It was late September 1926, the Mid-Autumn Festival had passed, and the autumn equinox had not yet arrived.

Chen Muwu, who was sitting at the table by the window, looked out from the window of this restaurant near the University of Berlin and saw a full moon hanging in the sky, and he realized this in hindsight.

Although he can't get it for sure, Chen Muwu definitely can't take out his mobile phone to look at the calendar - of course, he doesn't have a mobile phone, and he doesn't carry a perpetual calendar marked with the lunar calendar, so he doesn't know what day the Mid-Autumn Festival is.

He could only make a simple judgment from the shape of the moon, which should be around the Mid-Autumn Festival, but certainly before the autumnal equinox.

- Because in the Gregorian calendar, it is basically a fixed date, just around September 23 of each year.

If you calculate the time, Chen Muwu and Oppenheimer should have spent the Mid-Autumn Festival in Poland, but it doesn't matter, no matter where he is, he is a wanderer who wanders alone like duckweed.

It is now about ten days away from the wedding of Yorio and Irena in early October.

But there was more than one thing happening in October, at least at the University of Berlin in Germany, or the physics department of the University of Berlin, where the whole department was preparing to do something big.

Planck, the old head of the physics department, was invited by Helmholtz in 1889 to resign as professor of theoretical physics at the University of Kiel and take up a job at the University of Berlin, where he had died the year before.

In 1892 he inherited the tenured professorship of Kirchhoff and has been working at the University of Berlin for thirty-seven years today.

Planck, 68, is preparing to retire in October.

The entire physics department of the University of Berlin plans to hold a lively retirement ceremony for this conscientious old department head.

Things are always two sides of the same coin, the old department chair is retiring to enjoy his old age, and Planck's tenured professorship is vacant.

In today's Europe, whether it is Germany or the United Kingdom, universities are still small and excellent elite education, and there will definitely not be the farce of "Britain's top 100 universities with master's degrees".

The number of students is small, the university is small, and the number of professors and teachers in the school is also low.

And the professorship is basically a turnip and a pit, which will not be easily increased or reduced.

In order to get Chen Muwu a new teaching position at Cambridge University, the elder Tomson and Rutherford ran up and down, but the result was still repeated in vain.

Planck's turnip pit at the University of Berlin was vacated, so it was natural to plant a fresh and tender turnip here.

In order to take over as a tenured professor at the University of Berlin, Pauli had already resigned from the faculty at the University of Hamburg and had already moved to the German capital to adapt to life here.

He has also entered the University of Berlin and is waiting for October to take over Planck's position.

Pauli is only 25 years old this year, which is the golden age of human life.

He felt that he had a promising future, and in a few years, he would not only succeed Planck as a tenured professor, but even the position of professor in the physics department of the University of Berlin should not escape from the palm of his hand.

Although not long ago, the Chinese man named Chen Muwu had an accident at Cambridge University, so that physicists around the world followed his movements.

Some people also said that Planck, the head of the physics department, would retire soon, and it would be better to invite Chen Muwu to teach at the University of Berlin.

If this event finally becomes a reality, Chen Muwu will come to Germany, join the University of Berlin, get a tenured professorship, and become a professor in the Department of Physics.

This should have been a happy ending, except for the one who was occupied in the turnip pit.

And the radish pit occupied by Chen Muwu happened to be the one that was prepared for Pauli.

After receiving the news, Pauli, who was still at the University of Hamburg at the time, was always worried that this rumor would really come true, and his desire to go to Berlin to pick up Planck's class would come to naught.

Fortunately, the last incident confirmed that Chen Muwu's coming to the University of Berlin was completely empty and groundless.

Pauli made his way from Hamburg to Berlin without a hitch, and the best part of his life was about to begin.

At the end of the day's work at work, as a newcomer, Pauli invited his colleagues to a party in the restaurant next to the school after work.

It is not easy for an arrogant person like him to make such a move.

If he hadn't been a newcomer and wanted to gain a foothold at the University of Berlin, Pauli would never have been able to invite him to dinner to strengthen the bond between his colleagues.

It's not that he is reluctant to spend money, but he simply looks down on these people whose intelligence is inferior to his own.

Pauli, with a sense of natural superiority, walked into the same restaurant where Einstein and them were staying.

