Expedition to Europe

Albert Einstein.

Even if people have no interest in science, people in the 21st century may have heard of this name.

As the greatest scientist of the 20th century, Einstein's theory of relativity and his contribution to the development of nuclear energy make it no exaggeration to call him the "Great Man of the Century". If Nikola Tesla is called a "God" in the field of invention, then Einstein's status in the field of theoretical physics is unmatched.

After seeing Einstein's application, Qin Zhiyuan immediately put the Tokyo Earthquake behind him and ordered Lanfang Imperial University to make full preparations to receive Einstein.

Einstein's current popularity is not as well-known as it was in the 21st century, but Qin Zhiyuan knows Einstein's value. It is precisely because of Qin Zhiyuan's special attention that Lanfang Imperial University submitted Einstein's request to Qin Zhiyuan in time.

This "request" has a certain background.

Einstein was born in a Jewish family. Before he became famous, Einstein lived in Italy and Switzerland, and obtained Swiss citizenship in 1901. In 1913, before the World War, 34-year-old Einstein returned to Germany and was appointed by German Emperor Wilhelm II as the director of the Berlin Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Physics and a professor at Berlin Humboldt University, and was elected as a member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences.

If there had been no World War, perhaps Einstein would have lived in Germany. The World War changed the fate of many people, and Einstein was one of them.

As a staunch pacifist, Einstein opposed war. Although he was in the birthplace of war and surrounded by war advocates, Einstein firmly expressed his anti-war attitude.

After the outbreak of World War in 1914, the German scientific and cultural circles, under the manipulation and instigation of militarists, issued the "Declaration of the Civilized World", defending the aggressive war launched by Germany, advocating that Germany was above everything else, and the whole world should accept the "true German spirit".

Ninety-three people signed this "Declaration", all of whom were prestigious scientists, artists, and pastors in Germany at the time. Even Nernst, Roentgen, Ostwald, Planck, etc. signed on it.

When Einstein was asked to sign, he flatly refused. At the same time, Einstein resolutely signed his name on the anti-war "Letter to Europeans".

After the end of the World War, Einstein finally walked out of the attic where he lived and ran around to try to normalize Franco-German relations.

This again aroused the disgust of some Germans.

You must know that in Germany today, many Germans do not think that Germany's failure was on the battlefield, but because of the betrayal of the civilian group in the rear. Einstein, who has always opposed the war during the war, has become a thorn in the eyes of some people.

It is really an absurd fact that those who start the war do not need to bear the responsibility for the war, but those who oppose the war are responsible for the failure of the war.

But this is the reality. At the end of last year, Einstein received death threats from some radicals, so Einstein began to "travel around the world".

From the end of last year to now, Einstein has visited Colombo, Singapore, Hong Kong and Shanghai.

It is obvious that Lanfang is Einstein's next stop.

Qin Zhiyuan welcomed Einstein's visit with both hands. In the 21st century, almost everything about Einstein is connected with the United States, but in the 1920s, Einstein and the United States did not have much intersection. Einstein visited the United States for the first time the year before last, and was awarded the Barnard Medal at Columbia University, received by President Harding at the White House, and gave four lectures on relativity during his visits to Chicago, Boston and Princeton.

This was the first time that Einstein was connected with the United States, so Lan Fang was not without opportunities.

Compared with the United States across the ocean, it seems that Lan Fang is more attractive to Einstein. As early as the Foreign Legion period, Qin Zhiyuan's name was frequently associated with Jews. After Lan Fang was established, Lan Fang became the only refuge for Jews in the world. As long as Jews choose to join Lan Fang nationality, they will not be excluded or persecuted in Lan Fang as long as they do not do anything that harms Lan Fang. Jews have the same social status as Chinese.

This is simply heaven for Jews who have been abandoned by the whole society in Europe.

After Britain opened Palestine to the Jews, the connection between Lan Fang and the Jews became closer. Even in Jerusalem, the Lan Fang army had become the protector of the Jews. It was because of the existence of the Lan Fang army that the Jews could obtain an independent residential area in New Jerusalem. Einstein would definitely not be unfamiliar with these things.

Judging from Einstein's life trajectory, Einstein was not opposed to immigration.

In the history that Qin Zhiyuan knew, Einstein was born in Germany, but later went to live in Italy, and then became a Swiss citizen when he became an adult. Later, during his visit to the United States, Einstein's residence in Berlin was burned down by extremists, so Einstein chose to become an American citizen.

