Chen Muwu felt that although Professor Hilbert was empty-handed, he had given him a very good wedding gift.

Chen Muwu was worried about the problem of teachers at Prince College, and Professor Hilbert directly sent him the teaching staff of the entire subject of mathematics.

Although they were newcomers to school, they were from the University of Göttingen, the center of mathematics in the world.

There may be problems with their teaching level, but at least the knowledge and ability are completely sufficient.

It just so happened that the car sent by the organizing committee of the International Congress of Mathematicians to the two people also arrived nearby, so they got into the car with their luggage, and on the way from the University of Bologna to the Bologna train station, they were still chatting about sending teachers from the University of Göttingen to the Prince of Stockholm Academy.

Fortunately, Chen Muwu, who is relatively wealthy now, bought the train ticket to Paris in advance in a private room, so Hilbert no longer needs to go to the train station to buy a train ticket for the same day as Chen Muwu.

He only needs to pay a capitation fee after getting in the car, and he can sit all the way to Paris in Chen Muwu's box.

The train started, and Chen Muwu and Hilbert finally confirmed their intention about sending graduates from the University of Göttingen to Stockholm Prince College.

Like the two of them talked about, there is no need to sign a contract in advance, and there is no way to sign a contract in advance.

In short, Chen Muwu felt that Hilbert was doing him a favor, and Hilbert felt that Chen Muwu was doing him a favor.

Both sides take what they need, thinking that it would be great to meet each other.

After chatting about work, Chen Muwu took out paper and pen from his luggage, struck while the iron was hot on the table in the box, and wrote down the speech he gave at the history of mathematics branch the day before the closing ceremony.

He didn't write documents much by himself, but this time he couldn't fit a bulky typewriter into his luggage because he was in Italy on a business trip.

Hilbert did not bother Chen Muwu, who was lying on the desk and writing hard, it was not the first time he went to England, nor was it the first time he went to Paris, he simply lay on his bunk and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Before the train stopped in Paris, Chen Muwu had already finished sorting out his speech.

After handing the papers to Hilbert for the other party to review correctly.

Hilbert also wrote a letter of recommendation on paper, along with a letter of recommendation that he had personally made.

As soon as the two men got off the train at the Paris train station, they threw the speeches and letters of recommendation that had been packed in envelopes into the mailbox set up on the platform.

If nothing else, the letter will be on the desk of the editorial office of the Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics in Berlin, Germany, a few days later.

France is a mathematical powerhouse, so a letter from Paris is sure to be taken seriously by the editorial office.

And when they opened the letter and found that the person who wrote it was Chen Muwu, and the person who wrote the recommendation letter and the letter of recommendation was Hilbert, they must have attached great importance to the content of this manuscript.

If nothing else, it should be a sure thing to publish the text of Chen Muwu's speech in the next issue of the journal.

The two of them did not leave the Paris train station, but just drank a cup of coffee and had a simple meal in the station.

They took time to change trains from Paris to Calais, then crossed the English Channel across the sea, and then went from Dover to London, the capital of England, to Chen Muwu's home.

It is true that Hilbert was a guest at Chen Muwu's wedding, but he was not able to live in Chen Muwu's house.

It was really because there were too many people from all over the world who came to attend Chen Muwu's wedding, so they could only invite these guests to live in a relatively high-end hotel near Chen Muwu's house.

Chen Muwu, who had just returned to his home from Italy, first accepted Mrs. Chen's reprimand, complaining that he was about to get married, and he was not honest and steady at all, running around the world all day long, and did not return home until the last few days before the wedding.

Mrs. Chen also knew that Chen Muwu was doing his own work, so in the end, she felt sorry for her youngest son's body, saying that if he worked so hard now, he would probably not be able to bear it in the future.

After Chen Muwu was scolded, he devoted himself to familiarizing himself with the wedding process.

Although the wedding took place in London, England, the bride's side was also an authentic European.

However, Chen Muwu's family did not believe in these British religions at all, and the Curie family was not devout believers.

When Marie Curie's eldest daughter, Irena and Frederick, got married, they just went to the town hall near their home, did a simple notarization, and received a marriage certificate, and they did not go to a religious place like a church, nor did they have any priests or priests.

So after Chen Muwu and Eve took their turn this time, the two of them had already reached an agreement, saying that they would not go to the church to hold that kind of wedding with strong religious implications.

At the same time, Eve was also curious about what a Chinese wedding should be, and she had already told Chen Muwu that she wanted to be a bride from China.

Chen Muwu has long explained this to his family, anyway, the Chen family itself is not bad for money, and Chen Muwu has made so much money in the UK.

So Mrs. Chen sent Chen Muqiao to spend a lot of money and transport all kinds of things needed for the wedding from China in advance.

Chen Muwu also named him in advance and said that he didn't want the improved Xiuhe clothes, but wanted a more traditional phoenix crown and xia veil and so on.

I listened to my eldest brother and mother explain the process of the wedding in my own home, and after listening to it.

Chen Muwu simply ate a mouthful of noodles to fill his stomach, and hurried to the hotel near his home to meet those who had come from afar and had not seen each other for a long time before the wedding.

If during the duration of the Solvay Conference, the Solvay Palace in the Leopold Park in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, gathered the world's best physics brains;

During the duration of the International Congress of Mathematicians, the corresponding venue also gathered the best mathematical minds in the world.

So at this moment, in this hotel near Chen Muwu's house, these brains gathered may be better than the above two meetings.

He only knew that his family had chartered the second and third floors of the hotel, but he didn't know who lived in each room, so he could only knock on the door from room to room.

In the first room, Oppenheimer and Hubble, who had come all the way from the United States, lived.

