When entering the country, Chen Muwu saw for the first time that it was more troublesome for a white man to go through customs than for a yellow man like himself.
When the staff saw his Sulian passport, they looked up and down at the passport and Kapitsa himself.
Kapitsa, who is full of strength because of love, doesn't care about this. His mind is full of his beloved girl. As long as he successfully steps into France, he will be one step closer to Anna.
Sitting on the train to Paris, Kapitsa told Chen Muwu all the way that since Oppenheimer bought the ticket for him, he had written to Anna about his itinerary.
He believed that his dearest girl would definitely appear outside the train station to surprise him.
After giving a lecture at the Royal Academy of Sciences, he had to catch a train, change ships, and then change trains all night long. He didn't get much sleep all night, and he had to deal with the chatty talkative guy at Cambridge University. Chen Muwu was miserable.
He really regretted that he had said too much and let Oppenheimer help Kapitsa buy a ticket for the same day as himself.
I really should have told him that unfortunately the tickets were sold out and asked him to go to France on another date.
The train stopped at the Paris station platform, and Chen Muwu felt that this torturous journey was about to come to an end.
Everyone goes back to their own homes and finds their own girlfriends.
After seeing Anna, Kapitsa will definitely forget about his best friend for a while.
It can only be said that he was still too naive. He never expected that when he got off the train and left the station, the biggest surprise of the trip would be waiting for him.
It was the Christmas holiday, and the number of people outside Paris train stations was several times greater than usual.
With this kind of population density, trying to pick up someone outside a train station is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
After searching for several times, I couldn't find Anna who came to pick me up. Most people's idea is to find a more obvious and high position to let others find them.
Kapitsa also thinks the same way, but his definition of "obvious heights" is a little different from ordinary people.
"Chen, help me take care of my luggage."
"Okay, Peter, what are you doing...I'll go!"
Just as he answered, Kapitsa beside him had disappeared.
Chen Muwu turned around to look and found that his good friend had run under a gas lamp pole on the side of the road.
Regardless of the cold in Paris, Kapitsa climbed to the top holding on to the iron pole in three attempts.
The acrobats in the circus may not be as skilled as him.
"Anna, Anna,..."
Chen Muwu didn't understand Russian, so he could only understand people's names.
According to his guess, the second half of the sentence should be nothing more than "I'm here!"
People in the 20th century cannot see the conspicuous bags of the 21st century.
Just like people in the twenty-first century who have never seen Kapitsa in the twentieth century.
That is to say, there are no mobile phones, no Internet, and no Tik Tok.
Otherwise, the thing he did would definitely top the list of hot searches in Paris.
A person in his thirties is still so unstable.
I didn’t see Kapitsa drinking along the way. Why did he suddenly become so crazy?
If you have a friend who suddenly does something like this on the street.
Then the most embarrassing person is not the friend himself or the passerby who is watching the joke, but it must be you.
Chen Muwu is now "enjoying" this embarrassment, and at the same time feels a little sorry for the girl named Anna whom he has not yet met.
He was embarrassed for a moment, but she was embarrassed for a lifetime.
Kapitsa's prediction was indeed correct, Anna would come to pick him up outside the train station.
After the latter found her boyfriend hugging the lamppost, she finally squeezed through the crowd.
Kapitsa is like the time ball on the roof of the Greenwich Observatory at one o'clock every afternoon, sliding down from the top along the street light pole.
Then he ran to his lover, whose cheeks were flushed by the Paris winter temperature, and the two hugged each other tightly.
He is a Russian, but he is more romantic than the local French in Paris.
After the hug ended, Anna came over awkwardly and said hello to Chen Muwu, who was also embarrassed. Everyone tacitly did not mention spending Christmas together.
In fact, Chen Muwu had told Kapitsa once before that since they were both in Paris and both wanted girlfriends, why not have a four-person date to go shopping and watch movies together.
But Kapitsa rejected Chen Muwu's proposal. He still enjoyed the world of two people more than the excitement. He neither wanted to be disturbed by other people nor wanted to disturb others.
So the three of them parted ways under that street light pole, and it was estimated that they would not meet again until after the New Year, and Kapitsa would have to return to Cambridge University with him.
