Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 283 Why is there one more 22?

Kapitsa's car had already been resold to Dirac, who had earned money by working at St. John's College. He spent a lot of money in love, but he couldn't scrape together enough money to buy a new car with superior performance. Come take part in wild drag racing on Cambridge University campus.

Therefore, Kapitsa has long returned to the stage of walking on the eleventh road like Chen Muwu.

Maybe Chen Muwu is a little more noble than Kapitsa now. After all, he still has a modified version of the same model as Eddington, which is parked in the courtyard of Trinity College and collects dust.

If they didn't meet any acquaintances at the Cambridge train station today, the three of them would probably take a carriage into the city.

Fortunately, Rutherford and Chadwick, who came to the train station to pick up the equipment, still came by car.

In order to transport the experimental equipment from the train station back to the Cavendish Laboratory, Chadwick still borrowed the same truck.

Fortunately, they came in a truck. If they had just taken a car, it would not have been able to fit the three of Kapitsa, Chen Muwu and Oppenheimer, let alone the people they had traveled along the way from China, Sulian, and Paris. Bring the luggage.

Chen Muwu then enjoyed another trip from Nankai University to Tianqi Station. After Rutherford and the others received the experimental equipment from another train later, he, Oppenheimer and Kapitsa were still at the station. On the bed of the truck, I held my luggage and followed the truck towards Cambridge University.

At Cambridge University in October, compared with the time when Chen Muwu left, the direction of the roads has not changed, and the appearance of the college buildings has not changed. It seems that apart from the cooler weather and shorter days, there are no other changes.

The only major change may be in the composition of the University of Cambridge.

A group of talented graduates have gone to fill the middle and upper classes in all walks of life across the UK, and a new class of students has arrived, which can be regarded as a new batch of fresh blood for the school.

Chen Muwu didn't have time to get to know the new students and colleagues in the laboratory, or to put his luggage back into Trinity College. He was pulled directly by the truck to the two rooms equipped with particle accelerators that were independent of the Cavendish Laboratory. in a house.

Alas, after returning from a business trip, I couldn’t even take a day off to adjust to the physical fatigue caused by the long journey.

I arrived in Berlin before, and as soon as I got off the bus, I was picked up by Einstein to discuss the unified theory.

Now that I'm back in Cambridge, I was sent to my work place as soon as I got off the bus. It seemed like I was about to get back to work without stopping.

Teacher Rutherford expressed his joy and satisfaction at Chen Muwu's timely return.

"Chen, I have always regretted that the things you made with your own hands did not allow you to catch up with this first experiment in person.

"Listen to Peter before you go. I feel like you guys should stay in France for a few more days after the wedding.

“Fortunately, fortunately, you made it back from Paris in time.

"Then I'll let you take charge of the rest."

Rutherford smiled and nodded at Kapitsa, who was standing beside Chen Muwu and looked unhappy.

According to the latter's original intention, he should really stay in Paris for a few more days after attending the wedding, so that he and his girlfriend Anna could be inseparable for a while longer.

In Kapitsa's impression, his best Chinese friend should be a person who is easy to talk to.

Moreover, his request was very reasonable. Of course he could stay with Anna for a few more days in Paris, but at the same time, couldn't Chen Muwu also meet with Eve for a few more days?

He left Europe for China, and was gone for more than two months. Shouldn't he have accumulated a lot of words during such a long time, and he would like to express his true feelings to his lover?
Kapitsa didn't know how many things Chen Muwu had saved up to say to Eve.

All he knew was that Chen Muwu, his good friend, seemed to be a different person after not seeing each other for more than two months.

He became completely opposite to the one in his memory. When he heard himself saying that the particle accelerator would be successfully assembled soon, before the first experiment was done, Chen Muwu was impatient to leave France and return to England.

No matter what Kapitsa said to stay in Paris for a few more days, Chen Muwu insisted on leaving.

Kapitsa, who is extremely poor, came to attend Irena's wedding this time, which was regarded as a business trip at official expense.

