Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 124 Good news from China

In the middle of the bar, Kapitsa has already "opened with wine and guts". He has no basketball, no rap, and can only sing and dance. He once again enlivened the atmosphere in the venue and became the focus of the audience.

Chen Muwu was happy to see Kapiza helping him to share his attention.

And after he made such a fuss, the environment in the venue became even more noisy. Now even if he wanted to talk about how to use the theory of relativity to calculate the orbit of electron spins, Dirac and Fowler might not be able to hear clearly.

As soon as Chen Muwu put down the pen in his hand, Best entered the Eagle Bar.

He arrived as promised, with a group of Cambridge blue suits behind him.

Recognizable without words, just by the skin on their bodies, these are the noble athletes of the University of Cambridge.

"Chen," after entering the door, Best glanced around the inside of the Eagle Bar, and then went straight to Chen Muwu's table, "Do you know how fast you swam in the joint sports meeting?"

The normally polite Best was gone, and now he was so excited that his voice even overwhelmed Kapitsa who was singing and dancing in the center of the bar.

"...I was afraid of affecting your dissertation defense, so I kept holding back and didn't tell you, but today you finally got your doctorate, so I don't have any scruples anymore. In this joint sports meeting, your [-]-yard freestyle score yes……"

Chen Muwu got up quickly, pulled Best and walked out.

At the table where he was sitting just now, there were a group of professors with dumbfounded faces.

Although the environment in the bar is very noisy, Kapitsa's singing voice is loud and clear, but Best's voice is also not small.

After Chen Muwu left, everyone's eyes fell on his taciturn roommate Dirac.

"Paul, who is this person? What happened to the sports meeting he just mentioned?"

Finally, Fowler asked the question that everyone cared about.

As one of the few insiders, Dirac could only briefly tell a few professors about Chen Muwu's participation in the Cambridge-Oxford Joint Games.

In order to cool off the summer heat last summer, the Cavendish Laboratory also organized several swimming activities by the Kang River, so no one was surprised that Chen Muwu could swim.

But the strange thing is, why did this person go to London to participate in the sports meet quietly, and from what the listener said, Chen Muwu also got a good result?

Best, who was pulled aside by Chen Muwu, finally finished his last sentence.

"Chen, your one-hundred-yard time is 54 seconds! If every audience present saw that you threw that proud New Zealander who was at Oxford University last year behind you by several meters, I would have doubted it." , Is there something wrong with the timekeeper of the game?"

Chen Muwu was taken aback when he learned of his achievement.

In order to be able to win the championship without any mistakes, he had tried his best in the [-]-yard game that day.

But the final score is only 54 seconds?
It seems that after more than a year of training, the results are still sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will fall back.

Before crossing by himself, he was the one who could swim out this result in the 100-meter race.

Thinking of this, Chen Muwu felt a little unhappy.

Best keenly captured this mood swing. "Chen, what does this expression mean? Could it be that you are not satisfied with this result?"

He subconsciously nodded, and whispered to himself: "I should be able to swim faster..."

Chen Muwu's unintentional remark, in Best's ears, he thought he was pretending to be a coward.

"Chen, you just said a joke, swimming a hundred yards in 54 seconds, isn't it fast?
"Your result not only broke the record of the competition by far, but after returning to school, I went to the library to find a record book of the Antwerp Olympic Games in Belgium four years ago. Guess what? That 100-meter freestyle competition The Yankee at No.1 only swam out a score of [-] minute and [-] second.

"And the final finishing time of the 400-meter race is even longer. In the last Olympic Games, No.1's score was five and a half minutes, and your score of 27 yards was only four minutes and [-] seconds.

"I think you can sign up for the Olympic Games to be held in Paris in July this year. For the 100-meter freestyle, you can try to win the championship, but for you to win the 400-meter freestyle, it should be as easy as picking something out of your pocket!"

Chen Muwu was shocked when he heard the name of the Olympic Games.

In the future, my grades may not be able to get No.1 in college student competitions in the capital. How could I be able to compete for the Olympic champion 100 years ago?
And in the 27-yard freestyle, he also swam for [-] minutes and [-] seconds?
It shouldn't be, isn't it only within four minutes and 400 seconds for me to reach 15 meters?
Obviously, when I was swimming, I didn't feel that my physical fitness had dropped much compared to a year ago, but why did my grades drop so much?
Chen Muwu's brain was running fast, and he finally found the answer to the question he didn't understand when he was a hundred yards away.

In the Thames River Race, although the units are all shorter than the metric length unit meter, it is nearly [-]% shorter than the imperial length unit yard.

However, whether it is in the Cam River or the Thames River, whether it is 50 yards or [-] yards, the race track goes all the way in the river. There is no starting platform, and there is no turning and kicking the wall every [-] meters.

These two items that are missing are the key to greatly improving the performance of the game.

There is only one jump, which is ignored for now, but turning around by kicking off the wall can play a big role in improving performance.

Otherwise, why is the swimming record of the 25-meter short pool so much faster than that of the 50-meter standard pool?
In other words, it wasn't that Chen Muwu's speed had dropped a lot, but that the mechanism of the game was different.

Well, if he goes to the Olympics as Best said, maybe he can really get a few gold medals back.

Thinking of this, Chen Muwu was naturally overwhelmed.

If I can really win the Olympic gold medal for China in the 1924 Olympic Games, what is the concept?
Not to mention participating in the Olympic Games eight years earlier than in the original time and space, it was able to win the first gold medal for China 60 years earlier.

