Chen Muwu felt that Ehrenfest persuaded him to meet Einstein, which was very similar to his elder brother Chen Muqiao.
He said that he could not understand several papers he had published in the "Annals of Physics", but his subsequent words still showed that Ehrenfest was on Rainstein's side, that is, he did not want to admit that Chen Muwu Several concepts proposed in quantum mechanics are correct.
Chen Muwu did not expect that he had deliberately bypassed Germany and came to the Netherlands, but he could still meet Einstein's lobbyists here.
Chen Muwu was thinking about when his academic prestige would reach the level of Einstein. No matter where he went, his followers would spontaneously help him praise him.
However, it was impossible to meet in person. Chen Muwu never believed that after the interview with Einstein, this somewhat stubborn middle-aged man would give up the prejudices he had always insisted on and admit the correctness of quantum mechanics.
Chen Muwu could only refuse Ehrenfest's invitation with the excuse that his schedule was very full and he could not stay in Leiden for a few days, let alone take a trip to Germany.
He also said that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely make these things clear to Dr. Einstein in person.
At the same time, Chen Muwu felt that he must not stay in the Netherlands for too long, otherwise Ehrenfest might really write a letter calling Einstein to the Netherlands, and then he would have to meet him even if he didn't want to.
After spending one night at Ehrenfest's house, Chen Muwu refused the host's invitation to take him around Leiden when he woke up the next day.
He was a guest and hoped to ask Ehrenfest to take his eldest brother to visit Leiden University and meet and chat with professors, teachers and classmates.
After all, Chen Muqiao's trip abroad was semi-official in nature, to attend his brother Chen Muwu's Nobel Prize award ceremony. At the same time, he also applied for funding from Nanyang University, saying that he wanted to study education in various European countries.
Previously, Chen Muqiao went west and visited several universities in Sulian, Sweden and Denmark.
Now it was justifiable for his eldest brother to take action, and Chen Muwu could also avoid Ehrenfest's persuasion.
After leaving Ehrenfest's home, Chen Muwu took Oppenheimer with him and went directly to the low-temperature physics laboratory of Lai Duan University.
There was one person left at Ehrenfest's house, and it is needless to say what he was doing there.
The current director of the Low Temperature Physics Laboratory of Leiden University, William Hendrick Kitsom, greeted Chen Muwu and Oppenheimer at the door.
He was a student of Kamalin Onnes and took over as director of the laboratory after the latter's retirement.
"Dr. Chen, congratulations on winning the Nobel Prize in Physics, and welcome you to visit the Low Temperature Physics Laboratory of Leiden University."
"Thank you, Mr. Kitham."
Among the welcoming crowd standing behind Kithem was Yoshio Nishina, who left Copenhagen for the Netherlands more than a month ago.
He has now entered this low-temperature physics laboratory to work and study.
Yoshio Nishina was very happy to meet Chen Muwu again at Leiden University. He believed that this Chinese did not hide anything from him, and he should really believe that low-temperature physics and superconducting effects are the mainstream direction of future physics.
Otherwise, Chen Muwu would not have received the Nobel Prize in Physics. After receiving the Nobel Prize in Physics, the first stop on his return journey was the Netherlands.
"Sir Chen Muwu, I am very happy to see you again in the Netherlands. First of all, congratulations on winning this year's Nobel Prize in Physics. You have really brought glory to us Asians this time, proving that Asians are no better than white people in Europe and America. Even if you are poor, you can still achieve the top results in physics.
"The content of your speech at the Nobel Prize Ceremony was also very interesting. This conclusion is no less than the 'heliocentric theory' proposed by Copernicus hundreds of years ago. If everything is as you said, then maybe we have to understand the universe There’s a renewed awareness.”
Chen Muwu didn't want to say polite words to him, so he went straight to the point: "Mr. Nishina, I am very happy to see that you have started to engage in research on low-temperature physics.
"Is it inconvenient for you to tell me what work you have done recently? How is the research on the superconductivity of element 81 going?"
Hearing this question, Yoshio Nishina was a little embarrassed: "Well... Dr. Chen, I have only been here at Leiden University for more than a month. I am currently observing training in the laboratory. I also need to further understand and master experimental techniques and learn laboratory operations. Only after standardization can you do experiments yourself.”
