Chapter 1305 Lively Press Conference Scene
Shanghai.
The headquarters of the IMCRC.
In order to give a clear answer to the media all over the world and all the people who are paying attention to this matter, IMCRC vacated the conference room on the first floor of Building 2 one day in advance and transformed it into the layout of the press conference site.
However, what no one expected was that even though they had made sufficient preparations, when the press conference started, the scene was still out of control for a while.
The colorful OB vans almost filled the parking lot, and everyone crowded at the door, almost crushing the separation belt for evacuating the crowd at the door.
Everyone wants to occupy the most favorable position, and all the media are worried that their cameras will not be able to grab the best shooting position. No matter how loud the organizers of the meeting are, it is of no avail to ensure that everyone can enter the venue.
To be honest, this was the first time Luo Wenxuan encountered such a difficult situation.
Although IMCRC has announced many outstanding results before this, such as the Z particle back then, and the void theory, even if the two add up, they are not as crazy as they are today...
"Is it the same when CERN discovered the Higgs particle?"
Muttering to himself, Luo Wenxuan, who was standing by the window watching the crowd downstairs, turned his gaze to the tall and thin man standing beside him.
Hearing the question floating towards him, the tall and thin man shrugged his shoulders and said.
"No...but a similar situation happened earlier."
The one who spoke was Epton Oulet, a French professor of physics who is proficient in four languages.
Before that, he served as the director of Seide Lab at CERN, but in recent years, CERN has not had any major projects to do, and they are sending researchers out, so he took advantage of the opportunity to completely switch to IMCRC.
As for now, his position is the director of the Z Particle Laboratory.
Strictly speaking, the subject where Professor Davek discovered the gravitational anomaly caused by the Z particle was one of the many research subjects in his laboratory.
As for the experiment in Jinling one day ago, he was also standing at the scene - as one of the physicists who witnessed that historical moment.
"Which time?"
Professor Ollette: "Oprah's mistake, the neutrinos sent from France to the Gran Sasso laboratory 732 kilometers away were 60 nanoseconds faster than the speed of light-you should have heard of this."
"... Isn't that an oolong?"
"Yes, but before confirming that it was an own goal, how many people dare to be sure that it has no possibility of even 0.1%? Although in fact it did not, many people were still shocked by this result. "
"And this time, it's the same."
With a look of fascination, Professor Ollette smiled and sighed softly.
"The speed of light can be surpassed... This sounds like a fairy tale, but now, we have all entered the fairy tale."
As he spoke, he stretched out his fist and touched Luo Wenxuan's shoulder.
"Think about how to satisfy the curiosity of those laymen, they will definitely not let you go easily."
Thinking of the crazy crowd outside, Luo Wenxuan's scalp tingled.
This should have been Lu Zhou's task.
But now he has retreated.
Yes, retreat!
Go to retreat after the experiment!
Liar!
"Can't you give me some advice?"
"No," looking at Secretary-General Luo who had turned into a bitter face, Oleite smiled mercilessly and said confidently, "The next chairman is not me, why should I do such a thankless job for you?" matter."
After saying that, he turned around and walked away without looking back.
Seeing the figure disappearing at the end of the corridor until it was finally cut off by the elevator door, Luo Wenxuan slowly regained consciousness as if he had just woken up from a dream.
"I see……"
Previously, Luo Wenxuan couldn't figure out why Academician Lu would choose to play and disappear at this time, and even use such a "clumsy" excuse as retreat to cover up his own work.
But now, at this very moment, he suddenly understood everything.
The reason why Lu Zhou chose to leave at this critical moment and leave such a tricky task to himself could not be because of some retreat or other reasons, but the real reason was to train himself!
Otherwise, with that guy's character of never giving up every opportunity to pretend, how could he let himself announce to the world this historic achievement of IMCRC?
Moreover, this achievement was made by himself.
Thinking that Lu Zhou had considered so many things for himself, Luo Wenxuan was inexplicably moved.
Especially when he thought of how much he complained and even resented for Lu Zhou's painstaking efforts before, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
I really...
It's too scumbag!
"... But then again, how did Professor Ollette know about this kind of thing? Is it so obvious?"
It is naturally impossible for Lu Zhou to tell others about the next IMCRC chairman, and it is even more impossible for him to talk to others.
It turned out that this was not expected to be seen.
However, after knowing this, Luo Wenxuan was actually a little happy.
IMCRC has many outstanding talents, but the excellence of many of them has been concealed under the light of Professor Lu himself, and there is no room for them to display their talents.
And he can be regarded as one of them, and it can even be said that he is the one that has been covered up more seriously.
