Chapter 159 Assigning Tasks
The collapsed hotel is located in the suburbs of Zurich. The name is French, which translates to tulip. From the decoration point of view, it is low-key, luxurious and connotative. It is also a four- or five-star hotel.
Both air tickets and travel expenses are reimbursed by funds, and it is not their own money anyway, so naturally no one will be frugal in this regard.
While chatting on the road, Lu Zhou realized that although Senior Brother Yan was very low-key, he was also an incredible person.
As one of the four doctoral students led by Academician Lu, he is quite well-known among the younger generation of scholars in the field of theoretical physics in China.
His name is in the Beslll international cooperation organization. When the tetraquark state particle was discovered, he participated in the "full spectrum analysis" of the experimental results.
However, physics is not the same as mathematics, especially for such large-scale international scientific research projects involving multi-national cooperation, everyone's work is very important, and the contribution of one person is too insignificant in front of the entire team.
However, the discovery of the tetraquark state was rated as the "Best Scientific Research Achievement of the Year in the Physics World" that year. Even if it plays the role of a screw in it, this scientific research qualification is quite awesome.
And it's not just Beslll, this brother Yan, like Academician Lu, is also an official member of the LHCb cooperation organization. He is still a little bit higher than his intern.
After arriving at the hotel, Brother Yan parked the car in the parking lot, then helped Academician Lu drag the suitcase, and led the two of them towards the elevator.
While walking, he talked about tomorrow's itinerary.
"It is more than 270 kilometers from here to Geneva. We will leave tomorrow morning after breakfast, and we can still have lunch there."
Lu Zhou asked, "Why don't we take the plane directly?"
Senior Brother Yan grinned: "By plane? Switzerland is not even the size of a province like ours, and you have to get off the plane not long after it takes off. It's more convenient than driving."
Although he said so, Lu Zhou always felt that this guy just wanted to get rid of his car addiction.
Nothing to say all night.
In the early morning of the next day, the group continued on the road, and as expected, they arrived in Geneva before noon as Senior Brother Yan said.
After finding a restaurant in this famous "United Nations City" and having lunch in a hurry, Senior Brother Yan continued on the road and brought them to the headquarters of CERN on the Swiss-French border—legendary gathering of the world's most Bright minded CERN.
Parked in front of a modern hotel in this small town, Lu Zhou dragged his suitcase and was about to walk into the hotel when he suddenly saw an old man with a beard walking towards him.
"Welcome, friends from Huaguo, I knew you were coming when your student asked me to borrow a car." With a hearty smile, the old man stretched out his right hand, shook hands with Academician Lu, and then looked towards Lu Zhou next to him said, "A new face, your student?"
"Lu Zhou," Lu Zhou smiled friendly, and reached out to shake the old man's hand.
"Gran," Professor Glen nodded with a smile, "I seem to have heard of your name from a friend of mine in Princeton. Let's not talk about that, you should be tired after driving for so long Alright, I'll take you to your room."
"People are still old, not as good as when they were young." Academician Lu said with a smile, his voice was a little emotional.
"People will always grow old, it's inevitable... this way."
The rooms of the three are connected together, and the entire sixth floor is occupied by researchers from the Huaguo research group, but now only the research group from Shuimu University has arrived, and the people from Jiangcheng University and Huake are still on their way.
"Professor Grain is a master in the field of theoretical physics. He and Academician Lu have known each other for a long time, and he helped us a lot during the Beslll project," Senior Brother Yan introduced to Lu Zhou with a smile as he watched the two old people meet and reminisce. Said, "Do you want to familiarize you with the environment here?"
Lu Zhou: "Then please."
When you come to a new environment, the first thing you need to do is to get familiar with the terrain.
Following Senior Brother Yan, Lu Zhou became familiar with the surrounding environment.
Under objective evaluation, this is a place with a strong scientific research atmosphere.
It is rare for a scientific research organization to attract a large group of top talents in the physics world to gather here just by relying on its content.
In terms of project funding, CERN's funding is definitely not the highest in the world, but the theoretical physicists working here account for half of the world's theoretical physics community.
Maybe have a casual meal in a nearby town, and the person sitting opposite you may be an honorary professor of a well-known university, or a big cow in the field of theoretical physics.
The resumption of an LHCb project actually created a grand occasion of all nations coming to Korea in this remote "mountainous area", which is really enviable.
Finally, Lu Zhou took a photo in front of Building 1 of CERN.
Now this research center has been deactivated and has been converted into a museum-like place, where tourists can buy tickets to visit. Inside this research center, there is also a commemorative plaque that is the birthplace of the Internet.
Few people know that this is not only the world's largest hadron collider, but also the birthplace of the world's first website, the first Internet server, and the first browser.
The original intention of all this is to analyze experimental data in real time for a group of physicists.
It is precisely because of this that it is not only a holy place for physicists, but also gathers a large number of code farmers and hardware engineers, maintaining supercomputers for processing data, and connecting theoretical physics laboratories around the world.
If you compare it with this one, whether it is Google or Microsoft's research team, even if the two add up, they are completely incomparable. Even if their market value is converted into money, they can buy several larger hadron colliders.
After the visit, Lu Zhou and Senior Brother Yan had a meal in the cafeteria before returning to the hotel.
He took out the literature that he hadn't finished reading from the suitcase. He was about to read the report on the latest research progress of quantum chromodynamics for a while, but before he read two lines, there was a knock on the door.
Opening the door, Senior Brother Yan, who had disappeared for a while, came back again, this time stuffing a document into Lu Zhou's hands.
"There is a temporary meeting at eight o'clock in the evening. We have an internal meeting. The meeting documents are here. You should go through them first."
Lu Zhou subconsciously took the document and asked casually, "Temporary meeting? What are you discussing?"
Senior Brother Yan: "Assignment work, the results of the CERN meeting vote have just come out, and the high votes have passed the reanalysis of the resonance state of the previous baryon to charmon decay before restarting the experiment. We and Syracuse University in the United States are responsible for the B The other party’s suggestion is to write an analysis report independently at the same time, and then check the correctness at the end.”
"What do you need me to do?"
After all, with the system task in hand, Lu Zhou is naturally quite active.
He didn't expect that in the end, he just came here for a vacation, and it didn't play any role. In the end, the system threw 1 point of experience in his face.
This kind of mission with unlimited experience rewards is quite rare. It is not guaranteed that his income from one mission will be worth four or five missions.
"We will assign specific tasks later. What you need to do now is to go through the documents in your hands as soon as possible, and then quickly enter the state. We need an expert who is good at mathematics to help us win this game," said At this point, Senior Brother Yan grinned and patted Lu Zhou on the shoulder, "Come on, I'm optimistic about you."
