Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 274 13 Blitz Germany from Poland

Before time travel, Chen Muwu had never entered a police station or police station.

After traveling through time, he never entered the government office or patrol room.

When he arrived in England, he was not even treated to afternoon tea by Scotland Yard detectives.

It can be seen that Chen Muwu has always been a five-star good citizen in the strict sense.

No one thought that he would dedicate his first experience of entering the game to Dabobo.

The staff at the Polish border office were quite friendly. They just locked Chen Muwu and Oppenheimer in a small dark room. They did not go any further and pressed them on the table with their faces close to each other like criminal suspects in TV dramas. desktop.

Oppenheimer, who made a big mistake because of his arrogance, wanted to explain to Chen Muwu his motives for doing so and apologize for his reckless behavior.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, the Polish soldier opposite, holding a gun, shouted loudly in Polish that no one could understand, and stopped Oppenheimer before he could even finish the first word.

It is understandable that he was afraid that Chen Muwu and Oppenheimer would collude with each other.

The two of them could only wait in that cramped little dark room for a long night until the Polish side found a translator who could understand and speak English and German.

It is probably impossible to expect the diplomats of the Republic of China and the United States in Poland to rescue these two people.

Not to mention that the two of them were at the Soviet-Polish border at the time, it would take time for the news to reach Warsaw, the capital of Poland.

It also takes time for diplomats stationed in Warsaw to receive the news after going to work and then rush from the capital to the border city of Stolbzy.

But the key to the problem is that the Beiyang government of the Republic of China has not yet established diplomatic relations with Poland, and there is no Republic of China embassy in Poland in Warsaw.

As a victor in World War I, the United States recognized and established an embassy in Poland as soon as it became independent, but the officials in the embassy had no time to care whether an American citizen lived or died in other countries.

Oppenheimer, who was issued a gag order, was worried on the side, but Chen Muwu, who "does nothing wrong and is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door," remained calm.

He even closed his eyes and rested for a while in this house, until the Polish side finally found a translator who could speak German.

It is recorded in the "Old Testament Genesis" that God created different languages ​​​​and characters for human beings in order to prevent them from only speaking the same language and building a tower that reaches straight to the sky.

Previously, two groups of people shouting and shouting at the Stolbuch Customs almost had their guns fired due to a language barrier.

After the translator Shanshan arrived, Chen Muwu explained the truth of the matter clearly in just a few words.

No matter whether he said that he was Chinese or that Oppenheimer was an American, not a Russian spy or a German spy, neither of these two statements achieved any effect.

But when Oppenheimer once again added Chen Muwu’s various titles and identities, especially his membership in a series of associations in the UK, the translator gradually realized that things seemed a bit big.

In the eyes of the current Poles, Germany in the west was a defeated country in World War I and was not terrible.

The newly formed Soviet Union was a defeated general who had to cede territory to pay compensation in the Soviet-Polish War, so it was not terrible.

It doesn't matter whether they offend the Germans or the Soviets, but they can't afford to offend the British and French.

Although a bloodless coup had just occurred in Poland at this time, Piłsudski, who had been hiding behind the scenes before, is still hiding behind the scenes, but has completely grasped the real power in Poland.

However, the foundation of Poland's founding, and the reason why they were able to gain independence after World War I, was based on the redistribution of the postwar order by the victors of the war, Britain and France, at the postwar Paris Peace Conference.

In order to weaken Germany's strength and suppress the emerging red power of the Soviet Union, they proposed the forcible restoration of Poland between the Soviet Union and Germany.

Britain and France have always been protectors of Poland. The opening of the European battlefield in World War II was also marked by Germany's blitzkrieg of Poland, followed by Britain and France's declaration of war on Germany.

——Although war was declared, no action was ever taken. The soldiers were just allowed to sit quietly on the French-German border for several months.

The series of titles Oppenheimer said about Chen Muwu made the editor suddenly realize the seriousness of this matter.

If what this American said is true, then these customs staff and Qiu Ba who are guarding the border may have offended a very important person.

When daybreak was about to break, this matter was reported to the authorities and finally attracted the attention of relevant Polish authorities.

Then there was the incident of Chen Muwu and Oppenheimer taking a car from the Soviet-Polish border to Warsaw, the capital of Poland.

