Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 254 202 The Beautiful Girl Is Married

Although Oppenheimer was not able to travel eastward with him, Chen Muwu did not set off alone.

After persuading him to no avail, De Broglie left Cambridge with him.

It was not De Broglie who persuaded Chen Muwu to stay, but Chen Muwu who persuaded De Broglie to stay at Cambridge University for a few more days.

What Chen Muwu thought was that he would be idle after arriving in France anyway, so it would be better to stay in the Cavendish laboratory and follow Cockcroft and the others to do experiments and so on.

But De Broglie didn't think so. He was different from von Neumann and Heisenberg, the two young people who came to Cambridge University for the first time. I stayed there for several months, so far I don't feel anything new.

And the purpose of his trip was to meet Chen Muwu.

If he is really expelled from Cambridge University, please invite him to Paris by the way.

Now that Chen Muwu is leaving, De Broglie feels that there is no point in staying any longer.

It's better to walk together, so that you can have a companion on the way back to Paris.

In fact, from the UK to St. Petersburg, there is no need to cross the Strait first, and then take a train and spend a few days and nights on the European continent.

There is also a more direct way that does not need to change the means of transportation frequently, and that is to take a boat.

After all, St. Petersburg can be regarded as a port city. You only need to board a ship from Norwich and cross the North Sea and the Baltic Sea one after another.

It's just that Kapitsa, who was originally a local, would not choose such a way of travel. Chen Muwu felt that there was no need for him to take this risk. The trip to Beihai a few years ago still left a deep memory on him.

This time I went to the train station in Cambridgeshire, and I still took the car of Kapitsa.

However, the driver was replaced by Dirac, but he still couldn't resist the temptation of driving pleasure. After joining St. John's College, he negotiated with Kapitsa and bought this second-hand car on an installment plan.

Kapitsa was also sitting in this car. His identity was not Dirac's coach, but an escort for Chen Muwu's visit to the Soviet Union this time, and also served as his interpreter after he arrived in Sulian.

Rutherford must be very reluctant to leave two of his favorite good students in the laboratory.

Kapitsa goes back to China every summer to visit relatives, which seems to have become a rhythmic behavior of animals, and everyone in the Cavendish laboratory has long been accustomed to it.

The reason given by Chen Muwu was the same. He also wanted to return to China to visit relatives, but he was just passing by Su Lian.

There is nothing wrong with this reason, and it would be very unreasonable to refuse.

Rutherford could only comfort himself in his heart. This was much better than Chen Muwu leaving Cambridge University in a fit of anger. Just leave for a few months.

This is the first step in Chen Muwu's journey home.

After a day and a night in Paris, De Broglie said goodbye to him here.

A few months ago, Chen Muwu said that taking advantage of the opportunity of Irena and Joliot's marriage, he invited Kapitsa, who was short of money because he was frugal to buy a car, to come to Paris together in the summer.

Now that the two of them have arrived here as promised, Chen Muwu is definitely not breaking his promise.

Although the travel expenses for this trip were all paid by the Sulian Academy of Sciences, not Chen Muwu, but in the final analysis, it was still paid by him.

Both of their lovers are in Paris, so it is rare to come here once, even if time is tight, there is no reason not to see each other.

Kapica went to see Anna, while Chen Muwu visited Madame Curie's house.

It doesn't matter whether it's a girl's [-]th change, or it doesn't matter if she grows older or more mature. Compared with a few years ago, Ive is more charming now, and her mind is also a bit more stable.

A few years ago, if I heard Chen Muwu say that he was going to Sulian, then Ave would definitely go to Madam Curie to act like a spoiled child, asking her to allow me to go with Dr. Chen, and take this opportunity to visit this emerging country some.

But now Ive chooses to stay. Although my sister and brother-in-law will get married in a few months, they still follow their mother to the Radium Research Institute to do research and experiments every day, and they don’t have much time to prepare for the wedding. .

Ai Fu consciously picked up the burden of helping them. In addition to sharing the family's worries, there is also her girlish thoughts behind it.

In a few years, she will get married soon, and this preparation for the wedding can be regarded as a rehearsal, to accumulate experience for her turn in the future.

