Although Oppenheimer was unable to travel eastward with him, Chen Muwu did not set off alone.
After his persuasion failed, de Broglie left Cambridge with him.
It was not de Broglie who persuaded Chen Muwu to stay, but Chen Muwu who persuaded de Broglie to stay at Cambridge University for a few more days.
What Chen Muwu thought was that he would be idle after arriving in France anyway. Even though he was here, he might as well stay in the Cavendish Laboratory and follow Cockcroft and the others, doing experiments and so on.
But de Broglie didn't think so. Unlike von Neumann and Heisenberg, the two young men who came to Cambridge University for the first time, he had already been here a few years ago, and that I stayed there for several months at a time, and it didn't feel new to me anymore.
And the purpose of his trip was to meet Chen Muwu.
If he is really expelled from Cambridge University, by the way, invite him to Paris.
Now that Chen Muwu is leaving, Debroglie feels that there is no point in staying.
It would be better for the two of us to go together and have someone with us on the way back to Paris.
In fact, to go to St. Petersburg from the UK, there is no need to cross the Channel first, then take a train and spend several days and nights on the European continent.
There is also a more direct way that does not require frequent changes of transportation, and that is to take a boat.
After all, St. Petersburg is also a port city. You only need to board the ship from Norwich and cross the North Sea and the Baltic Sea.
It's just that Kapitsa, who was born locally, would not choose such a way to travel. Chen Muwu felt that there was no need to take this risk. His trip to Beihai a few years ago still left a deep impression on him.
This time I went to the train station in Cambridgeshire and took the same car from Kapitsa.
However, the driver was replaced by Dirac, but he still couldn't resist the temptation of driving pleasure. After joining St. John's College, he negotiated with Kapitsa and bought this second-hand car on an installment plan.
Kapitsa was also sitting in this car. His identity was not Dirac's coach, but Chen Muwu's accompaniment on his visit to the Soviet Union, and he also served as his translator after he arrived in the Soviet Union.
Two of his favorite good students left the laboratory at once, and Rutherford must have been very reluctant to part with them.
Kapitsa returns home every summer to visit relatives, which seems to have become a rhythmic behavior of animals, and everyone in the Cavendish Laboratory has long been accustomed to it.
The reason given by Chen Muwu was the same. He also wanted to return to China to visit relatives, but he was just passing by Su Lian.
There is nothing wrong with this reason, but it would be very unkind to refuse.
Rutherford could only comfort himself in his heart. This was much better than Chen Muwu leaving Cambridge University in a fit of anger. Just leave for a few months.
This is the first step in Chen Muwu's journey back home.
After a day and night, he arrived in Paris, where de Broglie parted with him.
A few months ago, Chen Muwu said that he would take advantage of the opportunity of Irena and Jolio's marriage to ask Kapitsa, who was short of money at the time because he was scrimping to buy a car, to come to Paris with him in the summer.
Now that the two of them were here as promised, Chen Muwu could not break his promise.
Although the travel expenses for this trip were all paid for by the Sulian Academy of Sciences, not Chen Muwu, in the final analysis, it still came from him.
The two lovers are both in Paris. It is a rare occasion. Even if time is tight, there is no reason not to meet.
Kapitsa went to see Anna, and Chen Muwu visited Madame Curie's house.
No matter whether she has changed into a girl or she has become more mature as she grows older, Eve is more charming now than she was a few years ago, and her mind is also a bit more stable.
A few years ago, if I heard Chen Muwu say that he was going to Sulian, then Eve would definitely act coquettishly in front of Madame Curie and ask her to allow her to go with Dr. Chen, taking this opportunity to visit this emerging country. Ichiban.
But now Eve has chosen to stay. Although her sister and brother-in-law are getting married in a few months, they still follow their mother to the Radium Research Institute to conduct research and experiments every day, and do not have much time to prepare for the wedding. .
Eve consciously took on the responsibility of helping them. In addition to sharing the family's worries, she also had a girlish mentality behind her.
In a few years, she would get married soon, and the preparations for the wedding were just a rehearsal to gain experience for when it was her turn in the future.
