209 unplanned meetings
When it comes to studying abroad, Landau promises to be useful, but not much.
He still has a series of procedures to go through, and a bunch of formalities to go through.
But that's okay, anyway, there are still two months left for Landau.
As long as he can complete all this before Chen Muwu returns via Sulian, if nothing else, he can smoothly follow him to Cambridge University in England and become the second in Kapitsa.
However, Chen Muwu was only backstage in the auditorium of the Sulian Academy of Sciences, and asked Professor Yue Fei for such a person.
As for Gamofu, who wanted to leave Su Lian and go outside to see the world, he was not on Chen Muwu's list.
Without Chen Muwu in his previous life, he could also rely on his strong desire to leave the country that restricted his thinking in every possible way.
Then let's still let Gamov rely on his own ability, Chen Muwu doesn't want to wade into this troubled water like Lang Zhiwan and find some unnecessary trouble for himself.
After the last lecture in Letegrad, there was no accident, and the physics colleagues of the USSR Academy of Sciences invited Chen Muwu to rub it again.
During the banquet, everyone talked about various topics, and someone asked Chen Muwu what direction he thought the future of physics was.
This time, Chen Muwu did not say the unreliable answer of superconductivity, but kept in mind the teachings of his teacher Kapitsa, and advertised the particle accelerator he had newly developed in the Cavendish laboratory.
The future of physics is, of course, particle physics, and the University of Cambridge has developed a great tool for studying particle physics, which is cheap and unscrupulous, and you can also enjoy early bird prices when you buy now.
These professors and scholars of Sulian Academy of Sciences were fooled by Chen Muwu and fell into the clouds.
They didn't know why Chen Muwu had never drunk a drop of wine, so why he would say such a long string of words in one breath.
Is he exaggerating, or is he genuinely saying what he thinks in his heart?
Some people feel that they can't listen to his family, and it is better to send someone to Cambridge University for an investigation.
After eating this meal, Chen Muwu's time in Lebegrad has entered the countdown.
The Swedish crown prince's visit to China is very urgent, and tonight is the last night for everyone to stay in Leegrad.
Early tomorrow morning, the people will take a special train from Legigrad to Esko, the starting point of the Trans-Siberian Railway, and embark on a journey eastward.
In order to avoid delaying the trip tomorrow, Chen Muwu did not go to Kapitsa's house to stay today, but stayed with Oppenheimer in the hotel where the Swedish crown prince stayed.
On a certain day before, Kapitsa also expressed to Chen Muwu that he had been in his house for more than half a week anyway, and he wanted to go to China with him for a walk and a turn.
However, his wish was ruthlessly rejected by Chen Muwu.
This is not to say that Chen Muwu is stingy, he has lived in Kapitsa's house for more than half a week, and he spends his friend's money on food and clothing.
It's just that the situation in China is complicated now, although Sulian has established diplomatic relations with Beiyang, but it has always been with another side of the south.
Especially Zhang Dashuai, the king of the Northeast who has been sitting in Mukden, is now in charge of Shaojing, and the relationship between him and the Su Lian people is even worse.
Feng and have always been with the Su Lian people in the first place, the northeast and the Soviet Union, and there is a northeast lifeline controlled by the Su Lian, the Middle East Railway.
To Zhang Dashuai, Su Lianren is like a thorn in his eye.
Recently, with the support of Su Lian, the southern part of the army went all out to the north in several ways, which touched Zhang Dashuai's backscales.
And to return from Sulian, it must be to enter from the northeast, and then take the train along the Middle East Railway and the Jingfeng Railway to Shaojing or Tianyi, and then transfer to the Jinpu Railway to go south to Beijing and Qihai.
Along the way, they will either be under the full control of the Feng department, or they will also pass through the combat zone of the Northern Expedition.
Although they were a high-profile diplomatic mission, if Kapitsa went with him, his status as a Sulian might be in trouble.
Zhang Dashuai launched a ruthless attack and ignored it, with his own support, he even dared to let his subordinates rush into the Sulian Embassy in Dongjiaomin Lane to rob people, what is a little Kapitsa?
At that time, if Kapitsa is arrested in the name of Su Lian's spy, Chen Muwu will definitely have to deal with all aspects and try his best to catch people.
He didn't want to make this trouble for himself, not to mention that Kapitsa followed him to China, and there was nothing to exchange academically.
The crown prince of Sweden is a member of the royal family, and he has traveled thousands of miles to visit the mountains and rivers.
