Speaking of telegraphs, Chen Muwu suddenly remembered that although the telegraph paper system that Como promised Bohr to create in Italy had already had a first version, it had never been tested, let alone put into use.

Even Bohr's proposal to let the Cavendish laboratory set up a separate telegraph sending and receiving device, and all future telegraph exchanges will no longer go through the Cambridgeshire telegraph office, but directly from the laboratory to send and receive translating telegrams, Chen Muwu, who returned to England, has not had time to turn it into a reality.

To be honest, the system of formulas he devised with Bohr was not very similar to that of the Cavendish laboratory.

Every time a laboratory makes an experiment, in order to publish the results of the experiment, it needs to have a lot of data and pictures.

Sending data by telegraph is fine, but it just makes the workload much higher, and there is no great difficulty.

But with telegrams, there is no way to send pictures at all.

Although the fax was invented a long time ago,—— fax was invented decades earlier than the invention of the telephone, and only a little later than the telegraph,—— but it was only invented.

For a variety of reasons, it has been more than 80 years since the invention of fax, but in terms of practicality, it is basically zero, and it is occasionally used in the news industry to transmit newspaper photos, and it is also used by meteorological departments to transmit weather maps.

If you use the current fax to transmit pictures of physics experiments, it will take a long time to transmit, and the result will only be an outrageous image with low definition.

Instead of faxing, it is better to print the paper directly and send it by mail.

Although this method takes a little longer in terms of time, it may be clear to the other party after reading the paper, and will not be suspicious because the image is not clear.

If Bohr conceived and designed this system of telegraph paper formulas is really installed in the Cavendish laboratory, it will only play a role in allowing the Copenhagen side to quickly get in touch with Chen Muwu and exchange information on theoretical physics.

In the entire laboratory, while doing experiments and also studying theoretical physics, there are only Chen Muwu, and a handful of people around him, such as Dirac.

Not to mention whether this telegraph will become a situation for private use by the bus after it is installed.

Chen Muwu felt that he must not invite this machine into the Cavendish laboratory when he was acting as the director of the laboratory.

In that case, it is easy to turn into Director Chen using his power for personal gain, and spending the laboratory's funds to install a telegraph for the convenience of his own communication.

——Although many of the funds in the laboratory were brought over by Dr. Chen by his own talent and communication.

But if Rutherford had returned to Cavendish Laboratories from New Zealand and had to arm Chen Mu with this telegraph, then things would have gone in a different direction.

Chen Muwu is Rutherford's confidant and favorite apprentice, when a teacher can't bear to see his students suffer, what's wrong with installing a machine for him?

can only be aggrieved in Copenhagen impatiently waiting for Chen Muwu to send him a paper on the master Gobble, only when Rutherford returns to Cambridge, when will Chen Muwu install this machine.

Before that, even if he had made some theoretical research, he would not have gone to the Cambridgeshire telegraph office and paid out of his own pocket to send a telegram to Bohr.

- The sky-high telegraph fee, Chen Muwu took out the pain of his flesh.

From the hands of the superintendent of Trinity College, Chen Muwu looked at the address on it and found that it was not from Denmark in Northern Europe, that is, it should not be Bohr urging him.

The telegram came from Paris, France, on the other side of the English Channel, not the Sorbonne where his good friend de Broglie worked, the Institute of Radium of the University of Paris, and the radiological laboratory run by Chen Muwu's future mother-in-law, Marie Curie.

This made him immediately raise the importance of this telegram to the highest level.

Chen Muwu returned to his room at Trinity College, not to say that he was burning incense and fasting, bathing and changing clothes, but he also opened the telegram envelope respectfully.

What was written on the telegram was very simple, and it was not too difficult for Chen Muwu to accept.

Marie Curie said that her eldest daughter, Irena and son-in-law Frederick, would be leaving Paris for London, England in a few days, and the couple, who had just been married, wanted to make up for their honeymoon.

