As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 291 Another Mage is Born (Please Subscribe!)

Zheng Li did not expect that he would be able to take control of such a large organization as CERN in less than a year.

Higgs did die of natural causes and he did not do anything wrong.

Zheng Li guessed that Higgs passed all the power and magic brain to him.

Without Higgs's direct assignment, it would have taken some time for him to gain control of CERN.

In fact, Zheng Li could not interfere with the experiments of other experts.

CERN is filled with Nobel Prize winners.

The greatest convenience for him is that he can use the LHC's experimental equipment more freely.

And be able to interfere with the experimental choices of the people below to a certain extent.

It is impossible to directly ask others to do research in a certain direction. At most, both parties can discuss it. If the direction you propose is interesting, challenging and has a high possibility of producing results, it can be helpful.

That way others might listen to you.

Of course, if Zheng Li stays here for five years, he is confident that he can better control this place.

But that's enough for now.

“Human life is too short, it passes in the blink of an eye.

I've been here for many years, and when Steinberg died, everyone mourned him in the same way.

If life-extending potions had existed at that time, he might have lived two more years.

But it's okay. If he were alive today, given his background, he would most likely be asked to return to America."

Kate and Zheng Li were talking in the corridor on the 13th floor of CERN at noon while looking at the Alps in the distance.

“You’re right, the world isn’t getting better or worse.

It was just operating according to its own logic, and Merlin's arrival was just an accident.

He added a variable to this chaotic world, that's all."

Steinberg is a CERN researcher who studies neutrinos. He won the Nobel Prize in Physics for accidentally inventing how to produce high-energy neutrino beams and proving the existence of two types of neutrinos.

He was of German descent and immigrated to America because of the war.

According to the definition of the Europa Union, scientists with this background are unlikely to continue working at CERN.

They did a background check on all CERN employees.

CERN is much less popular now than before.

As for cooperation with external institutions and enterprises, it has basically stopped.

You should know that CERN has previously cooperated with some companies in many fields. For example, they have previously conducted research on autonomous driving with a certain company.

There is a long distance between autonomous driving and theoretical physics.

"How's London going?"

Zheng Li felt a little strange discussing himself with others, even though it was just an alias of his.

So Zheng Li tried to change the subject.

Kate’s attention is clearly drawn to the current state of London: “It’s much better than before.

Prices are still high, but they are lower than before.

Then the government also gave money.”

Zheng Li recalled a sentence he heard in China and asked, "I have seen a saying that says giving money to everyone is the same as not giving money."

Kate quickly shook her head: "How is that possible.

Everyone is given money, and the little money given is really meaningless to the rich, but it is money that can actually save lives for the lower-class people.

You have to know that the marginal effects of giving money to the poor and giving money to the rich are completely different.

This is very necessary in this environment.

It can improve people's expectations for the future to a certain extent and stimulate consumption at the same time.

If giving money to everyone is really the same as not giving money, then collecting taxes from everyone is the same as not collecting taxes?
The logic of things is not dualistic at all, there is only cause and effect.

Things in the real world are very complex, and there is a long chain of processes between cause and effect.”

Kate then said: "You can learn more about this issue by reading microeconomics."

Zheng Li nodded and replied, “Okay.

So has everyone in London learned magic now?
I saw something like this on the news.”

Kate nodded and said, “That is, we don’t have an external network here.

I took a leave of absence to go to Geneva two days ago. After surfing the Internet there, I found that Twitter, Instagram and Tik Tok were full of magic-related videos.

It was like London had become the Magic City.

If you watch Tik Tok, it seems like everyone has magic powers.

I actually asked my parents and they said most people learn magic.

The magic of the London system is easy to master, but that doesn't mean everyone can master it.

You know, there are Squibs in Harry Potter.

The city of London should gradually open up in the future. I read discussions online that say London will adopt an authorization system in the future.

You need authorization to enter London, and it is time-limited.

It is equivalent to London being separated from England and treated as a special area.

Once you have a visa for England, you will need to get a 'visa' for London before you can go to London.

