The plexiglass was made, but there were still many things that Chen Muwu needed to do after that.
Because it was his first time making it and he had little experience, he spent a few days polishing the glass surface smooth, then cut it into several pieces of equal size, and put them together with the remaining scraps into his backpack.
In fact, these last few things can be left to skilled workers, but Chen Muwu was afraid that it would be leaked at the last moment and the work would be ruined, so he did everything himself.
Old Prague was not very interested in what Chen Muwu did, and was even a little disappointed.
In the Cavendish Laboratory, Dr. Chen plays with gamma ray sources and X-ray sources every day, and conducts sophisticated physics experiments.
Why did he start studying beakers and flasks as soon as he arrived at David Faraday's laboratory?
Old Prague was still very interested before, but he couldn't figure out what Chen Muwu wanted to do when he asked him to come forward to purchase hydrocyanic acid.
He occasionally came to Chen Muwu's place to observe, but then he became gradually disappointed, and then he didn't even come back once in a month.
As the director, he still had to rebuild the laboratory. Now that Rutherford had blown the whistle and Chen Muwu couldn't get the money, Old Bragg had to think of other ways.
In the David Faraday Laboratory, Chen Muwu was the only person who participated in basically the entire process.
Although Shi Ruwei and Chen Muwu came to London together at the beginning of the year, after recognizing the poor environment and zero funding of the laboratory, Chen Muwu finally decided to let him return to Cambridge University to take classes.
Fortunately, this decision was made. It was already the end of April when the plexiglass was produced. The spring semester of Cambridge University was already over, and even the Easter semester had already begun.
If I had stayed in London, it would have been a waste of time.
Going back and forth between the Republic of China Legation and the Royal Research Institute every day, Chen Muwu could always learn about some major domestic and foreign events from Zhu Zhaoxin.
Mr. Sun, who fell ill and went north, ultimately failed to return to the south, and instead died in a foreign country. The incident in which Zhu Zhaoxin asked Chen Muwu to help with a few words of kindness also came to an end.
The good news is that Zhu Zhaoxin finally took a step further and was promoted from first secretary and charge d'affaires to the Republic of China's minister abroad.
The bad news is that his country of residence is not the United Kingdom, but Italy.
The good news is that he will stay in the UK first and wait until he has handed over all matters in the embassy to the new minister to the UK before going to Italy to take up his post.
We don't yet know who the new minister to the UK is, probably because this is a lucrative position, and several forces in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are fighting overtly and secretly, refusing to give in to each other.
Chen Muwu also regretted that he should not have come forward to write the recommendation letter for Zhu Zhaoxin.
Now if he leaves, won't he have to work hard to establish a good relationship with the new minister?
Alas, let’s just take it one step at a time.
Now that the plexiglass has been made, the next step is to sell this rare item at a good price.
Ever since he figured out that selling to the second prince who also served in the Air Force would be more profitable than selling to Brigadier General Daoding, Chen Muwu never thought about contacting the latter again.
He dug out the address the Duke of York had left for him last year, wrote a letter and sent it.
In the letter, Chen Muwu did not explain the specific content, but said that he had a treasure and wanted to ask the Duke of York to take a look.
After writing the letter, Chen Muwu felt that he was very similar to those sycophants who flattered the emperor in ancient times, saying that lotuses bloomed in such and such a place, and Ganoderma lucidum appeared in such and such a place, in an attempt to gain promotion and fortune.
However, the Duke of York is not the emperor yet, and Chen Muwu is not his British subject.
It's not about being promoted and flattering, he just simply wants to get rich.
After writing the letter to the Duke of York, Chen Muwu wrote another letter to Oppenheimer of Cambridge University.
After receiving the letter, Oppenheimer felt moved again. He felt that the teacher still remembered him.
When Chen Muwu invited Shi Ruwei to go to London with him, although Oppenheimer did not hold a grudge, he was still a little unhappy.
Now when the teacher wrote a letter, the first one invited him to London, and he asked again, and found out that the remaining two people had not received the teacher's call.
What does this mean? It shows that the teacher still puts himself first in his heart!
