People sit in the laboratory, and money comes from the sky.

Chen Muwu has been coveting the big financiers behind Tycho and Galileo for a day or two, although in the past two years, he has also successively got acquainted with France's de Broglie, the British Duke of York and the Swedish crown prince, and has received a lot of sponsorship from them in various ways, but everyone is like Liu Xiu, who is not satisfied with hardship and looks back at Shu.

This kind of unjust boss who doesn't need to socialize, doesn't need to fool, just needs to put up a name, and can happily pay money for sponsorship is exactly what Chen Muwu dreamed of, he can't wait to accept it all, as much as he wants.

It's just that in Britain, there are too few rich and famous scientist aristocrats like Lord Kelvin.

In addition to him, Rayleigh IV, the son of Rayleigh III, Charles Darwin, Darwin's grandson, and, of course, Huxley's family.

However, these people do not have no children and no daughters like Kelvin, but they all have their own offspring, and they have no need to donate all their money to contribute to scientific research.

A situation like Kelvin can be encountered but not sought, Chen Muwu feels that there is no need to limit himself to this, as long as he is willing to pay, then Bu is willing to worship as his father-in-law.

He thought of the Lord Austin who donated 250,000 pounds for a cyclotron, if Chen Muwu called this machine the Austin cyclotron when developing the cyclotron in the future, would that old nobleman be able to burst out more gold coins?

It's not fantasy time, because in front of him stands Old Tomson, the dean of Trinity College.

Chen Muwu must quickly agree to this matter now, to avoid long nights and dreams, and what happens: "Sir, that's really good, I'm grateful for your help." That way, I don't have to worry about developing this particle accelerator at Cambridge University anymore – when are we going to London again? ”

"Wait for the next meeting of the Royal Society, anyway, you have some funds now, and I will go to Trinity College to find an accountant to allocate the money to you, and it should be enough for a period of time in the near future."

Old Tomson was about to get up as he spoke, and Chen Muwu quickly ran out of the desk: "No problem, sir, are you leaving?" I'll send you! ”

As the former director of the Cavendish Laboratory, the elder Tomson is still very respected.

When passing by the open laboratory on the first floor, the students and staff who were doing experiments inside stopped one after another to greet the old director.

If Maxwell is considered to be Gaozu, then Rayleigh III and Old Tomson can also be regarded as Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing of Cavendish Laboratory, and with their foreshadowing in front, there was the blowout development after Rutherford took over the laboratory.

Chen Muwu followed all the way down like the fox standing on the back of a tiger, wondering if he would have this opportunity to be respected by many people in the future.

Walking outside the door of the laboratory, Chen Muwu wanted to be separated from Old Tom Sun here, after all, there were three students in his room, and he would continue to talk about the accelerator after he returned.

"Dr. Chen, wait a minute!"

"What else, Sir Tomson?"

Chen Muwu had already turned around, but he turned back again after being called by the old Tom Sun behind him, he was afraid that something would happen to the bonus provided by the Lord Kelvin Foundation.

"There's another thing that comes to mind, and that's why I came to you today."

When people get old, their memory will deteriorate, and when Old Tom Sun heard Chen Muwu mention Kelvin, he was so excited that he forgot his original intention of wanting to come to Chen Muwu before.

Fortunately, I remembered it in time, otherwise, I would have to work hard for the old man to run to the laboratory again.

"You've been named a member of Trinity College this year, right?"

Chen Muwu nodded, could it be that if he had the status of an academician, would it be easier to apply for funds in the academy?

"That's right, it stands to reason that the academicians of the academy have to open at least one course in the academy every year, and now that the two semesters have passed, only the last semester in October is left, you see, can you prepare a course to come out? If you don't have time, you can give a few lectures, I think your topic of quantum mechanics is very good, haven't you already talked about it once in the Cavendish lab before? ”

It seems that the money is really not earned for nothing, isn't this just the way to work?

However, as early as the moment Chen Muwu became an academician, he had been clearly told that academicians would indeed have such an obligation to open at least one course every year.

But there are also ruthless people, such as the dean in front of him.