"Okay, then I hope you will continue to work hard and strive to be able to invest in experimental research as soon as possible."
"Yes! I will definitely continue my efforts and strive to bring glory to us East Asians like you, Dr. Chen!"
Chen Muwu was a little disappointed. He thought Yoshio Nishina had already come into contact with thallium, a wonderful and magical metal element.
Unexpectedly, the truth was far from what he thought.
The Netherlands, which borders Germany, is still within the sphere of influence of white Europeans.
As a yellow man from the Far East, Yoshio Nishina still vaguely felt that he was being discriminated against by the Omi monsters in the laboratory even after arriving in the Netherlands.
He had only been in the Low Temperature Physics Laboratory for more than a month, and he was the one being discriminated against. Naturally, no one would let Yoshio Nishina conduct experimental research so quickly.
Now Yoshio Nishina was so attentive that after greeting Chen Muwu, he took over as his substitute, skipping William Hendrik Kitholm, the director of the Low Temperature Physics Laboratory, and consciously acted as Chen Muwu's guide.
Yoshio Nishina began to introduce him to various situations in the laboratory, and naturally he had some subtle thoughts in it.
Now Chen Muwu, the Nobel Prize winner in Physics from the Far East with him, has come to Leiden University. If he and he show a close relationship, then these white people will probably look down on him in the future, right?
Therefore, Yoshio Nishina bowed his eyebrows in front of Chen Muwu, treated him respectfully, and brought out his personal characteristics to the fullest.
Under Yoshio Nishina's introduction, Chen Muwu followed him and took a tour of the low-temperature physics laboratory.
Compared with the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge, this laboratory at Leiden University is small and sophisticated. They only focus on the specialized branch of physics, low-temperature physics, and after more than ten years of construction, it has Remarkable results have been achieved.
The entrance to the laboratory began to become lively again, and Director Kitham appeared there accompanied by a bald old man with a long white beard.
The visitor was none other than Professor Kamerlin Onnes, the founder of the Low Temperature Physics Laboratory of Leiden University, the discoverer of the superconducting effect, and the 1913 Nobel Prize winner in physics.
The old man is seventy-one years old and has been retired at home for more than a year. After learning about Chen Muwu's arrival today, he made a special trip back to his former workplace to talk to the newly minted Nobel Prize winner in physics. meet up.
After the two met, they exchanged pleasantries as usual. Onness's first sentence was still to congratulate Chen Muwu for winning this year's Nobel Prize in Physics.
Chen Muwu has heard it three times today just to congratulate him on winning the Nobel Prize.
He felt that after leaving the Netherlands and arriving in France, he still had to be congratulated like this by many people.
When I finally returned to England, the scene would be repeated again.
After the polite conversation was over, the first question Onness asked was, of course, inseparable from the industry he has been working in for decades.
"Dr. Chen, do you really think that the future development direction of physics will be in superconducting research?"
Well.
Not only Onnes, Kithem, and Yoshio Nishina, but the entire teachers, students, and staff in the Low Temperature Physics Laboratory were all looking forward to hearing Chen Muwu’s answer.
Chen Muwu didn't expect that Yoshio Nishina was really sincere. Did he tell everyone in the laboratory what he had lied to him about?
Alas, if you tell a lie, you have to use ten lies to cover it up.
Fortunately, Chen Muwu came to Leiden University specifically this time just to continue to deceive Nishina Yoshio while buying equipment.
So he didn't have any psychological burden when he lied. He just felt a little sorry for the old man opposite him. Before he died, he had to be lied to again.
“Professor Onness, I certainly think that the study of low-temperature physics and superconducting effects is an important direction for the future development of physics.
“Otherwise, I wouldn’t have made a special trip to Leiden University after receiving the Nobel Prize this time.
"To tell you the truth, I came to your low-temperature physics laboratory this time for a visit and inspection. At the same time, I also wanted to take away some experimental equipment from here and purchase a batch of liquid nitrogen from the factory attached to the laboratory. , liquid hydrogen and other low-temperature liquids, and bring them back to the UK for experimental research.”
Chen Muwu actually told the truth.
The low-temperature physics laboratory at Leiden University can be regarded as a model for industry, academia and research.
Before Onnes established the current ultra-large low-temperature physics laboratory in 1904, Leiden University had established a large liquefied gas plant in 1894.
