Chen Muwu entered 1927 with great reluctance.

Whether it is the Shaojing government or the Shenjing government, although it has existed for more than 40 years, it has been rotten every year of its life, and this year is especially true.

The only thing that is gratifying at the beginning of the year is that the masses of the people forced the British to abandon the British concession of Han and Jiuqi, which seems to have made a good start to 1927, and the Chinese people under the leadership of the southern government are about to get on the right track and flourish day by day.

But this was only a desire to suppress the first to rise, because soon after the incident, the British government, having lost two colonies, out of a revenge mentality, sent a large number of troops into the public concession of the sea to defend it to the death.

Then the weakness and capitulation of such and such a class reappeared, and in order to enable the newly formed government to gain the support of the European and American powers, the southern side had no choice but to turn a blind eye and acquiesce in this violation of sovereignty by the British.

Then, in April......

Don't say nonsense like "a grain of sand in the times, a mountain above an individual's head".

Even if it is a grain of sand, he Xiao Chen is also determined to be a grain of sand, and he is bound to change something.

But in the coming 1927, Chen Muwu did not expect to make any changes.

It's not that he doesn't have that ability, big changes can't work, it's still okay to be a little boy who throws a stranded fish back into the sea as much as he can on the beach.

But he couldn't do that yet, because in addition to the fish, in addition to the seawater, there was also a kind of crab called "He" that was rampant.

As long as you do something out of the ordinary that is slightly out of line with the process, the crab will run at you arrogantly with its pincers and clip it directly.

In this case, Chen Muwu had no choice, he could only be an escapist ostrich, when he didn't know what to do, he buried his head deep in the sand, just like waiting for the heat of the psychic matter to pass.

It seems that in recent years, Chen Muwu has spent Christmas and New Year's Day every year in Paris, not in Cambridge, England, as if France has become his second home.

After eating and drinking at Debroe's house for more than half a month, although I don't know how the limelight has dissipated in the UK, Chen Muwu still pulled Kapitsa, who was a little reluctant to leave, and returned to Cambridge University before the start of school.

The best way to dissipate the heat is not to respond, because there are always new hot events emerging every day, attracting the attention of the general public again and again.

It turns out that Chen Muwu's approach is really good, although after returning to Cambridgeshire, he will occasionally be looked sideways by pedestrians passing by when he walks on the road, but the discussion of this matter in the whole of Britain has dropped a lot compared to the previous crazy time.

But this does not mean that Chen Muwu will not be ridiculed among acquaintances, even if the teacher Rutherford has left Cambridge University, he, the acting director of the Cavendish Laboratory, has taken office, and after meeting with Chadwick, the chief housekeeper of the laboratory, the first thing the other party said to Chen Muwu was also ......

"Director Chen, before Director Rutherford left, he specially explained to me that if I see you, I must ask you a word: 'Chen, since you are already a great psychic master with boundless power, then I would like to know one thing, whether that electrically neutral particle in the nucleus exists or not? If so, will we be the first to find it in this hide-and-seek in which physicists from all over the world participate? ’”

People who have always wanted to find neutrons entrust the people who discovered neutrons in their previous lives to ask themselves if they can finally find neutrons.

The interpersonal relationships involved in this question are really peculiar, and Chen Muwu must have given the answer without hesitation, "can".

He felt that the scene in front of him was very similar to the minister who came from afar in the Qing court TV series, delivering the emperor's edict to the local officials, and almost like the plot inside, his next sentence should be "Respectfully Saint Ann", and Chadwick replied "Saint Ann".

After the completion of the "play", Chadwick, who had been learning Rutherford's tone just now, finally relaxed his facial expression, showing a rare humorous side of the British.

"The director said, let you ignore those rumors, and do a good job in the experiment with peace of mind, so that the Cavendish laboratory can have more achievements, which is more important than anything else.

"In the past few months, you have been the big boss, and we have all obeyed you."

Pride and complacency have never been Chen Muwu's character, and he hurriedly went back politely: "I just luckily won the teacher's love, so I temporarily took over the management task of the laboratory." But I've only been in Cambridge for a few years, and I don't know anything about it, so I hope you can help me if something happens. ”

"Well said, well said."

