Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 250 Chapter 198

As soon as the royal servants sent by the Duke of York were sent away over there, Chen Muwu chatted and laughed with the counselor of the Swedish embassy in the UK again.

Coincidentally, he and the counselor met by chance in the parking lot.

Hearing that the other party wanted to talk to Dr. Chen about something, the staff of Trinity College betrayed Chen Muwu without hesitation, pointing to the young East Asian who was standing by the roadside watching the Duke of York's servant go away and said : "Well, that's the one."

Logically speaking, the servants of the royal family heard the Swedish counselor's questioning. Chen Muwu was neither deaf nor dumb, and could understand English, so of course he should have heard it.

But the reason why he pretended to be okay and did not respond to the Swedes was not because he was dissatisfied with Sweden, but because De Broglie and Heisenberg were already waiting in the reception room of Trinity College long time.

According to the first-come, first-served rule, he felt that he should go back to the academy first and meet the two of them.

Two years ago in Copenhagen, due to various reasons, there was some unpleasantness between De Broglie and Bohr.

Although Heisenberg was not Bohr but Heisenberg who came to England from Denmark this time, Chen Muwu was still worried, fearing that the two young men with fresh blood would have disputes and would fight in the reception room.

But the staff had already revealed his identity, so Chen Muwu could only put on an enthusiastic expression, and stepped forward to greet him with a breeze.

Facing the Swedish visitor, he dared not neglect anything.

On the one hand, it is because the crown prince of Sweden is Chen Muwu's big benefactor and good friend.

On the other hand, it is because Sweden is also a retreat that he has prepared for himself in advance.

If it was really because of this big or small thing that he couldn't stay in the UK any longer, there was still a school in Stockholm waiting for Chen Muwu.

In his eyes, whether it is the United States, Germany, or de Broglie's France and Bohr's Denmark, although they all sent invitations, these places also have their own inconveniences.

Not to mention whether the local experimental equipment is used smoothly, nor is it said that the huge particle accelerator cannot be taken away. If you want to further study particle physics in a new place, you need to rebuild the generator.

It is only said that during the three years at Cambridge University, Chen Muwu has cultivated a set of good interpersonal relationships, which is an intangible and intangible treasure.

When you arrive in a new place, you always need to meet a group of new people, which brings a lot of meaningful or meaningless social interactions. For Chen Muwu, this is really a waste of time.

But Stockholm is different. The school that was named by the Crown Prince of Sweden and the Wallenberg family actually paid for the construction has his shares in the middle. It is one of the hard work he has accumulated in the past few years in Europe.

And the advantage of building a new school is that everything can start from scratch.

Chen Muwu does not need to integrate into an established academic society like going to other universities.

As long as he wants, he can completely establish a new academic circle centered on him in the local area.

Chen Muwu accompanied the counselor of the Swedish embassy into the reception room of Trinity College.

But before that, he didn't forget to take a special trip to the reception room, say hello to De Broglie and Heisenberg, and tell him that he was on business and couldn't meet the two people who came first. difficulties.

In the reception room, what Chen Muwu was most afraid of did not happen.

De Broglie and Heisenberg didn't fight each other, and they didn't get along as stiffly as he had imagined.

Both of them were reading books quietly. In front of De Broglie was the latest issue of "Reader's Digest" from Penguin Press, while Heisenberg read the issue of "Natural Journal of the Scientific Society.

Seeing Chen Muwu walk in, the two got up enthusiastically.

Listening to his apologetic explanation of why he came here, he had to compensate the Swedish counselors for business affairs first, and then he could express his feelings to them. Both of them said that they were friends, so there was no need to explain, as it should be, anyway, the two of them definitely did not I will come and go on the same day, and it is hard to come once, so I must stay at Cambridge University for a few more days.

De Broglie regarded him as a friend, and Chen Muwu still knew about it.

Just when did Heisenberg consider himself a friend?

