Anyway, the telegram from the legation did not cost him a penny, so Chen Muwu wrote a lot of words eloquently and introduced to his family in detail what the Nobel Prize was.
I don’t know if the domestic news papers didn’t report this matter. If it hadn’t been written on it, if I had invited him so rashly, and the sending address was Denmark, it would be easy for my elder brother to mistake him for something bad happened to his younger brother in Europe.
It was just a pain for the staff of the legation to send the telegram and the translator of the Sihai Telegraph Bureau. One had to translate every word written by Chen Muwu into four Arabic numeral telegraph codes, and the other had to translate these four The digits are translated into Chinese characters one by one.
There is no other way. Who asked the temporary charge d'affaires Xu Zhaoxiong to specifically explain that everyone should cooperate with the work of Chen Muwu, the new international champion?
In addition to sending such a long newspaper to his family, Chen Muwu also sent one to the University of Cambridge in the UK, Paris in France, and the University of Göttingen in Germany.
After receiving a call from the Nobel Prize Committee that day, Bohr volunteered to accompany Chen Muwu to Stockholm to attend his award ceremony.
Bohr did this on the one hand because Denmark and Sweden are really close, and a round trip only takes a few days.
On the other hand, he also wanted to win people's hearts, so that although Chen Muwu was in Northern Europe, he could feel the warmth of family in his heart.
In Copenhagen, in addition to Bohr, Oppenheimer, who loves to join in the fun, will naturally not miss this event.
However, Heisenberg and Pauli were going back to Germany together for Christmas.
It was the first time that Heisenberg had been away from home for so long. As a young man in his early twenties, Heisenberg must have really missed home.
Pauli feared and hated Chen Muwu in his heart, and he was afraid that after arriving in Sweden, he might see the "Swedish famous dish" sour herring in advance.
After Bohr's reminder, Chen Muwu thought that in addition to his family, he should also invite a few more good friends.
In the telegram sent to Cambridge, he left Kapitsa's address and name and asked him to ask if anyone at the school was willing to go to Sweden to observe the ceremony.
Chen Zhiqiang Muwu waved his hand in the telegram, indicating that he was willing to bear everyone's travel expenses.
Chen Muwu is rich now, but he thinks not many people will actually sign up.
After all, the award ceremony is on December 10th, which is very close to Christmas.
No one wants to leave their family and go abroad for a trip to Sweden during this most important holiday of the year.
Except, of course, Kapitsa.
Not only was he a loner with no relatives in Cambridge, he was also a Russian who did not celebrate Christmas in December on the Gregorian calendar.
Therefore, Chen Muwu sent a telegram to Kapitsa and asked him to bring two Chinese compatriots, Zhao Zhongyao and Shi Ruwei, to serve as the "tour guide" of this "tour group".
As for the one sent to Paris, it was of course addressed to de Broglie.
Anyway, I guess this young man is too bored, so why not ask him to take Ye Gongchao to Stockholm for a tour.
The reason why I specifically told him to bring my younger brother with me in the telegram is of course because Penguin Publishing House of the Apostolic Society has frantically sent a reminder letter to Copenhagen.
Chen Muwu decided to ask the board of directors to recruit a few professional publishers after returning to the UK. He could not allow these second-generation publishers to mess around.
Without the George Chen series, can't we publish other books?
For example, the not-yet-famous Agatha Christie is great, and Penguin Publishing has already been asked to sign her as soon as possible.
However, Chen Muwu had another deeper meaning in sending this telegram to Debroglie. Of course, he didn't just want him to bring Ye Gongchao with him, and he didn't know if this old man could have a tacit understanding with him.
Even with new friends, old friends must not be forgotten. The telegram sent to Göttingen was of course addressed to Blackett.
Although he has a Moseley Scholarship, the money is limited after all. It is estimated that Blackett still has to be careful in Germany and he will not go home this Christmas.
Chen Muwu funded an invitation to go to Sweden. After the awards ceremony, Blackett could just follow Kapitsa back to the UK with him and spend Christmas at his home in Islington, London, giving him something like "Love Actually" A surprise for people.
What his friend did was so considerate!
On the list of invitees that Chen Muwu listed for himself at the beginning, there was Einstein's name.
But after much thought, he finally did not go to Berlin to take this free telegram.
Chen Muwu didn't want to break up with Einstein just because he received a Nobel Prize in Physics. That might make him known as ungrateful, which was really not worth the gain.
Even though the legation's telegrams cost nothing, Chen Muwu knew that if he wrote so many words, the dispatcher would scold him behind his back.
