119 Copley Medal winner
Chen Muwu felt that Ehrenfest persuaded him to meet with Einstein, which was very similar to his eldest brother Chen Muqiao.
He said that he couldn't understand the few papers he had published in the Annals of Physics, but the follow-up words still showed that Ehrenfest was on Rainstein's side, that is, he did not want to admit that several concepts proposed by Chen Muwu in quantum mechanics were correct.
Chen Muwu didn't expect that he had deliberately bypassed Germany and came to the Netherlands, but he could still meet Einstein's lobbyists here.
Chen Muwu thought in his heart when his academic prestige would reach the heights of Einstein, and wherever he went, he would be able to have followers spontaneously help him tout.
However, it is impossible to meet, and Chen Muwu never believes that after the interview with Einstein, this somewhat stubborn middle-aged man will give up the preconceptions he has always insisted on and admit the correctness of quantum mechanics.
Chen Muwu could only excuse himself that his schedule was very full, and he couldn't stay in Leiden for a few days, let alone take time to come to Germany, so he turned down Ehrenfest's invitation.
He also said that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely explain these things to Dr. Einstein in person.
At the same time, Chen Muwu felt that his stay in the Netherlands must not be too long, otherwise maybe Ehrenfest would really write a letter to call Einstein to the Netherlands, so when the time comes, even if he doesn't want to see him, he must see him.
After staying at Ehrenfest's house for one night, and when he woke up the next day, Chen Muwu refused his host's invitation to take him on a tour of Leiden.
He was anti-guest, hoping to ask Ehrenfest to take his eldest brother to visit Leiden University, and meet and chat with professors, teachers, and classmates.
After all, Chen Muqiao's trip abroad is also a semi-official nature, to participate in his younger brother Chen Muwu's Nobel Prize ceremony, and at the same time, he also applied for funding from Nanyang University, saying that he wanted to go to European countries to study education.
Previously, Chen Muqiao had gone all the way west and had inspected several universities in Sulian, Sweden and Denmark.
Now that his eldest brother is justified, Chen Muwu can also evade Ehrenfest's persuasion by the way.
After leaving Ehrenfest's home, Chen Muwu took Oppenheimer with him and went directly to the low-temperature physics laboratory of Laiyi University.
There was only one person left at Ehrenfest's house, and there was no need to say much about what he was doing there.
William Hendrick Kitem, the current director of the Laboratory of Cryogenic Physics at Leiden University, greeted Chen Muwu and Oppenheimer at the door.
He was a student of Kamerin Onnes, who, after the latter's retirement, took over the position of director of the laboratory.
"Dr. Chen, congratulations on winning the Nobel Prize in Physics, and welcome to the Cryogenic Physics Laboratory at Leiden University."
"Thank you, Mr. Kitsum."
Standing behind Kitsum to welcome the crowd was Yoshio Nishina, who left Copenhagen for the Netherlands more than a month ago.
He has now entered the low-temperature physics laboratory to work and study.
Yoshio Nishina was very happy to meet Chen Muwu again at Leiden University, and thought that this Chinese man did not hide anything from him, and he should really think that low-temperature physics and superconductivity are the mainstream direction of physics in the future.
Otherwise, Chen Muwu would not have received the Nobel Prize in Physics, and the first stop on his return trip was to the Netherlands.
"Lord Chen Muwu, I am very happy to see you again in the Netherlands. First of all, congratulations on winning this year's Nobel Prize in Physics, you have really won glory for us Asians this time, and proved that I Asians are no worse than white people in Europe and America, and can also achieve the best results in physics.
"The content of your speech at the Nobel Prize ceremony is also very interesting, and it is no less than the 'heliocentric theory' proposed by Copernicus hundreds of years ago. If everything is as you say, then maybe we need to have a new understanding of the universe. ”
Chen Muwu didn't want to say some kind words to him, so he went straight to the point: "Mr. Renke, I'm glad to see you start to engage in research in low-temperature physics.
"It's inconvenient to tell me what kind of work you've been doing lately? How is the research on superconductivity of element 81 going? ”
Hearing this question, Yoshio Nishina was a little embarrassed: "This ...... Dr. Chen, I have only been here at Leiden University for more than a month, and I am currently observing and training in the laboratory, and I need to further understand and master the experimental skills, and only after learning the operation specifications in the laboratory can I do the experiments myself. ”
"Okay, then I hope you continue to work hard and strive to be able to devote yourself to experimental research as soon as possible."
