"How much do you say, Sir Doyle? A thousand pounds for a lecture?"
Chen Muwu, who was shocked by this number, began to doubt his own ears with some unconfidence.
In order to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings caused by mishearing, he simply repeated the number again.
Doyle smiled and nodded: "Yes, one thousand pounds, Dr. Chen, the reward I proposed is not bad, right?"
The old and new aristocrats in Britain are really rich.
Chen Muwu has always felt that he has now established a firm foothold in Europe, and is on the right track both in his studies and in life. He only needs to work hard and rely on various invention patents that have not yet appeared. He should be able to make a lot of money. Less money.
But there is such an opportunity right in front of me. All I need to do is go to London to give a lecture, use my words, and work hard for two hours, and the reward will be one thousand pounds.
What kind of research are you doing so hard and so hard are you trying to win the Nobel Prize?
As long as you give seven lectures a year, you can earn as much as a Nobel Prize.
No wonder those scammers rush to the UK to swindle money. It’s just that their money is so easy to deceive.
Even a hundred years later, Teacher Ma of Hunyuan Xingyi Tai Chi was still able to make a name for himself in London.
For a moment, Chen Muwudu even wanted to introduce qigong to Britain.
When the time comes, thousands of people gather in Trafalgar Square, each carrying an aluminum "information pot" on their heads to receive the magnetic field from the cosmic atmosphere, the scene will be very spectacular.
What Chen Muwu didn't know was that Doyle, as a supporter of spiritualism, was also the author of the world-renowned Sherlock Holmes series.
He went on a lecture tour in the United States to give a platform to spiritualism, and the fee for each appearance was no less than what Chen Muwu could get this time.
"Dr. Chen?"
Seeing Chen Muwu suddenly fall into deep thought, the old man Doyle had an inexplicable smile appear on his lips.
After not giving himself a response for a long time, he couldn't help but call Chen Muwu in a low voice.
"Ah, ah, Sir, where am I? When will this lecture be held?"
In just a few minutes, Chen Muwu personally demonstrated what it means to be slapped in the face at the speed of light.
He was just doing some mental construction in his mind, saying that he must not have anything to do with gods, gods, ghosts and ghosts.
But in a blink of an eye, he rebelled. This time, it was his senior Newton who brought him psychological comfort.
Even the greatest physicist in human history has gone to study theology, so it’s understandable that I, Old Chen, have to be secular in the end, right?
A person's mouth has two skins, and they are all rational anyway. Crossing the river by touching Newton is absolutely correct!
"Dr. Chen, are you agreeing? Any time is fine. Anyway, you only need to tell me a few days in advance, and I can convene the members to hold an impromptu gathering. But it is better to choose Saturday. There should be more people present then.”
"No problem! Sir Doyle, I am going to London in a few days. I will contact you then."
"That's perfect," Doyle said, rummaging around in his suit pocket. "This is my business card. It has my address and phone number in London. And the fifty pounds will be used as carriage fare." , for your trip from Cambridge to London."
The boss is awesome.
The distance traveled by train from the train station in Cambridgeshire to King's Cross Station in London is only sixty miles. Even if you take the most expensive first-class express train, the ticket cost less than one pound.
The carriage fee that Doyle gave Chen Muwu was enough for him to travel between the two cities twenty or thirty times.
"Okay, Sir, I will contact you as soon as possible then!"
After seeing off Doyle, Chen Muwu did not return to the dinner party at Trinity College because he was afraid that Einstein would continue to pester him. Instead, he went to Mrs. Brown's house for the first time in a long time.
Since Zhao Zhongyao and Shi Ruwei came to Cambridge from China, Chen Muwu basically didn't have much time to communicate with them.
Especially during the few months they were traveling between the two countries in Northern Europe, they only met briefly in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden.
When he arrived at his destination, he didn't expect to see Oppenheimer in the house.
He is the youngest among the three, but he consciously has the consciousness of a senior brother.
Chen Muwu had previously asked Oppenheimer to help two people from China learn more about the latest physics knowledge and help them practice English. Unexpectedly, he still persists in this matter.
