Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 160 Chapter 108

Out of courtesy, Chen Muwu welcomed Heisenberg and Pauli into his room.

Although he himself is also a guest of the Institute of Theoretical Physics, Pauli, who ran from Hamburg, Germany to Copenhagen, Denmark just to meet him, is more like a guest than Chen Muwu.

"Please have some tea."

The tea was not brought to Denmark from the UK, but was sent by the Republic of China Embassy in Denmark in Copenhagen after Chen Muwu arrived at the Institute of Theoretical Physics. It is said that they are all new tea this year.

The visitor also brought a message from Xu Zhaoxiong, Chargé d'Affaires of the Legation in Denmark, that is to invite Chen Muwu to spare time to visit the legation.

Xu Zhaoxiong should now be the person in the whole of Denmark who most hopes that Chen Muwu can stay in Denmark.

He is even stronger than Bohr's will, because as long as Chen Muwu can stay in the country where he is an envoy, it means promotion and fortune.

No matter how many times the head of the foreign ministry has changed in China, Zhu Zhaoxin, the charge d'affaires ad interim in the UK, was still rewarded several times by telegrams from the foreign ministry.

Even Chen Lu, the minister in France, was rewarded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for his logistics service because Chen Muwu won four gold medals in the Olympics.

This Chen Muwu is simply a ladder to the sky!

Although he regarded Pauli as his guest, apart from making tea, Chen Muwu did not show any other Chinese hospitality.

His attitude towards Pauli was completely different from his attitude towards Dirac before.

After all, the latter used to be Chen Muwu's roommate, while the former was just an extremely arrogant Jew whom he had never met.

And he was quite sure that there could be no more mistakes in his thesis.

Chen Muwu didn't even respond to Pauli's barrage of questions and accusations as soon as he entered the door, and the subtext of making tea himself was also very meaningful.

Chen Muwu was afraid that the two foreigners would not understand the implication, so he directly pointed out the meaning: "This is pure Chinese oolong tea, not the British method of adding sugar and milk.

"In China, tea has the effect of clearing heat and reducing internal heat. Mr. Pauli, you are too angry, please calm down first."

At the Institute of Theoretical Physics, the language usage of scientists from different countries is complex.

Although Bohr, as the professor in charge, has always emphasized that Danish, the official language of Denmark, should be used here.

But after all, there are not many native Danish physicists, and English and German are still the mainstream languages ​​in the institute.

These talented young people from all over the world may only speak a few broken Danish words when they invite enthusiastic and generous local girls to dance at the ball.

Chen Muwu didn't want to learn another local language just because of a visit of one or two months.

Even, the number of times he spoke German in the Institute of Theoretical Physics can be counted on the fingers.

The only time he stumbled and spoke German was when he asked for directions after exiting the Copenhagen train station, and when chatting with Heisenberg at the welcoming ball on the first night.

In addition, Chen Muwu has always spoken English in the institute.

Including the speeches made by two native speakers of German just now, Chen Muwu still spoke English.

Heisenberg knew that Chen Muwu could speak German, and he also knew the reason why he didn't speak German now. Obviously, he was dissatisfied with his brother's recklessness when he first entered the door.

This led to the current situation. Heisenberg, who is not good at English, and Pauli, who is not good at English, are translating what Chen Muwu just said.

Obviously, he had already claimed to have found out the mistakes in Chen Muwu's thesis when he first entered the door, but after hearing Chen Muwu's wrong answer, Pauli felt very strange.

Does this Chinese person care nothing about his mistakes?
"Mr. Chen, I found an error (in German) in your thesis."

"Mr. Pauli, this is the best oolong tea, produced in the province of China, please try it while it's hot (English)."

Heisenberg once again translated Chen Muwu's answer to the wrong question into German, and Pauli finally felt that something seemed wrong.

Because from the beginning to the end, his younger brother Heisenberg unilaterally translated Chen Muwu's answers into German for him, but he didn't translate a single word of his own questions to the Chinese on the opposite side.

That is, he must understand what he is saying, he just doesn't want to reply in German!
This is a bit deceptive.

The hot-tempered Pauli directly punched the coffee table in front of him: "Mr. Chen, you are too disrespectful! I came all the way from Germany to find your guest!"

After receiving such a violent shock, the tea in the cup also overflowed.

"It's such a good tea, it's a pity." After finishing the last sentence in English as if nothing had happened, Chen Muwu finally switched to German, "Mr. This cup of tea.