"Yes! I will definitely make persistent efforts to be like Dr. Chen, and win glory for us East Asians! ”
Chen Muwu was a little disappointed, he thought that Yoshio Nishina had already begun to come into contact with the wonderful and magical metal element of thallium.
Unexpectedly, the truth was far from what he thought.
The Netherlands, which borders Germany, is still within the sphere of influence of white Europeans.
As a yellow man from the Far East, even when he arrives in the Netherlands, Yoshio Nishina still has a faint feeling that he is being discriminated against by the Omi ghost animals in the laboratory.
He has only been in the low-temperature physics laboratory for more than a month, and as the one who is discriminated against, naturally no one would let Yoshio Nishina conduct experimental research so quickly.
The current Yoshio Nishina is so attentive that after greeting Chen Muwu, he skips William Hendrick Kitham, the director of the Low Temperature Physics Laboratory, and consciously acts as a guide for Chen Muwu.
Yoshio Nishina began to introduce him to the various situations in the laboratory, and naturally there were some careful thoughts in it.
Now Chen Muwu, a Nobel laureate in physics from the Far East, has come to Leiden University, and if he shows a very close relationship with him, then these Caucasians will probably look up to him in the future, right?
Therefore, Nishina Yoshio lowered his eyebrows in front of Chen Muwu, respectfully and respectfully, and brought out his own characteristics to the fullest.
Under the introduction of Yoshio Nishina, Chen Muwu followed him to visit the low-temperature physics laboratory.
Compared with the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge, this one at Leiden University is small and sophisticated, they only focus on the specialized branch of physics of low-temperature physics, and after more than ten years of construction, they have achieved good results in it.
The door to the laboratory began to bustle again, and Director Kitem appeared there accompanied by a balding old man with a long white beard.
It was none other than Professor Kamerin Onnes, the founder of the Laboratory of Low-Temperature Physics at Leiden University, the discoverer of the superconductivity effect, and the 1913 Nobel Prize winner in physics.
The old man, who is 71 years old and has been retired at home for more than a year, made a special trip back to his former work unit after learning of Chen Muwu's arrival today, and came to meet the new Nobel laureate in physics.
After the two met, there was another greeting as usual, and the first sentence of Onnes was still inseparable from congratulating Chen Muwu on winning this year's Nobel Prize in Physics.
Just to congratulate him on winning the Nobel Prize, Chen Muwu has listened to it three times so far today.
He felt that he had left Holland for France, and that he still had to be congratulated like this by many people.
Eventually, when we returned to England, we had to repeat it again.
After the polite end, the first question that Onnes asked, of course, was inseparable from his old profession where he had worked for decades.
"Dr. Chen, do you really think that the future development direction of physics is in superconductivity research?"
Belch.
Not only Onnes, Kitem, and Yoshio Nishina, but also the teachers, students, and staff in the entire low-temperature physics laboratory are all looking forward to hearing what Chen Muwu's answer is.
Chen Muwu didn't expect that the person Yoshio Renke was really sincere, could it be that he lied to him and told the entire laboratory about it?
Alas, if you tell a lie, you have to use ten lies to make it round.
Fortunately, Chen Muwu came to Leiden University this time to continue to deceive Yoshio Nishina while buying equipment.
So he didn't have any psychological burden to lie, but he felt a little sorry for the old man opposite, and before he died, he had to be deceived by himself again.
"Professor Onness, of course, I think that the study of low-temperature physics and superconductivity is an important direction for the future development of physics.
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have made a special trip to Leiden University after receiving the Nobel Prize.
"To tell you the truth, I came to your low-temperature physics laboratory this time, and on the one hand, I also want to take some experimental equipment from here, as well as purchase a batch of liquid nitrogen, liquid hydrogen and other cryogenic liquids from the factory attached to the laboratory, and bring them back to the UK for experimental research."
Chen Muwu told the truth.
This low-temperature physics laboratory at Leiden University can be regarded as a model of industry-university-research.
In 1894, before Onness established the current large laboratory for low-temperature physics, a large liquefied gas plant was built at Leiden University in 1894.
