It didn't take long for the Cavendish lab to receive telegrams from several well-known private and public universities in the United States, as well as deposits for particle accelerators through bank transfers.

It seems that Professor Compton, who came to Italy to attend the conference, did Cambridge University a great favor this time.

In addition, it is estimated that it has something to do with Zhao Zhongyao and Cockcroft's article in the German "Annals of Physics".

The ability to artificially accelerate charged particles is still very shocking to physicists in our time.

Previously, if you wanted to bombard, you had to use a natural radioactive particle source, collimate it, and then add a magnetic field to separate the alpha particle beam inside.

Not to mention that the preparation work before the experiment is already troublesome, just this alpha particle, there are many shortcomings and shortcomings.

It relies on natural radioactive sources, so it is not possible to control the intensity and number of its emissions.

And because of the acceleration of the electric field, the alpha particles at the base of the bombardment cannot have a higher energy.

But even with its many shortcomings, alpha particles are still the only kind of particles that scientists have conducted bombardment experiments for a long time.

But now that all of a sudden there are better, easier-to-use and more possibilities, who can do physics experiments not be tempted?

And these universities in the United States also have an advantage, that is, no matter whether this thing is useful or not, and whether the machine will be used after buying it back home, but it must be bought back first, even if it is not done and placed on campus, it is regarded as an ornament, and it can be bragged to others.

This is the same as when those local tyrants and nouveau riche built their villas, no matter whether they could play or not, they always had to put a grand piano that could hold up the lid in the hall on the first floor of the house to highlight their elegant temperament.

- The life of a rich man is so unpretentious and boring.

Chen Muwu, who received the telegram, was happy, and Chadwick, who learned the news, was even happier.

His mind is now full of how much money a machine can make; How much money can be made by adding so many units together; If you sell a few more machines, you can save enough money to build a new laboratory......

When Director Rutherford, who had been complaining about his age, returned from New Zealand, he was a big surprise.

A few days ago, I heard Chen Muwu say that he planned to sell a few particle accelerators to various universities in Europe at a lower price, but Chadwick was still a little undecided at that time, afraid that if he made such a move, he would lose his wife and lose his army.

But these days, when I see the telegram orders coming to Cambridge University like snowflakes, even Chadwick, who has always been serious, has always unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, and he can't control it.

Last time, he was cautious and skeptical of Chen Muwu's suggestion, but these orders gave him courage, and Chadwick even began to urge Chen Muwu to sell the particle accelerator to Europe quickly, even if the price was reduced, it didn't matter, as long as he could make money.

As for the fact that there is one of the largest countries in Eastern Europe, which has been blockaded by the Western powers because of ideological differences?

Wouldn't it be great to sell such an advanced and high-end thing as a particle accelerator?

Please, that's none of our business, because science knows no borders.

Moreover, Germany, which had previously refused to allow its scientists to participate in international conferences, has now been readmitted to the international order.

So why can't you sell the particle accelerator to Sulian?

In the recent international academic conferences, Su Lian has been sending representatives to participate.

However, because of some messy things, Chadwick's desire to sell the particle accelerator to Su Lian has all kinds of unexpected problems after it is put into action.

In the coming May, the police of Scotland Yard in London, the capital of the United Kingdom, first broke into the office of Su Lien's trade delegation in the United Kingdom, and conducted various searches for no reason, in an attempt to find the list of spies stationed in Britain by Su Lien, as well as evidence that they supported the workers' strike last year and wanted to overthrow the British royal family and overthrow the British government.

Then, on the 24th of this month, the British government announced the severance of diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union and the abrogation of the "Anglo-Soviet Trade Agreement" signed in 1921, completely severing diplomatic and economic exchanges between the two countries.

This time, however, the British government miscalculated, and they miscalculated their influence, believing that the British were still the same as they had been decades ago, a Victorian empire with control over the globe.

The British felt that as long as they raised their arms and raised the banner of "anti-Soviet and anti-G", then his little brother all over the world, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United States and Austria, would follow suit and respond to him, severing diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union one after another, encircling and blocking him, and finally bringing the country to ruin, avenging the family of his cousin who died in His Majesty the King of England.

As a result, various powers around the world have expressed their approval of Britain's "righteous act", but when it comes to the severance of diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union, they have all disappeared.

Not only that, but they also invited Su Lian to participate in the meeting of the League of Nations that year, which was a slap in the face of Britain.

The only major power that responded to the British initiative and was followed by the Soviet Union was in the Far East, but it was not the one with whom the Soviet Union had a territorial dispute, but the Chinese government in Beijing, which had a territorial dispute with the Soviet Union.

I don't know if it was influenced by the British, thinking that I could really wrestle with my neighbors in the north, or because Xiao Caozitou, who studied in Sulian, publicly issued a statement in the newspaper and scolded himself, so I finally decided to do it in a fit of anger.

What do you mean by that? A grain of ash in the times is a mountain when it falls on everyone's head.

Although the severance of diplomatic relations between Britain and the Soviet Union did not cause much change in the international order, it affected the Carvendish Laboratory's money-making plan to a certain extent.

The particle accelerators, which had already been built and were ready to be packed and sent to Leggrad, had to temporarily stop all the steps of delivery.

Time is money, if the University of Cambridge does not deliver this particle accelerator on time, then after learning the principle of the accelerator in detail and feeling that he has been pitted, the Germans are likely to reverse and imitate the Cambridge machine on the basis of the German model to sell to Su Lian's side to return blood.

Therefore, Chen Muwu and Chadwick found the Sulian people in the laboratory as soon as possible, and Kapitsa, who spoke very heavily in Sulian because of his status in the UK, asked him to quickly get in touch with China through his own channels and solve this matter.

