Chen Muwu, who did not know Russian, had no idea that such a wonderful small theater was staged at this table in the cafeteria of Letegrad University.

Kapitsa, who was watching the whole process, saw Landau's "front and back".

He didn't want to lose face in front of his friends, but as soon as he saw Chen Muwu himself, he immediately behaved respectfully.

Kapitsa was tempted to translate the vignette to his close friend, but it didn't seem appropriate in the situation, and he didn't have time to interject.

In order to pay tribute to Landau, Chen Muwu rated the three young men in front of him in his heart for their future fame.

Landau was like thunder, Gamov had heard about it, and Ivanenko knew a thing or two.

The reason why it is said to be a tribute to Landau is because this gentleman is a real rating and scoring enthusiast.

Landau once used mathematical operators to divide the world's physicists into four categories.

The first type is the Laplace operator, where the symbol is a triangle with the tip pointing upwards, △.

This triangle is very vivid, representing the kind of physicists who are intelligent and can sit still, that is, can endure loneliness and engage in research, such as Einstein and Bohr.

The second type is the d'Alembert operator, where the symbol is a square, □.

This represents people who are stupid but can sit still, such as some physics faculty teachers at Moscow University.

The third type is a diamond shape, which represents people who are intelligent but can't sit still and can't stand loneliness, such as Landau himself.

The fourth type is the Nebra operator, the symbol is a triangle, ▽, which happens to be upside down with the Laplace operator.

And so on, this symbol represents a person who is stupid and can't sit still, like Ivanenko.

Is Ivanenko really stupid?

Not necessarily.

But because of his good friend, he later broke with Landau for political reasons, and from then on he naturally became the object of ridicule of this poisonous genius, allowing himself to always play the image of a fool in this physics joke.

Chen Muwu also learned about such a person as Ivanenko from this joke, and met him at Leggrad University today.

The whereabouts of these three friends are really embarrassing, Gamov went away to a foreign land, and Landau, who stayed in China, and Ivanenko did not get along with each other.

It is said that Gamov liked to run abroad, and he was influenced by Kapitsa.

In the twenties and thirties, Sulian had a slang term called "Kapitsa State", which refers to a small group of people who, like Kapitsa, hold Sulian passports but live abroad.

Gamow felt that he was as smart as Kapitsa, so he should not be trapped in the barren physics environment of his country, but should study and study with the world's most famous physicists in various foreign physics academic centers.

Therefore, under the double guarantee of his teacher, Professor Yoffei, and Professor Langevin, the chairman of the foreign conference and a member of the French Communist Party, Gamow was able to go abroad to attend the Solvay Conference, and he never returned.

Landau's love of dividing others into classes doesn't stop there.

One of his most well-known ratings is probably the Landau Genius Scale, which bears his last name.

He classifies people, or physicists only, into five scales from 0 to 5 on a logarithmic scale, with physicists at each level contributing ten times more to physics than physicists at his next level.

On this scale of genius, Newton, the founder of physics, had a grade of 0, Einstein had a grade of 0.5, and Bohr, Heisenberg, Dirac, Schrödinger, Fermi and others had a grade of 1.

Landau gave himself a ranking of 2.5 at first, and when he achieved a certain academic status in Sulian, he improved to 2, and it was not until he won the Nobel Prize in Physics after the car accident that he finally set himself at 1.5.

Although it has always given people a very arrogant feeling, in the face of this kind of physics predecessors, Landau will still show a very humble posture.

Not only did he apply science on a logarithmic scale, but he also did the same with women's appearances: from the first highest to the fifth lowest, a kind of night-time coffee scoring standard.

Fortunately, he lived in that era, and he was not Chinese, otherwise......

According to Landau's genius scale, Chen Muwu in his previous life may not even be rated with the lowest score of 5.

Because even if it is a 5 points, it is a physicist, but he has made a "pathological" contribution to the development of physics.

I don't know what level Landau will rank himself in this life?

