Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 140 The Most Expensive Meal in History 88

Seeing that the Crown Prince of Sweden was still a little bit unwilling to give up, Chen Muwu said in his heart, it seems that he can only use a big killer to scare you.

"His Royal Highness, I think you should have read the news. Just last May, didn't a train carrying several foreigners be taken hostage by local robbers?

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case, who can guarantee that such a thing will not happen during your journey in China?
"Also, if you were unlucky that time, and the train crashed directly into a mountain or fell into the water after derailment, then you might not even have a chance of surviving."

The Lincheng carjacking case mentioned by Chen Muwu obviously shocked Prince Gustav Adolf. This news that shocked the world last year left a great shadow in the hearts of foreigners.

"Mr. Chen, what you said really helped me a lot. It seems that I may have to think carefully about visiting your country."

The Crown Prince of Sweden has already fallen into a low pressure at this time. Seeing that the time seems to be ripe for Chen Muwu to dig a hole, he has already jumped in. It is time to make a big deal for him.

"His Royal Highness, I understand your feelings very well, but in fact, if you want to understand Chinese culture, you don't have to travel thousands of miles to the east, and there is another way.

"I was able to come to Europe because I was lucky enough to meet Dr. Einstein when I was in Shanghai, and I was recommended by him to start my career in Europe.

"In China, many people are eager to have more extensive exchanges with Europe and the world, but most of them cannot do so because of poverty.

"Many of them are better than me, but what they lack compared to me is just a chance.

"Since your Royal Highness is very interested in Chinese culture, why not set up a fund to invite a certain number of Chinese scholars every year to help them come to Europe and Sweden to have academic exchanges with you?

"This will not only give you a deep understanding of Chinese culture, but also help them realize their dreams, which is a move that kills two birds with one stone.

"If you can go further in the future, I think you can also follow the example of the Oriental College of the University of London and set up a similar Chinese college in Stockholm, Sweden, and hire more Chinese teachers, so that you and your people can learn more. To understand and learn Chinese culture well?"

Chen Muwu is a fool. If the Crown Prince of Sweden can really listen to what he said, then it will be tantamount to prostitution of a school.

Even if he can't fully listen to it now, it is equivalent to planting a seed in his heart, allowing it to take root and sprout in it silently.

If Chen Muwu has accumulated enough money in the future, finds the Swedish crown prince who likes Chinese culture, and puts forward his plan to build a school, maybe it will be much smoother then.

After meeting with the Crown Prince of Sweden at the British Embassy today, Chen Muwu suddenly thought that Sweden might be a very good choice for him to establish a school in the future.

Although this country has become more and more strange in the future, public intellectuals, refugees, and anti-intellectualism are prevalent. The most representative one is a big-faced environmental protection girl who is not liked by the East and the West.

But for now, Sweden is indeed a relatively high-ranking choice in Chen Muwu's plan.

One is that Sweden is a neutral country, and its military virtues are relatively abundant, and the combat effectiveness of the army is not bad, which makes Germany a little bit afraid of it. In the end, it has always maintained a neutral position in World War II. It is not like the unlucky Norway next door. It is also a neutral country, but it is still occupied by Germany.

Second, Sweden's industrialization level is also very good, and its domestic mineral resources are also very rich, especially its uranium reserves can rank among the top few in Europe.A strong level of industrialization, plus uranium, plus Chen Muwu, a Ph.D. in nuclear physics, what the combination of these three things means, of course, needless to say.

The third is that during the Cold War, Sweden neither favored Warsaw Pact nor NATO, and it was the first Western country to recognize New China and establish diplomatic relations with it.

If everything can develop ideally, then Chen Muwu feels that he can develop secretly in Sweden during World War II.

After Haiyan Heqing in the future, a large number of scientific and technical personnel he trained in Sweden should be able to return to serve the country very conveniently. Although they may be obstructed by some countries with ulterior motives, it is better than being directly under house arrest If you can't get up and go back to your country, you must be strong.

Chen Muwu was very thankful that he did not reject the invitation from the British embassy two days ago, and he was also a little grateful that this stupid Duke of York had given him such a big gift.

Prince Gustav probably also listened to Chen Muwu's flicker, he showed a thoughtful expression, and replied after a long while: "Mr. Think about it after you go back."

Seeing that after this topic, the dinner was about to turn into a silent scene, Prince Albert, the initiator, couldn't sit still, and hurriedly changed the subject: "Mr. graduates."

Chen Muwu said in his heart, I know it all too well.

Although the members of the Apostolic Society were all from rich or noble backgrounds, because of their exposure to advanced umm doctrine ideas, at the regular gatherings every Saturday, the topic that everyone occasionally discussed was how to push forward. British royal family.

