Out of courtesy, Chen Muwu welcomed Heisenberg and Pauli into his room.
Although he himself was also a guest of the Institute of Theoretical Physics, Pauli, who traveled from Hamburg, Germany, to Copenhagen, Denmark, just to meet him, was more like a guest than Chen Muwu.
"Tea, please."
The tea was not brought to Denmark from the UK, but after Chen Muwu arrived at the Institute of Theoretical Physics, someone was sent from the Republic of China Embassy in Denmark in Copenhagen. It is said that they are all new tea leaves this year.
The visitor also brought a message from Xu Zhaoxiong, charge d'affaires of the Chinese Embassy in Denmark, inviting Chen Muwu to take some time to visit the Embassy.
Xu Zhaoxiong should now be the person in Denmark who most hopes that Chen Muwu can stay in Denmark.
He was even more willing than Bohr, because as long as Chen Muwu could stay in the country where he was serving as an envoy, it would mean promotion and wealth.
No matter how many times the foreign ministers in the country have changed, Zhu Zhaoxin, the charge d'affaires in the UK, has still been commended several times by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Even Chen Lu, the minister stationed in France, was commended by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for his logistical achievements because Chen Muwu won four gold medals at the Olympics.
This Chen Muwu is simply a ladder to the sky!
Although he regarded Pauli as his guest, apart from making tea, Chen Muwu did not show any other Chinese hospitality.
His attitude towards Pauli was completely different from his previous attitude towards Dirac.
After all, the latter used to be Chen Muwu's roommate, and the former was just an extremely arrogant Jew whom he had never met before.
And he was very sure that there could be no more errors in his paper.
Chen Muwu even ignored Pauli's barrage of questions and accusations when he first entered the door, and the subtext of him making tea himself was also very meaningful.
Chen Muwu was afraid that the two foreigners would not understand the implication, so he simply pointed out the meaning directly: "This is pure Chinese oolong tea, not the British method of adding sugar and milk.
"In China, tea has the effect of clearing away heat and eliminating internal heat. Mr. Pauli, you are too angry. Please calm down first."
At the Institute of Theoretical Physics, the language usage among scientists from different countries is complex.
Although Bohr, as the professor in charge, has always emphasized that Danish, the official language of Denmark, should be used here.
But after all, there are not many physicists in Denmark, and English and German are still the mainstream languages in the institute.
These talented young people from all over the world may only speak a few bad Danish words when they invite enthusiastic and generous local girls to dance at the ball.
Chen Muwu didn't want to learn another local language just because of a one- or two-month visit.
He even spoke German only a handful of times at the Institute of Theoretical Physics.
He only spoke German stumblingly a few times when he asked for directions after leaving the Copenhagen train station, and when chatting with Heisenberg during the welcome dance on the first night.
In addition, Chen Muwu has always spoken English in the institute.
Including the speech just now in front of two native speakers of German, Chen Muwu still spoke in English.
Heisenberg knew that Chen Muwu could speak German, and also knew the reason why he did not speak German now. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with his senior brother's recklessness when he first entered the door.
This has led to the current situation where Heisenberg, whose English is relatively poor, translates to Pauli, whose English is even worse, what Chen Muwu just said.
Even though he had already claimed to have found errors in Chen Muwu's paper when he entered the room, Pauli felt strange after hearing Chen Muwu's inconsistent answers.
Does this Chinese person not care at all about his own mistakes?
"Mr. Chen, I found an error in your paper (German)."
"Mr. Pauli, this is the best oolong tea, produced in a forced-to-establish province in China. Please try it while it's hot (English)."
Heisenberg once again translated Chen Muwu's answer into German, and Pauli finally felt that something was wrong.
Because from the beginning to the end, his junior brother Heisenberg had always unilaterally translated Chen Muwu's answers into German for him, but he did not translate a word of his own questions to the Chinese opposite him.
In other words, he must understand what he is saying, he just doesn't want to reply in German!
This is a bit too much.
Pauli, who had a hot temper, punched the coffee table in front of him: "Mr. Chen, you are too disrespectful! I am your guest who came all the way from Germany!"
After receiving such a violent shock, the tea in the cup overflowed.
"It's a pity that such good tea leaves are so good." After speaking the last sentence in English nonchalantly, Chen Muwu finally switched to German, "Mr. Pauli, just because I treat you as a guest, I brewed it for you according to the etiquette of my hometown. This cup of tea.
