26 Supreme Honors Cambridge Blue

Not everyone has read Chen's two physics papers published in professional journals.

Not everyone cares whether light is a particle or a wave.

But almost everyone present had read about Chen Muwu's various "glorious" deeds from the newspapers.

At this time, the club member who had asked Chen Muwu's name before had also arrived in front of Chen Muwu.

He adjusted his breathing and asked his own question: "Mistochen, just now you swam here from that side in one breath?" ”

Chen Muwu nodded expressionlessly: "Otherwise? You wouldn't think I could do witchcraft or travel here using time travel technology, would you? ”

His rhetorical question made the visitor look embarrassed.

Obviously, the two people in the conversation heard the shouts of the onlookers just now.

"Mistochen, then may I ask you again, are you a student at Cambridge University?"

This time, Chen Muwu gave an affirmative answer: "That's right, I completed the registration of graduate students at Trinity College before the start of the spring semester this year. ”

"Great! My name is Lawrence Best, I am a student at Gonville & Case College, and the president of the Cambridge University Swimming and Water Polo Club, would you be interested in becoming a member of our club? ”

Best warmly extended an invitation to Chen Muwu.

Gonville and Case College, the most famous alumnus of this college in Chen Muwu's memory, is Stephen Hawking, who is typing in a wheelchair.

However, Hawking was also a student at Trinity College, and only after he graduated with a doctorate did he work at Gonville and Case College.

It stands to reason that Gonville is only a wall away from Case College and Trinity College, and if there is a newcomer from the house next door, Best should find out quickly.

But the spring semester, which started in April, was about to end, and Best had just learned that there was a cow in Trinity College.

It's no wonder that he is so late-sighted, it's really because Chen Muwu entered the school in April, so he can't choose a course.

Since he entered the school, he has been staying in Cavendish Laboratory every day, and only when it is time to eat, will he occasionally follow Kapitsa to the auditorium of Trinity College, and wear his robe to attend the college dinner with extremely complicated rules and extremely unpalatable food.

Most of the time, he went to Ye Gongchao or solved it in the small restaurants around the laboratory.

Chen Muwu's third paper, which changed the mailing address from the Railway Administration of the Two Roads to the University of Cambridge, has not yet been published, so except for the professors and classmates in the Cavendish laboratory, few people know that Chen Muwu has entered Trinity College.

was asked by Best like this, and Chen Muwu was also a little confused.

Why recruit yourself to join the club? Just because of that dive just now?

Isn't that a basic operation? What's all the fuss!

Chen Muwu is very realistic: "That, I want to ask, does this club help me?" ”

Like a pyramid schemer, Best sells his club: "If you join the club, you can represent Cambridge University in swimming competitions." At the beginning of next month, our school and the University of Oxford will host a joint sports day in London, in addition to the most famous rowing events, football, rugby, athletics and swimming. ”

Half-Blues and Blues are among the most prestigious honorary titles among Cambridge students.

Again, both titles are only awarded to the highest-ranking athletes within the school.

The rest of the knighthood was knighted by the royal family, or became a member of the Royal Society, and won the Nobel Prize, etc......

This kind of honor can theoretically be obtained by students at Cambridge University, but it is estimated that before Chen Muwu's arrival, it only existed in theory.

Of course, the highest-ranking student at Cambridge University should be a member of the royal family who is hard to come by, Prince Albert, Duke of York, who married at Westminster Abbey in April, he is a Cambridge University graduate and an alumnus of Trinity College.

Although it is rumored that the prince usually does not attend classes, all the servants sign in on his behalf.

However, there are many students at Cambridge University who, like Blackett, wear medals awarded by the army on their chests, which are all testimonies of their bravery in the past, from the battlefields of Europe, and then from the triumphant return.

However, compared with the very few students who won the medal, there are still more students sleeping in the battlefield ravines, and the school has a serious shortage of students, which may be one of the reasons why the old Tomson Society agreed to recruit Chen Muwu to the academy.

In addition to being awarded a medal, a special scholarship and a Hawks' Club, which is exclusive to Cambridge's elite athletes, Blue Title winners can also wear Cambridge blue suits and make a splash around campus.

That's why the majestic professors turn a blind eye to the athletes who come to class every time.

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to join your club, I'm sorry."

Best thought that no one would refuse the temptation of the blue title, but he didn't expect that the famous Chen Muwu would give him a negative answer.

Chen Muwu also has his own ideas.

In his previous life, although he participated in the school swimming team, he was just a middle-of-the-road person who could exceed the 400 first-class athlete line, but could never reach the athlete line.

Every time I represent the school to participate in the domestic college student swimming competition, I will always be abused by those professional-level sports students.

And in the half a year since he crossed over, although he maintained the habit of running in the morning and exercising in the morning, Chen Muwu has never been in the water, neglected to practice, and I don't know how far the current level has dropped.

Let him go to the competition between universities now, once he achieves poor results, it is a small matter to lose face for himself, and it is a big matter to disgrace the country.

If it is really like the previous game, he was left behind by the gods and could not see the splash, it is estimated that there will be a large number of boos at the scene, and the harsh title of "The Sick Man of East Asia" will also linger in his ears.

You just need to make great progress in physics, and you don't need to stumble in swimming and lose the wheat city.

However, what Chen Muwu didn't know was that he made a mistake in his calculation this time.

……

After rejecting Best, Chen Muwu found a less personal area in the Kang River and swam a few times heartily.

The feeling of being immersed in the water again made him feel very happy all over his body, except for his eyes, which were not protected by swimming goggles.

That's right, although swimming goggles already existed, due to technical problems, swimming goggles in this period were basically wooden frames with glass sheets, which were easy to damage and easy to enter water. So in the vast majority of cases, people don't use it in swimming.

Fortunately, the natural water quality of the Kanghe River water is quite clean, and there is no residual bleaching powder left after disinfection, which will not make Chen Muwu suffer from pink eye.

found a place with few water and grass and climbed ashore, and Chen Muwu, who swam for dozens of minutes, was refreshed. He felt that he should combine work and rest from time to time in the future, which might be more helpful for his thinking ability.

As the sun set, Chen Muwu left a long shadow by the Kang River, accompanying him slowly.

……

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is July.

The major events that have occurred in the past month are: after paying a large ransom in the five feet south of Xiaodu City, all the hostages of the Lincheng robbery, which lasted nearly two months, were released;

President Li Yuanhong was ousted from power by the direct warlords and fled from Shaojing in a hurry;

U.S. President Harding left the White House for a national lecture tour, but he will never return;

The United Kingdom enacted the Oxford and Cambridge Bills, announcing that they would each allocate £100,000 each year to fund their education.

What should have happened this month, but what didn't happen, was the fire in the Forbidden City's Jianfu Palace.

Best approached Chen Muwu several times in Cam River or in Cavendish Labs, and every time he invited him to join the club, he would always be rejected.

Capitsa and Blackett have finally finished their busy work at the end of the semester and entered the summer holidays.

It is worth mentioning that Capitsa received his Ph.D. from Trinity College this summer, saying goodbye to his student days for good.

Blackett decided to pull back from the precipice and stop playing the addictive game of mahjong.

Kapitsa, on the other hand, is returning home to visit his family during the summer vacation, and he plans to bring this fascinating game back to his own country.

The July issue of the Bulletin of the Natural Sciences was sent to the Cavendish laboratory the day after it was published.
