The paper published in the inaugural issue of the Journal of the Prince's College is much more than the discovery of the neutron.

In the order of the research results produced by Chen Muwu's five-member group after they came to Stockholm at the end of last year, a number of academic papers were published in the Journal in turn, and the authors of them were all these scientists who were engaged in research at the Prince's College.

Design and Construction of Cyclotrons,

"Discovery of Iodine-like Element No. 85 by Cyclotron",

"No. 85 Element Iodine Testing",

"Discovery of Element No. 43 Manganese by Cyclotron",

"Examination of Element No. 43 Manganese",

"The Discovery of the Neutron",

"The Discovery of Positrons",

"The Discovery of Carbon-14",

……

Maybe many people in the world are waiting to see Chen Muwu's jokes, and he alone wants to edit and publish a scientific journal by himself, which is simply beyond his means.

But they may not have thought that Chen Muwu actually produced this scientific journal.

These heavyweight papers, together with the data and accompanying figures of the papers, were typeset and printed together to produce a thick English version of the sample.

Chen Muwu made a grand wish at the beginning, saying that the "Journal of the Prince College" should be published in Chinese, English and Swiss Chinese at the same time.

English is the easiest, while Swedish was translated by a few local Swedish teachers and students from the KTH Royal Institute of Technology.

Only the Chinese version is the most difficult, and Chen Muwu and Zhao Zhong ask two people to engrave the plate on wax paper with a steel needle stroke by stroke, and then print it one by one with ink.

Fortunately, the "Journal of the Prince Academy" does not stipulate a fixed publication time, otherwise if it is published in one or two months according to the management of academic journals, then Chen Muwu will have at least three days to do nothing, so he can only make editions here alone.

All in all, with the cooperation of Marcus Jr., the printing house in Stockholm produced a large number of English and Swedish editions of the inaugural issue of the Journal of the Prince College.

The latter was mailed free of charge to universities and high schools in Sweden as a souvenir.

As for the former......

Because Chen Muwu had previously advertised in relevant academic journals and newspapers of various countries, as well as the communication telegram that Rutherford took to the editorial office of the journal "Nature" after the discovery of neutrons.

During the printing of the English version of the journal, Chen Muwu in Stockholm had already received many letters and telegrams from all over the world, asking how to subscribe to the year-round periodical.

Chen Muwu decided that as long as it was a letter or telegram, he would send a copy of the inaugural issue back to the address above.

In addition to these people, he also drew a scoop from a gourd and sent a copy to every famous university, research institute and library in the world, and the English version was printed in the largest number anyway.

As for the ones sent to the University of China, Chen Muwu attached the Chinese version that he and Zhao Zhongyao had handwritten in addition to the English version.

The cover of the inaugural issue in either language is printed with a photo of the cyclotron.

Chen Muwu originally planned to attach a photo of the school gate of Prince College, but at Rutherford's suggestion, he replaced it with this more selling photo.

"Chen, you have made a cyclotron now, do you plan to sell it to the outside world like the previous electrostatic particle accelerator in the future? If you want to sell it to the public, I suggest you change the photo on the cover from the gate of Prince College to the photo of the cyclotron. There's nothing more appealing than advertising on the cover. ”

Of course, the teacher's kind reminder also has to pay a certain price: "I don't know how much you plan to sell this machine to others, if it's not expensive, I also want one in the Cavendish laboratory, so let's make a price." ”

Rutherford's words have already said so, if Chen Muwu still dares to make an offer, then he is a fool.

"Sir, you're really out of sight. Whoever I ask for money, I can't ask for money from the Cavendish lab that trained me. If the money is paid by the laboratory, then I only need to pay the cost price to the factory, and I can't ask for a penny.

"But if the money comes from Cambridge University...... It's not impossible for me to want some money. ”

The people in Cavendish Lab are all his own family, but not all of them are at Cambridge.

Hearing him say this, Rutherford also understood: "When we return to Cambridge University, we should study with the school to see how much it will cost to build such a sophisticated but expensive machine." ”

All the experiments have been done, and all the papers have been put together and printed in the Journal of the Prince's College.

At present, Chen Muwu has nothing to do in Stockholm, so it is time to leave temporarily.

Rutherford was equally satisfied, and he visited Stockholm to witness the discovery of the neutron he had been looking for.

Not only neutrons, but also positrons, something fresher and more exotic than neutrons.

Bohr met with his teacher Rutherford, and saw so many achievements in physics made by his younger brother Chen Muwu, and it was not in vain.

Everyone came to Stockholm to a greater or lesser extent, but only one person did not want to leave.

Kapitsa made his attitude straight to the point to Chen Muwu: "Chen, how much power do you have in this school?" If you can give me a professorship, I'll take Anna to Stockholm and not go back to England.

"It's just across the Baltic Sea from St. Petersburg, and I can take a boat home at any time, and I don't have to get troubled by the customs lords every time I go through British customs because of my Sulian passport.

"And your new school, both in terms of the space in the lab and the equipment used in the lab, is much better than the Cavendish lab, and I really think it's better to stay."

A true warrior who dared to say such a thing in front of Rutherford.

Chen Muwu didn't know if Kapitsa's words were a joke or sincere, but no matter which one it was, he definitely couldn't take it seriously.

Chen Muwu responded with a smile: "Peter, since you are so willing to stay, then please stay." It was during this time that Prince College also needed a temporary worker to stay on campus and guard the campus. ”

"This time? Temporary workers? Guarding the campus? Chen, are you leaving Stockholm? Where are you going? ”

Kapitsa was confused, not knowing what Chen Muwu was talking about.

"Of course I'm leaving Stockholm. It's almost October, and I'm going back to London to get married!

