Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 67 16 Mindless and Unhappy

Leaving Rutherford's office, Kapica came out from nowhere and blocked Chen Muwu's way with a dissatisfied face: "Chen, didn't we agree yesterday to visit the school together today? Why did you go to find you in the morning?" , but you disappeared? Now you are in the crocodile's office?

"Oh, you may not know that the crocodile is what we call the boss behind our backs. How about it, my nickname is not bad, right?"

Kapitsa, who was still angry at first, couldn't help but laugh first.

Chen Muwu originally thought that Kapica's suggestion of taking him to visit the campus yesterday was just a polite remark, but he didn't expect the other party to take it seriously, so he had to say a few words of apology.

"Come on, I'll show you around the lab!"

This time, without waiting for Chen Muwu to reply, Kapiza led the way ahead on his own.

"This is the office of Professor Ralph Fowler, son-in-law of the Alligator, and our only theorist here."

"This is the office of Professor Charles Wilson. The cloud chamber he invented is now a good tool for our laboratory to observe the trajectory of microscopic charged particles..."

"This is the warehouse..."

"This is where the glassblowers..."

"Easily solder something here..."

……

After walking around, Kapica led Chen Muwu into the open laboratory on the first floor, and came to a table covered with oil stains, and various experimental equipments that were also dark were placed on the table.

"Chen, this is my experimental table. I use half of the table, and the other half belongs to the stupid big Englishman opposite me who is in the same group as me but is always silent.

"Hey, Patrick! Chen is here, put down your work and come over to say hello!"

Chen Muwu felt that his 1.8m[-] figure was considered tall in this era, but he didn't expect that the Englishman walking towards him looked a few centimeters taller than himself.

No wonder when he met Kapiza yesterday, he sighed why he was also tall.

"Chen, hello, my name is Patrick Blackett, from London, nice to meet you."

Blackett's voice was as thin as a mosquito, which didn't quite match his tall and mighty figure.

He and Kapitsa are such a mindless and unhappy couple.

However, this is... the third one?
In less than 24 hours since he moved into the rental house of Mrs. Brown's family last night, Chen Muwu has already interacted with three people who have won the Nobel Prize or will win the Nobel Prize in the future.

A small Cavendish laboratory is really full of talents, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Blackett won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1948 for improving the Wilson cloud chamber method and for his discoveries in the fields of nuclear physics and cosmic rays.

During the several years in the Cavendish Laboratory, he has been suppressed by Kapitsa, and he will never get the best student scholarship in the laboratory. He finally suppressed his classmate in the Nobel Prize winning time.

Blackett is best known not for his past as president of the Royal Society but for one of his students, Robert Oppenheimer.

Blackett was not Oppenheimer's mentor, at best he had mentored him in the Cavendish laboratory for a few months.

But it was during those few months that Oppenheimer nearly killed Blackett.

In 1924, Oppenheimer graduated from Harvard University under Bridgeman and entered Cambridge University to study.

That's right, his advisor is exactly the Bridgeman who supervised Ye Qisun's thesis, so they are still brothers and sisters.

Oppenheimer applied to enter the Cavendish Laboratory, but was rejected by Rutherford, but fortunately, the kind old Thomson took him in and arranged him to study under Blackett.

A person who was supposed to engage in theory insisted on entering the laboratory. As a result, Oppenheimer simply couldn't bear the complicated and repetitive work in the laboratory day after day, and his irritability accumulated more and more.

Finally he couldn't take it anymore, and after putting an apple soaked in cyanide on Blackett's desk at Christmas, Oppenheimer ran to Paris alone.

Fortunately, Brackett did not eat the apple, otherwise, he would be 30 years ahead of Alan Turing and become No.1 of this method of death.

Even more fortunately, Oppenheimer's parents traveled thousands of miles from the United States to the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, and relied on their eloquence to save their son from being expelled from Cambridge University.

They also chose a lame excuse that Oppenheimer was mentally ill.

Not long after that, Oppenheimer transferred from Cambridge to the University of Göttingen in Germany, and devoted himself to his beloved theoretical physics.

Looking at the unsmiling and silly big man in front of him, Chen Muwu stretched out his hand to him: "Nice to meet you, Patrick. By the way, do you like apples?"

Blackett shook his head and said nothing.

It is estimated that the stuffy gourd in front of him could not make a loud fart with three hammers, so he turned his head and asked Kapitsa next to him: "Peter, Patrick, what experiments have you been doing recently?"

"I am using the cloud chamber to take pictures of the alpha particles that are deflected after passing through a strong magnetic field to record the trajectory, and Patrick is trying to improve these old cloud chambers in the laboratory."

It seems that Kapitsa has not yet thrown himself into the arms of low-temperature physics, nor has Blackett succeeded in improving the Wilson cloud chamber.

But Chen Muwu did not want to snatch the Nobel Prize in Physics from these two.

Kapica was able to win the award at the age of 1978 in 84 because the jury considered him to be too old, so he had to give this award to scientists in the red country.

Two other people who shared the award with him, Robert Wilson and Arno Penzias, are because of the discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation, which has nothing to do with Kapitsa's research direction, low temperature physics.

Before Kapitsa, his compatriot Lev Landau also had a car accident, and the jury thought that time was running out, so the Swedish ambassador to Sulian was invited to the hospital ward to present the award to him instead of the king.

In order to improve the cloud chamber, Blackett took 10,000+ photos. It was pure perseverance and persistence that he won the Nobel Prize.

Not being rude, Kapica also asked Chen Muwu about him: "Chen, what mission did the crocodile arrange for you?"

"Director Rutherford said that he is going to London to attend the little prince's wedding, and he will arrange tasks for me after he comes back." Chen Muwu said "frankly".

"So, the crocodile is going to leave for a while?" Hearing the news, Kapiza became excited immediately, "In that case, shall we play some cards tonight to celebrate the news?"

"Peter, don't say such things loudly in the laboratory, maybe the director will appear behind you in a second." Chen Muwu kindly advised.

Hearing what he said, Kapitsa immediately approached his mouth in fright, and he looked back and forth, left and right with a guilty conscience, wanting to confirm whether Rutherford had appeared.

"Okay, let's stop teasing you. You said that you and Patrick are in the same group, and I happen to have no projects these days, so I will join your group temporarily, okay?"

"No problem at all."

Kapitza answered in the affirmative, and Blackett nodded.

　Thank you for your rewards, monthly tickets and recommended tickets.
