Chapter 254 Ion Cannon Information Leaked! Perhaps, we should surrender?

The Nobel Prize was established according to Nobel's will.

There were originally five awards: Chemistry, Physics, Literature, Peace, and Physiology or Medicine.

Later, the Swedish Central Bank established the "Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel", which was first awarded in 1969. People usually call this additional award the Nobel Prize in Economics.

Although each award is a Nobel Prize, in fact, the sponsoring organizations of each award are different, which also leads to differences in the authority and influence of the awards.

For example, the Physics Prize and the Chemistry Prize are both sponsored by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, and their authority is relatively high.

The Nobel Prize in Literature and the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine are awarded by the Swedish Academy and the Karolinska Institute respectively, and their academic authority is relatively lacking.

The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded by the Norwegian Nobel Committee, and because of political interference in the selection process, it has no authority at all.

Of course, the authority of the award is only relative to vertical comparison. In a single field, the influence of the Nobel Prize is still very large.

Among them, the Nobel Prize in Physics is undoubtedly the highlight of the Nobel Prizes and one of the most internationally watched awards.

The selection of the Nobel Prize in Physics is the responsibility of the Nobel Committee of Physicists.

The Nobel Committee of Physicists is composed of internationally renowned physicists, some of whom are from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, and others are also very prestigious scholars.

The chairman of this year's Nobel Physics Committee is Jagland Bernhard Anderson, one of the most influential astrophysicists in the world and plays a vital role in the physics community.

Such a person naturally has many titles, such as member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, vice president of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, director of the Royal Academy of Sciences' Institute of Cosmological Physics, and so on.

Last year, during the rotation election of the Nobel Prize in Physics Committee, Jagland added another title: he became the chairman of the committee.

As the chairman of the award committee, Jagland is naturally highly regarded in the international physics community, and his work is also highly regarded.

Many scholars are concerned about who will win the new Nobel Prize in Physics.

Now, Yaglan was very troubled. He had never expected that he would encounter such troubles when he served as the chairman of the selection committee for the first time.

"Should we give this year's award to Zhang Shuo?"

This issue has sparked a lot of discussion.

There was endless debate within the award committee, and many people in the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences were also discussing it, because the most influential thing in international physics is gravity creation.

Gravitational manufacturing relies on the correlation model between electromagnetic force and gravity, and it was Zhang Shuo who completed the basic theoretical research.

Someone said very confidently, "The confirmation of the origin point theory and related physical discoveries are far beyond the reach of a physics prize."

The achievements of all Nobel Prize winners in physics over the past 20 years combined are not as significant as the discovery of the 'gravitational signal', because it represents the possibility of creating a completely new type of physics and even leading mankind to a technological revolution.

This is not an exaggeration, but something that is recognized by the scientific community. The most powerful proof is the gravity aircraft.

The research conducted by Zhang Shuo's team can already support the manufacture of aircraft using gravity technology.

Before this, all aircraft flew into the air by relying on the upward force created by pushing the air.

This is true whether it is a fighter jet, a helicopter or any other aerial device.

The principle of its flying into the air is not different from that of birds. It creates an upward force by constantly "flapping" the air, which allows it to take off.

Gravity technology is different. Relying on the creation of gravity to fly is definitely a leap forward.

This can even be compared to the invention of the steam engine, which enables mankind to achieve a new industrial revolution and technological innovation.

Guided by this technology, many people believe that humans will truly step out of the earth and into the universe.

Such a significant achievement in physics cannot be measured by a single award, not even the Nobel Prize in Physics.

But the problem is that Zhang Shuo directly refused to be a candidate.

If it were someone else, they would refuse to be a candidate, that is, refuse to come to Stockholm to receive the award, and would just cross out their name.

However, Zhang Shuo’s achievements in physics are so great that he could not win the Nobel Prize in Physics. So who else could win the prize?

Can the award selection still be convincing?
This affects the authority of the award.

In fact, the selection of the Nobel Prize in Physics is somewhat similar to that of Fields, and there is also a default "candidate queuing system".