Was he overwhelmed by his academic achievements, or by his martial arts level?
With doubts, Chen Muwu thanked them both, and turned to chase the counselor who had been led to the reception room.

Similar to what he heard in the parking lot, the guest repeated the invitation to Stockholm.

But besides that, he took out a translated telegram and handed it to Chen Muwu, saying that it was a private telegram sent to you by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince through a dedicated line.

Prince Gustav said in the telegram that the school is expected to be completely completed in the summer of next year, and there is still a year before it will be put into use. The matching work of recruiting students and hiring teaching staff should start as soon as possible. .

Alas, this was indeed an important matter that Chen Muwu hadn't considered carefully before.

It's okay to find a teacher for the school. In terms of physics, he doesn't say that he can respond to everyone, but he doesn't have to be alone.

The old people in the Cavendish laboratory couldn't dig, but Chen Muwu felt that he could still take away many young scholars of his own age.

Oppenheimer, as well as Zhao Zhongyao and Shi Ruwei, these two Chinese compatriots, needless to say, as their three nominal mentors, Chen Muwu felt that it was necessary for them to graduate quickly in the next year, at least to Get a diploma from Cambridge University.

As for the other Cockcroft in his group now, it is hard to say whether he would like to go or stay.

After all, he is British, and Cambridge University is the best university in the UK.

If they could stay in Cambridge to study and do research, and even have the opportunity to teach, no one would be willing to go to northern Europe with cold weather and become the founding father of a new unknown school.

By way of analogy, who would be willing to work as a small lecturer in a new university in Hanoi, Vietnam, if he could stay in Bei University for a PhD?

But another Englishman, Dirac, Chen Muwu thought to himself that he was still capable of taking him down.

Because as soon as I left Cambridge University, a place full of experimental physics, there was one less general who could discuss and study theoretical physics with him.

In the original time and space, after Dr. Dirac graduated, it was because it was hard to find a bosom friend, so he went to Göttingen first, and then to Copenhagen.

So in this time and space, it is entirely possible for him to go to Stockholm!

Chen Muwu believes that the most critical point for strengthening the faculty of the school in Sweden is not himself, but his mother-in-law, Madame Curie.

As long as this heavyweight can be invited to Stockholm, with such a sycamore tree, are you afraid that you won't be able to recruit a phoenix?
As for fooling the Crown Prince of Sweden, it would be easier to help him hire some teachers who can speak Chinese culture.

With a high salary, coupled with the gimmick of being able to become a professor in a foreign university, those literati in China will no longer care about humiliation and politeness, and rush to sign up.

But the source of students is indeed a big issue that has to be considered.

If he cooperates with China in his own name, he will ask domestic people to help organize examinations and selections, and select qualified high school graduates to study in Sweden.

Chen Muwu felt that within two or three years, after the domestic political situation stabilized, his selection activities, including the funds allocated to the country, would definitely be picked by the Ministry of Education, which changed its surname to the initials of Cao.

The only good way is to suppress the discomfort in my heart and ask the foreigners to come forward. All the examinations and selections are conducted under the supervision and participation of foreigners, so that there is a little guarantee of fairness.

The address of the school is in Sweden, and the money is paid by the Swedes, so there is no need to trouble others for the task of supervising the exam.

Thinking of this, Chen Muwu and the counselor sitting opposite asked if they could write a reply to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and ask them to forward it on their behalf?
After getting an affirmative answer, he first picked up the pen and paper that had been prepared by the table, and wrote a lot of words of thanks—anyway, the telegram was free of charge.

Then he wrote down his thoughts completely on paper, hoping that Prince Gustav could let the Swedish Legation in Shanghai set up a special selection department every year.

After seeing Dr. Chen, and relaying to him what His Highness the Crown Prince explained, and now getting this reply in my hand, the Counselor's trip to Cambridge was a complete success.

He declined Chen Muwu's invitation to stay and have dinner, and he had to take the bus back to London while it was still early.

