Director: The special effects are too expensive, so I had to make real shots

Chapter 190 Should Huaguo spend huge sums of money to build a large particle collider?

"Guan Ju, verify and analyze the data of the particle collision experiment."

After the second palladium isotope new element experiment was conducted at the National Large-scale Particle Collision Experiment Center in Xiangcheng, Xu Nuo was still a little unwilling.

In addition to the analysis and calculation of the data by the supercomputer at the National Center for Large-scale Particle Collision Experiments, Xu Nuo also repeatedly verified it on his own AI Guanju and the large supercomputer.

however.

The results of this second experiment were still the same as the first.

It seems that it is very close to the new element palladium 3 that Xu Nuo wanted, but this new element created through accelerated particle collisions is not stable.

Although the decay rate is slower than the first experiment, it is still decaying at a speed "visible to the naked eye".

Unstable new elements are not the new elements that Xu Nuo wants, which means that it cannot be used as a catalyst for the second generation of cold fusion reactors.

"It seems that the equipment parameters have been adjusted to the limit. In the process of continuous acceleration, the problem of particle stability is not easy to solve."

At this time, Professor Yu came to Xu Nuo with a somewhat disappointed face, and summed up the most probable reasons for the failure of the two experiments.

Xu Nuo also recognized the reason for the failure analyzed by Professor Yu.

There is no doubt that the particle accelerator of the national large-scale particle collider in Xiangcheng can accelerate particles to a speed required for perfect experimentation.

But the problem is that the equipment is still too "small", which makes the acceleration circle after circle, causing some problems with the stability of the high-energy particle beam in the experimental equipment.

In the end, the "new elements" produced by the collision of high-energy particle beams could not meet the stability requirements of palladium 3 that Xu Nuo wanted.

"But."

Xu Nuo couldn't help sighing, frowned and said, "The large-scale particle collider in Xiangcheng is already our country."

When talking about this, Xu Nuo couldn't help but think of an event many years ago, a debate about whether Huaguo should spend huge sums of money to build a large particle collider.

The huge amount of money referred to here is not as simple as billions or tens of billions, but hundreds of billions!
And the large-scale particle collider built after spending this huge sum of money is not comparable to the current large-scale particle collider equipment in Xiangcheng. It may surpass the LHC of CERN and become the world's largest particle collider. Large particle collider!
In response to this issue, top scientists in related fields in China can be said to have had a heated debate.

And whether they support it or oppose it, they are all well-known scientists in China.

Among them, Academician Wang, an academician of the National Academy of Sciences and director of the Institute of High Energy Physics of the National Academy of Sciences, expressed his support for the construction of a large particle collider, even though this set of equipment for high-energy physics research requires huge sums of money.

The opposing side is dominated by the great physicist in China, Academician Yang of the National Academy of Sciences.

Whether it is the party that supports the construction of this hugely expensive super-large particle collider or the party that opposes the construction, there are actually some reasons.

Taking the LHC in Europe as an example, the existence of the Higgs boson was confirmed through this equipment, and the mass distribution measurement result of the Higgs boson was also confirmed to be 3.2 MeV!
The significance of this so-called "God Particle" in physical research is very important.

Therefore, many people say that large-scale particle colliders will be an important foundation for the continuous development of theoretical science for human beings in the future!

However, academician Yang and others in China have very good reasons for opposing the construction of a large particle collider.

First of all, this thing is really too expensive. Huaguo wants to build a super large collider, which can be regarded as a waste of time and money, because its construction cost will not be less than 200 billion US dollars, and it is only preliminary estimate.

Judging from the experience and data of Europe and the United States, there will generally be additional funding for large-scale particle colliders many times in the later stage, and the operating costs of large-scale particle colliders will certainly not be low after they are completed.

Since the country's annual scientific research expenditure is planned, the construction of a large particle collider will inevitably squeeze the scientific research funding in other fields!
The second is that the number of physicists in China is relatively small, and there are even fewer physicists who can use colliders in the research field. The frequency or "cost performance" is greatly reduced.

