From the discovery of a new planet at the end of January, to the naming campaign held by the Cambridge University Observatory, to the International Federation of Astronomers, which finally recognized it as a planet and accepted the name Yellow Emperor Star......

Because of the Yellow Emperor Star, Chen Muwu spent more than a month on it.

What matter waves? He forgot all about the electron diffraction.

Then, Chen Muwu, who liked the new and hated the old, soon ushered in his retribution and was approached by an "old lover".

……

One morning after the heat of the Yellow Emperor Star had dissipated a little, Chen Muwu had just stepped into the door of Cavendish Laboratory, and saw that Kapitsa, the cow of the Cambridge First Society, was chatting with a stranger.

The two switched back and forth between English, Russian, French and body language, even comparing and guessing, which reminded Chen Muwu of an ancient variety show, "Lucky 52".

He sometimes admires Kapitsa, although he can't speak any language, even his native Russian, but no matter whether he can or not, and whether others can understand it or not, he always opens his mouth in several popular foreign languages in Europe.

The Cambridges created a new term for this purpose, called "Kapitsa", a language that consists of roughly equal amounts of Russian, French, and English.

Since the stranger was facing away from the door, Chen Muwu didn't see his face.

He said hello to Capitsa, and tried to enter the door of Cavendis's laboratory through the gap next to him.

But after Capitsa saw Chen Muwu coming, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the stranger and said, "Oh, the Chen Muwu you are looking for, isn't this coming?" ”

Chen Muwu hadn't reacted to what was going on, but as soon as the stranger heard his name, he immediately turned around and walked straight to Chen Muwu.

Before he could see his face clearly, he walked closer, and the stranger stretched out his arms and enthusiastically hugged Chen Muwu in his arms.

This alone was not the end, he even leaned his face over and pasted it on Chen Muwu's left and right cheeks.

This directly made Chen Muwu's brain shut down, the chrysanthemum was tight, and it didn't matter if he didn't say hello when he met, why did he come up and directly sexually harass?

He was still confused, subconsciously regarded the other party as a British, and was still thinking that the rotten country was indeed worthy of its reputation, but he was a straight man of steel.

In fact, unlike Chen Muwu's imagination, the number of friends in the UK is not large now, and even if there are, they are all secretly hidden underground.

Because now, this is still a kind of illegal behavior, and Turing, the father of artificial intelligence in the future, will not be forced to commit suicide in a few decades?

But the University of Cambridge, where he lives, is rich in, and the better the family conditions, the higher the proportion among students.

Because these boys, since they started school, they have been attending boys' schools such as Eton and Harrow School, and when they come to Cambridge, they rarely see girls in school.

Since the second development of puberty, it is difficult not to be crooked by the same sex around you.

It wasn't until this stranger reported to his home after a series of etiquette that Chen Muwu realized that he was thinking too much, this was not an Englishman, but a Frenchman who was overly romantic.

"Mr. Chen, I have admired my name for a long time, and it is a pleasure to meet you. I'm Louis from the Broglie family in Paris, France, and I've written with you through a few letters before. ”

Veneer ceremony is a traditional custom in France, and in some places it is simply on the lips.

De Broglie has achieved this level of elegance and gentlemanliness......

No, now isn't the time to think about veneers, is it?

Didn't you say that you would go to France to do the experiment? Why did His Excellency The Little Prince come to Cambridge University in person?

The fact that he won the Nobel Prize with his doctoral dissertation gave Chen Muwu the illusion that De Brow was young when he won the award.

But in fact, during World War I, de Broglie, who obtained a bachelor's degree, joined the army, and relying on his family connections, he was arranged to work as a radio signal soldier on the Eiffel Tower for several years.

After the war was over and he was discharged from the army, de Broglie returned to school for a doctorate.

The little prince in front of him is thirty-two years old, born in 1892, he is ten years older than Chen Muwu, and the hairline on both wings of his head has receded a lot.

Chen Muwu welcomed de Broglie into Cavendis's conference room, and the French nobleman did not dislike the smell of rotten milk and biscuits in this dark, damp, unheated conference room, but sat generously on the dirty chair opposite Chen Muwu.

"Your Excellency, I have been waiting for your letter for a long time, but I didn't expect you to come to England in person."

De Broglie smiled: "Chen, you don't have to be so polite, just call me Louie." When I was in the United States, I saw your name in many newspapers and magazines, and you are now the hottest star in the world.

"I'm afraid you've been too busy lately, and I haven't had much to do lately, so after I bought the equipment, I changed my ticket to Portsmouth, and came to England with a vacuum pump to find you.

"But such a large item, which was not very convenient to carry by train, was left in London by me with the servant, and he should have found the car and carried the vacuum pump to Cambridge within a day or two."

