I was happily sitting on the train singing songs, but unexpectedly the teacher suddenly turned the group on me.
Chen Muwu looked around at the teachers and colleagues in the carriage who were going to Liverpool to attend a wedding. Except for him, all of them should be married or had been married.
With one person fully fed and the whole family not hungry, only he and Kapitsa were left.
But no one would ask Kapitsa the same question, because he lost many relatives in a short period of time due to major changes in his family, including his first wife and two children. That’s why I left Petrograd to relax abroad and entered the Cavendish Laboratory.
Although Kapitsa remains optimistic, asking him directly about marriage is likely to bring back sad memories.
"Teacher, I am still too young now. All I think about is physics. Marriage is not something I can consider for the time being."
Chen Muwu didn't want to discuss this very sacred and private personal issue with everyone. Besides, he didn't have the final say on when to get married. He had to get the consent of the woman.
Moreover, he also wants to take the opportunity of getting married to bring all his family members to Europe, so he must plan carefully.
Chen Muwu's initial thought was "get married after completing the superconducting experiment/building the accelerator/discovering the positron/discovering the neutron", but he always felt that this statement seemed to be setting a flag, so he changed his tune.
Fortunately, Rutherford was not like the old lady, who was always looking forward to her youngest son getting married as soon as possible.
He was just looking for a topic for the few hours of train ride to keep everyone from being bored.
Since Chen Muwu was not willing to talk about his relationship with Ai Fu, he would just change the topic to another topic.
It's a pity that I didn't bring a set of mahjong tiles with me during this temporary trip.
Otherwise, why would we bother to find a topic?
Chen Muwu did not go directly to the Royal Institution in London this time, but returned to Cambridge with everyone.
He has been on a business trip in London for half a year and made an invention and a discovery.
Chen Muwu planned to take a short vacation from college, go soak in the Kang River and rest for a few days.
Then he took Shi Ruwei, who was already on summer vacation, back to the David Faraday Laboratory and continued his superconducting experiments.
Although he has not returned to his home in Cambridge for nearly half a year, his room in Trinity College is still kept spotless by the servants. This is the noble treatment that he can only enjoy after becoming an academician of the college.
After changing into his swimsuit in the room, Chen Muwu returned to Kanghe.
Although he did not participate in this year's Cambridge-Oxford Joint Games, Cambridge University still achieved good results.
Best believes that this is all due to Chen Muwu.
After all, it was he who won the Olympic Games, earned face for the Cambridge University Swimming Club, and inspired everyone to follow his example and strive for the first place.
Best, the president of the Cambridge University Swimming Club, stood on the bank of the river with his members and warmly welcomed Chen Muwu, the Olympic gold medalist in swimming and a meritorious member of the club.
Question Chen Muwu, understand Chen Muwu, and become Chen Muwu.
Since Chen Muwu won the Olympic Games, members of the swimming club have updated their swimming equipment.
They gave up on one-piece swimsuits woven from wool and instead wore the same silk shorts that offer less resistance underwater.
"Brother Hanchen!"
"Brother Hanchen!"
As soon as he jumped into the Kang River and swam back and forth for two seconds, Chen Muwu heard someone calling him from the shore.
And it seems that I haven’t heard this title for a long time recently.
Although he had said to the two Chinese compatriots Zhao Zhongyao and Shi Ruwei more than once, it would be better for everyone to call each other by their first names, which would make them appear more intimate.
But when faced with sponsoring them to study in the UK, Zhao and Shi always spoke of "Dr. Chen" or "Mr. Chen."
At first, Chen Muwu felt it was very awkward, but he couldn't correct it no matter what, so he could only accept it slowly.
Zhu Zhaoxin, the charge d'affaires of the legation, always called him by his first name, but given the age and status gap, he would never add another brother after "Hanchen".
Only Ye Gongchao would call him "Brother Hanchen". Could it be that he took advantage of the summer vacation to come to Cambridge University from Paris to visit him?
It shouldn't be. Ye Gongchao was regarded by him as a gunman and had done so much literary work. He wished he could hide as far away from him as possible, so how could he come to his door in person and continue to be exploited by him?
