Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 132 80 Ye Gongchao's Rich Buddy

Followed the visitor into the door, walked through a narrow corridor, entered a door again, and entered a room with an area of ​​about ten square meters.

The room was filled with a strong smell of ink. The two beds were leaning against the left and right walls, and there was a table between the beds. The table was very mottled, which should be traces left by the ink.

But the strange thing is that neither the mimeograph machine nor the mimeographed paper materials can be seen in this room.

Obviously, this should be because the owner of the room deliberately hid these sensitive things in advance after learning that a stranger was coming.

Seeing Chen Muwu enter the room, the person sitting at the table who was writing put down his pen, stood up and extended his right hand to Chen Muwu.

"Mr. Chen, I have admired your name for a long time. I am Zhang Xiuyou. Although I was born in Jiansu, my ancestral home is Jiang Shaoxing. The two of us can be regarded as half fellows."

"Mr. Zhang, thanks to your help, I can sign up for this World Games."

"Please sit down."

The two sat face to face on the beds on both sides of the table, and the person who brought Chen Muwu into the room also sat next to Chen Muwu and looked at him curiously.

"Because France is too far away from China, Mr. Chen..."

"Just call me Hanchen."

"Okay, so Hanchen's novels that you serialized in "Yi Shi Bao" were not available in France at first.

"Then suddenly one day, the domestic editorial department sent me a letter, saying that an author of serial novels came to study in the UK, and hoped that I could be a transfer station to collect novels for them on a regular basis. Send it back to China.

"When I heard the news at the time, I was still very surprised, wondering what kind of novel it was that could make the newspaper so motivating.

"Not long after that, I received your novel from England. At that time, I was busy with work, uh, and studies, so I didn't have time to read it, so I sent it directly to China.

"But when I wrote back to you, I found out that your name, Hanchen, is the same as the person who proposed 'time travel' reported in the newspaper not long ago, and the address is the best Cambridge University in the UK.

"At that time, I realized that the Mr. Chen who wrote the novel and the Mr. Chen in the newspaper should be the same person.

"After that, I could always see in the newspapers that you, Hanchen, had made new achievements in physics. Occasionally, the overseas students in Paris, France would discuss you, saying that you came from China. One of the best international students who come to Europe is a role model for the rest of us.

"Especially at the beginning of this year, you discovered the ninth planet in the solar system and named it 'Yellow Emperor Star', which greatly inspired the hearts of our Chinese people in France. Hanchen, you are really proud of us Chinese people. Get angry and show your face!

"I wanted to write to you to congratulate you at that time, but I was afraid that the busy studies at Cambridge University might disturb you.

"Unexpectedly, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Paris Olympics today, Brother Hanchen actually came to the humble house in person, and the two of us finally met.

"At the same time, I never thought that Brother Hanchen could not only write novels, do research in physics and astronomy, but also take part in sports.

"I really want to thank the World Games for this opportunity. If I come a few days later, I will board the ship and set off to return to China and leave France."

Zhang Xiuyou's words became more and more emotional as he spoke.

Although Chen Muwu really wanted to have a few more words with this person in front of him, even the whole night would be fine.

It's just that he didn't come alone. There was a de Broglie dozing off in the car outside the door. Chen Muwu was embarrassed to keep him waiting for too long.

He took out a wad of francs from his inner pocket and placed it on the table.

This is a few hundred pounds of francs that he exchanged in advance before coming to France this time. Although he spent some, it should be thousands of dollars.

"Mr. Zhang, you are working part-time and studying in France at the same time. You must have worked very hard to earn money.

"Little brother, I come from a relatively wealthy family. Not only does Cambridge University provide me with a scholarship every month, but also since the discovery of the new planet, various circles in the UK have also provided me with a lot of bonuses.

"Brother Zhang, you don't have to shirk it. This money is a little bit of my little brother's wish. Although it is a drop in the bucket, I hope it can slightly improve the lives of the compatriots who are working and studying in Paris."

Zhang Xiuyou declined and said: "Hanchen, this is absolutely unacceptable. Your money is too precious, and we will never accept it. Besides, we are studying and working part-time at the same time. Although it is hard work, the income and The cost always pays off."

Chen Muwu suddenly smiled, and blinked at Zhang Xiuyou: "I know, I know. Your salary may be enough to cover tuition and living expenses, but ink and paper need to spend a lot of money, right?"

Hearing these words, Zhang Xiuyou still had a calm expression, but the person sitting next to Chen Muwu was a little flustered and confused.

"Hanchen, I don't quite understand what you mean."

"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. I often think about a question, that is, what should our country do.

