu did not explain to them, nor did he start the experiment.

"Dear gentlemen, please forgive my behavior..."

He first apologized in his heart to the gods of physics, including Fizeau, Thomas Young, James Clerk Maxwell, Max Planck, and Albert Einstein.

Confess sincerely in your heart what you are about to commit.

After a period of absolute silence, some fragmentary voices appeared from below,
The guests began to wait impatiently.

After the confession, Tu Fuliao suddenly became enlightened, with a smile on his face. He raised his hand and used a watercolor pen to write a few very ordinary letters on the panel.

It looks like,

An unremarkable formula.

"E=hv"
