Going to Germany?

The buddy finally laid down the country at Cambridge University, and relied on fooling so many old British aristocrats to obtain funds for scientific research.

But when you go to Germany, you have to start all over again.

Besides, when he arrives in Germany, who is he going to cheat money from?

Most of the people who did not even have an emperor now, and who were able to maintain their vast wealth after such an economic crisis as the Great War I, were mostly calculating Jews.

If you want to get money out of the hands of the Jews, it would be easier to go to Munich and find the mustache and say some nice compliments, and it should be easier to cheat some party dues from him.

Moreover, Chen Muwu had the opportunity to go to Germany a long time ago, and the value of the mark at that time was not as good as waste paper, and he didn't choose to go to Germany to be a master at that time, and now he will not go there to be a big wrongdoer.

"Dr. von Neumann, thank you and your teacher for the invitation.

"But I always felt that if I were to go with you to Germany now, Professor Hilbert might not welcome me very well.

"He probably resented me: not only did he publish his previous paper on the incompleteness theorem, but he also led his good students down a path against his teacher.

"You just asked me if Professor Russell came to me if he had any new research results in mathematics.

"Actually, no, my latest research on math problems is the paper you co-wrote with me.

"So I advise you not to be in such a hurry to return to Germany until Professor Hilbert's anger has subsided, and it is better to stay at Cambridge University in peace."

If Chen Muwu's first paper is said to have dealt a painful blow to Hilbert.

Then the second article he co-wrote with von Neumann, although it is not as strong as the former, it can be regarded as another slash.

The relationship between Chen Muwu and Hilbert is limited to the academic research of the predecessors and seniors who have never heard of the famous for a long time.

But von Neumann and Hilbert, there is a master-apprentice relationship.

If he is put in "Naruto", he can also be ranked with Orochimaru, Obito and Nagato.

Being reminded by Chen Muwu, von Neumann also temporarily gave up the idea of inviting Dr. Chen to return to China together.

Hilbert sent him to Cambridge to try to invite Chen Muwu to the University of Göttingen on the one hand, but the most important point was to touch his reality.

As a result, as soon as he arrived in the UK, he defected, not only did he not collect any information, but also followed Chen Muwu to write a paper that proved the teacher's mistake.

At this moment, von Neumann even had a ridiculous thought in his head.

Since the paper has not been completely written and delivered, otherwise the author's signature will be hidden, leaving Chen Muwu alone?

Anyway, most of the ideas and ideas in it were provided by Dr. Chen, and what he did was just some icing on the cake.

However, he knew in his heart that he could sign his name on such a paper, although it was not a very important discovery like irrational numbers and calculus, but it would definitely leave his name in the history of mathematics.

Von Neumann was a little reluctant.

It seems that it is better to follow Dr. Chen's advice, not to think about completing the task and returning to Germany as soon as possible, or to stay at Cambridge University honestly and write papers and handouts with everyone.

In the restaurant next to the Cavendish laboratory, Dr. Chen made an analogy to prove that it was not feasible to be decisive, which von Neumann found quite interesting.

If a similar machine can be designed that can read, write, and process programs in real life, it will definitely make a huge contribution to the development of human society.

During my exchange visit to Cambridge, I was able to communicate with Dr. Chan a lot.

When Hilbert had forgotten his paper, it would not be too late to go back.

"Dr. Chen, you have a point. In addition to this, I have another question, that is, where is the best place to publish this paper?

"At first, I wrote in German, but the more I think about it in the last few days, the more I feel that it is better to draw a scoop according to the gourd, or publish it in the "Bulletin of the Natural Science Society", which can be regarded as having a beginning and an end!"

Von Neumann's brain was racing, and he quickly found a suitable excuse.

He never mentioned that he didn't want to publish a German paper, because he didn't want Hilbert to find out about it in the first place.

"It's okay, it's okay, I've been very nervous lately, so I can only ask you about the paper. John, please take full responsibility and don't have to tell me everything. ”

Von Neumann happily left Chen's office.