Well, now it's okay, Chen Muwu, who has just returned from London, looks like he's going back to London again.

It is natural to go to London to receive my sister and brother-in-law, and there is no problem, but Chen Muwu always feels that Irena and Frederick, a husband and wife, come to the UK is definitely not just a honeymoon.

Otherwise, why didn't they spend their honeymoon early or late, but they waited until the Chen family arrived in the UK to suddenly have this plan.

Chen Muwu felt that the visit of the little Curie couple this time was more like a return visit to the Curie family visited by the eldest brother Chen Muqiao a few years ago.

By the way, the two families also got together to discuss various matters related to Chen Muwu and Eve's marriage next year.

In the next few days, Chen Muwu communicated with Marie Curie by telegram several times, and it was considered that the date of Irena and their arrival in England and the specific ferry schedule were determined.

After leaving the telegraph office, he went straight to the train station in the suburbs, and booked a ticket to London a day earlier than the little Curie.

Running around every day, whether it is from Cambridge University to a train station outside Cambridgeshire, or from Cambridge Railway Station to London, Chen Muwu feels more and more that he also has the need to buy a car.

I don't know if there is any tradition when they get married in France, whether their mother's family will marry a car or something.

While dreaming of his spring and autumn season, Chen Muwu seized the last few days he stayed at Cambridge University to help his colleagues who were going to do experiments to operate particle accelerators.

Cockcroft and Zhao Zhongyao are one to the west and the other to the east, and after the two of them leave the UK, they will not be able to come back in a while.

Chen Muwu is also thinking about whether to continue to do this himself, or find an opportunity to hold a training class in the laboratory, first cultivate a group of people who are interested in doing experiments on their own, and then liberate himself.

If you can't do it, you should teach Capitsa and Blackett first, and start with these two closest friends.

Unlike the ferry tickets from the UK to China, which need to be booked several months or even half a year in advance, the car and ship capacity between the UK and France is very sufficient.

So Chen Muwu didn't stay in Cambridge for a few days, so he returned to London early again and lived in his own home.

Seeing her son again so soon, Mrs. Chen's first reaction was not joy, but worry.

She called Chen Muwu to her side, patiently instructed her for a long time, and told her youngest son not to worry about himself, and to run home from his work unit in three days, especially now that he has become an official in his laboratory, he can't leave his post as he wants, and he has to take on the responsibility of being an official.

Yes, in Mrs. Chen, Chen Muwu has become a negative example of dereliction of duty and abuse of power for personal gain.

In order to prevent the misunderstanding from deepening, he had to find a space to speak and tell the reason why he returned to London this time.

Hearing that her in-laws' daughter and son-in-law were coming to the UK, Mrs. Chen immediately paid attention to it.

She didn't care about criticizing her youngest son who "left" his job without authorization, but instructed the eldest son and the younger son to clean the room quickly, buy items, and wash the dust for the mother's family who "came from afar" and had never met, and did her best to be a landlord.

- Although the whole family has only been in the UK for a short time.

After arriving in the UK, the Chen family no longer had a lot of housekeepers and servants as they did when they were in the sea, and many of them still followed a more traditional concept and were unwilling to follow the owner across the ocean and go to a foreign country.

The Chen family didn't force it, only a few people were left to watch the house in the sea, and the rest was to pay a severance pay heavily, so everyone could get together and disperse.

Although there are two or three trustworthy old people who have lived together for decades who have followed them to the UK, the manpower is still much smaller than when they were in China, and many things need to be done by themselves, such as shopping for groceries and other things that need to communicate with people and speak English.

Chen Muqiao followed his younger brother, and on the way to buy vegetables, he kept praising Chen Muwu for keeping the Chen family away from the trouble of war again, and leaving Shanghai and Europe a few months in advance.