However, this is just a temporary plan under discussion among the public and has not been officially confirmed.”

"The situation in London is largely under control."

After the situation in London was under control, Boris began to appear on various TV shows to publicize his hard work and the difficulties he had put in during this period.

Trying to restore his image in the eyes of the general public in England.

CERN is mainly responsible for the research of theoretical physics.

Applied physics is basically not placed at CERN.

For example, ITER, an international joint controlled nuclear fusion research organization, has a dedicated board of directors and is headquartered in Cadarache, France.

There is not much connection with CERN.

Currently, many countries are investing money and resources in the direction of controlled nuclear fusion. In recent years, the funding for controlled nuclear fusion has shown a clear upward trend.

For example, the previously stalled Europa Circulator received a financial budget allocation of 500 million euros in the latest Europa Union budget.

"Then I thought about it. If Merlin hadn't come and we were able to achieve a breakthrough in the soul realm, then what would our generation have left for future generations?"

Kate continued: “I’ve always felt that 2000 to 2020 was a pretty boring period.

The capitalists converted the technology of the last century into civilian technology and promoted it around the world.

But in fact, in these twenty years we have not left any scientific discoveries worth exploring for future generations.

These are twenty years of capital carnival.”

“The Internet was invented by CERN, but we don’t seem to have invented anything exciting in the past 20 years.”

The first picture on the Internet was a photo of four CERN administrators and female scientists, which was uploaded to the World Wide Web by Berners, the father of the World Wide Web, at the request of his colleagues. "We have proved the existence of higher-dimensional space."

“Yeah, that’s why I said that with Merlin, I can feel the new vitality in the scientific community.

Everyone feels like there is still a long way to go.”

"We could consider using a heavy liquid bubble chamber with neutrinos to see if soul particles can induce the production of electric currents and charged leptons."

Leptons are fermions with a spin of /2 that do not participate in strong interactions.

If we explain what fermions are here, this series of explanations will never end.

Zheng Li had never used many of CERN's equipment even in the Mage Alliance, and had never even heard of them.

Therefore, after becoming the head of R&D at CERN, the first thing he had to do was to familiarize himself with all the equipment here.

"Alan, have you considered using the reactor C21J and the accelerator to perform more common neutrino experiments?"

"We can do this to see if leptons can be produced and if the charge of the leptons can be conserved under this condition."

"Okay, let's prepare for the experiment right away.

It is expected to start with MiniBooNE and the Liquid Scintillation Neutrino Detector.

Setting constraints and future sensitivity predictions on the soul particle from electron scattering data from a large number of neutrino experiments.

See if you can find new constraints available in the MCP Quality window.”

LSND or Liquid Scintillation Neutrino Detector is 5-35 MeV, and MiniBooNE is 100-180 MeV.

"I still need to think carefully about the specific experimental methods. Today we just need to discuss a preliminary implementation path."

Zheng Li got the hang of it quickly. He worked for more than twelve hours a day almost every day, which made the CERN researchers recognize the style of this new R&D director:
A workaholic with no life at all.

For Zheng Li, he can even work for 24 hours without rest.

It is a magical experience to be able to see the sea on Clark Island in Malaysia 24 hours a day and the Alps at the CERN headquarters on the edge of Geneva.

You can also see the Jinji Lake CBD from the Science and Technology Innovation Biology Building in Suzhou.

At the same time, you can also feel the atmosphere of life in Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown.

Zheng Li sometimes feels like he is living in different dimensions and different time and space on Blue Planet.

“SpaceX successfully obtained a magic coin.

I can finally become a mage! Looking forward to it. "

After Musk sent out the tweet, the term “Mask magic” instantly topped the Twitter trending search list.

"I always thought Musk was Iron Man, but I didn't expect he was Harry Potter"

"Is Musk finally going to Mars? The first magician on Mars is a good gimmick."

"Damn rich people, even if they have magic, only rich people can become wizards. How desperate is this?"

"Dude, you're wrong. Merlin's magic has nothing to do with money."

