Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 197 Chapter 145

I was happily singing on the train, but I didn't expect the teacher to suddenly turn the group on me.

Chen Muwu looked around at the teachers and colleagues in the carriage who were going to Liverpool to attend the wedding. Except for him, they should all be married or have been married.

He and Kapitsa are the only ones left alone who feed the whole family without hunger.

But no one would ask Kapiza the same question, because he lost many relatives in a short period of time, including his first wife and two children, because of a major family change. That's why I left Petrograd to go abroad to relax and entered the Cavendish Laboratory.

While Kapitsa has always been upbeat, asking him directly about his marriage is likely to bring back some of his sad memories.

"Teacher, I'm still too young now, and my mind is full of physics. I don't think about marriage for the time being."

Chen Muwu didn't want to talk about this very sacred and private personal issue with everyone, besides, he was not the only one who could decide when to get married, and he had to get the consent of the woman.

And he also wants to take the opportunity of getting married to bring all his family members to Europe, so he must plan well.

Chen Muwu initially thought of saying "get married after completing the superconducting experiment/building the accelerator/discovering the positron/discovering the neutron", but he always felt that this statement seemed to be setting a flag, so he changed his mind.

Fortunately, Rutherford is not like the old lady, who is full of hope that her youngest son will get married soon.

He was just looking for a topic to talk about for a few hours on the train, so that everyone would not be too dull and boring.

Since Chen Muwu didn't want to talk about his relationship with Aifu, he just changed to another topic.

It's a pity that I didn't bring a set of mahjong tiles with me on this temporary trip.

Otherwise, where is the need to find a topic?
This time Chen Muwu did not go directly to the Royal Research Institute in London, but returned to Cambridge with everyone.

He has been on a business trip to London for half a year, and has made an invention and a discovery.

Chen Muwu planned to take a short vacation for himself in college, go to the Kang River to soak in the water, and rest for a few days.

Then he brought Shi Ruwei, who had already had a summer vacation, back to the David Faraday Laboratory to continue his superconducting experiments.

Although he hadn't returned to his Cambridge for nearly half a year, his room at Trinity College was still spotlessly cleaned by servants. This was the honorable treatment he could only enjoy after he became a fellow of the college.

After changing into his swimsuit in the room, Chen Muwu returned to Kanghe.

Although he did not participate in this year's Cambridge-Oxford Joint Games, Cambridge University still achieved good results.

Best believes that this is all due to Chen Muwu.

After all, he was the one who won the Olympic Games, earned face for the Cambridge University Swimming Club, and played vigorously, so that everyone can follow his example and strive to be the first.

Best, the president of the Cambridge University Swimming Club, led his members to stand on the bank of the river and warmly welcomed Chen Muwu, an Olympic gold medalist in swimming and a meritorious member of the club.

Question Chen Muwu, understand Chen Muwu, become Chen Muwu.

Since Chen Muwu won the Olympic Games, the members of the swimming club have updated their swimming equipment.

They ditched wool-knit one-piece swimsuits for the same silk shorts the Olympic champions wore for less underwater resistance.

"Brother Hanchen!"

"Brother Hanchen!"

As soon as he jumped into the Kang River, after swimming back and forth, Chen Muwu heard someone calling him from the bank.

And this name, it seems that I haven't heard it for a long time recently.

Although he told the two Chinese compatriots Zhao Zhongyao and Shi Ruwei more than once, it is good for everyone to call each other by name, and it can also appear more intimate.

But facing themselves who sponsored them to study in the UK, Zhao and Shi always said "Dr. Chen" or "Mr. Chen".

At first Chen Muwu felt awkward, but he couldn't correct it no matter what, so he could only accept it slowly.

Chargé d'affaires Zhu Zhaoxin of the legation always called him by his name, but given the age and status gap, he would never add another brother after "Han Chen".

Only Ye Gongchao would call him "Brother Hanchen". Could it be that he came from Paris to Cambridge University to visit him during the summer vacation?

It shouldn't be, Ye Gongchao was regarded as a gunner by himself, and he had done so much writing and coolie work, he wished he could hide as far away from himself as possible, so how could he personally send him to his door to continue to be exploited by him?

