Sitting in the car, driving on the way from the train station to the accommodation that De Broglie had prepared for Chen Muwu, the two good friends did not meet for a few months, and first introduced each other's lives to each other in the recent past.

Chen Muwu said that after the Solvay Conference, he returned to Cambridge, not only did the Stern-Grach experiment of the ground state hydrogen atom, but also wrote his graduation thesis, successfully completed the defense, obtained a doctorate, and also got a teaching position at Cambridge University.

He said this unintentionally, but as soon as he mentioned the word doctorate, de Broglie was also happy to tell Chen Muwu that after returning to France from visiting Albert Einstein and other scientists in Germany, he also got a doctorate.

This makes Chen Muwu a little strange, without the thesis of matter waves, how did de Broglie get his doctorate?

In the ensuing chat, de Broglie further unravels the answer to the puzzle.

It is estimated that everyone knows that it is too embarrassing for a doctorate to be in the sixth year, so both his mentor Langevin and his eldest brother Morris secretly exert their efforts.

Eventually, they sent de Broglie to Maurice's private laboratory to conduct an X-ray experiment, write a thesis, and then take it to his doctoral defense.

With Langevin and Morris behind him, De Broglie barely got his Ph.D. this time.

Hearing that the process of his graduation was so difficult, Chen Muwu felt more and more as if he couldn't stand the person in front of him.

But in the car, De Broglie, who had just obtained his doctorate, was very elated, and called him "Doctor Chen" one by one, and Chen Muwu could only respond with "Doctor de Broi" one by one.

Unlike the last time he came to Paris, De Broglie changed Chen Muwu's accommodation this time.

Compared to the villa I stayed in the last time I traveled to Brussels for the Solvay Conference, this new residence has a large courtyard and is more like a castle than a villa.

As soon as he entered the door, Chen Muwu was on the side of the courtyard and found the standard swimming pool that had been dug up.

Compared with the 50-meter by 5-meter shabby beggar's version dug by the members of the Cambridge Swimming Club by the Cam River, the little nobles directly arranged for people to dig the 50-meter by 25-meter tall upper version of the pool.

De Broglie even proudly introduced to Chen Muwu: "This is the construction team I specially invited for this Olympic Games, so that they can completely reproduce the dimensions of this competition venue, although the conditions are a little simple, but I think it should be enough for you to familiarize yourself with the competition environment in advance." ”

Oh my boy, how much does this cost?

Chen Muwu asked himself, he would never be able to do such a big deal in the face of his friends.

Best knew that the nobles were rich, but he didn't know that the nobles could be so rich.

He was obviously also taken aback by the scene in front of him, he didn't expect that this friend of Chen Muwu would be so generous.

The servants had already packed up their rooms, and each of them chose one to live in.

De Broglie said that he didn't have anything to do in the summer anyway, so he simply stayed here and lived with Chen Muwu.

……

The country house in Debroiye has an elegant environment, clean rooms, delicious meals and excellent service.

Everywhere is good, the only thing that is not satisfactory is that the location is too far from the center of Paris.

Of course, it doesn't matter to people like Chen Muwu and Best who train in the pool all day, but it's different for people like Ye Gongchao who love to be lively.

It was his first time in Paris, and the first day he was in the villa, but everywhere was fresh.

But after this freshness passed, Ye Gongchao began to feel a little uncomfortable.

So the day after arriving in Paris, Ye Gongchao said goodbye to Chen Muwu and moved out of Debroire's villa with his luggage.

He said that before he came to France, he found a house in the city of Paris through the relationship of the École Supérieure de Paris.

Ye Gongchao plans to move out in the next few days to familiarize himself with the situation around the campus.

When Chen Muwu started the game, he went to the scene to cheer for him and cheer.

Chen Muwu originally thought that with Ye Gongchao, a gourmet, by his side, after the training, it would be more convenient to eat what kind of food he wanted.

