Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 122 70 Guangzong Yaozu Chen Muwu
After agreeing with the judges, Chen Muwu went to the auditorium on the side.

The group of people from the Apostles Club was the first to leave. After seeing that Chen Muwu had successfully obtained his Ph.D., they left quietly.

In order to maintain their mystery, the apostles will not show their identities in front of outsiders. The graduation party everyone prepared for Chen Muwu, if nothing else happens, should be held during the gathering this Saturday.

Chen Muwu is now said to be one of the apostles of Cambridge, but when he is with these people, it is more like a business partner.

Everyone has money to earn together, so he doesn't mind playing house with them.

Then he came to Best. After the defense, Best did not leave, and so did the people he brought.

In such a situation, Chen Muwu knew without even thinking about it. Best must want to introduce this person beside him to him.

"Chen, congratulations on graduating successfully and obtaining a doctorate degree!"

Chen Muwu wanted to shake hands, but Best immediately gave him a big hug.

"Lawrence, thank you for coming to support me today."

After the two separated again, Best still said excitedly: "Chen, I wanted to give you such a hug just after you finished the game in the Thames that day, but I never found the opportunity. You know the two games How many seconds did you swim in the game? Even His Royal Highness the Duke of York wanted to..."

Chen Muwu stretched out his hand and made a gesture, stopping Best who wanted to continue talking: "Stop, stop, Lawrence, is your highness here today?"

"No, he..."

A few days ago, Best told him that the two British princes were going to watch the sports meeting.

But this has nothing to do with him, so Chen Muwu interrupted him again: "If you don't come, then it doesn't seem to be a big deal, so let's save this until the Eagle Bar at night, should you tell me first?" May I introduce you to the gentleman next to you?"

"Yes, yes, yes... I was so excited that I forgot about it," Best turned slightly, letting out the person next to him, "Joseph, this is the Trinity College you've always wanted to know Chen Muwu, Chen, this person is my classmate, Joseph Needham of Gonville and Caius College, and he is also studying for his doctorate now."

"Mr. Chen, congratulations on your PhD graduation."

"Thank you, Mr. Needham."

Chen Muwu didn't know Best's intention of introducing this person to him, but he shook hands with him politely.

Chen Muwu took a quick look at the opposite side from the corner of his eye, and found that he had a side-parted head, a pair of horny round glasses on his nose, and his height was similar to his own.

Best continued to add on the side: "Joseph didn't ask me to introduce him to you because of your achievements in astronomy and physics.

"In fact, he has recently taken several courses in the Department of Sinology and is also reading Chinese books. He is somewhat interested in Chinese culture and knows that I know you well, so he asked me to introduce you to you."

Although the East has gradually declined in recent years, Orientalism has always been prominent in the West.

The University of Cambridge also established the Department of Sinology at the end of the nineteenth century, and its first professor of Sinology was Wade, who invented the Wychnitz Pinyin.

Although it started much later than France, Germany, and Tsarist Russia, which are closer to the East, it has gradually become a small but refined subject in schools after more than 30 years of development.

Apart from Rutherford, it was rare for Chen Muwu to see an Englishman who was interested in Sinology, so he asked, "Oh? Mr. Needham, what are you reading recently?"

"I am currently reading "Lao-tzu: a Study in Chinese Philosophy (a study of Chinese philosophy)" translated by Sir Wade Wade, and I am very interested in the contents,..."

Old vinegar?I still have peanuts!

Chen Muwu listened to him talk about the views in the book for a long time, and then he realized that the Englishman in front of him pronounced the name "Old Vinegar", which was actually Lao Tzu.

And the book he was talking about was the Tao Te Ching.

Needham, who was opposite Chen Muwu, continued his high-spirited talk: "..., Chen, do you have an English name?"

"Sorry, my name is Chen Muwu, I don't have another name."

He shook his head, thinking that he would not work as a white-collar worker in a foreign company where Vivienne went everywhere, and he would not work as a barber in the hair salon run by Mr. Tony's chain, why would he make himself uncomfortable and choose an English name?
Foreigners can't pronounce my Chinese name correctly, and they can't pronounce it correctly. It's because they don't respect me, and it's not that I don't respect them.

What's more, the pronunciation of his Chinese name is not difficult. If he can't pronounce it correctly, what sinology is he studying?
"It's like this. In the course of our Sinology Department, the teacher asked each of us to give ourselves a Chinese name. I struggled for a long time before I came up with a good English name. Can you please take a look at this name? Does it fit?"

Needham handed over a piece of paper with three Chinese characters crookedly written on it.

Spring worms and autumn snakes, the idioms created by the ancients are really vivid.

