171 Rutherford rests on his laurels

Compared to Arakatsu Fumitsu and Nishina Yoshio, he is much more unknown.

But the reason why Chen Muwu knew about such a person was because he had gone to Shewan University for academic exchanges when President Tsai's puppet president had not yet come to power and cross-strait relations were still relaxed.

Since they were participating in the academic exchange of physics, the Department of Physics of the University of Agriculture, which was in charge of the reception, specially sent people to accompany them to visit the Physics Cultural Relics Hall to show the glorious history of the University to these mud-legged compatriots from the other side of the strait.

In the center of the cultural relics exhibition hall is a circle of enclosed instruments, and the appearance of those instruments looks very old.

The narrator said proudly: "The 240keV Cockcroft-Walton doubled rectifier classical accelerator in front of me was built in 1934 at the Northern Imperial University.

"This was the first accelerator in Asia, before Yoshio Nishina in his home country at the time.

"The builder of this machine was the first chair professor of the 'Physics Lecture' at the Northern Imperial University.

Professor Arakatsu was hired as a professor at the University in 1926, but before joining the company, he was sent to Europe to study for two years, where he was an Einstein student in Berlin, and he went to the Cavendish Laboratory and did experiments under Rutherford. ……”

Anyway, the narrator was very proud, and his words and demeanor were full of Nanbo Bay's tone and posture.

A scientific development that she made in the colony made her proud to follow her.

Her commanding performance at that time made Chen Muwu remember it very deeply, so he can now clearly know who this Arakatsu Wence wrote in Nishina Yoshio's letter is.

As the narrator said, it was true that he went to study in Europe in 1926, that is, this year.

But this person should go to Berlin, Germany, first, and then to Cavendish Laboratory!

What do you think of this, he came directly to Cambridge University this time?

Could it be that this is also the butterfly effect caused by flapping your wings?

Because he accidentally met Yoshio Nishina, and Yoshio Nishina thought that Dr. Chen Muwu was really thinking about the rise of Asia, so he recommended Arakatsu Wence to follow him?

It's a bit too big!

Fun is fun, but this man must not stay in the Cavendish laboratory, nor can he be allowed to stay at Cambridge University.

The narrator said that it was 1934 when the Cockcroft accelerator was built in the north of the country.

The inventor of the Cockcroft accelerator, who is currently under Chen Muwu, built the world's first accelerator at Cambridge University in 1932.

This shows that the copycat imitation ability of Huangsheng Wence is very good.

Perhaps he had already met Cowcroft during his time at the Cavendish Laboratory, and had heard the latter talk about the idea of accelerators.

But in 1928, he left Europe and returned to Shewan, and he certainly hadn't seen what the particle accelerator built by Cockcroft looked like.

With just a brief exchange in the past, he was able to reproduce an accelerator in two years.

At this moment, Chen Muwu's team is also in the process of developing accelerators.

Recruiting this kind of person to his subordinates, or staying by his side, is definitely a big problem.

Without seeing the real thing, Arakawa Wence was able to build a Cockroft-type accelerator in two years.

If he had seen the real thing at Cambridge University this time, and it would have been a simpler accelerator than the Cockcroft type, it would have taken him less time to replicate it.

After the accelerator was created by the Northern Imperial University, Arakatsu Wence was immediately recalled to China by Kyoto Imperial University and returned to the mainstream physics community in his native country to study nuclear physics.

Chen Muwu has already advanced the appearance of accelerators by a few years, and if this time the academic community has turned its attention to nuclear physics earlier, then there will be too many variables in the future.

But if you think about it carefully, it's not that much, maybe I can sharpen my skills very well, but I don't have enough uranium just because I have technology, that's just a dragon slaying technique.

Swimmers go to the desert to compete, looking at the pool without a drop of water, and they are also helpless.

However, this still made Chen Muwu very unhappy, in order to fool Yoshio Nishina to study superconducting physics, he not only spent half a day in Denmark, but also forcibly spent half a year last year in the Davy Faraday laboratory in London to study low-temperature physics for so long - although he achieved a lot of results, he also made a lot of money.

