Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 306 Scientists have national boundaries!

International Cooperation Office.

Yu Fei put down the phone and a look of joy appeared on his face.

The others looked over immediately.

"Is it Academician Zhang Shuo?" Liao Zhenyu asked first.

Yu Fei nodded vigorously and said happily, "Academician Zhang Shuo said he will come to the base tomorrow. It seems that he wants to participate in the experiment."

"That's great."

Liao Zhenyu was also somewhat delighted.

After hearing this, several other people also started discussing, "Academician Zhang Shuo is coming!"

"It's really rare. It's been a while, right? Since the experiment stabilized, (Zhang Shuo) has participated less and less."

"That's not necessary. Analyzing data is not an innovative job. Academician Zhang Shuo must have more important research..."

Many people were silent.

"More important research" made them think of the gravity aircraft that has been popular in public opinion in recent times.

Some experts who understand the technical principles have come forward to analyze the mysterious gravity aircraft and believe that it contains an unprecedented energy technology.

There is a lot of speculation in the academic community about what exactly this energy technology is.

The most popular theory is that low-temperature nuclear fusion combined with nuclear power conversion technology has developed a "perfect electric power system."

The reason why it is called "perfect" is that the two technologies combined can continuously generate huge amounts of electricity, form a complete technical closed loop, and can operate continuously and autonomously without adding a large amount of raw materials, just like nuclear power.

If the speculation is true, how was the relevant technology developed?

Some people thought that Zhang Shuo had been busy not long after the chaos force field experiment started, and no one knew where he had gone. He had not even participated in the very important experiment, so they could infer that Zhang Shuo was very likely involved in the research.

But no one really talked about it, just mentioned that Zhang Shuo had "more important research".

Because the corresponding technology must be kept confidential, the technical situation and the researchers involved must also be kept confidential.

Of course, the most important thing is that Zhang Shuo will soon arrive at the experimental base and participate in the next experimental research.

Yu Fei mentioned that Zhang Shuo was coming, but did not discuss the issue of "experimental changes".

After leaving the International Group office, he still talked to Liao Zhenyu about it, and Liao Zhenyu was even more looking forward to it.

They have always wanted to make changes to the experiment, and the only thing they could think of was to increase the intensity, but increasing intensity also means increasing the risk. Experiments are inherently risky, and under such a high risk, any modifications to the experiment must be reported. However, without Zhang Shuo's nod, it would be difficult for the higher-level department to pass the review.

The experimental accidents at Fermilab and the Organization for Nuclear Research are lessons for us.

Yu Fei had no good solution in this regard, because they could not come up with a complete set of theories or any important experimental basis to support the fact that increasing the intensity would not increase the risk.

……

The next afternoon, Zhang Shuo arrived at the Physics Center on time.

Wu Jianning, Yu Fei, Liao Zhenyu and others greeted them at the door. They walked into the Physics Center building together, then entered the reception room and discussed experimental issues.

Zhang Shuo asked about the results of the previous two experiments, and then went straight to the point: "We need to make some changes in the new experiment."

"We study the properties of chaotic force fields. We understand their properties by studying the transition from chaotic force fields to strong forces."

"Continuous experiments have accumulated enough basic data. The next step is to find new directions."

"In our experiments, we found huge fluctuations in the strong transition conditions."

"I personally think it is the influence of weak force, but there is no perfect theory yet, so I think the next step is to study this kind of fluctuation..."

He explained carefully.

Although he kept saying "I think" and was just expressing his own opinions to get support from others, in fact, everyone knew that what Zhang Shuo said was directly related to the subsequent experiments.

The research on chaos fields is extremely difficult and involves huge risks.

Now only Zhang Shuo can make decisions on experimental changes. Even if it is just to increase the intensity, the decision must be made by Zhang Shuo, and the opinions of others are not even important.

Zhang Shuo continued, "We don't understand the underlying mechanism, but we can study this change by changing the experiment."

"Take the initiative to study and experiment, and then compare the original experiments to see the differences..."

Zhang Shuo said a lot of things in a row, just to explain the principle.

Liao Zhenyu couldn't help but say, "Academician Zhang, just tell me how to do the experiment!"

No one else said anything, but the expressions in their eyes conveyed similar meanings.

Zhang Shuo smiled and said, "Don't worry."

"We can discuss the experimental changes together. I just have some ideas, which may not be correct."

"I considered two aspects. One is how adding other decay elements would affect the experiment."

"For example, tritium, or helium-3, which can become radioactive under certain conditions."

