Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 284 23 Oppenheimer, the one who knows me

Although Chen Muwu's brain was spinning rapidly, even after he had left the particle accelerator laboratory and arrived at the parking lot where the truck was parked, he still could not figure out whether the extra fourth person or the fifth person was there. Where does it come from, no matter the individual?

The reason why the truck hadn't left after delivering the parts from the train station to the laboratory was because in addition to the parts, it also contained luggage that Chen Muwu had accumulated when he returned from the East and passed through various countries.

Oppenheimer stayed next to the truck and looked at the luggage on it. He didn't even go further inside the laboratory door.

According to Rutherford's wishes, he, Chadwick, and Kapitsa could just walk directly back to the Cavendish Laboratory from here, and let the truck take Chen Muwu and Oppenheimer back to Trinity College to put their luggage.

But after hearing his teacher express his thoughts, Chen Muwu put forward different opinions.

"Teacher, there is a gift from me in this car. Why don't I send it to your home first, and then I can go back to Trinity College."

"Chen, you came back from so far away from China. It's rare that you still have me in your heart. Just give me the gift and I'll take it back. Why bother with the truck again?"

"Um...Teacher, I'm afraid it's not easy for you to take this thing."

Porcelain is inherently fragile, and the large blue and white plate customized by Chen Muwu is not used for serving rice and dishes, but is used as a decoration. The size will definitely be much larger than ordinary plates.

Chen Muwu felt that he could not describe it with words alone, nor could he convince Rutherford to believe in him.

Although the teacher is old, he always relies on his physical strength and his natural unwillingness to admit defeat. He always wants to compete with the young man in everything.

So he simply dug out the two large blue and white plates from his luggage, stood outside the door of the laboratory, and showed them to Rutherford in front of everyone.

The pair of large blue and white plates given to Rutherford are exactly the same size as the pair given to Marie Curie in Paris, and the patterns drawn on the plates are basically the same.

I say they are basically the same, because there are still a few differences.

Marie Curie's greatest achievement in her life was the discovery of element 84, polonium, and element 88, radium.

At this time, neutrons have not yet been discovered, and people do not know what the atomic nucleus should look like or how several protons are arranged in it.

Of course Chen Muwu could use two different colors to represent protons and neutrons, but that would make it unclear.

People who visit the Marie Curie Memorial Hall a few years later will definitely regard him as a prophet when they examine this period of history.

——Although he is.

So for the atomic nucleus, Chen Muwu could only mistakenly draw a sphere first, and then mark it with Po or Ra inside.

That's why Marie Curie, who received the gift, praised Chen Muwu for her thoughtful preparations, and actually combined the two most important discoveries in her life with traditional Chinese but beautiful porcelain.

However, the two elements polonium and radium are the achievements of Marie Curie and have little to do with Chen Muwu's teacher Rutherford.

And although Rutherford and Marie Curie have laughed off their grudges as they grew older, they have always maintained a competitive relationship when they were young.

If Rutherford hadn't been disliked because he was a New Zealander, he would have been sent to the barbaric lands of North America after graduating from Cambridge University.

Due to inconvenient transportation, his paper was published a few days later than the Curies' paper after it was sent to the UK. Maybe the history of modern physics will be rewritten on a small scale to a certain extent.

If the plate given to Rutherford was marked with polonium and radium, Chen Muwu was afraid that the teacher would think too much about it.

It seems that Chen's purpose was to customize plates for Marie Curie. The pair he gave to himself were just a pair of rich people!
Alas, no matter how good the students are, what’s the use?

In the end, when someone else's beautiful daughter curls her fingers, isn't he just like a Yorkshire terrier, wagging his tail, sticking out his tongue, and following others obediently?
Poor Chen Muwu was toyed with by him like this.

In order to prevent Rutherford from sighing like the above after getting the plate.

When Chen Muwu customized this set of blue and white plates for his teacher, he deliberately removed the element numbers and symbols of polonium and radium from the pattern. He only retained a solid atomic nucleus and electrons surrounding it like planets in the solar system.

There is no way, no matter who calls him Chen Muwu, he is so considerate.

After seeing the gift his good student brought him from China, Rutherford instantly showed his unabashed affection.