At the same time, he also expressed his concern about the chaotic situation in the country, this kind of artillery fire is full of bullet marks, and I don't know when it will be the end, whether the newly inaugurated southern government will be able to turn the situation that the northern government has been worse for more than ten years, expel the foreigners who are powerful on the Chinese soil, and establish a new country that makes the Chinese people proud.

Chen Muwu smiled and didn't speak, he didn't tell his eldest brother after all, and optimistically estimated that the whole family would have to live in Europe for more than 20 years.

Irena and Frederick's trip to England went without error, Chen Muwu picked up the couple from Paris at Victoria Station according to the scheduled time of the train arrival, and accompanied the two of them to their home.

After the Chen family moved from Qihai to London, a big benefit for Chen Muwu was that after Zhu Zhaoxin went to Italy as a minister, and the Beiyang government had no funds for these embassies and consulates abroad, he was finally able to feast and eat authentic Chinese food.

Even Irena and Frederick were full of praise for the Chen family's food, saying that it was much better than the Chinese food they ate at the Duke de Broglie's house in Paris, France.

There are three members of the Chen family and two members of the Curie family, and among these five people, there are no one else who can speak Chinese and half-hung French at the same time, except for Chen Muwu.

So the acting director of the Cavendish laboratory started to work as a translator in his own home, and he couldn't have any resentment.

In this way, Irena and Frederick lived in Chen's house for I don't know how many days, anyway, they just ate and talked every day, talked and slept, slept and ate, and what was supposed to be a good honeymoon in the UK became a honeymoon in London.

In London, the range of activities does not exceed a circular area with a radius of two miles from the center of the Chen family.

The old lady of the Chen family and his eldest brother Chen Muqiao can always find a variety of topics to talk about with this pair of foreign relatives, and the same is true of the little Curie couple.

Chen Muwu felt that he couldn't let things continue like this, so he found an opportunity and quietly asked Irena and Frederick if he wanted to talk about anything other than his own home except for London,—— but he was embarrassed to ,—— if there were any other places he wanted to go in the UK.

"Chen, we really have a place we want to go, but your family is too enthusiastic, so we are embarrassed to say it."

Irena had a somewhat embarrassed look on her face.

Hearing the other party's affirmative answer, Chen Muwu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He asked eagerly, "What place?" ”

"Cambridge University, when we were about to leave France, my mother told us to go to your place and see how the particle accelerator works."

Chen Muwu couldn't wait to slap himself in the face, why do you say that I am idle and have nothing to do?

Well, Cavendish Labs can't go now, and their expensive particle accelerator has to be displayed to the public.

Chen Muwu was a little resistant to let Irena and Frederick go to see the particle accelerator, not because he even wanted to make money for his own family, and sold the particle accelerator to the Radium Institute of the University of Paris at a high price like he did with other universities and research institutes.

At best, the University of Paris, which is at odds with the University, may not allocate this amount of money to allow the Institute of Radium to buy a particle accelerator as it wishes.

But if the Radium Research Institute raised enough funds through various methods to buy the particle accelerator back, for Chen Muwu, the joy of making another sum of money would not appear on his face, but on the contrary, it would still be a thorny big trouble.

When he was at Marie Curie's house in Paris, he once patted his chest and promised to give the mother-in-law a particle accelerator, but he did not say where to put the machine.

Chen Muwu said at that time that the particle accelerator covers a large area, and the University of Paris does not even give funds for running the school, let alone set aside a separate area for them to build the accelerator.

In his heart, he also hoped to see an accelerator with a higher accelerating voltage in Stockholm, and with this precious killer, Marie Curie's family willingly moved from France to Sweden.

But now, if they take Irena and Frederick to visit the particle accelerator at the Cavendish laboratory, let them see that the machine does not take up a lot of space, and when they return to France, they will explain to Marie Curie about their trip to Cambridge University.

If the Radium Research Institute wants to buy from the Cavendish Laboratory or start building it after this, either of these two situations is what Chen Muwu does not want to see.

This time, he kind of shot himself in the foot.
