At the end of July, when the news came out that the prediction data of the coupling constant of strong electric symmetry breaking had been raised to 5sigma with a confidence level, it swept through the entire physics community like a tornado.
If this was not just a piece of news reported by CERN and the targeted acceptance report meeting had not yet been held, I am afraid that the official media of various countries would take the initiative to report it.
This has nothing to do with the competition between CERN and CRHPC, nor does it have anything to do with the interests of various countries, nor does it care where this achievement was made. It is purely a commendation of human wisdom and congratulations on the breakthrough of the scientific frontier.
For Xu Chuan, although it is a pity that the core of the unified theory of strong electricity has not been verified in his own hands, no matter who completes the verification work, he is the proposer of the theory and cannot be shaken.
No one can take away this honor.
...
Three days is not long, and the 100 Tev energy level test collision experiment was successfully completed under the coordination of many scientific researchers and engineers.
For the CRHPC Ring Super Particle Collider, as long as the 130Tev energy level experiment is successfully completed on August 1st, the overall acceptance work will also be successfully completed.
At that time, the corresponding subsequent construction funds will be transferred through the bank, which can be said to be a great event for both the construction unit and the Star City Government.
After all, the construction of the Large Strong Particle Collider is a huge project worth over 120 billion yuan.
Even though the CRHPC agency has successively paid more than 60% of the payment in the past two and a half years in the past two and a half years, the remaining 40% is still of great significance to the construction unit and the Star City government.
pressure.
This is enough funds to affect the development of hundreds of thousands of companies and even local governments, so it cannot be underestimated.
The time soon came to August 1st.
On this special day, Star City also welcomed physicists, representatives from universities and physics institutions from all over the world.
The weather outside is breezy and cloudless, which is a rare good weather.
Of course, even if it is bad, the weather must be good today, and the Meteorological Bureau is always ready.
Taohualing, outside the headquarters building of CRHPC.
There was an endless stream of people coming and going, and it was a busy scene.
Standing at the main entrance of the headquarters building, several formal concierges with standard smiles on their faces greeted every guest who came to participate in the conference.
Although CERN's outstanding surprise has attracted the attention of many physics circles, and many top physicists have gone to CERN to participate in acceptance work reports, the collision work at the 130 Tev energy level is attractive to physicists.
Not too small either.
Standing at the door, a slightly younger concierge took advantage of the fact that there were no guests for the time being. He suppressed the smile on his face and briefly moved his legs and feet.
After all, if you stand for a long time, both your body and your smile will look a little stiff. It's always good to find time to move around.
"Is there a report meeting at CERN today?"
Looking at the endless crowds inside and outside the headquarters building, he said to the rather young concierge staff.
Standing next to him, another older concierge nodded slightly and said, "Well, it seems that Academician Xu's unified theory of strong electricity has been verified. CERN is ahead of us."
Although the concierge staff is not a scholar in the field of physics, there has been a lot of news in the field of physics these days about the collider and the unified theory of strong electricity, and even ordinary people know about it.
"It's a pity. It would be great if our collider could verify this work."
The younger concierge said regretfully.
At this moment, several foreign scholars with blond hair and strange eyes came to the door. The two people who were still communicating quickly stopped talking and guided the guests who came to attend the kick-off meeting into the headquarters building.
After finishing all this work, the young concierge breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the various foreign faces, he couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Xu, you said that our country is building this large strong particle collider, why do you want these foreigners to participate?"
Come in?"
"The collider is a scarce resource in the world. Can't we just play with it behind closed doors? In this way, the results will be all our own."
The person called Brother Xu is the slightly older concierge just now. Although he is said to be older, he is actually less than thirty years old.
After all, working in the concierge industry has very strict requirements on appearance, age and other aspects.
The young man named Xu smiled and said: "These are all decisions made by the country. Why are you so worried about this? Is it possible that the country is not as high-minded as you?"
"That's not true."
The younger concierge smiled innocently, couldn't help scratching his hair, and continued: "It's okay to let foreigners in. I just heard that free funding subsidies are provided to foreigners to do research. This is not like shepherding...
...Well....."
"You kid, don't talk nonsense outside." Brother Xu glared at him, then shook his head and continued to explain.
