Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 229 The world will change because of this!
In today's international community, energy is the most important issue, no doubt about it.

Energy is also the basis for supporting the development of human science and technology.

If the most basic energy problems cannot be solved, no matter how advanced the research technology is, its application direction will be severely limited. The more advanced the technology, the higher the requirements for energy support.

Gravity manufacturing technology is a high-end technology that requires extremely high electricity.

The "energy device" proposed by Gao Xiaoming made Zhang Shuo's eyes light up as he thought about it.

He has been doing theoretical and experimental research and has never considered applied technology and energy issues. The experiments on strong force splitting and nuclear force splitting are all done by Tong Zhiguo's team, and subsequent considerations are also military applications.

Now that Gao Xiaoming has proposed it, he has thought about it carefully and found that it is indeed feasible.

Nuclear splitting is a bit like an upgraded version of nuclear fission. When it is used to manufacture energy devices, many advantages come to mind immediately.

The first is that the raw materials are extremely cheap, but the manufacturing efficiency is super high.

Even if only lithium, which ranks third in the periodic table, is used for nuclear fission reaction, the energy produced per unit mass is more than twenty times higher than conventional nuclear fission.

The second is that compared with nuclear fission reactions that cause serious nuclear pollution, the degree of pollution in the splitting of atomic nuclei by nuclear force is extremely low. There are no natural radioactive elements involved in the reaction process, and the radioactivity is unsustainable.

In addition, compared with the strong force splitting of neutrons and protons, the nuclear force splitting of atomic nuclei is much more stable and easier to control.

Of course, control is still the most important thing.

Compared with conventional nuclear fission reactions, nuclear fission is more difficult to control because it is nuclear fission caused by field force rather than probabilistic particle collisions, and the reaction materials will be consumed at an extremely fast rate.

In order to maintain the energy supply, that is, to keep the reaction going, just like "burning coal", you must continue to add materials.

Zhang Shuo and Gao Xiaoming discussed it for a while and said with certainty, "Theoretically, there is no problem, and there are many advantages."

"I think we can start research in this area and create energy devices supported by this technology, which may even solve the domestic energy problem..."

This rating is quite high.

Gao Xiaoming also nodded excitedly. His excitement was due to Zhang Shuo's affirmation.

In fact, many experts within the Bureau of Science, Technology and Industry have been discussing this, but they are not sure whether it is feasible, mainly because the principle of nuclear force splitting of the atomic nucleus is complicated and not as easy to understand as nuclear fission.

Without a deep understanding of the theory, they naturally dare not judge whether the technology can be applied to energy manufacturing.

Now it's settled.

When Gao Xiaoming thought about mastering a new energy manufacturing technology with huge potential, he couldn't help but feel excited and wanted to start researching it immediately.

This is so important.

Technology is just an application; energy is the foundation. Human development cannot be separated from the support of energy, and most modern wars are related to energy.

Western Asia is a region where wars frequently occur. Why? Because oil is gold.

If there was no oil there, it would just be a dry desert, and other countries and regions in the world would not care about any conflicts there.

As far as the domestic situation is concerned, the most lacking thing is energy. Because the domestic oil and natural gas reserves are low, most of the energy consumed needs to be imported.

In order to avoid being restricted by energy, many development strategies are directly related to energy.

If an energy technology with broad development prospects emerges, the country will invest in research at all costs.

……

The project team was busy for half a month, but there seemed to be no end to the busyness, as leaders or expert groups would often come.

At the same time, the experimental data was submitted and the higher authorities also approved the publication of the experimental results.

The experimental results were published in the domestic journal "Theoretical and Applied Physics". The English version of the journal "Theoretical and Applied Physics" is also included in the SCI journal and has a certain influence worldwide.

The experimental results published in the project are only available in Chinese, and no English version has been released. The reason has been thought out, that is, the "Source Point Theory" is not recognized internationally, so there is naturally no need to publish an English version of their research results in this area.

This is a routine announcement.