He and James Dewar of England, the man who invented the Dewar flask, the predecessor of the thermos flask, competed to see who could be the first to liquefy hydrogen and helium, the only two remaining unliquefied gases. As a result, Dewar was the first to liquefy hydrogen in 1898, and Onness was the first to liquefy helium, the last unliquefied gas in the world, in 1908.
Onnes's reputation as the discoverer of liquid helium greatly increased sales and production of the liquefied gas plant at Leiden University.
In addition, the insulation technology is very mature, and now this factory can supply more than 80% of low-temperature liquid gases such as liquid hydrogen, liquid helium, liquid oxygen, etc. to laboratories in European universities.
Sometimes, if this low-temperature gas is not needed in large quantities, it is undoubtedly much more convenient to purchase it directly from the liquefied gas factory of Leiden University than to cool it down and liquefy it in your own laboratory.
Chen Muwu's main purpose of coming to Leiden University this time is to get acquainted with the experimental equipment in the low-temperature physics laboratory, briefly understand and learn the experimental operation procedures, and then consider purchasing some refrigeration equipment, as well as a batch of liquid hydrogen and Liquid helium.
But he only has the intention now, and it is impossible to pay for it on the spot.
Because Rutherford didn't know about it, he couldn't free up a special room in the Cavendish Laboratory for him to use as a special low-temperature laboratory and place these equipment.
Chen Muwu had to go back and discuss with his teacher, and then purchase the corresponding instruments and materials from Leiden University by writing a letter or sending a telegram.
He wants to buy these things, and research on superconductivity is one aspect.
But the real purpose is the liquid hydrogen mixed behind the liquid nitrogen and inadvertently lifted up.
"Okay, since Dr. Chen you are so optimistic about the prospects of low-temperature physics, I think you should not go back to the UK at all and just stay at Leiden University in the Netherlands," Onness said with a smile, "That's right. I’m not bragging, but among the low-temperature physics laboratories in the world, this one at Leiden University must be the best. Even those wealthy American universities across the ocean don’t have as good equipment as ours.”
Okay, here comes another poacher.
But it is of course impossible to stay in the Netherlands.
First of all, Chen Muwu said that superconductivity will be the mainstream in the future, which is simply a lie to Yoshio Nishina.
Secondly, Chen Muwu didn’t want to learn another Dutch language.
Finally, although the Netherlands also calls itself a neutral country, as a neighbor of Germany, both Denmark and the Netherlands were occupied by Germany during World War II and became victims of the "Manstein Plan".
"Professor Onnes, thank you for your invitation. This laboratory at Leiden University, regardless of the equipment, laboratory management, and everyone working in it, left a very good impression on me. But Luther Sir Fu is kind to me, and I can't abandon him now after just achieving some results.
"However, I would like to boldly recommend someone to you..."
Hearing what Chen Muwu said, Oppenheimer couldn't help but pricked up his ears.
His two Chinese classmates, because of their studies, followed Kapitsa back to the UK as early as after the award ceremony.
The only student following Chen Muwu now is himself.
Teacher Chen suddenly wanted to recommend someone to Onnes. Who else could he recommend to Onnes besides himself?
Thinking of this, Oppenheimer felt a little uneasy.
I have long tried my best to get rid of my reckless personality, and I have been cautious recently, just to stay with Chen Muwu and learn more knowledge from him.
Logically speaking, he should have not offended the teacher. Why did Chen Muwu push himself out here?
But after hearing what his teacher said next, Oppenheimer put a hanging heart in his stomach.
"...Mr. Nishina, please come here."
Chen Mu looked very enthusiastic, and Yoshio Nishina, who I had just been explaining to him about the laboratory, called to his side.
"Professor Onnes, Mr. Yoshio Nishina, on my recommendation, just recently left Professor Bohr's Institute of Theoretical Physics in Copenhagen and came to Leiden University to study superconducting effects.
"Now that we know the superconducting critical temperatures of mercury and lead, I was curious about the critical temperature of thallium, which is sandwiched between these two elements.
“I told Mr. Nishina about this matter in Denmark, and after he listened to what I said, he left there and came to Leiden, wanting to engage in superconducting research on thallium element.
"Mr. Ren Ke, like me, is an Asian from the Far East. He also has a hard-working and persevering character. I think you can give him a chance in the laboratory, and maybe he will give you a big surprise in return."
