Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 255 203 Arguing in the Classroom

After getting off the train, as soon as he walked onto the platform, Chen Muwu didn't notice any difference between the environment of the train station in Liejugrad and the train stations in other countries that he passed by these days.

He originally thought that the train station should be in the style of socialism full of Su Lian's aesthetics, so that he could have a little nostalgia for the past life that he couldn't go back here.

But now it seems that Lejugrad’s side may still be more like Europe, except for the pedestrians coming and going on the platform, all of them are speaking loudly in Russian that he doesn’t understand—fortunately, there is such a translator as Kapitsa .

However, after coming to Sulian, the black-haired and yellow-skinned man Chen Muwu attracted much less attention than when he was in Britain, France and Europe. Everyone might regard him as a Mongolian.

In addition, I have spent several days and nights on the train with no place to change clothes, and it is the hottest summer of the year. Whether it is Chen Muwu or Kapiza, the current clothes of the two Her dress was not as glamorous as when she first left Paris.

Kapitsa had sent a newspaper to the country a long time ago, informing them of the train schedule the two of them took and the expected arrival time in Lejugrad.

On the platform of the station, there was already a crowd waiting to welcome them, but no one recognized the two slobs who had just stepped off the train.

It was the sharp-eyed Kapitsa who recognized the teacher who raised money everywhere and sent him to Cavendish Laboratory to study abroad.

"Professor Joffe, Professor Joffe, we are here!"

Following the gaze direction of Kapitsa who was waving, Chen Muwu also saw a few figures standing motionless in the middle of the crowd coming and going on the platform.

In the crowd, he saw Professor Joffe whom he met three years ago at the Solvay Conference in Brussels, Belgium, and nodded to him with a smile.

After being called by Kapiza, Yue Fei and his group saw Chen Muwu, a distinguished guest who came from afar.

But as the party to welcome the guests, they didn't walk quickly, but still moved slowly in this direction at a leisurely pace.

This is not because people are coming and going on the platform and it is difficult to move, but because there is an elderly man with a cane in the welcoming line.

Seeing this situation, Chen Muwu and Kapica beside him said, "Peter, I think it's better for the two of us to take two steps forward."

Kapitsa nodded, agreeing with his good friend's point of view.

Walking to the front of the welcoming team, Chen Muwu began to stare.

Although it was not like when the head of state visited other countries to clean the streets, put red carpets on the road, and elementary school students presented flowers, the size of this welcome group was about [-] to [-] people, but Chen Muwu only knew one of them, Yue Fei.

Not to mention him, Kapitsa, who stayed in the UK all year round and only came back to visit relatives for a month every summer, would not be able to identify all these people.

So during the mutual introduction, a very strange situation appeared: Yue Fei first introduced the person to Kapitsa in Russian, and then he translated it into English and told Chen Muwu.

The introduction belongs to the introduction, but Chen Muwu didn't remember any of these names.

Generally speaking, Su Lian's physics hasn't started to flourish in this period of time, so it's normal for him not to know these people.

Inviting a world-renowned physicist like him to visit may be regarded as an attempt by the Sulian academic circle to improve the domestic physics level.

The old man Alexander Karpinski, surrounded by all the stars, is 79 years old this year, and he also came to the Lezugrad Railway Station to welcome Chen Muwu.

Born in 1847, he was the same age as the American inventor Edison. He was a geologist and had served as the president of the Russian Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg since the Tsarist Russia. After the change of dynasties, he continued to serve as the president of the Soviet Academy of Sciences.

Tsarist Russia has such a large land area, and Karpinsky is also a geologist. He has traveled all over the world and seen many places. From the Caucasus Mountains to the Kuril Islands, he has left his presence everywhere.

When he was young, he lived in the period when Tsarist Russia continued to expand and seize territory.

Of course, the target of the expansion is the Qing Dynasty, which is at the mercy of others.

Karpinski has met many people from the Far East in his life, including himself and people from the Qing Dynasty.

In his impression, the perception of the two kinds of people is similar.

However, with the development of time, the former seems to be getting stronger and stronger, while the latter seems to have not changed, but has become weaker.

