Reborn and become a Great Scientist

105 Chapter 53
From the discovery of a new planet at the end of January, to the name-calling event held by the Cambridge University Observatory, to the International Federation of Astronomers finally identifying it as a planet and accepting the name Yellow Emperor Star...

Because of Huang Dixing's incident, Chen Muwu spent more than a month on it back and forth.

What matter wave?He forgot everything about electron diffraction.

Then, Chen Muwu, who likes the new and dislikes the old, soon ushered in his retribution, and was approached by an "old lover".

……

One morning after the heat of Huangdixing dissipated a little, Chen Muwu had just stepped into the gate of the Cavendish Laboratory when he saw Niu Kapicha of Cambridge First Society chatting passionately with a stranger.

The two switched back and forth between English, Russian, French and body language, making gestures and guessing, which reminded Chen Muwu of an ancient variety show, "Lucky 52".

He sometimes admires Kapitsa very much. Although he can't speak any language well, even his own mother tongue, Russian, he doesn't care whether he can speak it or not, and he doesn't care whether others can understand it. In the popular foreign languages, he always speaks.

Cambridge people created a new term for this, called "Kapitsa language", which is composed of roughly equal parts Russian, French and English.

Since the stranger had his back to the gate, Chen Muwu didn't see his face.

He greeted Kapitsa, and wanted to enter the gate of Cavendish Laboratory through the gap next to him.

But when Kapiza saw Chen Muwu coming, he pointed at him and said to the stranger, "Here, the Chen Muwu you were looking for, isn't it here?"

Chen Muwu hadn't realized what was going on, but as soon as the stranger heard his name, he immediately turned around and walked straight to Chen Muwu.

Before he could see his face clearly, he walked up to him, and the stranger stretched out his arms, hugging Chen Muwu passionately.

This was not enough, he even brought his own face closer, and put a touch on Chen Muwu's left and right cheeks.

This directly caused Chen Muwu's brain to shut down, his chrysanthemum tightened, and it was fine if he didn't say hello when he met, why did he just come up and sexually harass him?
Still in a daze, he subconsciously regarded the other party as a gay British guy, and he was still thinking that the corrupt country really deserved its reputation, but he was a straight man of steel.

In fact, different from what Chen Muwu imagined, there are not many gay friends in Britain now, and even if there are, they are all secretly hidden underground.

Because now, this is still an illegal act. Wouldn’t Turing, the father of artificial intelligence in the future, be forced to commit suicide decades later?

But Cambridge University, where he lives, is rich in homosexuals, and the ratio of students with better family conditions is higher.

Because these boys and buddies have been studying in boys' schools such as Eton and Harrow since they started school. When they arrived in Cambridge, they rarely saw girls in the school.

From the second development of puberty, there are always boys by my side, so it is hard not to keep my mind on the same sex around me.

It wasn't until the stranger announced himself to say hello after a series of etiquettes that Chen Muwu realized that he was thinking too much. This is not an Englishman, but an overly romantic Frenchman.

"Mr. Chen, I've known you for a long time. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm from Louis of the Broglie family in Paris, France. I passed several letters with you before."

The face-to-face ceremony is a traditional custom in France, and in some places it is simply on the lips.

De Broglie is already very elegant and a gentleman to achieve this level...

No, now is not the time to think about face-to-face gifts, is it?

Didn't you agree to go to France for an experiment?Why did His Excellency the Little Prince come to Cambridge University in person?

The fact that he won the Nobel Prize for his doctoral dissertation gave Chen Muwu the illusion that De Broglie was very young when he won the award.

But in fact, during World War I, De Broglie, who had obtained a bachelor's degree, joined the army. Relying on his family relationship, he was arranged to be a radio signal soldier on the Eiffel Tower for several years.

After the war ended and he retired from the army, De Broglie returned to school to study for a doctorate.

The little prince in front of him is already 32 years old. He was born in 1892, ten years older than Chen Muwu, and the hairline on both wings of his head has receded a lot.

Chen Muwu welcomed de Broglie into Cavendish's conference room. The French nobleman did not dislike the smell of rotten milk and biscuits in this dark, damp, unheated conference room at all. Sitting generously on the dirty chair opposite Chen Muwu.

"Your Excellency, I have been waiting for your letter. I did not expect you to come to England in person."

De Broglie smiled: "Chen, you don't have to be so polite, just call me Louis. When I was in the United States, I have seen your name in many newspapers and magazines. You are really full of people now. The hottest star in the world.

"I'm afraid you won't be busy for a while, and I don't have anything to do recently, so after I bought the instrument, I changed the boat ticket to Portsmouth and came to England to find you with a vacuum pump.