Oppenheimer was puzzled.
Didn't Chen Muwu say that he didn't like me? Why are you so enthusiastic now?
Yoshio Nishina burst into tears.
This Chen Muwu, he really does what he says.
I told myself before in Copenhagen that superconductivity would be the mainstream of the future. At that time, I still judged a gentleman with a villain's heart, thinking that he was a supporter with malicious intentions.
Unexpectedly, he not only came to Leiden University in person to inquire about low-temperature physics and planned to purchase corresponding instruments, but also recommended himself to the person in charge of the laboratory in a high-spirited manner.
Yoshio Nishina feels that those "Analects of Confucius"
The benevolent gentlemen mentioned in ancient Chinese books such as "Mencius" and "Mencius" are just like Chen Muwu, right?
Yoshio Nishina is now even more convinced that superconducting effects and low-temperature physics are indeed very promising.
He secretly determined that he must continue to work hard as Chen Muwu said, and strive to be able to conduct experiments by himself as soon as possible to find the critical temperature of the superconducting effect of thallium metal, so as not to embarrass the East Asians.
"Dr. Chen, your point of view is very novel. We have indeed not studied the element thallium, but we can give it a try."
Of course Onness is willing to give Chen Muwu this face.
Although he has retired and is no longer the director of the laboratory, he still has great authority in front of his students and disciples.
Onnes said to Kitham who was following him: "William, since Dr. Chen has said this, please respect his opinion and give this young man who is also from East Asia a chance."
"Thank you Professor Onnes."
The excited Yoshio Nishina shouted louder than Chen Muwu who spoke in unison with him.
…
Chen Muwu and Oppenheimer spent the whole day in the low-temperature physics laboratory, waiting until dark before attending the Nobel Prize celebration banquet specially organized by Leiden University for Einthoven and Chen Muwu, who arrived unexpectedly.
At this dinner, Chen Muwu once again met an old acquaintance, Lorenz, who had once questioned his proposed electron spin violation of the theory of relativity.
Lorenz is the same age as Onnes who came to the scene. This old man, who is also 71 years old, saw Chen Muwu again and felt very emotional. This young man has climbed up in physics so fast.
I had just noticed him at the end of last year, and had written to Rutherford of the Cavendish Laboratory several times to communicate, and then sent him a special invitation letter to the Solvay Conference.
After that, he continued to make great progress and achieved more unexpected results and conclusions in microphysics.
Now, Lorenz's feelings towards Chen Muwu can be said to be one of love and hate.
What I love is that the electron spin proposed by Chen Muwu at that everyone's meeting did solve the anomalous Zeeman effect that he had not been able to explain before.
The reasons for hatred are complex.
At the beginning, after Chen Muwu published his first paper on the wave equation, Lorenz, who was excellent in mathematics, discovered a problem after reading the paper.
Because in this paper, Chen Muwu did not give a specific explanation of the wave function.
So Lorentz, just like Schrödinger, considered the particles to be the wave packets of this wave.
After calculation, he concluded that I includes diverging with time, which is completely contrary to the stability of electrons observed in experiments.
Just when Lorenz was about to write a letter to Chen Muwu or publish a paper to raise the issue he discovered, he read the paper Chen Muwu published after he compiled the contents of the probability wave lectures.
Like Einstein, Lorenz was a true believer in the law of causality and did not believe that the probability of electrons appearing was random.
As he got older, he did not even agree with the theory of relativity. Even though Einstein used it everywhere in his papers on the special theory of relativity, Lorenz first derived the formula mathematically and named the Lorentz transformation after him.
This resulted in Lorenz wearing a wry smile when he shook hands with Chen Muwu and greeted him.
"Dr. Chen, we met again after half a year.
“In the past six months, you have brought many very shocking ideas to the physics community.
"Some of these views I agree with, but some challenge my bottom line again and again. I will never believe that so-called science can still be consistent with objective facts.
"Sometimes I wonder why I am still alive. I only regret that I did not die half a year ago. At least the physical concepts you proposed at that time were still cute, and you helped solve the problem of the anomalous Zeeman effect, and The nasty stuff like probability waves hasn’t been brought up yet.”
It's not like that, it's really not like that.
Chen Muwu really couldn't accept the words Lorenz said.
He is now in his seventies, unlike Einstein, who was in his forties and in his prime.
