Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 73 Chapter 22

Athletes can be said to be the highest-status group of students in the entire Cambridge University.

Cambridge University, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, has a set of cumbersome and complicated school rules, which involve all aspects of a student's daily study and life.

A student's first priority is, of course, his studies, and being late for class is a heinous crime, except for athletes.

Every day, these athletes of rowing, rugby and track and field always rushed to the classroom just before the class was about to start. Their faces were flushed and their clothes were soaked in sweat.

But the teachers and professors on the podium have no complaints about this. After all, being able to suppress Oxford University in various projects is one of the most important goals of the entire Cambridge University.

Among these athletes, rowers are undoubtedly the ones with the highest status. The rowing battle between the two universities of Oxford and Cambridge began in 1829 and has been nearly 100 years today.

Every year on the game day, a large number of tourists come to watch the game on both sides of the nearly seven miles of the Thames River in London. There are huge crowds of people and thunderous cheers. It has become one of the biggest festivals in London every summer.

Walking along the Kang River, Chen Muwu not only saw these bullying rowers, but also saw a few swimmers coming towards him.

Regardless of men and women in this era, their swimsuits are very masculine, and even the part above the navel cannot be exposed to the air.

So when Chen Muwu saw the one-piece men's swimsuits worn by several male students, he couldn't help being taken aback.

His first reaction was that he thought he had encountered a group of transvestites, and he thought, why are the Brits in the 20s so relaxed?
It wasn't until he saw their wet clothes and the drops of water falling from their hair and skin that Chen Muwu realized that he was thinking too much at first.

Chen Muwu himself is a swimming enthusiast, so he stepped forward and asked, "Gentlemen, have you just finished swimming?"

When several students saw that the person blocking the way was an East Asian, they couldn't help feeling a little unhappy again.

Because the Lincheng robbery on the Jinpu Railway half a month ago not only caused a stir in China, but also appeared in newspapers in Europe and the United States.

It was just because the robbers kidnapped a few foreigners by mistake, and released the old, weak, sick, disabled and women among them. However, the fear of Chinese in the hearts of white people recurred again, and some newspapers even reported this The robbery of the train was exaggeratedly called the second of the "Boxer" Movement.

In addition, there is a silent film released in the UK this year, which is also the first film based on the Fu Manchu series of novels, The Mystery of Dr. Fu Manchu (The Mystery of Dr. Fu Manchu).

College students who are easy to accept new things are the main audience of movies now.

Whenever a new movie is released, they will go to the movie theater as soon as possible, and after watching it, they will talk about the plot with their friends and classmates at the tea party and in the bar.

So these students discriminated against the East Asian in front of them very much in their hearts, and it even showed it in their eyes and facial expressions.

No one was willing to answer his question, only one of them, who felt that he was somewhat sympathetic, told him with "compassion": "That's right, we just finished swimming."

Of course, Chen Muwu could also see the unavoidable disgust on their faces.

He didn't wear the academy's gown today, and the suit on his body was crumpled from doing experiments in the laboratory all day.

In the eyes of the other party, there is a high probability that he regards himself as a tourist from other places, and he is also a sloppy Chinese, right?
It has been half a year since time travel, but he has never been in the water. Seeing the swimsuit and water drops on the other party made Chen Muwu, who is a duck, feel very itchy.

He originally wanted to ask further, where did they swim, but it seemed that the student opposite him didn't intend to answer himself properly, so why bother to humiliate himself?
It would be better to ask Blackett later. After all, he came to Cambridge a few years earlier than himself, and he should be much more familiar with the surrounding environment of the school than he is.

A group of people and one person passed by, and before going out a few steps, Chen Muwu heard laughing and laughing voices from behind.

Needless to say, the target of this ridicule, if nothing else, should be himself.

……

Friday afternoon, June 1923, 6.

On the train from Cambridgeshire to London, Chen Muwu mentioned to Blackett what happened by the River Cam a few days ago.

Blackett finally invited two foreign partners, Chen Muwu and Kapitsa, to his home in London for the three-day holiday of the king's birthday, a break from the repeated experiments that lasted more than a month, and a change. Change your mind.

He and Kapitsa had taken enough pictures of recoil neutrons to wait until the holidays were over before starting to write their dissertation manually.

And Chen Muwu has already stuffed the third paper into the mailbox and mailed it out. Calculating the time, it is [-]% too late to be published in the June issue of "Natural Science Society" published today. If there is no accident, it should be published in next month's publication published on.

This time, Chen Muwu did not translate the paper into German and sent it to Planck.

Taking British money to do experiments in British laboratories, he was also a little embarrassed to eat inside and outside.

The above sentence is a joke. In fact, the "Physical Yearbook" is more theoretical. Like Chen Muwu's pure experimental paper, it is enough to publish it in the "Natural Science Journal".

In addition, he also learned everything. Like Rutherford, he wrote a short newsletter and sent it to the "Nature" magazine. Although neither Raman nor Sulian's physicists could Do this experiment almost five years in advance.

Chen Muwu, who had just finished writing a thesis, had a rare few days of leisure. Not only did he agree to Blackett's invitation, but he also brought his new younger brother Ye Gongchao with him after obtaining the permission of his host.

Hearing Chen Muwu's description of what happened by the Kang River that day, Blackett was a little shy, and couldn't help feeling ashamed and blushing for what his compatriots had done.

He was so nervous that he spoke incoherently: "Chen, it's not like this, it's not like this, they, they only represent a small group of ignorant British people, most of us British people are still very friendly."

Seeing Blackett's anxious look, Chen Muwu was amused and helpless.

Maybe Blackett himself has no malice towards Chen Muwu because of his talent and learning, but it doesn't mean that the majority of British people are like Blackett.

Anyway, his landlord, Mrs. Brown, was always cautious when greeting Chen Muwu every day, for fear that her actions would offend this Chinese who was inherently barbaric.

"Patrick, don't pay attention to these details. I don't want to complain to you about those people. I just want to ask you if there is a swimming pool around Cambridge. Summer is coming soon. You have to go to the water to cool off, don't you?"
