Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 360 99 Heisenberg fights the injustice

It had been several days since Rutherford disembarked from Marseille and traveled across France to Belgium.

Chen Muwu, on the other hand, had just gotten off the train from Brussels Station and was taken to the Solvay Palace by the staff of the Solvay Foundation. He immediately went to his teacher's room to display it.

Rutherford felt a little sorry for his student, and didn't want him to spend a long time working here after the long journey.

So after chatting for a few more words and learning about the various things that happened in the Cavendish Laboratory during his absence at Cambridge University, Rutherford took the initiative to end the separation between their master and apprentice for more than half a year. This is their first face-to-face conversation. Let Chen Muwu have a good rest tonight, recharge his batteries, and strive to be in the best condition to face the presentations at the conference in the next few days. He will strive to be foolproof and complete everything they have done at Cambridge University. The contents of the experiment were all explained beautifully.

Before leaving, Rutherford asked Chen Muwu to wait a little longer, saying that he had gifts brought back from the southern hemisphere for him.

Rutherford rummaged through the many luggage piled in the corner of the room for a while and gave Chen Muwu a sweater.

"Here, Chen, this is a sweater I specially prepared for you, made from the finest wool in New Zealand.

"When we return to the UK from Belgium, winter is almost here. This dress is just right for you to wear and you can live a warm and comfortable winter."

Rutherford's gift was chosen to be both practical and thoughtful. Although he looks tall and mighty and seems bohemian, he is actually a rough-and-tumble man. Otherwise, he would not be conducting experiments in several countries. In the laboratory, he has obtained so many excellent experimental results by himself or by guiding his students.

Chen Muwu thanked him profusely: "Thank you, thank you teacher. You have not forgotten me, an unsatisfied student, despite such a long distance. You have worked so hard to carry a sweater so far and transported it all the way back to Europe from New Zealand."

Rutherford opened his bearded mouth and laughed:
"No one can forget you. After all, our Cavendish Laboratory still relies on you to conduct more experiments!
"Just wait a moment, I have something else."

He took out another fist-sized object that looked like some kind of leather product.

"This is an interesting specialty that I bought from the local area when the ship passed by Australia. This gift is not just for you, but for all the teachers in the laboratory. It is for nothing else but to give Let’s take a look at what’s new.

"They say you are the smartest person in the laboratory, so let's ask the smartest young man to guess what this is?"

Rutherford made no secret of it, his face full of expressions of wanting to see a joke.

Thanks to the development of the Internet in the future, even if he has never been to Australia, Chen Muwu has watched all kinds of curious videos from all over the world on Douyin.

He immediately recognized the thing in the teacher's hand. It could indeed be called an Australian specialty.

The raw material of this specialty is an animal that cannot be seen anywhere else in the world as long as you leave the island - kangaroo.

What Rutherford is holding is a very famous and curious souvenir made from kangaroo materials on the Internet, a coin purse made from kangaroo egg skin!

Seeing clearly what the teacher was holding, Chen Muwu finally understood that the smile on Rutherford's face turned out to be his childish mischief.

But theoretically, he himself should have never seen a kangaroo in this timeline, so it was absolutely impossible to see a kangaroo's egg skin, so he had to pretend to be confused in front of Rutherford.

He took what Rutherford handed over, and while "playing with it" carefully, he pretended to be curious and asked:

"Teacher, this gift is very beautifully made, and the material feels very comfortable? If you ask me to guess, is it probably a small wallet made of cowhide?"

Rutherford shook his head: "Cows are indeed a specialty of Australia, but they are not the most special and unique. We also raise cattle in New Zealand.

“But you were half right, this is indeed a wallet, but it’s not made of cowhide, but kangaroo egg skin!

"It is said that during the Australian gold rush, this was the good luck bag for the gold diggers. Wallets made of this material have a meaning of 'only in, no out'."

After hearing the explanation given by the laughing Rutherford, Chen Muwu pretended to be shocked, but did not make his shock too obvious.

"This, this is really an interesting gift, thank you, thank you teacher!"

Holding a New Zealand wool sweater and an Australian kangaroo wallet in his hands, Chen Muwu finally left Rutherford's room after finishing the conversation with the teacher.

But he did not continue to follow Rutherford's instructions and went directly to his room to sleep and rest.

After putting these two gifts back, he went out again and visited the rooms of the physics seniors one by one.

The phrase "It's not strange to be polite to many people" sung by Lou Dewa in the song is not only applicable in China, but also an unbreakable truth around the world.

Chen Muwu first went to the Germans. Planck, who will be 70 years old next year and has retired, is still very strong and strong. He still took the train to a neighboring country to participate in this Solvay Conference.

This is the first well-known conference for the German physics community to be re-accepted by the world academic community after the end of the First World War - not counting the Como Conference held at the beginning of the year because of the great success of the bald man from Italy - as a German Planck, the oldest and most senior physicist in the physics community, of course had to personally lead the team there.

After retiring, Planck was getting older, so like his colleague Thomson who stayed at Cambridge University, he basically didn't care much about the cutting-edge knowledge of physics, and gradually became more interested in the fields he was good at. Resting on one's laurels.

He just thanked Chen Muwu for his noble act of disobeying his teacher and selling the particle accelerator to the University of Berlin at a reduced price. He also praised the person who transported the accelerator components from the UK to Berlin to help with the installation, and patiently pointed out how to use the accelerator. Another Chinese, Zhao Zhongyao.

This time, it was really like being sold and stupidly helping people count money.

Since basically no one brought their family members to attend the Solvay Conference - except for Kapitsa - the person who lived in the same room as Planck was another famous physicist from Germany, also Chen Muwu. An old friend who was both a teacher and a friend, Albert Einstein.