"Say it beforehand, Peter. You can stay in Stockholm, but my wedding gift money is not a penny! ”

Hearing Chen Muwu's answer, everyone present laughed.

Kapitsa blushed and covered up the matter.

"Chen, you said it earlier, if you had said it earlier, then I would definitely not stay in Sweden again, and your wedding still has to be attended. When do we depart? ”

"In two days, I'll arrange a job here in Stockholm."

There is no such thing as a feast, and it is time to leave.

"Chen, of course I'm going to your wedding, but I'm going back to Denmark to take care of some things first. We'll see you then! ”

Bohr and Biermann naturally wanted to go back to Copenhagen, the former said that he was going to attend Chen Muwu's wedding, and the latter also had a little meaning when he heard it.

It's just that Bierman thinks that he may not be so familiar with Chen Muwu, so he is embarrassed to speak.

Chen Muwu saw his predicament, so he warmly invited the other party: "Professor Bierman, thank you for your support of our research work in Stockholm these days. If you have time, I would like to be able to invite you to my wedding in London. ”

"Of course, of course! Dr. Chen, I can't ask for it, but I'm too embarrassed to say it just now. ”

"Then we'll see you in London!"

"See you in London!"

Irena and Frederick, as Eve's maiden family, will definitely not be able to go directly to London, but will first return to their home in Paris to help prepare for the marriage of their little sister.

Rutherford and Chadwick, along with their driver, Capitsa, were to return the same way they came, take the boat from Stockholm to Norwich, pick up the car that Capitsa had parked there, and go back to Cambridge.

Zhao Zhongyao and Cockcroft, who had completed a series of experiments in Stockholm, returned to the UK with the director of the Cavendish laboratory.

They carried their own and Chen Muwu's large bags of luggage, as well as many copies of the inaugural issue of the Journal of the Prince Academy, which still carried the scent of ink.

It is estimated that after getting off the ship in Norwich, the two of them should not be able to squeeze into Capitsa's car, but will take the train back to school.

Everyone goes back to Copenhagen to Copenhagen, back to Paris to Paris, back to Cambridge University.

Only Chen Muwu's destination is different from others.

He followed Irena and Frederick back to Paris, where he met some old and new friends, including de Broglie.

Then Chen Muwu stayed in Paris for only one night before boarding the train again.

He didn't go to Calais, a coastal city on the west side of France, and then change to a ferry across the English Channel back to London.

Rather, it was to travel east from Paris, across the Alps, and again to Italy.

I don't know if the International Mathematical Union recognized Chen Muwu's identity as a mathematician who once overthrew the beautiful ideas of the king of mathematics, Hilbert, or to rub his popularity.

The International Congress of Mathematicians, which is held every four years, also sent an invitation letter to Chen Muwu, inviting him to the University of Bologna in Italy to participate in this year's International Congress of Mathematicians.

After the Fifth International Congress of Mathematicians was held at Cambridge University in England in 1912 due to the First World War, the 1916 Congress was suspended due to the war and was not held again until 1920.

In Strasbourg, France, in 1920, and Toronto, Canada, in 1924, mathematicians from the defeated Central Powers were not allowed to attend the International Congress of Mathematicians.

If it was an opportunity for physicists like the Solvay Conference, it would be a matter if the allied physicists did not attend.

But this is, after all, an international congress of mathematicians, and it is somewhat nondescript to exclude mathematicians from the University of Göttingen, which has been an international mathematical research center since Gauss.

This situation is like the World Table Tennis Championships in the future, where there is no Chinese team to participate in the World Table Tennis Championships, and countries that have absolute dominance in a certain aspect do not participate, leaving only a group of rookies pecking at each other.

Therefore, a large number of mathematicians do not recognize the two International Congresses of Mathematicians in Strasbourg in 1920 and Toronto in 1924, feeling that these two conferences are not international enough.

They considered the International Congress of Mathematicians, to be held in Bologna, Italy, this year (1928) to be the sixth after the fifth held at Cambridge University in 1912.

Of course, there are also mathematicians who believe that the previous two editions should be included in the International Congress of Mathematicians, and this year's edition should be regarded as the eighth.

Rigorous mathematicians around the world have been discussing this problem for the entire meeting time without coming up with a result.

So much so that at the new International Congress of Mathematicians held in Zurich, Switzerland in 1932, the German mathematician Weyl - who was also an apprentice of Hilbert - complained about this incident at the opening ceremony of the conference: "We are dealing with an extraordinary incident here, about the number n, which corresponds to the International Congress of Mathematicians that has just opened, and we have inequalities 7≤n≤9." Unfortunately, our axiomatic basis is not sufficient to give more precise propositions. ”

Seeing that in 1932 it was still uncertain how many congresses it should be, the organizers of the conference simply took a break from that year and decided to start with the conference of that year, and no longer call the conference the first sessions, but all of them by year.

This year's conference was held from September 3rd to September 10th, just before Chen Muwu's wedding.

Moreover, the venue of the conference is also suitable, in Italy, which is no longer separated by the Atlantic Ocean, and it takes more than half a month to go back and forth to North America.

Therefore, Chen Muwu happily accepted the invitation of the International Mathematical Union to participate in this year's International Congress of Mathematicians.

He thought that he would be able to take this opportunity to meet Hilbert, the king of mathematics, who was finally no longer boycotted by the International Mathematical Union because of his nationality and could come to the conference.

The old man had already conveyed the meaning of meeting to Chen Muwu through von Neumann, and this time he finally had the opportunity.

Just when Chen Muwu left France by train and crossed the Alps to Italy.

Universities, institutes and libraries around the world began to receive the Journal of the Prince's College from Stockholm.
