In the first lecture, Chen Muwu designed a lot of interesting passages in the outline, which came in handy:

For example, the Michelson-Morey interference experiment proved that the speed of light is constant;

For example, the famous thought experiment of "Einstein's train";

He even started with the popular martial arts novels, starting with swordsmanship, and finally led to the famous limerick poem "The young man Feike is good at swordsmanship, and the stabbing is as fast as a meteor, and due to the contraction of space, the long sword becomes a small iron nail" [1]......

I have to say that these episodes did attract some interest from the audience, but after more than two hours, the effect of the lecture can only be said to be tepid.

Most of the audience who came to the scene were students and teachers from Shao University and several other universities, and as for other celebrities from all walks of life, there were very few.

Dr. Hu was even more busy with official business, so he didn't even show up in the lecture hall.

This also verifies one of Chen Muwu's conjectures, that is, there was a craze for relativity in the academic circles of Shao University and even Shaojing, and the fame of Einstein, a world-famous scientist, is more sought after than the truth contained in the theory of relativity.

Even if Albert Einstein raised his arms and shouted: "The earth is flat!" It is estimated that he can also gain a lot of faithful followers in China.

And if he Chen Muwu shouted the same thing, it can be imagined how many people would scold him, a son who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it.

But Chen Muwu did not have a sense of loss because of the flat response to the first lecture, anyway, he and Shao Da did not agree on how enthusiastic the lecture scene should be, as long as he was a monk for a day, Shao Da had to take care of his daily meal.

Chen Muwu was already familiar with the content of the theory of relativity, as long as the next few lectures could maintain the status quo, and there would be no big moths, he would be able to get a reward of 500 yuan after the end.

At the same time, a lot of progress has been made on the side of the novel.

conquered Zhang Xinyuan's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and also conquered Cheng She who returned from going out to cover the news.

He called Ma Zhai and invited Chen Muwu to go to the editorial department to discuss the remuneration, and finally finalized the remuneration of five silver yuan for 1,000 words.

From the 27th to the 31st, the front page of the Shaojing edition of "Yishi Bao" ran advertisements for five days, announcing that from the first day of next month, Miss Yao Fulan's new martial arts novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will be serialized.

The desire to make money prompted Chen Muwu to write hard, so in the next two weeks, he forced out more than 70,000 words, and his right arm was visibly stronger than his left arm.

In addition to the 27,000 words handed over to the editorial department for the first time, the number of words in the manuscript from "Shooting the Condor" to "Yishi Bao" has reached the 100,000 mark.

"Shooting the Condor" was serialized in the newspaper with a good effect, so my checkout was also very refreshing, and after the manuscript was reviewed and confirmed that there was no quality degradation, I directly presented the Ocean 500.

Now Chen Muwu has changed and become a rich man again.

Not only that, but he was also busy, and while rushing to the manuscript, he took the time to go to the second college of Shao University to give lectures on the next three studies.

It's fast into February.

The lunar calendar on the eighth day is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, which is not only a small year in the north, but also the last lecture of Chen Muwu's trip to Shaojing.

Before that, Dr. Hu, who had not been seen for a long time, finally reappeared.

On the evening of the 6th, he invited Chen Muwu to Donglai Shun in Dong'an Market for a meal of mutton shabu.

"Hanchen, this Donglaishun mutton is a must in the capital on the same level as Zhengyang Tower, you can eat more."

In fact, Chen Muwu couldn't stand the smell of mutton, so he could only pretend to be polite: "Thank you, Mr. Shizhi, please." ”

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Chen Muwu couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Hu Shi's gourd, was he going to have a showdown with himself, Shao Da couldn't give so much money, let him give him a discount?

Made, after all, he is still too young and lacks social experience, so he should have let them pay the bill after each lecture, or simply ask for a deposit of two hundred oceans first.

The reason why Chen Muwu made this judgment was because during the half month he lived in Shaojing, he saw the real living standard of the Ma family with his own eyes.

Ma Yuzao also only got half a month's salary after a few months, and in order to support a large family, he had to go to Beijing Normal University, Yuda and other schools to work part-time to supplement his family.

He really couldn't look down on his eldest brother's friend, and at the same time he was a good family to himself, and there were radishes and cabbages on the table every day, so he began to quietly supplement the family.

Every day, under the banner of morning exercise, he went to the alley to buy breakfast for a large family; and used the gimmick of buying too many can't be eaten at night, so that the two children of the Ma family who are growing up can satisfy their hunger.

Ma Yuzaogui is the head of the Department of National Studies, and his daily life is still like this.

Can this school take out 500 yuan and settle the bill for itself?

But Chen Muwu thought about it, Shao Da has no money, it does not mean that Dr. Hu has no money.

This guy invited him to Dong'an Market today, and he didn't sit in a foreign car, but in his own car.

There are only two professors in the whole Shao University, one is Ma Heng, who has found a rich father-in-law, and the other is Hu Shi.

Even Cai Yuanpei, who resigned and left Beijing, did not have this treatment when he was in the position of principal!

Chen Muwu made up his mind that if Shao Da didn't give money, he would care about Hu Shi.

Anyway, the letter inviting him to lecture in the north was not stamped with the official seal of Shao Da, but the name of your Hu Shizhi!

However, Chen Muwu's worries were very redundant, because Hu Shi's purpose in inviting him to dinner was not to cry poor, but to have a showdown with him about another matter.

From the ins and outs of Hu Shi's introduction, Chen Muwu finally knew that it was not Cai Yuanpei, who was in the whirlpool of scolding and war at that time, who was the American minister Shulman.

After listening to the reason for inviting him to come, Chen Muwu couldn't cry or laugh, and sighed the same as all readers and gentlemen in his heart: Isn't it necessary to make such a big move if you want him to study in the United States?

Until now, Hu Shi has given Chen Muwu the bottom of this matter, because he wants to buy a good one from him.

Just imagine, if Chen Muwu really breaks out in physics in the future, then won't he Hu Shi become a Bole who knows heroes?

Even if Chen Muwu is unscrupulous, he will not lose, after all, the wronged man who paid 500 yuan for the ocean is an American, and it is not him Hu Shi!

At the end of this meal, Hu Shi also specially told Chen Muwu that in the last lecture the day after tomorrow, American Minister Shulman will personally come to the scene, let him behave well, leave a good impression on the Americans, and the plan to study in Cornell will be more relaxed and smooth.

There was a young fellow named Fisk，

Whose fencing was exceedingly brisk.

So fast was his action，

The Fitz-Gerald contraction，

Reduced his rapier to a disk.
