I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 406 Is it related to me? (5555)

To do an experiment, the experimental process may take three minutes, but the preparation may take three hours.

There were tiny dots of silver starlight flickering inside Yuzu's body. She used her talent "arcane insight" to scan the huge monster in front of her in detail, which was nearly ten meters in diameter and over three meters in height.

This is the volume after the reactor is dismantled. UCLA's complete electric tokamak is even larger!
Caleb Monroe, the white guy with freckles in the lab, was a Yunso fan and insisted that it was a new Bluetooth player from Sony, which made it very unhappy.

I am not a Sony player, I am an arcane life created by the level 31 legendary wizard Sekalis Oselton!

I have been the first author in SSCI!

A few days ago, when you said that you wanted to use a large model to train and simulate the evolution of the wake field and optimize particle trajectories and acceleration efficiency, the deep learning paper you read was also written by me!
Foolish humans, how could you know how great I, Professor Yorz, am?

"Yuzu, are you finished scanning?" Fang Yu calibrated the last set of Langmuir probes with skillful movements, and then communicated with Yuzu through the Etheran Core in the Sea of ​​Consciousness.

"It has been scanned and modeled, great master." Yuzu was startled and quickly replied, "ETPD is actually not complicated, but some of the details are indeed ingenious."

A great master is certainly not one of the stupid humans, and the master of the great Professor Jorz is certainly also great.

The arcane mage who reached intermediate level in the shortest time in history!

And this is happening in this Dharma-Ending Age!
Youzi could never have imagined that the apprentice who only had servant privileges and could only perform simple magic tricks in the Lorin Tower a year ago has now become a mid-level wizard!

On average, one level is advanced every little over a month. This situation has never happened in the tens of thousands of years of arcane history on the main plane.

If Patrick O'Shea, who took 250 years to achieve his legend, is called the "Son of the Magic Network", then his master is simply the father of the Magic Network!
No, it should be said that he is the master's licking dog.

Youzi had seen Fang Yu's promotion. The swarming magic network energy rushed in like a flatterer, which was far from being as stingy as alms during the Great Arcane Era.

In Yuzu's memory, when arcane mages were promoted in the Age of the Great Arcane, they were basically indifferent when the arcane mages were "baptized" by the magic network energy, with an attitude of "That's all, take it or leave it".

Is this because there is only one arcane mage in the world?
Yuzu couldn't figure it out, and didn't try to think about it.

"Gis, I didn't expect you to do so well on your first try."

Kevin Stone, who was climbing up the ladder and installing a turbulence suppressor on the top of the ion chamber, gave Fang Yu below a thumbs up.

He had just taught Fang Yu how to adjust the Langmuir probe set. Fang Yu only tried it twice and quickly mastered the skills and tricks, making the adjustments quickly and well.

"Thank you, my girlfriends all say the same thing."

Fang Yu shrugged, rechecked the probe array, and then clapped his hands with satisfaction.

I am indeed a genius.

"Fuck! You enviable dog, did Emily bring you coffee again today? She was never this proactive when she was dating Dr. Barnes before."

Kevin Stone fastened the last few buckles of the turbulence suppressor while looking at it enviously, and then checked it carefully.

"I really don't understand women. I don't understand why they say they like decent and ambitious men, but then they turn around and go out with that kind of ruffian. I doubt that guy can even get a community college diploma..."

Kevin Stone spoke sourly. He was not talking about his previous girlfriend who had a PhD and never used shampoo when washing her hair. That girlfriend had dumped him some time ago. He was talking about a junior girl who was studying public affairs and he was currently pursuing her.

He met this girl at a campus activity a few days ago.

He had just broken up with his girlfriend, and this local Hispanic girl from California took the initiative to talk to him. They got along well and she told him that she liked men like him who were upright, motivated and smart.

As a result, after a few days, he found out that the other party was dating a little gangster who claimed to be a street artist, and the two of them were much more intimate than when they were with him.

"She didn't lie to you. Her mind tells her that she should like decent and ambitious men, but her subconscious mind is only attracted to the kind of ruffians you mentioned. The iceberg theory also applies to choosing a mate. What you like physiologically and what you should like rationally are completely different. There's really nothing we can do about it, Kevin."

Fang Yu shrugged and crawled out of the cavity.