Chen Muwu came with a mission, he had to take this opportunity to come up with a fairly fair selection mechanism for international students in China, and by the way, he would take his family to Europe in the name of attending his wedding.
Just the thought that China should also know that he was going to return to China, and it was inevitable that many universities and bureaucrats would send out invitations to give speeches and guests, and he had a headache.
Time is pressing, he can't be busy at all, and it's better to push these invitations as soon as he can.
Kapitsa really has nothing to visit in China, Chen Muwu has to be distracted to arrange a trip for him, it is better to stay in Sulian for a few more days, and then go back to Paris and his little girlfriend Anna Qingqing and me.
But why did Chen Muwu choose to bring Oppenheimer?
This is because Oppenheimer is also a serious foreigner, and he will definitely follow Chen Muwu every step of the way.
When the Swedish crown prince arrives in China, there will be no shortage of banquets, and
If you encounter any danger in the country, it is still very useful to have a foreigner by your side.
Everyone is black-haired, black-eyed and yellow-skinned, Chen Muwu has no writing on his face, walking on the street, although he is fat and light, no one will know who he is, at best, he will be regarded as the son of a rich family, or a professor in a university or something.
But Oppenheimer's appearance is self-explanatory, and you can tell at a glance that he is a foreigner.
is obviously in his own country, but he still has to rely on the foreigners who follow him to fake the fox, what a magical thing.
After a night's rest, Chen Muwu and Oppenheimer followed the Swedish crown prince and his entourage on a special train to the east of Sulian's capital, Zšoško.
In fact, the two of them don't need to be in such a hurry, after all, the Swedish crown prince has arrived in Jusko, and a series of diplomatic activities are waiting for him.
There is no reason to go to someone else's capital and not even meet others.
But Chen Muwu has nothing to do in Lebegrad, so it is better to enjoy the cityscape of Jusco while others are running the itinerary.
As for Oppenheimer's arrival in Leegrad, he hadn't even visited the surrounding area......
Who made him just here?
The railway line from Legigrad to Zösko, almost 700 kilometers.
Running on it at the speed of a steam train, even on the highest-ranking special train on the railway map, took a full twenty-four hours of a day and a night.
The train was on the morning before, and the next morning, the diplomatic train slowly pulled into the platform of the Jasco railway station.
On the platform next to the train, there was a welcome ceremony that had been prepared for a long time, and the military band, the guard of honor, and the officials and relevant personnel of the Soviet Union, Sweden, and China were looking forward to it, waiting for the carriage door to open, and the distinguished guests slowly walked down from above.
In a group of blonde and blue-eyed Nordic people, a yellow man suddenly walked down, and Chen Muwu always felt a little nondescript.
Fortunately, they didn't welcome themselves, and their roles were also dispensable, Chen Muwu simply said to the person in charge of the Swedish mission to his docking staff, pulled Oppenheimer to wait in the carriage, and after the welcome ceremony was over, the two of them quietly touched the train.
On the platform on the other side of the train, although martial law has been temporarily imposed due to the arrival of distinguished guests, the newsstand in the center of the platform has received and set up today's "Truth" newsprint before dawn.
Chen Muwu and Oppenheimer were stunned, and neither of them knew Russian, so no one could understand what was written in the newspaper.
As everyone knows, the speech of the speech that Chen Muwu gave at the Sulian Academy of Sciences in Leggrad the day before yesterday had already arrived in Jusco one step ahead of them and was published in this national newspaper.
Without the presence of Chen Muwu, Timiryatiev would still have put forward his critique of Einstein and the theory of relativity.
Su Lian's people of insight in the field of physics will definitely not sit idly by, but will make an academic counterattack to this fallacy.
Historically, it was Professor Joffy who sounded the clarion call for a counterattack, and his rebuttal article, "Experiments Prove Einstein's Theory of Relativity to Be Correct," was published on the Newsprint of Truth.
It was published on January 1, the New Year's Day of 1927.
In fact, no one wants to come out in this way, because as long as there is a debate, physics and politics will be involved, and the nature of academic discussion will be changed.
Physics is an experiment-based science, not a philosophy of verbal warfare.
And there is a certain risk in coming out, Timiryatiev is a professor at the University of Heaven, and Ezko is the first place at the foot of the Son of Heaven.
Who knows if his attack on Einstein and the theory of relativity this time was due to a sudden nervous outburst, or whether he received the guidance of a master and someone behind him to stand up for him?
