Niels Bohr himself is a top scientist in physics, and his son is also a Nobel Prize winner.

"it's him."

Liu Xiang, director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, reported: "After the Nazis came to power, although many scientists fled Germany, and even fled Europe. But there are still a large number of scientists who stayed in Europe. Many scientists who fled Germany at that time, many They all went to Denmark, Sweden, as well as to Britain and France. Later, when war broke out, Germany swept across the European continent and captured France and Denmark, but did not arrest the local Jews. Therefore, many people continued to stay in France And Denmark. Niels Bohr had the Copenhagen Institute of Theoretical Physics in Denmark. Bohr, he asked us for help."

"How did Hitler suddenly want to arrest him? And how did he get the news?"

"Bohr is very well-known among scientists and is a world-renowned scientist. He himself has deep connections in the European scientific community. Many German scientists currently working for the German military have friendship with Bohr. This The news came from Heisenberg, professor of physics at the University of Berlin and director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physics."

"Heisenberg?"

"He is a famous German scientist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics. He worked with Bohr at the Institute of Theoretical Physics in Copenhagen in his early years. I heard that the personal friendship between the two parties is very good. At present, Heisenberg is not only a university professor, but also in charge of Developing atomic bombs for the German army is a scientist who is highly relied on by the German high-level, and his status in Germany is not low."

"Germany is finally going to start developing an atomic bomb?"

"Yes. The German government has also begun to pay attention to the phenomenon of nuclear fission and is preparing to develop an atomic bomb. According to our analysis, it may be for this reason that the Nazis wanted to arrest Bohr. Bohr is an expert in this field. Their atomic bomb plan was rejected by Bohr. It may be for this reason that the Nazis wanted to deal with Bohr."

"But how did he find us here?"

Duan Xun basically understood.

Germany also began to pay attention to nuclear fission and began to develop atomic bombs.The German leaders are Heisenberg and Hahn, and there are many experts in this field in Europe.The most famous of them is Bohr, who won the Nobel Prize.So the Germans invited Bohr to take part in the project.Of course, Germany would not make it so clear, but Bohr was a smart man, and he immediately understood what the Nazis meant and what the Nazis were doing.So Bohr of course rejected the Nazis.

The German Nazis did not want to let Bohr go, so they were going to arrest him.But Heisenberg and Bohr were good friends, so they immediately sent someone to inform him quietly.

"Teacher, I have to thank He Fengshan. Back then, he issued a large number of visas to Jews, which gave our country a great influence among European Jews and a good reputation. At that time, Minister Wei of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Wei Chen Group) He also served as the ambassador to Germany. Although the noise was not as big as that of He Fengshan, the number of visas issued was far more than that of He Fengshan. Minister Wei mobilized all our consulates in Germany to quietly issue visas together. Not only in Germany , Our embassies in various European countries, including Poland, Czechoslovakia, Italy, Spain, etc., our country has issued many visas, giving Jews a chance to leave Europe. In those years, only our country issued visas in the whole of Europe There are a large number of visas, and other countries have been stuck with visas. Besides, He Fengshan made a lot of noise back then. For the Jews, our country is still very friendly to them. Moreover, many well-known Jewish professors came to our country and got a good reputation in our country. The very high treatment was passed on to the European Jews."

On the Chinese side, He Fengshan was disobedient and must be punished.

But again, from the perspective of the Jews, He Fengshan is a great hero.In countries such as Britain, the United States, and France, although they criticize the Nazis for persecuting the Jews every day, the reality is that they are very stingy about issuing visas.Their stinginess disappointed many Jews, but He Fengshan issued visas arbitrarily, which won a lot of favor from the Jews.

At present, many Jewish professors in China have come to China for this reason.At present, there are only five Jewish scientists in China who have won the Nobel Prize, and there are more than 100 Jewish experts and professors at the professor level in other universities.If it weren't for He Fengshan's actions back then, China would not have been able to attract so many Jewish talents.

"It's not just for this reason. Four years ago, Bohr accepted the invitation of Professor Zhou Peiyuan and Shu Xingbei to give lectures at Peking University, Tsinghua University, and Beiyang University. He stayed in China for more than 40 days. It is said that Bohr The professor spoke highly of the development of Chinese universities, especially had a good chat with Professor Zhou Peiyuan, and even commented that Professor Zhou Peiyuan is an outstanding scientist capable of winning the Nobel Prize. In addition, the European continent is currently completely controlled by Germany and Italy Among them, there are not many countries that can freely enter and exit. Among them, we have the ability to bring people out from the European continent.”

"Ah."

Duan Xun nodded.

Of course, there are also some regrets and guilt in my heart.

Like Professor Zhou Peiyuan and Professor Shu Xingbei, they are all very outstanding scientists.They were supposed to be scientists who quietly studied science, but because of the needs of the country, they wanted to become weapons experts instead.

Shu Xingbei is only 34 years old, but he is the general manager of the military radar project.Zhou Peiyuan is only 39 years old this year, but while teaching at a university, he is also the person in charge of the military's fish airdrop experiment.They not only have to undertake the task of teaching in universities, but also undertake the task of developing military weapons.For scientists of his generation, Duan Xun always feels sorry for them.There are also people like Zhao Zhongyao who were supposed to become outstanding nuclear physicists and conduct more research.But now he is in charge of developing the atomic bomb.

