From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

"The unification of the three basic forces!"

After Lin Xiao's words came out, the physicists present stood up involuntarily.

What?

The unity of the three fundamental forces?

What Lin Xiao meant was to say that during his "lost contact" period, he was actually studying the three basic forces of unification?

All the people present had only one feeling: this is too crazy, right?
Of course, what Lin Xiao was talking about was the unification of the three basic forces. Basically, the people present did not have much doubts. Gravity has just been proved to exist. The specific nature of gravitons has yet to be collided with them in the future. Continue to verify and confirm in the test.

Therefore, what they can basically know is that the unification of the three basic forces mentioned by Lin Xiao is the strong interaction force, electromagnetic interaction force and weak interaction force.

Of course, the latter two can already be called the electroweak interaction force, but looking at it now, if Lin Xiao’s conclusion is finally verified to be correct, then think about it, it will be called the electroweak strong interaction force in the future .

Thinking of this, the people present felt an incredible surprise in their hearts.

No matter what, this really felt a little unbelievable to them.

Lin Xiao went back to study for a while, and when he came out, he told them that these three basic forces were unified?
And from the final theory of everything, there is only one gravitational force left?

And they just got a huge breakthrough in the research on gravity.

If you think about it this way, they are already very close to the ultimate dream of physics?

The physicists present all had different expressions, and finally they all set their eyes on the two equations written by Lin Xiao in front of them.

They quickly recognized the equation system on the left, which is the equation system in the electroweak unified theory. Although it has undergone some rewriting, it is still very familiar to the high-energy physicists present. It's easy to see.

The equations on the right made them feel a little strange. Of course, they all knew the symbols inside, so they could still analyze what was written in the equations.

And soon, these physicists were relatively good at mathematics, and quickly analyzed the general meaning of this equation system.

This new equation includes the specific action method of the strong interaction force, and also includes the relationship between the electromagnetic interaction force and the weak interaction force.

And in this way, this system of equations including the strong interaction force can be linked with the previous equation system of the electroweak interaction force.

So—the three basic forces are unified!
On the road of pursuing the theory of everything in physics, a milestone that must be completed has been reached!

"It's incredible, it's really incredible..."

That Professor Tekind Vidi shook his head at this moment, looking at the thing in front of him like a dementia, full of disbelief.

At this moment, he has completely forgotten about restarting CEPC and continuing the next experiment. The "beauty of physics" possessed by these two equations at this time has deeply sunk him into it.

In the face of this kind of truth, scientists like them, even if there are more important things, they can be forgotten for a short time.

After all, for them, the whole purpose of their work is to seek and discover the truth.

So just like that, the conference room fell into a brief silence, and Lin Xiao also smiled, giving these people time to absorb this new knowledge.

After a while, finally, the physicists present gradually came back to their senses.

Wang Yi looked at Lin Xiao with admiration in his eyes, and gave him a thumbs up.

It took half a month for Lin Xiao to come up with this kind of thing. It was really hard for people to think how he did it.

Could such an important theory be developed so easily?

Wang Yi shook his head, this, he really can't think of it, at least he can't think of it himself, of course, there are not too many people in this world who can think of it.

In the past, when the relationship with Lin Xiao was not good, or it could not be considered good or mediocre, every time he heard what Lin Xiao had achieved, he usually forcibly diverted his attention and did not pay attention to this matter. matter.

But at this moment, he began to pay attention, and seeing this kind of thing happen in front of his own eyes, he began to feel that this is simply not something that humans can do.

Of course, there is no need to think too much about whether Lin Xiao is a human being, and then he said: "Chairman Lin, no matter what, I still want to thank you for our physics community. Finally, another mountain in the physics world has been Our scientists have conquered it, which is a good thing for our physics community."

When the others heard Wang Yi's words, they all came back to their senses one after another, and then they all began to congratulate Lin Xiao.

Although I haven't seen Lin Xiao's derivation process, the correctness of this result is basically beyond doubt.

After all, these two equations can be completely related together, and at the same time, all the formulas of the equations are also established. Next, only one very simple step is required to completely combine the two equations. Together, so that the strong interaction and the electroweak interaction are truly integrated.

This kind of thing is like the mass-energy equation E=mc. Even if you don't know how this formula is derived, you can use it directly.

Of course, the present congratulations are congratulations. Although these two equations can be combined, it is also said that for the physicists present, rigor should be put first.

So they are still very concerned about how Lin Xiao derived these equations.

Perhaps, there are some fatal mistakes in it, which will make this seemingly correct equation system turn out to be wrong in the end?
So, someone asked: "Chairman Lin, may I ask if your paper has been published on arxiv? Or, do you plan to prepare an academic report first?"

As soon as this question came out, everyone present immediately turned their attention to Lin Xiao, wanting to know his answer.

Whichever it is, they are acceptable.

