On 28 January, several Fellows of the Royal Society visited Baird's laboratory and reported on the demonstration of the Baird television system, along with the photojournalist's television imagery, which was published in the Times that day.

Rutherford, president of the Royal Society, praised Baird's television system in the newspaper as a great invention.

Professor Bohr, who came to Britain from Denmark as a guest, also told the reporters of The Times that Britain is a great country, from the Jenny engine to the steam engine, from the generator to the television system, Britain has always been in the leading position in the world in the development of science and technology, and this leading position is hundreds of years, and no one has been able to shake it so far.

Chen Muwu also became a boaster, touting Baird's great invention to reporters, saying that he had also gained a lot of inspiration from the visit that day, which was very helpful to his future scientific research.

With the endorsement of many Nobel laureates from various countries, it is difficult for Baird to invent a television without causing a sensation throughout the United Kingdom.

Chen Muwu didn't know if the other members, including the above two, were touting the TV with only five frames per second so high, whether it was from the heart or deliberately speaking in front of reporters.

But everything he said was true, and Baird's TV did give him two very important awakenings.

When I return to Cambridge University, I can put the electron microscope aside for a while, but the insulation of the environment around the motor must be implemented immediately, and human life is at stake.

Whether it was Zhao Zhongyao when he was designing the drawings or Cockcroft when he was calculating the cost of building a starting motor, none of them thought about insulation, so they only calculated the material price of the main part.

After all, the model of the motor that Chen Muwu made with tin cans and silk belts can only provide a "high voltage" of about 1,000 volts, and the amount of charge is not much.

Even if a path is formed between this motor model and the human body, the current generated is basically similar to the feeling of being electrocuted when taking off a sweater in winter, and it will definitely not be the numbness of an electric shock.

But when the starter is transformed from a model into a real thing, the size of the spherical electrodes rises to 80 centimeters, and the voltage reaches the million-volt level, it is completely different.

Moreover, the cost of providing insulation for such a high-voltage starting motor must be expensive, and it is estimated that a large amount of money will be spent.

Chen Muwu will not feel sorry for this additional expense at all, the more money is spent, correspondingly, the price of the finished motor manufactured in the future will also be able to rise with the tide.

After learning from the capitalists at General Electric, he dared to ask for four thousand at the cost of twenty pounds.

If you add the cost of insulation, you can make a lot of money again.

On the same day that The Times was published, the people of Cambridge University, who had finished a meeting of the Royal Society and a television presentation, were finally returning to Cambridge from London.

Sitting on the return train, Chen Muwu was finally able to hide in the corner of the first-class carriage with peace of mind this time, making a little transparent that would not be noticed by others.

Both Rutherford and his good student Bohr were big names in their respective labs or institutes, and they rarely got refuted by others, so they became very talkative over time.

In addition, the two of them who have a deep relationship with master and apprentice have not seen each other for three years, and they have endless words to say to each other, and they have opened the conversation box from the beginning of getting on the bus.

When Bohr was at the Institute of Theoretical Physics, he was majestic in front of those young talents in physics.

But when he came to Rutherford, his personality immediately became very docile, like a little sheep.

This is enough to show how charismatic Rutherford was, and how much Bohr respected his teachers during his years of studying in England, and has continued this habit to this day.

It's just that Chen Muwu, who calmed down this time, still couldn't avoid the smoke in the carriage.

Perhaps because of his tutelage with Rutherford, or perhaps because some of the ingredients in tobacco can refresh the mind and provide inspiration in physics, Bohr is also a big smoking gun.

Chen Muwu, who is now under the eaves, can only bow his head, but he silently told himself in his heart that after the school in Sweden is built, the first thing he will do is to put up signs prohibiting smoking in all corners of the campus, and write the fine for smoking into the school rules and motto.

In the evening, when he arrived at Cambridge University, Chen Muwu politely refused the dinner party that Rutherford had offered at Trinity College in order to wash Bohr's dust—the food there was not good anyway, and the rules were very cumbersome.

He hopped on his bicycle and hurried to another place that Rutherford had found for him in Cambridgeshire to build a particle accelerator.