There is no theory that even Chen Muwu, a relative, returned to Cambridge and he still stayed in France.

So Kapitsa reluctantly had no choice but to return to England with Chen Muwu and Oppenheimer.

After getting off the train and returning to Cambridge University, Kapitsa once again complained about Chen Muwu who suddenly became unkind.

Chen Muwu ignored Kapitsa who had some hatred towards him and responded affirmatively to the task assigned by his teacher Rutherford.

He even secretly rejoiced that he came back in time. Otherwise, he might have been able to see the first experiment done on this particle accelerator, which was an experiment of bombarding a gaseous deuterium target with protons.

Although Rutherford said that he wanted Chen Muwu to continue to host the project, after leaving the Cavendish Laboratory for more than two months, the person involved had no idea where the project was now.

Having just returned to Cambridge University from the train station, Chen Muwu didn't even know where the part in the carriage with him should be installed on the accelerator.

Fortunately, Zhao Zhongyao and Cockcroft have been working diligently on accelerator development projects.

Chen Muwu had just returned to Cambridge and had not had time to say hello to them.

The two of them installed the parts by three, five, and two.

Chen Muwu carefully looked at this Chen-style generator and found that the only difference from before he left was that there was an extra track-like thing coming out of the spherical electrode, which used the potential difference to accelerate particles.

Onlookers watched Zhao Zhongyao and Cockcroft finish assembling the generator, and then turned it on to test the operating status, and there was no problem.

Chen Muwu was still stunned on the spot. Rutherford, who had turned around and was about to leave, turned around and called him again.

"Chen, since there is no problem with the particle accelerator, we have finished today's work. If you don't leave yet, what are you going to do here?"

Is this gone?

Didn't you just tell me that I would be solely responsible for conducting experiments here?
At first, Chen Muwu thought that as Rutherford was going through so much trouble today, he must have prepared all the preparations for the particle bombardment experiment. He only waited for the machine to be assembled and started up and run successfully before continuing the experiment without stopping.

Looking at the current situation, not to mention all the preparations, it is estimated that even the target metal to be bombarded is not ready yet.

Just because Rutherford valued this machine so much, when Chen Muwu himself was not in Cambridge, he was bound to take care of everything big and small.

Zhao Zhongyao and Cockcroft walked out of the room where the particle accelerator was placed, went to the preparation room and began to take off their electrostatic protective clothing, which also verified Chen Muwu's idea.

Now that today's mission is over, he, who has just returned to Cambridge University, is happy and at ease, and he says calmly: "Oh, oh, I want to say a few words to them. I'll leave now."

Judging from the meaning, Rutherford wanted to talk to him about what happened during his absence on the way back to the Cavendish Laboratory.Although he also wanted to chat with Zhao Zhongyao and Cockcroft, Rutherford's priority was definitely higher than the two people who started the motor.

Chen Muwu had no choice but to find another opportunity in the future to ask them about the progress of the project.

He also had many questions that he wanted to ask his teacher.

So before Rutherford could speak, Chen Muwu, who was following behind, asked the first question.

"Teacher, I introduced a few students to Cambridge University this time. How are they doing now? Did they pass the exam and successfully enroll, or...?"

Of course this was what he cared about the most.

Although when he was in China, he swore with Rao Yutai and Ye Qisun that if they introduced students to him, he would arrange a good school for them in the UK.

Rutherford had also promised himself long ago that as long as the students introduced by Chen Muwu could pass the Cambridge University entrance examination, they would be treated equally and there would be no reason to refuse admission due to discrimination or other reasons.

However, this moment, that moment.

Back then, Chen Muwu was very popular at Cambridge University, but now, although not everyone is shouting about him, there are still many people who don't like him.

Because of the strike and the fact that he was on the opposite side with the school's supervisor, Belfort is still thinking about how to get Chen Muwu out of Cambridge University.

Although there was such a big commotion just now, on the surface, this matter is not easy to achieve.

However, Belfort was always thinking hard about other methods.

