Tech Hammer

Life is nothing but waiting...

This is a sentence Chen Mingcai has been accustomed to saying recently.

This apparent chairman of Jitu Security is really not being hypocritical. Previously, Ning expected the results to be available in 2-3 days. Liu Wei thought it might take one or two weeks to get a unified understanding, but today is already the first time. Twenty-three days have passed, and sixty-seven top physicists transferred from all over China are still sealed in the underground research institute without any results...

This is no longer something that bothers him.

After all, these people are transferred from universities and scientific research units. There are also professors who are even working on the front line of undergraduate studies. They have already affected the teaching process. Some people have even begun to inquire about what projects these professors and researchers are involved in. It is indeed strange that there has been no news for such a long time.

As a last resort, everyone has been informed that they can call through the internal phone number of the R\u0026D base to report that they are safe first. However, only about half of the people are ready to call back. The other half directly said that they cannot spare the time and simply ask colleagues to help call the work or home. Say hello…

Chen Mingcai couldn't bear it any longer. While he was organizing calls among these academic leaders, he randomly stopped an academic leader and revealed his identity, hoping to find out how far Ning Wei's theory had been verified.

Then the other party pushed up his glasses and replied calmly: "Mr. Chen, scientific matters cannot be rushed..."

After hearing this, Chen Mingcai became really anxious and said quickly: "Professor Xu, what do you mean by not being anxious? Is it so difficult to verify a theory? When Academician Ning reported before, didn't he say that he had proved it? You were just verifying it. That’s all.”

"Mr. Chen, it's not that simple. Let me tell you this, Academician Ning's verification process is actually a bit tricky. He used the reverse hadron recoil of the W boson when it was produced to reverse the current results and establish Model. This will cause a problem..."

"Wait a minute, Professor Xu, we don't understand what you're saying. Can you make it simpler?" Chen Mingcai asked with a frown.

The professor who was stopped frowned and asked: "I don't understand this, so how did Academician Ning report to you before?"

Liu Wei, who was standing aside, quickly said: "Academician Ning gave an example. He said it was like many cars colliding in the opposite direction, but at a certain moment, the high-speed camera that had been pointed at the impact point could not observe the car that should have Some tires, and then..."

Before Liu Wei finished speaking, the professor suddenly realized. Not only did he look at the two of them strangely, but he also took the initiative to interrupt Liu Wei: "Don't waste time, I understand what Academician Ning explained. How to say it? , you can understand that Academician Ning only used a camera near the impact point when he verified it, but there is another possibility that the huge energy generated instantly pushed the specific particles we need to observe in a very short time. Out of observation range.”

"Well, how should I put it? This extremely short period of time is beyond the understanding of ordinary people, and it is also beyond the capture capability of the high-speed camera in the example. In this case, more data from detectors are needed to confirm that this situation does not exist. . Although at present, this possibility is very small, physics is a very rigorous subject, and Academician Ning’s theory is too important. If once confirmed, the cost of relevant research will be calculated in units of tens of billions, so how! You can’t be too careful.”

"Now we have been divided into two teams. Seven professors are working with Academician Ning to review the correctness of Ning's theory to ensure that at least there are no loopholes in the field of theoretical physics. The other 60 people are divided into six groups, 24 We work non-stop with the cooperation of March Intelligent System to analyze this data. This data is too complex, so please understand that we have done our best."

After saying this, Professor Xu suddenly looked radiant and his voice became louder: "But one thing is that judging from the current progress of our work, the probability that Academician Ning's theory is correct has exceeded 8%. 10. Do you know what this means? A new theory will be able to unify the microscopic world with the macroscopic world, and maybe we can also find a theory that completely unifies the basic forces! The Schrödinger equation, described by the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle It’s a phenomenon, and we’ll be able to explore the nature of physics!”

