Chapter 228 Carbon Decomposition Diagram

As the aperture acceleration phenomenon becomes more and more popular in the academic community, many big names in the field of physics have also expressed their opinions.

Whether it is Jarvon Bernas, editor-in-chief of the physics department of Science, or Edward Witten, the founder of M theory.
Or it could be George Parisi, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2021 and had a lot of exchanges with Xiao Yi because of the supermassive W boson, and Frank Wilczek, who discovered asymptotic freedom in the theory of strong interactions.

It can be said that there is no one in the physics community who would not be excited by this discovery.

Of course, these people are basically theoretical physicists, and for experimental physicists, the excitement in their hearts is even greater.

Just like CERN, it has begun preparing for another maintenance and upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider and has begun preparing to release the liquid helium inside.

Every time the Large Hadron Collider operates, it needs to be filled with 120 tons of liquid helium to cool the superconducting circuits and maintain their superconducting state, which can be said to be a huge cost.

In addition to this, they are also preparing to try to synthesize the carbon nanoporous material with a pore size of 26nm described in the paper. According to the data in the paper, the probability of aperture acceleration in a 26nm pore size is higher, so in order to ensure that when their collider is started, the particles can have a greater probability of being accelerated, so it is necessary to synthesize carbon nanoporous materials with more 26nm pores.

Of course, in this case, they would need to apply for relevant patents from Xiao Yi first.

Because only Xiao Yi's carbon nanoporous material patent can help to stably synthesize materials with this pore size.

Of course, Xiao Yi did not reject their application and was even willing to license it to them for free, with only two requirements. The first requirement was that they could only use the patent for research on this matter and not for any other purpose, such as providing such materials to battery manufacturers. The second requirement was that after they successfully synthesized such materials, they needed to tell him the synthesis method and other means, and the resulting series of patents also needed to be granted to him unconditionally.

CERN naturally agreed to these requests.

After all, Xiao Yi was willing to license his patent to them for free, so these requests were very reasonable.

In this way, Xiao Yi used a restricted patent license in exchange for the work of a bunch of top teams.

When the CERN team finally succeeded, he could use their results to further study the aperture acceleration phenomenon, especially the 26nm aperture, to understand why there is a greater probability of producing the aperture acceleration effect.

Of course, when CERN will succeed is another matter.

Xiao Yi was not in a hurry about this. Anyway, the aperture acceleration effect could not help him study the first-wall material of nuclear fusion. It could only provide some help for his understanding of the carbon element.

Of course, as the discoverers of this phenomenon, he and Liu Xiaodong have also received considerable attention.

This achievement, in terms of potential, is fully worthy of a Nobel Prize.

However, since the fundamental principles of this phenomenon have not yet been understood, the Nobel Prize will definitely not be awarded to them directly.

If the final principle is explained by someone else, then in the end they may share the Nobel Prize equally with another person.

But no matter what, this achievement does have the potential to win a Nobel Prize. When Professor Yang Zhenning learned about this, he excitedly said: "This discovery is definitely the most important discovery in physics in the past 50 years! It is completely worthy of a Nobel Prize! The most important thing is that if this is a new fundamental force, then it means that humans will once again gain a fundamental force that can be used extensively in daily life! Just like the electromagnetic interaction force."

What Mr. Yang said hit the nail on the head.

It is undoubtedly a very important thing that a new fundamental force can be utilized by humans simply by allowing electrons to pass through a nanoscale aperture.

At present, the only fundamental force that humans can use on a large scale is the electromagnetic interaction. As for the weak force and the strong force, they can only be observed in nuclear reactions and high-energy physics.

Among them, the use of nuclear reactions has directly brought humans weapons that can destroy entire races and civilizations.

As for gravity, it is even more invisible and intangible. Perhaps its only use to humans is that it allows them to stand steadily on the ground without getting further and further away from the earth.

Therefore, the aperture acceleration phenomenon now has more than just significance for the physics community, but we must also consider its significance for all of humanity.

Amidst this uproar, major media outlets have begun to come up with various eye-catching headlines.

"The opportunity for humans to break out of the earth and enter the universe? X-particles, or X-force?"

"Electricity amplified 100 times out of thin air? Magic or reality? Mysterious X-particles, miraculous X-particles"

《The fifth fundamental force! The miraculous effect brought by X-force!》

Aperture acceleration? Energy amplification 100 times? Click the link to take you into the past and present of X-particles.

《Shock! This undiscovered new physics particle can actually allow humans to...》

……

Various news reports have kept the popularity of this matter high.

