32 Where is the road ahead?

Because he was not sure which train Ye Qisun took to Cambridge, Chen Muwu could only estimate an approximate date based on the information published in the newspaper that the steamship "George Washington" had arrived at Portsmouth Harbor.

In the past few days, he did not go swimming in the Kang River again, but waited for Ye Qisun's arrival while writing a new paper.

That afternoon, Chen Muwu was in the Cavendish laboratory and finally waited for the visiting guests.

Mr. Ye is dignified and elegant, and does not seem to have some bad habits of hippie debauchery in the United States.

He is from the sea and belongs to the same Wu-speaking area as Chen Muwu, so the two did not encounter any trouble communicating with each other.

As soon as we meet, it is natural that Chinese people are indispensable to compliment each other.

"Mr. Chen, I have long admired your name, when I was in the United States, I read several of your papers from the European Journal of Physics. I didn't expect to find out that you were so young after meeting. ”

"Dr. Ye, you're welcome, just call me Hanchen."

"Then it's better to be respectful, Hanchen, I see that the mailing addresses of your first two papers seem to be from the Two Railways Administration? Which school did you graduate from in China, and how did you come to Cambridge University? ”

It's no wonder that Ye Qisun is straight to the point, because this is indeed the most mysterious and curious point about Chen Muwu.

How can a railway engineer publish a paper in a top international physics journal? How did you get into the world's top universities?

Chen Muwu could only half-truthfully tell Ye Qisun about his experiences from college to work, to meeting Einstein, and then to studying abroad.

Hearing him say that at Jiaotong University, he taught himself the relevant knowledge of the theory of relativity entirely because he was interested, and Ye Qisun was very touched.

He is well aware of the weakness of physics education in China, and although many university professors have obtained doctoral and master's degrees from well-known foreign universities, they are still understaffed.

Moreover, the experimental environment was simple and the experimental equipment was extremely scarce, and it was only after he arrived at the University of Chicago and Harvard University that he discovered that the research environment of physics in China was really an underground and a heaven compared with that of the United States.

Even the Cavendish Laboratory in front of him, although it is very famous, cannot enter the eyes of Ye Qisun, who has personally experienced the rich American university laboratory.

In order to change the status quo of physics in China, Ye Qisun, who has achieved success in his studies, did not stay in the United States to continue scientific research in his subsequent life plan, but wanted to return to China to devote himself to education.

Before graduating from Harvard, Ye Qisun had already secured a position as an associate professor at the National Southeast University in China, and he only needed to complete the formalities before the start of the fall semester next year.

However, Ye Qisun is just a newcomer who has just stepped out of the ivory tower and entered the society with half a foot, and he has no experience in teaching at a university at all, so he came to Europe, which has a long history of university education inheritance, to investigate and study.

Chen Muwu, who is currently the hottest new star in the physics world, may be the best in physics in China at present, and naturally he has not escaped Ye Qisun's question: "Hanchen, what do you think is the difference between our domestic physics education and foreign countries?" If you had to improve, which would you choose to start with? ”

Hearing this question, Chen Muwu couldn't laugh or cry.

Even if he is not a time-traveler, but a native-born local.

But he studied civil engineering as an undergraduate at an engineering school, and only took two semesters of the easiest introduction to physics.

Although the graduate student came to Cambridge University, his course did not start until October, and he had not taken a single professional class in Cambridge so far.

How can such a person compare the advantages and disadvantages of physics education at home and abroad?

Of course, Chen Muwu also knew that Ye Qisun was just a little confused about the future and a little unconfident about the education career he was about to engage in, so he rushed to the doctor and asked himself this question.

But Chen Muwu knows how great Ye Qisun will achieve in physics education in the future:

He not only single-handedly established the science department of Tsinghua University, but also trained many well-known scientists in later generations.

Half of the founding fathers of the "Two Bombs and One Star" came from his disciples, and seventy-nine of the academicians of the two academies were his students.

Even Hua Luogeng, a great mathematician who graduated from junior high school, was able to enter Tsinghua University under Ye Qisun's arrangement.

If you irresponsibly give advice to this kind of pedagogy, it is likely to be counterproductive.

So at this time, Chen Muwu felt that he only needed to give Ye Qisun encouragement and confidence, and let him go with the flow to the original trajectory:

"Dr. Ye, I understand that you are a little worried about returning to China to teach, but I don't think you need to be too pessimistic and feel unconfident about the future physics career of our country. Harvard University, a top university in the United States, graduates only about 100 doctoral students every year, and even fewer doctoral graduates in physics.

"Dr. Ye, as one of the few people in a thousand or even a thousand in 10,000, you can devote yourself to returning to China to engage in education, how can there be a reason why physics education in our country will not be good?"

……

ushered in and sent away Yan Renguang and Ye Qisun, two great physics educators, and a new question appeared in Chen Muwu's brain that made him think, that is, after he became famous one day, where should he go?

Will you return to China to teach like Yan Renguang and Ye Qisun, or will you stay abroad and enjoy a relaxed life while continuing to give yourself a higher reputation?

Although there was a lot of war at home, there was no peace, but after the Second World War started, Britain was also bombed by the mustache air force.

There are many marketing accounts on the Internet that there is a chivalrous gentleman's agreement between Britain and Germany, that Britain will not bomb Göttingen and Heidelberg, and Germany will not bomb Oxford and Cambridge.

At this point, Europeans are really a bit of a gentleman, much stronger than shameless little devils.

During the "January 28th" Anti-Japanese War, one of the primary targets of Ben's plane in the sea was various educational institutions.