“Now, please think carefully, who in this room started to be disrespectful?
"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll teach you one more Chinese etiquette, that is, if the host keeps inviting guests to drink tea, it means that he wants you to get out of here!"
Pauli, who has always been arrogant and arrogant, did not expect that the Chinese people in front of him were actually very bad-tempered. They were completely different from the groveling people he had seen in Germany.
After hearing what Chen Muwu said, Pauli also realized that he had gone too far from the moment he entered the room.
But Chen Muwu's last words clearly made him angry again. If he gave in now, he might lose face in front of his junior brother Heisenberg.
The arrow is on the string and must be fired.
Since you can't gain any advantage with words, you can only take action.
Seeing that his senior brother was about to have a seizure, Heisenberg, who had finally resigned from the translation job, quickly stopped him.
"Wolfgang, don't do this."
But hurrying slowly, Heisenberg was still one step late.
Pauli stood up from his chair and already waved his fist at Chen Muwu.
At the University of Cambridge in England, people's daily activities include rowing on the Cam River, playing golf, and watching cricket matches, which is in line with their status as gentlemen.
But in the martial German universities, the favorite sport among students was fencing.
If you look at photos from the early twentieth century, you will find that Germans have surprisingly many scars on their faces compared to other countries.
These are the scars left by fencing, the so-called man's honor.
Although there were no scars on Pauli's face, he still had fierce and aggressive blood flowing in his body.
Chen Muwu was really not afraid of Pauli attacking him.
After all, before traveling through time, he had briefly studied the Mad Dog Fist of his master Chen Hegao out of curiosity.
After the beating incident of Mr. Ye Gongchao last year, he learned several martial arts moves from Mr. Ye Gongchao, the then number one kung fu master in Cambridge.
Although there are not many in number, their moves are all capable of winning by surprise.
Even without the martial arts skills of the triangle cat, Chen Muwu believed that he could defeat this little Jew with only his height, wingspan, and muscles developed through regular exercise.
The situation was exactly as he expected, completely one-sided.
After only a few rounds, Chen Muwu had Pauli pinned beneath him.
Like Wu Erlang riding on the back of a tiger on Jingyanggang, he raised his fist and tried to hit Pauli's body at non-vital parts.
"Mr. Chen, stop fighting, stop fighting, Wolfgang is a nice guy, he just has this temper!"
Heisenberg, who had just tried to stop Pauli to no avail, was stamping his feet anxiously.
But he didn't dare to step forward to start a fight, for fear that Chen Muwu would accidentally hurt him.
Suddenly there was a strange ding-ding-dong-dong sound upstairs, which alerted Bohr who was resting on the second floor.
He suddenly realized that in the room directly above his head lived Chen Muwu, his most valued guest in the entire Institute of Theoretical Physics.
Could it be that something happened to his junior brother?
How can I explain this to teacher Rutherford!
Bohr hurried out of the room, ran up the stairs to the third floor, and went straight to the door of the guest room where Chen Muwu lived.
Then he saw someone lying on the ground.
It's just that the person lying down is not Chen Muwu, but the person sitting on top of him, punching people with his fists.
When Bohr entered the house and approached the crime scene, he discovered that the person being beaten by his junior brother was his former assistant, Pauli.
"Chen, stop it! What happened?"
Seeing that Bohr had already alarmed downstairs, he achieved the effect he wanted.
Chen Muwu slowly stood up from Pauli, and his feet accidentally touched the Jew's belly again.
"Professor Bohr, Mr. Pauli and I have no grievances in the past and have no enmity in recent times. I don't know why, but he started provoking me crazily as soon as he entered the door today.
"He even tried to hit me just now. I had no choice but to defend myself. Mr. Heisenberg saw all this clearly from the sidelines and he can testify for me."
Chen Muwu's face remained calm and his heart did not beat. After all, everything he said was true.
Heisenberg complained in his heart, how could you have the nerve to say such a thing, but his body had already squatted on the ground to check whether Pauli's injuries were serious.
"Werner, what is going on? Wolfgang, when did you come to Copenhagen? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
It was difficult for Bohr to balance this bowl of water. On one side was the guest he invited, and on the other side was one of his favorite and most respected students.
With Heisenberg's help, Pauli had climbed up from the floor.
His injuries were not serious in fact. Chen Muwu was merciful in every way.
