Zhou Shaoping is far from the only veteran academician who became agitated or even lost his temper due to violent mood swings.
For example, Zhang Gongding is five or six meters away from Xu Yun.
The hot-tempered topological physics boss was now crossing his arms tightly with his hands held high, his head held high, and his face glowing red with excitement.
Although there were no tears shed, the sparkle could be seen in the eyes.
He was like a devout believer who saw the gods, but what he saw at this time was not an empty god, but a miracle belonging to China.
And the old academician with a strong Sichuan accent.
At this time, he was like an athlete who had scored a goal on the court, his right hand clenched into a fist and kept waving in the air.
There was also a series of Sichuan and Sichuan dialects that would be marked as asterisks if spoken.
Several young people at the operating table threw the useless manuscript paper into the air, hugged each other and jumped up and down.
Xu Yun even couldn't help but put his hands on his hair when he saw Hou Xingyuan, as if he wanted to lift something, but he suddenly realized when he was halfway through pulling it, and calmly scratched his hair twice.
Well, it must be an illusion
Actually.
Looking at Zhou Shaoping and others who were in tears, Xu Yun was very excited in his heart.
After all, it was different from the simple measurement he and Lu Chaoyang had done.
Today's round of re-inspection is extremely authoritative and uses a large number of sophisticated instruments. It is a test with a "qualitative" concept.
The cost of testing alone is at least 500,000-800,000 Chinese coins.
It’s hard to say whether there will be more accurate detection methods in a few years or more, but as of now, this is undoubtedly the most accurate result.
And this also represents that China's high-energy physics research has reached a new level.
October 16, 1964.
With an earth-shattering dragon roar, China possesses its own nuclear weapons.
Since then.
In the world's largest field, China has the confidence to stand tall and speak up.
But all the time.
In high-energy physics and in the field of microscopic particles, China has always been a catch-up.
We cannot export knowledge or define concepts, because not a single nail in the building of fundamental particles was made by us personally - although Mr. Ting Zhaozhong discovered gluons, this part of his contribution is generally believed to be attributed to the sea.
The opposite side of the physics community.
Rabbits can hold up to the sky, but they can't stand on the ground below.
And today.
With the release of this test result.
China finally has the qualifications to speak in the world's smallest field.
When your feet are not on the ground, others can find opportunities to do small things in the gap between the soles of their feet and the ground - such as inserting a brazier into you and letting the fire roast you, but there is nothing you can do.
Either endure other people's teasing, or pay the price to have others move the brazier away.
Sometimes, as soon as the brazier is moved away, the other end comes back with ice cubes.
But once your feet hit the ground.
Then one person has support, and if others want to ask you to move your position, it will not be as easy as before.
This is the importance of the right to define and speak.
Snap, snap, snap——
Just when Xu Yun was sighing.
Suddenly, a burst of slow-paced, low-pitched applause came to his ears.
Xu Yun took advantage of the situation and looked around.
Next to the main console, Mr. Wang, who had been slumped in a wheelchair until now, had stood up at some point.
He was like a pine tree that had lost all its leaves but was still standing tall. He pursed his lips and clapped his hands with a solemn expression.
The volume of the applause was not loud, but it was inexplicably clear.
The excited old academicians calmed down involuntarily and looked at him one after another.
Then soon
The second and third round of applause sounded.
Then the fourth tone
The fifth tone.
In just ten seconds.
Mr. Wang's originally solitary solo turned into a chorus.
At the same time, Xu Yun noticed.
When Mr. Wang was applauding, the person he was looking at was not Hou Xingyuan, Ji Xiangdong, Academician Pan or Zhao Zhengguo.
But stare at
Xu Yun himself.
See this situation.
Xu Yun suddenly seemed to have some realization and nodded towards Mr. Wang from a distance.
Soon, Mr. Wang also nodded to him from afar.
Silently, the two people seemed to have reached some kind of agreement, and it seemed that
A certain mission was handed over.
One minute later.
The applause paused.
