Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 217 Results released, a billion project!
Science and Technology Department Building, main entrance.

Tan Zhiming and more than a dozen other academicians and professors walked out in silence.

Some people were still discussing in low voices, but most people kept silent. The news they had just heard was simply too shocking.

The source point theory, which is also the basic force relationship model, argues the energy and material phenomena from the perspective of the relationship between the four major forces.

In the view of most scholars, the source point theory has just begun to be studied. There are only some basic theoretical frameworks, which are also aimed at chaotic force fields and have not been linked to other physical phenomena.

It can be said that the theory is only in its infancy.

In addition, the theory was published in the middle of the discovery of the chaos field, and it has not been long until now.

Then, verified?

How was it verified? What was the basis? How was the experiment conducted?
They just felt confused.

Many people thought of the project approved by the Science and Technology Department for Zhang Shuo. It was a project with a funding of hundreds of millions of yuan, and it attracted a lot of attention at the beginning. But when they learned that it was just a theoretical verification project and was just some basic experiments, not many people paid attention to it later.

They don’t think there will be any progress in the research because they are not sure whether the theory is true or not, and the theory is not perfect, so how can it be verified?
Now I just feel that everything is beyond my understanding.

Tan Zhiming was in a daze. He did not discuss the news he heard, and did not even talk to anyone, because he found out that he had really died before he could accomplish his mission.

I originally wanted to use my new discovery to do something else to make use of my remaining energy, but I found out that what I did was in vain.

It all became a joke.

The foundation of the origin theory has been verified. It must be a major discovery, which would have led the Science Foundation, the Department of Science and Technology, and the Academy of Sciences to jointly deny Mike Yoel's research.

The superiors have given it great affirmation.

At the same time, the incident may become a stain on him again, but it cannot be said directly that it is a stain. It’s just that when other people talk about it, he will definitely be regarded as a background character again.

In addition, it is amazing how well the theoretical basis has been verified.

This incident itself is speechless.

Tan Zhiming felt that he should go back and calm down. He needed some time to digest the situation slowly, otherwise he would not know what mood he was in.

……

Soodong University, Electromagnetism Laboratory.

Many researchers and engineers came in and out, and everyone was obviously very busy.

The discovery of an experiment is not the end, but the beginning.

After the excited celebration, everyone immediately began to prepare for the next experiment, which included a lot of research topics, such as the newly discovered problem of gravity.

What kind of gravitational field is this?

How wide is the gravitational field? Is its strength consistent at every location? What form does it take?
Is it like a magnetic field that has a range, where the farther away, the lower the intensity, or is it that the intensity is balanced across the entire area?

Does it just affect the media material, or does the external equipment have an impact?

and many more.

There are many issues that need to be clarified.

The theoretical connection between electromagnetic force and gravity, that is, the basis of the experiment, is that gravity is just a conversion parameter. To put it simply, it is a numerical value in the mathematical model.

A numerical value is naturally vague when used in an experiment.

Therefore, many experiments must be conducted to gain a better understanding of the gravity of transformational discoveries.

Teacher Li is here again.

He also brought a number of experts, including Tong Zhiguo, Hu Baocheng, Jiang Weiwei and so on.

Among them, Tong Zhiguo is the one who most wants to know the content of the experiment, because he is leading a team to conduct experimental research on nucleon splitting. Nucleon splitting is a study of the relationship between electromagnetic force and strong force, which can be said to be research in different directions under the same system.

The research done by the electromagnetic laboratory is still very useful for their research.

In the small conference room, Zhang Shuo and several people discussed the follow-up experimental issues. "We need to find out the details of the new discovery."

“This is directly related to both theoretical and technical research.”

"Initially, we planned to use three materials - lithium, iron and nitrogen. These are media materials. When they reach a certain activity, they can transform the magnetic field. If that doesn't work, we have to study particles. But we didn't expect to succeed the first time."

“But in the future, we still need to conduct separate studies. We need to figure out the relationship between media materials and transformation.”

"In addition, strength and balance are also issues..."

He talked about a lot of professional stuff.

Afterwards, Teacher Li, Chen Wei and others also discussed the issue of confidentiality. In fact, a decision had already been made on the relevant issues, and the superiors had agreed to the release of the results.

This research is a completely new direction in physics and has great potential for subsequent technological transformation, but in reality it is impossible to keep it completely confidential. The more confidential it is, the more methods the countries and institutions that want to know the situation will use to obtain information.

Since complete confidentiality is impossible, some of the theories will be made public.

There are many benefits to publicly publishing research results. For example, it can demonstrate the pioneering and cutting-edge level of basic physics research and shape the image of a great power.

