"Professor Pauli, as you know, I now have such a school in Stockholm......"

Regardless of whether Pauli could understand his motives or not, Chen Muwu briefly explained to the other party the purpose of his establishment of this prince's college.

“…… But now I have a problem, which is that there is not a physics textbook on the market that is suitable for the kind of students I recruited from China, so I plan to write a set myself. You didn't come to Stockholm for Rausch's bet, that's why. ”

Hearing the reason that came out of Chen Muwu's mouth made Pauli puzzled.

Writing teaching materials?

"Dr. Chen, Dr. Chen, do you want me to help write an introductory textbook for students in Stockholm?"

Pauli directly brought up his inner thoughts.

"That's it, Professor Pauli," Chen Muwu nodded, "I know that you have very good experience in writing textbooks, and when you were still in school, you had already written a lecture note on general relativity, which was not only included in the encyclopedia, but also praised by Professor Einstein as better than his own writing, and has been used as a textbook on general relativity by universities throughout Europe, and has been used until now."

"That's why I've written a letter inviting you to come to Stockholm. It's just that I'm afraid that you might refuse my invitation, so I used some small means in the letter, hoping that you won't be surprised. ”

Chen Muwu said very sincerely, and invisibly praised Pauli in his words, which made him very useful to listen to.

But Pauli vaguely felt that something was not right.

It is true that he himself has experience in compiling textbooks, but ......

Pauli also knew that at Cambridge University, these people, led by Chen Muwu, had written a set of lecture notes on quantum mechanics for Cambridge physics students.

The book was well received upon its release, and not only became the textbook of quantum mechanics used by Cambridge University, but also the original or translated version of the book was used in the quantum mechanics courses of the physics departments of universities in English-speaking countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States, and even universities in non-English-speaking countries such as France, Germany, and Italy.

Of course, some schools will make some improvements on the basis of this book, although not much.

Basically, this lecture on quantum mechanics is about the same level of popularity today as the one he wrote about general relativity.

Chen Muwu They have already compiled a very popular lecture notes on quantum mechanics, and they have sufficient experience in writing textbooks, so why do they have to do it themselves?

Pauli, who was outspoken, once again spoke his inner thoughts.

"Professor Pauli, this is because we have a very large set of subjects in this textbook, and we don't have enough people here at Prince's College, so we have to seek help from others.

"And the other thing is that everybody's thinking is different, so everybody's writing has a different focus.

"In addition to writing the textbooks, we also have to review each other, find faults, and see if there are any deficiencies in the content that has been produced.

"None of us have long-term experience in the field, so your presence and joining us is crucial for our textbook writing team."

"Dr. Chen, will you also participate in the compilation of this textbook?"

Pauli then asked.

Chen Muwu didn't know why he suddenly asked this question, but he still told Pauli: "This is natural, because the Prince's College is the school I established, and the students I teach are all compatriots from my motherland who have come to Europe through great hardships, and I must compile a textbook that is more suitable for them."

"Of course, please rest assured that the remuneration for writing the textbook must be indispensable, and I can guarantee that the Prince's College is definitely the most paid in Europe......"

Again, he told Pauli about the treatment of Stockholm from beginning to end, as he had done at the Cavendish Laboratory.

Pauli frowned, and thought for a while with a solemn expression on his face, before finally nodding his hard-won head: "Okay, Dr. Chen, I am willing to join your group." ”

However, his heart was already happy, Pauli felt that he had finally waited for an opportunity to justifiably pick on Chen Muwu, he must pick a cool one this time, and relieve the unwillingness that has accumulated in his heart for so many years.

"But I probably won't be able to stay in Stockholm for so long, and I know that I still have teaching tasks at the University of Berlin, so I can't stay at Prince's College for a semester and devote myself to writing textbooks, right?"

"It's easy to do that, once we've assigned the content to be written, you can choose where you want to work.

"You just need to meet regularly to discuss with each other what problems you have encountered in the process of writing, and then review each other to see if there are any flaws in the content written by the other party.

"If nothing else, then we should have been in Stockholm all this time, and Professor Pauli, whenever you have time, just come to Sweden directly from Germany. As I said earlier, the cost of your travel between the two countries is also paid by us. ”

Chen Muwu had obviously considered this question for a long time, and after hearing Pauli's question, he gave his own answer without thinking about it.

"That's pretty good, but, Dr. Chen, I have one last question......

Chen Muwu had a smile on his face, but he was a little puzzled in his heart.

Anything he could think of had already been said by himself or asked by Pauli.

What else could he have wrong, was there something he hadn't thought of?

"Speak, Professor Pauli."

"Ahem, Dr. Chen, don't be nervous, my question is no longer about the compilation of textbooks."

A rare look of embarrassment appeared on Pauli's face.

"What I want to ask about the bet between you and me is about whether the positron can be discovered by humans.

"I admit that it was my academic hubris and immaturity that made me make this mistake."

Chen Muwu pondered in his heart for a long time, and it was not until Pauli said his question that he breathed a sigh of relief.

"You mean this? Professor Pauli, didn't we just say it when we first met, and this matter should be regarded as a flip, and none of us will care about it anymore! ”

But Pauli was once again more serious: "That's not going to work! ”

He took out ten glittering round coins from his suit pocket, and lined them up one by one on the desk in front of Chen Muwu like Kong Yiji of the Xianheng Hotel in Luzhen.

"I spent a lot of effort in Berlin to exchange ten of this pre-British currency, which has ceased to be in circulation.

"Dr. Chen, this time I'm willing to gamble. I could still afford ten gold coins, but I couldn't do anything with the extra eight thousand pounds of money after that. Admit the punishment and listen to the convenience. We Jews are one of the most contractually important peoples! ”

That's right, you Jews, dare to take the Old Testament and say that the land of Jerusalem is your own.