At this time, all of them just wanted to know Lin Xiao's plan as soon as possible, so that they could know Lin Xiao's plan as soon as possible.

However, to everyone's surprise, Lin Xiao just smiled and said, "No, before these two things, I have one more thing to verify."

Then, he turned his head again and began to write on the blackboard. This time, he started to combine these two equations into one equation.

This step is not troublesome, at least for Lin Xiao, so after several transformations that can be called dazzling in the eyes of others, the original two equations are integrated, and one can be called the electroweak and strong interaction. The thing that unified the equations of force appeared in front of everyone.

At this time, Lin Xiao turned his head, looked at this kind of person with a smile, and said, "Please guess now, what will happen when the energy in the equation reaches 110TeV?"

Everyone present was stunned, the energy in the equation?
They knew that what Lin Xiao said was the "E" in the equation, after all, E stands for energy.

When E is equal to 110TeV?

They couldn't help substituting 110 into it.

And soon, one of these physicists figured it out.

Then, the person who calculated it widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "Will the three basic forces appear as the same force?"

Everyone else showed the same shocked expression belatedly.

"Yes, that is."

Lin Xiao nodded with a smile, "Under the energy of 110TeV, the three fundamental forces will show the same nature, which is the real electroweak and strong interaction force."

"So, next, I need to use our CEPC to verify my conjecture."

"Oh by the way, speaking of which, is our CEPC overhauled now?"

It suddenly occurred to me that when I started to study things, CEPC had already entered the maintenance work of the initial operation, and I didn't know if it was over.

As soon as Lin Xiaogang said this, he felt that the atmosphere in the conference room seemed to have changed. The physicists present all seemed to cast towards him... resentful expressions?

He touched his nose and asked Wang Yi in a low voice, "Uh, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Wang Yi spread his hands and shrugged, with a helpless expression on his face, and said: "Actually, the maintenance was completed a week ago. I have been in touch with you during this time, but you can't be contacted. You also know that you are our Chairman of the academic committee, the next scientific plan needs to be decided by you."

Lin Xiao was taken aback for a moment, didn't expect such a thing to happen?
He couldn't help but turned his head to look at the physicists present, and finally showed an embarrassed expression on his face, and said, "Ah... then I'm sorry everyone, this was my negligence. If you continue to study If we formulate a scientific plan, I guarantee that this kind of thing will not happen again, and we will try our best to discuss it in advance.”

Hearing Lin Xiao's apology, everyone present smiled and shook their heads. At this time, they were not so angry. After learning that Lin Xiao's disappearance during this period was actually to study the unification of the three forces, they did not What to be angry about. .

And that Tekind Vidi also smiled and said: "Well, for the sake of Chairman Lin, you have researched this thing, let's not mention this matter for now."

"However, Chairman Lin, the verification on the particle collider you mentioned doesn't conflict with your papers and academic reports, right? Why wait until you verify this?"

Although the experiment with a particle collider is only an experimental verification of Lin Xiao's result, in addition to rigorous mathematical derivation and verification, the two obviously do not conflict.

Why not?

But Lin Xiao smiled, spread his hands and said: "As long as I pass the verification of the experiment, then I will be more confident. In addition, it can also create a sense of expectation for everyone."

Hearing the reason given by Lin Xiao, everyone present was taken aback for a moment, and then shook their heads helplessly.

What kind of reason is this.

Looking at the expressions of these people present, Lin Xiao smiled, but didn't say anything.

In fact, the reason for verifying this point is actually the same as his original purpose.

That is to find a way to make the connection between the electromagnetic interaction force and the strong interaction force, and then realize an alternative new material.

And this needs to be verified through this experiment.

However, this is not enough for outsiders.

"So, next, let's start discussing the next scientific plan?"

At this time, Lin Xiao also found his seat and sat down, and said at the same time: "Since our collider has been repaired, don't let it waste your life."

After being reminded by Lin Xiao's words, the people present immediately reacted.

Indeed, it's time to discuss the next scientific plan, and they can't let their big toys continue to waste their lives for no reason.

The best way to use this kind of collider is to keep it running, so that it can exert its maximum value.

If possible, they even want to save the maintenance process.

As a result, the next meeting turned into a scientific plan discussion meeting, and they wanted to determine the next research project as soon as possible.

Of course, the plan proposed by Lin Xiao to find a way to make the three forces behave as a unified force at the collision energy of 110TeV was naturally approved first.

After all, regardless of Lin Xiao's status as the chairman of the academic committee, the plans he proposed are often approved. The most important thing is that this experiment is related to the unification of the three forces, and everyone present is full of curiosity.

So soon, a meeting passed, and the matter of the next scientific plan was decided in this way, and then, the results of the discussion were announced to all the research groups in the research organization.

And among these announced news, there is naturally the unification of Lin Xiao's three basic forces of electricity, weakness, and strength.

Once this news was announced, it caused an uproar again just like Lin Xiao had proved the existence of gravitons back then.

