Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 326 65 Director Chen is exhausted

Chen Muwu first came to the meeting of the Apostolic Society to see if he could meet Montagu, the chairman of the ITTF, and thank him for renting a house in London to him so that the Chen family could have a life in the UK. A place to stay.

As a result, when he entered the meeting venue, he didn't even recognize the faces of the apostles attending the meeting. Ramsey pulled him to a corner of the meeting place and introduced him and Wittgenstein to each other.

Wittgenstein was also more enthusiastic than Chen Muwu expected. Just looking at the photo, Chen Muwu thought that the Austrian philosopher was not good at words and was the type who thought quietly and unconcerned with the world.

Then the conversation between the two people broke Chen Muwu and Chen Muwu's inherent impression of philosophers. In Wittgenstein, he also saw the shadow of his teacher Russell. He was not said to be chattering, but he was also very talkative and his thinking was very clear.

Wittgenstein's ideas were clear and the more he talked, the happier he became. But when he arrived at Chen Muwu's place, his ideas began to be confused and he couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

Fortunately, the topic between the two people shifted from ethereal philosophy to quantum physics that Chen Muwu could grasp in time, and the discussion did not go further.

Later, because of Niconico in Japan and AcFun in China, there was a spoof word on the Internet called "philosophy" or "philosophy", which means "the science of 'bending' straight things into curved ones" and is used as a synonym for male and homosexual.

Chen Muwu used to just be happy, but now he suddenly understands why he named this kind of Longyang goodness as philosophy.

It is not without reason that the UK is called a corrupt country. As academic qualifications further improve, the probability of the broken sleeve trend becoming higher and higher. The probability of it appearing on the campus of Cambridge University is greater than the British average, and the probability of it appearing in the Apostolic Society is, And larger than Cambridge University.

Studying and discussing philosophy every day, it???s strange that you don???t change your mind!
Well, actually the serious reason is not this. There is a saying that it is because the children of the British aristocrats and the children of wealthy families have been attending aristocratic public schools with extremely high educational standards but strict management since they were young. If nothing else goes wrong, those who are good at studying will be admitted to Cambridge and Oxford. Those who are not good at studying will find connections at home and go through the back door and be sent to the Army or the Royal Navy to serve as soldiers. .

From public schools to universities or the military, these three places have one thing in common, that is, for centuries, the members there have been all male.

From adolescence to adolescence, I have been surrounded by elite people of the same gender as myself, and without proper guidance, I have been warned not to get too close to girls or have intimate connections with them.

In such an education and living environment, most people may have a rebellious mentality, thinking only of women, but there are also a small number of people who will feel disgusted with women because of this, and feel disgusted with the same-sex people who are around them all day long. Another feeling arises.

Fortunately, the people around Chen Muwu were okay, but not much better.

For example, when Ramsey was studying at Cambridge University, he met Geoffrey and Margaret Pike, graduates of Pembroke College, Cambridge University, who opened an infant school in Cambridgeshire, and they Become friends with them.

The Parkers, who were ten years older than Ramsey, enthusiastically involved Ramsey in their family life, taking him on vacations and making him godfather to their youngest son.

Then one afternoon, Ramsay faced Margaret Pike's wife and asked a question similar to what Ah Q asked Wu's mother: "Margaret, will you sleep with me?"

If you pretend to be confused about this kind of problem, everyone will be able to understand it tacitly.

But once that layer of window paper is broken through, all that is left for each other is embarrassment.

Margaret was still too reserved and did not directly give Ram a big mouth. Instead, she tactfully said that she needed some time to consider his proposal.

This also caused Ramsay to begin to suffer from uncontrollable depression, and he finally left Cambridge University in 1924 and went to Vienna, Austria, where he received psychoanalytic treatment from psychologists at Freud's base.

It was during his trip to Vienna that he made a special trip to the southern countryside of Austria, where he finally met Wittgenstein, whom he had been friends with for a long time.

Later, in the second half of 1924, Chen Muwu met Ramsay for the first time at the Apostolic Society. The other party said that he had just returned from abroad. The foreign country here referred to the psychoanalytic treatment he had received in Austria.