The villain Yu Yili secretly gave the telegraph operator a tip of fifty Danish kroner in order to convey the message promptly and accurately.
Spend a little money to do big things, these three pounds are well spent.
If you went to the Great Northern Telegraph Office to send these telegrams, let alone three pounds, maybe three hundred pounds would not be enough!
Because Chen Muwu did not notify him in advance, he made a sudden and impromptu visit today, which caught Xu Zhaoxiong off guard.
Time was tight and he had no time to buy all kinds of food, so he could only ask the legation cook to use local ingredients.
Fortunately, there was no danger in the end. By the time Chen Muwu finished sending his several telegrams, the dinner party at the legation was basically completed.
Although there are no expensive ingredients, it is not too shabby in front of the guests!
Since Ye Gongchao left Cambridge, Chen Muwu had only eaten relatively authentic Chinese food at the embassies in the UK and Denmark.
This meal made him satisfied, and at a certain moment, Chen Muwu even had the idea of living in the legation every day for some time in the future.
But this approach may make Xu Zhaoxiong feel disgusted, and it may also make Bohr misunderstand: Could it be that he did not provide good hospitality, which made Chen Muwu leave the Institute of Theoretical Physics and move out?
In the end, he had no choice but to reluctantly leave the embassy. Before leaving, he didn't forget to ask the cook to pack another piece of braised pork for him.
…
Of course, the travel expenses for Wu Hai's family to Europe were paid by themselves, and Chen Muwu's telegrams to Britain and Germany also specifically stated that he personally paid for the round-trip travel expenses, food and accommodation.
However, Sweden has promised to cover all travel expenses for himself and a traveling companion.
And they also hinted repeatedly that the gender of this traveling companion would be preferably a woman.
So now the question arises, does Chen Muwu plan to spend this money on Bohr or Oppenheimer, and let one of them accompany him to sit in the Stockholm City Hall?
of course not.
Both Bohr, who dominated one side, and Oppenheimer, who was born into a family of wealthy Jewish businessmen, were not short of money.
The latter also proposed it right away and he would pay for the trip for everyone.
It was a pity that Heisenberg wanted to go home for Christmas, and Pauli didn't want to eat sour herrings, so they both rejected Oppenheimer's invitation.
In Chen Muwu's mind, he had already chosen a female companion for himself.
But he always felt that sending a telegram like someone else was a bit undignified, so he finally chose to write a handwritten letter to Eve without a typewriter.
He was careful in choosing words and sentences. He considered every word and sentence carefully for a long time, striving to make everything neither too harsh nor too excessive. Everything was on point and just right.
Before time travel, he had been using a computer keyboard, and after time travel, he had been using a typewriter. After the college entrance examination, Chen Muwu's writing skills began to decline.
He copied the letter more than once until he selected a version that he thought was well written.
Even after sending this handwritten letter, Chen Muwu still felt very uneasy.
In his opinion, the intention of writing this letter was Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone on the street knew it.
Being able to accompany others to Stockholm, Sweden, to witness him receiving the Nobel Prize in Physics must be a very special status.
Chen Muwu thought that the ice-snow and smart Ai Fu must be able to guess the purpose of this letter, and hoped that she would never reject him.
Of course, he had this selfish intention when he chose to send a telegram to de Broglie.
Marie Curie was too busy and certainly didn’t bother to come to Sweden to attend his award ceremony.
If Eve could really agree to his invitation, she couldn't let a little girl travel across Europe from south to north alone!
…
Telegrams have been sent to all parts of the world, and the only invitation letter has been sent.
After that, Chen Muwu will prepare the last thing before leaving for Stockholm, preparing his speech at the upcoming awards ceremony.
Generally speaking, this speech contains nothing more than several aspects.
Either provide an in-depth elaboration and explanation of the research you have won, and briefly introduce your award-winning research directions, methods and results, as well as their significance and impact on current related fields and human society.
But until now, Chen Muwu still doesn’t know why he won the award.
You can't tell the story from beginning to end about all the achievements you have made in more than a year, right?
Even if he wanted to, the organizers wouldn't do it.
After all, the King of Sweden and many distinguished guests were sitting in the audience. Everyone was waiting for the speech to end quickly so that they could eat in the banquet hall next to it!
Or just express gratitude to those who support their work.
Chen Muwu felt that this item must be added to his speech, because he met too many noble people along the way from Sihai to Europe.