This bicycle was previously remodeled for Eddington, and Chen Muwu made one himself.

He finally left his three-year 11-way career and joined the Cambridge cycling army.

The Cavendish Laboratory, after decades of development, has long since finalized the layout inside.

On the first floor, there are conference rooms, libraries, lecture halls, and a large open laboratory, while on the second and third floors are independent laboratory rooms, as well as the offices of teachers and professors.

Although after calculations, it was concluded that it was not necessary to build a giant spherical electrode with a diameter of nearly 20 meters and a height of 145 meters above the ground, as Chen Muwu imagined, which could also generate an electric potential of one million volts.

However, according to the design drawings given by Zhao Zhongyao and Cockcroft, the height of the entire hoisting motor has still reached two and a half meters.

This height must have far exceeded the floor height of the old Cavendish laboratory.

In order to deal with the contradiction of an increasingly old laboratory that could not meet the needs of newer and more sophisticated instruments, Rutherford chose to apply for and approve a grant from the Mondstadt Foundation, which is affiliated with the Royal Society, in the last year of his term as president, and chose a piece of land near Cambridge University to build a new Mondstadt laboratory as a branch of the Cavendish laboratory.

However, due to various factors, the construction of the Mondstadt laboratory has already begun in London many years in advance.

In the future, Capitsa may still be the director of Mondstadt Labs, but he will only move his office from Cambridge to London.

Whether Cavendish Labs will be able to build a new branch is unknown.

He had complained about Little Prague before, saying that it was he who changed the research direction of this historic laboratory from radiologic and nuclear physics to solid-state physics after taking over the laboratory, which led to the gradual loss of the status of the Cavendish laboratory as the center of the world's physics experiments, and finally declined.

But that was done as a last resort in Britain's wartime and post-war economic decline, and if Little Prague hadn't done so, perhaps the Cavendish Laboratory would have declined even faster.

But now it seems that the culprit is more like himself?

No, no, how is this possible!

To put it another way, if the accelerator project makes a lot of money for the Cavendish laboratory, it seems that there is no need for the teacher to use his authority to go through the back door and build a new laboratory independently with funds from the Royal Society, right?

Yes, yes, he is not the culprit, but a great loyal minister!

Because of the distance from the Cavendish laboratory, the new place for the accelerator did not strictly enforce Rutherford's rule of closing work at six o'clock.

When Chen Muwu arrived, the room was still brightly lit.

It's just that after entering it, it becomes empty, except for a few sets of tables and chairs, and a movable blackboard, and even the shadow of the motor is not visible.

Even if Cockcroft is an engineer, it would be absolutely wishful thinking to let him and Zhao Zhongyao come out with an accelerator in their hands.

Whether it's a spherical metal electrode or a specific insulating glass pillar, neither of them can handle it.

But there are drawings and money, and you only need to place an order with the factory that cooperates with the Cavendish laboratory, and the fool will do it himself.

Chen Muwu put forward his idea to them, and while the parts of the customized parts were still in the factory and had not been shipped here, he wanted to immediately insulate the room.

In the era when there were no various polymer materials, today's mainstream insulation method is to use asphalt to bond mica sheets together.

The higher the number of layers bonded, the better the insulation.

Of course, you can also put asphalt, with polystyrene with better insulation.

It was only in 1926 that polystyrene existed only in the laboratories of universities, research institutes and chemical companies, and there was absolutely no means or capacity for commercial production - everyone was looking for it.

The BASF factory in Germany could only get the production line out in the thirties, and Chen Muwu really couldn't wait.

He couldn't continue to rub polystyrene by hand like he had done before, as he had done before, and it was too late to do so.

And the products that have just been launched will be very expensive, compared to the large amount of asphalt and cheap.

Among the insulating materials, the price of another mica sheet is not low.

There are few mica mines in Europe, and most of the ones seen on the market are shipped from colonies in Africa or South America.

After talking about the insulation, the other two people in the room also realized their negligence.

Fortunately, Chen Muwu thought of this, otherwise if there was really a fatality, the first people to taste the electric shock would probably be themselves.

Oppenheimer had not yet returned to the United States, and the matter of procurement had to be handed over to Cockcroft.

