Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 191 Chapter 139

Compared with Oppenheimer, Pauli's mental state is not much better.

Even when Einstein faced the BKS theory jointly proposed by Bohr and his two students, he once said to Born, "If the BKS theory is correct, then he would rather change his career to be a shoe repairer, or A worker in a casino", so what's so special about Pauli wanting to change his career?
Of course, the shoe repair that Einstein mentioned in his letter did not mean going to a roadside stall in the true sense.

He has mentioned more than once that his seven years as a clerk at the Patent Office in Bern, Switzerland, was not much different from his "career as a shoe repairer".

Of course, for a smart person like him, if he doesn't study physics problems, then the two jobs of making a living at the patent office and repairing shoes on the side of the road are about the same.

After entering the [-]th century, the development of physics is really too fast, as long as you lose your mind a little, you will not be able to keep up with the pace.

Michelson, who accurately measured the speed of light, rejected the theory of relativity because he did not want to believe that the ether does not exist, and has always appeared in textbooks as a villain.

And Professor Duane, who was stuck with Compton's paper and prevented him from publishing it in the American "Physical Review", also became a ridiculous background board in the records about the Compton effect in later generations.

It is not uncommon for well-known physicists, or not-yet-famous physicists, to be unable to accept emerging physics concepts for a while.

And Pauli did have two times in history that he wanted to give up physics and switch to other professions.

The first Zeeman effect could not be fully explained by theory, which made him so depressed that he wanted to be a clown actor.

At that time, Chen Muwu hadn't made his mark in the physics world, so he didn't catch up with this time.

However, Chen Muwu saved Pauli from this unrealistic idea, because he proposed the electron spin at the Solvay conference, which made the abnormal Zeeman effect that has been puzzling physicists for more than 20 years finally come to an end. can be well explained.

But that time, Pauli was somewhat ungrateful. Not only did he not appreciate Chen Muwu for bringing him back to the right track of physics research, but he also accused electron spin as a ridiculous idea.

It was not until Chen Muwu and Kapitza successfully performed the Stern-Gerlach experiment on the ground state of the hydrogen atom, which proved that the spin of the electron does exist, that the always arrogant Pauli shut up.

Pauli wanted to change his career for the second time, historically because of those things in wave mechanics.

It was just that after the arrival of Chen Muwu, the spread of the quantum mechanics was too large, and the speed was too fast, which led to the erroneous mistakes. Pauli did not blame wave mechanics for his change of career, but pinned it on quantum mechanics. On the parallel universe.

But no one will take his remarks seriously, and Pauli will eventually return to physics.

Chen Muwu believes that this kind of genius who is so arrogant that even Einstein looks down on him will never give up his favorite physics research just because of a period of time.

On the contrary, the existence of Chen Muwu can also set up a goal for Pauli that will always be elusive.

Let him always have a lot of energy in his heart, wanting to defeat Chen Muwu one day, and then prove himself.

So Chen Muwu didn't want to persuade Pauli to recognize the situation, give up illusions, and return to physics research as soon as possible.

Instead, he came up with a radical method, collecting all the books published by Chen George from the first to the present, signing Chandler's name, and then sending them to the bookstore in Germany in the name of Penguin Publishing House. Pauli in Hamburg.

"Mr. Pauli, I heard that you want to change your career and that you like to read my works. I am very honored. I am enclosing all the currently published works of George Chen's series with this letter. Please correct me."

On the contrary, Blackett is a man of great wisdom.

Although he and Chen Muwu are good friends, they only told him about some interesting things he encountered when he was a visiting scholar in Germany.

He didn't ask Chen Muwu about the parallel universe, which has always been a hot topic, because Blackett felt that instead of causing trouble for himself, he would rather cause trouble for Chen Muwu.

He may not be able to understand Chen Muwu's theories, but he may be able to get some inspiration for his own research direction from Chen Muwu.

While at the University of Göttingen, Blackett gradually became interested in cosmic rays, which had been discovered in 1912.