Chen Muwu swam to the shore where the sound came from, and just raised his head from the water, he saw a yellow man in a suit, small round glasses, and a middle part on his head.

Needless to say, this person was really an acquaintance of his, and he had already made acquaintance with this person before he came to Cambridge.

"Brother Zhimo, why did you come to Cambridge? You didn't say anything in advance!" Chen Muwu supported the shore with both hands, and jumped out of the water, "Please wait a moment, I'll go over there and change my clothes."

He ran to the shed on the bank to dry off the water on his body, put on his robe, and then came out to meet Xu Zhimo again.

"I arrived in the UK in April, and I have been to Cambridge University many times, but I have never been able to meet you, Hanchen.

"I just heard from Professor Russell yesterday that you returned to Cambridge, but I didn't expect to run into you by the Cam River today."

If there is no Chen Muwu, then Xu Zhimo must be the most famous Chinese alumnus of Cambridge University.

Even though he is not even a formally registered student, the poem "I go gently, just as I come gently" is so beautiful and famous that Cambridge University dedicated it to him by the river in the future. A monument was erected to commemorate it.

On the way from Kanghe to Trinity College, Chen Muwu already had a general understanding of the purpose and itinerary of Xu Zhimo's trip to England.

He claimed that he came to Europe for a research trip. In March, he took a train through the Siberian Railway and crossed the Eurasian continent.

As a result, as soon as he arrived in Berlin from Sulian, Xu Zhimo had to learn the sad news of his second son's death.

Although Xu Zhimo only saw this second son once, he was still very sad because he was his own flesh and blood after all.

After getting out of the haze, he traveled back and forth between Britain and France many times. During this period, he accompanied his ex-wife Zhang Youyi, who was also sad, to Venice, Italy for half a month. Then his ex-wife returned to Berlin, and he went to Florence alone.

Chen Muwu felt that it was at this time that the article "A Night in Emerald Green", which was once included in middle school textbooks, should have been written.

But I don't know if he has written "Farewell to Cambridge" now?
Chen Muwu's mind wandered, while Xu Zhimo continued to talk about his itinerary: a few days ago, he left Italy and just arrived in London, when he read the news in the newspaper that praised Chen Muwu as the last person who knew everything in the world.

Only then did Xu Zhimo remember that he still had such an old friend in England who he had known a long time ago.

He first found the Royal Research Institute in London according to the clues provided by the newspaper.

But when he arrived, he was told by the people there that Dr. Chen had just left here to attend a wedding in Liverpool.

Xu Zhimo changed his mind temporarily and decided to visit his teacher Russell at Cambridge University first, and then go to London to try his luck in a few days.

Unexpectedly, here today, he finally met Chen Muwu.

In Beijing three years ago, Xu Zhimo admired Chen Muwu very much for explaining the theory of relativity on the podium of the Bei Auditorium. Chen Muwu's compliment.

In the past three years, Chen Muwu had achieved so many achievements in various aspects, so Xu Zhimo couldn't stop praising Chen Muwu from the moment he opened his mouth.

He counted Chen Muwu's achievements that were reported in detail in domestic newspapers, even more clearly than Chen Muwu himself remembered.

Chen Muwu always felt that he had a thick skin. He had fooled foreigners so many times before, so he didn't feel ashamed at all.

However, he felt a little embarrassed when he heard such high-intensity praise today.

It is a pity that such an interesting literary master died young.

If he could not take that plane, maybe there will be a few more modern poems that are required in the Chinese textbook.

Why don't we coax Xu Zhimo into teaching in Sweden after the school is built?

The real intention of Chen Muwu's school is to cultivate academic and industrial talents in China.

But the nominal purpose of this school is that the Crown Prince of Sweden wants to train some talents who understand oriental culture for Sweden. It is only reasonable to find some teachers who understand this knowledge to support the scene.

Xu Zhimo seems to be a good candidate, but I don't know if he can teach Chinese studies well?

