From the discovery of a new planet at the end of January, to the naming event held by the Cambridge University Observatory, to the International Union of Astronomers’ final determination that this is a planet and the name Huangdi Star was accepted...
Because of the Yellow Emperor Star incident, Chen Muwu spent more than a month on it.
What matter wave? Everything about electron diffraction was forgotten by him somewhere.
Then, Chen Muwu, who liked the new and disliked the old, soon received his retribution when an "old lover" came to his door.
…
One morning after the popularity of Huang Di Xing had dissipated, Chen Muwu had just stepped into the door of the Cavendish Laboratory when he saw Kapitsa, the No. 1 cow in Cambridge, chatting animatedly with a stranger.
The two switched back and forth between the four languages of English, Russian, French and body language, making gestures and guessing, which reminded Chen Muwu of an ancient variety show, "Lucky 52".
Sometimes he also admired Kapitsa. Although he couldn't speak any language well, and he couldn't even speak his native Russian fluently, but regardless of whether he could speak it or not, and whether others could understand it or not, Europe In several popular foreign languages, he always speaks freely.
Cambridge people created a new term for this purpose, called "Kapitsa", a language composed of roughly equal parts Russian, French and English.
Because the stranger had his back to the door, Chen Muwu did not see his face.
He greeted Kapitsa and wanted to enter the door of the Cavendish Laboratory through the gap on the side.
But when Kapitha saw Chen Muwu arriving, he pointed at him and said to the stranger: "Here, isn't the Chen Muwu you are looking for here?"
Chen Muwu hadn't realized what was going on, but as soon as the stranger heard his name, he immediately turned around and walked straight to Chen Muwu.
Before he could see his face clearly, he walked closer. The stranger stretched out his arms and hugged Chen Muwu enthusiastically.
That wasn't enough, he even brought his face closer and placed a kiss on Chen Muwu's left and right cheeks.
This directly caused Chen Muwu's brain to shut down, and his anus tightened. He didn't even say hello when he met. Why did he directly sexually harass him when he came up?
Still looking confused, he subconsciously thought that the other party was a British gay. He was still thinking that the corrupt country was indeed well-deserved, but he was a straight man.
In fact, unlike Chen Muwu's imagination, there are not many gays in the UK now, and even if there are, they are all secretly hidden underground.
Because now, this is still an illegal act. Wouldn’t Turing, the future father of artificial intelligence, be forced to commit suicide a few decades later?
But the University of Cambridge where he lives is rich in gays, and students with better family conditions have a higher proportion.
Because these young men have been studying in all-boys schools such as Eton and Harrow since they started school. When they arrived in Cambridge, they rarely saw girls in school.
Since the second stage of puberty, I have been surrounded by boys, and it is difficult not to think too hard about the people of the same sex around me.
It wasn't until the stranger introduced himself and said hello after a series of etiquettes that Chen Muwu realized that he had overthought himself. This man was not an Englishman, but an overly romantic Frenchman.
"Mr. Chen, I have long admired you. I am very happy to meet you. I am Louis, from the Broglie family in Paris, France. I have sent you several letters before."
The veneer ceremony is a traditional custom in France. In some places, it is simply done directly on the lips.
For de Broglie to achieve this level, he is already very elegant and very gentleman...
No, now is not the time to think about the veneer gift, right?
Didn’t you agree to go to France to do experiments? Why did the little prince come to Cambridge University in person?
Winning the Nobel Prize for his doctoral thesis gave Chen Muwu the illusion that de Broglie was very young when he won the prize.
But in fact, during World War I, de Broglie, who had obtained a bachelor's degree, joined the army. Relying on his family connections, he was arranged to work as a radio signal soldier on the Eiffel Tower for several years.
After the war ended and he retired from the army, de Broglie returned to school to study for a doctorate.
The little prince in front of him was already thirty-two years old. He was born in 1892, a full ten years older than Chen Muwu, and the hairline on both sides of his head had receded quite a bit.
Chen Muwu welcomed de Broglie into the Cavendish conference room. The French aristocrat did not dislike the smell of rotten milk and biscuits in this dark, damp, unheated conference room at all. He sat generously on the dirty chair opposite Chen Muwu.
"Sir, I have been waiting for your letter, but I didn't expect you to come to the UK in person."
De Broglie smiled: "Chen, you don't have to be so polite, just call me Louis. When I was in the United States, I had seen your name in many newspapers and magazines. You are really all over the world now." The world's hottest stars.
"I'm afraid that you will be too busy recently, and I don't have much to do recently, so after buying the instrument, I changed my ticket to Portsmouth and came to the UK with a vacuum pump to find you.
"However, it was not convenient to carry such a large item by train, so I left it with my servant in London. He should be able to find a car within a day or two to take the vacuum pump to Cambridge. "
Chen Muwu keenly captured the key point from de Broglie's words: "Your Excellency... Your Excellency Louis, did you go to the United States in person?"
