Not everyone has read Chen Muwu’s two physics papers published in professional journals.
Not everyone cares whether light is a particle or a wave.
But almost everyone present had read about Chen Muwu's various "glorious" deeds from newspapers.
At this time, the club member who asked Chen Muwu's name before had also arrived in front of Chen Muwu.
He adjusted his breathing and asked his question: "Misto Chen, you just took one breath and swam from where to here?"
Chen Muwu nodded expressionlessly: "What else? You don't think I know witchcraft, or that I used time travel technology to swim here, do you?"
His rhetorical question put an embarrassed look on the visitor's face.
Obviously, the two people in the conversation heard the shouts and screams of the onlookers.
"Misto Chen, let me ask you again, are you a student at Cambridge University?"
This time, Chen Muwu gave an affirmative answer: "Yes, I completed my graduate student registration at Trinity College before the start of this spring semester."
"Great! My name is Lawrence Best. I am a student at Gonville and Caius College and the president of the Cambridge University Swimming and Water Polo Club. Are you interested in becoming a member of our club? ?”
Best warmly extended an invitation to Chen Muwu.
Gonville and Caius College, the most famous alumnus of this college in Chen Muwu’s memory was Stephen Hawking who was typing in a wheelchair.
However, Hawking was also a student at Trinity College. After graduating from his PhD, he went to work at Gonville and Caius College.
It stands to reason that Gonville is only separated from Case College and Trinity College by a wall. If a new person comes from the college next door, Best should find out quickly.
But the spring semester, which started in April, is coming to an end soon, and Best just found out that a great person has come to Trinity College.
It's no wonder that he was so late-minded. It was really because Chen Muwu entered the school in April, so he couldn't choose courses.
Since enrolling, he has been staying in the Cavendish Laboratory every day. Only when it is time to eat, he will occasionally follow Kapitsa to the auditorium of Trinity College. The rules for attending while wearing academic robes are extremely complicated, and the food is extremely unpalatable. college dinner.
Most of the time, he would go to Ye Gongchao or solve the problem in the small restaurants around the laboratory.
Chen Muwu’s third paper, which changed the correspondence address from the Qinghai Railway Administration to the University of Cambridge, has not been published yet, so except for professors and classmates in the Cavendish Laboratory, few people know that Chen Muwu has entered Attended Trinity College.
When Best asked this, Chen Muwu also looked a little confused.
Why recruit yourself to join the club? Just because of that dive just now?
Isn't this basic operation? What’s all the fuss about!
Chen Muwu was very realistic: "Well, I would like to ask, can this club help me in any way?"
Best promotes his club like a pyramid salesman: "Join the club and you can represent Cambridge University in swimming competitions. At the beginning of next month, our school will hold a joint sports meeting with Oxford University in London. In addition to The most famous sports include rowing, football, rugby, track and field and swimming. As long as you participate in the competition, you can get the honorary title of half blue. If you beat Oxford University, you can also get the honorary title of blue."
Half-Blues and Blues are one of the most prestigious honorary titles among Cambridge University students.
Likewise, both titles are awarded only to the highest-ranking athletes within the school.
What is left is to be knighted by the royal family, or become a member of the Royal Society, or win the Nobel Prize, etc...
This kind of honor can theoretically be obtained by students from Cambridge University, but it is estimated that before Chen Muwu arrived, it only existed in theory.
Of course, the highest-status student at Cambridge University should be an elusive member of the royal family. Prince Albert, Duke of York, who got married at Westminster Abbey in April, is a graduate of Cambridge University and is also married to Chen Muwu. Alumni of Trinity College.
Although according to rumors, this prince doesn't usually attend classes, and only has servants to sign in for him.
However, there are many students at Cambridge University now, like Blackett, who wear medals awarded to them by the army on their chests. These are proof of their bravery when they joined the army, set foot on the European battlefield and returned triumphantly.
