Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 294 33 The writer who ran away from home

It was said that he was raising an army to investigate the crime, but it was just Chen Muwu who wanted to vent the resentment he had held in his heart.

After meeting the Duke of York at his official residence in London, he still showed basic courtesy.

Although he was angry with him now, he might ask others for help in the future. Chen Muwu would never do such a thing indiscriminately and offend others first.

The seat belt was invented just in time for the strike in May.

At that time, Kapitsa was clamoring to change his car to participate in the drag racing competition at Cambridge University. The Duke of York also sent people to Trinity College to convey to Chen Muwu his actions in support of the strike, which made Buckingham Palace and No. 11 Downing Street dissatisfied.

Then Chen Muwu took the opportunity to go to London alone to attend a meeting. At the Duke of York's private dinner, he proposed to give the invention of the seat belt to the newly born little princess.

Not long after the Duke of York's dinner, Chen Muwu started his journey back home before Rolls-Royce sent someone to contact him.

So it is very possible that the Duke of York forgot about this and did not notify Rolls-Royce.

There is another situation, that is, the other party really wanted to find him and meet him, but because he left the UK, he put the matter on hold for the time being.

Chen Muwu always thinks well of others, but the capitalists are not as kind-hearted as he imagined.

After meeting with the Duke of York, Chen Muwu first reported to the big investor in the Cavendish Laboratory that the particle accelerator was successfully constructed and that the machine had been used to complete the experimental verification of Einstein's mass-energy equation.

In order to show the importance of this experiment, Chen Muwu also described in detail that this was the first successful experiment in more than [-] years after Einstein proposed his theory.

Although the Duke of York's investment is a donation, Cavendish Laboratory is not a profitable company and will not pay dividends.

But the big benefactors must see the results and see that the money they donated willingly or unwillingly, every shilling and every penny was spent wisely.

Only in this way can they be more cheerful and generous in their future donations.

After reporting the results, Chen Muwu began to make subtle insinuations.

He first mentioned the little princess that the second prince's family welcomed this year. He originally wanted to talk about the seat belt with a few polite words, but the Duke of York, a new father, took it seriously and talked about his own child. In an instant, there were endless topics to talk about.

Chen Muwu didn't have that much time to listen to a father praising his daughter. He finally found a gap in the Duke of York's words and quickly inserted his question.

"Your Highness, the gift I gave to the little princess, the Elizabeth seat belt, is there any follow-up progress?"

When it comes to the name Elizabeth, Chen Muwu always feels a little funny.

Because he remembered that after the surgery on cats and dogs at the pet hospital, the little animals also had a trumpet-shaped ring around their necks. That thing was called the Elizabeth ring.

There is a connection between the two Elizabeths, but not much.

The circle of shame for cats and dogs comes from the shape of the collar worn by noble upper-class women in Elizabethan times when attending social occasions.

Elizabeth I was the Queen of England during the Tudor Dynasty. Apart from the same name, there was no blood or other connection between her and the future one.

"Chen," the Duke of York showed a very embarrassed expression on his face, "this matter, uh, how should I put it... I'm sorry, there is nothing I can do."

"why?"

"Because of the unpleasant incident in May, you now have a bad reputation among factory owners across the UK.

"But this is not the main reason. I met with the person in charge of Rolls-Royce not long ago, and I once mentioned to them the issue of safety measures in the car.

"But when I took out the seat belt ratchet you designed for Lilibai and explained its purpose to the other party, they were really not interested in this kind of device installed in the car.

“They invited me to visit the R&D laboratory at the Rolls-Royce factory. They are indeed thinking about car safety issues, but they are not protecting the driver, but pedestrians who suddenly appear in front of the car.

"Some cars are equipped with a shovel-like device in front of the hood. After hitting a pedestrian, it will shovel the pedestrian onto the shovel to prevent the car from crushing the pedestrian and causing secondary injuries to the person."

Okay, okay, this is called a pearl cast in the dark, it is called having eyes but not seeing the mountain.

Chen Muwu had only seen the design of the car anti-collision shovel in black and white videos. It has been eliminated in the long river of history for more than 100 years.

However, seat belts have passed the test of history and become the standard configuration of every car before leaving the factory.

Since Rolls-Royce is not willing to be the first to eat crabs, there is no point in continuing to struggle.

They are not the only car company in the world. Doesn’t Sweden also have a car company with the highest safety performance in the world?
Seat belts are perfect for safety.