The development of automobiles is getting faster and faster, and the level of technology is getting higher and higher. Those with status and money can finally give up the steam trains that have been ravaged by soot.

The more cars there are running on the street, the more Chen Muwu can collect a patent fee from them. In his eyes, each of these iron shells running on the road is like moving money.

The Duke of York said to help him contact Rolls-Royce, but he didn't know when the representative of this luxury car factory would come to him?
After such a series of incidents, Chen Muwu felt that he was even more tired than before.

In just one afternoon, he will receive three batches of guests.

He had just sent the Swedish counselor away, but there were two people waiting for him in the room of Trinity College behind him.

De Broglie and Heisenberg had similar rhetoric and purpose, one invited him to the University of Paris, and the other invited him to the University of Copenhagen.

Chen Muwu vaguely asked himself to think about it, and after saying a few words, he took the two of them straight to the dinner party at Trinity College.

An hour or two later, the two guests who left the dinner saw how unpalatable the meal in the best college of the best university in the world really is.

Heisenberg, who had just arrived, was still restrained, but De Broglie had already started a new round of kicking.

"Chen, it's really hard for me to compliment the level of food in your school. You have to face this kind of unpalatable food every day. It may not even be called food. It's really hard for you to live in the UK for so many years. .

"If you go back to France with me, let alone my family, even the cafeteria of the University of Paris, the food will definitely be [-] times better than here.

"Oh, by the way, during these two years of living in France, George helped me train a cook who can cook simple Chinese food. If you have a chance, go to France and try it out to see if it's authentic or not!"

In an instant, Chen Muwu was indeed moved by what De Broglie said.

But compared to the temptation of delicious food, he was more afraid of being invited by the Gestapo to a concentration camp for prison meals.

Chen Muwu used his connections to find a place for Heisenberg in Cambridgeshire.

He didn't need to make arrangements for De Broglie. When he came to England this time, he still chose to stay in a hotel, and he had a servant with him to help with various matters.

The so-called relationship was actually nothing more than his former landlord, Mrs. Brown.

Zhao Zhongyao and Shi Ruwei were still living in the room on the second floor of her house. Hearing that Dr. Chen had brought a German this time, Mrs. Brown began to take a wait-and-see attitude towards German food.

It has been a long time since I met Chen Muwu. The first thing Mrs. Brown said after meeting him was not to ask how he was doing recently, but to ask him about the round-faced Chinese named George who lived in France. How about it, when you have time, come to the UK for a walk and take a look around?
It seems that Zhao and Shi's culinary skills are still more or less insufficient. Mrs. Brown's heart is always concerned about Ye Gongchao, who introduced her to delicious Chinese food for the first time.

Silent all night.

The next day, Chen Muwu brought the two guests who came from afar to the Cavendish Laboratory.

It’s all here, how can we not visit this sacred place of physics in the world today?

Rutherford had met de Broglie, who was one of the big sponsors of the laboratory two years ago.

Heisenberg, he only heard him mention this name several times in the correspondence with Bohr, and knew that he was a student that his student valued more, and this was the first time we met today.

After greeting the two guests, Rutherford became unhappy.

He told Crowther before that it was not a momentary impulse to let him release the news that he was resigning from the position of director of the Cavendish Laboratory, but he really had this idea.

Now it seems that my method of blackmail seems to have really worked. The council has been closed for several days, and no one is talking about punishing those students.

However, this move by Rutherford caused a bigger problem, that is, the whole world knew that Chen Muwu and himself might leave Cambridge University, so many universities and institutions also offered olive branches.

Since he could stay in Cambridge, Rutherford would never accept these invitations again.

But he was only worried about one thing, and that was that his favorite student, Dr. Chen, would be snatched away from him by other schools.

The two guests that Chen Muwu brought to meet today, their purpose of coming to Cambridge University is self-evident, and they must be lobbyists with malicious intentions.

Mr. Director frowned, and the tobacco in the pipe had been changed several times.

We must think of a good way to keep Chen Muwu firmly in Cambridge!