In other words, many candidates' achievements are just the awards they are about to receive, and they have not produced any international-level physical results for a long time. Every "near" candidate has the opportunity to win the award as long as he lives long enough.

At the same time, as in the case of Fields, there is a default queue-jumping value for the Nobel Prize in Physics.

When major international physics achievements emerge, the relevant scholars can directly receive the awards of that year.

Another default rule of the Nobel Prize in Physics is that theoretical physics achievements are excluded from the award candidates.

Because of this, neither Edward Witten nor Steven Hawking were able to win the award.

Unless their theories are clearly verified during their lifetime, they will not receive the Nobel Prize in Physics.

It's like the discovery of the Higgs boson.

Higgs field theory is also a theoretical physics, but more than a decade into the new century, experiments in nuclear organization discovered the Higgs particle.

With this, the Higgs particle became a clear physics discovery.

The physicist who conducted relevant theoretical research directly "jumped in line" and won the Nobel Prize in Physics that year.

The situation is the same now, and even worse.

The gravitational signal was discovered by several international scientific teams, and the researcher of its underlying theory, "the correlation model between electromagnetic force and gravity," Zhang Shuo, naturally won the Nobel Prize in Physics.

The problem is that Zhang Shuo refused to be a candidate for the award.

Zhang Shuo could refuse, but because his achievements were so significant, the Nobel Prize in Physics Committee could not agree.

One of the most prestigious international awards cannot be given to anyone it wants. In order to maintain the authority of the award, fairness and justice must be guaranteed.

Zhang Shuo's achievements are so significant that they are known to everyone, and he is also the most famous scholar in the world.

If Zhang Shuo did not win this year's Nobel Prize in Physics, others would certainly question the award selection.

Is the selection fair?

Zhang Shuo did not win the award. Is it because he is Chinese?

Does the selection of the Nobel Prize in Physics have a political color?
This will be a voice that the Nobel Prize in Physics cannot avoid, and it will also have many subsequent impacts. For example, they will not be able to select any winner in the field of source physics, which is a completely new direction of physics.

the reason is simple--

The founder of the origin point theory and the contributor to mainstream physics theory could not win the award. How could other scholars who conducted research on the origin point theory win the award?

The thing an award fears most is questioning. A large number of questioning voices will affect the authority of the award. Without authority, the award itself will become meaningless.

The Fields Medal encountered a similar situation. After Grigory Perelman proved the Poincare conjecture, he refused to accept the Fields Medal.

At that time, Grigory Perelman was the brightest star in mathematics.

So, even though he explicitly refused to receive the award and even refused to attend the Mathematicians' Congress, the Fields Committee still announced that he was the winner. The chairman of the committee even chased him home to give him the medal and prize money. Grigori Perelman did not go out at all. He refused to see anyone.

In this case, he was still included in the Fields Award list.

Zhang Shuo also clearly refused, but Jagland could not accept it, and neither could the Nobel Prize in Physics Selection Committee.

“This year’s award has to go to him.”

"Even if he refuses to be a candidate and doesn't come to the ceremony, we can't give the award to anyone else."

"If it is given to anyone else, the selection will lose its fairness."

"But the rule is that you have to attend the awards ceremony..."

"Rules, what's the big deal? Everyone knows that rules are just for publicity. Others don't care what the rules are. They will only say that we are making things difficult for the winners, or even that the awards are tied to the political system."

"If such a voice appears, or even many similar voices appear, we will become sinners of the Physics Prize..."

"The question is, how to do it?"

When it came to the real issue, everyone else fell silent.

Yaglan knew that he had to make the decision himself, because he was the chairman of the award committee. Finally, he took a deep breath and said, "I will talk to the Academy of Sciences. Maybe we can not let him attend the award ceremony."

"If that doesn't work, we can learn from Fields' approach and give the reward directly to him..."

"In short, no matter what, this year's award must be given to him!"

……

Zhang Shuoke had no idea about the troubles of the Nobel Prize in Physics Committee. He received an email from the committee and had a joking chat with Li Liu Shuangyue and Xue Bokun.

Then, I just refused.

It's just an award, which means nothing to him.