"Win-win cooperation is the last word. Although our country has developed very well in the past decade or so, we cannot imitate the Qing Dynasty and close the country and do our own thing."
"These days, the whole world is competing with each other and cooperating with each other for development. Lao Mi has always been eyeing us, including those in Europe. They have always listened to Lao Mi. If we want to compete and confront, we can't do it alone."
, you must have a helper, right?"
"This opportunity is very good. Using the collider to win over a group of countries to stand with us, isn't that the plan?"
After a slight pause, he glanced at the crowded hall, and then said: "So what if we provide free opportunities for foreign scholars to do experiments? You have to know that we didn't have such ability to let so many top students do experiments before.
Physicists come to our country to conduct research."
"They are here, and they are doing experiments. How can they not be grateful to our country? The collider is here. No matter how many foreign scholars there are, they can't be more than our own people. The casual advice from those big guys is enough for the students of our country to learn from. Already."
"This is equivalent to spending money to hire big names that you couldn't hire before to give guidance to domestic students. What does that little money mean to the talents you cultivate?"
The two concierges took advantage of the end of the welcome to chat at the door. In the CRHPC headquarters building, the physicists who had arrived were also contacting their friends.
"Tilman, long time no see, my old friend."
In the office area of Hua Guoqian District, in Professor Tillman Lunt's office, two old friends hugged each other warmly.
One of them is Professor Tilman Lundt, one of the former heads of the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics.
He has designed and manufactured the world's largest stellarator device, 'Helix 7-X', and created a plasma operation control time of more than two hours. It was once considered the greatest hope for realizing controllable nuclear fusion technology. one.
It's just a pity because Li Xiao, led by Xu Chuan, successfully completed the controllable nuclear fusion technology through the 'Tokamak Device' route.
The stellarator route was abandoned by various countries without any surprise.
Later, the Spiral Stone 7-X was sold by the Planck Institute of Plasma Physics, and is now installed on the Hercynian aircraft carrier, providing it with a steady stream of power.
As for Professor Tillman Lunt, after leaving the Planck Institute of Plasma Physics, he was tricked by Xu Chuan into coming to China to serve as a technical advisor to the CRHPC institution.
"Long time no see, Professor Wilzek."
After giving the visitor a polite hug, Tillman pointed to the sofa with a smile and continued.
"I didn't expect that you didn't go to CERN to attend the acceptance report meeting of coupling constants for strong electric symmetry breaking, but instead came here."
The visitor was none other than Professor Frank Wilczek, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2004. He is mainly engaged in research in the fields of condensed matter physics, astrophysics and particle physics. The two had had many encounters when they were at CERN. We are friends and we are friends.
Wilzek smiled and said: "It's not just me, there are many old friends who haven't gone there."
After a slight pause, he continued: "I heard that you have been working in China in recent years?"
Hearing this question, Tillman had a proud smile on his face: "Yes, I came here from Germany more than two years ago to serve as the director of the CRHPC collider after being invited by Professor Xu many times. Technical consultant to help him design and build this large strong particle collider."
Obviously, Tillman is quite satisfied with his work after leaving the Planck Institute for Plasma Research.
Although he traveled thousands of miles to come here, his life was not affected much.
He was very satisfied with both the salary and holidays. He even took his wife over from Germany and lived with him here.
Of course, he is proud of the design and construction of the CRHPC Ring High Particle Collider.
Although this is not his contribution alone, no one can ignore his contribution in this process.
Wilzek was a little surprised. Although he knew that Tillman had been working in China in recent years, he really did not expect that he would actually participate in the design and construction of the CRHPC collider.
He raised his eyebrows and joked with a smile: "Are the Chinese people so big-hearted? While having a stalemate with CERN, they actually dare to invite the former superconducting magnet designer of the LHC to serve as a technical consultant for CRHPC?"
Tillman laughed and said, "You have to ask Professor Xu Chuan about this."
Wilzek smiled, skipped the topic, and said, "Speaking of which, what is the performance of CRHPC? Can it really achieve an energy level collision of 130 Tev?"
In fact, he is not the only one who has doubts about this issue. Many physicists also have a certain hesitation.
