Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 333 72 Cambridge University Graduation Season

"Okay, Dr. Chen, you have the final say, then I will consider returning to China to teach.

"I have to say hello to other people, so I'll take my leave first."

It was originally a lively reception to celebrate PhD graduation, but one of the protagonists of the reception, Oppenheimer, began to become depressed after his conversation with Chen Muwu.

Although he was very reluctant to leave the UK and leave Dr. Chen, who had studied, worked and lived with him for three years, since the other party had already spoken so sincerely, he himself could not say anything more.

Oppenheimer had already begun to curse viciously in his heart, Chancellor Balfour and his gang of scoundrels, including the current British Chancellor of the Exchequer, Churchill, who had been preventing Chen Muwu from becoming a professor at Cambridge University.

He thought that as soon as he returned to the United States, he would contact the local media in New York and tell them how narrow-minded, conservative, jealous, and racist the United Kingdom was.

He also sincerely hopes that the university in Stockholm can be built and put into use as soon as possible. He even considers whether he should use his anonymous identity to send a sum of money to Sweden to support local education construction?
Although Chen Muwu also didn't want to see Oppenheimer's helpless back, he was helpless.

Although he is well-known at Cambridge University, he does not have an identity that he can demonstrate, and after all, he is still under-represented.

And Chen Muwu can't leave here now. Firstly, he has to help Rutherford and take care of all the matters in the Cavendish Laboratory during his return to China. Secondly, he also Nowhere to go.

Oppenheimer hoped that the Royal Prince's College in Stockholm would be built as soon as possible, and so did Chen Muwu.

Therefore, not only Oppenheimer could not be retained, but also Shi Ruwei and Chen Muwu, who had obtained a doctorate together with Oppenheimer and put on a doctorate hat today.

Zhao Zhongyao had no need to worry because he was one of the few people who participated in the entire construction of the particle accelerator, and he was also one of the few staff members in the Cavendish Laboratory who could skillfully use and repair it.

With these skills at his side, after he installed those machines, returned to Cambridge University from the European continent, and obtained his doctorate, even if Chen Muwu wanted to let him go, the director of the laboratory, Rutherford, would definitely do it. One jumped out and disagreed.

As for Shi Ruwei...

Chen Muwu stood up from his seat and walked to Kapitsa who was drinking happily on the other side.

"Peter, Peter."

He patted each other on the shoulder.

"What's wrong, Chen? Today is such a happy day, why is the expression on your face so gloomy? Is it because the first student you tutored has graduated, so you feel that time flies by and is a little sad? Or is it that you are thinking of something new? theoretical issues?"

Kapitsa turned around and saw that the person standing behind him was his good friend, so he asked this question.

Chen Muwu still frowned: "No, I just want to talk to you about Shi Ruwei, who also graduated today and is now all your students. What do you think of him?"

"Excellent, just like you!" Hearing him mention the name of his assistant, Kapitsa couldn't control the expression of praise and affection on his face. "When you first came to Cambridge, I thought China People are as smart as you.

"Later, after I met George through your introduction, I realized that this was not the case. Not all Chinese are as smart as you, you are just a special case among them.

"Of course I don't mean to say anything bad about George. His cooking skills are very good. A few years have passed and I still miss him very much. If you want to write to George who is far away in China, please don't Forgot to add my greetings to him.

"Let's continue talking about Mr. Shi. George left Cambridge University and went to France, and you brought back Mr. Zhao and Mr. Shi from China.

“Although their cooking skills are not as good as George’s, their arrival once again changed my view of Chinese people.

“It is a remarkable achievement that Mr Zhao was able to build a particle accelerator for the University of Cambridge;
"Although Mr. Shi has only been with me for a short time, I saw in him the diligence and agility that are unique to the Chinese people, as well as a spirit of being true to everything.

"I am beginning to feel that there are many smart individuals among Chinese people, but my opinion of you has not changed. Chen, you are the smartest among all Chinese people.

