Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 249 197 Lively Trinity College
Whether Compton's suggestion will work or not is hard to say.

Hoover has served as the Secretary of Commerce of the United States since 1921. His official position was appointed by former President Harding when he started his first and only presidential term.

In 1923, the most disgraced and worst president in American history died of illness on his way out for a speech tour. Vice President Coolidge was ordered to take the oath of office late at night in a small farmhouse in Vermont.

Coolidge is probably the most unknown president. His administrative measures, to paraphrase an ancient Chinese saying, are to govern by doing nothing.

He kept most of the officers in the previous Harding administration, although he personally disliked some of them, such as Hoover.

Because the latter loves to show off, Coolidge gave Hoover a somewhat eccentric nickname, calling him "Wonder Boy".

Although he didn't like Hoover, when he refused to participate in the next presidential election and the Republican Party put forward Hoover as the presidential candidate, Coolidge accepted the decision without any complaints.

Some people also said that Coolidge foresaw the imminent collapse of the American economy behind the prosperity, so he said that he would not participate in the next presidential election, and he did not reject the Republican Party's nomination of Hoover as the presidential candidate. Like the Minister of Commerce once again.

Perhaps Hoover, who had conflicts with Coolidge, could use his influence in the Republican Party and the United States to urge Congress to abolish those unjust immigration laws, and to invite Chen Muwu to teach in the United States as a kind of merit, for his future. to add chips to the presidential campaign.

Maybe Compton's starting point is good, but the idea he put forward is somewhat different.

It is true that Hoover has been to China, and he is the only president in American history who can speak Chinese.

Even the place where he worked in China was in the same city as the university that Chen Muwu attended in China.

It's a pity that what he did in China was really disgraceful. Taking advantage of the Boxer Rebellion's counter-offensive, he took advantage of the timidity of the Qing officials and cooperated with the foreigners' inner ghosts to make the Kaiy Mining Bureau, a legacy of the Westernization Movement, the Qing Dynasty. The state-owned assets were coaxed and sold to the British at extremely low prices.

As the representative and manager of the buyer's British company, Hoover also made a lot of money in this transaction.

As the perfect candidate in Compton's vision, if Hoover really came forward to invite Chen Muwu to visit the United States, then the invited Xiao Chen would probably scoff at his fake goodwill.

I hate it, but if Hoover can really abolish those unreasonable and discriminatory immigration laws, then Chen Muwu doesn't mind going to the United States to create momentum for the most unlucky presidential election in American history.

He had long imagined that, like Conan Doyle, he would go to that vast and ignorant continent to make a fortune.

Like Compton, Michelson didn't know the grievances and grievances behind it. He just felt that the physics professor proposed a more feasible solution.

Regardless of whether Hoover will listen to the opinions of those in the educational and academic circles, whether or not his proposed repeal bill will be passed by Congress, in the end, they have tried it and have released Dr. Chen in Cambridge. goodwill.

Maybe in the future, if Dr. Chen wants to change places, he will be the first to consider the beautiful and rich land of America?
Michelson began to write letters to the presidents and well-known professors of famous American universities, not limited to Harvard and the University of California, hoping that everyone could join hands so that the American political circles could hear their voices from education and scientific research.

In addition to the United States, the European continent is also surging.

But everyone's attention was not only focused on Chen Muwu, but also on Rutherford.

From 1919 to 1926, Rutherford was in charge of the Cavendish Laboratory for seven years, and Rutherford was also full of peaches and plums.

There are many people in continental Europe who are his students, the most famous and the highest academic status among them should be Geiger of Kiel University.

But Geiger felt that a remote place like Keele University was not worthy of his teacher.

So he wrote to Planck in Berlin, hoping to recommend Rutherford to the Humboldt University of Berlin.

It just so happens that Planck will retire this year, and his position as head of the physics department is more suitable for the highly respected Rutherford than for Pauli, a newcomer with no achievements.

However, Geiger did not put his words so bluntly in the letter. He chose a way of expression that he thought was very cryptic.