After being sweet with Ive for a while, Mrs. Curie couldn't help but "beat the mandarin ducks" and temporarily separated the two sweet lovers, and called Chen Muwu to the sofa.

After the successful development of the generator, the teacher Rutherford was very embarrassing, it was a thesis, and it was news in the newspaper, and he wanted to announce this matter to the world.

The distance between Britain and France is not far away, and as a center of world physics, physicists all over the world are closely watching the various results made by Cavendish Laboratory.

At Christmas last year, Madame Curie heard about this matter from Chen Muwu who was visiting at that time.

He said that he was developing a machine at Cambridge University that could accelerate charged particles into high-energy particles, and said that after the development was successful, he would definitely send one to honor her elderly.

It seems that the machine Chen Muwu mentioned earlier should be the same machine as Rutherford's.

With such a good thing, who can not be tempted?
After Chen Muwu talked to Marie Curie before, she really seriously considered whether to leave France, where she had lived for many years, and go to Sweden to conduct research for the rest of her life.

Madame Curie called him to the sofa just to ask him about the outcome of this matter.

The big fool, Chen Muwu, knew that there was still such a thing waiting for him, and he did not hide it, telling the whole story about the development of generators and the problems encountered by the Cavendish Laboratory.

Hearing from Chen Muwu, as soon as the particle source is successfully produced, the high voltage generated by the generator can be used to accelerate protons to bombard various target elements. Madame Curie is very happy, and even her calm heart is faint. Some excitement.

For a long time, there is only one source of particles that can be found in the laboratory, and that is alpha particles.

Although there are three types of natural radioactivity, beta particles are electrons, and gamma particles are light, and these two particles have no effect on collisions with atomic nuclei.

Although alpha particles have already carried a certain amount of energy when they are emitted, sometimes their own energy is not enough. If you want to add an external electric field to add energy to them, you can't increase it much. .

Now that there is a machine that can accelerate charged particles, perhaps the future research on microphysics will undergo earth-shaking changes because of this machine.

Telling the whole story is telling the whole story, but Chen Muwu exaggerated a little in some places.

He told Mrs. Curie that after the machine is actually built, it will require a larger floor area and vertical space than previously designed on the blueprint, and it will also need to build an additional electrostatic shielding room to observe The operating status and experimental results of the particle accelerator.

However, Chen Muwu was quite conscientious, so he didn't boast that his small houses in Cambridgeshire were three or four stories high.

——This is much more conscientious than all the braised beef noodles that are based on the real thing. There are several large pieces of beef painted on the package, but the beef has been soaked for half a month and is not as big as a dice.

Because tomorrow morning, Chen Muwu will meet up with Kapiza, leave Paris and continue on his way to the northeast.

Therefore, Mrs. Curie was not too embarrassed to keep the prospective son-in-law until too late, and asked him about various matters in the Cavendish Laboratory.

After talking about the particle accelerator, she let Chen Muwu go to the guest room to rest.

However, Madame Curie was still somewhat skeptical about Chen Muwu's statement.

Hearing is believing, seeing is believing, according to what Chen Muwu said, when he returns from the east in two months, the proton source should be successfully developed, and the particle accelerator will be put into use.

Marie Curie was considering whether she should follow Chen Muwu to the Cavendish Laboratory when he was returning to Cambridge University via France to see if the big thing created by the New Zealanders was as miraculous as he boasted.

If it is really a big killer of particle physics research, and the Radium Institute of the University of Paris has no room to put it down, she really wants to study the matter of moving her family to Stockholm in the cold north.

Although the nearby Cambridge University also has a particle accelerator, it is under the fence, with many restrictions and inconveniences.

But going to Sweden is to help my son-in-law start a new business, which is completely different in nature.

Early the next morning, after bidding farewell to Madame Curie's family, Chen Muwu and Kapiza met again in front of the Paris train station, under the pole that Kapiza had once climbed.

The two boarded the train again to continue their trip to Sulian.

Chen Muwu agreed to Kapitsa's invitation and visited Sulian. On the one hand, he was waiting here for the Swedish Crown Prince and others who were continuing to move eastward.

