Chapter 1211 Scientific Intuition

An hour later, Lu Zhou was already standing at the gate of the IMCRC headquarters building.

Looking at Senior Brother Luo who raised his hand to greet him from a distance, after waiting for this guy to walk in, Lu Zhou said.

"I wish you'd called this morning."

"Why?"

"Because I happened to be at the pilotage area in the morning, and it only takes 30 minutes by car to get here, and now I may have to stay here in Shanghai for dinner."

"Pilot area? Where is Xinghai No. 1?"

"Yes."

Luo Wenxuan cast a curious look at Lu Zhou, "I heard that you calculated pi to 10^100 decimal places?"

"To be precise, it is Xinghai No. 1, and it is 3.14X10^100 bits... Is there any problem?"

"No... I think it's pretty cool. Hey! It's a pity that we were doing experiments at the time, so we didn't have a chance to go to see it..." Looking up, Luo Wenxuan sighed, and said with some regret, "Damn, I seem to have missed it. An opportunity to witness history."

"As long as you are willing, you can witness history every day..." Walking in the corridor of the IMCRC headquarters building, Lu Zhou glanced at the silver watch on his left wrist and said, "Okay, let's get back to business, tell me something through."

Shrugging his shoulders noncommittally to Lu Zhou's statement, Luo Wenxuan spoke.

"No problem, it happened like this..."

It took about ten minutes for him to tell Lu Zhou the whole story.

In short, just three days ago, they conducted a high-energy particle collision experiment in the 1.13-1.14Tev energy region through the Lunar Hadron Collider, hoping to provide more information for the high-dimensional particle theory model proposed by Lu Zhou. At the same time, complete the hyperspace theory that Einstein dreamed of completing.

However, just when they completed the last set of experiments, they discovered an extremely unusual thing...

"The last three sets of experiments were originally intended to be a control group. As a result, the energy data observed by the four detectors showed drastic fluctuations... and they were not general fluctuations that could be explained by quantum fluctuations, but Fluctuations of an order of magnitude!"

"It feels like..."

Looking at Luo Wenxuan who couldn't think of how to describe it after thinking for a long time, Lu Zhou spoke for him.

"It's like when you're playing billiards, someone next to you hits a rolling white ball?"

"That's right," Luo Wenxuan snapped his fingers, "That's the feeling! But it's still a little different, not just an extra stroke, but even an extra black ball on the table."

Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly.

If it is just the increase in energy, there are many explanations that can provide the basis, but if it is the simultaneous amplification of energy and mass, it is somewhat unusual.

"Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"Please, am I such a careless person?" Seeing the obvious distrust expression on Lu Zhou's face, Luo Wenxuan sighed and continued, "Well, even if you don't believe me, you should trust all the engineers of IMCRC and the physicists. academic experts."

Lu Zhou: "Have you checked the experimental device?"

Luo Wenxuan: "Does this still need to be asked? The first thing after the experiment was over, I asked the engineers at the lunar scientific research station to check the experimental equipment, but no matter whether it was the superconducting magnet or the high-energy particle launcher. Didn't see anything out of the ordinary."

"This is indeed a bit unusual..." Lu Zhou touched his chin and pondered for a long time, then continued to ask, "What is the result of the meeting? Have you held a seminar?"

"I called you right after the meeting."

In fact, even the phone call itself was one of the opinions reached after the discussion in the seminar.

Although IMCRC has many Nobel Prize-level scholars, there is almost no experience that can be learned from past experiments in the face of this uncommon sense observation phenomenon.

Compared with endless debates, many people would rather hear Professor Lu's views.

After all, the purpose of this experiment itself is to perfect his theoretical model of high-dimensional particles.

Looking at Lu Zhou who was lost in thought, Luo Wenxuan continued.

"...Professor Witten's guess is that the low-dimensional expansion of some kind of high-dimensional matter disturbs the curvature of the nearby space-time, resulting in abnormal observation data. However, the mass and energy under the conventional space-time scale do not actually increase or decrease. In fact My opinion is the same, but Professor Wilczek has a completely different opinion, and Academician Wu of the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has another opinion... Anyway, no one can convince anyone on this issue.”

Lu Zhou: "No matter what the reason is for the abnormality, it will definitely leave clues... Let me look at the experimental data first."

"Please follow me."

Quickly came to the office, Luo Wenxuan put his laptop on the table, entered his work email and password, and logged into the background of the server.

Soon, he retrieved the experimental data and gave up his position.

"See for yourself... Would you like something to drink?"

Sitting on the office chair, Lu Zhou's attention was completely focused on the data in front of him, and he replied casually.

"Instant coffee would be fine."

"Even if you want to drink the hand-milled one, I don't have it here... wait a moment."

Just when Senior Brother Luo turned to make coffee, Lu Zhou looked at the data on the screen line by line, and the more he looked down, the more his brows were furrowed.

Finally, his downward gaze stopped at a certain line, and he stopped for a long time.

After about three minutes, Lu Zhou took a breath of cool air and squeezed out a soliloquy from his mouth.

"……interesting."

As Brother Luo said, the experimental data is quite unusual. The four detectors distributed in the collision area, from the fragments of the lead ion collision, invariably collected masses much larger than the lead ion itself.

In fact, according to quantum chromodynamics, it is normal for mass and energy to increase and lose. After all, there are such wonderful things as zero-mass Goldstone bosons, or they are disturbed by the mass of future quarks, or even It is possible to produce something that cannot be observed by human beings' current technological means.

However, there is a limit to this mass or energy fluctuation.

Generally speaking, using a supercomputer to calculate lattice quantum chromodynamics, the part that can be calculated is 93%, which is the best answer so far.

However, the data presented to him at this moment overturned this result.

Through the analysis of the data collected by the experiment, the collision fragments collected on the energy spectrum exceeded the expected data by an entire order of magnitude...

This is no longer a problem that can be fooled by quantum fluctuations.

Not only his high-dimensional particle theory model will be threatened, but even the theory of relativity, the standard model, and even the mass-energy equation...the cornerstone of the entire modern physics building will be shaken.

Or something interfered with the experiment, just like what Senior Brother Luo described, someone put an extra billiard ball on the pool table and hit the chaotic table with a shot——

Just when Lu Zhou had such an idea, a sudden change happened.

It's like hallucinating.

The light blue window gradually appeared in his field of vision.

[Urgent Mission: Call of the Void]

Staring straight at the floating window in the field of vision, Lu Zhou froze there.

The last time something like this happened, it seemed to be the Martian bacteria...

At this time, Luo Wenxuan came back from the office with two cups of coffee.

Seeing Lu Zhou with an unnatural expression, he was slightly stunned and asked curiously.

"Do you see anything?"

In the eyes of others, Lu Zhou sitting in front of the computer desk really seemed to have discovered something.

As if confirming his guess, Luo Wenxuan watched Lu Zhou raise his head, and after a moment of silence, he spoke without reason.

"We... might be in trouble."

Looking at him inexplicably, Luo Wenxuan put the coffee cup on the desk,

"Trouble? Why do you say that?"

"Intuition..." It seemed that this statement was not accurate, Lu Zhou gritted his teeth, and corrected with a frown, "Scientific intuition."