While he was being polite, he said why it was necessary to bring something so valuable and difficult to transport from China, but he kept his hand on the plate and touched every corner inside and outside.

To use an idiom, Rutherford showed others with a personal example what it means to be unable to put it down.

It was now impossible for Rutherford to walk back to Cavendish Laboratory as originally planned.

So everyone made changes according to Chen Muwu's suggestion. They sent the gifts back to Rutherford's house first, and then let the truck pull Chen Muwu and Oppenheimer to settle down and pack their things.

In fact, a large part of their luggage was gifts brought by the two of them to their friends and colleagues in the Cavendish Laboratory.

It’s okay to let Chadwick take it directly to the laboratory, but it’s the last step, why not personally give away the gift that he brought back from all the way?

The truck finally stopped at the entrance of Trinity College. Chen Muwu, Kapitsa and Oppenheimer got out of the truck. The dean of the college also ran out and followed them to move things out of the truck.

After the things were moved and the truck left with Chadwick, Chen Muwu finally told the two people around him the question that had been pressing in his heart for a long time.

"Robert, when I return to China this time, will I only accept three students in the country?"

"That's right. Is there any problem, Dr. Chen?"

After hearing that the answer was correct, Chen Muwu did not respond to him for the time being, and asked Kapitsa again, who still held a grudge against him.

"Peter, how many students came to Cambridge University from Sulian with you?"

"Isn't there just one Baku man, Lev Landau? Do you mean that you found other people, but I forgot to bring them back? It's inexplicable!"

"It's strange. I also remember that only four students were admitted to Cambridge University, but why did the teacher just tell me that a total of five students were admitted this year? Peter, do you know what's going on?"

"Don't you have another student recruited from India? Why can you still have a relationship with an Indian when you return to China this time?"

Kapitsa, like Chen Muwu, had a puzzled expression on his face.

Hearing his question, Chen Muwu suddenly felt that the dead memory was attacking him.

Indian.

University of Cambridge.Newly admitted students.

When these three conditions were added together to get the intersection, he immediately thought of an Indian with a turban on his head, Raman, whom he had seen in the Cavendish Laboratory.

The year Einstein went to the Royal Society in London to receive the Copley Medal, Raman, who had just been elected as a fellow of the society, also traveled across the ocean from India to the United Kingdom.

He witnessed the debate between Einstein and Chen Muwu at the society meeting. After the meeting, he went north from London to Cambridge to visit the famous Cavendish Laboratory.

The reasons that attracted Raman to the University of Cambridge were that, firstly, the Cavendish Laboratory was so famous, and secondly, that Chen Muwu was one step ahead of him and did the visible light scattering experiment.

After visiting the Cavendish Laboratory, Raman’s first feeling was that it was nothing more than appearances.

Judging from the age, this building seems to have been built a long time ago, and the age of the experimental equipment inside should be similar to the age of the building.

Where Chen Muwu did his visible light refraction experiments, the experimental equipment used was not even as good as the average level of the entire laboratory.

With the funding provided to the laboratory by the Department of Physics of the University of Calcutta, it is possible to assemble better experimental equipment than Chen Muwu's Cavendish Laboratory.

In this crude experimental environment, Chen Muwu was actually able to complete the experiment and produce results before him.

Raman felt that this incident did not mean that the physics department of Cambridge University was too strong, but that it only meant that Chen Muwu himself was far stronger than his peers.

That's why Raman decided to take advantage of his relationship and find a way out for his nephew Chandrasekhar at Cambridge University.

After visiting Chen Muwu's laboratory that day, Raman said countless flattering words to Chen Muwu.

It is said that Chen Muwu is the pride of Asians. We are all Asians and should support each other.

At the end of the conversation, he came up with a plan and said that he had a nephew named Chandrasekhar and asked Chen Muwu if he could help him when his nephew came to study at Cambridge University.

Although Chen Muwu was a little helpless, he was still willing to do such an adult and beautiful thing.

Because just as he was familiar with the name Raman, Chen Muwu was also familiar with Chandrasekhar.

With or without him, this Indian-born Nobel Prize winner will eventually come to Cambridge University.