He has been using and improving the Wilson cloud chamber for a long time, and this cloud chamber can not only observe the trajectories and reactions of particles inside and outside the nucleus, but also the particles in cosmic rays.

Blackett asked Chen Muwu if he had any opinion on cosmic ray research.

"Uh, Patrick, your research direction is very good. Please keep on researching. Our knowledge of the universe is still very limited. Maybe the secrets of the universe are hidden in these rays."

After thinking about it, Chen Muwu still only talked about Che Rulu.

He didn't have the nerve to say that there are positrons in cosmic rays. As long as you observe more in the cloud chamber, and consider adding a magnetic field to the rays, and observe the deflection of the particles, maybe you can help me find out that everyone has been missing Believe that the positron comes out.

Blackett rested briefly at his home for a few days before leaving London to return to Cambridge University to report, and Chen Muwu finally waited until Oppenheimer, who had escorted the experimental equipment and various liquid gases from the Netherlands, returned.

When he passed the British customs with these things, he also made a kind of joke.

When the customs staff saw Oppenheimer carrying a bunch of steel cylinders, they thought he was carrying liquefied petroleum gas, the kind that could explode if he was not careful.

But even imported liquefied petroleum gas is basically transported in large iron tanks. This is the first time they have seen so many daily-used steel cylinders pass the customs.

Although he showed an American passport, Oppenheimer spoke with a German accent passed down by his family.

The British Customs felt that it might be the German devils trying to launch a terrorist bombing attack again, so they hurriedly evacuated the crowd present and wanted to detain Oppenheimer for interrogation.

Fortunately, after Oppenheimer's defense, the call was made to the Royal Institute.

After some explanations from Chen Muwu, the customs staff realized that these steel cylinders contained liquid nitrogen and hydrogen that the Royal Society wanted to carry out scientific research, rather than the harmful liquefied petroleum gas.

Of course, liquid nitrogen and liquid hydrogen contained in steel Dewar bottles can also explode, but Chen Muwu deliberately concealed this.

Because the call was transferred layer by layer, the call finally came to the Royal Research Institute, so the old Prague also knew that the American student Chen Muwu assigned him brought back a lot of "dangerous goods" from the Netherlands.

After these equipment and steel cylinders were finally delivered to the laboratory, Old Prague rushed over immediately. He also wanted to see what Chen Muwu had bought, and at the same time estimated that it would cost the David Faraday Laboratory to reimburse these items. how much money.

When he saw these bottles and cans, Old Prague couldn't help it: "Dr. Chen, these, did he buy these from the Netherlands?"

"Not all of them," Oppenheimer, who felt that he had done a lot of hard work, answered first, "Only the liquid gas inside was purchased, and these steel cylinders were rented from Leiden University with only a part of the deposit.

"Leiden University also said that if you buy more next time, the price will be even more favorable."

"Dr. Chen, when you said that you went to the Netherlands to purchase equipment and medicines, did you just buy these liquid nitrogen and liquid hydrogen? But these things are sold in the UK!"

After hearing what he said, Chen Muwu's brows immediately became hemp ropes.

No, it was Onnes who told me at the beginning that the low-temperature factory at Leiden University could provide liquid gas to 80.00% of universities and laboratories in Europe, so I decided to buy from them for superconducting and separating liquid The deuterium experiment is coming.

Why is it bought back now, and the old Prague said that it is also sold in the UK?

If there are low-temperature factories in Britain, why did Sir Dewar give up the research on low-temperature physics in his later years?
He told his doubts, and Old Prague couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this.

"Dr. Chen, it seems that your genius brain is only limited to physics and astronomy. If you go to do business, you will probably be scammed for nothing."

What he said made Chen Muwu very dissatisfied. Didn't he witness with his own eyes two days ago that he sold a piece of glass for a high price of tens of thousands of pounds?
The old Prague continued: "Professor Onnes said that it is not wrong. The low temperature plant of Leiden University is indeed very powerful, and it can indeed provide liquid gas to 80.00% of universities and laboratories in Europe.

