If we only divide it by region, the current University of Cambridge can be said to be the world leader in terms of the average physics level of young people and the concentration of future well-known physicists.
Among his subordinates were Oppenheimer, Zhao Zhongyao, Shi Ruwei and Cockcroft;
His friends include Dirac, Kapitsa and Blackett, plus Chadwick;
Now we have to add von Neumann, de Broglie and Heisenberg from afar.
Chen Muwu experienced Bohr's fun for the first time.
He can't even count how many tasks he has going on at the same time:
Although the generator was completed, he turned around and worked with Cockcroft to develop another important component of the particle accelerator, the proton source;
Ramsey is still studying the handshake problem he raised, intending to work out a Chern-Ramsey theorem, and then see if he can develop a corresponding Chern-Ramsey theory from it;
Dirac, von Neumann, Oppenheimer, and nominally himself, were writing textbooks on quantum mechanics;
And von Neumann had just finished writing a mathematics paper, and his name was also listed in the author column;
…
With so many talented and virtuous people around as helpers, you can easily get a lot of good reputations without trying your best on anything.
Human beings' sorrows and joys are not the same. Rutherford was still worrying about how to keep Chen Muwu at Cambridge University, but the person involved, Xiao Chen, was thinking about how to get rid of the two guests who had just come from afar and had not rested. Gather some wool.
You can't treat them to a dinner at Trinity College for nothing, can you?
It can only be said that de Broglie and Heisenberg came at the right time. After visiting the Cavendish Laboratory, they could visit a new attraction, a room independent of the Cavendish Laboratory. It contains the generator that Chen Muwu's team successfully developed not long ago.
Unlike before, when the research and development process was kept secret and not visible to the public, since the development was successful, papers and news were published, and patents were applied for, Rutherford wished he could invite every physicist who visited the University of Cambridge. Everyone go meet this big baby.
Hearing is better than seeing. After seeing and realizing how important this machine is to microphysical research, they were interested in spending money to purchase patents or finished products from the Cavendish Laboratory.
This will be an important source of funding for laboratory expansion in the next few years.
People are suffering and dissatisfied, so they have to return to Long and look to Shu.
Ever since Chen Muwu helped him bring in 10,000 pounds per year, doubling the laboratory's funding, Rutherford had tasted the sweetness of being rich.
He very much hopes that the funding will increase, and he also hopes that Chen Muwu can make more experimental discoveries and bring more wealth to the Cavendish Laboratory by converting experimental discoveries into products.
The two guests had completely different attitudes towards the particle accelerator, which required wearing electrostatic suits to visit.
When Heisenberg was in university in Germany, he was not very interested in doing physical experiments because of Pauli.
He almost failed to get his degree certificate because he failed the experimental exam.
After graduating from Ph.D., Heisenberg stayed in Germany for a while, and then accepted Bohr's invitation to go to Copenhagen. From then on, he hunched over his desk every day and dealt with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, gradually drifting away from experimental physics.
So when he came to the room where the generator was located, he just politely cooperated to visit it.
Heisenberg had no idea of purchasing the patent or the complete machine from Cambridge University and building such a machine at the Institute of Theoretical Physics after returning to Denmark.
Even if he really gets it back, it is estimated that Bohr will not like this big toy too much, and it will not be long before he has to eat the ashes of Northern Europe in Copenhagen.
Unlike Heisenberg, de Broglie really liked the generator placed in the room.
When he first saw it, he had the same emotion as Chen Sheng's old friend in "Chen She's Family".
"Chen, you really created an amazing guy!"
Chen Muwu originally wanted to pretend to curse an ignorant country bumpkin in his heart, but after thinking about it, he was more like a country bumpkin compared to the two of them, so he made an emergency stop and changed his name to an ignorant big dog.
Is this a big guy at this size? Just sprinkle water.
If what I had reproduced at Cambridge University was the three- or four-story "atom smasher" made by Westinghouse Electric in the United States, I would have been called a big guy.
Maybe in a few years, it will become a beautiful scenery along the Jianhe River.
There is the London Eye on the Thames and the Crusher beside the River Cam.