Capitsa has been busy with marriage in recent times, often running between England and France.

Originally, it was nothing, except for the fatigue of the journey back and forth.

But since Britain broke off diplomatic relations with Su Lian, as a Su Lian person, he also began to eat melons.

On the one hand, because his identity is a relatively famous Su Lian who still remains in the UK, he began to be suspected and monitored by the British government and the police, in case he is also a spy planted by Su Lian in the highest British university.

But on the other hand, because of the academic achievements and prestige that Kapitsa had earned in England, the British also wanted to see if they could win over this Russian, who was born in Tsarist Russia and whose family was still a high-ranking official in Tsarist Russia, it was best to let him give up his Sulian identity and obtain a British nationality for my use.

So he has been in a lot of trouble lately, and after discussing things with Anna, he happily returned to England from Paris.

As a result, when he got off the boat in Dover and was queuing up to go through customs, he was told by the customs officer who had carefully checked Chen Muwuzai's luggage and told him that only by eating more beef could he be physically strong and "defeat the Germans", his passport was not recognized because of the severance of diplomatic relations between Britain and the Soviet Union.

The smile on Capitsa's face stopped abruptly at this moment, and he moved out of various identities, such as a doctor from Cambridge University, an academician of Trinity College, the head of the magnetic division of Cavendish Laboratory, etc., watching the British official opposite make and answer various calls without hurry, and was locked up in the small dark room of the customs for several hours before he was finally released.

Before leaving, Kapitsa also specially asked if he still needed to go through the same procedures as today if he went through customs in the future, and then was told by the other party that he still needed to do so.

Last winter, on a ship from Dover to France, Kapitsa was still laughing at Chen Muwu's embarrassment of being detained in a small black room at the Polish border customs because of a language barrier.

As a result, retribution did not come too quickly, and it was less than half a year before he experienced first-hand what it was like to be in this pain.

Moreover, Chen Muwu has only experienced it once, but he has to experience it once until the two countries establish diplomatic relations again.

But even so, Kapitsa did not choose to accept the British suggestion to renounce his Sulian nationality and become a British naturalized citizen, becoming a subject of His Majesty King George V.

The only time he had such thoughts was in Paris, France, when he asked Valerien Dovgarevsky, the plenipotentiary representative of Su Lian in France, what the process of marrying his girlfriend abroad was.

But because her girlfriend Anna was able to stay in France for a long time, she was not allowed by the Sulian government like Capitsa, and she got a Sulian passport, but a Nansen passport.

In 1921, the Sulian government announced the revocation of citizenship of Russians living abroad, and Anna, who had taken refuge in France because of the Russian Civil War, was among the Russians whose status had been revoked.

Therefore, when Anna and Kapitsa got acquainted, they should be regarded as stateless people, and they also got Nansen passports specially set up by the international community for these stateless "refugees".

The Sulian government does not recognize the nationality of these people, and naturally it will not recognize the legal validity of the Nansen passport.

Kapitsa's request to marry Anna was much to Dovgarevsky's embarrassment, as he had never dealt with the situation before.

So the reply from the Sulian office in France was that they could not get married in Paris unless Anna could obtain Sulian nationality or the nationality of another country.

But when Kapitsa asked how this "refugee" from the Tsarist period could reasonably and legally become a citizen of Sulen, Dovgalevsky was again vague.

Rao is a Kapitsa who attaches great importance to this marriage, and he can't stand the other party's attitude anymore.

After receiving an answer, Kapitsa, who was in Dovgarevsky's office, made a request to the plenipotentiary to borrow the telephone from the office.

The other party thought that Kapitsa might want to contact his fiancée to discuss what to do after being rejected, so he agreed to Kapitsa's request.

As a result, Capitsa called directly to the British Embassy in France and asked his alumni at Trinity College, the British ambassador, the Marquess Robert Crewe-Milnice, a Sulian and his fiancée, a Nansen passport holder, what conditions were required to become British citizenship and what the process was.

This act of NTR in front of the plenipotentiary of Su Lian did not anger Dovgarevsky, but made the other party realize the seriousness of the matter.

The day after Kapitsa's visit to the Sulian embassy in France, the embassy staff called Kapitsa again and asked him to bring his fiancée's photo to the embassy to collect her Sulian passport.

Since then, Kapitsa has never been on the verge of becoming a British citizen.

Listening to Kapitsa complain about how torturous he was in the small dark room of the customs, Chen Muwu felt amused, and at the same time remembered such an incident that happened when he got married in the future.

However, he could not persuade Kapitsa, a patriot, to give up his Sulian nationality and join the United Kingdom, so he could only say that if he let Kapitsa, like himself, obtain an identity in the Royal Society or other royal organizations, he would not suffer these things in the British customs in the future.

Unlike Chen Muwu, who has a side job in astronomy and chemistry, he is just a pure physics researcher.

If you want to join the more important associations in the UK, there is only one Royal Society.

Since then, the people of Cavendish Laboratories have recommended Kapitsa in the annual selection of new members of the Royal Society.

In order to increase the weight of his selection, Chen Muwu even went to London to talk about old Prague, and asked the director of the Royal Research Institute to put the name of Kapitsa behind the position of director of the Mondstadt Laboratory that he did not want.

I have to say that there are people in the DPRK who are good officials, Rutherford is the president of the Royal Society, and everyone in Cavendis's laboratory is the backbone of the Royal Society.

Kapitsa was recommended from 1927, and by New Year's Day 1929 he had become a new member of the Royal Society, and he was never hindered by officials when he passed through customs.

However, it was also in this year that the Labour government, which had returned to power, restored diplomatic relations with Su Lien, who had broken off diplomatic relations for two years.

Kapitsa went around in a great circle, but the result was useless, exactly the same as doing nothing.