But on the other side of the office area on the second floor of the Cavendish laboratory, in the spacious and bright director's office, an elderly man and a middle-aged man were speechless, and no one was happy.

Rutherford was taking care of the business in the lab with his pipe in his mouth, and Old Tomson pushed the door open and walked in after receiving a response.

"Yo, teacher, are you here to do an experiment today, or is there something ......?"

He looked up and spoke to Old Tomson in a relaxed tone, and then saw a very uneasy expression on the teacher's face.

“…… What's wrong with you today? ”

"Ernest, I'm at the school today for the meeting of the review committee."

"That's good, has Dr. Chen's proposal been passed this time?"

"There was no discussion of that today, only one question raised by the Superintendent of Belfort throughout the day, whether there should be some punishment for the students who supported the strike the other day."

"This is long overdue, students don't stay in school and get involved in politics-related activities all day long, and in the long run, Cambridge University will not be a school!"

Rutherford deliberately raised his voice a little, wanting to knock on the people in the laboratory who didn't study and experiment all day, and make them feel a sense of crisis in their hearts.

"On the list that Belfort proposed, the first one was Dr. Chen Muwu."

"How can this work? This Balfour, as the former director of the Cavendish Laboratory and the Chancellor of Cambridge University, a relative of Lord Rayleigh, did not understand the importance of physics talents, nor how to govern a school.

"Even a small Cambridge university can be governed by him, let alone the whole country, the whole of Britain!

"I really don't know why the old men of the Conservative Party would elect such a person as prime minister, and it is under the governance of these nobles that Britain is getting worse and worse!

"If he really dares to vote on the proposal to punish Dr. Chen at the school council, then I will not agree to it first!

"I think it's better to quit this position and go to a place where you can do whatever you want, more freely, and more freely. Go to Manchester, go to McGill in Canada, or go to Nelson in New Zealand! Wherever they drove Dr. Chen, I followed him! ”

Out of anger, Rutherford's voice was much louder than when he had tried to deliberately make it hear.

It is estimated that the general soldiers of Liaodong, who were also angry with a person surnamed Chen, were almost as angry as Rutherford now.

The entire Cavendish lab heard a loud voice coming from the director's office.

Those who had heard Rutherford's roar began to talk to each other, and those who did not hear it had a rough idea of what was going on from the former.

There is only one issue that concerns and worries everyone:

Rutherford is resigning?

In the face of this bombshell, the fact that students who support the strike will be punished by the school has become worthless.

Crowther, a reporter for the Manchester Guardian who is based in the Cavendish laboratory and reports on technology news at Cambridge University, also heard Rutherford's shouts.

The reporter's journalistic acumen made him immediately realize: this is big news!

It's just that Crowther doesn't quite know the ins and outs of the matter, Rutherford is resigning, but why should he resign?

If you don't understand the reasons clearly, you will irresponsibly report the news, which is a taboo in journalism!

It seems that Rutherford should be angry, and everyone knows that he must not touch his moldy head at this time.

Since the matter seems to have something to do with Chen Muwu, it is better to go to another party to find out about the situation.

Then Crowther saw von Neumann, a newcomer to the lab from Göttingen, who had been following Chen Muwu all along.

"Dr von Neumann, I'm a reporter for the Manchester Guardian, can I take a few minutes of your time?"

He was in a good mood just out of Chen Muwu's office and agreed to this request.

After the interview with von Neumann, Crowther understood why Rutherford said those words, it seemed that he was more like a momentary excitement, as for whether he really planned to resign as he said in his heart, it is difficult to judge whether it is true or false.

Crowther, who is a member of the CPGB, is supportive of the strike.

Seeing that Chen Muwu had suffered such an unwarranted disaster because he had said a few words and published an article, he had to send out this report no matter what.

Even if the mainstream media, controlled by Churchill, characterized the strike as an unpatriotic reactionary act of the workers, so what?