"By the way, if you can influence the upper-level decision-making, I have a suggestion. Because data verification is not a very technical thing, if you want to get results faster, I think you can mobilize a group of serious and meticulous people. Students come here to share the verification work. Of course, this is just my personal suggestion purely from the perspective of meeting the schedule. If you have other worries after all considerations, just pretend that I didn’t mention it. No more, I’m going to be busy. !”

After saying that, the professor left in a hurry, not even bothering to say hello to the two of them at the end.

This is a good thing. It shows that everyone is really racing against time to do things. What I mentioned is also good news. Although the verification time is indeed longer, it is not an internal disagreement, but an attempt to complete the rigorous verification process. , leaving no flaws.

As Professor Xu said just now, if the conclusion is wrong and hundreds of billions are invested, it will be great fun if there is not even a splash.

So Chen Mingcai felt relieved and continued to wait...

…

For the outside world, time is indeed a good medicine that heals everything.

When the upgraded LHC continued to produce data, the physicists who were still busy here did not bother to make up jokes to tease Ning Wei and attack Edwin George. Everyone has more important things to do.

There is no way, who makes serious journals not accept jokes? Our main business is still to find the truth of the universe.

Edwin George also returned to his post after taking leave.

On the first day back, he called Abel into his office.

"What's going on now?"

Seeing his old friend walk in the door, Edwin George asked directly.

Some topics are not convenient to communicate via email or phone, so it is safest to chat in person.

"The good news is that there are no similar violent fluctuations in data, but I conducted some private investigations and found some anomalies. Jack Ness, do you have any impressions?"

"Of course, a professor from Harvard University. I remember he only officially joined CERN a few years ago."

"Well, he resigned some time ago. Just after Ning Wei left."

"Oh? He resigned? Where did he go?"

"I don't know. This is beyond my ability. I asked his colleagues, but they didn't know much. This guy is very tight-lipped. But the colleague who helped him pack his things and mail them back told me that that guy The address I left is in New York. I used this address to do some research and found that a newly registered calibration and testing laboratory was established at that address in half a month and is applying for its testing and accreditation qualifications."

"this……"

Edwin George thought for a while and said: "If he can get the qualification, this is actually a good business, and it happens to be his major. Maybe he has the support of friends? Maybe some rich people in New York are interested in it. This industry. If I can help him successfully obtain the qualification, he will definitely earn more than at CERN!"

Abel nodded, and then said with a more solemn expression: "You are right, but there is another detail. According to my understanding, Jack Ness has a very good relationship with Professor Luo Zhiqiang of Hua Xia Ningwei. But in Ningwei After the experiment, Professor Luo was transferred back to China, and Jack Ness took annual leave. I very much hope that this is all a coincidence, but it is too coincidental. What is even more frightening is that I have not experienced any of these things. If you can find it easily, let alone others.”

These words are too true. After all, neither Luo Zhiqiang nor Jack Nice is a professional when doing this kind of thing. They think they are cautious, but in fact there are loopholes everywhere. This even made Abel feel annoyed...

It has nothing to do with IQ, it's purely about expertise. For example, if Liu Wei were to arrange this matter, it would definitely be much more perfect than two physicists with extraordinary IQs, and at least they would not leave countless clues.

So the two looked at each other for a long time, and Edwin George suddenly said: "I remember Jack Nice is an American, right?"

Abel nodded and replied, "Yes, he was born in Florida."

Edwin pointedly pointed out: "As long as Americans are involved in anything, 80% of it will not be good. If Americans and Chinese people are involved together... No matter whether this thing gets better or worse, we have nothing to do." .”

Abel's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately: "That's true! If there is an emergency, I will operate in this direction."

Seeing that his old friend understood what he said, Edwin George still couldn't help but complain: "You know? Even so, I still prefer to deal with Chinese people. At least they really have a business attitude. Really willing to give money. As for the Americans, if they want to interfere with something of ours, even if it will cause us great losses, they will still make a lot of money from it! Bah... robbers!"