Now, because of the arrival of Arakatsu Wence, he leads Ben to the right path of nuclear physics, won't everything he did before be wasted?

Say nothing and can't let him come!

Not only will he not fulfill Nishina Yoshio's request, but he must also convince his teacher Rutherford to refuse Arakatsu Wence's application for admission as he rejected Oppenheimer in the first place!

Chen Muwu made up his mind, first moved out of the typewriter and wrote a reply letter to Yoshio Nishina, "denouncing" him for the unkindness of his teacher Rutherford:

The old Prague is old, and it is up to me Chen Muwu to be able to achieve so many research results in the David-Faraday laboratory and return to the forefront of low-temperature physics in the world.

The teacher summoned himself back to Cambridge University from London to stop offering scholarships and threaten to stop working on low-temperature physics, which had already produced a lot of results, and to refocus his work on nuclear physics in search of the ethereal "electrically neutral particle" that may not exist at all.

Rutherford undoubtedly did this out of jealousy because of the attention and funding that the Royal Institute had received, and because he was jealous that they could build a new laboratory.

In this way, he wants to ruin British low-temperature physics!

At the end of the letter, Chen Muwu wrote that he left the David-Faraday laboratory this time and did not know when he would be able to return to the study of low-temperature physics.

The future development of superconductivity, a promising discipline, can only be entrusted to Ren Kejun.

I hope he can work hard to win glory for Asia!

As for the matter of Huangsheng Wence, Chen Muwu did not recommend him to come to the Cavendish laboratory based on his personal experience.

As he grew older, Rutherford was no longer the Rutherford of the past, and he already had the common disease of the elderly, that is, he began to rest on his laurels and constantly erase the passion of young people for scientific research, and he himself is a living example of being erased.

Chen Muwu said that he could help by writing a letter of recommendation to Leiden University, asking them to accept Arakatsu Wence, so that Yoshio Nishina could also have his compatriots in a foreign country.

After writing such a sincere letter, he couldn't help but move himself to tears.

Chen Muwu's complaints and grievances in the letter are very sincere, containing strong anger and helplessness.

It's just that these contents on the letterhead, except for the English letters are true, everything else is fake.

In order to make Nishina Yoshio believe that it is true, he can only make some oral karma a little, and he is not so respectful of the teacher, so that the teacher can carry the black pot once.

Chen Muwu silently said sorry to Rutherford in his heart.

That should be able to continue to fool me, right? Even if they can find out that they have been deceived a few years later!

At the moment when he put the letter in the envelope and sealed it, Chen Muwu even had an absurd but not so absurd idea in his heart: Why don't you find an opportunity to really give a lecture in this book?

It's useless to fool a few international students like Yoshio Nishina abroad, they are all too young, and it will take at least a few decades to have enough say after returning to China.

The importance of low-temperature physics and superconductivity must be recognized from top to bottom in the physics community.

If you do make such a trip to Ben, you might become an expert in low-temperature physics in the future, Hideki Yukawa, who is currently studying at university!

By the way, don't they love to study the fastest train in the world?

I admit that your railway skills are very strong, but if I take out the principle of superconducting suspension trains, how will you deal with it?

It was not enough to write a letter to Yoshio Nishina, Chen Muwu felt that it was best to take a double insurance for this matter.

It's getting late today, so I'll go to Rutherford tomorrow and tell him about it, so he must not recruit any more students in the Cavendish lab!

Middle school students are hard-working and obedient than themselves, and the probability of appearing extremely smart people, such as himself, is also high, so you can consider recruiting more.

After dawn the next day, there were new variables in the planned itinerary.

After Chen Muwu finished breakfast, he wanted to go to Cavendish Laboratory to find Rutherford.

As soon as he walked out of Trinity College, he met Oppenheimer who was walking towards him again.

"Teacher Chen, Teacher Chen!"

Looking at the expression on his face, Chen Muwu knew that the things he had asked for him before should have been almost done.