He competed with James Dewar of England, the one who invented the dewar bottle, the predecessor of the thermos, to see who could be the first to liquefy the two remaining gases, hydrogen and helium, which had not been liquefied, and Dewar was the first to liquefy hydrogen in 1898, while Onnes was the first to liquefy the world's last unliquefied helium in 1908.
With Onness's reputation as the discoverer of liquid helium, the Liquefied Gas plant at Leiden University saw a significant increase in sales and production.
In addition, the insulation technology has been very mature, and now this factory can supply more than 80% of low-temperature liquid gases such as liquid hydrogen, liquid helium, liquid oxygen and so on to various universities and laboratories in Europe.
Sometimes, if you don't need this cryogenic gas in large quantities, it's much more convenient to buy it directly from Leiden University's liquefied gas plant than to cool it yourself in your own lab.
The main purpose of Chen Muwu's visit to Leiden University this time is to get acquainted with the experimental equipment in the low-temperature physics laboratory, briefly understand and learn the experimental operation process, and then consider buying some refrigeration equipment and another batch of liquid hydrogen and liquid helium.
But he only has the intention now, and it is impossible to pay for it on the spot.
Because Rutherford didn't know about it, there was no room in the Cavendish laboratory to make him a special cryogenic laboratory and place the equipment.
Chen Muwu had to go back and discuss with his teacher, and then buy the corresponding instruments and materials from Leiden University by writing a letter or taking a telegram.
He wants to buy these things, and studying superconductivity is one thing.
But the real purpose is to mix behind liquid nitrogen and inadvertently lift liquid hydrogen.
"Okay, since Dr. Chen, you are so optimistic about the prospects of low-temperature physics, otherwise I don't think you should go back to the UK and stay directly at our Leiden University in the Netherlands," Onnes said with a smile, "It's not that I'm boasting, if you talk about the low-temperature physics laboratories in the world now, Leiden University must be the best, even those rich American universities on the other side of the ocean, they don't have such good equipment as us." ”
Yes, there is another one digging the foot of the wall.
But staying in the Netherlands, of course, it is impossible to stay in the Netherlands.
First of all, Chen Muwu said that superconductivity is the mainstream in the future, which is simply to deceive Yoshio Renko.
Secondly, Chen Muwu did not want to learn another Dutch language.
Finally, although the Netherlands also called itself a neutral country, as a neighbor of Germany, both Denmark and the Netherlands, were occupied by Germany in World War II and became victims of the "Manstein Plan".
"Professor Onnes, thank you for the invitation, I have made a very good impression on this laboratory at Leiden University, both in terms of equipment and management, and all the people who work in it. But Sir Rutherford has been kind to me, and I cannot now abandon him after some success.
"However, I would like to dare to recommend someone to you......"
Hearing Chen Muwu say this, Oppenheimer couldn't help but prick up his ears.
His two Chinese classmates, because of their studies, followed Kapitsa back to the UK after the award ceremony.
He is the only student who is following Chen Muwu now.
Teacher Chen suddenly wants to recommend someone to Onnes, who else can there be besides himself?
Thinking of this, Oppenheimer was a little uneasy.
He has already tried his best to change his reckless character, and he has been cautious recently, just to stay by Chen Muwu's side and learn more knowledge from him.
It stands to reason that he himself should not have offended the teacher, why did Chen Muwu push himself out here?
But hearing what his teacher said next, Oppenheimer put a hanging heart in his stomach again.
"......, Mr. Nishina, please come here."
Chen Mujun looked very enthusiastic, and Yoshio Nishina, who had been explaining the situation of this laboratory to me just now, called out to his side.
"Professor Onnes, this Mr. Yoshio Nishina, on my recommendation, recently left Professor Bohr's Institute of Theoretical Physics in Copenhagen to study superconductivity at Leiden University.
"Now that we know the critical temperature of superconductivity for mercury and lead, I'm curious about what the critical temperature of thallium sandwiched between these two elements is.
"I told Mr. Nishina about it in Denmark, and after listening to what I said, he left there and came to Leiden to work on the superconductivity of thallium.
"Mr. Renke, like me, is an Asian from the Far East, and he also has a hard-working and resolute character, I think you can give him a chance in the laboratory, maybe he will give you a big surprise."
