Tech Hammer

Ning Wei's attention was attracted by the information that started to be collected on the screen, and he soon had questions.

"I remember that today's test plan only requires an energy range of about 10GeV. Why did it jump to 450GeV when it was turned on?"

The experimental record planned today is not to find new particles. The main purpose is to collect quantum effect data in certain atomic energy structures, and the energy level requirements are not high.

In fact, the equipment used today is only the super proton synchrotron, which is certainly incomparable to the LHC. It is only a circular accelerator with a diameter of two kilometers, and the maximum energy output is only 450GeV. The LHC, which is still under maintenance, currently has a maximum energy output of 13TeV. The conversion ratio between GeV and TeV is one thousand times that of the latter, that is, 1TeV=1000GeV.

But 450GeV is basically the upper limit of impact for state-of-the-art equipment...

Luo Zhiqiang glanced at the monitor and smiled: "It's the old routine of CERN. It has to make you feel that the money is worth it. You will know when the LHC starts in half a month. During the test process, these foreigners dare to Open the power segment directly to above 8TeV. After all, you gave one billion, this should be part of the VIP-level treatment."

There's nothing wrong with saying that. After all, the larger the energy level is, the harder it is to accelerate the particles, and the greater the amount of electricity required. You must know that electricity prices in Europe have not been cheap in recent years. Even though CERN has multiple subsidies, this thing consumes a lot of power.

From this point of view, the money is well spent.

The device had been started, and the two began to look at the curves on the screen and chat casually.

Most of the time, Luo Zhiqiang was explaining to Ning Wei the meaning of the signals received by these sensors.

To outsiders, the various data, symbols, and dots of various colors that are constantly flashing at this time can easily make people drowsy, but for scientists who deal with these data every day, they can learn from it. Saw a lot of things.

The sensitive sensor will directly output the output signals of different charged particles, ionization energy loss, even simple noise, etc...

It is difficult to immediately establish an intuitive impression of these things simply by looking at the data fed back by the sensors, but for Luo Zhiqiang, who has worked here for many years and has analyzed countless similar data, he can naturally explain it more clearly.

Although it is still uncontrollable at what angle the particles hit based on current technical conditions and equipment, as long as they hit enough times, useful information can always be collected. For Ning Wei, it was indeed interesting to listen to Luo Zhiqiang explain these data.

Just like this, one person spoke and the other listened, until a quarrel came from outside the ajar door, interrupting the harmonious atmosphere of communication between the two.

Ning Wei turned his head and glanced at Luo Zhiqiang in confusion. The CERN-based professor shrugged and just turned around and walked to the door. Before he could push the door of the conference room open, the door of the conference room was blocked by someone outside. After pulling hard, a burly Westerner appeared in front of the two of them. The staff behind him obviously wanted to hold him, but they seemed a little unable to do so.

Ning Wei subconsciously glanced at Liu Wei, who was standing on the other side of the door, and clearly saw that his dear brother Liu was already on alert. He was standing right behind the white man, and he could basically hit him with just one stretch of his hand. The position on the back of the guy's head. Probably because I judged that this guy was not a high threat, I didn't take action.

Based on Ning Wei's understanding of Liu Wei and his team's working ability, he was sure that this tall and thick-looking white man was most likely an internal staff member of CERN, or a scientist stationed here. Otherwise, this There is a high probability that it will be impossible to come in front of him. Even if this is not domestic. Soon, Ning Wei's judgment was proved.

Because Luo Zhiqiang, who was standing in front of the door, asked angrily: "Professor Alex, what do you mean by this?"

"What do you mean by asking me? No, I should be the one asking you what do you mean today! Damn it, according to the plan, our project should be carried out today. The whole world knows how important my project is, but now we You were actually rejected from the laboratory. You are committing a crime, Luo, you are committing a crime against science! I simply can’t imagine how important an experiment it is that my research has to be postponed!”