"Under high temperature and strong magnetic conditions, the decay of other radioactive light atoms will definitely affect the experiment, especially the performance of the chaotic force field."

"The effect could be slight, even undetectable, or it could be significant..."

"In addition, we can increase the intensity. While keeping the external magnetic field unchanged, we can increase the density of hyperons to see if it has any effect..."

Hausen-Bergaard, a scholar from the international collaboration group, suddenly asked, "Academician Zhang Shuo, will increasing the intensity increase the risk of the experiment?"

Zhang Shuo turned his head and looked over.

Yu Fei immediately helped to introduce that Hausen-Bergaard was a scholar with outstanding performance in the international cooperation group. He was a Belgian theoretical physicist who had led a team in experimental research on nuclear organization.

In addition, he conducted in-depth research on the theory of source points and published several papers on the relationship between strong force, gravity and electromagnetic force, which received high praise from the physics community.

In particular, he conducted a lot of detailed computational analysis in the study of the relationship between gravity and electromagnetic force, helping the strong magnetic team of Ghent University to break through the barriers of gravity manufacturing technology, allowing their experiment to produce 0.39 times the Earth's gravity.

The strong magnetic team of Ghent University has thus become one of the teams that "masters the world's most advanced gravity technology."

This is absolutely remarkable.

There are many teams in the world that focus on the research of "gravitational technology". The strong magnetic team of Ghent University is not well-known at all. It is far behind in terms of funding and talent. However, it has mastered "the most advanced gravitational technology in China and abroad". This shows how important Belgard's research is.

Yu Fei's introduction was full of praise.

Zhang Shuo had also heard of Belgard's name. He shook hands with Belgard and explained, "The chaos force field equipment has safety protection, and the main equipment also has protection against strong penetration phenomena."

"Statistically, there is no risk if the intensity does not increase by more than three times."

"Our particle collider performance..."

He said and shook his head.

Wu Jianning and others felt a little embarrassed when they heard this, but what Zhang Shuo said was the fact. The most direct way to increase the number of hyperons is to increase the intensity of particle collisions.

The upper limit of particle collision intensity depends on the performance of the particle collider.

The particle collider of the Institute of High Energy Physics was manufactured more than 30 years ago and its performance has long been obsolete. The experimental requirements for the chaos force field are not high, so it can still keep up for the time being, but it is impossible to significantly increase the number of hyperons.

Judging from the current intensity requirements, a doubling of the intensity would reach the limit of the particle collider.

Other international scholars do not care about the performance of the particle collider, because the performance is there and it will not change whether they care or not.

Many people are beginning to look forward to the new experimental base.

The chaos force field research project has been launched, and a new base is also under construction. The super-large particle collider is the top priority.

Although the construction speed is very fast, the requirements of the super large particle collider are too high, including technology, materials, equipment, etc. It will take at least one year to complete. If it is slower, it may take two years or even longer. …

In the reception room, Zhang Shuo briefly explained the experimental problems.

Then the meeting was held.

Important personnel from the Physics Center and Experimental Base participated, as well as more than 20 representatives from the international cooperation group.

At the meeting, Zhang Shuo explained the experimental plan again.

This time I will explain it in more detail.

After the experimental plan was explained, some people raised their own questions, but they were all related to theory and had nothing to do with the experimental plan.

Everyone knows that Zhang Shuo's views represent the direction of the experiment, and holding meetings to discuss them is just a formality.

The research on chaos force fields is still in its early stages and no complete theory has been constructed. Even basic experiments do not have complete theoretical support.

The new experimental plan is just an idea to "give it a try".

Many people think so.

Zhang Shuo is the most influential figure in the new physics direction. When he came up with a new experimental plan, certainly no one would object.

After the meeting, the new experimental direction was determined, and the next step was to prepare for the experiment.

The experimental plan was submitted to the superior department.

Teacher Wang is here again.

After the experimental plan was submitted, Teacher Wang immediately saw the plan report, and the changes in the experiment also meant "increased risk".

Professor Wang would certainly not deny the experimental plan. It is impossible for any research to conduct an unchanging experiment. Only new experiments can lead to new discoveries. Otherwise, there will be no progress.

Professor Wang is concerned about experimental safety. He said very seriously, "New experiments mean new risks, and we must pay attention to safety issues."

Zhang Shuo, Yu Fei, Liao Zhenyu, Shi Qiuling and others were listening attentively.

