Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 296 35 You are the reincarnation of Merlin

Conan Doyle made a big news at the press conference, saying that long before he discovered Agatha's whereabouts, Chen Muwu had told him his judgment on the matter.

Although he did not specify the name of the hotel where he was staying, he accurately stated the pseudonym Agatha used when staying at the hotel.

Doyle praised Chen Muwu at the press conference, saying that he was definitely a great psychic who had mastered advanced psychic techniques, but he was hiding it very deeply and was unwilling to reveal his identity.

Chen Muwu never imagined that after his wish to defraud Doyle of a sum of money without making any mistakes, the matter would develop further, and he was labeled as a great psychic.

After Doyle's press conference, reporters had different opinions on the extremely ridiculous thing he said at the conference.

Some people think that this is a collusion between Chen Muwu and Sir Doyle, so that Doyle can use the reputation he has accumulated in the UK and abroad through the Sherlock Holmes series to build momentum for Chen Muwu, a rising star.

Although Houdini is dead, the prospect of spiritualism is still not optimistic. More and more anti-counterfeiters appear, more and more victims cry, and more and more people realize that spiritualism is a lie. His dirty tricks made his reputation worse and worse.

In this case, if we want to reverse this unfavorable situation, we can only launch a new round of god-making movement.

Doyle of the older generation has a high reputation, while Chen Muwu of the new generation also has a great reputation.

The more critical point is that Chen Muwu is actually a scientific practitioner.

I don’t know how much it cost Doyle to let this young leader in the physics community turn to support the most superstitious spiritualism.

Chen Muwu really has no moral integrity at all. He would even sell his academic reputation for some money.

It is really sad that he is obviously a representative figure in the scientific community, but now he has become a charlatan.

However, some reporters feel that Doyle's statement may not be untrustworthy.

Whether spiritualism is science or not, no one can confirm or falsify it, and no one can explain what happened to the winged fairies photographed by two little girls in Yorkshire a few years ago. .

These people are more inclined to believe that spiritualism is true and reliable. Now that Chen Muwu has appeared, it has increased their confidence in insisting on this view.

Anyway, regardless of whether it is true or not that Chen Muwu used psychic skills to predict Agatha's movements and pseudonym in advance, it contains great news value.

After the press conference held by Dorga, reporters sent by various newspapers rushed out of the conference venue. Just like the news picture that will be famous in the future, "Learning that Pearl Harbor was American journalists after the attack."

However, everyone's destination was not to rush to report this explosive news as soon as possible. Instead, they all rushed to the public phone booths around Doyle's house and reported to the newspaper what they learned at the press conference. situation, please send someone to Cambridge as soon as possible to hear what Chen Muwu, another party involved in the incident, has to say about the matter.

As a result, the newspapers carrying the news had not yet been sold to London residents, let alone transported by train to Cambridgeshire, but reporters who were a step ahead arrived here first.

As an academic town with top universities, the presence of a large number of journalists in Cambridgeshire is nothing new.

Every time they come, it is basically either a professor who has made a surprising and important discovery in academics, or the University of Cambridge has trained a rising star in British politics.

But before something like this happens, there are usually signs in the newspapers.

This time, because the press conference at Doyle's house had not yet been published in the newspapers, the reporters went straight to Trinity College, the best school in Cambridge University, as soon as they got off the car, a place that can cultivate both scientists and politicians. People still don't know. Why did these people come to Cambridge?

The person involved, Chen Muwu, was surprised when he heard the supervisor of Trinity College say that a group of reporters suddenly appeared outside the college, and they all came to interview him.

He didn't know why such a group of people suddenly came, and why did they come?

Was it Rutherford who came here to build momentum for the artificial nuclear reaction experiment that was just successful not long ago?

Or is table tennis so popular in the UK that people still come to interview me after the game?

Chen Muwu, who was confused, finally decided to meet these reporters who came from afar in the reception room of Trinity College.

After the listener explained his purpose, he realized that both of his guesses were wrong.

Who would have thought that it was Doyle, who seemed to have high moral character, who betrayed him?

Chen Muwu will never admit the nonsense that he knows psychic skills - and he doesn't know how to do it at all.

