From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Time flies, and in the next few months, Lin Xiao is waiting for the completion of the preparatory work for the Golden Crow Project, and at the same time waiting for the completion of the super proton collider of the Institute of High Energy Physics.

Afterwards, he naturally transferred the room-temperature superconductors that were originally assigned to them by the Jinwu Project to the Institute of High Energy Physics as promised.

Transferring their quota to the Institute of High Energy Physics will not affect them. After all, the collider of the Institute of High Energy Physics will be completed early next year, and their preliminary work will not be completed until next year.

It is mainly some key experimental equipment that needs to be ordered and purchased in advance, and the cycle of this matter is relatively long, and it may even be calculated in half a year.

In addition, not to mention that they also need to build a supporting deuterium-tritium extraction plant, that is, they need to extract and purify seawater, which requires the construction of submarine pipelines.

As for how to obtain deuterium and tritium from seawater, there is naturally a complete set of industrial solutions. Although it is a relatively troublesome matter, compared with the overall difficulty of controllable nuclear fusion, the difficulty of this matter is at best. It's one plus one.

Of course, although these one-plus-one difficulty questions do not need to be paid too much attention to, they still require the same time, or even more than those difficult questions.

So during this period of time, Lin Xiao, the chief engineer, hardly cared about the matters of the Jinwu project, and basically handed over these trivial chores to other people, such as Song Tao, who was the leader of the preliminary preparation team.

And he himself continued to try to find the key to unify the strong interaction force and electromagnetic interaction force from the mathematical method.

But obviously, he still couldn't find it.

Of course, this matter is considered normal. After all, not any physical problem can be solved by mathematical methods.

Perhaps the electroweak unified theory is the method of mathematical derivation by previous physicists, and after decades of hard work, they finally realized the theoretical unification of the electromagnetic interaction force and the weak interaction force.

But maybe the strong interaction requires certain experimental observations?
Lin Xiao couldn't make a conclusion about this, but he just needed to continue his research.

In this way, after the summer vacation, Shangjing University ushered in a new semester again.

Since Lin Xiao is now a professor of the School of Physics, according to his original request, the school did not continue to arrange classes for him, and at most let him go to an occasional open class or something.

Both math and physics.

It's a pity for the students of the School of Mathematics. They were able to take Lin Xiao's class before, but they can't now. As for the public class, to be honest, which of Lin Xiao's previous classes was not considered a public class?

So the students in the School of Mathematics are basically very uncomfortable.

The students of the School of Physics were very happy. For the students of the School of Mathematics, it was a loss, but for them this was a gain, a leap from 0 to 1.

In the past, Lin Xiao didn't teach physics class, at most he mentioned some physics knowledge in his math class.

And now that he has become a professor of physics, he has also started to teach open physics courses. This is simply a blessing for the students of their physics school!
So in the words of Dean Wang of the Academy of Sciences, their societies are like New Year's Eve, all kinds of celebrations.

Of course, for the School of Physics, Lin Xiao's "joining" this time also allowed the School of Physics to directly take off in enrollment this year. First, it kept up with the School of Mathematics, and secondly, it also directly achieved the best in physics majors across the country. As a result, the veterans of Qinghua next door were so sour that they wanted to cry.

I heard that for this matter, Wang Changsheng directly drank two cups, and even said that this wave was not a loss.

What he said is not bad. Naturally, it was because of Lin Xiao that he had a conflict with Zhao Qi, the dean of the Number Academy. Although this conflict has been resolved long ago, when Zhao Qi learned about this year's enrollment situation, he directly He roared angrily: "Old man, you and I are at odds with each other!"

Of course, even if Lin Xiao heard about these things, he would probably laugh them off at most, and the new semester is also a new school year, and he has also welcomed a new batch of graduate students.

Three in total, two in physics and one in mathematics.

Since there is nothing to do in the Golden Crow Project for the time being, Lin Xiao took some of his students along and guided them well for a semester.

In this way, time passed in this temporary leisure, and 2024, also in Lin Xiao's leisure, came to an end completely.

……

2025, April 3.

Huaguo High Energy Physics Research Organization, the completion of the circular electron-positron collider-super proton collider and the first academic committee meeting were officially held.

This meeting is to celebrate the complete completion of CEPC-SppC on February 2, and it is also a meeting to discuss the next research direction.

The Huaguo High Energy Physics Research Organization CHEPRO is an international cooperative research organization established out of the Institute of High Energy Physics. Naturally, its form is basically the same as CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research.

Similarly, just like CERN relies on the experimental device of the Large Hadron Collider LHC, CHEPRO also relies on CEPC-SppC, which is fully funded and built by Huaguo, for research.

As an international cooperative research organization, CHEPRO naturally has many member states. Researchers from these member states can come here to participate in research. As for the member states, they naturally include all countries in the world, and these countries also There are researchers from all over the world attending the meeting.

Therefore, this conference is almost equivalent to bringing together all high-energy physics talents from all over the world.

No high-energy physicist is willing to miss such a grand event. Of course, the most important thing is that no one of them wants to miss the ring-shaped electron-positron collider-super proton collider, this horrible thing.

The collision energy can reach up to 118TeV. Compared with the large hadron collider at CERN, it is simply the difference between children and adults.

118TeV, if calculated, is equivalent to accelerating protons to a level less than 1m/s lower than the speed of light.

And this kind of speed is achieved by manpower, in any case it is a miracle born in the hands of human beings.

What needs to be known is that although the LHC can accelerate protons to a degree that is only about 3m/s lower than the speed of light, which seems to be not much different from this, but according to the derivation of the mass-energy equation, the closer the speed is to the speed of light, the closer the energy is to infinity , so when the speed comes to the range of the speed of light minus one, the energy will also show an extremely exaggerated growth trend.

And the collision of such energy means—possible new particles, even new physics.

In this way, any paper can easily enter the stage of history.

So, no high-energy physics researcher wants to miss out.

Maybe, the next Nobel Prize-level achievement will be born in their hands?

After the meeting, after the initial congratulatory speech, as the director of the Institute of High Energy Physics and also the chairman of CHEPRO, Wang Yi said with a smile: "Then, next, let the chairman of our academic committee , Mr. Lin Xiao delivered his speech."

The applause suddenly sounded. The previous speeches were full of boredom and dullness, but Lin Xiao's speech drew everyone's attention.

After all, this is Lin Xiao.

Needless to say, many honors, everyone present knows it well.

And Lin Xiao also stood up with a smile and began his speech.

"First of all, welcome everyone..."
