Chapter 1131 The Collider Is Completed! (1/3)

Chapter 1131 The collider is completed! (13)

Later on December 17th.

Professor Frank Wilczek at Shanghai International Airport.

Tomorrow is the start time of the meeting. In order not to miss this grand meeting, he deliberately arrived here one day earlier.

On the way from the security check to the pick-up location, he couldn't remember how many colleagues he had met.

Some of them he knew, some he didn't know, and some he knew but hadn't been in contact with for many years.

The physics community is a huge circle, so huge that even a Nobel Prize-level scholar can hardly have a specific concept of how huge the whole circle is.

In addition to those familiar names, if you are not close to each other in research direction, or communicate frequently at a few specific points, maybe even if you exchange business cards at a certain report meeting, it will be difficult to see each other for a second time .

After all, not everyone regards CERN as their second home like Witten. Many people may go there once or twice because of work or academic needs, but if there is no reason to go, some people may never go again in their entire lives.

Coincidentally.

Just as he was struggling to squeeze out of the crowd and looked around at the street signs above his head, he saw another acquaintance whom he hadn't seen for a year.

"Witten? What a coincidence, you just arrived here too?" Looking at the old man with a kind smile on his face, Frank Wilczek had an unexpected expression on his face.

"According to statistical probability, today should be the 'peak period'. After all, there are only a few flights a day from North America to here." Looking around, Wei Teng said with some emotion, "God...the people here are really too too much."

Wilczek said with some complaints: "Yes... I remember that there were not so many people when I came last time, at least not so exaggerated now. Damn, are they all here for a meeting?"

"There are already a lot of people living here...Speaking of which, where is your hotel?"

"It's near the International Convention and Exhibition Center, less than 200 meters from the main entrance."

Wei Teng's eyes lit up and said.

"That's a coincidence, I guess you and I booked the same hotel, let's ride there together."

...

At the same time, on the distant moon, a prism-shaped landing module was slowly dropped from the Moon Palace orbital space station, and slowly fell on the silver-white lunar soil along the calculated trajectory, setting off billows of moon dust.

After unfastening the nylon locks that fixed his body and the pipelines of the life support system, Yan Xinjue took a deep breath of the oxygen supplied in the spacesuit, and took the first step outside the cabin.

Just a year ago, he was engaged in physics research with Academician Lu. He never thought that one day he would be able to set foot on the moon, let alone that this opportunity was provided to him by his younger brother.

If nothing else, he is probably the first physicist who has received formal astronaut training and set foot on the moon.

In the distance, a silver-white lunar rover slowly drove towards this side.

An astronaut wearing the insignia of the Lunar Orbit Construction Committee stepped off the rover, and the kangaroo hopped toward him. At the same time, the voice of that person also came from the communication channel.

"Friends from Earth, welcome! Although I want to give you a hug, I'm afraid this will knock you out... Put this on first."

Looking at the staff member walking towards him, Yan Xinjue took the cable from his hand.

"This is?"

"Safety rope, the gravity environment here is very low, in order to avoid accidents, we will wear it when we go out of the cabin... You should have received training."

"Maybe there is no EVA section on my schedule."

"That's it," the man smiled heartily, looked at him who put on the safety rope, reached out and patted his shoulder, "Let's go, I'll take you to see what we did on the moon, You will be amazed!"

Yan Xinjue smiled, but did not speak.

In fact, he was surprised enough on the way from the Jinling Space Launch Center to the Moon Palace and then here.

He really couldn't imagine how surprised he could be after experiencing these things.

...

December 17.

This is not a special day, but it is destined to be an extraordinary day for the city of Shanghai.

In this short day, almost 99% of the world's first-, second- and third-tier physicists, as well as practitioners in related fields, gathered in this city.

Not everyone is qualified to sit in the conference hall to participate in the meeting, but almost everyone who can get the admission qualification of the convention center has managed to get the admission qualification.

December 18.

That's the day the meeting started.

Conference Hall No. 1 of the Convention and Exhibition Center was crowded with people, and it was dark as far as the eye could see.

After the opening speech of the chairman of the organizing committee of the conference, Lu Zhou, who is also the chairman of the IMCRC and the general counsel of the Lunar Orbit Construction Committee, walked steadily onto the stage and straightened the microphone with his hand.

No one is needed to keep order.

There is no need for anyone to remind those present to keep quiet.

Almost at the moment when his right hand touched the microphone, the whole venue fell silent, as if a needle could be heard falling on the ground.

In fact, it wasn't just the participants in Room 1 who fell silent together.

It also includes those who stood in the lobby of the convention and exhibition center looking up at the big screen, and even those who failed to get here and could only learn about the situation through the live broadcast on the IMCRC official website.

Everyone is waiting for him to speak.

Wait for his announcement about physics coming into the future!

"Welcome to Huaguo, welcome to Shanghai, and thank you all who came from afar to come here and participate in this grand event organized by IMCRC."

Putting the acknowledgments at the top, and looking around the lively venue, Lu Zhou took about two seconds to organize his words and continued.

"Since entering the millennium, the contradiction between experimental physics and theoretical physics has been increasing day by day, and the progress of our theoretical level has far exceeded the scope that can be tested by experiments."

"I personally have always believed that experiments are the only criterion for testing truth. A theory that is divorced from experiments is like a mirage. No matter how beautiful the buildings standing there are, we can only look at them from afar."

"Now, however, there is a new turning point."

"Thanks to the advancement of aerospace technology, our spacecraft has gradually covered the orbit of the moon and can easily send construction equipment there."

"The low-gravity, relatively vacuum lunar environment also allows us to build larger and more spectacular collider facilities on it."

"Since the establishment of the project, the construction period of the Lunar Hadron Collider has attracted the attention of all parties. We have high hopes for it, hope that it can test our standard model, and hope that it can discover new physics..."

"Now, that day has finally come."

The atmosphere in the venue was pushed to a peak, and Lu Zhou's voice gradually amplified, from calm to passionate.

"On this special day, on behalf of the Lunar Orbit Construction Committee and the IMCRC Council, I announce to the world—"

"The Lunar Hadron Collider—"

"From today—"

"Officially completed!"

The moment the voice fell, the applause poured down like a torrential rain, filling the entire venue.

The thunderous sound was like a huge wave, almost toppling the ceiling of the entire convention and exhibition center.

Sitting under the stage, the gray-haired academician Lu had a look of excitement on his face, and the veins in his clapping hands were bulging, as if he had used all his strength.

In his eyes, he saw more than just the completion of the lunar collider.

I also saw that the physics community in Huaguo has gradually reached the top of the world.

From now on, the voice of IMCRC will replace CERN, and as the center of physics in the new era, it will give orders to the world's physics community, so that physicists around the world can serve the research of Huaguo, instead of doing some marginal work. revolutionary work, contributing to the edifice of physics that sits in the Westworld.

A new building is rising, standing in the corner of the East.

Perhaps the natural sciences are selfless, and perhaps all human beings will benefit equally from these researches, but as a scholar who grew up in China, who doesn't want this honor to be won by his own people?

He has been waiting for this day for too long...

Bathed in the applause that resounded throughout the venue, Lu Zhou raised a smile, raised his hands, and waited quietly for the applause to die down.

Facing the subdued venue, he took a deep breath and continued.

"The first test run of the collider will start in five minutes."

"Now, let us witness this glorious moment together!"

On the big screen, the screen changed, and it traveled a distance of 360,000 kilometers to a gray land.

Located at the corner of the crater, a silver-white building stands there, almost blending with the mountain.

There is the lunar surface research base.

Also, where the collider starts...
