The conversation with Wang Jingqi unconsciously passed a long time.

So much so that the upcoming dinner in the restaurant of Solvay Palace has already prepared everything, except for one of the protagonists of today's dinner, and also to meet the guests in the reception room.

It's the equivalent of attending a wedding banquet, and the guests are already full.

As a result, the bride was unable to come to the wedding site because of traffic jams on the road.

Chen Muwu frowned and lowered his head into the dining room of Solvay Palace, and then suddenly found that the whole room was basically looking at him, as well as Zhao Zhongyao behind him.

He hurriedly apologized to the physicists present for the two people: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, just now the Chinese minister in Belgium came to visit and congratulate Dr. Zhao Zhongyao on winning the Nobel Prize in Physics. ”

At the long table in the dining room, there are not many vacant seats, and the one that is obvious next to Cockcroft is definitely the place where Zhao Zhongyao, the other protagonist today, is sitting.

After observing the situation in the venue, Chen Muwu walked directly to the other side and sat next to the teacher Rutherford.

"Chen, what just happened? Why do I see the sullen expression on your face? ”

As soon as he sat down, Rutherford began to care about his precious student who had just brought another Nobel Prize to the Cavendish laboratory.

"It's nothing," Chen Muwu shook his head, the ins and outs of this were not clear in a few words, and today was a happy occasion, so he couldn't let Rutherford get angry with him, "Hey, it's just a group of bureaucratic people, and I'm not very suitable for dealing with officials." The British government doesn't like me very much, and it seems that the Chinese government may not like me much in the future. ”

Chen Muwu laughed at himself as if jokingly.

"How is that possible? Didn't you win the Nobel Prize in Physics and the Olympic gold medal, in my heart you must belong to the kind of national treasure in China, how could they not like you? ”

"Teacher, today is the celebration dinner after Dr. Zhao and Dr. Cockcroft won the Nobel Prize in Physics, and you have to give a speech, I don't want to spoil your good mood before that. Please don't worry about this matter, I have my own measure. ”

Since Chen Muwu was reluctant to say, Rutherford did not continue to ask in an interesting way.

But this matter did not follow in his mind, and Rutherford decided to use his influence to speak for his student when he was interviewed by reporters after attending the Sulvay Conference and returning to England.

Chen Muwu was wronged in China, and Rutherford couldn't control it.

But if he wants to be wronged on the British side, Rutherford must stand up and speak.

The Chinese people hate Chen Muwu, and Chen Muwu can choose to live in Europe all the time and not return to China.

But if the British also hate Dr. Chen, then Dr. Chen is not a masochist, and he can naturally stay away from England as far away from China as he is to continue his scientific research in France, Germany and even the United States.

Don't let these ignorant and arrogant Brits force the world's most talented young people out of the Cavendish lab.

Rutherford forgot where he had heard of George Bernard Shaw, the great Nobel Prize-winning playwright in Ireland, saying that the British had always been hypocritical and sanctimonious:

These Englishmen do not have a single thing that is good, nor a single thing that is bad; But you can't find a single thing that has done bad for the British. He is very open-minded. He wants to beat you, he advocates patriotism to come; He wants to rob you, and he proposes a business-like doctrine; He wants to enslave you, and he proposes the great principles of imperialism; He wants to bully you, and he has the great truth of heroism; He supports the king and has the doctrine of loyalty and patriotism, but he wants to cut off the king's head, and there is a republican principle. His motto is responsibility; However, he never forgets that when a country's responsibilities and interests conflict, it is terrible.

The things that the master and apprentice were thinking about in their hearts, the Nobel Prize celebration dinner was still held on time.

It is not necessarily that the moon is rounder in foreign countries, and in this so-called social occasion, it is not much different at home and abroad.

The first is still to give a toast, as was done this morning at the opening of the Solvay Conference, when the President of the First Post Conference, Professor Lorenz, stood up to make a toast.

After Lorenz finished speaking, it was Zhao Zhongyao and Cockcroft's turn to stand up one after another and thank everyone for their congratulations.

Not a few physicists from the United States crossed the Atlantic to attend the Solvay Conference, but because it was the first time to return to an international academic conference, many people came from Germany.

In particular, the University of Berlin, where Planck and Pauli worked, and Professor Jofy of the Sulen Academy of Sciences, who came from Sullen Legrad, had met with Zhao Zhongyao, who was the first to take the stage to thank him, not long before the meeting.

At that time, Zhao Zhongyao's identity was just an installer who came to install a particle accelerator, and it was just a particle accelerator accessory that the University of Berlin and the Sulian Academy of Sciences ordered a particle accelerator from Cavendi's laboratory, delivered materials to the site, and stayed here to install them.

Unexpectedly, only a few months later, Zhao Zhongyao's identity changed and became a Nobel Prize winner in physics.

A veteran Nobel laureate like Planck, who has seen many big faces, can still see Zhao Zhongyao's changes that are too big before and after.

However, for the younger generation of Pauli, he is still in the stage of "spring breeze and horseshoe disease" when he has just become a professor at the University of Berlin.

That's why he still looks down on Chen Muwu, who is still a doctor, and yesterday he was forced to talk to that part, and for the sake of face, he gritted his teeth and agreed to the other party to raise the gambling contract to 8,000 pounds.

Zhao Zhongyao is the same age as Pauli, but the former has already won the Nobel Prize, and he is only complacent about a professorship at the University of Berlin.

The key point is that in his speech before the dinner, Zhao Zhongyao repeatedly mentioned that the person he wanted to thank was Chen Muwu, saying that he was able to achieve today's results under the guidance of Dr. Chen.