After receiving the letter, Oppenheimer bought a ticket overnight and rushed from Cambridge University to London.
In fact, Chen Muwu wrote to Oppenheimer just because he was confident that after contacting the Royal Air Force through the Duke of York, it would be a matter of time before they funded the plexiglass project and the Davy Faraday Laboratory.
Therefore, Chen Muwu planned to call Oppenheimer to his side first, and as soon as the money arrived, he would immediately send him to Leiden University in the Netherlands to handle matters related to the purchase of experimental instruments.
As a member of Shylock's race and the son of a businessman, although he eventually embarked on academic research instead of continuing to engage in business, his racial talent should give him more or less bargaining power, right?
The letter written to the Duke of York also received a quick reply.
Since the last farewell at the British Embassy in Paris, France, the second prince has not met Chen Muwu, his good alumnus of Trinity College.
As time went by, he also forgot about the fact that "three words cost him 10,000 pounds" by "emotional mentor" Chen Muwu.
Winning the Nobel Prize, the Big Bang, being elected as a fellow of the Royal Society, and having a fierce fight with Einstein.
The Duke of York found Dr. Chan, an alumnus of Trinity College, increasingly unfathomable.
He had always wanted to return to Cambridge University in a private capacity to meet Chen Muwu.
However, due to the busy work of the royal family, the Duke of York did not even have time to play tennis, so he could only reduce it to twice a week, and he had no time to see Dr. Chen.
I received a letter from Chen Muwu and learned that he was not in Cambridge, but in London.
And he also said in the letter that he had a treasure that he wanted the Duke of York to see, so he had to meet him.
The second prince just wanted to see this outstanding and good schoolmate whom he had not seen for a long time, not to see the baby Laoshizi.
The Duke of York called his personal servant to find out which day he would be free in the near future.
He thought that not only would he meet Chen Muwu alone, but since it was a treasure offering, he would have to let his friends have a long experience, especially the group of Oxford University graduates represented by Huxley.
…
Chen Muwu met the royal servant sent by the Duke of York in the David Faraday Laboratory. This person was the same person Chen Muwu had met at the Olympic Games in Paris last summer.
Writing a reply through the post office is really unsatisfactory, and the timeliness is not high, and it is easy to get lost, so Prince Albert directly sent someone to send the invitation letter and game tickets to the Royal Research Institute where Chen Muwu worked.
"Dr. Chen, long time no see. His Royal Highness the Duke of York, invites you to watch this year's FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium at 3pm this Saturday, and attend a private dinner hosted by His Royal Highness the Duke after the game. "
FA Cup?
Chen Muwu felt that the dimensional wall had been broken again.
He was not Moroccan in his previous life, so he was not a pure football enthusiast.
Moreover, the football in his country is not up to par, and his understanding of football is only at the level of a Yunfan who occasionally plays tricks.
Three o'clock in the afternoon is the hottest time of the day.
Going to an open-air stadium and being exposed to the sun for ninety minutes is not something worth enjoying.
Chen Muwu estimated that the Duke of York thought he was a good athlete, so he invited him to enjoy this annual sports event.
He glanced at the newspaper reluctantly, wondering which two teams would play in this year's finals.
If they are famous teams in the Premier League in later generations, then they can brag about it and say that they have watched Arsenal games and so on.
By the way, I wonder what level of team Arsenal is now? Still ranked fourth?
However, looking at the names of the two teams in the newspaper, Chen Muwu was a little dumbfounded.
Sheffield United played against Cardiff City. He had heard both names, but he had only heard them at this stage.
Despite his inner resistance, in order to successfully sell the plexiglass, Chen Muwu showed up at the gate of Wembley Stadium on time at noon on April 25th.
This magnificent stadium, built in 1923, should be the largest stadium in the world today. It is much more magnificent than the Colombes Stadium where Chen Muwu participated in the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games in Paris last year.
It’s just that the stadium does not have VIP access, and the tickets are not sold in advance. Instead, the window is opened before the game starts, allowing spectators to queue up to buy.
So there were a lot of people outside the stadium, and the order was very chaotic.
