16 Mindless and unhappy
Leaving Rutherford's office, Kapitsa didn't know where to come from, and blocked Chen Muwu's way with a dissatisfied face: "Chen, didn't we say yesterday that we would visit the school together today?" Why did I go to look for you in the morning and you were gone? And now you're in the crocodile's office again?
"Oh, you probably don't know, crocodile is what we call each other back to the head, how about it, my nickname is pretty good, right?"
Kapitsa, who was still angry, couldn't help but laugh first as he spoke.
Chen Muwu thought that Kapitsa said yesterday that it was just a kind word to take him to visit the campus, but he didn't expect the other party to take it seriously, so he had to say a few words of apology.
"Let's go, I'll show you around the lab!"
This time, without waiting for Chen Muwu to reply, Kapitsa took care of himself and led the way in front.
"This is the office of Professor Ralph Fowler, the crocodile's son-in-law and the only theorist we have here."
"This is the office of Professor Charles Wilson, who invented the cloud room, which is now a good thing in our lab to observe the trajectories of microscopic charged particles......"
"This is the warehouse ......"
"This is where the glass is blown......"
"It's easy to weld something here......"
……
After walking around, Kapitsa took Chen Muwu into the open laboratory on the first floor, and came to a table with a lot of oil stains, and all kinds of experimental equipment on the table that were also black.
"Chen, this is my test bench. This half of the table belonged to me, and the other half belonged to the stupid big Englishman who was in my group but was always silent.
"Hey, Patrick! Chen has arrived, put down the work in your hands and come over to say hello! ”
Chen Muwu felt that his figure of 1.85 meters was already tall in this era, but he didn't expect that this Englishman who was walking towards him looked a few centimeters taller than himself.
It's no wonder that when he met Capitsa yesterday, he lamented why he was also a tall man.
"Hello Chen, my name is Patrick Blackett, I'm from London, it's nice to meet you."
Blackett's voice was as thin as a mosquito, and it didn't quite match his tall and powerful stature.
He and Kapitsa were together like a mindless and unhappy couple.
Here's the ......, though The third one?
In less than 24 hours since he moved into Mrs. Brown's rental house last night, Chen Muwu has already crossed paths with three people who have already won the Nobel Prize, or will win it in the future.
A small Cavendish laboratory is really full of talents, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Blackett was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1948 for his improvements to the Wilson chamber method and his discoveries in the fields of nuclear physics and cosmic rays.
During his years in the Cavendish Laboratory, he was suppressed by Kapitsa and never won the Best Student Scholarship in the laboratory, and finally suppressed his classmate in the Nobel Prize award.
Blackett is best known not for his previous presidency of the Royal Society, but for one of his students, Robert Oppenheimer.
Blackett was not Oppenheimer's mentor, at best he mentored him in Cavendish for a few months.
But it was during these months that Oppenheimer almost killed Blackett.
In 1924, Oppenheimer graduated from Bridgeman at Harvard University and went on to study at Cambridge University.
That's right, his mentor is the Bridgeman who guided Ye Qisun's thesis, and the two are still brothers.
Oppenheimer's application for admission to the Cavendish laboratory was rejected by Rutherford, but fortunately, the kind old Thomson took him in and placed him under Blackett.
A person who is supposed to be engaged in theory has to go into the laboratory, and the result is that Oppenheimer simply cannot bear the tedious and repetitive work in the laboratory day after day, and the irritability in his heart accumulates more and more.
Eventually, he couldn't take it anymore, and after putting a cyanide-soaked apple on Blackett's desk at Christmas, Oppenheimer ran away to Paris alone.
Luckily, Brackett didn't eat the apple, otherwise he would have been thirty years ahead of Alan Turing and would have been the first person to die in this way.
Fortunately, Oppenheimer's parents traveled thousands of miles from the United States to the other side of the Atlantic, and relied on their sharp teeth to save their son from being expelled from Cambridge University.
The excuse they chose was also lame, saying that Oppenheimer was mentally ill.
Not long after, Oppenheimer transferred from Cambridge to the University of Göttingen in Germany, where he immersed himself in his beloved theoretical physics.
Looking at the stupid big man in front of him, Chen Muwu stretched out his hand to him: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Patrick." By the way, do you like to eat apples? ”
Blackett shook his head and didn't speak.
It is estimated that the stuffy pot gourd in front of him can't smash a single fart with three hammers, so he turned his head and asked Kapitsa beside him: "Peter, Patrick, what experiments have you been doing recently?" ”
"I'm using a cloud chamber to take pictures of alpha particles that have been deflected by a strong magnetic field, and Patrick is trying to improve the old cloud chambers in the lab."
It seems that Capitsa has not yet thrown himself into the arms of low-temperature physics, and Blackett has not yet succeeded in improving the Wilson cloud room.
But Chen Muwu didn't want to snatch the Nobel Prize in physics from these two.
In 1978, at the age of 84, Capitsa was awarded the prize because the jury considered him to be too old, so he had to give the prize to scientists from the Red Nation.
The other two people who won the award with him, Robert Wilson and Arnold Penzias, were not related to Kapitsa's research direction, low-temperature physics, for discovering the cosmic microwave background radiation.
Before Kapitsa, his compatriot Lev Landau was also in a car accident and was considered by the jury to have little time, so he asked the Swedish ambassador to Sulen to go to the hospital ward to present the award on his behalf of the king.
In order to improve the cloud room, Blackett took more than 100,000 photos, and it was purely by perseverance and persistence that he won the Nobel Prize.
Coming and not being rude, Kapitsa also asked Chen Muwu about him: "Chen, what task did the crocodile arrange for you?" ”
"Director Rutherford said that he was going to London to attend the little prince's wedding recently, and that he would not arrange a task for me until he returned." Chen Muwu said "frankly".
"So, crocodiles are going to be away for a while?" Hearing the news, Kapitsa instantly became excited, "In that case, should we play a few cards tonight to celebrate the news?" ”
"Peter, don't say that loudly in the lab, maybe the next second, the director will appear behind your back." Chen Muwu kindly advised.
Hearing him say this, Kapitsa was so frightened that he immediately approached his mouth, and he looked back and forth, left and right, trying to confirm whether Rutherford had appeared.
"Okay, let's not tease you, you said that you and Patrick are in the same group, and I just don't have any projects these days, so I will join your group temporarily, okay?"
"Absolutely."
Capitsa replied in the affirmative, and Blackett nodded.