On the one hand, I also want to recruit some good students in this big country of mathematics and science.

Of course, at this point in time, Sulian's education system has just been established, and it will definitely not be full of high-level talents who have received higher education training like it will be in another three to four fifty years.

Although the average level has not reached the corresponding height, it does not mean that there are no gifted students in that country.

At the end of last year, when Old Thomson invited Chen Muwu to give a class at Trinity College, he set his sights on Lev Landau who wrote a set of theoretical physics textbooks and tortured generations of Chinese students.

During this trip to Su Lian, the first person on Chen Muwu's list was this rebellious young man.

Landau once had a very famous saying, "The pretty girls are all married to others, and now only some not-so-beautiful girls are left."

The meaning of this sentence is not to say that he is a beauty advocate who only pays attention to the appearance and not to the inside.

He is using girls to make an analogy to physics. Pretty girls refer to various famous equations and basic theorems in quantum mechanics, while unbeautiful girls refer to the remaining corners and corners of quantum mechanics.

Landau was considered to be the same age as Heisenberg and Dirac, a generation of young quantum mechanics giants, only a few years younger than them.

But just a few years later, he missed all kinds of achievements. The predecessors developed the theorems and formulas named after them, but Landau could only learn these contents in university.

If he had just graduated from university, like Kapitsa, and left Sulian to travel to various Western European countries, he might be able to catch the tail end of the explosion of quantum mechanics.

However, Landau's application for studying abroad was blocked by Su Lian's foreign affairs department for several years before it was finally approved, leaving him with no chance to catch the last little tail.

Chen Muwu felt that since he was invited by Sulian Academy of Sciences, he could be regarded as a distinguished guest.

If it is proposed to take a gifted student who has hit it off during the lecture to go abroad, it should not be rejected.

He sincerely hopes that this time Landau can successfully marry a beautiful girl.

But he never expected that in the future, Lang Dao's famous saying would be changed to: "All pretty girls are married to Chen Muwu."

The question now is how to find Landau.

In Chen Muwu's impression, Landau should be from Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan.

But the train from Paris to Lejugrad will definitely not pass through the Transcaucasus.

On the train, besides writing out the lecture outline, Chen Muwu kept thinking about how to find this genius?

Whether it is directly calling the staff who received him by name, saying that he wants a young man named Landau from Baku, or saying that he is going to give a speech at Baku University by name, it seems inappropriate.

The former acted too predictable. Why did someone who had never been to Sulian and knew little about Sulian do such a thing?
Even if Chen Muwu is not targeted, Langdao's family will definitely have nothing to gain after he leaves Su Lian.

The latter is even more illogical.

Even if you leave Lezugrad and go to other places to give speeches, it should go to Moscow University in the capital of the Union, maybe you can be interviewed by state leaders, instead of going to remote Azerbaijan.

Chen Muwu could only hope that the newspapers in Sulian's country had already started reporting that he was going to visit Leugrad.

And Landau, a studious young man, just saw the news and decided to go north to meet him himself.

Because the gauges of the railways in various countries are not the same, at the border, they changed trains once while checking passports and visas to enter the customs.

After several days and nights of train journey, Chen Muwu and Kapitsa finally arrived at the train station in Lejugrad.

A few years ago, because Germany lost the First World War, it was resisted and blocked by all walks of life and all aspects of the world, and even normal academic exchanges were interrupted for a long time.

Whether it is the Solvay Conference, or the International Congress of Mathematicians, the Union of Astronomers, and the Congress of Philosophers, German scholars are all excluded by the conference organizers.

Under such circumstances at the time, Bohr was able to defy all opinions and visited and exchanged at the University of Göttingen from Copenhagen, Denmark, breaking the barriers that separated people, and was greatly welcomed in Germany.

During the few days when Bohr visited, the small town of Göttingen abruptly turned a normal academic visit into a grand festival.

The current blockade that Su Lian is under is no worse than that of Germany back then, and even worse.

Therefore, when Chen Muwu broke through many obstacles this time and arrived in Leugrad, he was also warmly welcomed by the local academic circles.