Oppenheimer was puzzled.
Didn't Chen Muwu say that he didn't like me? Why have you become so enthusiastic now?
Yoshio Nishina burst into tears.
This Chen Muwu, he did what he said.
Before in Copenhagen, he told himself that superconductivity is the mainstream of the future, and at that time, he was still a villain's belly, thinking that he was a person with bad intentions.
Unexpectedly, he not only came to Leiden University to inquire about low-temperature physics in person, and planned to buy the corresponding instruments, but also recommended himself to the person in charge of the laboratory in a high manner.
Yoshio Nishina felt that those "Analects"
, "Mencius" and other ancient Chinese books talk about the benevolent gentleman, but just like Chen Muwu, right?
Yoshio Nishina is now even more convinced that superconductivity and low-temperature physics do have a great future.
He secretly determined that he must continue to work hard as Chen Muwu said, and strive to be able to conduct experiments by himself as soon as possible, find the critical temperature of the superconductivity effect of the thallium metal, and not embarrass them to East Asians.
"Dr. Chen, this point of view of yours is very novel. We really haven't studied thallium as an element, but we can try it. ”
Of course, Onnes is willing to give Chen Muwu this face.
Although he is now retired and no longer the director of the laboratory, he still has great prestige in front of his students and disciples.
Onnes said to Kitham, who was following him, "William, since Dr. Chen has said so, then please respect his opinion and give this young man, who is also from East Asia, a chance." ”
"Thank you, Professor Ones."
The excited Nishina Yoshio shouted louder than Chen Muwu, who was speaking in unison with him.
……
Chen Muwu and Oppenheimer spent a day in the low-temperature physics laboratory, waiting until it was dark before attending the Nobel Prize celebration banquet specially held by Leiden University for Eintofen and Chen Muwu, who arrived temporarily.
At this dinner, Chen Muwu met an old acquaintance again, Lorentz, who once questioned that his proposed electron spin violated the theory of relativity.
Lorenz is the same age as Onnes, who came to the scene, and this old man, who is also 71 years old this year, saw Chen Muwu again, and he was also very emotional, this young man is climbing too fast in physics.
I first noticed him at the end of last year, and I wrote to Rutherford at the Cavendish Laboratory a few times, and then sent him an invitation to the Solvay Conference.
After that, he continued to make great progress, and achieved more unexpected results and conclusions in microphysics.
Now, Lorenz's perception of Chen Muwu can be said to be both love and hate.
What I love is that the electron spin proposed by Chen Muwu at that meeting of all people really solves the anomalous Zeeman effect that he could not explain before.
And the causes of hate are complex.
At the beginning of the first period, after Chen Muwu published his first paper on wave equations, Lorenz, who had an excellent level of mathematics, found a problem after reading the paper.
Because in this paper, Chen Muwu did not give a specific explanation of the wave function.
So Lorenz, like Schrödinger, thinks of the particle as the wave package of the wave.
He calculated that I included divergence over time, which was completely contrary to the stability of the electrons observed in the experiments.
As soon as Lorenz wanted to write a letter to Chen Muwu or publish a paper to raise the problem he had discovered, he read the paper that Chen Muwu published after he had finished sorting out the content of the lecture on probability waves.
Lorenz, like Einstein, was a big believer in the law of cause and effect, and did not believe that the probability of electrons appearing was random.
In his old age, he didn't even agree with the theory of relativity, even though Einstein used it everywhere in his special theory of relativity, Lorentz first derived the formula mathematically, and named the Lorentz transform after him.
This led to Lorenz now shaking hands with Chen Muwu with a wry smile on his face.
"Dr. Chen, after half a year, we meet again.
"During this six months, you have brought many very impressive ideas to the physics community.
"Some of these views I agree with, but some of them challenge my bottom line again and again. I will never again believe that so-called science can still correspond to objective facts.
"I sometimes wonder why I'm still alive. I just regret that I didn't die half a year ago, at least the physics concepts you came up with were still cute, helping to solve the problem of the anomalous Zeeman effect, and you didn't bring up the nasty things like probability waves. ”
No, no, not really.
These words spoken by Lorenz Chen Muwu really couldn't answer.
He is now in his seventies, unlike Einstein, who was in his forties, in the prime of life.
