As soon as they met, Yan Keats made this request to visit the particle accelerator laboratory.

But this request is not too much at all, because not long ago, Chen Muwu was also thinking about whether he should help build one in China, and now he has met his compatriots in his hometown, so he naturally agreed to Yan Keats's request.

"Of course, Brother Hua Ting, even if you don't mention this matter, I have exactly this intention. After all, the particle accelerator is the only recent experiment that Cavendish Labs has been able to get its hands on, and it is sure to be a good treat for the guests who visit here.

"After all, didn't the overlord of Western Chu say back then that wealth and nobility do not return to their hometowns, such as embroidering clothes at night. I finally came from my hometown to walk together, and I must show it in front of him. ”

Chen Muwu invisibly gave Yan Keats a step, asking him not to think that he had just made an unreasonable request.

On the way out of the Cavendish laboratory and on the way to the particle accelerator laboratory, the two men were still discussing the big guy who had offered 8,000 pounds to the outside world.

"I heard Professor de Broglie say that at the Physicists' Congress in Italy this spring, you presented for the first time to physicists from all over the world the world's most advanced particle acceleration machine.

He said that Professor Compton from the University of Chicago in the United States had ordered one and said that he would help ask other universities in the United States if they were willing to order the machine.

"Professor de Broglie said that he had also contacted you privately at that time, and wanted to buy one for the University of Paris, firstly, so that France could also have the most advanced equipment in the world, and secondly, he also wanted to help this good friend.

"But Professor de Broglie didn't understand why you would refuse his request to buy.

"Then there is Frederick and Irena, who have just returned from a visit to the UK, and they both came to Cambridge University to see the particle accelerator, and they also praised the machine, but also received your objections, saying that the machine is very expensive, and the current situation in the Cavendish laboratory is not interested, so they should carefully consider introducing it.

"So Dr. Chen, I want to know what is the real situation of this particle accelerator that you built?

"Why do you keep resisting the installation of particle accelerators in France? Is it necessary for this machine to be introduced into our own country? ”

Although Yan Keats's tone was very calm, the questions he raised were very sharp, and basically every question was something that Chen Muwu did not want to face.

Why do you refuse requests from close friends and relatives?

Why don't you even want the money that comes to your door?

Of course, he wanted to invite Marie Curie's family to Sweden!

Chen Muwu's idea is of course good, but there are variables.

Even if Marie Curie hadn't listened to de Broglie, who had returned from Italy in March, she would have listened carefully and thought about the words of the little Curie, as a family member.

What if Marie Curie really listened and thought it was necessary to build a particle accelerator, and asked for land with the University of Paris, and decided to add a new experimental instrument to the Radium Institute as well?

Chen Muwu had promised before, saying that after the particle accelerator was successfully developed, he would give Marie Curie a gift.

At that time, he also jokingly said that in their hometown, this thing is called a dowry, which is an indispensable part of the process before marrying a daughter-in-law.

If Marie Curie really wanted a particle accelerator, Chen Muwu was not worried about the few small money, but was afraid that this sudden incident would disrupt his previous plan.

It seems that the construction of a cyclotron in that school in Sweden has to be put on the agenda.

Otherwise, they simply waited for this year's Solvay Conference to finish and did not return to the UK, but continued north to Sweden.

It was said that he accepted the invitation of the Crown Prince of Sweden to attend this year's Nobel Prize ceremony, and by the way, he met with Prince Gustav to discuss the construction of a cyclotron in Stockholm.

At that time, his teacher Rutherford also returned to Europe from New Zealand, and after the Solvay Conference, he was able to return to the Cavendish Laboratory to preside over the day-to-day research work, and he could also step down as acting director.

As long as the cyclotron project is approved, then if Marie Curie asks for an electrostatic particle accelerator from her, Chen Muwu can use a more advanced and advanced machine in Stockholm to divert the attention of his future mother-in-law.

This impromptu idea, which is not yet perfect, can be regarded as a patch for the changes brought to de Broglie and the Junior Curie.

But Chen Muwu's mind must not be able to tell Yan Keats and Pan, but fortunately, the latter asked more than this question.

So Chen Muwu chose to ignore the first few questions he asked, and instead specifically answered the last one.

"Absolutely! Maybe it's a coincidence in the dark, Brother Hua Ting, before you arrived at Cambridge University, I was thinking about this question, should you install a particle accelerator in China? If so, which university or institution should I choose?

"Since you also brought up this matter today, then we might as well discuss it together."

As they spoke, the two of them had already walked from the Cavendish laboratory to the gate of the particle accelerator laboratory.

"Here we are, the particle accelerator is here."

Chen Muwu took out the key to open the door and invited Yan Kates into the preparation room of the laboratory.

"Awesome, Dr. Chen, you've built an amazing guy. Is this big round guy where the particles are accelerated? ”

"No, no, no, it's just an electrode. The place where the particle really accelerates is the long orbit next to it.

“……”

Chen Muwu began to act like a tour guide again, giving a brief explanation to Yan Keats, who came here to visit.

However, his explanation is only a superficial taste, and now he can't change into an electrostatic isolation suit, go to the machine in person, turn it on, and demonstrate it to Yan Keats.

"I now finally know why Frederick came back to France with all the praise for the machine.

"Whatever experiments this machine can do, it's just sitting here like a beautiful work of physics. Especially this large, almost spherical electrode. If there is one in our country, it will definitely attract more young people to devote themselves to the study of physics. ”

Yan Keats sighed for a long time, and finally returned to the question at the beginning.