In chronological order, there are also Einstein, Planck, Eddington, Rutherford, Old Thomson, Kapitsa, Blackett...
This list of names is endless. If it goes on forever, Chen Muwu thinks it will be worth at least a few starting coins.
He wrote down all the names of the people he could think of on paper, and decided to wait until then to see which people would go to Stockholm, and then praise and thank them emphatically.
Chen Muwu felt that his operation could be regarded as a precise strike.
The above two points are basically the entire content of the acceptance speeches of today's Nobel Prize winners.
In an era when political correctness was not a concern, no one would call for this or that all day long.
Could it be that if he, Chen Muwu, stood on the stage of Stockholm City Hall and called for world peace, I would be obedient?
Of course, there are always exceptions. For example, Bohr, the owner of the Institute of Theoretical Physics, made a big deal out of the award ceremony the year he won the Nobel Prize.
The King of Sweden has just finished awarding the 1921 Physics Prize winner Einstein through the air. The reason is that the light quantum theory he proposed successfully explained the phenomenon of the photoelectric effect.
As soon as Bohr, the winner of the 1922 Physics Prize, came on stage, he severely refuted the quantum theory of light as a fallacy. Light is a wave, an electromagnetic wave, and it is definitely not a photon.
However, at that award ceremony, Einstein happened to be giving lectures in Japan and China and did not attend, so he missed this very embarrassing scene.
Chen Muwu also wanted to do a big job like Bohr when delivering his acceptance speech at the award ceremony.
And this time the target of the whole job is still the unlucky Einstein.
Who told him to make a big tree attract the wind?
But unlike Bohr, he had no reason or basis, just unwarranted criticism, and in the end it was proved that he was wrong.
Chen Muwu is definitely justified this time, and he will never become a clown like Bohr afterwards.
So that day at the embassy, after thinking for a long time, he finally decided not to send the telegram to Einstein.
Because of problems in quantum mechanics such as probability waves and the uncertainty principle, Chen Muwu and Einstein were already somewhat unhappy.
If Einstein were invited to Stockholm again, another mistake of his would be pointed out in public at the world-famous Nobel Prize award ceremony.
Chen Muwu was afraid that Lao Ai would be so furious after hearing the news that he couldn't breathe and passed away.
That would be a big joke.
Having said so much, what exactly did Chen Muwu want to say when delivering his acceptance speech?
Of course it is the Big Bang theory that points out that the universe we live in is not static, but is constantly expanding!
Calculating the time, it is now the end of 1924. The American astronomer Hubble should have measured the distance of a series of "nebulae" such as Andromeda from the center of the Milky Way.
Relying on these calculated distances, people finally discovered that these "nebulae" are not within the Milky Way but outside it, and are galaxies with the same status as the Milky Way.
Chen Muwu wanted to know whether Hubble had published the data he calculated in an astronomical journal.
But astronomy is astronomy, and physics is physics.
There are absolutely no astronomy journals in the reading room of the Institute of Theoretical Physics, let alone American astronomy journals that are not popular.
So in the past few days, Chen Muwu asked Oppenheimer to go to the University of Copenhagen Observatory every once in a while to ask for the latest American astronomical journals.
Oppenheimer knew that his teacher Chen Muwu, in addition to physics, was also a good player in astronomy and had discovered the ninth planet in the solar system.
But when I was at Cambridge University, I never saw Chen Muwu go to the observatory, let alone read any astronomy journals.
He couldn't understand that the two people came all the way to Denmark and almost died on the way.
Why did Chen Muwu not continue to study quantum mechanics with Bohr, a senior, but instead suddenly started tinkering with astronomy?
Although he had doubts in his heart, Oppenheimer still ran back and forth between the observatory and the institute several times obediently, and brought back many journals and magazines one after another.
However, Chen Muwu had torn through all these journals and magazines, and Chen Muwu did not find the Hubble article that he had longed for.
Could it be that because of his time travel, the timeline has changed again?
He discovered the ninth planet in the solar system six years in advance, so he asked this astronomer not to observe the Andromeda Nebula, but to study the Huangdi Star?
Chen Muwu didn't believe this evil, so he decided to go to the University of Copenhagen Observatory to have a look.
Sorry, I have a fever. I can only grit my teeth and write here today, set a timer to post and go to bed.
After the fever subsides, you must replenish it. You must not open this hole and become a salted fish with four thousand appointments a day.
I originally saved a few pictures mentioned in this chapter, but since they are released on a regular basis, I can only add them after the fever subsides.
Sorry again.