Cockcroft, who spoke immediately after him, mentioned similar content and views in his words as Zhao Zhongyao, and also thanked Dr. Chen for taking him to the Nobel Prize.

In just three or four years, Chen Muwu not only won the Nobel Prize himself, but also guided others to win the Nobel Prize, which is the real reason why Pauli is jealous and a little angry.

Pauli is a smart man, even if he is very jealous of Chen Muwu, but in addition to being red, his brain has never stopped thinking.

Chen Muwu won the Nobel Prize not because of a certain experiment or theory, but because he made many new achievements in physics and other related disciplines in just over a year from 1923 to 1924.

Three years later, two students under Chen Muwu's guidance won the Nobel Prize after him.

This efficiency, throughout the past 30 years of the Nobel Prize, can not find a second one.

Chen Muwu must have a lot of ability, no wonder Heisenberg has been talking to people since he came back from Cambridge University, and he has constantly said good things for Chen Muwu.

Pauli muttered in his heart, shouldn't he continue to be an enemy of Chen Muwu, but should show favor to him?

Although Chen Muwu is a little arrogant, he is delicate and has done a lot of good things.

For example, the autographed photo of Chaplin he brought to himself, if he put himself in a different position and used his bearing, he would never be able to do this kind of thing.

Pauli is quite self-aware.

After all, this is Brussels, the capital of Belgium, where the Solvay Conference was held, not Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, where the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded.

This small celebration dinner did not last long, because the meeting will continue to be held tomorrow according to the agenda.

The dinner party had already ended around eight o'clock in the evening, and after dealing with the waves of people who had come to congratulate Rutherford and his Cavendish laboratory on their achievements, Chen Muwu, who stood up and prepared to leave the table, was thinking about what he should do tonight.

At this moment, a figure stuck to it like a shadow.

Before this person could speak, Chen Muwu had already guessed the identity of the person who came in his heart.

After he opened his mouth to speak German, it was completely in line with Chen Muwu's guess just now.

"Dr. Chen, it's still so early in you, and you have plenty of time tonight, why don't I go to your place as a guest and let's chat?"

"Absolutely, Professor Einstein."

Chen Muwu turned around, with his trademark smirk on his face:

"I heard from Mr. Wittgenstein that you asked him a few very tricky questions about physics, and he couldn't answer any of them.

"I'm curious what questions you've asked him, and I don't know if I can answer them. How about calling out Mr. Wittgenstein and let's look into your problem? ”

Einstein suddenly felt that Chen Muwu was smiling a little ill-willed.

"Dr. Chen, I don't think it's necessary. This is a purely physical discussion, and there are no philosophical issues involved. I'll be honest with you, when you were giving a presentation from the podium this morning, I had a very tormented discussion with him below.

"What is physical belongs to physics, and what is philosophical belongs to philosophy. From now on, I will never let the two be connected again. ”

"Coincidentally, I just heard someone say something similar to yours today, and Mr. Wittgenstein told me that he would never study physics or quantum mechanics again, and that it would be better to study philosophy with peace of mind."

Chen Muwu's words made Einstein feel a little embarrassed: "When I meet that young man tomorrow, I will personally apologize to him."

"But tomorrow's will be talked about tomorrow, can we go to you tonight? I still want to talk to you about some questions about quantum mechanics. As you just said, that Mr. Wittgenstein, I don't understand what I'm saying. ”

"Of course, of course," Chen Muwu nodded, "I will go and talk to Sir Rutherford about something first, so that in half an hour, Professor Einstein, I will be in my room on time for your arrival."

"Or you can just go to my side and wait, Dr. Dirac, who lives in the same room as me, is also quite accomplished in quantum mechanics."

"Are you sure he studied physics, not philosophy?"

Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, and Einstein had some snake shadows.

"Rest assured, Professor, Dirac is Professor Fowler's tall foot, and the only two people in Cavendis's lab who focus on theoretical physics. He could have received a scholarship from the British government to study at the University of Göttingen in your country, but for unknown reasons, he gave up his study abroad trip. ”

"You'd better not lie to me," Einstein said, skeptically, "and does he speak German?" ”

"This ......"

This question really stopped Chen Muwu.

Because he had to read some German physics literature and tried to submit articles to the German "Annals of Physics", Dirac learned German by himself during his years at Cambridge University.

Chen Muwu knew about this because Dirac had shown him the first draft of his paper in German, and hoped that Chen Muwu could correct his grammatical errors and send it to Planck for publication.

Later, Chen Muwu had other things to do—not because he was lazy—so he rejected Dirac's request and asked him to publish it in a British physics journal instead.

Chen Muwu knew that Dirac could write German, but he didn't know if he could speak German, and Einstein's question made him a little difficult.

He knew that Dirac came from a Swiss immigrant family, and that his father was a French professor, so speaking French would certainly not be a problem.

Einstein's second foreign language was not English, but the common aristocratic language of Europe.

When Langevin and de Broglie visited the physicists in Germany three years ago, they used French.

"Professor, I don't know how good his German is, if he is a dumb German who can only write but cannot speak. But between the two of you, I think it should be possible to communicate in French. ”

Einstein was still a little uneasy, feeling that Chen Muwu was still deceiving himself.

"Then you must go and come back as soon as you talk to Sir Rutherford, and if you don't come back to-night, I'll be in your room all the time."

"Back, back, back! Rest assured, I'll be there tonight, and soon, in less than half an hour! ”

Good guy, in "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", a poor scholar who reads alone in the temple at midnight will be accompanied by a fox who has practiced for hundreds of years and turned into a beauty.

How did he come to himself, and this beauty became a white-bearded old man, and he always wanted to point out his mistakes and point fingers at himself?
