From a university student to a chief academician

Beili Country, Science and Technology Department, Director's Office!
The two directors sat opposite each other across the desk, staring at each other dumbfounded.

They just received the news that the Jinling Institute of Cosmology discovered dark matter.

They received this news last year, but they thought it was fake at the time.

After all, no one believes that dark matter has been discovered without real evidence!

But now they have received the evidence of the discovery of dark matter by the Institute of the Universe, which makes them feel bad.

What is dark matter?
Even people who do not understand dark matter can know the mystery of dark matter by searching online.

It is the foundation upon which the universe is built.

A thing that can create the universe, you say it is mysterious or not, and the benefits are not great!

After a long time, the director took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, looked at the deputy director and said, "We must obtain dark matter, it must be very useful."

For every newly discovered particle in science, countless applications can be developed.

Dark matter is the most mysterious of all particles. Even people who don't know the role of dark matter know that it can definitely develop countless very important things.

"Now it has been discovered by Ye Fei. With Ye Fei's ability, it must be able to produce countless important things."

"If Ye Fei is allowed to develop something extraordinary, it will be too late for us to regret it."

"So, we must obtain dark matter and develop dark matter."

The deputy director shook his head slightly and said, "Director, they will definitely not sell dark matter to us."

The director gritted his teeth and said: "If you don't sell it, you have to sell it. If they don't sell it, we will exchange it with them. Whatever they want, we will exchange it."

"No matter what method, we have to obtain dark matter."

The director is in a hurry, dark matter is the particle that creates the universe, such a mysterious particle, he can't believe that Xia Guo can develop anything from dark matter.

Perhaps, Xia Guohui will realize the rapid development of science and technology because of dark matter.

Perhaps, within a few years, Xia Guo's technology will completely surpass them and become number one in the world.

This is absolutely not allowed by the Secretary.

The deputy director shook his head slightly and said, "The higher ups will definitely not agree with your idea."

The director said: "I will talk to the higher-ups and try to get their consent."

The deputy director said helplessly: "Okay, then I wish you good luck."

The deputy director did not believe that the higher-ups could agree with the director's plan.

Xia Guo, Science and Technology Department, Director's Office!
Geng Ye said violently with red eyes, "Who on earth leaked this news?"

Geng Ye attaches great importance to several research institutes under Ye Fei, and conducts a strict review of every person in them.

Moreover, these people signed a confidentiality agreement before entering Ye Fei's research institute.

And these jobs are strictly monitored by people from the Technology Department.

Now someone from the Institute of Cosmos has leaked information about dark matter.

When the Institute of Cosmos discovered dark matter, it notified Geng Ye immediately.

Although Geng Ye and Ye Fei didn't care about the news of the discovery of dark matter by the Universe Research Institute.

But their initial expectation was that if no one deliberately leaked it, it might take five or six years for the news to be discovered by the outside world.

However, now that the outside world knows that the Institute of Cosmos has discovered dark matter, this is obviously leaked by someone.

What Geng Ye was angry about was not the leak of the news, but because the Institute of Cosmos had an undercover agent.

"Director!" The assistant stood aside and looked at the red-eyed Geng Ye, feeling a little scared in his heart, "Should someone be sent into the Institute of Cosmos to investigate this matter?"

"Investigate, we must strictly investigate!" Geng Ye said.

The assistant asked: "Director, will a press conference be held regarding dark matter to announce it?"

Geng Ye said, "Ask Ye Fei what he thinks."

"Okay!" said the assistant.

At this moment, the global Internet is in a state of disarray, and many self-media platforms are promoting the discovery of dark matter by the Jinling Institute for Space Studies.

Especially Xia Guo, the whole network is saying that the Jinling Institute of Cosmology has discovered dark matter.

Douyin, Weibo, Baidu, and the top ten most searched lists are all news about dark matter, Jinling Research Institute and Ye Fei.

Many bloggers on Douyin are popularizing dark matter.

These bloggers don't know what dark matter does. They just use the information about dark matter on the Internet, and then make a package and promote it.

No matter how tall and how to promote it, netizens were very excited by them. They only thought that dark matter was awesome, the Institute of Cosmos was awesome, and Ye Fei was awesome.

What's more interesting is that each blogger's content is different, and the logic is not self-consistent.

There are many false elements in it.

But netizens don't care.

Many netizens commented.

[Ye Fei hasn't seen any news in so many years, I thought he was exhausted!

I didn't expect this news to be such an explosive news just after it appeared.

Dark matter, the particle that creates the universe.