After all, compared to the LHC, this improvement is not just a little bit, but an entire order of magnitude.
The collision energy level of 130 Tev could be said to be unimaginable in the entire physics community before.
Hearing this question, Tillman smiled and said, "Did you know? Before today's kick-off meeting officially started, we have already tested the CRHPC. Can you guess what the collision energy level is?"
"How many?"
"A full 100 Tev! And the experiment went very smoothly. It only took us a week to increase the energy level of the particle cluster from 17 Tev to 100 Tev!"
Hearing this, Wilzek's eyes widened, he couldn't help but take a breath, and quickly asked: "Hey~, how is this possible? CRHPC's superconducting material support?"
As we all know, when the particle clusters in the collider move in the opposite direction in the circular tunnel, the strong electric field causes their energy to increase dramatically.
Each time these particles travel around, they gain more energy.
But to keep such high-energy particle clusters or proton beams running requires a very strong magnetic field, and only powerful superconducting materials can do this.
However, the properties of different superconducting materials are also completely different. Only superconducting materials with strong critical magnetic fields can transform into stronger magnetic fields.
In this regard, the ability of the upgraded high-brightness LH-LHC collider to achieve an energy level of 35 Tev has amazed the entire physics community.
The 130 Tev collision energy level advertised by the CRHPC collider can be said to be four times that of the LH-LHC, directly exceeding the 100 Tev energy level. It is difficult not to make people doubt whether this is true.
Tillman smiled and nodded, saying: "Of course, the superconducting material provided by Professor Xu not only supports 130 Tev energy level collision experiments, it even has the ability to break limits."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Breaking the limit?"
Upon hearing this somewhat weird adjective, Wilzek frowned and looked over with some confusion.
Tillman thought for a while and said: "Actually, it's not breaking the limit, it's just filling the load."
"Um?"
"To put it simply, the coolant currently used in CRHPC is liquid nitrogen. You should be aware that the cooling range it can provide is only -80°C to -196°C."
"In the case of liquid nitrogen cooling, the energy level that CRHPC can provide is at the 130Tev level."
"But if the liquid nitrogen cooling system is completely replaced with liquid helium with lower temperature, more precise control and better performance, it can exert more powerful performance in a short time and provide an energy level exceeding 150Tev."
"However, due to the relatively low refrigeration efficiency of the liquid helium refrigerator, the limit-breaking operation time is difficult to compare with the normal operation, but it can provide opportunities for collision experiments with higher energy levels."
“This is what Professor Xu Chuan calls ‘limit-breaking’ full-load operation.”
Wilzek's eyes widened, he swallowed the air dryly, and couldn't help but ask: "It's incredible, how far has China's superconductor technology developed?"
Tillman shook his head and said, "I'm not very clear about this either."
After a moment of silence, he continued: "However, judging from my many years of experience in designing CRHPC and CERN superconducting magnets, the superconducting technology mastered by China is probably more than one level ahead of the world."
"If I guess correctly, the superconducting material used in their space shuttle should be the same as that used in the CRHPC collider. Only this kind of superconducting material can provide such a huge magnetic field to accelerate the plasma."
Wilzek smiled and joked: "Can this be said? Does this count as leaking secrets?"
Tillman shrugged and said: "What does this mean? These are all publicly available data. A simple inference can tell that it is difficult for me to access the truly confidential data, unless...
..."
"Unless what?" Wilzek asked curiously.
Tillman shook his head and said: "Unless I am willing to immigrate here and become a Chinese citizen, then they will allow me to have access to the real core technology and data."
"You won't be tempted, right?" Wilzek asked smoothly.
After hesitating for a moment, Tillman said: "It's indeed a bit..."
Before he finished speaking, Wilzek looked over with a surprised look on his face: "What? Are you really tempted?"
Tillman nodded and shook his head, saying: "China has developed very fast in recent years, and living here is quite good, both in terms of medical resources and educational resources. Especially now that they are eager for other
The immigration conditions offered by the country’s scholars are quite generous.”
"In addition, it is indeed quite safe here. No matter it is day or night, even late at night or early in the morning, you will not have any problems walking on the street alone..."
Wilzek shook his head and said, "I suggest you consider this matter carefully. Immigration is not a trivial matter."