Crowther had just sent off von Neumann after an interview, and Chadwick found him again.

The two men have the same name, both James, and they are not too close to each other, so they still refer to each other by their surnames: "Mr. Crowther, Director Rutherford, please come to his office. ”

Hearing the news, Crowther only felt in his heart that something was not good.

At this juncture, Rutherford called himself over, what was he going to do?

He didn't know that he was going to publish such a news report, so he wanted to block the news?

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided", on the way to the second floor, Crowther had already figured out the countermeasures.

Even if Rutherford didn't let him send it, he would definitely disobey his orders.

Upon entering the house, Crowther found that Rutherford was still angry.

But to his surprise, Rutherford, who was not pleasing to his eyes because he supported the strike and supported Su Lian and the Communists, acted completely differently than expected.

Rutherford asked Crowther to report as soon as possible that if the school disciplined Chen Muwu, he would resign and leave Cambridge University.

To be able to manage a huge laboratory, in addition to his superb experimental level and outstanding experimental results, he must also be a good person.

Rutherford knew that his resignation would not be much of a threat if it was confined to Cambridge University.

Wouldn't it be a dilemma if the unscrupulous school supervisor Belfort agreed to his resignation?

If you want to increase the threat of this, you have to let more people know that newspapers can do just that.

Whether it's sending a telegram to the Times or the Daily Mail in London and asking them to send a reporter to Cambridge, it takes time.

It would be better to use the ready-made Crowther, the Manchester Guardian, the third largest newspaper in the United Kingdom, is not influential, and after the news is released, it will soon be reprinted by other news outlets.

Old Tomson, who happened to be in person at today's council, had not yet left his office, and Crowther got first-hand information from him about the council.

After putting together all the information for today's interview, Crowther ran overnight to the Cambridgeshire telegraph office.

Although the price of the news telegram was half the price of the average civilian telegraph, it cost him a lot of money to send the text to Manchester.

The news was translated by the Guardian editorial office along the telegraph line, sent to the newsroom, then typeset, printed, loaded onto trucks, and sent to all parts of the country, including Cambridge, of course.

Yesterday, Balfour, who had suffered a setback on the first day of the Council, got up in the morning and took the newspaper that the servant had prepared for him.

He had read first-hand about Rutherford's resignation in the newspapers, not from the resignation submitted to his desk.

An identical newspaper was also sent to London, reprinted by other British media, and sent back to the headquarters of the news media in their respective countries by means of news cables by correspondents from other national media in London.

It is really strange that Taishan Beidou, the helmsman of the Cavendish Laboratory, should decide whether to resign for a student.

As one of the parties to the news, Chen Muwu was calm and light on the surface, but in his heart, because of all the things that happened in school these days, he began to think about his retreat.

Whether Cambridge will punish himself or not, he can't say anything about it.

But if the Balfour Chancellor insists on going his own way, he must finish all the work left at Cambridge University while the punishment has not yet been issued, and must not let any of his efforts be wasted.

So he's been a little desperate for Saburo's posture lately, and he's bent on working on proton sources with Cockcroft.

Although I don't know why Chen Muwu doesn't pay much attention to the development of the starting motor, he attaches so much importance to the matter of proton source, but Cockcroft is only excited in his heart.

"Dr. Chen, after the proton source is successfully developed, we can do the experiment of bombarding the deuterium nucleus with protons according to Director Rutherford's request, right?"

"No, don't want deuterium nuclei, why use deuterium, something that is not easy to prepare and a waste of time?"

"So what should we use? Doesn't it mean to look for the kind of electrically neutral particles in the nucleus? ”

"Of course, I used lithium foil as a target to bombard! And who said to be looking for electrically neutral particles? We need to verify the correctness of Einstein's mass-energy equation! ”

For Chen Muwu, time was tight, and he couldn't do anything too complicated.

He's going to have to use this particle accelerator to get results as soon as possible!