Oppenheimer, who was carrying something in his hand, trotted all the way, and Chen Muwu was embarrassed to stand in place, and also took a few steps forward.

"Robert, when did you set off, why didn't you say it in advance?"

"I'm writing! As soon as I got my ticket, I wrote a letter and threw it in the mailbox at the port. I guess there was a problem in some link, so it couldn't be delivered, right? ”

"Uh, Robert, did you buy the last ship to come to England?"

"Of course, I've had enough of the forbidden America, and I can't wait to fly to England and quench my thirst with a beer!"

Although alcohol is banned in the United States, it stands to reason that Oppenheimer's family background is not difficult to drink at all.

However, Chen Muwu didn't get too entangled in this point, he just felt that he hadn't seen him for more than a month, how could Oppenheimer have an extra attribute of natural stay?

Although in 1919, the pilots of the British Royal Air Force had already flown planes from Canada to Ireland, which was still part of the United Kingdom at the time, completing the feat of flying an airplane across the Atlantic for the first time in human history.

However, until 1926, the flight routes used to transport mail between the United States and Europe were still inconsistent.

Correspondence between two continents separated by the ocean can still only be transported by cruise ship.

It is known that Oppenheimer bought a ticket for the latest cruise ship to the UK, and at the same time mailed a letter to the UK informing the specific itinerary, so which cruise ship will this letter take to the UK?

It certainly won't be the previous one that has already departed.

So there is a good chance that Oppenheimer came to England on the same cruise ship as the letter he wrote.

He arrived in Cambridge overnight, but his letter had to be sorted and transported by Royal Mail, and it could only arrive in Cambridge later than he could!

After listening to Chen Muwu's explanation, Oppenheimer blushed, he didn't expect that he would do such a demented thing.

But he was a little unwilling: "So Mr. Chen, the person who bought the latest ferry ticket will never be able to tell the other party his itinerary?" ”

"In this case, we usually send a telegram."

Although Oppenheimer made a fuss about writing letters, what Chen Muwu asked him to do was still very reliable.

He told Chen Muwu that he had asked him to buy US stocks for $60,000, and bought all of General Motors, which had a stock price of about $20.

Oppenheimer also elaborated on his stock selection strategy, and with the boom of the economy, the U.S. auto industry has developed explosively.

At first, he wanted to buy Ford, but when he arrived at the exchange, he was told that Ford was not listed at all, so he had to settle for the next best thing and buy General Motors, the largest car in the stock market.

"Well done, Robert!"

For Chen Muwu, it doesn't matter what shares he buys, as long as he buys them.

Anyway, it's a big bull market that will last for a few years, and you can make a fortune by buying it with your eyes closed!

In the last year or two, there are two things that have been particularly popular in the United States.

In 1922, the tomb of Tutankhamun in ancient Egypt was discovered by archaeologists, and because of its antiquity and mystery, many goods with ancient Egyptian elements appeared on the American market.

And the other is something that also comes from a country with a long history, mahjong.

The more a country has no history, the more it likes these things with a long history.

Mahjong comes from Mr. Chen's hometown, and according to the grapevine, it was he who introduced this domino game to Cambridge and led a trend here, which is certainly not suitable for gifting.

So what Oppenheimer was carrying in his hand was a set of tea sets with Tutankhamun elements that he wanted to give to Chen Muwu.

It's a steamer, it's a train, and it's enough to bring a fragile tea set from the United States to England, which is enough to see how attentive he is.

After thanking and accepting the gift from Oppenheimer and handing it over to the porter of Trinity College, Chen Muwu rushed to the Cavendish laboratory with him.

He told Oppenheimer to wait in his lab for a while, but he went to Rutherford's office.

When Chen Muwu entered the door, he found the scene he didn't want to see.

The teacher behind the desk and Professor Bohr on the couch are smoking pipes and spitting smoke.

Before he could speak, Bohr opened his mouth first: "Oh, Dr. Chen, I'm thinking about when I'm going to talk to you!" ”

The person he wanted to see, the person he wanted to see and himself, the three of them happened to be together at this time.
