It is better to doubt Chen Muwu's level of physics than to doubt Dirac's ability to walk and hike.

I don't know how many miles this so-called leisurely walk took in total, but the three of them walked from Lake Como to a mountain pass in the Alps.

In this kind of inaccessible place, the further you go, the deeper the snow on the road.

Signs on the side of the road indicate that it will take you a short walk through the pass to reach a small town called Chiasso in Switzerland.

The late-night horror in Poland made Chen Muwu not want to be a smuggler crossing the border without permission again.

He succeeded in persuading Dirac to reluctantly return on the grounds that he did not have a Swiss visa and that there was too much snow on the road ahead, and that if he continued walking, he would not be able to trap people in the snow by his feet and necks.

Not wanting to cross the border illegally is one thing, but the main thing is that Chen Muwu saw Fermi, who was consciously a "tour guide" by the two of them, and his physical strength didn't seem to be enough.

Fermi, who was already exhausted, felt as if he had heard the sound of heaven when he heard Chen Muwu's proposal.

He had just finished his walk as soon as possible, and he couldn't hold back his words.

Fermi actually wanted to tell Chen Muwu, who was worried about being detained by Swiss police officers because he didn't have a visa, that border towns like Como and Chiasso, which border the two countries, could walk through safely and unharmed even without a visa, according to Italian and Swiss law.

But he was afraid that after telling this fact, Chen Muwu would suddenly become interested and continue to walk forward with Dirac, which would really cost him his life in his twenties.

Now seeing Chen Muwu doing this, Fermi feels that he is a little bit of a villain's belly, the other party is so considerate, and he is so lazy and incompetent.

Not only has Dr. Chen been able to achieve so much in academics, but his character is also not to be said.

On the way back to the hotel, Fermi never forgot to pat the two people, saying that he knew that Chen Muwu was a swimmer participating in the Olympic Games, and it was natural that he had good physical strength.

didn't know that the people around Chen Muwu were also Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and even Dirac was an athlete, who had walked so far back and forth, and his face did not change and his heart did not beat.

Fermi's words made Dirac very comfortable, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

When I came to Italy, I naturally chose the world-famous pizza for dinner.

Although the pizzas in northern Italy are not as authentic as those in the south, Chen Muwu felt that the pizzas that night were not only much better than those in the UK, but even much better than the chain American pizza he had eaten in his previous life.

In front of so many Italians, Chen Muwu was embarrassed to talk about the fallacies he heard in his previous life, saying that the pizza was a delicious pie that Marco Polo tasted in China, and after returning to Italy, he wanted to eat it but couldn't eat it, so he found the most famous local chef to reproduce it, but the chef couldn't wrap the filling into a thin dough, so he had to expose it and bake it in the oven, but he didn't expect to create a delicious pizza.

If he really said this, I don't know if the Italians, who are proud of their country's cuisine, will be unkind to him Chen Muwu.

After returning to his room, Chen Muwu, who had taken a bath, fell asleep on the bed and fell asleep.

Dirac was almost in this state, among the three people who participated in today's excursion, only Fermi was tired and sleepy, but he couldn't sleep, so he had to sit at his desk, under the dim lamp, thinking with pen and paper about whether there was a problem with the alien that Chen Muwu told in a joking tone during the day.

The next morning, the Como meeting opened on time according to the scheduled time, but after the morning, Chen Muwu, who participated in the whole meeting, felt that he seemed to have listened to everything, and it was as if he had not heard anything.

At the beginning, it was the head of Italy who gave a welcome speech to physicists from all over the world.

The speeches were full of meaningless empty words and clichés such as "thank you for coming" and "I hope to achieve new results in the course of the meeting in the course of a few days", and it seems that all countries are not immune to the poison of this bureaucracy.

After the Italian delegates on the stage finished speaking, representatives of various countries took turns to give speeches.

The content of their speeches went straight to the theme of the conference, and they praised the central figure of the conference, the great Italian physicist Volta, for his outstanding contribution to the development of physics in the early nineteenth century.

After all, today's meeting is to commemorate the centenary of Volta's death.

