Arguments in classroom 203
As soon as he got off the train and walked to the platform, Chen Muwu didn't notice any difference between the railway station environment in Liepagrad and the railway stations of other countries he passed through these days.
He originally thought that the train station should be the kind of socialist style full of Sulian aesthetics, which could make him feel a little nostalgic for his previous life that he couldn't go back to.
But now it seems that Letegrad is probably more like Europe, except for the pedestrians who come and go on the platform, all of whom speak loudly in Russian that he does not understand – fortunately, there is an interpreter like Kapitsa.
However, after coming to Sulian, Chen Muwu, a black-haired and yellow-skinned man, attracted much less attention than when he was in Britain, France, and Europe, and everyone probably thought he was a Mongol.
In addition, they have spent a few days and nights on the train, there is no place to change clothes, and it is the hottest summer of the year, whether it is Chen Muwu or Kapitsa, the current dress of the two is not as glamorous as when they first left Paris.
Kapitsa had already sent a telegram to the country, informing them of the frequency of the train they were travelling on and the expected time of arrival in Legigrad.
On the platform of the station, the crowd had already stood waiting to welcome them, but no one recognized the two sloppy ghosts who had just stepped off the train.
It was the sharp-eyed Kapitsa who recognized the teacher who had gone around to raise money and send him to study in the Cavendish laboratory.
"Professor Yofy, Professor Yofy, we're here!"
Following the direction of Kapitsa's gaze, who was waving, Chen Muwu also saw several figures of people standing on the platform and coming and going in the center of the crowd, standing still.
He met in the crowd Professor Jofy, whom he had met three years earlier at the Solvay Conference in Brussels, Belgium, and smiled and nodded to him.
was shouted by Kapitsa, and the others saw Chen Muwu, a distinguished guest from afar.
But as the party that greeted the guests, they did not walk quickly, but still moved slowly in this direction without hurrying.
This is not because of the people on the platform and the difficulty of moving, but because there is an elderly man on crutches in the welcoming procession.
Seeing this scene, Chen Muwu and Kapitsa beside him said: "Peter, I think it's better for the two of us to take two steps forward. ”
Kapitsa nodded, agreeing with his good friend's view.
Walking closer to the welcoming team, Chen Muwu began to stare wide-eyed.
Although it is not like the clean water splashing on the streets, the red carpet mats, and the flowers presented by primary school students when the head of state visited other countries, the size of this welcome group also has about seventy or eighty people, but Chen Muwu only knows about one of them.
Not to mention him, it is estimated that Kapitsa, who stays in the UK all the year round and only returns to China to visit his relatives for a month every summer, can't recognize all these people.
So in the process of introducing each other, there was a very peculiar situation: Yo Fei first introduced the person to Kapitsa in Russian, and then he translated it into English and told Chen Muwu.
The introduction is the introduction, but Chen Muwu doesn't remember any of these names.
In general, Sulian physics has not yet begun to flourish at this time period, and it is normal for him not to know these people.
Inviting a world-renowned physicist like him to visit may be regarded as an attempt by the Sulian academic community to improve the level of physics in China.
The old man, Alexander Karpinsky, who was surrounded by the stars and the moon, was 79 years old this year, and he actually went to the Legigrad railway station to greet Chen Muwu.
Born in 1847, he was the same age as Thomas Edison, the inventor of the United States, a geologist who had served as president of the Russian Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg since the days of Tsarist Russia.
Tsarist Russia is such a large country, and Karpinsky is also an addressologist, who has traveled south and north and seen many places, from the Caucasus Mountains to the Kuril Islands, he has left his presence everywhere.
He lived in a young man at a time when Tsarist Russia was expanding outward and seizing territory.
Of course, the object of expansion was the Qing Dynasty, which was slaughtered by others.
Karpinsky has met many Far Easterners in his life, both himself and the Qing Dynasty.
In his impression, the perception of both types of people is similar.
It's just that with the development of time, the former seems to be getting stronger and stronger, while the latter seems to have changed little, but is weaker.