Ever since he met de Broglie and Chen Muwu came to Paris, he has never stayed in a hotel at his own expense.
Kapitsa's performance just now attracted not only Anna's attention, but also the attention of many other people.
This is how the driver sent by de Broglie to pick him up found Chen Muwu standing not far under the streetlight, digging his toes into the ground.
"Mr. Chen, that friend of yours, he, uh, he is so energetic!"
It is estimated that the driver also pondered for a long time before finally choosing a less offensive word.
After a period of driving, the car slowly drove into a large manor on the outskirts of Paris.
Ye Gongchao was happily chatting with Debroglie a second ago, thanking him for not forgetting him and thinking of inviting him to his home before Christmas.
The next second, he saw Brother Hanchen pushing the door open, and then he saw De Broglie jumping up from his chair and running to the door, hugging Chen Muwu first, and then saluted him face to face.
"Chen, you seem to have lost a lot of weight! The food in that part of the UK is really not good. If you ask me, you might as well come to the Sorbonne and be a colleague with me."
In addition to being the youngest son of a noble family, de Broglie now had a new identity.
After completing his PhD, he took a teaching position at the Sorbonne University in Paris.
Compared with the UK, the food in France is really good, but it’s better to forget about being a professor in Paris. Tickets to Dunkirk are not easy to buy.
"Have we not seen each other for more than a year? The last time we were separated was when you came back from Sweden after receiving the Nobel Prize."
"Indeed, exactly one year."
"Oh, what a pity, Chen. I think both deuterium and the Chen effect in superconductors are Nobel Prize-level discoveries.
“If your two papers could have been published half a year earlier, maybe this year’s physics and chemistry prizes would be yours.
"It's a pity, it's a pity that the two results you published this year were a little late, so those three German guys took advantage.
"However, the judges of this year's Literature Award were very discerning. They awarded the award to the Irishman Bernard Shaw. I saw his award-winning work "Joan of Arc" in London last year. The script was very good. A very objective account of the great life of our French heroine."
There were so many flaws in De Broglie's words that Chen Muwu didn't even know where to start.
Did he think that the Nobel Prize was awarded by the Chen family or by their own family?
You can win awards if you want, and you can win as many as you want?
It is estimated that even another good friend of Chen Muwu, the Crown Prince of Sweden, cannot have such great power.
Can deuterium and superconductor magnetic effects win prizes?
able.
Even if he publishes his paper a few months in advance, can Chen Muwu win the award this year?
cannot.
He already won a Nobel Prize last year. If he wins it again this year, it will not just be a person winning two Nobel Prizes, but a person winning a Nobel Prize every year for two consecutive years.
And if, as de Broglie said, Chen Muwu wins both the physics and chemistry prizes this year, then the record he set will be even more amazing.
I won two awards at the same time in one year, and three awards in two consecutive years.
Think of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences as a supermarket, right?
In order to maintain the authority of the Nobel Prize, even if Chen Muwu announced his results a few months in advance, those on the Nobel Prize jury would definitely not award him the prize again and let him win again.
So in the future, can Chen Muwu still win awards?
It’s hard to say.
At least until now, the only person to win the Nobel Prize twice is Marie Curie.
Her status in the scientific community is as high as Mount Tai and Beidou.
Chen Muwu is a young boy, and it is completely impossible for him to be on the same level as his future mother-in-law.
Even his teacher Rutherford failed to win the second Nobel Prize, so why would they give it to him again?
Chen Muwu feels that if he wants to win a second Nobel Prize in the future, he must at least wait until the jury no longer pays so much attention to seniority, but only judges based on his contribution to the development of science and technology.
But by that time, he is probably already back in China. Because of his different ideologies, it is hard to say whether the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences will award him the prize a second time.
And the three people who won this year, Frank, Hertz and Sigmundi, have certainly made great contributions to the development of science.
But when it comes to the Frenchman de Broglie, they become three German guys.
As for "Joan of Arc"...
Chen Muwu really wants to know how the old Parisian de Broglie would feel if he could see the AI-generated stills of the Netflix version of "Joan of Arc".
