"Crossing the Dragon Pond and Entering the Tiger's Lair, Our Reporter Exclusively Revealed the Live Record of the National Treasure Trading Flow from the Palace"

"The Forbidden City was hit by disaster, and the Bei Fire Brigade performed extraordinary feats. After an inventory was taken, it was found that the loss of the palace's treasures was quite small, which was very fortunate! 》

"A fire exposed the mystery of the leakage of national treasures from the Qing palace: How many priceless treasures have the eunuchs stolen since the Republic of China?" 》

"Emperor Xun of the Qing Dynasty ordered the eunuchs and maids to be expelled from the palace, and the voices of those kneeling and crying outside the Meridian Gate were loud."

"Bei university students raided the palaces of the emperor's younger brothers, Pujie and Puren, and found countless national treasures in the palace."

"Responding to Beijing: Students from Tianjin enter the British Concession, and Zaitao's private residence is so dazzling that it is staggering"

"Academic circles in North China call for the protection of national treasures and the expulsion of Emperor Xun of the Qing Dynasty"

"The national treasures from Beijing and Tianjin have been transported to Bei University. General Bei established the Institute of Antiquities, and Ma Heng is proposed to be the director."



During the Chinese New Year, Chen Muwu, who was busy visiting relatives, naturally had no time to spare and read the newspapers one by one.

He only occasionally heard the news from the north through his relatives talking about the mountains and rivers.

But Chen Muqiao discovered that his third brother would occasionally hum a few lines of "Who said those who stand in the light are heroes?" The tune did not sound like Pingtan or Shaoxing opera. It was a local ditty from somewhere.

After spending the New Year peacefully, Chen Muwu returned to his workplace, the Lianglu Railway Management Bureau, to cancel his leave on the first day after the holiday.

The matter of going to Bei University to give lectures has long been published in the newspapers, especially the last scene. After Zhang Henshui's polishing and processing, Chen Muwu's image became even taller.

What is time travel? Zhuge Liang went back to the past from the future, so he could know five hundred years in advance and five hundred years in hindsight. The same is true for Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng, Liu Bowen and others.

The magicians of various cults such as Yiguandao and Zilimen who are active in the countryside discovered a new way of deceiving and abducting people after reading the news, so they also began to claim that they had mastered time travel technology. The future man, an omniscient and omnipotent prophet, has harvested another wave of incense money from Leek believers.

The combination of science and superstition is a magical phenomenon that can only occur in today's ignorant civil society.

The eldest brother told him that music classes in some primary schools in the concession have also begun to teach students to sing the newly published song "Orchid Grass" in Tianan's "Yi Shi Bao".

When Chen Muwu was waiting for the tram on his way to and from get off work, he could often hear primary school students in uniform humming this song. He thought to himself that it was bad, it was broken, and now I am really a lonely person.

Colleagues couldn't help but look at this junior who has become famous after returning from lecturing at Bei University with even greater admiration.

It's not that they simply want to please, but the number of people who come forward to help him arrange marriage proposals and become relatives with Chen Muwu has increased visibly.

He was still the concierge of that unit. Seeing that Chen Muwu finally came back to work, he immediately sent him letters and packages with his name that had been sent to the railway bureau in recent days.

He also thoughtfully organized the letters in chronological order to make it easier for Chen Muwu to read.

After giving the concierge a few small foreign coins, Chen Muwu opened the letters one by one and started reading them.

The first thing he saw were the two registered mail receipts given to him by the post office. Receiving this receipt meant that the registered letters sent previously had been successfully delivered to the recipients.

The reason why Chen Muwu spent a lot of money to send registered letters was to be sure that the two papers he had worked so hard to write would be successfully sent to the editorial offices of two physics journals.

The next letter had a one-penny and one-and-a-half-penny stamps with the image of King George V affixed to the envelope. Chen Muwu thought it was a return receipt sent to him by the British Journal of Philosophy.

But when he saw that the address on the letter was not London but Cambridge, he began to be a little confused.

Could it be that the publication of his paper caused a sensation in European academic circles, and Cambridge University was interested in recruiting him?

After opening the letter, what came into view was a beautiful cursive English calligraphy. Chen Muwu struggled to identify it for a long time before he understood the content. He discovered that the facts were completely different from what he thought.

The letter stated that the paper he submitted was rejected by the Journal of Philosophy. Although the reason for the rejection was not stated, Chen Muwu knew very well that it was probably because of his Chinese identity.

He had long expected that this outcome was likely to occur, and even Einstein's recommendation would be of no avail.

However, what follows in the letter is a twist. Although the paper above will not be published in the "Journal of Philosophy", relying on the recommendation of Sir J.J. Thomson, the "Transactions of the Natural Sciences" of the Royal Society is considering publishing the paper. in their February issue.

Mountain darkly, vista.

Chen Muwu took a breath. He naturally knew what a big Buddha J.J. Thomson was, and "Proceedings of the Natural Science" should be the most authoritative scientific magazine in the English-speaking world. When he first wrote the paper , I didn’t even dare to think about submitting articles to this journal, so I settled on the "Journal of Philosophy" as the next best option.

At the end of the letter, the writer suggested that if he publishes another paper in the future, please do not send it to the Journal of Philosophy, but directly to the Natural Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society.

Seeing that the letter was signed by Arthur Eddington, Chen Muwu finally knew why the letter was sent from Cambridge.

It turns out that the telegram Einstein mentioned was not taken to the editorial board of Science Magazine, but to his good friend and follower.

After learning that the paper might not only be published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, but also recommended by J.J. Thomson and connected with Eddington, Chen Muwu felt that Einstein had really done him a big favor. , can be regarded as the first noble person he met after traveling through time, besides his family.

It seems that I should really find a time to raise the issue of the cosmological constant and express my gratitude to this great scientist.

Chen Muwu's letter was sent from Baihai on November 20 last year, and the postmark on Eddington's letter showed that it was sent from Cambridgeshire on January 9 this year. The postmark of delivery in Baihai's hometown is The twenty-second of this month.

In other words, his communication with Britain this time took three months on the road.

He corresponded four times in a year, and no matter how many genius-like ideas he had in his brain, he couldn't help but lose time on the way.

Germany sent a large letter, which contained a hard copy of his first paper, and attached a letter telling him that this paper would be published in the "Annals of Physics" in January.

When Chen Muwu saw that the paper he had written had finally been printed and published in a journal, Chen Muwu's heart, which had been hanging around for several months, finally settled in his stomach.

No matter what, he has now driven a wedge into the physics community with a paper that will cause huge controversy, and has barely found a place to stay.

In the future, how big a hole this small wedge can create depends on his own ability.