It is impossible for Chen Muwu to continue to stimulate the aging Lorenz like he did with Einstein.
He was afraid that he would do something extraordinary and cause this world-famous physicist to die a few years early.
Chen Muwu also complained about Lorenz in his heart.
Confucius once said, "When you are seventy, you should follow your heart's desires without going beyond the rules."
He is also an old man in his seventies. His master, Old Thomson, either plays golf or watches cricket matches every day. He never cares about the latest advances in physics.
Even if he later learned that Chen Muwu said that electrons are a kind of wave, Old Thomson just smiled.
Anyway, in his understanding, the electron he discovered can only be a kind of particle, so you can say whatever you like!
"Professor Lorenz, you don't have to be like this. I just put forward a hypothesis to describe the movement of electrons. As I said when I originally wrote matrix mechanics, we can't yet observe how electrons move. , so the truth may not necessarily be the case.”
Chen Muwu racked his brains, trying to find comforting words in his brain.
If he had known that this would happen at tonight's banquet, he would have rushed to France overnight and never stayed in the Netherlands for one more night.
Everything about the trip to Leiden was over. Chen Muwu originally planned to leave the Netherlands for France the next day. After spending Christmas in Paris, he would return to Cambridge University for New Year's Day.
However, his eldest brother Chen Muqiao suddenly decided to go to The Hague, twelve kilometers away from Leiden, to visit an old friend, Wang Chonghui, who was serving as an alternate judge at the Permanent Court of International Justice and a member of the Committee for the Revision of International Law.
While Chen Muwu lamented that his eldest brother had really wide connections, he could only agree to accompany his eldest brother, who did not understand foreign languages, to The Hague to meet with the legal expert, and then return south to Paris.
After all this trouble, the four finally arrived at the train station in Paris, France on the night of December 23rd.
This time, de Broglie did not come to pick them up. He only sent a driver who knew Ye Gongchao. The driver sent the four people directly to de Broglie's home.
Now, the one who is more nervous than Chen Muwu is Chen Muqiao.
He complained quietly in his heart, why did his brother insist on finding a foreign wife, and he would meet his mother-in-law tomorrow. He didn't know what etiquette was in France.
Chen Muqiao was thinking about asking Ye Gongchao to take him to a place where Chinese people gathered tomorrow to get some gifts. When meeting his in-laws for the first time, he couldn't go empty-handed.
Although he has received education in the new culture, Chen Muqiao still follows the old tradition in his views on the important matter of marriage between men and women.
He even thought about deciding on a wedding date with his younger brother's mother-in-law during this meeting. After all, he would be returning to China after the year. After arriving in Sihai, communication with Britain and France would not be so convenient. .
Chen Muwu didn't know what his elder brother was thinking. If he knew, he would laugh out loud because his elder brother is too unfounded.
Even though he had decided that he would choose Eve to spend the rest of his life with, Chen Muwu had no intention of getting married so early.
One is because Eve has not yet graduated from her Sevigny College. After she graduates and gets her bachelor's degree, Chen Muwu plans to trick this little girl into going to England and let her go to college next to him and train her in the meantime. Emotions talk about love.
The second reason is that Chen Muwu would never propose to Madame Curie's second daughter Eve before her eldest sister Irena Curie got married.
Chen Muwu's brother-in-law, Jean-Frédéric Joliot-Curie, combined his surname Joliot and Irena's surname Curie after marrying Madame Curie's eldest daughter Irena. , became Joliot-Curie.
The reason he gave for doing this was that Curie, a very great surname in the history of French physics, could not be left without descendants.
Frederic Joliot-Curie's behavior of changing his surname was looked down upon by many people at the time, thinking that he wanted to gain a foothold in the French physics community by relying on the reputation of his mother-in-law, Marie Curie.
It is true that Chen Muwu respects Madame Curie very much, and his achievements in physics are already high enough. Even if he marries Eve now, no one will think that Chen Muwu is a soft-boiled son-in-law.
But Chen Muwu couldn't accept changing his surname to the compound name Chen-Curie after getting married. He should let his brother-in-law change his surname first. After a year or two, he could happily embrace the beauty. Return and let Eve Curie become your own Mrs. Chen.