Chen Muwu was a little curious.

After greeting each other, Kapitsa followed Gamov to eat, and Chen Muwu sat on the chair next to Landau and Ivanenko, staring wide-eyed.

He doesn't speak Russian at all, and the English level of the remaining two is even guessing, and it is better not to speak at all.

It wasn't until Capitsa came back from cooking, with such a pistachio, that the atmosphere at the table eased.

Chen Muwu strictly followed the teachings of his ancestor "don't say anything when you eat, don't say anything when you sleep", and didn't talk much after the whole meal.

The main thing is that there is nothing to say, and he didn't know at first that the one who was one against five in the classroom was actually Gamow.

Chen Muwu, who originally wanted to communicate with him, lost interest, he didn't want to get too close to such a person who liked backstabbing.

While eating, Chen Muwu's mind was all about how to take Landau out of Sulian Country.

Or at the end of the lecture, organize an exam, and then tell the Sulian Academy of Sciences and the Letegrad University that they like this student very much and hope to bring him to their side?

But in this case, there is no guarantee that Landau will be the first in the exam, and if Gamow takes the first place, he himself will want it or not.

Taking Gamow abroad means that his guarantors have changed from Jofy and Langevan to Chen Muwu himself.

If he still follows the old path this time and remains abroad and is unwilling to return to China, he will become himself who is untrustworthy on the side of the Sulian government.

Alas, it would have been nice if Landau had also gone to his own lectures, and it would have been justified that he had found a young man in class who he had found a good friend and wanted to take him to Cavendish at Cambridge University.

By the way, why didn't he attend his lecture today?

Chen Muwu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked.

Kapitsa wanted to answer him directly, because Landau had already answered the same question about Gamow.

But he also translated Chen Muwu's question into Russian in a bit of a mischievous way, wanting to see what kind of answer this prickly-looking young man would give when different people asked the same question.

After listening to Kapitsa, Landau's face did not blush and his heart did not beat, and he gave a completely different answer from what he had just said.

"Dr. Chen, in order to listen to your lecture, I took the night train from Baku to Lebegrad last night, and I am really embarrassed that I didn't get up this morning because I was tired from the journey."

In the end, there was even a trace of guilt on his face, and Ivanenko beside him nodded quietly.

Kapitsa, who was holding back a smile, told Chen Muwu what Landau said as it was.

The lunch was dull, and Gamow thought that Chen Muwu understood what Landau had just said to him, so his face was not very happy, and he remained silent and did not speak.

After leaving the cafeteria and separating from the Three Musketeers in Lebegrad University, Kapitsa couldn't help but completely relay to Chen Muwu the two different answers before and after Landau.

Dare to apologize so sincerely just now, it's all lying to him.

However, what he said is not unreasonable, the early atomic models are indeed outdated, and a casual opening of a textbook for a professional course in the physics department of a university can find a more detailed answer on it.

Landau just complained to Gamow, but he changed his rhetoric here, indicating that he still respected himself in his heart.

You must know that when facing others, Landau also said even more excessive things.

Dirac came up with the positron hypothesis, and Bohr sent a telegram to Landau asking for his opinion, only to write only one word on the callback, and "nonsense".

Einstein did not escape Landau's poisonous tongue, and after one of his lectures, the moderator asked the audience if there were any problems.

Without permission, Landau got up from his seat and said that Professor Einstein was not so stupid, but that his second equation could not be strictly withdrawn from the first.

Einstein looked at his board and thought for a long time, and finally said sorry to everyone: The young man in the back is completely right, please forget everything I said today.

One thing drops one thing, brine points tofu, the only person who can cure Lang Dao's arrogance is Pauli, who is even more serious than him.

On one occasion Landau went to Zurich to give a lecture, and Pauli, as the local host, was also present at the lecture.

Landau was very humble in that speech, and after the speech he walked uncharacteristically to the stage and told Pauli that what he had just said might be wrong.

