Landau promised that studying abroad would be useful, but not much.

He still has a series of procedures to go through and a bunch of formalities to complete.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, there are still two months left for Landau.

As long as he can complete all this before Chen Muwu returns via Sulian, if nothing happens, he will be able to follow him to Cambridge University in England and become the second in Kapitsa.

However, Chen Muwu only asked Professor Yofei for such a person in the backstage of the auditorium of Sulian Academy of Sciences.

As for Gamov who wanted to leave Sulian and see the world outside, he was not on Chen Muwu's list.

Without Chen Muwu in his previous life, he could rely on his strong desire to escape and do everything possible to leave this country that restricted his thinking.

Then let Gamow rely on his own ability. Chen Muwu doesn't want to be like Langzhivin, wading into this muddy water and causing unnecessary trouble for himself.

After the last lecture in Lezhigrad, as expected, the physics colleagues from the Soviet Academy of Sciences asked Chen Muwu to give him a slap in the face.

During the dinner, everyone talked about various topics. Someone asked Chen Muwu where he thought the future of physics was.

This time, Chen Muwu did not give the unreliable answer of superconductivity. Instead, he remembered the teachings of his teacher Kapitsa and advertised the particle accelerator he had newly developed at the Cavendish Laboratory.

The future of physics is of course particle physics, and the University of Cambridge has developed a powerful tool for studying particle physics. It is cheap and easy to use. You can also enjoy the early bird price when you purchase it now.

This group of professors and scholars at Sulian Academy of Sciences were deceived by Chen Muwu and fell into confusion.

They didn't know why Chen Muwu said such a long string of words in one breath even though he hadn't even had a drink.

Is he exaggerating, or is he sincerely speaking his mind?

Some people feel that they cannot listen to what he says, so it would be better to send someone to Cambridge University to investigate.

After finishing the meal, Chen Muwu's time in Lezhigrad also entered the countdown.

The Swedish Crown Prince's visit to China has a very tight schedule, and tonight is the last night for everyone to stay in Legegrad.

Early tomorrow morning, everyone will take a special train from Lezhagrad to Osko, and embark on the journey eastward at this starting point of the Siberian Railway.

In order to avoid delaying his trip tomorrow, Chen Muwu did not stay at Kapitsa's house today. Instead, he and Oppenheimer stayed at the hotel where the Crown Prince of Sweden stayed.

One day before, Kapitsa also expressed to Chen Muwu that he had been staying at his home for more than half a week anyway and wanted to go to China with him for a walk.

However, his wish was ruthlessly rejected by Chen Muwu.

This is not to say that Chen Muwu is stingy. He stayed at Kapitsa's house for more than half a week, and spent his friend's money on food and clothing. In the end, when his friend wanted to hang out at his own house, he started to feel unhappy. profit.

It's just that the current domestic situation in China is complicated. Although the Soviet Union has established diplomatic relations with Beiyang, it has always been flirting with the other side in the south.

Especially the Northeast King Zhang Marshal, who has been sitting in Fengtian, is now in charge of Beijing. The relationship between him and the Sulian people is even worse.

The Feng Faction and I have always been at odds with the Soviet Union. The Northeast is bordered by the Soviet Union, and there is another Northeastern lifeline controlled by the Soviet Union, the China Eastern Railway.

To Dashuai Zhang, the Sulian people were like a thorn in the flesh.

Recently, with the support of the Soviet Union, the south has divided its troops into several groups to make an all-out Northern Expedition, which has even touched Marshal Zhang's objections.

When returning from Sulian, you must enter the country from the Northeast, then take the train along the China Eastern Railway and the Beijing-Fenghuang Railway to Beijing or Tianyi, and then transfer to the Jinpu Railway to go south to Jingjing and Sihai.

Along the way, they were either under the complete control of the Feng faction, or they would pass through the fighting areas of the Northern Expedition.

Although they are a high-level diplomatic mission, if Kapitsa goes along with them, his identity as a Sulian may make things difficult for him.

Marshal Zhang did not care about his ruthlessness, but with his own support, he even dared to let his men rush into the Sulian Embassy in Dongjiaomin Lane to rob people. What does a little Kapitsa mean?

If Kapitsa is arrested in the name of a Soviet spy, Chen Muwu will definitely have to deal with all parties and try his best to recruit people.

He didn't want to cause this trouble for himself, not to mention that Kapitsa followed him to China and there was nothing for academic exchange.

The Crown Prince of Sweden is the eldest son of the royal family, and he traveled thousands of miles to visit the mountains and rivers.

