After putting von Neumann in Kapitsa's car, Chen Muwu turned around and re-entered the Cavendish laboratory and returned to his office.

When his large army moved to another particle accelerator house in Cambridgeshire, his office would often sit idle for three days.

But every time he returned to the office, the small room was always clean and spotless, and it was Oppenheimer's credit.

Americans always feel that after he returned to England from China at the beginning of this year, his teacher seemed to have begun to snub him, intentionally or unintentionally.

He first went to develop a particle accelerator, then he wrote a paper on mathematics, and it seems that he also published a paper on physics, and then he went on strike.

As the son of a large family from New York, Oppenheimer actually resented the act of going on strike.

Two years after he came to Cambridge, he had become accustomed to drinking coffee every morning at breakfast while reading the Times that day, which was brought in by train from London.

He also often escaped Cambridge, a place that was not only academic, but also academic, and took a two-hour train ride to London, the world's second largest city, to have fun.

The biggest impact of the strike on him was that the traffic was not smooth, the newspapers could not get in, and he could not get out.

In terms of academics, he did not have the new tasks assigned to him by Chen Muwu, and he had a lot of spare time every day, so he could only soak in the Eagle Bar and drink.

However, due to traffic reasons, the beer in the bar could not be replenished in time, and in the last few days of the strike, only the moonshine that the bar owner had bought from the countrymen was left, and it was so bad that it was too bad to drink.

Like Emperor Sima Zhen of Jin Hui who exclaimed "why not eat minced meat", Oppenheimer did not understand why these workers from all walks of life in Britain accompanied the miners on strike.

In the twilight of the empire, the old age is in full swing, and the decline of all walks of life is fully revealed.

If it weren't for Chen Muwu, then this Britain would just look beautiful, far less prosperous than the new empire on the other side of the ocean.

When it comes to Chen Muwu, Mr. Chen's recent snub to himself has become a piece of Oppenheimer's heart.

Coupled with the fact that it was graduation season, it was common to see graduates wearing doctoral hats at Cambridge University recently, and Oppenheimer's heart was even more uncomfortable.

After graduating from Harvard University, he crossed the ocean to England, and it has been two years since then.

It can't be compared with a person like Mr. Chen, who only studied for one year and took off a doctor's hat from the world's highest university.

But I can always compete with Mr. Chen's friend, Dirac.

Dirac and Chen Muwu have published papers together, and he has also published papers with Chen Muwu!

And there are two or three articles in one shot, which is much more than Dirac's.

What's more, his papers are all in the direction of experiments, which is very popular in the Cavendish laboratory, which attaches more importance to experiments.

Reasonably, he felt that he should have no problem graduating this year.

Chen Muwu spent a year, and he spent two years, one year earlier than Dirac, who had been coming to Cambridge University for three years, so it should be very reasonable, right?

People are self-aware, and Oppenheimer also has them, but not too much.

Chen Muwu is not in the Cavendish laboratory, and the former director of the laboratory, Old Tom Sun, who promised to recruit him into the laboratory, will only come once in a while because he is too old, like the old lion king inspecting his past venue.

There are a few friends of Mr. Chen in the laboratory, such as Kapitsa and Blackett, who still have a very good attitude towards Oppenheimer.

Except for the above, most of the rest were all Rutherford's cronies and students.

It was Rutherford at the beginning, and he didn't agree to enter the Cavendish laboratory, because of the relationship between Old Tomson and Chen Muwu, although he said that he had come in, but when he got along with those people, both sides basically laughed and disliked each other in their hearts.

In this atmosphere, Oppenheimer felt that he did not need to stay here at all, and every two or three days, he would come to Chen Muwu's office to clean up, and the rest of the time he would either go to the room where he started to study or go back to the library of Christ's College to study mathematics on his own.

He didn't suddenly start to be interested in mathematics again, but because Chen Muwu suddenly began to study mathematics, Oppenheimer also temporarily changed careers.

If that day, Chen Muwu began to study how to build an airplane, then Oppenheimer would have gone to learn how to make steel as soon as possible.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the office, Chen Muwu dug through the nearest newspaper, and he wanted to see what changes had been made in the winds reported in the British media after the general strike.

Especially the part about himself, although he pretended to be temporary, he was also afraid that the British upper class would counterattack him.

Fortunately, everyone seems to have forgotten about this incident, at least on the surface, and the only news reports about it are that reprinted the article in the major newspapers that resumed circulation in the days immediately after the strike.

Chen Muwu even had such a thought in his heart, you reprinted my article, should you give some manuscript fees?

But he wasn't stupid enough to take the train to London and ask the men on Fleet Street for money.

If you offend the uncrowned king, they will inevitably arrange you in the newspaper.

Von Neumann's personal skills were so good that he only drove around Cambridge University with Capitsa and Dirac, and by the time he returned to Cavendis's laboratory, he had already mingled with them.

It's not surprising to mingle with Kapitsa, after all, his optimism and cheerfulness are well-known at Cambridge University, and even in Cambridgeshire as a whole.

But it was not easy to talk and laugh with the taciturn Dirac, Chen Muwu, who lived under the same roof with him at the time, took several months to do this, but he didn't expect von Neumann to take less than a morning.

If it weren't for the gentlemanly character in everyone who restrained them, maybe when they entered Chen Muwu's office just now, they would have already hooked their shoulders.

With his own work to do, Kapitsa showed up in the room and turned away.

Before leaving, he did not forget to tell von Neumann to take some time to go to the Eagle Bar for a drink.

Su Lianren really loves wine, but he still doesn't recommend drinking with von Neumann.

It has been said that von Neumann was also an occasional heavy drinker, no different from the Russians.

