123 Unexpected gifts

Spit and complain, but for the distinguished guests of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as well as Chen Muwu, who provided him with one idea after another to help him gain a firm foothold in front of the family, Little Marcus still responds.

He made a note of Chen's request to build another power plant to supply electricity to the Prince's College and its environs, and planned to contact the Stockholm city department when he returned to see if he could actually plan and build a coal-fired power plant nearby.

Chen Muwu asked Marcus Jr. another question, that is, where is the future physics laboratory.

Although he cares about the school's teaching facilities and the living environment of the students, Chen Muwu is also concerned about where those old, middle-aged and young physicists will be engaged in physics research after they are fooled into the school in the future.

Marcus Jr. pointed out the area that Chen Muwu cared about in front of the construction drawings, and even took him to the school's construction site for a field survey.

This is one of the many buildings that have been topped out in the entire Prince's College, and compared to the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University, the floor is higher, the area is larger, the use of technology is more modern, and the space in the building is several times larger.

In terms of appearance, it adheres to the Scandinavian minimalist style, and is not decorated with an architectural style that is more suitable for the overall architecture of Cambridge University like the Cavendish Laboratory, but it looks slightly exaggerated when it is taken out alone.

Marcus next to him introduced like a tour guide: "This physics laboratory building is a building specially instructed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be completed as soon as possible, and it must be completed before the official opening of the school next year, becoming the first batch of buildings of the Prince's College."

"Your Highness knows that you will be able to complete many experiments in Sweden, which is why you have made this request.

"So our construction workers have been working overtime for a while, and finally met the request made by His Highness.

"Now that the whole building has been topped out, only the glass has not been installed, and the interior decoration has not yet begun, but it will definitely be completed before the school officially opens next year.

"Dr. Chen, do you have any other comments or suggestions?"

While showing credit to himself, Marcus Jr. did not forget to bring up the praise of the Swedish crown prince in his words.

Chen Muwu felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really had a heart, and he really wanted to do something to improve the level of physics in his country.

"Well, great, I would like to thank Monsieur Wallenberg and the big family behind you for their help in the smooth construction of this school, and thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his interest in this matter.

"I'm not an architectural scholar, nor am I an urban planner. I don't have any comments on the layout of the whole school and the distribution of the various functional buildings.

"But I still have a lot of say in the lab in front of me.

"The soon-to-be-completed physics laboratory is larger and more spacious than the Cavendish laboratory at the University of Cambridge or the Radium Institute at the University of Paris, and the whole building is more imposing than the theoretical physics institute in neighboring Denmark."

Chen Muwu's level of speech is second only to his attainments in physics research.

"By the way, Monsieur Wallenberg, may I go inside this building and have a look? I came to Sweden early this time because I wanted to take the lead in some scientific research here. ”

"This ......"

Although I don't know how many times I have met Chen Muwu, the two of them are already very familiar with each other.

But after all, he was a distinguished guest from afar, and he suddenly raised this question, which made little Marcus unable to make up his mind for a while.

Chen Muwu hurriedly added with a smile: "I mainly want to find a suitable room and prepare to build an experimental instrument here."

"It just so happens that the school's construction team hasn't dispersed yet, and there are still forty or fifty days before Christmas, which should be enough to renovate a room according to my requirements, right?

"By the way, are there any hard hats? I'd like to go in and see it now. ”

Hard hats have been available for a long time, but workers on the construction site are reluctant to wear them, both now and in the future.

Little Marcus didn't know where to trick out of a trick to take out two of them, handed them to Chen Muwu, and buckled the other one on his head according to the gourd drawing, and then followed the former through the scaffolding erected at the door and walked into the door of the physics laboratory.

After Chen Muwu entered, he went straight to the basement, he felt that his cyclotron should be built in a better position as far as possible.

Because it is not a special-shaped building, the whole building is only four corners.

After some comparison, Chen Muwu selected the largest one from these four rooms, even to determine the location where the cyclotron needs to be installed in the future.

He explained to Marcus Jr., as well as the captain of the renovation team who had put down his work and came with him: "I want to decorate this place into a laboratory with good insulation, that is, whether it is on the floor, the wall or the ceiling, each of the six sides must be covered with several thick layers of mica sheets, and it must be highly insulated, and I hope to do it as soon as possible."

"After the decoration is completed, I will come to the acceptance, please trouble everyone."

Chen Muwu's requirements were not harsh for the construction team, at best, they were stupid and the owner put forward his own new ideas for the decoration design.

Moreover, this is not a home decoration, but a highly professional physics laboratory, and it is necessary to listen to and accept the opinions of professionals like Chen Muwu.

"No problem, we guarantee to complete the task as soon as possible with quality and quantity!"

The construction captain made a promise to Mr. Marcus Jr., of the Wallenberg family, to which his renovation company belongs, and to the Chinese guests who accompanied him.

"Thank you for your hard work, and when the renovation is over, I will give you more bonuses."

Chen Muwu also followed the official and made a wish.

Anyway, Marcus Jr. is not short of these money, and with a certain reward, the workers will be more energetic in doing things.

Sure enough, Marcus Jr. was unimpressed by the reward proposed by Chen Muwu, and nodded along with him: "Dr. Chen is right, please be conscientious." ”

After walking out of the laboratory building, Chen Muwu dusted off the dust on his clothes because of his visit to the construction site, and once again thanked Marcus Jr.

He also made another request, that is, it will take a long time for the power plant near the Prince's College to build a building or assemble the generator sets, and before that, he hopes to pull a special line from Stockholm's power grid to temporarily supply power to the first batch of buildings in the school, including the laboratory site that Chen Muwu himself has chosen.