The Oriental Library of the Commercial Press, the largest library in Asia at that time, was razed to the ground in the bombing of the devil's planes, and all the books that the library had worked hard to collect for many years were burned to the ground.

In addition to the Commercial Press, the little devils also bombed various universities located in the Chinese boundary of Qihai, and Tongji, Fudan, and Jinan universities did not escape the shelling.

Hujiang University, a church school, was directly occupied by devils and became an airport for temporary take-off and landing aircraft.

The campus of the 1930 school was set on fire by the devils after less than two years of use.

These pigs and dogs are not as good as these fucking damn things!

There are also many marketing accounts that provide another point of view, they say that because the mustache likes the architecture of St. John's College, Cambridge University, and intends to use St. John's as his base after conquering the United Kingdom, so he did not send planes to bomb Cambridge.

But what if what the marketing account says is fake?

Take 10,000 steps back, even if what the marketing account says is true, but what if because of the butterfly effect brought about by your own crossing, everything that has not happened in history has happened?

Chen Muwu was stupid enough to stay in Cambridge at that time, he was completely gambling on his life.

As soon as a bomb explodes above your head, the journey is over in no time.

It is no wonder that a large number of European scientists have taken refuge in the United States because of World War II, and planes are buzzing above their heads every day, and no matter who they are, they must be distraught.

In fact, in Chen Muwu's heart, he also has his own plans and ideas for the future physics education in China.

He also wanted to build a building for the Institute of Theoretical Physics, like Bohr, and rely on his reputation to recruit disciples, and also create a Chen School of Scholars, mainly Chinese, to compete with Copenhagen and Göttingen.

But where should this building be built?

Several cities with the best conditions in China were all bombed or occupied by devils without exception during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and even the Southwest Associated University, which was far away in Kunshu, was not spared and suffered countless aircraft bombings.

And those cities with poor conditions should not have enough financial resources to afford the operating costs of such a large institution.

In fact, the ideal location in Chen Muwu's mind is still abroad, just like those students who went to France for work-study in the past enrolled in the Sino-French University in France.

Establish a university abroad, provide travel expenses and tuition and miscellaneous fees for outstanding students in China, so that they can learn knowledge, accumulate experience, and preserve vitality in a relatively safe place abroad, and then wait for the opportunity to return to China and devote themselves to production and construction after the domestic situation has completely stabilized.

But according to Chen Muwu's assumption, this building could not be built in the United States, thinking about how many hardships and hardships Qian Xuesen had to endure to return to their motherland from the United States?

But if you don't go to the United States, where should you go?

France raised the white flag early, Britain became a bombing zone for German planes, even Copenhagen was not spared, and Bohr had to sneak into England with the help of local resistance groups and Chadwick.

The more Chen Muwu thought about it, the more sad he felt, born in troubled times, where can it be my home!

Although Yan and Ye were gone, Chen Muwu found a troublesome problem for himself.

But in the process of thinking about this problem, he did not get nothing.

Chen Muwu has figured out one thing, that is, if he wants to realize his unattainable dream, the most basic condition is to make money and get enough money.

Only when he has money can he buy land, build buildings, pay professors, recruit students and take care of their food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Money is very good, Chen Muwu has a bunch of patents in his mind that have not yet been invented and will be sold in the future, in addition to the nylon stockings made by other predecessors, he can also make improved lighters, ballpoint pens, and fluorescent lamps......

For him, this era is full of gold.

But Chen Muwu, as a yellow person, wants to make money on the white man's territory, and he can't just rely on a patent certificate to get everything right.

He still needs to give up some of his interests and find a few Caucasian people with fame, status, ability and skills to be his white gloves.

And he hid behind the scenes and became a boss who made a fortune in a muffled voice.

But how do you find the right and reliable white gloves?

The easiest way Chen Muwu could think of was still to improve his reputation first.

If Einstein said at this time that he wanted to open a company to make money, then there must be countless capitals that wanted to pour in and get a piece of the pie.

But if he, Chen Muwu, stands up and says that he has a way to make money, it is estimated that people will wonder what evil intentions this Chinese man harbors - even if he is now a person who is well-known in the newspapers, and has put forward a series of shocking ideas such as "time travel" and "light is a particle".

But now this little fame is far from enough for Chen Muwu.

If he wanted to be famous, he had to come up with something even more shocking.

The ugly daughter-in-law sees her in-laws sooner or later.

In the original outline, the protagonist would return to China at the beginning of 27, and many previous plots were also in the service of this return.

Because of seasickness, I chose to take the train north to Europe.

Then he suffered the Great Robbery of Lincheng.

After that, there was "Jinpu Road Hawker robbed the hero, hugged the calf and Hanqing saved Hanchen".

I met Han Qing here, Han Qing likes to read martial arts, and Han Chen can write martial arts, so the two naturally fell in love very much, and even considered worshipping the master.

But this idea, which was very seriously rejected by my editor.

On the one hand, he said that my topic is called a great scientist, and it is not off-topic to write so many side plots.

I've been scolded enough on this point.

There is no choice but to change the outline.

You can also Baidu the two keywords of Yishi and French journalist, who has now been changed to a fictional character.

It's not that I don't want to return to China after completing my studies, but as soon as I return to China, this book will definitely be 404.

The practice of running schools abroad mentioned in this chapter is the best way I can think of at the moment.

In February 28, the reporter talked to someone and asked him to go to Japan to study academically and accumulate prestige, and in the future he would be the leader of the cultural circle as an open non-partisan person.

So I can only change the protagonist to such an identity.

Please be considerate and spray gently.