The Old Testament is also a covenant, and there is nothing wrong with it.

However, seven or eight hundred years earlier than the Old Testament, King Ping of Zhou once promised a blank check to Qin Xianggong, who sent troops to escort him eastward to Luoyi, called "All the land west of Qishan will be returned to Qin".

If you look beyond the territory of the Zhou Dynasty, you will find that Berlin is also west of Qishan, then Berlin is also Qin.

London is also west of Qishan, so London is also Qin.

And as we all know, the earth is round, so New York is also west of Qishan, Tokyo is also west of Qishan, and everyone is Qin.

If the Chinese can learn to be as thick-skinned as the Jews, it will not be very difficult to declare and realize that "there is only one Great Qin on the earth".

I don't know if it's because I thought of something happy in my heart, or because it was rare to see Pauli put his posture so low, anyway, Chen Muwu immediately laughed: "Professor Pauli, I thought you were going to say something, it turned out to be this."

"In that case, I'll take the ten gold coins of Sovereign, and as for the additional eight thousand pounds sterling, you will take it as a joke, and we will forget about him, shall we?"

"If, I mean, if you really don't want to go, then you take a lot of trouble with the preparation of the textbook, and then I pay you eight thousand pounds, and our bet is written off, how about it?

"If you're still not satisfied, then when the students from Prince College arrive, you come from Berlin to Stockholm and become an adjunct professor of physics for a few semesters."

"No problem!"

Pauli always felt that Chen Muwu would not really let him come to Prince College as a professor, so he happily agreed.

But what he didn't expect was that he would escape from Germany and teach at the Prince's College one day.

Heisenberg, who was on the side, felt that the solution proposed by Chen Muwu not only took care of Pauli's emotions, but also allowed him to no longer care about the previous gambling contract between the two people, but to devote himself to the compilation of the textbook with peace of mind.

From the moment he saw Pauli in Stockholm, Heisenberg was in a state of fear, he was afraid that if he disagreed, Chen Muwu and Pauli would scuffle together.

If this were the case, Heisenberg would feel that it would be inappropriate for him to help anyone.

He didn't think that the dry bodies of von Neumann and Landau, a Hungarian and a Russian, could separate Chen Muwu and Pauli, who were scuffling together.

Now that the two of them have taken a step back and not turned Stockholm's Prince's College into a battlefield, it would have been better for physicists from these two countries that were hostile to each other in the world war to fight.

Pauli agreed to Chen Muwu's invitation to participate in the compilation of the textbook.

The next thing to do is to assign what everyone writes, and von Neumann, a graduate of the University of Göttingen, is responsible for calculus, linear algebra, and complex functions in the math part;

Chen Muwu is responsible for writing the thermal, optical and quantum physics sections;

The most basic mechanics belong to Heisenberg;

Pauli was assigned to the rest of the electromagnetics section.

The University of Berlin, which has produced Kirchhoff, Helmholtz and Hertz, is also a strong university with a long history in the study of classical electromagnetism.

Asking Pauli, also from the University of Berlin, to write a textbook on electromagnetism is a kind of inheritance.

As for Landau, who was brought to Stockholm by Chen Muwu from Dirac at Cambridge University?

Because he was still a student, Chen Muwu asked him to be the secretary of the three people who stayed at the Prince's College to write the textbook, and by the way, let him come and give some opinions on the content compiled by everyone from the perspective of a student.

However, it seems that for this genius student, Chen Muwu and the basic textbooks they compiled are not very able to put forward any opinions.

But Landau also lost the uninhibited character of arrogance at Legigrad University, and in front of Chen Muwu, he behaved very carefully and responsibly.

Pauli came to Stockholm just before the start of the University of Berlin.

So he stayed at the Prince's College for a few more days, familiarized himself with Chen Muwu's process of compiling the textbook, and then left Sweden and returned to Germany before his vacation was over.

On the other side of the Eurasian continent, in the most prosperous city in the Far East, the Swedish Legation in China will also welcome the entrance examination of the Prince's College.

These days, the whole of the legation is busy with this matter, on the one hand, they have to organize the examination arrangements of the students, and on the other hand, they have to pay attention to the confidentiality of the examination papers.

For the sake of prudence, the test papers for this examination were collected from Shi Ruwei after visiting universities across the country, and the usual test questions were collected from them, and a test question was synthesized together.

As for other subjects such as mathematics and chemistry, Shi Ruwei invited Professor Ye Qisun, head of the Department of Physics at Tsinghua University, to introduce the topics formulated by the conscientious and responsible teachers in Tsinghua Park in accordance with the communication with Chen Muwu.

At present, Tsinghua University, which is also responsible for the annual Gengzi indemnity to study in the United States, is also responsible for Tsinghua University, which was built because of the Gengzi indemnity.

The reason why Chen Muwu did this was to let the group of international students who went to the United States because of the Geng money in history not go to the United States this time, but transfer to his Prince's College.

The questions in each subject are not difficult, in fact, as long as you prepare carefully, it is very easy to pass the exam.

However, it is still inevitable that some people with ulterior motives will do everything possible to inquire where to know the questions of this exam in advance.

Whether it is Shi Ruwei, Ye Qisun or other teachers involved in the proposition process, they have been harassed countless times because of this incident.

In the end, Shi Ruwei, who never got tired of it, even left his home and lived directly in the Swedish Legation in China.

But even the legation could not escape, and the consul general in Shanghai simply came to visit, wanting to get the exam questions from the Swedish legation in advance.