On the German side, Planck took the stage to speak, while France was represented by Langevin, the Netherlands was Lorenz, and Denmark, of course, Bohr, all of whom were the most famous physicists in each country.

It is now clear why the elder Thomson and the elder Prague did not come, and Rutherford returned to New Zealand to visit his family, and Eddington had to come forward to join the young men of the Cavendish laboratory across the English Channel to Italy for the conference.

Although Chen Muwu was "cultivated" in the UK, he is not British after all.

Neither Italy nor Britain wanted him, a young Chinese, to represent the number one empire of old capitalism.

Of course, Chen Muwu was happy to be idle, but sitting in the audience for so long made him feel very bored, and always felt that he was listening to a cross talk on the Spring Festival Gala, although everyone was not commemorating the 139th anniversary of Pablov's birth, but after these "leader, colon" reports were over, the next step was to eat roast duck.

No matter what young person is, in the face of such a boring situation, he will definitely not be able to sit still in the audience.

So the top is speaking loudly, and the bottom is followed by a sneaky little action, as often happens in the classroom.

Pauli, who had complicated feelings for Chen Muwu, couldn't help but come to his side: "Dr. Chen, do you really think Wegener's imaginative theory of continental drift is correct, and can you find the oil hidden under the surface of the earth?" ”

The enemy doesn't offend me, I don't offend anyone, since Pauli asked sincerely, Chen Muwu told him compassionately: "Well, yes, yes." ”

Be concise, don't say a word, don't want to waste.

Okay, well, this Dr. Chen is still as blind and arrogant as before, he is really the same boy as before, and he has not changed in the slightest.

As if to get a satisfactory answer, Pauli actually smiled on his face.

He felt that it would not be long before he could see the moment when the irrefutable facts slapped Chen Muwu in the face, the positron a few years ago was a time, and the current continent drifted to find oil again.

Chen Muwu seemed to know how to read minds, or maybe he didn't want to see a smile on Pauli's face.

After answering, he asked again: "Dr. Pauli, are your ten Sovereigns ready?" ”

The title of doctor is just a smooth passage for Chen Muwu.

But Pauli heard it in his ears, and the words changed their flavor.

He is now a professor of physics at the University of Berlin, and if nothing happens in the next few years, he will soon be offered tenure, but he still refers to himself as a doctor.

It's not clear that he looks down on people, or he is sarcastic, saying that his professorship is not coming from the right way, and it is something he doesn't want, but he is holding it in the palm of his hand as a treasure.

Pauli didn't feel like he was overinterpreting it, he wanted to have a seizure, but he always felt that the occasion was not appropriate.

The ten Sovereigns mentioned in Chen Muwu's words were bets made by him and Pauli in Copenhagen because of one thing.

The question of whether positively charged electrons would exist in this world or not, Pauli still holds a negative view.

"Ten Sovereigns? Dr. Chen, I think you should be preparing this thing, right? ”

Although he could not have a seizure, Pauli was unrelenting in his words.

"I don't think so, or we'll raise the ante a little, for ten pounds now seems a little too little for you, a great professor at the University of Berlin."

Chen Muwu really thought so, although Sovereign was a currency minted from pure gold, the face value and value of a Sovereign were only equivalent to one pound.

Ten pounds was not enough to make Pauli bleed to the point of distress, and he wanted to take the opportunity to raise the price a little bit, so that Pauli's heart would be heartbroken.

If possible, Chen Muwu even wanted to raise the price to a thousand pounds, but he was afraid that Pauli would not agree.

So, he made a mistake in this matter.

The change of title in Chen Muwu's words just now, no longer calling Dr. Pauli but calling him Professor, made this person's mood instantly better.

At this time, let alone mention a thousand pounds, even if it is two thousand pounds, maybe Pauli can agree.

"Okay, a hundred pounds is a hundred pounds, this time we're done!"

Pauli happily agreed to Chen Muwu's proposal to change the bet, anyway, in his heart, positively charged antielectrons would never exist.

Since Dr. Chan is willing to give him money, it doesn't matter if he asks him to send more.

But Pauli never thought that he might be able to pay this amount of money.

After a confrontation, both of them were in a good mood, and they even felt that even the non-sincere compliments that the people on the stage said to express their gratitude to the organizers for their warm hospitality became a little pleasant.