Abel thought for a while and found that this was indeed the case. He couldn't help but spat: "Who says it's not? Damn it, these robbers! Don't worry, I will make arrangements! I will go and have a good time with Mr. Ron tonight Let’s talk.”

"Please, Abel!"

…

Huaxia, Artificial Intelligence Frontier Research Center. Two weeks have passed by in a blink of an eye, and it has entered November, and winter has officially entered the capital. Now there are more than 67 professors enclosed here. After Professor Xu made suggestions to Chen Mingcai, Chen Mingcai reacted like the above that day, and the next day another 133 people were urgently transferred to the research center.

However, the second batch of people who were transferred to do auxiliary verification were not the students requested by Professor Xu, but a group of researchers urgently transferred by the Chinese Academy of Sciences from all levels of physics institutes, with assistant researchers as the main force, supplemented by a few intern researchers and associate researchers. researcher.

For no other reason than the average age of this group of researchers is only 28 years old, which is when people who are targeted at scientific research are most able to endure and fight.

The main building of the research center is now even more lively. There are so many more people, and there are also more manpower for logistical support. Of course, these details are not important. What is important is that everyone is waiting for the more than two hundred people to give I will give you an accurate message as soon as possible.

…

November 17, 2028, Sunday, 3:12 am.

Chen Mingcai felt that he would remember this time forever. This was the time when he received the good news and took a screenshot to record it.

It can be brought into the state of having finished a day's work and being in deep sleep, but was suddenly interrupted.

When he finally regained some consciousness, he subconsciously picked up the phone and answered blankly, then heard an extremely excited voice outside the door: "Mr. Chen, the verification is over. After a total of forty-two days of continuous fighting, the verification results have been reviewed internally. We have reached a consensus and it is confirmed that Academician Ning’s theory is correct!”

Hearing this, Chen Ming woke up suddenly. He picked up his phone and looked at the time, then quickly unlocked it and took a screenshot.

For no other reason, he felt that this time should be recorded in history.

He hurriedly put on his clothes and went out, only to see Liu Wei fully dressed and standing outside the door with an excited look on his face.

"The news that just came?"

"Yes, Academician Ning just informed me!"

"Look, look, why is Academician Ning still busy at this time? Didn't I tell him earlier that he has to rest on time? What should I do if this person is exhausted? Forget it, since Academician Ning hasn't slept yet, you Hurry and prepare the car."

"Preparing a car? Where to go?"

"Where else can we go? As mentioned above, if the verification results of this achievement come out, if it is good news, no matter what time, we must listen to Academician Ning's report and suggestions as soon as possible. I have to report it immediately, you Go prepare the car and start the formal report at about five o'clock in the morning."

"This...Academician Ning is still celebrating with everyone."

"Don't celebrate yet. There are plenty of opportunities, so hurry up. By the way, I'd like to emphasize to Academician Ning that it's better to dress appropriately and introduce academic results in a normal way. Don't talk about irrelevant things like when I was chatting with you. , let me beg him!"

"..."

…

In the lecture hall, at a very private small report meeting, Ning Wei very steadily introduced his theoretical results and verification process to the three bosses. The tedious demonstration process is reported in the most concise way, and the focus is on the technical development direction that the theory can guide.

"Ahem, Xiaoning, excuse me, what do you think is the biggest difficulty in applying this theory to guide practice?"

“The biggest difficulty at present has actually been overcome, which is our artificial intelligence computing platform. Because this involves a huge amount of calculations, we need a center that can coordinate all computing power to conduct simulations, including future verifications. Especially cross-space coordinate conversion, now the March artificial intelligence platform has been proven to be able to shoulder this burden."

"The second thing is people. Now we need more people to invest in the testing process. Physics experiments often find inevitable rules from various coincidences, which requires extremely bold attempts. The March Intelligent Platform can be used every day Dozens of plans are fed back based on model responses, which requires a team to verify based on these plans.”

"I believe that as long as these two points are resolved, we will be able to make concrete results soon!"

Ning Wei said loudly.