Seeing Chen Muwu at the train station in Lezugrad today, Karpinski couldn't believe his eyes.

When did the Khitan people from the Qing Dynasty have such a strong self-confidence?

It has only been more than ten years since the overthrow of the imperial system. Isn't this temperament change in the Chinese people too obvious?
Could it be that overthrowing the imperial system is really useful? Karpinsky has already begun to imagine that in a few years, the majority of young people in Russia will be like Chen Muwu in front of him.

But what he didn't know was that it didn't take Chen Muwu more than ten years to cultivate this kind of self-confidence, but a full 100 years.

As soon as the old man got excited, he began to babble Russian one after another. The general content was to welcome Chen Muwu to Lezugrad and to the Sulian Academy of Sciences for an interview.

Not only was Chen Muwu who was welcomed in a daze, but even Kapiza, who was doing the translation in the middle, was a little dazed.

It is appropriate to welcome guests warmly, but is it somewhat abnormal for the dean to be so enthusiastic?
Yue Fei, who was on the side, felt that the dean could not be allowed to continue talking like this.

There were people coming and going on the platform of the Lezugrad railway station. Such a group of people would not only hinder the passage of passengers, but also talk loudly in a noisy environment.

Of course Kapitza's big voice essence, which he had learned from Rutherford, was not affected, but not everyone else.

Taking advantage of the time when the old dean finished speaking, Kapica finished translating, and Chen Muwu was about to speak but before he could speak, Yue Fei interrupted.

"Dr. Chen, Dean, academicians and professors, it's not convenient to continue talking here. We still have a lot of time. Why don't we go back to the Academy of Sciences and continue our communication?"

Everyone passed with almost no objection, so they walked out of the exit of the train station and boarded the cars that had been guarding here for a long time.

Chen Muwu was still sitting in the same car as Kapiza, the other cars were going back to Sulian Academy of Sciences, but theirs was going directly to Kapiza's local house.

Long-distance travel in summer without air conditioning, the clothes are full of sweat-soaked and dry, soaked and dry sour smell.

He had to take a shower and change his clothes before he could be a decent guest in the Sulian Academy of Sciences.

When arranging Chen Muwu's visit itinerary, the people from Sulian also asked Kapicha about his accommodation requirements for the trip.

However, Kapica's suggestion was to let Chen Muwu live with him at his home in Lejugrad.

After inquiring and knowing that Kapiza would not be troubled and disturbed, Chen Muwu agreed to his friend's invitation.

Unlike others who stay alone in the hotel and cannot understand Russian, it is better to go home with Kapitsa and find opportunities to visit the scenery of the city.

After taking a shower and changing into new clothes, the two of them went to the Sulian Academy of Sciences in the center of Lezugrad to attend the welcome banquet held for Chen Muwu here.

Although the sulian people's dinner ingredients are not as rich as the wealthy Trinity College, it may be because they are closer to the Far East. The taste of their cooking is very suitable for Chen Muwu's taste.

Having said that, I have to give the British a slap in the face. They can make such high-end meals so unpalatable, which is considered a kind of talent.

In addition to food, a table with Russians cannot be without wine.

Kapitsa is definitely not out of the top five in the list of the most drinkable people in the Eagle pub in Cambridge University.

But when he arrived in the mainland, he became a little dish on the wine table.

Chen Muwu, who doesn't drink, took a small look at everyone's drinking habits, but because he was a distinguished guest, no one could say much.

Alcoholic and courageous, as a nation that is good at singing and dancing, after drinking to the top, some young people in the Sulian Academy of Sciences began to perform their talents again.

Chen Muwu even saw that kind of "political commissar dance" squatting on the ground. Someone invited him to try it out, but Xiao Chen shook his head and refused again like refusing a toast.

He wanted to sing along with two voices, but the only song he could sing in empty Russian, "Katyusha," was still more than ten years away from being released.

The people of the fighting nation are so amazing. They were obviously drunk at the wine table, but after the dinner, some staff members found Chen Muwu and explained to him that during the next two weeks, he was Itinerary for Zugrad.