The superiors also gave certain considerations to the issue of paper publication. The project team is not afraid of the results being known to others. In fact, it is impossible to keep it completely confidential. There is nothing impenetrable in the world. Such an amazing discovery will definitely be known to others. It is just a matter of time. Absolute confidentiality does not exist.

There is no clear data in the project team's paper on the results, but it only explains the discovery of the "gravitational field" from a theoretical and experimental perspective.

As for what form the 'gravitational field' takes, there is no specific information.

After the results were published, they immediately caused a strong response in the country.

Among the academic community, many physicists still prefer Michael Joel's theory, and their ideas are the same as those of foreign scholars.

Even though Zhang Shuo's team announced the discovery of a gravitational signal, many people still had questions in their minds, like the researchers at the Institute of High Energy Physics, and even Wu Jianning, who came to ask Zhang Shuo.

Now that the project team has published new results and announced that they have created a gravitational field in the experiment, you can imagine how much of a sensation this will cause.

Those scholars who firmly believed that Michael-Yol's theory was correct and did not believe in the basic force relationship model had their thoughts shaken.

The most representative one is Yang Haifeng.

Yang Haifeng's research field is the standard model of particles. He has been in charge of the affairs of the CNS collaboration group and naturally prefers Michael Yoel's theory.

At a theoretical physics conference held by the Institute of High Energy Physics, Yang Haifeng had a debate with Zhang Shuo. He insisted on his own point of view and highly praised Michael Yoel's theory.

Later, my superiors denied the research direction of Michael Joel's theory. I, Yang Haifeng, felt very indignant. He believed that academia should not have national boundaries.

Since then, Yang Haifeng has been silent. It seems like he has retired early. He does not attend various academic conferences and just devotes himself to teaching. He even opened an extra physics course.

Yang Haifeng was shocked when he learned that Zhang Shuo's project team had created a gravitational field.

If the news is true, it not only represents the correctness of the technology power relationship model and the verification of the foundation of the source point theory, but also means that the project has developed a cutting-edge technology that may be applied in the future and change the world's science and technology.

When a theory skips the verification stage and goes straight to technology research...

Does it matter whether you believe it or not?
Yang Haifeng felt confused for a moment. He discussed this issue with several colleagues, and everyone agreed that the direction of the source point theory was correct.

“That’s already technology, not theory.”

"The origin point theory can already be called origin point physics. This is no joke."

"The superiors must have made the decision for a reason. They are extremely sure of the correctness of the origin theory. It's ridiculous that I believed in Mike Joel before."

Yang Haifeng also felt that he was ridiculous. He felt that he was really old and could no longer make correct judgments. This was the case in the academic circle, and there were also many discussions in the general public opinion.

Artificially created gravity is so attractive!

Many people participated in the discussion, mainly discussing whether to use this to build a gravity aircraft, but most people believed that it was still a long way from application.

“It takes a long time for a theory to be verified, the corresponding phenomenon to be discovered and then turned into applied technology. Ten years is probably a very short time.”

"Ten years is of course very short, but 20 or 30 years are also very short."

"It seems that the results did not say what kind of gravitational field it is. I guess it was just measured."

"Although I'm not a professional, I know some news. The last time Zhang Shuo's project team announced their results, they said they had detected a gravitational signal. Now they say they've detected a gravitational field, which may just mean the signal strength has increased..."

“Of course, it’s of great significance.”

"This is definitely a major breakthrough in physics, but it seems that it is not recognized internationally, which is interesting."

The international community doesn’t just disapprove.

When domestic public opinion was boiling over, the press officer of the Nuclear Organization announced the decision of the board of directors meeting, "We have decided to terminate the cooperation with the Institute of High Energy Physics and terminate the CNS cooperation groups of some universities."

"At the same time, the conference announced the rejection of research in the direction of the basic force relationship model and source point theory."

He added, "Almost everyone thinks that's the wrong direction."

"We decided to modify the particle collider in the proposed physics direction, hoping that future experiments will be able to detect dark matter signals."