"Yes, when I received your reply, there happened to be a housekeeper in the United States dealing with some matters, so I sent him a telegram and asked him to inquire about the relevant information of this vacuum pump.
"When he informed me that he had contacted General Electric, I went to the United States from Paris."
"You've worked really hard. Can I ask you how much this vacuum pump cost you?"
De Broglie smiled bitterly: "It's not much money. General Electric asked for eight thousand US dollars. We finally negotiated for just over six thousand dollars, and signed a contract with them to ensure that they would not use the vacuum pump in commercial competition. It’s just that the exchange rate of the franc is at a low price now, so I suffered a loss when exchanging currency.”
In recent times, the franc has also experienced a depreciation crisis.
Before World War I, one dollar was worth five francs.
After the war, it dropped to fifteen francs per dollar.
By the beginning of this year, one dollar had soared to a high price of twenty francs.
After the United States provided a large loan to Germany, it demanded that France withdraw its troops from the Ruhr area.
But the stubborn French refused this request, so the franc began to depreciate on a small scale at the beginning of the year. Up to now, it has reached one to twenty-seven US dollars against the franc.
So although de Broglie cut the price of vacuum pumps by a quarter, the U.S. dollar also appreciated by about a third against the franc. In this way, one rise and one fall (3/4*4/3=1). In fact, For the franc, it’s completely the same, and the price is even a little higher!
However, Chen Muwu realized that the fifteen hundred pounds he received after discovering the Yellow Emperor Star should now be enough to pay the six thousand US dollars.
He was thinking about whether he should also share a part for De Broglie?
It is really unbearable for De Broglie to be the one who was taken advantage of.
"Louis, after recently discovering a new planet, I also received a lot of bonuses. How about this vacuum pump, and each of us pays half of the money?"
"Chen, there is no need. You are alone in the UK and it is difficult to make a living. Leave the money issue to me. You just need to do the experiments. Now, can you take me to your laboratory to see one look?"
"Well... I don't have a laboratory yet. I'm going to apply to Mr. Chadwick to see if I can apply for one."
The laboratory is also one of Cavendish's scarce resources. The last time Chen Muwu did an experiment in an independent laboratory was the refraction of visible light.
Even Kapitsa, who had been promoted, still stayed in front of an experimental table in the open laboratory on the first floor, simply because the experiments he wanted to do now did not require any large instruments or a light-proof environment. .
…
Knowing that French guests were coming, Rutherford also came forward to receive de Broglie.
When these two people stand together, it's like a chicken and a duck.
A New Zealander with a loud voice and the other a French aristocrat sometimes couldn't understand each other, so Chen Muwu had to translate a few words for them.
Perhaps in order not to lose face in front of his French colleagues, Rutherford instructed Chadwick that afternoon to arrange an independent laboratory for Chen Muwu and de Broglie.
While cleaning the house, putting the vacuum electron diffraction tubes that had been installed long ago into the laboratory, and waiting for the vacuum pump to be shipped from London to Cambridge, Chen Muwu walked around the laboratory.
The name of Edmund Stoner was plastered on the door of a laboratory next to them.
Chen Muwu knew that Stoner, who was three years older than him, would be an expert in magnetism in the future. There was also a theorem named after him in the study of ferromagnets.
But now, it seems that he hasn't started studying magnetism yet. I don't know what experiments he is doing in the laboratory next door.
When he returned home in the evening, Chen Muwu asked his landlord, Mrs. Brown, if he could bring a new tenant home to stay for a few days.
Mrs. Brown heard that the visitor was a Frenchman and immediately agreed.
She was wondering if she could trick the Frenchman into cooking some French dishes for herself, but how did she know that this Frenchman was a French aristocrat who always brought servants with him when he went out?
As a result, de Broglie only stayed at Mrs. Brown's house for one night. The next day, he took the servant who transported the vacuum pump from London and stayed in the best hotel in Cambridgeshire.
In the Cavendish Laboratory, after not sleeping well all night, His Excellency the little prince, who had two dark circles under his eyes, did not forget to complain to Chen Muwu: "It's okay that the environment in the Cavendish Laboratory is bad, Chen, why do you even The environment where you live is so bad? It’s really hard for you to work and live here alone for more than a year!
"If you ask me, after you graduate, you can go to my brother's laboratory in France. Whether it is the experimental environment, accommodation conditions, or the taste of the food, it is much better than in the UK!"
This was said secretly in the small laboratory. If Rutherford heard it, he would definitely scold De Broglie for his poaching behavior.
After all, who doesn’t love a genius?
Thanks to Saddox for the large reward, and thanks to everyone for the rewards, monthly tickets and recommendation tickets. Thank you!