"Now, please think about it carefully, who in this room started disrespecting people first?

"I am in a good mood today, so I will teach you one more Chinese etiquette, that is, if the host keeps inviting guests to drink tea, it means that he wants you to get out!"

Pauli, who has always been used to being arrogant and arrogant, did not expect that the Chinese people in front of him had a temper, which was completely different from the servile people he saw in Germany.

Hearing what Chen Muwu said, Pauli also realized that he had been a little too much since he entered the room.

But Chen Muwu's last sentence obviously set the flames on fire again. If he admits to being cowardly now, he might lose face in front of his junior brother Heisenberg.

The arrow is on the string and has to be sent.

Since you can't take advantage of it with words, you can only do it.

Seeing that his brother was about to have a fit, Heisenberg, who had finally resigned from his translation job, stopped him immediately.

"Wolfgang, don't do this."

But hurry up, Heisenberg was still one step too late.

Pauli, who stood up from his chair, had already swung his fist at Chen Muwu.

In the University of Cambridge, people’s daily sports are rowing in the River Cam, playing golf, and watching cricket matches, which is in line with their status as gentlemen.

But at the martial German universities, the students' favorite sport was fencing.

If you look at the photos left over from the early [-]th century, you can find that Germans have surprisingly many scars on their faces compared to other countries.

These are the scars left by fencing, the honor of a so-called man.

Although there was no scar on Pauli's face, fierce and aggressive blood flowed in his body.

Chen Muwu was really not afraid that Pauli would fight him.

After all, before crossing over, he had studied the mad dog boxing of his own master Chen Hegao out of curiosity.

After Ye Gongchao was beaten last year, he learned a few martial arts with Ye Gongchao, the number one kung fu master in Cambridge.

Although the number is small, the tricks are all surprisingly successful.

Even if he didn't have the martial arts of the triangular cat, Chen Muwu believed that he could defeat this little Jew with only his height, arms span, and muscles cultivated by regular exercise.

The situation turned out to be exactly as he expected, completely one-sided.

After only a few rounds, Chen Muwu pushed Pauli under him.

Like Wu Erlang riding on the back of a tiger on Jingyang Ridge, he raised his fist and tried to hit Pauli where he was not hurt.

"Mr. Chen, don't fight, don't fight, Wolfgang is a nice guy, he just has this temper!"

Heisenberg, who just tried to stop Pauli to no avail, stomped his feet anxiously.

But he didn't dare to step forward to fight, for fear that Chen Muwu would hurt himself by mistake.

Suddenly there was a strange sound of ding ding dong dong upstairs, which alarmed Bohr who was resting on the second floor.

He suddenly realized that the room directly above his head lived in Chen Muwu, his most valued guest in the Institute of Theoretical Physics.

Could it be that something happened to his junior brother?

How can I explain this to teacher Rutherford!

Bohr hurried out of the room, ran up the stairs to the third floor, and went straight to the door of the room where Chen Muwu lived.

Then he saw that someone was indeed lying on the ground.

It's just that the person lying down is not Chen Muwu, but the person sitting on top of him punching someone.

After Bohr entered the room and walked close to the scene of the crime, he realized that the person being violently beaten by his junior brother was his former assistant, Pauli.

"Chen, stop! What happened?"

Seeing that Bohr, who had already alarmed the downstairs, achieved the effect he wanted.

Only then did Chen Muwu stand up slowly from Pauli, and the sole of his foot accidentally touched the Jew's stomach again.

"Professor Bohr, Mr. Pauli and I have no grievances in the past, and we have no vengeance in the near future. I don't know why, as soon as he entered the door today, he started to provoke me crazily.

"He even wanted to hit me just now. I had no choice but to defend myself. Mr. Heisenberg saw all this clearly from the side, and he can testify for me."

Chen Muwu's expression didn't change, his heart didn't beat, after all, everything he said was true.

Heisenberg complained in his heart, how dare you say such a thing, but the body has already squatted on the ground, checking whether Pauli's injury is serious.

"Werner, what's going on here? Wolfgang, when did you come to Copenhagen? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Bohr’s bowl of water is difficult to balance. On one side is the guest he invited, and on the other side is one of his favorite and most respected students.

With Heisenberg's support, Pauli had already got up from the floor.

His injury was actually not serious, Chen Muwu was merciful in every way.

But the main reason was that he couldn't hold back his face. Pauli, who always showed his pride, had one eye socket a little red and the other eye socket a little blue.