However, it seems that I have never heard any news about Volvo. Chen Muwu went to Stockholm to receive the award, and the vehicles used by the Swedish Crown Prince to greet him were all British cars.

Is it possible that Volvo hasn’t appeared yet?Chen Muwu suddenly had a bold idea.

If there really is no Volvo in the world, then he can trick the Wallenberg family into investing in and building a factory to help develop the Swedish automobile industry.

Let’s not call the factory something like Volvo, which is derived from Latin. Since the Crown Prince of Sweden likes Chinese culture, why not just choose two words from the blessing words “good luck and success” and call it “geely”. One step at a time.

Chen Muwu's mind was filled with this somewhat evil idea, and he completely forgot about the environment he was in now.

"Chen Chen?"

"Ah, Your Highness the Duke, I'm sorry that I was thinking about something in my head just now and I was a little distracted. I'm really sorry. What's wrong? Tell me."

"I have another thing to ask you. In the newspaper a few days ago, you seemed to have had some interactions with oil companies."

This second prince is really considerate. He came to London to talk to him about this matter, but before he even started, the other party had already mentioned it.

"Well, yes, that is indeed the case."

"What I want to ask you is, why are you looking for oil companies? Do you really want to find oil, or are you saying that the funds for the Cambridge University laboratory are insufficient and you want to get some money from those oil tycoons? "

This……

Xiao Chen felt as if he had been glanced at through the crack of the door. Is this the image he had in the Duke of York's mind?
Gentlemen love fortune, in a proper way.

Although the Cavendish Laboratory is short of money, although the Cavendish Laboratory is always short of money, when has Chen Muwu ever done such a thing to cheat money?

Except for deceiving the Duke of York into making free donations, every sponsorship fund he obtained for the Cavendish Laboratory and David Faraday Laboratory, which one was not obtained through his own transfer of profits?

Fortunately, he still regards the Duke of York as a good brother. In the eyes of this good brother, is this how he sees himself?

"It's not a matter of lack of money, it's just that I think there is a certain potential in finding oil that way, so I thought about whether I could match up with the oil company and let me be in the situation. Give it a try. "In the current situation, both Anglo-Persian and Royal Shell are unwilling to provide me with opportunities for cooperation, and I am unwilling to get in touch with the United States. It seems that my idea will most likely fail. "

Chen Muwu had a regretful expression on his face, but the Duke of York turned a blind eye.

His response was not to help him find a solution, but to advise Chen Muwu to focus on academic research and not think about those dreams of getting rich.

If you don't have enough money, go to him. Don't affect the reputation of Cambridge University just for a few extraneous things.

Hearing such a statement made Chen Muwu realize one thing, that is, maybe people all over the world, from the bosses of several oil companies, to Pauli, Einstein, and today's Duke of York, all Not too optimistic that he will find oil.

His oil exploration trip was probably going to be a disaster, and he would not be able to get any sponsorship funds.Is it possible that Cheng Cheng really wants to take Wegener to survey and drill the well at his own expense?
I originally prepared two things, but when I came to the Duke of York, I couldn't do anything.

This was the most fruitless time he had been in contact with him for so long, and he had not gotten any benefits at all.

He left the Duke of York's official residence and returned to his station in London.

That night, Chen Muwu began to write a letter to the Swedish Crown Prince and Marcus Jr., detailing his plan to start the Swedish automobile industry.

It is not appropriate to say that it was founded. The Swedish Scania company had already started manufacturing trucks, and what it wanted to start was just a car industry.

If Geely, which started late, wants to be the first to arrive, it cannot blindly copy Ford and Rolls-Royce. It must come up with something new to attract attention and seize the market.

Every car that leaves the factory is equipped with seat belts. On the one hand, safety is the main focus. On the other hand, Chen Muwu thinks that he can also start from the appearance of the car and produce the streamlined Beetle in advance.

Maybe in the future, Geely Beetles will be approved by German leaders whose aesthetics are similar to their own to import them in large quantities, or they may simply establish a production line in Germany and form a Swiss-German joint venture.

Chen Muwu became more and more excited as he wrote this plan. His self-confidence, which had just been suppressed by the Duke of York in oil during the day, was rekindled in automobiles late at night.

On December 12, with the participation of Chen Muwu, an Asian, the first World Table Tennis Championships, upgraded from the European Championships, kicked off on time at the Swaythlin Library in London.