He has been Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary.

Although he is now relegated to the second line, Belfort can be considered a political family after all. If he wants to find connections, there are still a lot of connections waiting for him.

If Chen Muwu is not allowed to return to the UK, wouldn't he naturally not be able to return to Cambridge?
This move, this move is called defending the enemy from outside the country!
Chen Muwu was afraid that the group of people headed by Belfort would make a fuss about the freshmen he had found, so as soon as he had some free time, he couldn't wait to ask Rutherford whether they would enroll.

If you are unable to enroll in school for various reasons, you must find a solution as soon as possible.

Rutherford also promised at the same time that if they could not enter Cambridge University, he would introduce them to Victoria University in Manchester.

Similarly, as long as you can pass the entrance exam, you can enter the University of Victoria.

"Don't worry, of course there is nothing wrong with the person you introduced.

"It's just that, except for the Russian who came with Peter, whose academic level can directly study for a doctorate, it seems that the level of others is still a little worse.

“This fellow countryman of Peter looks completely different from him.

"The young man named Landau has many novel ideas in his mind, but he just feels that his practical ability is a little bit poor.

"So I put him under Paul, who just got a teaching position at St. John's this year and didn't have any students, so you sent him the first one.

"I hope this new guy can slightly improve your good friend's reticence."

Unexpectedly, Rutherford actually assigned Landau to Dirac.

"As for the remaining four people, I will arrange for them to start their undergraduate studies first. If they are interested, they can also come to the laboratory to visit and intern. You don't have any objections, do you Chen?"

Rutherford is experienced enough in arranging students, and he is considerate enough.

Chen Muwu also thinks so. Wu Dayou, Chen Shengshen and Wang Ganchang were either sophomores or freshmen when they were studying at Nankai University and Tsinghua University. The level of physics of these three people would be so great if they started directly from PhD studies when they came to Cambridge. unusual.

If that's the case, doesn't it mean that China's education level far exceeds that of Europe and the United States, and is a freshman at Nankai University equivalent to a PhD at Cambridge?

This is a conversion method that can only exist on Xiaohongshu!
Wait, wait!
How many people did Rutherford just say?

four?

It is true that Chen Muwu recruited four students to Cambridge University during this trip back to his hometown, but apart from Landau, who is already studying for a PhD at Cambridge University, there are only three people left?
Where did the fourth student come from?

Chen Muwu's first reaction was that something was wrong with Su Lian.

Landau came to the UK with Kapitsa, and Su Lian also expressed to Chen Muwu the idea of ​​sending students to Cambridge University to work on the mass-energy equation with Chen Muwu.

Could it be that under the banner of Chen Muwu, they not only sent Landau, but also others?
If there was such a thing, Kapitsa should have told himself about it when he was in Paris, right?
If the problem was not caused by Su Lian, then there is another possibility that someone sent an extra student from China to the UK with his own handwritten letter.

In the handwritten letter he wrote to Shi Ruwei at Nankai University, only Wu Dayou and Chen Shengshen were identified in the letter.

Later, Wang Ganchang visited his home in Jihai. Chen Muwu added another letter and asked him to take this letter to Tianyi to meet the other two people.

If someone with ulterior motives added an extra person's name to his two autographed letters, Shi Ruwei might not be able to tell.

But when he thought about it, Chen Muwu felt that this was even more outrageous.

Sooner or later, they have to return to Cambridge University. If they do this, aren't they afraid that one day they will be exposed?

Moreover, who among the three people invited by Chen Muwu would not cherish such a precious opportunity to study in the UK?

Rutherford also said just now that everyone passed the Cambridge University entrance examination, which means that the extra fourth person is not an ignorant person.

Although he was introduced by himself, Rutherford would not lower the admission standards because of this, he would just give others a chance to take the entrance exam.

It seems that this person can get into Cambridge University without using his own handwritten letter or engaging in these crooked ways.

But who is he?

Chen Muwu thought hard and couldn't figure out this problem.
