Early the next morning, Chen Muwu sat in the coffee room of Cangzhou Hotel [1], ordered a cup of coffee and a few refreshments, and waited for the arrival of reporter Zhao of the "Declaration" hall.

It seems that in this era, coffee has not flowed into the blood of the people of the sea as in later generations, because there is no Chinese in the entire café except him.

It has been almost two months since I crossed over to the people's country, and basically everything is going according to Chen Muwu's plan.

More than two months ago, Chen Muwu, who failed to stay in school, was just a fresh Ph.D. in nuclear physics who never let go of every campus job fair, and he began to be anxious every day from the moment he opened his eyes, what did he want to do after graduation, did he really want to enter the nuclear power plant and follow in the footsteps of Homer Simpson?

Unexpectedly, as soon as he woke up, he inexplicably traveled to a hundred years ago and obtained his current identity.

Although he got a job from heaven, Chen Muwu never wanted to be a small clerk in the Railway Administration for the rest of his life.

Because he is familiar with the trend of history, he knows how chaotic the future will be, domestic warlords are fighting, and Waben invaded Shanghai twice......

What's more, in a small city of the sea, there are foreigners, ruffians, hooligans, the Qinghong Gang, and the White Demolition Party...... All kinds of forces are singing and I will appear, and it is too difficult for him to survive in the troubled times.

Take the North Railway Station building where the Railway Administration is located as an example, it was bombed by devils once on January 28, and again by devils on August 13.

These bitches are really his mother's stuff!

Chen Muwu, who was anxious to change the status quo, accidentally read the newspaper in the office when he found such a news published in the "Minyuan Daily" that day.

"Dr. Enstein Comes to Shanghai and West News": "The "Mainland Daily" cloud, Dr. Enstein, who invented the theory of relativity, took the Kitano Maru to Shanghai yesterday and will give a speech. …… Early this morning, the doctor still took Kitanomaru to Kobe, intending to stay in Wa for seven weeks and then come to Nakyoyun. ”

Chen Muwu immediately realized that this news was a great opportunity for him.

Write a paper that Einstein would be interested in, get a letter of recommendation from him, and make sure that the paper will be published in a European physics journal without fail.

In this way, even if he has established contact with the world's top physicists, he will be able to write a paper on the physics knowledge stored in his brain that is 100 years ahead of the world, and it will be much easier to publish it.

This is why Chen Muwu had to make an astonishing statement at yesterday's discussion, he had to attract Einstein's attention before he could hand over his written paper.

As for why I had to get Einstein's recommendation?

Because as he said to Albert Einstein yesterday, if there is no celebrity endorsement, and the paper is sent to Europe single-handedly, those reviewers who look down on people will throw the letter directly into the wastebasket as long as they see that the postmark on the letter is from China, and they will not even look at the content of the letter.

The prejudice engraved in their bones told them that even if one day, the monkeys typed out the Complete Works of Shakespeare on a typewriter, the backward feudal, ignorant and ignorant Oriental barbarians would not be able to express any high ideas about physics.

This is not because Chen Muwu is alarmist, because it was the arrogance of Westerners that caused the Chinese to miss the first Nobel Prize in physics in the thirties.

In 1930, Zhao Zhongyao published two papers of great significance in succession, but because of the inconsistency between the experimental results and those made by Europeans, they were directly ignored by the mainstream of physics.

Although it was later proved that only Zhao Zhongyao's experimental results were the most correct and reliable, it was already useless.

If it weren't for Zhao Zhongyao's students Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao running around after winning the award and becoming famous, and correcting their teacher's name, I am afraid that until today, Zhao Zhongyao and his experiments are still buried in the long river of history like pearls in the sea.

It was from this public case in later generations that Chen Muwu knew how much the European academic community looks down on the Chinese today.

Zhao Zhongyao's grievances occurred in the thirties, and he is now in the twenties, and white people in Europe and the United States will only look down on him now than they will look down on ten years later.

But I can't help but deal with them, after all, white people still hold the right to academic discourse, and if they want to enter the physics world, Europe is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.

Therefore, Chen Muwu used the experience he learned from the old-timers of the Westernization Movement to raze and raze, and used Einstein's letter of recommendation as a stepping stone to attract those reviewers who had no one in their sights.

In time, when I make a name for myself in the physics community, I must set up a physics journal in pure Chinese, and let those ghosts also experience how painful it is to learn a foreign language, or the most difficult language in the world.

It was determined that he wanted to write a paper that Einstein would be interested in, but Chen Muwu did not choose to write about the current popular theory of relativity.

There are three reasons, one is that he only took a course on general relativity for one semester during his undergraduate years, and then devoted himself to nuclear physics, and his follow-up knowledge of relativity is seriously insufficient.

Second, because the theory of general relativity is very troublesome to verify, there are now astronomical telescopes in the world that can observe redshifts, and the radar that detects echoes and the incomparably accurate cesium atomic clock are still in the stage of mirroring.

Third, and the most important point, that is, quantum theory is about to usher in a big explosive development, Chen Muwu has a solid basic skill in quantum mechanics, and not writing a paper on quantum mechanics to engage in general relativity is like losing a watermelon and picking up sesame seeds.

Fortunately, Einstein was not only an expert in the theory of relativity, he also made considerable achievements in quantum theory.

The first of Einstein's five papers published in the "miracle year" of 1905 was the theory of the photoelectric effect.

This paper is one of the cornerstones of quantum mechanics, and the flourishing of quantum mechanics in the future is largely due to the fact that he planted a seed of "light quantum".

Therefore, Chen Muwu eventually wrote a paper on "light quantum", and the theory contained in this paper was called the "Compton effect" in his previous life.

However, it is estimated that it will be renamed the "Chan Effect" or "Chan-Compton Effect".

The unexpected joy of meeting Albert Einstein this time was that he received an invitation to study abroad.

Chen Muwu naturally has plans to go abroad and stay abroad, but the destination he designed for himself is not Germany, but the United Kingdom.

He didn't know German in his previous life, and now he is able to communicate in German because he learned a second foreign language at university.

He always felt that he was more comfortable using English, so he didn't think about studying in Germany at all.

Now that there is such a small variable, Chen Muwu has to rethink where he should go in the future.

The lobby foreman of Cangzhou Hotel led Zhao Junhao to the café, and when the two met, they inevitably exchanged pleasantries.