Every week at the Sulian Academy of Sciences, I will give a popular science speech for science lovers. The subject matter is not limited, and there are two speeches in total.

Then, for the rest of the time, in the morning, I will give lectures to the students of the Department of Physics at the University of Leograd, and the topics are also not limited.

In the afternoon, I would either have a seminar with teachers and professors, or I would accept the invitation of the organizer and visit various places in Lezhigrad city.

On the last day after Chen Muwu's visit, the Sulian Academy of Sciences will hold a ceremony to announce the acceptance of him as a foreign academician of the academy.

From the perspective of the Sulian Academy of Sciences, this last item is purely based on Chen Muwu's reputation to give them a scientific organization that is far behind their European counterparts.

In other words, conferring this honorary title on Chen Muwu is not the glory of Chen Muwu, but the glory of Sulian Academy of Sciences.

But in Chen Muwu's eyes, if he has the title of foreign academician of the Sulian Academy of Sciences, after returning to China, it will definitely be no problem to be a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences at the beginning of its establishment.

Of course, even if he doesn't have this title, it's okay to be a member of the academic department.

Question Xunzong, understand Xunzong, become Xunzong.

Coming to the future Xunzong's territory, Chen Muwu also suddenly unlocked his hobby of collecting.

He is now a fellow of the Royal Society, and is about to become a foreign academician of the Sulian Academy of Sciences. He will also be a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the future.

In addition, he will marry Ive in the future and become Mrs. Curie's son-in-law, so he should be a foreign academician of the French Academy of Sciences, right?

After arriving in Sweden, the number of academicians of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences will certainly not be able to escape.

Chen Muwu even wondered if he could be on the Nobel Prize jury, but there was probably no hope unless he could change his nationality to Swedish.

Apart from those who will be related to him in the future, the fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in Scotland should have no problem.

Oh, by the way, I almost forgot that there is also the Academia Sinica.

Let alone an academician, as long as Chen Muwu wants to give up academics and become an official and get rich, he may even get the dean.

After the evening banquet, Chen Muwu took Kapiza, who was already unconscious from drinking, back to Kapiza's home.

Miraculously, the next morning, this guy woke up earlier than Chen Muwu. Judging by his vivacious appearance, it didn't look like he just got hungover all night.

The first day's itinerary was to give lectures to the general public at the Sulian Academy of Sciences.

Chen Muwu's preparation was not sufficient, he even made the outline hastily on the train.

But this kind of lecture is not difficult for him, because he has given similar lectures many times in the UK and Sweden before, so he is very familiar with it.

The only thing to pay attention to is that those Chinese myths and legends should not be included in the lectures. After all, this is a materialistic country that does not believe in ghosts and gods. People who listen to the lectures are not as easy to fool as those superstitious British guys.

But on the second day, everything began to gradually deviate from the planned track.

According to the arrangement, Chen Muwu will enter the University of Leugrad today, give lectures to the students of the Department of Physics, and then meet with college students.

College students all over the world are the ones with the most hormones and the most energy.

The students at Cambridge University rowed, swam, played table tennis, dragged cars, and used the heat of the strike to do things.

The students of Leograd University also have energy that needs to be vented.

Chen Muwu and Kapitsa, as well as the accompanying staff from the physics department, walked to the classroom where today's class will be held, talking and laughing.

Before arriving at the destination, a loud quarrel was heard from the classroom in the corridor.

The staff members changed their countenance at that time, and wanted to come forward to stop these students who had humiliated the school in front of the guests.

Kapitsa smiled and said to Chen Muwu: "It sounds like they are arguing about whether your theory of the origin of the universe is correct or not."

Hearing what he said, Chen Muwu stopped the staff who were about to leave.

In normal academic debate, there is no need to make such an overreaction.

It’s normal that many people still don’t believe in the theory of universe expansion and don’t admit it.

Until the dramatic discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation, most of the world's doubts will be silenced.

Chen Muwu poked his head out curiously, and observed the situation inside through the glass of the classroom's back door.

He saw several people besieging a young man standing on a podium.

Although he couldn't understand Russian, from the expression on the young man's face, Chen Muwu felt that he was not afraid of everything in front of him at all.
