Chapter 223 (1/2)
The American physical society organizes dozens of meetings a year, which can only have an impact on the scale, that is, the March meeting with the theme of solid state physics and the April meeting with the theme of particle physics.
In March 1980, the meeting was held in Manhattan, New York. When Fisher checked into the Kaiyue hotel with Zheng Jianguo, he didn't expect to see a blonde Dongwang coming face-to-face with a woman with the same blonde hair. Zheng Jianguo looked at each other and passed by, and felt that his eyes were long on his forehead when he walked.
”Do you want to change history?”
When the idea flashed through Zheng Jianguo's mind, Dong Wang, who had passed by, turned around and looked at him. Then he turned around and went away with the blonde in the Cadillac car at the door.
With a touch of regret in his heart, Zheng Jianguo believes that if he greets each other, even if he changes history in a sense, after all, there was no intersection between the two people, but think that he has come here. Then maintain the original historical trend, so that the things in his memory can happen according to the original track?
”Hi, Zheng, let's go upstairs -”
Fisher, who had reached the front desk, turned to look at Zheng Jianguo. The latter quickly followed and nodded at the lab members in the front station. He soon found that he had forgotten both their names.
”This is Jack and this is Ted. They joined the laboratory after you left -”
Fisher's voice sounded nearby, and Zheng Jianguo smiled at two freckled faces: ”Hi, I'm Zheng Jianguo -”
”Well, Zheng, we know you. The professor said your discovery many times -”
Jack is a little short with brown hair. Ted next to him has stretched out his hand to his bag: ”Zheng, let me help you.”
”No, thanks!”
Zheng Jianguo smiled and refused directly. Without continuing to speak, they followed fisher to their respective rooms. Looking out the window at the sunny but loud trumpets, he realized the difference between Boston and Manhattan: ”the temperature difference is a little too big -”
”Hi, Zheng, do you want to go down and look around?”
Jack's voice came from the open door. Zheng Jianguo turned to look at the implied expectation before he wanted to speak. He heard two loud noises outside the open window: ”Ping Ping.”
”Shet!”
When Zheng Jianguo looked around, Jack had quickly closed the door, looked around on the balcony, and said in a hurry, ”it's a gunshot. I didn't expect it to be so chaotic here -”
”Bang bang -”
Jack's voice didn't disappear. There were two bangs on the closed door. Ted's voice followed people into the room: ”Zheng, are you okay, Jack - don't stand on the balcony, be careful to be shot in the head.”
”We're fine. What? You scared me.”
Jack's face changed slightly, and Ted pointed to the balcony and said, ”I have a friend who stood up after hearing the gunshot on the balcony and was knocked off his ear by a stray bullet. Do you also want to taste the stray bullet?”
”OK, OK, I listen to you now.”
Jack looked at Zheng Jianguo, who seemed to be all right next to him. He couldn't help but say, ”Zheng, you seem to be used to the sound of guns?”
”I'm not used to gunfire. I've been used to shooting since I came to America. From the report, it seems to happen every day.”
Zheng Jianguo almost said that free American shooting every day. Fortunately, he knew that it was more rhymed in Mandarin. If it was changed to English, it would be different. However, the sound of the gun still reminded him: ”it seems that you should reduce the number of times you go out in the future - don't turn around.”
”This is a sudden event. In terms of probability, there is a large difference in numbers, but in reality, there are only yes and no results.”
Jack said it subconsciously. Fortunately, he was also frightened by Ted's statement before. Finally, he changed his mouth and said, ”of course, probability is probability -”
”OK, you go. I'll have a rest and call me when I have dinner.”
Zheng Jianguo began to kick people out. He could see Ted's prudence and Jack's carelessness in this short time. However, his time was precious. Instead of increasing, there were two more papers in his bag, so he began to review the papers after kicking people out.
Until Fisher came over for breakfast the next morning, Zheng Jianguo accompanied him to the building not far away and reported his name. Under the guidance of the waiter, he came to a conference room and found him paying attention to the man in black at the door. Fisher next to him said, ”there is Brody, the sponsor of our society and the governor of Pennsylvania, This should be his bodyguard -- ”
”The governor has left. I'm the head of security at this meeting -”
The tall man in a black suit and black shoes with black sunglasses said, ”this meeting is a closed door meeting. You can only participate if you receive an invitation. Now please report your name.”
After picking some white eyebrows, Fisher said, ”I'm fisher of Harvard University, and he's Zheng Jianguo of Harvard University --”
The dark lights, gorgeous tapestries and the buzzing decibels in the meeting room of 100 people are not as loud as the sound of their own air conditioner. This is Zheng Jianguo's most intuitive feeling after entering the meeting room, and the second feeling is that there are too many bright forehead in the room.
”Fisher, welcome, this young man is Zheng ~”
A slightly gentle low voice pulled Zheng Jianguo's attention back, and Fisher's voice came along: ”since you recognize it, I won't introduce it to you, Zheng. This is Lancelot naggs, President of the British Physical Society --”
”Mr. Lancelot, nice to meet you -”
Seeing a bald forehead reflecting a dim light, Zheng Jianguo opened his mouth with a smile. He saw the president in a neat three piece suit turn his head and look at Fisher: ”Fisher, did you tell Zheng about my master's identity?”