The Nobel Prize in Physics can only be an embellishment for him personally and has no significance at all.

After the new solution group verification experiment is completed, the follow-up work related to the new solution group will be handed over to other people in the project team.

Yao Qiming, Wang Qiang and others will be responsible for subsequent matters.

This includes contact with the Department of Science and Technology, the Bureau of Science, Technology and Industry, and the Aviation Group, as well as providing data and technical support for various gravity projects, etc.

These tasks are very tedious.

Zhang Shuo had no interest in this. He continued to do theoretical research and led the people in the theoretical office to continue to improve the 'theoretical relationship between electromagnetic force and strong force'.

At the same time, he was also waiting for news from the Institute of Nuclear Physics.

The tokamak device of the Institute of Nuclear Physics will continue to be transformed, and the purpose of the transformation is to be able to measure electromagnetic signals experimentally.

If the electromagnetic signal can be detected in the experiment, the manifestation form of the strong conversion electromagnetic force will be known.

In this way, the hydrogen bomb battery has a technical foundation.

Of course, the problem of stable control of nuclear fusion must be solved along the way, but the specific plan still requires more knowledge of powerful measurement research and many basic experiments.

In this regard, they have already reached cooperation agreements with the artificial sun project.

The equipment of the artificial sun project is also undergoing transformation. Because the equipment is very large and complex, the transformation can be said to be a major project, which will take at least half a year to a year.

This period is all about waiting.

This is how physics research works, especially research involving technology. The required experimental environment requires the creation of new equipment, and waiting is inevitable.

Soon, three months passed.

In the past three months, great progress has been made in theoretical research. The progress of the task "theoretical connection between electromagnetic force and strong force" has reached nearly 75%, and the day of completion is already in sight.

Zhang Shuo has high expectations for himself.

Great progress has also been made in other areas. The Institute of Nuclear Physics sent a message saying that the modification of the equipment has been largely completed and has entered the testing phase of various parts. At the same time, the ordered equipment has arrived and experiments can be carried out next month.

At this time, a very important thing happened.

Information leaked!

A espionage incident occurred in the Science, Technology and Industry Bureau. An internal staff member used illegal means to obtain confidential information related to the ion cannon and sent the information out.

The staff member was captured just three hours later.

But the information had already leaked out.

The staff member's authority was not high, and even if he searched illegally, he could not find any theoretical information on "nuclear splitting".

All he found was an introduction to the ion cannon, but the information also involved key words such as "nuclear fission" and "cyclic acceleration".

The relevant information has been received and soon it was transmitted to the intelligence center on the other side of the ocean.

Decision-makers on the other side of the ocean also received detailed information about the intelligence.

Risman-Pent was holding an intelligence document in his hand. He read it carefully from beginning to end and his expression became very solemn.

"Brett, come and take a look." Riesman handed the document to Ben Brett Orwell.

There was not much information in the intelligence document. Orwell glanced at it and then showed the same expression as Riesman.

He pursed his lips and said, "We have always wanted to know the relevant technical information. Now that we know it, we feel a little regretful."

"It's really better not to know..."

Orwell smiled bitterly and said, “This is a completely new physical reaction, even a new type of nuclear reaction.”

"That ion cluster is undergoing a nuclear reaction, which is why it maintains a sustained high temperature. This nuclear reaction is also conductive. Just look at that satellite to see its power."

"Such an ion cluster cannot be intercepted at all. If it is used to attack a fixed target, the result will be unimaginable."

Reisman took a deep breath and nodded in agreement, "It's terrifying that they have mastered this technology. It's simply a weapon of a higher dimension."

"This is just one ion cluster. If there are more, for example, a concentrated attack, dozens or hundreds of them..."

"How to deal with it?"

"In the face of such technology, our aircraft carrier is just a target. It will be hit before it can even react. Perhaps only one shot is needed to completely destroy the aircraft carrier."

He raised the corner of his mouth and muttered, "Maybe we should raise our hands and surrender?"

Orwell smiled bitterly and shook his head, sighing, "Before we have the technology to deal with it, all we can do is maintain communication and avoid any unnecessary conflicts!"
