Chapter 785: Collision of 17 trillion electron volts!
Chapter 785: Collision of 17 trillion electron volts!
In the main control room of the Circular Strong Particle Collider, Deputy Director Long Teng from the Science and Technology Center left. After walking a distance, Xu Chuan turned to look at Tai Xuewen and asked.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
When he was communicating with a deputy director of the Science and Technology Department, Tai Xuewen ran over and said that the preliminary preparations had been completed. This was a dispensable statement. Obviously, he was not simply informing him of this.
After all, this kind of thing can be said at any time, not to mention that there are still two hours until the official launch of the CRHPC collider.
Tai Xuewen said: "Near the entrance of the flavor quark detector, the security team caught two foreign teams..."
"Judging from the current situation, the other party is trying to sneak into the underground pipeline of the CRHPC collider to destroy it. From the members of these two teams, we found various tools such as wrenches, screwdrivers, and pliers."
"There are no casualties on the security team's side, right?" Xu Chuan's heart suddenly tightened and he asked quickly.
He was more worried about the situation of the security team than the equipment. After all, if the foreign team was professional in committing crimes, they might have guns and the like.
Although guns are banned in the country, it is not impossible to get some if you really have the will and the channels.
Tai Xuewen smiled and said: "That's not true, the domestic environment is still very good. These two teams are probably not 'regular armies'."
"After some investigation by the security, it seems to be related to the two extreme environmental organizations of The Sun Never Sets and Gallic Chicken. Two or three months ago, when the LH-LHC high-luminosity collider was restarted, it was the Sun Never Sets.
People from that extreme environmental group infiltrated."
"This time they probably wanted to repeat the same trick, sneaking into our CRHPC pipelines to sabotage or inspect the site in advance, but this time they were caught red-handed by our security personnel."
Xu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "It's good that there are no casualties."
After a pause, he came to his senses, looked at Tai Xuewen, and asked curiously: "Director Tai is worried about how to deal with these two foreign teams?"
Tai Xuewen nodded and said nothing.
When it comes to 'international friends', the domestic approach to dealing with them has always been relatively 'friendly' in the past few decades because of factors such as international relations and reputation.
And the inertia left over from long-standing handling methods still makes it difficult to make a choice even today, when the country is rich and the people are strong.
However, as a physicist, he personally hopes to severely punish these organizations that like to engage in destruction in the name of environmental protection.
It's just that matters involving divorce disputes will basically have to be transferred to the court for processing.
As for how to deal with it, the relationship with the CRHPC organization is actually not very big.
CRHPC does provide some evidence and opinions, but it is not up to them to decide how to judge.
Judging from the current situation and past practices and handling methods, those who have "not yet" caused economic and property losses will most likely not be sentenced to multiple penalties. It is estimated that they will be detained for a week at most and then deported.
In fact, the court is not to blame for this kind of thing.
They also handled it badly. They wanted to impose a heavy sentence, but it involved all kinds of things. If they didn't give a heavy sentence, they would offend the public opinion in the country.
Just like the case of rice parent seeds being stolen in the past few months, the sentence was only a year and a half.
But Tai Xuewen was a little unwilling to be treated so lightly, so after learning the details, he immediately came to see Xu Chuan.
After all, if we talk about influence, no one in the country can compare with the person in front of me.
His opinions can reach directly to the Heavenly Hall, even to the Changlao Courtyard, they must be listened to and considered carefully.
Seeing Tai Xuewen's silence, Xu Chuan probably understood what he meant.
I wanted to impose a heavy sentence, but I had to worry about other things, such as international relations, influence, reputation, etc., but I was not willing to let the other party go like this, so I came over to exchange views with him first.
As for his opinion, after thinking for a while, Xu Chuan said: "First notify the Science and Technology Headquarters, and then recommend the following instructions: destroying 'national major scientific research infrastructure' and 'national major scientific research instruments and equipment' and 'carrying out terrorist attacks'
The crime must be characterized, transferred to the court, severely punished, deported after domestic sentencing and supervised execution, and permanently denied re-entry.”
Hearing this, Tai Xuewen raised his head and looked over in surprise. He couldn't help but swallowed and asked, "Is this too heavy?"
Although he was dissatisfied with the usual punishment methods in the past, and he also hoped to be punished more severely, he never thought it would be so serious.
After all, once these two crimes come out, if they really follow this characterization, they will basically start at ten years, and there will be no cap.
Xu Chuan snorted coldly and said: "It's okay, just tell them that this is what I suggested. CRHPC is not CERN. Come to my side to cause damage. If you don't kill a chicken to scare a monkey, it will cause trouble later."
There are still many things that are not good."
After a slight pause, he continued: "Also, contact the Science and Technology Agency and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to blacklist these two international environmental organizations..."
"Forget it...I'll write a letter to the science and technology team about this later, and we'll treat it as a typical example!"
He doesn't have a good impression of this extreme environmental organization at all.
In the name of environmental protection, they interfered with normal scientific research and bullied him. Without giving him a lesson, do you really think he is a soft persimmon and can be pinched at will?
Opposite me, Tai Xuewen's eyes flashed with excitement under his glasses. He quickly replied: "Okay, I will notify the security team and handle it in your way first."
After so many years, it’s time for some changes!
They have stood on top of the world again and should no longer be troubled by these trivial things.
.......
Although it was tormented by personnel from two international environmental protection organizations, this did not affect the normal start-up and operation of CRHPC at all.
After all, they are not CERN.
The daily repertoire over there makes no sense here.
If something like this really happens, I'm afraid all the security personnel will have to go to court-martial.
At 7:30 in the morning, in the main control room of CRHPC, top physics teams from universities across the country gathered here.
In the main control room, there were crowds of people, and it looked like a dark place. Research teams from major universities gathered together, communicating and discussing in low voices.