In fact, Oppenheimer regarded every gathering of classmates as a foreign language corner. He helped Zhao and Shi with English tutoring, and also learned and connected Chinese listening, speaking, reading and writing with them.
He felt that although he was in the UK, Teacher Chen and the four people in his student circle, except for him, all spoke Chinese as their native language. In order to take care of him as an American, they always communicated in English.
Oppenheimer felt like a burden, so he always wanted to learn Chinese well.
Compared with his two compatriots, Chen Muwu took Oppenheimer on a complete business trip to Northern Europe.
However, in the short month after returning to Cambridge, because he had to deal with the accumulated things and accompany him through all kinds of hardships, his eldest brother, who finally came to England, had little time to spend with his eldest disciple. Far away.
Because he was not a member of the Royal Society, Oppenheimer did not go to London with Chen Muwu to attend the meeting a few days ago. He could only read the controversial theories put forward by his teacher in newspapers.
Today, several people finally met, and the topic was naturally inseparable from the unlucky cat and the mysteriously divided universe.
These days, whenever Chen Muwu meets others, the topics they talk about will always be these.
Eddington, who was the first to express his position to reporters after the Royal Society's award ceremony, has always been a supporter of Chen Muwu's new theory.
Now, he has another staunch supporter, Oppenheimer.
Although any interpretation of quantum mechanics is still in the fantasy stage. It is still difficult to design experiments that can be verified, let alone experimental verification. However, there is an intuition in Oppenheimer's heart, and that is what Chen Muwu said Everything he said was right, and he would never lie to himself.
After chatting for a while, Chen Muwu explained the purpose of his trip to these three people: "I am going to London again in a few days, and I may have to do research in the laboratory of the Royal Academy for a period of time."
"Is it because of the superconducting thing?"
When Oppenheimer was in Denmark, he knew that Chen Muwu had been deceiving him, and it couldn't be said that he was deceiving him. It was probably the person at the Institute of Theoretical Physics who "persuaded" him to study superconductivity.
On the way back from receiving the Nobel Prize, he followed Chen Muwu to the Netherlands, so Oppenheimer knew that when Mr. Chen was in Leiden, he had been negotiating about purchasing low-temperature physics experimental equipment.
As a result, after returning to Cambridge, things related to low-temperature physics seemed to suddenly disappear.
After asking around, Oppenheimer realized that it was Rutherford who was reluctant to spend money and introduced Teacher Chen to Old Prague in London.
Oppenheimer, who came to Cambridge University from Harvard University, was initially unable to enter the Cavendish Laboratory because Rutherford was obstructing him.
Now Rutherford is stuck in Chen Muwu's research again, which makes him even more unhappy.
His teacher relied on the money he worked hard to earn in the Olympic Games for the laboratory, but in the end he couldn't spend any of it, and all of it was invested in research on atomic nuclei that had no hope at all.
Oppenheimer felt that Rutherford might be more confused than the older Thomson. As long as Chen Muwu could be photographed, wouldn't it be a matter of minutes to achieve more research results?
My teacher and I went on a business trip to Northern Europe for several months. During this period, we left Chen Muwu’s Cavendish Laboratory. What achievements did we make?
In the most important research direction, the atomic nucleus, there is almost no achievement. What is the only achievement? It was in high-altitude physics that the ionosphere in the atmosphere was discovered!
Oppenheimer thought to himself that the Cavendish Laboratory could even fire all other professors and staff, leaving only Chen Muwu alone. In addition, he and his two juniors could help the teacher, which would generate energy every year. Continuously produce various research results.
"Yes, I want to do some research on low-temperature physics. Which of you wants to go to London with me?"
Chen Muwu has always said he would do a low-temperature experiment, but he has never thought about what he is going to do.
However, he made it clear that after arriving in London, he would definitely not study the critical temperature at which elements turn into superconductors, especially the 81st element, thallium.
Now there are two options before Chen Muwu. One is to obtain liquid deuterium from liquid hydrogen through splitting under low temperature conditions, thereby finding the first isotope of hydrogen.
