Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 218: New military technology, verification completed!

The main direction of the research on the relationship between electromagnetic force and gravity is to conduct a large number of basic experiments to improve the data basis for substituting numerical values ​​into mathematical models in an experimental way, and thereby find the most suitable solution.

This is no longer a theory, but a technical study.

If technical research is to be transformed into application, it is necessary to minimize a very important external value - the magnetic field strength requirement.

The magnetic field strength should be controlled below 2T, and the lower the strength, the better.

The main application directions of gravitational field technology can make people think of aviation and aerospace. No matter in aviation or aerospace, the flying equipment will leave the ground alone, and the power supply mainly relies on batteries. It is impossible to use electricity to create a magnetic field of too high intensity.

2T is the highest acceptable value.

If the magnetic field strength required is greater than 2T, it will not be possible to manufacture aviation and aerospace vehicles.

In addition, a very important direction is to verify the medium materials, to find out what kind of materials can create a gravitational field with a larger range and a gravitational field that is closer to the upper limit.

If a large area can be covered and a gravitational field stronger than the earth's gravity can be created, the aircraft can float directly and easily.

Of the two directions, the former requires a huge amount of basic experimental data support, while the latter can already be carried out using existing equipment.

A mathematical model is not a simple equation, and does not have only two parameters.

The correlation model between electromagnetic force and gravity is very complex, and the parameters involved require that each parameter must be adjusted to a controllable range before it can be applied.

For example, the particle activity of the media material.

The requirements for achieving the required activity level are different for different elements.

If the particle activity required is too high, for example, a certain metal material needs to be heated to 10,000 degrees Celsius, this is obviously impossible to achieve.

Therefore, we need to continue to experiment to find the most suitable mathematical model solution.

The basic experiments required for the research are very large.

With the approval of senior leaders for basic experimental research, subsequent work went much more smoothly.

The Nanjiang Provincial Science and Technology Department has been discussing the issue of building a theoretical research center with Soochow University. They have also invited the Academy of Sciences to participate, but they have been conducting research all along, including site selection, investment funds, introduction of talent, and so on.

Now that we have the approval from higher-level leaders and have raised tens of billions of funds in one go, the work has become much simpler.

With tens of billions, it is very easy to build a theoretical research center.

In fact, just to build a research center, that is, to construct the building, two or three hundred million is enough, and it can be built on a very large scale.

There are two places where money is spent. One is the demand for a large amount of experimental equipment, and the second is the demand for a large amount of talent.

Both are indispensable.

The former has sufficient financial support, and with the support of cooperative institutions, there is no problem in introducing a large number of experimental equipment.

In terms of talent, it is not so easy.

The superior leaders still sent a special person to be responsible for the preparation, management and other trivial tasks of the theoretical research center. The person who came was called Deng Jiaxin, an excellent large-scale scientific research project management talent.

Deng Jiaxin served as the deputy director of the research center and project logistics manager, responsible for all aspects of the matter, including the construction of the theoretical center, laboratory equipment, etc.

His main task is to manage, build and supervise the center.

Soon after Deng Jiaxin arrived, the Theoretical Center quickly completed the site selection and initial construction work, and the construction site was named the 'Source Point Theory International Research Center'.

The International Research Center for Origin Theory is located in a suburb 20 kilometers south of Sudong City.

This is all taking into account that the research center will conduct a lot of basic experiments, which require extremely high power supply and involve high-energy particles, high pressure, etc., which are not suitable to be seen in the city center.

When it just started, many people nearby noticed the name of the sign, which is the Source Theory International Research Center.

With just a quick look, you will know that the research center is directly related to Zhang Shuo.

When the news reached the public, many people also understood an important message: "The country highly recognizes Zhang Shuo's theory and confirms the latest experimental findings."

The project team's new findings have been published in Science magazine, but in fact, there are still many voices of disapproval internationally, because the research is too significant, the impact is very shocking, and the authenticity of the so-called experimental data cannot be known.

If some institutions want to replicate experiments, they have to do a lot of basic experiments first and accumulate enough data.

Therefore, many institutions and scholars hope to visit Zhang Shuo's project team. They want to obtain more data and experimental information. On the one hand, they want to verify the authenticity of the experimental data, and on the other hand, they want to use this to determine new directions.

A large number of applications have not received a response because there is still some internal controversy over whether to disclose more information.

Fermilab is one of many institutions.