Maybe even create creatures, such as ancient dinosaurs.

Maybe, it can also give humans superpowers. 】

[Upstairs, this is reality, not fiction. No matter how powerful the dark matter is, it will not happen as you think. 】

[I agree that dark matter is just a particle. Although it is the main particle that constructs the universe, it is not exaggerated enough to be divorced from reality. 】

[Anyway, Ye Fei is really awesome that the Institute of Cosmos can discover dark matter! 】

【…】

Institute of the Universe, Ye Fei's office!
Ye Feizheng is sitting on an office chair researching the unification of quantum mechanics and relativity.

At this time, someone knocked on the door.

Ye Fei said without raising his head, "Please come in!"

The assistant walked in with a middle-aged man and said, "Dean, this is Director Yang from the Science and Technology Department."

Ye Fei put down the pen in his hand and looked up, and said with a light smile, "Director Yang, I'm sorry to trouble you this time."

The Department of Science and Technology has already told him that it will send people to investigate the undercover incident of the Institute of Space Studies, and Director Yang is the main person in charge of this investigation.

Director Yang smiled and said, "It should."

"Academician Ye, before I came, Geng Si had already told me that we would investigate secretly, so as not to disturb the normal work of the Institute of Universe Research and bring negative emotions to the people of the Institute of Universe Studies."

No one wants to be investigated.

People in the Cosmos Institute know that they are being investigated, and they will definitely have emotions, which will lead to negative phenomena in their work.

Therefore, the secret investigation will not let the people of the Universe Research Institute know that they are being investigated.

Ye Fei said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Director Yang said: "Academician Ye, then I'll start working!"

"Yeah!" Ye Fei nodded slightly, "I will send someone to work with you."

After all, Director Yang is not a member of the Institute of the Universe, so Director Yang's investigation of the Institute of the Universe requires the cooperation of the Institute of the Universe.

"Okay!" Director Yang said.

Afterwards, Director Yang turned and left.

After Director Yang left, the assistant said: "Dean, the Department of Science and Technology asked you whether to hold a press conference for the news that the Institute of Space Studies has discovered dark matter."

Ye Fei thought for a while and said: "Let's hold it, the time is set for next Monday, you go and prepare."

"Okay, Dean!"

The assistant left after speaking.

A week later, the Metaverse.

The press conference will be broadcast live in the Metaverse, which can greatly save the time of the Universe Research Institute and the reporters.

There is still an hour before the live broadcast starts, and more than 500 million people have already poured into the live broadcast room to watch.

And, this number is still increasing rapidly.

When the live broadcast started, [-] million people had watched it.

This live broadcast is for the whole world, so not only Xia people are watching, but also foreigners.

Of course, due to the special function of the Metaverse, all languages ​​in the Metaverse can be translated simultaneously.

Therefore, all foreigners can understand the language during the live broadcast.

An hour later, the live broadcast officially began!
Ye Fei and many reporters appear in the Metaverse.

Ye Fei glanced at the reporters present, and said, "Welcome to today's press conference, friends from the press."

"I know that many people have heard about the discovery of dark matter by Jinling Institute of Space Studies recently."

"For this news, it is true."

"I also know that everyone is full of curiosity about dark matter."

"For this topic, I will not go into depth. I can only tell you that dark matter is very magical. It is different from all the particles we have discovered in the past."

"I can only say so much, and I won't say much else."

When many people heard this, it was as if their hearts had been scratched by a cat.

You just say that dark matter is amazing, but how amazing is it!

People are born with a desire to explore mysterious things.

The phrase curiosity killed the cat is not only about cats, but also about people.

Curiosity also kills.

Ye Feidao: "Next is the questioning session, all journalists and friends raise your hands to ask questions."

In an instant, many people below raised their hands.

Ye Fei casually pointed to one.

"Hello, Academician Ye, I am a reporter from CCTV No. [-]. May I ask what role dark matter can bring to our lives?"

Ye Fei knew this reporter, and it was Tong Siyu, the current front-line reporter of CCTV [-].

Since all of Ye Fei's research has been kept confidential in recent years, Ye Fei does not participate in any academic activities.

Therefore, Ye Fei has not had any news in recent years.

Therefore, Tong Siyu has not interviewed Ye Fei in recent years.

Tong Siyu's question was also a question that all the reporters and audience present wanted to know.

When Tong Siyu raised this question, everyone present stared at Ye Fei closely.

Ye Fei smiled lightly and said, "Dark matter has a great impact on our lives. Let me just give you an example. I am currently studying the unification of quantum mechanics and relativity."