"The least smart thing you did was not knowing how to drink. Even though I'm excited now, I can't share my inner feelings with you by clinking glasses."

Fortunately, the guy opposite was getting married soon this year, otherwise Chen Muwu would have wondered whether Kapitsa had stayed in the UK for too long and started to like him.

"I'm flattered, I'm flattered." He patted Kapitsa's shoulder hard again, "I'm coming to you now mainly to ask if you have any ideas about Shi Ruwei's future plans."

"Mr. Shi? He really hasn't told me about his future plans, so I don't know what his current thoughts are."

"Can you think of a way to keep him in Cambridge?"

Although he was forced to stay in the Cavendish Laboratory by Director Rutherford, some people at Cambridge University and even the entire UK were unwilling to see this situation and had been racking their brains to expel Chen Muwu. go out.

Under such circumstances, Chen Muwu had no choice but to keep an American named Oppenheimer at Cambridge University, let alone his Chinese compatriot Shi Ruwei.

It is definitely not appropriate to trouble teacher Rutherford, because he has already left Zhao Zhongyao this year, and he is also under a lot of pressure.

So after Chen Muwu explained his plan for his future life to Oppenheimer today, he came to Kapitsa again to see if there was any way he could keep Shi Ruwei at Cambridge University.

Although Kapitsa didn't look serious after he was drunk and bold, but after hearing this question from his good friend, his expression became serious like Chen Muwu:

"Admittedly, I admit that Mr. Shi and I work very well together in the laboratory. I also hope that he can stay at Cambridge University, stay with me, and continue to engage in scientific research together. But I'm sorry, Chen, I think I may not have this ability yet.”

As a foreigner studying and working at Cambridge University, Kapitsa's situation is slightly better than Chen Muwu's, but not much better.

Especially now that the Conservative cabinet has severed diplomatic relations with Sulian, Kapitsa, who is about to be labeled as a Soviet spy, is having a much harder time than Chen Muwu. The two can really be regarded as inseparable brothers.

Even so, Kapitsa did not forget to rack his brains and give his good friend an idea.

"Can't Old Crocodile think of something? I also really want Mr. Shi to stay at Cambridge University."

Chen Muwu shook his head: "Not to mention that the teacher is still on his way back to Europe from New Zealand. Even if he is in the laboratory now, I think it will be difficult to achieve this." Zhao Zhongyao will definitely be kept by the teacher. But the situation of Shi Ruwei is hard to say. "

In order to get Chen Muwu a professorship at the University of Cambridge, his teacher Rutherford and Rutherford's teacher Old Thomson wrote countless proposals to the school's senate, but they were used every time. It was rejected for various reasons and never approved.

Allowing Chen Muwu to stay at the Cavendish Laboratory is already the result of a compromise between the two parties. If Zhao Zhongyao and Shi Ruwei are allowed to stay together again this year, Rutherford will probably face a lot of pressure.

If no one can do anything, there are actually only two ways left in front of Shi Ruwei.

One is to return to China, and the other is to be like Oppenheimer and rely on the golden sign of a PhD diploma from Cambridge University to become a university professor in a well-known American university with less work and more money.

Because Shi Ruwei is Chinese, even if he has a PhD from Cambridge University, it is not easy for him to find a teaching job in the UK, which claims to be the best in the world, even if he is not Cambridge University.

But the situation is completely different in the United States. Zhao Yuanren, who received his Ph.D. from Harvard University, can get a teaching position in an American university. So Shi Ruwei, a Ph.D. from Cambridge University, is even more of a foreign monk who can recite scriptures and has a relationship with the rising academic Chen Chen. Doctors are inextricably linked to each other. If nothing else happens, he will definitely be sought after by various universities in the United States.

However, it is easy to leave the UK. If Shi Ruwei wants to return to Europe in the future, he will have only two choices in front of him.