Pauli also took a rare reassurance: "Oh, don't worry, absolutely not, what you said is so messy that I can't tell what is right and what is wrong." ”

Chen Muwu felt that he could get this kind of evaluation from Landau, which was already very good.

He just wasn't sure if it was because Landau respected himself, or because Landau was just a student who had just gotten a glimpse of physics, and he hadn't yet mastered the ultimate meaning of scolding.

Since the next day, Landau has appeared in the classroom where Chen Muwu lectures on time every morning, and he has sat in the first row every time.

Kapitsa, who was in charge of the translation, didn't understand why Chen Muwu had a soft spot for this prickly head who had deceived him, and would call Landau up every once in a while to answer questions.

Every morning after the lecture, in the afternoon, the staff of Lepegrad City would always invite Chen Muwu to visit different places in the city, factories, power plants, and printing plants......

Once, Chen Muwu was even invited to the telephone exchange room, only to find out later that it was the Ericsson company that he had suggested that the Wallenberg family buy was responsible for the production and maintenance and training of the wiring workers.

The Soviet side's move may be to let Chen Muwu help publicize the real situation in Su Lian after he leaves, so that those countries in the world, especially those countries in Europe and the United States, no longer portray them as a kind of red terror.

Chen Muwu didn't have much hope for this, even if he gave up all scientific research after returning to the UK and ran in all directions, but in the end there was only one result, that is, it was useless.

Before him, Russell and Wells had visited Soviet Russia, and they both practiced the propaganda mission that the Soviet Union had entrusted them with.

But in the end, the relationship between Britain and Su Lian is still tense and has reached the verge of severing diplomatic relations.

After visiting, Chen Muwu decided that after arriving in the UK, he would never touch this mold, and only talk about it in a small area.

Daring to say good things for Su Lian, the British public enemy, at Cambridge University will only make Balfour settle the old and new accounts together, and even the Duke of York may not be able to protect him this time.

Chen Muwu arranged his second lecture at the Sulian Academy of Sciences for the last few days of his trip.

This was because the Swedish consular officer in Leegrad came to the door again and said that his Royal Highness the Crown Prince also wanted to listen to the lecture and had decided to advance his departure date.

The Leegrad side would not refuse either Chen Muwu's reasonable request or the Swedish side, so the change in the time of the lecture was quickly approved by the Sulian Academy of Sciences.

Chen Muwu also took the opportunity to ask about Fei if he could take a few students to study at Cambridge University when he returned, just like his beloved apprentice Kapitsa.

Yue Fei didn't readily agree, only said that he would ask him to make a list, and then report to the leaders of the Academy of Sciences, and wait for a while before he could give a specific answer.

Chen Muwu knew that what they had to do in the next few years was to inspect the three generations of Landau's ancestors.

If any suspicious points are found in it, maybe Chen Muwu will pass through Sulian again on his way back, and he will not see Landau's shadow at all.

However, he was quite confident in this matter, and Landau in 1929 could go abroad, so he should be fine in 1926.

Oppenheimer "must believe his words and do what he does", and he rushed Chen Muwu to Sulian in the last few days of his stay in Leegrad, from Britain to "cross the sea to the east".

He arrived in Lebegrad with the Crown Prince of Sweden.

A grand welcome ceremony was held at the port of Leegrad to welcome Prince Gustav.

Although he is not the head of a country, he is also the prince of the country, and Su Lian will never let go of any kindness thrown at him now.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Sélen sent high-ranking officials to Leegrad and held a grand welcome dinner on the first evening of the arrival of the Swedish crown prince.

As a good friend of Prince Gustav and his companion for the next leg of his journey, the Swedish Consulate also sent Chen Muwu an invitation to dinner.

After a series of welcomes and speeches, Chen Muwu thought he would be able to eat a full meal in a down-to-earth manner, and then he was interrupted by a short yellow man in a tuxedo suit and holding a wine glass.