This actually seriously delayed the scientific development of these people.If it weren't for the national project to hold them back, it is very likely that there will be a Nobel Prize among them.

Regardless of Duan Xun shaking his head quickly, putting these thoughts out of his mind, he said: "This is a good thing. The Institute of Theoretical Physics in Copenhagen is the most outstanding physics institute in the world. How many Nobel Prizes have been awarded. If this glass You come to our country and build a theoretical physics institute as good as the Copenhagen Institute of Theoretical Physics for our country, that is really the good fortune of our country."

China lacks many things.

Including scientific atmosphere.

But this is a question left over from history.China has never had the soil of natural science and the culture of natural science.The result is that the first industrial revolution and the second industrial revolution are missed.Although China's current industrialization speed is very fast, and the current industrial scale is very large, this scientific research atmosphere cannot be established overnight.

And what is the role of these great scientists?

They can bring their scientific research methods and scientific research style to the places where they go, and can change the local scientific research atmosphere.The rapid advancement of science and technology in the United States after World War II has a lot to do with the fact that a large number of European scientists fled Europe and came to the United States.

They brought not only knowledge, but also scientific research methods and scientific research style, which immediately affected the scientific research atmosphere of American universities and research institutions.This Duan Xun is very touching.

China has also absorbed many world-renowned scientists, and each of them will influence a university or a research institute.Just like Professor Meitner's Atomic Institute, the students trained all have her style.

Therefore, scientists at the level of Bohr are still the ones who founded the Institute of Theoretical Physics in Copenhagen.Such a person sets up a physics research institute in China and let him develop for a few years, then the students he cultivates will have his style.This kind of scientific research method, scientific research style, and scientific research atmosphere are very beneficial to the long-term development of science.

"Tell Li Zhilong that a scientist of Bohr's level has nothing to say. No matter how difficult it is, he must be allowed to leave Denmark safely. Including his colleagues at the Institute of Theoretical Physics in Copenhagen, whether they are coming to our country or not Even if they just want to leave Europe and go to other countries, we have to rescue him. If the matter is urgent, there is no need to contact the country, and you can make a quick decision. I will give him this power. They can use all the resources they can in Europe. "

Even if a person like Bohr does not come to China, it is good to maintain friendship with him.As long as great scientists like them maintain a certain friendship, it will be good for China's future.

After all, it is a life-saving grace.

In the future, foreign students from China will go to work in his physics institute, or universities in China want him to come and give lectures, or they want him to guide when China establishes some scientific research institutions, and he will not be able to refuse.

And there is such a thing, the reputation will also be very good.No matter what time it is, it is always bad to close the country.Although science and technology requires self-reliance, it also requires frequent exchanges with world science.Only in this way can we develop.A good reputation can attract more scientists to work in China.

So there is nothing to say about Bohr, it must be rescued.

"Yes."

Liu Xiang nodded.

In order to bring in more talents during the war years, the Supreme Council formulated the "Nest Building Plan".A "Talent Committee" was also specially set up, which is a very special department with many privileges.

As the director of the "Talent Committee", Li Zhilong was in Rome as the Chinese military attache in Italy, directing this plan.After Bohr heard that the Nazis wanted to arrest him, he immediately contacted the Chinese embassy.Of course, the embassy notified Li Zhilong immediately.

"Teacher, it's not just about Bohr. It's the same in France. The news we have now is that Vichy France is going to attack the Jews in France."

"Teacher, it's not just about Bohr. It's the same in France. The news we have now is that Vichy France is going to attack the Jews in France. France is going to arrest those Jews and send them to concentration camps in Germany." .”

"France is going to do something to the Jews?"

Duan Xun was a little surprised.

Regarding the history of World War II, Duan Xun is still clear about the general situation.But it is impossible to know all the details.Anyway, in Duan Xun's impression, France is a romantic country.The persecution of the Jews should have nothing to do with France.

Historical records also record that it was the Nazis who persecuted the Jews.Those who followed the Nazis in persecuting the Jews were Mussolini in Italy and Franco in Spain who were mentioned the most.Why are there still French things?

"Yes."

Liu Xiang nodded and said: "Teacher, this is the news from the French government. It is not fake. Some well-informed Jews have already got the news. But the current situation is similar to when He Fengshan issued the visa. Many Jews I got the news, but there is no way to leave. The French are the same as Germany at the beginning. Unless they have a visa certificate, they will not let go. But at present, no country will issue visas at all. Have the ability to issue them The visa countries are currently hostile countries.”

"This round of anti-Semitism in Europe is getting bigger and bigger."

Europe doesn't like Jews, it didn't just appear in the past few years, let alone because of the Nazis.It is a tradition that Europe does not like Jews. European society generally does not like Jews. This trend has been going on for thousands of years.In fact, as long as you look at European literature for hundreds of years, you can know the image of Jews in the eyes of Europeans.It's just that after arriving at the Nazis, they suddenly became crazy.

Not just disliking Jews, but totally turned into genocide.

The result is that a large number of Jews can only flee Europe.

Not to mention other places, there are nearly 20 Jews in China alone.If it weren't for the emergence of the Nazis, how could there be so many Jews in an oriental civilized country like China.For the Jews, no matter how you say it, Europe is more friendly than China.If it were not for desperation, so many Jews would not have come to China.

"Henri Pétain is not just a loser, it's a bad name."

Duan Xun sighed.

Man is a complex animal.
