From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 198 This Is Our Science
In the CERN headquarters, when we came to a reception room, we could see seven people sitting in it, chatting.

Lin Xiao knew three of them from CERN, including Fabiola Gianotti.

The other four people probably came from Fermilab in the United States.

And when they saw Lin Xiao enter the room, they got up one after another.

"Mr. Lin."

"Mr. Lin, hello."

Lin Xiao nodded to them.

Gianotti came up and introduced them.

"I believe Mr. Lin, I don't need to explain further, Lin, this is Nigel Lockyer, the director of Fermilab, and Fermilab is also an important international partner of CERN."

Lin Xiao looked at the man in front of him, stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Lockyer, hello."

"Mr. Lin, I have also wanted to see you for a long time."

Lockyer nodded with a smile, and shook hands with Lin Xiao, "I'm really glad that there are physicists like you in our world, leading us physicists to find the way to success when we are lost, and believe in multidimensional field theory. Definitely the greatest theory in the world, and I see the glory of God in it."

"It's ridiculous." Lin Xiao smiled and said, "My theories are also based on the wisdom of countless predecessors. My work just sublimates them."

"Just? Then I think your sublimation is like the hand of God, calling them."

Locke laughed loudly.

After some touting, Lockyer seemed to be quite talkative, but this also surprised everyone else.

As the director of the Fermilab in the United States, he used to look very arrogant. He didn't think much of ordinary scholars, especially for those young scholars. Now when he faces Lin Xiao, his posture is quite different. It's unbelievable that it's so low.

However, the person in front of him is the proponent of the multidimensional field theory after all, and his strength is the most respected in the academic world. Lin Xiao is indeed enough to win the respect of this Lockyer.

Of course, after the touting was over, Gianotti introduced several other people to Lin Xiao, and then got to the point.

"Have you heard that Lin is measuring the mass of the W boson recently? How is the situation now?"

Hearing this question, Lin Xiao smiled and said, "That's it, as you know, the measurement of the W boson's mass is not so easy, and our progress is not particularly great."

Lockyer waved his hand and said, "I don't think so. Didn't you say, Lin, that the measurement should be completed before this year's Solvay meeting? It's August now, and with a mathematician like you here, there must be no Too big of a problem, right?"

Lin Xiao spread his hands and said, "How can it be so easy, we are still collecting data."

"Collecting data? Isn't your data readily available?"

Lin Xiao smiled: "There are still some new data that need to be collected."

Lockyer was taken aback, "New data? Isn't the LHC still being upgraded and maintained? Where should the new data be collected?"

Lin Xiao picked up the tea next to him and took a sip. Although foreigners prefer to drink coffee, he has gradually developed the habit of drinking tea.

Then, he looked at Lockyer and said, "Mr. Lockyer, tell me, aren't those noisy wireless electromagnetic waves annoying in our experimental environment?"

Lockyer nodded approvingly: "Yes, it's really annoying. These noises are as annoying as mosquitoes when you sleep at night."

Without these wireless electromagnetic waves, the accuracy of their experiment would not know how much it could be improved, but unfortunately, this problem obviously cannot be completely solved, it can only be alleviated, but the efficiency of the mitigation is not high.

Lin Xiao put down his teacup and said, "So we reduce these noises and remove them from our measurement data as much as possible. Will it be convenient for us to measure the mass of the W boson?"

Lockyer was taken aback, and said, "Lin, you don't have such a plan, do you?"

"Why not?"

Lin Xiao spread his hands, "Eliminate these noises, and then we will find traces that may represent W bosons. Believe me, this will be the only way we can measure W bosons more accurately."

Before Lockyer could speak, another researcher from Fermilab next to him couldn't help saying, "This is impossible!"

"If the electromagnetic wave noise is really so easy to solve, I'm afraid it has been solved long ago. It affects at least 15% of all our experiments! If this problem can be solved, it means that the accuracy of our experiments can be improved on average. 15%, we don't know how much research in this area has been done before!"

"Lin, don't tell me that you want to solve this problem before the Solvay meeting officially starts on December 12, and then solve the problem of measuring the mass of the W boson?!"

Lin Xiao looked at the researcher. His name is Rhys Packett, a professor of physics at the University of Chicago. Fermilab is affiliated with the University of Chicago, so this Professor Packett also works in Fermilab.

Of course, his reputation is not small, and he is quite prestigious in the physics community.

In the face of such a professor's questioning, probably no one will take it seriously.

However, Lin Xiao just smiled and said, "Professor Packett, sometimes life needs some surprises, doesn't it? Maybe one day before the Solvay meeting, you will be able to hear such a surprise." ?”

"Besides, I didn't say to completely eliminate the noise of wireless electromagnetic waves, but to minimize their impact."

"By reducing them to an approximate functional formula as much as possible, these problems will not be a problem."

Rhys Packett looked at Lin Xiao's confident face, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but in the end he leaned back on his seat and sighed, "Maybe I'm getting old."

He couldn't understand this young man anymore, just like the multidimensional field theory before.

Now it is actually said that it is necessary to solve the problem of interference of wireless electromagnetic waves on particle accelerators.

For him, this is unimaginable.

Not to mention that Lin Xiao actually has to complete this matter in less than five months, which is even more unimaginable.

Is this something that human beings can do at this stage?

Lockyer next to him patted Packett with a smile, and said, "Old Reese, we are not good at mathematics after all, so we should trust Lin."

Then he nodded to Lin Xiao and said, "Then I hope you will succeed. If you do, it will be a boon to all our particle physics researchers. Unfortunately, this matter We can't help you with things, and I can only wish God to bless you."

"Just don't worry, Mr. Lockyer." Lin Xiao smiled, "At least, I haven't failed yet."

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, everyone present couldn't help being stunned.

Yes, in their impression, Lin Xiaoke has never failed.

From mathematics to material chemistry, and then to physics, he can always make various amazing achievements.

Elizabeth, who was standing aside, also looked at Lin Xiao's side face, her eyes showed admiration, a confident man is always so attractive.

……

The conversation didn't end there. They then exchanged a lot of experience in the research, and it didn't end until more than an hour later.

After Nigel Lockyer and his group said goodbye to Lin Xiao, they did not leave. They had other exchanges and visits afterwards. After all, they did not come here just to meet Lin Xiao.

However, looking at the back of Lin Xiao leaving, someone couldn't help asking: "Can he succeed?"

"It doesn't matter if he succeeds or not, just do our job well."

Nigel Lockyer said.

"A few months... We have been working on it for more than a year! If he succeeds first, our efforts will be in vain."

Their Fermilab is also calculating the mass of the W boson, as Elizabeth said before, they do have the idea of ​​spying on the 'military situation'.

Originally, they thought that Lin Xiaocai had been researching for several months, and no matter what they thought, it was impossible for them to succeed one step ahead of them. But seeing Lin Xiao who is so confident today, they felt that maybe Lin Xiaozhen could succeed one step ahead of them.

"No experiment is in vain." Nigel Lockyer waved his hand and said, "If he succeeds, our experiment will help them carry out the 'checking' process, and if he fails, he will also help us Give us experience, help us, and we'll do for him what we both wanted."

He turned and walked away, "This is our science."

　Ten thousand updates will be resumed tomorrow, but two chapters will still be maintained, which is conducive to uniform ordering.

　　In addition, there may be a full-book extra chapter in the near future, the content is very explosive (to brag, it is about one-tenth of "Three-Body Problem"), I hope everyone will support it.