Everyone and every scholar has excitement and expectation on their faces.
For the physics community in China, there is no doubt that this is an epic day.
In the main control room, Xu Chuan stood in front of the main monitoring screen, looking at the pictures transmitted from the major detectors and even the fusion reactor power station specially built for the collider through the close-up pictures, and felt a surge in his chest.
Incessantly surging.
Time passed little by little, half an hour was not long, and the real-time reports from each team responsible for the first collision experiment also continued.
[The preparations for the CRHPC fusion reactor are completed, and the energy supply adjustment is all normal!]
[The track has been cleaned and it has been repeatedly confirmed that there are no problems!]
【The energy supply system is in good condition!】
[The superconducting system is stable and liquid nitrogen circulation cooling has been completed!]
【......】
[Detector calibration completed!]
[Target energy level for first collision: 17 trillion electron volts!]
Walking to Xu Chuan's side, Director Tai Xuewen took a deep breath, restrained the excitement in his voice and said: "All preparations have been completed... We can start the collision experiment!"
After hearing Tai Xuewen's report, Xu Chuan nodded vigorously and said: "Then, let's get started!"
"yes!"
Tai Xuewen straightened his back and responded enthusiastically.
"Turn on the power!"
With the calm and powerful instructions issued, the staff who had already made all preparations started their work in a stable and orderly manner.
The power of the fusion reactor, which gave birth to star-like energy, increased, and huge amounts of electrical energy poured into dozens of kilometers of underground pipelines, forming a powerful ring-shaped magnetic field here.
The particle acceleration hidden hundreds of meters underground has officially started.
The huge particle beam begins to officially enter the collider through the pipeline.
Perhaps many people's impression of the Large Strong Particle Collider is that two beams of particles are continuously accelerated through superconducting tubes, and then brought together for collision.
From a basic theoretical perspective, there is indeed nothing wrong with this impression.
But in fact the whole process is much more complicated.
Whether it is increasing or weakening the energy level of the particle beam, including the final collision, it is an extremely complex task.
The particle clusters or protons prepared in advance need to be upgraded in energy level through various accelerators such as linear accelerators, proton synchrotrons, and proton synchrotrons before they can officially enter the circular orbit.
This is like a car that before entering the highway, it must first increase its speed through the service road.
It's just that the energy level improvement of the Large Strong Particle Collider is more complicated.
Especially for the CRHPC ring strong particle collider, the collision energy level as high as 130 Tev cannot be completed in a day or two.
This is also the reason why the 17Tev energy level collision experiment was carried out on the first day, and the 100Tev energy level collision was carried out at the end.
Because from the energy level of 0-17 Tev, it is easy to say that the energy level superposition can be completed within one day, but for the energy level of 100 Tev, the energy level superposition time required is far beyond ordinary people's imagination.
...
Huge energy accumulates hundreds of meters deep underground. Driven by this energy that can simulate the moment of a supernova explosion, countless particle beams in the storage ring are continuously pushed and speeding.
When the time it takes for these particle clusters to fly around the entire main pipe continues to shrink, it also means that the energy level and speed of these particle clusters are constantly increasing.
The CRHPC Ring Super Particle Collider has a total of five large detectors and six small and medium-sized detectors. The trajectory of particle acceleration is not a simple circle.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with the main acceleration orbit being a circular ring, and five large detectors are also located on the main orbit.
But in addition to large detectors, it also has six small and medium-sized detectors.
These small and medium-sized detectors are located near the main orbit. They guide the particle beams from the collider through additional circular or arc-shaped orbits, decelerate them and weaken their energy levels before colliding.
But for this energy level collision of 17 trillion electron volts, all that is needed is the detector deployed on the main pipeline.
(You can refer to the structure of the LHC collider here, and you will know what is going on.)
Finally, under the control of the supercomputing center, the particle clusters that had reached the collision target energy level were released and collided with each other in this narrow but wide tube.
The magnificent scene, like a supernova explosion, cannot be captured by the naked eye.
The collision of particles, the fragmentation of protons and neutrons, the recombination of quarks, the coupling of gluons...
The originally dark and deep vacuum tube was now as gorgeous as the Creation.
The sparks and debris lased, the embodiment of energy and matter, and the detector deployed on the pipeline completely recorded this dazzling light.
On the main monitoring screen, the collision energy spectrum collected by the detector and drawn by the computer completely showed everyone this fascinating and intoxicating scenery.
Looking at the rough energy spectrum images projected on the big screen, the atmosphere in the main control room was pushed to its highest peak at this moment.
Everyone couldn't help but stand up, gave thunderous applause, and cheered for this moment from the bottom of their hearts.
The collision experiment of 17 trillion electron volts was a perfect success!
Although this is not the highest energy level collision experiment ever conducted in human history, it is the first time that China has its own large strong particle collider.
This is not only their work, but also the future hope of the physics community!
With it, humans will be able to create high-energy particles at the trillions of electron volts level, and can use it to simulate scenes infinitely close to the moment when the Big Bang occurred.
We can also look for more substances beyond the labeled model and explore the truth of the microscopic world.
With it, humans will be able to face the deepest darkness of the universe and explore the dark matter and dark energy that have never been explored!
You can even search for the legendary graviton and verify the void field theory beyond the universe!
A flood of applause rang out in the main control room, drowning out all the cheers and excitement.
Looking at the main monitoring screen assembled from several screens in front of him, Xu Chuan's face showed a bright smile from the bottom of his heart.
Two lives, decades of twists and turns.
Finally, today, one of his biggest dreams in life came true!
With this large strong particle collider, his vision will extend to places farther away than in his previous life, to explore the wonders of the microscopic world and to find the secrets of the universe.
That is his future, the future of physics, and the future of all mankind!