Professor Alex in Luo Zhiqiang's mouth roared loudly, and the waving arms showed how angry the professor was at this time.

What made Ning Wei even more sympathetic was that he could even see Tumo Xingzi rushing out like crazy. Fortunately, Luo Zhiqiang was blocking it in front, otherwise it would definitely splash on his face. He was lucky, but Lao Luo was definitely not so lucky. He would probably have to wash his face later.

While sympathizing with Luo Zhiqiang, Ning Wei had already taken out his cell phone from his pocket.

The first words the professor said when he walked in the door made Ning Wei understand what was going on. This was obviously not a problem that needed him to solve.

At the same time, Ning Wei had no interest in Professor Alex's research project.

Most of the big names in scientific research believe that their own projects are the most important in the world, and other experiments should give way to their own projects. This is why CERN needs so many administrative staff. Everyone feels that their own projects are important. Whose project comes first and who has to queue up needs to be considered comprehensively. Today's incident was obviously caused by Edwin George's lack of coordination.

However, Ning Wei's actions directly attracted the attention of the man at the door, and his arrogant eyes glanced directly at Ning Wei: "Are you Ning Wei?"

It's a bit disrespectful because it's used in a question.

However, it is said that many Westerners are face blind when looking at Easterners, so it is probably normal that they cannot recognize them.

If he and Lao Luo were the only ones here at this moment, Ning Wei would most likely choose to answer directly: "I'm not."

But at this moment, Liu Wei was standing there, giving Ning Wei the courage to be fearless. He nodded confidently and replied: "Yes, it's me. What's wrong?"

He was really not afraid at all. Ning Wei had witnessed with his own eyes the fighting ability of his brother Liu, who could knock down a man who was stronger than Professor Alex in front of him with just a casual elbow. When he was sent to the hospital for examination, it was said that he had several broken ribs.

how to say……

Although this incident happened in China, the person at the time was also an international friend, so Liu Wei was somewhat emotional, and he almost had to suspend his duties and go to solitary confinement because of this incident. In the end, he would rather carry it than let Liu Wei leave, and finally solved the matter by writing a profound self-examination by Brother Liu.

Not to mention that Liu Wei also specially applied for a legal weapon certificate when going out this time.

So Ning Wei is very courageous.

Fortunately, although Professor Alex looked excited or even annoyed, he had no intention of taking action. Instead, he scolded you with reason: "I know you, you are a mathematician, your artificial intelligence, That thing called March is very interesting, but you are just a mathematician, and at best you can be considered an excellent programmer! But do you really understand high-energy physics?"

Faced with such a harsh question, Ning Wei thought about it carefully, then nodded, then shook his head again, and replied sincerely: "Well, I don't dare to say that I really understand. I can only say that I understand a little bit, right? "

Professor Alex was startled by his sincere and apparently unafraid attitude. The main reason was the language barrier, because someone who knew a little bit of Chinese could easily be interpreted as someone who only knew a little bit when expressed in English...

Obviously, Professor Alex had prepared a back-up plan. If Ning wanted to answer that he did know a lot, he might have to ask a bunch of questions, but he didn't know how to deal with this little knowledge.

Of course, being speechless only lasts for a moment. Facts have proved that most scientists who can gain a foothold at CERN have extremely high IQs. Generally speaking, people with high IQs will not react too slowly, so soon the white professor asked again: " Do you only know a little bit? Since you are self-aware, I can’t figure out why you want to do this unknown experiment and waste my time?!”

The momentum is still very strong...

Ning Wei thought for a longer time, and then still answered honestly: "Maybe because I am rich? It just so happens that money can be recognized here... Mr. Alex, do you think there is such a possibility? In the future, your Maybe I paid for the experiment indirectly?"

After these words were spoken, the temperature in the conference room dropped rapidly.