Chen Muwu, who was tired from the journey, had a comfortable sleep at De Broglie's house. When he opened his eyes the next day, after thinking again and again, he decided to go to the Paris Radium Institute alone to visit his future mother-in-law. .
Compared to the Lorenz he met in Leiden two days ago, who wanted to die if he disagreed with her, Chen Muwu was now more afraid of seeing Madame Curie in person.
The last time the two met, and the first time they met each other, was in Brussels, Belgium.
As a result, when they met again, he was going to kidnap her little daughter who she had worked so hard to raise.
The cabbages that have been planted for twenty years are suddenly going to be taken away by a pig. Even if the pig is knowledgeable, handsome, young and rich, the mother will still have some resistance in her heart.
De Broglie said that he wanted to go with him. He made it clear that he wanted to see a joke about his good friend, but in the end he was stopped by Chen Muwu.
Seeing her future mother-in-law again, Marie Curie was still as quiet and elegant as she was at the Solvay Conference in Brussels last time, but Chen Muwu was nervous.
Although it was the coldest winter of the year, there were faint beads of sweat on his forehead.
Although it has dual funding from the University of Paris and the French government, the conditions in this laboratory are also very crude, comparable to the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge.
The key is that there are no measures to prevent radiation. Long-term exposure to such an environment will cause great damage to the human body.
Chen Muwu felt that he must remind Madame Curie this time and advise her to take personal protection when doing experiments in the future.
The difficulty he imagined his mother-in-law would face when meeting her new son-in-law did not happen, and Madame Curie did not torture Chen Muwu. After chatting for a few words about her little daughter, she changed the topic to academics.
Although Marie Curie was nearly sixty years old, her passion for scholarship remained unquenched.
In addition to teaching at the University of Paris every day, he returned to the Radium Institute to conduct research on radioactive elements.
Among the achievements of Chen Muwu, what interested Marie Curie most was not the fact that light is a particle but electrons are waves, nor the series of simple or complex mathematical operations in quantum mechanics, but the photo taken by Chen Muwu from Blackett last year. Evidence of nuclear transmutation was found in so many photos.
After talking about academic topics, Chen Muwu gradually relaxed from his nervousness.
On Christmas Eve, coupled with the visit of guests, Madame Curie even ended her work early today and took Chen Muwu back to her home.
Eve, who had been very enthusiastic and generous in Denmark and Sweden, was uncharacteristically different today. She secretly made a face at Chen Muwu and shyly hid in her room.
But Madame Curie took her future son-in-law and looked at various photos of Eve from childhood to adulthood.
Looking at it, Marie Curie, a strong woman, couldn't help but feel a little sad. Her voice was slightly choked, and she was afraid that she would lose her daughter's company from now on.
This made Chen Muwu very embarrassed, and he felt more and more that he was that heinous pig.
Fortunately, de Broglie once again acted as a fire-fighting hero. According to the previous agreement with Chen Muwu, he took Chen Muqiao to visit, successfully shifting the pressure to Chen Muqiao's side.
Chen Muwu simply used the excuse of helping Ye Gongchao and went straight into the kitchen.
"Uncle Chen, when do you and Miss Aif plan to get married?"
"Can you please stop calling me Third Uncle and Third Uncle? I feel uncomfortable hearing this."
Ever since he met Chen Muqiao, Ye Gongchao had changed his name for him. Otherwise, he would call his eldest brother uncle, but call him brother Hanchen. Ye Gongchao felt that sooner or later, he would have a schizophrenia.
But this made Chen Muwu feel something was wrong. They were almost the same age. Could it be that during the Chinese New Year this year, he would still have to pay New Year's money to this cheap nephew?
"It's still early to get married, but you, have you finished writing the latest book "Tragedy on the Nile"?"
"I'll finish it right now! I'll finish it right away! There's just one ending left! Don't worry, I will definitely give the manuscript to you before you and my uncle leave France!"
When he mentioned the manuscript, Ye Gongchao suddenly lost interest in chatting.
He just kept reminding himself secretly that no matter where or what Uncle Chen invited him to do in the future, he must think twice before giving an answer.
…
Christmas 1924 passed like this, and after staying in Paris for two more days, Ye Gongchao finally handed over his manuscript, and Chen Muwu finally set off to return to the UK.
His journey lasted two or three months and basically traveled around the entire northwest Europe.
But the thought of taking a boat again gave Chen Muwu a headache.