At the end of last year, Fermilab successfully completed its reorganization. They have a new "owner", that is, a new operating organization, and they have sufficient funding again.

This allowed Fermilab to stabilize.

Many scholars and staff who continued to stay in the laboratory breathed a sigh of relief, at least they didn't have to worry about being laid off the next day.

Laboratory director Leah Meminga is a special one. While others are not worried about being laid off, she is starting to worry.

Leah Meminga was well aware that her core job after taking over as laboratory director was to make massive layoffs, reduce unnecessary expenses, and cut unimportant projects to make the laboratory's finances more balanced.

Now the difficult times in the laboratory have passed. As the saying goes, when the birds are dead, the bow is put away; when the rabbits are dead, the dogs are cooked. She is that bow and that dog. She must demonstrate her abilities in scientific research management in order to stay.

Leah Meminga has always been paying attention to the development of international physics. She attaches great importance to the CP group and has appointed a new head of the CP group, Zaquin Fernandez-Garcia from the University of Chicago.

Zacchini is a Hispanic professor who has had a significant influence in the field of theoretical physics and has worked for the CNS collaboration at the Nuclear Organization for more than five years.

At the same time, he has also participated in the research of several particle collision experiments, and each time he was the leader of the delegation. It can be said that he is very capable.

Since Zach became the head of the CP group, he has always felt that his work is easy.

Lately, he has done a few things.

For example, we invited Mike Yoel as a team consultant in the hope of finding experimental directions in theoretical expansion.

Mike Yoel's "Chaotic Field Theory" is very influential, and Zakin needs to use it as a breakthrough point to find a general direction similar to the research on baryon CP violation.

That will be a completely new direction in physics and will also become the mainstream direction in the field of high-energy physics in the future.

Zak Yin had always believed this until Zhang Shuo's project team made their experimental findings public, which made him and his colleagues unable to sit still and they no longer had their usual leisure time.

Because they found that they might be looking in the wrong direction.

"If the findings of Zhang Shuo's team are true, it means that there is a correlation between the basic forces, and the foundation of the Origin Point Theory is correct."

"Then Chaos Field Theory has no room and value to exist, and we will expand in this direction..."

Zak Yin just kept shaking his head as he spoke.

The most frustrating thing about this matter is that they are not sure whether the information disclosed by Zhang Shuo’s team is true. Even if the disclosed information is true, are there really no problems during the experiment?

Unless the experiment can be replicated, everything is unknown.

Now they need to consider another question: should they continue to believe in Mike Joel?

Leah Meminga also learned the news, and she immediately found Zakin to ask for details.

The two talked in the office.

"I read the content of the Science magazine carefully, and I couldn't believe how they did it. They actually completed the verification of the basic force relationship?"

"This is incredible!"

"What they disclosed were the main data, but the main data alone cannot be used to replicate the experiment." "But if it is true, then we must conduct research in this direction..."

Leah Meminga thought for a moment and said, "So, things are still uncertain?"

“Only by replicating the experiment can we be sure.”

"So should we still trust Mike Joel? Should we continue researching in this direction?"

"I asked him." Zak'in shrugged. "He said the experiment must be fake, but that was expected. He certainly wouldn't agree with it."

Leah Meminga frowned and asked, "Who can we trust? Ask Edward Witten? It is said that he approves of Mike Yoel's research."

Zach smiled, "Then we will get the same answer."

There is no doubt about this.

Faced with completely new directions in physics, even top scholars can make mistakes in judgment.

Edward Witten developed superstring theory and is recognized as a top scholar in theoretical physics. His book Chaos Field Theory is a study within the framework of string theory, which explains the problem of chaotic force fields using string theory and the standard model of particles.

This kind of research, which is within the framework standards and explains new physical phenomena, will surely be recognized by Edward Witten.

Edward Witten may also recognize Zhang Shuo's theory. For example, he has affirmed the "fundamental force relationship model" and believed it to be a unique direction of theoretical physics.

As a top theoretical physicist, his broad mind allows him to accept different theories.

But when different theories are proven and conflict with the content of your own research direction, it is not so easy to change your opinion easily.
Unless the experiment happened right before his eyes, Zach was 100% sure that Edward Witten would not believe the published experimental results that could not be replicated for the time being.

A similar scene occurred at the experimental base of the Nuclear Organization. They even held a special meeting for this purpose, but still could not confirm the correctness of the experiment.