He once commented on Einstein, saying that not all of what Einstein said was stupid.

- This was after learning that Einstein praised him for writing a good entry on the theory of relativity for the encyclopedia.

He came to the University of Berlin, and it was not his Pauli's honor to be able to work with someone like Albert Einstein in the physics department in the future, but it was an honor for Einstein and the University of Berlin.

As he was thinking about how to greet Einstein, Pauli's eyes inadvertently swept to Oppenheimer, who was sitting across from Einstein.

The American named Oppenheimer, the biggest ability in his life is to hug Chen Muwu's thigh.

In addition to following Chen Muwu to do research and rubbing the third author of two experimental papers, does he have any other skills?

Pauline said that Einstein was really cold, maybe his time was not very valuable, so he was willing to waste it sitting down to eat with such a person who did not achieve much.

Could it be that Oppenheimer's lack of learning and inskill was finally revealed, so Chen Muwu was kicked out of Cambridge University and had to go to Berlin, Germany to join Einstein?

Pauli, who was full of disdain in his heart, was just about to withdraw his gaze when he saw another familiar figure beside Oppenheimer.

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

He couldn't laugh anymore.

Scheie！ (Shit!) ）

Why did Chen Muwu also appear in Berlin and have dinner with Albert Einstein?

Aren't the two of them at odds?

Pauli, who is arrogant, has no more than this perception of Einstein, but he is afraid and hateful of Chen Muwu, and he also has a little complicated feelings of identification.

The source of these two feelings of fear and hatred is very simple, he really dares to beat himself in Copenhagen.

And the glimmer of identity in his heart comes from Pauli's feeling that the new theory of quantum mechanics proposed by Chen Muwu still has a lot of merit.

A few years ago, when the German Physical Society was meeting, Albert Einstein took the stage to speak and raised his objections to quantum mechanics, which was still a novelty at that time.

The people sitting in the audience had mixed opinions about the new theory proposed by Chen Muwu, and they didn't know which of the two people, Einstein and Chen Muwu, was right and who was wrong.

Only Pauli stood firmly on Chen Muwu's side and put forward words such as Mach's principle to refute Einstein, who refuted the views of quantum mechanics on stage.

It's not that he opposed Einstein in order to show off at a gathering of physicists all over Germany, but Pauli really felt that there was nothing wrong with Chen Muwu's quantum mechanics.

Since I said goodbye to Copenhagen before receiving the Nobel Prize, and now I meet Chen Muwu again, nearly two years have passed.

Pauli's first reaction after seeing him was not a dull pain all over his body, afraid that the enemy would be extremely red when he saw him, and fast-forward to himself being beaten again.

Last time in Copenhagen, he and Chen Muwu were both foreigners in Denmark, and even if they called the police, they would probably play fifty boards each.

And he also had to give his teacher Bohr a face, so Pauli could only swallow the breath in his heart.

Returning to Hamburg from Denmark, Pauli was ashamed of his courage and while refining his physics research, he did not forget to engage in physical training, and practiced fencing whenever he had time, so that he could be ashamed.

Seeing Chen Muwu again in Berlin today, the self-confidence brought to him by physical exercise made Pauli not afraid to fight Chen Muwu again.

Even if you lose, so what!

This is not Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, but Berlin, the capital of Germany.

The law will guarantee the legal rights of every German, how old are you a foreigner, or a sick man in East Asia in the Far East, in Berlin?

This time, if you say anything, you will send Chen Muwu into the bureau.

It's just that Pauli, who is still hard but ready to be beaten again, suddenly has a not-so-optimistic premonition: at this juncture when Planck is about to retire, Chen Muwu suddenly appeared near the University of Berlin and sat with Einstein.

Thinking of the previous rumors, could it be that Chen Muwu has really left Cambridge University and is about to replace himself and become a professor at the University of Berlin?

Boiled duck, flew?

Pauli didn't know if the truth of the matter was as he thought, so he stepped forward and wanted to ask directly.

Whether it's true or not, give yourself a good time.

"Good evening, Professor Einstein!"

After entering the restaurant, he first walked to the table and pretended to say hello to Einstein.

Einstein nodded to Pauli, and he was about to respond, but he didn't give him the chance.

