As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 89 Restarting CEPC
Although Europa has tried its best to conceal the fact that it has discovered new particles through the Large Hadron accelerator, the news was inevitably leaked due to the large number of member states.

It’s just that other countries have limited information and only know that the LHC in Europa has made groundbreaking discoveries on the soul.

Only America has accurate information about what the specific discovery was.

At this time, England is jumping up and down to get back into the Europa League.

As countries gradually gained a deeper understanding of magic, they realized that this was not something that small countries could handle.

Small countries have neither the resources nor the talent pool to invest in mathematics and astronomical observations alone.

It is true that England is a developed country, but they are very weak in astronomical observations.

Two years ago, there was a piece of news as follows: England's Greenwich Observatory resumed astronomical observations after a lapse of sixty years.

You should know that the prime meridian is the starting point of the world time zone with the Greenwich Observatory.

This observatory stopped astronomical observations for sixty years and restarted them two years ago.

As for the Webb telescope developed jointly with America, all the scientists in England have been expelled back home.

American claims that the Webb telescope encountered force majeure and could not continue joint development.

Only scientists from the Maple Leaf Country stayed. The Maple Leaf Country can be said to be a retreat for the American top leaders. The interests of both sides are deeply intertwined, and the connection is much closer than the outside world thinks.

As a result, America's Webb telescope was launched into space in the blink of an eye, making England realize that America was completely unreliable.

Not only did he learn all my thick-skinned and black-hearted qualities, but he also surpassed me.

England can only hope to return to the Europa League.

Apart from other things, Europe is much stronger than England alone in terms of astronomical observation and mathematics.

Europa also houses the world's largest particle accelerator.

Europa refused very bluntly. It was you who wanted to leave at first, and now you want to come back?

What do you think the Europa League is? A hotel or an inn?
Even though England expressed its willingness to pay a large fine, it was ruthlessly rejected.

England, which was ruthlessly rejected, realized that it had become an orphan in Europe, and they chose to huddle together with the orphan Neon in Asia for warmth.

Neon originally wanted to play with America, but America said, "Who are you? Please know your place. Are you qualified to play magic?"

Neon knows its own limitations and knows that China will definitely not agree to cooperate with it.

It happened that England was also singled out at this time, so England simply brought its former little brother Kangaroo Country into the picture, and the three parties set up a joint research organization together.

The geographical environment of Kangaroo Country is very advantageous, with vast plains and sparse population, which is suitable for building large telescopes and is a very good astronomical observation point.

At the same time, Kangaroo Country is also very strong in astronomy.

Neon is strong in optical instruments and industry, and England is barely first-rate in mathematics.

In a sense, the three parties turned a disaster into a blessing and formed a good complement.

China has chosen to form a team with Russia, and both sides will invest half to build a high-energy particle accelerator larger than the LHC on the border between the two countries.

China had originally planned to build a particle accelerator with a circumference of 100 kilometers. You should know that the circumference of the LHC on Europa is only 27 kilometers. In addition, China's original plan was to use a brand-new technology, using circular positron-electron collisions to make particles collide at speeds close to the speed of light.

The output power is much higher than that of the LHC, reaching seven times the maximum energy of the LHC.

The project, referred to as CEPC, completed its conceptual design at the end of 2016.

The basic design and geographical location selection will be completed in 2019, with a planned cost of more than 300 billion RMB.

But it was later suspended for various reasons. After the news from Europa was confirmed, the project was urgently restarted.

"Professor Wang, the CEPC project is about to be restarted, but this time the site needs to be near the border between us and Russia. We need to choose a new site."

"Those places are not suitable. The transportation of materials, the climate of the geographical location, the deployment of personnel and other aspects are not suitable."

"This is a cooperation between the two countries. It cannot be changed by our personal will. Please prepare as soon as possible and notify the team members to prepare to set off!"

Russia shared Perelman's conjecture and optimization proof with China at the same time to establish a preliminary mutual trust mechanism. China also synchronized some intelligence related to the magic brain.

At the same time as China launched the CEPC plan, Neon also started the ILC plan.

ILC stands for International Linear Collider. It was originally planned to be built at the intersection of Miyagi Prefecture and Iwate Prefecture, but was stalled due to its high cost.

The cost of high-energy physics experiments is too high, easily reaching tens of billions of dollars, which is simply not affordable for small countries.

Previously, the construction cost of ILC was estimated to be around 535 billion RMB, which is billion more expensive than CEPC.

This time, Japan has brought in England and the Kangaroo Country to invest in the project, which will be shared by scientists from the three parties after completion.

Japan can at least find partners, but Korea can only work on its own and no one is willing to pay attention to them.

To some extent, the hatred between Japan and Korea is even deeper than the hatred between China and Japan.

Diplomats from various countries were maneuvering during this period. Seeing that no one was willing to play with them, the Korean country wanted to bring together the South Asian countries to set up a scientific research organization.

Lion City is a small country with only one city, but it has far more influence than just one city.

Lion City is a small country with big ambitions, and they realize that this is a rare opportunity for Lion City.

"We can take this opportunity to integrate these countries in South Asia, starting with the research and development of magic, and gain control of the South Asian Alliance."

The South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation is just a regional economic alliance, but that doesn’t mean it can’t do more.

"The White Elephant State is eyeing the South Asian Alliance covetously. Can we really profit from it?"

“It is best for cooperation to involve two or three countries, so that the magic coin can be easily distributed. The South Asian Alliance has as many as 10 member countries.”

“At most, we can win over South Asia economically.”

"The problem is that we don't have many decent chips to offer."

"No, Singapore has money and sufficient scientific research teams. Our scientific research capabilities are the strongest among these countries."

"As long as the headquarters of the joint scientific research institution is located in Singapore, we can use this to achieve our goals step by step."