Einstein was not as easy to talk to as Planck. After Planck thanked Chen Muwu and Zhao Zhongyao, he couldn't wait to jump out and fire at him:
"Dr. Chen, have we not seen each other for a long time?"

Chen Muwu had already sensed that the visitor was unkind, and silently refuted his statement in his heart. ——Obviously we just met in late autumn and early winter last year, okay?

The person who cut himself off on the platform of Berlin's Silesia Railway Station to prevent him from returning to the UK was not you, Professor Einstein, so who could it be?
But he still echoed Einstein's point of view politely: "Who says it's not the case, Professor Einstein! I thought I would meet Professor Einstein on the shores of Lake Como in Italy at the beginning of this year, but who knew you didn't?" What a pity that I was able to attend that meeting! Fortunately, we finally met in Brussels this time, almost a full year has passed since the last meeting.”

It was okay that Chen Muwu didn't mention things in Italy. The mention of Italy raised Einstein's dissatisfaction to another level.

It was not that he recalled the love he had with his ex-wife Mileva on the shores of Lake Como but ended up unhappy, but that he was strongly dissatisfied with Chen Muwu's political leanings.

How could he get involved with a notorious French XX element?
A photo of the two people was published in the newspaper, with a satisfied smile on everyone's face.

In front of Planck, Einstein could not attack Chen Muwu directly, so he could only glare at him a few times.

This shocked Chen Muwu. I neither provoked you nor provoked you. What happened to Einstein?
Einstein spoke first, his tone full of dissatisfaction:
"Well, it's true that we haven't seen each other for nearly a year. Dr. Chen, I wonder if you have made any academic progress during this year, or are you just participating in politics and neglecting physics research?
"I have not been idle this year, I have been studying your quantum mechanics with great concentration.

"I just have a few small questions. I wonder if you have time now. How about the two of us discuss it here?"

There is a difference between a pro-student and a post-student. Rutherford felt sorry for Chen Muwu, who had been on the train and ship for two days and one night, and wished he could go back and have a good rest.

Einstein, on the other hand, ignored it like an academic lunatic. He hoped to defeat Chen Muwu as soon as possible, and at the same time overturn the fallacy of quantum mechanics that was full of coincidences but absolutely unreliable.

Chen Muwu had a troubled expression on his face, secretly admiring his foresight.

Fortunately, he deceived Wittgenstein in advance and invited this powerful philosopher as foreign aid to debate and compete with his opponent Einstein, who was a bit paranoid about quantum mechanics. He could sit back and sit on the Diaoyutai with peace of mind.

"Let's wait for another day, Professor Einstein. First, it's not too early today, so don't delay Professor Planck's rest. Second, we have a new friend in Cambridge this time. He is also very knowledgeable in the study of quantum mechanics." My thoughts. Let me introduce you two to each other sometime. Maybe we can create stronger sparks between you."

"Yes, yes! Albert, Dr. Chen has just arrived in Brussels. You have to let him rest before talking. This Solvay Conference has five or six days, which is enough for all academic discussions. You don't need to So anxious.”

Planck also keenly captured the tense atmosphere that suddenly filled this small room, and immediately stood up to smooth things over.

"Chen, is it possible that the new friend you mentioned is better at quantum mechanics than you are?"

Even if Planck said this, Einstein still couldn't help but ask.

"Well," Chen Muwu nodded seriously and told lies without blushing, "He is much better than me."

"Well, I hope you can arrange for the two of us to meet as soon as possible."

After leaving Planck and Einstein's room, Chen Muwu met with several young scholars from Germany.

The attitudes of Heisenberg and von Neumann were much more relaxed than those in Planck's room just now, except for Pauli, who had a somewhat serious expression and hated and feared Chen Muwu.

This saved Chen Muwu, who wanted to ease the relationship, a lot of trouble. If he hadn't met here today, he would have had to go to Pauli again during the meeting. After all, he finally got Chaplin's signature. It is estimated that the situation will be even more embarrassing then.

"Werner, I heard that you have left the Institute of Theoretical Physics in Copenhagen? After the Como Conference at the beginning of this year, Professor Bohr personally came to me to accuse me. He said that you came to Cambridge University last year, and I His best student was kidnapped."

As soon as Chen Muwu finished speaking, Heisenberg still had no reaction, but Pauli beside him became a little unhappy.

Obviously I am Bohr's best student!

However, Pauli quickly realized that Bohr, the teacher, should not have said such a thing, and behind his back.

Maybe it was the sinister Chinese in front of him who used such a vicious trick in order to sow discord between him and Bohr and Heisenberg.

Thinking of this, Pauli smiled contemptuously, and he saw through the conspiracy without any effort.

This Chen Muwu is just mediocre!
"Yes, Dr. Chen, I received an invitation from the University of Leipzig at the beginning of the year and am now a professor of theoretical physics. If you ask me, since Cambridge University is so arrogant, you should not choose to hang yourself from a tree. If you had come to Germany earlier, you would have been a professor and even the head of the department."

Hearing what his junior brother said, Pauli felt even more proud.

He couldn't help it, and the air in his lungs spurted out from his nose, making a "hum" sound.

Heisenberg is right. No matter how awesome you Chen Muwu is, you are not even a professor until now.

Earning a PhD from the University of Cambridge in one year is certainly a remarkable achievement.

But a few years later, if the title of doctor is still followed by the last name, it can only be regarded as a joke.

But Chen Muwu's next words quickly made Pauli stop laughing.

"Werner, I just met Professor Planck, and his words were the same as yours.

"He still persuaded me to go to the University of Berlin, and said that the positions of professor and department chair were all reserved for him."