Seeing Chen Muwu at the train station in Legigrad today made Karpinsky a little unbelievable in his eyes.
When did the Khitan people from the Qing Kingdom be able to carry such strong self-confidence?
It has only been more than ten years since the overthrow of the imperial system, and this change in temperament of the Chinese people is too obvious, right?
Could it be that the overthrow of the imperial system is really useful, and Karpinsky has already begun to imagine whether the vast number of young people in Russia will be like this Chen Muwu in front of him in a few years.
But what he didn't know was that Chen Muwu was able to cultivate this kind of self-confidence not for more than ten years, but for a hundred years.
As soon as the old man was excited, he began to go out in Russian one after another, and the general content was to welcome Chen Muwu to Leygrad and to the Sulian Academy of Sciences to participate in the visit.
Not only was Chen Muwu, who was welcomed, very confused, but even Kapitsa, who was working as a translator in the middle, was a little stunned.
A warm welcome is due, but isn't it a little unusual to be so warm as the dean?
Yo Fei, who was on the side, felt that he couldn't let the dean continue to talk like this.
The crowd of people on the platforms of the Ledgrad railway station would not only obstruct the passage of passengers, but also make the conversation loud in a noisy environment.
The essence of the loud voice that Capitsa learned from Rutherford was of course unaffected, but the others were not.
While the old dean finished speaking, and Kapitsa also finished translating, Chen Muwu was about to speak but before he could speak, and Yue Fei interjected on the side.
"Dr. Chen, dean, academicians and professors, it's not convenient to continue talking here, we still have time, why don't we go back to the Academy of Sciences first and then continue to communicate?"
With almost no objection, everyone passed, so they walked out of the exit of the railway station and boarded the cars that had been standing there for a long time.
Chen Muwu was still sitting in the same car as Kapitsa, and the other cars were driving back to the Sulian Academy of Sciences, while theirs was going directly to Kapitsa's local house.
When I went on a long trip in the summer without air conditioning, my clothes were full of sweat-soaked and dry, soaked and dry sour smell.
You have to take a shower and change your clothes before you can be a decent guest in the Sulian Academy of Sciences.
At that time, when arranging Chen Muwu's visit, Su Lianren also asked him about his requirements for accommodation for this trip.
However, Kapitsa's suggestion was to let Chen Muwu follow him to his house in Lepegrad.
After inquiring and learning that it would not cause trouble or trouble to Kapitsa, Chen Muwu agreed to his friend's invitation.
Rather than staying alone in a hotel and not understanding Russian, it is better to follow Kapitsa home and find a chance to explore the sights of the city again.
After taking a shower and changing into new clothes, the two of them went to the Sulian Academy of Sciences in the center of Leggrad to attend the welcome banquet held here for Chen Muwu.
Although the ingredients for Su Lianren's dinner are not as abundant as those of the rich Trinity College, it may be because they are closer to the Far East, and the taste of their cooking is very much in line with Chen Muwu's taste.
Speaking of which, I have to whip the British again, they can make such a high-end meal so unpalatable, which can be regarded as a kind of talent.
In addition to food, there are Russians who cannot live without wine on the table.
Kapitsa is at the Eagle Bar at Cambridge University, and he definitely doesn't fall out of the top five on the list of the best drinkers.
But when he arrived at home, he became a small party dish on the wine table.
Chen Muwu, who didn't drink, swept everyone's wine a little, but because he was a distinguished guest, no one could say anything.
As a nation that can sing and dance, after drinking to the top, some young people in the Sulian Academy of Sciences began to perform their talents one after another.
Chen Muwu even saw the kind of "political commissar dance" that squatted on the ground, and someone invited him to try it on the field, but Xiao Chen shook his head and refused again like refusing to toast.
He wanted to sing along with the song, but the only song he could sing a few words of empty Russian was "Katyusha", which was still more than ten years away.
The people of the fighting nation are so amazing, they are obviously already drunk at the wine table, but after the dinner, there are still staff members who can find Chen Muwu and explain to him his itinerary in Legigrad for the next two weeks.