Then why not give Raman a favor?

Anyway, the result of the meeting that day was that the guest and host had a great time. Chen Muwu kept talking and laughing as he sent Raman out of the door of the Cavendish Laboratory.

That day was also the best day for the relationship between Chen Muwu and Laman. From then on, the more he thought about it, the more wrong he felt.

An Indian, especially a high-caste Indian, will never psychologically identify as Asian.

It can only be said that Daying's enslavement work was done so well that all the people in India miss me, Daying.

The upper classes in India were successfully brainwashed and awakened their Aryan blood, thinking that they were also British from beginning to end.

It wasn't until 100 years later, when Ah Sanyi finally took over No. [-] Downing Street, that the Indian Li Daitaojiang's plan finally took the first step.

In front of Chen Muwu, Raman talked about us Asians. To put it bluntly, he wanted to use this geopolitical theory to bring the two of them closer and pave the way for his future requests.

Now that I have figured this out, the doubts I had just in front of the particle accelerator laboratory were just a false alarm.

From a basic point of view, Chandrasekhar can also be regarded as a student recruited by Chen Muwu.

Moreover, he has passed the Cambridge University examination, which means that his ability is enough to go to Cambridge and will not have a negative impact on Chen Muwu's ability to recognize people.

But, but, there still seems to be something wrong.

In Chen Muwu's memory, Chandrasekhar seemed to be born in the 10s. People of his age would have to wait until around 1930 to go to college.

Why is it that in 1926, a small amount of money has come all the way from India to England?

Isn’t this also the butterfly effect brought about by myself?
Alas, let’s not forget all that. All the luggage has been unloaded from the back of the truck. The most urgent thing to do is to consider what to do with the luggage now.

"Chen, the pair of big plates you gave to the crocodile are so beautiful. They must have cost a lot of money to draw, right? And why did the ancient Chinese know about the heliocentric theory and draw them on the plates? It's amazing!"

Chen Muwu felt that Kapitsa might have misunderstood something.

In ancient times, the Chinese people always paid attention to the round sky and the square place. The heliocentric theory should have been introduced into the country after missionaries came to China on a large scale during the Kangxi and Qianlong dynasties.

But Kapitsa's misunderstanding also illustrates another thing, that is, foreigners like them really can't tell whether what Chen Muwu sent was a well-preserved antique or a newly fired antique that was less than two or three months old. New.

That's enough.

"Peter, what is painted on it is not the heliocentric theory, but the atomic nucleus model of the solar system that the teacher once proposed. This is not an antique, but was specially fired in the ceramic kiln I found after returning home. Oh, by the way, also I brought you a gift."

Chen Muwu picked through the pile of luggage and found a large bag of tea.

In addition to the United Kingdom and Ireland, Russia is also the hardest hit area for tea consumption because of its proximity to China and the habits it learned when working as a tax collector for the nomadic Mongols.

This means that Chen Muwu no longer has to spend too much time preparing gifts. As long as he is a teacher at Cambridge University and a good friend he has made, he can just give each person a piece of tea.

What did you say?Don't drink tea?
This is England, if you don't drink tea, get out of here!
In addition to Chen Muwu, Oppenheimer also rummaged through his luggage and found his gifts.

Chen Muwu's good friend is his Robert's good friend. Oppenheimer has always adhered to this principle.

"Mr. Kapitsa, I also have a gift for you."

Kapitsa's eyes began to shine as he looked at the shape of the gift in Oppenheimer's hand.

"Chen, although your academic level is first-rate, I have to criticize you. Your gift-giving skills are really not as good as Mr. Oppenheimer. It is true that we Russians love to drink tea, but what do we like to drink more? , don’t you really know?
"By the way, I suddenly remembered another thing. At the beginning of next year, the Italians will suddenly hold a conference of physicists. Will you go?
"You should be going, right? Because you were not there when the invitation was sent, and the other party not only invited you by name to attend, but also kept urging you to come. So I took over for you and agreed to their invitation.

"Anyway, the other party will reimburse the travel expenses for the whole trip, so shouldn't it be treated as a public trip?
"And Italy is right next to France, so you can still take Eve with you."