But why talk about "Liao Zhai" to the thousand-year-old fox?
Planck completely saw through Geiger's implication. He felt that Professor Geiger's idea was a bit taken for granted.

Not to mention that it was impossible for the Humboldt University of Berlin to hire someone who could not even speak German as the head of the physics department.

Even if Rutherford was really offered a letter of appointment, he would definitely not come.

He has such a great reputation, so many research results, and he has a Nobel Prize, er, although it is a chemistry prize.

This qualification is simply going sideways in universities in English-speaking countries. Let alone a teaching position, as a department head, even if Rutherford wants to be the principal, there will be a lot of schools that can give up this position.

Although Rutherford was not too impressed, like Göttingen, Planck at Humboldt University in Berlin also wanted to recruit Chen Muwu.

If you want to say that in this world, Humboldt University is definitely the first school to hear the news of a physics genius in the Far East, earlier than Cambridge University and much earlier than Cornell University.

It's just that Planck would lose if he hesitated at that time. If he couldn't make up his mind, he was given the preemptive step by Eddington, who worked hard for Einstein.

Later, Chen Muwu made so many achievements in physics. Although many of them were published in the "Annals of Physics" edited by him, after all, the mailing address was not written in Germany, which made Planck very sad.

Now that there is such an opportunity, it is natural not to miss it.

Previously, he and Chen Muwu had developed a good relationship because of frequent communication and telephony due to academic issues.

But Planck, who was getting old, became cautious in dealing with others. He was afraid that the relationship between them would not be enough to move Chen Muwu, so he went to find Einstein again, hoping that he could join him in giving Dr. Chen Write an invitation letter jointly.

The current perception of Chen Muwu is Einstein who loves and hates, but he readily agreed to Planck's request.

He only had one thought, and that was to hope that Dr. Chen, who was becoming more and more "deviant", would come to him.

Einstein believed that, relying on day-to-day persuasion and education, he would soon be able to get Chen Muwu to give up his fantasy and get back on track, thereby calming down the growing academic debate between the two.

The outside world has made such a big commotion, and Cambridge University is not peaceful.

Belfort, who thought he had finally caught Chen Muwu and wanted to drive him out of school, never thought that his scheme would lead to such a big mess.

So at the Cambridge University Council meeting in the next few days, his proposal was never mentioned by the participants.

Whether to punish those students who supported the strike was shelved indefinitely, but the proposal jointly proposed by Old Thomson and Rutherford to give Chen Muwu the position of professor was also rejected by the council.

Belfort was upset at Chen Muwu, but the newcomer Rutherford's name appeared on this proposal, which bothered him.

It would have been nice if you hadn't been kicked out of Cambridge, how could your wish be fulfilled?

In the UK, because of the emergence of this incident, the discussion on the strike that had just temporarily subsided has resurfaced.

Some people supported Belfort, thinking that Chen Muwu, a Chinese who lived in England with British money, should not dictate to Britain.

The representative figure who held this attitude was Churchill. He believed that there was nothing wrong with the Cambridge Chancellor.

Speaking of which, Churchill and Belfort still have a lot of connections. Belfort's political teacher was Churchill's father, and he himself was Churchill's Conservative Party predecessor. The two have worked together for many years.

In addition to Churchill, supporting Belfort is Romer, who has almost disappeared from the British popular fiction circle.

Since the publication of a series of George Chen detective novels, the positive and brilliant image of the Chinese in it completely defeated his Fu Manchu series, which smeared the Chinese through imaginings, and lived on the royalties. Romer, life has been difficult.

He always wants to write a novel that can surpass Chen Qiaozhi, but he is always ashamed of the latest works in Chen Qiaozhi's series.

I don't know who this insane writer named Chandler York is.

I don't know what is the background behind the sudden appearance of Penguin Press.

Why can they invite Conan Doyle, the grandfather of British detective novels, to write a joint novel between Sherlock Holmes and George Chen as an endorsement for this series?
It is rumored that whether it is a Chinese student studying abroad or studying at Cambridge University, the prototype of George Chen is this Chen Muwu.