Purchasing these industrial supplies in large quantities in Britain, his status as an engineer may be more convenient than that of a Jewish boy like Oppenheimer, who spends a lot of money.

In fact, it doesn't matter if it's expensive, anyway, with 6,000 pounds in hand, Chen Muwu is not bad at all.

After explaining all this, he "kicked Zhao Zhongyao and Cockcroft" out of the room and told them to go back to rest, and there was still a lot of work to be done in a few days.

Chen Muwu also got on his bicycle again and returned to his room at Trinity College.

His manservant at Trinity College brought him the letters and telegrams he had accumulated when he went to London for a meeting in the past few days.

It may be because around the winter holidays, there is very little content about scientific exchanges and discussions in these letters, and most of them are letters from Chinese people greeting each other on the eve of the Spring Festival.

Among them was also a letter sent by Yoshio Nishina from Leiden, the Netherlands.

In addition to the English address and name, he also used a brush to respectfully write down the four big characters "Chen Hanchen".

The Chinese name is followed by the title of Ben, which belongs to respecting people, but not fully respecting.

However, didn't I abolish the lunar calendar and use the Gregorian calendar as early as the Meiji period in order to leave Europe and enter Asia and integrate with the West?

Why did Yoshio Nishina send him a congratulatory letter for the Spring Festival?

Is your face already so big?

After opening it, Chen Muwu found that the content of the letter was still the same:

First of all, he praised his various achievements in physics, which is the light of East Asia.

Then he said that he always took him as an example, and he did not seek to catch up, and he could not be left behind.

At the end of the letter, Chen Muwu didn't see the Spring Festival greeting, but he saw the true purpose hidden by Yoshio Nishina at the end.

This is not a congratulatory letter at all, but a letter of recommendation!

No wonder he spends so much space praising himself as a veteran, and also said that some East Asians should develop together with the same hatred and hatred, and punish the Omi ghost beasts in the future.

In the twenties, Yoshio Nishina's rhetoric still had many supporters in China.

Many people believe that the defeat of Russia in the Russian War is a proof that East Asians are capable of defeating Europe.

The people of the two countries are "of the same language and the same species," and they should join forces to deal with Europe and the United States.

Even former prime ministers have had this view, but not necessarily from the bottom of their hearts.

When his opponent is Bong, he is fierce in his rhetoric.

When the opponents were replaced by Cao and Wu, who were pro-British and American, they began to look forward to uniting together to oppose Britain and the United States.

But this set of rhetoric can deceive others, but it can't deceive Chen Muwu!

In the spirit of watching fun, he saw the letter to the end, and as a result, he saw an even greater joy.

Yoshio Nishina recommended to him that there was a graduate of the physics department of Tanglin Imperial University who wanted to study in Europe.

I recommended the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge to the graduate and informed him that Dr. Chen, the Light of East Asia, was also in the lab.

Yoshio Nishina asked Chen Muwu to open the door so that his compatriots could successfully enter Cambridge University and study superconductors with Dr. Chen.

It is human nature to recommend one's own compatriots, and there is nothing to laugh about.

The point is that the person recommended by Yoshio Nishina is called Arakatsu Bunze.

During World War II, Ben developed the atomic bomb no later than the Manhattan Project in the United States.

The most famous is the "Ren" project, which was jointly developed by the Army and the Institute of Physics and Chemistry, and was named after the first character of the surname of the academic leader Yoshio Nishina.

In addition to the Jen program, the Navy also has their own atomic bomb research team.

Beginning with the Satsuma Domain and the Choshu Domain, the Navy and Army began to look at each other unpleasantly.

Naturally, it is impossible to participate in the development of such a secret weapon, the atomic bomb.

The Army and the Institute of Physics and Chemistry jointly developed the Ren Plan, and our Navy joined forces with Kyoto Imperial University to develop the "F" Plan.

And the person in charge of this F plan is the Arakatsu Wence recommended by Yoshio Nishina to Chen Muwu.

Unknowingly, the army red deer recommended the navy red deer to himself, which was one of the biggest pleasures Chen Muwu had seen recently.