"It's just a physiological liking. Humans evolved with the help of their big brains. Otherwise, what's the difference between us and gorillas?" Kevin Stone cursed, but he felt a little regretful and scared after he said it.

What you just said is not correct enough for Zheng Zhi, so don't get reported.

"Fang, the turbulence suppressor has been installed and the preparations are complete. We can start the test. Let's go to the control room."

Kevin Stone shrank his neck, climbed down the ladder, and called out to Fang Yu who was still standing on the top-floor operating platform.

"After ETPD is turned on, remember every reaction process."

Fang Yuyong casually reminded Youzi in his mind and was about to leave the equipment area when he suddenly remembered the signal that appeared in the last experiment.

"By the way, Youzi, pay attention to the 12.6THz periodic signal from last time and see if it will appear again this time." Fang Yu hesitated for a moment and decided to let Youzi observe it.

The frequency of the signal seemed very familiar to him, but he just couldn't figure out what it was similar to.

For this extremely high frequency signal, instrument false signals and noise are indeed a possibility, but they could never completely convince Fang Yu.

Of course, it is possible that it is a signal manifestation of unknown particles or dark matter radiation, but it cannot be proven in isolation. Even if it is, there is no way to confirm the existence of unknown particles and dark matter through this set of signals.

After all, this is just an insignificant one among the hundreds of thousands or even millions of signals in each experiment.

Try the experiment again this time to see if the signal appears again.

Fang Yu looked through the records of the previous two experiments, and this signal had never appeared in the experimental records at that time.

From this perspective, the possibility that it is a false signal is indeed very high.

However, let's observe it again. This time, we have improved the experimental plan and updated the experimental equipment to see if we can still capture the mysterious 12.6THz signal.

Originally, Fang Yu just wanted to figure out how to build a tokamak, but after being exposed to high-energy physics for a period of time, he really developed a great interest in this subject.

Although arcane and physics are basically two different things, and even the existence of some arcane phenomena directly negates certain quantum physics theories, the discipline of high-energy physics still brings Fang Yu a lot of inspiration in the field of arcane.

The same is true in reverse.

In short, Fang Yu is now indeed very interested in the 12.6THz periodic signal.
-

"The main console has been started and the authority verification has passed."

"Laboratory environment testing begins: vacuum pressure is stable, air humidity is 0.5%."

"Ambient temperature: 21.3°C, high-precision error control ±0.1°C."

"Magnetic coil array current: normal (35.2kA), electromagnetic coil intact."

“Particle targeting chamber: no impurities and particulate deposition detected.”

Along with the start of the ETPD self-test program, the automatic voice prompt of the system console also started working.

As Kevin Stone entered a series of commands on the main console, Ma Wei and Caleb Monroe's bodies began to tense up, reporting the warm-up progress of the core equipment at any time.

"The vacuum chamber has been evacuated and started. The current vacuum level is 10 to the negative seventh power Torr."

"Plasma guide cooldown mode activated."

"Liquid nitrogen cooling pipeline injection started. Liquid nitrogen injection completed, pipeline temperature stabilized at -196°C."

"Plasma cooling system pressure detection is normal."

"The magnetic coil is in superconducting state activation...cooling state is stable."

"Particle injection system activated, current target particles: hydrogen ions."

"Particle guidance rate: 300 keV nominal."

……

"Langmuir probe array signal detection initiated. Data link stable."

"Neutral beam heating system ready, parameters locked to target range."

As soon as the last two reports from Ma Wei and Caleb Monroe finished, Kevin Stone took a deep breath and said, "Let's get started."

After that, Kevin Stone typed out a series of instructions on the keyboard, and the experimenters on site began to operate various experimental instruments in an orderly manner, and started to execute step by step according to the requirements of the experimental plan.

"The experimental sequence has started to load the core magnetic field ring."

"Plasma chamber current: 45.3kA, plasma ring is forming."

"Electromagnetic coil field pressure: monitoring of equilibrium electron density fluctuation rate."

.........

As the last report came to an end, a series of data streams began to appear on the computer screen in front of him.

Kevin Stone breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no alarm in the data stream scrolling on the screen.

"The vacuum chamber pressure... the particle guiding field... the plasma generation state... the electron temperature... are all normal! They are completely in line with the experimental plan!"