"Brother Hua Ting, you returned to China after getting your doctorate this time, but did you receive an invitation to teach at any university?"

Even if Yan Keats will be the director of the Institute of Physics of the Shao Research Institute in the future, he will not be able to be the current one, because neither the Academia Sinica nor the Shao Research Institute have yet to be established.

So Chen Muwu raised this question, he wanted to know which university Yan Kici went to after returning to China, is it Shao Da? Great? Or is it a private school in the sea?

"Brother Hanchen, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I returned to China this time, mainly to go home and get married. I haven't thought about teaching at a university yet. ”

"Congratulations, congratulations to Brother Huating."

Yan Keats and Chen Muwu are about the same age, and they are both about to get married.

Chen Muwu continued to ask: "However, you said that you didn't consider teaching at the university, what is the matter?" ”

"If I have the chance, I would like to go back to Europe to study physics after I get married.

"At the University of Paris, I studied the piezoelectric problem of crystals with Professor Fabry, which was of course an important branch of physics,—— at least when I studied abroad in 1923.

"But in the past few years of studying abroad, I have experienced Dr. Chen, who has single-handedly created a new discipline in Europe, and can also carry forward this new discipline called quantum mechanics in a short period of time.

"I've only read a few papers in journals about quantum mechanics and reflexivity, and things in atoms, and I have a brief understanding of them, but I don't have a deep understanding at all. If I have the chance, I would like to come back to Europe and study this new discipline that you have proposed, Dr. Chen. ”

In the original time and space, after Yan Kici got married in 1927, he was able to return to France to study for the second time, and he accidentally received a study abroad fund from a certain organization.

Chen Muwu was not sure if he would encounter some variables when he went back this time, so he simply sent an invitation directly to Yan Keats.

"Brother Hua Ting, if you don't dislike it, after you get married, would you like to take your wife to Cambridge University and to Cavendish Laboratory?"

Why Shi Ru Oppenheimer left one after another, and Chen Muwu arranged for another Yan Keats to come to Cambridge University, there should be no problem.

And if you can really build an electrostatic particle accelerator in China, then Yan Keats is still a good candidate.

It takes a long time to return to China from the UK, and it is impossible for him to let Zhao Zhongyao waste a lot of time on the round-trip journey in order to install a particle accelerator in China.

If Yan Keats has to study abroad for the second time and has to return to China sooner or later, he is just asked to install a particle accelerator in China.

It is best to install the accelerator in Xiyu, Sichuan-Chongqing or Kunshu, of course, even if it is installed in Shaoping, there is no problem.

Chen Muwu was not at all worried that he would get in the way, and after the outbreak of the war, he would occupy and use the machine, or simply dismantle the machine and transport it back to Imperial University in Tokyo.

Because the first is that the actual value of this particle accelerator is not high, even if it is lost, it is not distressing.

Second, by that time, this one-million-volt particle accelerator had long since become an obsolete product.

Maybe the Imperial University in Tokyo and Kyoto has already spent a lot of money to buy accelerators from the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University, and they have copied an unknown number of them.

All in all, the electrostatic particle accelerator can only be regarded as an experimental product that is simple to build and less expensive, and the real big killer is the cyclotron that Chen Muwu is about to build in Stockholm.

In the original time and space, the world's first cyclotron was established by Ernest Lawrence of the United States in 1932, so the United States became the first country in the world to establish a cyclotron alone and make it operate successfully.

The second country to independently build and operate a cyclotron is not the United Kingdom, which is part of the Cavendish Laboratory, but Ben, on the Pacific coast of the Far East.

In 1937, five years after Lawrence's success, Yoshio Nishina also succeeded in building a cyclotron at his own Institute of Physics and Chemistry.

This was more than a year before the Cavendish Laboratory's cyclotron, which was donated by Lord Austin and cost £250,000 to build.

What's more, Ben's cyclotron was a 60-inch behemoth, while the Cavendish lab spent a lot of money to build it was only 36 inches.

Not only that, but in the second year after I built the cyclotron, Yoshio Nishina also built an isotope separator.

These two machines occupy a very important position in the process of hand-rubbing mushroom eggs.

Because these machines were built very early, and the intelligence showed that there were probably uranium mines on the peninsula, Ben's War Department had great confidence that it could build a mass killing weapon that could use nuclear fission to produce huge energy.

At the same time, Yoshio Nishina transferred the cyclotron and isotope separator to the army, starting his "Ren Project".

In 1945, after the surrender of Japan and the arrival of the five-star Emperor MacArthur on the island, Yoshio Nishina was given permission to continue using cyclotrons for scientific research.

But this approval was changed overnight, and within a month, a higher order came from Washington, telling the garrison to destroy all the cyclotrons in the entire territory, gather them together, and throw them to the bottom of the sea in Tokyo Bay.

It can be seen that cyclotrons are much more advanced than electrostatic particle accelerators, and the harm of falling into my hands is also much greater.

Chen Muwu is even considering whether the cyclotron to be built in Stockholm in the future should be sneaky, do not publish papers or attend conferences, and delay this achievement for as long as it can.

Yan Keats's original plan for this trip to Cambridge was just to come to the UK to meet Chen Muwu before returning to China to get married, and to learn about the specific situation of this particle accelerator.

Unexpectedly, after meeting, he actually received an unexpected joy, Chen Muwu actually threw out an olive branch and invited himself to study in Cavendish Laboratory again after marriage.

In the face of such a big gift sent to the door, if you don't accept it, it will be absolutely foolish, Yan Keats hurriedly agreed to Chen Muwu's kindness.