When he was young, the elder Tomson taught seven or eight courses a year, covering basically all aspects of mathematics and physics at that time, and wrote a set of textbooks in his free time.

Chen Muwu has been in London for the first half of this year, so in the first two semesters of this year, he has never had the opportunity or time to start classes at Cambridge University, and only this last semester is left.

Old Tomson may have thought of this, so he even thought of the topic of the lecture for Chen Muwu very intimately to help him get through the first year of becoming an academician.

It's just that Chen Muwu doesn't want to talk much about quantum mechanics.

When it came to lecturing, his first reaction was the Feynman Lectures on Physics.

It's very well written, so now it's "Chen's Lectures on Physics".

Richard Feynman, who was born in 1918, is still only six or seven years old.

But Lev Landau, who was born ten years before him, seems to be going to college, right?

Chen Muwu wanted to dig this up and send him to the soon-to-be-built Prince College in Sweden to listen to his lectures.

The ten-volume set of "Theoretical Physics Tutorials" he wrote dealt a lot more damage to Chen Muwu than his compatriot Jimidovich at that time!

The reason why Chen Muwu does not talk about quantum mechanics, but about mechanics, is also directly related to Sweden's Prince College.

It is estimated that the school should be completed by next year at the latest, and it is estimated that by 1927 the first students should be in place.

According to Chen Muwu's assumption, these people should all be high school graduates.

Because he plans to teach in Chinese, there is no need for them to go to Tsinghua School to study English and preparatory for a few years like those who study in the United States in order to get the Gengzi indemnity.

Of course, it also depends on the situation, it is likely that in the first few batches of students, many college graduates will also come to fight for these hard-won opportunities to study abroad.

But whether it is a high school graduate or a college student, Chen Muwu can't just teach them quantum mechanics as soon as he comes up, right? You have to start with the most basic mechanics.

Then it is better to take this opportunity to test the water at Trinity College and study the rhythm of the lectures.

Thinking of this, Chen Muwu gave his own answer: "Sir Tomson, thank you for coming to Cavendish Laboratory to inform me about this matter.

"There was nothing wrong with starting classes, and if nothing else, I would have been in Cambridge this year, and there would have been no problem with one class.

"It's just that I don't really want to talk about quantum mechanics, I hope to remove 'quantum' and leave only the word 'mechanics'.

"I want to take a course in mechanics, but I don't know if it's convenient?"

Mechanics?

Old Tomson didn't expect that Chen Muwu would give such an answer.

Galileo, who is rumored to have stood on the Leaning Tower of Pisa and threw iron balls downward, can be regarded as a pioneer.

And Sir Newton, the greatest Sir in the history of Trinity College, is completely the ancestor of mechanics!

Chen Muwu suddenly said that he wanted to open a mechanics course, did he want to pay tribute to the ancestor of physics?

Seeing that the old Tom Sun couldn't give a reply for a long time, Chen Muwu planned to retreat to the second: "If mechanics can't work, calculus can also do......"

Instead of mechanics, let's talk about calculus?

This is also Sir Newton's stuff, huh?

Dr. Chan: What does this mean?

Did he get along with Sir Newton?

Old Tomson suddenly remembered that Rutherford had asked him about the Lucas Mathematics professorship before.

Ernest, a man who only studied experimental physics and had never studied mathematics, could not have sought this position for himself.

But this Chen Muwu in front of him is a very good candidate, although he has always been in the Cavendish laboratory, he is also very proficient in theoretical physics, and his mathematical ability is not too bad, otherwise how could he suddenly think of that unpopular tool - matrix?

Old Thomson felt that Rutherford had approached him to inquire about this professorship, and it was likely that he was fighting for his beloved apprentice.

Chen Muwu's level of mathematics and physics is certainly qualified, but the current Professor Lucas found out that Sir Joseph Ramour, who was driven by Lamour, was in his prime, and he was still in this position well, so he couldn't and why he could not invite this professor down?

Old Tomson's brow furrowed even deeper.

He misunderstood Chen Muwu's meaning in his heart, and Chen Muwu also misunderstood his meaning.

Look at the meaning, it seems that calculus can't do it either?

