CHAPTER XXI

In Berlin at the beginning of September, the weather was quite pleasant.

It was one of the fastest growing cities at the end of the 19th century, and not so long ago it was ridiculed by London and Parisians as a small town in the countryside, but it seems that in the blink of an eye, the capital of Germany is inflated like a balloon. And with the victory of the Franco-Prussian War, the unification of the German Empire, and the overall rise of German education, science and technology, and industry, the city's reputation has become more and more resounding, and it has become one of the world's supercities along with New York in the United States.

Somewhere in a quiet part of the city of Berlin, stands a manor.

The area is not very large, but it is very exquisite, the garden is very beautifully kept, and the three-storey main building does not seem so conspicuous from the outside, but only after entering will you know how comfortable this manor is to live in......

This is the Huntelaar estate.

Since John and Anna left Europe and returned to the United States, the Huntelaar estate has been completely idle. However, with the Brists in Berlin, the estate was naturally well cared for, until more than two months ago when they welcomed back their owner, Johann ? Huntelaar and Anna? Huntelaar. The return of the servants who remained at Brister Manor brought the place back to its popularity almost instantly.

Soon the Huntelaar estate became the focus of attention of many interested people in Berlin.

That amazing American is back!

Yes, John? The name Huntelaar has become synonymous with magic in the hearts of many people, because in the past two years, General Motors' cars have become synonymous with high society, H&B company's shampoo, soap and various perfumes have become the fashion that ladies compete to chase, as for the more magical Heinz pharmaceutical company, needless to say, aspirin and sulfonamides have ruled almost the entire European continent except France, and the cholera epidemic in Hamburg has made truckloads of sulfonamides with certain effects frantically transported everywhere. As for Heinz Medical Devices. Just look at Baron Cole's countless regrets about taking shares in the stainless steel factory.

Throughout Germany, companies bearing the mark of Huntelaar have almost swelled into a consortium!

In addition to his vast assets, the surname Huntelaar is equally well-known in the medical and physical communities, especially the latter, whose two papers a few months ago instantly put him in the spotlight......

……

Sitting on a comfortable sofa in the living room, the director of the estate, John? Mr. Huntelaar was in a somewhat irritable mood at this time. In a very stiff tone, he said to a middle-aged man opposite: "I'm sorry, Mr. Bruno, please apologize to Mr. Helmholtz on my behalf!" And at the same time, I want to reiterate that I am a physician, maybe a medical scientist, but definitely not a physicist! ”

"But sir......

The anxious middle-aged man opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

"Hear me out, Mr. Bruno!"

His brow furrowed. John's voice instantly became a little harsh: "It's my personal hobby to do some physics experiments outside of work, but that's just a hobby, so whether it's radioactivity or electrons, I'll finish everything about them in my paper!" ”

John was genuinely annoyed by the stalker, Mr. Bruno.

This is the third time that the other party has come to harass...... No, John was invited to a physics seminar, which annoyed John, who wanted to be quiet for a while. If it weren't for the big guy behind the guy in front of him, John would have ordered the servants not to let him in - this guy was Helmholtz's assistant anyway. John couldn't go too far. But again, John doesn't give too much of the other side. What happened to the bigwigs in physics? He wasn't going to change careers. I don't even plan to continue publishing papers on physics, so I don't need to give face to any physicist.

The culprit of everything, of course, is still those two papers.

If a few months ago the physics community was mostly skeptical about natural radioactivity and electrons, as more and more physicists in Europe and North America complete experiments and find credible evidence, people have begun to accept these two physical phenomena that were "discovered" by a single surgeon. So when John came to Berlin. After the news of his stay at his estate leaked, before his old friends from Charlotte Hospital came to his door, physicists came to the door or sent invitations to discuss related issues with him.

Discussing physics with physicists, John certainly didn't have that interest.

Although when he first arrived in Berlin, John had some ideas. He even "studied" physics and chemistry, but after a long time, he realized that it does not mean that people in the future will be able to do everything more than 100 years ago. The medical field is fine, after all, he studied this profession, and he can adapt quickly with a little effort, but physics and chemistry are very difficult. Even if the cutting-edge knowledge of this era is at the level of junior high school and high school knowledge in the future, don't forget that what he learned at the beginning is the most basic theoretical knowledge after all, and it is far from enough to become a scientist!

So after releasing these two papers, John made up his mind not to continue to mix.

But the influence of radioactivity and electron theory is so great that physicists in London and Berlin are eager to talk to him. Ordinary people John can naturally ignore it and let the servants keep people out of the door, but some influential people, such as the real scientific giant Mr. Helmholtz, has a huge reputation in Germany, so he still has to deal with it......

After Mr. Bruno left disappointed, Anna walked briskly into the living room: "John, lunch is ready...... Hey? Mr. Bruno left? ”

"Hmm...... It's annoying! ”

The irritable John waved his hand and said in a dull tone.

Walking to her husband's side, Anna thoughtfully took his arm and smiled: "Actually, you can't blame Mr. Bruno, he was just on Mr. Helmholtz's orders...... I think he's pathetic. You don't have anything important to do at home right now, anyway, so why don't you talk to the physicists? ”

Anna is also very proud of her husband's achievements in physics, and of course hopes that John's fame will be as great as possible.

Merely......

It's a pity that she doesn't know that John is just a half-ass, it's okay to write two papers with the memories of his previous life, if he really discusses it with others, he will drop the chain in minutes!

After a few casual remarks to his wife, John got up and went to the dining room with Anna.

There were only two Huntelaar and his wife at the table, but the chef prepared two different portions. Anna was still as German would have done, but John had two stir-fried dishes and a bowl of rice in front of her. Since he hired the Chinese chef, the family has been eating Chinese food more and more, to the point where Anna has to choose to have the servants prepare two servings.

Just as John was contentedly enjoying the delicious sweet and sour tenderloin, the butler suddenly walked briskly into the dining room: "Sir, I just received a telegram to you, from a hamburger. You once said that you must be notified of a telegram from Hamburg as soon as you ......" (To be continued. )