There are also some reasons such as the supersymmetric particle is just a conjecture, and no other experiments have proved its existence. If you try to discover this particle, it is even a conjecture within a conjecture, which makes it seem impossible to spend huge sums of money to build a super-large particle collider. Not so good value anymore.

At least at that stage of the debate at the time, it didn't seem necessary to build it.

The debate between the two sides also caused many netizens to participate in it at the time, and expressed their views one after another.

Today it is today.

The country has gradually attached importance to large-scale particle colliders, but due to reasons such as funding, construction speed, and scale, Europe's LHC is still the world's largest large-scale particle collider in operation so far.

"Professor Xu, we have tried our best."

At this time, Lao Fan from the experimental center also came in front of Xu Nuo and Professor Yu, and said with a little downcast.

Although it is a matter of pride to be in charge of this large-scale particle collision experiment center in Xiangcheng, there is a limit after all, and only a part of high-energy physics research and experiments can be carried out here.

However, there is no way to "realize" the experimental results that Xu Nuo and his team wanted today.

This made everyone present today a little depressed.

"We need to use a larger particle accelerator to complete this experimental research."

Although Xu Nuo was a little discouraged at first, he soon cheered up.

You can't just stop when you encounter difficulties, right?

Cold fusion technology is currently the energy technology that Huaguo relies on most and is also the most mature application. If there is no way to iterate, and in the future, palladium ore will not be detected on the moon, then the metal palladium will eventually run out. , and without metal palladium as a catalyst, cold fusion is difficult to carry out in reactor equipment.

In this way, many plans of the Science and Technology Agency and the Space Agency, including Xu Nuo's steel suit, will not be able to supply energy when the time comes, which will be bad.

"Professor Xu, you mean the LHC at CERN?"

After hearing Xu Nuo's murmur, Professor Yu couldn't help cheering up a bit.

But soon, many complex expressions appeared on his face.

And Xu Nuo just happened to be the same.

That's right.

The larger particle accelerator that Xu Nuo wants to use refers to the LHC of CERN. With that, it is believed that the new element palladium 3 can be created.

But the complexity is that the LHC thing is at CERN, guess why it is at CERN, there is no doubt that it is a large particle collider facility in the West.

If Huaguo wants to use it, the difficulty can be imagined.

Of course, it is not impossible. If it is changed to the previous blue star pattern, it may be impossible to use CERN's LHC.

After all, at that time, Blue Star was very targeted towards Xu Nuo's family, and even cutting-edge technology like chips would be strictly restricted.

Not to mention the large-scale particle collider equipment used for high-energy physics research.

However, due to the advent of the White Emperor Aerospace Fighter, the current situation on the Blue Star has indeed undergone some changes. Even the United States has entered a "honeymoon period" with China, and Europe, whether it is Germany or France , have increased exchanges and communication with the country.

This is why Xu Nuo thought about it just now, and thought that he should try to see if he could use CERN's LHC to complete the creation of the new palladium 3 element.

"Hey, it would be great if Huaguo also had a super large particle collider."

Lao Fan couldn't help sighing, and after a while, he also thought of something, and said to Xu Nuo and Professor Yu, "If it really doesn't work, we can just see if we can apply to use CERN's LHC for experiments."

It seems that all three of them thought of it together.

Xu Nuo looked at everyone in the experimental center. The young people in Professor Yu's team were all rather depressed after knowing that the two experiments failed.

"Sir, according to the current Blue Star structure and environment, it is feasible to apply for the use of CERN's LHC equipment."

Still standing behind Xu Nuo, AI Guanju gave Professor Yu and Lao Fan some confidence through data calculation and analysis.

"Um"

Xu Nuo thought for a while, maybe he had to ask the Science and Technology Department to deal with this matter.

After all, if you go to CERN on your own and say you want to use the LHC, can Europe and the United States agree?If you really agreed directly, it would be too sci-fi.