Warsaw not only knew that Chen Muwu was a big shot from England like the German translator, they also knew Chen Muwu's name and his achievements in science.

So the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who contacted Chen Muwu repeatedly apologized for the unreasonable trouble he encountered during his trip, and said they were willing to compensate him for his losses and the cost of the delay caused by the delay.

As soon as the people from the diplomatic department left, staff from the education department came to visit again.

Although taking a train from Europe to the east to Osko, you will basically pass through Warsaw.

But among the world-renowned physicists like him who came to Warsaw with great fanfare - albeit passively - except for the earlier French-Polish Marie Curie, Chen Muwu was the only one left.

Although Warsaw was not in Chen Muwu's travel plan, and he did not come here for a special visit, people from the Polish Ministry of Education still approached Chen Muwu.

They invited him to visit the University of Warsaw and the Warsaw University of Technology in the capital. It would be great if he could give a temporary lecture or even stay and give lectures for a few days.

It's a pity that no one knows that there is an extra layer of kinship between Chen Muwu and Madame Curie.

If we knew about this relationship and played the emotional card seriously, maybe it would be possible to keep Chen Muwu in Warsaw for a few days...?

That is impossible.

Although Chen Muwu and Oppenheimer were trapped in Poland, the train they were supposed to take before still carried a lot of luggage they checked at the Osko Railway Station.

If there were no more accidents on the road, the train would have already arrived in Berlin, the capital of Germany. Their luggage should have been unloaded and placed in the luggage room, waiting for the owners to pick it up with their vouchers.

Although the items in those luggage did not seem to be that important compared to the carry-on luggage, they were all various valuable items, including many gifts that Oppenheimer spent a lot of money to buy in Sihai.Even if Chen Muwu had a soft ear and was persuaded to stay in Warsaw to give lectures, Oppenheimer would definitely not agree.

Until they boarded the new train from the platform of Warsaw Railway Station, the Polish escort was still saying sorry.

But those who arrived in Berlin earlier than Chen Muwu and Oppenheimer were not only the passengers on the same train and most of their luggage, but also the news that reporters sent back to Germany via telegraph from the Warsaw train station.

The evening tabloid of the Berliner Zeitung also regarded this as a news item and briefly talked about the unfair treatment Chen Muwu suffered in Poland. By the way, it also mentioned that Chen Muwu had left Warsaw on the evening train tonight. It is expected to arrive in Berlin by tomorrow morning.

As the newspaper with the largest circulation in Berlin, the capital of Germany, and surrounding areas, the Berliner Zeitung has a large number of readers, and its audience is also distributed in all walks of life.

In the physics community, there are also loyal readers who know it. Occasionally, the Berliner Zeitung will use the Berliner Zeitung as a place to speak out. Through reporters who are familiar with it, it can convey its stance on certain matters to the outside world, as well as the first things about itself. hand information.

After dinner, Einstein read such a piece of news in the "Berlin Affair" that had just arrived.

He did not laugh at the Polish customs department, as most readers did, for detaining an internationally renowned scientist because of their ignorance.

An elderly art student who had been banned from public speaking a few years ago even came up with a more radical idea.

He went from point to point, and from the attitude of Polish border personnel, he concluded that Poland as a whole was not good.

There is no need for this kind of country to appear on the map. It is better to merge into Germany and accept the transformation of the great Germanic nation.

I don’t know why, but Germans, or Germans with orthodox Germanic descent, have a pretty good impression of Chen Muwu.

Maybe it’s because they often see Einstein, a Jewish physicist, commenting and criticizing Chen Muwu in the Berliner Zeitung. He adheres to the principle that the enemy of his enemy is his friend, so they hold an attitude toward Chen Muwu, an Asian. Such an ambiguous attitude.

But it seemed that Einstein's words of praise for Chen Muwu were ignored by them. Everyone only liked to see Einstein's anger and incompetence.

But the cute Einstein was different. In his heart, he felt a little gratitude towards the Polish customs staff.

If they hadn't made a mistake in their work, detained Chen Muwu in Poland, and made the matter bigger and published it in the local newspaper, how could he have seen this news in the Berliner Affair?
Einstein knew that Chen Muwu had returned to China because he had read in the Berliner Zeitung a few months ago that Chen Muwu had given a report at the Soviet Academy of Sciences in Lezgrad.