Similarly, the Science Island Laboratory became popular again.

Such an important new discovery was made in their Science Island laboratory, so it’s hard not to be popular.

For a time, other laboratories around the world could not help but turn their attention to this laboratory that had just been built less than two years ago.

In fact, this laboratory only has one laboratory building.

It makes people sigh, so no matter how high the specifications of a laboratory are, it still takes people to decide the value of this laboratory in the end.

With Xiao Yi, the Science Island Laboratory has become one of the most important laboratories in the world.

In any case, this time the aperture acceleration phenomenon has allowed the Science Island Laboratory to enter the ranks of world-renowned laboratories. Although it is ranked at the bottom, it has already proved its value.

Of course, in addition to these reputations, reporters from all walks of life also came here, wanting to interview Xiao Yi and Liu Xiaodong.

However, Xiao Yi was not very interested in these interviews and rejected a lot of media. In the end, he only kept an interview with the CCTV. Then he turned around and handed the interview to Liu Xiaodong.

Liu Xiaodong was miserable about this.

He is a typical introverted science and engineering guy, otherwise he would not have been so obedient for so long.

He had never experienced speaking in front of a camera, let alone in front of the camera of CCTV?
Although he also knew that this was an opportunity to become famous.

But there is no way, the Lord has appointed us and we cannot disobey.

So he had no choice but to accept the interview obediently and wait for the show to be broadcast in the evening.

……

In the lounge, a group of researchers from the Science Island Laboratory gathered here. On the table in front of them were all kinds of food, including barbecue, stir-fried vegetables, etc., making it like a small party.

And at the very front, there is a TV, the program on which has been tuned to CCTV-1, waiting for the news broadcast to be broadcast.

Today, they all came here to witness how their friends who are in the same laboratory as them perform when they appear on CCTV.

Because there are currently less than 50 researchers in the laboratory, and they are all in the same building, even those with different research directions basically know each other.

So when they learned that Liu Xiaodong had actually been interviewed by CCTV, they all wanted to see it with their own eyes.

Fortunately, the lounge was quite large, and since more than 20 people did not come, the remaining 20 or so people sitting inside were not very crowded.

"How did you discover this aperture acceleration in the first place?"

While waiting for the news broadcast to begin, Tang Chunming, one of the three people who had participated in the lithium-sulfur solid-state battery project with Liu Xiaodong, couldn't help but ask.

Liu Xiaodong chuckled and said, "It's just luck. You know the carbon nanoporous materials I was responsible for. At that time, I found that some of the data looked a little strange. Then Professor Xiao asked us to sort out all the experimental data and hand it over to him. At that time, I couldn't help but ask, and then it was like this."

"Of course, it was mainly Professor Xiao's analysis. If it weren't for Professor Xiao's analysis, I would never have thought that this thing was actually related to X-particles. At that time, I completely thought that this thing was some special properties of the electromagnetic interaction force."

Upon hearing this, the others present couldn't help but become even more envious.

What is luck?
This is called luck!

By sheer luck, this Nobel Prize-level discovery was made.

And fortunately, their boss is Xiao Yi and not someone else, otherwise, this achievement would probably not have fallen on Liu Xiaodong.

They also knew what happened to Liu Xiaodong.

Just at this moment, the door of the lounge was opened.

Xiao Yi walked in.

Everyone inside was stunned for a moment, then they stood up and started shouting.

"Professor Xiao!"

"Director Xiao!"

"God Xiao!" Obviously, they were a little surprised that Xiao Yi would come.

Xiao Yi smiled and nodded at them, saying, "I'll also join you in the fun and see how Liu Xiaodong's interview goes."

Liu Xiaodong smiled and said, "Don't worry! I will definitely not bring shame to our laboratory."

Tang Chunming patted his shoulder and said, "Be alert and don't lose face!"

Xiao Yi nodded, then found an empty seat and sat down. Someone next to him handed him a cup of milk tea.

Well, it’s the Huizhou-based Kawanka full-course milk tea.

"There are other drinks. Do you want anything else? We also have wine and liquor."

Xiao Yi took the milk tea, rolled his eyes and said, "That's it. Forget about the alcohol. In our laboratory, it's better not to drink alcohol. At most, we can just drink some beer."

When those who were drinking white wine heard his words, they quickly hid the white wine in their hands.
Xiao Yi glanced at him and said, "Okay, it's okay to have a drink today, just don't come here to drink in the future."

"Yes! Director!"

The group of people then started drinking again with a smile on their faces.

