Athletes are arguably the highest-ranking students at Cambridge University.

The University of Cambridge, which has been inherited for hundreds of years, has a set of cumbersome and complicated school rules, which involve all aspects of a student's daily study and life.

Naturally, the first priority for students is to study, and being late for class is a serious crime, with the exception of athletes.

Every day, these rowing, rugby and track athletes rush to the classroom just before the start of the lesson, their faces flushed and their clothes soaked with sweat.

But the teachers and professors on the podium have no complaints about this, after all, they can suppress Oxford University in various projects, but it is one of the main goals of the entire Cambridge University.

And among these athletes, the highest status is undoubtedly rowers, and the rowing battle between the two universities of Oxford and Cambridge began in 1829 and has been going on for nearly a hundred years today.

Every year, on the day of the race, the nearly seven-mile river bank of the London Thames Race River will gather a large number of tourists to watch the race, and it has become one of the biggest festivals in London every summer.

Walking along the Kang River, Chen Muwu not only saw these bullish rowers, but also saw several oncoming swimmers.

In this era, both men and women, their swimsuit system is very masculine and moral, even the part above the navel cannot be exposed to the air.

So when Chen Muwu saw the one-piece men's swimsuits worn by several male students, he couldn't help but be surprised.

His first reaction was to think that he had encountered a group of transvestites, and thought, why did the British guys in the twenties already let go like this?

It wasn't until he saw their damp clothes and the droplets of water sliding down their hair and skin that Chen Muwu realized that he had thought too much about it at first.

Chen Muwu himself was a swimmer, so he stepped forward and asked, "Gentlemen, have you just finished swimming?" ”

When a few students saw that it was an East Asian who was blocking the way, they couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in their hearts.

Because of the robbery of the Jinpu Railway in the city half a month ago, it not only caused a stir in China, but also appeared in the newspapers of Europe and the United States.

However, it was because the robbers had kidnapped a few foreigners by mistake, and had released the old, weak, sick and disabled and women among them, but the Chinese phobia in the hearts of the white people had recurred again, and some newspapers even exaggerated the robbery of the train as the second of the "Boxer Rebellion" movement.

In addition, a silent film was released in the United Kingdom this year, and it is also the first film adapted from Fu Manchu's series of novels, "The Mystery of Dr. Fu Manchu".

College students who are easily receptive to new things are the main moviegoers nowadays.

Whenever a new movie is released, they will run to the cinema as soon as possible, and after watching it, they will also point fingers at the plot with their friends and classmates at tea parties and bars.

Therefore, these students are very discriminatory against the East Asian in front of them in their hearts, and even from the expressions in their eyes and faces.

No one was willing to answer his question, but one of them, who felt that he was somewhat sympathetic, told him "pitifully": "That's right, we just finished swimming." ”

Of course, Chen Muwu could also see the disgusted expression on their faces.

He didn't wear the academy robe today, and the suit on his body was wrinkled because of the experiments he had been doing in the laboratory all day.

In the eyes of the other party, there is a high probability that he thinks he is a tourist from other places, and he is also a sloppy Chinese person, right?

It's been half a year since he crossed over, but he has never been in the water, and seeing the swimsuit and water droplets on the other party's body makes Chen Muwu, a duck, feel very itchy.

He wanted to ask further where they were swimming, but it seemed that the student on the other side didn't intend to answer himself properly, so why humiliate himself?

It's better to ask Blackett later, after all, he came to Cambridge a few years before himself, and he should be much more familiar with the environment around the school than he is.

The group and a person staggered by, and a few steps after walking out, Chen Muwu heard the sound of giggling and laughing from behind.

Needless to say, the target of this ridicule, if nothing else, should be himself.

……

Friday afternoon, June 1, 1923.

On the train from Cambridgeshire to London, Chan told Blackett about what had happened on the banks of the River Cam a few days earlier.

Eventually, Blackett invited two foreign partners, Chen Muwu and Kapitsa, to his London home for a three-day holiday on the King's Birthday, to take a break from the repeated experiments that lasted for more than a month.

He and Kapitsa had taken enough pictures of recoil neutrons to start writing their papers when the vacation was over.

Chen Muwu had already stuffed the third paper into the mailbox and mailed it out, and if he calculated the time, it was 100 percent too late to appear in the June issue of the "Bulletin of the Natural Science Society" published today, and if nothing else, it should be published in next month's issue.

This time, Chen Muwu did not translate the paper into German and sent it to Planck.

Taking the money of the British to do experiments in the laboratory of the British, he was also a little embarrassed to eat inside and out.

The above sentence is a joke, but in fact, the "Annals of Physics" is more theoretical, like Chen Muwu's purely experimental paper, which is enough to publish in the "Bulletin of the Natural Science Society".

In addition to this, he wrote a brief correspondence to the journal Nature, like Rutherford, although neither the physicists of Raman nor Suren could have made the experiment nearly five years earlier.

Chen Muwu, who had just finished writing a paper, was also rarely at rest for a few days, he not only agreed to Blackett's invitation, but also brought his newly acquired younger brother Ye Gongchao with him after obtaining the consent of the host's family.

After listening to Chen Muwu's account of what happened that day by the Kang River, Blackett was a little ashamed, and couldn't help but feel ashamed and blush at what several compatriots had done.

He was so nervous that he spoke a little incoherently: "Chen, it's not like this, it's not like this, they, they only represent a small group of ignorant British, and the vast majority of us Britons are still very friendly." ”

Looking at Blackett's anxious look, Chen Muwu was a little amused and a little helpless.

Maybe Blackett himself has no ill will towards him because of Chen Muwu's talent, but it doesn't mean that the majority of British people are the same as Blackett.

Anyway, his landlord, Mrs. Brown, was always cautious when greeting Chen Muwu every day, for fear that her one move would annoy this Chinese man who was born with barbarism in his bones.

"Patrick, don't care about these details, I don't want to complain to you about those people, I just want to ask you if there are swimming pools around Cambridge, summer is coming, you have to go to the water to cool off, right?"