Chen Muwu swam to the shore where the sound came from. As soon as he raised his head from the water, he saw a yellow man wearing a suit, small round glasses, and a middle part on his head.
Needless to say, this person is really an acquaintance of his. He had already made acquaintance with this person before he came to Cambridge.
"Brother Zhimo, why did you come to Cambridge? I didn't tell you in advance!" Chen Muwu held his hands on the shore and jumped out of the water. "Please wait a moment, I will go over there to change clothes."
He ran to the shed on the shore to dry off the water, put on his robe, and then walked out to meet Xu Zhimo again.
"I arrived in the UK in April and have been to Cambridge University many times, but I have never been able to meet you, Hanchen.
"I just heard from Professor Russell yesterday that you returned to Cambridge. I didn't expect to meet you by the Cam River today."
If there were no Chen Muwu, then Xu Zhimo must be the most famous Chinese alumnus of Cambridge University.
Even though he was not even a formally registered student, the poem "Gently I leave, just as gently I came" was so beautiful and famous that Cambridge University even dedicated a memorial to him by the river in the future. A monument was erected to commemorate it.
On the way from Cam River to Trinity College, Chen Muwu had already roughly understood the purpose and itinerary of Xu Zhimo's trip to the UK.
He claimed to have come to Europe for a study tour and took a train across the Eurasian continent via the Siberian Railway in March.
As a result, as soon as Xu Zhimo arrived in Berlin from Sulian, he had to learn the sad news that his second son had died.
Although Xu Zhimo only met his second son once, he was still very sad because he was his own flesh and blood after all.
After emerging from the gloom, he traveled back and forth between Britain and France many times. During this period, he accompanied his equally sad ex-wife Zhang Youyi to Venice, Italy for half a month. Then his ex-wife returned to Berlin, and he went to Florence alone.
Chen Muwu felt that the article "A Night in Feilengcui", which had been included in middle school textbooks, should have been written at this time.
But I wonder if he has written "Farewell Cambridge" now?
Chen Muwu's mind was wandering, while Xu Zhimo continued to describe his itinerary: He left Italy a few days ago and just arrived in London when he read the news in the newspaper that praised Chen Muwu as the last person in the world who knows everything.
Only then did Xu Zhimo remember that he still had such an old friend in England who he had known for a long time.
He first followed the clues provided in the newspaper and found the Royal Institution in London.
After the results arrived, he was told by people there that Dr. Chen had just left here to attend a wedding in Liverpool.
Xu Zhimo changed his mind temporarily and decided to visit his teacher Russell at Cambridge University first, and then try his luck in London after a few days.
Unexpectedly, he would finally meet Chen Muwu here today.
Three years ago in Beijing, Xu Zhimo admired Chen Muwu who lectured on the theory of relativity on the podium of the Bei Auditorium. After the last lecture, he expressed his appreciation for the theory of relativity in front of everyone without hesitation. Praise from Chen Muwu.
In the past three years, Chen Muwu has made so many achievements in various aspects, so Xu Zhimo couldn't stop praising Chen Muwu from the beginning of his mouth.
He detailed Chen Muwu's achievements that had been reported in detail in domestic newspapers, even more clearly than Chen Muwu himself remembered.
Chen Muwu has always felt that he is very thick-skinned. He has deceived foreigners so many times before and does not feel ashamed at all.
But after hearing such high-intensity praise today, he actually felt a little embarrassed.
Such an interesting literary master died so young. To be honest, it is a pity.
If he could avoid taking that plane, maybe there would be a few more required modern poems in the Chinese textbook.
How about waiting for the school to be built and coaxing Xu Zhimo into teaching in Sweden?
The real intention of Chen Muwu's school is to cultivate academic and industrial talents in China.
But the nominal purpose of this school is that the Crown Prince of Sweden wants to cultivate talents in Sweden who understand Eastern culture. It makes sense to find some teachers who understand this knowledge to support the school.
Xu Zhimo seems to be a good candidate. I wonder if he can teach Chinese studies well?