Of course, from today onwards, the only liquor that can be found in the Science Island laboratory is probably the alcohol in the storage room.

At this time, the time finally came to seven o'clock. With the familiar prelude sounding on TV, the news broadcast officially began.

As usual, it starts with some international news, and then finally moves on to social news.

The host Li Mengmeng said: "Then let's turn our attention to the field of science."

"Recently, in the Science Island Laboratory in Feishi, Anhui Province, a team led by Professor Xiao Yi discovered a new physical effect at the nanoscale, named the aperture acceleration effect. This discovery is considered one of the most important discoveries in physics in the past fifty years, and the relevant paper has been published in the internationally renowned journal Science."

"It is reported that when controlling electrons to pass through the nanopores of a carbon nanoporous material, the speed of the electrons will be greatly increased. This phenomenon is believed by the physics community to come from a particle that has not yet been clearly identified, the X-particle, which was first predicted by Professor Xiao Yi in 2022."

"According to the speculation of some physicists, this phenomenon may not only represent the existence of X particles, but also represent a new fundamental force of the universe waiting to be discovered."

Then, the scene jumped and directly came to the outside of the Science Island Laboratory, and Liu Xiaodong finally appeared in front of the camera.

There were also subtitles introducing his identity next to it.

【Science Island Laboratory-Liu Xiaodong】

Everyone present laughed.

"Lao Liu, why do you look so nervous?"

Liu Xiaodong rolled his eyes and said, "It's your first time being interviewed, how can you not be nervous? Let's try it, it's your turn?"

Everyone laughed again, and for a moment the lounge was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Later, in an interview with reporters, Liu Xiaodong also focused on explaining how the aperture acceleration phenomenon was discovered, the significance of this phenomenon, and what significance it will bring to science and society.

Although he looked very nervous, his answers were still very clear and organized.

He said everything that needed to be said and got to the point, which was quite professional.

As for whether ordinary people can understand it, that’s none of their business.

Finally, the scene turns to the current society's evaluation of this matter, as well as the views of Academician Xue Kun, who is also a big name in the field of quantum mechanics in China.

Academician Xue also gave a very high evaluation.

Finally, back in the studio, host Li Mengmeng gave some summary comments and then moved on to the next news.

And in their lounge, applause broke out.

"Awesome! You kid!"

Others were convinced by Liu Xiaodong. At least, his interview went quite smoothly.

Xiao Yi also patted Liu Xiaodong on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Not bad, you are quite talented in giving interviews. It seems that if there are any more interviews in our laboratory in the future, you can be invited to participate."

Liu Xiaodong: “Ah?”

"No!"

Suddenly, the entire lounge was filled with a happy atmosphere.

At this time, Xiao Yi picked up another skewer of barbecue from the table. After eating it, he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I'll leave first, you guys continue."

Then he picked up the unfinished cup of milk tea and left the lounge.

Everyone said, "Director, take care!"

After Xiao Yi left, they felt a little relieved.

Although Xiao Yi looked quite young, in their eyes, he was not much different from those respected old professors in their fifties or sixties.

"By the way, I always feel that Professor Xiao has been very busy recently."

"Indeed, I feel that way too."

Everyone else nodded.

"It was as if he was stumped by some problem."

"Could it be particle X?" someone speculated.

"That should be it... I guess only X-particles can make things difficult for him."

Just as everyone was nodding, Liu Xiaodong shook his head and said, "I don't think so."

“He should be working on something else.”

He thought about the situation when he met Xiao Yi before, and said: "I don't know how difficult it is that he is studying now, but it must be something very important. Maybe its influence is not inferior to that of X particles."

"So awesome?"

“It’s just that awesome.”

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but use their imagination.

However, they soon stopped arguing.

As someone nearby took down the projection cloth, turned on the projector and started playing the movie, their second activity tonight - watching a horror movie - began.

So everyone's attention was shifted to the projection screen, and they began to judge these ghost films from a scientific perspective.

Time also passes quietly.

……

About half a month passed.

In Xiao Yi's office.

Looking at the newly built model on the draft paper, Xiao Yi showed a satisfied expression.

Based on analysis and predictions under multiple theories, he has now solved many of the mysteries of carbon.

With this framework model, he can predict some undiscovered properties of carbon under various existing theoretical systems!
Including structures that can withstand the impact of high-energy neutrons and high-temperature plasma flows!

"As for the naming of this model..."

After a moment's thought, Xiao Yi made a decision: "Let's call it Carbon Solution Diagram!"
