Compared with Nishina Yoshio, Arakatsu Bunzai is much less famous.
But the reason why Chen Muwu knew about such a person was because he went to Yiwan University for academic exchanges before President Tsai came to power and when cross-strait relations were still relatively relaxed.
Since they were participating in an academic exchange in physics, the Department of Physics of the University of Science and Technology, which was responsible for the reception, specially sent people to accompany them to visit the Physics Cultural Relics Hall to show the glorious history of the University to these mud-legged compatriots from across the Taiwan Strait.
Located in the center of the cultural relics exhibition hall is a circle of instruments surrounded by fences. The appearance of those instruments looks very chronological.
The lecturer said proudly with a Wawan accent: "The 240keV Cockcroft-Walton (Cockcroft-Walton) voltage-doubling rectification classic accelerator in front of you was built in 1934 at Wabei Imperial University. of.
“This is the first accelerator in Asia, even earlier than Yoshio Nishina in Japan at that time.
"The person who built this machine was Fumuse Arakatsu, the first chair professor of the 'Physics Lecture' at the Northern Imperial University.
"Professor Huang Sheng was hired as a professor at the University in 1926, but before joining the job, he was sent to study in Europe for two years. He was Einstein's student in Berlin, and also went to the Cavendish Laboratory. Rutherford's men conducted experiments. …"
Anyway, the commentator was very proud, and his words and deeds were full of the tone and gesture of Nanbo Bay.
A scientific development she had made in the colonies made her, a wealthy person, proud of her.
Her bossy performance at that time left a deep memory in Chen Muwu's mind, so he could now clearly know who the Arakatsu Bunce was that Yoshio Nishina wrote in the letter.
Just as the commentator said, it is true that Arakatsu Bunce went to Europe to study in 1926, that is, this year.
But this person should first go to Berlin, Germany, and then come to the Cavendish Laboratory!
What do you think this means? Did he come directly to Cambridge University this time?
Could it be said that this is also the butterfly effect caused by flapping its wings?
He met Yoshio Nishina accidentally, and Yoshio Nishina believed that Dr. Chen Muwu was really working hard for the rise of Asia, so he recommended Arakatsu Bunce to follow him?
This joke is too big!
It's all fun, but this man must not stay in the Cavendish Laboratory, nor can he stay at Cambridge University.
The commentator said that it was 1934 when Arakatsu Wence built the Cockcroft accelerator in Weibei.
The inventor of the Cockcroft accelerator, Cockcroft, who is currently working under Chen Muwu, built the world's first accelerator at Cambridge University in 1932.
This shows that Huang Shengwence's copycat imitation ability is very good.
Perhaps he had already met Cockcroft while studying at the Cavendish Laboratory and heard the latter talk about accelerator ideas.
However, Arakatsu Wenze left Europe and returned to Yiwan in 1928. He must have never seen what the particle accelerator built by Cockcroft looked like.
With just the brief exchange before, he was able to reproduce an accelerator in two years.
At this moment, Chen Muwu’s team is also in the process of developing an accelerator.
Recruiting or keeping such people under your control is definitely a serious problem.
Even without seeing the real thing, Arakatsu Wenze could build a Cockcroft-type accelerator in two years.
If he is allowed to see a real thing at Cambridge University this time, and it is an accelerator that is theoretically simpler than the Cockcroft type, it is estimated that Arakatsu Wenze will be able to copy the accelerator in a shorter time.
After the accelerator was built at the Northern Imperial University, Arakatsu Bunze was immediately recalled to the country by the Kyoto Imperial University and returned to his local mainstream physics community to study nuclear physics.
Chen Muwu has already advanced the appearance of accelerators by a few years. If Huang Shengwence allows the academic community to focus on nuclear physics earlier, there will be too many variables in the future.
But if you think about it carefully, it's not that much. Maybe I can hone my skills to a very good level, but if I only have skills without enough uranium, I just have the skill of slaying dragons in vain.
Swimmers go to the desert to compete and look at the swimming pool without a drop of water, and they can only do nothing.
