Chapter 1148 The Most Expensive Fireworks in History

Lunar scientific research base.

Division of Physics Research.

Sitting in the control room of the Lunar Hadron Collider, in order to pass the boring time before the experiment, Dr. Torik, who was sitting in front of the console, spoke to Yan Xinjue who was sitting next to him.

"You Chinese people are more stubborn than I imagined."

Looking at the scholar from the United States, Yan Xinjue asked.

"Why do you say that?"

Torik said in a natural tone: "Almost half of the physics community thinks that the characteristic peak of 750Gev is just a joke played by God, but your Professor Lu still firmly believes that there must be something there...Even if CERN has done enough The experiment proved that it was indeed an ordinary quantum fluctuation."

"I'm afraid I'll have to correct your wording."

"What word?"

"It would be more accurate to replace stubbornness with an obsession with the truth. Among all the people I know, he is probably the one who has brought this value to the extreme," Yan Xinjue continued with a smile, "What's more, even half of the The physics community is not optimistic about this topic, but half of the physics community agrees with his guess, doesn’t it?”

Although he had reservations about the second half of the sentence, Dr. Torik was obviously more surprised by the first half of his sentence.

"Wait, you mean...you know him?"

"Of course, we are also alumni."

Yan Xinjue is embarrassed to say that he is a senior brother. Firstly, his own achievements are too far behind, so he is suspected of building a relationship. Secondly, he does not want to leave it to others. He was entrusted with such an important task because of his relationship with Lu Zhou. Impressions...even if it's very likely to be true.

However, his concerns appear to be unfounded.

It seems that Dr. Torik's focus is not on the things he thought of, but on other aspects, only to hear him immediately continue to speak with great interest.

"Can you tell me about him? Ever since I read Professor Hardy's memoir, I have been very interested in his story. But unfortunately, that memoir only has the Princeton part."

Yan Xinjue was confused: "Memoir? What memoir?"

"Written by a student who Lu Zhou taught at Princeton, the author is now a professor of mathematics at the University of Sao Paulo and a well-known mathematician."

Seeing Dr. Torik who suddenly became excited, Yan Xinjue raised his arms and looked at the time with some headaches, and stopped his chattering.

"Let's discuss this topic in an hour..."

"The experiment will start in fifteen minutes."

...

To be precise, it was 14 minutes and 21 seconds.

At this moment, the headquarters of IMCRC in Shanghai.

Standing in front of a huge landing screen, everyone in the ground synchronization command center is nervously and busyly waiting for this moment to arrive.

Some people ridiculed that the cost of each IMCRC experiment is like testing an intercontinental missile. Although this analogy is a bit out of tune, it is almost the same figure after conversion.

Walking into the control room, Frank Wilczek walked up to Lu Zhou with a paper that had just been printed out, and asked in a low voice.

"The collision energy is 1250TeV? Aren't you looking for the characteristic peak of 750Gev? Why do you set the energy parameter to such a high value?"

With his hands behind his back, looking at the busy control room not far away, Lu Zhou smiled and said, "To be precise, it is 1250Tev, 1260Tev, and 1300Tev."

Frank Wilczek: "..."

OK.

To be rich is to be willful.

The energy span of these three groups of experiments has already covered the maximum proton collision energy of the CERN collider which is less than 30Tev.

Thinking of this, Frank Wilczek couldn't help feeling a burst of emotion in his heart, and sighed softly.

"It's probably the most expensive fireworks in human history."

"That is inevitable," Lu Zhou smiled, narrowed his eyes, and continued, "After all, it illuminates the future of all of us."

Almost ready for the experiment.

Walking from the front of the control room, Luo Wenxuan took a deep breath, looked at Lu Zhou and said seriously.

"...All units are ready to start experiments at any time."

Lu Zhou nodded and glanced at the time on his watch.

There is 1 minute and 30 seconds left before the agreed time.

Almost ready to start.

Lowering his arms, he opened his mouth to order.

"Let our machines move."

"Power up the superconducting magnet!"

Luo Wenxuan nodded, suppressing the excitement in his voice, and said cleanly.

"yes!"

...

The signal that the experiment is ready spanned a distance of 360,000 kilometers and was received by the lunar scientific research base.

Huge energy, like a raging flood, gushes out from the energy storage facility and gathers along the superconducting ring, brewing a terrifying magnetic field.

Under the shroud of this huge magnetic field, even the cosmic rays that wantonly shuttle around are distorted.

When the time reached the hour, Dr. Yan Xinjue, who was standing in the control room of the lunar scientific research base, was waiting in full force, and immediately pressed the button in his hand.

Just like pulling the trigger of a rifle, two invisible protons suddenly shot out from the firing gun, and under the distortion of the magnetic field, they hit a point in an X-shape staggered manner.

No brilliant sparks.

But at that moment of intersection, the brilliance presented on the energy spectrum of the detector is so dazzling.

Under the impact of 1250Tev energy, the two protons, like smashed watermelons, were torn apart in the invisible microcosm and decomposed into elementary particles smaller than atoms.

Reflecting the excitement in his pupils, Lu Zhou stared intently at the image presented on the energy spectrum, and refused to take his eyes off for a moment.

For a scholar, such a picture will never tire no matter how many times you watch it.

The first round of collision is over!

The energized state of the superconducting magnet has not been lifted, and the staff stationed at the lunar scientific research base quickly adjusted the experimental parameters, and then the second round of collision experiments started immediately!

And this is also the most critical round.

It directly determines whether the part of Lu Zhou's guess about the mass loss problem in the high-energy particle collision experiment mentioned in the paper can be established!

Didn't have long to wait, didn't even have time to hold my breath.

The two protons collided again, and brilliant "sparks" bloomed on each detector.

Witnessing the data presented on the big screen, Wei Teng finally had a look of surprise written on his tense face, and muttered to himself in an unbelievable voice.

"You really guessed it..."

Frank Wilczek also froze there.

Although his mathematical ability is not as good as that of Witten, he still can see something unusual from the raw data on the screen, but he can't tell where the unusual place is.

It's just a deep intuition telling him...

What will happen next will probably overturn his understanding of the microcosm.

"God……"

Subconsciously read the old man's name, other than that, he really didn't know how to express the shock in his heart.

Standing in front of the two, Lu Zhou didn't speak, but just stood there with his fists clenched.

not enough!

While the second round of experiments was sufficient to illustrate some issues, it was not sufficient to test all the points in his paper.

He is waiting for the third round of experiments.

As long as the data of the third round of experiments meet expectations!

He will be able to prove his conclusion is correct!

Under the gaze of all expectant eyes, the third round of experiments finally started...

Two protons collided at a single point.

Brilliant sparks bloomed again.

Looking directly at the screen, Lu Zhou's pupils shrank instantly, and then gradually enlarged.

Those black pupils were already filled with excitement.

Three experiments, fully in line with expectations!

"finally……"

"Let me find you..."

The cheers and applause resounding in the ears silently covered up this soft murmur.

The specter hidden behind the quantum fluctuations finally took off all its disguise at this moment, and was exposed in front of everyone defenselessly.

Although that's just raw raw data...

But does it make any meaningful difference for a math level LV10 scholar?

At least for him, it is only a matter of time before they are translated into a language that everyone can understand...