Chen Muwu glanced at the note while continuing to listen to the man continue to speak: "Because I like the book "Tao Te Ching" very much, so I use the surname of the author Lao Tzu, Li, as my Chinese surname, and then take the name of Joseph." Transliterate the first two sounds of the name to get..."

By the time Needham said it, Chen Muwu had already read the three traditional Chinese characters written on the paper, and his brain even shut down for two seconds.

Needham.

Is this the one who wrote the "History of Science and Technology in China" and also proposed a Needham problem named after him?

Chen Muwu only knew that Joseph Needham later became a China hand, but he knew little about his life and academic contributions.

But because he dared to investigate the germ warfare used by molds on the battlefield, he was Chen Muwu's good friend.

After chatting with these two people for a few more words, Chen Muwu felt that Needham didn't mean to let him go.

If it was normal, he would have a lot of time to chat with this guy.

But not today, he still has a lot of greetings to say, and there are still many things to do.

So Chen Muwu found an opportunity to point to Kapitsa, put on a slightly regretful expression, and said to Best and Needham: "Lawrence, Mr. Needham, I still have a lot of things to do today. There is no way to talk more, if you have anything to do in the future, you can come to me anytime, anywhere. In addition, you are also welcome to come to the Eagle Bar tonight, we will not go home until we are drunk!"

"Chen, can I call a few more people over tonight? I really have something very important to talk to you!" Best asked.

"of course."

……

Chen Muwu walked to the other side of the auditorium, and the first thing that greeted him was still a hug from Kapitsa.

"Chen, I think I already know why you can get a doctorate from Cambridge University in one year."

He does not mean that.

A string in Chen Muwu's head tensed directly. Could it be that his identity as a time traveler was discovered by Kapiza?

But he still pretended to be happy and asked, "Then what reason do you say?"

"Because if you want to get a doctorate, you must study at Cambridge for at least one year. If you can graduate in half a year, then you will never choose to wait another half a year!"

Hey, scare me!
Except for Kapitsa, the remaining two were quite reserved.

After Dirac stepped forward and said a few compliments, he began to chat about the theory of relativity and electron spin.

Just sent away one who talked with him about sinology, and welcomed another one who talked with him about physics.

These people are really stubborn, they won't let Chen Muwu take a good rest today.

"Paul, thank you for taking the time to come to my defense meeting during the intense review period. Regarding this question about electron spin and relativity, we will come again after you finish the exam and I am also busy with graduation. Discuss, okay?"

While talking, Chen Muwu winked at Ye Gongchao.

Chinese people do not lie to Chinese people, but it is still possible to deceive foreigners.

So Ye Gongchao took over the conversation naturally, and never gave Dirac any chance to ask questions again: "Paul, the embassy of our country has also asked us for some things these days, so I think your question is indeed like that of Chen Chen. As the master said, you need to wait a few more days. You can use this time to review the exam, as long as you do well in the final exam, next year's scholarship will also increase with the tide!"

After coaxing Dirac, Ye Gongchao seamlessly switched to Chinese: "Brother Hanchen, congratulations on obtaining your doctorate in one year. This speed should be considered unique in our country.

"The embassy I mentioned just now is not a lie." Taking advantage of Dirac's inattention, Ye Gongchao pouted at Dirac, "You really have to go to London with me for a formality these two days. Our foreign students come here When going abroad, from enrollment to graduation, you need to prepare a case with the embassy in advance.

"There is one more thing. After the clothes and hats of the diploma and academic gowns are sent out, I plan to find a photo studio and take a picture and send it to my home. Would you like to take a picture with me?"

Yes, Fang Hongjian did this in "Fortress Besieged", and he, Chen Muwu, was not immune either.

But even if this photo is not taken, as long as the second brother Chen Muping learns that he has graduated with a Ph.D., he will definitely publish the news on "Shenbao".

Later generations will hold a big thank-you banquet when they are admitted to university. If you don’t publicize your doctorate in the world’s number one university this year, it will be like Xiang Wang said. Returning to my hometown, like a night walk in brocade”?

It can only be said that Chen Muwu's imagination is still lacking.

After waiting for more than a month, the photo of him wearing a doctor's suit and a doctor's hat took the train back to Qihai. The Chen and Ye families not only paid for their photos to be published in "Shenbao"-these are all The basic operations that Chen Muwu can predict.

But he never imagined that Mrs. Chen would instigate her second son, Chen Muping, and even asked someone to carve a plaque with the characters "Doctor" and hung it in the ancestral hall of their old Chen family.

Although the plaque of "Jinshi Jidi" has become an out-of-print decoration, if a plaque of "Doctor" is hung in the ancestral hall, it can still honor the ancestors!
