Chapter 53 [Handron Collider]

The Caltech Geneva delegation officially set off on December 15th.

The inspection lasted for five days and mainly visited the ALICE experiment of the Hadron Collider.

This experiment can reconstruct the initial shape of the universe after the Big Bang, and will play a huge role in promoting research in astronomy, particle science, theoretical physics and other fields.

Xiang Nan and others can watch the experiment up close and get first-hand experimental data.This will undoubtedly be of great benefit to their future scientific research.

Before Xiang Nan arrived, he had just read some papers on black holes, particles, dark matter, and gravitational waves, which are still fresh in his memory.

Combined with these experimental data, he can publish a large number of papers, thus becoming a leader in astrophysics, particle physics, and theoretical physics.

……

After the delegation arrives in Geneva, check in at the hotel first.

When Xiang Nan and Peggy entered the assigned room, they were all stunned.

I saw that the room was a single room with only one queen bed.

"What's going on?" Peggy asked in surprise.

Xiang Nan thought about it, and immediately understood.

"This study tour is nominally academic research, but it is actually a public-funded tour, so members are allowed to accompany them." He smiled and said, "And most of the partners that members bring are their wives and girlfriends. The room is normal."

"So that's the case." Peggy nodded, "Then I'll go see the head of the regiment now and ask him to help me change a room."

Xiang Nan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Then I'll go with you."

He had wanted to dissuade.Living in the same room, of course, facilitates their relationship.

But he knew that Peggy had been hurt by men and was very wary of men.If you act rashly, it will definitely arouse her vigilance.At that time, it is very likely that the chicken will be stolen without losing the rice.

So he finally decided to follow her wishes.

Moreover, he knew with a high probability that the head of the regiment would reject Peggy's request.

On the one hand, single room and double room are different in price.This is a public tour, so money must be spent carefully.Converting a single room to a double room will cost a lot of money. Who will pay for the money? !

If a group member does not like to live in a big house, if a precedent is set for her, others will also ask for a double room.After five days, this is a lot of money.

On the one hand, the Peggy people were soft-spoken and couldn't say anything about the head of the regiment.Whether or not a precedent can be opened depends on who it is for.Peggy is just Xiang Nan's assistant, and although Xiang Nan is an academic star, his level is very low and he is just a researcher.

Among the members of the delegation this time, there are many professors and tenured professors. Xiang Nan is not prominent among them, so the head of the delegation will not make an exception for the two of them.

……

Sure enough, after Peggy found the regiment leader, the regiment leader immediately refused.

"A double room is [-] dollars more expensive than a single room, and it will cost [-] dollars more in five days. Are you responsible for the extra money?" The hotel is full of people, we finally booked these rooms, how can we get the extra room for you to exchange."

Being so scolded by him in person, Peggy couldn't help embarrassed.

"If this is the case, then I can only bear it." Seeing this, Xiang Nan persuaded quietly, "Well, I will ask the hotel to help you change two single beds, what do you think?"

"Well." Peggy thought for a while, and finally nodded.

Although this means that they still have to live in the same room, it is better to sleep in separate beds.

Xiang Nan then accompanied Peggy to find the hotel manager and asked to replace the double bed in their room with two single beds.

However, this request was also declined by the hotel.

Because they ordered the room to be of such specifications, because the person who placed the order did not inform in advance, it is impossible to change the bed temporarily.

Seeing such a reply from the hotel, Peggy couldn't help but feel anxious.

In this way, wouldn't it be embarrassing for her to sleep in the same bed as Xiang Nan? !
Although she has a good impression of Xiang Nan, she has not reached the stage of sharing the bed.

"Don't worry, I'll ask again." Seeing this, Xiang Nan quickly persuaded, "If changing the bed doesn't work, can you add a folding bed?"

"I'm sorry, it's the peak tourist season recently. There are too many guests staying in the hotel, and the folding beds we have reserved have been exhausted." The hotel manager refused firmly and politely.

Hearing what he said, Xiang Nan was speechless.

It seemed that he and Peggy slept together, as if they were destined to be.

"Why is it like this, oops, what should I do?" Peggy also worried.

"Okay, don't worry, we are so smart, we can finally figure out a way." Xiang Nan persuaded her, "Let's go back first. We will visit CERN later, don't worry about this trivial matter. affect things.”

Hearing what he said, Peggy had no choice but to give up.

……

Afterwards, Xiang Nan and Peggy joined everyone and went to CERN to visit.

CERN's particle collider project started in 80 and was jointly built by more than 7000 scientists and engineers from more than [-] countries around the world.

It is buried 100 meters deep underground, with a total length of 27 kilometers of circular tunnels, a total weight of 110 tons of equipment, and a total cost of up to [-] billion U.S. dollars.It is the largest and highest energy particle accelerator in the world.

It was officially completed in June [-].This test is the first time that humans have successfully simulated the initial state after the Big Bang.Therefore, its experimental data is crucial, and it is likely to lead to a big bang in physics.

Therefore, for this experiment, not only Caltech was invited, but many schools around the world were invited.

It can be said that the cutting-edge talents in the field of physics are gathered here at this moment.

Not to mention well-known professors, well-known scholars, even Nobel Prize winners are not uncommon.

Today's visit is mainly to attend some conferences, and the real ALICE experiment will not be carried out until tomorrow.

However, even the conference is very impressive. Most of the speakers are the leaders of the physics community, and they also discuss many problems faced by the physics community.

Participating in such conferences is also of great help to improve one's professional level, expand one's network, and broaden one's horizons.

The crowd then took a minibus to CERN.

It can be seen that experts and scholars from all over the world have gathered here. After meeting, the greetings became one.

"You are Dr. Rajesh Kusapali who discovered TOI700D, it's an honor to meet you!"

"Dr. Kusapali, your research on the Kuiper Belt is really in-depth, and I would like to have the opportunity to discuss it with you more."

"You are Dr. Kusapali who published the paper "The Edgeworth-Keber Fragment Disk", your paper is very well written and has greatly inspired my work. Hope to have time with you Discuss."

Although Xiang Nan is young and has limited experience, he can still stand out even in such a star-studded occasion because of his prolific writing.

Seeing so many top experts and scholars express their admiration to Xiang Nan, Peggy couldn't help but stare.