However, this still made Chen Muwu very unhappy. In order to deceive Yoshio Nishina into studying superconducting physics, he not only spent a long time in Denmark talking about superconducting physics, but also forcibly spent half a year last year at the David Faraday Laboratory in London to study such Long-term low-temperature physics - although he achieved a lot of results, he also made a lot of money.
If now because of the arrival of Huang Shengwen Ce, Ben is led to the right path of nuclear physics, wouldn't everything he has done before be in vain?
Nothing can make him come!
Not only would he not be able to fulfill Nishina Yoshio's request, but he would also have to convince his teacher, Rutherford, to refuse Arakatsu Bunsaku's application for admission just as he had rejected Oppenheimer!
Chen Muwu made up his mind, and first took out his typewriter and wrote a reply to Yoshio Nishina, "reprimanding" him for his teacher Rutherford's unkindness:
Old Prague is getting old. The fact that the David Faraday Laboratory has achieved so many research results and brought it back to the forefront of low-temperature physics in the world is all thanks to me, Chen Muwu.
The teacher recalled himself from London to the University of Cambridge, and threatened him not to study low-temperature physics, which had produced a lot of results, by stopping providing scholarships, so that he could refocus his work on nuclear physics to find that ethereal thing that might not be possible at all. There are no "electrically neutral particles".
Rutherford was undoubtedly jealous of the attention and funding the Royal Institute received and the fact that they could build a new laboratory. That's why he did this out of jealousy.
His approach is to destroy British low-temperature physics!
At the end of the letter, Chen Muwu wrote that he left the David Faraday Laboratory this time and did not know when he would be able to devote himself to the research of low-temperature physics again.
The future development of superconductivity, a promising subject, can only be entrusted to Nishina.
I hope he can study hard and win glory for Asia!
As for the matter about Huang Sheng Wence, Chen Muwu did not recommend him to come to the Cavendish Laboratory based on his personal experience.
As he grew older, Rutherford was no longer the Rutherford he was back then. He had already developed a common problem among the elderly, which was that he began to rest on his laurels and continued to obliterate young people's passion for scientific research. He himself was a living An example of obliteration.
Chen Muwu said that he could help, and wrote a letter of recommendation to Leiden University, asking them to accept Arakatsu Wence, so that Yoshio Nishina could be accompanied by his compatriots in a foreign country.
After writing such a sincere letter, he was so moved that he cried.
Chen Muwu's complaints and complaints in the letter were very sincere, and contained deep anger and helplessness.
It's just that the contents on the letter paper are false except for the English letters.
In order to make Nishina Yoshio believe it was true, he could only create a little reputation and not respect his teacher so much, so that the teacher would take the blame for once.
Chen Muwu silently said sorry to Rutherford countless times in his heart.
This should be able to continue to fool me, right? Even if it takes a few years for them to realize that they have been deceived, that would be great!
The moment he put the letter into the envelope and sealed it, Chen Muwu even had a somewhat absurd but not-so-absurd idea in his mind: How about finding a chance to actually give a lecture at this university?
There is no use in fooling a few overseas students like Yoshio Nishina. They are all too young. It will take at least several decades to have enough say after returning to China.
The physics community must be made aware of the importance of low-temperature physics and superconductivity from top to bottom.
If he really makes such a trip to Japan, maybe Yukawa Hideki, who is currently studying in college, may become an expert in low-temperature physics in the future!
By the way, don’t they love studying the fastest trains in the world?
I admit that your railway technology is very strong, but if I take out the principle of superconducting levitation train, how should you respond?
Just writing a letter to Nishina Yoshio was not enough. Chen Muwu thought it was best to have a double insurance policy on this matter.
It's getting late today. I'll talk to Rutherford about this tomorrow and tell him not to recruit any more students to the Cavendish Laboratory!
Chinese students are more hard-working and obedient than me, and the probability of someone being extremely smart, such as himself, is also high, so we might consider recruiting more students.
After dawn the next day, new variables appeared in the planned itinerary.
After Chen Muwu finished breakfast, he wanted to go to the Cavendish Laboratory to find Rutherford.
As soon as he walked out of Trinity College, he met Oppenheimer walking towards here again.
"Teacher Chen, Teacher Chen!"