But De Broglie didn't give Ye Gongchao a chance to cook at all, he felt that Chen Muwu trained too much exercise every day, so he always let the kitchen serve all kinds of delicious dishes in a different way.

Although it is true that there are all kinds of inconveniences in life now compared to a hundred years from now, there is no Internet, no television, no high-speed trains and cars......

But when it comes to food, the gap between the present and the future is very small, and people's tastes have not changed much.

The aristocracy is worthy of being a nobleman, and these things on the dining table are all high-end things that Chen Muwu could not reach when he was a poor student in his previous life.

But now, he is afraid that he will make some moths before the game because of his greedy mouth, so he can only taste every food in front of him.

In addition to training, Chen Muwu also thought about writing a letter to the Scie Ton Fa, inviting him to come to this villa in De Broglie, or find a time to meet him and talk about the opening ceremony.

After De Broglie knew about Chen Muwu's plan, he stopped him again:

"Chen, even in the same city of Paris, it takes a day or two to write a letter like yours, from mailing it to delivering it to the other party. And I'm too far from the city center, so why don't you send a servant to find the door according to this person's address, and give him a message directly, and invite him to come to the door as a guest? ”

So on the second night of his arrival in Paris, Chen Muwu met the Scie Ton Fa in Debroire's villa.

This person is about forty years old, with an upturned mustache on his mouth, and his appearance has the characteristics of both Orientals and Westerners, and he seems to be ...... Is it a half-blood?

Chen Muwu arched his hand: "Old gentleman, please go on a trip in person, the junior is Chen Hanchen." ”

"Mr. Chen is really a talent, he is really a 'hero from ancient times', an old Xie Dongfa, a person from Jiang in Suzhou Province."

"Mr. Xie, please!"

"Please."

The guests sat down, and after chatting a few words, they learned that Xie Dongfa's father, Xie Daming, came to France in 1878 with Zeng Jize, the minister of Britain and France in the Qing Dynasty, and took root there, started a porcelain business in the local area, and married a French wife.

Although Xie Dongfa claimed to be a native of Jiang, he had lived in Paris, France, since he was born in 1880, and only returned to Lihai once in 1902, where he obtained the nationality of the Qing Dynasty.

Xie Dongfa has a doctorate in law from the University of Paris, and with his Chinese-French mixed ancestry, he is very mixed with both the French and the Chinese.

In 1919, Hu Zhengzhi, a reporter for Ta Kung Pao, came to France single-handedly to report on the Paris Peace Conference that year, and hired Xie Dongfa as his assistant.

The refusal of the Chinese delegates to sign the Treaty of Versailles was the first to be announced to the Chinese people by the two of them.

Since then, Xie Dongfa has devoted himself to the press, and this time he was able to participate in the tracking and reporting of the Olympic Games, and it was also the name of the newspaper he personally found the Paris Olympic Organizing Committee.

Unexpectedly, after the successful registration, the Olympic Organizing Committee entrusted him with another task, that is, to become the accompanying commissioner of the Chinese delegation.

This news made Xie Dongfa surprised and delighted, and he knew that the motherland he had only met once had actually sent athletes to participate in the Olympic Games.

On the list of Chinese athletes obtained by Xie Dongfa, in addition to Britain's "Chen Hanchen", there are also four overseas Chinese in the United States who have signed up to participate in the tennis competition of this Olympic Games.

Therefore, Xie Dongfa invited Chen Muwu to participate in the opening ceremony, and at the same time, he also sent telegrams to the four overseas Chinese.

But in the end, he only received an affirmative reply from Chen Muwu alone.

Although the remaining four people also sent a telegram back to Xie Dong from the United States, the content of the telegram was a very regrettable news: These four people will stay in the United States and make every effort to prepare for the Davis Cup tennis tournament at the end of July and early August, so they have given up their plans to come to Paris to participate in the Olympic Games.

