It has been more than a month since he came to Cambridge. During this period, Chen Muwu conducted an experiment and discovered a new optical phenomenon. He also wrote two papers, which will be published in the July issue of "Transactions of the Natural Science" .
He has another purely theoretical paper being written and plans to make it public after a while.
Otherwise, if we published three papers in a row in more than a month, even the donkeys in the production team would not be so diligent!
In addition, Chen Muwu also sent the manuscript of "The Condor" to Zhang Xiuyou, a special correspondent of "Yi Shi Bao" who lives in Paris, France. He didn't know when "Yi Shi Bao" would remit the manuscript fee to him. Come here, although he is not short of money now.
After taking some time off, Chen Muwu remembered that Blackett had told him about the swimming spot in the Cam River on the train to London.
So he also went to a store in Cambridgeshire and bought a one-piece swimsuit, planning to follow suit and swim in the River Cam, trying "in the soft waves of the River Cam" to see what it was like to be a waterweed. .
In the 1920s, there was no nylon, and chemical fibers were not widely used in clothing fabrics. Chen Muwu originally thought that this swimsuit would be made of cotton, but when he got it in his hands, he discovered that the material it was made of was actually wool.
With its one-piece style and wool material, Chen Muwu could already imagine how much resistance this swimsuit would bring to him even before he got into the water.
After changing into his swimsuit in his rented room and putting on a college robe, Chen Muwu walked south along the Kang River.
The fat little black guy who talks about cross talk once teased Brother Qian'er who smoked, drank and permed his hair on stage, saying that Qian'er's wife had knitted a pair of woolen underwear for him.
But now, this "wool underwear" is actually worn on Chen Muwu.
Using wool products to make close-fitting swimsuits, today's clothing manufacturers have so much imagination!
Walking by the Kang River, Chen Muwu felt more and more awkward as he walked forward. He just looked forward to getting into the water as soon as possible. Once under the water, would he be able to relieve his current itching feeling?
Fortunately, the swimming place was not far from the campus. Chen Muwu finally saw many people swimming in the water of the Cam River.
The people in the water are all men, which is normal. After all, girls are still a new thing in Cambridge University.
Although in theory, Cambridge University has begun to accept female students, it is actively operating it...
The only woman who often appears in Chen Muwu's daily life is his landlady Mrs. Brown.
As he walked closer, Chen Muwu also discovered that some of the people making the most noise in the water were the same people he had bumped into by the river before the holidays.
But this time when they saw Chen Muwu, his attitude was much more respectful than before. After all, the robe he was wearing from Trinity College, the best college in Cambridge University, could also be a symbol of status.
There is a row of wooden boxes along the river for swimmers to store clothes and belongings.
After finding an empty box, Chen Muwu stuffed the robe he took off and his shoes into, and then started doing warm-up exercises by the river.
The muscles exposed on his arms and chest were sharp and angular. Bodybuilding had just emerged at this time. Chen Muwu's muscles, which he had developed by relying on the fitness concept of a hundred years later, made the white-knuckled chickens playing in the river all look... I couldn't help but glance sideways frequently.
"Hey, East Asian, what country are you from? How come I've never seen you in Cambridge before?"
Someone in the water asked boldly.
"I am Chinese." Chen Muwu replied neither humble nor overbearing.
After he finished speaking, he realized that the English sentence he blurted out had become a vulgar Internet meme in his previous life.
Everyone in the water and on the shore was silent for a second or two, and then burst into laughter. However, they are not laughing because they know the meaning of this bad joke.
"Stop joking, how do Chinese people have figures and physiques? Newspapers say that Chinese people are heavy smokers, with sallow complexions and thin bodies, and weak constitutions. How can you be Chinese? Where are you from? Is it Malaya?"
The former is a new East Asian power that has emerged in recent decades. At the Washington Conference, it became the third country in the world in terms of naval capital ship tonnage. Although its strength has improved significantly, in the eyes of these arrogant British, they are still racially inferior. nationality.
The latter is a British colony and has been ruled by the British for a long time. It can barely be regarded as a Zhanmu King, semi-evolving from an ignorant monkey to a human.
They cited these two countries with an obvious intention, that is, they believed from the bottom of their hearts that Chen Muwu, who was so elegant and physically strong, could never be Chinese.
Chen Muwu didn't intend to pay attention to these noisy young people. After the warm-up, he plunged into the Kang River and disappeared.
For the first ten seconds, people in the water and on the shore didn't take it seriously. They were still talking and laughing as before. Chen Muwu's appearance was just a small episode in their play in the water.
But ten seconds later, some people were the first to notice the clue: Why hasn't that East Asian just emerged from the water yet?
"Save people! Help people!"
The first few people to react either jumped into the water on the shore or dived directly in the water, and swam as hard as they could towards the place where Chen Muwu disappeared.
But most of them are still looking at the show with a gloating expression. The life of a person who claims to be Chinese is not worth a lot of money in their eyes, even if he is a student of Trinity College.
After another ten seconds, Chen Muwu stepped on the water and exposed his head from the water surface thirty or forty meters away.
An eagle-eyed person spotted Chen Muwu immediately. He pointed in that direction and shouted loudly: "Oh my God! How did he run so far all of a sudden? Doesn't this Chinese know witchcraft?"
His shout attracted more people's attention and eyes, causing them to look towards Chen Muwu's position.
The few people who had just dived into the water to rescue people also stopped after hearing the sound. They are all members of the Cambridge University Swimming and Water Polo Club (CUSWPC) and are preparing for the competition in the Cam River for more than a month. Cambridge-Oxford Joint Games in London.
They are the most knowledgeable people in Kanghe now. After roughly estimating the time and distance Chen Muwu traveled, they were shocked.
Is this speed too fast? If you can recruit him into the club, why worry about not being able to win against those nerds in Oxford?
"Hello! Sir, what's your name?"
Someone was squirting water in the direction of Chen Muwu and shouting to him.
"Chen Muwu has no English name."
Hearing Chen Muwu's self-report, there was another uproar at the scene.
"What?"
"Is he Chen Muwu?"
"What Chen Muwu? Which Chen Muwu?"
"The Chinese who was praised by Einstein, made Eddington hit people, and said that time travel may exist."
"Then why is he wearing the robes of Trinity College?"
"Rumors, I heard from the Sulian guy who taught me how to play mahjong that a huge Chinese genius recently arrived in their laboratory..."
"No wonder he says he is Chinese. He does have the confidence and strength to say he is Chinese!"
"Tch, he must have mastered the technology of time travel to be able to swim so far in such a short period of time!"