The Austrian psychologists were more reliable than their counterparts in Paris, France. They did not advise Ramsey to find some prostitutes in Paris, as they did when they treated Oppenheimer.

??????On the contrary, Chen Muwu felt in his heart that the suggestions put forward by the psychiatrists in Paris were more reliable for the impatient Ramsay. A trip to the red light district of Paris was a powerful medicine and a temporary cure. A good medicine that cures the root cause.

After Ramsey returned to China, it didn't take long for him to find his wife and get married. The relationship with the Parker family gradually returned to normal, but after all, it could not return to the time when they first met.

Chen Muwu thinks that Ramsey is a good person. As a friend, if he needs help with anything, he will do his best.

But when he gets married next year, he will have to be careful, especially keeping Eve away from him.

At the end of the conversation, Chen Muwu asked Wittgenstein where he lived at Cambridge University and told him that he had sent people to send him lecture notes on quantum mechanics in the past few days. He also said that Professor Fowler had been writing in Dirac. This book is taught to students at Cambridge University. If he has time, he can also go to the classroom to audit.

After finally ending the conversation with Ramsey and Wittgenstein about philosophy, physics, etc., Chen Muwu went to find Montagu, who was also attending the party today, and thanked him for doing him a big favor in London.

"Dr. Chen, why are you so polite! I should be the one to say thank you because you took the time to participate in our World Table Tennis Championships at the end of last year and were reported by major newspapers in the UK, Europe and the United States. From then to now In more than half a year, not only the membership of the British Table Tennis Association has continued to grow, but also the number of member countries applying to join the ITTF has also increased rapidly. This is all thanks to Dr. Chen's international influence!

"Whenever you go to London again, I will definitely thank you. In addition, my mother has been inviting you to my home. I hope that if Chen Muwu has time, please be sure to appreciate it."

Yes, originally Chen Muwu wanted to thank others, but in the end, he was truly thanked by others.

Chen Muwu felt ashamed but disrespectful, so he could only be polite and courteous with Montagu like a see-saw.

... Before leaving the Apostolic Society, Chen Muwu overheard the topic discussed by these people, which had drifted to the Arabian Peninsula. They were discussing the "Treaty of Jeddah" signed not long ago between the British government and King Ibn Saud of Najd and Hijaz. , formally recognizing the independence of the country that occupies most of the Arabian Peninsula.

"This treaty should have been signed a long time ago! My uncle went to the Arabian Peninsula with the inspection team. Except for a few areas in the north that are suitable for human habitation, most of the entire peninsula is an uninhabited desert with no vegetation and no water resources. It's just yellow sand and cacti, and by the way, there are camels.

"That place has a hot summer all year round, and the wind that occasionally blows is also hot and carries a lot of sand. My uncle said that even if you wear the white robes they have there and ride a camel for a day, all kinds of damage will happen on your head. The hole will be filled with sand."

"I also think this treaty was signed really well. Instead of this place being in the hands of the UK and spending many pounds every year to maintain local security and invest in infrastructure construction, it would be better to leave it to those riding in white robes. The natives of Camel, let them fend for themselves.???

Crossing his legs, holding a red wine glass in his hand, leaning on the sofa and talking about national affairs unscrupulously, Chen Muwu always felt that the scene in the Apostolic Society was not like a gathering of elite students at Cambridge University, but more like a gathering of elite students at Cambridge University. It was like sitting in a crowded, hard-seat carriage on a green train, listening to a group of well-informed men gathering together to talk.

He felt that the group of college students in the Apostolic Society who supported the signing of the Treaty of Jeddah were as short-sighted as the British government that signed the treaty. They also said that the Arabian Peninsula was a useless place.

In a few years, when a large amount of oil is mined from under that land, it will be too late to cry!
Who made the entire country unable to trust Dr. Chen's oil company and wasted a good opportunity to make a fortune?

The Apostolic Society meeting that night was finally over. After basically sitting in the venue all night, Chen Muwu's body was not tired, but his brain was a bit overloaded.

After returning to his room at Trinity College, he fell directly on the bed and fell asleep until a little goblin named "Causation Theory" jumped out of his brain and fought tenaciously with a villain who represented himself. all night.

