Chen Muwu's current thoughts are actually like this.

This new element No. 85 was obtained by using the newly built cyclotron of the Prince of Stockholm Institute to accelerate the alpha particles emitted from natural radioactive sources and bombard the bismuth metal target of element No. 83.

Moreover, not to mention that element 85 is an unstable element with a short half-life, it is also a big question whether this bombardment method can be reproduced in electrostatic particle accelerators in other universities and laboratories around the world.

Even if you write a paper and publish it in a journal as soon as possible, other chemists in the world will not be able to repeat their experiments, and it will naturally be impossible to admit that Chen Muwu and his party discovered the new element No. 85 on the periodic table at the Prince College in Stockholm.

In fact, not only the discovery of new elements in chemistry, but also any new experiment done in any experimental discipline, it is necessary for other colleagues to reproduce the experimental results and phenomena in their laboratories in order to finally confirm that his experiment is successful and real.

It cannot be said that you claim to have done such and such an experiment, and the specific steps and experimental results of the experiment have been compiled into a paper and published in a professional journal, even if the experiment is successful.

This is like the future superconductivity papers, each of which blows up its own experiments, but except for the laboratory of the publisher's unit, other colleagues around the world cannot reproduce their published papers step by step.

This kind of paper has no meaning other than to make it to the news and increase its impact, and then be ridiculed by the whole of his peers.

In particular, the discovery of new chemical elements has been ridiculed.

Why is it that since Mendeleev in the sixties of the nineteenth century, countless chemists have been searching for many years and have not been able to find the new element No. 85, which has been so easily found by you, a physicist and a layman in chemistry?

Although it is true that Chen Muwu has discovered isotopes of hydrogen, so what?

Haven't you yet won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry?

Therefore, the above is the reason why Chen Muwu prevented Frederick's paper from being published, first, it cannot be replicated in other parts of the world, and second, it may not be recognized by chemists.

Chen Muwu's current thinking is that since the mountain can't come to me, then I have to go to the mountain.

As long as I can invite a chemist of sufficient status to go to the laboratory in Stockholm and witness the successful experiment of the five-member team of the bombardment of element 85, and let the chemist endorse it, wouldn't that be okay?

At the beginning, in the David Faraday laboratory of the Royal British Institution in London, Chen Muwu isolated liquid deuterium gas from liquid hydrogen, and he also invited Professor Aston, a Nobel laureate in chemistry from the Cavendish Laboratory of Cambridge University, to personally observe the spectrum of isotope atoms of hydrogen element.

So this time, Chen Muwu still plans to draw a scoop based on the gourd.

But he didn't plan to take the telegram to his alma mater, and invited Professor Aston of the Cavendish Laboratory to Stockholm from under the nose of his teacher Rutherford.

Because Chen Muwu had already dug too many corners from the Cavendish lab—even Chen Muwu himself was the biggest one he had dug up——, it was really inappropriate to continue wielding the shovel.

However, for Chen Muwu, there are other more suitable candidates.

Prince of Stockholm College, because it is a new school that has just been established, although the main building of the first phase of the project has been completed, but the supporting facilities in and around it are not yet perfect.

As a result, Chen Muwu had to walk out of the laboratory building, leave the school, drive the Volvo car that Marcus Jr. had prepared for him in advance, and run to the nearest telegraph office to the prince's college, and take a telegram to Zurich, the capital of Switzerland.

He was not looking for ETH Zurich or the University of Zurich.

Of the two schools, Chen Muwu has only one acquaintance, and that is Schrödinger, a professor of theoretical physics whom he met at the Fourth Solvay Conference.

Pauli, a professor at the University of Hamburg, took over Planck's vacant professorship at the University of Berlin after the retirement of Planck, the head of the physics department at the University of Berlin, and replaced Schrödinger, who was supposed to take over.

As a result, Schrödinger did not go to Berlin, the capital of Germany, but remained in Zurich, the capital of Switzerland.

Chen Muwu actually sent the telegram to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, which is headquartered in Zurich, the capital of Switzerland.

This federation should be the most formal of the various international chemical organizations in the world.

Its status in the chemical community is basically the same as that of the International Federation of Astronomers in astronomy.

And just as the International Union of Astronomers has the power to decide which stars to name, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry has the right to give a name to a newly discovered chemical element.

Although the nomenclature of a new chemical element is in the hands of the chemist who discovered it.

However, the final review of the name of the new element submitted by chemists and the publication of the results of the approval and the unification of the name around the world required the intervention of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.

This is one of the reasons why Chen Muwu would take his telegram to Zurich, the capital of Switzerland.

“IUPAC：

"Recently, my laboratory is suspected of discovering the No. 85 new element, and I asked professionals to come to Stockholm to test this new element to confirm whether it is the No. 85 element iodine-like or some isotope of its neighboring elements. Thank you.

"Prince of Stockholm Academy."

Asking the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry to send a chemist to test the new substance obtained by the five-member team on the cyclotron was also the second purpose of Chen Muwu's telegram.

Just as Chen Muwu said in the telegram, with the chemical knowledge of these five chemical laymen, it is actually impossible to tell whether the new substance they bombarded on the cyclotron is iodine-like element No. 85 or an isotope of some other element near element No. 85 on the periodic table.