Looking at the expression on his face, Chen Muwu knew that the tasks entrusted to him before were almost completed.
Oppenheimer was running along with something in his hand. Chen Muwu was too embarrassed to stand still and took a few steps forward to meet him.
"Robert, when did you set off, why didn't you tell us in advance?"
"I wrote a letter! After I bought the ticket, I wrote a letter and threw it in the mailbox at the port. I guess there was something wrong with it, so it couldn't be delivered, right?"
"Uh, Robert, did you buy the latest ship to England?"
"Of course, I've had enough of the prohibition America. I wish I could fly to England and quench my thirst with a glass of beer!"
Although alcohol is banned in the United States, it stands to reason that Oppenheimer's family background would not have a difficult time drinking.
But Chen Muwu didn't get too entangled on this point. He just felt that he hadn't seen him for more than a month. Why did Oppenheimer have an extra attribute of being stupid?
Although in 1919, British Royal Air Force pilots had already flown airplanes from Canada to Ireland, which was still part of the United Kingdom at that time, completing the feat of flying an airplane across the Atlantic for the first time in human history.
But until 1926, the flight routes used to transport mail between the United States and Europe were still unclear.
Letters between two continents separated by oceans can still only be transported by cruise ships.
It is known that Oppenheimer bought a ticket for the latest cruise ship to the UK, and at the same time mailed a letter to the UK informing the specific itinerary, so which cruise ship will this letter take to arrive in the UK? ?
It certainly won't be the previous one that has already departed.
Therefore, there is a high probability that Oppenheimer came to England on the same cruise ship as the letter he wrote.
He rushed to Cambridge overnight, but his letter had to be sorted and transported by the Royal Mail, so it could only arrive in Cambridge later than he did, not earlier!
After listening to Chen Muwu's explanation, Oppenheim blushed. He did not expect that he would do such a crazy thing.
But he was a little unwilling to give in: "So, Mr. Chen, the person who bought the ticket for the latest boat can never inform the other person of his or her itinerary?"
"In this case, we usually send a telegram."
Although Oppenheimer made a ridiculous mistake when it came to writing letters, the tasks that Chen Muwu asked him to do were still handled reliably.
He told Chen Muwu that he had spent all the US$60,000 he had entrusted him with to buy US stocks, buying General Motors, whose stock price was around US$20.
Oppenheimer also elaborated on his stock selection strategy. With the prosperity of the economy, the U.S. automobile industry has experienced a blowout development.
At first he wanted to buy a Ford car, but when he went to the exchange, he was told that Ford was not listed at all, so he had to settle for the next best thing and buy General Motors, the largest car in the stock market.
"Well done, Robert!"
For Chen Muwu, it doesn't matter which stock he buys, as long as he buys it.
Anyway, this is a bull market that will continue for several years. You can make a fortune by buying with your eyes closed!
In the past year or two, two things have become particularly popular in the United States.
In 1922, the tomb of Tutankhamun in ancient Egypt was discovered by archaeologists. Because it is ancient and mysterious, many products with ancient Egyptian elements appeared on the American market.
The other one is something that also comes from a country with a long history, mahjong.
The more a country has no history, the more it likes these things with a long history.
Mahjong comes from Teacher Chen's hometown, and according to rumors, it was he who introduced this domino game to Cambridge and led a trend here. This kind of thing is definitely not suitable as a gift.
So what Oppenheimer was carrying was a tea set with Tutankhamun elements that he wanted to give to Chen Muwu.
It was both a ship and a train. The fact that he could bring a fragile tea set from the United States to the United Kingdom showed how hard he worked.
After thanking and accepting Oppenheimer's gift and handing it to the porter of Trinity College, Chen Muwu rushed to the Cavendish Laboratory with him.
He asked Oppenheimer to go to his laboratory and wait for a while, but he went to Rutherford's office.
When Chen Muwu walked in, he found the scene he least expected to see.
The teacher behind the desk and Professor Bohr on the sofa were puffing away at their pipes.
Before he could speak, Bohr spoke first: "Oh, Dr. Chen, I was just thinking about having a chat with you sometime!"
The three people he wanted to see, the person he wanted to see and himself, happened to be gathered together at this time.