[The unity of the three basic forces of the electroweak and strong! 】

These words are always hot words in physics, and they are all combined at this moment, and the symbol at the end is not a question mark, but an exclamation mark. This alone is enough to attract their attention.

The most important thing is that these hot words are also related to the word "Lin Xiao", which makes them even more concerned.

For the current scientific community, it has basically become a habit. When they see a subversive or hugely innovative title, they will first check whether the author of this thing is Lin Xiao, if not If it is false, and if it is, then they have to study it carefully.

But now, this is another subversive and innovative title that appeared in front of them, and the author is Lin Xiao, so the scientific community is boiling, and all scientists began to inquire about the news, wanting to To know if this is true, this time not only people who study physics, but also people who study mathematics, chemistry, and even social sciences have come here.

All in all, no one is not interested in this matter.

And on the major forums, this matter has also been discussed by many people.

"Lin Shen is too inhuman, isn't it?It was only a while ago that the existence of gravitons was proved, but now the unification of the three forces has been revealed?Is there anything Lin Shen can't figure out? 』

"Don't forget about the Golden Crow Project. Now Lin Shenke is still the chief engineer of the Golden Crow Project. He can produce such important results in front of the chief engineer. He is simply too invincible. Maybe the time will come when the Golden Crow The plan also worked. 』

"It is estimated that some people will discuss whether Lin Shen is an alien or not. 』

"Coincidentally, you are downstairs"

"Brothers, I have already said that Lin Xiao is an alien. Strictly speaking, he does not belong to an alien, but a higher-dimensional person. Otherwise, how can he research multidimensional field theory?"This kind of subject is not researched by earthlings at all, so everyone trust me, let's go together.』

"Together with what?" 』

"It's over, this guy has probably been arrested again"

"A purely rational discussion, how strong is Lin Shen's theory? 』

"It's not a question of being strong or not, it's just a rare theory that can be called invincible for short.I don’t know about the Grand Unification Theory, do you know it? Anyway, this thing that Lin Shen came up with is the pre-theory of the Grand Unification Theory. In addition, Lin Shen recently created the graviton. Hiss... I feel that Lin Shen is here A big game of chess? 』

"Not to mention the issue of strength, I can only say that this thing created by Lin Shen has directly advanced the development of our physics community by decades."

"I'm afraid it won't be 100 years. If there is no Lin Shen, it will be a problem whether we can understand the strong interaction force after 100 years. Oh yes, there is also the problem of mass gap, which is also a heavyweight."

"Why are you talking so much, just blow it up!" 』

"..."

The Internet has shown great enthusiasm for this big event in physics.

After all, for those who study science in high school, as long as they have studied physics, they will basically know the four basic forces, and they will also know how awesome it is to unify these four basic forces.

Now, although Lin Xiao only unified the first three basic forces, it sounds awesome.

Of course, the reaction of the general public is definitely not as intense as that of the scientific community.

First is the graviton, and then the unification of the three fundamental forces. These two major events seem to have produced a chemical reaction, and began to make more first-class high-energy physicists choose to go to CEPC, including those in CERN. scientist.

At first, many physicists felt that the culture and language of Huaguo were different. Most of these physicists were born in Europe and the United States, so they were more accustomed to working at CERN. More and more of these people have also made a decision to come to Huaguo CEPC.

As for the physicists doing research here at CERN's LHC, there are fewer and fewer.

If this continues, CERN will probably close the LHC as soon as possible and seek cooperation with CHEPRO instead.

However, these are things for later.

As time passed, CHEPRO became more and more lively, and finally, the day to restart CEPC came.

In the central control room, after hearing that all the preparations were ready, Wang Yi gave another order: "Start!"

With the introduction of a huge current, this behemoth buried deep in the ground began to operate again.

Collisions of particles again take place in those tubes.

And this time the running time is one month!

After the particle collider is officially in operation, it usually does not stop for a long time.

Like the LHC, because liquid helium is needed to make the internal niobium-titanium alloy coil reach a superconducting state, once it is shut down, all the liquid helium needs to be discharged.

And this is obviously a waste of money. After all, hundreds of tons of liquid helium will be used to fill up dozens of kilometers of pipelines once it is started, which is of course very expensive.

After CEPC uses room temperature superconductors, this problem does not exist.

Of course, it is best to keep CEPC running for a long time. After all, although liquid helium is not required to start up once, the power consumption is still quite large.

……

After CEPC began to operate, the research laboratories where each detector was located also quickly received the experimental data detected by the detectors.

These experimental data were quickly uploaded to the server, and various research groups also began to analyze these data.

Among them, Lin Xiao was also included.

In this way, after a period of research, Lin Xiao finally found a data generated under the impact of 110TeV energy.

And after substituting the approximate values ​​of these data into his equation system, both sides of the equation system are perfectly equal!
This also means that the experiment has verified that the three basic forces are already unified!