First, Kapitsa successfully became the director of the Monds Laboratory under the name of the Royal Institution of London, and appointed Shi Ruweilai as a researcher in the laboratory.

Second, as I just said to Oppenheimer, when the Prince's College in Stockholm is finally completed and put into use, Shi Ruwei can also go there to become a professor.

Apart from the above two, Chen Muwu could not think of any other way.

But no matter which option they choose, it is still only a concern for Chen Muwu and Kapitsa.

How will Shi Ruwei choose?In the end, it still depends on his own thoughts.

"Thank you for your hard work, Peter. I'll talk to Shi Ruwei himself about his thoughts on this matter."

Chen Muwu left Kapitsa's table again and moved to Shi Ruwei's side.

Shi Ruwei, who also obtained a doctorate today like Oppenheimer, is also one of the protagonists of today's Eagle Bar.

But compared with Oppenheimer, who was lively at the beginning but became gloomy after talking to Chen Muwu, Shi Ruwei has always had no sense of existence.

"Brother Shunruo, should I call you Dr. Shi now?
"Congratulations on your successful graduation from Cambridge University and your Ph.D. diploma. It's a pity that I'm not good at drinking. Otherwise, I would definitely have a drink with my brother today."

"Dr. Chen, please stop making fun of me. I can go from being a person who learned nothing from Mr. Ye to where I am today, all because of the letter you wrote to Mr. Ye. You and Ye Sir, you are my great benefactor.

"I should drink this glass of wine."

After saying that, Shi Ruwei picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"What are your plans after this graduation?"

Chen Muwu was no longer polite. He got straight to the point and raised his question directly.

"To be honest, I haven't decided yet, but no matter where I stay in the future, I want to go back to China for a visit. After all, it has been nearly three years since I last left Baihai to come to the UK."

There is no need for Chen Muwu to persuade him. This is another person like Ye Gongchao who said, "Although Jincheng is happy, it is better to return home early."

But it would be great if Shi Ruwei took the initiative to propose that he wanted to return to China, because his idea coincided with Chen Muwu's.

The first examination for international students in Wuhai was about to begin. Although the Swedish Embassy in China was there to provide full support, Chen Muwu felt that it would be better to send one of his own people there.

It just so happened that Shi Ruwei was still from Chongshuang - this place still belonged to Changsu - and his home was not too far away from Sihai. After returning to China, he could not only participate in the selection of international students, but also help those who The selected outstanding talents took a preparatory class before studying abroad, and they were taught what they should pay attention to when going abroad.

"Dr. Shi, you have seen my situation in Cambridge now. Although Sir Rutherford is sitting in the laboratory and he takes good care of me, I am actually not welcome in the entire university.

"So if you want to stay in Cambridge, there is nothing I can do. My first thought was to suggest that you find a position in an American university. After all, they all speak English and the language is similar.

"But since you have the idea of ​​temporarily returning to China to take a look, that's okay. I'll help you write a letter to Nanyang University in Nanyang, which is half of my alma mater.

"Whenever you finish your vacation and visit relatives, with your PhD status from Cambridge University, it won't be a problem to become a professor or head of the physics department at Nanyang University.

“The only thing you have to pay attention to is that the current domestic situation is very chaotic, and you must learn to protect yourself at all times.

"After the Swedish school is completed, I hope you can return to Europe and help me there."

Chen Muwu also wanted to talk to Shi Ruwei about the selection of international students after returning to Baihai.

But seeing that he was already a bit drunk, he decided to wait until later, not caring about it overnight.

Every time there is a gathering in the laboratory, Chen Muwu must be the most sober person at the end.

Although he is now the acting director, Director Chen still has to put down his arrogance and "direct traffic" and let the more sober people send the less sober people home.

He sent Oppenheimer, who had been silently muttering that he "didn't want to go back to the United States," back to Christian College, and then returned to where he lived.

Chen Muwu will get up early tomorrow to pay a return visit to Wittgenstein's residence.