"Have you seen any of these mages who are without money?"

"Neon's Mochizuki Shinichi is not a stupid rich man, he is just a mathematician."

Arguments on the Internet are extremely boring, no matter whether you win or lose.

Because if the other party loses, they can block you, and you will be even more unhappy if you win.

The relationship between Musk and Twitter is also a farce. He first said he wanted to acquire Twitter, signed the agreement, and then changed his mind and said he would not buy it.

Then the two sides began various negotiations. The core reason why Musk refused the acquisition was that he believed the price of 54.2 million yuan per share was too high.

Twitter isn't worth that much.

Of course, saying that you want to buy something and then refusing to do so with unfounded reasons is clearly against business ethics.

Musk's apparent reason for not acquiring Twitter is that there are a large number of fake accounts on Twitter.

In fact, for such a huge acquisition, there will be a very complete due diligence before the acquisition agreement is reached.

It is impossible for Musk not to know that there is a problem with fake accounts. This is just an excuse, not the real reason.

“I don’t care whether Elon Musk is going to Mars or becoming a magician.

I only care about why my Tesla’s range is only 800 kilometers when the range of China’s new energy vehicles all starts at 2,000 kilometers?

Can Tesla stop advertising itself as the best new energy vehicle in the world before using Bluestar's best lithium battery technology? "

Although overseas media tend to downplay the range of China's new energy vehicles, this information is not difficult to obtain for consumers of new energy vehicles.

Western media have been accusing China of monopolizing the export of super lithium batteries, believing that this is a form of state monopoly.

The reason why the word "national" is added before the word "monopoly" is because the new lithium batteries will also be sold to domestic joint venture car companies.

Companies like SAIC Volkswagen and GAC Toyota have obtained super lithium batteries manufactured by domestic battery factories.

After these joint venture car companies obtain super lithium batteries, they will sell some of their new energy vehicles using super lithium battery technology to Western countries.

New energy vehicles powered by super lithium batteries are invincible in the European and American markets.

This has made European and American consumers even more dissatisfied.

There are mainly two reasons. The first is that the number of new energy vehicles using super lithium batteries allocated to the West is very small, and they have to be snatched every time.

Secondly, the price is very high, at least 30% more expensive than other new energy vehicles.

However, even with a 30% premium, consumers are willing to choose this new energy vehicle with a range of up to kilometers.

As for why overseas car companies have not obtained super lithium batteries, the unanimous statement from China is that the production capacity is insufficient and the supply cannot be supplied.

As for why LG and Panasonic, the two battery manufacturers second only to CATL in the world, cannot obtain patent authorization for super lithium batteries, they asked.

Ke Chuang Bio's response was that the production capacity of graphene 3D coating manufacturing equipment is limited, and the production capacity for the next five years has been locked in by domestic battery manufacturers through agreements.

The monopoly is not complete, and China still leaves room for selling super lithium batteries overseas.

However, even so, Kechuang Bio has received a number of large fines for monopoly in the past two years.

Especially the Europa League, which has the harshest penalties.

Every time Li Miaomiao received news of a fine, she would feel heartbroken when she saw the fine amount in billions and euros.

After Musk became a wizard, netizens made fun of his previous remarks on Twitter.

Because after Zheng Li became a mage, some netizens @ him on Twitter and asked him to share his thoughts.

Zheng Li has always been praised by Western media as China's Musk, but after Zheng Li became a master, few media mentioned this.

However, the media often compares Musk and Zheng Li.

Because both of them are representatives of China and America in the technology industry.

"There's nothing to be happy about in becoming a wizard. After using the magic brain, you will most likely become Merlin's puppet."

These were Musk’s exact words at the time.

Now it has been dug up by netizens and slapped in the face:

"Oh Mr. Musk, are you going to be a puppet too?"

"Why are you so happy about being Merlin's puppet?"

"Now is the time to defend the dignity of the humans on Blue Star. Give me the magic brain and I will take the risk of becoming a puppet for you."