However, compared with these very few students who have won medals, there are many more students who are sleeping in the ravines of the battlefield. The school has a serious shortage of students. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Old Thomson agreed to recruit Chen Muwu to the college.
In addition to being awarded medals, receiving special scholarships, and joining the Hawks' Club (Hawks' Club) for outstanding Cambridge athletes, blue title holders can also wear Cambridge's exclusive color, "Cambridge Blue" suits, and attend There was a lot of swagger on campus.
This is why those extremely majestic professors turn a blind eye to the athletes who come to class every time.
"Sorry, I don't want to join your club, sorry."
Best thought that no one would refuse the temptation of the blue title, but he did not expect that the famous Chen Muwu would give him a negative answer.
Chen Muwu also has his own ideas.
In his previous life, although he participated in the school swimming team, he was just a mediocre person who could surpass the 400-level first-class athlete line, but could never reach the athlete line.
Every time I represented my school in a domestic college swimming competition, I would always be beaten to a bloody pulp by those professional athletes.
Moreover, in the six months since he traveled back in time, although he has maintained the habit of morning jogging and morning exercises, Chen Muwu has never been in the water and has neglected to practice. He doesn't know to what extent his current level has dropped.
Let him participate in inter-university competitions now. If he gets poor results, it will be a small matter for him to be embarrassed, but a big matter for the country.
If it was like in the previous games, and he was left out of the spotlight by the greats, it is estimated that there would be a lot of boos at the scene, and the harsh title of "Sick Man of East Asia" would also linger in his ears.
You only need to make great progress in physics, there is no need to stumble in swimming and lose Maicheng.
However, what Chen Muwu didn't know was that his calculation was wrong this time.
…
After rejecting Best, Chen Muwu found an area with few people in the Cam River and swam several times heartily.
The feeling of being immersed in the water again made his whole body feel very relaxed, except for his eyes, which were not protected by swimming goggles.
Yes, although swimming goggles already existed, due to technical problems, swimming goggles in this period were basically wooden frames with glass pieces, which were easy to be damaged and water could enter. So in the vast majority of cases, people don't use it in swimming.
Fortunately, the natural water quality of the Cam River is relatively clean, and there is no residual bleaching powder left after disinfection, which would not cause Chen Muwu to suffer from pinkeye.
After finding a place with few water plants and climbing ashore, Chen Muwu felt refreshed after swimming for dozens of minutes. He felt that he should combine work and rest from time to time in the future, which might be more helpful to his thinking ability.
As the sun set, Chen Muwu left a long shadow on the bank of the Kang River, accompanying him as he moved forward slowly.
…
Time flies by and July is here in a blink of an eye.
Major events that have happened in the past month include that after Wuchitian, south of Xiaodu City, paid a large ransom, all the hostages in the Lincheng robbery that lasted nearly two months were released;
President Li Yuanhong was ousted from power by the Zhili clique warlords and fled from Beijing in a hurry;
U.S. President Harding left the White House and began a nationwide speaking tour. However, his speaking tour would never return and never come back;
The United Kingdom promulgated the "Oxford and Cambridge University Act", announcing that it would allocate 100,000 pounds to each of these two universities as education funding every year.
The only thing that should have happened this month but did not happen was the fire in the Jianfu Palace in the Forbidden City.
Best approached Chen Muwu several times in Cam River or the Cavendish Laboratory. Every time he invited him to join the club, he was always rejected by the latter.
Kapitsa and Blackett finally finished their busy work at the end of the semester and entered the summer vacation.
It is worth mentioning that Kapitsa received his PhD from Trinity College this summer, bidding farewell to his student days.
Blackett decided to stop playing the addictive game of mahjong.
Kapitsa, on the other hand, is just the opposite. Taking advantage of this summer vacation to visit relatives in his country, he plans to bring this fascinating game back to his home country.
The July issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences was sent to the Cavendish Laboratory the day after it was published.
