Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 261 Unplanned meeting 209

Landau promised to be useful for studying abroad, but not much.

He still has a series of procedures to go through, and a bunch of formalities to go through.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, there are still two months left for Landau.

As long as he can complete all this before Chen Muwu returns via Sulian, if nothing happens, he will be able to follow him to Cambridge University in England and become the second in Kapitsa.

However, Chen Muwu only asked Professor Yue Fei for such a person by name in the backstage of the auditorium of the Sulian Academy of Sciences.

As for Gamow who wanted to leave Su Lian and see the world outside, he was not on Chen Muwu's list.

Without Chen Muwu in his previous life, he could rely on his strong desire to leave and try his best to leave this country that restricted his thinking.

Then let Gamow rely on his own abilities. Chen Muwu doesn't want to be like Langevin, wading through this muddy water and causing unnecessary trouble for himself.

After the last lecture in Lezhigrad, as expected, the physics colleagues from the Soviet Academy of Sciences asked Chen Muwu to give him a slap in the face.

During the dinner, everyone talked about various topics. Someone asked Chen Muwu where he thought the future of physics was.

This time, Chen Muwu did not mention the superconducting unreliable answer, but kept in mind the teachings of his teacher Kapitza, and advertised the particle accelerator he newly developed in the Cavendish Laboratory.

The future of physics is of course particle physics, and the University of Cambridge has developed a powerful tool for studying particle physics.

The professors and scholars of the Sulian Academy of Sciences were fooled by Chen Muwu and fell into a fog.

They didn't know why Chen Muwu uttered such a long series of words in one breath before he even touched a drop of alcohol.

Is he exaggerating, or is he sincerely speaking what is in his heart?
Some people think that they can't listen to his family's words, and it's better to send someone to Cambridge University to investigate.

After finishing the meal, Chen Muwu's time in Liejugrad also entered the countdown.

The time schedule for the Swedish crown prince's visit to China is very tight, and tonight is the last night for everyone to stay in Leugrad.

Tomorrow morning, everyone will take a special train from Lejugrad to Mosko, at the starting point of the Trans-Siberian Railway, and embark on a journey eastward.

In order to avoid delaying the trip tomorrow, Chen Muwu did not go to stay at Kapitsa's house today, but stayed in the hotel where the Crown Prince of Sweden stayed with Oppenheimer.

One day before, Kapica also expressed to Chen Muwu that he had been staying at his home for more than half a week anyway, and wanted to go to China with him for a walk and have a look around.

However, his wish was ruthlessly rejected by Chen Muwu.

This is not to say that Chen Muwu is stingy. He stayed at Kapitsa's house for more than half a week and spent his friend's money on food and clothing. In the end, when his friend wanted to hang out at his own house, he started to feel unhappy. profit.

It's just that the current domestic situation in China is complicated. Although Su Lian has established diplomatic relations with Beiyang, it has always flirted with the other side in the south.

Especially the Northeast King Zhang Marshal, who has been sitting in Fengtian, is now in charge of Beijing. The relationship between him and the Sulian people is even worse.

The Feng family has always flirted with me, who is at odds with the Sulian people, and the Northeast is connected to the Soviet Union, and there is another lifeline of the Northeast that is controlled by the Sulian, the Middle East Railway.

To Dashuai Zhang, the Sulian people were like a thorn in the flesh.

Recently, with the support of Su Lian, the South has divided its troops into several groups and made an all-out northern expedition. This has even touched Marshal Zhang's backlash.

When returning from Sulian, you must enter the country from the northeast, and then take the train along the Middle East Railway and Jingfeng Railway to Beijing or Tianyi, and then transfer to the Jinpu Railway to go south to Beijing and Qihai.

Along the way, it was either under the complete control of the Feng Faction, or it would pass through the battle zone of the Northern Expedition battlefield.

Although they are a high-standard diplomatic mission, if Kapitsa goes with them, his identity as a Sulian may be difficult.

Dashuai Zhang started to be ruthless and ignored him. With his own backing, he even dared to let his subordinates rush into the Sulian embassy in Dongjiaomin Lane to rob people. What is a small Kapitsa?
At that time, if Kapica was arrested in the name of Su Lian's spy, Chen Muwu would definitely have to deal with various parties and try his best to find him.

He didn't want to cause this trouble for himself, not to mention that Kapitsa followed him to China, and he didn't have much academic exchange to do.

The crown prince of Sweden is the eldest son of the royal family, and he traveled all the way here to visit mountains and rivers.