If Qin Zhiyuan had not appeared, Einstein would have become an American citizen in 1933.

It is estimated that it will not be delayed until that time. Qin Zhiyuan has decided that as long as Einstein comes to Lan Fang, he will ask William III to help burn Einstein's house. Even if William III does not do it, Qin Zhiyuan will send Lan Fang agents to go, even if he sends a commando from his homeland to Berlin.

For a scientist of Einstein's level, Qin Zhiyuan can do everything.

In fact, Einstein had many acquaintances at Lan Fang Imperial University. Michelle and Sandy had dealt with Einstein when they were in France. As a Nobel Prize winner, Einstein maintained good relations with many people. Now was the time to play the relationship card, so Qin Zhiyuan specially prepared a family dinner for Michelle and Sandy to discuss how to receive Einstein.

"State guest standard? Is it too high?" After hearing Qin Zhiyuan's arrangement, Michelle, even though he was a little politically dull, could feel the unusualness.

The Lan Fang government has a series of regulations on reception. "State guest" is the highest standard, usually applicable to the level of national leaders. Qin Zhiyuan is going to use the standard of receiving "state guests" to receive Einstein, which is indeed a bit out of line.

"Compared to Albert's achievements, he deserves this treatment." Qin Zhiyuan wanted to use high standards to show the Lan Fang government's emphasis on talents.

"Albert's achievements are certainly worthy of it, and Albert will definitely have a brighter future. But if we do this, will it arouse the vigilance of other countries?" Michelle and Einstein are old friends. Michelle feels proud of Qin Zhiyuan's affirmation of Einstein, but Michelle also knows Lan Fang's "Talent Plan". In Michelle's opinion, entertaining Einstein with such a high standard will definitely affect other countries' attention to talents, and then affect Lan Fang's "Talent Plan".

The original text is in Liu # 9 @Book/Bar!

In Qin Zhiyuan's plan, Lan Fang will introduce 100,000 talents from all walks of life every year in the next ten years, whether scientists or skilled workers, which is part of Qin Zhiyuan's "Talent Plan".

"It should be, but at the same time it will attract the interest of more scientists. In Lan Fang, they can get everything they could not get before, a stable living environment, generous welfare benefits, and an almost unlimited personal development platform. Who can resist such a temptation?" In front of Michelle and Sandy, Qin Zhiyuan did not hide anything.

"Yes, that's right. Even if only one out of ten people who heard about this took action, it would be a victory for us Lan Fang." Misha interrupted.

Normally, Misha rarely speaks, but because today she is talking to her family, Misha is obviously a little excited.

"In this case, our plan must be modified to a certain extent. The reception dinner venue can only accommodate 300 people. If we use the specifications of "state guests", it will definitely not be enough. The venue for the speech must also be re-determined. The original venue is indeed a bit small." Michel is the president of Lan Fang Imperial University. It is Michel's job to receive Einstein.

If Einstein wants to visit Lan Fang Imperial University, he must give one or two speeches on "Relativity". This is the process that has been determined.

When determining the reception standards before, Michel prepared according to the standards of "VIPs". This is the standard for the Lan Fang government to receive important people who have made special contributions in certain professional fields. Einstein originally belonged to this level. Now Qin Zhiyuan wants to raise the standards, so Michel's plan must also be adjusted accordingly.

Different reception standards must have different specifications. Take a simple welcome banquet as an example. Generally speaking, if it is to welcome an important person at the "VIP" level, the head of the corresponding government agency will be present. For example, at the welcome dinner for Einstein, Michel originally expected the highest official to attend was Minister of Science and Culture Portlem, but if it was at the "state guest" level, then Lu Zhengxiang would definitely attend, and even Qin Zhiyuan himself would attend, so a larger banquet hall would be needed.

"Modify what needs to be modified. If the existing facilities are not enough, then a temporary one can also be built, and even an open-air venue can be considered, so there is no need to worry about insufficient space." Qin Zhiyuan is not worried about these problems, and the ideas he put forward are also quite novel.

Lanfang has a good climate all year round, and April is the best weather of the year. An open-air venue may not seem respectful, but if Lu Zhengxiang or Qin Zhiyuan participates, then the meaning is immediately different.

"Well, if that's the case, then there is no problem here." Michel must be happy to see Qin Zhiyuan raise the reception standards for Einstein.

Although he is now the president of Lan Fang Imperial University and has strictly speaking become an official, Michel is still a university professor at heart.

The most orthodox kind of professor.