The pleasantries after the good friends met finally ended. Chen Muwu stretched out his hand to stop Ye Gongchao, who was about to sneak away while he wasn't paying attention.
"Gongchao, what do you mean, don't you want to see me?"
Ye Gongchao's feelings for Chen Muwu are a bit complicated.
On the one hand, this is the eldest brother of his family. Of course, it may be more accurate to call him uncle.
Before writing the book, I was just a young man who relied on his uncle to give him money every year and lived a wild life.
After writing the book, he tasted the sweetness of making money through self-reliance. With the income from royalties and the relatively low price level in France, his life in Paris was far more colorful than in the UK.
Making money by writing books is making money, but on the other hand, this Chen Muwu is merciless when he exploits people.
Isn’t their family a farming and studying family? Why is he more like those wealthy landlords than a scholar?
"Brother Hanchen, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much! When did you come to France? Why didn't you write to me in advance?"
Chen Muwu sneered in his heart: Write a letter? Is it useful to write to you?
I wrote so many letters, and at first I pretended to be dumbfounded in my replies, but in the end I didn’t even reply at all.
That's why Chen Muwu asked Debroglie in advance to invite Ye Gongchao to his home and surprise him by going up to the house to take out the stairs.
Although they haven't seen each other for nearly a year, the friendship between the two people is still there.
What Chen Muwu wanted to say to Ye Gongchao was much more than what he had just said to Debroglie.
After all the talk, he finally told Ye Gongchao the story that happened on the Nile River.
Unexpectedly, Ye Gongchao did not show any resistance, but readily agreed.
Chen Muwu thought at first that he had either figured it out or was itching to write again.
But the answer Ye Gongchao gave was another: He planned to return to China after the school year ends next summer, and had already found a position as an English teacher in Beida.
He left home when he was young and has been studying in the United States and Europe for many years. He missed home.
That's why Ye Gongchao didn't mind doing Chen Muwu a favor before leaving, and he could also earn some travel expenses for his return trip.
There is no way to persuade this.
If Ye Gongchao just wanted to enter university and live out his addiction to being a teacher, then Chen Muwu could still invite him to Sweden.
But he misses home, so he can only wish this little brother a safe journey.
Chen Muwu rested for a night at Debroglie's house, which relieved him from the fatigue of the past few days of travel.
The next day, he took the gift that Oppenheimer bought for him, took a car, and visited Madame Curie's house.
As the most important holiday in Europe, the preparations before Christmas are also complicated and tedious.
This year, besides Chen Muwu, there was another man who went to the prospective mother-in-law's house to help.
Of course, this person is not Chen Muwu's love rival, but the boyfriend of Eve's sister Irena, Jean Joliot.
Last year, he entered Marie Curie's laboratory as an assistant, and at the same time he met Irena, who also helped here.
Chen Muwu has been waiting for this day.
If nothing else happens, his brother-in-law should get married to Irena next summer.
After that, he can start preparing for his wedding with Eve.
There are five people in the house, each with different thoughts.
Madame Curie was not only happy to see that the two daughters she had worked so hard to raise had found someone they loved, but she also felt a little sad because she foresaw that they would soon marry and become wives and leave her.
Originally, falling in love with Madame Curie's daughter had already put a lot of pressure on Joliot.
He would often be pointed out behind his back by other people in the laboratory, saying that he was an opportunist who wanted to take advantage of the Curies' fame, so he fell in love with Irena, who was three years older than him. .
Now, another Chen Muwu has come to the Curie family.
Although he had known about Chen Muwu for a long time and the relationship between him and Eve, after meeting the real person, Yorio felt even more inferior.
Except for the innocent little sister Eve who is not involved in scientific research, he seems to be the most "waste" person in the whole family.
Indeed, as Yorio thought, Eve was the one with the least psychological burden among the five.
Although she has graduated from the Sevigne College in Paris this summer, she is still a child at heart.
Her lover, whom she hadn't seen for a year, came to France from the UK to spend Christmas with her. Eve couldn't even be happy.
After Chen Muwu finally greeted everyone, she hugged his arm: "Shall we go see Chaplin's "The Gold Rush" today? I heard that the movie was very interesting to shoot!"