It is impossible for Chen Muwu to continue to stimulate the dying Lorenz like he did in a verbal fight with Einstein.
He was afraid that he would make something out of the ordinary and let the world's famous physicist die a few years early.
Chen Muwu also complained a little about Lorenz in his heart.
Confucius once said, "Seventy and do what you want."
They are also about 70 years old, and their master Tomson Sr. is either playing golf or watching cricket games every day, and he never cares about the latest progress in physics.
Even if he later learned that Chen Muwu said that electrons are a kind of wave, old Tomson just smiled.
Anyway, in his cognition, the electron he discovered can only be a particle, and you can say whatever you like!
"Professor Lorenz, you don't have to. I'm just proposing a hypothesis that describes the motion of electrons. As I said when I first wrote about matrix mechanics, we don't yet have an observation of how electrons actually move, so the truth of the matter may not be. ”
Chen Muwu racked his brains, trying to search for comforting words in his brain.
If he had known that this would be the case at this banquet tonight, he would have hurried to France overnight, and would not have stayed in Holland for another night.
This was the end of the trip to Leiden, and Chen Muwu originally planned to leave the Netherlands for France the next day, and then return to Cambridge University for New Year's Day after Christmas in Paris.
However, his eldest brother Chen Muqiao had the improvised idea to go to The Hague, 12 kilometers from Leiden, to visit an old man, Wang Chonghui, who was serving as an alternate judge of the Permanent International Tribunal and a member of the International Law Revision Commission.
Chen Muwu lamented that his eldest brother's connections were really wide, but he could only agree to accompany his eldest brother, who did not know foreign languages, to The Hague to meet with this legal expert first, and then turn back to Paris south.
After such a toss, the four of them finally arrived at the train station in Paris, France, on the evening of December 23.
This time, De Broglie did not come to pick up the station, but only sent a driver who knew Ye Gongchao, and the driver directly sent the four people to De Broglie's house.
Now, the one who is more nervous than Chen Muwu is Chen Muqiao.
He quietly complained in his heart, why his brother had to find a foreign daughter-in-law, and he was going to meet with someone's family tomorrow, he didn't know what etiquette was in France.
Chen Muqiao thought about asking Ye Gongchao to take him to the place where Chinese people gathered tomorrow to get some gifts, and when he saw his in-laws for the first time, he couldn't come to the door empty-handed.
Although he has received education in the new culture, Chen Muqiao's views on the major events of marriage between men and women are still based on the old tradition.
He even thought that when he met this time, he would set the wedding date with his younger brother's mother-in-law, after all, he would return to China after the year, and after arriving in the sea, it would not be so convenient to communicate with Britain and France.
Chen Muwu didn't know what his eldest brother was thinking, and if he knew, he would definitely laugh off his big teeth, because his eldest brother was too worried.
Even if he had already decided that he would choose Eve to spend the rest of his life with him in this life, Chen Muwu did not plan to get married so early.
One is because Eve has not yet graduated from her Sévigne college, and after she graduates and gets a bachelor's degree, Chen Muwu also plans to fool this little girl to the United Kingdom, let her go to her side to study in college, and cultivate feelings and talk about love by the way.
The second is because Chen Muwu will never propose to Marie Curie's second daughter Eve before Eve's eldest sister Irena Curie gets married.
Chen Muwu's brother-in-law, Jean-Frédéric Joliot-Curie, combined his surname Joliot with Irene's surname Curie after marrying Marie Curie's eldest daughter, Irene, and became Joliot-Curie.
The reason he gave for doing so was that Curie, one of the great names in the history of French physics, could not be left without descendants.
Frédéric Joliot-Curie's change of surname was despised by many people at the time, believing that he wanted to gain a foothold in the French physics community by virtue of the reputation of his mother-in-law, Marie Curie.
Chen Muwu respects Marie Curie very much, and his achievements in physics are high enough, even if he marries Eve now, no one will think that he Chen Muwu is a son-in-law who eats soft rice.
But Chen Muwu can't accept changing his surname to the compound surname of Chen-Curie after getting married, so let his brother-in-law change his surname first, and wait for a year or two later, and then happily hug the beauty and let Eve Curie become his own Mrs. Chen.