Alex stared at Ning Wei, most likely because of these words, he was silent for nearly thirty seconds before continuing to question: "Do you know how important my project is? This is a It is a world-class project. If my experiment goes well, we hope to rewrite the standard particle model and bring the world's understanding of the microscopic world closer. Originally, today, yes, today, my team should use CMS to conduct Test record!”

"We need this information very much. And you actually think that you can control these resources by waving US dollars? You don't understand physics at all, let alone particle physics. I don't understand why you are doing this useless work. Maybe you think you can use these data to brush up Two papers will make you more famous, but I need to tell you that this is a crime, and what you have to do now is to stop this crime immediately!"

"That's it..."

Ning Wei thought for a while, and then replied seriously: "It's actually very simple. Professor Alex, I believe you have heard that my experimental project has spent money this time. If you can give me Return the money you spent to me, and I will make the decision and let your team take over. To be honest, I just felt that I spent a little too much this time. Really, when will the money arrive, and when will I let it go? How about leaving the laboratory?"

The phone call in his hand has already been dialed, and Ning Wei has already seen the other person answer the phone, so what he is saying now is not only for Professor Alex opposite, but also for Edwin... George listened.

It was indeed necessary to show his dissatisfaction at this time, otherwise he suspected that these people really regarded him as their scapegoat.

"As a mathematician, you actually think that you can do whatever you want if you have money? I need to remind you that this is CERN, a place where science is taught!"

"Well... maybe you should ask Mr. Edwin George this question. Maybe he can give you a satisfactory answer instead of asking me. In fact, I don't know if you can do whatever you want if you have money? I will ask you later. But now you have affected our work, so I hope you can leave immediately, otherwise you will be responsible for any unpleasant things happening. In addition, I think the experimental data we are doing now is also the most important. What’s important is that what you are doing right now is a real crime! Because my research will definitely change the world more than you!”

He responded with reason and evidence, but Ning Wei was really impatient. The guy in front of him was so ignorant, and he already wanted to wink at Liu Wei and throw this guy out.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Edwin George appearing outside the door, and then hurried in.

As soon as he entered the door, he didn't bother to say hello to Ning Wei. He stood next to Luo Zhiqiang, facing the professor who was looking for trouble, and frowned and said: "Professor Alex, what are you doing?! If I remember correctly, the project department The latest plan has been sent to your inbox. Haven’t you paid attention to your inbox for so long?”

"Of course not. I did receive the email, Edwin, but that doesn't mean I will accept this arrangement! This arrangement makes no sense! You should understand better than anyone how important my research project is, and I cannot accept the extension. It’s postponed! That’s why I’m here! It’s not fair!”

Obviously, the American professor didn't have much respect for Edwin.

Of course Edwin's aura was that of a supervisor: "Alex, yes, I understand, but there are 2,500 professors here, and the projects each of them is responsible for are very important. So if you still want to make trouble here, Maybe I’ll suggest that the project department re-audit and plan this year’s booking trials. Look me in the eyes, Alex, believe me, this is no joke!”

"You don't have the power, Edwin!"

"No, the committee gave me this power before I left the position of supervisor! Of course, you can also file a motion to ask the committee to fire me early, but before that, I seriously suggest that you leave now, otherwise I dare not I promise that I will make some suggestions to the project department at the next meeting.”

Facts have proved that arrogant people still have some scruples when facing current management...

After Alex stood in a stalemate opposite Edwin George for ten seconds, he finally turned and left without saying a word, but gave Ning Wei a hard look before leaving...

Of course, Ning Wei ignored this glance...

There are many people who like to glare at him. For example, Director Tian used to glare at him every now and then, and he has long been used to it.

"I'm sorry, Ning, it was an accident. You know, Americans are like this. They always think that the universe revolves around them. They like to praise others for being the best in the world, but in fact they think they are the best!"

"Uh? Aren't you an American?"

"Of course not, my God, how could I be a rude American, I'm Danish!"

"Um?"