Pauli pretended to have just seen Chen Muwu, and forced a surprised expression on his face: "Ah, Dr. Chen! When did you come to Berlin? I didn't expect to see you here today! ”

Oppenheimer heard someone greet Chen Muwu, so he looked up.

Soon after he arrived at Cambridge University, he went on a business trip with Chen Muwu to Copenhagen, Denmark.

Although Oppenheimer was not present when Chen Muwu and Pauli were working in the guest room of the Institute of Theoretical Physics, he has been hating Pauli in his heart ever since, even if Chen Muwu took advantage of him.

Oppenheimer's heart was immediately filled with vigilance, and he quietly grasped the fork next to the plate.

He even adjusted his hand shape to find the easiest position to exert force.

If you start fighting later, you can get a preemptive strike and kill with one hit.

"Ahh Professor Pauli, long time no see! I heard that you will soon take over the teaching position of Professor Planck and join the Department of Physics at the University of Berlin. ”

Pauli was a little confused.

Listening to the meaning of Chen Muwu's words, he already knew about his job change.

He also knew very well that his reputation in Chen Muwu's heart was definitely the last few in the worst batch.

What does he mean by saying these words at this moment?

Are you congratulating yourself sincerely, or are you saying a few sarcastic words to him before telling you the cruel truth?

Pauli did a quick moment of empathy in his head, and if it was him, it would undoubtedly be the latter.

This Chen Muwu is really not a thing!

On the surface, he said that he would not come to the University of Berlin, but at the same time he disguised himself well, and after the turmoil was over, he stayed in Cambridge, England.

Who would have thought that this Chinese, who had a lot of eyes, actually adopted a roundabout tactic, ostensibly to go to Sulian to lecture and return to China by the way, but when he returned, he killed a horse gun and suddenly appeared in Berlin.

The anger in his heart had been ignited, and Pauli's face remained calm: "Thank you, Dr. Chen! I don't know what you are doing when you come to Berlin this time, Dr. Chen? ”

"I didn't plan to come to Berlin, but when I went back to Cambridge, I just passed by here," Chen Muwu smiled and looked at Einstein opposite, "It was Professor Einstein who personally went to the platform of the train station and 'kidnapped' me, and invited me to stay in Berlin for a few days, and by the way to discuss some physics problems." ”

It seems that Chen Muwu's answer is very sincere, not like he is lying to himself.

But Pauli was still a little uneasy: "Professor Einstein robbed you?" What does that mean? ”

"Wolfgang, haven't you read the newspapers these days? ……”

The talkative Albert Einstein took over the topic and described in detail Chen Muwu's "adventures" in Poland published in the newspaper.

“…… So after reading the newspaper, I went to the platform at the right time today, stopped Dr. Chen, and wanted to discuss some questions with him. ”

Chen Muwu said so, Einstein also said so, and now Pauli is finally relieved.

The nervous mood finally relaxed, and he finally showed the instinct of a good physicist.

"What interesting questions are you two discussing?"

Einstein's unified theory will be written and published sooner or later, and the discussion with Chen Muwu is also to broaden his thinking.

Pauli was also a brilliant young man, and although he was often dismissive of himself, Einstein held a liking for him, believing that Pauli represented the future of physics in Germany.

So Einstein took advantage of this meeting to tell Pauli, who was standing at the table, his idea of unifying electromagnetic force and gravitational force, and wanted to hear his opinion.

Pauli is not as hypocritical and aggrieved as Chen Muwu, what he focuses on is a true temperament.

After listening to Einstein's description, he had long forgotten the fear and worry in his heart when he first met Chen Muwu, and now he was full of confidence again.

"Professor Einstein, why are you still obsessed with the unification of the two fields?

"With all due respect, I don't think your idea of change this time should escape the results of the 'affine theory' that you swore to believe in a few years ago."

Chen Muwu thought to himself, Pauli deserves to be Pauli, and his sharp-toothed style has not changed.

Pauli thought to himself that Einstein deserved to be Einstein, and the question he was still thinking about was so boring and wrong.

Einstein thought to himself, Chen Muwu said that his idea was very interesting, but Pauli said that he would definitely make a mistake, who was right and who was wrong?

Oppenheimer thought to himself that he should not be able to fight today, so he quietly let go of his grip on the fork.