"However, such a big thing is not convenient to carry by train, so I left it in London with my servant. He should be able to find the car and send the vacuum pump to Cambridge within a day or two. "

Chen Muwu keenly grasped the key point from De Broglie's words: "Your Excellency Louis, did you go to America in person?"

"Yes, when I received your reply, there happened to be a housekeeper in the United States dealing with some matters, so I sent him a telegram and asked him to inquire about the vacuum pump.

"After he informed me that he had contacted General Electric, I went to the United States from Paris."

"You really... worked hard. May I take the liberty to ask, how much did you spend on this vacuum pump?"

De Broglie smiled wryly: "It's not much money. General Electric asked for 6000 US dollars. We finally negotiated a little over [-] yuan, and signed a contract with them to guarantee that the vacuum pump will not be used in commercial competition. It's just Now the franc exchange rate is at a low price, so I suffered a loss when exchanging currency."

Recently, the franc has also experienced a depreciation crisis.

Before World War I, one dollar was worth five francs.

After the war it fell to fifteen francs to the dollar.

By the beginning of the year, the dollar had soared to a high of twenty francs.

After the United States provided a large loan to Germany, it asked France to withdraw its troops from the Ruhr area.

But the hard-headed French rejected this request, so the franc began to depreciate on a small scale at the beginning of the year. Up to now, it has reached 27 per dollar to the franc.

So although de Broglie cut the price of the vacuum pump by a quarter, the dollar also appreciated by about one-third against the franc, so that one rise and one fall (3/4*4/3=1), in fact For the franc, it is completely standing still, and the price is even a little higher!
However, Chen Muwu realized that the £500 he got after discovering the Yellow Emperor Star should be enough to pay the $[-] now.

He is thinking, should he also share part of it for De Broglie?

Let De Broglie be taken advantage of, it is a bit unbearable.

"Louis, after I recently discovered a new planet, I also won a lot of bonuses. Why don't we pay half of the money for this vacuum pump?"

"Chen, there is no need for this. You are alone in the UK, and it is difficult to earn some money to live. Leave the money to me. You just need to do the experiment well. Now, can you take me to your laboratory to see one look?"

"Well... I don't have a laboratory yet, so I'll go to Mr. Chadwick to apply and see if I can apply for one."

The laboratory is also one of Cavendish's scarce resources. The last time Chen Muwu did an experiment in an independent laboratory was the refraction of visible light.

Even Kapitsa, who has been promoted to an official, still stays in front of a test bench in the open laboratory on the first floor, just because what he is going to do now is that the experiment does not require any large instruments, nor does it need a light-proof environment .

……

Knowing that there were French guests, Rutherford also came forward to receive De Broglie.

When these two people stood together, it was like a chicken talking to a duck.

One from New Zealand had a loud voice, and the other was from a small French nobleman. Sometimes they couldn't understand each other, and Chen Muwu had to translate a few sentences for them.

Probably in order not to lose face in front of their French counterparts, Rutherford instructed Chadwick to arrange an independent laboratory for Chen Muwu and De Broglie that afternoon.

While cleaning the house, putting the vacuum electron diffraction tubes that had been installed in the laboratory, and waiting for the vacuum pump to be transported from London to Cambridge, Chen Muwu walked around the laboratory.

The door of a laboratory next to them had Edmund Stoner's name on it.

Chen Muwu knew that Stoner, who was three years older than him, would be an expert in magnetism in the future, and there was a theorem named after him in the study of ferromagnets.

But now, he doesn't seem to have started to study magnetism, and he doesn't know what experiments he is doing in the laboratory next door.

Back home at night, Chen Muwu asked his landlord, Mrs. Brown, if he could bring a new tenant home for a few days.

Mrs. Brown, hearing that the visitor was a Frenchman, immediately agreed.

She was wondering if she could fool the Frenchman into cooking some French dishes for herself, but how did she know that this Frenchman was a French nobleman who always brought his servants with him when he went out?
As a result, de Broglie only stayed at Mrs. Brown's house for one night, and the next day he took the servant who brought the vacuum pump from London and checked into the best hotel in Cambridgeshire.

In the Cavendish laboratory, he didn't sleep well all night, and the little prince with two dark circles under his eyes still didn't forget to complain to Chen Muwu: "It's fine that the environment in the Cavendish laboratory is poor, Chen, why even you The environment where you live is so bad? It’s hard for you to work and live here alone for more than a year!

"If you want me to say, after you graduate, go to my brother's laboratory in France. Whether it's the experimental environment, accommodation conditions, or the taste of the food, it's much better than that in England!"

This was said secretly in the small laboratory. If Rutherford heard it, he would definitely scold De Broglie for his poaching behavior.

After all, who doesn't love a genius?

　Thanks to Sadox for the large reward, and thank you for the rewards, monthly tickets and recommendation tickets.thanks!
