Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 327 S-level mission completed, the beginning of theoretical and technological breakthroughs!
After the senior teacher inspected the diamond manufacturing technology, Zhu Gui's team began to conduct diamond manufacturing experiments continuously, producing batches of diamonds.

Diamond production is very fast. All you need to do is prepare in advance and let the compressed and sealed graphite material pass through an invisible door to produce them in large quantities. The quality of the diamonds produced is very high.

With just one experiment, thousands of diamonds weighing more than one carat can be created.

After several experiments, the largest diamond produced had a diameter of more than twelve centimeters. Because it was an experiment of doping elements, it was also successful in giving the diamond a blue hue.

As soon as the diamond was taken out, a lot of people exclaimed, "Cullinan!"

"This is the Cullinan. No, it should be a size bigger than the Cullinan!"

“The upgraded version of Cullinan!”

Cullinan is the largest diamond in the world ever recorded. The original stone weighs 3106 carats, is the size of an adult's fist, and has a maximum diameter of more than 10 centimeters.

Cullinan is a blue-toned diamond, the best quality.

After this diamond was discovered, it could not be processed directly due to its huge size, and was eventually divided into several large pieces for processing. The total weight of the finished products exceeded one thousand carats. The largest piece was called "Cullinan I" or "Star of Africa", weighing 1 carats, and was inlaid on the scepter of the King of the Eagle Kingdom.

Other cut diamonds are also made into a variety of jewelry, including necklaces, rings and brooches.

The diamond made by Zhu Gui's team in the experiment has a maximum diameter of more than 12 cm, a dodecahedron shape, and a thickness of more than 8 cm, which is a circle larger than the Cullinan diamond.

Such a large diamond has a standard dodecahedron shape and its quality far exceeds that of the Cullinan diamond.

Although artificial and natural have different meanings, for diamonds, especially "colored" diamonds, it is impossible to distinguish whether they are artificially made or naturally produced.

The output of large diamonds, whose quality exceeded that of Cullinan, attracted the attention of higher-level teachers.

The higher authorities also paid more attention to diamond manufacturing and quickly made a series of decisions.

For example, it was decided to set up a special team to manufacture diamonds, and to develop a strategy around the mass production of diamonds with reference to the development of gold manufacturing.

When we really started the discussion, we found that diamond manufacturing is different from gold manufacturing, and it is not easy to expand the application of diamonds in industry.

This will be a gradual and long-term process, mainly because gold has many applications, while the industrial application scale of diamonds is too small.

If we want diamonds to be used in industry, we must first significantly reduce their price.

This has to be done step by step.

Although it is impossible to expand industrial applications in a short period of time, there are still a lot of news related to diamonds in public opinion.

For example, when a high-level teacher met with a foreign decision-maker, he gave the other party a yellow diamond weighing over 100 carats, and jokingly called it a "specialty of his country."

The news immediately made headlines.

High-level teachers would give each other gifts when they met, but directly giving a large diamond of over 100 carats was really too generous.

The public is discussing the value. "Diamonds over 100 carats are recorded internationally, but this one doesn't seem to be recorded."

"It's so beautifully processed, it must be worth tens of millions, right?"

"How extravagant! Giving me a gift worth tens of millions of dollars would be great! I would definitely serve you like a slave..."

“It’s definitely very valuable, and you can’t buy it even if you want to.”

"After the other party returns, it is estimated that the heirloom will be delayed..."

This news also caused some controversy. For example, some people thought that such expensive gifts should not be given.

Some people are discussing 'Why give diamonds as gifts'.

National specialty?

China is indeed a major diamond producer, and most artificial diamonds are produced domestically, but a diamond that big...

Is it artificially produced?
In addition to the news of the teacher sending gifts, two large diamonds also appeared at a large auction abroad.

The largest of them weighed more than 300 carats and was bought by a wealthy man in western Asia for nearly million euros.

The appearance of one diamond is nothing special, but the appearance of many big diamonds gives people an unusual feeling.

When putting the information together, some people analyzed that the country may have mastered the "high-quality diamond manufacturing technology".

The manufacturing of artificial diamonds is an existing technology, and an industrial chain has been formed, occupying a large share of the international diamond market.

However, the technology itself is not perfect. Most of the diamonds produced are broken diamonds, and most of them are transparent diamonds. It is impossible to produce large, colored diamonds.

Now that high-quality diamonds are appearing continuously, some people speculate that diamond manufacturing technology has been upgraded.

Either there is new technology or the technology has been greatly improved.

This news had a direct impact on the diamond market.

Major jewelers have been selling off diamonds in large quantities. Various diamond promotions can be seen on the first floors of major shopping malls, many of which are shouting slogans such as tear-jerking big sales, 50% off sales, or even super low prices.

Amidst the large amount of news, Zhang Shuo appears to be unusually low-key.

For two consecutive months, there was no news about Zhang Shuo. He spent most of his time at the Source Theory Research Center and also visited the experimental base once.

The experimental base has started new research, which is to replace nuclear materials to study gravitational fields and periodic gravitational fields.

The research of Zhang Shuo's team will not involve the characteristics of periodic gravitational fields.

Such experiments would be risky.

They only rely on nuclear material replacement to study the manufacture of periodic gravitational fields, and they study the data of the manufacturing process.

In addition, a conventional gravitational field will also be created.

After using radioactive uranium instead of tritium, the experiment produced a field force five times that of the Earth's gravity for the first time, and further confirmed the direct impact of radioactivity on the creation of gravitational fields.