Chen Muwu, who was tired from the journey, slept comfortably at De Broglie's house, and when he opened his eyes the next day, after thinking twice, he decided to go to the Paris Radium Institute alone to visit his future mother-in-law.
Compared with the Lorenz who wanted to die if he didn't agree with him in Leiden two days ago, Chen Muwu is now more afraid of seeing Marie Curie herself.
The last time the two met, and the first time they met each other, was in Brussels, Belgium.
As a result, when they met again, they were going to abduct the little daughter she had worked so hard to raise.
Cabbage that has been planted for 20 years is suddenly going to be arched by a pig, even if this pig is knowledgeable, handsome and young and golden, but when the mother has some resistance in her heart.
De Broglie said that he was going with him, and he made it clear that he wanted to see the joke of your good friend, but in the end he was stopped by Chen Muwu.
Seeing her future mother-in-law again, Marie Curie was still as quiet and elegant as she was at the Solvay Conference in Brussels last time, but Chen Muwu was nervous.
Although it was the coldest winter of the year, beads of sweat were faintly forming on his forehead.
Although there is a double grant from the University of Paris and the French government, the conditions in this laboratory are also very modest, comparable to the Cavendish laboratory at the University of Cambridge.
The point is that there is no measure to prevent radiation, and long-term exposure to such an environment is a great damage to the human body.
Chen Muwu felt that he had to remind Marie Curie this time and persuade her to do personal protection when she did experiments in the future.
The difficulties he imagined when his mother-in-law saw her new son-in-law did not happen, and Marie Curie did not torture Chen Muwu, and after chatting a few words about her little daughter, she shifted the topic to academics.
Although Marie Curie was nearly sixty years old, her passion for scholarship remained unsubdued.
Every day, in addition to teaching at the University of Paris, I returned to the Institute of Radium to study radioactive elements.
Of the achievements that Marie Curie was most interested in Chen's achievements, it was not the fact that light is a particle and the electron is a wave, nor the series of simple or complex mathematical operations in quantum mechanics, but the evidence of nuclear transmutation that Chen Muwu found in so many photographs taken by Blackett last year.
After talking about academic topics, Chen Muwu gradually relaxed from his nervousness.
On Christmas Eve, coupled with the visit of guests, Marie Curie even ended her work early today and returned to her home with Chen Muwu.
Eve, who was very warm and generous in Denmark and Sweden before, was unusual, she secretly grimaced at Chen Muwu, and hid in her house shyly.
But Marie Curie is pulling her future son-in-law and looking at various photos of Eve from childhood to adulthood.
Looking at it, Marie Curie, who is a strong woman, couldn't help but feel a little sad, her voice was slightly choked, and she was afraid that she would lose her daughter's company from now on.
This made Chen Muwu very embarrassed, and he felt more and more that he was the heinous pig.
Fortunately, De Broglie once again acted as a firefighting hero, and according to the previous agreement with Chen Muwu, he took Chen Muqiao to visit the door, and successfully shifted the pressure to Chen Muqiao's side.
And Chen Muwu simply used the excuse of giving Ye Gongchao a hand and went directly into the kitchen.
"Third Uncle Chen, when are you and this Miss Eve going to get married?"
"Can you stop the third uncle and the third uncle from screaming, this generation is awkward to listen to me,"
Since he met Chen Muqiao, Ye Gongchao has changed his name to him, otherwise he will call his eldest brother uncle, and call him Brother Hanchen, Ye Gongchao feels that sooner or later he will have schizophrenia.
It's just that this makes Chen Muwu feel wrong, they are about the same age, could it be that this year's New Year, do you still have to pay for this cheap nephew?
"It's still early to get married, but you, have you finished writing the latest book "Tragedy on the Nile"?"
"I'll finish it right away! Write it right away! It's just an end! Rest assured, I will deliver the manuscript to you before you and my uncle leave France! ”
When it came to the manuscript, Ye Gongchao suddenly lost his interest in chatting.
He just kept reminding himself secretly that no matter where or what Uncle Chen invited him to go in the future, he had to think twice before giving an answer.
……
Christmas 1924 passed like this, and after two more days in Paris, Ye Gongchao finally handed over his manuscript, and Chen Muwu finally set off for England.
His journey lasted two or three months, and basically circumnavigated the entire northwestern Europe.
But at the thought of taking a boat again, Chen Muwu had a headache again.