Kevin Stone stared at the computer screen with a flushed face, and from time to time he would glance at the ETPD through several layers of lead glass.

"This experiment will definitely get the desired results." The pimples on Ma Wei's old face became redder, as if they were about to burst.

If this experiment is successful, at least one article can be published in a top journal, and as a core member, he will definitely be able to be co-first author.

In recent years, there have been more and more top journal papers in the field of quantum and high-energy physics with co-first authors, with the lowest number being three or four and the highest even seven or eight.

The main thing is that physics nowadays basically relies on interdisciplinary cooperation, with theoretical physicists responsible for theoretical derivation, experimental physicists responsible for experimental design, and data scientists conducting mathematical modeling and result analysis... In this way, being co-first author has become the norm. And if the experiment fails... hehe, it means that the research progress of this team will be delayed by at least half a year, and the opportunity to publish in a top journal may be handed over to other research groups.

The most nervous person was undoubtedly Kevin Stone, who stood behind Ma Wei and kept peeking and looking at the computer screen in front of Ma Wei.

In the experimental plan, the plasma discharge in the tokamak will last about 30 seconds. For Kevin Stone, this is simply the slowest 30 seconds since he was born.

Fang Yu was also looking at the screen, but his mental focus was always on the situation in the laboratory.

It couldn't be seen from the outside, but in his mental feedback, he could clearly see the purple plasma flow gradually rotating into a ring in the cavity within a second, like a giant energy dragon bound by a magnetic field, twisting and tumbling in the fiery core.

It does seem to be going well.

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and was about to withdraw his mental power when he sensed that a turbulent excitation wave did not seem to be suppressed by the turbulence suppressor at the top of the cavity. Instead, it broke through the stable zone of the magnetic field coil and was madly tearing the plasma boundary.

In the fifth second after the plasma was generated, two red "warnings" suddenly popped up on Ma Wei's computer screen!
not good!

Before Kevin Stone and Ma Wei could react, Fang Yu's hands were already tapping rapidly on the console.

"What's going on!? Fang! What are you doing!?"

Kevin Stone's head buzzed.

What was the warning just now? Fang, what are you doing? How can you switch to manual mode!? Are you going to ruin this experiment?

"Look at the data. One of the turbulence suppression sensors has fallen off! There's something wrong with the feedback data!" Fang Yu stared at the screen of the console, constantly tapping on various parameters.

Kevin Stone turned his head and looked at Ma Wei's computer screen. Sure enough, in just four or five seconds, it was filled with red "warning" messages!
Finished!

The experiment that I prepared with great difficulty is ruined.

Kevin Stone instantly felt what despair was.

Turn off the engine. Kevin Stone was about to say this when he looked up at the screen, only to see that the number of warnings on the screen suddenly decreased. After a second or two, all the red "warning" messages disappeared.

This shows that the plasma flow has completely returned to normal!

what's the situation?
Kevin Stone's mouth opened wide.

"It's done. I manually adjusted the parameters of the turbulence suppression magnetic field and shielded the detached sensor. It should be basically fine. The experiment still has 7 seconds, 6 seconds, 5 seconds..."

Fang Yu's voice rang in Kevin Stone's ears.

Manually adjusted turbulence suppression magnetic field parameters?
Is this what you are saying?

Kevin Stone continues to open his mouth wide.

There are dozens of sensors in total. How do you know which one fell off?

Did it really fall off? Was it fake? How could a human being do this?
But the system has indeed prompted a warning just now.

A few seconds passed while we were talking, and ETPD had already entered the automatic shutdown procedure.

ETPD requires active cooling and radiation attenuation, and must go through multiple rounds of evacuation and gas replacement in the vacuum system. It can only be entered after being tested and confirmed by the experiment administrator to be harmless to the human body, which also takes at least one hour.

Kevin Stone looked at Fang Yu, who was concentrating on checking data in front of the console, and couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

Judging from the data, the plasma did have a problem with turbulent loss of control, and Fang did stabilize the situation after manual operation.

But how is this possible?

The turbulence suppression system requires data from dozens of sensors to operate normally. If any one of them falls off, it may trigger an automatic emergency shutdown. How did he discover the specific error within three seconds, determine which sensor had fallen off, and urgently and accurately block the sensor, thereby avoiding automatic shutdown of the ETPD?