At this time, the second prince in front of him became the object of their teasing.

So Chen Muwu not only knew that the Duke of York was a graduate of Trinity College, but also knew that during the year he was studying at Cambridge University, he didn't take a few classes in person at all, and all of them were done by servants.

But it was impossible for him to talk about such a topic in front of the person involved on such an occasion, so he just listened to the Duke of York continue without changing his expression.

"Mr. Chen, you have made great achievements in physics, astronomy and this Olympic Games. As an alumnus, I plan to donate a sum of money to Trinity College as a special scholarship for you. You What do you think?"

Well, that's about it.

The second son of the Windsor Dynasty family is quite good at being a man. His Highness can earn 1 pounds in a bet. This scholarship is less money, so it is not suitable, right?

But Chen Muwu wasn't satisfied with this, it was rare to meet such a rich man, and he didn't make a big deal of it, which would be a disservice to both the Duke of York and himself.

"His Royal Highness, thank you for your kindness, but Cambridge University has provided me with a scholarship, which is enough for my daily life. I think your money should be used in a more appropriate place.

"In the Cavendish laboratory where I am currently working, the annual funding of the entire laboratory is only more than 9000 pounds, which can barely maintain the normal operation of the laboratory, and every shilling and every penny Coins must be counted carefully.

"Last year, because of insufficient experimental funds, we couldn't afford to buy a vacuum pump that the Americans cost [-] pounds. If it weren't for my good friend, Duke de Broglie of France, I paid the money for me and brought it back from the United States. If this equipment is acquired, then perhaps the results of this experiment will be published by other laboratories in other countries.

"Also last year, I went to the Observatory of Cambridge University and wanted to borrow the astronomical telescope there to observe a certain astronomical phenomenon.

"But when I got there, I was told that the largest telescope at Cambridge University was built 90 years ago, and its aperture was far from supporting the astronomical observation I wanted to make.

"At that time, I didn't give up. I stayed at the observatory and insisted on trying to operate it. That's why I discovered the ninth planet by accident. You can say that I was very lucky, but in fact, behind this luck, there was a deep hidden truth. Unlucky.

"So I think, you don't need to prepare a separate scholarship for me, but I hope you can invest the money in places where he should go, such as providing more scientific research funds for the Cavendish Laboratory.

"I really don't want to see Cambridge University being the number one school in the world, but being overtaken by those rich Yankees behind the scenes."

Although Chen Muwu's words were very selfless and emotional, he also knew very well that the scholarship that originally belonged to him should not be cancelled, after all, the Duke of York was not short of the money.

"Okay, Mr. Chen, I have been away from school for several years, and I don't know that the school is facing such a predicament now. Now, I have decided to submit to the Cavendish Laboratory in my own name in addition to your scholarship. Donate £[-] to support scientific research.

"After returning to China, I will send someone to handle this matter. If you encounter other difficulties in Cambridge after this, you can also write to me directly, and I will do my best to help you solve it."

If Chen Muwu had spoken to him in private, then perhaps Prince Albert would not be as generous as he is now.

Coincidentally, on this occasion, there is such an outsider as Crown Prince Gustav Adolf of Sweden.

The Duke of York, whose scars were uncovered, had to save face for his school and his country.

"Then I will replace my teacher, Sir Rutherford, and all the staff of the Cavendish Laboratory, to express my gratitude to His Royal Highness the Duke."

So this small-scale dinner finally ended in a relatively harmonious atmosphere.

After leaving the British embassy and returning to the house where he lived for the past few days, the first thing Chen Muwu did was to find a cook and ask him to get him something to eat quickly.

British food is really nothing to eat. If this dinner was held at the Swedish embassy, ​​he, Chen Muwu, would still be able to eat a few meatballs.

Of course he didn't expect that the initiator of this dinner was actually the crown prince of Sweden. He had planned so hard to prevent his daughter from meeting Chen Muwu.

However, having a meal at the British embassy gave the Cavendish Laboratory an annual funding of [-] pounds.

Now that the purchasing power of the pound is converted into the future, this meal is definitely more expensive than Buffett's lunch.

The key is that "Buffett" pays.

Chen Muwu hoped that the more meals like this the better, he didn't mind eating more.

I don't know if the teacher Rutherford will regret it if he gets to know the news after he returns to school from France after receiving four gold medals at the closing ceremony, and why he didn't have another daughter.

There are too many proud students and too few daughters, not enough to marry!

Of course, even if Rutherford really had a daughter, Chen Muwu never wanted to become brother-in-law with Fowler.

Because he felt that he, now seemed to have his own heart.