Chen Muwu keenly grasped the point from De Broglie's words: "Pavilion...... Your Excellency Louie, you went to the United States in person? ”

"Yes, when I received your reply, there happened to be a housekeeper in the United States who was dealing with some things, so I sent him a telegram asking him to inquire about this vacuum pump.

"When he told me that he had made contact with General Electric, I went from Paris to the United States."

"You're really...... It's hard work, can I take the liberty of asking, how much did this vacuum pump cost you? ”

De Broglie smiled bitterly: "It's not much, General Electric asked for 8,000 US dollars, and we finally negotiated 6,000 yuan, and signed a contract with them to guarantee that vacuum pumps will not be used in commercial competition." It's just that the exchange rate of the franc is now at a low price, so I suffered a loss when I exchanged currency. ”

In recent times, the franc has also experienced a depreciation crisis.

Before World War I, one dollar could be exchanged for five francs.

After the war, it was reduced to one dollar to fifteen francs.

By the beginning of the year, the dollar had soared to a high of twenty francs.

The United States, having made a large loan to Germany, demanded that France withdraw its troops from the Ruhr area.

But the Frenchman refused this request, so the franc began to depreciate on a small scale at the beginning of the year, and by now it has reached 1 to 27 dollars against the franc.

Therefore, although de Broglie cut the price of the vacuum pump by a quarter, the dollar also appreciated by about one-third against the franc, so that one rise and one drop (3/4*4/3=1), in fact, for the franc, it is completely standing still, and the price is even a little higher!

However, Chen Muwu realized that the 1,500 pounds he had received after discovering the Yellow Emperor Star should now be enough to pay the 6,000 dollars.

Is he thinking about whether he also shares a part of De Broglie?

It was really unbearable to let De Brogyi be the head of this wrong.

"Louie, after the recent discovery of a new planet, I also received a lot of bonuses, why don't we pay half of the money for this vacuum pump?"

"Chen, there is no need for this, you are alone in the UK, and it is difficult to earn some money and live. Leave the money to me, you just need to do the experiments. Now, can you take me to your lab? ”

"This ...... I don't have a lab yet, so I'm going to Mr. Chadwick and see if I can get one. ”

The laboratory is also one of Cavendish's scarce resources, and the last time Chen Muwu did experiments in an independent laboratory was the refraction of visible light.

Even Kapitsa, who had been promoted, remained in front of a laboratory table in the open laboratory on the first floor, just because what he was doing now was that the experiment did not require any large instruments and did not need a dark environment.

……

Upon learning of the arrival of the French guests, Rutherford also came forward to receive de Broglie.

When these two people stand together, it is completely like a chicken and a duck.

One is a New Zealand big voice, the other is a small French nobleman, sometimes they can't understand each other, and Chen Muwu has to come forward to translate a few sentences for the two of them.

Probably in order not to lose face in front of his French counterparts, Rutherford instructed Chadwick that afternoon to arrange an independent laboratory for Chen Muwu and De Broglie.

While cleaning the room, putting the vacuum electron diffraction tubes that had been installed long ago into the laboratory, and waiting for the vacuum pump to be transported from London to Cambridge, Chen Muwu walked around the laboratory.

On the door of one of the labs next to them was the name of Edmund Stoner.

Chen Muwu knew that Stoner, who was three years older than him, would be an expert in magnetism in the future, and there was a theorem named after him in the study of ferromagnets.

But now, he doesn't seem to have started studying magnetism, and he doesn't know what experiments he is doing in the lab next door.

When he returned home in the evening, Chen Muwu asked his landlord, Mrs. Brown, if he could bring a new tenant home to borrow it for a few days.

When Mrs. Brown heard that the visitor was French, she immediately agreed.

She wondered if she could also fool the French to cook a few French dishes for herself, but how did she know that this Frenchman was a French nobleman who had to bring servants when he went out?

As a result, de Broglie stayed at Mrs. Brown's house for only one night, and the next day he took the servants who had brought the vacuum pump from London to the best hotel in Cambridgeshire.

In the Cavendish laboratory, he didn't sleep well all night, and His Excellency the little prince with two dark circles under his eyes didn't forget to complain to Chen Muwu: "The environment of this Cavendish laboratory is poor, Chen, why is the environment so bad even where you live?" It's hard for you to work and live here alone for more than a year!

"If you want me to say, after you graduate, you will go to my brother's laboratory in France, whether it is the experimental environment, the accommodation conditions, and the taste of the food, it is much stronger than this England!"

This was secretly said in the small laboratory, and if Rutherford heard it, he would definitely scold De Broglie for this kind of digging into the wall.

After all, who doesn't love genius?

Thank you Sadox for the big tip, and thank you all for the tips, monthly passes and referral tickets. Thanks a lot!