Chen Muwu came with a mission. He must take advantage of this opportunity to establish a fairly fair selection mechanism for international students in China, and by the way, bring his family to Europe in the name of attending his wedding.

He had a headache just thinking that people in China should also know that he was going back to China, and many universities and bureaucrats would inevitably send invitations to give lectures and be guests.

Time was tight and he was simply too busy. It was better to push these invitations as far as he could.

Kapitsa really has nothing to visit and exchange in the country, and Chen Muwu has to worry about arranging his itinerary. It is better to stay in Sulian for a few more days, and then return to Paris to have sex with his little girlfriend Anna.

But why did Chen Muwu choose to bring Oppenheimer with him?

This is because after all, Oppenheimer is also a serious foreigner, and he will definitely follow Chen Muwu every step of the way.

When the Crown Prince of Sweden arrives in China, there will be no shortage of various banquets, and

If you encounter any danger at home, it is still very useful to have a foreigner by your side.

Everyone has black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin. Chen Muwu has no writing on his face. When walking on the street, even though he has a fat horse and light fur, no one will know who he is. At best, he will be regarded as a young man from a wealthy family or a university student. The professors inside and so on.

But Oppenheimer's appearance speaks for itself, and you can tell at a glance that he is a foreigner.

We are obviously in our own country, but we still have to rely on the foreigners who are following us to show off our power. This is such a magical thing.

More than half a month of lectures in Legegler passed by in a hurry. After a night's rest, Chen Muwu and Oppenheimer followed the Swedish Crown Prince and his entourage and boarded a special train heading east to the Soviet capital, Mask.

In fact, the two of them don't need to be in such a hurry. After all, the Crown Prince of Sweden has arrived in Osko, and there is still a series of diplomatic activities waiting for him.

There is no reason to go to someone else's capital and not even meet them face to face.

But Chen Muwu had nothing to do in Lezhigrad, so he might as well take a leisurely look at the city scenery of Mashko while others were running their itineraries.

As for Oppenheimer, he just came to Lezhigrad and had not even visited the surrounding area...

Who told him that he had just arrived?

The railway line from Lezhigrad to Masko is nearly 700 kilometers.

Running on it at the speed of a steam train, even a special train with the highest operating level on the railway map, would take a full twenty-four hours a day and a night.

After boarding the train the first morning, the diplomatic train slowly entered the platform of the Osko Railway Station the next morning.

On the platform next to the train, there was another welcome ceremony that had been prepared for a long time. The military band, the guard of honor, the officials and relevant personnel from Jiangsu, Switzerland, and China were waiting eagerly for the arrival of the distinguished guests after the carriage door opened. Walk down slowly from above.

Chen Muwu always felt that among a group of blond and blue-eyed Nordic people, a yellow man suddenly walked down.

Fortunately, they were not welcoming him, and his role was dispensable. Chen Muwu simply spoke to the person in charge of the Swedish mission and took Oppenheimer to wait in the carriage until the welcome ceremony was over. , the two of them quietly got off the train.

On the platform on the other side of the train, although there was a temporary martial law due to the arrival of distinguished guests, today's "Truth" newsprint had been received and placed on the newsstand in the center of the platform before dawn.

Chen Muwu and Oppenheimer were two stupid young men. Neither of them knew Russian, so neither could understand what was written in the newspaper.

Little did they know that the transcript of Chen Muwu's speech at the Lezhigrad Surian Academy of Sciences the day before yesterday had already arrived in Maskol ahead of them and was published in this national newspaper.

Without Chen Muwu's appearance, Dimiryadev would still have made his criticism of Einstein and the theory of relativity.

The knowledgeable people in the Sulian physics community will never sit back and wait for death, but will launch an academic counterattack against this fallacy.

Historically, it was Professor Yoffe who sounded the clarion call for counterattack. His rebuttal article, "Experimental Proving that Einstein's Theory of Relativity is Correct," was published on this "Truth" newsprint .

The time of publication happened to be the New Year of 1927, January 1st.

In fact, no one is willing to come forward like this, because as long as there is a debate, physics and politics will be related, and the nature of academic discussion will be changed.

Physics is a science based on experiments, not a philosophy based on rhetoric.

Moreover, there is a certain risk in standing out. Dimiryadev is a professor at Musko University, and Musko is the best place under the emperor's feet.

Who knows if his attack on Einstein and the theory of relativity this time was due to mental disorder and a sudden outburst, or because he received guidance from an expert and someone behind his back to support him?