"It's just that the UK is in the remaining 20.00%, not only the UK, but also France, and even Germany, which lost the war and was greatly injured.

"Whether it's high-brightness lighting or metal welding with oxygen and acetylene, oxygen plays an important role in industry.

"Do you think that big industrial countries like Britain, France and Germany are not capable of producing oxygen by themselves, but must import the pure oxygen they liquefy from Leiden University?
"Dr. Chen, you should now be able to understand what Professor Onnes meant when he said that their liquid gas can supply 80.00% of universities and laboratories in Europe."

Old Prague emphasized the words "university" and "laboratory" in order to point out the wordplay in Onnes' words.

He also told Chen Muwu that the organization that produces oxygen in the UK has a very straightforward name, the British Oxygen Company.

They used refrigeration compression equipment to separate oxygen and nitrogen from liquid air.

They will also help separate the liquid hydrogen if needed.

Whether it is transportation or selling price, it is much more convenient and cheaper to buy directly from the British Oxygen Company than to buy from Leiden University across the Channel.

This was an eye-opener for Chen Muwu. How did he know that there were so many twists and turns?

Professor Onnes, what a benevolent old man he looked, he had already retired, and he didn't forget to trick himself.

After opening the box containing the cryogenic equipment, the expression on Old Prague's face became even more exciting.

"Dr. Chen, you were not only deceived about the gas, you were also deceived about this instrument.

"Look at the nameplate on this instrument, the Linde company. Although there are letters L and D in it, this company has nothing to do with the University of Leiden, and even its location has nothing to do with it. Not in Holland, but in Germany.

"Linde is currently the best manufacturer of refrigeration equipment in the world. If you order an instrument from Leiden University, it seems that the other party has just ordered a new one from Linde in Germany.

"This company started out as a refrigeration equipment, in order to let the drunkards in Germany drink colder and refreshing beer in summer.

"Afterwards, a beer manufacturer ordered a machine capable of liquefying carbon dioxide from them, which led them to start researching on Air Liquide and achieved great results.

"The German Air Liquide company I just told you about is this one, and its scale is much larger than the small factory in Leiden. Even the British Oxygen Company is held by them.

"Dr. Chen, you really got fooled in Holland and suffered a big loss!"

Old Prague, who hated iron but not steel, unconsciously raised the volume of his speech when criticizing and educating Chen Muwu.

Most likely, he felt sorry for the laboratory funds that he had finally obtained, and wasted again by Chen Muwu, who took advantage of him.

But it's useless to regret now.

The money has been spent, the equipment and the liquid gas have come to the laboratory.

Old Prague could only suppress his distress, and persuaded Chen Muwu.

"Dr. Chen, in the past six months, you have made a lot of contributions to the reconstruction of David Faraday's laboratory. As the director of the laboratory, I thank you very much!
"I hope you don't take the loss of buying the equipment this time, after all, the money spent is nothing compared to the funds you earned for the laboratory.

"Now that the instrument has returned to its place, then you should be able to work on the experiment you have designed a long time ago, right?
"I sincerely wish you good results in David Faraday's laboratory!"

Chen Muwu's plan changed again.

He had no reason to drive Oppenheimer, who had traveled so hard to Europe to buy expensive equipment and gas for him, back to Cambridge, and then invited Shi Ruwei back again.

This can't be justified.

Then we can only do the research on the magnetic flux inside the superconductor first, but first separate the deuterium from the liquid hydrogen.

When it came to hands-on experiments, Oppenheimer had no hope, so he could only roll up his arms and sleeves and play in person.

At the beginning, under the hands of the boss, he had to do experiments by himself.

After time travel and a new boss, I still have to do my own experiments.

As a result, the daughter-in-law who had been struggling for many years became a mother-in-law. After becoming a mentor and having free labor, she still needs to play by herself.

Why is my life so miserable!
