19. Intercept Huda Chen Hanchen
As the best university in the UK, it is only natural that the University of Cambridge has many top academics.
Many of these scholars have received royal canonization for various merits, and their names can be preceded by the title "Sir".
Even those who have not yet been honoured are members of various societies such as the Royal Society, the Royal Society of Letters, the Royal Astronomical Society, and many others, and can also use honorary titles.
They are all more or less related to the royal family, so when the second prince of the old King George V is about to get married, the Cambridgeshire train station is crowded with famous teachers who want to take the train to London to attend the wedding ceremony.
If a train derails on a railroad track, it could rewrite the trajectory of various disciplines, including the history of human science, literature, and philosophy.
The Cavendish lab also had a lot of people gone, leaving only Chadwick, the assistant director of research, to manage the group of students who remained in the lab, so as not to let them get into any big trouble during the royal celebration.
By the way, Chadwick is already the sixth Nobel Prize winner Chen Muwu has met after the president of Trinity College, Tom Sun.
Kapitsa and Blackett have found a gamma ray source and are using the gamma rays it emits to bombard the graphite plate, trying to find the trajectory of the recoil electrons in the cloud chamber and record it on the negative using photographic technology.
Whoever of them felt that this would be an amazing discovery, so they were full of fighting spirit and confidence.
Because Rutherford was busy with various preparations before attending the royal wedding, he had no time to take care of Chen Muwu, so he could only tell him to wait until the Duke of York's wedding was over, and then arrange experiments for him.
So in the past few days, Chen Muwu has nothing to do, and I don't know where he got a lot of lead plates, holding a hammer at the door of the laboratory, clanging like a vicious blacksmith.
Kapitsa, who was tired from the experiment and occasionally walked out of the door to smoke to relieve fatigue, saw Chen Muwu wielding a hammer and smashing the lead plate, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Chen, what are you doing here?" ”
"I'm building a well-fitting armor for myself, and when I wear it, I become a knight and be invited to a royal wedding!"
Seeing people talking about people, and talking nonsense when he sees ghosts, facing the joking Kapitsa, Chen Muwu couldn't help but make a joke.
He was not a citizen of the Da Yu Empire, and he didn't have such a strong desire to see their master get married, and then he was so moved.
"Just kidding, to be honest, I always felt that the penetration of gamma rays was too strong, and it shouldn't be a good thing for the human body to be exposed to it for a long time.
"That's why I found the lead plates that are the most difficult to penetrate gamma rays, and I felt that I could feel more at ease when I went into the lab."
There is no need to hide it with his colleagues in the next few years, and Chen Muwu plans to promote it to the entire laboratory after his lead radiation protection suit is in place.
After listening to Chen Muwu's answer, Kapitsa didn't take it to heart at all, he felt that Chen Muwu was unfounded.
Therefore, he laughed and said: "Chen, you are just too cautious, gamma rays are no different from the light around you, they are just electromagnetic waves." I've never seen you put on a parasol every day when you pass by in the sun, like the aristocratic women of old days? ”
As he spoke, the tobacco in Capitsa's pipe had burned out, and he pulled out the tobacco bag he had brought with him, intending to refill the bucket with a new one.
"Smoke less, it's not good for your health."
Chen Muwu kindly admonished again.
Kapitsa wanted to tell him a few more jokes about tobacco, but when he thought of the country Chen Muwu came from, he immediately shut up obediently.
Capitsa resealed the pouch of tobacco that had been opened, then walked away, turning and entering the lab again.
……
When Rutherford returned to Cambridgeshire from London with his colleagues and disciples, Chen Muwu's lead plate radiation protective suit was also built.
Chen Muwu's suits were all tailor-made for him by the eldest brother to find a top tailor in the Haihai Concession.
After putting the lead plate on his body, Chen Muwu could no longer wear these suits, so he had to change into the wide-sleeved robe issued by Trinity College, and walked like a figure from Wu Daozi's paintings.
However, in the near future, Chen Muwu has little chance to wear this radiation-proof suit.
Because as soon as Rutherford returned to Cambridge, he began to help Chen Muwu plan and prepare for his experiment.
At the beginning, Rutherford was also worried that Chen Muwu would open his mouth on the experimental equipment and make some excessive demands.
Despite the prestige of the Cavendish Laboratory in the world, in 1923 the total annual budget of the laboratory was less than £9,000, including the salaries of several professors and faculty members.
However, to Rutherford's peace of mind, Chen Muwu did not ask for any expensive high-precision equipment.
He said all he needed was a sunny darkroom, a few liquid containers made of high-transparency glass, a few monochrome filters, a few uranium glass, and a spectrometer.
The items mentioned by Chen Muwu are all readily available in the Cavendish laboratory, and there is no need to buy additional equipment or make any new equipment.
However, while asking people to provide Chen Muwu with these instruments and props, Rutherford also secretly wondered in his heart, what did he want these optical instruments that could be seen everywhere?
Could it be that China, located in the Far East, is so poor that it can't even scrape together these equipment?
If this is the case, why does Chen Muwu look like a son and son of a big family, whether he is dressed or behaved?
Of course, it is not as Rutherford thought, in fact, this experiment, Chen Muwu can be perfectly replicated in China.
But when he was in China at that time, his mind was full of Compton scattering and Einstein's gravitational field equations, and he completely ignored the existence of this experiment.
Until a few weeks ago, when he was sailing on the steamship Anriheridoo in the blue Indian Ocean, looking at the blue light reflected from the sea, Chen Muwu suddenly thought of Rayleigh scattering.
When he thought of Rayleigh scattering, he thought of Raman scattering, which he had learned and done in the two professional courses "History of Physics" and "Modern Physics Experiments" respectively.
On the steamer, Chen Muwu occasionally wrote and drew on paper when he was awake, and it was this principle and formula of Raman scattering.
Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman, a British Indian, is the noblest Brahmin in caste, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930, and the first physicist in India and even in Asia to win the Nobel Prize in Physics. 【1】
However, in this time and space, it would be a little difficult for him to be the first to win this award, after all, because now, a Chen Muwu appeared out of thin air.