He must not offend the big butler in front of him, otherwise he will probably not be able to spend most of the funds that are pulled by himself.

Chen Muwu did not choose to change the shotgun, Gao Sheng entered Rutherford's office, and he still went to the room he was familiar with.

The teacher is just gone, not dead, and there is no need for him to satisfy his vanity by raising the rank of the office.

Moreover, from 1919 to 1926, the smell of tobacco filled every corner of the office.

Chen Muwu, who doesn't smoke, even thinks that if he can't find tobacco for a while, he just needs to enter this office and take a deep breath, which can temporarily calm his addiction to smoking.

From the trajectory of the cloud room photographs that have been taken long ago, it is not difficult to calculate what the new substance is and how much kinetic energy this new substance has.

Even the difficulty of the physics calculation questions in the future college entrance examination is greater than the difficulty of the above two jobs.

Zhao Zhongyao and Cockcroft have long verified the correctness of Einstein's mass-energy equation by using the mass loss before and after the reaction and the kinetic energy difference between the incident proton and the outgoing alpha particle.

The last step left before the two of them published their first weighty physics paper was to translate the draft written in English into German word for word.

According to Cockcroft's meaning, since Dr. Chen, of course, should be called Director Chen now, promised to help translate this paper, and recommended it to Planck in the German "Annals of Physics", they have already done everything that needs to be done, and then they only need to wait for Chen Muwu to return to the UK.

Although Zhao Zhongyao had different opinions, he did not express them at that time.

Not counting Oppenheimer, who occasionally came to make a cameo appearance to make soy sauce, there were only two people in their research group: himself and Cockcroft.

If you look down and don't look up, it's not worth it if you disagree because of a small thing.

So while Cockroft, a native of the UK, was returning home for Christmas and New Year's Day, Zhao Zhongyao, who stayed at Cambridge University, looked at the English-German dictionary and read the English draft word by word, and made a first German paper.

Knowing that Chen Muwu had returned to Cambridge, Zhao Zhongyao specially took the time to send this German version this morning.

According to his meaning, they rushed back to the particle accelerator immediately after sending it, and following Chen Muwu's suggestion, they would next replace the lithium target with a beryllium target and a boron target, continue to bombard with protons, and take pictures with the cloud room.

After all, unlike Chen Muwu, a "genius" who only makes pioneering work in a certain aspect and then turns to a new field, it is not easy for them to achieve outstanding results in a topic, and the next work to be done will definitely be based on this place and continue to cultivate to see if they can make some greater results.

And among today's universities, this particle accelerator in the Cavendish laboratory is the only one of its kind, and if you seize this time difference to be ahead of others, you may be able to lead step by step in the future.

Zhao Zhongyao, who was in a hurry to go back to do the experiment, wanted to leave, but Chen Muwu left him behind.

He entered the school in the same year as Oppenheimer, and this year it was time to get a doctorate diploma and wear a doctorate hat.

Moreover, Zhao Zhongyao now has this experiment and this series of papers in his hands, and graduation will definitely not be a problem.

But another question arises, and that is where he will go after graduation.

Zhao Zhongyao is a student that Chen Muwu asked for from Ye Qisun, although he is said to be a student, but the two are about the same age, and the former is even a few months older than the latter.

If it weren't for Chen Muwu, after working as a teaching assistant at Tsinghua University with Ye Qisun for several years, it wasn't until this year that Zhao Zhongyao left China for the United States, did experiments with Milligan, and then finally returned to China at the end of 1931.

Now there is a time gap of four years, Chen Muwu really wants to keep Zhao Zhongyao, the school in Sweden is in the initial stage, and every teacher is precious.

And Zhao Zhongyao is not an ordinary person, he was a master of physics education in his last life, and if nothing happens in this life, he should be able to win a Nobel Prize in physics.

If he couldn't keep him by his side, Chen Muwu would feel a pity.

But after all, I have to respect the personal wishes of others, from going abroad in 24 years to graduating in 27, it has been more than three years since I went abroad and left my hometown.