"I think warlords like Cao Kun and Wu Peifu, no matter who is the president, will not benefit our country. Although the name 'Republic of China' is new, the thoughts in their hearts are still old."

Zhang Xiuyou was still skeptical, and continued to probe: "Han Chen, are you, like us, a believer in Mr. Sun's 'Three Minisms'?"

Chen Muwu decided not to engage in this charade with him anymore, but to open up the sky and speak frankly: "Mr. Zhang, to be honest, although Mu Wu is a student of science, he has also received a lot of traditional education since he was a child.

"One of my favorite ancient poems is the line in Lu Fangweng's "Golden Cuo Dao Xing", "Although three households in Chu can destroy Qin, how can there be no one in China?".

"And the passage I like most today is the passage in the short article "Youth" published by Mr. Shou Chang in the "New Youth" magazine: "Use the youthful self to create a youthful family, a youthful country, and a youthful life." The nation, the human beings of youth, the earth of youth, and the universe of youth, are endowed with the joy of a boundless life'.

"I really liked this passage so much that I went to find out about Mr. Shou Chang and his point of view.

"'Try to see the world of the future, it must be the world of red flags', this view is great, but to achieve this great goal, there must be thousands of people like Mr. Shouchang and Mr. Zhang who are fighting for it. .

"Of course, Mr. Sun who rebuilt the republic is also great, but Mr. Sun's subordinates are all rich and rich, and they must not be close friends. Be careful."

"Mu Wu, I can't do anything else. Although this amount of money is not much, it is still my heart. It is a kind of support for you abroad. Please accept it."

Zhang Xiuyou looked at the person beside Chen Muwu, and the two exchanged glances quickly.

"Then thank Hanchen for his kindness, we will accept the money first."

"Mr. Zhang, there is another thing. I just heard that you are going back to China. First of all, I wish you a safe journey.

"I just got a teaching position at Cambridge University recently, and I may not be able to return to China within a few years or even ten years. If you and your friends come to Europe for some unavoidable reasons and need someone to take care of you, You could have sent them to me.

"In order to prevent any accidents during this period, I will leave you a code. As long as you can report this string of numbers, then I will do my best to help Mu Wu."

While talking, Chen Muwu took out the pen and notebook he carried with him, wrote down the nine-digit Arabic numeral "299792458" on a blank page, then tore off the page and handed it to Zhang Xiuyou.

In the later International System of Units, one meter is defined as "the distance that light travels in a vacuum in 1/299792458 seconds", that is to say, the exact value of the speed of light is 299792458 meters per second.

But now, the meter is still defined by the meter prototype woven with platinum-iridium alloy kept in the International Bureau of Weights and Measures in Paris, and the speed of light is only roughly measured at about 30 kilometers per second.

It can be said that apart from Chen Muwu, Zhang Xiuyou is the only one who knows the exact speed of light in this world.

Zhang Xiuyou obviously also knew what it meant to have another way out: "Han Chen, thank you very much, I will definitely keep this piece of paper."

When parting, Chen Muwu also said that within a few days, he would ask someone to send some tickets, hoping to invite Zhang Xiuyou and others to watch his swimming competition on the spot.

After leaving the room where Zhang Xiuyou lived, and on the street, Chen Muwu saw de Broglie standing next to the car again, his expression was full of resentment.

"Chen, didn't you agree to visit Chinatown? Where did you go by yourself while I accidentally fell asleep?"

Chen Muwu could only say with a smile: "I just saw you sleeping soundly in the car, so I improvised and visited a Chinese friend in a nearby house.

"Now that you're awake, let's go to the nearby Chinatown, Louis."

It can only be said that there is no coincidence, the two people walked a few steps into Chinatown, and ran into Ye Gongchao head-on, and his new friend he met in Paris in the past few days.

"Hey, George!"

De Broglie yelled hello.

"Hey, Louie! Hey, Brother Hanchen!"

Ye Gongchao obviously saw the two of them too, he turned his head sideways, and stammeringly introduced to the people around him: "That foreigner is a great nobleman in France, and the one next to him is the one I have been talking to with you for the past few days. I mentioned it, my best friend in Cambridge, the greatest scientist among us Chinese in the world today!"

Chen Muwu saw the group of people opposite, their clothes were disheveled, their faces were flushed, they walked with their shoulders crossed and their backs crossed, swaying, they looked like they had drunk too much wine.

But the key point is that this is the afternoon, and they are so drunk, what a shame!
They are also foreign students from China, but compared with the Zhang Xiuyou and others he met just now, how can these people make Chen Muwu feel an inexplicable sense of disgust?