From using stories in "Zhuangzi" to explain time travel, using the creation of Pangu to explain the Big Bang, using Taichi diagrams to explain to Bohr what wave-particle duality is, and using the literary image of George Chen to reverse the image of Chinese people in the eyes of Europeans and Americans. Wait for this series of things.

Although Chen Muwu has always wanted to create a mysterious power from the East for Westerners, he really doesn't have the spiritual skills.

In this day and age, even in the advanced and developed West, it is hard to say which one, science or mysticism, has a greater impact on mankind.

After all, ten years ago, most people in Europe believed that Rasputin, the "Lao Ai" of Tsarist Russia, was truly mysterious and omnipotent.

Chen Muwu absolutely did not want to become the British Rasputin, so he tried his best to deny the incident in front of reporters.

He is even more afraid that he will bloom outside the wall and have fragrance inside the wall. If the matter of occultism spreads back to China from Europe, he will be revered as the omnipotent and omniscient patriarch by all kinds of heretics in the country. Bang Xiaoxiao used his own name to cheat.

When he discussed with Einstein at the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and when he brought up time travel during his lecture at Bei University, Chen Muwu had already been dealt with like this once, and he really didn't want to do it again.

So now he could only explain to the visiting reporters that he didn't know anything about psychics at all. He was just a loyal reader of the mediocre Sherlock Holmes series and liked the deductive reasoning written in the book. method, so I just like to try to think in my spare time.

It was precisely because of this that he deliberately made friends with the author of Sherlock Holmes, Sir Conan Doyle. This time he just explained his views to the author himself, but unexpectedly Mr. Doyle misunderstood him. .

Chen Muwu had no choice but to explain this matter to the visiting journalists, but it seemed that his guests found it difficult to believe what Dr. Chen said.

But even so, Chen Muwu still stuck to his bottom line and did not reveal to reporters that he was the author of the best-selling series of books by Penguin Publishing, George Chen.

Precisely because Agatha was also a contracted writer with Penguin Publishing House, Chen Muwu was afraid that after he revealed the vest, the matter might develop from a piece of occult news to a risqué news.

After fooling the reporters from London, Chen Muwu felt more and more that this incident was inexplicable.

When tomorrow's newspapers publish the details of Doyle's press conference and his interview in Cambridge, there may be another bloody storm in the UK.

Time is money, and the major newspapers in Fleet Street, London, would never allow such explosive news to appear in the newspapers even a minute late.

That night, the contents of Doyle's press conference appeared in the evening editions of several major London newspapers.

In the daily newspaper the next morning, an interview with Chen Muwu in Cambridgeshire was also released.Only a few newspapers that adhere to the concept of neutrality and objectivity have reproduced the original text of Chen Muwu's defense in their press releases.

Most of the rest of what Chen Muwu said basically had an attitude of "anyway, I basically paraphrased his statement in full, it's up to you to believe it or not."

Everyone hopes that after the popularity of Agatha's disappearance gradually fades away, Chen Muwu can stir up a new wave of popularity.

Some newspaper editorial boards have even begun to consider whether to hold an event in London and invite Chen Muwu to demonstrate his psychic powers.

Most readers of newspapers regard this as a kind of fun.

Chen Muwu has always been a topical figure in the science and technology news section, but recently he crossed over to the popular news side.

Some people think to go further. If it is true that Chen Muwu is a psychic as Doyle said, is there any possibility that when he said he was looking for oil half a month ago, it was not a sensational joke? , but a subtle reminder?

Some speculators even thought of taking a gamble, but exploring oil was not as easy as buying a copy of the Daily Telegraph for a penny, which was real pounds.

Not to mention where to raise such a sum of money, if it fails to achieve results, wouldn't all these pounds that can be exchanged for gold be wasted?

Saxophone Romer, who had been silent for a long time, felt that his Fu Manchu, which had been suppressed by George Chen for a long time, seemed to have found an opportunity to rise again.

The most famous Chinese person in the UK was pointed out as being a mystic. He could just use this topic to make a big fuss and continue to promote the "yellow peril theory" that everyone seemed to have forgotten.

However, among British readers, it was not Romer who reacted the most, but someone else.

Before this series of news was published in the newspaper, this person already knew the cause and effect of the matter.