"The new direction of physics is very important to us and to all mankind..."

The press officer then said a lot more, mostly looking forward to the future prospects, hoping to detect the signal of dark matter, and explaining how important the discovery of dark matter is.

This external announcement is also a public division of the nuclear organization in the direction of high-energy physics and theoretical physics.

On the other hand, the Department of Energy does not see it that way.

Even though it did not know the experimental results published in Theoretical and Applied Physics, the Department of Energy determined that Zhang Shuo's team had made a huge discovery based on the intelligence it had.

Moreover, they also determined that the project team had created a gravitational field or detected clear gravitational field signals at the microscopic level.

Gravitational field signals and gravitational signals are two completely different things.

A gravitational signal only means that a signal suspected to be gravitational has been detected, while a gravitational field signal means that a large-scale gravitational signal has been detected.

The former is like discovering an ant, but perhaps you mistake other small insects for ants, while the latter is like discovering an ant nest.

We have found an ant nest, but we are still not sure it is ants?
When officials from the Ministry of Energy received the news, they were shocked.

On the day the news was confirmed, an official came out and said, "We urge the project team to release more results, not just a simple introduction to the experiment."

“The results of basic physics should be shared with the whole world.”

"Theoretical and experimental content should not be kept secret. We hope to get more information and increase theoretical and experimental cooperation in the field of basic force relationship research."

The officials’ calls to step up were very effective.

For example, a reporter asked a senior domestic official a question and said that the gravitational field signal is the top physics achievement and should be published in the top journals, not just in domestic Chinese journals.

The official responded righteously, “First, the latest research results of Professor Zhang Shuo’s project team have been published in a top journal.”

“Theoretical and Applied Physics is the academic journal with the highest impact in physics in China.”

"In basic physics research, we have always maintained an open and cooperative attitude. This is also the case with the research on the Origin Point Theory. Every theory will be published, and every experimental result will also be published."

"The main restriction now comes from the international community. The Source Point Theory has not been recognized by the international community. As far as I know, the Nuclear Organization has just announced that it has rejected the Source Point Theory and suspended our CNS collaboration group. We will no longer share experimental data in the future."

“At the same time, we also collaborate on basic research for new physics discoveries.”

"For example, the Fermilab team has arrived at the Institute of High Energy Physics for a visit. The two sides have also made some progress in theoretical and experimental research cooperation and reached some agreements..."

……

The international response to the project team’s new achievements is still growing.

Zhang Shuo's mind was not on the experimental results, but on some important meetings.

He was already in the capital.

After Gao Xiaoming confirmed that there was no problem with the theoretical support, he and Zhang Shuo wrote an energy technology report, which immediately received attention after being submitted.

When technology involves energy, it tends to become very big.

Ordinary people don’t know it yet, but the higher authorities are very clear about it. In terms of domestic scientific and technological direction and current scientific and technological direction, the most important thing is the technological transformation of "Source Point Theory".

The latest experimental results of Zhang Shuo's project team mean that China is about to master a technology to artificially create strong gravity, which can support the manufacture of aircraft, spacecraft, etc., and will also expand into other application areas in the future.

The research of Tong Zhiguo's team can provide a very important weapons technology.

Now it is the technological transformation in the energy field, which receives more attention than the first two items.

The higher authorities immediately decided to hold a meeting.

This was an important internal meeting. The officials attending were all at the teacher level, and the others were also very prestigious and influential scholars.

Zhang Shuo was invited to attend the meeting. He will give a speech and submit a report, mainly using theory and data to support energy technology.

He spent two days preparing specifically for this meeting, spending most of his time doing computing work.

The report has been written.

On the way to the meeting, Zhang Shuo read the report carefully again. He believed that with the content of the report, he would be able to convince higher authorities to support new energy technologies.

“This technology is huge.”

"It may completely change the world's energy landscape. Oil, natural gas, and fossil fuels will become less important."

“The world will also change because of this!”