However, some scholars in the Nuclear Organization do not recognize string theory, and "Chaotic Field Theory" is only a reference theory for the experimental direction. After the results of Zhang Shuo's team were published, the Nuclear Organization immediately regarded Zhang Shuo's team's experiments as the main research direction in the short term.

"What we need to do is replicate this experiment as quickly as possible."

"If problems are found during the replication experiment, or if there are other discoveries, it may also become research progress."

“Of course, we should also try our best to contact Zhang Shuo’s team and maintain a friendly cooperative relationship with the Institute of High Energy Physics.”

“These are what need to be done.”

"In short, we must find the main direction for the future, otherwise we may fall behind others..."

The latter is unacceptable.

For decades, the Nuclear Organization has been a leader in high-energy physics research.

We are lagging behind in the research direction of high-energy physics and it is uncertain whether we can continue to receive funding.

That would be the end of the nuclear organization.

There is a heavy pressure throughout the nuclear community, and many people feel that they are no longer working for academic research but to keep their jobs.

……

The International Research Center for Origin Point Theory is under construction in full swing.

At the same time, experiments in the electromagnetic laboratory were also carried out continuously, but for a period of time, there was no major progress in the experiments, and research still needed accumulation.

Zhang Shuo has been very busy recently. Most of his work is related to the International Research Center for Source Point Theory. He has to participate in many related meetings, pay attention to the basic experiments of the electromagnetic laboratory and cooperative institutions, and at the same time, pay attention to the introduction of talents.

and many more.

As the director of the Source Point Theory Research Center, it is very normal to be busy at work.

In fact, he has turned down most of the work. For example, the construction of the research center and the introduction of equipment are all handled by other people. But just the decision-making matters are enough to make him tired.

On this day, another task was added to the burden.

The Science, Technology and Industry Bureau sent a message inviting Zhang Shuo to visit Tong Zhiguo's project team.

It was said to be a visit, but in fact, the experimental verification research had encountered some problems, and they hoped that Zhang Shuo could go over and take a look.

Tong Zhiguo's project team hopes to verify the theory of nuclear force splitting and to develop new technologies that can be applied in the military.

The latter is very important.

In the field of military technology, mastering a technology that other countries do not have will give you a huge military advantage, because other countries do not have it and do not understand the specific technology, so they do not know how to fight back.

Today's international military technology can be said to be from decades ago, except that the technological level has been improved.

Nuclear bombs are just more powerful.

Fighter jets, just faster and with more features.

Radar simply has higher detection accuracy and a wider coverage range.

Missiles simply have a larger strike range, higher accuracy and faster speed.

Aircraft carriers are just more powerful, have a larger tonnage, and can carry more fighter jets.

and many more.

The so-called high-end military weapons and equipment mentioned above are only more advanced in technology, but the basic principles of the technology are public information. No matter how advanced the manufacturing is, other countries know how to deal with it. Of course, there is also a possibility that they cannot cope with it.

But at least it can be judged.

It would be different if there was a new and unknown military technology. Other countries would not understand the technology, and it would be extremely difficult for them to develop countermeasures, which would make the defense system directly ineffective.

This will be a huge advantage.

Zhang Shuo was very interested in the invitation and he took time out to travel a long distance to visit Tong Zhiguo's project team.

After arriving at the experimental base, Tong Zhiguo took Zhang Shuo to visit the base and talked about the problems encountered in the experiment.

“We’ve actually already done the verification.”

Tong Zhiguo said excitedly, "That was the second test experiment, and we detected the thermal reaction. I was really worried at the time, what if there was another explosion..."

"But in the end, the experiment was just as expected, and only a thermal reaction was detected."

"We calculated the experimental data and found the delay in the thermal reaction. Then we designed the experimental device..."

He spoke seriously.

The main device built in the experimental base is similar to a particle circulation accelerator, which will continuously accelerate active ionic matter with a strong magnetic field.

When the activity of the ionic substance reaches a certain level, it will be allowed to pass through the 'reaction pipeline', that is, through an ultra-strong magnetic field of a specific value, and a thermal reaction will occur at the same time.

At this time, it is very dangerous.

"When active matter passes through a super-strong magnetic field, it will be knocked out, but there will be no reaction after it is knocked out."

"We found residual matter dozens of kilometers away, but it's meaningless. We can only detect some residual condensation. It seems that it was just accelerated and shot out. Nothing happened."

"We have conducted this experiment many times and it's the same every time. We think it's the air that's causing the problem."

"But there is no way..."