The two of them returned from the construction site of the Prince's College to the hotel where their guests had been staying for some time.

Because the construction of the cyclotron was progressing and the laboratory had to wait for the insulating mica sheet to be laid before the next step could be carried out, Chen Muwu did not ask the other four people who had come to Stockholm from Brussels to start the construction plan immediately—which was certainly unrealistic——, but gave them a period of indefinite leave.

During this time, Irena and Frederick, who are still considered newlyweds, plan to take a walk around the city of Stockholm and the surrounding area, and continue to make up for their honeymoon.

However, Zhao Zhongyao and Cockcroft could not be as easy as the above couple, because the purpose of their visit to Stockholm was not only to build a cyclotron for Chen Muwu, but also to prepare the Nobel Prize acceptance speech, as well as various related precautions.

Chen Muwu asked Marcus Jr. to make an appointment for him to "meet" His Royal Highness the Prince, and then began his own work.

Just like when the Cavendish Laboratory built the electrostatic particle accelerator, Chen Muwu plans to assemble a model of the cyclotron by himself.

It's just that the latter is much more sophisticated than the former, and this time he can't afford Oppenheimer to spend less than half a pound on small bits and pieces like tin cans, silk, and electric motors, and assemble them together to get a model of the motor, but he has to draw a blueprint on paper and then build the corresponding model elements.

After drawing the blueprint, it is not impossible to place an order with the local factory in Stockholm, but Chen Muwu is a little worried about their work efficiency, so he still chooses to do it himself.

More than a month is said to be generous and generous, and the white horse is said to be over the gap, and the white horse must not be wasted.

The cyclotron model, which is similar to a real cyclotron, requires a particle source that emits particles in the center, followed by two D-boxes that provide an accelerating environment for the particles, and an electric and magnetic field that provide an energy source for acceleration and bind the particles to move in a circular motion.

After Chen Muwu drew the blueprint, he studied the matter with Zhao Zhongyao and Cockcroft.

The three of them finally decided to try out a model of a cyclotron with a radius of 15 centimeters.

The value of fifteen centimeters is not a whim of Chen Muwu, but is about the same as the length of six inches (about 15.24 centimeters) in imperial units.

Finally able to take charge of his own affairs, Chen Muwu will definitely give up the imperial unit, which is a big unit to convert, and throw himself into the arms of the international system of units, which is concise and easy to calculate.

Out of trust in Chen Muwu, the Englishman Cowcroft also did not object to Chen Muwu's proposal.

Metric units are indeed much more convenient to calculate than imperial units!

Trained as an engineer, he is the most hands-on of the trio.

So Cockcroft was responsible for the construction of the D-box, while Chen Muwu and Zhao Zhongyao were responsible for the electric and magnetic fields, and the other was responsible for the particle radiation source.

- They didn't have to make their own particle source in Stockholm for a model, they just needed to find radium or polonium, put it in a lead box, and use the alpha particles emitted from it.

A few days later, the couple returned to the residency after a tour in and around Stockholm, and the two of them joined the development of the cyclotron model.

And not long after their return, Chen Muwu received an invitation letter from the Swedish crown prince, inviting him to the Swedish royal palace as a guest.

In fact, after the notice of Marcus Jr., he finally learned that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Sweden had made a surprise visit to Sweden, and he had long wanted to meet this good friend who had not been seen for more than a year as soon as Chen Muwu came to Stockholm.

After years of preparation, his self-named Prince College is finally about to enter the next stage, and he must discuss with his partners how to run the school and make it run perfectly.

But at the end of the year, it's the busiest time of the year.

There are also a bunch of things in the royal family, such as deciding on next year's honours list.

Prince Gustav, although nominally the crown prince of Sweden, is also forty-five years old this year.

His royal father, His Majesty Gustav V, will turn 70 next year.

The Swedish royal family is considered an advanced royal family in today's Europe.

Gustav V lived until the end of World War II and the beginning of the Cold War, until his death in 1950 at the age of ninety-two.

And his son, Chen Muwu's good friend, the current Swedish crown prince Prince Gustav, was sixty-eight years old when he ascended the throne, and then sat in the position of Swedish king for twenty-three years, and was only one year younger than his father when he died.

After the death of Gustav VI, it was not the crown prince but the crown prince who ascended the throne, and it was only at that time that the Swedish royal family was finally a little younger.

On the contrary, it is their cousin Britain, who is outside the European continent, and the royal family is getting older.

The current King of Sweden is very old, and the Crown Prince of Sweden is in the prime of life, so he has been like a prince to help his father deal with some political affairs.

After confirming the list of honors, he finally had time to meet up with his good friend, who had already arrived in Stockholm.

In the private residence of the crown prince, as soon as they met, the crown prince of Sweden did not have time to renew the friendship between the two people, so he first complained to his good friend Chen Muwu about the troubles he had encountered in handling government affairs recently.

For example, on the issue of awards, this family has to give a few, and that family has to give a few.

In addition, there are a bunch of wealthy nouveau riche who want to support the façade by donating money to the state in exchange for a medal.

"Dr. Chen, don't you know, what I hope most now is that the school in Stockholm will be built as soon as possible, and I will no longer care about these messy things of the royal family, and go to the school to be my principal with peace of mind."

As he spoke, the Swedish crown prince finally realized Chen Muwu, who had been sitting opposite him since just now, listening to himself pour bitter water without saying a word.

"Hey, Dr. Chen, do you want a medal? As long as you open Chrysostom, I will send you the medal! ”
