Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 445 Chapter 184 Founding the Chunguang Mechanical Institute
1930, summer.

The new multi-millionaire Chen Muwu is wearing an Arab robe, sunglasses and a headscarf, sitting on a camel and walking in the Sahara Desert in the hinterland of Cyrenaica, North Africa.

When all the major countries in the world were affected by the Great Depression in the United States and were unable to extricate themselves from the financial crisis, Chen Muwu may be one of the very few people in the world who profited from the financial crisis.

Through the relationship between the Oppenheimer family and the Wallenberg family, after "paying (dǎdiǎn)" a large fee, he transferred all the leeks he harvested from the American financial market to the Prince of Stockholm. on the college’s account.

Oppenheimer, who had always made financial investments with his teacher, was very happy because he also made money from the financial crisis that affected the world that he could not make as a university professor in his lifetime.

Thinking that he had been very worried about Chen Muwu's investment failure, Oppenheimer couldn't help laughing out loud at his original stupidity.

If there is only one person in the world who can make money from the financial crisis, then there will definitely be no one else besides his teacher Chen Muwu.

However, Mr. Marcus Wallenberg Jr., who also made money with Chen Muwu, could not laugh.

Compared to Oppenheimer, if he could earn hundreds of thousands of dollars from the stock market at once, it would definitely be a very high income.

But for a member of the extremely wealthy and wealthy Wallenberg family, all this money was a drop in the bucket for little Marcus.

He was even more distressed than those who had lost all their money in the financial crisis. He regretted very much why he could not fully trust Chen Muwu in the first place, so that he only invested 100,000 US dollars in principal.

Of course, the one who made the most money from this speculation was Chen Muwu, who had started planning a few years in advance.

Although he paid a large toll, the amount of money Chen Muwu finally got was still considerable.

Moreover, the final destination of this toll money is not the government in Washington, DC, but the hands of the financiers on Wall Street.

Chen Muwu has formed a good relationship among the people behind the scenes in the United States. Now everyone among the financial giants in the United States knows that this world-famous physicist is actually an investment expert.

Many people sent telegrams and even came to Stockholm, Sweden, to visit Chen Muwu, hoping to learn more about financial insider information from the New York Stock Exchange investor who had the highest return rate in 1929.

For this reason, Chen Muwu also set up a Prince's Foundation, because every guest of Chen Muwu, after meeting him after coming to Stockholm, unanimously proposed that they want to make a sum of money for Prince's College, just for this. I can get closer to Dr. Chen.

In addition to donations, these wealthy businessmen from the United States also invariably repeated one sentence, which was to curse the United States' unreasonable anti-Chinese policy, which hurt the heart of Chen Muwu, a genius, and made him unwilling to spread the word on the North American continent. Knowledge.

And everyone also promised that when they return to the United States, they will lobby President Hoover and the members of the two houses of Congress to ask them to repeal this inhumane and unreasonable discriminatory bill as soon as possible.

Regarding this statement, Chen Muwu expressed his gratitude on the surface, but in his heart he was very disdainful.

Hoover was already deeply troubled by the financial crisis, so how could he find the time to pass this substantive bill?

It has to be said that through this financial crisis, Prince's College has become one of the richest top universities in the world. Its financial level is even comparable to Trinity College of the University of Cambridge, which has a lot of land and investments in the UK and around the world.

——Of course, Stockholm Prince's College is much more generous than Trinity College. Chen Muwu is really willing to spend money when he has money.

Riding on this east wind, Prince's College has carried out a new round of large-scale construction. Laboratories in various disciplines such as chemistry, geology, biology, etc. have been built one after another, and the salaries paid to professors have also "shot out." Europe, Go to the World" and reach the top level of universities around the world in order to better attract talents.

Chen Muwu also put his hands into the military industry. Through the relationship of the Wallenberg family, Chen Muwu introduced Krupp's arms production line from Germany, Sweden's friendly neighbor.

He also used his reputation in China to sell the arms he produced to East Asia. Whether it was the Guangxi Clan, the Sichuan Army, or the Northeast Army, as long as the price was reasonable, Chen Muwu swallowed up all their orders.