Although I am very proud in my heart, I still have to remain humble in my mouth.
Chen Muwu, with a fake smile on his face, said politely: "No, no, Louis, you're flattered."
"How much does this machine cost? I want to take one back to France and put it in the Radium Institute of the University of Paris."
Hearing him ask this question, Chen Muwu's fake smile froze on his face.
When most people ask for a price like de Broglie, shouldn't they add a sentence between the two sentences to become "...how much? If it's not expensive, I think..."?
Why did this little Duke, without asking whether he was noble or inferior, and without bargaining, just said he wanted to buy one?
Rich people can really do whatever they want!
De Broglie's behavior clearly shows that he regards Chen Muwu as a good friend and helps him make money.
It is a physics experimental device. It is enough to show people around every day. After the visit, free photography services are provided. Every visitor can get a photo with the particle accelerator.
Apart from here, which other laboratory in the world can be so considerate?
It’s clear that I hope visitors can take photos to help promote the show after they go back, making it easier to sell goods!
But.
The Institute of Radium Science at the University of Paris was the territory of Marie Curie.
De Broglie said that he would put the particle accelerator in the Radium Research Institute, and he thought he was doing Chen Muwu two favors at once.
Not only helped him sell goods, but also helped him please his future mother-in-law.
But Chen Muwu panicked all of a sudden.
He had already promised Madame Curie that after the particle accelerator was successfully developed and built, he would give her one.
Is it necessary for you, the little Duke, to interfere in some trivial matters?
If he really brought a generator back to Paris from Cambridge University, it would be a disservice.
It was true that Chen Muwu promised to send a particle accelerator to Marie Curie, but he did not say that he would build the accelerator in Paris!
He also hopes to use a better particle accelerator to attract his mother-in-law and his eldest sister's family to travel to Northern Europe together!
No matter how high the selling price is, as long as it is not too outrageous, de Broglie can easily buy the particle accelerator.
Asking for excessive prices won't work, you can only play the emotional card with him.
"Louis, thank you very much. I appreciate your kindness. As for Madame Curie, I have already promised to give her one. The money for this particle accelerator should not be paid by you either emotionally or rationally. Let’s go to the River Cam and see the heroic figures of the athletes of the Cambridge University rowing team!”
Watching rowing on the River Cam is a seasonal event when traveling to Cambridgeshire. It can only be seen in the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn.
Heisenberg was also not interested in this attraction. He only thought about when he could complete these formalist processes and fast forward to discuss theoretical physics issues with Chen Muwu.
He was very interested in the paper on path integrals published by Chen Muwu not long ago.
After working as a tour guide himself, Chen Muwu realized how hard it is to do such a job under the bright sun in the summer.
All he wanted now was to find a way to get rid of these two guests, seize the time to join Cockcroft, and get the proton source out.
Leaving the stretch of river where the rowers were training, the three of them walked along the banks of the Cam River, through the streets and alleys, and back to the door of the Cavendish Laboratory.
Entering the laboratory, walking up the iron stairs to the second floor, and opening the office door, there was a bustling scene inside.
Heisenberg always felt that Chen Muwu was a monster, otherwise why could he overhear his own voice?
In Chen Muwu's laboratory, several like-minded young people gathered together to discuss problems and collide with ideas.
This scene made Heisenberg instantly remember the vitality and excitement of the Institute of Theoretical Physics in Copenhagen.
This is what physicists should do when they get together!
The topic they discussed was quantum mechanics, which he was very interested in.
After introducing them to each other, Chen Muwu used the excuse that he had something to do and needed to leave for a while.
No one minded his disrespectful behavior, but Heisenberg was very happy.
In Copenhagen, it was Bohr's territory. Although this teacher could also speak German, more often than not, whether in daily life or academic discussions, he had to make every effort to learn and speak Danish at the same time.
When Heisenberg came to England this time, he thought he would do as the Romans did, and he would improvise in English that he was not very proficient in.
Unexpectedly, I would meet a von Neumann who could speak German in Chen Muwu's office.
The fellow villagers burst into tears when they saw the fellow villagers.
After leaving his office, Chen Muwu hurriedly wanted to rush to Cockcroft's side.
