Chapter 649 Proven?

It's also dinner time.

After finishing dinner quickly, on the way back to the office, Lu Zhou called his senior sister and told him about the batch of equipment.

After listening to Lu Zhou's statement, Chen Yushan sighed and said.

"You should call me for this kind of thing, the price is obviously cheaper."

Lu Zhou made a helpless expression: "I thought about it later, but it was too late to change my mind."

Chen Yushan said speechlessly: "Why is it too late? What face do you need to be a business? If you think the price is too low, just change it."

Lu Zhou: "Uh, this is still not good, I have already agreed."

Chen Yushan: "Okay, if you feel embarrassed, we can change the method."

Lu Zhou: "What method?"

With a smirk on the corner of her mouth, Chen Yushan continued.

"One million is just the installation fee for the whole machine, and we haven't discussed the service fee for the subsequent system update."

Lu Zhou couldn't laugh or cry: "...Don't stroke the wool too much."

To be honest, although Shen Jilai's two leaders are very displeased, he still hopes that domestic machine tools can have a place in the international market.

Even though he is a layman who knows nothing in this field, the two words of production and research will always be inseparable enemies. If one is short, the other will not be able to please.

In the future, he wants to build a collider, an outer space laboratory, and research some heart-pounding high-tech projects. After all, he cannot do without the support of the country's industrial background. If you rely on imports for everything, then in the end, everything will be done for others...

"You still feel sorry for them getting up," Chen Yushan scolded, "Let me tell you, if you are really worrying about it, you shouldn't set the price so low! If you are behind, you should pay more tuition fees, and you will only go when you know it hurts." Go forward. If you don’t feel sorry for the tuition you pay now, you will never think about doing research and development, and you will never think about being better for technicians. Do you think any high-tech companies are used to relying on subsidies? They really have market competition Powerful companies are all hurt by patent fees!"

When Chen Yushan said this, Lu Zhou felt that it made sense, and nodded after thinking for a while.

"I don't really want to care about this matter, so let's do as you say."

Chen Yushan: "It should have been left to me!"

When it comes to work matters, Chen Yushan seems to be a different person, whether she speaks or does things, she is different from the previous vigorous and resolute.

But for Lu Zhou, it was quite refreshing to see a different side of her.

Returning to the research institute's warehouse at night when no one was around, Lu Zhou installed the CNC system written by Xiao Ai into another machine tool. He doesn't need to worry about the next thing. Xingkong Technology will be responsible for how to deal with this matter.

The next day, people from the Bureau of Science and Industry came over and loaded the machine tool that was in the warehouse into the truck.

When passing by the truck, Lu Zhou happened to see Yang Zhongquan, so he greeted him with a smile.

"Yo, Mr. Yang, are you waiting for dinner?"

Thinking of what he said earlier, Yang Zhongquan blushed suddenly, turned his head and slipped away knowing that he was justified.

Secretary Wu next to him apologized with a smile.

"This...the machine tool is too expensive. One machine costs tens of millions. I can't afford it, I can't afford it."

Lu Zhou smiled and didn't speak, just glanced at him and left.

...

The space launch site is still under approval, and with the guarantee from the Bureau of Science and Technology, it shouldn't be a big problem. As for the space shuttle manufacturing base, it was approved a week ago, and the equipment of the construction unit has already entered the construction site one after another, and has begun to cultivate repeatedly in the enclosed open space.

The construction unit that won the bid is a local engineering company in Jinling, which has the construction qualifications for military engineering projects. Under the conditions of taking into account safety and confidentiality, it should be no problem to complete the construction of this assembly plant.

The progress of the project was watched by professionals, so Lu Zhou didn't worry too much about it, but continued to focus on the research on the quality gap.

According to the results of his previous discussion with Senior Brother Luo, the most reliable way to find the particle with mass m is to introduce the concept of quantum Yang Mills field.

This requires that in the classical sense, the field propagating at the speed of light has no mass, while quantum particles have positive mass, that is, there must be a positive number, so that the energy of any excited state must not be less than short-range force.