After being sweet with Eve for a while, Marie Curie couldn't help "beating the two lovers", temporarily separated the two sweet lovers, and called Chen Muwu to the sofa.
After the electric motor was successfully developed, teacher Rutherford was very embarrassed. He read the paper and the news in the newspaper, and wanted to tell the world about it.
Britain and France are not far apart, and as a center of world physics, physicists all over the world are closely following the various results produced by the Cavendish Laboratory.
At Christmas last year, Marie Curie heard this matter from Chen Muwu, who was visiting at the time.
He said that he was developing a machine at Cambridge University that could accelerate charged particles into high-energy particles, and said that after the development was successful, he would definitely send one to honor her.
Apparently, the machine Chen Muwu mentioned before should be the same one used by Rutherford.
With such a good thing, who can not be tempted?
After Chen Muwu talked to Marie Curie before, she really seriously considered whether to leave France, where she had lived for many years, and go to Sweden to conduct research for the rest of her life.
Madame Curie called him to the sofa just to ask him about the outcome of this matter.
The big liar Chen Muwu knew that there was still such a thing waiting for him, and he did not hide it, telling the whole story about the development of generators and the problems currently encountered in the Cavendish Laboratory.
Listening to Chen Muwu, as long as the particle source is successfully produced, the high voltage generated by the generator can be used to accelerate protons to bombard various target elements. Madame Curie was very happy, and even her ancient and unwavering heart was vaguely Some excitement.
Until now, there has been only one particle source that can be found in the laboratory, and that is alpha particles.
Although there are three types of natural radioactivity, beta particles are electrons and gamma particles are light. These two particles have no effect on collisions with atomic nuclei.
Although alpha particles have already carried a certain amount of energy when they are emitted, sometimes their own energy is not enough. If you want to add an external electric field to add energy to them, you can't increase it much. .
Now there is a machine that can accelerate charged particles. Maybe future microphysics research will undergo earth-shaking changes because of the emergence of this machine.
The truth is the truth, but Chen Muwu exaggerated a bit in some places.
He told Marie Curie that after the machine was actually built, the floor area and vertical space required would be larger than those previously designed on the blueprint, and an additional electrostatic shielding room would need to be built for observation. Particle accelerator operating status and experimental results.
However, Chen Muwu still had some conscience and did not boast that his few small houses in Cambridgeshire were three or four stories high.
——This is much more conscientious than the actual braised beef noodle packaging, which has several large pieces of beef painted on it, but the beef cubes are no bigger than a dice after being soaked for half a month.
Because early tomorrow morning, Chen Muwu would meet up with Kapitsa and leave Paris to continue heading northeast.
Therefore, Madame Curie was not too embarrassed to leave her prospective son-in-law until too late to ask him about various matters in the Cavendish Laboratory.
After talking about the particle accelerator, she let Chen Muwu go to the guest room to rest.
However, Mrs. Curie was still somewhat skeptical about Chen Muwu's statement.
Hearing is false, seeing is believing. According to what Chen Muwu means, when he comes back from the East in two months, the proton source should be successfully developed and the particle accelerator can be put into use.
Marie Curie was considering whether she should follow Chen Muwu to the Cavendish Laboratory when he was returning to Cambridge University via France to see if the big thing created by the New Zealanders was as miraculous as he boasted.
If it was really a killer of particle physics research and there was no room for it at the Radium Institute of the University of Paris, she would really have to consider moving her family to Stockholm in the cold north.
Although the nearby University of Cambridge also has a particle accelerator, it is under the supervision of others and has many constraints and inconveniences.
Going to Sweden was to help his son-in-law start a new business, which was completely different in nature.
Early the next morning, after bidding farewell to Madame Curie and her family, Chen Muwu and Kapitsa met again in front of the Paris train station, under the telegraph pole that Kapitsa had climbed up.
The two boarded the train again and continued their trip to Sulian.
Chen Muwu agreed to Kapitsa's invitation and visited Sulian. On the one hand, he was waiting here for the Swedish Crown Prince and others who were continuing to move eastward.