It's just that I don't know if China has established an Olympic committee now?Are you a member of the International Olympic Committee?
If there is no Olympic Committee, can I still participate in this Olympic Games?

Seeing the change in the expression on Chen Muwu's face, Best had already guessed that he was thinking, so he continued: "Chen, this is really a good opportunity, our Cambridge athletes, although they were already in the second Olympic Games in 1900 Started to win gold medals, but those are traditionally British strengths, such as tennis and rowing.

"In the past 20 years, Cambridge athletes have never been able to enter the main competition of the swimming event dominated by the Americans and Australians, let alone get any results.

"So you achieved this result in the joint sports meeting, not only our swimming club, but even the sports department of the school.

"Let me introduce to you, these are all members of the Eagles Club I told you about, this club is responsible for managing all the athletes who have won the blue honor at Cambridge University.

"They came this time to help our swimming club and you achieve good results in the upcoming Olympic Games, and to add luster to Cambridge University.

"What difficulties do you have in training and life now, you can tell them no matter what it is, and everyone will try their best to help you solve it."

Chen Muwu never expected that he would receive such attention just by swimming.

So he expressed his doubts, that is, it is already the middle of May, is it too late to sign up for the Olympic Games in July?
And is China a member of the International Olympic Committee, is it eligible to sign up for this competition?
In Chen Muwu's memory, the selection criteria for the Olympic Games seemed to be very harsh, and only those who could achieve the Olympic A standard could get an admission ticket.

Here again he committed the mistake of taking things for granted. Can the intensity of competition be compared with the present in 100 years?
As expected of someone who has already done the preparatory work, several people from the Eagles Club answered these questions one by one.

The current Olympic Games has just entered the stage of regular development. The chairman of the International Olympic Committee, Coubertin, hopes that the influence of the Olympic Games can be further expanded, so the registration conditions for the competition are very loose.

Even though China has not yet established an Olympic Committee and has not become a member of the International Olympic Committee, Chen Muwu can still participate in this Olympic Games through self-registration.

As for the matter of registration, since it involves nationality issues, Cambridge University can't do it for you. It is very likely that Chen Muwu will need to go to Paris by himself.

However, there is still more than a month before the official competition, and it is still too late to go to Paris from Cambridge.

In addition, Best also told Chen Muwu one thing.

He has already inquired about the news from various sources. Compared with the last Antwerp Olympics, which had just finished the war and was poorer than Belgium, in this Paris Olympics, the French spent a lot of money in order to show the demeanor of the victorious country. For the price, several competition venues have been repaired.

Therefore, this year's swimming competition does not need to inject river water into the abandoned ditches left over from the war like the previous one. Instead, a standard 50-meter swimming pool is built in a decent manner as a competition venue-in fact, this It is the first time the standard pool has appeared in the World Series.

In order to get used to swimming in the Kang River, Chen Muwu can adapt to the venue of the Olympic Games in advance, Best plans to mobilize members of the swimming club to dig a 50-meter pool on the edge of the Kang River within a few days. , and then introduce the river water of the Kang River, and use it as a training ground for Chen Muwu.

This caught Chen Muwu's fancy. He had long wanted to revisit what it was like to swim in a 50-meter standard pool, so Chen Muwu also put forward a lot of constructive suggestions on the size of the pool.

Moreover, it is also a happy thing for Chen Muwu to have a standard swimming pool for the Paris Olympics.

After all, the turning technology was only developed in the 50s, and he is now a leading version of dimensionality reduction strike.

Best's words made Chen Muwu, who hadn't had a sip of wine in the Eagle Bar, a little distracted.

Although he hasn't signed up yet, he has already begun to look forward to the Olympics in more than a month.

An alcoholic from Sulian, plus the mascot of Cambridge University, Kapitsa, a good brother, can always block a lot of alcohol for himself at critical moments.

Therefore, the graduation reception at the Eagles Club ended with Chen Muwu not drinking at all, and Kapiza was very drunk.

……

Cambridge University is quite efficient, and after a few days, Chen Muwu's doctoral diploma was issued to him.

Wearing a doctor's suit, he followed Ye Gongchao to a photo studio in Cambridgeshire and took photos to be sent home. The two took the relevant procedures completed in Cambridge and came to London again by train.

Some time ago, Chargé d'Affaires Zhu Zhaoxin of the Chinese Embassy in the UK made a big splash at a banquet hosted by British Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary MacDonald for ministers from various countries.

Because during the dinner, the Prime Minister deliberately bypassed the ministers of many powers and came to him to congratulate Zhu Zhaoxin. The international students from your country discovered the ninth planet in the solar system at the British Observatory. Chen Muwu’s success is a sign of the educational cooperation between the two countries. The model of so...

If the ambassador to the UK was replaced by Fan Yuanlian, who was dedicated to education, then he would probably take the opportunity to ask the Prime Minister to speed up the Boxer indemnity negotiations.

But Zhu Zhaoxin just thought that Chen Muwu's discovery made him look good in front of foreigners, so he was very satisfied with his talented compatriot.

He deliberately sent another telegram to China to ask for credit, indicating that Chen Muwu was able to achieve such great achievements in the UK that the prime minister of the country personally named him to praise him, which is inseparable from his own support and cultivation.

One is a rising star in the British academic circle, and the other is the son of the former director of communications. Chen Muwu and Ye Gongchao came to the embassy to complete the graduation procedures, and Zhu Zhaoxin did not dare to neglect them in the slightest.

Not only did he personally meet the two of them in his office, he arranged for the staff to complete all the formalities for the two of them with the green light, and he also brought a piece of "good news" from China to Chen Muwu.