The boring first day of the meeting finally ended near lunch.

That's right, the conference was held only one morning a day, and the afternoon was all about introducing the delegates to Como and the leisure time in Italy.

Many of the young physicists from Cambridge and the young scholars from Germany, who had been excluded from the international community because of their defeat in World War I, were attending such an international conference for the first time.

Even Zhao Zhongyao, who has always been calm and old, couldn't help but find an opportunity to ask Chen Muwu after lunch break if other international conferences were as relaxed as this time in Italy.

There is no guarantee that the reason why the Italians did this was just to "slap a swollen face and become fat", in order to make a good impression on physicists from all over the world, and ask them to help publicize it when they go back, so that the whole world will know how thriving the academic atmosphere in Italy is under the rule of the Montenegrin Party.

In the afternoon, the organizers of the conference organized a visit to the local silk factory in Como.

Because it guarded an Alpine pass leading to Europe – a place where soldiers were battled in the art of war books in ancient times – Como had earlier been engaged in the sale of silk imported from China.

Later, the locals were no longer satisfied with being a second-hand dealer who resold their hands, so they went one step further and learned the techniques of raising silkworms and mulberry from China, and set up their own first-hand processing factories in the local area.

Over time, Como became a silk center in Europe, and the silk produced here became more and more famous as a representative of Italian artisanal manufacturing.

After the introduction of the tour guide, Chen Muwu learned that there was such a thing.

He didn't know if it was because the organizers were Chinese, so they arranged it this way, or if it had been on their plan for a long time.

In short, the Como meeting was carried out in an atmosphere of "fishing in the morning and paddling in the afternoon", but as time moved forward, it finally ushered in the moment when Chen Muwu took the stage to speak.

Everything was going according to his original plan, and the University of Cambridge was going to present two different topics at the conference, one on quantum field theory and the other on particle accelerators, which Rutherford had always wanted to make a fortune.

The former is a purely theoretical thing, and Dirac, Heisenberg, and von Neumann are in charge, and they are also responsible for answering all kinds of inquiries from the bigwigs here.

And the other thing is so valued by his own teacher, so it is naturally Chen Muwu's turn to provoke the beam.

Zhao Zhongyao and Cockcroft took the stage to explain how their group used a particle accelerator to complete the first artificial nuclear reaction, which received continuous applause at the scene.

This must have been a milestone invention, and since then, physicists have itched to bombard something, and alpha particles are no longer the only alternatives.

After they finished their report and put a loud advertisement for the Cavendish Laboratory, Chen Muwu took the stage and pretended to say something like "sharing spirit" and "science without borders".

He first put himself on the moral high ground, and then he peddled the world's most advanced and high-end particle accelerator to his peers.

Planck in the audience came to the spirit, he had been waiting for Chen Muwu to tell the public the price of the particle accelerator for so many days, and then because the price of 6,000 pounds was too high, he was attacked by a group, and finally forced to reluctantly revise the price.

However, things don't seem to be going the way Planck had hoped.

As soon as Chen Muwu finished speaking, their Cavendish Laboratory was going to sell particle accelerators to the outside world, and some people in the audience couldn't wait to raise their hands.

"Dr. Chen, how much does your particle accelerator cost?"

Chen Muwu, who thought it would be a hard battle, didn't expect it to be so smooth, and he also got a little stuck: "Eight or eight thousand pounds." This is the price set by our director. ”

Hearing him say this, Planck was even more happy, he felt that six thousand pounds was already ridiculously high, but he didn't expect Chen Muwu to dare to quote a higher price.

This next time, if you don't scold him as the Shylock in "The Merchant of Venice", it can be regarded as the mercy of these physicists here.

"Our school will order one first, and after today's meeting, I will send a telegram to the United States to ask if Harvard, the University of California, and Princeton need it."

Why doesn't this person play cards according to the routine?

Planck followed the prestige and found that the seat behind him was Compton of the University of Chicago, who had come to the meeting in his place.

Americans, and hated Americans again!

Because they won the world war, it was not enough for them to continuously suck blood in Germany, and now they actually jumped out and ruined their own good deeds!