Through emails, Lu Zhou communicated with Professor Fefferman and Professor Witten respectively, and the suggestions they got were almost completely different.

From Witten's point of view, he believes that it is not a reliable way to solve the mass gap problem by seeking the quantum Yang Mills field, and there is a more reliable method starting from M theory that can explain the existence of the mass gap.

However, the problem is that, whether it is M theory or string theory, even though the physics community has found some indirect evidence, there is no direct evidence to prove this theory that explains the nature of the universe. From a rigorous point of view, using a stronger conjecture to prove another conjecture is obviously unreliable.

Unlike Witten, Professor Fefferman is very optimistic about the quantum Yang Mills field method proposed by Lu Zhou, and wrote so at the end of the email.

"When traditional methods cannot solve new problems, the best way is to create new methods to adapt to this ever-changing world and ever-changing science. By creating a quantum field corresponding to the above-mentioned classical action, To solve the problem that the scalar places on the space-time manifold cannot be described, I think this method is very interesting, at least worth a try.”

"If it weren't for the fact that I'm so busy with my own research project, maybe I can't wait to buy a plane ticket and fly over to study this problem with you."

In addition to communicating with Professor Fefferman and Professor Witten through emails, Lu Zhou's only partner now is probably Brother Luo.

I am ashamed to say that although the Institute for Advanced Study has been established for so long, there are not many real masters. The Institute of Computational Materials is not bad, both the conversion rate of scientific research achievements and academic level can be rated as the top in China and world-class.

But the research institutes of the two theoretical disciplines of physics and mathematics...

Basically, it is supported by Lu Zhou's own fame.

It can only be said that the cultivation of both talents and academic atmosphere takes time.

Institute of Physics.

Director's office.

When he couldn't find the inspiration to solve the problem, Lu Zhou came here every day to visit, and he was going to exchange with Senior Brother Luo the new discoveries they had made during this period of research.

Seeing Lu Zhou walk into the office, Luo Wenxuan who was staring at the computer raised his head and asked.

"Do you have a clue about your quantum Yang-Mills field?"

"It's not close, but I feel that I am very close to the answer. It may be separated by a layer of window paper...Of course, it may also be a layer of frosted glass." Lu Zhou walked to the water dispenser with ease, and Lu Zhou took it An instant coffee, made myself a cup, "What about you?"

Luo Wenxuan shook his head with a distressed expression.

"I feel like I'm still separated by a wall."

Lu Zhou: "If you think about it, you will come up with it... By the way, what are you doing?"

Luo Wenxuan: "Search the papers on Arxiv every day to see if there are any interesting ideas. You don't know, since your last lecture ended, the number of papers on the Yang-Mills equation in the past two months is almost It’s an exponential rise, but the average level of papers is also falling exponentially.”

Lu Zhou smiled and said: "It's understandable, after all, everyone has held back for too long."

Luo Wenxuan sighed and said, "Yes, after all, this is the most difficult problem to solve in this century."

After taking a sip of coffee, Lu Zhou said in a chatty tone: "That's not necessarily the case. In my opinion, the Riemann Hypothesis is more difficult. At least in the past few decades, the academic community has not made no progress on the Yang-Mills equation. , but the research on Riemann's conjecture is like a headless chicken, and I can't find a clue."

"From the standpoint of a mathematician, right?" Luo Wenxuan shrugged, and said in a rather helpless tone, "But no matter who is more difficult, I think as long as I don't solve it, it doesn't make any difference to me."

While speaking, he tapped the mouse with his index finger.

However, at this moment, staring at the computer screen, he suddenly froze obviously.

Noticing the expression on Senior Brother Luo's face, Lu Zhou asked casually while holding a cup of coffee.

"What's wrong?"

Averting his eyes from the computer screen, Luo Wenxuan looked up at Lu Zhou with a strange face, and said in a complicated tone.

"The problem of mass gap... seems to be proven?"