Now that I finally got my doctorate, I didn't even let others go back to my home after graduation, which is a bit unkind.

Even a son-in-law like Ye Gongchao, who had long been accustomed to pleasure, couldn't help but return to China, how could Chen Muwu be embarrassed to leave Zhao Zhongyao behind?

So he could only explain the matter and give Zhao Zhongyao two choices.

If you stay in Cambridge and follow yourself to Stockholm in the future, you will definitely be guaranteed a teaching position.

If he doesn't want to continue to wander abroad, but return to his hometown, then Chen Muwu can also help him write a letter of recommendation to the best and richest school in China - this richest and best school is, of course, Northeastern University, where Xiao Zhang Gongzi has invested a lot of energy.

Of course, at Zhao Zhongyao's level, it doesn't matter if there is a letter of recommendation from Chen Muwu.

A Ph.D. in physics from the University of Cambridge is a sought-after item in any university in China.

Moreover, his teacher Ye Qisun is now the head of the physics department of Tsinghua University, and it is easy to become a physics professor at Tsinghua University after returning to China.

Both options seem to be good, and in comparison, the Northern Expedition in the south is winning and the situation at home is very good, who wants to go to a bitter cold place like Sweden near the Arctic Circle?

After putting forward these two conditions, Chen Muwu also played the emotional card, saying that he hoped that Zhao Zhongyao could stay in Europe and help him more.

He was very nervous here, but he didn't expect that in the other party's place, he wouldn't call it a matter at all.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhongyao gave the choice of staying in the UK, thinking that he would use these advanced equipment abroad to make some academic achievements and then return to China.

In particular, the University of Cambridge has just built a particle accelerator, and it is almost time to pick peaches.

At this time, when you return to China, you can only start all over again.

And even if there is enough money in China, the level of industry is far from being comparable to that of the UK, and the time and energy required to build a new particle accelerator in a domestic university is definitely much more than that of the UK.

After listening to Zhao Zhongyao's choice, Chen Muwu finally relieved.

The former hurried back to the ion accelerator to continue his experiments, while the latter peacefully moved out of his typewriter and began to translate and polish the German paper.

Einstein, who had been denied by Chen Muwu before his parting in Paris, had been sullen since he returned to Germany, after Chen Muwu rejected his idea of using transformations to construct the unity of electromagnetic force and gravitational force.

His depressed mood did not improve until he received a letter from Chen Muwu not long ago.

Although the content of this letter was not the unification problem that Einstein wanted to see the most, it could be regarded as helping him solve a big problem.

The mass-energy equation is derived from the special theory of relativity and is also influential in other ways.

For example, in the matter wave experiment done by Chen Muwu and de Broglie, in the process of deriving the formula of matter waves, the mass-energy equation was used.

However, this formula has never been experimentally proven, but it has always been used conventionally by physicists.

Chen Muwu said in the letter that he has done a verification experiment on the most advanced equipment at Cambridge University and will submit it to the Annals of Physics in the near future.

So since receiving this letter, Einstein has been to the editorial office every once in a while to inquire about the situation.

Seeing this abnormal behavior, Planck couldn't help but joke with him: "Albert, what do you mean by this, do you want to contribute to us, or do you want to poach people from us?" ”

At the University of Berlin, the two were colleagues.

But in the German world of physics journals, these two are rivals again.

The reviewer system slowly surpassed the "Journal of Physics" of the "Annal", and Einstein was one of the initiators behind it.

Most of his recent papers have been published on it.

That's why Planck asked the question, and he couldn't figure out what it meant that Einstein, who had not contributed to the Annals for a long time, suddenly came to the editorial office.

"Where do I have any papers to write lately? finally came up with an idea, but it was rejected by Chen Muwu. I am here with you because Dr. Chen has written to me that he has a paper related to me that he would like to submit to the Yearbook. ”

Planck smiled after hearing this: "Before leaving Germany, Dr. Chen did tell me that he had a paper to submit to me recently.

"As long as Dr. Chen can consistently submit articles to the Annals of Physics, it will not be easy for your Journal of Physics to surpass us."