Every week, I give a lecture of a popular science nature for science enthusiasts at the Sulen Academy of Sciences, with no limitation on the subject, a total of two.
The rest of the morning he lectures to the students of the Physics Department at Letegrad University, on the same subject.
In the afternoon, I will either have a seminar with the teachers and professors, or I will accept the invitation of the organizer to visit various places in the city of Ledgrad.
On the last day after Chen Muwu's visit, the Sulian Academy of Sciences will hold a ceremony to announce the admission of him as a foreign member of the Academy.
In the view of the Sulian Academy of Sciences, this last content is purely to use Chen Muwu's fame to give them a scientific organization that lags behind their European counterparts a lot.
In other words, awarding Chen Muwu this honorary title is not the glory of Chen Muwu, but the glory of Sulian Academy of Sciences.
But in Chen Muwu's eyes, if he has the title of foreign academician of the Sulian Academy of Sciences, after returning to China, it will definitely be no problem for him to be rated as a member of the academy at the beginning of the establishment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Of course, even if he doesn't have this title, there is no problem in being named a member of the Division.
Question Seonjong, understand Seonjong, and become Seonjong.
Coming to the territory of the future Xunzong, Chen Muwu suddenly unlocked the habit of collecting.
He is now a Fellow of the Royal Society, a Foreign Member of the Sulian Academy of Sciences, and a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
In addition, if he marries Eve in the future and becomes Marie Curie's son-in-law, then he should have a share of the foreign academician of the French Academy of Sciences, right?
After arriving in Sweden, the number of academicians of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences will definitely not be able to run.
Chen Muwu even wondered if he would be able to enter the Nobel Prize review committee, but most of the time there should be little hope, unless he can change his nationality to Sweden.
In addition to these future relations with him, the Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in Scotland should have no problem.
Oh yes, I almost forgot that there was also the Academia Sinica.
This place is not to mention an academician, as long as Chen Muwu wants to give up academics and become a politician and get rich, it is estimated that even the dean can get him.
After the banquet in the evening, Chen Muwu took Kapitsa, who was already unconscious, and returned to Kapitsa's house.
Miraculously, the next morning, this guy got up earlier than Chen Muwu, and looking at his lively appearance, it didn't look like he had just had a hangover all night.
On the first day, I went to the Sulian Academy of Sciences to give a lecture to the general public.
Chen Muwu's preparation was not sufficient, and he even hastily laid out the outline on the train.
But this kind of lecture is not difficult for him, because he has done many similar lectures in England and Sweden before, and he is familiar with it.
The only thing to note is that the lecture should not be caught in the middle of those myths and legends, after all, this is a materialist country that does not believe in ghosts and gods, and the people who listen to the lecture are not as foolish as the superstitious British.
But by the next day, everything was starting to go off track.
According to the arrangement, Chen Muwu will enter Leegrad University today to give classes to the students of the physics department, and then meet with college students.
College students all over the world are the most hormonal and energetic people.
The Cambridge students rowed, swam, played table tennis, drag racing, and took advantage of the heat of the strike.
The students of Letegrad University also have energy to vent.
Chen Muwu and Kapitsa, as well as the accompanying staff of the Department of Physics, walked to the classroom where classes were going to be held today.
Before I reached my destination, I heard a loud argument in the hallway.
The staff changed their faces and wanted to come forward to stop the students who had embarrassed the school in front of the guests.
Kapitsa smiled and said to Chen Muwu, "It sounds like they're arguing about whether your theory of the origin of the universe is correct or not. ”
Hearing him say this, Chen Muwu stopped the staff who were about to leave.
In a normal academic debate, there is no need for such an overreaction.
It is normal for many people to disbelieve or admit the theory of the expansion of the universe.
When cosmic microwave background radiation is dramatically discovered, most of the world's skepticism will fall silent.
Chen Muwu poked his head out curiously, observing the situation inside through the glass of the back door of the classroom.
He saw several people besieging a young man standing on a podium.
Although he couldn't understand Russian, from the expressions on the young man's face, Chen Muwu felt that he was not afraid of all this in front of him.
