Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 70 19 Cuts from the Huda Ren Chen Hanchen

As the best university in the UK, Cambridge University naturally has many top scholars.

Many of these scholars have received royal canonization for various merits, and the title of "Sir (Sir)" can be placed in front of their names.

Even those who have not been honored are mostly fellows of various societies such as the Royal Society, the Royal Society of Letters, the Royal Astronomical Society, etc., and they can also use titles that symbolize honor.

They are all more or less related to the royal family, so when the second prince of the old King George V was about to get married, the train station in Cambridgeshire was crowded with famous teachers who wanted to take the train to London to attend the wedding ceremony .

If one is not careful, a train derails on the railway, and it is likely to rewrite the development trajectory of various disciplines such as the history of human science, literature and philosophy.

Cavendish Laboratory also left many people, only Chadwick, the assistant research director, was left in charge of managing the group of students who remained in the laboratory. Don't let them mess up during the royal celebration. What a big deal.

By the way, Chadwick is already the sixth Nobel laureate that Chen Muwu met after the trip, following the dean of Trinity College, Old Thomson.

Kapitza and Blackett have found a gamma ray source, and are using the gamma rays emitted by it to bombard the graphite plate, trying to find the trajectory of recoil electrons in the cloud chamber, and record them on the film through photographic technology .

Whoever they were, felt that this would be an amazing discovery, so they went up full of fighting spirit and confidence.

Because Rutherford was busy with various preparations before the royal wedding, he had no time to take care of Chen Muwu, so he could only tell him to arrange experiments for him after the Duke of York's wedding was over.

So in the past few days, Chen Muwu had nothing to do, and he didn't know where he bought a lot of lead plates. He was holding a hammer at the door of the laboratory, knocking like a vicious blacksmith.

Tired from the experiment, Kapitsa, who occasionally went out to smoke to relieve fatigue, saw Chen Muwu waving a hammer and hitting the lead plate, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Chen, what are you doing again?"

"I am building a suit of armor for myself. After I wear it, I will become a knight and be invited to watch the royal wedding!"

Talking about people when seeing people, talking nonsense when seeing ghosts, facing the joke-loving Kapiza, Chen Muwu couldn't help but make a joke.

He is not a citizen of the Great Empire, so he doesn't have such a strong desire to see their master get married, and then he is very moved.

"It was just a joke. To be honest, I always feel that the penetrating power of gamma rays is too strong. It should not be a good thing for the human body to be exposed to it for a long time.

"That's why I found the most impenetrable lead plates for gamma rays. I feel that putting them on my body will make me feel more at ease when I enter the laboratory."

There is no need to hide secrets from his colleagues in the next few years. Chen Muwu plans to spread it to the entire laboratory after he has made this lead radiation protection suit in place.

After hearing Chen Muwu's answer, Kapiza didn't take it to heart at all. He felt that Chen Muwu was worrying for nothing.

So he laughed and said: "Chen, you are too cautious. Gamma rays are no different from the light around you, they are just electromagnetic waves. I have never seen you pass by under the sun every day, like an old noble woman Same, put on a parasol?"

After speaking, the shredded tobacco in Kapiza's pipe had also been burned out, and he took out the tobacco pouch he carried with him, intending to refill a new one.

"Smoking less, it's not good for your health."

Chen Muwu advised again kindly.

Kapica wanted to tell him a few more jokes about tobacco, but when he thought about which country Chen Muwu came here from, he immediately shut his mouth obediently.

Kapitsa also resealed the opened tobacco pouch in his hand, then left awkwardly, turned around and entered the laboratory again.

……

When Rutherford returned to Cambridgeshire from London with all his colleagues and lovers, Chen Muwu's lead plate radiation protection suit was also made to be inseparable.

Chen Muwu's suits were custom-made by his eldest brother from the top tailors in the Sea Concession.

After wearing the lead plates on his body, Chen Muwu could no longer wear these suits, so he had to change into the wide-sleeved gown issued by Trinity College. The characters who come out of it.

However, in the near future, Chen Muwu would have little chance to wear this anti-radiation suit.

Because as soon as Rutherford returned to Cambridge, he began to help Chen Muwu plan and prepare for the experiment.

At first, Rutherford was worried that Chen Muwu would open his mouth on the experimental equipment and make excessive demands.

Although the Cavendish Laboratory has a very high prestige in the world, in 1923, the total annual budget of the entire laboratory was less than [-] pounds, which also included the salaries of several professors and teaching staff.

However, what reassured Rutherford was that Chen Muwu did not ask for any expensive and sophisticated equipment.

He said all that was needed was a sunny darkroom, a few liquid containers made of high-transparency glass, a few monochromatic filters, a few pieces of uranium glass, and a spectrometer.

The items mentioned by Chen Muwu are all ready-made in the Cavendish Laboratory, and there is no need to purchase additional equipment or manufacture new equipment.

However, while asking Chen Muwu to provide these instruments and props, Rutherford also secretly wondered, what does he want these optical instruments that can be seen everywhere?
Could it be that China, located in the Far East, is so poor that it can't even make up these equipment?
If this is the case, why does Chen Muwu look like the son of a wealthy family no matter in his clothes or in his behavior?

Of course it's not like what Rutherford thought. In fact, Chen Muwu can perfectly reproduce this experiment in China.

But when he was in China, his mind was full of Compton scattering and Einstein's gravitational field equation, and he completely ignored the existence of this experiment.

Until a few weeks ago, Chen Muwu suddenly thought of Rayleigh scattering when he was sailing in the blue Indian Ocean on the ship Anrui Helidu, looking at the blue light reflected by the sea.

When he thought of Rayleigh scattering, he remembered the Raman scattering he had learned and done in the two professional courses of "History of Physics" and "Modern Physics Experiments".

On the ship, Chen Muwu occasionally wrote and drew on paper when he was sober. It was the principle and formula of Raman scattering.

Chandrasekara Venkata Raman, a British Indian whose caste is the most noble Brahmin, won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930 and was the first physicist in India and even Asia to win the Nobel Prize in Physics scientist. 【1】

However, in this time and space, it would be difficult for him to be the first to win this honor. After all, now, Chen Muwu appeared out of thin air.