Even though the domestic White Emperor Aerospace fighter has a certain deterrent effect, the United States and Europe have only changed their attitudes towards "communication" with the country, but they are not completely "convinced". They will be completely convinced when they have led the Blue Star technological civilization and have the absolute right to speak.

Just when Xu Nuo was about to look for the Science and Technology Department, Colonel Luo Wei from the Science and Technology Department called.

It must be to ask about the progress of the experiment or whether there are any results.

"Hello, Lao Luo."

"How about it, how about old Xu, is there any new progress? Is there any exciting news?"

Colonel Luo Wei was looking forward to it.

Because Xu Nuo can always bring surprises to people, he is a scientific and technological genius in Huaguo, this iteration of cold fusion technology, even the Chen Department is looking forward to it, and from the current layout of the Science and Technology Department and the Space Administration Look, the continuous application of cold fusion technology is really important.

"The experiment failed."

Xu Nuo replied calmly.

As a director and also engaged in black technology, Xu Nuo knew that his path might be smoother because of the existence of the system, but it was definitely not smooth sailing.

No, there is no problem on my side, but the hardware can't keep up, so I can't complete the creation of new elements this time, so there is really no way.

"what?"

After Colonel Luo Wei heard the words, he was not too surprised, but felt a little pity: "It failed, so what is the reason? The theory? Or is it difficult to implement in operation?"

Colonel Luo Wei certainly didn't know the specifics of scientific and technological research and experiments, but he was more or less familiar with the basic process.

The first is to put forward hypothetical theories, and then do experiments to verify the theories, such as creating new elements that can replace palladium. It must be after Xu Nuo and his real group have theoretical support that they will use large-scale particle colliders to do it. Experiment to verify implementation!
Since it failed now, there must be something wrong with one link.

"There is no problem with the theory. We are also very close to success in the particle acceleration experiment, but we are limited by the upper limit of the equipment. It would be nice if the particle accelerator was bigger."

Xu Nuo explained the reason for the failure to Colonel Luo Wei in relatively easy-to-understand words.

"Well, it turns out that the equipment can't keep up."

Colonel Luo Wei said regretfully, "Is there any solution?"

"Yes, I'm going to find your Science and Technology Department."

Xu Nuo saw that Colonel Luo Wei took the initiative to ask, so he followed his words and said: "Our experimental team needs a larger particle accelerator, and at present, on our Blue Star, apart from our own construction, there is only one One place fits the bill."

"LHC?"

Colonel Luo Wei generally knew some news about the large-scale particle collider, and knew that the largest large-scale particle collider facility on Blue Star is undoubtedly the LHC of CERN.

This means that Xu Nuo wants to use LHC?
Hiss. Well, Colonel Luo Wei said that he can just say nothing about this matter.

After all, most of Colonel Luo Wei was able to guarantee Xu Nuo's needs at the first time, but he needed to report this matter to the Office of Chen.

"Yes, think of a way to see if I can send my team to CERN to do experiments with the LHC."

Xu Nuo immediately stated his plan.

At that time, I don't need to go to Europe, but Professor Yu and his team can go, and I have already conducted two experiments in Xiangcheng. Although it failed, it can be regarded as having experience. It would definitely be no problem for Professor Yu and his team to conduct particle collision experiments in the past.

And Xu Nuo can participate remotely and online.

"Then if, I mean, if we can't communicate on this matter, Lao Xu, what if we build our own super large particle collider in China?"

Colonel Luo Wei made an assumption in advance.

That is, after communication, there is still no way to use the LHC at CERN.

"Are you saying that Huaguo wants to spend huge sums of money to build a large particle collider?"

Hearing what Colonel Luo Wei said, Xu Nuo guessed what he meant.

"Yes, otherwise, it is controlled by others after all."

Colonel Luo Wei thought more about it.

Although the blue star pattern has changed, CERN's LHC is still in the hands of the United States and Europe after all.

"We can build it, but not now, nor is it on the scale of the European LHC. Lao Luo, we have to take a long-term view. No, we should look up."

Xu Nuo suddenly said earnestly.

"Look up? You mean. Space?"