But his headache soon disappeared, because after de Broglie learned that his good friend suddenly had a bad habit of being afraid of taking a boat, he gave a noble solution.
Of course, no matter how rich de Broglie was, he would never be able to dig a tunnel or build a bridge across the English Channel for Chen Muwu.
The suggestion he gave was to let Chen Muwu take a flight to the airport in Versailles. It would only take more than three hours to fly directly from Paris to London.
After hearing the suggestion given by de Broglie, Chen Muwu suddenly felt that it would be better to take a boat.
Not to mention how bad the flying experience was in the early days of civil aviation, Chen Muwu was really worried about the safety performance of early aircraft and did not dare to take the risk himself.
He declined de Broglie's kindness, but asked him to help buy three tickets to return to England.
Eve, de Broglie and Ye Gongchao went to the station in Paris to say goodbye.
The first person had tears in his eyes and was a little reluctant to let his beloved leave just like that.
The second person also had a solemn expression and told Chen Muwu that if he had the chance, he must come to Paris to play with him more often.
The last person had no expression on his face, and even felt a little happy in his heart.
The train blew its whistle and its wheels rolled forward slowly.
On the night of December 29th before the New Year, Chen Muwu finally returned to Cambridge University after a long absence and returned to his room in Trinity College.
According to regulations, his eldest brother Chen Muqiao cannot live in the college.
So before that, Chen Muwu first went to find Mrs. Brown, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. It happened that she still had an empty room on the second floor.
Relying on the friendship between Chen Muwu and Mrs. Brown, Chen Muqiao successfully moved in here.
The first thing Chen Muwu did on the second day after returning to Cambridgeshire was to go to Rutherford's home and "apologise" to his teacher.
"Look, the latest Nobel Prize winner in physics is back!"
After not hearing loud shouts for several months, Chen Muwu suddenly felt more at ease with the strong New Zealand man in front of him.
"Teacher, I'm really sorry. Before I left Cambridge University, I promised you that I would come back before Christmas and come to your home to spend the holidays together. But in the end it was still a few days late. I hope you can forgive me."
"Chen, Kapitsa has already told me about your matter.
"I didn't expect that you, who usually keep quiet, would deceive the Curie girl into your hands."
Chen Muwu blushed after hearing this. It was enough for Yoshio Nishina to sell him out at Leiden University. How come after returning to Cambridge, even the thick-browed Kapitsa came to stab him in the back?
Now in Rutherford's eyes, didn't he become someone who forgot about his master after having a wife?
Rutherford also discovered his beloved disciple's embarrassment, so he quickly found a way out for him: "On the day after this year's Solvay Conference, I noticed that this little girl is interested in you.
"Before I left New Zealand, I told your teacher's wife that after I made some achievements in physics, I would bring her to England and marry her.
"You have made such great achievements in academics now. You are much better than I was back then. So why are you so shy? You are now at the age where you should have a relationship with a girl."
After a few chats, Chen Muwu told Rutherford that he wanted to set up a low-temperature physics laboratory in the Cavendish Laboratory.
He was confident of being favored. He had previously obtained 10,000 pounds of annual funding for the laboratory, and now he had won a Nobel Prize in Physics. Rutherford didn't even think about Chen Muwu's request and just went straight to it. Agree.
Then he told Chen Muwu another thing.
"Chen, when did your brother leave England?"
"Teacher, it is estimated that he will not return to China until the end of January and the traditional Chinese New Year."
"Is it starting from London?"
"If nothing else happens, it should start from London."
"That's just right. After the New Year, you will also go to London with me.
"There has been news from the Royal Society. Because you won the Nobel Prize in Physics, they plan to recruit you as a fellow of the Royal Society. By the way, because of the electron diffraction experiment you did before, 25 The 2016 Hughes Medal is awarded to you. We are going to London to attend the new member induction and awards ceremony.
"Another piece of gossip, the winner of the Copley Medal of the Royal Society for 25 years is also an old acquaintance of yours. Guess who he is?"
After deleting Hearthstone, I finally wrote 10,000 words today.
I can only say that Hearthstone is very harmful to people. When I updated it two days ago, I didn’t dare to click on this chapter review or book review, for fear that I would be scolded for being short and weak.
Today, I finally made up for what I owed before, and made amends to the readers.
(End of chapter)