On the one hand, I also want to recruit some good students in this big country of mathematics and science.
Of course, at this point in time, Sulian's education system has just been established, and it will definitely not be filled with high-level talents who have received higher education training like it will be in another thirty, forty, or fifty years.
Although the average level has not reached the corresponding height, it does not mean that there are no gifted students in that country.
At the end of last year, when Old Thomson invited Chen Muwu to start classes at Trinity College, he focused on Lev Landau, who wrote a set of theoretical physics textbooks and tortured generations of Chinese students.
During this trip to Su Lian, the first person on Chen Muwu's list was this rebellious young man.
Landau once had a very famous saying, "All the pretty girls have married others, and now there are only some not-so-pretty girls left."
The meaning of this sentence does not mean that he is an appearance person who only pays attention to appearance but not to inner nature.
He was using girls to make an analogy in physics. Pretty girls refer to the various famous equations and basic theorems in quantum mechanics, while unattractive girls refer to the remaining corners and corners of quantum mechanics.
Landau can be regarded as a contemporary of the young masters of quantum mechanics of the generation of Heisenberg and Dirac, only a few years younger than them.
But just a few years behind him, he missed out on various achievements. His predecessors developed theorems and formulas named after them, but Landau could only learn these contents in college.
If he had just graduated from university, like Kapitsa, and left Sulian to travel to various Western European countries, he might be able to catch the tail end of the explosion of quantum mechanics.
However, Landau's application to study abroad was held up by Sulian's foreign affairs department for several years before it was finally approved, leaving him no chance to seize the last opportunity.
Chen Muwu felt that he was invited by the Sulian Academy of Sciences and could be considered a distinguished guest.
If you propose to take a talented student with whom you have hit it off during the teaching process to go abroad, you will probably not be rejected.
He sincerely hoped that Landau could successfully marry a beautiful girl this time.
But he never imagined that in the future, Landau's famous saying would be changed to: "All the beautiful girls will marry Chen Muwu."
The question now is how to find Landau.
In Chen Muwu's impression, Landau should be from Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan.
But the train from Paris to Leygrad will definitely not pass through the Transcaucasus region.
In addition to making the outline of the lecture on the train, Chen Muwu had been thinking about how to find this genius?
Whether he directly called the staff who received him and told him that he wanted a young man named Landau from Baku, or said that he wanted to give a lecture at the University of Baku, it seemed inappropriate.
The former acted too unpredictable. Why would someone who came to Sulian from the future and didn't know much about Sulian do such a thing?
Even if Chen Muwu is not targeted, Langdao's family will definitely have nothing to gain after he leaves Su Lian.
The latter is even less logical.
Even if he leaves Lezhigrad and gives a speech elsewhere, he should go to Moscow University in the capital of the alliance, and maybe he can be received by national leaders, rather than going to remote Azerbaijan.
Chen Muwu could only hope that newspapers in the Soviet Union had begun to report that he was going to visit Lezhigrad.
Landau, a young man who was eager to learn, happened to see this news and decided to go north to meet himself.
Because the track gauges of railways in different countries are inconsistent, at the national border line, they also changed trains while checking passports and visas for entry.
After several days and nights of train journey, Chen Muwu and Kapitsa finally arrived at the train station in Lezhigrad.
A few years ago, because Germany lost the First World War, it was resisted and blocked by the world in all walks of life and in all aspects. Even normal academic exchanges were interrupted for a long time.
Whether it was the Solvay Conference, the International Congress of Mathematicians, the Union of Astronomers, or the Congress of Philosophers, German scholars were all excluded by the conference organizers.
Under the circumstances at that time, Bohr was able to defy all opinions and visit the University of Göttingen from Copenhagen, Denmark. He broke the barriers that separated people and received great welcome in Germany.
During the few days when Bohr visited, Göttingen, a small town, turned a normal academic visit into a grand festival.
The blockade that Soviet Union is currently under is no worse than Germany's at the time, and is even more severe.
Therefore, Chen Muwu broke through many obstacles this time and received a warm welcome from the local academic community when he arrived in Lezhigrad.