Although Chen Muwu had VIP tickets, there was no VIP channel in this stadium. He could only stand in the crowd and slowly move forward with the flow of people.
After squeezing into the stadium, Chen Muwu finally arrived at the box according to the instructions on the inside signs. Here, he also met the future King of England nearly a year later.
"Your Highness, long time no see."
"Dr. Chen, long time no see. Congratulations on winning the Nobel Prize in Physics! You are really proud of our University of Cambridge!"
"Your Highness, you are very complimentary. I should thank you. Thank you for your support of the Cavendish Laboratory. With the funds you provide, the laboratory has been getting better and better recently."
After sitting down, Chen Muwu discovered that this box was located in the area with the widest view of the stadium auditorium, and there was no one else in the box except Chen Muwu, the Duke of York, and some royal servants who provided services.
The royal servants placed some exquisite refreshments on the table, as well as an equally exquisite teapot.
"Dr. Chen, please enjoy the authentic British afternoon tea. Because of your arrival today, I specially asked them to choose Chinese tea instead of Indian tea."
Prince York is so considerate, but Chen Muwu is not happy.
When normal people drink tea, they add milk and sugar to the tea water!
"Forget it, Your Highness, I don't like drinking black tea very much," he politely rejected the second prince's kindness, "I didn't expect that you would invite me to watch a football match. Are you a football lover?"
"I like horse riding and playing tennis, but I don't like watching football very much. I have no choice but to come here today because I am attending for His Majesty the King and I want to present awards to the champions.
"After I received your letter, I thought that you were an Olympic champion, so I decided to set the meeting place to this occasion.
"Ever since I left France, I have been looking forward to receiving a letter from you. Why did it take so long for this letter to arrive!"
To put it mildly, whoever takes it seriously is a fool.
What can I, a plain-headed commoner, and you, a high-ranking prince, have in common?
In the letter, am I chatting with you about the latest developments in physics, or about various horoscopes in literature?
"Your Highness, I watched the sky at night and found that Mars has been hovering near Alpha Scorpio."
According to ancient Chinese astrology, Yinghuo is Mars, and Antares is the Alpha Scorpio star.
Mars invades Alpha Scorpio, which is called Yinghuo Shouxin.
Being confused and guarding your heart is a sign of great misfortune.
At worst, the prince loses his throne, and at worst, the emperor dies.
If Chen Muwu really wrote this in his letter, then he might as well go one step further and continue to write, "The stars of Alpha Scorpii and Sigma are dim, while the stars of the Scorpio Set are extremely bright."
The two stars Sigma and Tau in Scorpio, like Alpha, belong to Antares, corresponding to Antares and Antares.
In ancient astrology, Antares represents the emperor, Antares represents the prince, and Antares represents the concubine.
The subtext of the passage just now is that your father and your eldest brother will not be able to do it until the end, until the day you sit on the throne of St. Edward in England and the Stone of Destiny in Scotland!
Chen Muwu is now quite mysterious in the eyes of Doyle's gang of ghost club members.
If he really writes such a letter to the Duke of York again, he will use astrology to express the facts that will happen in the future more than ten years in advance.
Then wait until the Duke of York ascends the throne and carefully read what he wrote in his letter.
It is estimated that Chen Muwu will receive a treatment similar to Rasputin in front of King George VI.
Chen Muwu fell into the state of thinking blindly without caring about anyone present, with a silly smile on his lips.
Although the Duke of York felt that Chen Muwu's current behavior was a bit unbecoming of etiquette, his good tutoring did not allow him to express his dissatisfaction.
Maybe it was because he saw football that he thought of some new academic discoveries?
"Dr. Chen, what are you thinking about?"
The Duke of York kindly reminded.
"No, it's nothing, Your Highness, I lost my temper," Chen Muwu apologized quickly, "I just heard you say that you don't like football, just because you have to attend the final award ceremony in place of His Majesty the King.
"It seems that as a member of the royal family, you have your own difficulties. The only thing I'm worried about is that you will have more opportunities to attend such occasions in the future, not less."
I feel uncomfortable not to spoil the story, but Chen Muwu still expressed his inner thoughts in a very cryptic way.