Although it is true that Chen Muwu did find two new spectral lines in the spectrum of bismuth vapor, even if it is the same element, the spectra of various isotopes will produce some differences due to the different masses of atomic nuclei.

Therefore, Chen Muwu still had the same idea at the beginning, to ask a chemist with a position in the chemical community to test the new substance they created, so as to confirm that the new substance is element 85.

At the end of Chen Muwu's telegram, his name was not written, but the name of the unit of the Prince of Stockholm College was written, which also had his deep meaning.

The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry has an organizational structure similar to that of the International Federation of Astronomians.

We do not accept applications for membership from individual members, and only accept chemist organizations from various countries to join the federation as a group.

China is obviously not a member of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, and even the earliest association of chemists in China, the Chinese Chemical Society, has not yet been established at this time.

At this moment, Chen Muwu didn't feel all kinds of inconvenience because he was a Chinese, he just felt that it was too late for similar scientific groups in China to start.

Although the Chinese Astronomical Society was established a long time ago, it was not a member of the International Federation of Astronomers before Chen Muwu discovered the Yellow Emperor Star.

So much so that Chen Muwu could only make a special case as a fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, while declaring that he had discovered the ninth planet of the solar system, he urged the Chinese Astronomical Society in China to apply to the International Federation of Astronomers as soon as possible and become one of the member countries as soon as possible.

Chen Muwu wanted to do the same this time, and urged them to set up a Chinese chemical society as soon as possible.

But I thought that if this matter was a domestic telegram, I would get in touch with those people who didn't want to deal with it.

After thinking about it, Chen Muwu felt that he could only do it, his main business was physics, and he was just playing with tickets in chemistry.

Even if he doesn't take the initiative this time, it is estimated that it will not take a few years for the Chinese Chemical Society to be established.

The Chinese Chen Muwu and Zhao Zhongyao could not send a telegram to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry as members of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, and the United Kingdom, to which Cockcroft belongs, and France, to which the Curies belonged, were both members of the Federation, but none of them were members of the chemist societies of their respective countries, so they could not theoretically sign the telegram.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Chen Muwu finally decided to make a telegram in the name of the Prince of Stockholm Academy.

The recipient must have seen that the telegram was sent from Sweden, and although he may not have heard of the new school that had just been established at Prince's College, he should have known that Stockholm was the capital of Sweden, and Sweden happened to be one of the member countries of the Chemical Union.

Chen Muwu deliberately came up with this little trick, she herself felt that it was seamless, but in the eyes of outsiders, especially the staff of the headquarters of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry in Zurich, it was undoubtedly a cover-up.

Thanks to the hype in the newspapers of the Swedish side and Chen Muwu's influence in the world of science and technology journalism, basically everyone in Europe and the United States knows that a new prince college has opened in Stockholm, and this prince college has a great connection with Chen Muwu.

In a new and obscure university in Sweden, there was an unnamed chemist who claimed to have discovered the new element number eighty-five.

Except for him Chen Muwu, who else has such a big breath?

If an unknown rookie chemist claims to have discovered a new element, and does not take the telegraph to his heart's content, if he is lucky, he may be persuaded to publish a paper in a return call so that other chemists in the world can test his discovery.

If he is unlucky, he may not even receive a return call, and his telegram full of anticipation will be lost.

However, Zurich speculated that the author behind this telegram might be Chen Muwu, so they had to pay attention to it.

Because Chen Muwu has indeed made Nobel Prize-level discoveries in chemistry, whether it is inorganic chemistry or organic chemistry, Chen Muwu has made corresponding achievements in these two fields.

On the one hand, he discovered two isotopes of hydrogen, and on the latter, he also invented a way to synthesize organic aggregates.

Chen Muwu's telegram to Zurich, Switzerland, was finally handed over to Einar Biermann, the current president of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, after being passed and forwarded layer by layer.

Although Bierman is the president of the Federation, he is not the kind of resident member.

Bierman has his own job, as a Danish chemist, and his job is a professor of chemistry at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark.

Receiving this telegram from the Federation, Bierman was a little undecided for a while.

Behind the Prince of Stockholm Academy signed this telegram, is it Chen Muwu?

Although there were some doubts in his mind, this question did not have much impact on Bilman.

Because Bierman knows that in the University of Copenhagen, there is a "Chen Muwutong" who has dealt with Chen Muwu a lot.

So Bierman, president of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, took the telegram he had just received, left his office and left for another place in the same city of Copenhagen.

The Carlsberg Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation jointly sponsored the Institute of Theoretical Physics under the University of Copenhagen, and its directors, Bohr and Chen Muwu, were from the same school, and Chen Muwu was invited to visit the University of Copenhagen for several months.

In the entire university, there should be no one who understands Chen Muwu better than Professor Bohr.

Bohr at first thought it strange to hear his secretary call to inform him that a chemistry professor named Bierman from the University of Copenhagen had come to visit.

He knew that one of his colleagues at the university was there, and he knew that Bierman seemed to be a well-known figure in the chemistry world.

It's just that Bohr and he have always been well water and not river water, and he really doesn't know what Bierman is looking for him.

"Professor Bierman said he came to the institute, is there something about it?"

"He said he had a question about Dr. Chen Muwu and wanted to ask you about it."

"Let him in!"