In addition to Xu Zhimo, how about inviting Xu Zhimo's teacher, Liang Qichao, to teach abroad for a few years?
The level of medical care in Europe is higher than that of Xiehe Hospital in Beijing. Maybe Mr. Liang can live longer after avoiding the diagnosis of quack doctors this time.

Of course, there were also those masters of Chinese studies who held the pessimistic attitude of "the war of resistance will lead to the country's subjugation" at the beginning of the war of resistance. Chen Muwu felt that it was necessary to invite all of them to Sweden to give lectures.

These people have a high level of Chinese studies, but it is a pity that their ability to judge the current situation is very low.

In the face of the invasion of alien races, all the people in the whole country are united in the same hatred, and their discordant voices are really disturbing.

Yes, just do it!

"Brother Hanchen, why are you frowning? Is there something on your mind?"

The expression on Chen Muwu's face was so obvious that Xu Zhimo could see through his thoughts at once.

However, Chen Muwu's current thoughts and the matter of building a school in Sweden cannot be confessed to Xu Zhimo yet.

He felt that if he spoke out now, after Xu Zhimo returned to China, he would definitely take this incident as another achievement of his own and publicize it for him.

Perhaps Xu Zhimo's original intention was to praise Chen Muwu for not forgetting to serve the country after he became a talent.

But after this news got out, it would definitely attract a lot of flies, and they would try their best to come to Chen Muwu's place to try their luck, hoping to get a share of his meager funding for running the school.

This is absolutely impossible.

Chen Muwu started to make up nonsense again: "Brother Zhimo, you came from afar as a guest, and I should have you here for dinner today. It's just that my little brother's cooking is really not good enough. I'm worrying about what I should treat you to today!"

……

After Xu Zhimo stayed in Cambridge for a few days, he received a telegram from China.

The sender was the one who was in love with him at this time, and the northern socialite Lu Xiaoman who was also known as "Southern Tang Beilu" with Tang Ying from Guhai.

She said in the telegram that she was ill and hoped that Xu Zhimo could return to China as soon as possible.

Upon hearing the news, Xu Zhimo, who is a man in the world of mortals, immediately fell into a state of anxiety.

He wished he could grow wings and fly back to the Republic of China from England immediately.

Chen Muwu's vacation at Cambridge University ended early because of this sudden incident.

As a landlord, he helped Xu Zhimo arrange the matter of returning to China, and bought a combined car and boat ticket from England to France.

He also took Shi Ruwei and returned to London with Xu Zhimo.

Chen Muwu dug a hole for himself in order to let Yoshio Nishina turn his research direction to superconductivity.

Although the isotope of hydrogen has been found at low temperature, Chen Muwu still has no achievements in superconductivity.

He must quickly fill in the pit of the Meissner effect, and let Yoshio Nishina see the "broad prospects" of superconducting research, so that he can strengthen his confidence and go all the way to the dark on this road.

When Meissner conducted experiments, the metal materials used were tin and lead of the fourth main group.

The critical temperature of these two metals is 3.7K and the other is 7.2K.

And ten years later, lead is still the element with the highest superconducting critical temperature ever discovered.

This temperature is lower than the 14 Kelvin when he evaporated the liquid hydrogen before.

In addition, an induction coil for measuring magnetic flux must be added to the material, and the difficulty of the experiment has also increased.

Chen Muwu wondered if he should inadvertently create a material with a relatively high critical temperature, so that the experiment would be more convenient.

For example, magnesium diboride?

But he quickly dismissed his idea.

So far, people's measurement of the superconducting critical temperature is limited to the simple elements existing on the periodic table, and no one has considered the direction of compounds.

Although the search for superconducting materials itself is like alchemy, there is a bit of metaphysics in it.

But if Chen Muwu suddenly took out a compound with a critical temperature as high as 39K, it would be too metaphysical.

Magnesium diboride is impractical, so niobium is better.

As long as it is under the banner of studying the superconducting properties of subgroup elements, niobium, a metallic material with a critical temperature as high as 10 Kelvin, can be discovered inadvertently.

Discovered the superconducting critical temperature of niobium, and then accidentally discovered the magical phenomenon of superconducting niobium suspended in a magnetic field. Is this academic logic much more reasonable?
