1138 Brookhaven Lab Withdraws From Group Chat (3/3)

Chapter 1138 Brookhaven Lab Withdrew from the Group Chat (33)

Shanghai.

Restaurant near IMCRC headquarters.

Waiting for food to arrive is always boring, and Witten usually finds something to do for himself. Sometimes it is to read papers, and sometimes it is to learn about the latest information on physics, or some magazines and things related to personal hobbies.

Flipping through the unfinished newspaper brought from the office, at this moment, he suddenly frowned slightly and said.

"Whittle has gone mad."

Hearing this sentence, Frank Wilczek, who was sitting opposite him, turned his questioning gaze to him.

Pausing for a moment, Witten continued.

"He is trying to hijack the Brookhaven Science Society with public sentiment, bring in things that should not have been brought into academia, and then force a part of the academic team, or make a choice."

Frank Wilczek raised his eyebrows and asked with interest: "Then what is your choice?"

"If I have to make a choice, my choice is to stay here temporarily," Witten said, putting down the newspaper in his hand. This experiment. Don’t you think it’s very commemorative regardless of whether you can make a satisfactory result?”

After a pause, Witten smiled and continued,

"What's more, the physics world hasn't been as lively as it is today for a long time."

While drinking the lemonade before the meal, Wilczek said speechlessly.

"I wish it wasn't so lively."

Apart from bringing a lot of trouble, the excitement has no benefit at all. Theoretical physics is a subject that all human beings can benefit from equally. In his opinion, whether it is the approach of Lu Zhou, or the approach of Whittle and the Brookhaven Science Society, it is a bit too irrational.

Of course, he knew it too.

How can there be so many sensible things in this world?

If possible, he certainly hopes that the Lunar Hadron Collider can be put into some more meaningful projects, such as the "time crystal" theory he is currently studying.

But unfortunately, even if he has this idea, I'm afraid he will have to wait until next year to mention it.

...

It may be that the U.S. Department of Energy's thunderous and rainy warning did not work. After the protest, Brookhaven National Laboratory finally expressed their position with practical actions and a strong attitude.

As the center of theoretical physics in North America, the withdrawal of Brookhaven National Laboratory is undoubtedly a heavy blow to IMCRC, which is just on the right track...at least in the eyes of others.

After all, in the entire IMCRC, physicists and engineers from North America account for at least 23% of all positions. Researchers from Brookhaven National Laboratory accounted for more than half of them.

This is only the statistics of fixed positions, not the visiting scholars with high mobility. Regardless of whether they have direct dealings with Brookhaven National Laboratory, their decision will be more or less affected by this incident.

Now, news of Brookhaven National Laboratory's withdrawal has spread throughout IMCRC.

Almost everyone is discussing this matter, and how this matter may affect the cooperation between Huaguo and the United States in physics.

Especially those physicists from North American research institutions.

Although dissatisfied with Lu Zhou's arbitrary approach, Whittle's attempt to kidnap them to withdraw from IMCRC also aroused the resentment of many people. No matter which side they draw a clear line with, it seems that it is not a good thing for them personally.

In any case, this incident has had a considerable impact on the progress of the 750GeV characteristic peak project.

Chairman's Office.

Secretary-General Luo Wenxuan came here again and reported the latest situation to Lu Zhou.

"...Brookhaven National Laboratory formally submitted a written application to me, requesting to withdraw from all scientific research cooperation projects in 2023, and to recall their researchers and engineers in Shanghai."

When reporting this matter, Luo Wenxuan's face was full of complicated expressions.

He also didn't expect that Brookhaven National Laboratory's reaction would be so great, and it directly adopted a non-cooperative method to protest IMCRC's "willingness to go its own way".

Glancing at the document on the table, Lu Zhou signed his name on it without saying a word, and then threw it back into Luo Wenxuan's hands.

Seeing that Lu Zhou continued to shift his gaze back to the blueprints on the table without saying a word, Luo Wenxuan couldn't help asking, "You don't seem to care at all?"

"What's there to care about?" Lu Zhou gave him a strange look, and said naturally, "Anyway, they have already paid, and I don't care what they do with their name on the paper."

Luo Wenxuan: "..."

This sentence was so reasonable that he didn't know what to say.

After hesitating for a while, Luo Wenxuan finally spoke out as a kind reminder to his friend.

"That, about the characteristic peak of 750Gev..."

Lu Zhou: "What's wrong?"

Luo Wenxuan tried to persuade: "Yesterday I dug up the CERN paper and re-read it. It seems that their experiments have been done in great detail. There is really nothing there... just in case, I mean just in case, if there There is really nothing, it is not easy for us to come to Taiwan."

Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou suddenly smiled, stopped the pen in his hand, and looked up at him.

"Do you understand again?"

Luo Wenxuan sighed: "Hey, I know you look down on me as a senior, but at least I can understand the thesis."

Lu Zhou shook his head: "I haven't looked down on anyone yet, so tell me, how did you understand the Fa?"

"You ask me that, how can I tell you? In short..." Luo Wenxuan made a helpless expression, and continued: "In short, they have already done all the experiments that should be done."

Lu Zhou: "Have you ever done a proton collision?"

Luo Wenxuan: "That must have been done, the experiment records are still there."

Lu Zhou: "What about heavy ion collisions?"

Luo Wenxuan was stunned for a moment: "Heavy...heavy ion collision? Why do you test the heavy ion collision on the characteristic peak of 750GeV?"

Lu Zhou asked back: "Then why are you building a collider?"

"..."

Luo Wenxuan opened his mouth, but this time he couldn't say a word.

"If you have nothing to do, read more useful papers. Letting you get in touch with administrative work does not mean that you completely throw away academic things. If you are curious about why I want to do heavy ion collisions, just bury your head and follow me to do a few experiments. You get it, take it."

Subconsciously took the stack of A4 papers thrown by Lu Zhou, Luo Wenxuan was stunned and said.

"What's this?"

Lu Zhou said impatiently: "Take it and read it, ask if you don't understand, come to help if you understand everything."

Luo Wenxuan: "..."

If you don't speak clearly, who will understand?

Just when Luo Wenxuan was about to ask Lu Zhou what kind of work he planned to arrange for him in the experiment, Lu Zhou suddenly raised his right hand as if he had a premonition that he was about to speak.

"Do not talk."

Luo Wenxuan: "?"

Lu Zhou's brows were tightly locked between his brows, and he said in a deep voice.

"coming."

Luo Wenxuan: "..."

Is this... the meaning of inspiration?

So should I still read this paper?

There was always a feeling that this "little problem" would not have a result in a year at all, Luo Wenxuan glanced at the thick stack of papers in his hand, and sighed inwardly.

Why.

It's so boring to fight against the awesome boss...