Of course, this arms production is just a cover for Chen Muwu. His real purpose of entering the military industry is actually for the next move.

Stockholm Prince's College and the Swedish Defense Ministry have joined forces to establish an aircraft research and development unit.

In the 1920s when piston aircraft were popular, Chen Muwu persuaded researchers from the Swedish defense sector to directly study jet aircraft so that they could overtake in corners.

Throughout 1929, Chen Muwu, who was engaged in economics, scientific research and education, was very busy and wished he could grow three heads and six arms like Nezha.

However, even though he was so busy that he was dizzy, Chen Muwu still took time out. In the last month of 1929, he went to the City Hall in Stockholm, the same city as Prince's College, to receive his second Nobel Prize in Physics.

Unlike the previous time when he won the Nobel Prize in Physics, the jury of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences did not want to award the prize to him. This time, the jury awarded the prize to Chen Muwu again without any hesitation.

On the one hand, this is because the Swedish Crown Prince and the Swedish royal family are exerting subtle pressure behind the scenes, and on the other hand, because Chen Muwu, who moved his scientific research site to Stockholm, can be regarded as half of his own people. Of course, the main reason is that Chen Muwu won the award this time. Well deserved.

If the discovery of "neutrons" + "positrons" and a series of other achievements in the discovery process together could not win the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1929, then the jury really didn't know. Who should this award be awarded to?

Different from the Beiyang period, the newly-installed Tingjing government in China attaches great importance to the Nobel Prize in Physics that Chen Muwu won for the second time.

They sent a high-level delegation from China to Stockholm to attend Chen Muwu's award ceremony.

Teng Jing's actions were definitely not just to ease the relationship with Chen Muwu.

They have another purpose.

That was the Great Depression that had just broken out. Instead of causing Chen Muwu to lose all his money, it actually made him a fortune.

Even though Wall Street, who hoped to establish a communication relationship with Chen Muwu, kept the matter secret, it was so outrageous that it was published in newspapers around the world.

Although we don’t know how much money Chen Muwu made during this financial crisis, everyone knows that he definitely made a lot of money, and certainly not less.

Ting Jing hopes that Chen Muwu can bring his money back to China for investment, and has come up with various policies to ensure that he will be given the most preferential status.

But no matter how eloquent the other party was, Chen Muwu never let go, and just did Tai Chi leisurely.

In the end, this so-called investment will be 100% invested in the account opened by the first lady at the Bank of the United States.

Chen Muwu didn't know how hard a person would think before he would be so stupid as to take a sheep into a tiger's mouth with money and be eaten dry by others. In the end, not even a bone was left.

In that year’s Nobel Prize speech, Chen Muwu announced another “big news” to the world.

The big news this time is not that he has made any new achievements in physics or scientific research, but that Chen Muwu announced that he will no longer participate in the selection of the Nobel Prize in Physics. Ahem, just not participating in the selection activities for the physics award.

Regarding his statement, some people think that Chen Muwu is extremely arrogant, while others think that although Chen Muwu, the only person in the world who has won the Nobel Prize in Physics twice, is qualified to say this, he should not say it.

After several years, both those who looked up to Chen Muwu and those who looked down on him finally discovered that Chen Muwu's words were indeed not arrogant, but completely factual.

At the same time, it is also because of his statement that in the next few years, many physics prize winners will be born who are considered unworthy of the Nobel Prize; there are also many people who are worried that they have not been awarded for nuclear fission, transuranic elements and other physical discoveries. I feel sorry for the Nobel Prize.

Because Chen Muwu was too busy in 1929, time moved to 1930. Dr. Chen, who was the most powerful figure in the physics world, suffered a setback from his wife.

Aif Chen felt sorry for Chen Muwu and was afraid that his body would not be able to bear it. Force your husband to stop working and take some rest.

Therefore, Chen Muwu had no time to leave the European continent in the summer of 1930, crossed the Mediterranean, and came to the Italian colony in northern Africa.