The second is to continue to study superconductivity, thereby discovering the Meissner effect of superconductors and confirming that the magnetic induction intensity inside the superconductor is zero. In other words, the superconductor repels the magnetic field in the body.
The first research, undoubtedly worthy of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
In the original time and space, the 1934 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Harold Urey, who discovered deuterium.
As for the second research, Chen Muwu feels that he should also win the physics prize.
It's just because in the original time and space, Meissner, the discoverer of the Meissner effect, was a German, and Germany lost World War II again just like World War I, so it was a pity that he was allowed to die because of his nationality. Didn't win the Nobel Prize.
Last winter, Chen Muwu had already eaten alone once, and his interest in the Nobel Prize is not as strong as before.
Moreover, he thought that the judges of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences would be reluctant to award the Nobel Prize to the same person over and over again. Einstein is a good example.
So Chen Muwu thought about whether he could help the people around him get a few Nobel Prizes. After all, the wealth would not go to outsiders!
Today, he and three of his students proposed to go to London to do low-temperature experiments, just to try out his idea.
Just because he couldn't decide who would eventually do the experiment with him, he couldn't decide what experiment he would eventually do.
In Chen Muwu's plan, he wanted to leave the physics prize to his two compatriots.
If either Zhao Zhongyao or Shi Ruwei is willing to go with him, then after arriving in London, he will do the experiment on the magnetic effect of superconductors.
And if Oppenheimer wants to go with him, since he has been faithfully accompanying him all this time, then just give him a chemistry prize.
His teacher Rutherford looked down on the chemistry prize, so Chen Muwu, a good student, also felt a little proud of being a physicist.
Speaking of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Chen Muwu remembered another interesting thing.
The most prestigious Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Swedish engineer Niels Gustav Dahlen in 1912 for his invention of the gas regulator that ignites navigation lights and buoy lights.
There is a saying in unofficial history that the reason why Darren won the award that year was because the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences wanted to award the physics prize that year to both Edison and Tesla.
As a result, neither of these two bitter rivals wanted to receive the award at the same time as the other, so they both refused.
Sweden had no choice but to pull out its own engineer to temporarily rescue the situation.
But when it comes to the most prestigious chemistry award, there is no doubt that it should be the one in 1945 in the original time and space.
The Physics Prize of the same year was awarded to Pauli for his discovery of the exclusion principle.
The Physiology or Medicine Prize was awarded to Alexander Fleming and others who discovered penicillin.
The former has promoted the development of physics, especially quantum aspects, while the latter has saved countless lives.
The reason for winning the Chemistry Prize in the same year was how to store feed.
This invention allowed Europeans to obtain an adequate supply of milk in winter. If taken alone, it is indeed a great invention.
Just a horizontal comparison, its gold content is not that sufficient.
This award is so valuable that Chen Muwu has no desire to take it for himself.
But this made him wander again, and he thought of interesting things, which brought a smile to his lips.
This made Oppenheimer mistakenly believe that the experiment mentioned by his teacher should lead to another major discovery.
He was the first to raise his hand: "Teacher, I want to go with you!"
"Are you sure?" Chen Muwu's first reaction after regaining consciousness was not to agree, but to question, "Let me warn you first, this experiment will be very boring."
He didn't say this to reject Oppenheimer, it was just the way it was.
The boiling point of liquid deuterium is 23.5K, while the boiling point of liquid hydrogen is 20.38K.
Using the three-kelvin temperature difference between the two, it is completely possible to fractionate deuterium gas from liquid hydrogen.
It's just that the yield of this method is terrible. In the end, 5 liters of liquid hydrogen can only produce 1 ml of deuterium.
Chen Muwu felt that Oppenheimer's patience was not enough to support him in completing this boring experiment that required repeated repetitions.
Thinking of this, he has already chosen the person to do the experiment with him.
"Brother Shunruo, why don't you go to London with me?"
Oppenheimer increasingly felt that learning Chinese well was really important.
He doesn't even know who Teacher Chen chose now, he only knows that it's not him anyway.