"In terms of safety issues, those directly involved in the experiment should pay special attention to it, as you are facing risks on the front line."

“Other people should also pay attention to…”

"Ula Ula~~~"

Teacher Wang said a lot more, and then said to Zhang Shuo seriously, "Academician Zhang, you must not stay in the laboratory."

"The risks of frontline experiments are too great, and we cannot allow any problems to occur..."

Zhang Shuo nodded helplessly.

He certainly wouldn't conduct experiments on the front line. Even if Teacher Wang hadn't reminded him, others would have kept him away.

The problem is, I can’t say it in front of so many people!

Others certainly don’t feel very good about it.

For example, Yu Fei.

He is the direct person in charge of the experiment, and no one seems to care about his safety. Even for his personal prestige, he has to stay in the laboratory and lead the experimental work at the front line.

"In this new experiment, the risk has increased, so we have to bear all the risks..."

It’s so helpless just to hear it!
Of course, no one cared about his feelings. He was the only one who had to participate in the front-line experiments. Both Liao Zhenyu and Shi Qiuling had to stay in the Physics Center to lead the work.

Wu Jianning will lead the ion collision experiment and work in the main laboratory.

……

The news of the new experiment could not be sent out, and it immediately attracted the attention of many scholars, and even the international physics community.

The chaos field experiment is already fascinating.

After several consecutive experiments, they were just accumulating basic data, and their attractiveness naturally declined gradually.

Now the experiment has changed. While increasing the intensity, we also need to add decaying light atoms to affect the results...

It sounds interesting!
Many relevant scholars hope to join the experiment and hope to know the experimental results as soon as possible.

What does increased intensity bring?
How much impact will the decay of light atoms have on experimental results?
As a result, a large number of scholars applied to join the experiment.

These applicants are all domestic scholars, because international scholars participate as a team and individual scholars cannot apply individually.

Even if it is just domestic scholars, the huge number is still a headache, mainly because the scale of the experiment is limited and the manpower required is also limited, and the applicants also include some top physicists.

For example, Academician Yang Haifeng of Soochow University.

Yang Haifeng is almost seventy years old and has never participated in a chaos force field experiment. However, he submitted an application to participate in the experiment just to join in the fun, and no one knows what he is here to do specifically.

Of course, it is understandable to make an application.

The chaos force field experiment has attracted worldwide attention and is the most important new physics research in the international physics community. It is understandable that scholars want to participate, but it just gives headaches to those responsible for the review.

Personnel review is a job that offends people.

Yu Fei is also one of the persons in charge. He said with a wry smile, "There were many people doing the experiment before, but now there are more and more applications."

“But the scale is so large, we can’t just let them come and do nothing, right?”

"We are just doing an experiment, not organizing any grand ceremony."

Zhang Shuo didn't have to worry about this. He discussed the detailed plan with others and guided the experimental preparations, and then he could wait at the Physics Center.

He remained at the Physics Center while the experiments were being conducted.

In the Physics Center, Zhang Shuo was also the absolute protagonist. Many scholars missed him on their own initiative. No matter where he went, he was always surrounded by a group of people.

Many professional scholars discussed theoretical issues of new physics with Zhang Shuo.

Hausen-Belgard is one of them. He has done in-depth research on the basic force relationship model and his discussions with Zhang Shuo are also very profound.

Zhang Shuo discovered that Belgard was indeed very outstanding and the depth of his understanding surpassed that of most scholars.

Theoretical research on new physics is scattered.

Even for the source point theory, there is only a system model, and some detailed theories are blank. However, Belgard can say a lot, and some of his views made Zhang Shuo's eyes light up.

After several discussions with Belgard, Zhang Shuo also asked him about his "opinions on the influence of weak force".

“I have discussed the weak force effect many times with my colleagues.”

"We believe that the weak force is everywhere, including in experiments and gravity production technology. The weak force has an impact, but some effects are obvious and some are not."

"In current experiments, the weak force has a great influence. The fluctuation value of the strong force field may be the influence of the weak force, and the research..."

He said a lot in succession.

Many of them were similar to Zhang Shuo's views, and Zhang Shuo couldn't help but be surprised. He even had the idea of ​​pulling Belgarda into the Source Point Theory Research Center.

It's just that it's difficult.

The other party is a Belgian physicist. Scientists are aware of national boundaries.

If you join the Source Point Research Center, especially join his research group, some confidential information will definitely be involved.

"But in terms of chaotic force field experiments, especially the research on the influence of weak force, I can communicate more with Belgard..."