This is the second time in his life that Chen Muwu has set foot on African soil - the first time was seven years ago in 1923. At that time, he left the Sihai Sea by boat and on his way to Marseille, France, he stopped at Saide in the Suez Canal. When we arrived at the port, we disembarked and went to the shore to replenish some living supplies.

Of course, this time, Chen Muwu was not concentrating on traveling.

Except for the endless camel caravan, and the endless sky and desert, there is no other scenery within the scope of vision.

In such an almost primitive environment and conditions, it doesn’t look like a tourist.

Chen Muwu came here to fulfill one of his previous promises: to explore the oil resources hidden underground.

"Chen, what are you laughing at?"

Little Marcus, who was following Chen Muwu closely and leaning on the camel's back, was dissatisfied because he was sent to North Africa by his family to accompany Chen Muwu in oil exploration.

Hearing the question, Chen Muwu smiled and turned around: "I was wondering if we would be able to explore the specific location of the oil if we risked the risk to come to the Sahara Desert? Even if we drill a well, can we put all the previous investment into it? Earn it back?"

Little Marcus disagreed with Chen Muwu's concerns: "Chen, stop telling your Asian jokes, it's not funny at all.

"Do you know what everyone calls you now?"

Little Marcus asked a question, and then asked and answered himself: "'That damn lucky Chinese guy'.

"Everyone knows that you are lucky and can make a lot of money during the world's largest financial crisis, so I have a hunch that you will be able to drill an oil well that continuously gushes oil out.

“As for whether it will make money after the oil field development is completed?

"God, do you know what Rockefeller, the richest American in the world, did to make his fortune? Congratulations, you got the answer right, it's oil!"

Marcus Jr. is full of confidence in the prospects of North African oil.

This unfinished oil field will definitely make money, and it must make money, big money, in order to make up for the wealth that was missed by not following Chen Muwu's full investment.

But Chen Muwu is not so optimistic.

Historically, the oil resources in Libya, North Africa, were only discovered and successfully exploited in the 1950s after World War II.

Chen Muwu dug a well on this land twenty years in advance. It is conceivable that after ten years, the Battle of Cyrenaica will be more exciting than in the previous life.

Rommel, Montgomery or Eisenhower, in whose hands will the deer die?

This question is also full of unknowns.

But this problem is not a big deal to him.

When the oil company starts to make profits and gets on the right track, he will liquidate the stocks he holds, so that he can at least ensure income during droughts and floods.

Early 1930s.

The Journal of Stockholm Prince's College published several signed papers by Chen Muwu, announcing that the school's physics laboratory had discovered a series of physical phenomena such as transuranic elements and slow neutron nuclear fission.

Late 1930s.

The independent country struck big waves, and the Second World War broke out completely.

Sweden declared neutrality and was protected from the flames of war. In private, it had flirtations with both sides.

At the same time, Chen Muwu announced that in order to commemorate his teacher Rutherford and realize his wish to revitalize New Zealand’s education industry, Prince’s College branch and Ernest Rutherford Memorial University were established in Wellington, New Zealand. The school-run factory of Prince’s College also followed. Move together.

Early 1940s.

The long-range bomber jointly developed by the Royal New Zealand Air Force, New Zealand Wanhu Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, and the American Boeing Company successfully tested and was put into production.

The first atomic bomb in human history, "Miss Q", successfully exploded at the Project 918 site in the Victoria Desert of Australia. The explosion yield was on the order of tons of TNT.

The Ernest Rutherford Memorial University Chemistry Laboratory mixed naphthenic compounds and palmitic acid into gasoline to create a napalm that burned longer and was more effective.

Saturation atomic bombs and napalm bombings occurred in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Nagoya, Kokura, Kobe, Niigata, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Sendai and other places.

In 1952, after his fiftieth birthday, Chen Muwu visited the Democratic Republic of Germany and introduced the production line of Carl Zeiss Jena Company on behalf of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and quietly founded the Institute of Optical Precision Mechanics and the Institute of Semiconductors in Yichun.