But his headache soon dissipated, for de Brog, after learning that his good friend had suddenly become more afraid of the ship's bad problem, offered a solution that belonged to the aristocracy.
Of course, even if De Broglie had money, he would not be able to dig a tunnel or build a bridge in the English Channel for Chen Muwu.
The suggestion he gave was to let Chen Muwu go to the airport in Versailles to take a plane, and it only took more than three hours to fly directly from Paris to London.
Hearing this suggestion given by De Broglie, Chen Muwu suddenly felt that it was better to take the steamer incense.
Not to mention how bad the experience of flying is now in the era when civil aviation was just starting, Chen Muwu was really worried about the safety performance of early airplanes and did not dare to take this risk himself.
He declined de Broglie's offer and asked him to help buy three tickets back to England.
Eve, De Broglie and Ye Gongchao went to the station in Paris to say goodbye together.
The first person was teary-eyed, a little reluctant to leave.
The second person also had a very solemn expression, and told Chen Muwu that if he had the opportunity, he must come to Paris more often to play with himself.
The last one was expressionless, and even a little happy in his heart.
The train whistles and the wheels roll forward slowly.
On the evening of December 29, before the New Year, Chen Muwu finally returned to Cambridge University after a long absence, and returned to his room at Trinity College.
According to the regulations, his eldest brother Chen Muqiao is not allowed to live in the academy.
So before that, Chen Muwu first went to find Mrs. Brown, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and it just so happened that there was a room on her second floor that was empty.
With the friendship between Chen Muwu and Mrs. Brown, Chen Muqiao successfully lived here.
On the second day after returning to Cambridgeshire, the first thing Chen Muwu did was to go to Rutherford's house and "plead guilty" to his teacher.
"Look, the latest Nobel laureate in physics is back!"
I haven't heard a loud shout for a few months, but now that I see the strong New Zealand man in front of me again, Chen Muwu suddenly feels very cordial.
"Teacher, I'm sorry, but before I left Cambridge University, I promised you to come back before Christmas and come to your house to spend the holidays together. It turned out to be a few days late in the end, I hope you can forgive me. ”
"Chen, Kapitsa has already told me about you.
"I didn't expect you to be quiet on weekdays, but you deceived the girl from the Curie family."
Chen Muwu blushed after hearing this, it was just Yoshio Nishina who sold himself at Leiden University, why did he return to Cambridge and even the thick-eyed Kapitsa come to backstab himself?
Now in Rutherford's eyes, hasn't he become a person who forgets his master when he has a wife?
Rutherford also discovered the embarrassment of his beloved apprentice, so he quickly found a step for him: "On the day of the end of this year's Solvay Conference, I noticed that the little girl was interested in you.
"Before I left New Zealand, I told your wife that when I made a name for myself in physics, I would take her to England and marry her
"You've achieved so much academically now, far better than I did back then. So what are you shy about? You're also at an age where it's time to talk to a girl about a relationship. ”
After chatting a few words, Chen Muwu explained to Rutherford that he wanted to establish a low-temperature physics laboratory in the Cavendish laboratory.
The favored one had no fear, and he had brought 10,000 pounds a year to the laboratory, and now he had won a Nobel Prize in Physics.
Then he told Chen Muwu another thing.
"Chen, when is your brother leaving England?"
"Teacher, it is estimated that he will not leave for China until the end of January, after the traditional Chinese New Year."
"Is it from London?"
"If nothing else, it should be from London."
"Well, after the New Year, you're going to go with me to London.
"There's already news from the Royal Society that because you won the Nobel Prize in Physics, they plan to recruit you as a fellow of the Royal Society, and by the way, because of the electron diffraction experiment you did before, and then award you the Hughes Medal for 25 years. We're going to London for the new membership and awards ceremony.
"Again, it's a little bit of news, the 25-year winner of the Royal Society's Copley Medal is also an old acquaintance of yours. Guess who he is? ”
After deleting Hearthstone, I finally wrote 10,000 words today.
I can only say that Hearthstone is not shallow to harm people, and when I was on the slag two days ago, I didn't dare to click on this chapter and book review, for fear that I would be scolded for being short and weak.
Today, I finally made up for what I owed before, and I made up for the readers.
(End of chapter)