But later, according to his brother, von Neumann drank only for pretense, and he was able to get others drunk while snatching the wine through a lot of tricks at the wine table.

He is happy to participate in the drinking party, but because on that occasion, it can quickly bring people closer together.

Von Neumann and Kapitsa nodded in acknowledgment, agreeing to his invitation with body language.

After welcoming the two guests to the sofa, it was Dirac who was the first to speak, which surprised Chen Muwu again.

"Chen, that lecture on quantum mechanics, John said he also wanted to participate in the writing and write it together, what do you think?"

Well, when he heard the first half of the sentence, Chen Muwu thought it was Dirac, who was finally idle, urging himself.

Some time ago, there was a vigorous general strike in the UK, but Cambridge did not stop, and everything is still running as usual.

It was during this time that Dirac defended his doctoral dissertation and can now be addressed as Dr. Dirac in the same way as Dr. Chen.

After finishing the doctoral defense, he was naturally going to write a book, but he didn't expect that the second half of his sentence was to invite von Neumann to write a book together, and looking at this relationship, Dirac even broke the conservative atmosphere of Cambridge University that he had always adhered to, and directly called the other party's name.

Is this the wrong medicine? What Ecstasy soup did von Neumann give him?

"Paul, does this mean by yourself, or by Dr. von Neumann?"

Unsure, he thinks it's better to confirm.

"Dr. Chen, if you don't mind, just call me John."

"Don't you dare, this Feng in your surname knows that he is a nobleman as soon as he hears it."

Von Neumann's family, until his father's generation, was only called Neumann.

Von Neumann's father, Max Neumann, was a Hungarian lawyer, a director of one of Hungary's largest banks at the time, and because of this capacity, a member of the Hungarian Royal Government.

The elder Neumann was promoted to the aristocracy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire by the government in 1913, so their family name began to bear the character Feng.

Some people say that this nobleman was donated by his banker father, but within a few years of the money being spent, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was gone, and their family name was lucky, at least it was preserved.

Chen Muwu wasn't sure if this matter was true or not, so he mentioned it in front of him, either intentionally or unintentionally.

"How can a PhD from the University of Budapest be compared to two Cambridge PhDs? Dr. Chen, no kidding, just call me John. ”

Von Neumann avoided talking about the aristocracy.

"I talked to Paul in the car about his latest paper, and then I learned that he was able to write it because he got inspiration from you, Dr. Chen.

"Paul and I are talking again, and recently I am going to work with you on a lecture book on quantum mechanics. It just so happened that I was going to spend a few months at Cambridge University, and Director Rutherford said that if I couldn't find anything, he would put me in the experimental group.

"It's better to let someone like me who has never done experiments before into the lab, so I thought, can I get involved and write a handout with you.

"I'm better at it than I am at experimenting."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed his finger at his brain, not mentioning that he had told Fowler that he wanted to go into Cavendish to do experiments.

With the strong labor force that rushed to the door, Chen Muwu of course raised his hands to welcome it.

Dirac and the textbook written by von Neumann are definitely classics of classics.

It's just that after this book is written, how many people will be able to read it? That's not about Chen Muwu, who is also one of the authors.

When I die, who cares about the flood?

"Of course, I've been caught up in a lot of things lately, and I'm a little too busy, John, you can join in, it's a great favor for Paul and me.

"Oh yes, Paul, can you bring Robert again? I've been busy with other projects lately, and I seem to be snubbing him a bit. I used to give lectures on quantum mechanics at the Cavendish Lab and the Capitsa Club, and he helped me put together the transcripts. He is good and smart, but he is a little sentimental at heart, and if he is involved in writing a book together, he can just find something to do for him. ”

Once he habitually cleaned the office, Chen Muwu, who was as careful as a hair, noticed him again who had entered the cold palace.

This typical example, if it can be written into the "One Hundred Rules of Jewish Wisdom", can definitely make a lot of money on royalties.

Chen Muwu's request was interjected by von Neumann, as a guest, and Dirac, as a friend, had no opinion.

Once the book was agreed, Dirac returned to St. John's College to pick up his personal belongings, where he planned to stay in the coming months.

And Chen Muwu accompanied von Neumann, planning to find a small restaurant to eat in a small restaurant that served the students.

With no one else around him, he was finally able to say a few thoughtful words to the target.

The various dissatisfaction with Chen Muwu that he had hidden in Göttingen's heart before slowly began to dissipate after seeing him in person, and now he has long since disappeared.

As a genius, von Neumann learned how he differed from Chen Muwu, who was also a "genius".

Dr. Chan's genius lies in the fact that his brain is filled with a myriad of novel ideas that have always been justified by him or others.

On the contrary, his own genius can be regarded as first-class in his calculation ability and comprehension ability, and he belongs to the type that can be understood at one point.

The only thing missing is that.

Doesn't that just complement Dr. Chen?

Von Neumann felt that it was not impossible for him to stay at Cambridge University for a few more months, and strive to get more wool from Chen Muwu.

These two people have their own thoughts, one treats each other as a super human calculator, and the other treats each other as an invincible inspiration generator, so they get along very politely.

Walking on the way to the restaurant, von Neumann was still patting Chen Muwu's ass.

In terms of quantum mechanics, he is still a beginner, and he can only make up for it in his old profession of mathematics.

Chatting and chatting, the two talked about the incompleteness theorem, saying that the emergence of this theorem completely shattered the completeness and self-consistency of Hilbert's axiom system.

Well, before the rod was thrown, the fish began to bite first.

Chen Muwu simply threw the bait down, he turned his head to von Neumann, and said in a casual tone: "John, do you think the decisiveness in the axiom system proposed by Professor Hilbert is valid or not?" ”