There is still a gap between domestic and international research on basic physics, mainly because the country started relatively late. In addition, the national conditions have led to more emphasis on technological breakthroughs and insufficient attention to basic research.

After entering the 21st century, China began to pay attention to the research of basic mathematics and physics, but after all, it started too late, and it is very difficult to achieve major results in the basics.

Now that we have achieved such great results in the field of new physics, we can also create an image of leading the global research direction in basic physics.

This kind of image is still very beneficial and may attract more talents to work in the country in the future.

In addition, after the results are released, they will help determine new directions for physics research, and more scholars and institutions will participate in it, leading to more progress.

In science and technology, mastering perfect theories and high-end technologies can almost make you invincible.

Research related to the origin theory began with Zhang Shuo. They naturally have a complete theory, and the current discoveries may be transformed into technology in the future, so they will master the most advanced technology.

In terms of publishing results, it will be difficult for other institutions to replicate the experiments as long as all the data are not made public.

Once they successfully replicate the experiment, domestic research will become more in-depth, which means they will always be far ahead.

This is the most important.

While preparing for the second experiment, researchers in the Electromagnetism Laboratory have completed the compilation of experimental data.

Zhang Shuo put all the data together and completed an experimental report paper, which combined theory and experiments and also listed some simple data.

After being submitted to the Science and Technology Department for review, the paper was submitted to Science magazine.

The reason for choosing Science magazine is because of its great influence. Many large-scale experiments and major achievements in China are generally published in Science magazine.

It is still very difficult to publish an article in Science magazine, but it is very easy for Zhang Shuo.

Even without considering the significance of the research, his personal influence deserves great attention from Science magazine.

This is also true.

After receiving the paper manuscript from Zhang Shuo, the editorial department of Science magazine responded very quickly, and the paper soon appeared on the editor-in-chief's computer screen.

Then, it was confirmed to be published, even skipping other review stages.

This is because peer review is simply not possible.

The experiments conducted by Zhang Shuo's team are innovative and cutting-edge, and are very critical theoretical verification research. Similar results cannot be judged whether they are correct or not.

Can we ask colleagues to come to the laboratory to take a look and provide detailed data to prove it?

Of course that was impossible. After the paper was successfully published, the international physics community was instantly excited.

"Zhang Shuo's experiment verified the connection between the fundamental forces, electromagnetic force and gravity? You are kidding, right?"

"Published in Science magazine, this is no joke..."

"No wonder I heard last time that China's science and technology support department did not recognize Michael Yoel's Chaos Field Theory. That research conflicts with Zhang Shuo's theory, and Zhang Shuo's theory has been experimentally proven!"

"In other words, there is indeed a connection between the fundamental forces? Electromagnetic force and gravitational force can be transformed into each other?"

"Isn't this amazing? In the future, we can artificially create gravity?"

"It should be impossible in the short term. This kind of experiment only detected anomalies at the particle level, or at an extremely small level, and the conclusions may not be accurate."

"There have been many studies in the past that came to very surprising conclusions, but in the end there was no follow-up..."

"But no matter what, the publication of the results is already amazing enough. If it is proven to be true, the research of basic physics will have a new direction, and it may even be transformed into scientific and technological means in the future, and mankind will be able to achieve a new scientific and technological revolution!"

With the publication of the paper, other physics research seemed unimportant.

Everyone who can read the paper can understand what it contains. One is a new research direction in basic physics, or more precisely, the source point theory, which studies the relationship between the four major forces.

Another is that the commonality between electromagnetic force and gravity may allow humans to master the technology to actively create gravity.

This technology will have a wide range of applications, especially in the aerospace field, and can truly achieve a qualitative breakthrough.

By then, not to mention leaving the earth, even building large spacecraft will be possible.

In addition, the new direction of basic physics will also bring about new breakthroughs in physical theory, which may help humans analyze those inexplicable cosmic phenomena.

The excitement in the academic community soon spread to public opinion.

Many people believe that this discovery is a major step towards the future and will enable human technology to achieve a qualitative leap.

At the same time, some people worry that the new physics will bring new crises.

For example, studying strong and weak forces may lead to the development of more destructive weapons that can even destroy the entire earth in one fell swoop.

But no matter what public opinion says, it does not affect the importance of the experimental findings themselves.

The mainstream domestic media reported extensively that "Zhang Shuo's team from the Electromagnetic Laboratory of Soochow University published a paper in the journal Science, which showed that they had made a major breakthrough in the experimental study of the correlation between electromagnetic force and gravity."

"The team was able to detect anomalies in the motion of the medium and determined that they were a signature of gravity."