Before holding a press conference, Doyle once breathed gas to the members of the Ghost Club at a gathering.

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Many people here have listened to Chen Muwu's lectures in the Ghost Club, and many of them have also become acquainted with him.

In addition to Doyle, Chen Muwu's old acquaintance also has Huxley, whom he first met in the club and got to know deeply at the Duke of York.

Huxley listened to Doyle's description after attending a club party. After returning home, he saw Chen Muwu's statement in the newspaper, which reminded him of a past event not long ago.

It was at the party at the Duke of York's house after the strike that Chen Muwu gave the newborn princess a car safety device as a gift.

That night, Chen Muwu also had a relatively in-depth exchange with himself.

In that exchange, he once mentioned to himself that although the current British king will definitely be Prince Edward who will take the throne a hundred years later, it is not impossible for Prince Albert to ascend the throne and be crowned king.

Huxley hated the playboy Prince of Wales extremely and was a die-hard second-prince party. After hearing what Chen Muwu said, he was already fascinated.

Although Dr. Chen later always explained that he just believed that Prince Edward would not get married and would have no heirs, so Prince Albert must be his heir to the throne.

But whenever he thought about the possibility of the Duke of York ascending to the throne, Huxley was very excited.

But now I suddenly learned that Chen Muwu may be a great psychic with extremely high spiritual power. He can predict the pseudonym used by the missing Agatha when she stayed in the hotel. So why can't he predict the future King of England?

It is very possible that what Chen Muwu said to himself at the banquet that night was not speculation at all, but a conclusion he came to after channeling.

The more Huxley thought about it, the more reasonable his conjecture became. After work that day, he went from King's College London to King's Cross Station and took a train straight to Cambridge.

The railway from London to Cambridge will only take a short section of the Great Northern Line, the main line of British railways. After reaching Hitchin Station, it will switch to the Cambridge branch line.

This resulted in the train not supposed to have so many passengers after passing Hitchin.

Judging by their attire, these people do not look like teachers and students at Cambridge University, nor do they look like foreign tourists on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

Then there was only one possibility left. They also went to Cambridge University to find Chen Muwu, the great psychic who suddenly became popular.

After the reporter finished the interview and the news was released, Chen Muwu received several notifications today, saying that many people he didn't know wanted to visit him.

Chen Muwu was completely able to determine the purpose of these people's visit, so when faced with the notice from the hospital supervisor, he chose not to see them at all.

Anyway, the particle accelerator experiments have come to an end for the time being, and everyone on the quantum field theory side has basically gone home to prepare for Christmas.

So Chen Muwu simply came and stayed in his room in the college, hanging a no-visibility sign - even though the warden still sent people time and time again to inform him who wanted to see him.

Nine out of ten of the names of those notified people have never been heard of. It is normal for Chen Muwu not to meet them.

But this Huxley is an old acquaintance, so there is no reason why he should not be seen.

But why did he come to Cambridge as soon as it happened?

Does he represent the Ghost Club, the Duke of York, or himself?
The warden of Trinity College politely invited Huxley in from the crowd.

His treatment was completely different from that of other people who came to Cambridge and wanted to see Chen Muwu but were rejected. Even though he was born in a cultural family and had an excellent upbringing, Huxley still couldn't help but feel a little proud.

As soon as he met Chen Muwu, Huxley couldn't help but stepped forward to hold Chen Muwu's hand with both hands, and said excitedly: "Dr. Chen, I only thought you were a smart man from the East, but now that I think about it, I really neglected you at first. Only today did I realize that you, you are simply the reincarnation of Merlin!"

Chen Muwu was confused.

I?Merlin?

If I were Merlin, then who would be King Arthur?
Look at Huxley in front of you, and then think of his relationship with the Duke of York...

Well, I can only say that brother, your mind is not that big.

But the current British king is in his prime. Is it too early to start thinking about who the next king will be?
Even if your brother wants to be Hou Junji, and wants to drag Prince Albert, Duke of York, to be Li Chengqian, you don't want to rebel!

He, Chen Muwu, would never turn into Zhang Liang as a whistleblower, but the idea of ​​being unable to stand up to Huxley was really annoying.

I moistened it first.