But the main reason was that Pauli, who had always shown himself to be proud because he couldn't care about face, had one eye socket a little red and the other a little blue.
This is of course Chen Muwu's masterpiece.
Only on this punch, he used a little more force.
It was this first punch that allowed Chen Muwu to successfully knock down Pauli.
Looking at the situation in front of him, Bohr probably understood what had just happened.
Chen Muwu has always been gentle and gentle in Copenhagen, and he definitely doesn't look like a troublemaker.
Pauli had been Bohr's assistant at the Institute of Theoretical Physics for more than a year. Bohr knew very well how prickly he was.
Unexpectedly, he had already left Denmark and returned to Germany, and he could still get himself into trouble.
But now was not the time for the three-court trial. Bohr could only ask Heisenberg to send Pauli to the Affiliated Hospital of the University of Copenhagen for a physical examination.
It's better to wait until they come back to understand the ins and outs of the matter.
After leaving the battle, Chen Muwu quickly returned to the humble gentleman he was before, as gentle as jade.
He even found a new cup and made Bohr a cup of tea.
"I'm sorry to disturb your rest, Professor Bohr."
Chen Muwu saw Bohr's home clothes.
Bohr, on the other hand, lamented Chen Muwu's strong psychology. He had just finished making love with others, and in the blink of an eye he became so calm and relaxed.
"Wolfgang is such a grumpy person. You must never get along with him."
"Professor Bohr, don't worry, I won't take this matter seriously. Anyway, experiments have proved that he can't beat me."
Bohr's next words of advice to Chen Muwu were choked by the latter's reply.
He could only sigh: "Hey, Chen, just rest well here. After Wolfgang is discharged from the hospital, I will bring him to you to apologize."
After Bohr left, Chen Muwu lay on the bed and thought carefully about whether there were any errors in his paper.
But after going through it from beginning to end in his mind, he couldn't find what Pauli wanted to say.
It was already time for afternoon classes. Chen Muwu sat up from the bed, straightened his clothes, went down to the first floor with his lesson plan, and came to the lecture hall.
Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.
Ping ping pong made such a big noise at noon, it was difficult for others to know about it.
Although they did not dare to go outside Chen Muwu's room to see what happened inside, they could all make a guess after seeing Heisenberg carrying Pauli out of the room.
One spreads to ten, and ten spreads to a hundred.
In the eyes of the students in the audience, Chen Muwu became increasingly mysterious.
In the evening, Oppenheimer returned to the institute after being out all day.
As soon as he learned about the fight, he rushed to his teacher's room.
Putting down the materials he borrowed for Chen Muwu from the University of Copenhagen Observatory, Oppenheimer carefully looked up and down the teacher's body.
If he found any minor skin injury, Oppenheimer would definitely go to that unknown person to fight for his life.
Pauli, who had his body checked at Copenhagen University Hospital, was fine.
But for safety reasons, Bohr did not arrange for him to stay in the only empty room on the third floor of the institute. Instead, Heisenberg took Pauli to a hotel in the city to stay overnight.
He was afraid that if two people he couldn't deal with happened to meet in the corridor, they would start fighting over a disagreement.
…
The next day's quantum mechanics lecture was temporarily canceled, and Bohr called Chen Muwu, Pauli and Heisenberg into his office.
He intended to try to resolve the issues between the two young men at the Institute of Theoretical Physics just as Charles Dawes had mediated the reparations conflict between Germany and France.
Oppenheimer, who was worried, also entered the office and stayed by Chen Muwu's side at all times.
As soon as they met, Pauli walked up to Chen Muwu with his head lowered and apologized in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Mr. Chen, I was impulsive yesterday, and I'm really sorry."
Chen Muwu found the funny situation in front of him a bit funny, and wondered whether his apology was sincere.
Was it a last resort after being persuaded by Bohr and Heisenberg?
Or are you afraid of being beaten by yourself?
Chen Muwu even thought about the worst last night. If Pauli called the police, how would he respond?
But it wouldn't be a big deal if he actually called the police. Although he did beat a white man, this white man was also a Jew.
In the eyes of the noble Danish police, this fight could only be regarded as a dog-eat-dog fight.
Even because Chen Muwu has a greater reputation, maybe the police will be more biased towards him.
In addition, with Bohr coming forward, Denmark must not dare to throw itself into prison.