But Yofei had to take the lead because he was an academician of the Sulian Academy of Sciences and an expert and leader in domestic physics.

If the entire Soviet Union criticizes the theory of relativity overwhelmingly, then our country's colleagues who study physics will never be able to hold their heads high in front of physicists around the world.

Chen Muwu's lecture at the Surian Academy of Sciences pointed out Dimiryadev's naive idea of ​​taking the theory of relativity for granted, although it was very embarrassing.

But he also criticized this wrong theory, saying that monks from outside could chant sutras, and if he came forward, he would just solve a big trouble for Yofei.

If Yoffei could get his rebuttal article published in the newspaper on the first day of the new year, he would naturally have the means to send Chen Muwu's speech to the editorial department of the same newspaper.

As a result, Chen Muwu and the full text of his speech coincidentally appeared in Masko on the same day.

As the author of the speech himself, Chen Muwu was completely unaware of the consequences of this matter.

After the welcome ceremony was over, he and Oppenheimer slowly walked out of the train carriage.

Time was running out, and the Crown Prince of Sweden and his entourage went to attend interviews and talks according to their scheduled itinerary.

On the first day after arriving in Moscow, Chen Muwu and Oppenheimer took a leisurely stroll around Red Square, Kremlin Palace and other landmark buildings.

Then at night, the two of them returned to the hotel where they were staying, and an unexpected appearance occurred.

A Soviet staff member with a translator had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Chen Muwu walking into the hotel, he quickly got up and walked forward.

After some handshakes and formal politeness, the other party revealed the purpose of the late-night interruption.

Someone wanted to meet Chen Muwu who was passing through here on his way back home from vacation.

Time is limited, and the other party has many things to do, so this meeting is completely impromptu.

Therefore, I could only ask my guest Chen Muwu to go to the designated place late at night and meet others.

Although he didn't know what to say after meeting, Chen Muwu felt that with the Swedish Crown Prince as a life-saving talisman, the other party could never harm him.

Just meet him when you see him, and when the staff shows up at the hotel, the other party is not here to discuss with him, but just to inform him.

So Chen Muwu got into a car without any explanation, came to a place without explanation, and saw a person without explanation.

Although the person opposite does not have a big beard and a pipe in his mouth, but judging from the grandeur of the office, it is estimated that his level is not low.

After meeting, Chen Muwu was even more shocked by what the other party said straight to the point.

"Mr. Chen, do you think the theory of relativity is really materialism?"

Why was it that the contents of a speech I gave in Lezhigrad the day before yesterday were spread to Osko today.

How did he know that Yuefei's question could be published in a newspaper, and that the newspaper would be "Truth"?

Since this question was asked, the other party must have come prepared.

It was okay for Chen Muwu to fool his peers at the Sulian Academy of Sciences, who also had low levels of philosophy, but if he continued to talk about philosophy on this occasion, he would probably show his cowardice in just a few words.

Then he might as well return to his old profession of physics and give the other party an example.

After getting a pen and some paper, Chen Muwu began to write and draw on it.

He first used the calorific value of coal to calculate the heat that could be released by completely burning one ton of coal under normal conditions.

Then, using Einstein's mass-energy equation, it was calculated that only less than one milligram of mass loss is needed, and the energy converted can be equivalent to the complete combustion of one ton of standard coal.

"Sir, I am currently at the University of Cambridge. The experiment I am engaged in is to verify whether the mass-energy equation is correct. If it is correct, then only a tiny handful of it will be needed to provide energy equivalent to a ton of coal.

“Can this be considered a major benefit for a country that is in urgent need of construction?

"From this perspective, do you think that whether it is relativity or quantum mechanics, are they idealistic or materialistic?"

Although converting mass into energy is very troublesome and takes at least ten or even decades, Chen Muwu still drew a big picture under this situation in order to be able to convert it in the shortest possible time. People are being bluffed.

The person opposite meditated for a while: "Dr. Chen, if this result is finally verified, then the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics will of course be materialism! Pure materialism!

"Dr. Chen, I have a gracious request. Can we send a few scientists to Cambridge University to work on this research with you?"

Chen Muwu agreed readily: "Of course there is no problem here, but it is not me who makes the decision in the Cavendish Laboratory, but Kapitsa, the director of the laboratory.

“Coupled with the fact that the relationship between your country and the UK has not been normal recently due to the strike, I think it will be very difficult to do this.

"I'm really sorry. I'm a soft-spoken person and can't help you in this matter.

"But I can take a student with me. During the half month I was in Lezhigrad, I found a very good seedling."