But Yo Fei had to come out again, because he was an academician of the Sulian Academy of Sciences, and an expert and leader in domestic physics.
If the entire Soviet Union criticizes the theory of relativity one-sidedly, then these colleagues in the country who study physics will never be able to hold their heads up in front of physicists all over the world.
Chen Muwu's lecture at the Sulian Academy of Sciences pointed out Timiryadev's naïve idea of relativity, although it was humiliating.
But at the same time, he also criticized this erroneous theory, saying that foreign monks can recite scriptures, and if he comes out, he just solves a big problem for Yue Fei.
If you can get your rebuttal article to appear in the newspaper on the first day of the new year, you naturally have a way to send Chen Muwu's speech to the editorial office of the same newspaper.
So Chen Muwu and the full text of his speech coincidentally appeared on the same day.
As the author of the speech, Chen Muwu was completely unaware of the consequences of this incident.
After the welcome ceremony, he walked out of the train car with Oppenheimer.
Time was pressing, and the Swedish crown prince and his entourage went to attend the meeting and talks according to the established schedule.
On the first day of their arrival in Jusco, Chen Muwu and Oppenheimer also leisurely walked around landmarks such as Red Square and the Ke Palace.
Then in the evening, the two returned to the hotel where they were staying, and an unexpected appearance appeared.
A Soviet staff member with an interpreter had been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw Chen Muwu walking into the hotel, he hurriedly got up and walked forward.
After a handshake and formulaic politeness, the other party said the purpose of the late-night interruption.
Someone wants to return home from vacation to Chen Muwu on the way to meet here.
Time is limited, and the other party has a lot of opportunities, so this meeting is completely improvised.
Therefore, he could only work hard for the guest Chen Muwu to make a trip, so that he could go to the designated place late at night and meet with others.
Although he didn't know what to say after the meeting, Chen Muwu felt that with the life talisman of the Swedish crown prince, the other party could not harm himself.
See you, and when the staff appeared at the hotel, the other party didn't come to discuss with him, just a notice.
So Chen Muwu got into a car for no reason, came to a place for no reason, and saw a person for no reason.
Although the person opposite is not bearded and holding a pipe, it is estimated that the level should not be low depending on the grandeur of the office.
After meeting, the other party's straight to the point made Chen Muwu even more startled.
"Mr. Chen, do you think the theory of relativity is really materialism?"
Why did the content of a speech I gave in Leggrad the day before yesterday reach Jusko today?
How did he know that he asked if it could be published in a newspaper, and that this newspaper would be "Truth"?
Since this question is asked, the other party must have come prepared.
It's okay for Chen Muwu to fool his peers who are also not high in philosophy at the Sulian Academy of Sciences, but if he still talks about philosophy on this occasion, it is estimated that he will be timid in a few words.
Then he might as well return to his old profession of physics and give the other party an example.
asked for a pen and a few pieces of paper, and Chen Muwu began to write and draw on them.
He first used the calorific value of coal to calculate the amount of heat that can be released by completely burning one ton of coal under normal conditions.
Then, using Einstein's mass-energy equation, it was calculated that with less than one milligram of mass loss, the energy converted would be equivalent to the complete combustion of one ton of standard coal.
"This gentleman, I am currently at Cambridge University, and I am engaged in experiments to verify whether the mass-energy equation is correct or not. If correct, then only a small pinch is needed to provide the equivalent of a ton of coal.
"Is this a major benefit for a country that needs to be built urgently?
"From this point of view, do you think that whether it is relativity or quantum mechanics, is it idealistic or materialistic?"
Although it is very troublesome to convert energy with mass, it will take at least ten years or even decades, but Chen Muwu still drew a big pie in this situation, the purpose is to be able to bluff people in the shortest possible time.
The person on the other side pondered for a while: "Dr. Chen, if this result is finally verified, then the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics is, of course, materialism!" Authentic materialism!
"Dr. Chen, I have a reluctant request, can we send a few scientists to Cambridge University to work with you on this research?"
Chen Muwu agreed very happily: "Of course I have no problem here, but it is not me who is in charge of the Cavendish laboratory, but the director of the laboratory, Kapitsa."
"Coupled with the fact that the relationship between your country and the United Kingdom has not been so normal recently because of the strikes, I think it will be difficult to do so.
"I'm really sorry, but I'm a soft-spoken person, and I can't help anything about this.
"But I can take a student away, and in the past half a month in Lebegrad, I have found a very good seedling."