Chen Muwu came here with a mission. He had to take advantage of this opportunity to create a fairly fair selection mechanism for international students in China, and by the way, send his family to Europe in the name of attending his wedding.

It's just that when he thinks that the country should know that he is going back to China, many universities and bureaucrats will inevitably send out speeches and guest invitations, which gives him a headache.

Time was running out, and he was simply too busy. It would be better to push these invitations as soon as possible.

Kapitsa really didn't have much to visit and exchange in China, and Chen Muwu was distracted from arranging his itinerary, so he might as well stay in Sulian for a few more days, and then go back to Paris to meet his little girlfriend, Anna.

But why did Chen Muwu choose to bring Oppenheimer?
This is because Oppenheimer is a decent foreigner anyway, and he will definitely follow Chen Muwu every step of the way.

When the Crown Prince of Sweden arrives in China, there will be no shortage of various banquets, and
If there is any danger in the country, it is still very useful to have a foreigner by your side.

Everyone has black hair, black eyes and yellow skin, and Chen Muwu has no writing on his face. Although he is fat and light, no one will know who he is. Professors in it and stuff like that.

But Oppenheimer's appearance is self-explanatory, and one can tell that he is a foreigner.

It is obviously in one's own country, but in the end you have to rely on the foreigners who follow you to pretend to be a tiger, what a magical thing this is.

More than half a month of lecturing in Leugrad passed by in a hurry. After a night's rest, Chen Muwu and Oppenheimer followed the Swedish crown prince and his party and boarded a special train heading east to Mösko, the capital of Sulian.

In fact, the two of them don't need to be so anxious. After all, the Swedish crown prince has arrived in Moskow, and there are still a series of diplomatic activities waiting for him.

There is no reason why you don't even meet people face to face when you arrive in someone else's capital.

However, Chen Muwu has nothing to do when he is in Zugrad, so he might as well take a leisurely look at the city scenery of Mosco while others are running their schedules.

As for Oppenheimer, he just came to Lezhigrad and had not even visited the surrounding area...

Who told him he just arrived?

The railway line from Lejugrad to Mansk is nearly [-] kilometers.

Running on it at the speed of a steam train, even a special train with the highest operating level on the railway map, would take a full 24 hours a day and a night.

The train on the first morning, the next morning, the diplomatic train slowly entered the platform of the Moskow Railway Station.

On the platform next to the train, there was another welcome ceremony that had been prepared long ago. The military band, the guard of honor, the officials and relevant personnel from the Soviet Union, Switzerland, and China were waiting eagerly to welcome the distinguished guests after the carriage door opened. Walk down slowly from above.

In a group of blond and blue-eyed Nordics, a man of yellow race suddenly stepped down, Chen Muwu always felt a little nondescript.Fortunately, they didn't welcome me, and my role was dispensable. Chen Muwu simply talked to the staff in charge of the Swedish mission, and took Oppenheimer to wait in the carriage. After the welcome ceremony was over , the two of them quietly got off the train.

On the platform on the other side of the train, although there was temporary martial law due to the visit of distinguished guests, today's "Truth" newsprint was received and placed on the newsstand in the center of the platform before dawn.

Chen Muwu and Oppenheimer were stunned, and neither of them knew Russian, so neither of them could understand what was written in the newspaper.

Little did they know that the transcript of Chen Muwu's speech at the Lezhigrad Surian Academy of Sciences the day before yesterday had already arrived in Maskol ahead of them and was published in this national newspaper.

If Chen Muwu hadn't appeared, Timiryazev would still have put forward his critique of Einstein and the theory of relativity.

The knowledgeable people in the Sulian physics community will never sit back and wait for death, but will launch an academic counterattack against this fallacy.

Historically, it was Professor Joffe who blew the clarion call to fight back, and his rebuttal article, "Experiments Prove Einstein's Theory of Relativity is Correct", was also published in this "Truth" newsprint .

The time of publication also happened to be the New Year of 1927, January 1st.

In fact, no one is willing to take the lead, because as long as there is a debate in the first place, physics and politics will be related, and the nature of academic discussions will be changed.

Physics is a science based on experiments, not a philosophy based on rhetoric.

Moreover, there is a certain risk in standing out. Dimiryadev is a professor at Musko University, and Musko is the best place under the emperor's feet.

Who knows whether he attacked Einstein and the theory of relativity because he was mentally abnormal and suddenly became nervous, or he got the advice of an expert, and someone behind him instructed him to stand for him?
But Yofei had to take the lead because he was an academician of the Sulian Academy of Sciences and an expert and leader in domestic physics.