But "when entering the circle of thousands of mountains, every mountain will let go of the mountain." Just after taking a few steps out, another Kapitsa jumped out and blocked the way.
"Chen, I just wanted to find you, but I didn't expect to meet you here! Trinity College has a letter from you, so I brought it to you."
He handed the letter into Chen Muwu's hand. The address of the sender on the envelope was the Swedish Embassy in the UK.
Another letter from Sweden?
"Thanks, Peter."
After thanking him, he put the letter into the inner pocket of his suit, planning to open it and read it when he got there later.
But Kapitsa had no intention of getting out of the way: "Chen, do you have time now? I have a few words to say to you."
You still have to give face to a good friend, and looking at him, a person who usually laughs and laughs, now has a serious face, Chen Muwu feels that it is abnormal.
He nodded and followed Kapitsa to his office.
After letting Chen Muwu into the room and bolting the door, Kapitsa walked over and sat down opposite Chen Muwu.
"Chen, I want to ask you, can you spare a month or two in the next one to two years?"
"Ah, what are you doing? Do you want to get married?"
No one was an outsider, and Chen Muwu expressed his first reaction.
I will definitely go to Kapitsa's wedding, but isn't it a little too much for a month or two?
It didn't take the little emperor in the Forbidden City as long as he did to get married.
"That's not true," he shook his head. "A few days ago, I received a letter from my teacher, Professor Yofei. He is now the director of the Institute of Physics and Technology of the Surian Academy of Sciences. The Surian Academy of Sciences wants to invite You go to Sulian to visit and give lectures for a month or two."
Amid this turmoil, Su Lian arrived late but nonetheless.
Chen Muwu was criticized by the media controlled by the British government because he supported the workers' strike.
And Su Lian was considered to be the mastermind behind the strike.
Although they had already tested Chen Muwu's political leanings, after learning that Chen Muwu might leave Cambridge University, they immediately wanted to invite him to Sulian to serve as a professor like other countries.
But they couldn't bring this matter to light.
As soon as Chen Muwu said that he supported the strike to support the workers, Su Lian invited him to visit. People with ulterior motives could easily connect the two things together.
If the British media takes the opportunity to publicize it, it will have a very negative impact on both Chen Muwu and Su Lian.
The staff of the Sulian Embassy in the UK are extremely busy every day.
Because of the strike, the British Foreign Secretary sent them diplomatic notes every day, and the two countries were on the verge of severing diplomatic relations.
Even if Chen Muwu is invited to visit Sulian, he can only choose such a sneaky way, through the two intermediaries, Yofei and Kapitsa.
Kapitsa posed a difficult problem to Chen Muwu: whether to go to Sulian or not, he was now undecided.
Mainly because I still have a lot of things to do, and soon I will have to attend a wedding in Paris.
Not long ago, Eve wrote a letter to Chen Muwu. In the letter, in addition to expressing her love for her with sweet words, she also told him that the wedding of her sister and brother-in-law had been postponed from summer to October for one reason or another.
This gave Chen Muwu a chance to breathe, allowing him to complete his current work to the best of his ability.
If he had another month or two to go to Sulian, he would have to break his time in half every second.
Chen Muwu told the truth. Kapitsa, who had no hope from beginning to end, naturally would not be disappointed.
He knew very well that in the past few days, many people from universities around the world had written to Chen Muwu, sent telegrams, or even visited him to invite him to teach in other countries.
Even if Chen Muwu wanted to leave Cambridge, why would he fall in love with Su Lian, who was broke and wasted and waiting for success?
Kapitsa was thinking about how to reply to this letter from his teacher, Professor Yofei, when Chen Muwu opened the letter from the Swedish Embassy.
After reading the contents of the letter from beginning to end, Chen Muwu suddenly changed his mind.
He raised his head and looked at the unhappy Kapitsa: "Peter, one or two months is too long. Look, if you don't count the time spent traveling back and forth on the road, how about two weeks? Just enough time. I may pass by Su Lian some time. I just heard that it is very difficult to apply for a visa in your country..."
"I will handle it!"
Kapitsa immediately became as if he had been injected with blood.