This library was also funded and built by Lady Swaythling, the mother of the first ITTF President Montagu, for charitable purposes, so it is also named after her.

According to Chen Muwu's thinking, since this is a competition, sportswear must be worn.

Winter in London is also very cold, and the only heating equipment in the library is a stove. He definitely can't wear those short-sleeved shorts, but he also chose a set of clothes that are soft, stretchable, and easy to move.

Then, Chen Muwu became a conspicuous person in the entire library.

He was the only one wearing "fancy clothes", the others were all dressed up in suits and ties.

Several of the female contestants even wore dresses that looked a bit exaggerated from the perspective of future generations, and wore jewelery around their necks and wrists.

How do these people come to participate in a table tennis match?It was clearly like attending a dinner party at the Swaythlin family, or an afternoon aristocratic salon.

However, in the early days of table tennis, in the UK, it was more like a small game in social activities than a competitive sport.

Later, the very large number of East Asian countries Japan and China joined in, and finally it became more and more competitive.

Although this competition was only held for the first time, it was more like a self-pleasure sport for enthusiasts with the world’s reputation. However, because of the participation of Chen Muwu, a topical figure, it still attracted the attention of some reporters.

——This was probably to increase the influence of the first World Table Tennis Championships, so ITTF Chairman Montague deliberately released the news. He originally invited Chen Muwu to participate in the competition to gain popularity.

Chen Muwu, wearing the clothes he wanted to win, attracted the attention of many reporters and cameras.

Before the game even started, spotlights flashed from time to time in the Swaythlin Library, and of course he was the protagonist.

But clothes alone cannot allow Chen Muwu to get through all the way and go straight to Huanglong.

I can't beat the table tennis level of the old man in the community. It's not a problem to torture the students in Copenhagen and the young men from rich families like Montagu. But I can really compete with the people in Eastern Europe who often engage in table tennis. Even though Chen Muwu is 100 years ahead in overall situation, he should be defeated, but he still cannot be defeated.

However, Chen Muwu's defeat was not unjust. He eliminated his Hungarian athlete Jacoby Roland in the men's singles event, and finally won the men's singles championship of the first World Table Tennis Championships, and won the gold medal donated by his defeated opponent Chen Muwu. Championship trophy, Cup of China.

Chen Muwu's trophy was specially customized by a silver shop in London.

After the trophy was finished, he made a special trip to Chinatown and asked a stamp engraver to carve the word "China" in seal script on it.

After finishing the engraving, the engraving master took the initiative to show his courtesy and asked Chen Muwu if he wanted to engrave a circle on the trophy, and then engrave twelve long and narrow triangles around the outside of the circle.

"Recently, the army in the south has been advancing steadily. This symbol has spread from China to London. Sir, do you really not want to have one?"

At first, Chen Muwu didn't realize what shape the master was talking about.

When the other party handed over a piece of paper and saw a sun-like pattern drawn on it, Chen Muwu shook his head in shock.

My friend, this thing is not interesting!
The trophy in Jacoby's hand is the most exquisite one in the entire competition.

As for Montagu, the chairman of the ITTF, he has completely forgotten about the trophy.

Seeing the China Cup that Chen Muwu had prepared, he thought about whether he should also prepare a trophy for the men's team champion. However, the game was coming to an end and it would be too late to customize it.

In this case, Baroness Swaythlin would have to take action again.

She picked a silver trophy from her collection and asked her son to give it to the Hungarian team, the champion that year.

On December 12, the first World Table Tennis Championships came to a successful conclusion. Chen Muwu had no other gains except being the culprit of his money.

There was also a lack of interest in this competition in the newspapers. Now the whole UK's attention is on another thing.

After Conan Doyle and Chandler York, another rising star in the world of British detective fiction, Agatha Christie, a contracted writer of Penguin Press, ran away from home on December 12 and disappeared mysteriously. It's been a few days and no one knows where she went.

The day after she left home, a Morris Cowley sedan she was driving was found in a quarry near her home.

Some suspect that Agatha may have thrown herself into a nearby lake.

The disappearance quickly became a popular news story as the media sought to satisfy readers' "hungry for sensation, disaster and scandal."

The Home Secretary put pressure on Scotland Yard police, and some newspapers offered a £[-] reward for Agatha's whereabouts.

Sir Conan Doyle, the author of the Sherlock Holmes series of detective novels who loved feudal superstition, even found a glove that Agatha once wore and gave it to a psychic in an attempt to find the long-lost emerging detective novel. writer.