If the entire Sulian country criticizes the theory of relativity overwhelmingly, then colleagues in the country who study physics will never be able to hold their heads up in front of physicists all over the world.

Chen Muwu's lecture at the Surian Academy of Sciences pointed out Dimiryadev's naive idea of ​​taking the theory of relativity for granted, although it was very embarrassing.

But he also criticized this wrong theory at the same time, saying that foreign monks can chant scriptures, and if he is in the early stage, he just solved a big problem for Yuefei.

If Yue Fei could get his rebuttal article published in the newspaper on the first day of the new year, he would naturally have a way to send Chen Muwu's speech to the editorial department of the same newspaper.

As a result, Chen Muwu and the full text of his speech coincidentally appeared in Mosco on the same day.

As the author of the speech himself, Chen Muwu was completely unaware of the consequences of this matter.

After the welcome ceremony was over, he and Oppenheimer slowly walked out of the train carriage.

Time was running out, and the Crown Prince of Sweden and his party went to attend the interview and talks according to the scheduled itinerary.

And on the first day of their arrival in Moskow, Chen Muwu and Oppenheimer leisurely strolled around landmarks such as the Red Square and the Kremlin Palace.

Then at night, when the two returned to the hotel where they were staying, an unexpected appearance appeared.

Some Soviet staff with an interpreter had been waiting here for a long time. When they saw Chen Muwu entering the hotel, they quickly got up and walked forward.

After a handshake and formulaic politeness, the other party stated the purpose of disturbing late at night.

Someone wanted to meet Chen Muwu who was passing through here on his way back home from vacation.

Time is limited, and the other party has a lot of opportunities, so this meeting is completely impromptu.

Therefore, I had to make a trip to my guest, Chen Muwu, and let him go to the designated place late at night to meet someone else.

Although he didn't know what to say after meeting, Chen Muwu felt that with the Swedish Crown Prince as a life-saving talisman, the other party could never harm him.

Let's see each other, and when the staff showed up at the hotel, the other party didn't come to discuss with him, it was just a notification.

So Chen Muwu unknowingly got into a car, unknowingly came to a place, and unknowingly saw a person.

Although the person on the opposite side didn't have a big beard and a pipe in his mouth, but judging by the grandeur of the office, it is estimated that the level should not be low.

After the meeting, Chen Muwu was even more taken aback by what the other party said straight to the point.

"Mr. Chen, do you think the theory of relativity is really materialism?"

Why did the content of my speech in Leograd the day before yesterday spread to Moscoe today.

How did he know that Jofei asked if it could be published in a newspaper, and this newspaper would be "Truth"?

Since this question was asked, the other party must have come prepared.

It would be okay for Chen Muwu to fool his colleagues in the Sulian Academy of Sciences who are also not high in philosophy, but if he still talks about philosophy on this occasion, he will probably show his timidity after a few words.

Then he might as well return to his old profession of physics and give the other party an example.

He asked for a pen and a few sheets of paper, and Chen Muwu began to write and draw on them.

He first used the calorific value of coal to calculate the heat that could be released by completely burning one ton of coal under normal conditions.

Then, using Einstein's mass-energy equation, it is calculated that less than one milligram of mass loss is needed, and the converted energy can be equivalent to the complete combustion of one ton of standard coal.

"Sir, I am currently at the University of Cambridge. The experiment I am doing is to verify whether the mass-energy equation is correct or not. If it is correct, then only such a negligible handful is needed to provide the energy equivalent to a ton of coal.

“Can this be considered a major benefit for a country that is in urgent need of construction?

"From this point of view, do you think whether it is the theory of relativity or quantum mechanics, is it idealistic or materialistic?"

Although it is very troublesome to convert mass into energy, and it will take at least ten years or even decades, Chen Muwu still draws a big cake under this situation, the purpose is to be able to convert energy into energy in the shortest possible time. People are bluffed.

The person opposite pondered for a while: "Dr. Chen, if this result is finally verified, then the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics are of course materialism! Out-and-out materialism!
"Dr. Chen, I have an unfeeling request. Can we send some scientists to Cambridge University to work with you on this research?"

Chen Muwu agreed very readily: "Of course there is no problem here, but the Cavendish Laboratory is not in charge of me, but Kapitsa, the director of the laboratory.

"Combined with the recent relationship between your country and the UK, which is not so normal because of the strike, I think this matter will probably be difficult to do.

"I'm really sorry, I'm a soft-spoken person, and I can't help you in this matter.

"However, I can take a student with me. I have found a very good seedling in the past half a month in Leugrad."