In addition to Xu Zhimo, how about inviting Xu Zhimo’s teacher Liang Qichao to teach abroad for a few years?
The medical level in Europe is higher than that of the Union Medical College Hospital in Beijing. Maybe Mr. Liang can live longer this time away from the diagnosis of quack doctors.
Of course, there were also those Chinese classics masters who had always held the pessimistic attitude that "the war would lead to the destruction of the country" when the Anti-Japanese War just started. Chen Muwu felt that he must invite them all to Sweden to give lectures.
Although these people's level of Chinese studies is very high, unfortunately their ability to judge the current situation is very low.
Facing the invasion of foreign races, everyone in the country was united in hating the enemy. Their discordant voices really disfigured the scenery.
Yes, just do it!
"Brother Hanchen, why are you so frowning? Is there something on your mind?"
The expression on Chen Muwu's face was so obvious that Xu Zhimo could see through his thoughts at once.
However, Chen Muwu’s current thoughts and the matter of building a school in Sweden cannot yet be fully revealed to Xu Zhimo.
He felt that if he told it now, Xu Zhimo would regard it as another achievement of his and publicize it for himself after returning to China.
Perhaps Xu Zhimo's original intention was to praise Chen Muwu for not forgetting to serve the country after becoming a talented person.
But after this matter spreads, it will definitely attract a lot of flies, and they will try their best to try their best to try to get a piece of Chen Muwu's small school funding.
This is absolutely impossible.
Chen Muwu started to make up nonsense again: "Brother Zhimo, you are a guest from afar, and I should keep you here for dinner today. It's just that I can't handle the food cooked by my little brother. I'm worrying about what I should treat you to today!"
…
Xu Zhimo only stayed in Cambridge for a few days when he received a telegram from China.
The sender was the northern socialite Lu Xiaoman, who was in the period of passionate love with him at this time, and was also known as the "Southern Tang Beilu" along with Tang Ying from Sihai.
She said in the telegram that she was ill and hoped that Xu Zhimo could return to China as soon as possible.
After hearing the news, Xu Zhimo, a man in the mortal world, immediately fell into a state of anxiety.
He wished he could have wings and fly back to the Republic of China from England immediately.
Chen Muwu's vacation at Cambridge University ended early because of this sudden incident.
As a landlord, he helped Xu Zhimo arrange matters for returning to China and bought a combined train and ship ticket from the UK to France.
He also took Shi Ruwei and returned to London with Xu Zhimo.
Chen Muwu dug a hole for himself in order to let Yoshio Nishina switch his research direction to superconductivity.
Although hydrogen isotopes have been found at low temperatures, Chen Muwu still has no achievements in superconductivity.
He must quickly fill in the Meissner effect hole and let Yoshio Nishina see the "broad prospects" of superconducting research, so that he can strengthen his confidence and continue on this road until the end.
When Meisner conducted his experiments, the metal materials used were tin and lead from the fourth main group.
The critical temperatures of these two metals are 3.7 K and 7.2 K.
And ten years have passed, and lead is still the element with the highest superconducting critical temperature discovered so far.
This temperature is even lower than the 14 K he used to evaporate liquid hydrogen.
In addition, an induction coil for measuring magnetic flux needs to be added to the material, which increases the difficulty of the experiment.
Chen Muwu wondered whether he should inadvertently create a material with a higher critical temperature, so that the experiment would be more convenient.
For example, magnesium diboride?
But he quickly dismissed his idea.
So far, people's measurements of the critical temperature of superconducting have been limited to the elements present on the periodic table, and no one has considered the direction of compounds.
Although the search for superconducting materials is like refining elixir, it has a bit of metaphysics in it.
But if Chen Muwu suddenly took out a compound with a critical temperature of 39 K, it would be too metaphysical.
Magnesium diboride is impractical, so niobium is better.
As long as we study the superconducting properties of subgroup elements, we can inadvertently discover niobium, a metal material with a critical temperature as high as 10 Kelvin.
After discovering the superconducting critical temperature of niobium, and then accidentally discovering the magical phenomenon of superconducting niobium levitating in a magnetic field, is this academic logic much more reasonable?