At that time, Einstein did not think about why Chen Muwu's report talked about the theory of relativity, nor did he think about why he gave the report a strange name, which was connected to another unrelated thing. .

At that time, his mind was full of regrets. Since Chen Muwu went to Lezhigrad, whether he went directly to the seaport on the Baltic Sea coast, or went to the capital Osko first and then turned back, he would still have to take a train through Berlin.

If he had known about this a long time ago, instead of reading the newspaper and finding out that Chen Muwu had passed through Berlin, Einstein would have stopped the Chinese genius on the platform in Berlin and brought him to his home to discuss it for a few days. Question, let him go again.

I remember the last time two people met, it was the last time.

Einstein personally went to London, the capital of England, at the beginning of 1925 to receive the Copley Medal from the Royal Society, which did not require his own presence.

He went through so much trouble and traveled thousands of miles just to meet Chen Muwu and refute a series of fallacies he put forward in quantum physics in person.

Now, almost two years have passed since this meeting, and Einstein's state of mind has changed again.

In terms of force mechanics, although he still disagrees with this kind of agnosticism in his heart, before he can find a better refutation argument, he can only agree that the quantum mechanics proposed by Chen Muwu is consistent with the current experimental phenomenon. The best theory that fits the bill.

In addition, this year, Chen Muwu did something to slap Einstein in the face, which made one of his enemies Hilbert feel defeated and made him feel very relieved.

At this time, Einstein's attitude towards Chen Muwu returned to the time when the two of them had just met in early 1923.

This young man is a genius who often has flashes of inspiration, and he is someone with whom he can discuss physics problems.

The issues that Einstein wanted to discuss with Chen Muwu now were no longer meaningless debates about quantum mechanics, but based on the fact that when he returned from the sea in 1923 after completing his visit to East Asia, in February, he left Egypt at the northern end of the Suez Canal. After arriving in Hong Kong, he sent a paper titled "Zur affinen Feldtheorie. (Affine Field Theory)" to Planck in Berlin, Germany, and asked the editor-in-chief to publish it in the "Annals of Physics" on his behalf.

However, the splash caused by this paper was not big, because everyone's attention was attracted by Chen Muwu's paper on gamma ray scattering that was published together before.

From 1916, the second year after proposing the general theory of relativity, Einstein began to consider how to generalize the theory of universal gravitation.

The 1923 paper was his first attempt to unify the gravitational field and the electromagnetic field, and was also the pioneering work of unified field theory.

The relationship between Eddington and Einstein is by no means as simple as one proposing the general theory of relativity, and the other "confirming" the general theory of relativity with astronomical observations for the first time.

The affine theory used in this paper was first proposed by Eddington to Einstein in his letter.

So much so that Einstein did not hesitate to praise him, praising everyone as "Eddington is closer to the truth than Weyl."

Weyl was a student of Hilbert and a German mathematician who once put forward his own opinions on the matter of unified fields like Einstein.

But within two years, Einstein realized there was something wrong with the paper he published in 1923.

But he still has not given up the idea of ​​unifying the gravitational field and the electromagnetic field. If he can really find an equation to unify the field, then maybe he will surpass Maxwell, who unified electricity and magnetism, and become an even greater being.

Everyone admires their predecessors, but this does not mean that everyone is unwilling to surpass their predecessors.

Regarding the unified field theory, Einstein recently had new ideas. He regretted it very much. It would have been nice if he could have intercepted Chen Muwu from Sulian in Berlin and had a chat with him face to face.

However, as much as Einstein regretted it before, now he was so excited after seeing the news in the newspaper.

Although the trains on the railway line from Warsaw to Berlin were very busy, the reporter of the "Berliner Affair" in Warsaw even thoughtfully noted in the press release the time when Chen Muwu's train departed from the platform of Warsaw Station.

Before seeing this news, Einstein thought that his new ideas could only be sent to the UK by writing letters, and then it would take a week or more to wait for Chen Muwu's reply.

But now, he only needs to check the train timetable, find the time when this train arrives in Berlin, add half an hour, and make a reservation for the Deutsche Bahn delay according to the average length, and he will know when Chen Muwu will get off tomorrow. Then transfer from Berlin Station to Paris.

Next, what Einstein had to do was to rush to the platform of the Berlin train station before this time and intercept Chen Muwu there, thereby satisfying his previous wish to meet him but failed to realize it.