The two of them actually came to Britain from the United States on the same liner.

It's just that because of Oppenheimer and Hubble, the two have never met before.

It's that they don't explain their movements to England to each other and strangers.

So during that eight-day voyage, the two of them didn't know each other existed.

It wasn't until the two of them found the Chen family's address in London according to the address provided to them by telegram that they were arranged to enter the first room of the hotel one after the other.

Now that they had stayed in the hotel, everyone finally realized that this person, who had met many times on the ship from the United States to England, had come to each other for the purpose of attending Chen Muwu's wedding.

I heard a knock on the door, and when I opened it, I found that it was Chen Muwu standing outside the door.

Before the latter could greet them, Oppenheimer was directly excited.

The United States today is far less open than it will be in the future after the Beat Generation.

Generally speaking, the etiquette after meeting people is simply a handshake.

Only people who are too close will be like Oppenheimer when he saw Chen Muwu, running and rushing up, hugging Chen Muwu tightly.

"Teacher Chen, we haven't seen each other for almost two years, right? I really want to die. ”

Chen Muwu thought that Oppenheimer would be very enthusiastic, but he didn't expect him to be so enthusiastic.

After the hug, he smiled and asked how Oppenheimer had been doing in the United States for the past two years.

"Robert, I heard that you went to the University of Chicago and became a professor, how are you doing there?"

Oppenheimer nodded, then shook his head again: "The United States is good, but Britain is even better.

"I remember that Mr. T.S. Eliot, who wrote about the Waste Land, had emigrated from the United States to England.

"I'm wondering if I can follow his example, understand what procedures should be done to immigrate to the UK, and then buy a house near your home and be a neighbor with you, Mr. Chen."

This.

Chen Muwu knew what Benheimer was thinking, but he didn't want to evaluate this approach.

No matter how chaotic the world will be in the future, the United States itself has not suffered a serious crisis of war.

If he had changed this history, Oppenheimer had emigrated from the United States to England and bought a house in London.

If he had been unlucky enough to catch up with the Battle of Britain in the forties, like Griffins, who had died under the constant bombing of London by German planes, Chen Muwu really didn't know what to say.

"Robert, I advise you to be cautious about this matter. After all, my house was not bought for money, but was rented to me by a friend named Montagour, who was also a student at Cambridge University, and I don't know if you saw it at the time.

"I don't know when I'm going to leave the UK, so there's really no need to move my family here."

After listening to Chen Muwu's explanation, Oppenheimer thought thoughtfully: "Then Mr. Chen, why don't I see if I can immigrate to China?" I still remember the time when I visited China with you, and I had a very good impression of your motherland. ”

Belch.

If he stayed in London, England, he could have been killed by German shells, and if Oppenheimer had gone to China, he would have died.

Especially after the outbreak of the Taiping War, it is estimated that he, an American with obvious physical characteristics, will be imprisoned in a concentration camp by himself immediately, and it is a big unknown whether he can hold out in there until the end of the war.

And how can you, the boy who is going to make the atomic bomb to bomb himself in the future, do that kind of stupid thing that "only humiliates the hands of slaves"?

Chen Muwu had no choice but to use another thing to attract Oppenheimer's attention.

He shook his head, the expression on his face full of disapproval for this matter: "About immigration, let's talk about it later." Robert, I have one more thing to tell you.

"That's my school in Stockholm, and it's almost finished.

"I think in less than a year, when enough students are recruited, the course will officially start.

"That's when I really need you, and if you want, you can go to Stockholm and teach me physics for a few years.

"I told you in advance that the money you make in Stockholm will probably be less than the money you would make as a professor at this university."

"Of course, of course! Mr. Chen, don't say that the salary is less than that in the United States, even if you don't have a penny, I have no problem. ”

Oppenheimer thought it was good.

He came to the UK this time, on the one hand, to attend Chen Muwu's wedding, and on the other hand, he had some intention of asking about the guilt.

I think before he left the UK, Oppenheimer already knew about Chen Muwu's school in Stockholm.

At that time, before he got a doctorate from Cambridge University and reluctantly left the United Kingdom to return to the United States, Chen Muwu also assured him that after the school was completed, he would invite him back to work as a teacher in the school in Stockholm.

But as a result, Oppenheimer has seen the news about the Prince of Stockholm Academy in American newspapers again and again, but Chen Muwu's previous promise has not been responded.

Oppenheimer came to the UK this time and wanted to ask Chen Muwu if he had given up on himself.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Chen, who he was thinking about, brought up this matter as soon as they met.

It seems that Chen Muwu still remembers himself in his heart, and Oppenheimer's mood is much happier all of a sudden.

After dealing with Oppenheimer, Chen Muwu turned his head to look at Hubble, who had been talking to the side.

"Dr. Chen, I wish you a happy wedding in advance!"

"Thank you, Professor Hubble, and thank you for coming from the United States to London for my wedding. By the way, I just left the Prince's College in Stockholm just over half a month ago, and the construction there is very good.

"It's just that the observatory has not yet been built because it is the second phase of the project, and it will take some time to polish and install the astronomical telescope.

"What are your plans for this time, to continue working at the Mount Wilson Observatory, or?"

Hubble shook his head: "I have already completed the resignation procedures from the Mount Wilson Observatory, and I am not going to deal with those stubborn and stubborn American astronomers." ”

"Well, after the wedding, I will introduce you to Professor Eddington, the director of the Cambridge University Observatory.

"As long as you don't dislike the instruments and equipment of the Cambridge University Observatory, I think he should be willing to let you stay at the University of Cambridge and work together."

Hubble laughed: "What if the instrument is the most advanced in the world? But the person who discovered the new planet was not an American, but you, Dr. Chen. ”