This is of course Chen Muwu's masterpiece.

Only in this punch, he used a little strength.

It was also this inaugural first punch that allowed Chen Muwu to successfully knock down Pauli.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Bohr probably understood what happened just now.

Chen Muwu has always been gentle and refined in Copenhagen, he definitely doesn't look like a troublemaker.

And Pauli once worked as an assistant to Bohr in the Institute of Theoretical Physics for more than a year. Bohr still knew how thorny he was.

Unexpectedly, he had already left Denmark and returned to Germany, and he could still get himself into trouble.

But now is not the time for three trials, Bohr can only ask Heisenberg to send Pauli to the affiliated hospital of the University of Copenhagen for a physical examination.

Let's wait until they come back to understand the ins and outs of the matter.

Chen Muwu, who escaped from the battle, quickly returned to his usual modest gentleman, as gentle as jade.

He even found a new cup and made Bohr a cup of tea.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your rest, Professor Bohr."

Chen Muwu saw the home clothes on Bohr's body.

On the other hand, Bohr lamented Chen Muwu's psychological strength, he had just finished fighting with others, and he became so calm in a blink of an eye.

"Wolfgang is such a grumpy person, you must not be as knowledgeable as him."

"Professor Bohr, don't worry, I won't take this matter to heart. Anyway, experiments have proved that he can't beat me."

Bohr was about to persuade Chen Muwu, but was choked back by the latter's reply.

He could only sigh: "Hey, Chen, you should rest here. After Wolfgang is discharged from the hospital, I will bring him to you to apologize."

After Bohr left, Chen Muwu lay on the bed and thought carefully whether there were any mistakes in his thesis.

But after going through each article from beginning to end in his brain, he still couldn't find what Pauli wanted to say.

And it was already time for the afternoon class. Chen Muwu, who sat up from the bed, straightened his clothes, went down to the first floor with his lesson plans in his arms, and came to the lecture hall.

Good things don't go out, bad things pass thousands of miles.

Ping-ping-pong-pong made such a big commotion at noon, it was hard for others not to know.

Although they didn't dare to go outside Chen Muwu's room to see what happened inside, but after seeing Heisenberg coming out of the room with Pauli on his arm, they all guessed pretty well.

One pass ten, ten pass a hundred.

In the eyes of the students in the audience, Chen Muwu became more and more mysterious.

In the evening, Oppenheimer, who had been away all day, returned to the institute.

As soon as he heard the news of the fight, he rushed to his teacher's room.

Putting down the materials he had borrowed for Chen Muwu from the Observatory of the University of Copenhagen, Oppenheimer looked up and down the teacher's body carefully.

If he found any slight skin trauma, Oppenheimer would definitely find that person who didn't know who it was.

Pauli, who had his body checked at the University Hospital of Copenhagen, is fine.

But for the sake of safety, Bohr did not arrange him to stay in the only empty room on the third floor of the Institute, but asked Heisenberg to take Pauli to a hotel in the city for a night.

He was afraid that if the two people who did not want to deal with happened to meet in the corridor, they would fight again after disagreeing.

……

The quantum mechanics lecture on the second day was temporarily canceled, and Bohr called Chen Muwu, Pauli and Heisenberg to his office.

He intends to try to resolve the problem between the two young men at the Institute of Theoretical Physics, just as Charles Dawes mediated the reparation dispute between Germany and France.

The worried Oppenheimer also followed into the office and stayed by Chen Muwu's side all the time.

As soon as we met, Pauli walked up to Chen Muwu with his head down, and apologized in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Mr. Chen, I was impulsive yesterday, so I'm really sorry."

Chen Muwu felt that the funny situation in front of him was a little funny, but he didn't know if his apology was sincere.

Was it a last resort after being persuaded by Bohr and Heisenberg one after another?
Or was he scared by himself?

Chen Muwu even thought the worst of the situation last night. If Pauli called the police, how would he deal with it?

But it didn't matter if the police were called in, although he did hit a white guy, but the white guy was also a Jew.

In the eyes of the noble Danish police, this fight can only be regarded as a dog eats a dog.

Even because Chen Muwu's reputation is greater, maybe the police will favor him a little more.

In addition, with Bohr coming forward, Denmark must not dare to throw itself into prison.

Even deportation was unlikely to happen, because Bohr wanted to keep himself teaching in Copenhagen, and it was absolutely impossible for this kind of penalty to happen.