A night's sleep was in vain, and Chen Muwu was still exhausted when he woke up the next day.

The power of philosophy is so terrifying that Dr. Chen feels that it would be better to settle down and study physics.

Regardless of whether Chen Muwu participates or not, the annual intercollegiate sports meeting jointly organized by the University of Cambridge and the University of Oxford will still be held as scheduled in London, the capital of the United Kingdom.

In the eyes of the London public, this was much more lively than the FA Cup that just ended at Wembley Stadium. Cardiff City, a football team from Wales, defeated Arsenal at Highbury Stadium in North London. England's FA Cup was snatched away by a bunch of stinky foreigners.

The indignation of the trophy dropped could only be entertained by watching the rowing athletes from Cambridge and Oxford universities fighting bravely in the water on both sides of the Thames.

Chen Muwu, who returned to London to reunite with his family, also asked someone to help reserve a seat in advance and took the old lady of the Chen family and his eldest brother Chen Muqiao to watch the game.

??????After Chen Muping came to the UK from Sihai, he is now the busiest of the three brothers in the Chen family.

He often traveled between England and Sweden, taking care of his younger brother's business in these two countries.

At the beginning, when he received many letters and reports from Chen Muwu in Sihai, he thought that his younger brother's statement about having done several businesses in Europe was a joke.

But after arriving in Europe and conducting on-site inspections, Chen Muping saw that his little brother had quietly made several big deals here.

Chen Muwu randomly took out shares in an industry whose scale and wealth were much larger than the small bank he opened on Jiangxi Road in the public concession.

No wonder he said that he wanted his whole family to leave their hometown and live in Europe. He really had the confidence to say such a thing!
A family of three sat under a makeshift arbor by the Thames River, and Chen Muwu introduced to his mother and eldest brother that this annual rowing meeting is a scenic spot in London and even the whole of the UK.

Chen Muqiao is the former provost of Nanyang University. He has been in this position for more than ten years. He has also gone abroad to inspect foreign education, so he naturally knows that sports are an indispensable part of foreign universities.

Therefore, when he was in office, he also imitated the sports meets of the two universities of Oxbridge and agreed to jointly organize the "East China Eight University Sports Meet" at several universities inside and outside the Sihai Concession.

Looking at the athletes in the Thames River, and looking at the London citizens cheering for these athletes on both sides of the river, Chen Muqiao felt emotional again: Only when the country is rich and powerful can the people have the time and energy to devote themselves enthusiastically to sports events. among.If this were a sports meeting held in Wuhai, let alone a sports meeting held by the Eight East China University, even the Far Eastern Games held in Wuhai in the [-]th year of the Republic of China, the stadium would not be full of spectators, let alone the crowds on both sides of the Thames River today. .

It was the first time for the old lady of the Chen family to see this kind of Western scene. She pointed to the two boats in the water and asked something that the Chen brothers didn't know how to respond to: "These foreigners also celebrate May Day, too. Are you racing dragon boats in the river?"

After accompanying the old lady to watch the lively Cambridge-Oxford Joint Games, which made his family members who had just arrived in the UK and were not used to life here temporarily forget about the pain of homesickness, Chen Muwu rushed back to Cambridge University again without stopping.

The particle accelerator, which had been busy in the past few months, has gradually cooled down.

The reason why this happened was not that there were no more experiments to be done in the accelerator, but because in the past few days, Cockcroft followed parts of several particle accelerators to the United States, while Zhao Zhongyao took the train all the way to the United States. Dong, install the machines for Germany and Soviet Union.

In order to make money, the Cavendish Laboratory left its machines without operators. Oppenheimer was preparing to graduate. He was also an experimental insulator, so Chen Muwu, the acting director of the laboratory, could only go into battle personally.

Who told his teacher Rutherford, in order to sell the machine at a good price, to package this cheap machine into a high-end product that would break at the touch of a touch!

Chen Muwu worked in the particle accelerator laboratory for a whole day and finally processed all the backlog of experimental applications.

As soon as he reached the door of Trinity College, the supervisor responsible for sending and receiving letters and telegrams stopped the exhausted Acting Director Chen: "Dr. Chen, you have a telegram that was just delivered this afternoon."