"According to relevant experts, this discovery verifies the connection between the fundamental forces and will lead the research of fundamental physics in a new direction."

"This is also a historic breakthrough in fundamental physics, and it is of great symbolic significance..."

"Zhang Shuo's team has successfully completed the experiment and will continue to expand in the future. We look forward to one day being able to transform the experimental findings into technological applications..."

……

While the outside world was discussing this issue extensively, the electromagnetics laboratory conducted three consecutive experiments.

In two of the experiments, the medium material was changed, once with iron and the second with nitrogen. In the remaining experiment, the concentration of lithium was increased.

The experiments were all aimed at studying the created gravitational field, and the team also gained more information and reached certain conclusions.

First of all, the gravitational field is a balanced field force.

Unlike magnetic fields, where the strength decreases with distance, or the strength varies at different locations, the gravitational field created by the experiment has balanced field strength at all locations.

The field force has a diffusion effect. In the second experiment, it was found that the field force diffused to the periphery of the equipment pipeline, and the parameters were successfully detected.

In addition, another characteristic of the gravitational field is edge chaos.

The edge of the gravitational field is a superposition of electromagnetic fields and gravity. Two subsequent experiments found that the manifestations are different, and further experiments are needed to study the edge characteristics.

A model diagram of gravity was displayed on the big screen in the conference room, with the edges of the field force framed by dotted lines.

Zhang Shuo briefly talked about the structure of the field force and explained that he would continue to conduct experimental research. Then he talked about the issue that everyone present was most concerned about, "One of the keys to technology transformation is that the required magnetic field intensity is too high."

“Also, we need to experiment to find the most suitable medium.”

“The media material affects the conversion rate.”

"In theory, a specific electromagnetic force will correspond to a gravitational force of a specific strength, but the conversion is not 100%. Different media materials will have different conversion results, which will also affect the range of the field force."

"We also found that the concentration of the material also affects the field strength and coverage, but ultimately there is an upper limit."

"In terms of technology transformation, I feel that the requirements have not been met. The possibility of transforming current discoveries into applications is very low. Of course, it is possible, but it cannot be truly applied..."

The most important influence is the magnetic field strength requirement.

For example, when manufacturing a flying device, there is no connection between the flying device and the ground. It is a fantasy and impossible to create a magnetic field with a strength of several tonnes inside it.

Because the energy is not supported.

Teachers Li and Zhu in the audience were somewhat disappointed after hearing this. They had been dreaming of using new technologies to build super-gravity aircraft and gravity spacecraft.

That sounds really high-end!

Zhang Shuo continued, "However, the experiment has only just begun. All our experiments are actually just a set of solutions to verify the mathematical correlation model."

“We need to continue to study the correlation model and find more solutions. Perhaps we can find solutions with low demand and suitable for transformation into technology…”

Teacher Li asked impatiently, "How do we find the solution?"

"We need a lot of basic experimental support," Zhang Shuo said. "We have done a lot of experiments before and have some basic data, but it is still too little compared to the complex association model."

"We need more support for basic experiments."

"That's easy!"

Teacher Zhu stood up suddenly and said, "Expand the scale of the project and the scale of the experiment!"

"Your project only has 100 million yuan. What can you do with such a small amount of money? How about this? Our Science and Technology Department will take out some funds and approve 2 billion yuan first, all of which will be used for basic experiments!"

Teacher Li nodded in agreement and said, "The Science and Technology Industry Bureau can also provide some funds. Two billion should be no problem."

After the two teachers finished speaking, they looked at the dean, Wang Changli.

Wang Changli was stunned for a moment, feeling embarrassed and not knowing what to say. The Science and Technology Industry Bureau and the Science and Technology Department were both very wealthy.

The Academy of Sciences is an academic institution, not a funding department. It relies on funding allocated by the state every year.

He thought for a moment and said, "We can't do that. Hasn't Nanjiang Province been planning to build a theoretical research center? We can unite all parties to prepare to build a large scientific research institution, prepare 10 billion yuan in funds in advance, and build a theoretical center while conducting basic experiments."

"After the center was established, a lot of basic experiments were done and the project team was also formed."

“The best of both worlds!”

Several people looked at each other and thought it was a good idea.

If you only support a research project, it is really just a research project. You can set up a scientific institution based on the project, and then directly allocate funds to the institution. It will be much easier to expand and conduct any kind of research later.

Wang Changli finished speaking happily and continued, "Also, the new theoretical research center can be registered under the name of the Academy of Sciences, so that we can have another large scientific research institution."

"Think beautifully!"

"Don't even think about it!"

Teacher Li and Teacher Zhu rejected it in unison without any hesitation.