Since the whole process lasted for several hours, coupled with the fatigue of traveling and traveling before, it was a huge test for both physical strength and energy.
Therefore, although many old academicians are still excited in their hearts, their bodies are really unable to keep up.
Therefore, under Hou Xingyuan’s instructions.
Ji Xiangdong quickly ordered people to take all the old academicians to the lounge. Those who needed to have a physical examination were examined, and those who needed to rest went to rest.
Of course.
Naturally, the lounge for the old academicians will not be the partition room like before, but the guest house of Jinping Dishen Laboratory.
As for Xu Yun, Academician Pan, Zhao Zhengguo and Lu Chaoyang, they were taken to another conference room by Hou Xingyuan.
"Come on, please take a seat first."
After taking a seat.
Hou Xingyuan adjusted to a relatively comfortable position on the sofa. After feeling the support from his waist, his brows suddenly relaxed a lot.
He is now 63 years old, and his physical condition has shown a downward trend, especially his waist, which he often relies on powerful painkillers to relieve.
Therefore, as the coordinator of today's project, it is impossible to say that I am not tired.
Xu Yun took advantage of this opportunity and poured everyone a cup of tea in a smart way.
Less than half a minute passed.
Hou Xingyuan sat up slightly, looked at Academician Pan and others, and suddenly asked:
"Xiao Pan, do you know why so many academicians are here today?"
Academician Pan was slightly startled and shook his head slightly:
"have no idea."
When Xu Yun heard this, he looked at each other with Lu Chaoyang in a tacit understanding.
In fact, when they were at the airport, Xu Yun and others had a doubt in their minds:
This time the verification process seems to be
A little anxious.
For example, the presence of many academicians.
Mr. Wang's identity and physical condition are relatively sensitive, and there are only five or six people in the academy who know his movements, so it is understandable that he should keep it secret in advance.
But what about other old academicians?
Xu Yun and the others only found out that other academicians would be present after the plane landed, and they were immediately recruited to hijack the plane.
This is obviously a bit impromptu.
There are also previous experimental plans.
Neither the Jinping Laboratory nor many academicians were ready - after all, it only took one day.
Even Zhou Shaoping, a pioneer in high-energy physics, did not know that Xu Yun had actually calculated the orbit of the solitary point particle before arriving at the laboratory.
be honest.
Dark matter does have the value and status to alarm these big guys, but this does not mean that things need to be carried out so urgently.
The Academy of Science can definitely conduct a test at Jinping first, and then notify Zhou Shaoping and others.
Or just wait five or eight more days to have a complete and clear set of procedures, and then start verification.
At least the previous incidents of those old academicians personally participating in the battle should be completely avoidable.
This is like having an old birthday girl in your family. It is normal for your childhood friend to come over to visit the old man during the holidays.
But for this kind of visit, you usually need to contact us via WeChat or phone in advance to make sure that the host is inconvenient or not at home.
No matter how bad it is, it is a process that will only be carried out after you have prepared the gift.
But what about today?
It felt like the guest came to the door without saying a word, and the host was surprised. At the same time, the gift in the guest's hand was a fruit basket sold in the fruit supermarket outside his own community, and he was obviously not ready.
It looks like a taxi driver suddenly dumping someone at the door of the community, with a sense of violation from beginning to end.
as if
The Academy of Sciences very much hopes that an authoritative person will be present at the first time, so that the results will be hammered down immediately without the need for a second round of re-examination.
It's just that the above content has never been confirmed, and it feels wrong, so it is not easy for Xu Yun to delve into it.
After all, the value of dark matter is indeed very high. After receiving the situation, the Academy of Sciences notified the old academicians, and the old academicians couldn't wait to come to the scene. This explanation is not unreasonable.
For example, the National Steady-State Strong Magnetic Field Experiment Facility of the Luzhou Institute of Physical Sciences produced a steady-state magnetic field of 452,200 Gauss, setting a new world record for the same type of magnet.
As a result, more than 20 academicians came to visit within a week, and more than 70 letters of visit from abroad were received within a month.