"It is well known that the unification of quantum mechanics and relativity is one of the ultimate problems in physics."

"And dark matter can very well help the unification of quantum mechanics and relativity."

"Hmm..." Many people present exclaimed.

Even many people who don't understand physics know the importance of the unity of quantum mechanics and relativity after hearing Ye Fei's introduction.

Its importance is equivalent to the eight major conjectures in the mathematics world.

If dark matter can help unify quantum mechanics and relativity, it seems to have a great effect.

But many people say: "Let's say it's important, it's really important, say it's not important, it doesn't seem to be important."

The important thing is to help solve one of the ultimate puzzles of physics.

But even if this ultimate problem is solved, it does not seem to have a great impact on people's lives.

Seeing everyone's confused expressions, Ye Fei felt amused.

He just wanted this effect, not directly stating the importance of dark matter, and letting everyone guess.

Of course, dark matter is very important, and its importance goes beyond helping the unification of quantum mechanics and relativity.

This is just one of the importance.

The most important aspect of dark matter lies in its application.

Ye Fei said: "Next!"

Many hands were raised in an instant.

Ye Fei randomly clicked on another reporter.

"Hello, Academician Ye, I'm a reporter from England. How did you discover dark matter?"

This is also a question that everyone cares about.

Ye Fei said: "This is a secret of our Institute of Cosmos, I have nothing to say."

When many foreigners heard this, their hearts were filled with deep disappointment.

Of course, they can also understand how Ye Fei could easily say such an important method.

Ye Fei said: "Next!"

Ye Fei then answered the answers of more than a dozen reporters.

The press conference did not end until more than two hours later.

At this reception, many reporters were very unwilling.

Because Ye Fei didn't disclose any important information about dark matter.

When asked how Ye Fei discovered dark matter, Ye Fei did not answer.

Asking Ye Fei what the role of dark matter is, Ye Fei only said that it can solve one of the ultimate problems in physics.

But they believe that it is impossible for dark matter to have only this role, and Ye Fei did not mention the really important role.

Ye Fei did not answer when asked about the research progress of dark matter.

Beili Country, Science and Technology Department, Director's Office!
The director looked at the deputy director who was sitting across the desk, and asked, "What do you think of the press conference Ye Fei held this time?"

The deputy director shook his head slightly and said, "Ye Fei was too cautious and didn't disclose any useful information."

The director said: "I'm not asking this question, what I'm asking is what do you think about dark matter?"

The deputy director said: "Ye Fei seems to be deliberately hiding important information about dark matter, and the information revealed is seemingly irrelevant information."

"But I believe that dark matter must have a very important role, but Ye Fei didn't reveal it."

The director nodded slightly and said, "I agree with your statement."

The director narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Although Ye Fei didn't reveal too much important information about dark matter, we still need to obtain dark matter."

The deputy director asked, "Have you talked to the above?"

Hearing this, the director felt very aggrieved when he remembered the conversation with the higher-ups, and said, "We talked."

"What does it say above?"

The director said angrily: "Those bastards/cooks know how to eat, drink and have fun every day, and they don't have the slightest view of the overall situation."

When the deputy director heard this, he knew that the higher-ups had rejected the director.

The deputy director asked: "Then what do you do now?"

"I'm going to bring in several Nobel Prize winners in physics and unite them to convince the higher-ups, so that the higher-ups should agree with my point of view."

The deputy director nodded slightly and said, "That's fine."

Time is like running water, and three months have passed in a blink of an eye.

The popularity of dark matter has gradually stopped, but it is still attracting global attention.

Institute of the Universe, Ye Fei's office!
At this moment, Ye Feizheng was on the phone with Geng Ye.

Geng Ye smiled and said, "Beili Country has someone to talk to me about. They want to exchange some technology with us for dark matter."

Ye Fei asked with interest: "What technologies are there?"

"Technology in fields such as biomedicine, space shuttle and agriculture."

Ye Fei shook his head slightly and said, "Forget it, these technologies cannot be exchanged for dark matter."

Hearing this, Geng Ye asked curiously, "How much effect does dark matter have?"

Geng Ye only knew that the Institute of Cosmos had discovered dark matter, but he didn't know its specific function.

Ye Fei smiled and said, "I can't say specifically, but it's very effective anyway."

"It's more important than metaverses and quantum computers."

Hearing this, Geng Ye was both excited and curious, and said: "Okay, I know, then I will reject them."

"Hmm!" Ye Fei said. (end of this chapter)