For the first time, Chen Muwu heard that Chinese had signed up for this Olympic Games, which touched the blind spot of knowledge in his previous life.

Maybe it's because they just signed up, but they didn't finally participate, so they didn't leave a strong mark in the history of the Chinese Olympics, right?

However, Xie Dongfa raised a question with him with a look of embarrassment, that is, if these four overseas Americans did not come, Chen Muwu could only be allowed to represent China at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

In Xie Dongfa's thinking, the current Chinese people, even international students who have been studying abroad for a few years, may also show a timid little family spirit when facing the big scene.

So he was very worried that if he handed over the big scene of the opening ceremony to Chen Muwu alone, would he have stage fright.

This problem seems to be very serious in Xie Dongfa's heart, but here in Chen Muwu, it is not a matter at all.

From Zhao Junhao, the reporter of "Declaration" in the lecture hall of the Ministry of Maritime Industry, to Fan Yuanlian at the latest Gengzi negotiation venue in the United Kingdom.

Countless Chinese people who have been in contact with Chen Muwu have commented on him that this person has a kind of pride and self-confidence that is difficult to see in Chinese people.

Chen Muwu reveres Liu Changchun, who sailed across the ocean alone in 1932 to participate in the Los Angeles Olympics.

Although he failed in the end, he can still see from him the fearlessness of "although tens of millions of people go to me", and see the bright sword spirit of "facing a strong opponent, knowing that he is invincible, he must resolutely show his sword, and even if he falls, he must become a mountain and a ridge".

What's more, this time is different from that time, Chen Muwu is now confident enough to win the gold medal in the competition.

So what's wrong with attending the opening ceremony of the Olympics alone?

Therefore, this kind of self-confidence in Chen Muwu was once again shown in front of Xie Dongfa.

He relieved the latter to rest assured, and he would enter the venue on behalf of China at the opening ceremony, and he would have absolutely no problem, and there would be no mistakes.

……

After sending Xie Dongfa away, Chen Muwu continued to train in the pool of De Broglie's house for the next few days, with Best holding a stopwatch and pen and paper, providing help and advice for his training.

And De Broglie, who had nothing to do, first asked people to move a chair and observe Chen Muwu's daily training by the pool.

However, his curiosity was quickly exhausted like Ye Gongchao.

So de Broglie had another table set up by the pool, and three lucky servants were randomly selected to play mahjong with him.

After another two days, the latest issue of the Annals of Physics was finally shipped from Berlin, Germany, to Paris, France.

De Broglie, who was on the rise of mahjong, didn't care at first, but just threw the journal aside.

It was only during the break after lunch that he remembered that there was such a thing, so he opened the Annals of Physics and prepared to briefly browse the opening table of contents to see if physicists had made any new inventions and discoveries in the past month.

De Broglie was a French-German aristocrat, and he was well educated from an early age, so German was not a problem for him.

He was suddenly pleasantly surprised to find that this issue of the "Annals of Physics" has Chen Muwu's name on it.

"Chen, you actually secretly published a paper in the Annals of Physics! Why don't you tell me about this kind of thing in advance? What is this paper about? ”

Chen Muwu, who had eaten and drunk enough and finished resting, planned to continue the afternoon training, did not want to waste too much time on the issue of De Broglie.

Because he knew that once the conversation box was opened about this paper, he would not be able to hold it for a while.

"Well, as you can see, the title is clearly written, it is about quantum mechanics. As for what quantum mechanics is, you can read this article, I think it's quite interesting. ”

When Chen Muwu finished the afternoon training and came to land again from the water, he saw that De Broglie did not play mahjong with the servants, but sat at the table without saying a word.

"Louie, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Muwu asked knowingly.

"Chen, this paper of yours is too difficult, I ...... I don't understand it at all! Did you submit the wrong journal? This paper shouldn't have appeared in the Annals of Physics at all, you should have tried your luck with the dull mathematicians! ”

De Broglie replied with a depressed face.