"The stronger the radioactivity, the stronger the gravitational field..."

"The two are directly related, but the data show that they are not proportional. The specific relationship needs further study."

"This is also one of the next research directions."

Zhang Shuo went to the experimental base, blocked an experiment, and then returned to Sudong City, leaving the research work entirely to Yao Qiming and Xue Baikun.

This is because there is nothing he can do at the base.

Zhang Shuo only makes directional decisions on the research and has no say in the specific experiments. Because the experiments involve radiation risks, the teachers asked him to go to the laboratory as little as possible.

When I was at the experimental base, I had to stay away from the base most of the time, so I might as well go back to the research center. At the Origin Theory Research Center, Zhang Shuo's life was relatively dull, and it could be described as "nine to five".

This day was very special. It was already eight o'clock in the evening, and Zhang Shuo was still in his office on the second floor, writing something.

There was excitement and excitement on his face, and his behavior was obviously different from usual.

After working for a while, Zhang Shuo finally stopped writing. He let out a light breath and stretched his body. He couldn't hold back the joy on his face. After a long sigh, he said, "Finally..."

"finished!"

System task interface——

【Task 1】

[Research project name: Principle of fluctuation deviation in chaotic force field experiment (difficulty assessment: S).]

【Progress: 100%.】

【The task has been completed and can be submitted. 】

"submit!"

Zhang Shuo sat back in his chair and submitted the task with a serious expression. In an instant, his mind was filled with all kinds of content.

The S-level task is the "Principle of Fluctuation Deviation in Chaos Force Field Experiment", which studies the reasons why the strong influence of the chaos force field is different each time.

The same intensity, the same data, the results will be different every time.

Sometimes the impact of a strong split is large, and sometimes it is relatively small.

why?

Now I understand everything. To put it simply, it can be explained in one sentence -

The conductivity and amplification effect of quantum entanglement on force field!

It sounds simple, but it is actually very complicated. Why does quantum entanglement occur in the chaotic force field experiment?

How does quantum entanglement affect the transformation of chaotic force field into strong force?

The two seem completely unrelated.

This involves the influence of weak force on particles and its impact on promoting quantum entanglement.

Then there is the entanglement of particles, the interference in the transformation of chaotic force field to strong force, and the generation of interference amplification effect.

Among them are simple expressions of weak force, new physical expressions of quantum entanglement, expressions of the impact of quantum entanglement on chaotic force fields, and so on.

Even at this point, we still haven't fully understood the weak force. We just understand how the weak force affects the results of the chaotic force field experiment.

"The weak force affects the particles, and then through the quantum entanglement amplification effect, it affects the transformation of the chaotic force field into a strong force..."

"That is to say, the weak force indirectly affects the experiment through particles."

This is a kind of understanding.

From this perspective, it is understandable why the weak force is difficult to study. Unlike the other three forces, it is not directly expressed at the macro or micro level, but is expressed indirectly by promoting special phenomena.

……

After completing the S-level mission, Zhang Shuo stayed in the office for two weeks, summarizing the theoretical gains from the mission.

On this day, he received a message from the 'Chaos Field Research Organization' inviting him to participate in the first large hadron collider experiment.

The invitation came from the Chaos Field Research Organization, not the Institute of High Energy Physics Center, because a large-scale experimental base had already been built and preliminary tests had been completed.

The core of the new experimental base is the Super Hadron Collider, which exceeds the collider of nuclear organization in terms of intensity and has become the world's largest hadron collider.

If it were ten years ago, hadron collision research to improve the standard model of particles would definitely be the main goal of the experiment.

That's different now.

The Large Hadron Collider experiment is only the basis of the research. There are several large-scale branch research based on it, the most important of which is the "chaos force field" research.

The experimental base was also built specifically for the research of chaos force fields.

The 'Chaos Field Research Organization' has become the world's largest and most advanced new physics experimental research organization.

Its international cooperation group has 37 academic teams, and the number of researchers and engineers stationed in the experimental base exceeds 3,000.

The base has just been put into use. In the future, more talents will surely join in. As more teams and branches are opened for research and construction, the scale will become larger and larger.

The first formal experiment at the experimental base has attracted much attention from the international physics community.

However, the experiment is still in the planning stage, and only the date has been vaguely determined, and an application channel has been opened for scholars to participate.

Zhang Shuo was invited very early. Although he did not hold a position in the chaos field research organization, he undoubtedly had the leading authority over the experiment.

The first formal experiment was very important. The organizers Wu Jianning, Yu Fei, Liao Zhenyu and others also attached great importance to the experiment. They invited Zhang Shuo early on, hoping that he could come to the experimental base to discuss issues related to the experimental design.

There is not much to say about the hadron collision experiment. The most important thing is the chaos force field experiment.

“Very timely!”

Zhang Shuo looked at the invitation letter, then flipped through a few special invitation letters, and decided to visit the new experimental base.

He was also very interested in the new experimental base, the super-large hadron collision experiment, and the high-intensity chaos force field experiment.

Combining the two may lead to breakthroughs in research.

If I add my own understanding of the weak force...

“There will definitely be new discoveries!”

Zhang Shuo is already looking forward to it.

In the new physics direction, there has been no major breakthrough in basic theory for a long time.

The current most important direction - weak force, has infinite possibilities. The new experiment that is about to be carried out may be the beginning of theoretical and technological breakthroughs.
