In "The Forbidden City, the disaster of Huilu came from the sky, and the Beida firefighting team made great achievements bravely.Counting afterwards, the loss of Gong Zhongbao was quite small, fortunately! "

……

During the Chinese New Year, Chen Muwu, who was busy visiting relatives during the New Year, naturally had no time to spare, so he read newspapers one by one.

He only listened to the news from the north from his relatives talking about the mountains from all over the world.

But Chen Muqiao found that his third younger brother would occasionally hum a few words, "Who said that those who stand in the light are heroes?" The tune didn't look like Pingtan or Shaoxing opera.

After a year of peace and stability, Chen Muwu returned to his unit, the Lianglu Railway Administration, to sell the vacation on the first day after the holiday.

The matter of going to Bei University to give lectures had long been published in the newspapers, especially the last one, which was edited by Zhang Henshui, making Chen Muwu's image even taller.

What time travel, what Zhuge Liang returned to the past from the future, so he can know 500 years before and [-] years later, the same is true for Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng, Liu Bowen and others.

After reading the news, the prostitutes who are active in the countryside, the gods of various cults in Limen, and so on, discovered a new way of cheating and abducting, so they also began to claim that they have mastered time travel The future man of technology is an all-knowing and omnipotent prophet, and he has harvested a wave of incense money from believers in leeks.

The combination of science and superstition is also a miraculous phenomenon that can only be produced in today's ignorant civil society.

The eldest brother told him that in the music classes of some elementary schools in the concession, the students have already begun to teach the students to sing the song "Orchid Grass" newly published by Tianyi "Yi Shi Bao".

When Chen Muwu was waiting for the tram on his way to and from get off work, he could often hear elementary school students in uniform humming this song.

Colleagues can't help but look at this junior who has gained fame after returning from his lectures at Bei University.

It's not that they simply want to curry favor, but the number of people who came up to him to talk about matchmaking proposals and want to be relatives with Chen Muwu has increased visibly with the naked eye.

It was still the concierge of that unit. Seeing that Chen Muwu finally came back to work, he sent him the letters and packages with his name written on them that had been sent to the Railway Bureau in the past few days.

He also thoughtfully sorted out the letters in chronological order, making it easier for Chen Muwu to read.

After giving the concierge a few coins, Chen Muwu opened the letters one by one and began to read them.

The first thing he saw was the two registered mail receipts from the post office. Receiving this receipt meant that the registered mail sent before had been successfully delivered to the recipient.

The reason why Chen Muwu spent a lot of money to send the registered letter was to be sure that the two papers he had written so hard could be successfully sent to the editorial offices of the two physics journals.

On the next one, a one-penny stamp and a one-and-a-half penny stamp with the face of King George V were pasted on the envelope. Chen Muwu thought it was a receipt from the British Philosophical Journal.

But when he saw that the address on the letter was not London but Cambridge, he began to have some doubts.

Could it be that after the publication of his thesis caused a sensation in the European academic circles, Cambridge University intends to enroll him?

After opening the letter, what came into view was a beautiful cursive English calligraphy. Chen Muwu struggled to identify it for a long time before he could understand the content. He found that the facts were quite different from what he thought.

The letter stated that the paper he submitted was rejected by the Journal of Philosophy. Although he did not say the reason for the rejection, Chen Muwu knew very well that it was mostly because of his Chinese identity.

He had long expected that such a result would happen, even if Einstein recommended it, it would not help.

However, the following content in the letter took a turn for the worse. Although the above paper will not be published in the "Philosophical Journal", relying on the recommendation of Sir J. J. Thomson, the "Proceedings of Natural Science" of the Royal Society of England is considering publishing the paper in their February issue.

Mountain darkly, vista.

Chen Muwu gasped. He naturally knew how big a Buddha J.J. Thomson was, and the Journal of Natural Sciences should be the most authoritative scientific journal in the English-speaking world. , I didn't even dare to expect to contribute to this journal, so I chose the "Philosophical Journal" as the next best thing.

At the end of the letter, the writer suggested to him that if there are papers to be published in the future, please do not send them to the Philosophical Journal, but directly to the Natural Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society.

Seeing that the letter was signed by Arthur Eddington, Chen Muwu finally knew why the letter was sent from Cambridge.

It turns out that the telegram that Einstein said was not sent to the editorial department of "Science Magazine", but to his good friend and follower.

After learning that the paper might not only be published in the Journal of Natural Sciences, but also recommended by J.J. Thomson, Chen Muwu felt that Einstein had really done him a big favor. , can be regarded as the first noble person he met besides his family after crossing.

It seems that I really should find a time to raise the question of the cosmological constant and express my gratitude to this great scientist.

Chen Muwu's letter was mailed from Ghaihai on November 22 last year, while the postmark on Eddington's letter was sent from Cambridgeshire on January [-] this year, and the delivery postmark of Ghaihai is The [-]nd of this month.

In other words, his communication with the UK this time took him three months on the road.

Corresponding four times in a year, no matter how many genius-like ideas he has in his brain, he can't resist the time wasted on the way.

The German side sent a large letter, which contained a copy of his first thesis and a letter, telling him that this thesis would be published in the "Annals of Physics" in January.

Seeing that the thesis he wrote finally appeared in a journal in printed form, Chen Muwu's heart that had been hanging for several months finally fell into his stomach.

In any case, he is now relying on a paper that will cause great controversy, he has driven a wedge in the physics world, and barely has a place to stay.

In the future, how big a hole this little wedge can make will depend on his own ability.