Even deportation was unlikely to happen, because Bohr wanted to stay in Copenhagen to teach, and it was absolutely impossible for such a penalty to occur.
"Mr. Pauli, I accept your apology."
After saying this, Chen Muwu wanted to stop.
But seeing Bohr constantly winking at him, he had no choice but to betray his senior brother and give Pauli a step up: "Mr. Pauli, I seem to have struck too hard, please bear with me."
"You are all young people. Now that you have said everything, it is over. No one can take it seriously, let alone hold grudges. Let's shake hands together!"
This time, Pauli's handshake was not as perfunctory as the first time.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Chen Muwu has the upper hand this time.
However, Bohr had to take into account the mental health of his proud student Pauli, so he had to beat up Chen Muwu in an attempt to gain some face for Pauli.
“However, Chen, Wolfgang also told me the reason why he came to Copenhagen this time.
"He was reading your paper in Germany before, and he wanted to discuss some issues with you. He originally wanted to publish a paper and communicate with you remotely.
"But it happened that Werner wrote to him and told him that you had come to Denmark from the UK, so he thought it would be better to meet you, so he rushed from the University of Hamburg to the Institute of Theoretical Physics."
Hearing Bohr mention himself, Heisenberg lowered his head in embarrassment.
He had always been close to his fellow seniors. When he came to Copenhagen to work under Bohr, he also listened to Pauli's opinions.
Although they were separated in two places, the communication between the two people never stopped. They exchanged trivial matters in daily life, as well as discussions and insights on the frontiers of physics from time to time.
Heisenberg also did not expect that Pauli would rush over from Germany after learning that Chen Muwu had come to Copenhagen.
Bohr continued: "Wolfgang came here not to have a fight with you, but to really discover the problems in your paper.
"He studied your second paper on the wave equation. In the third equation, you did solve the problem of negative probability in the second equation. Is it just that this negative energy always exists in the third equation? Solution.
"Wolfgang came all the way to Copenhagen just for this matter. He believes that negative energy does not exist, which only means that there is something wrong with your third equation.
"Dr. Chen, do you have anything to say about his question?"
I have to say that Pauli was really smart.
But it was also because of his intelligence that he developed his arrogant character.
After Chen Muwu finished writing his second paper on the wave equation, he was busy giving lectures to people at the Kapitsa Club and the Cavendish Laboratory, putting this paper aside.
He actually did it on purpose, wanting to see how people would react after receiving negative energy solutions again.
Unexpectedly, it was Pauli who found the solution to negative energy first, and was beaten by Chen Muwu for it.
What else can the negative energy solution be?
Although energy cannot be negative, the charge of electrons can be "negative"!
"Professor Bohr, it turns out that this is what Mr. Pauli said. I saw him so arrogant yesterday, and I thought he had found some great mistake!
“Of course negative energy exists, and I think negative energy corresponds to negative energy levels.
“The vacuum is like the ocean, full of negative energy levels.
“It’s just that the sea is not filled with sea water, but with electrons.
"But for some reason, we can't see electrons that are in the negative energy level."
Chen Muwu didn't care about the expressions of the other four people in the office. Sitting on the sofa, he crossed his legs and continued: "If the electrons in the negative energy level absorb energy, they will jump to the positive energy level and become electrons that we can observe.
"At the same time, the departure of the electron will also create a 'hole' in the negative energy level.
"Because charge and energy are both conserved, if there is one less negatively charged electron in the vacuum, there will be one more positively charged electron. In other words, this 'hole' is positively charged, and its electric charge is one element. charge.
"And because there is less 'negative energy' in the vacuum, there will be more 'positive energy'. In other words, this 'hole' has positive energy.
"If you reverse this process, the electron will jump from the positive energy level to the negative energy level, and it will release energy. At the same time, it will combine with the extra 'hole' with positive charge and positive energy in the vacuum, allowing the vacuum to return again. for a vacuum.”
"Mr. Chen, since you said that this 'hole' has a positive charge, does that mean that this 'hole' should be a proton?"
Heisenberg on the side was the first to react.
The reason why he said it is a proton is because now, people only know that protons are positively charged, and their electric charge is one element charge.
Chen Muwu shook his head: "I don't think it's necessarily a proton. Maybe it's a new particle that hasn't been discovered by humans yet. It has the same mass as an electron, but has the opposite charge.
"I think we can call it 'anti-electron', or 'positron', or even 'positron'!"