Romer, who hated his house and couldn't beat Chen Qiaozhi, also hated Chen Muwu, who had made a big splash at Cambridge University.

Now, Chen Muwu, who is a little bit cocky, committed such a thing by himself, and Luo Mo felt that he had to take advantage of his illness to kill him. In this way, Chen Qiaozhi's arrogance would definitely be hit.

So after not showing up for a long time, he began to jump up and down in the newspapers in his hometown, expressing his support for the decision of the principal of Belfort, that these students who ate too much mashed potatoes must be severely punished.

If someone opposes it, there must be someone who supports it.

Chen Muwu's biggest backer in the UK, the Duke of York, his identity and status made it clear that he would never do the useless work of "thundering and raining" in newspapers.

Knowing that Chen Muwu might be expelled from Cambridge University, he directly sent his subordinates.

On the one hand, it is to warn Belfort to end this nondescript farce as soon as possible.

On the other hand, it is to do the work of Dr. Chen. As the best friend of the Duke of York in the scientific community, I hope he can stay in Cambridge. If everything cannot be undone, at least stay in the UK.

The servant of the royal family who had met Chen Muwu countless times, even quietly voted for him: as long as he wants to go to any university around London, it's just a matter of one word!

Chen Muwu, who met the guests in the reception room of Trinity College, just wanted to deal with the kindness from the Duke of York as soon as possible, and then return to the laboratory to continue working with Cockcroft on the proton source.

It can only be said that the more I think about something, the less I get. Before I finished meeting with the royal servants, the staff of Trinity College came in to report that a guest named de Broglie came to visit Chen Muwu from France , has arrived at the academy.

Not long after, the staff came again and told him that a young man from Denmark who claimed to be Heisenberg had also arrived.

Compared with Planck who wanted to write a letter to invite Chen Muwu to Berlin, the French and Danes were full of sincerity.

De Broglie regards Chen Muwu as a good friend. If a good friend is in trouble, he will definitely come to help.

Moreover, he had told Chen Muwu more than once that if he were to come to Paris to do research together, he would have friends and a girl he liked, so why not do it?

As for Denmark, Bohr initially wanted to come in person.

As a result, Heisenberg volunteered, and his reasons were sound.

He said, teacher, you had already been to England once at the beginning of this year, and it didn't make sense to go again half a year later.

Of course it is a good story that you are so respectful and virtuous, but you must also pay attention to your identity. The director of the Institute of Theoretical Physics at the University of Copenhagen, who runs so far away to invite people every day, will easily be looked down upon.

This time I went to the UK to invite Dr. Chen, and I Werner is willing to share the teacher's worries.

Chen Muwu lived in Trinity College for several years, and got along very well with everyone in the courtyard.

The staff wanted the Duke of York to come forward and keep Chen Muwu.

That's why he played hard to get, and told the news about the arrival of two more groups of guests in front of the royal servants, hoping that after returning to London, he could convey all the things he had seen and heard to the duke.

Seeing that Chen Muwu still had two groups of guests to meet, the royal servant who had conveyed the purpose of the trip stood up, took his leave and left.

He was the subordinate of his big patron, and he had traveled to Cambridge hard, and what he conveyed was only beneficial to him. Of course, Chen Muwu would not neglect this royal servant, so he got up and sent him outside the gate of Trinity College.

In the parking lot, the two were having the last pleasantries before getting into the car.

At this moment, a car with the Swedish flag also drove into the parking lot along the road.

A staff member came to ask the driver why he was here.

"Is Dr. Chen at Trinity College? Could you please tell me that the counselor of the Swedish embassy, ​​entrusted by the Crown Prince of Sweden, invited Dr. Chen to teach in Stockholm."

The royal servant who was about to get into the car also heard this sentence.

Another new country!
Dr. Chen is so popular, he must truthfully report to His Highness the Duke to make him realize the seriousness of this matter!