"Uh, sir? I know that mechanics and calculus are both very popular and basic subjects, and they have high requirements for the level of the instructors, and if I am hastily arranged, the college will probably not be at ease.

"Then I'll talk about linear algebra, and that's okay."

Before Chen Muwu said the name of the last course, Old Tomson was still worried.

He was afraid that Dr. Chen would bring up the course of optics after he finished mentioning mechanics and calculus.

Sir Newton studied the universe, and Chen Muwu also studied the universe.

Sir Newton studied optics, and Chen Muwu also studied optics.

Sir Newton discovered the dispersion of light with sunlight, and Chen Muwu also discovered a new kind of scattering with sunlight.

Sir Newton said that light is a particle, and Chen Muwu also said that light is a particle.

……

God!

Could it be that there is such a thing as reincarnation in this world, and that Sir Newton was reincarnated in China two hundred years later?

Fortunately, Chen Muwu didn't say anything about Sir Newton's courses this time, and the course of linear algebra only gradually appeared after his death, otherwise he would have agreed to him first?

As for the Lucas professorship in mathematics, I'll think about it slowly when I get back to the academy.

When I get back to college, I will find someone to meet and study it, and even if I can't become a professor of mathematics at Lucas, it shouldn't be a problem to arrange another professorship for him.

"Jazz, Jazz?"

"Ah...... Okay, okay, no problem, let's go to linear algebra, I'll go back and talk to the head of academic affairs, Dr. Chen will open a linear algebra course this semester! ”

Although neither of them knew what the other was thinking, they still reached an agreement with great difficulty.

"Thank you, Sir."

"I've delayed you too much today, so go back and continue the experiment! Particle Accelerator, I'm optimistic about you! ”

After the politeness, Old Tomson walked down Liberty School Alley away from Cavendish Laboratory without looking back.

Even the original plan to go to the Eagle Bar for a drink was given up by him, just because he was afraid that Chen Muwu would find him again because of the course problem.

Obviously, the old Tom Sun was still trembling when he went downstairs, but when he left, he walked like a fly, Chen Muwu felt that he seemed to understand the reason for the longevity of this master, which should be because he often walked and participated in exercise.

Now that he has to build a particle accelerator and prepare for a linear algebra course, he feels that he needs to plan his time.

Seeing the back of old Tom Sun disappear at the end of the Liberty School Alley, Chen Muwu turned around and wanted to return to the Cavendish Laboratory.

But then he heard a crisp bell from his other half, followed by a very familiar sound that he hadn't heard in a long time.

"Chen! Old! ”

Chen Muwu turned his head and found that the usually polite gentleman, Professor Eddington, was running towards him on a bicycle at this time.

Eddington was a well-known cyclist at Cambridge University, and he once invented a number about bicycles, known as the "Eddington number".

The reason why Chen Muwu knew was that he had done this question in the C language class.

The so-called Eddington number E is the maximum integer E that can meet the requirements of a single day riding more than E mile in a person's lifetime bicycle journey.

Eddington himself had an Eddington count of 84, which means that he rode more than 84 miles in 84 days in his life.

In just those eighty-seven days, he rode 84×84=7056 miles.

Converted into kilometers, it is more than 11,000 kilometers, which is basically the straight-line distance from Shaojing to Antarctica.

And the "BMW Horse" under Eddington's crotch is not a road car or a mountain bike, but the kind of "big two-eight" that is close to the future, with an all-metal body, without suspension and transmission, very hardcore.

Professor Eddington was kind to him, and once worked as an editor of the Journal of Philosophy for one of his papers.

And after the disagreement between himself and Einstein, he stood on his side as he had been unwavering in his support for Einstein.

Chen Muwu felt the need to help Eddington get the transmission and suspension to make him more comfortable on future riding trips, and maybe he could make a fortune with these two humble inventions.

"Professor Eddington, it's been a long time since you've seen you!"

Why say it too?

As he spoke, Eddington had already arrived at the gate of Cavendish Laboratories and jumped out of his bicycle.

He didn't want to be polite with Chen Muwu, maybe because of the exercise, and his tone was a little anxious.

"Dr. Chen, why aren't you a member of your National Astronomical Society? I didn't know about it until today! ”