Is this really something humans can do?
Not only him, but everyone in the experimental group was dumbfounded.

What UCLA lacks the least is true talent.

Each of them, in the first 20 years of their lives, may be the smartest person they have ever met. They are the children of other people's families and always crush their peers.

But after arriving here, they experienced for the first time what it felt like to be crushed.

There are just too many geniuses.

Kevin Stone's former roommate was a genius from Argentina. He never studied, slept during class and partyed at night. He started reading three days before the exam and got A's.

Kevin was designing an experiment. He walked by and with just one look, he was able to find out the five optimization items in the experiment. He was a genius among geniuses.

You never know whether the guy next to you who plays beach volleyball and surfs at the beach every day will publish a successful paper tomorrow.

But can these people do what Fangis just did?

I guess... I can't do it...

"Fang, how did you determine which sensor fell off just now?" Kevin Stone asked cautiously.

"It's very simple. The time series data suddenly changed. From the data, we can tell that sensor No. 23 fell off, causing the turbulence suppression abnormality. All we need is to be fast enough."

"My LOL hand speed is 350, so this is nothing."

Fang Yu stared at the screen and flipped through the data, without even turning his head, and answered casually.

Just look at the data! ?
Is that reasonable? Is that reasonable? Is that reasonable?
Kevin Stone's head roared like thunder, and he cursed three times, as if he was shattered into pieces by the truth of science.

Last time you did Fourier calculations in your mind, this time you did spectral analysis of time series data in your mind, right?

In comparison, the last mental Fourier arithmetic wasn’t that scary.

The feedback signal of the plasma magnetic field is a high-dimensional coupled nonlinear system. Any signal distortion will cause feedback chain noise.

Like a chaos pendulum, you can't tell with the naked eye which part is wrong.

Could it be that there really is a monster in this world who can do Fourier calculations in his mind?

Kevin Stone felt that his thirty years of scientific literacy had been greatly challenged.

Damn, why bother studying plasma? It would be better to tie this guy up, open his head, and see what the difference is between him and ordinary people! ?

Just switch to medical biology.

Kevin Stone was gritting his teeth when he heard Fang Yu calling him.

"Congratulations, Kevin, your experiment should be successful." Fang Yu rubbed the corners of his eyes.

"The peak amplitude of the coda wave is 2.52 GeV/m, and the electron beam energy gain is 1.55 times, which perfectly meets the expectations of the experimental plan. I suggest you pay attention when making the figure, so that the reviewer will not think that this data is made by you."

"I have already gathered the data and given it to Ma Wei for summary. The report should be out soon."

Success? Really?

Kevin Stone was happy, but not as happy as he had imagined. Instead, he felt empty.

It was like the goddess he had been pursuing for years had always ignored him, but as soon as his friend told her about it, she came over and gave him a BJ.

Kevin Stone quickly glanced at Fang Yu's screen, only to see that Fang Yu had switched out and started searching again in the massive amount of data.

"What are you looking for?" Kevin Stone asked curiously.

"I'm looking for... and found it!" Fang Yu tapped his fingers.

12.6THz, that's it! It appears again!

Let me see what you are.

"Yuzu, Yuzu, have you found this set of signals?"

Fang Yu activated the Eseran Core and excitedly contacted Yuzi who was still in the ETPD laboratory.

"Master, I found it." Yuzu's voice was a little hesitant, "I compared it with all the known papers again, and indeed did not find any meaningful signal with the same frequency."

Didn’t you notice?

Fang Yu frowned slightly.

But this frequency... is really familiar.

"Although it is not found in the known papers, but after comparing the signals just now, I feel that..."

Fang Yu was delighted: "What do you feel?"

Yuzu's tone was so uncertain for the first time: "I feel that this signal should be related to you, Master."

Is it related to me?

Fang Yu was slightly stunned.

"Please pay attention to the time series. The time when this signal appears stably is when your mental power is still in the laboratory. But when you find that the sensor has fallen off and your attention returns to the control room, the signal disappears. After you shield the sensor and return your mental power to the laboratory to check, the signal appears again until the experiment is completed and it automatically shuts down."

"So, I have a hypothesis," Yuzu said hesitantly, "The source of this signal is most likely... you?"