Many old academicians engaged in scientific research have very pure thinking, and sometimes their curiosity for results far outweighs their concerns about their health, so no one can tell whether they are just happy.
It’s just that it seems now
The sense of disobedience that Xu Yun and the others had before was not just random thoughts.
Think of this.
Academician Pan couldn't help but take the initiative to add some tea to Hou Xingyuan's cup, and asked curiously:
"Dean Hou, from what you said, it seems there are other reasons behind this?"
Hou Xingyuan nodded when he heard this, raised his eyelids to look at him, and explained:
"Well, the timing of your achievement is a bit subtle and special. If you follow the normal process, you might be a little behind."
"So without notifying you, the Academy of Sciences temporarily organized something like this today."
"Of course, not many people were notified of this news. Apart from me and my assistant Xiao Gao, only Mr. Wang knows about it."
Finished.
Hou Xingyuan withdrew his gaze, picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, and continued:
"Xiao Pan, you should know that dark matter is currently at the absolute forefront of theory, and basically all powerful countries will invest in research and development of it."
"It's just that in recent years, there haven't been many examples of results."
Academician Pan and Xu Yun nodded at the same time.
It is different from tachyons, gravitons, string scales and other seemingly mysterious things.
Dark matter is currently a truly cutting-edge research direction.
The equipment costs of those leading dark matter projects start at least hundreds of millions of dollars.
For example, our domestic dark matter particle detection satellite "Wukong" has a payload mass of 1,410 kilograms and a cost of US$100 million.
As of the end of 2018.
"Wukong" has flown around the earth 16,597 times and detected 5.5 billion cosmic ray particles.
Another example is the Fermi satellite across the sea, which cost $700 million to build.
There is also the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer AMS-02, the space dark matter detector on the International Space Station.
Researchers for this magnetic spectrometer come from 56 research institutions in 16 countries and regions in the United States, Europe and Asia, with an investment of US$2 billion.
Basically, all countries with a little money have participated in the detection of dark matter.
Then Hou Xingyuan paused, pondered for a moment, and finally told the truth:
"According to information obtained by the Academy of Sciences from a secret channel, CERN discovered a suspected case of right-handed neutrinos about four days ago, and plans to announce it within this time."
"In addition, Neon's Kamiokande Laboratory is expected to release a research report on warm dark matter particles in the next few days."
"There is also the NIF across the sea. If nothing else happens, they will publish an explanation about the net energy gain of the nuclear fusion reaction tomorrow. It will probably be the first time that Q is greater than 1, reaching about 1.2 or 1.3."
Talk about this.
Hou Xingyuan sighed quietly, couldn't help but rub the bridge of his nose, and raised a helpless smile at the corner of his mouth:
"It would be okay if there was only Haidian one. But now we are being attacked by announcements from three major parties in Europe. The results of our previous victory in the public opinion war may be suppressed a lot."
"So as the affected party, the most appropriate thing for us is to produce an outcome that is equal to or even exceeds theirs, but how easy is this?"
"There are currently more exciting project research projects in China than this, such as the Fuxi Gundam we are working on, but if it is released as a unfinished product, it will obviously do more harm than good in the long run."
"And in this case, you made big news quietly, so..."
Talk about this.
Hou Xingyuan tapped the table with his index finger and said meaningfully:
"We temporarily organized such a verification team and urgently confirmed the results. Now that the results are correct, it will be great fun."
I don’t know if I won the bid, but I’m feeling dizzy, so I’m going to postpone the update for the time being.
So far this month, 80,000 words have been updated. In the next 18 days, just over 6,000 words will be updated to reach an additional 200,000 words, which is not difficult.
I made it to five of the seven days I mentioned before, and I took the time to pay back the remaining two days.
So don’t say I’m too lazy this month (actually, it’s been 20 months since my last book, which is October when my grandma was hospitalized and I didn’t finish it. I missed it by 15,000 words in November)
If the word count is too long, it will not be appended to the text. The writer’s words are free.