"Mr. Pauli, I accept your apology."

After saying this, Chen Muwu wanted to stop.

But seeing Bohr winking at him, he had no choice but to sell the face of his senior brother, and gave Pauli a step: "Mr. Pauli, I seem to be a bit heavy-handed, please bear with me."

"You are all young people. Since you have said everything, it will end here. No one can take it to heart, let alone hold grudges. Let's shake hands together!"

This time, Pauli's handshake was finally not as perfunctory as it was the first time.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Chen Muwu had the upper hand this time.

However, Bohr had to take into account the mental health of his proud student Pauli, so he had to beat Chen Muwu in an attempt to give Pauli some face back.

"However, Chen, Wolfgang also told me the reason why he came to Copenhagen this time.

"He was reading your paper in Germany before, and he wanted to discuss some issues with you, so he wanted to publish a paper and communicate with you across the air.

"But it happened that Werner wrote to him and told him that you had come to Denmark from the UK, so he thought it might be better to meet you, so he rushed from the University of Hamburg to the Institute of Theoretical Physics."

Hearing Bohr mentioning himself, Heisenberg also bowed his head in embarrassment.

He has always been close to his fellow apprentices, and he came to Copenhagen to join Bohr's school because he also listened to Pauli's advice.

Although the two places are separated, the communication between the two has never been interrupted, and they exchange trivial things in daily life, as well as discussions and experiences on the frontiers of physics.

Heisenberg also did not expect that Pauli would rush over from Germany after learning that Chen Muwu was coming to Copenhagen.

Bohr continued: "Wolfgang came here not to fight you on a special trip, but to really discover the problems in your thesis.

"He studied your second paper on the wave equation. In the third equation, you did solve the problem of negative probability in the second equation. Is it just this negative energy that always exists in the third equation? Solution.

"Wolfgang traveled thousands of miles to Copenhagen, and it was precisely for this purpose. He thought that negative energy would not exist, which only shows that there is something wrong with your third equation.

"Dr. Chen, do you have anything to say about his question?"

I have to say that Pauli is really smart.

But it is also because of his intelligence that he cultivated his proud and arrogant character.

After Chen Muwu finished writing the second paper on the wave equation, he was busy giving lectures to people from the Kapitza Club and the Cavendish Laboratory, and put the paper aside.

In fact, he did it on purpose, wanting to see how people would react after getting the negative energy solution again.

Unexpectedly, it would be Pauli who first found the negative energy solution, and got beaten up by Chen Muwu for it.

What else can the negative energy solution be?
Although the energy cannot be negative, the charge of electrons can be "negative"!
"Professor Bohr, that's what Mr. Pauli said. I saw him so proud yesterday, and thought he had found some great mistake!

"Of course negative energy exists, and I think that negative energy corresponds to a negative energy level.

"A vacuum is like an ocean, full of negative energy levels.

"It's just that what fills this sea is not sea water, but electrons.

"But for some reason, we can't observe the electrons that stay in the negative energy level."

Chen Muwu didn't care about the expressions of the other four people in the office. Sitting on the sofa, he raised his legs and continued: "If the electrons in the negative energy level absorb energy, they will jump to the positive energy level and become electrons that we can observe.

"At the same time, the departure of electrons will also create a 'hole' in the negative energy level.

"Because both charge and energy are conserved, if there is one less negatively charged electron in the vacuum, there will be one more positively charged electron, that is to say, this 'hole' is positively charged, and the electric quantity is one unit. charge.

"Because there is less 'negative energy' in the vacuum, there will be more 'positive energy', that is to say, this 'hole' has positive energy.

"If this process is reversed, the electron jumps from the positive energy level to the negative energy level, it will release energy, and at the same time combine with the extra positively charged and positive energy 'hole' in the vacuum, allowing the vacuum to return again for a vacuum."

"Mr. Chen, since you said that this 'hole' carries a positive electric charge, then in other words, this 'hole' should be a proton?"

Heisenberg on the side was the first to react.

The reason why he said protons is because at present, people only know that protons are positively charged, and the electric quantity is a unit electric charge.

Chen Muwu shook his head: "I don't think it may be a proton. Maybe it's a new particle that hasn't been discovered by humans yet. It has the same mass as an electron, but the charge it carries is opposite to that of an electron.

"I guess it could be called an 'anti-electron,' or a 'positive electron,' or even just a 'positron'!"