It’s not that Lu Zhou has influenced him, it’s just that no matter how many top conferences he has spoken at, no matter how many excellent articles he has published, and how cutting-edge research results he has produced, people’s understanding of IMCRC is basically only one director Long, will not pay even a little bit of attention to the Secretary-General of IMCRC.
Although he himself didn't really care about it, and was happy to hold the big brother's thigh as a salted fish, but it was impossible to say that he didn't have any regrets in his heart.
From a certain point of view, Professor Ollette's words can be regarded as a recognition of his ability.
Otherwise, it would not have been said in this tone...
Thinking of this, Luo Wenxuan's heart gradually glowed with unprecedented energy.
Even if it is to live up to the expectations of friends!
Even if it is to live up to Lu Zhou's trust and cultivation of him!
He also has to carry this press conference down to fulfill his responsibilities as the secretary-general of IMCRC——
That is the responsibility to the community of shared future for mankind!
...
When the hour came, IMCRC's press conference started as scheduled.
Wearing a suit, Luo Wenxuan, the secretary-general of IMCRC, walked to the stage of the press conference, gently stacked the brochures in his hands on the podium, and spoke in a clear voice.
"Good evening everyone, I am the Secretary-General of IMCRC, Luo Wenxuan."
"Because of work reasons, Academician Lu is unable to attend the press conference. I will replace our Academician Lu in this press conference and explain some necessary issues in detail."
Like most press conferences, this work is basically reading the script according to the script, and the real highlight is still to come, answering questions from reporters.
Now that the whole world is paying attention to IMCRC's experiment yesterday, one can imagine what kind of tricky questions will be bred when those curiosity gather together.
It took about fifteen minutes for Luo Wenxuan to read the speech in his hand from beginning to end. And taking advantage of this opportunity, he also sorted out the thoughts of the entire press conference and the problems that might arise in a while in his mind.
After finishing this matter, he put the speech aside, and then glanced around the audience.
"...The following is the routine questioning session."
"If you have any questions, you can ask them now."
Almost as soon as the voice fell, the entire venue was like a pot of boiling oil, and a pair of hands bounced like lightning-like stars.
"Hello, Secretary-General Luo, I am a reporter from CTV. What does the latest discovery of IMCRC mean? Can you give a detailed explanation to the audience in front of our TV?"
"sure."
Facing the flickering camera, Luo Wenxuan tried to calm his mind, raised his voice and continued, "Through the Z particle clock designed by Professor Lu Zhou, we use the Z particle to interfere with the gravitational bond between the planets when it oscillates." effect, creating a long, narrow ribbon of low space-time curvature — what we call a hyperspace tunnel."
"It is like a highway built between folded mountains. Its physical properties are no different from those of the conventional universe. The only difference is that its curvature relative to the nearby space-time is gentler, and the distance in three-dimensional space is shorter. short."
"In short, through this hyperspace tunnel, relative to the same two endpoints in the universe, the photon we shoot from one end to the other actually travels a shorter distance than we can see...It is like copying It’s like taking a shortcut.”
After the CTV reporter finished asking questions, another reporter with a foreign face immediately held out the microphone in his hand: "May I ask Secretary-General Luo, if the hyperspace theory is proven, what impact will it have on our world?"
"Correction, it's not if, but it's been confirmed," Luo Wenxuan emphasized, and continued, "The birth of the hyperspace theory will have a huge impact on communications, astronomical observations, and even long-distance space activities. Of course, as to when the impact will be felt by us ... it may be quite some time."
As soon as this sentence was spoken, there was a commotion from the audience.
Especially when they heard the phrase long-distance space activities, many people's eyes showed obvious excitement.
Almost at the moment when he finished answering, a microphone came up at a high speed, without any intention of him taking any rest time.
With an unconcealable excited tone, the reporter with long brown hair spoke quickly.
"Hello, Secretary-General Luo, I'm a reporter from the Los Angeles Daily News! Does this mean... as people say, interstellar travel will become a possibility!"
This issue is also what most of the reporters on the scene are concerned about, and it is also something that many people write down in their shorthand notebooks.
However, after hearing this question, Luo Wenxuan showed a helpless expression on his face, and said with a light sigh.
"Perhaps it is possible."
"But I must emphasize that this possibility may not be realized by the scholars and experts of that era until a century or even several centuries later."
"No matter from which point of view, the hyperspace theory is a very perfect start. We are faster than we imagined, and we have mastered the way to break through the limit of the speed of light."
"But I don't think it's wise to have too many unrealistic expectations about it now!"
At this time, a reporter stretched out the microphone in his hand and continued to ask questions.
"So in your point of view, do you hold a pessimistic view on the fact that the aerospace industry can achieve faster-than-light travel in this world?"
Without hesitation, Luo Wenxuan nodded.
"Yes."
"I'm pessimistic about that."
